After Kong Lingyue killed Jiang Chao, he still attacked.
Wherever Kong Lingyue passed, the thousand cavalry under Jiang Chao continued to collapse.
In fact, under the cover of the Xuanjia Army, Jiang Chao's cavalry had begun to collapse. Jiang Chao's death intensified this process, making everyone afraid and unwilling to resist any longer.
A group of cavalrymen fled wildly.
Kong Lingyue led the Xuanjia Army to kill them all the way. After chasing for more than an hour, they had reached the border of Peixian County.
At this time, the thousand cavalry brought by Jiang Chao had been killed and collapsed. The person who is leading the retreat now is Peng Shan, the general under Jiang Chao.
Pengshan looked embarrassed and didn't dare to fight back.
He was already afraid of being killed.
Pengshan had witnessed his own general being killed. It was simply terrifying to be killed by that woman in a direct confrontation.
"Retreat, speed up your retreat, and retreat with all your strength."
Pengshan shouted loudly.
The war horses sped up and ran, and the remaining two hundred cavalrymen around them also retreated in confusion. Everyone was already panicking and even cursing in their hearts. Why are they still chasing after such a long distance?
Why are you still chasing after me?
Seeing the pursuers from behind getting closer and closer, everyone panicked and feared being killed. They all fled hysterically and screamed.
Boom! !
Just at this moment, there was a deafening sound of horse hooves on the official road ahead.
A troop of cavalry galloped over.
War horses neighed, banners hunted, smoke billowed, and the dark cavalry lay across the official road with murderous intent. At a glance, it was impossible to tell how many there were, at least more than 3,000 cavalry.
Even more.
Among these cavalrymen, there is a black horse character on the flag fluttering in the wind.
This is the arrival of Ma Qi's cavalry.
When Pengshan saw this situation, he became excited. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements from his side were coming. The countless evil spirits accumulated in his heart seemed to dissipate in this moment. He couldn't help but roared loudly: "The reinforcements are coming, we are here." Reinforcements are coming."
However, Pengshan did not fight back.
Still retreating.
Don't think that when the reinforcements come, you have to fight back immediately. If you fight back now, you are going to die. At least you have to wait for a large number of reinforcements to fight with the Daqian cavalry and defeat the opponent's offensive, so that the Daqian cavalry loses their spirit, and it will be easy to attack again. too much.
Among the Ma family cavalry, the leader is named Ma Liang.
This man is Ma Qi's clan brother. He is very thin, but he has eagle eyes and sharp eyebrows, giving people an extremely fierce impression. Although he is thin, his arms are powerful and he is Ma Qi's confidant.
As the person who guards Pengcheng County, Ma Qi naturally has many direct line forces.
Ma Liang is one of them.
Ma Liang was carrying a mace and saw the Xuanjia army charging ahead. He raised the mace high and said loudly: "Kill over, completely kill Dagan's cavalry, completely defeat the opponent, and then I'll kill you."
"Kill!"
Ma Liang shouted.
The four thousand cavalry he brought this time were also sprinting quickly.
The cavalry offensive was like a wave, and its strength far exceeded a thousand Xuanjia troops.
After Kong Lingyue saw this, her eyes became stern. If it were her direct lineage, Kong Lingyue would definitely charge head-on, but Xuan Jiajun, as Zhao Shan's direct lineage confidant, was even more precious.
Now it's not worthwhile to charge head-on and get killed or wounded.
Kong Lingyue did not hesitate and ordered: "Pass my military order, the troops will spread to both sides, turn around and withdraw, and retreat at full speed."
"General, we can attack from the front."
Liu Li, the general of the Xuanjia Army, shouted loudly. He was a general of the Xuanjia Army and he dared to fight and fight hard. Especially following Zhao Shandong's expeditions to the east and west, the Xuanjia Army has never retreated without a fight.
The Xuanjia Army advances but never retreats!
It is impossible for the Xuanjia Army to retreat in defeat.
Even if it means death, these enemies must be destroyed.
Kong Lingyue glanced at Liu Li and scolded: "We are far away from the camp. Now we are at the border of Peixian County, close to Ma Qi's army. Now we are entangled. Once the army surrounds us, can you fight out?" Can you take responsibility?"
"When fighting a war, don't be stubborn."
"The enemy is strong, so let's avoid its sharp edge first, while the enemy advances and we retreat. Once we have retreated a certain distance, allowing the opponent to penetrate deep into the hinterland, and the army has dispersed and there is no current offensive, we will fight back."
"It is more appropriate to fight back than to attack head-on."
Kong Lingyue said forcefully: "I am the main general in this battle, and you will listen to me in everything."
Liu Li thought about it carefully, and it was right!
Kong Lingyue's words make sense.
Now a reckless frontal attack will only lead to a dead end. Only by withdrawing the troops now, avoiding their sharp edges and avoiding being surrounded by the opponent's army, can there be a chance to counterattack.
Liu Li ordered the withdrawal of troops and retreated with Ren Ren and Kong Lingyue.
The army retreated, and Ma Liang and Pengshan reunited and began to pursue them.
