Chapter 327: Victory in the midst of defeat
Rout!
Even though Liu Chenglin's department was a selected martial arts warrior, when they suddenly saw a terrifying scene that they had never seen before, people's innate fear of the unknown still prevailed over discipline and honor, and they turned around and ran.
Liu Chenglin was still standing in a daze, and several of his generals rushed up, dragged him around, and ran back.
Feng Lun finally came to his senses after a moment of sluggishness. Looking at the mess on the other side, and seeing that Liu Chenglin's troops in front of him were defeated, he raised his arms and shouted: "Drumming, drumming, pursuit, pursuit, annihilation of the Wuwei army, capture Liu Chenglin alive!" ”
With the sound of war drums, Lu Longjun roared up, and in the Shijiawu Fort behind them, the gate of the fort was wide open, and countless people rushed out.
At the front is the Lulong army, followed by the Wubao people, and in the end, there are actually densely packed people with all kinds of weapons, and even hoes, sheep, forks, and sickles, and there are not tens of thousands of people.
In the Yingzhou army camp, the soldiers were still resting, but Hou Fangyu, who was the commander of Qu, only squinted for a while and then dressed up and began to patrol the camp, as the general of the camp left behind, although he knew that it was unlikely that the other party would attack his camp, but what he should do was still to be meticulous.
If you have something to do, you must not slack off. Slacking off is a habit that, once you have it, can lead to catastrophe in the future.
When the loud noise came, the whole person in Hou Fangyu was also frightened.
The sky is blue, naturally it is not thunder from the sky, and the direction of the loud noise is the direction of Shijiawu Fort. As a senior general in the Yingzhou Army, he knew very well that there was absolutely nothing in his side that could make such a loud noise.
Since it is not its own, it must be the enemy's.
"All the army assembled!" He rushed to his camp and shouted loudly.
In the wilderness, Li De kept gently stroking the neck of his war horse, trying to soothe the frightened war horse, and finally, the war horse under the crotch slowly calmed down, the pace gradually slowed down, Li De took the opportunity to pull the reins, and the horse stopped. At this time, Li De, looking up, saw that the mountains were full of his own cavalry, and they were just like himself, and when the loud sound broke out, the war horse under his crotch was frightened and lost control.
Fortunately, under his command, there are some experienced knights, and at this moment, they have slowly calmed down the frightened war horses, from the previous uncontrollable, the cavalry at this moment has basically controlled the war horses.
It's just that the team is too scattered.
What made Li De even more angry was that Liu Chenglin's Chinese army completely collapsed. They ran fast and had almost left the battlefield, but Liu Chenglin's troops were tightly bitten by the enemy. At this moment, layers after layers of enemies are pouring in from all directions, encircling them in the middle.
It's not terrible to be surrounded, but what is terrible is that Yanagibe is depressed and lost his fighting spirit, so he doesn't fight back on the spot at this moment, but he fights separately and wants to break through.
To break through at this moment is to let the enemy break through individually.
Li De took out a horn from his bosom, whined, and with the sound of the horn, a knight rushed in his direction.
Li De rode forward, blowing his horn as he went, and behind him, more and more cavalry caught up closely.
This kind of scene Li De and his cavalry experienced, they were once driven by Henghai Zhu Shou's brigade of cavalry to flee in all directions, every time they were broken into pieces, and then assembled and returned to the team, now, it is just to do it again.
Li De's cavalry experienced defeat and encountered this desperate situation.
So on the battlefield, the first to slow down was his army.
"Standard-bearer, standard-bearer, send a signal to General Liu, let him assemble his troops on the spot and wait for reinforcements, and I will intercept and kill the enemy's rear road." Li De glanced back at the direction of the camp, "Go and report to Hou Fangyu alone, and ask his whole army to come to help." ”
Such a loud noise, even if he is deaf, Hou Fangyu should have heard it, if he was sober, he should gather his troops and horses to come to support.
However, Li De was worried that Hou Fangyu was too careful, so he just sent a small army of soldiers and horses to visit the virtual reality, and left the main force to guard the big battalion, then he would lose his fighters.
Indeed, in Li De's view, although there is a big defeat at the moment, there is also an opportunity for a big victory in the big defeat.
The whole army of Lu Long went out, surrounded Liu Chenglin's main force, the township soldiers of Shijiawu Fort, and even the people in the fort poured out, and the enemy's intention was to finish his work in one battle and annihilate Liu Chenglin's main force here.
At this moment, as long as Hou Fang Domain poured out, his cavalry cut off the return route of those Wubao villagers, and Liu Chenglin's main force only needed to entangle the other party.
Well, the scales of victory will inevitably tilt in their favor.
Because Shijiawu Fort really has strong combat effectiveness, it is only the two thousand Lu Long Army, and now, it should be less than two thousand, and they have suffered a lot of losses from the previous struggle with Liubu.
