At noon on March 20, the pursuing Jin army finally caught the Jin army's rear guard. The impatient Yan Tao immediately ordered the front army to attack.
Ten chariots were in the vanguard, and the four hundred soldiers at the rear were killing each other with great force.
Bi Feng, the company commander of the Jin Army, pointed his sword downwards, his lips closed, and his eyes solemnly staring ahead.
Yan Tao secretly felt that something was not good, and Lin Zhiming beside him also felt that something was wrong.
As expected, the Jin army's rear troops either retreated in panic or fought desperately.
No matter which one it was, Yan Tao and Lin Zhiming were confident that they could defeat or even annihilate it in a very short period of time. Then the army would drown the enemy like a flood with the power of victory.
But standing on the chariot, it was clear that the Jin army in front of them did not follow the script at all. They just stood there and dispersed into a small piece.
The chariot pulled by two horses was moving very fast, and the dust raised had begun to affect the view behind it. The rumbling sound in the ears was still clear but it had lost its former sweetness.
The drivers and commanders in the Jin army were so excited that they almost stuck out their tongues.
They opened their mouths wide and kept shouting to boost morale. The enemy on the opposite side looked as if they were scared to death. Military achievements were easily obtained.
Bi Feng could not help but smile as he saw the enemy chariot pass several marking stones that had been placed on the roadside in advance.
The long face was raised, but the Jin army did not charge, but began to retreat back in an orderly manner.
Yan Tao and Lin Zhiming were shocked: No, it is indeed a scam!
But there was some hesitation in my heart. The other party only had a rear army of more than a hundred people. If they retreated like this, it would obviously have a certain impact on the morale of the army.
The soldiers did not have that awareness. In their understanding, it was obvious that their own army had an absolute advantage, and the enemy had even begun to flee without a fight.
The whole military formation was full of people who were eager to try. Military merit was not easy to obtain, but they all wanted it. The envy in the eyes of many soldiers was revealed without concealment.
At this moment, the morale of the soldiers at the vanguard of the Golden Army rose to the extreme. Beating a drowned dog was a pleasure, and the army's word "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" was vividly interpreted.
The ten chariots began to break away from the infantry. The long bows in the hands of the chariot soldiers were filled with arrows, and they shot out high-attention signals like meteors in front of them.
The deafening shouts of killing went straight into the sky, and the Jinbing vanguard soldiers who were full of morale all showed the courage to fight one against ten.
Only a few officers in the entire Jin army had their hearts in their throats.
Soldiers are a matter of life and death. The great affairs of the country are also true and false. They must be guarded against and cannot be ignored.
An officer couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "General, the Jin army is strange and may be deceitful. How about temporarily withdrawing the troops and waiting for the general to investigate clearly before pursuing them?"
Yan Tao thinks it makes sense.
It's just that the pig teammates are obviously unwilling to give this reasonable idea a little time to brew and grow.
The saying is that people stumble and horses stumble.
Just as the officer finished his admonishment and Yan Tao started to think, the voice at the front of the battlefield suddenly dropped several notches, and a larger cloud of dust was raised, completely blocking the sight of Yan Tao and others.
But there were vague screams and the neighing of war horses coming to my ears.
All ten chariots were damaged, with broken frames flying everywhere. Yan Tao himself saw a wheel flying up and smashing into the infantry formation behind, knocking down several people.
The sudden change had not yet allowed the soldiers of the Chinese army to recover, but the forwards were indeed woken up instantly. At this time, even a fool knew that the Jin army had to be prepared and ready to receive a big gift.
The Jin Army forward suddenly fell into chaos, almost all the chariots and soldiers were lost, and a large area in front of them was dug in a mess. If you stop and look carefully, you can still find many traces of cover-up.
The infantrymen stopped charging unconsciously, and their morale was shaken.
Taking advantage of the gap in time, while the junior officers of the Jin Army were still struggling to reorganize the military formation, Bi Feng had already led his men and horses to quickly retreat towards the small woods not far away, without even a trace of nostalgia.
With a wave of his hand, only a mess was left.
Yan Tao was heartbroken on the chariot.
It wasn't the ten chariots and dozens of chariots that made him feel distressed.
Instead, he was defeated twice by Guan Chengxiao'er in just a few days. Such a defeat would be a big blow to his reputation. Although the Kingdom of Jin was not big, it was only a fifth-class vassal state, unlike those in the north. Zhou Wei was not even a fraction of the Chu State to the south, but Yan Tao was not the only one who was willing to serve the Lord of the Jin Kingdom as a lonely minister, and he was not the only nephew of the Lord of the Jin Kingdom.
"Instruct the front army to quickly reorganize the army and pursue it, and must not give the enemy a break. The left and right companies will go to support, and the other companies will press forward with the central army!"
Yan Tao issued military orders very quickly, and he came up with countermeasures after just a little thought. His many years of battlefield experience gave him enough courage at this moment.
Lin Zhiming next to this point can be said to be extremely admired. Some things cannot be changed even if he works hard, such as mysterious skills like talent.
Yan Tao concluded that the Jin army's rearguard was quite far away from his own army and that there was no nearby force to support it.
A general's judgment is definitely a must-have skill among the best.
After a brief panic, Jin Jun quickly recovered under the pressure of the officers.
The orange flag of the Chinese army nodded rapidly up and down three times in front of the front, and then the yellow and green flags waved and swayed.
The front army and the company commanders of the generals on the left and right hurriedly waved towards the central army to indicate that they had received the order.
Then the soldiers from the front army quickly chased forward, and the auxiliary soldiers and civilians were responsible for the potholes on the ground.
The Jin Army quickly regained its unruly appearance. The former company commander now stared at his passing subordinates with an unkind expression on the roadside. From time to time, he stretched out his feet to kick over a soldier who seemed to be lazy, and then loudly urged him to move forward.
Bi Feng and others did not go far at all. The speed of the Jin army's pursuit, when and where they would arrive were all carefully considered by Guan Cheng, Wang Ye and others. Guan Cheng even specially found a guide who was familiar with the local area to follow the instructions. The terrain is almost the same.
Wang Ye and others were shocked and called for a great trick.
Bi Feng and others not only prepared a large trap, but in fact if the Jin soldiers' vanguard hadn't rushed too fast, they wouldn't have had to retreat so early, and they would have had a chance to make a backhand.
Bi Feng believes that the chance of success is still quite high.
The Jin Bing who rushed over soon appeared in the sight of Bi Feng and others again.
Looking at the head delivered to his door, Bi Feng felt that this was probably the thing he was most looking forward to in his life so far.
Among the soldiers from the entire first brigade of Zhili County, or in other words, all the soldiers from Guan Cheng, they are taught one word every day: Go!
It can be summed up in two words: military merit.
Who is the hunter and who is the prey? Both sides have different answers, so they can only persuade.
Finally, a Jin soldier's right foot stepped on a fallen leaf in the forest. Both the Jin soldiers and the Jin soldiers couldn't help but sweat.
Bifeng's eyes were always looking at a certain place, always ready.
Bi Feng's mission was to hold off the pursuers as much as possible. Originally, Guan Cheng was a relatively casual and temporary candidate, but he did not expect that instead, he would become Bi Feng's reputation as a lunatic.
With heavy and cautious breathing from both sides, the Jin Army forwards squirmed and finally arrived at the feast place carefully prepared by Bifeng.
