Liu Yu should have discovered the intentions of this group of Jin troops at this time, and the right wing of these Jin troops began to retreat quickly and orderly.
At this time, the defeat of the Jin army in Qingzhou has been determined. Although the right wing of the Jin army has not been affected by the defeat, the hearts of all the officers and soldiers are already in a very nervous state.
If Sima Ji, the commander-in-chief of the right-wing Jin army, had not been courageous and courageous, he would risk his life and lead his guards to cut off the right-wing Jin army's rear.
Then, these Jin army's right-wing officers and soldiers, who are already extremely nervous, will definitely turn a retreat into a self-trampling collapse.
Liu Yu saw the Jin general in charge of breaking up the rear, wearing a pair of gorgeous two-tier armor, with the polished armor plates sparkling. Even though dark clouds were now rising, this gorgeous armor still seemed to be showing off. His eyes were flashing.
Liu Yu looked around and saw that the Donglai Army soldiers gathered around him were all staring at the retreating Jin troops with angry eyes.
However, because the Dongnae Army was on the verge of despair just now, many soldiers were crowded on the pontoon bridge. The pedals of the pontoon bridge were stepped off in two places, greatly damaging the traffic on the pontoon bridge.
For a while, it was difficult for Liu Yu at the West Bank Ferry to get follow-up supplements.
In the fierce battle just now, the Donglai Army guarding the ferry suffered nearly half casualties. Almost every living Donglai Army soldier had brothers, relatives and friends who were killed or injured in the bloody battle just now.
Now that the defeat of the Jin Army in Qingzhou has been determined, these Donglai Army soldiers want to take advantage of the victory to pursue revenge. However, they only have more than a thousand soldiers left to continue fighting, and more than 10,000 people on the right wing of the Jin Army still maintain their formation. Retreat in sequence.
Liu Yu felt that all the Donglai soldiers around him were looking at him. He knew that most of these thousand people had almost exhausted their physical strength in the fierce battle just now. If he took the risk of attacking these retreating troops on the right wing of the Jin army, they would probably be killed. Counterattack.
However, Liu Yu felt that he should do something.
"Those who can still hold up swords and guns, come with me."
Liu Yu walked out of the formation and raised his right arm high, shouting loudly to these Donglai soldiers.
"You are truly a strong man." Liu Yu loudly praised the soldiers who responded to him.
Soon, all the Donglai soldiers shouted excitedly that they could continue to fight.
Under Liu Yu's command, a rectangular formation was formed, with the best soldiers in the front row holding long carbines as the first barrier against the Jin army's counterattack.
The length of the long carbine is more than two feet, and it is mostly used for cavalry to seize and attack at high speed, or for infantry to form formations to defend against cavalry. The whole weapon is very strong and heavy, and it cannot be held for a long time unless it is strong and durable.
Nowadays, the Dongnai Army soldiers have just fought hard for a long time and have not fully recovered their physical strength. There must not be many who can use them, and they only form two thin lines.
Soon, the hastily assembled Donglai army, led by Liu Yu, rushed towards the retreating Jin army at the fastest speed that could barely maintain their formation.
In order to maintain the orderliness of the retreat and avoid the spread of fear and panic, the Jin army on the right must not let the soldiers run wildly.
So it won't take long for them to be overtaken by the Donglai Army that has gone crazy.
"How dare you, thief!"
Jin Fenwei General Sima Ji shouted angrily, these small band of thieves who had escaped just now went crazy and dared to pursue him.
You must know that your retreat is in an orderly manner. Although you are retreating, your formation is still tight and your organization is complete. You can defend in place or attack any pursuer at any time.
Sima Ji thought: We must use the shortest possible time to wipe out this group of thieves who dare to pursue them. There is no need to chase them all, just disperse them and drive them away. After all, the majority of the rebels in the north are chasing the defeated troops southward. If they struggle with this small group of enemy troops for too long, they will most likely be bitten by the rebels in the north.
Therefore, Sima Ji immediately mobilized two thousand men from the rear army and began to turn around and form an array to meet Liu Yu's pursuing troops.
Sima Ji personally commanded nearly a hundred cavalry. When this small group of thieves was entangled in front, he planned to launch a thunderous strike from the side and rear to eliminate these arrogant thieves as quickly as possible.
