Chapter 106 The Battle of Guizhou (5)
Since the Chu warships had arrived three days ago, only a very small number of boatmen were left to move on them, but they had not moved at all for three days! This was the news that Wu Huai'en had sent people to monitor these ships for three consecutive days.
It was precisely because he was convinced that there were no hidden soldiers on the ship that Wu Huaien dared to pull most of the navy to the shore to participate in the duel with Lin Feng on land.
After all the two hundred ships in the Battle of Chu were started, like miracles, the originally empty ships suddenly appeared on the surface of the ships. They were all wearing black Tang military uniforms, waving weapons in their hands, and shouting and starting a whole team.
That’s right, these almost crazy soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are really going to get bad! After they got on board from Yutan City, they stayed in the cabin all day and had not been ashore for 18 consecutive days!
As soon as they got on the boat, they received strict orders, and no one was allowed to make noise or appear on the boat! In the dark and stuffy cabin, they squeezed together and couldn't even stretch their legs. Therefore, the "Daoye Xiang" chore that everyone despised the most in the past became the "beautiful miss" that every soldier rushed to do because he could get out of the cabin twice in one day.
It was better before arriving in Guizhou, but the management was not particularly strict. Everyone could basically take turns to eat hot meals every day, and occasionally slip onto the boat in the middle of the night to get some air. Once they entered Guizhou, they could no longer go out for air and could only chew cold steamed buns at each meal. Even the people who "sweet night fragrance" were replaced by boatmen.
Just now, the red battle flag was ordered to attack, and the boatman ran into the cabin and said, and all the soldiers rushed to the surface of the ship. For a moment, all the soldiers felt like they were returning to the world and seeing the light of day again. Only then did they realize that the sky and scenery that were used to being used to was so beautiful, and even the air was more fragrant and pleasant than usual!
The two hundred warships were divided into two parts as they were sailing. Half of the warships sailed straight down and surrounded the Han army warships stationed on the shore, while the other half was docked on the shore in front of the Han army warships and began to set up bridges and disembark one after another. Their disembarkation position was basically almost opposite the Han army's command platform, with a clear intention, and they wanted to wrap the entire Han army around!
At this time, the Chu-Tang coalition forces that were changing positions to launch crossbows, and the Tang army that had just shot arrows on both sides had approached the Han army infantry from the west, north and south. Because these Han soldiers were going to follow the cavalry and elephant soldiers, they all went into battle lightly, and there were not many people carrying shields or bows. Especially the hand crossbow formation on the opposite side, although the number of people was small, the three rows of soldiers took turns to fire crossbow arrows, and never stopped. The arrows that came roared like peeling onions, peeling off the Han soldiers who only held short weapons such as swords and guns from the outside to the inside, layer by layer.
This is simply a massacre with intentions and unpreparedness!
"General Wu, things are no longer possible. You should withdraw first!" A Han army commander came over, pulled Wu Huaien's sleeve, and begged in a low voice.
"We are not defeated yet! What are you going to retreat?" Wu Huaien roared angrily, slapped the commander hard, stretched out his hand again, and pulled off the sleeve that the commander had just pulled off, revealing half of his arm.
However, when Wu Huaien looked north again in a blink of an eye, he found that there had been a group of thousands of soldiers on the shore and rushed towards this place. Behind them, there were continuous Tang soldiers jumping off the ship, like a stream entering the river, and merged into a large number of people, with at least thousands of people. On the river behind, many Chu warships had already leaned on their own warships, and soldiers wielding swords and soldiers jumped onto the ship and chopped and slashed.
From the beginning, Lin Feng was considered dead. I really don’t know how he knew he had an ambush! Wu Huaien sighed in annoyance, and couldn’t decide for a moment how to issue the next order.
The beaten commander covered his face and winked at the guards. The guards rushed forward and dragged Wu Huaien to leave.
After Wu Huai'en struggled for a few times, he stopped exerting force. He just covered his unteared sleeves in front of his face, blocking his face that was red from humiliation.
The soldiers on both sides of his left and right were entangled by enemy troops, and the more than 10,000 infantry on the middle battlefield were also passively beaten. Even if the troops were dispatched to retreat, they could only delay the failure time; on the water, one hundred warships were all empty ships against one hundred enemy ships loaded with enemy soldiers, and the opponent had successfully launched it, and it would definitely be a situation where people were forced to eat. The general trend of the battlefield was really irreversible!
The two hundred personal guards under the command stage immediately hugged Wu Huaien on the horse, passed by the camp, and fled in a hurry.
Lin Feng was very leisurely and climbed onto the rebuilt platform again, took out his telescope to observe in the distance.
"Wu Huaien ran away!" Lin Feng observed this situation immediately and immediately handed the telescope to Liu Renshan, who was smiling beside him. He immediately loudly ordered the children around him to send an order: "Tell the Han army ahead that Wu Huaien ran away, and the surrenders will not be killed!"
Li Congqian and the others shouted happily, jumping down to pass the order.
The slogan "Wu Huai'en runs away, the surrender will not be killed" was first shouted from the soldiers of the crossbow formation, and accompanied by the cheers, it soon spread throughout the battlefield.
The first one to turn around and escape from the battlefield were the Han army infantry in the middle. In front of them were the arrow crossbow formation that could not be rushed, and in the middle there was a group of cavalry "Xiaoqiang" who was like a stick. The enemy's new force would immediately surround him. If he didn't run away at this time, he would never have a chance.
The soldiers were always defeated! In addition to the left wing of the coalition forces, because they were surrounded by the first group, the hopeless Han soldiers had to stop fighting and surrender, the Han soldiers on the middle battlefield, as well as the Han soldiers on the right wing, who had no enemies around them, turned around and fled.
It took only three hours to come in full force, and the Southern Han army, who thought it was sure to win, was defeated!
At this time, Lin Feng and Liu Renshan walked off the platform, crossed the battlefield, and quickly found Ma Jiwei, who was only a few dozen of his subordinates left.
Ma Jiwei was covered in blood at this time and was stabbed with his left arm, but the smile on his face proved that he did not take this injury seriously at all.
"General Ma, how are his injuries?" Lin Feng asked caringly.
"It's just skin trauma! General Xie Lin cares! Lord Liu, General Lin, this battle is so exciting! We won in a blink of an eye!" Ma Jiwei grinned.
"Can you still persist? Can you organize a cavalry to quickly pursue Wu Huai'en?" Lin Feng asked politely.
"Of course, I have to avenge these heroic cavalry brothers who died in battle!" Ma Jiwei immediately restrained his smile and gritted his teeth and said hatred.
More and more Han troops were fleeing, and more Tang troops came from the ship to support him. As one went up and down, more and more trapped Han troops chose to surrender, and were immediately disarmed, gathered together, and knelt on the ground.
Soon, there were no more Han soldiers fighting stubbornly on the three battlefields.
Lin Feng and Liu Renshan immediately gathered the leading generals. After consultation on the spot, they immediately divided 8,000 soldiers to rush back to Guizhou City, control the city, block all northbound passages, and strictly prohibited anyone from passing; special forces, elite troops and the Sinzi Battalion attacked the Han army in a dispersed manner to inquire about the situation of the deserter of the Han army; 80 million Tang Dynasty new forces continued to pursue; 2,000 new forces rushed to Mengzhou and jointly with Xu Qiong to raid the Han army under Mengzhou City; other soldiers detained prisoners, cleaned the battlefield, and then took a break and attacked from both water and land to Zhaozhou and Hezhou.
