Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

The dark clouds were gloomy, as if it was just like Xue Jin's mood, this kind of aggrieved and pain was simply indescribable.How he looked down on the northern barbarians in the past, and how this deformed self-confidence is trampled by King Youxian now. He is confused and resentful, but the result of victory or defeat cannot be reversed by him with a few words.

Therefore, the way Xue Jin came up with was to escape!

Escaping is not an absolute failure strategy.At this time, if Xue Jin resists here, he may not be able to achieve any good results, but will fall into defeat.Under the threat of three times the number of Beiman, they have no way to regroup the army. They are afraid that they will be scattered by the pursuers just as soon as they try to form an army formation.Then it's better to escape as soon as possible, and then gather the troops to regroup in other places, and then form an army.

The loss of morale is certain. Now the northern barbarians are so powerful that there is no effective way to contain them. However, Xue Jin is also a person who knows some military techniques.The current northern barbarian army is like a sword trying to draw its sheath. It is actually difficult to contain it, but as long as it is exhausted, it may not be impossible to win if it re-attacks.

A sword does not have any edge when it is fully inserted in the scabbard, but its momentum is not leaked, and it has its own majesty.A sword, when it is fully drawn, shows its sharpness, it can naturally kill a person in ten steps, and it will never stop for thousands of miles.But what if the sword is only half drawn, and the other half is in the scabbard?What is the result?

The result is that although the sword is sharp and powerful, its strength has been exhausted, and it is difficult to injure the enemy.And this is the opportunity that Xue Jin wants to wait for!

Xue Jin, the leader, has already run away first. Will the other subordinates stay here and wait to be killed?As a result, the whole camp of Xue Jin was flying like dogs and dogs, people turned their backs on their backs, and all the clansmen got on their horses and ran away anxiously. The claws of the virtuous king, they have used everything to the extreme.

It has to be said that the fastest and the first to escape are the sergeants who followed Xue Jin out of the camp. Compared with those tribesmen who did not need to go to the battlefield and lost their vigilance, their speed is absolutely top-notch.He quickly found a war horse and rode on it, and quickly followed Xue Jin out of the camp to regroup and plan to fight again.

Of course King Youxian saw Xue Jin's movements, and wanted to command his soldiers to "capture the thief first and capture the king" to capture Xue Jin, but his obedient soldiers suddenly pretended not to hear him, not only did not After chasing him, he slashed and plundered everywhere instead, not obeying his orders at all.

This not only made Youxian King lose the best chance to get rid of Xue Jin, but also made him resentful!It is a big taboo for military strategists not to obey the orders of the generals. Even if he is a northern barbarian who has not learned the art of war, he knows the meaning of the word order and prohibition.The soldiers under his command have always admired him and obeyed his orders, what happened this time?Could it be that someone is playing tricks?

King You Xian made a conspiracy theory.He felt that he was the benefactor of the Beiman clan. It was he who led the tribe to break through the siege of the Jing army and defeated the army of foreign tribes. Now he even led everyone in the tribe to defeat the mighty Xue Jin. Should everyone be treated like a god?How could these people not listen to him?

Unfortunately, they just refused to listen!

The northern barbarians, to put it mildly, are a nomadic people. If we talk about what they have done for so many years, it is better to call them robbers.Of course, these robbers can follow orders and obey orders when they are strong, and they can also stick together in order to survive in times of crisis, but in such a period of neither being strong nor weak, can they be guaranteed to understand what discipline is? ?

If it was just when the avalanche happened, they escaped from the sky and escaped from the aliens who were far stronger than themselves, of course they would be willing to enshrine Youxian King on the altar and obey all his orders.But then they met Xue Jin, the fox, who made repeated calculations and sneak attacks, causing the northern barbarians to suffer repeated defeats and retreat step by step. Polished, only King Youxian feels good about himself, and thinks he is the god of the northern barbarians...

Irritable, irritable, self-willed, coupled with consecutive defeats, this is the impression that the northern barbarians have of King Youxian.For this group of people who only obey the strong, it is a dream to let them remember the kindness of the past!If the prestige of the past can last a lifetime, how could the unlucky predecessor Khan be killed by Zuo Xianwang?

