Chapter 443 Let Me Tell You Bai Qi(1/2)
The three-year Yongzhen year of the Changzhou offensive and defensive battle lasted only ten days.
On the night of the tenth day, Changzhou suddenly turned against the defense and attacked.
The gentleman flag that hurried to Changzhou City adopted the tactic of suspicion of soldiers. The Chuanyun Army, which had only more than 2,000 people, immediately put a scarecrow on the spare war horse, put on armor, tied a wooden stick and a wooden gun on the scarecrow, and inserted hundreds of flags.
At first glance, it seems that there are six or seven thousand people.
Li Ruyu's four thousand men, plus the light cavalry of Chuanyun Army, took advantage of the night to kill the Zhulu Army in panic. When the war damage gradually increased, soon the central army of Zhulu Army began to collapse.
In history, wars have not only decided when one side of the army dies. Generally speaking, when the death rate reaches 30%, ordinary troops will begin to collapse.
When the death rate reaches 40%, ordinary elite troops will also begin to collapse.
If the death rate reaches 50%, even the elite army will collapse.
With a death rate of 60% or even more than 10%, it will only be discovered during the siege that in the Battle of Changping between Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, more than half of Bai Qi's army suffered casualties, which was accumulating several wars.
Zhao Kuo's 400,000 army had a low casualty rate, but in the end his morale collapsed and surrendered.
That's the reason.
During the siege, if you cannot break through, there are only two possibilities: surrender or be completely wiped out.
When the death rate of the Zhulu Army's morale began to collapse after breaking through tonight, the enemy's army began to collapse when the death rate reached 30%. After all, the unknown night made people not know how many reinforcements the enemy had, which made it easier to increase the fear of the Zhulu Army.
If it were normal times, without a 40% death rate, the Zhulu Army would never have collapsed.
What's more, the 25,000 Zhulu Army was besieged from all sides, while the 4,000 who left the west gate of Changzhou, Li Ruyu, and the Chuanyun Army of the Junziqi, collided from the north of the left wing, and happened to hit the central army.
The other three sides were unable to provide assistance.
The trend is over.
Zhao Kuo had to lead some troops to retreat.
But I never thought that Li Ruyu actually led two hundred light cavalry to bite behind Zhao Kuo.
No matter what, I can't get rid of it.
When Changzhou started to clean up the mess, a pursuit battle started between Changzhou and Pukang Town... Zhao Kuo fled in panic like a dog with a broken family, and Li Ruyu completely abandoned the truth that the poor enemy did not pursue him and pursued him desperately.
But Zhao Kuo didn't know that Li Ruyu had only two hundred people and dared to chase him to death. In the night sky, the wind and cranes were all the soldiers, and the sounds of hundreds of iron cavalry hit his heart like thunder.
He just wanted to retreat to Pukang Town and reorganize his troops.
He won't convince.
This time, it was not that he was inferior to Bai Qi, but that the sudden appearance of thousands of troops in the Yunsun caught me off guard and made me think so much, but that I didn't even count on Changzhou City, and I actually waited for reinforcements.
Could it be that Li Su from Yongchuan and Li Pingyang from Bishan are consuming shit, so why did the reinforcements from the imperial guards arrive in Changzhou without knowing it? And the scouts he released did not send any news back?
Zhao Kuo was unwilling to give up.
But he had to face the fact that Bai Qi was chased by him like a stray dog.
However, as long as you arrive in Pukang Town, you will have a chance.
After the scattered Zhulu army returned to Pukang Town, waiting for the soldiers who broke through and returned. After the rectification, there should be more than 10,000 people, which is enough to fight Bai Qi again.
Zhao Kuo will never admit defeat.
But Zhao Kuo had to admit that on that night, he remembered the fear of being dominated by Bai Qi in Changping.
It can't be gone.
However, in the dark night behind me, the iron hooves were like thunder, and the cold light shone on the iron clothes.
The sound of horse hooves gathered together, like thunder stimulating on the earth, awakening the sleeping earth from the darkness, and countless birds flapping their wings from the woods.
In the dark night, two fire dragons are one in front and one behind.
The Zhulu Army originally came to attack the city, and there were only one thousand cavalry in the army.
However, before these thousand cavalry had time to form a formation, they were chiseled into pieces by the Chuanyun Army. After about 200 people were damaged in the battle, they soon dispersed in the night, unable to stop the Chuanyun Army from colliding into the infantry formation.
When Zhao Kuo retreated, the dispersed light cavalry gathered together as soon as possible, and withdrew to Pukang Town with the main general, plus some other lower-level generals and confidant cavalry.
There are still a thousand people behind Zhao Kuo.
