In addition to Xiahou Jing's team, which easily defeated the enemy's team because they knew how to swim, the other teams also used various methods to annihilate the teams they were chasing.
Qin Li led the main force and killed hundreds of people. Zasykuzé's team had the most people.
Once someone found that they or their horses were about to die, they would turn around and charge.
They would rather die than surrender. They were Zasykuzé's bodyguards.
Each of them was from the Alpha Clan. At least three generations of people had died in battle.
In their generation, no one had died in battle. Anyway, they couldn't run away, so they helped their descendants.
Otherwise, if they surrendered and the news spread, the Alpha Clan's reputation would be ruined.
The Tang Dynasty was not so strict with soldiers now. Sometimes, when they were outnumbered and alone, they did not want to resist when they were caught.
If it was a general, it was a different matter. If they were caught, they would die.
If they were afraid of death and said that they would work for the enemy, their family would die.
In fact, sometimes Tubo could also be caught. Military forces of the Tang Dynasty were too many. If they surrounded him, they could catch him. Even the enemy's chief general could be caught.
Of course, the captured generals were not caught in a one-on-one battle.
What was a general? Asking for a one-on-one battle?
Guo Zhiyun was good at one-on-one battles. He was good at this.
If it was Zhang Xiaosong, he would not do it. He was a Jinshi, and he played with strategy.
Guo Ziyi was good at fighting. In history, he did not fight one-on-one because the enemy's chief general did not fight with him.
Qin Li, who was chasing Zasykuzé now, was also good at fighting. In terms of combat power, he was not as good as many of his brothers in the team.
He was good in other aspects, especially in things like sand table deduction, calculation, and hot air balloon control.
The sand table that Li Yi invented wasn't something that only one person could talk about while the others acted as the judges.
It was also not two people standing next to a sand table and talking to each other to see who could suppress the other party.
Usually, there were three sand tables of the same size.
The two people fighting each faced a sand table, and the other sand table was placed in the evaluation area. A group of people was responsible for the evaluation.
Both sides only knew the approximate number of troops the other side had, then they would send out their troops, scout how far they had traveled, and observe the terrain.
How should the main force be deployed? How should the flag be planted on the sand table?
Sometimes, when one side was still deploying scouts and positions, someone would run over and plant a small flag of the enemy behind him.
He told him that the enemy was here. He didn't know how they came, but they were here.
The person who made the assessment knew that the entire army was mobilized and started to circle around from the side.
By the time this person came to his senses, he realized that it was the scouts behind him who had encountered the enemy. At the same time, he did not know how many enemies there were and was about to send more scouts to investigate when the enemy began to attack.
Li Yi's method was actually used in some combat games, and it was shady.
For example, Red Alert, Age of Empires, StarCraft, Warcraft, Homeland, Star Wars, and other real-time strategy games.
Otherwise, who would listen to you? Isn't that Zhao Kuo? Although Zhao Kuo had some skills, he was just unlucky.
Qin Li's performance in the sand table was good, but it didn't mean that he had won many times.
What he was best at was being steady. He could always think of loopholes and deploy his troops to take advantage of them.
Just like in boxing, he rarely won by knocking down his opponent. Most of the time, he won by points.
Everyone's evaluation of him was that he was excellent. His side didn't suffer any losses, and he won by surprise.
If it was too risky, his brothers would be sent to their deaths.
He was steady, which was why he was sent.
If Guo Ziyi was sent, it would no longer be a problem of stability. That would be a great achievement.
How steady was he? The enemy split up to lure him, but he didn't care at all.
Many people even surrounded a person wearing Zasykuzé's clothes and ran to the side, but he still didn't care.
He wasn't chasing after someone. When he came over, he had looked at the map and could guess where Zasykuzé was going.
You ran to the side. Even if it was really you, would you be faster than me? I promise I'll get there before you.
Sure enough, not long after, when those people saw that the Winged Knights didn't chase after them, they urged their horses to speed up and return.
As they ran back and forth, some horses fell.
Zasykuzé, who had run away, was now afraid. He clearly had the courage to fight to the death before, but now he was afraid.
He had personally experienced how terrifying the Winged Knights were. Their archery and riding skills were no worse than his, who had been practicing since childhood.
He had woken up in the middle of the night to prepare in advance, but the Winged Knights had discovered the situation and immediately chased after him.
He and the others ate casually on horseback, and the Winged Knights did the same.
Sending troops to lure them didn't work, and some people risked their lives to charge, but the Winged Knights' formation didn't change at all.
Seeing that one person on his side couldn't even reach two horses, the Winged Knights still rode three horses each.
Was the private army of the Tang Emperors really that strong?
They didn't advance rashly, they didn't fall for tricks, they didn't rush, and they didn't give up.
They had 30,000 soldiers. No wonder some of the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty didn't say anything when their interests were taken over, let alone secretly resist.
It wasn't that those aristocratic families didn't want to, but they didn't dare.
Li Yi was still Li Yi. According to the information Bo Qiao sent back, Li Yi was the first to train 3,000 Winged Knights for the Tang Emperors.
After that, the other Winged Knights followed suit and trained bit by bit, and that was how they became the powerful soldiers of the Tang Emperors.
Zasykuzé thought about it and realized that he couldn't run anymore. It wasn't that the horses couldn't run anymore, but he felt that he couldn't go on anymore.
Riding a horse was not like sitting in a car. Even driving a car was tiring, let alone riding a bumpy horse.
The consecutive defeats had taken a toll on his spirit, especially when he fainted before the battle, was chased after, and then got up in the middle of the night to run again.
His subordinates were getting fewer and fewer, and his horses were also gone. The Winged Knights should be the main force chasing after him.
With so many Winged Knights, they should have split up to chase after his subordinates. Would they be caught? Would they be able to report back? Did he make a mistake in his command again?
All kinds of negative emotions were suppressed. Zasykuzé felt that stars were appearing in front of his eyes one after another, and he couldn't breathe.
If Li Yi was here and knew about his situation, he would shake his head and say that he didn't have the qualities of a leader.
How far was this? During the 25,000 Li Long March, there were pursuers behind and interceptions in front.
He had to run so far and kill the enemy while running. What kind of pressure was he under?
Ordinary people would have committed suicide long ago because their mental fortitude was not good enough.
But he wasn't. He persevered, ran, fought, and finally rushed out and joined forces in victory.
Zasykuzé's mental fortitude was obviously not good enough. His whole body was cold, and his hands and feet were numb. He was only relying on inertia to maintain the posture of riding a horse.
His instincts since he was young kept him on the horse.
In fact, he had a fever, caused by both physical and psychological reasons.
Many people had the same symptoms as him. His bodyguards were also human, and they had never endured such a difficult time.
Many of the Winged Knights chasing after him were also tired, but a few of them had determined eyes.
These few people were part of the former 3,000 people. They had been led by Li Yi to play, and they had endured the moment when they wanted to die.