Seeing the livestock, gold, silver and jewels left behind by Xue Jin's tribe, as long as they take them away, they can live a rich life. Could it be that a few orders can make these robbers leave their wealth to chase after a man who can't kill him? Xue Jin who doesn't care about killing?

What if they followed Xue Jin, only to find that the gold, silver and livestock had been snatched away by those who stayed behind when they came back?Is there another fight inside?So this group of guys pretended they didn't hear it, they were all attracted by the wealth, and they didn't listen at all.

Xue Jin looked at his camp that had been breached from a distance, not angry, but overjoyed.Isn't this exactly what he was looking forward to when "the sword is half out of its sheath"?He was secretly delighted, thinking that he could turn the tables, that he could take the opportunity to fight back and win the battle.

He summoned his subordinates, commanded the cavalry under his command, and planned to regroup and charge back, but would the gods still wholeheartedly help Xue Jin turn the tables?The answer is, no!

Just when Xue Jin rekindled hope, a thunderous sound of horseshoes rolled from the depths of the nearby dense forest. Before he could react clearly, he saw countless heavy cavalry in iron armor coming from Charged out of the jungle, while he was in a trance, many of his subordinates were cut off from their horses by these steel monsters!

Cavalry, heavy cavalry...Jing Army, it's Jing Army!

The stragglers hadn't yet assembled into a suitable formation, and Xue Jin probably hadn't noticed it yet. Compared with the northern barbarians who robbed gold and silver, his own cavalry looked like a half-drawn sword.He wanted to plot against King Youxian, but he didn't know that someone else was plotting against him. How could the sharp-eyed Situ Sheng and Jiang Yuan miss such a good opportunity?

Xue Jin did not catch up with the Qingli Lake battle, but he had heard about the heavy cavalry of the Jing Army from his allies and aliens.He once saw some heavy cavalry of the Jing army when he was an envoy to the Jing Dynasty. At that time, he didn't take these slow and clumsy guys seriously, but now that he bumped into them head-on, he knew what it was called. Unrivaled!

Xue Jin's subordinates were still reorganizing the battle formation, in other words, they stopped their horses here and did not move at all.As I said a long time ago, cavalry who have lost their speed are not as easy to use as infantry, so how can light cavalry who have lost their speed be opponents of heavy cavalry?

The heavy cavalry of the Jing army who came out mysteriously were not at all afraid of the arrows shot by the light cavalry under Xue Jin's command, nor did they pay attention to the bronze weapons and low-quality scimitars.The speed has been increased to the maximum, they just charge and charge, under the protection of the iron armor, under the sharp edge of the ring head knife, those poor guys who have not yet relaxed from the attack of the northern barbarian cavalry and are still in shock have nothing at all. He managed to resist it, and was strangled quite smoothly!

Xue Jin was startled. He yelled loudly, trying to stop the unrivaled heavy cavalry, "Don't kill! We are also from Jing! We are our own people!...Don't kill!" He yelled with all his might But how loud can a person's voice be?It was easily blocked by the sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing, and no one could hear it at all.

However, some sergeants leaning next to Xue Jin had better ears, and they still heard the shouts of their own leaders.They were already in shock, and at this time they were in the most panic and timid moment. When they heard that their opponent was the Jing army who strangled the Jing army without any care, how could they have the idea of ​​meeting the enemy?He got off his horse and knelt down and surrendered!

How can the soldiers raise their fighting spirit when the general surrenders?In addition, since the Battle of Qingli Lake, Jing Jun has been talked about by gods and monsters in Beiman country, and no one dared to mention it.But the more you dare not say this, the more fear you feel in your heart, the more you dare not even think about it, the more you fantasize.If you don't see a real person, you can scare yourself to death. How can you not be scared when you see the real Jing Jun now?

So as soon as Zhang Dahai rushed out of the ambush forest with the soldiers under his command, he found that the opponent had surrendered... This sour feeling is indescribable... He finally won the bet against the other bastards and won the first place. The qualifications to attack, but before they could kill the Quartet, they found that the enemy had surrendered... Can we still fight a good battle!

He is so depressed here that he is dying, and the deputy around him is still trying to persuade him, "General, you must know that a good fighter has no great military exploits. The so-called soldier who surrenders without fighting is the highest state of using soldiers..."

