Chapter 207: Miserable
In the camp of the Zhenbei Army, in He Dongming's tent, the left route army general Xueguan, the middle route army general Xiang Wentian, the military division Kong Ming and the general He Dongming gathered together to discuss the next move.
Kong Ming asked He Dongming and said, "The spies came to report, what is the situation of the grassland army now?"
He Dongming said: "After the grassland army fled back, it quickly gathered together, and it was seventy miles away from our army at this time. ”
After hearing this, Kong Ming said: "Although the grassland army has regrouped, there are less than 80,000 troops, and our army is 40,000 more than the grassland army. They had only two options, one was to ambush and the other was to retreat. ”
At this time, Zhongyun General Xueguan said: "What kind of ambush can they fight, the grassland is so flat, the terrain is open, the field of vision is extremely far, it is not easy to ambush at all, if the army moves forward, they can only retreat, if they can catch up, they can kill them by the river, so that they don't even have a chance to cross the river." ”
At that moment, the military advisor Kong Ming denied: "It's okay to force the grassland army back, but it's impossible to kill them by the river." The depth of the grassland in front of the river is 400 miles, and we are about 200 miles deep at this time, and when we chase to the river, it is already dark, and the cavalry is okay after a day's advance, but the infantry is already exhausted and does not have much combat strength. If you want to force back, you can only force it step by step and force the steppe army back into the river. ”
General Zhongyun said to Wentian: "The military advisor is right, this battle is a steady victory, we fight steadily and steadily, and we are approaching step by step, so it doesn't hurt to let them cross the river, at least we occupy the front of the river." ”
General Zhongyun said: "If they are allowed to cross the river and then want to exterminate the grassland army, it will be very difficult." ”
At this moment, the crowd fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, the military advisor said: "But I don't approve of chasing to the river to exterminate the grassland army in one day." ”
For a while, there was no unified answer, and this time, everyone looked at He Dongming to see what he said, after all, he was a general, and everything had to be decided by him.
He Dongming thought for a while and said: "It's not the first time that everyone has experienced this kind of war, and it is not necessary that there are any unexpected factors, so I decided to slowly get closer and force the grassland army to retreat step by step, even if the grassland army retreats to the river, it doesn't hurt." ”
"Yes!"
After He Dongming made a decision, everyone dispersed.
......
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the army began to set off again, everything, according to He Dongming's intentions, the army advanced slowly and slowly, slowly pressing towards the grassland army.
At this time, Chen Banshan became a centurion, equipped with a mount, and had a horse to walk, so he was much more comfortable.
The army advanced all the way, and sure enough, as several generals expected, the steppe army did not dare to meet it head-on, so it could only begin to retreat. And the Zhenbei army did not pursue, kept the formation, and advanced little by little.
The Zhenbei army moved forward slowly, following unhurriedly until noon, when it paused again to rest and have lunch. After lunch, I started to push in again.
Originally, everything was predicted, but when the army marched more than a hundred miles, there were variables.
"Report !!"
A spy came to He Dongming's horse on horseback, dismounted and knelt down and said: "Report to the general, there is movement in the grassland army, they are divided into three route armies, the middle route army remains still, and the left and right sides are separated from two roads of men and horses scattered, and all the cavalry is divided. ”
"Okay! Let's explore!" He Dongming said.
"Yes!" the spy changed into a good horse and went ahead again to investigate the situation.
"Sure enough, there are unexpected factors!" He Dongming said: "Tell me, this grassland army, left and right divided into two route armies, what does this mean?"
Zhong Yan said with blood: "Do they want to attack us in vain?"
"I think eighty percent is!" General Zhong Yan said to the heavens, "If they are not prepared to flank us, they will definitely not do this?"
He Dongming said: "Even if they want to flank us, it is impossible to change the situation of the battle, is it necessary to do this?"
The military advisor said: "Now there are only two countermeasures, the first is to stop the advance, and the second is to also divide the three ways to come out and fight-for-tat." ”
He Dongming thought for a while and said, "I think you can use the second countermeasure, what do you think?"
