Jiao Jin coughed behind him. Liu Zheng knew it, and the two turned to a place where Mao Bingyi could not hear it. Jiao Jin said, "The elites in the world of Qiexue are extraordinary. The enemy comes with a force of one thousand households, and at least hundreds of heavy armored cavalry, and maybe there are a considerable number of accompanying infantry. In a wilderness like Shenzhou, not to mention us, even if the two Beiwei and Zhenwu Forefront are there, plus the strength of one or two armies, they will not be able to occupy the advantage in the scene. Don't be reckless at this time..."
l Liu shook his eyebrows: "Don't really think I'm an idiot. Just these people at present, no one of the ten fights against Qie Xue Bing may be the opponent."
He turned around and shouted to everyone, "Don't burn the boat! Go immediately! Go now!"
j Jiao Jin reminded: "That second tip is the time to use it now."
Liu Jin nodded, took out the tip from his arms and took it apart and checked it.
"So, the military advisor was still smart when he should be cunning." Liu Zheng smiled and said, "The whole army heard it!"
"Retreat immediately toward Dengzhou in the south!"
The team officials and team members will make a promise together. A more senior team officer asked: "What should the husband and craftsmen handle?"
Liu Zheng said coldly: "You still need my instructions? Give it all to me..."
Jiao Jin immediately retorted loudly: "Don't understand it wrongly! General Liu's order is to release everyone! Our army's military orders are strict and we will never kill civilians or prisoners! Do you understand!"
Liu Jin glared at Jiao Jin, ignored everyone and walked towards his mount.
A full-armored knight jumped off his armored horse and knelt down and carefully looked at the fresh footprints on the ground. After a while, he stood up and said to Qixue Tulu Hua Qianhu Qidu, who was riding on a snow-treading black horse behind him, "Sinan Siren walked for a short time, and about a thousand people looked like they crossed the river and went south."
A pair of murderous eyes appeared under Qi Du’s heavy face, and he shouted loudly: “How long can I take to catch up with those Southern Army?”
"It depends on how the road to the south can be decided." The leading officer stood up: "The people of Sinan are all infantrymen, and it will take not much time to catch up with them."
Qi Du turned his head and shouted at the neatly arranged eight hundred iron-armored cavalry behind him: "Although there are only one thousand infantry, you must not underestimate the enemy! Chase up, use the sharpest spear, the fastest saber, and the strongest bow and arrow to eliminate them! The first drop of blood to conquer Jiangnan this autumn was taken down by our Tuluhua! Who are we!"
The uniform roar of the eight hundred cavalrymen shook the river of Yuema River: "We are Tuluhua, we are the spears of the Great Khan!"
A deputy general behind Qi Du said, "The Han craftsmen have fled to all directions. They should send a soldier to capture them."
"You can't do anything else when you are distracted. Chase two rabbits at the same time, and you can't catch the last one." Qi Du said.
"But Tu Mian's Yan said, craftsmen are more precious than beauties. If so many shipbuilding craftsmen run away now, what should Tasi's Yan do if he blames them?"
"Then you can't use Tu Luhua to do these things!" Qi Du shouted: "Huoerchi! Go and notify Yan Shi Nayan immediately and ask him to send two thousand people to chase these craftsmen!"
He turned to the deputy general and said, "Get out five hundred people from your companions to come for you. You should take these people to catch all the craftsmen first. I will take the team to chase the fleeing Sinan Si people!"
Tuluhua Army was in the expedition, and each soldier was allowed to carry five to ten servants who accompanied the army. These people were playmates and child servants of noble children since childhood, or warriors selected from the tribe. As the personal bodyguards of the princes and grandchildren, although the Qixue Army was a splendid military discipline, it was not easy for Tuluhua's noble children to suffer too much. Moreover, as heavy cavalry soldiers, they must need various support for the servants who accompanied the Qidu headquarters. Take the 800 Qixue Tuluhua, the headquarters of Qidu, as an example. In the Helin period, the entire army had more than 6,000 people from soldiers to companions to various military personnel. Of course, some of the companions would stay behind when they went on the expedition. However, there were more than 2,000 people who followed Tuluhua's operations.
These companions basically have considerable combat power. Their horses, equipment and armor are provided by the Tuluhua tribe, so they appear to be diverse, including the large swords and spears from the Han area, the iron chisels and short axes from the Mongolian headquarters, and the scimitars and iron locks from the Western Regions. The armor also shows its own abilities and has no unified shape. Some people wear armor, while others do not wear armor. However, although the horses they ride are also very good, they never carry armor. This is to save horsepower and concentrate on serving the Tuluhua troops.
It is naturally the most suitable thing to use these companions to carry out the task of capturing craftsmen. The general led five hundred companions to scatter. Qi Du led the Tulu Flower Army across the Yuema River and came straight south.