Can Zhang Dahai say that what he pursued all his life is not the highest state?If he wants to play tricks, he won't bring the slowest heavy cavalry in this battle, okay? Isn't it possible to play more tricks by directly leading the light cavalry?He deliberately swapped with people, made a bet with people, desperately wanting to lead the heavy cavalry, didn't he hope to play with the heavy cavalry to kill the enemy with iron and blood?In the end... it was a waste of time again...

Zhang Dahai didn't dare to violate military discipline and kill surrendered soldiers, but he was so depressed that he gritted his teeth and scolded Xue Jin for not beating him in a low voice.How did he know that Xue Jin standing beside him was more depressed than him, all his subordinates surrendered, and he even pushed himself on the ground to ask for surrender, before he could react, he became a prisoner.

The lieutenant general couldn't stand Zhang Dahai's non-stop nagging, so he simply diverted the trouble, "General, isn't there a Youxian king over there?"

This sentence awakened Zhang Dahai at once, yes, it’s good if there are no fish and shrimp, not to mention that King Youxian is not a small shrimp, and the number of people is more than that of Xue Jin.As for the small matter that the army arranged to deal with King Youxian was not his heavy cavalry, Zhang Dahai didn't take it to heart at all.At the beginning, Deputy Commander Jiang Yuanjiang planned to deal with King Youxian first, and then deal with Xue Jin, but who knew that the situation changed suddenly when he arrived, and the countermeasures had to be adjusted?

The direction of Xue Jin's escape was hitting the woods where their heavy cavalry was ambushing, so His Majesty the Emperor directly ordered Zhang Dahai to attack in order not to miss the best opportunity.In fact, heavy cavalry generally don't attack so early. After all, they are slow. If they are dealing with light cavalry, they are likely to be thrown away by their opponents.

Since the heavy cavalry that should have been dispatched last all shot first, it proves that the established tactics should be changed at any time as the battle situation changes.There is no way to lead the army with a dead brain. A real master must learn and apply it flexibly.Moreover, the most important thing is that the general will be outside, and the king's fate will not be tolerated!Since Xue Jin surrendered so quickly, it doesn't make sense that their heavy cavalry can't intervene to deal with that Youxian King!

Zhang Dahai felt that his mind had never been so flexible. Without saying a word, he waved his hand, "Let me go and kill Youxian King! Kill Youxian King, reward you with a hundred taels of gold, be promoted to a higher level, and capture Youxian alive!" King, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and you will be promoted to three ranks!"

When he shouted, except for some necessary troops who stayed to watch Xue Jin and his group of captives, the rest of the soldiers followed their generals and rushed to deal with King Youxian.Zhang Dahai was full of ambition there, but the speed of the heavy cavalry was too slow, and it really couldn't stop some people from coming first.

His heavy cavalry had just started, and the light cavalry led by Pang Liang had rushed out of the mountain forest where he was hiding at the fastest speed. Before Zhang Dahai could react, the faster light cavalry It has already rushed towards Xue Jin's camp like a whirlwind!

Seeing the light cavalry rushing out, Zhang Dahai wished he could jump off his horse and yell at him, "You Pang Liang, you are too disrespectful! You bastard, leave some enemies for me, at least keep You Xianwang for me!" ah!"

Although he knew that the speed of the heavy cavalry was completely inferior to that of the light cavalry, Zhang Dahai urged his subordinates to rush forward.Still the same sentence, no fish and shrimp is fine, and even some soup can come out without meat, and it is better to be late than never, and he is still waiting for a fight.

The movement on Xue Jin's side was so loud that anyone who was not deaf could definitely hear it, not to mention that even if he couldn't hear it, he could still see it, so King Youxian, who was furious, immediately found out that something was wrong.The distance was too far, so he didn't see clearly the clothes of the charging enemy, but he did see the combat power that defeated Xue Jin in an instant.In the entire northern barbarian grassland, who else could have such powerful strength?

Don't even think about it, King You Xian can only think of the scene he saw next to the Qingli Lake - Jing Jun, it is definitely Jing Jun!

"Jingjun is here! Jingjun is here!"