General Zhongyun said: "Since the grassland army is going to fight, we will take this opportunity to take the grassland army in one go, otherwise we will not have this opportunity when we return to the river." ”
"I think it's okay!" Zhong Yan Xiang Wentian also felt that it was feasible.
"Okay!" He Dongming said: "Now I order, Zhong Yang will lead 35,000 people to the left direction, and Zhong Yang will lead 35,000 people to the right direction to Wentian, and if they encounter enemy troops, they must all be annihilated." ”
"Yes!"
Immediately, Xueguan and Xiang Wentian each led about 35,000 men and horses to advance, while He Dongming led the remaining 30,000 people to keep moving.
"Report!!"
After ten miles, the spies came to report again: "The left and right route armies of the grassland army have been divided into two wings. ”
"Sure enough, it is to be flanked, and order the blood pass and Xiang Wentian to intercept it, and at the same time probe again. ”
Just after the army had been ten miles away, the spies returned, this time in a panic.
"Report !!"
He Dongming said: "What's so alarming, hurry up." ”
Before He Dongming could finish speaking, the spy said: "Report to the general, General Xueguan and General Xiang Wentian encountered a wetland, and part of the army fell into the wetland and could not move forward. The cavalry on the left and right of the steppe army has already begun to circle our rear, and they are very fast, trying to flank our army in front and rear. ”
"What !!"
He Dongming immediately shouted: "How can this be? Why are there wetlands on the left and right sides of this place?
"What should I do?" He Dongming could still calm down for the time being.
The military advisor Kong Ming was also a little anxious, thought about it, and said: "Now there is no way, the other party has the geographical advantage, only to recall the blood pass and Xiang Wentian, break through the front and back, and fight to the death." ”
At this time, without allowing much thought, He Dongming quickly took the doctrine and ordered his own soldiers to recruit back the blood pass and Xiang Wentian.
"Kill !!!"
Most of the two armies separated by the grassland army were cavalry, and they soon went around to the rear of the entire Zhenbei army, chasing the ass of the Zhenbei army, and the grassland army in front of them was also attacking forward, blocking the Zhenbei army before and after.
"Kill!!"
At this time, there is no choice but to break through.
At this time, Chen Banshan and them had already dangerously entered the wetland, which was equivalent to a swamp, and many soldiers fell directly into the wetland, sinking alive into the mud and drowning.
Chen Banshan also fortunately had a horse, when the horse fell into the mud, he stepped on the horse's back and jumped to a slightly harder place, which escaped.
And it didn't take long for the grassland army to be flanked back and forth, shouting and killing, coming from afar, as soon as this situation was discovered, many soldiers were simply panicked, the more panicked the faster they died, in short, the blood pass sat down 35,000 soldiers and horses, that is, almost 10,000 died in the wetland. When the remaining 20,000 or so soldiers and horses withdrew from the wetland, they were all in a mess.
The armies of Xueguan and Xiang Wentian withdrew from the wetland, and the more than 30,000 horses led by He Dongming himself had been defeated and retreated by the two grassland cavalry, and then they encountered the middle route army of the grassland that was attacking forward. When half of the dead and wounded were full, Xueguan and Xiang Wentian retreated back to converge.
"Kill !!"
This time, there was no way to retreat, only a decisive battle, and the Zhenbei Army was divided into two pulls, one before the attack and one after the attack.
"Kill !!"
Chen Banshan doesn't care what the situation is, he kills the enemy first, and then he says, he also kills while sucking blood.
This time, it was not as lucky as in the previous battle, the Zhenbei Army fell into a flank attack, and its momentum was greatly reduced, while the momentum of the Prairie Army soared, and it was simply a rout.
Chen Banshan rushed to kill in the battlefield, killing the Quartet, at this time, Chen Banshan, killing and killing, he had already killed the strength of Hinayana internal qi, and the more he killed, the more fierce he became.
