Chapter Thirty-Five: Can't Let Him Go Back
The silver waves are well-trained and maintain a large formation during the charge, and are not scattered.
Of course, the so-called charge does not mean rushing forward with all your strength. In that case, it is easy to lose strength when fighting and be defeated by the enemy.
In fact, they are walking in small steps, and the military term is called "in a row and running". Generally, every two or three hundred steps, they will stop to organize the formation. This is the main reason why the enemy often runs away in the defeat war. You have to wear armor.
If you chase the enemy, and the defeated soldiers will even lose their equipment, take off their armor and run away. How can you catch up?
The Tianxiong Army is well-trained and almost all veterans are. They know how to control speed, align the formation, and properly distribute physical strength. Therefore, they don’t need to stop and organize the queue, and they just kill in front of Liang Jun.
In fact, the Liang army still has time, but the morale they were depressed and thought of withdrawing the camp instead of fighting in an array.
Nearly nine thousand infantrymen in the left wing of Tianxiong Army were inserted directly into the Liang army formation like a knife cutting tofu, without encountering any resistance.
The bucket was kicked over, the warrior was chopped down to the ground, and there were screams and screams everywhere.
The Xiongwei army completely lost its fighting spirit, and everyone rushed to escape. Occasionally, a few generals gathered soldiers to resist, and they were quickly submerged in the steel jungle of the Xia army.
A great defeat was almost a replica of the defeat of Dou Jiande in the early years of the State Dynasty.
They were both wearing armor and lined up for a day, and they were both tired and hungry and scrambled to drink water. They were also killed in a mess, which was terrible.
Zhu Quanzhong's eyes were so loud that he looked on the high platform in the camp. Ten thousand soldiers were driven everywhere by the Xia thieves like sheep driving them, and they were defeated.
His heart is bleeding.
There is not much capital, but I didn’t expect that a large amount of money will be lost here. What should I do in the future?
No one could answer his question, and the soldiers of Xiongwei Army rushed to the barracks like a tide.
The narrow trench bridge and the camp gate became a "place where military strategists must fight for". The sergeant soldiers pushed and kicked each other. Some people kept falling into the trench, covered with bamboo sticks and caltrops, screaming in terrible pain.
Some people ran into the pit in panic and cried and asked someone to come to save him.
Someone rushed to the antler gun and was about to bypass it, but the people behind kept pushing and rushing forward, and actually squeezed them to the blade of the gun. The thick and long antler gun was covered with corpses, and blood was flowing all over the ground, as if they were sending it out.
Silent mockery: This is the equipment used to deal with enemy cavalry or stolen battalion soldiers. It actually connects many of our own fleeing soldiers, which is simply a big deal.
The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army slowly consumed the physical strength, morale, and formation of the bandit army, and kept their swords and guns in their hands, easily reaping the lives of the enemy.
The cavalry also dispatched, and the guards' personal army and the iron cavalry's right wing were continuously inserted into the defeated soldiers and divided them.
The deserter was in a panic and did not distinguish the direction. He ran in the opposite direction when he saw an enemy. This is human instinct and has nothing to do with anything else.
The cavalry skillfully used their horn bows and swords to "plan" the escape direction of the defeated soldiers, and cooperated with the infantry to wipe them out one by one.
This was originally a job for military cavalry, but the main force of the Tianxiong Army had not arrived yet, so they could only make a guest appearance by the Iron Cavalry and the Guards. They made a very good guest appearance, fully reflecting the professional quality of military cavalry, without much effort
, but achieved a better effect than directly rushing to the enemy.
"Xiongwei Army is finished!" Jing Xiang closed his eyes in pain.
The defeated soldiers rushed into the camp frantically, and no other troops could attack and rescue, so they could only watch them slaughtered by the Xia people.
After three or four thousand people fled in one after another, the soldiers guarding the camp began to shoot arrows. Some of the arrows prevented the Xia soldiers from approaching, while some shot at their own soldiers.
After the dense death talisman was issued, the trench bridge screamed and the corpses were piled up like mountains.
Some people were shot and fell into the trench, some were shot to death on the trench bridge, some were not dead for a while, and they cursed at the camp. They were still fighting side by side in the morning, so they were now facing each other. What's the reason?
Some people knelt in front of the trench, bursting into tears, asking them to go in.
But it has no effect. After clearing the defeated soldiers in front of the camp gates, large sergeants rushed out, gathered spears and fired their bows and crossbows at once, shooting the Xia army cavalry who were accidentally approaching too close to them. The others cleaned up the others.
The corpse on the trench bridge was removed, and then slowly retreated into the camp, pulled up the trench bridge, and closed the camp gate.
There were nervous guards everywhere on the village wall. They were holding long crossbows and spears, staring at the Xia soldiers who were chasing the disabled, and were very worried.
No one wants to die. If someone insists on dying, then let others die, it has nothing to do with me.
Half an hour later, the noise on the battlefield gradually subsided.
Li Lin, the commander of the left wing of the Tianxiong Army, ordered the troops to slowly gather and maintain the formation.
The cavalry were still fighting. There were only scattered defeated soldiers left, which was not worth dispatching large troops. Their mission was to "drive the sheep", that is, to drive these people together and then make them abandon their weapons and surrender.
Zhao Ye, a guard's personal army, led 3,000 people out of the camp, responsible for cleaning the battlefield and detaining prisoners.
This battle was fought vigorously, and conservatively estimated that more than 3,000 were beheaded and more than 3,000 people were captured.
The Xiongwei army fled back almost this number, but it is difficult for them to fight in a system in a short period of time. It would be nice to be able to go to the village wall to defend after the shelter.
The Liang army had only more than 10,000 troops left, and they were already at an absolute disadvantage.
