A large number of Jin Army cavalry rushed forward with indomitable momentum.
The strong momentum had already made Zhao Yucheng's soldiers tremble with fear in their hearts.
Zhao Yucheng was shocked and reacted in time, realizing that the army must not be in chaos or retreat.
Once a retreat is ordered, with the current military morale, the military formation will inevitably collapse and everyone will scramble to escape.
At this distance, if you want to escape now, you can't run back at all. You will definitely be intercepted by the Jin Army cavalry on the way back to the military camp. In this case, if there is no military formation, it will really be over.
Now Zhao Yucheng could no longer care about Zhao Kaihe in front of him. He could no longer protect himself.
He immediately beat the drums and ordered to stabilize the army, and ordered to reward the soldiers with money to boost the morale of the army. He finally allowed the army to stabilize its formation under the charge of the Jin Army's cavalry, and then hurriedly changed from the forward formation to the four-sided protection formation. .
This will take some time.
So Zhao Yucheng ordered the crossbowmen in the formation to fire arrows in all directions outside the formation to buy time for the transformation of the military formation and to deter the cavalry.
Wugu Lunjige initially saw that Zhao Yucheng's army was not in chaos, maintaining the army's formation, and launching arrows outwards to attack, so he did not rush forward.
He ordered the cavalry soldiers to divide into two groups and start circling around Zhao Yucheng's military formation. He felt the attack strength of the crossbowmen in the formation and felt that the strength was acceptable, so he asked the cavalry to approach the military formation and fire arrows while circling. .
The crossbowmen in the military formation kept shooting outwards, but facing the moving Jin Army cavalry, the hit rate was actually not very high.
Since the military formation could not move, arrows from the Jin Army continued to fly from all angles. The soldiers in the military formation were attacked, and the process of formation transformation was blocked, causing a certain degree of chaos.
Good guy, Ugu Lunjige caught the flaw.
Wugu Lunjige saw the flaw at a glance, felt happy in his heart, and fired a loud arrow into the sky. Some of the Jin army's cavalry still circled the formation, while the other part of the cavalry changed their attacking pattern of circles and immediately began a very decisive attack.
Zhao Yucheng was shocked when he saw the Jin Army's cavalry rushing towards the weak point of the military formation. He realized that if the Jin Army rushed in, the entire military formation would collapse instantly and everyone would die here.
Therefore, Zhao Yucheng made a decisive decision and immediately ordered his personal guards to attack.
Zhao Yucheng's personal bodyguards totaled fifty cavalry, which were specially equipped for him by Zhao Kaishan.
The soldiers are veterans at the elite nursing level. They are fully armed and well-armored. They can fight on horseback and on foot. This is the foundation of the Zhao family trained by Zhao Kaishan.
There were a hundred people in total, and Zhao Kaishan divided them among Zhao Yucheng. The only purpose was to protect Zhao Yucheng from escaping when he faced difficulties.
Zhao Kaishan said that he treated his subordinates fairly and justly, but in fact, he cared more about his son and cared about Zhao Yucheng very much. He personally sent all the soldiers around him.
It's not that he doesn't have other sons, but the other sons are still young, and only Zhao Yucheng can follow him to the battlefield.
He regards Zhao Yucheng as his successor. If he can create a foundation, then Zhao Yucheng will be his well-deserved successor.
In order to train him, Zhao Kaishan was willing to let him go out to fight.
In order to protect him, Zhao Kaishan also wanted to give him part of his own bodyguards, and could not accept the outcome of him dying on the battlefield.
So Zhao Yucheng's personal guards immediately pushed forward, and at the critical moment they had a violent collision with the Jin Army's formation-breaking cavalry. The two sides fought swords against swords and guns against guns and horses against horses, and a very fierce hand-to-hand battle began in front of the military formation. .
The Jin army had more cavalry and Zhao Yucheng's cavalry had fewer cavalry. They were evenly matched at the beginning, but soon fell into decline and were unable to support the cavalry. The cavalry around them began to show signs of disintegration and could not provide sufficient support.
Zhao Yucheng was in a tough fight.
But this is not the biggest crisis.
The biggest crisis was that Zhao Kaihe's troops saw the cavalry fighting unfavorably and fell into decline. They also found that their retreat was being seriously threatened by the Jin Army's cavalry, and they fell into violent vacillation.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Zhao Kaihe himself fell into great panic.