"Save the Commander!!"
"Save the Commander!!"
The shout sounded, Chen Banshan looked, the worlds could fall into the attack, Chen Banshan didn't say a word, and rushed to kill.
Chen Banshan picked up the spear on the ground and shot it at once, instantly shooting and killing one of the enemy soldiers besieging the Abilities.
"Kill!!"
Two enemy soldiers came to kill Chen Banshan, Chen Banshan's gun was used as a stick, and one shot was pulled out, and the force of several thousand catties directly shocked the two enemy soldiers to death.
After killing several enemy soldiers, Chen Banshan finally approached Zhu Shi Neng, and a group of enemy troops besieged him, and Chen Banshan and Zhu Shi Neng were surrounded in the center.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng!"
Two fists are invincible to four hands, Zhu Shi Neng was stabbed in the thigh and screamed, but Zhu Shi Neng can be a thousand commanders and is not covered, endure the pain, and kill two people.
Chen Banshan also couldn't cope with it, he was forced to go back to back with Zhu Shi Neng, after blocking a knife, he was stabbed by a person and a gun, Chen Banshan was quick with his eyes, grabbed the head of the gun at once, and sent it back, and the gun pierced Zhu Shi Neng's heart from the back at once. This action, without any discovery, thought that the enemy had stabbed the worldly energy.
Of course, Zhu Shineng knew, but his mouth was full of blood, and he reluctantly said: "Chen Banshan, you actually dare to kill me?"
Chen Banshan said: "It's a pity that you died in the hands of others, you must die in my hands." ”
After Chen Banshan finished speaking, there was a sudden shock, and this shock, Zhu Shineng was immediately shocked to death. And Chen Banshan jumped up all of a sudden with the help of this strength and jumped out of the encirclement.
"Haha! I killed a commander! haha!"
The enemy soldier was indescribably happy to see his spear piercing into Zhu Shineng's body, but he was not happy with two breaths, Chen Banshan killed him back, and picked him in two with one shot.
Chen Banshan is also not good, the more the enemy kills, the more he can't fight, he has to break through.
"Quick, protect the general to break through !!"
The two armies fought, and the most awesome and exciting thing was to take the head of the enemy general, so there were too many enemy troops who besieged and killed He Dongming, the blood pass, and Xiang Wentian.
"Poof!!"
An enemy soldier sprayed a mouthful of blood on Chen Banshan's back, Chen Banshan looked back and saw that it was Wei Zifu and Jianren who had killed them, and in this case, the Huotou Army also joined the battle.
"Let's hurry up and break through!" Chen Banshan said urgently.
Wei Zifu said: "If you want to break through, you must break through with He Dongming, we will be considered deserters if we break through first, and we must have generals together." ”
"Protecting the General's !!"
This time, Chen Banshan and Wei Zifu Jianren killed He Dongming's encircled place to protect He Dongming's breakthrough.
This is a tragic breakthrough battle, which is simply shocking and miserable.
Desperately fighting, He Dongming and the military advisor Kong Ming broke through after many people died under the protection of everyone, and finally broke through successfully.
As the sun set, a group of remnants of the defeated soldiers sat in a meadow to rest, all with ugly faces.
A personal soldier walked over, and He Dongming asked, "How many soldiers are there?"
The pro-soldier said: "Back to the general, 20,000 is not enough!"
Hearing this, He Dongming was speechless, and the military division was speechless, 110,000 horses, only less than 20,000 remained, how tragic this is, and the grassland army only died more than 20,000 points, and there were 50,000 troops, this battle, the Zhenbei army lost very badly.
"General!" said the soldier: "General Xueguan also sacrificed his life for the country." ”
"What?"
At this moment, everyone's faces were like ashes, and the news was getting worse and worse.
Suddenly, He Dongming remembered something and asked, "What about Captain He Qidu?"
The soldier swallowed for a moment, and then spoke: "General Hui! Captain He Qidu was captured alive by the enemy. ”
What the!!!!!