*******
Under the setting sun, a large group of sergeants are advancing eastward quickly.
They did not care about horsepower at all, and they came completely in the direction of running to kill the horses.
Ten thousand people in the left wing of the Flying Dragon Army, at the moment when the Tianxiong Army launched an attack, they bypassed from the north and south sides, ran for dozens of miles, and arrived outside Bajiao Town when the sun set.
Bajiao Town is a military town with a city. At this time, about 6,000 troops were stationed. Except for a small number of range scouts, almost all of them were infantry.
The defending general Liu Chongba worked with Du Yanqiu, Wang Yanzhang and Liu Yan to defeat Xia Army.
Now that the Xia army has scattered, the rest of the people have been added to various divisions. Among the few people with good relationships back then, Wang Yanzhang got a commander and guarded the throne in the japonica. Zhao Yan returned to Xuzhou, and joined the clan to Xia, and Du Yan.
The ball was also shot in Xia, and I heard that it was doing well. Liu Chongba brought more than a hundred confidants of the Xia army into the Dragon and Tiger Army. Most of them came from the Changzhi Army. Therefore, as the backbone of the army, Liu Chongba also became the commander and commander.
Six thousand tribes.
After the Feilong Army dismounted, the defenders were as if they were facing a great enemy and were on guard.
Qi Zizhang shook his head. The Liang people did not take the initiative to attack when their positions were unstable. Either the guards were timid or the soldiers were not good.
"General Liu, don't guard it. Here is General Du Yanqiu and General Du's handwritten letter. You might as well read it." Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, a cavalry stepped forward and shot Du Yanqiu's letter into the city.
"The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army have the virtue of life, and the King of Xia is kind and righteous. He doesn't want to see you all die at the end of the sharp blade, so why not surrender?"
"The Changzhi Army has been destroyed. This is Zhu Youyu's general's flag, and all the troops will look at it."
"This is Changzhi Army Military Academy..."
The soldiers who persuaded surrender took turns to come forward like a carousel lantern and shouted with all their might.
The defenders heard the noise, but were quickly scolded.
Qi Zizhang laughed loudly, the thief was depressed and it was easy to defeat him.
At the same time, the Iron Cavalry, who had just defeated Xiongwei's army in the Wild Gou, was dispatched overnight after raising the horsepower.
Although they were nicknamed by the Xia army soldiers, they had the weakest combat effectiveness among the cavalry, but they were determined to work hard and worked hard, and they played a relatively large role. Well, the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army believed that their combat effectiveness was at least stronger than Dingnan Army.
The weakest one cannot defeat the cavalry of each army, but can't defeat your newly established Dingnan Army?
The Iron Cavalry's target was not Bajiao Town or Bianzhou. They were moving on all major and small roads leading to Bianzhou and even wilderness, firmly blocking the access.
This order was suggested by Niu Li, deputy envoy of Tianxiong Army. Zhe Siyu agreed and then led the team himself, skipping Liang Jun who was huddling in the camp and rushing backwards.
This is actually the customary style of the Xia army in recent years. Their tactics have changed dramatically compared to the earlier years. They were created based on the characteristics of the infantry in the Central Plains vassal states: roundabout interlude, delayed and retreating enemies
Army, create opportunities for the main infantry group.
This tactical grassland nation cannot play because they lack a strong infantry group, and the cavalry's frontal harassment and attacks on the tough side seem to have no effect on the warriors of the late Tang Dynasty. But in the hands of the Xia army, this tactic is simply playful.
The Liang army, who had a lot of money, had a combination of infantry and cavalry, had everything going well, and had almost lost all the cavalry.
"Zhu Quanzhong can run north and south, but not east." On the banks of the river in the dark, Zhe Siyu assigned orders to the military academies under his tent: "Before the war, the king said, Zhu Quanzhong gave him this
If you have the opportunity, you can't let him go back. If you still ask him to return to Bianzhou in this battle, I will apologize to the king, and you will not be able to get good results. When the ministry is reorganized, wait for the number to be removed."
The generals and the school were shocked when they heard this.
The number was revoked, but it was not just a simple name change. There were too many interests involved. If it was all merged by silver guns, everyone could wipe their necks, which was really embarrassing.
After the order was issued, the schoolmen rushed back to their respective corps' garrisons.
Zhe Siyu thought about it, called a messenger and ordered: "Go to Zhongmu quickly and ask the king to recruit the guards and the cavalrymen. The Tu Group soldiers in Henan Prefecture who have horses will also send them to block the eastern border together.
Ten or 20,000 cavalry, pestering Zhu Quanzhong hard, I will definitely not let him escape."
The messenger didn't say anything, and took the letter that Zhe Siyu had written in a hurry and left.
At Zhongmu forty miles to Bajiao Town, the messenger arrived soon after three or four horses.
After reading it, Shao Shude made a decision on the spot and agreed to Zhe Siyu's request. Not only that, he also ordered the Tianxiong Army and the National Guarding Army, who were still rushing to Zhongmu, to allow the military cavalry to ride on horseback and quickly go to the Bajiao Town area.
There are about seven or eight thousand cavalry in these two parts, and they are all handed over to Zhe Siyu to command.
A total of more than 20,000 cavalry were deployed on the east side, for fear that they would not be able to stop Zhu Quanzhong from running back to Bianzhou.
But Shao Shude was still a little worried. At this critical moment, he also took a gamble and ordered: "Kecheng, take your personal soldiers, Qianqianqi to Bajiao Town and return to the command of the Zhe Army. If you see the Liang army's cavalry eastward, you can see the Liang army cavalry eastward.
If you escape, you will stop me even if you fight your life, and you must not let anyone go."
Yelikcheng was a little surprised, but hesitated.
