Chapter 716: A Small Victory
The escape of a group of soldiers, and a small group of heavy cavalry destroying the railings and entering the camp, was like opening a small opening in a dam, and a torrent of cavalry flowed into the Flying Tiger camp along the small opening, and expanded the small opening into a large opening.
When the number of heavy armored cavalry that entered the camp of the Flying Tiger Gang reached about 200, a large group of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Gang guarding the railing immediately dispersed, and they did not want to face the heavy armored cavalry who could only be killed, but could not be killed, so they immediately let out a frightened scream and fled towards the rear.
With the collapse of these soldiers, the rest of the soldiers who were still insisting on fighting also abandoned their opponents and fled towards the rear of the camp, and suddenly, the more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the Flying Tiger Gang's camp completely broke up and became a deserter, a deserter who attacked his own camp.
At this time, Zhao Hu also led 8,000 infantry to arrive smoothly and shouted: "Kill all the invaders and capture Lujiazhuang!" He divided into several squads, followed the scattered Flying Tiger Gang soldiers, and rushed towards the depths of the Flying Tiger Gang's camp, striving to expand the results of the battle, kill as many Flying Tiger Gang soldiers as possible, and reduce resistance for his next actions.
Looking at the scattered soldiers, Han Lei's face was ugly, and a slight chill was released on his body, which made several henchmen around him shiver involuntarily.
Seeing that the camp had been broken and his own soldiers had been dispersed, Han Lei knew that he had failed, and the other party only dispatched 2,000 heavy armored cavalry to break through the defense of his own camp and enter the inside of the camp, and it was impossible to rely on the 60,000 soldiers in the camp who were already in chaos to resist the attack of the opponent's army!
Looking at Han Lei, who was full of coldness, a henchman beside him hesitated for a while, and cautiously persuaded him: "My lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, since the army is defeated, we still hurry up and flee for our lives, wait until dawn, gather the remnants, and fight with the army of Zhaojiabao, and be ashamed of today." ”
Glancing at the henchman who persuaded him, Han Lei nodded lightly and said: "Well, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and today's defeat is because we don't know that Zhaojiabao actually has a team of 2,000 one-star warriors, composed of heavy armored cavalry, will fail, tomorrow we will find out the bottom of Zhaojiabao in detail, gather a large army to fight with it, and will completely destroy Zhaojiabao." ”
Looking at Han Lei, who had regained his calm complexion, several henchmen also calmed down and said in unison: "Your Excellency is wise!" ”
Han Lei, who had regained his calm, glanced at Zhao Hu, who was constantly chasing and killing his own rout under the protection of a small group of cavalry, and took his henchmen and dozens of personal guards to blend into the rout, and ran towards the temporary horse farm in the depths of the camp, preparing to escape from the camp on horseback, and look for an opportunity to take revenge another day.
Looking at the Flying Tiger Gang army that was constantly breaking and fleeing under the attack of his own soldiers, Zhao Hu's face showed an excited smile, and immediately led Zhao An and a small group of cavalry to follow behind the rout, using the weapons in his hands to drive the rout to attack the soldiers who were still resisting the Flying Tiger Gang, and take advantage of the situation to mercilessly kill those soldiers who dared to resist.
With the departure of Han Lei and his henchmen, the army of the Flying Tiger Gang suddenly fell into a leaderless state, and a group of soldiers who were still resisting gave up resistance, either kneeling and surrendering, or fleeing towards the depths of the camp with the rout, or directly stepping forward, climbing over the railing of the camp, taking advantage of the cover of night, and fleeing towards the outside of the camp.
That night, the Guards won a complete victory, killing 8,000 enemies, taking 30,000 prisoners, and obtaining countless supplies such as grain, grass, weapons, etc., while only more than 100 people were shot down and dismounted, and were injured to varying degrees, and no one died.
After dawn, after the guards rested for two hours, they handed over 30,000 prisoners and various supplies to the 20,000 young and strong reserves under the command of Zao Wou-ki.
Zhao Hu led the guards to Shangze Town, and before they had time to attack the city, they saw that the gate of Shangze Town was opened, and a small group of old and weak soldiers came out of the town, lined up in a neat queue, and stood at the gate of the gate, welcoming the guards into the city.
Seeing that the gate of Shangze Town opened automatically, Zhao Hu did not hesitate at all, raised his right hand, and the whole army stopped advancing, personally led more than a dozen personal guards, came to the gate of the town, and said to a small group of old and weak soldiers: "Who are you?" What about the Flying Tigers army in town? ”
"My lord, we are all guards of Shangze Town, and since we can't fight anymore, we were left here by the Flying Tiger Gang. As for the three thousand defenders of the Flying Tiger Gang, they had been ordered by Lord Han Lei a few hours ago to leave Shangze Town with a large number of baggage. Also, before Lord Han Lei left here, he had a letter left for Young Master Zhao Hu. ”
A gray-haired old man stood up, said with a respectful face, and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hu.