All of these thousand people were cavalry, otherwise how could they escape the biting of the Chuanyun Army? But at this moment, two hundred people chased him and threw away his armor. Everyone hated the war horse under their feet on four legs.
Zhao Kuo hated a lot.
It would be fine if I was in a mess in the Battle of Changping. After all, Bai Qi had a military force of 650,000, while he was only more than 400,000. With the advantage of military force, and the urging of King Zhao, he led to his invasion and defecation and being defeated and surrounded.
This time, I surrounded Bai Qi with absolute superior force, so why did I still end up in such a mess?
A growing fire dragon suddenly appeared in the night, and on the road, two cavalry suddenly turned around and ran away. Judging from the standard, it should be the Western infantry who escorted the baggage, food and grass to Changzhou.
Zhao Kuo was overjoyed and shouted, "I am the commander of the Zhulu Army Zhao Kuo!"
More than a thousand Western infantrymen in charge of escorting food and grass were shocked after their generals learned that Zhao Kuo's defeat appeared in front of them, and ordered the infantry to arrange without hesitation.
When it was lightly dawn, Zhao Kuo joined the thousand-straits.
Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back at the chasing cavalry, he was immediately overjoyed.
God helps me!
Bai Qi, Bai Qi, you really think that I, Zhao Kuo, are fish on the chopping table, and you dare to bring such a little light cavalry to chase me. I immediately blushed and I was chased by these mere one or two hundred cavalrymen for the middle of the night.
A great shame.
This made Zhao Kuo feel even more ashamed of Zhao Kuo than being besieged for forty-six days in Changping.
Zhao Kuo ordered the cavalry to line up and infantry to escort the formation.
Under such circumstances, if Li Ruyu dares to turn around and retreat, he will lead the light cavalry to pursue him, so that Bai Qi in Li Ruyu's body can also enjoy the shame of the wrecked dog.
If Li Ruyu did not retreat, two hundred iron cavalry would crash into hundreds of light cavalry and one thousand infantry guards would be crushed.
Zhao Kuo drew his sword.
He was waiting, waiting for Li Ruyu to turn around and retreat, or waiting for Li Ruyu's light cavalry to be wiped out.
How would Li Ruyu choose?
No choice!
There is only one road, that is, to use two hundred cavalry to penetrate hundreds of light cavalry formations of enemy troops.
In the blink of an eye, the war horses neighed and flesh collided with swords and swords.
The man and the horse were overturned, and two hundred light cavalry were like an ice arrow, shooting into a sea of fire, constantly advancing and melting, but in the end, there were only hundreds of light cavalry in the enemy.
Crashed through!
Behind Li Ruyu, there were only fifty light cavalry left.
But he saw Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo also saw Li Ruyu, and even clearly saw the cold murderous intent in Li Ruyu's eyes. Zhao Kuo was a little unbelievable. The formations of hundreds of cavalry were so easily penetrated?
When he saw Li Ruyu pointing his long sword at him, Zhao Kuo was panicked.
Once again dominated by the fear of the past.
He retreated back to the infantry army and shouted hysterically: "Who can stop the enemy? If you have a lot of rewards, you will be promoted to generals if you take down the heads of the enemy generals!"
People die of money and birds forget about food.
The two or three hundred soldiers closest to Zhao Kuo stepped forward one after another.
But how could these light cavalry that were just escorting food and supplies stop the cavalry from charging... Even if there were only fifty people, they were still cavalry and could not be stopped.
As the man leaned over and overturned, the ice arrows that split the layers of waves continued to melt.
When Li Ruyu rushed to Zhao Kuo first, all the fifty cavalry behind him were besieged and fell into a desperate situation.
Li Ruyu set out his sword.
A sword hung out an ink pond, and then the ink pond poured into thousands of sword rains. After the sword rain, there was no living person within a radius of fifty meters beside Zhao Kuo.
Li Ruyu rode his horse over and slapped Zhao Kuo fainted with one sword. He immediately grabbed the guy's clothes, turned around and ran away.
At this moment, the two hundred light cavalry of the Yun army had died.
Only Li Ruyu is left.
However, the surviving cavalry and infantry of the Western Army had been killed and had been killed. After more than ten people tried to block Li Ruyu's face, they were killed by Li Ruyu's ruthless sword, and no one moved forward.
People are still afraid of death after all.
Hundreds of people watched the rider go away.
Immediately they looked at each other.
What situation is that it comes and goes quickly. Many people don’t know what happened. Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhulu Army, was strongly collided by the young general and captured Yu Qianren’s army alive?
Even Yue Pingchuan, who was at the peak of that time, could not do it!