In this confrontation, the Donglai Army wanted to quickly bite the retreating Jin Army, while the Jin Army who was behind wanted to quickly deal with these hateful thieves.
So there was no temptation, no arrow rain, and the two armies that had just been fighting each other in a bloody battle just collided with each other again.
Liu Yu was violently impacting, dodging the tip of a spear that shone with cold light, and hit the target with the long spear in his hand, piercing a bloody hole in the throat of a soldier on the opposite side.
He quickly retracted it and thrust it out again. This time the sharp and heavy tip pierced another Jin soldier's sleeve armor, but the dense armor deformed and stuck the tip. Liu Yu tried hard to pull it out twice but still could not pull it out. .
Liu Yu had no choice but to give up his long sword and drew a ring-headed sword from the guard behind him.
He continued to chop fiercely, but the armor of the broken Jin army was obviously very sophisticated, with arm armor and neck armor well protected. The effect of the sword's slashing was not as good as the spear's stab.
But Liu Yu relied on his natural power and turned a heavy ring-headed sword into a swing like an iron whip. In the blink of an eye, three Jin soldiers were knocked to the ground.
"Click"
With a crisp snap, the Huanshou sword in Liu Yu's hand broke into two pieces after hitting the helmet of a Jin soldier. The Jin soldier's neck tilted and his body fell limp.
At this moment, Liu Yu heard the rumble of horse hoofs coming from the side and rear of the Donglai Army, and then there was the sound of people turning on their backs.
Liu Yu turned around and saw that it was the Jin general in Mingguang armor who was leading the cavalry after attacking the side of the Donglai army. Although the Donglai army was well prepared, there were still many casualties.
The Jin general had just slashed down a Donglai soldier who was attacking him with his sword, and wanted to turn away from the fight with the infantry.
When Liu Yu saw the Donglai soldiers falling one by one, he felt that his whole heart was bleeding. These are good soldiers who dare to fight and charge. They are the guarantee for Liu Yu's survival in the future.
At this time, he saw another Donglai soldier holding a knife and entangled the general. Liu Yu hurriedly threw away the half-cut knife in his hand and took out his own hard bow from the accompanying guard.
He quickly picked up the arrow and opened his bow, staring at the Jin general thirty steps away, taking aim.
Following Liu Yu's loud shout, a string sounded, and arrows flew out like lightning.
"middle!"
The feathered arrow flew quickly through the crowd, and suddenly hit the Jin general who was riding a horse. The feathered arrow hit his unprotected face.
The general was shot into the back of the head by an arrow and died without even a struggle. His body was knocked off his horse by the huge inertia.
"I hit it, I hit it!"
The guards around Liu Yu shouted excitedly.
Although he didn't know who the Jin general he shot was, Liu Yu guessed that it must be a big general, because after he was shot to death and fell off his horse, his guards kept trying to attack again and snatch his body back.
But after the Jin army general fell to death, he was snatched into the formation by Donglai soldiers. They also knew that this enemy general wearing silver-line armor was a fat man.
Soon, the Donglai Army soldiers learned the identity of the enemy general from another Jin Army soldier whose leg was broken.
The enemy general Liu Yu shot to death with an arrow was none other than Sima Ji, the right-wing general of the Jin army, Marquis of Yue Shou and General Fenwei.
"Sima Ji's head is here, whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
"Sima Ji's head is here, whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
It didn't take long before the loud shouts of the Donglai soldiers and the head of Sima Ji on the long horse rifle completely shattered the Jin army's will to fight.
The cavalry guard of Fenwei General Sima Ji took the lead in abandoning the Jin infantry and ran southward. Seeing this, the Jin infantry instantly collapsed.
In order to quickly get rid of the chasing Donglai soldiers, these fleeing Jin infantry threw away their armor, shields and weapons to reduce their burden and speed up their escape.
News of the general's death and the defeat of the rear army soon spread to the front, and the right wing of the Jin army, which had been able to maintain discipline, also collapsed.
When they saw the lightly dressed rear army soldiers running almost naked in front of them, most of the soldiers also took off their armor and other encumbrances, and started their great escape together.
In such a hot summer in May, it was impossible for the armored soldiers of the Donglai Army to catch up with the shirtless soldiers fleeing for their lives, unless they had cavalry.
After Liu Yu led his Donglai army to pursue for a mile, he was forced to stop the pursuit.
