Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 150
"withdraw!"

Zhao Kuangyin no longer hesitated, and decisively issued an order to withdraw the troops.

This way of consuming each other is too stupid. Zhao Kuangyin doesn't have enough troops, so he doesn't want to waste them here.

Of course, his withdrawal here is not a defeat, but a reluctance to fight again.

Retreat slowly in an orderly manner.

When Zhao Kuangyin retreated, Li Jingda became anxious. Their original plan was to exhaust Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers, and then encircle Zhao Kuangyin with soldiers from Chuzhou and Sizhou.

Now Zhao Kuangyin has retreated directly, and the soldiers of Chuzhou and Sizhou have not yet arrived.

Isn't it a waste of time?
"Quick, wrap them up!"

Li Jingda immediately issued an order.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that the Southern Tang army was entangled, and his heart became angry: "Damn, I really think I'm afraid of you?"

Although the battle was intense, Zhou Bing didn't suffer a loss, but was in an advantage. It's just that Tang Jun's strength exceeded his expectations, and he didn't want to spend any more.

Just when he was about to order to fight back, an ominous feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

Things are abnormal.

Li Jingda's main task is to rescue Shouzhou, and fight with himself in this place to consume each other?
Zhao Kuangyin was keenly aware of a problem, and immediately ordered: "The infantry should ignore the pursuers, don't fight, and continue to retreat!"

He watched the battlefield, and following his order, Zhou Bing began to flee backwards in a rout.

Zhou Bing let go of the girl and ran, and Tang Jun naturally had to let the girl chase after him.

At this time, Zhou Bing was in a situation where he did not resist at all. As long as he caught up, he would be stabbed from behind.

Therefore, when the two armies confront each other, the real mass casualties often do not appear in the fierce fighting stage, but in the pursuit.

Many Zhou soldiers were caught up by Tang Jun and lost their lives due to lack of physical strength.

In an instant, the situation was on the side of the Nantang army.

Only Lin Renzhao complained in his heart, Li Jingda's order was really stupid...

It's just that he had to do as he was told.

Zhou Bing's escape method means that the Southern Tang army can only pursue in the same way.

Li Jingda only thought that he couldn't let Zhao Kuangyin go, but he ignored that Zhao Kuangyin still had cavalry in his hands.

Looking at the chaotic team of the Southern Tang Army in pursuit of the Zhou Army.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed the army stick in front of him and shouted loudly: "A group of bastards who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, follow me to drive them away."

The iron cavalry was thundering, and Zhao Kuangyin led [-] cavalrymen like a torrent, rushing towards the Southern Tang soldiers.

With blood splattered everywhere, Zhao Kuangyin struck left and right with the Huntian stick in his hand.Where people and horses pass by, there are corpses all over the place.

There is no single enemy under this stick, but whoever gets hit by him, it is almost impossible to survive.

After almost a face-to-face meeting, the three thousand Southern Tang troops who were chasing were killed by the cavalry led by Zhao Kuangyin.

The already scattered formation was even more unorganized.

Lin Renzhao's face was livid, and he swung his harpoon at Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed with scorching heat. He saw Lin Renzhao when he was sprinting, but he chose to avoid his position and focus on killing through the enemy formation first.

Now that the enemy line is in chaos, it's time for the cavalry under his command to massacre, so it's time for him to have some fun.

Zhao Kuangyin met Lin Renzhao head-on.

Seeing this, Lin Renzhao pulled the reins, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and saw the meaning of delaying time for him. He was quite regretful, but he stopped chasing him. Seeing that the pursuers had been killed, he looked around the battlefield and laughed loudly: "I, Zhao Kuangyin, come whenever I want, come if I want Just go, you little bastard, what can you do to me?"

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin did not come after him, Lin Renzhao shook his head regretfully after hearing Zhao Kuangyin's rhetoric.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep him today.

Li Jingda's face turned livid when he saw that Zhao Kuangyin defeated the pursuers with three strikes.

Chen Decheng persuaded: "The other party is best at cavalry assaults. We will blindly pursue them and suffer from them. Our army has captured Chuzhou. Zhao Kuangyin is going to Liuhe to join Zhao Kuangyi to get food and supplies. According to the time, Guo Ting The Supervising Army should be attacking Zhao Kuangyi. We don’t need to chase them too fast, as long as we hang around them, we can flank them with Guo Tingzhi’s Supervising Army.”

Li Jingda remembered the experience of rushing Zhao Kuangyin back to Jiangnan, he didn't want to let Zhao Kuangyin go like this, and said loudly: "It should be so, the whole army maintains its formation and slowly pursues him."

When Zhao Kuangyin withdrew from Hengshan, he had already found the soldiers from Chuzhou behind him. He was shocked and secretly thankful.

Fortunately, I retreated in time, otherwise if the battle continued, the soldiers would be exhausted, and if the Chuzhou soldiers and horses took another route, the whole army would really be wiped out.

Seeing that the generals and soldiers around him were a little discouraged, Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, so don't be discouraged. What's more, today we have the upper hand with [-] against [-], but the other side has come for reinforcements, and the strength is too large. Disparity, this is the tactical withdrawal of troops. The opponent's strength is several times that of mine, and it is quite remarkable to achieve such results."

"Let's go back to Liuhe for a rest, and ask the officials for some soldiers and horses, and I will take you to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is a rich place, and it will not be much inferior to our Bianjing..."

In a few words, Zhao Kuangyin revived the morale of the surrounding generals and soldiers.

Zhao Kuangyin was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Kuang Yi, why are you here?"

Wherever he looked, it was his third brother Zhao Kuangyi.

With a black face, he rode a war horse that had been shot in the buttocks, and ran towards him in embarrassment.

"Brother!" Zhao Kuangyi was still in shock. Seeing his brother's peace of mind, he flattered him and wanted to go forward quickly, but he didn't want the horse's legs to go limp, and he knelt down on the ground, throwing Zhao Kuangyi off the horse.

Zhao Kuangyi was fat and his horse was wounded by an arrow. He was exhausted after carrying him all the way here.

Zhao Kuangyi rolled on the ground three times like a ball, and fell a messy one, screaming bitterly.

Zhao Kuangyin hastily got off his horse and helped Zhao Kuangyi up, and hurriedly said: "But something happened in Liuhe?"

Zhao Kuangyi grinned his teeth in pain and said: "Shortly after my brother left today, a group of soldiers came from the direction of Chuzhou. My brother resisted desperately and held the camp for many hours, but the enemy was outnumbered and we couldn't hold on. We can only Burned the baggage, and came to join my brother."

It turned out that after Guo Tingzhi took Chuzhou, he checked the grain depots and found that the amount of grain and grass was wrong. After questioning, he found out that Zhao Kuangyin built a camp in Liuhe, based on Liuhe, to intercept the reinforcements from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ting said that he regained his energy in an instant, and remembered the Zhaojia Banner captured when he defeated Zhao Hongyin. He left [-] soldiers to guard the city, and he led [-] soldiers to attack Liuhe with Zhao Hongyin's banner.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at his father's banner and thought it was his father coming.

It wasn't until Guo Tingzhi came close that he felt something unusual.

In a hurry, Zhao Kuangyi didn't have time to set up the formation and was powerless to resist, so he could only order people to light the food and grass, delaying for a while, and fled all the way here.
