Chapter 742: Tang will be willing to die

Yang Zhen soon discovered that the ratio of life exchange between the Shenwu army and the rebels reached one to one, which meant that every time a rebel soldier was killed, he would pay the life of a Shenwu soldier. This ratio was extremely difficult for him to bear, and this situation had not occurred since the formation of the Shenwu Army. According to the previous drills, once this situation is encountered, it should be evacuated as much as possible according to the situation at this time.

Tonight's operation is just a sneak attack, even if some people are left behind and the whole army withdraws, it will not have too much impact on the entire battle situation. But Yang Zhen was young and vigorous, and thought that the first defeat of the Shenwu Army must not come from his own hands, so he gritted his teeth and urged the whole army to increase the intensity of the assault.

At the same time, Yang Zhen pressed all the reserve forces up, leaving only more than 100 of his relatives to fall behind to supervise the battle.

According to the consistent requirements of the Shenwu Army, the first priority is to save his life because the generals must not fight in front of the battle. If the commander of an army fights desperately in front of the battle, once he is hit by a stray arrow, or unfortunately killed, the consequence will be the annihilation of the whole army. Therefore, even if Yang Zhen is anxious, he can only honestly stay behind the formation, observe the battlefield, and then convey the general order to make adjustments to the battlefield situation at any time.

The 10,000 Shenwu army was probably divided into five phalanxes, and they were horns with each other, although the rebels were brave, it was not easy to completely block them, let alone kill them.

As the fighting dragged on, so did the casualties on both sides.

Yin Ziqi was also tormented with Yang Zhen, although he successfully curbed the momentum of Tang Bing's advance, but the cost of casualties was too great, and if he continued to consume at this rate, he didn't have to wait until everyone died, but he was afraid that the morale of the army would be in danger of falling apart.

On the battlefield in the world, there will never be a situation where the last person is desperately killed, because once the casualties exceed 30%, the morale of the army is in danger of collapsing at any time. In this case, either a large number of people will surrender, or they will scatter and flee for thousands of miles.

Yin Ziqi has more than ten years of battlefield experience, and he knows all kinds of possible situations, does he really want to fight to this point?

The hesitation only lasted for a moment, and this time he led the army upstream, and if he lost the first battle, the blow to the morale of the army would be extremely serious. Therefore, he must not lose this battle at this time, and he cannot afford to lose.

"Order, transfer 10,000 troops, and attack the Tang soldiers from the flanks!"

Fighting 10,000 with 25,000 is another defensive position, and the winning rate has further increased.

This is Yin Ziqi's calculation, tonight at all costs, he will also defeat this night attack of the Tang soldiers!

Finally, Yang Zhen realized the danger, the two armies were deadlocked, the casualties were equal, once the rebels suddenly sent reinforcements, their own side would face an extremely dangerous situation, and even the whole army might be wiped out. Once both wings are also besieged, the possibility of a complete retreat is almost nil.

At this time, he had to start thinking about how to withdraw the men and horses from the stalemate battlefield.

Although the Shenwu Army's military formation was slow, it had the advantage that it could advance and retreat, and because it maintained a complete formation from beginning to end, even if it retreated, it would be difficult for the enemy to crush it. The only question is, when will we be able to disengage after such a fight and retreat?

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Zhen regretted greatly, he shouldn't have acted rashly and put 10,000 soldiers in danger.

The military order was issued, and the Shenwu Army began to retreat in an orderly manner, and Yin Ziqi, who was behind the battle formation, discovered Tang Bing's intentions as soon as possible, and a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seems that Tang Bing can't hold on to it first, and plans to retreat with his whole body?

However, he soon found that the Tang soldiers still maintained a complete military formation when they retreated, although the speed was slow, but they still had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the pursuers rushed up as if they were hitting their heads against a wall composed of swords and guns.

This is not the situation that Yin Ziqi expected. Now all he was counting on was the reinforcements transferred from the battalion, as long as those 10,000 horses cut off the back route of this Tang army, no matter what the price was, all these people would be annihilated.

At the same time, Yang Zhen's heart had already risen to his throat, and after realizing the danger he was facing, he put his personal guards in the position of the broken back, and there were nearly 2,000 people who dared to die with them.

After containing the rebels, Yang Zhen resolutely ordered that all the military formations immediately turn into columns and retreat at full speed while running!

Even though everyone was unwilling to leave the main general to retreat, the military orders in the Shenwu Army were like a mountain, and the soldiers could only grit their teeth and tears, and quickly turned into a column in the process of retreating, leaving the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Yang Zhen's strategy was very successful, the speed at which the Shenwu army turned into a column was extremely fast, this was the result of training countless times, once they spread their legs and ran wildly in the column, except for the cavalry, there was really no foot soldier who was their opponent. Moreover, it was dark night, and the combat effect of the cavalry was limited, and it was even more difficult to pursue the retreating enemy army.

