1672. Battle by the River
Let’s talk about Jingzhaofu Road.
After Yuan general Gu Lieer led his iron cavalry out of the city, he followed the official road to chase the Tianjian Army.
Because Monto led the Tianjian Army and was not in a hurry to return to Weinan County, the marching speed was quite slow, so he was caught up by Gu Lie's army near the evening.
At this time, the Tianjian Army was moving along the bank of the Weishui River.
The terrain here is quite empty.
The winding official road is like a giant dragon crawling on the bank of the Weishui River.
Gu Lieer came for the request for battle, and led his cavalry to chase directly to the rear of the Tianjian Army, which was not prepared, and then he continued to attack the Tianjian Army.
Behind the Tianjian Army were the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment of the Army. It was not until Gu Lieer's Iron Cavalry was only one mile away from them that they noticed the movement of the Iron Cavalry.
It's more than a mile away, and the distance is quite embarrassing. Whether it's close or not, it's definitely not far.
Especially when Gu Lieer is under his command, there is no time to do anything for a mile.
After learning the news, the governor of the Eighth Regiment hurriedly asked someone to report to Monto, and he directly led the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment to turn around and set up a battle on the spot.
The road surface is empty and there are no obstacles to rely on. This is naturally not a good thing when fighting cavalry.
But at this moment there is nothing to do.
The soldiers of the Eighth Regiment had just arrived on the ground and the soldiers were still carrying pills, so Gu Lie's iron cavalry had already reached the sight.
The soldiers of both sides shot at each other when they were more than a hundred meters apart.
Although Gu Lieer's iron cavalry was quite scattered, they came in a fierce manner. They shouted and kept raising their guns to shoot at the Tianjian Army soldiers crawling on the ground.
Several generals of the Eighth Regiment looked at the Yuan army behind, and they all looked anxious.
Under such circumstances, they are afraid they can't stop the Harmonious Cavalry for how long.
As long as this cavalry rushed into the army, the destructiveness it could cause would inevitably be quite amazing. With so many cavalry, just charging can make the soldiers drink a pot.
They had to bite the bullet and continue to block here.
The Yuan army who were constantly shot fell from the horse, but they still approached the position of the Eighth Regiment of the Tianjian Army at an extremely fast speed.
Becoming closer, the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment threw thunder into the front.
The Yuan army also suspected the color.
It was soon in chaos.
The sound of gunfire was dense at a rather astonishing speed.
In just less than a quarter of an hour, the pressure faced by the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment was already huge.
They are almost unable to stop it.
At this moment, Monto naturally saw the scout of the Eighth Regiment in front of him. Moreover, he also heard the sound of gunfire behind him.
The Yuan army actually dared to take the initiative to break out of the city, which was indeed beyond his expectations, and it angered him without any surprise.
Since the emperor recovered all the lost territory of the Song Dynasty, when was it the Yuan army's turn to act as a mighty man and the soldiers?
"The whole army obeys the order!"
Monto pulled out the sword on his waist and shouted: "The rear army is the front army, and fight with the Yuan army on the spot! Damn it! Raise the grenade launcher for me!"
On such a river bank, there is a high slope on the other side, and there is no tactic to use. It is just a head-on way of playing.
Monto was originally a bit irritable. Although he didn't know how many people there were in the Yuan army, he didn't hesitate at all at this moment.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty have never been afraid of head-on battles.
Of course, he also understood that the rear army had already started fighting with the Yuan army, and it was impossible for him to lead the Tianjian Army to leave safely.
Unless they abandon the soldiers behind and let them be the Dead Warriors' Palace.
When the situation of the war is still unclear, I think no general is willing to do that. If it is really a matter of necessity, who will be willing to abandon his robes?
With Monto's order, the soldiers of the Tianjian Army turned back one after another at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment could not hold on any longer.
Their positions were broken by the Yuan army's cavalry.
The scene seemed very tragic.
In order to protect the soldiers in the rear, the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment were stuck in the position and refused to retreat. This led to them being swallowed up by the Yuan army cavalry that rushed up.
A soldier was knocked to the ground by a war horse, and then was stepped by countless horses, and he never got up again.
The generals of the Eighth Regiment actually died among the chaos.
Behind the Eighth Regiment is the Tenth Regiment of the Tianjian Army. Seeing the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment so desolate in front, there was nothing we could do.
They ran down the high slope and provided fire assistance to the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment from the side, but the effect was not particularly obvious.
Moreover, as the Yuan army gradually killed the Tupo, the soldiers of the 10th regiment gradually became too busy to take care of themselves.
With the advance of the Yuan army's iron cavalry, more and more soldiers of the Eighth Regiment were killed.
This war probably won't end in a short time.
The Yuan army took advantage of the cavalry and did not give the Tianjian Army soldiers a chance to open the battlefield. If the Tianjian Army soldiers wanted to lead them away, they were still in trouble.
The cavalry of the Yuan army always used the official road as the main breakthrough point.
However, the reaction speed and response speed of the Tianjian Army were undoubtedly beyond their expectations.
As time passed, although the casualties of the Tianjian Army were not minor, Gu Lieer's iron cavalry did not break through the Tianjian Army's military formation, let alone the soldiers of the Tianjian Army were in chaos.
A raid, under the tenacious resistance of the soldiers of the Tianjian Army, turned into a war of attrition.
On the battlefield, the Yuan army and the Song Dynasty imperial guards were divided into intertwined.
Gu Lieer had already frowned when he saw this in the army.
This is really a big difference from what he expected.
He finally realized that Song Jun was really as powerful as the rumors. He was a very arrogant person, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
Compared with these Song troops, the bandits he wiped out on Xijing Road were really not even considered a nonsense.
And his self-esteem cavalry, in terms of real combat power, probably cannot compare with these Song troops.
He had a sudden attack, and the entire army was full of cavalry, which should have been a sure battle. But now, the Song army has become an unpredictable situation.
Gu Lieer even regretted leading his army to chase him out, but at this moment, it was impossible for him to withdraw.
The two armies are fighting in a stalemate, and whoever retreats will pay the greater price.
The current situation is that two tigers fight each other. To end, one tiger must be bitten and lying down.
Monto frowned at this moment.
However, he frowned not because he was worried about failure, but because more and more soldiers died in battle.
He yelled from time to time in the army, "Battle! Beat me hard! ** These bitches are raised!"
