Chapter 931: Defeat is like a mountain

Hong Xiuquan's whole person was frozen on the horse, and his eyes and expression seemed to have seen the most incredible scene in the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

He couldn't accept this cruel fact, his 40,000 male soldiers who had been prepared for a long time were easily defeated by the strange shield cavalry of the Wei army!

As soon as the 40,000 Chinese army was defeated, the Wei army's iron cavalry took advantage of the situation and came straight to the Chinese army where he Hong Xiuquan was, he had no choice but to escape, otherwise he would be crushed by the iron cavalry.

But if he, the king of heaven, escapes, the main army of more than 100,000 people who are attacking the Wei camp in front of him, will the army's morale collapse, and the whole army will be annihilated here.

"Yang Xiuqing!" Frightened, Hong Xiuquan glared at the East King beside him with a hoarse voice.

Although there was no questioning or angry reprimand, the sentence "Yang Xiuqing" full of anger was enough to show Hong Xiuquan's disappointment and anger now.

Yang Xiuqing's extremely conceited expression had also collapsed at this moment, replaced by a frightened and dazed look, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

Obviously, the most outstanding commander of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom couldn't figure out how such an incredible cavalry could exist in the Wei army at this moment, and use such incredible and unheard of tactics to defeat his 40,000 male soldiers.

Yang Xiuqing, who was in shock, was suddenly woken up by Hong Xiuquan, her body shook violently, and her eyes suddenly flashed with panic and guilt.

It's just that the look of guilt is only a flash, and Yang Xiuqing immediately said sadly: "The loyal king is so bold, he dares to retreat from the battle, and spoils the overall layout of the minister, the king of heaven, the minister really didn't expect that Li Xiucheng is also a greedy person who is afraid of death!" ”

Of course, Yang Xiuqing would not admit that it was his own mistake, and he really put the responsibility on Li Xiucheng.

There is no way, who let Li Xiucheng indeed take the initiative to defeat and retreat, although anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Li Xiucheng does not retreat, the whole army will be wiped out in the end, and the whole battle is still the fate of failure.

It's just that Li Xiucheng retreated without authorization, and Yang Xiuqing had to put the black pot on his head, and no one had anything to say.

Hong Xiuquan's anger was suffocated by Yang Xiuqing's shrewd discernment, and he couldn't blame Yang Xiuqing anymore, and his anger had nowhere to vent, so he could only vent it on Li Xiucheng's body.

He looked at Li Xiucheng's defeated army who was fleeing here, gritted his teeth in his mouth, and scolded with hatred: "Li Xiucheng, you greedy for life and afraid of death, you dare to disobey my orders and flee without permission, how can you be worthy of your title of 'loyalty'!" ”

Just when Hong Xiuquan was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, a large number of defeated soldiers had fled, and the rolling iron cavalry of the Wei State was crushing over, and he was about to rush in.

At this time, Wei Changhui was anxious, and shouted anxiously: "Heavenly King, the general trend has gone, please evacuate this place quickly, and put the holy body first." ”

Hong Xiuquan gritted his teeth and said: "I am the great god of the Yellow Heaven, how can I be scared away by the demon soldiers of the Wei State, I will not retreat, I would rather die than retreat!" ”

Hong Xiuquan wanted to save face, and refused to retreat, but Wei Changhui and other generals were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they didn't know what to do.

Yang Xiuqing's eyes rolled slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "The Heavenly King is invincible, invincible, naturally he will not be defeated, today's small defeat is just because Li Xiucheng fled without a fight." Even if we are defeated today, as long as there is the King of Heaven, under the command of the King of Heaven, why worry that we can't make a comeback to avenge today's revenge, and ask the King of Heaven to put the Holy Body and the Holy Cause of Heaven first. ”

Yang Xiuqing's words were tantamount to paving the steps for Hong Xiuquan, making him finally feel much better.

Seeing that Wei Qi was about to rush in, Hong Xiuquan's eyes also flashed with panic, and he immediately snorted coldly, and said proudly: "The king of the east is reasonable, if there is no loyal king, I will undoubtedly win today, let that Tao demon be proud for a few days, and he will ask him to repay the shame of today's defeat tenfold!" ”

After that, Hong Xiuquan ordered the whole army to retreat south, and he turned his horse to go first.

Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for the hundreds of thousands of troops of the former army Shi Dakai and Xiao Chaogui to withdraw, they rushed to follow Hong Xiuquan and leave first.

Bell Bell Bell -

The sound of gold sounded, and the order to withdraw troops was finally issued.

A few hundred steps away, the Wei camp wall is on the first line.

The Taiping army had paid nearly 30,000 dead and wounded, and the corpses were stacked nearly as high as a zhang outside the camp wall, almost level with the Wei army barracks.

Thousands of holy soldiers of the Taiping Army, under the urging of Shi Dakai and Xiao Chaogui, climbed the thick mountain of corpses and condescendingly launched an offensive against the Wei army.

As far as the eye can see, the wall of the Wei military camp, which stretches for several miles, is already crumbling, and the collapse is only a matter of sight.

Looking at the situation that the camp was about to be broken, Shi Dakai's young face finally appeared with a confident and relieved smile, and he muttered: "Hold on for a while, you can break through the camp wall, I, Shi Dakai, can finally use a big victory to wash away the defeat of the last army, and rebuild my prestige in the kingdom of heaven......"

Thinking of this, Shi Dakai's spirit was even more perked, and the war knife in his hand was raised high, just to inspire the soldiers to work harder.

Before the words could be spoken, Shi Dakai suddenly heard a panicked cry coming from behind him.

