Gongsun Du and all his subordinates were shocked by this result.
The cavalry attacked the infantry and was beaten mercilessly.
How is this possible? It is not impossible for cavalry to lose to infantry, but that is when they are equipped with long-range strike weapons and plenty of crossbows.
There are now 3000 people in the Donglai Military Region and, without a crossbow, they have restrained [-] cavalry.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gongsun Du still couldn't believe it.
"Huh!" With a long breath, Gongsun Du's face became even more gloomy. Seeing that the ten thousand cavalry gradually decreased, he had no choice but to order unwillingly: "Ming Jin withdraws!"
Ding ding ding sounded, and most of the Liaodong cavalry, who had lost most of their losses, retreated back with relief.
Returning to the barracks, Gongsun Du rubbed his temples and asked, "Now we can't attack the city, and the field battle is not as good as Donglai Army. What should we do?"
Liu Yuan and Liu Pu stood up and said: "My lord, let's retreat, and attack Handong Dufu when the weather improves!"
His other generals also looked unhappy. They didn't expect that the conquest would fail at the very beginning, and it would be even more difficult to attack the Protectorate of Handong in the future.
"Forget it, go back and make a long-term plan." Originally, he was ambitious, but he was hit head-on by the Donglai Army, and Gongsundu felt unspeakable pain in his heart.
After the order was given, the army marched out the next day, and soon the soldiers behind the cover sent information.
"Report to my lord, the Donglai Army's pawns are here."
"Following? What do you mean, they still want to use these pawns to chase me down?" Gongsun Du sneered when he heard that the Donglai pawns with broadswords came after yesterday.
Mere infantry, if you can't beat you head-on, forget it. It's ridiculous to want to use infantry to chase cavalry now.
"My lord, I'm afraid the Donglai army is trying to play tricks, so ignore it and return to Liaodong at full speed." Liu Pu suggested.
Yang Zuo said: "My lord, since the Donglai army dares to come, why don't you let the last general charge at him once, and the last general lay in ambush on both sides, and wait for the enemy to chase until they suddenly come out. As long as they don't give the opponent a chance to form an formation, they will be able to kill him in one fell swoop. Stomp."
Five thousand horses were lost yesterday, and they were still killed by infantry. Yang Zuo felt really uncomfortable and brooding, so he wanted to avenge this and justify his name.
He didn't want future generations to talk about this matter, and he himself became a typical loser.
Gongsun Du felt that it was reasonable, so he said a certain word, and then asked Yang Zuo to ambush, and continued to return south with the army.
Half an hour later, the scouts from the rear rushed back to report.
"Report to the lord, General Yang Zuo was ambushed by the enemy, and the whole army was killed."
I……
Gongsun Du was so angry that he whipped his horsewhip against the tree trunk by the side of the road, and asked, "What's the matter, didn't Yang Zuo ambush the Donglai army? How could he be ambushed by the opponent?"
"My lord, General Yang Zuo was ambushing by the side of the road. When he saw Donglai's long-sword soldiers approaching, he led the army to kill them. But when he led his troops to fight the enemy, five thousand enemy riders appeared from the flanks. Yang Zuo The general and others were besieged instead, and died in battle with no hope of breaking through."
"Tian Feng's cavalry?" Gongsundu was silent for a while, and then said: "Quickly retreat, don't love to fight anymore, Tian Feng is a difficult opponent."
No matter how the Donglai army chased after them, Gongsundu did not send a single soldier to counterattack, but accelerated the withdrawal of Ximagai City in Xuantu County.
"How dare you dare to chase after my Xuantu County. What exactly does this Tian Feng want to do? He doesn't want to take the opportunity to capture my Xuantu County." Gongsundu looked at the Donglai Army who had just arrived, and said suspiciously. muttered.
Han Qi asked for the battle again: "My lord, do you want to mobilize soldiers and horses from other cities to surround and kill this Donglai army?"