Ma Liang sent Jiang Chao to harass, and some sentries kept an eye on the situation. When they learned that Jiang Chao had been killed, they decisively came to help. Now if you meet the person who killed Jiang Chao, you will naturally not let him go.
If you want to run, it's impossible.
As long as it's someone he wants to kill, let alone a human, even a dog can't escape.
"Kill!"
Ma Liang shouted loudly.
Ma Liang led four thousand cavalry, plus hundreds of people from Pengshan, and began to cover up the massacre on a large scale.
As Kong Lingyue retreated, she observed the situation at the rear. Seeing the pursuers from behind, a smile appeared on her face.
Don’t be afraid of being chased!
I'm afraid these people will withdraw.
As long as these people chase, the large-scale cavalry will disperse, and the cavalry in the army will distance themselves from each other, and then she will have a chance to counterattack.
Kong Lingyue ordered an accelerated retreat, but Ma Liang and his men pursued fiercely, escaping and chasing each other. The distance actually got closer and closer, but they never caught up.
After running for less than half an hour, Kong Lingyue led his men to retreat to an open area and looked back at the chasing enemy.
The cavalry under Ma Liang's command had turned into a long, winding dragon.
It is no longer a large-scale surge.
When Kong Lingyue had just chased Jiang Chao's cavalry to the border, Ma Liang's cavalry swarmed up and attacked like a tide. Once the Xuanjia Army was overwhelmed, even though the Xuanjia Army was brave and invincible, they could not charge back and forth, and the Xuanjia Army would also Can't stand the crowd.
The cavalry must be active and must rush back and forth to exert their combat effectiveness.
If you lose mobility, you will be hunted.
By now, Ma Liang's people had been on the road continuously, and many soldiers could not keep up and fell behind, and the team's appearance changed.
Kong Lingyue said loudly: "Liu Li, the opportunity for us to counterattack has come. Now, we each lead a team of troops to fight back and kill first. Once a large number of the opponent's cavalry catch up, we will attack from two sides. Move sideways and retreat. Once you've gained some distance, go back and kill."
"clear!"
Liu Li also answered loudly.
In his heart, he agreed with Kong Lingyue's decision.
This is indeed superior.
If he followed his idea and went back directly, it would be very easy to fall into the military formation.
The Xuanjia Army is invincible. On the one hand, the Xuanjia Army is inherently brave and equipped with elite equipment. On the other hand, the Xuanjia Army was personally led by the emperor and Zhou Huhou personally led the army.
This is the most fundamental thing.
Whether an army is strong or not depends on its general. Once the main general is gone, the army will gradually lose its edge and combat effectiveness.
Liu Li and Kong Lingyue led their troops to charge respectively.
Kong Lingyue had already subdued all the Xuanjia Army soldiers because of her cover-up. She took the lead in charging, and the Xuanjia Army followed suit with great speed.
Fang Tian's painted halberd in Kong Lingyue's hands was the blade that harvested lives. Wherever the halberd blade passed, the cavalrymen under Ma Liang were killed one after another, and they were directly killed.
Ma Liang is brave, but also cautious.
Seeing Kong Lingyue's ferocity, she secretly thought that no wonder this cavalry could kill Jiang Chao and defeat Jiang Chao's cavalry.
Ma Liang did not attack in person.
Even though he was not afraid, he did not attack Kong Lingyue. Instead, he dispatched a large number of soldiers to block the attack in order to consume Kong Lingyue's combat effectiveness. After Kong Lingyue was consumed one after another, he naturally lost his fighting spirit.
After Kong Lingyue charged in one after another, he found that more and more Ma Liang cavalry were coming to kill them. When they started to encircle them, Kong Lingyue immediately made a decision and ordered: "Break through the encirclement and continue to retreat."
She turned the direction of her war horse and quickly evacuated with her men.
When Ma Liang saw it, he immediately realized that these people wanted to run away again.
No way!
Ma Liang said loudly: "Chase, catch up with me, be sure to kill them, be sure to kill everyone, and give Zhao Shan a decisive blow."
A large number of cavalry came up and entangled the Xuanjia Army who was preparing to evacuate.
Kong Lingyue and Liu Li had already adjusted their direction and retreated, but the Xuanjia Army cavalry who were fighting later were caught in the fight. For a while, they had no chance to escape and could only keep fighting.
In particular, Ma Liang attacked and entangled a large number of Xuanjia troops, making it impossible for the Xuanjia troops to evacuate.
Liu Li saw the scene behind him and said loudly: "General Kong, you retreat first, and I will go to support the entangled Xuanjia Army."
Kong Lingyue said loudly: "Retreat, we can't delay now."
"No, our Xuanjia Army will not give up on our own people."
Liu Li's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "Previously, when we chased Jiang Chao to the border, we were able to retreat calmly when the enemy came to kill us, and we were not entangled ourselves. Now, my soldiers are entangled and cannot give up."
"I, the Xuanjia Army, do not have this habit. Not now, nor in the future."
"If you are willing to follow me and kill you, let me kill you."
After saying that, Liu Li took the knife and killed him back.
A large number of Xuanjia troops also killed them back.
