Turbulent Times Chapter 1269: Yang Su’s decision

The so-called defeat like a mountain is the scene in front of you. Whether it is Li Mi or Yang Su in person, it is difficult to stop or regroup the people to counterattack, unless Wang Junlin orders no more pursuit, but how is that possible.

The enemy troops, who had completely lost their fighting spirit, panicked and howled and ran wildly on the battlefield. Their weapons, armor and helmets were scattered all over the ground. They had only one thought left, which was to escape from this place.

Wang Junlin didn't need to give specific orders for the chase afterward, all the horses chased and killed frantically, easily beheading those rout soldiers who didn't resist at all from behind.

Part of the cavalry rushed into the horses left by the enemy just now and hacked. Thousands of horses ran wildly, and the enemy's rear became more and more chaotic. The wounded soldiers wailed loudly, but no one paid attention to them.

The speed of the retreat in front of him has far exceeded Li Mi's expectations. There are scattered troops running around everywhere, including some brave enemy cavalry and the Far Eastern cavalry. Li Mi, who was guarded by hundreds of personal soldiers, had already joined the ranks of fleeing, but while fleeing, Li Mi, Wang Bodang and other generals tried their best to recruit people.

After all, these 65,000 troops are the elite trained by Yang Su. Although today's fighting has dealt a severe blow to their morale, they are different from those bandits. The remaining 30,000 troops are running away , They gradually gathered together. Of course, this is directly related to Li Mi, Wang Bodang and others' ability and ability.

So, after Wang Junlin and the others chased and killed them for a while, there were about 2,000 enemy cavalry in front of the army. These two thousand cavalrymen looked at the chasing army led by Wang Junlin frantically with absolute expression on their faces.

Wang Junlin frowned suddenly. Under such circumstances, the enemy was able to organize a broken army. It is worthy of being the elite soldiers trained by Yang Su. Perhaps this has something to do with many of them, especially Hongnong, the backbone The Yang family has a lot to do with having children.

Li Mi left this army to block his own side, and when he kills all this army, it will take half an hour at the earliest, I'm afraid Li Mi will lead people far away by then, right?

Wang Junlin shook his head mockingly, and suddenly found that their previous judgment was wrong. The morale of Yang Su's side was indeed low, but don't forget that there is another reason-that is, the mourning soldiers must win, and they must be put to death. The truth of later life.

But Wang Junlin remembered why the enemy couldn't burst out with such a desperate determination when they were defeated?

Wang Junlin couldn't figure out this reason, and could only attribute it to the complexity of human nature and the unpredictable morale of the army at certain times.

Since the enemy has left cavalry behind, the Far Eastern Army's long spear battle formation has already been verified by countless wars and countless cavalry corpses --- it is the nemesis of all cavalry.

So, in order to reduce the loss, and to kill the two thousand dead cavalry in front of him as soon as possible, Wang Junlin ordered Luo Shixin to dismount with his four thousand cavalry to fight on foot without hesitation.

Two thousand cavalry from Yang Su's side charged like madmen...

After half an hour, there was no enemy alive in front of Wang Junlin's eyes. The cavalry, delayed for less than half an hour, should be able to catch up.

Just another half an hour later, at a mountain pass, an infantry battle between 3,000 infantry and about 1,000 cavalry lasted for half an hour and ended.

This is the narrowest point on the road leading to Liyang City, only about two or three hundred steps wide. If the enemy wants to seal this mountain pass, they can only line up five rows.

Therefore, in the end, there were another thousand corpses left here. It was just this delay. Wang Junlin knew that it would be difficult to catch up with the main force led by Li Mi, so he could only watch him leave helplessly.

Wang Junlin sighed, and said: "This place is less than sixty miles away from Liyang City, so we can't catch up with him. And if we catch up again, if Yang Su of Liyang City sends a large army to meet him, our army is exhausted. Fear of being counter-suppressed."

"So, pass down the order, set up camp in the same place, and send someone to notify Yangwu County. Lu Han will lead 2,000 people to stay behind, and the other 38,000 infantry will be led by Guan Xiaotong, and all the food, grass, and supplies will be sent here together. The government sent spies to investigate Yang Su's situation in Liyang City, and dispatched capable personnel to go around Liyang City to Luoyang, trying to get in touch with the officers and soldiers in the city."

"I obey."

Not long after, dozens of cavalry from south to north galloped away, and Wang Junlin led more than 20,000 cavalry to set up camp and rest.

Although they have won big victories against the bandits first and then against the elite enemy army led by Li Mi, they still lost about 4,000 people in total.

……

……

Liyang City.

Yang Su saw that Li Mi only brought back about 30,000 troops, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip ink. He gave Li Mi 65,000 elite troops, and at the same time he had tens of thousands of bandits to cooperate with. He also used Han Xiangguo's 100,000 bandits as bait to lure Wang Junlin to attack with only cavalry, and even lured him to the mountains, where he was surrounded by their army. He thought that even if he couldn't wipe out the cavalry led by Wang Junlin in one fell swoop, he could at least injure them severely, but who would have thought that the result would be just the opposite. They lost more than 35,000 elite soldiers. This is obviously not the result Yang Su wanted to see. .

"Duke, I have a heavy trust in my humble position. I lost more than 30,000 elites. Please punish me." Li Mi turned pale, and knelt down to plead guilty to Yang Su.

"Xuan Sui, get up! I already know what happened. I can't blame you for this. It's because we didn't have enough information about the Far East Army, and we made a mistake in estimating its combat power." He quickly regained his composure, called Li Mi's word with a calm expression, and helped Li Mi up.

"Thank you, Duke." Seeing that Yang Su didn't blame him, Li Mi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After taking advantage of the situation, he asked again, "What should we do now?"

Yang Su sighed, and said: "I didn't expect Wang Junlin's army to be so powerful. If we want to win this victory now, we may have to rely on something other than the battlefield."

Li Mi was shocked when he heard the words, and asked with some doubts: "Duke, it's just that the plan is too dangerous, so the crown prince Yang Hao would really do such a stupid thing?"

Yang Su sneered and said: "Yang Hao is the most stupid prince in the past and present, he will definitely follow our plan."

Li Mi hesitated for a while, and asked: "Master, this matter is really important, I dare to ask you in a lowly position, the people who attach importance to the public security to the prince can really influence the prince's decision."
