Chapter 2244 The Road to Escape
At this moment, Tao Huang was really called Tiantian and was not effective. Seeing that the Wei army's pursuers were getting closer and closer, there were fewer and fewer Wu soldiers behind him who could block the gun for him. Tao Huang was completely panicked in his heart. Could it be that he would die here today?
Tao Huang did not escape directly towards Jieyang, but fled to the direction of Qingmu Mountain, because in Jieyang, Tao Huang did not stay behind any army. Even if he fled to Jieyang, can the bamboo fence wall in Jieyang block the fierce Wei cavalry?
Tao Huang did not dare to hand over his life to such a broken city to protect him. He took the lead in fleeing to the direction of Qingmu Mountain. At least Tao Huang was still staying in Qingmu Mountain with three thousand people. Only by relying on these three thousand people could Tao Huang have the chance to block the pursuit of the Wei army.
But before he could reach Qingmu Mountain, he saw a bunch of people coming towards him halfway. At first, when he saw someone in front of him, Tao Huang and others immediately became more nervous, afraid that it was the people intercepted by the Wei army.
But after a closer look, although the visitor did not hold a flag, he was still wearing a blue military uniform of Wu Jun, which was completely different from the yellow military uniform of Wei Jun. It seemed that he should be the Wu Jun.
But this team was not large in number, only a few hundred people, and they were all disguised and their armor was not in order. They looked like they were defeated. Tao Huang immediately felt like they were defeated. Needless to mention that this team was the troops stationed in the Wu army in Qingmu Mountain. Judging from their appearance, they also suffered a defeat.
Sure enough, the man approached the front, and the current general, rolled down and fell down in front of Tao Huang, crying bitterly. It was neither someone else, but Wang Shun, the side general who led his troops to garrison Qingmu Mountain.
It turned out that when the Wei army attacked Qiniuling, they also sent troops to attack Aoki Mountain.
Unlike the pure cavalry that attacked Qiniuling, when the Wei army attacked Qingmu Mountain, the Wei army used mixed infantry and cavalry troops, with about 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry.
Even if the Wei army did not dispatch all the cavalry to attack Qingmushan, the strength of the Wei army was still enough to outweigh the Wu army.
There were only three thousand people stationed in Qingmu Mountain, all of which were infantry. The disadvantage of the number was second, and the most important thing was that the gap in combat effectiveness was too obvious. The Wei army launched only one attack and completely destroyed the Wu army's defense line. The defeat of the Wu army was simply terrible.
This cannot be called a battle at all. It was simply a unilateral massacre. During the battle, the Wei army completely destroyed the Wu army. Wang Shun saw that it was impossible to match it at all. He could only lead a few people to turn around and escape, and escape before the Wei army surrounded him.
Wang Shun originally wanted to go to Niuling to join Tao Huang, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Tao Huang halfway. Judging from the situation, Tao Huang was even worse than himself. You must know that Tao Huang had 7,000 people on the side, and his troops were more than twice that of his side, but now there are only a few hundred people left, which is not much better than his side.
The people on the Qingmu Mountain were Tao Huang's last reliance, but he was defeated by the Wei army. This time he was really defeated too badly. Ten thousand people were lost in just half a day. How could it be a word of miserable?
However, at least there were no pursuers behind Wang Shun, which made Tao Huang secretly call him lucky. If there were another Wei cavalry here to chase him, Tao Huang would be done with attacks from front to back.
But even the current situation is not better, and the Wei army behind him is completely stubborn. Along the way, he has eroded many remaining Wu soldiers. According to this situation, Tao Huang had no chance to escape back to Panyu.
But if he didn't escape, he would sit and wait for death. Tao Huang changed to another horse. He was eight feet tall, strong and strong. The war horse carrying him was already overwhelmed and could die at any time.
Aoki Mountain must not be able to go, and it would be meaningless to escape to Jieyang, so Tao Huang could only escape to Panyu. Although the journey was long, he really had no other way.
But the Wei cavalry was determined to eat the weight and just bit Tao Huang tightly, just like a piece of dog skin plaster, which could not be shaken off no matter where Tao Huang fled, no matter which direction they fled, they always followed each other like shadows and chased them relentlessly.
Along the way, Tao Huang didn't dare to stop. He stayed overnight in the morning and ran away with his life. The fewer and fewer Wu soldiers around him were gradually eroded by the Wei army. However, the pursuers behind him were still very large, with the sound of horse hooves rumbling. Tao Huang was frightened. He didn't know when this road to escape would end?
Originally, Tao Huang led the army to Jieyang this time and led 10,000 troops. What a glory and grandeur it was. At that time, Tao Huang was full of energy and confidence, and had a look of no other than me.
But after the battle, he was beaten to pieces and almost destroyed the entire army. This huge psychological gap made Tao Huang fall from the peak to the bottom in an instant. Only then did he understand what it means to be a frog in the well and arrogance.
Tao Huang followed his father to Jiaozhou since childhood. Tao Ji was the governor of Jiaozhou and dominated the military and political power of Jiaozhou alone. The Tao family's status in Jiaozhou was almost the same as the previous scholars. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the Tao family was the local emperor of Jiaozhou.
Therefore, Tao Huang developed the habit of being arrogant, domineering and arrogant since childhood. The eldest son of God, his second son, now commanding 10,000 troops to fight, which made him even more proud and believed that the world was invincible.
But reality tells him, what does it mean to have heaven beyond the sky and there are people outside the world, and the combat effectiveness of the Wei army is not comparable to that of the Jiaozhou soldiers. Not to mention that the Wei army has an advantage in military strength, even if both sides have the same amount of troops, the Wei army will deal with the Wu army, which is the same as the abuse of food. The Wu army has no power to fight back at all.
Tao Huang hasn't figured out how he was defeated yet. Didn't the military book say that the formation of spears is the best battle formation to restrain cavalry? Tao Huang has completely followed the requirements of military tactics and arranged a perfect spear formation, but why did he still lose in a mess?
Compared with the Wei army, the combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhou soldiers is really a world of difference. Tao Huang hasn't figured out what's going on. The Wu army's formation has been chaotic by the Wei army. All Tao Huang's dreams have disappeared like bubbles.
Even his life seems to be unwilling to let go of Wei Jun. Tao Huang looked at some of the followers around him, and a desperate feeling arose.
Will he die here today?