Not only Youxian King discovered the problem, but also the other northern barbarian cavalry, and then someone yelled out loudly.When they heard that it was Jing Jun, the robbers who were happily hacking people and stealing gold all trembled in fright. Some of them didn't even care about the gold and silver they had just robbed, and just threw it on the ground and planned to ride away on horseback .

"Don't panic, don't panic, we even defeated the aliens who were twice as big as us, and killed Xue Jin's [-] cavalry without bloodshed. We are fully capable of fighting the Jing army. Don't panic!" Seeing the cavalrymen under his command panicked, King Youxian yelled loudly, hoping to boost the morale of these cavalrymen again.

This Lord Youxian, or the trusted Beiman Khan, is in a period of bursting with self-confidence.He first defeated the alien race, and then almost wiped out Xue Jin's tribe, so even facing the mighty Jing army, he didn't take it seriously.

In his heart, the heavens bless the northern barbarians, and the reason why those cowards in the south beat him last time was just relying on the strength of their armor.He may still be afraid of heavy cavalry and Mo Dao soldiers. Light cavalry, also without armor protection, are definitely not opponents of the northern barbarians!

It seems that King Youxian's call had an effect. The northern barbarian cavalry, who were still flustered at the beginning, still united together, and did not collapse when they were frightened like Xue Jin's men, and were rushed into scattered soldiers.They have lost a lot during this period, and they have lost a certain pattern.If it becomes a straggler and is broken through the army formation, the number of casualties will be even greater.Running the same way, or running together has a greater chance of surviving...

King Youxian was still thinking about how to repel the incoming enemy, but his subordinates had already thought about how to run away...that is to say, he himself didn't know this, otherwise he would have to explode in anger.

Seeing the quickly assembled cavalry, King Youxian was still very satisfied, and rushed out from the gate of the village with them, facing the incoming enemy bravely.The reason why these northern barbarian cavalry obeyed the order and rushed over was not because they were no longer afraid of the Jing army, nor did they suddenly ignite with confidence, but because...the whole camp had only one gate, unexpectedly. It is impossible to rush out from there.

Xue Jin, who has two swords in the art of war, knows a few theoretical things, and doesn't understand the rest at all.For a large village, he set up a gate, no matter attacking or fleeing, he can only rush out through the gate, can this be better... at least leave a back door...

As for the reason why the other generals under King Youxian agreed to just rush out of the gate instead of defending on the spot, it was also a helpless move.In terms of offense, the northern barbarians are no longer the opponents of the Jing army. Are the northern barbarians very powerful in terms of defense?All fools know that they are a bunch of defensive useless wood, if they insist on defending the stronghold, they will probably lose faster.

The shooting range of bows and arrows is too different, which is a huge disadvantage for the northern barbarians on the defensive side.Xue Jin's stockade is not very well built, and it must not be able to defend against the attack of the cavalry of the Jing army.The most troublesome thing is that there are clansmen and slaves of the Xue Jin tribe in this village. Will they still help these enemies?Don't come to a center to bloom again at that time.Rather than being flanked by two sides, it is better to rush out to meet the enemy.

Of course, they also knew that they were no match for Jing Jun.But it's always good to add up the horse speed first.If you can't fight, you can turn around and run away, which is better than staying where you are and waiting to be slaughtered.

Just like that, [-] northern barbarian cavalry rushed out of the camp and slammed into the [-] light cavalry of the Jing army.The idea of ​​the northern barbarians is very simple. It is better than weapons than courage. They firmly believe that with their fearless courage, they can always rush to fight a bloody road at the cost of their lives.But will Pang Liang satisfy their ideas?

of course not!

The most taboo thing for light cavalry is head-to-head confrontation.With only leather armor for self-defense, the light cavalry, whose defense is quite miserable, is likely to suffer heavy losses when facing the enemy head-on.Exchanging one's life for one's life is the worst policy, but not destroying the enemy's vitality is the best policy.Pang Liang reacted quickly, and immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse to avoid the enemy's edge, and outflank the enemy from both sides.

Even if he knew that Pang Liang's idea was to outflank the two wings, but the number of northern barbarian cavalry was far less than that of the Qing cavalry of the Jing army, and their momentum was lost, how dare they stay longer?Knowing that it was a trap, I could only rush forward.You Xian Wang led his men straight to the past, hoping to break out of the encirclement, and then think about the strategy against the enemy.

