Chapter 37 (1) Defeating the Enemy

(ps: Do as the Romans do and do a KKK clickbait. There are two updates today, the first one is here.)

"Boo! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

After consuming countless troops and leaving behind countless infantry and cavalry soldiers, they managed to survive until the light cavalry of the Junzi Army fled. The extremely excited Zuorong rebel cavalry just howled and pounced on the relatively slow-moving heavy cavalry of the Junzi Army. From the battle to the present

The heavy cavalry of the Junzi Army, which basically had not taken action, began to show off its power again. Like the light cavalry of the Junzi Army, they turned around and fired arrows crazily while galloping. Hundreds of arrows were raining at the rebels at all times.

Arrows rained down from the heads of the cavalry, and the poor Zerong rebel soldiers were unable to fight back or dodge. Amidst the continuous sound of arrows piercing the air, they all screamed and fell off their horses, either dead or injured.

"Charge! Charge me!" Bodhisattva Ze was completely enraged. He waved his saber and just urged the cavalry to pursue him, shouting continuously, "Capture Tao Ying Xiao'er alive, and you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! If you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"

"Brother, Great Protector! Senior Brother, Great Protector!" After chasing for another three to five miles, a rebel general finally realized something was wrong. He rushed to Zuo Rong and shouted: "Great Protector, we can't chase any more, our team is too far behind.

It’s serious, the formation is too scattered, if we continue to chase, we won’t have many people left!”

Zuo Rong turned his head and looked around in surprise, and found that there were indeed not many of his own cavalry on the dusty battlefield, and the cavalry was still falling behind in pursuit. As far as the southeast direction could be seen, they were all corpses of his own cavalry.

and the stragglers. As for his own infantry, they didn’t know where they were thrown. Nervously, Zuo Rong quickly shouted: "Look, how many cavalry do we have left?"

No one can answer Zhe Rong's question. Under the dusk sky, arrows are raining on the battlefield. People are on their backs and their horses are flying. Dust is flying. The rebel cavalry are constantly falling down with arrows. They are constantly charging and falling behind. There are human corpses, horse corpses, and wounded soldiers.

The broken guns and broken flags lay in a straight line on the road, with no end visible at a glance. Under this situation, it is difficult for anyone to confirm how many casualties the Zeirong rebels have now, how many troops are left, and how many troops can be gathered.

The only thing that Zuo Rong can probably confirm is that there are definitely less than a thousand cavalry around him. The absolute advantage in strength has disappeared without a trace in the long and fierce pursuit battle!

"No more pursuit!" After discovering this, even though it was the first time he encountered such weird tactics, the cunning and cunning Zuo Bodhisattva came to his senses and shouted an order: "Stop! Stop chasing! Ming Jin! Ming Jin."

!Withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops!”

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Zuo Rong's soldiers rang the gongs they carried with them. Hearing the sound, the exhausted rebel cavalry, as if they had been granted amnesty, reined in their horses one after another, turned around and retreated towards the way they came. Still hearing the sound, they all decided to fight with Tao

Lin Qing, who should live and die together, quickly wiped away his tears, turned around, widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Why did the dog thief Zuo Rong win the gold? Our light cavalry escaped, and there were only more than 300 cavalry left. As long as we catch up,

We are sure to win?!"

Tao Ying put down his bow and arrow, took out a telescope that he had polished with natural crystals, and carefully observed whether the Zuo Rong rebels were retreating. Tao Ying couldn't help but laugh, and said to himself: "Ze Rong, kid, is not too stupid.

As long as we chase him for another ten miles, he won't even have a chance to escape, but it doesn't matter, he can just practice the close combat skills of my gentleman's army."

After laughing, Tao Ying nuzzled at the soldiers next to him. The soldiers immediately raised the triangular flag and waved it. The heavy cavalry of the galloping gentleman army reined in their horses and quickly turned around to regroup. At the same time, they took the time to drink water and organize their weapons.

The lines were rearranged, Tao Ying waved his command flag again, and a new slogan immediately sounded, "The Master said: If a person is not benevolent, what is the etiquette? If a person is not benevolent, what is the joy? Lin Fang asked about the origin of etiquette. Confucius said

: Great question! It is better to be frugal than to be extravagant about etiquette, and to be gentle than to be easy. Confucius said: "It is better for Yi and Di to have kings than for Xia to have none!"

The third chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" was recited neatly, and the heavy cavalry of the Junzi Army also started the third step of tactics. While charging, they fired arrows from a distance. The Zuorong rebels never dreamed that there were only about 300 people.

The heavy cavalry of the Junzi Army dared to launch a countercharge, and there was a sudden chaos. Some people turned around to meet the enemy, some galloped back and fled, and most of them just stood there at a loss. Fortunately, Zuo Bodhisattva was not fooled this time and waved his hand.

With his saber in hand, he just shouted, "Retreat! Retreat! No pursuit! As soon as Tao Ying'er is pursued, he will run away!"

"Brothers, run!" Amidst the shouts one after another, the rebel cavalry, which numbered less than a thousand, rushed to escape towards the road. They fought for each other and trampled on each other. Countless people died, while the heavy cavalry of the Gentlemen's Army pursued them closely.

