Chapter 357: Defeating Jiang Yiqu
Zhang Fang cut off the head of Sima of that army with a knife and swung it in the air, frightening the surrounding Yuan Jun to turn around and run.
The military Sima shouted loudly, and after revealing his position, he had been avoiding Xu Huang, and before he knew it, he approached Zhang Fang's side. The result was still the same, he was beheaded for public display, and the whole line collapsed.
The fleeing Yuan army has taken off their obstructive armor one after another, and they have already fled, who is stupid to run in armor?
Some of the Yuan soldiers were reluctant to use their weapons and fled with them in their hands. The pursuing Xinxi Liang Army saw it and judged that these people with weapons were a greater threat, and they specially pursued them to the end.
When the rest of the Yuan army saw it, in order not to attract attention, they simply threw away their weapons, completely abandoned their arms, and survived first.
Xin Ping saw that the 2,500 men on the front were completely defeated, so he hurriedly asked the reserve soldiers and horses around him to go up and control the enemy army first.
He tried to gather these routs, and it stands to reason that no more than half of them were killed or wounded, and after a little rectification, they could go back into battle.
But these defeated soldiers didn't stay at all, and they rushed directly to the rear, and they were already pulled into the battlefield, saying that they didn't want to face the tiger and wolf army again.
Xin Ping hurriedly sent people to urge the left and right wings to attack Xu Huang and Zhang Fang. However, when they saw that the Xinxi Liang Army was amazing, they were unwilling to fight at close range, and only dared to release arrows from a distance to harass them.
Although Xu Huang and Zhang Fang were tired, they knew the truth of being vigorous. So the two of them took the lead in charging at Xin Ping, intending to defeat this wave of opponents who were large in number and weak in close combat in one fell swoop.
Xin Ping ordered his subordinate army Sima to lead the troops to meet the enemy, but the army Sima replied, "I want to go up to you!" Why should I send my people to death! ”
Xin Ping was angry and wanted to reprimand that military Sima, but when he saw that the person was from the army at all, he didn't know the Yuan family and the general trend, so he couldn't explain it at all.
With a sigh, he ordered to retreat to the city and gather the defeated troops to defend the city.
With Xin Ping withdrawing from the battlefield, the initiative of the 100,000 acres of mountain valleys was completely controlled by Xu Huang.
The rest of the wandering Yuan army numbered in the thousands, but their morale was dispersed, and they fled south over the mountains on their own.
What's more, because the supplies were taken by Xu Huang, he didn't eat and baggage, so he plundered the people along the way and became a bandit in the mountains.
And Xin Ping returned to the city to count the soldiers and horses, and found that only more than 5,000 people came back. Even among the remaining soldiers, many were demoralized because of the long journey and repeated setbacks.
Xin Ping had no choice but to step up the repair of the city defenses on the one hand, and send dead soldiers to report to Yuan Tan and Guo Tu on the other.
Xu Huang and Zhang Fang counted the number of enemies killed, two of them in pairs, and found that they had killed exactly twenty-nine people.
Zhang Fang thought that Xu Huang was like a god descending from heaven at that time, attracting most of Yuan Jun's arrows and attention, so Xu Huang won this competition.
Xu Huang believed that Zhang Fang fought bravely and quickly, and among the twenty-nine enemies he killed, there was also a crucial enemy army Sima. It was the killing of this man and the beheading of him that led to the defeat of the enemy.
So of course, Zhang Fang performed better.
Zhang Fang didn't excuse himself again, and asked Xu Huang how his injuries were.
Xu Huang took off the thick fish scale armor, and although he was directly scratched by arrows, the arrows of these ordinary single bows were all hung by the fine armor, and he only suffered slight flesh wounds.
The two laughed, this battle was a long drive first, then went deep into the center of the enemy to blossom, and finally defeated Xin Ping's army head-on, it was really happy.
The captured supplies of the Yuan army were mainly corn and camp tents, but although they were ordinary, they just solved the pressure of their light and simple travel.
The two of them looked at the brave and fearless soldiers again.
In the past, they may have been white waves and black mountain bandits, and they were regarded as evil people in the world.
There are also some barbarians, genuine barbarians, alienated by others.
Some may also be small peasant homes like mustards, which are used as consumables in these troubled times
But that's all in the past!
They now have a new name, and that's the Dreadnoughts!
Become this army of soldiers and horses, they can hold their heads high and say to anyone that they are Tong Yuan's soldiers, fighting for the soldiers and people of the frontier and the people of the world.
After a quiet night's rest, they got in touch with Yu Poison and learned about Yuan Tanjun's situation.
According to Tong Yuan's previous right to give them their own decision-making, at this time, Xu Huang and the others could choose the area to attack according to the situation on the basis of trapping the enemy army.
He judged that Xin Ping experienced yesterday's defeat and could not go out of the city to face the battle in a short time. But he must have reported to Yuan Tan as soon as possible to make them vigilant.
Therefore, with more than 1,000 troops, it is really a good strategy to flank Yuan Tan's army of more than 10,000 with Yu Poison.
In this case, it's time to use a strategy.
Xu Huang asked the scouts to tie the captured horses and drag them behind the horses with branches. Then let people deliberately go to the area where Yuan Tan and Xin Ping's soldiers and horses could see it, create dust, and confuse the enemy army.
Xin Ping experienced failure, his morale almost bottomed out, and he didn't dare to attack and continued to hold on to the city.
Although Yuan Tan is gallbladder, he can't catch Yu Poison in the mountains at all, and then Xu Huang defeated Xin Ping and cut off Fukou. In this situation, he did not dare to leave Jiang Yiqu too far, so as not to take care of the front and the back.
Therefore, Yuan Jun mistakenly thought that Xu Huang was still on the west side of the ancient Li Kingdom and Yuan Tan's army.
However, Xu Huang and Zhang Fang selected 500 people, rode horses and carried equipment, quickly detoured to the east side of Yuan's army, and then quickly entered the mountains and raided Jiang Yiqu's flank.
Jiang Yiqu was already fighting with Tong Yuan, Li Tong and others. Fortunately, Yuan Tan protected his left rear and avoided being attacked by poison, so that he was not defeated.
This time, Xu Huang and other 500 people arrived at his right rear blind spot in the evening and caught him off guard.
The army had been fighting in the mountains for several days, and they were already exhausted, and they heard the enemy shouting that Yan Liangwen had been killed, and their morale was even lower.
Therefore, although Xu Huang and Zhang Fang only had 500 people, they became the last straw that crushed the camel.
In this evening, Jiang Yiqu's army was unable to support it, and he was driven out of the mountains like a duck and fled wildly.
Peng An was caught up by Li Tong during the retreat, and before he could turn around and fight, he was killed by Li Tong with one shot.
Cen Bi tried to kill Tong Yuan in a counter-assault in the chaos of the army.
I didn't want Tong Yuan to have already practiced good martial arts, so he took the initiative to fight with a gun, the two couldn't count the battle, Tong Yuan put down Peng An with one shot, and the rest of the soldiers rushed up to complete the beheading.
Jiang Yiqu had a small number of heavy cavalry, but they fought for two days, and the horses were overwhelmed, and they couldn't add up to the speed at all.
During the retreat, he had been trying to regroup his rout, but the target was prominent on horseback, and the terrain made it difficult for them to escape quickly, making them the best target for his pursuers.
A team of archers from the Tuntian Army targeted them, and under the leadership of the team, they actually pursued and killed Jiang Yiqu and others for more than ten miles.
The defeated soldiers beside Jiang Yiqu numbered as many as 500 people, and even the heavy cavalry had 100 people, and they were chased and killed by more than 50 archers on foot.