He found that he had misjudged the number and combat effectiveness of the Jin Army's cavalry, so that when the Jin Army's cavalry came out in full force, he could not stop them at all, and could only watch as the other party roared away to cut off his retreat.
If the escape route is cut off, even if he wins here, he will still die.
He could only hope that Zhao Yucheng's rear army could withstand this attack and repel the Jin Army's cavalry.
At this time, he was really lucky that Zhao Yucheng, a "nosy" good boy, led an army to follow him.
But that doesn't make him any less dangerous.
Because at the critical moment, Zhao Kaihe's cavalry was defeated.
The Jin Army's cavalry defeated Zhao Kaihe's cavalry with more skilled cavalry tactics and horseback fighting skills, causing them to fall into a decline and be scattered and routed.
The cavalrymen lost their will to fight and began to retreat. They galloped away desperately, and even heavy rewards could not save them.
Indeed, although a large reward is good, you still have to spend it with your life. If your life is gone, what's the point of having more money?
So the cavalrymen fled desperately, and even the originally stable infantry formation was shaken, and the fighting soldiers were shaken.
Soldiers on the battlefield are highly nervous, and any guiding action will induce a huge chain reaction. Once the general fails to respond in time, the collapse of the military formation will be irreversible.
The retreat of the Liberation Army cavalry was regarded by the soldiers as the beginning of failure, so the military formation began to shake violently, and there were soldiers who had a mental breakdown and turned around and ran back.
From the moment the first soldier who turned around and ran back appeared, the disintegration of the entire army formation was unstoppable, and the disintegration happened very fast. It spread from ten to ten, and a large number of soldiers turned around and ran away with strange screams.
Even before Zhao Kaihe could react, the frontline combat troops had completely collapsed, and the Liberation Army was defeated like a mountain.
Seeing this, Shuhu Siji was overjoyed and immediately ordered the drums to be beaten to encourage the soldiers to move forward steadily and pursue the Liberation Army to expand the results.
In a face-to-face battle, the courage of the Jurchen soldiers and the signature soldiers is limited, and they need to use money to stimulate them, while chasing the defeated opponents...
It's so simple.
Who doesn’t know how to fight against the wind?
Everyone is willing to fight against the odds.
So the Jin army turned to a full-scale attack.
The cavalry roared in, killing the soldiers of the Liberation Army indiscriminately. When they caught up, they used their swords with smooth movements, like chopping melons and vegetables. They could easily cut off a head, leaving only headless bodies everywhere. corpse.
The corpses were sprayed with blood, which dyed the ground a strange color and exuded a strong fishy smell. It constantly stimulated the Jin Army soldiers to secrete a large amount of adrenaline, making them chase more and more fiercely, and kill more and more.
On the Liberation Army side, apart from the shrill screams, there were only broken troops running around everywhere.
As for Zhao Kaihe, he was escorted by his own soldiers and took the lead in escaping when the army collapsed and was destined to be defeated.
Just kidding, if the army is in chaos and it’s hard for the gods to save it, why won’t the general take the lead in escaping?
With the advantages of riding a horse and wearing armor, as long as he runs fast, the general will generally not have any big problems.
It's hard to say for the soldiers below, the chance of survival depends on metaphysics.
When Zhao Kaihe's army formation completely collapsed, Zhao Yucheng still persisted in fighting.
Although his subordinates saw that the battle had failed and told him to retreat quickly, Zhao Yucheng gritted his teeth and insisted on not retreating. He must fight to the death with the Jin Army, and he was even ready to fight the Jin Army in person.
As the son of the leader of the Liberation Army, he had a full sense of honor and shame. He would never do such a thing as running away in defeat. Even if he couldn't win, he would rather die fighting than running away.
What's more, it's not necessarily a failure now. As long as you persist, maybe...
As a result, news of Zhao Kaihe's complete failure came from the front.
Zhao Yucheng was stunned, and his heart instantly shattered and sank to the bottom, just like a stone falling into a manure pit, failing to make any waves.
Then the remaining guards who couldn't fight off the Jin soldiers quickly protected Zhao Yucheng and retreated, galloping their horses, abandoning all the other soldiers, and galloped all the way towards the camp.