When Kong Lingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. This is the cohesion of the Xuanjia Army and the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia Army.
Don't give up?
Good!
A strong fighting spirit appeared in Kong Lingyue's eyes, and she said loudly: "Kill, kill back. Today, we will fight to the death and kill all these enemies."
Kong Lingyue is not afraid!
She is not afraid at all!
Her idea is very simple, that is to retreat first, lengthen the battle line, and then continue to counterattack along the way to weaken the pursuing enemies. In the end, he will accomplish his feats in one battle and defeat the enemy in one battle.
Now that Liu Li was fighting back for his own soldiers, she had no choice but to fight back directly.
As soon as Kong Lingyue gave the order to kill them, all the Xuanjia troops were even more energetic and happy in their hearts.
"Kill, kill all the enemies."
"My Xuanjia army is invincible, kill them back."
"Xuanjia Army, I am invincible."
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army roared loudly. Even though the number was small, the Xuanjia Army did not have any fear and charged forward without any fear.
This time the charge was no longer divided into two teams, but Ma Liang and Kong Lingyue charged together.
The momentum of the advance is overwhelming.
Especially Kong Lingyue's killing spree, Fang Tian's painted halberd turned into streaks of light, killing the soldiers in front, further demonstrating Kong Lingyue's strength. Kong Lingyue's continuous advance also led the Xuanjia Army to charge. The two sides complemented each other, making the Xuanjia Army invincible.
When Ma Liang saw this scene, there was a look of wonder in his eyes, and he was even more shocked.
how come?
Why are these people so powerful?
Ma Liang's eyes were solemn, and he frowned when he saw that many of the soldiers he had brought were killed and wounded and were constantly being scattered.
The battlefield is an unreasonable place.
Just rely on fists.
The bigger your fist is, the more powerful you are.
Now Kong Lingyue led the men to kill Wushuang. The soldiers under Ma Liang were unable to complete the encirclement because a large range of soldiers surrounded them and were immediately defeated by Kong Lingyue and killed directly.
The Xuanjia army was cutting and killing back and forth, and the cavalry who were killing them kept retreating.
Ma Liang's eyes gradually became stern.
The soldiers were outnumbered and had to rely on him.
In this battle, he had to personally come forward to turn the tide, and after Kong Lingyue's repeated fights, he had already lost his previous fighting power. Now he could kill Kong Lingyue.
Thinking of this, Ma Liang felt that I had the advantage.
Ma Liang held a knife and went up to kill him, shouting: "Ma Liang is coming from Pengcheng."
When Kong Lingyue was fighting, he saw Ma Liang coming to kill him, but he didn't pay attention at all. When he got closer, he struck sideways with a halberd.
A blow is like an antelope hanging its horns, unpredictable.
It is even more elusive.
Just as Ma Liang was about to raise his knife to block, the blade of the halberd had already struck Ma Liang's shoulder, breaking open the armor and cutting into the skin, leaving a half-foot-long wound along the shoulder.
Blood was flowing, and Ma Liang screamed hysterically. His face was hideous in pain, and he swung his knife to chop again.
His slash was blocked by Kong Lingyue.
Kong Lingyue struck Ma Liang with another halberd and cut Ma Liang's throat.
Ma Liang fell to the ground. Kong Lingyue stopped caring and shouted that Ma Liang had been killed while continuing to kill.
The news of Ma Liang's murder spread quickly.
Ma Liang's cavalry, which originally had a larger number but was constantly being killed, was frightened by the Xuanjia army. Now that Ma Liang is dead, these soldiers have completely collapsed and no longer have the fighting spirit to fight.
Countless people were killed one after another.
Countless people fled.
Kong Lingyue once again led the men to cover up the killing, and further defeated Ma Liang's cavalry.
This time the cover-up was still carried out all the way to the border of Peixian County. Kong Lingyue was worried that going deep into Pengcheng County would attract enemy troops, so she ordered the withdrawal.
The Xuanjia Army returned to the military camp. Kong Lingyue and Liu Li took stock and went to the camp to meet Zhao Shan.
Kong Lingyue said: "General Liu, come and report."
Liu Li briefly explained the continuous encounters and said quickly: "Reporting to your Majesty, this time we pursued a thousand people and killed more than 1,800 cavalry. In particular, General Kong killed Jiang Chao first and then Ma Liang. Decisive effect. We suffered two hundred and six casualties."
Zhao Shan praised: "The Xuanjia Army is very good. In the face of several times the enemy, it killed the enemy forcefully and defeated the enemy army, which showed the majesty of the Xuanjia Army. Each of their military exploits and battle losses were recorded in the book. To facilitate subsequent rewards and compensation.”
Liu Lidao: "General, I will obey your order!"
Zhao Shan waved his hand, and Liu Li bowed and retreated. Only Zhao Shan and Kong Lingyue were left in the tent. Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Lingyue, you did a good job."
Kong Lingyue said humbly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. They are all elite members of the Xuanjia Army."
Zhao Shan looked up and down and said with a smile: "You are covered in blood now, and you are tired from fighting. Take a shower. You are a great hero today, and I will help you take a bath. What do you think?"
