Chapter 462: All Lost
Yu Chaozong faced a lot of unexpected things, and Luo Geng also faced unexpected things.
He thought that at most, the army of the Yanshan battalion that resisted him would only hold out for another hour.
His heavily armored iron cavalry has already shown the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and according to his previous fighting style, he will next chase and kill the defeated soldiers, and kill the enemy in one go, and a complete victory is close at hand.
But he didn't expect that there were still talents in the Yanshan camp.
In the ranks of the Green Eyebrow Army, the six masters of the West Fence frowned and looked at the place where the front army was fighting, Luo Geng's Youzhou Iron Cavalry was really powerful, even if it was a pile of human lives, it couldn't stop it.
"Herald ......"
There was a touch of grief in Xi Lizi's eyes, which made him hesitate whether to give the military order.
"Herald!"
A moment later, the West Fence shouted again.
"The Chinese archers stepped forward, holding down the tail of the front army, and did not allow them to retreat."
When his military order was issued, everyone around him was stunned.
The Green Eyebrow Army of the Yanshan Battalion is a green forest team in the final analysis, and unlike the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they prefer to put righteousness at the forefront rather than reason.
"Master!"
A general's face turned pale and persuaded: "There are still at least tens of thousands of brothers in the front army, and we should increase our troops to support us now." ”
After taking a deep breath, Nishirako almost gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Didn't you hear? Pass my military order, the archers of the Chinese army move forward, press the tail of the front army and prevent them from coming back! ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at those who still wanted to persuade him, and shouted again: "Those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
The herald did not dare to disobey and began to rush to the herald.
The archers of the Chinese army pressed forward neatly, and many people had begun to cry, and there were their friends and brothers in the ranks of the front army, and even family members.
They all knew very well that once they released the arrows, those brothers, friends, and family members would be pushed into hell by them.
With a snort, the rain of arrows flew out.
The front army is retreating, and they desperately hope that the brothers of the middle and rear army can come to the aid as soon as possible.
However, the reinforcements did not come, and the arrows came.
In the rear of the front army, many soldiers of the Yanshan battalion were shot over by their own feather arrows, and they didn't want to believe that the arrows came from behind their backs after they fell to the ground.
Some people are dazed, some people are angry, some people are crazy.
"Now is the time."
Seeing that the retreating team of the front army had been pressed there, he commanded loudly: "Everyone in the Chinese army is digging a pit under their feet, no matter how deep or how big they dig, they must all dig, and then stop after hearing the horn, and the Chinese army will retreat after listening to the order!" ”
Many heralds rushed out again on horseback, shouting military orders as they rode their horses.
Although the soldiers of the Yanshan battalion didn't know why they did this, they quickly carried out the military order.
Everyone began to dig holes with their weapons, knives and guns, and it didn't take long for the ground to become pitted.
Xi Lizi counted the time, and also observed the battle situation of the front army, and when he found that the front army could not be stopped, he immediately gave an order: "The Chinese army retreats, give the rear army an order, let them enter Jizhou City in an orderly manner, and support the big boss." ”
The entire Chinese army began to move back, and when the army retreated, the potholes on the ground immediately became clear, dense, and innumerable, large and small.
At least 20,000 soldiers of the Yanshan battalion of the front army were almost slaughtered, and the heavy armor of Youzhou came with a heavy hoof.
When the heavily armored iron cavalry arrived at the position of the middle army in the Yanshan camp, the general led by him immediately raised his hand and ordered to blow the horn.
The team then slowly stopped, and in front of them were countless large and small pits.
The general who commanded the heavily armored iron cavalry sent someone to report to Luo Geng, and in a short time, Luo Geng arrived here with his own military camp.
He jumped off his horse, looked at the potholes, and suddenly laughed.
"I can't imagine that there are still talents in a rebel army."
His heavy cavalry marched into formation, relying on a neat rank, the equipment of the horses rushed, and the hooves of the horses trampled.
With these countless potholes, the heavy cavalry could not guarantee the queue, and the weight of this cavalry was too great.
The men and horses are all wearing heavy armor, as well as collision equipment, and when stepping forward, the array is not only neat, but also dense, almost horses and horses walking close to each other.
With these pits, his heavy cavalry could not increase their speed, and if they fell, it would not be a matter of one or two.
"It's just a bit of a delay."
Luo Geng remounted his war horse and commanded loudly: "Let the rear army Qingzhou surrender troops to come up and continue to press forward, and march eastward with heavy horses, let's help the Yuzhou army." ”
As soon as the order was given, the heavy cavalry immediately adjusted its direction and began to press behind the Yanshan battalion team facing the Yuzhou army in the east.
This battle, from early morning to dusk.
When it was almost dark, a bloodied herald rushed into the city gates, and he searched the crowd for a long time before finding Yu Chaozong, who was still directing the attack.
"Big boss!"
The herald panted and said, "Our team left behind on the east side has been defeated...... Now only the team led by the six masters blocked the city gate and was still fighting. ”
Yu Chaozong's eyes widened suddenly: "How can it be so fast!" ”
His voice trembled as he spoke.
I don't know why, but suddenly I thought of Li Qi's three letters, and my heart hurt violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Xilizi tried his best to hold on to these three hours, but Yu Chaozong still failed to take Jizhou City.
The bloody battle of these three hours made every street in the place where the battle was fought covered with corpses, but the Jizhou army did not retreat.
Late at night.
Yu Chaozong woke up, his headache was splitting, he raised his hand and rubbed his head, suddenly remembered something, and sat up straight.
"How's the battle going outside the city?"
He asked eagerly.
Zheng Gongru, the eighth master, replied cautiously: "The big boss, the sixth boss is still guarding outside the city gate, and he has sent people three times to ask the big boss to break through." ”
"Breakout?"
