Chapter 2150 Pursuit
In addition to the team behind, other people who can crawl out of the gates of hell will also have more or less wounds on their bodies.
As strong as Bu Xie, he was also caught in an arrow, so naturally no one else was better. The most exaggerated one was hit by more than a dozen arrows on his body, like a hedgehog, but he was not dead. He even ran to safety. I think no arrow hit his vital point, so he saved his life and came back.
The reason why the Shu army was beaten so badly was that in addition to the terrain, it was naturally the weapons used by the Wei army.
Nowadays, the continuous crossbows are the standard weapon of the Wei army. All the troops are equipped with continuous crossbows. Although the Xiling Army of the Infantry Association surrendered to Shu, almost all the weapons and equipment used are from the previous Wu Kingdom. Therefore, in the Xiling Army, there are no weapons with relatively strong lethality such as continuous crossbows.
Now that the Xiling Army and the Wei Army are facing each other, in addition to the terrain and terrain, their weapons and equipment are also obviously at a disadvantage. It is not surprising that the situation on the battlefield is one-sided.
The Shu army was defeated one after another, and even the intercepted front troops turned around and tried to break through the Wei army's arrow barrier and meet with the main force who fled.
Shi Bao's attack was intercepted in half, and the part of the Shu army that encountered a major blow was the part of the troops in the middle of the Shu army, and the people in the front and back teams were relatively few of them.
However, it is easier for the back team to escape from the battle and the front team to escape from the battlefield, and it is not so easy for the front team to be in the right place. Since this passage is the only nearby passage, once it is cut off, the front team’s men have no way to return, so even if they are braved by the rain of arrows, they must return. Otherwise, without food and grass or support, they will eventually be annihilated by the Wei army.
The Shu army fought to break through the siege. Since they were already prepared at this time, most of the Shu soldiers would wear shields or look for other covers to escape the attack of arrows.
When Shi Bao saw that he would never give this Shu army a chance to escape, he immediately ordered the drum to make the Wei army attack in full force and intercept the Shu army.
So the Wei army launched a large-scale attack, and the ambush turned into an encirclement and annihilation battle. When the Wei army rushed down from the top of the mountain with great momentum, the deafening shouts scared the Shu army. They were intercepted by the Wei army and had no hope of breaking through, so they could only raise their hands to surrender obediently.
In addition to some of the Shu army that operated earlier, most of the front troops were annihilated, and more than half of the surrendered people accounted for. It can be seen that at the critical moment of life and death, the Xiling Army had long been disintegrated and collapsed without fighting.
Because he was not prepared in advance, he was in chaos after being ambushed. The failure of the Shu army was obviously destined to escape. Bu Xie could escape a life. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could not help but sigh heavily, give up the idea of counterattack, and ordered the remaining troops to retreat quickly to the mountain village, trying to resist with danger and carry out the final stubborn resistance.
While Shi Bao was pursuing and intercepting the Shu army, he also sent Tian Hu to lead all his troops to pursue Bu Xie, and how much he could annihilate before Bu Xie fled back to the mountain village.
Although the Wei army won a great victory in this battle, it was almost impossible to wipe out the Shu army. A considerable number of Shu army would flee back to the mountain village. Next, they would inevitably become frightened birds, defend the mountain village to the death and refuse to fight.
Although it was said that at least half of the Shu army's troops were defeated in this battle, and the Wei army's subsequent attack was much less difficult, since these parodies were set up in a critical position, the remaining troops of the Shu army still had a certain amount of resistance, and the subsequent battle might not be easy.
That's why Shi Bao asked Tian Hu to lead his army to pursue it with all his might. Now that the Shu army has suffered a great defeat, the morale of the army is disintegrating, and he is determined to escape to the mountain village. Naturally, there is no resistance. If Tian Hu continues to chase and kill all the way, he will have some results.
At this time, if you annihilate the Shu army more, the subsequent battle will be easier.
After the Bu Xie issued the order to retreat, the Shu army, which could save one's life, started a rushing mode. The camp closest to the Shu army was five or six miles away. After escaping from the Wei army's ambush circle, the Shu army did not dare to stay for a moment, and they all ran wildly. Only by escaping back to the mountain village could they feel safe.
Of course, some of them had good physical strength, so they ran ahead. After running for a mile or two, those who were poor physical strength were so tired that they were out of breath and could no longer run, so they had to take a breath and leave.
Knowing that the Wei army had actually chased after him at this time, the Shu soldiers who wanted to take a rest saw that the situation was not good, they could only grit their teeth and run again. At this time, it was a critical moment of life and death. If they didn't run harder, their lives would be gone.
The pursuit troops sent by the Wei army were naturally the fastest. Shi Bao did not send Wang Hui. After Wang Hui's cavalry abandoned his horse, he became heavy armored infantry. Heavy armored infantry can fight tough battles and defensive battles, but the pursuit battles cannot be fought. Therefore, Shi Bao could only send the right guard general Tian Hu to lead the light armored infantry of the right guard camp to pursue.
The biggest feature of light-armored infantry is that they are highly mobile, flexible and agile, and fast. It is naturally the most appropriate for them to take on the pursuit mission. Tian Hu led the Right Guard to advance lightly and chase them all the way, and soon caught up with the Shu soldiers who were behind.
The Shu army's escape along the way was so embarrassing. They threw away their armor and ran around. The mountain road itself was not easy to walk. The road was rugged and narrow, and so many deserters were scrambling to run away, so the road naturally became crowded.
At this time, after the Wei army's pursuit approached, the Shu army became even more chaotic. They had no intention of resisting and were only thinking about escaping. What they hated the most at this time was probably that their parents gave them less legs.
The speed of the Wei army was faster than the Shu army imagined. They were both infantry, but the speed of the Wei army was as fast as the wind, and they all stepped as fast as flying. When they saw that their usual training volume was much greater than that of the Shu army. The Shu army just ran a little wildly for one or two miles, and was already out of breath.
Moreover, all the soldiers of the Wei army looked as usual, without breathing and without changing their colors, and had a lot of energy.
For the Wei army, running this path is basically equivalent to warm-up. Usually, they usually start with a heavy load on cross-country roads, so this distance is nothing to the Wei army.
Moreover, the Wei army usually carried dozens of kilograms of weight when training. Now they are completely light-fitting, so they are naturally relaxed. Although they started later than the Shu army, they soon caught up and chased behind the Shu army.