Biting the rebels' tail, they kept drawing their bows and firing arrows during the charge, desperately trying to kill the rebel cavalry.

It was also at this time that Tao Ying's long-awaited important turning point finally came. The rebels' horses had been charging back and forth for more than seventy miles. Most of them were already foaming at the mouth, sweating profusely, and their running speed had slowed down too much.

There were even some cases where the horses were exhausted and fell down. However, the donkeys and horses under the Junzi Army showed incredible endurance advantages and always maintained considerable speed and strength, carrying the Junzi Army soldiers in pursuit.

The rebel soldiers who had exhausted their physical strength and horse power, while the soldiers of the Junzi Army kept firing arrows, they also began to use their hands to swing their swords and axes to kill the fallen rebel cavalry. The difference between the advantages and disadvantages between the rebels and the Junzi Army

The trend has completely reversed.

"This..., what is going on? How..., why does it seem like we are going to win?"

The situation of the war turned around inexplicably. The most confused person was the little girl Lin Qing next to Tao Ying. Although Lin Qing, who was born as a general, had never been on the battlefield, he had been influenced by his elders since he was a child. He was fairly familiar with the wars of this era and knew the army very well.

Once defeated, the army will be defeated like a mountain. Unless there are ambushes or reinforcements to support it, it will be difficult to reverse the situation. But now, the gentleman's army has retreated for more than 60 miles, with neither reinforcements nor ambush to support them. They are defeated.

Why did he gain the upper hand in the opposite direction? He was defeated and he seemed to be winning? Lin Qing had never heard of such a strange thing since he was a child!

In confusion, Lin Qing suddenly felt that the front hooves of the war horse under her crotch were weak, and both the man and the horse tipped forward. Lin Qing was so frightened that she screamed. Fortunately, Tao Ying was always by her side, and he had the foresight to catch her.

With a little hand, he waved his arm and threw the little girl into the air. He hugged the little girl in mid-air, carried her to his horse and sat down, and quickly reined in the horse's head. Only then did Lin Qing avoid it.

The man and the horse fell down. After Lin Qing calmed down from the shock, Tao Ying's kind and gentle voice also sounded in her ears, "Little girl, you didn't listen when I told you to shoe the horses, did you see? The hoof of your Dawan horse is bleeding.

, has been scrapped.”

"My horse's hoof is bleeding?" Lin Qing was startled. He quickly lowered his head and took a closer look. He found that the front hoof of the tall and magnificent Dawan horse he was riding was indeed bleeding. It was obvious that he had been running for seven consecutive days on the bumpy road.

After ten miles, plus the several days of long-distance raids with the Junzi Army, the horse's hoof finally couldn't bear the continuous violent friction with the sand and gravel, cracked, and was completely scrapped.

"It's all your fault!" After bulging her mouth like a child, Lin Qing vented her anger on Tao Ying and muttered: "If you had told me the function of horseshoes earlier, I would not have nailed my horse.

Go up? You pay!"

"Okay, okay, I'll apologize." Tao Ying pinched Lin Qing's tender face helplessly, then waved to the soldiers to bring a spare war horse, and smiled at Lin Qing: "Why don't you change horses quickly? You want to hug me

Until when? Although I don't mind, but I still have to fight now? If you want to hug me, I'll let you hug me until the battle is over."

Lin Qing took another look and realized that not only was she hugging Tao Ying with both hands, but her two slender legs were also wrapped around Tao Ying's waist, hugging Tao Ying like a pair of conjoined twins. She was so embarrassed that

, Lin Qing opened his mouth and bit Tao Ying's shoulder hard, and then he climbed up and put on the spare war horse brought by Tao Ying's soldiers, his face turned red to the root of his neck.

"It's time." Tao Ying ignored Lin Qing's unruliness and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Send the signal, close the net, and behead Zuo Rong!"

"No!" the soldier promised with his fists clasped, he took out a bamboo tube wrapped in oil paper from his arms, tore open the oil paper and lit it on fire. A small bright spot flew out from the top of the bamboo tube, flew up into the air and exploded, blooming into a huge group of flowers.

Although gunpowder has been invented in this era, it is very rare, so Lin Qing couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What is this? How beautiful?"

"Fireworks." Tao Ying replied smoothly: "If you like it, I will give you a few after the battle."

"Okay." Lin Qing agreed happily, and then asked: "Then what are you doing setting off fireworks during the war?"

"Of course, let the ambush attack." Tao Ying said with a smile.

"Ambush? An ambush from us?" Lin Qing was even more surprised.

"Who said no? Look, isn't this coming?" Tao Ying pointed into the distance and smiled.

Lin Qing turned his head to look in surprise, but was even more surprised to find that behind the mountains and woods on the left and right sides of the defeated rebel army, a group of cavalry under the banner of the Gentleman Army came out, riding their horses to the left and right towards Zuo Rong.

The army outflanked the army, and a group of Gentleman Army cavalry simply appeared diagonally ahead, outflanking the front of the Zairong rebels, blocking the road to block the Zairong rebel group. The rebel soldiers on the road were at a loss and kept running away with their heads in their hands.

There is no resistance.

After watching carefully for a moment, Lin Qing exclaimed: "The Qingqi led by Tao Ji, when did they surround the Zuo Rong dog thief?"