A cavalryman took the letter from the old man's hand and examined it carefully before respectfully handing it over to Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu took the letter, opened it, read it carefully for a moment, and sneered: "Okay, good, Phoenix Mountain decisive battle!" I'm down! ”
After speaking, Zhao Hu ordered a herald to return to Zhaojiabao and asked Zhao Wouji to lead 20,000 young men to escort a batch of supplies to Phoenix Mountain.
He didn't enter Shangze Town to rest for a while, and directly led the Guards to bypass Shangze Town and go in the direction of Phoenix Mountain.
In Phoenix Mountain, in the tent of the headquarters of the Flying Tiger Gang, a tall and sturdy man, Lu Rong, the new leader of the Flying Tiger Gang, sat on the main seat, looked at Han Lei with a calm face, and said softly: "Han Lei, do you have anything to explain about this defeat and loss of troops?" ”
As soon as Lu Rong's voice fell, everyone in the big tent turned their eyes to Han Lei. They all knew that Lu Rong had just taken the position of the gang leader, and his position was not very stable.
And Han Lei, as Lu Fei's righteous son, and has a group of troops loyal to him, is the biggest threat to challenge Lu Rong's position as the leader of the gang, Han Lei's defeat this time has become an excellent opportunity for Lu Rong to relieve his military power and put him in the cold palace, Lu Rong will not give up, therefore, they all want to see if Han Lei will honestly hand over the military power.
Han Lei ignored the strange gazes of everyone in the big tent, and said softly: "There is nothing to explain, I will be fully responsible for this failure, and after we defeat the army of Zhaojiabao, I will resign from all positions, leave the land of chaos, and go to the Qinglong Continent to develop." ”
Hearing that Han Lei was about to resign from all positions, Lu Rong's heart was relieved, and he said with a smile on his face: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Han Lei, don't take it too seriously." Now tell me about the situation of Zhaojiabao's army, so that everyone can be mentally prepared and discuss a countermeasure to wipe out all Zhaojiabao's troops in Phoenix Mountain, completely eliminate Zhaojiabao, and make Zhaojiabao a history completely. ”
"Yes, it's good that Zhaojiabao's army doesn't come out, once it comes out, if you dare to fight us in a decisive battle in Phoenix Mountain, you will definitely wipe it out. After losing the last elite army, no matter how strong Zhaojiabao's defense is, it will not be able to stop the army of our Flying Tiger Gang, and our Flying Tiger Gang will become the most powerful force in the eastern part of the Chaos Lands. ”
"That's right, Zhao Hu shrunk into Zhaojiabao as a shrinking turtle, our Flying Tiger Gang has no way to take him, but as long as he dares to come out and fight with our Flying Tiger Gang in Phoenix Mountain, we will be able to easily wipe it out, destroy the last army of Zhaojiabao, and destroy the last glimmer of hope in Zhaojiabao."
“、、、、、”
Looking at a general named Zhao Hu who was clamoring to eliminate Zhao Hu, as if Zhao Hu and the army in his hands were a plate of dishes, the corners of Han Lei's mouth couldn't help but sneer a little. He didn't think that Zhao Hu was so easy to eliminate, if he was so easy to eliminate, would he still be defeated with an army of 60,000? Will Zhao Hu still stupidly lead his last elite army to Phoenix Mountain to fight against him?
Lu Rong, who was sitting on the main seat, noticed the sneer on the corner of Han Lei's mouth, his heart moved, and he roared quietly, causing everyone in the big tent to close their mouths one after another, before looking at Han Lei and said, "Han Lei, you tell us the reason for your fiasco, as well as the situation of the army in Zhao Hu's hands." ”
Casually glancing at the people in the big tent, Han Lei sorted out his thoughts, and slowly told Zhao Hu about leading 10,000 guards soldiers to break through his own camp, leading his henchmen to escape, and his guess about the strength of the guards soldiers.
Han Lei had just told the story of his defeat clearly, and many of the generals in the big tent, including Lu Rong on the main throne, couldn't help but gasp, and said with a look of surprise on their faces: "Ten thousand one-star warriors!" You're not kidding! ”
If it weren't for the fact that Han Lei never said panic, and there was no precedent for expanding his rhetoric, Lu Rong and the others would definitely think that they were justifying their own failures, and they would expand the strength of Zhao Hu's army.