At this moment, it doesn't matter if you hold the camp or not. If Liu Chenglin's department is completely killed, with him and Hou Fangyu, they will not be able to hold the camp anyway, so it is better to break the cauldron and sink the boat.
Li De led his troops to assault forward, and as he advanced, more and more cavalry gathered from all over behind him.
Liu Chenglin, who was surrounded, finally came to his senses.
As an experienced veteran of the battlefield, the first thing he did when he came to his senses was to accurately judge that he would not be able to complete the breakthrough now. He needs to gather as many troops and horses together as possible in order to hold out longer. At this time, there were only about 200 personal soldiers around him, and more soldiers and horses were already divided and surrounded by the enemy at this moment.
"Follow me, kill!" Liu Chenglin glanced at the battlefield, picked up the red cherry spear, and killed a small army in front of the left that was surrounded and struggling to support his side, there were about less than a hundred of them, and they gathered into a circle formation at this moment.
I have to say that on such a chaotic battlefield where the two sides are strangled together, the personal courage of the military generals is really a decisive force. Liu Chenglin stubbornly relied on his own personal force to kill a passage, rescued this part of the people and horses, and joined his team.
Then he turned again, and again and again in the direction of his own soldiers who were surrounded, and rescued a group of more or less soldiers, and when about a thousand soldiers gathered around him, the panicked soldiers finally had a backbone and slowly stabilized.
They formed a circle and temporarily stabilized the form.
It was at this time that they finally saw the banner of Li De's department, and of course, they also saw Li De's cavalry crossing from one side of the battlefield.
Li De's meaning is very simple, Liubu is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, waiting for the soldiers and horses from the waiting area to come and attack inside and out, while he is going to cut off the opponent's back road.
Almost instantly, Liu Chenglin understood what Li De meant, calmed down, and also saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, the enemies surrounding him were Lu Long's army, there were Wubao township soldiers, but more than that, there were farmers holding all kinds of tools, and there were many white-haired old men and sturdy women.
The enemy is trying to beat the water dogs!
But even if Lao Tzu is in trouble, he is still a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Array, hold on." He raised the spear in his hand, and more than a thousand soldiers instantly centered on him, forming a circle formation with two layers of inner and outer layers, and Liu Chenglin even gathered a group of about fifty brave men and organized a commando with him. While holding on, he led this team of fifty men to fight out of the circle from time to time, giving the enemy a head-on blow.
Feng Lun may be far inferior to Liu Chenglin in terms of force, but he is equally experienced, but today, he is also gone. Under normal circumstances, the battle is like this, it is a big victory for the winner, and a crushing defeat for the loser, for Shi Jiawu's dock master Shi Kui's practice of pouring out of the nest to pursue the enemy, at first he thought that it was decisive to kill, extremely decisive, and the practice was simply wonderful.
But when he saw that Liu Chenglin had stabilized his position in a desperate situation, and those Wuwei soldiers who had lost their souls were actually returning to their souls little by little, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Even if he is now above the strength of the army, he is more than ten times that of Liu Chenglin on the other side.
Liu Chenglin still has more than 1,000 people at most, but all of them combined, now they are afraid that they are only more than 20,000. But when Liu Chenglin's more than 1,000 armor soldiers finally formed a military formation, he knew that things were a little troublesome.
Next, he saw that the enemy cavalry, which had long been dispersed, had actually returned in full formation.
The biggest problem is that they didn't come to rescue Liu Chenglin, they went straight to their own back.
Who is on the back road? Not even Xiang Yong, all of them are Shi Jiawu people with various weapons.
His heart suddenly went cold.
"Attack with all your might, attack!" There is only one way in front of him, and that is to quickly take down Liu Chenglin in order to turn back the situation. Now his elite strength is the same as Liu Chenglin, in the middle of the encirclement, even if he wants to retreat, he can't retreat. Winning the opponent's main general is the only way to win now.
Li De's cavalry, like a sharp knife, cut into the battlefield from the rear. Not to mention ordinary people, it is a well-trained military bravery, facing the cavalry are all apprehensive, need to rely on a well-organized army, dense long-range weapons together to compete with the cavalry, these ordinary people, what to fight?
In an instant, the outer perimeter of the encirclement was bleeding.
Feng Lun's desperation was not only that the Wuwei cavalry began to slaughter in the rear, but even more terrifying was that in the distance, another main force of Wuwei infantry was rapidly rushing to the battlefield. The number of people is at least more than 1,000.
"Drive the township to move forward, and our main force retreats." He lowered his voice and ordered the lieutenant general beside him. As a main general, of course, he sees the six roads and listens to the four directions, but those ordinary villagers and ordinary people do not have an overall grasp of the form of the battlefield, and they still think that the victory is in their hands at this moment!