Two or three miles south, I met the detective Chijun who was guarding the south.
"It has been two or three hours since the southerners. It seems that they are walking in a hurry. We have sent people to follow along the road. If we continue chasing along the road, we will not take long to catch up."
Without exploring Ma Chi to report Qi Du, you can see the appearance of these Song soldiers fleeing in panic. The casually discarded armor and military flags, and the chaotic footprints, all telling the Tulu Huajun that their target was already a frightened bird.
But the soldiers of the Tulu Flower Army not only did not feel energetic because of this, but instead seemed a little depressed.
If it is placed on the heads of the Han army or other troops, it would be a blessing from heaven to be able to obtain credit so easily. Chasing the fleeing enemy is probably the safest way to obtain military achievements in this era.
But for these tribes who first set foot on the battlefield of the Southern Expedition, and even many people were the first to participate in the war, pursuing the retreating enemy seemed too easy, and it was not easy to arouse their enthusiasm for fighting.
A Tulu Huajun complained in a low voice: "We have rushed over from Helin for such a big block, not to chase and kill the escaped cowards. Where are the elite soldiers and powerful generals of the Southern Dynasty?"
Qi Du raised the whip in his hand and shouted, "What are you saying? Whether it is the escaped enemy or the strong enemy, they are the enemies of the Khan! Those who escaped will not properly rectify them and will soon make a comeback. Khwarezm and our army fought on the border for three days and three nights, and the Mongolian kids won, but they did not pursue the victory. About 100,000 Khwarezm elite soldiers rolled and crawled back, but these elite soldiers later stationed in the three major cities of Khwarezm, and the Mongolian men lost countless times before they could attack. As long as they had the chance, all enemies were not allowed to let go!"
He pointed the whip south: "Don't let the southern soldiers escape!"
The Jingchu army, who was running towards the south, had already used full speed. Liu Zheng didn't even have time to rectify the marching formation he praised for his pride, but allowed the army to march slightly scattered. Instead, Jiao Jin led dozens of Beiwei troops to conquer the formation at the end of the team and rescued many of the fallen companions.
The reason for retreating in such a mess was that Liu Zheng was worried that he would be chased by the enemy's armored cavalry before he arrived at the place where Bai Yijie asked them to retreat. You must know that in a plain place, only one thousand people would be difficult to escape from the elite Qixue cavalry. Even if he could barely use his formation to resist one or two waves of attacks, he would not survive one after another.
What's even more fatal is that in order to carry out a surprise attack, the troops rarely wear armor, and even the armored Beiwei Army temporarily wears leather and paper armor that are easy to operate. If the enemy's Qiexue catches up with him at this time, using dense rain of arrows alone will be enough to create a massacre.
Fortunately, the retreat location explained by Bai Yijie was not far from the border of Dengzhou, and their retreat was not far away. At this time, you could see the bare flagpole of the dilapidated inn by the Tang River.
He shouted loudly: "Jiuchong Post is right ahead, and all the ministries work hard to move forward!"
He turned his head and before he could carefully check his team, he saw the smoke and dust rolling in the distance.
Seeing that he was approaching, there were more than him, and people in the team kept looking back and looking around. Even the soldiers of the Beiwei Army and Zhenwu Front Army, who were known as the elite, were panicked as they saw the pursuers getting closer and closer. What's more, many soldiers were present when Liu Quan tried the Mongolian officer captured alive, and they all knew what kind of troops the enemy was pursuing.
If it were the military horses elsewhere in Jinghu, they might have disbanded under the pursuit of such a powerful army, but Liu Zheng also saw that although the team was barely calm and disciplined, everyone's face was heavy and there was no relaxation at all.
It is inevitable that you will feel scared when facing the unparalleled Iron Cavalry Legion.
Liu Zheng is not a fool, so he is naturally a little afraid of these legendary elite soldiers and generals. However, his natural unyielding personality and his old courage make him look forward to a head-on conflict with the elites in the world.
Of course, it was not in this uncovered wilderness, but in the battlefield he chose.
However, this time Liu Zheng may have to change his mind and put himself in the place chosen by Bai Yijie for him to fight the enemy.
He had already seen birds constantly startling in the direction of Jiuchongyi, which was a signal of the army being.
He was also surprised that Bai Yijie was willing to openly deploy his army in Jiuchun Post without hiding his traces. Isn’t this clearly trying to win and lose with the enemy in the wilderness?
He shouted loudly to the entire army: "The Vice President has sent an army to pick us up! Everyone work harder!"
At this time, the exquisite people in the army had already seen the abnormalities of Jiuchun Post. Everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, even though that would quickly consume a little energy they had left.
