Chapter 26 Wu Jingqian's army was counterattacked by the broken Jiangdong iron cavalry
On the wide official road, tens of thousands of troops marched, the dust and smoke that winded like a giant dragon covered the sky and the earth. At first glance, the entire army was moving forward with a mighty momentum.
As the General of the General of the Army under the command of Yuan Shu, this was the first time that Wu Jing led so many soldiers to fight. He felt a little satisfied with his ambitions.
From time to time, he looked at his nephew who was becoming more and more mature not far ahead. However, he understood that all the things in front of him were actually brought by this capable nephew. If it weren't for Sun Ce, he would still be dazed at Hengjiang City with Sun Ben.
"My sister is still a capable person! After marrying a brave husband, she can still give birth to such a capable nephew. But no matter how capable you are, you will still be different from calling me uncle obediently!
Hehe! The more capable you are, the more glorious your uncle's face will be! At the beginning, I was the only one in the family who supported my sister to marry your father, otherwise you, a slutty boy, would have been born there!"
Thinking of his complacentness, Wu Jing sat on the horse's back and had to twist a few times from time to time.
It seems that Wu Jing is getting fatter and is not used to doing such a laborious thing as riding a horse.
The 20,000 army marched a little slowly. It was not until noon that Sun Ce's two thousand cavalry began to set off from the wharf. Just as he was halfway through with Wu Jing and others, the team in front suddenly became a little confused.
As the chief general, Wu Jing quickly ordered an inquiry, and soon several soldiers dressed in messy clothes were taken to the generals by the guards.
A general who looked like a military waiter, saw the generals without asking Wu Jing, and quickly explained the situation ahead.
"General, when our vanguard arrived outside Moling City, he was stepping up the construction of the military camp. He was attacked by a large group of cavalrymen from the enemy. The soldiers were caught off guard. He suffered heavy casualties and the front army was defeated."
When he heard that the vanguard troops had been defeated, Wu Jing was furious: "Baozi! You are all a group of trash! This is Jiangnan! How could there be so many enemy cavalry? Where did they come from the war horses?
Also, this Suli was born in a famous family. How dare he be so unreasonable? He actually sneaked into the vanguard army who built the camp so despicable! Our army sent someone to attack the camp before we decided to set up a camp! I will never finish it with him! It's simply outrageous!"
Sun Ce and Li Ru around him looked at each other and smiled bitterly. You have come to the door, so don’t let others resist! This is really a bit old-fashioned and pedantic like Uncle Wu Jing.
But this is a war after all. You can't stop it if someone wants to take action.
The Junhou, who was rewarded, was angry when he saw Wu Jing and took a few steps back hesitantly.
Finally, he said, "General! When his subordinates came out, they cut off the heads of the two enemy cavalry. They had no long hair on their heads, and the clothes on their bodies were different from what we were wearing.
The captured soldiers all said that they were Buddhist soldiers, and they were blessed by the Buddha Lord. Killing them would cause retribution! My subordinates didn’t know what the Buddha Lord was. They didn’t dare to kill more for a while! They rushed out with a group of brothers.”
Sun Ce was speechless: "This Buddha is very powerful! It seems that these cavalrymen are monk soldiers brought by Zuo Rong from Xuzhou.
It would be easier for the lawless bald monk, Zuo Rong, to tell people common sense and follow the military tactics of the law, to let the nuns get sent home and get married.
Strange! Didn’t these monks say that Bajie? What kind of Buddha do they believe in? They are more cruel than anyone else when they kill people. They are not monks, they are just a group of bandits!"
In a blink of an eye, I saw the generals around me, all looking at my lord with light in my eyes. The horse, who felt keen, seemed to feel the sudden anxiousness of the owners on their backs, and they all became a little restless.
He smiled in his heart: "These guys have won so many times and finally established the belief of winning! But counting it, this is the first time that the Jiangdong Army has a chance. Use cavalry to deal with cavalry! It's good to use these bald men to practice soldiers!"
The iron cavalry of the Jiangdong Army was dispatched, and the real iron hooves flew over and stirred up thicker smoke and dust on the mud road, completely submerging the infantry on the roadside. However, none of the infantry wanted to curse because they were cavalry on their own side.
In addition to countless envious eyes, the infantry stopped moving and let the dust bury themselves. The defeated soldiers just now had already made everyone know that their front army was defeated by the enemy's cavalry.
However, there are cavalry stronger than the enemy to help with revenge. All they have in their hearts is pride, without any resentment.
When Sun Ce and Zhang Liao led two thousand cavalry to the outside of Moling City, an almost one-sided massacre had just ended. There were also many bald men looking for something on the battlefield. From time to time, they waved their swords and slashed some of the struggling wounded.
A raging fire rose on the camp set up by Wu Jing's vanguard army. Those were countless tarpaulins used to build military tents and fences for building military camps. When the fire broke out, I was afraid that countless people would camp tonight.
In the distance, teams of Liu Yao's infantry were happily loading countless seized supplies onto large trucks, including some wooden oxen loaded with food and grass, transporting them to the city, which were the food and grass transported by the vanguard.
Some people even have no big carts and cannot grab a limited number of wooden cows, so they simply carry the grain bags on their shoulders and walk back. The joy of harvest makes people feel a little more powerful.
After burning the tent, the cavalry of the Jiangdong army was not heartbroken. Everyone's military tents were tied to the back of spare war horses. They were not afraid of the enemy's burning, but the military rations were not separated from Wu Jingjun.
Seeing that someone dared to steal our wooden cows, they might be hungry at night, the cavalry who had already tried to try all started to scream. With Zhang Liao, the cavalry commander of the two teams of cavalry, Han Dang gave an order, the heavy hooves began to sound on the battlefield that had just fallen silent.
The black torrent rushed towards Liu Yao's army, who was still immersed in the joy of sharing victory. Almost at the moment when the hooves sounded, Liu Yao's soldiers exclaimed: "Enemy attack! The enemy cavalry is coming. Retreat quickly!"
The prefect Satori, who was watching the battle at the top of the city, saw that the cavalry of Zhuo Rong had defeated Wu Jing's vanguard army, and the infantrymen who were specially sent to transport supplies were mainly to transport food and grass from the city.
I never thought that the enemy also had cavalry and came so quickly. Therefore, many infantrymen did not even have equipment to resist.
On the entire battlefield, three thousand bald cavalry who had just been snatched were divided into very dispersed. Everyone was concentrating on plundering their own spoils. Faced with the counterattack of the Jiangdong Army, they could not organize effective resistance at all. (..)