The Jing army surrounded by two wings kept shooting arrows, relying on their own bows and arrows to shoot farther, causing great damage to the northern barbarian cavalry.Pang Liang didn't leave some people to deliberately block the front of the northern barbarian army, because he was afraid that the fleeing northern barbarian army would fight desperately and cause too many casualties.He deliberately led soldiers around the enemy's formation from the two wings, and only turned his horse's head and tail to chase after the enemy's rear. It seemed that he let the enemy go and let them rush out of the battle formation. In fact, he could better disrupt the enemy formation and kill these people. The fearful enemy.

If it's just chasing after the tail, it will take a long time to wipe out the Youxian King's army.After all, light cavalry has no advantage in speed against light cavalry, and in terms of strength, they can only rely on the range of bows and arrows, and there is no way to wipe out the enemy quickly.It would be useful if there were firearms, but recently the entire mountainous area and the grasslands outside have been raining, and there is no way to use gunpowder, so Pang Liang has no special solution.

Pang Liangguang's light cavalry is of course no good way to wipe out the enemy, but Zhang Dahai's heavy cavalry has already followed.The speed of the heavy cavalry was a little slower, and they couldn't reach the front of Pang Liang, so they could only follow behind and chase hard, but at this time, it happened to arrive as if they had agreed upon it.These sad northern barbarians had just rushed through the flanks of the light cavalry and ran into the formation of the heavy cavalry head-on!

The heavy cavalry who were chasing all the way had increased their horse speed to the peak at this time!They are not light cavalry without heavy armor. Under perfect defense, their slower speed is best at head-to-head.Under Zhang Dahai's command, these steel monsters slammed straight into the opponent in front of them, easily tore apart the opponent's formation with the horse lance and the ring head knife, cut them into pieces and strangled them cleanly!

There are chasing soldiers behind and fierce tigers in front. They are completely incapable of fighting, and there is no way to outsmart them.King You Xian did have two skills in making plans, but he made the plan slowly and slowly when he was quiet. Although he was better than King Zuo Xian in terms of directing on the ground, he was not so strong. where to go.He is too bad at changing in battle, and he will be defeated in an instant if he encounters an unexpected situation.

Seeing that King Youxian had no idea again, the northern barbarian army was terrified.The Battle of Qingli Lake has already broken the backbone of the Beiman clan, and it will be impossible to establish it again within a few decades.These sergeants couldn't hold on any longer. At the beginning, they thought about huddling together to escape their lives, but when they encountered a completely unreasonable opponent, their beliefs collapsed in an instant, and there was only one belief in their minds— -escape!

Under such circumstances, no matter how strong his self-confidence is, King Youxian can only flee away under the coercion of his subordinates.These defeated troops didn't even dare to flee in the direction of their Dazhai, because they knew that there was no way to defend it, and it would only delay their escape.These ruthless bandits are hoping that the wealth in the two camps of Xue Jin and the northern barbarians can lure Jing Jun's mind and make them give up chasing him, but go to snatch it.

Obviously, as robbers, they couldn't understand what military discipline was, nor did they understand Jing Jun's consistent style.Compared with the gold and silver that you have to spit out and hand over to the treasury if you grab it, and the slaves that are not considered achievements, of course it is more cost-effective to chase the enemy in exchange for the beheading military exploits.The speed of Zhang Dahai's heavy cavalry was still a bit slower, but Pang Liang's light cavalry did not slow down. They didn't put their minds on the camp at all, and directly chased after the defeated Youxian King's army.

Zhang Dahai was about to continue chasing him, but was stopped by his subordinates, "General, our horses are too slow, even if we chase them, we won't be able to catch up. Why don't we stay and deal with these two camps?"

Zhang Dahai sighed heavily, feeling extremely depressed, but he also knew that his subordinates were telling the truth, so he could only rein in his horse and stop unwillingly, leading his subordinates to fight back against the two camps, trying to capture more northern barbarians for a living. Get military merit.There is no way to fight, so I can only retreat to the next best thing, at least I must grab more military merits...
