Li Zhiyun was observing the situation on the battlefield as he led the fleeing soldiers.
Soon, he noticed that Sun Hua's commander flag had moved, and then it suddenly fell.
Sun Hua was escaping!
The commander's flag fell. Li Zhiyun didn't believe that Sun Hua would die just like that. The higher ups in the army always had a much greater chance of survival than the soldiers.
Sun Hua was definitely going to escape, so he didn't even care about the marshal flag.
With this judgment, Li Zhiyun immediately rushed to a cavalryman beside him and shouted,"Take off the iron chain and inform the others to shout together. Sun Hua was killed by the rebels. Surrender and you will be spared!”
He was the only one left in the row of five cavalrymen. Fortunately, this cavalryman's riding skills were not bad. He actually controlled five horses and charged at a fast speed.
After hearing Li Zhiyun's order, the cavalryman responded loudly and swung his saber at the iron chain.
After a few clangs, the iron chain was still not broken. In the end, he could only stop his horse and remove the iron chain. Then, he went to give the order.
This was also Li Zhiyun's plan.
When the chained horses first appeared, they did not use iron chains at all, but leather ropes.
In fact, Pi Suo was the best.
The leather rope could achieve the effect of an iron chain. When the charge was in a dilemma, he could use his knife to cut the leather rope at the first moment.
The reason Li Zhiyun used the iron chains was because these cavalrymen were not absolutely loyal to him.
If they used the leather rope, once the battlefield was thwarted, these people would not hesitate to cut the leather rope and use the horse's rapid mobility to escape the battlefield.
Iron chains were different.
The blade was not broken, and it would take some time to remove the iron chain. On the fierce battlefield, all the veterans knew that bending down to remove the iron chain was courting death.
Therefore, everyone could only brace themselves and charge forward.
"Sun Hua is dead. Surrender!"
"Sun Hua is dead. Surrender!"
……
Soon, the remaining 200 elite cavalry began to shout. The scattered soldiers at the back began to put down their weapons and squat on the ground with their hands raised.
Under the situation of defeat, the morale of the defeated soldiers was completely destroyed. After some people began to surrender, the situation began to spread like a plague.
Soon, the black mass of scattered soldiers put down their weapons at the same time.
"Useless! You're all a bunch of trash!" In the distant forest, the female general behind Ma Sanbao was so angry that she whipped the tree trunk beside her and shouted angrily," Tens of thousands of people actually surrendered in front of hundreds of people. Even if ten of them were to exchange for one life, they would still be able to wipe out Li Zhiyun's cavalry.”
Ma Sanbao shook his head and sighed,""Sun Hua's troops are not elites, and they have never experienced a fierce battle. The defeated soldiers are already scared out of their wits.”
Ma Sanbao had once followed the Li family father and son and participated in the Great Sui's Liao war.
He had personally witnessed the powerful elites of the Great Sui being chased by the Goguryeon peasants with crude weapons.
Therefore, he knew very well that once an army was scared out of their wits, even if they were chased by a group of sheep, it would be difficult for them to organize themselves to resist.
"General Ma, what should we do? Li Zhiyun was about to take control of the battle.”The female general said anxiously.
" I didn't expect Sun Hua to be defeated so quickly," Ma Sanbao said helplessly." I wanted to wait for Li Zhiyun's attack to weaken and give him a thunderous blow when he was in a stalemate, but…"
Ma Sanbao was a little dejected. Sun Hua's troops were too incompetent.
However, Ma Sanbao was also a talent. His expression quickly became firm and he said coldly,"There's only one way now. We'll take the opportunity to sneak into the scattered soldiers. It looks like Li Zhiyun wants to recruit the Revolutionary Army.”
……
The sky gradually darkened, and the entire battlefield calmed down.
Li Zhiyun led less than 200 cavalrymen and rode their horses around the periphery of the battlefield. As long as any scattered soldiers dared to take the opportunity to escape, they would be chased down and killed mercilessly.
At this time, he had to use a strong method to suppress the defeated soldiers.
Showing mercy would embolden the defeated soldiers, and it was very likely that unexpected things would happen.
After a dozen bloody lessons, the defeated soldiers became even more obedient.
Li Zhiyun ordered a team of cavalry to select the old, weak, women, and children to collect weapons on the battlefield. At the same time, they organized the scattered soldiers.
"Giddyup!"
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and Li Zhiyun instantly became alert.
However, when he saw the figure who rushed out of the darkness first, Li Zhiyun heaved a sigh of relief. It was Wan Xuandao.
Wan Xuandao rode his horse to Li Zhiyun excitedly. He raised his hand and grabbed a human head."Zhiyun, look whose head I brought here.”
Li Zhiyun looked at the blood-stained and terrified human head and asked,""It's Sun Hua, right?"
"Yes, it's Sun Hua!"
"Is it confirmed?"
"It has been confirmed. I found a few defeated soldiers to confirm it.”Wan Xuandao answered with certainty. Then, he said with a worried expression,"Zhiyun, I saw a familiar face in the pursuit, Tang Jian!”
" Tang Jian and brother-in-law have a good relationship. His appearance here…"
Wan Xuandao didn't continue, but Li Zhiyun understood. He asked,""Did you catch Tang Jian?"
"No, Tang Jian fled too quickly. In addition, I was worried about you, so I didn't dare to chase too far.”Wan Xuandao said.
"Forget it. Tang Jian alone is no threat to us.”Although Li Zhiyun was regretful, he didn't care. He sneered and said,""It's good that Tang Jian ran away. Let him spread the news. I want to see what will happen if someone finds out about this!”
