Chapter 364
The Jingguo Cavalry wanted to run away, but Chen Qingzhi couldn't let them do so.
"Divide the troops, 10,000 people each, and chase them."
When the cavalry fled, they lost their direction, so Chen Qingzhi could only divide his troops to chase them.
Fortunately, the White Robe Army was extremely powerful, far from being comparable to the Jingguo Cavalry. After the division, the Jingguo Cavalry became even more panicked and difficult to resist.
Without wasting too much time, this Jingguo Cavalry was completely destroyed.
The commander of the Jingguo Cavalry was also a general. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he fought hard to break through, but was shot and killed by Chen Qingzhi himself.
"General, the enemy's infantry is surrounding us."
The infantry is slow to begin with, and hundreds of thousands of troops are acting at the same time, so there are many places that need to be coordinated, so the action is naturally slower.
Tens of thousands of Jingguo Cavalry had already died before the Jingguo Infantry arrived at the battlefield.
"Order the army to gather and attack the enemy."
The soldiers of Jingguo were in a hurry, and many defensive measures were not yet deployed. Chen Qingzhi wanted to seize this opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
As expected by Chen Qingzhi, the combat effectiveness of the infantry on the march and the infantry on the alert was completely different.
The White Robe Army still seemed to be at ease in the face of enemies that were several times larger than themselves, and launched a large-scale massacre against the Jingguo Army.
Soon, the commander of the Jingguo Army realized that something was wrong and ordered the army to gather together. For this, he even abandoned 100,000 troops and used their lives to delay the attack of the White Robe Army.
When the Jingguo Army was ready, they found that in a short period of time, Jingguo had lost nearly 200,000 troops here. It can be seen that the White Robe Army was strong and moved quickly.
"Withdraw the troops and continue to advance to the rear of the enemy."
Chen Qingzhi did not attack the enemy. When he had the initiative, there was no need to waste time and life.
The white-robed army left, leaving behind the Yasukuni army, which was in tears but had no idea what to do.
If they chased, it would be impossible to catch up, and they would be easily ambushed, resulting in greater losses.
If they did not chase, and allowed the enemy to advance into the hinterland of the rear, the losses of Yasukuni would be even more unbearable.
Soon, Ueno got the news.
"The enemy wants to sneak attack the rear, which puts psychological pressure on us. We cannot let the enemy lead us by the nose."
"Order the army to prepare immediately. We will take the initiative to attack, attract this cavalry, and send people to set up an ambush behind our army. Once the enemy cavalry appears, kill them for me."
Ueno has understood the Zhenbei Army's plan.
Ueno could not chase the cavalry. Now the only way Ueno could think of was to take the initiative to attack the opposite Zhenbei Army, put enough pressure on the Zhenbei Army, force this cavalry to come to support, and then set up an ambush to kill this cavalry.
The idea was fine, but Ueno did not consider the strength of both sides. Maybe Ueno did, but he thought that since his side was twice as strong as the Zhenbei Army, there should be no accidents.
On that day, Jingguo launched an offensive. Ueno did not dare to wait any longer. The destructive power of 100,000 cavalry was too strong. Every day he delayed, Jingguo would lose countless people, which was hard for him to accept.
"Sir, the enemy is attacking."
After Chen Qingzhi left, the Zhenbei Army here was handed over to Su Dingfang, Chang Yuchun and others.
"Generals, the purpose of this battle is to hold the enemy firmly, and there is no rush."
"You all go back and command the army to defend immediately, and give full play to the power of our army's long-range weapons. As long as you buy time for General Chen, the Jingguo Army is not a concern."
Jia Xu mainly did not want the Zhenbei Army to suffer too much loss, and was unwilling to fight directly with Jingguo.
With this method, the loss of the Zhenbei Army can be minimized, and the effect of the attack on Jingguo will not be affected.
The war began, one side was urgent, the other side was steady, and the two sides began a life-and-death fight.
At this time, the advantages of the Zhenbei Army were reflected.
All the soldiers were at the level of third-grade warriors, and arrows were in unlimited supply. Almost all soldiers had sufficient arrows to use. With the blessing of personal force, they caused great damage to the Jingguo Army.
After a whole day of attack, the Jingguo Army left countless corpses and could not even reach the front of the Zhenbei Army.
Under the rain of arrows, it was useless to rush up. Even if there were masters in the army who wanted to destroy the Zhenbei Army's arrow formation, it was useless. The Zhenbei Army did not lack masters to deal with it.
As night fell, Jingguo still did not stop attacking, as if he wanted to use the night to weaken the power of the Zhenbei Army's arrow formation.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
As long as Jingguo launched an offensive, arrows would continue to shoot, and even without aiming, they could cause great damage to Jingguo.
Helplessly, Ueno issued an order to stop the attack.
"General, this battle was so frustrating. We couldn't even charge forward. I don't know where these bastards got so many arrows."
These arrows are not made of ordinary iron ore, but of rare black iron ore. Otherwise, they would have no effect on these warriors.It has such a strong killing power.
Black iron, even in the Liyang Dynasty, is an absolutely rare resource. How can it be used in war like this? It's too wasteful.
"It seems that the Xia Kingdom has used up its resources. This time, it will fight us to the end even if it consumes."
"However, no matter how much the enemy reserves, they will run out one day. Tomorrow, order the army to continue the attack. As long as the enemy's supplies are consumed, our army will win this battle."
Although he couldn't figure out the actual situation, Ueno also knew that the morale of the army could not be affected by this matter. He must persist at this time.
"Report, General, there is an urgent military report."
A messenger ran in and handed Ueno a piece of intelligence.
Ueno looked gloomy after reading it, which was obviously not good news.
Seeing that Ueno was about to be furious, the generals did not dare to ask more.
After a while, Ueno calmed down and told everyone what happened.
It turned out that when they were attacking the Zhenbei Army, Chen Qingzhi was not idle either. After rushing to the hinterland of Jingguo, Chen Qingzhi attacked every city and killed every person he saw.
In less than a day, Chen Qingzhi broke through three cities in a row, and the military and civilians of Jingguo suffered countless losses, far more than the number of people killed in the battle in the front.
Especially ordinary people, who had no ability to resist the killing of the white robe army.
"Asshole, Xiaguo is too much, actually attacking ordinary people."
Someone was furious.
No one responded to this person's words.
Is it too much? Hasn't their Jingguo always done this? Not to mention others, just the person in front of him, haven't he killed enough innocent Xiaguo people?
"General, should we send troops to rescue them?"
The man obviously realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject.
"It's useless. Our top priority is to defeat the Zhenbei Army on the opposite side."
Ueno didn't want to save them, but he was powerless. How could the infantry chase the cavalry with their legs? Even if they caught up, they would just be sending their heads for nothing.
At the moment, the only way to resolve the crisis and avenge the tragic deaths of the people was to defeat the Zhenbei Army on the opposite side.
