Turbulent Times Chapter 1097: Collecting the victory
The soldiers beside Jin Yibei suddenly said to him: "Look, General." While speaking, he pointed to the north.
Jin Yibei turned his head and saw that the Sui cavalry had re-arranged about 150 paces away. With the sound of a bugle, the opponent's cavalry phalanx began to jog. The army special warfare scout cavalry retreated to the infantry formation one after another.
Jin Yibei couldn't help trembling, he didn't want to think about it, according to this style of play, as long as there are two more rounds, he will lose all his people, and the young master who sits in Annan County City will definitely eat him , and more importantly, he lost the confidence to win, so he had to leave here quickly.
But the opponent's cavalry rushed past their entire cavalry just now, and instead occupied the north, so he had to pass through their blockade. They were ahead, and the team would be completely scattered on those complicated terrains. If you just want to bypass them, these cavalry occupying the inside line are not slow, and a direct side attack on them will be more deadly than a frontal collision.
So even if he doesn't want to, he still has to charge the opponent again, and the opponent's foot formation is less than two hundred steps away, so he must leave as soon as possible, otherwise he will fall into a state of eternal doom if he is not careful. No one can run away.
Jin Yibei was also a general in the army in the early years. Later, he committed a crime and was rescued from the prison by Yuan Taizuo and became a general. , At this time, he quickly thought of a way, and shouted to the two soldiers around him: "Blow the horn, follow if you can, and don't wait if you are dragged, follow Lao Tzu's flag, don't pull away... ..."
Goguryeo and Tai Sui's horns sounded differently, and Jin Yibei's flag moved to the north. Some officers hissed and howled, making the nearby subordinates closely follow the general's banner.
There are still more than 300 Goguryeo scattered cavalry surrounded by the Sui army's infantry and cavalry, and there are hundreds of Goguryeo rangers on the two wings. After plummeting, there was no nutritious pursuit with the rangers on the two wings of the Sui army. After the infantry phalanx approached, they began to flee far away to the flanks.
However, some of these rangers are extremely powerful. Regardless of the entanglement of the special forces scouts, they got off their horses despite the casualties and attacked the two wings of the Sui cavalry with their infantry bows. They all aimed at the riding horses, causing seven or eight people on the edge of Yuchi Jingde's cavalry formation to be shot down.
The distance of a hundred paces disappeared quickly, and amidst people screaming and neighing, there was another round of cavalry collisions. Jin Yibei led the assembled cavalry of more than 2,000 cavalry to concentrate on the assault. , the front and rear intervals are larger to avoid being blocked by the chaos caused by the collision.
Jin Yibei personally took the lead, using his personal soldiers as the front, and opened the gap by exchanging his life for his life, but the opponent's cavalry still kept their formation and passed by, not fighting with them. The follow-up Goguryeo soldiers did not dare to stand in front of them, and only the cavalry on the edge shot a dense wave of light arrows with cavalry bows, and their accuracy was also very poor.
Wang Junlin's cavalry in the fourth row stepped aside and aimed at the Goguryeo cavalry with a rapid crossbow. The Goguryeo cavalry fired back with a wave of light arrows. They fled north without stopping.
So far, they have more than 3,000 cavalry, and at this time there are only less than 2,000 left.
Yuchi Jingde led his cavalry phalanx at an unabated speed, slashing across the hillside like iron brushes, the Goguryeo cavalry dragged in the formation by those special warfare cavalry cavalry had no power to fight back, almost all of them became single soldier status. After being sorted out by Yuchi Jingde, none of them were still alive.
The more than 1,700 cavalrymen who broke out from Goguryeo fled to the north, and they came from there like a rainbow fifteen minutes ago. The Goguryeo rangers on the two wings saw that they were abandoned, no matter how strong they were If they stayed any longer, they all jumped on their horses and ran wildly. In fact, they ran faster. As early as the first round of impact was completed, they realized that the situation was not good. Many Goguryeo cavalry were shocked by the fierce momentum of the Sui army, and fled northward by detouring the two wings early.
Wang Junlin said something to Zhang Tiangang, and the latter personally led more than 400 special forces to gallop out, abandoning the Goguryeo rangers who were fleeing scattered on both wings, and grabbed the cavalry of Yuchi Jingde who was reorganizing and turning around. Before the battle, they chased the main force of Goguryeo along the official road.
At this time, Luo Chunlai rushed to the battlefield with 5,000 naval officers and soldiers, killed more than 100 Goguryeo wounded soldiers who begged for mercy, and then began to carry the wounded on his own side.
Yuchi Jingde withdrew to the north **** and regrouped. In two rounds, more than 1,200 Goguryeo cavalry were knocked down. Nearly half of Goguryeo's menacing main formation was damaged in a blink of an eye. Nearly half of Goguryeo was lost, and the rest were desperately fleeing for their lives. In the short term, they will no longer be an organized combat force.
The bandit-born cavalry howled loudly with excitement. There were only more than 130 of them dead or wounded. , Those who survive naturally need to soothe their emotions.
After a moment of relief, Yuchi Jingde ordered the only remaining trumpeter to blow the assembly horn, waiting for Wang Junlin's order. Sure enough, Wang Junlin's order arrived quickly: "Your Excellency has an order, General Yuchi immediately pursues with the whole team, and cooperates with the special forces to bite the enemy's tail tightly so that he does not dare to enter the city."
Yuchi Jingde promised, and shouted orders to his sub-captains, only then did he realize that only nine of his twelve sub-captains remained, and it was unknown whether the other three were injured or dead. The captain rushed to the front and held the flag gun again. It was the focus of the enemy's attack, and the proportion of the three casualties was actually very small.
Yuchi Jingde had been the leader of the bandits for four or five years before this, and he had seen too many deaths and injuries, so he had no time to be sad at this time, so he temporarily appointed several outstanding team leaders as team leaders, supplementing the command structure.
Department.
At this moment, Yuchi Jingde's heart was full of admiration for Wang Junlin. Although he knew that this cavalry combat method should be very good, he didn't expect the effect to be so good. Right now he is full of incomparable confidence, thinking that Goguryeo Sooner or later he will be defeated, and now he needs to expand his victories in pursuit.
As soon as the marching horn sounded, Yuchi Jingde led the cavalry phalanx to restore tranquility, and marched northward one by one in pursuit.

When Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong were heading towards Da Luo City with their respective troops, the soldiers of the Luo Chunlai Navy around the battlefield were coming and going, carrying the wounded and corpses on their side twenty steps away, letting them go there. The medics took care of them. Although there is a lack of more effective medicines, as long as the wounds are cleaned properly, their survival rate will be much higher than other armies of this era.
