Chapter 838 Despair
Before leading the cavalry troops in pursuit, Shi Lei had reminded him that he should pay attention to a dark-faced general among the enemy who said that the enemy had some strength.
This also made Xie Liancheng feel more energetic as soon as he came up.
As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
Although it looked like a simple swing of the knife, Xie Liancheng could tell from it that the opponent had some tricks up his sleeve.
If you follow the opponent's path, whether it is parrying or counterattacking, the opponent will always have a move at his disposal.
If his strength were one or two levels stronger, he might be able to defeat him a few more times.
Unfortunately, my own hardware is too poor and I am no match for him.
Jie Liancheng’s chop directly determined the outcome!
In full view of everyone, Zhao Hu was decapitated as soon as he faced him. Such terrifying strength made the faces of the charging Liang cavalry show unconcealable fear.
The ensuing intention to retreat caused their entire charging momentum to significantly weaken.
On the other hand, Jie Liancheng, after beheading Zhao Hu, was riding a horse and his speed didn't even slow down by half. He rushed into the enemy formation like a wolf among sheep!
In an instant, flesh and blood spattered. As a top warrior, the powerful suppressive power he can show in such a small-scale armed conflict was undoubtedly revealed at this moment!
The strength advantage on the opposite side was completely failed to be utilized in front of Jie Liancheng.
Seizing the opportunity, the Zhou cavalry shouted the slogan 'The enemy general is dead, surrender without killing', so that they could further damage the morale of the opponent.
Although the method was old, it was not effective, and the Liang cavalry was quickly defeated.
The Zhou cavalry led by Jie Liancheng seized the opportunity and captured prisoners wildly. They were not in a hurry to pursue the large army of Liang State.
The prisoners in front of me are real cheap labor. Every time you capture one, it is a credit.
As for Liang Guo's large army, even if they catch up, they will at best fight against the autumn wind on the outside. It is impossible to actually charge towards the large army on the opposite side.
After all, they are not trapped in a camp, they are protected by a full set of iron armor.
When there are no troops in the rear to support them, they can forcefully charge into the enemy's large forces. Of course they can do so if they insist on it, but their own side will definitely suffer casualties. It is not cost-effective and there is no need.
It is not far from Anling City at this time. Now that they have captured prisoners, they cannot lead the entire expedition. They might as well escort the captured prisoners and the enemy's horses back to Anling City first. .
During this process, Commander Liang Jun saw that the cavalry unit headed by Zhao Hu had not returned, and his heart began to sink uncontrollably.
He knew that there was a high probability that this would be a disaster.
He didn’t have time to think about what happened, so he made a decisive decision and gave the order directly...
"Give me an order to throw away all the things you can throw away, lighten your load, and march overnight!"
This approach of coach Liang Jun has an effect, but not much.
Even if the load was reduced and the troops marched overnight, the movement efficiency of Liang Jun's large army was still at the level of infantry. How could it possibly outrun the cavalry, which is a high-mobility unit?
Listening to the rumble of horse hooves coming from behind, Coach Liang Jun's body began to tense up. When the Zhou army flag dancing wildly in the wind came into view, his face suddenly turned livid. .
“Get ready to fight!”
After receiving the order, Liang Jun's large forces quickly entered combat status.
But the Zhou cavalry who were chasing them did not charge directly. Instead, they kept a safe distance from them, and then took off the bows on their backs with their backhand!
At this moment, Coach Liang Jun’s face even showed a hint of collapse. What a despairing scene this is?
If the cavalry on the opposite side charges directly towards them, they will still have the strength to fight despite their casualties.
But if the opponent relies on their attack range and mobility to consume them from a distance, then their group of infantry will have no room to fight back!
The situation in front of us is not difficult to understand. It can even be said that it is too clear. Even the soldiers below reacted quickly.
But this is a good thing for Jie Liancheng and the others as the pursuing party.
As this situation developed, people within Liang Jun were panicked, and the condition of the soldiers could be said to have plummeted.
After noticing Liang Jun's situation, Jie Liancheng couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
[At this time, if I charge in a wave, will the opponent be completely defeated? 】
Considering that this wave of pursuit was mainly based on long-range consumption, they specially hung two more barrels of arrows on the side of the saddle, but even so, there were only four barrels in total.
At first glance, it seems like a lot, but if it is used frequently, it will be used up quickly.
This also means that they cannot continue to consume remotely.
If he could directly resolve the battle with a single charge, then Xie Liancheng would be a little excited.
However, this idea floated in his mind for a while, and he quickly gave up on his own initiative.
[Forget it, it’s not cost-effective. They have already lost, so there is no need to take this risk. 】
In this era, the cost of building a cavalry unit is very valuable. When the victory is basically guaranteed, why bother to do such a thing at the risk of increasing casualties to the cavalry units under your command? ? It is indeed not cost-effective.
With this thought flashing through his mind, the cavalry unit headed by Jie Liancheng continued to pursue and consume them with mounted shooting.
Maintaining this state, after chasing for about ten miles, Liang Jun on the opposite side suddenly made a new move.
"No, those guys ran up the mountain!"
The environment here is mostly mountains and plains. During the previous pursuit, there were also large mountains nearby, but the mountain walls were steep and almost vertical, making it impossible to climb. , so Xie Liancheng didn't pay special attention.
They maintained a steady rhythm throughout the whole process and implemented their attrition tactics.
I never thought that after crossing that section of the road, the mountains in front of me would suddenly level off.
Coach Liang Jun seized the opportunity and immediately ordered to break up the whole team into pieces and run up the mountain.
Although the cavalry has strong mobility, for safety reasons, they still maintain a safe distance from Liang Jun's troops when not taking action.
Now it is too late to pursue him.
By the time they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the Liang Jun soldiers had completely fled into the mountain.
Looking at the mountain in front of him, Xie Liancheng curled his lips slightly in displeasure, and then his eyes fell on the equipment and supplies that had been thrown at the foot of the mountain.
“Forget it, without supplies, how many days can we survive escaping into the mountains? It’s just a desperate struggle.”
As he spoke, Jie Liancheng cast his eyes on the equipment and materials at the foot of the mountain. In order to escape, Liang Jun didn't even have time to deal with these equipment and materials. Now it was all at their advantage.
"Gather these things together and take them all away! Don't leave even a hair for them!"