Yu Chaozong swallowed and foamed, and his throat burned as if it hurt.
"Yes!"
He struggled to get up: "Order a breakthrough!" ”
Another hour later, outside the city gate, Yu Chaozong glanced at the torches that seemed to be full of stars in the distance, and his face was white and terrifying.
It seems that he has broken through and can't get out, and he has rushed several times before, but he has been blocked back.
The Youzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army have formed a joint encirclement, and Xilianzi led the army to fight hard, suffering heavy casualties.
The soldiers of the Yanshan Battalion, who had not experienced such a big battle, had already collapsed, especially after the team in the east was trapped, countless people chose to surrender on their knees.
Under the boundless fear, the number of surrenderers is also increasing, and there were originally sixty or seventy thousand Chinese troops in Xilizi, but after dark, I don't know how many escaped, and I can't control it at all.
"Big brother."
Xi Lizi looked at Yu Chaozong and said, "Gather all the light cavalry, and now break through in the direction of the Youzhou army, the enemy's heavy cavalry can't catch up." ”
Yu Chaozong looked back at his subordinates, everyone's faces were hard to see, and at this moment, Yu Chaozong made another decision.
"I can't live alone."
Yu Chaozong said: "If I only take light horses to break through, even if I go out and leave tens of thousands of brothers here, I can't do it." ”
He took a deep breath and said, "Order the whole army to break through in the direction of the Youzhou Army." ”
"Big boss!"
Zheng Gongru persuaded and said: "The Youzhou army is good at fighting, and there are heavy cavalry, it is too difficult to break through there, it is better to break through in the direction of the Yuzhou army, where the terrain is wider." ”
Yu Chaozong hesitated, and the west fence next to him was anxious.
"Big brother, you can't go to the east - break through, if the official army still has ambushes, it will be in the east, the Youzhou army is good at fighting, but it is because of the good fighting, so the ambush
It will definitely be on the side of the slightly weaker Yuzhou army, and Luo Geng will also look forward to us going east - to break through. ”
Zheng Gongru said: "Big boss, don't listen to his nonsense, if you go west, Luo Geng's heavy cavalry will block the road, we can't pass, if you go east and break out, Luo Geng's heavy cavalry will not be able to catch up." ”
Yu Chaozong pondered for a moment and said: "I think it's still to the west, listen to the west fence, the heavy cavalry can't fight continuously, and people can't stand the horses." ”
Zheng Gongru was angry in his heart, but he couldn't control anything.
That night, Yu Chaozong ordered the whole army to break through to the west and attack Luo Geng's Youzhou army.
Xi Lizi and Chang Dingsui took the light cavalry, and they were almost going to kill the siege, but Yu Chaozong refused to leave, and the rear team of men and horses were all lost, Yu Chaozong couldn't bear it, and decided to take people back to rush and kill again, trying to rescue more people.
Xilianzi was ordered to wait here with two or three thousand cavalry, but by dawn, Yu Chaozong and Chang Dingsui could not come back.
After dawn, the West Fence couldn't wait for Yu Chaozong, and the official army surrounded it again, and in desperation, the West Fence fled to the northwest with these thousands of light horses.
Jizhou City.
Yu Chaozong had to retreat again.
After a little counting at dawn, he found that there were less than 8,000 people who followed him back, and in the second half of the night's fighting, there were nearly 100,000 troops, and probably more than half of them had surrendered.
The rest were all killed in battle.
On the street, to the north is the embarrassed Yanshan battalion team, and to the south is the Jizhou army team with broken battle armor.
Yu Chaozong, who was red-eyed, and Zeng Ling, who was red-eyed, looked at each other across the street.
"You've lost!"
Zeng Ling shouted at Yu Chaozong, and there was some distorted excitement in his rough voice.
"Did you win!"
Yu Chaozong shouted at Zeng Ling.
Under such a bloody battle, there were only more than 7,000 soldiers and horses around Yu Chaozong, and on Zeng Ling's side, there were only a few thousand people left.
"You and I have lost."
Yu Chaozong let out a long sigh after saying this, at the moment when Jizhou City was broken, he really thought that he had won the battle.
"Did you hear that?"
Zeng Ling shouted towards Yu Chaozong: "The team outside, aren't they in a hurry to attack the city?" ”
Yu Chaozong glanced back, and it seemed that it was indeed quiet, and the officers and soldiers who had blocked them here finally stopped.
"They don't have to rush."
Yu Chaozong suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha......"
Zeng Ling, who was on the other side, suddenly burst out laughing, laughing hysterically.
"Yu Chaozong! You entered the game like this, it should be persuaded by Li Qi, I thought he was some kind of genius, it turned out to be nothing more than that, his bad move hurt you and Yanshan Ying, hahahaha! ”
Yu Chaozong was stunned, turned his head to look at the side, and didn't know when, Zheng Gongru was no longer by his side.
At the same time, outside the city.
Liu Li's eyes were almost about to erupt with fire, and after dawn, the scouts came to report, and a large army suddenly appeared behind, which had blocked the retreat of the Yuzhou army, and the army array was endless, and I didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were.
I only saw that the Chinese army was holding the banner of Zuo Wuwei.
Just when Liu Li was angry to the extreme, suddenly a group of cavalry came to his front, and the old man led by him had a fluttering beard, glanced at Liu Li and said, "Liu Li, do you still recognize the old man?" ”
The moment he saw Prince Wu Yang Ji's sentence, Liu Li's anger disappeared in an instant, and only fear remained.
He took a few steps forward and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Meet the General!"
"Get up."
Prince Wu said in a flat tone: "Take all the generals above the fourth rank under you with me, and go back with me to see the driver." ”
He glanced at Liu Li: "Your Majesty is waiting for you." ”