His body was shocked, and he looked back in a hurry, and was instantly stunned.

In Shi Dakai's round eyes, he was shocked to see that Li Xiucheng's army, which was originally blocking the cavalry of the Wei army, had collapsed, and was driven away by the Wei army's iron cavalry and fled.

"The troops of King Chung have long been prepared to guard against cavalry, how can they still be defeated!?" Shi Dakai's expression changed drastically, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

And what made him even more mentally devastated was that the Holy Banner of the Heavenly King was located, and he quickly fled to the south, and then the golden sound of retreating troops sounded in his ears.

The Chinese army was defeated, and the Heavenly King fled first, which meant that his hundreds of thousands of attacking troops were all exposed to the Wei army's iron cavalry, and no matter whether he retreated or not, he would immediately suffer a major defeat.

"Damn, our plan is so thorough, it's still difficult to know about the Wei army, the potter's military methods, it's so ......"

Shi Dakai, who was shocked, suddenly looked back and looked at the "Wei" character imperial flag in the Wei camp.

He seemed to be able to see how under that banner, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty stood majestically, calmly laid out and commanded, and used godlike military means to complete this miraculous victory.

Suddenly, Shi Dakai fought a deep cold war, and an unprecedented fear swept through his body, making him fall into a deep fear of the potter.

In the moment when he lost his mind, the Taiping army had already seen the defeat of the Chinese army and the withdrawal of the Heavenly King, and also heard the rapid sound of withdrawing troops.

The holy soldiers of the Taiping Army, who were originally high-spirited and fanatical like beasts, had fanatical ** in their minds, as if the medicinal properties were eliminated in an instant, and the instinct of fear and fear returned to their hearts.

Then, their fighting spirit collapsed.

Then they jumped down from the mountain of corpses, pushing me and shoving, desperately fleeing to the south.

The main force of the Taiping Army, which was more than 100,000, collapsed.

Looking back at the defeated army, Shi Dakai's eyes were filled with grief and indignation, he sighed, and sighed helplessly: "Today's battle is related to the luck of the kingdom of heaven, such a critical battle, the king of heaven and the king of the east have no courage to fight to the death, it seems that my luck in the kingdom of heaven is really going to be exhausted......"

After sighing, even though Shi Dakai was unwilling, he knew that he had no power to return to the sky, so he had to turn his horse and flee.

Shi Da was defeated, Xiao Chaogui also followed the defeat, and more than 100,000 Taiping troops collapsed and retreated.

In the Wei camp, the soldiers of the Wei army, who were struggling to support, saw the sudden withdrawal of the enemy army, and when they looked from afar, they found by the morning light that their army's iron cavalry division had miraculously killed the enemy's back.

The soldiers of the Great Wei who survived the bloody battle immediately realized that the balance of victory in this offensive and defensive battle had been completely tilted to this side.

For a time, the morale of the generals of the three armies was greatly boosted, and the sound of cheering and jumping resounded throughout the clouds.

"It turned out that General Ma's cavalry corps actually defeated the enemy army with a tortoiseshell shield array and spears, this kind of cavalry corps, the minister is simply unheard of, no wonder Your Majesty has the certainty of victory!" Chang Yuchun looked at the potter in surprise, and the admiration was written on his face.

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, looked at the Ma Chao Iron Cavalry Legion that swept through the thousands of armies, and sighed with relief: "The spear and shield cavalry of the Ma family has shown its power in the south, it is really not easy, Ma Mengqi, you, my brother-in-law, really did not disappoint me......"

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has been defeated, should we take advantage of the situation to pursue!" Chang Yuchun had already clenched the tiger head gun in his hand, and his eyes were spewing with murderous fire.

The potter's fire of war also erupted like a volcano, took a deep breath, pointed at the defeated enemy army with the war knife in his hand, and proudly shouted: "The enemy army has been defeated, the time for counterattack has come, the soldiers of Great Wei, attack me on all fronts, and kill all the traitors!" ”

"Kill all the traitors—"

"Kill all the traitors—"

100,000 soldiers roared in unison, and the sound of killing shattered the heavens and the earth, making the wind and clouds change color.

The war drums of the attack shook the sky, and the camp gates were opened one after another, and on the battle line that stretched for several miles, 100,000 Wei soldiers attacked on all fronts, climbing over the mountain of corpses outside the camp, like a torrent of broken embankments, carrying the anger of the counterattack, and rolling towards the defeated enemy army.

Xiang Yu, Wei Chigong, Mu Guiying, Qin Qiong, Chang Yuchun, a member of the generals, took the lead, rode up, and the immortal martial arts were unleashed, and all the enemies who chased them were all smashed.

After the long tide of the Great Wei Xiong Division, after the attack, it left countless enemy corpses behind, trampled countless enemy battle flags, and moved forward, wantonly harvesting the heads of the Taiping rebels.

The entire wilderness was stained with blood and turned into a killing ground for Shura, and tens of thousands of male and female enemies were ruthlessly cut to the ground.

In the midst of the chaos, the potter was also galloping on his horse, and the golden cloak behind him flew like a flame.

Where the blade swept, the heads of countless Taiping soldiers were slashed into the air by him, and the splatters of blood stained the golden robes red.

In front, Ma Chao's cavalry corps had already broken into a part and came from west to east, blocking the enemy's escape route and buying time for the pursuit of the main infantry army.

The potter is indomitable, slaughtering into the chaos army, reaping the heads of the enemy like a god of death.

In the blood mist, his bloodshot eagle eyes suddenly searched for Shi Dakai's figure.
