Unfortunately, Wu Shu thought too much this time.
Regardless of whether the weakness of the artillery he discovered was true or false, it would no longer be of use.
Li Xing had been preparing for so long, not just for a real head-on confrontation with the Jurchens.
After Li Xing severely defeated the Jurchens on the frontal battlefield, the next step was to reap the fruits of victory. How could he be so foolish as to fight with them.
Wu Shu led his team to retreat for less than half an hour when a scout horse quickly reported that two armies appeared on the left rear and right rear, and together with the enemy on the opposite side, they had formed a Z-shaped encirclement!
At this time, before the Jurchens could react, the troops surrendered by the Wu Dynasty became chaotic.
They could clearly see how the Jurchens' Tiefutu and Kaizima were completely annihilated.
Only then did the troops from the Wu Dynasty realize that there was an army more powerful than the Jurchens in the world.
Moreover, this miraculous army belongs to the Wu Dynasty. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you may not believe it even to death.
Now I heard that there was more than one such army, and three of them came at once, and they had already surrounded me and the Jurchens. This was a big surprise, they were all waiting to die!
The surrendering troops of the Wu Dynasty do not want to die. Instead of following the Jurchens and waiting to be wiped out by the Wu Dynasty's own army, it is better to surrender now, and maybe there will be a way to survive!
I have to say that the troops who surrendered to the Wu Dynasty were very smart, and those who were not smart would have died on the battlefield with the Jurchens.
The smart Wu Chao surrendered the army and made a decision quickly. When the Jurchens had just received the news and the morale of the army was unstable, they ran away!
Wu Shu's nose was twisted with anger.
All the Jurchens' noses were crooked with anger.
It's a pity it's useless.
The troops who surrendered to the Wu Dynasty were poorly equipped. Not to mention armor, they didn't even have a few pieces of clothing on them, so they ran very briskly.
Looking at the Jurchens again, they are all wearing helmets and armor, fully armed, and chasing the Wu Dynasty's surrender troops on foot with all their equipment. Even if the Jurchens spend three more lifetimes in the old woods, they still can't get enough training.
As for sending cavalry to chase?
Forget it, even if Wu Shu's own soldiers are included, the number of Jurchens' cavalry is only five hundred.
The Wu Dynasty surrendered nearly 20,000 troops. He used 500 cavalry to chase and kill nearly 20,000 Wu Dynasty troops. Wu Shu was not that smart.
Even if you can catch up, what's the use?
What we have to consider now is how to break out of the encirclement and how to deal with the ensuing war, rather than dealing with a bunch of useless troops from the Wu Dynasty!
As the commander of the Second Army, Li Xing's goal was to completely annihilate Wu Shu's 30,000 troops.
Seeing Wu Chao's surrender troops begin to flee, a smile appeared on Li Xing's lips.
He knew that the Jurchens were completely finished.
"Send half of the cavalry to collect the troops surrendered by the Wu Dynasty and don't let them escape."
"yes!"
Hearing that no one would be killed if they surrendered, the running troops of the Wu Dynasty quickly surrendered.
Of course, there are those who surrender and those who do not want to surrender.
However, when most of the surrendered troops surrendered, the remaining ones who wanted to take the opportunity to escape all became victims of the Yun family's cavalry!
The cavalry of the Yun family army implemented a cruel battlefield policy. If they did not surrender at the beginning and chose to continue fleeing, it would be useless to surrender after they caught up. No one would be left behind, and they would all be hacked to death!
Seeing how ruthless the Yun family's army was, the Wu Chao surrender troops who were still hesitating immediately threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
I originally thought about being from the Wu Dynasty and seeing if I could fish in troubled waters, but now it seems I'd better forget it. These guys are different from the ordinary Wu Dynasty troops.
After clearing out the surrendered troops of the Wu Dynasty, the situation on the battlefield became clearer. There were only more than 6,000 Jurchens left, and most of them were infantry. So what else is there to say? Just go ahead and do it!
An hour later, the other two divisions of the Yun Family Army finally surrounded them.
Seeing the smoke and dust covering the sky getting closer and closer, Wu Shu's heart became heavier and heavier, and the hearts of all the Jurchens became heavier and heavier.
I never expected that the invincible Jurchen warriors would fall into the hands of a bunch of idiots from the Wu Dynasty. How could his dignified fourth prince return to meet his elders in Liaodong?
Although he already knew that the chance of turning defeat into victory was slim, Wu Shu still steeled himself and conveyed orders one after another, preparing to fight the enemy to the death!
It's a pity that Wushu... I don't know how many times I thought too much.
With an absolute advantage, Li Xing would not engage in a gentleman's battle with the Jurchens.
He kept in mind Yun Chao's explanation that war means using all means, and as long as he can win, any method is correct.
History is always written by the victors.
If you win, everything is right.
If you are defeated, no matter how "gentleman" you are, you are still a hypocrite at best.
Unlike the confident Li Xing, Wu Shu was not completely discouraged.
Even if I die, I will bite off a piece of your flesh...
No, I will bite off one of your arms, or even one of your legs!
Wu Shu thought very well. Even if he was defeated, he would seriously injure the strength of this special Wu Dynasty army. If he could defeat 10,000 of them and leave 20,000, it would be impossible for him to be his second brother Zong Wang. opponent!
The Jurchens also have crossbows, and they can play them very well.
After defeating the Khitans and the Wu Dynasty, they got a lot of crossbows.
In Wu Shu's view, the range of the Ta Zhang Crossbow was no closer than that of the Yun Family's artillery, and was even slightly better.
So, the Jurchens formed a large formation, preparing to die together with the Yun family army!
Li Xing saw through the Jurchens' intentions at a glance.
"I want to go all out, haha, the Jurchens are thinking too much. Send the order, let the artillery fire solid bullets, and blast away the Jurchens' formation!"
"Your order!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Wu Shu was dumbfounded.
Why is it different from before?
The opponent's big iron pipe can only hit a hundred steps. How can it hit it so far?
This is more than two hundred steps, okay!
When Wu Shu saw the iron lumps flying into his formation, he no longer knew how to use words to describe his mood.
The elite Jurchen warriors, faced with the roaring iron lumps, had no power to resist at all!
He watched helplessly as his men turned into bloody wrecks.
He watched helplessly as the Yun Family Army's artillery shells opened up alleys of flesh and blood in his formation.
Watching helplessly...
Straight bitch!
I can't stand it anymore!
Disgusting Wu Chao pigs, I will fight with you!
"Brothers, follow me and charge!"
Worthy of being a famous general of his generation, before his own morale collapsed completely, Wu Shu made the most correct decision. With the remaining five thousand infantry, he turned around and charged towards the Yun family army in the rear!
Wu Shu had already seen that it was impossible to die together with the Yun family army, and it was unlikely that he would bite off a piece of their flesh.
All he can do now is to run out of the encirclement of the Yun family army, run back to Bianliang City, and report to his second brother Zong Wang, reminding him to be careful of this hateful Wu Dynasty army!