The reinforcements of the rebels were unable to join the battlefield for a long time, and Yang Zhen always held his breath in his heart, and he finally became the first general to defeat the Shenwu Army after it became an army.

At this time, Yang Zhen had long been unable to care about the ban that the main general was not allowed to fight without authorization, and he rushed left and right in front of the battle with a Mo knife in his hand, relying on more than 100 guards on his side.

As a matter of fact, he already had the idea of dying on the battlefield, and how could he continue to remain in the army in the future as a general of the defeated army? The thought of the humiliation that was about to accompany him for the rest of his life made him feel painful. Rather than living a life in a nest, it is better to die on the battlefield at this time, at least leaving a reputation for sacrificing his life for the country.

Seeing the Shenwu Army quickly leaving the battlefield like a trick, Yin Ziqi was angry and anxious, because he was overconfident before, thinking that 15,000 could be firmly invincible, because the soldiers in the battalion did not concentrate on standby, but rested in batches to recuperate. As a result, the speed of mobilization of troops and horses is even slower. After the military order is issued, the troops must be assembled before they can go out of the camp to fight.

After these few steps, it is impossible to have a situation without an hour.

"The whole army presses up, kill all the Tang soldiers after the break, and kill them all!"

The green tendons on Yin Ziqi's neck burst out, and the fat in his mouth flew like this, how could it make people dishonored?

He soon discovered that a brave general in the army wearing iron armor rushed left and right with hundreds of relatives in the military formation, which made the morale of the more than 1,000 Tang soldiers who stayed behind the break great, and the Yan soldiers' offensive was blocked for a while.

At this moment, Yin Ziqi no longer watched the battle, urged the war horse to rush up, and the guards of the Chinese army also joined the battle array. In this way, he clearly told all the Yan soldiers in the battle formation that Yin Ziqi was already fighting side by side with them.

Suddenly, the morale of the Yan soldiers also followed Dasheng, and their brains surged up, gradually forming an encirclement of the Tang soldiers who stayed behind.

At this moment, Yang Zhen felt that the Mo knife in his hand weighed a thousand catties, and the continuous fighting had consumed most of his energy, and every time the Mo knife was swung, he felt that it was difficult to lift it up.

"Get out all the thunderbolts!"

His guards didn't use thunderbolts at the beginning of the engagement, and now it was the last time to come up with this killer weapon.

Yang Zhen originally wanted to ask them if they were afraid of death, but the battlefield was noisy, and how many people could hear it? He only hated that because of his recklessness, he had affected more than a thousand brothers.

The battlefield is so cruel that when the army retreats, someone will inevitably stay behind and break the rear, and those who stay behind will die.

What made them unwilling was that the main general actually stayed with them to die, and it would be a shame for the whole army to let the main general die in battle, which on the contrary aroused the heart of the soldiers after the decisive battle.

"General, it's time for us to break through, if we don't leave, when the traitor reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fly!

A lieutenant persuaded Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen was already determined to die, and he could see that the eyes of the people around him were red, and these countless eyes burned him like fire.

Suddenly, Yang Zhen burst into tears, if it was just him, it would not be a pity to die, but looking at the people full of hope, how could he involve them to die together?

The siege of the rebels has not yet been completed, and if they take the opportunity to break through now, even if a hundred people escape, it will be a hundred times stronger than dying here in vain.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

It's just that there is no one behind the break, and it is almost impossible to retreat in the melee between the two armies, but as long as they are withdrawn, there will always be someone who will get away with it.

Suddenly, a man pointed to the enemy army not far away and shouted:

"Look, isn't that the rebel banner?"

Yang Zhen moved suddenly, his heart jumped suddenly, and he was within the range of the Six Stone Bow, this was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"The Sharpshooter shoots the enemy general under that banner!"

Many of his guards are selected archers, and at this time, they listen to the order, bend their bows and arrows one by one, and shoot a salvo at the generals under the banner of the rebels.

At the same time, a rain of arrows also rose in the rebel formation, and smashed down on them. Yang Zhen couldn't dodge, and suddenly felt a heart-like pain in his body, and his eyes were black and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the guards around him quickly supported him.

When he opened his eyes again, Yang Zhen was calm in his heart, since it was his fate to die in the battle, wouldn't he be benevolent?

"Leave me alone, you all go, go!"

Yang Zhen knew that after being injured by the arrow, there was no hope of breaking through, so he simply didn't want to give up the hope of breaking through with his personal guards.

However, the guards were resolute, claiming that Yang Zhen would not leave, and they would dare to die together.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh until he burst into tears.

Soon, another rain of arrows came over......