As soon as the words fell, Liu Pu said: "My lord, you can't. If you are deploying troops, the defenses of the cities will be weak. I'm afraid Tian Feng is waiting for this opportunity to defeat us one by one."
Chapter 414 The Tiger Lives
"That's right! Tian Feng and others know how to calculate. How can I let him do what he wants? Since he dared to chase me into Xuantu County, I will wait for him to attack in this Xigaima city. I really want to see what he wants. How capable is the Lai army in attacking the city?"
Gongsun Du strongly agrees with Liu Pu's opinion, the fact proves that Liu Pu is a qualified military officer, and most of the things he planned before can be verified.
Moreover, he can't withdraw here anymore, he can't just be frightened by the Donglai army like this, and even Xuantu County will be handed over to others.
Although Xuantu County is not big, it is related to the safety of Liaodong. It is impossible for Gongsun Du to take this strategic highland belonging to his back door to Tian Feng.
In the next few days, the Donglai Army's pursuers slowly advanced, and the number increased every day, but the increase was not large, more than [-] a day, and then the camp outside the city was slowly expanded.
This made Gongsun Du, Liu Pu and others full of doubts.
Fighting Tian Feng this time, I always felt that something was wrong, and the Donglai Army was nagging, which was very abnormal.
This continued for more than ten days, and the Donglai Army camp outside the city was expanding day by day, and the number of people seemed to have more than doubled, but the Donglai Army still did not attack the city, not even a test.
The two armies confronted each other peacefully and surprisingly peacefully.
…………
Xiangping City, two or three hundred miles away!
After Gongsun Du left, the city guards were on guard day and night, patrolling vigilantly day and night.
At the beginning, Gongsun Kang also walked through the gates of the major cities every day, strictly inspecting and inspecting.
With the passage of time, the intervals have become longer and longer, replaced by the current three-day tour.
Moreover, the nerves of the defenders were no longer so tense, and the atmosphere in the city became much more relaxed.
Gongsun Kang's main energy was also drawn by two events, one south and one north.
Needless to say, to the north is Gongsundu's place. The Liaodong army marched into the Handong Dufu, but was injured in Liaoshan New City, and had to retreat to Xigaima City to defend instead of attack.
On the south side, after Le Lang received the Liaodong Army's invasion of the Handong Protectorate, the second school lieutenant army stationed in Le Lang crossed the river and attacked Fanhan City, and then attacked Xi'an by water.
The two cities were quickly lost, and the Second School's Weijun continued to advance, heading west along the official road.
The southeastern part of Liaodong belongs to Xu Ding.
Although Gongsun Du had expected that the three cities in the south would not be able to hold on, so he had already evacuated the troops and population.
But without the south, the entire outer circle of the Bohai Strait belongs to Donglai. Xu Ding's troops can go to sea from Donglai to attack Liaodong in an open and above board manner. The restraint has been reduced a lot, so Gongsun Kang is extremely worried.
All his thoughts were thrown here, and he began to neglect Xiangping's defense in a straight line.
On this day, there was a strong man carrying a beautiful mountain tiger on his shoulders, and walked in front of the city swaggering through the city.
Behind the strong man were the same hunters who looked like strong men, carrying eight bloody and lifeless tigers together.
"Look, look, there are a lot of mountain tigers."
Seeing these dozens of people appearing with mountain tigers on their shoulders, countless people were immediately attracted, and they all piled up at the gate of the city.
The soldiers guarding the city gate took the initiative to stop them. In fact, a young general asked, "Who are you? You are carrying a big bug on your shoulders!"
"Master Jun has good eyesight, that's right, we are from a village, and we specialize in hunting in the mountains. Yesterday we found a mountain and found a tiger's den, and killed these nine big worms. I heard that the eldest son likes to collect intact tiger skins. I don’t know if the military master can recommend one or two if I bring a tiger to offer.”
