Chapter 589
If 50,000 troops do not leave, the losses will be greater.
Of course Yi Mu knew, and immediately issued an order to retreat after a sigh.
"Okay, retreat."
The result of the battle is no longer expected. Unexpectedly, the enemy's troops have been ambushing for a long time, the key is the advantage in numbers and the advantage in territory.
Just this path, there are only advances and retreats.
Yi Mu didn't want to let himself lead his clan members to ruin him here, so he had no choice but to retreat. Every time he encountered a vanguard, he would end up losing. The current situation is to minimize losses.
The losses are unpredictable now, so Yi Mu made several thousand men's commanders whom he could trust to take three thousand cavalry mats to cover the retreat of the main force.
After cushioning, it means there is no return.
Li Jing had long thought that the enemy would run away. If he didn't run away in this kind of battle situation, he would be a fool, so they had already arranged a backup plan. It would not be easy for 100,000 soldiers to quickly eat so many people for a while.
Don’t look at the number of double the troops, the enemy on the battlefield is not the vegetables in the field, and it is not that they can be picked with some strength. They will resist.
This is how the battle is. It is not who is more powerful to keep these people, but who can hold whom. As long as they can hold them up, any situation may happen.
The vanguard's soldiers and 100,000 soldiers and horses wanted to surround the enemy's 50,000 cavalry, which was really difficult for the enemy to surround the enemy. As long as there were not enough people surrounding them, they could not defend themselves.
It was precisely because of these expectations that Li Jing had already sent people to prepare. Just when the enemy was retreating, the vanguard soldiers were lying in ambushing people rushed out of the ambush.
Yi Mu and others were caught off guard. They never expected that they had been plotted by others since they entered this area. They had not exposed the ambushers on both sides for a long time, and they were waiting for this time.
If the vanguard soldiers were responsible for surrounding the enemy appeared in advance, they might be fighting with Yi Mu's people, because the battle would become more intense with the target.
Now they just want to escape, but they still care about fighting. When their morale relaxes, their instincts are not resistance or fear.
They would think this time is doomed and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced if they are discouraged.
The result was what Li Jing expected. The people led by Yi Mu were very panicked when facing a sudden attack, flying around like headless flies. Unfortunately, they only had one way.
"Beat the drums and stop them!" Li Jing issued an order on the other side, and the drummers began to change the rhythm of the drum beats. These are their common communication methods, eliminating the disadvantage that flag words need to be read.
Using the sound of drums can command soldiers and horses to fight, clarify the meaning of the generals, and the soldiers can react quickly, and the drum beats are instructions now.
The vanguard soldiers who surrounded the rear all launched fierce attacks. Blocking these people was not their main task, because it was really possible to block them. If you want to keep these 50,000 people based on the terrain, it may be sacrificed to save many people.
It can be said that if all these enemies were eliminated in this battle, they would have to be prepared to hurt the enemy 10,000 and lose 800. If this is the military of the court, Li Jing really did this.
The generals accept the order. No matter how many casualties they have, they will succeed in achieving their goals, and the final contribution is inevitable. The emperor does not care about how many casualties the soldiers are. They only need one result.
Being able to win, acquire land or hold on to it will increase their reputation and political achievements.
The soldiers of the vanguard soldiers are not good. Li Jing knew very well that if he did this, the soldiers would definitely use their lives to keep the enemy. Even if he succeeded, he would not be the merits but the disaster of killing.
He didn't follow Li De for a long time, but he knew very well that Li De was definitely not a rude person.
Of course, the reason why such an order is not issued is that if the combat power of the vanguard soldier is able to retain the warrior, it is more valuable than losing it.
Li Jing knew very well that from the beginning, there was only one purpose for the ambushing and surrounding troops from behind, not to stop the enemy, but to do his best to hold the enemy back, and to eliminate the enemy's vitality.
Yi Mu was a little panicked, but the situation had already happened and he couldn't change it. Now he had no chance to choose and could only order a charge. Now it was not about how many people would be left, but how many people they could escape.
Yi Mu knew that maybe today was his crisis, and it was hard to say whether he could survive it. The general's desire to survive allowed him to drive the generals around him again.
"Follow me out!"
The Tiel Cavalry began to charge, and now they are all burning their boats. All the three thousand cavalrymen behind the cushion have lost, and the situation is already very critical.
The Tiel cavalry was not ordinary cavalry. They had riding skills that were not inferior to the Turks, and they had the fighting spirit of unyielding. The general restored his fighting spirit and gave the trapped soldiers a desire to survive one after another.
The power of a group is terrible. When they all have a belief and a goal, they are no longer afraid of death and what else can be defeated.
Li Jing watched the changes in the railway cavalry from behind. From the scattered moment to the concentration of breaking through now, he knew that they were unstoppable. If he fought hard on the terrain mountain, he would definitely be greatly impacted.
"Beat the drum!" Li Jing immediately issued a new order when he saw the enemy's intention.
In the chaos, the sound of the drum beats changed again, and the vanguard soldiers surged, but they immediately responded when they heard the drum beats, and the people behind had to meet the people in front.
Those responsible for the encirclement cannot retreat, but they can gather together to charge to the other side that is biased towards the enemy.
It is thought that the strongest force gathered to attack the side where the enemy is few, and letting the main force of the escaped enemy continue to escape is equivalent to giving way out. In addition, this can prevent excessive casualties. The vanguard soldiers responsible for blocking the road can charge in this way and expand the results of the battle.
"Charge, rush out!" Yi Mu shouted.
They are now like frightened birds, and they will not pay attention to the changes in the vanguard. They are eager to quickly break out of the siege. Even the most alert Yi Mu has lost his judgment under such circumstances.
If the trapped person was replaced by Li Jing, he would definitely notice this, so he would choose to fight head-on with the surrounding enemies, because even if they were defeated, they could still play their due value.
In addition, if the local generals don’t want their troops to consume too much, they may temporarily change their minds and retreat directly.
In this way, the belief in pursuing death can eventually bring vitality.
If Yi Mu could detect this and let the soldiers face the enemy head-on, then Li Jing would definitely change his strategy as soon as possible and let the soldiers pass smoothly.
