Chapter 312. The Yuan clan collapsed
The grand occasion of the first battle of the Quhe River has once again reappeared on the south bank of the Zhanghe River!
In the face of nearly 20,000 Yuan troops, the narrow Hanjia Bridge is like a thin sewer pipe under the swimming pool, which cannot meet the needs of retreat, especially under the panic, everyone swarms up, and the bridge full of crowds is even more blocked and difficult to move, in the clicking sound, the wooden fences on both sides are squeezed off, and the Yuan army, who lost his balance, fell into the cold river like a dumpling.
Although the current Zhanghe River is not frozen, the river is still cold and biting, Yuan Jun, who is wearing heavy leather armor and iron armor, fluttered in the water for a few minutes, and was easily frozen wood, and then sank to the bottom of the river like a weighing stone.
On the bank of the river, more Yuan troops were squeezed into the river by the formation, and dozens of meters in front, you can still see the axe and gun formations like Cao Bing's lawn mowers rising up and down, dripping with blood and harvesting life, but the Yuan army has no power to fight back, just like the Roman army surrounded by Hannibal in the Battle of Cannae!
Tens of thousands of people were completely surrounded, compressed and crowded in a narrow space of only a few thousand square meters, people next to people, people crowded people, there was no room to even draw a bow and swing a knife, and the battle completely turned into a one-sided slaughter, the axe and spearmen in the front row only had to stab, and the crossbowmen in the back row did not even need to aim, and they could always pick up people's heads by throwing them at will.
was even hit by a crossbow, and Yuan Jun, who was injured and fell to the ground, couldn't even fall! The entire Zhanghe River has become a slaughterhouse!
As for Yuan Shang, who was still shouting for the death of those who retreated just now, and he would not retreat, he had already retreated to the north bank of Hanjia Bridge at this time, and the crowd of people crackling down on the bridge just now was his masterpiece, and the steel sword in his hand was full of blood, all of which were his own blood.
It can be counted that he is not retreating, but chasing and killing deserters! Squeezed out of breath, the hand holding the sword was trembling, but in the midst of wheezing, Yuan Shang suddenly burst out again, like the injured leopard, the lightning sword slashed horizontally, and cut into the neck of Yuan Bing, who had just escaped from the bridge out of breath.
This Yuan Shang is also a master of the sword, one hand cutting the sword is thicker than Wang Hou's chicken claws and pulling the sword I don't know how much neat, in the sound of the puff wind, the sword is bloody, and the Yuan soldier is caught off guard by holding the neck that was cut half in fear, and he fell to the ground splashing blood, but to kill someone, Yuan Shang is still particularly hateful, holding the sword, roaring and scolding angrily.
"You bunch of shit! Useless cowards! ”
The vicious and resentful gaze made Yuan Bing, who was not far from him, all frightened, even if he fled in panic, he was far away from his master, but this was also Yuan Shang's last scenery! Looking back at the battlefield that was still shouting for killing, he also snatched the reins of the horse, turned over the horse, and immediately fled north in panic with the bloody steel sword.
When he fled, the Yuan army in Jizhou in the middle was completely defeated and destroyed! At the same time, the strongest spear in Hebei on the right road, the 10,000 Beidi cavalry, was also under the attack of Zhang He's corps and Zhang Liao's cavalry regiment, and the army was crushed, and a large number of cavalry dragged the banner and fled westward in panic, and those who were wrapped in the crowd on the battlefield simply knelt down and surrendered.
I have to admit that this cavalry that absorbed the border army of the Han army was indeed outstanding in combat effectiveness, and the continuous attack on Zhang Liao's infantry formation also caused him thousands of casualties. Pity! The master has a move, and one star can decide the winner or loser, and the Qingzhou cavalry equipped with stirrups forcibly tore apart the Mayan cavalry formation, and their defeat was also destined!
At this time, the only anxious person on the battlefield was Zhang Kaibu on the left bank! It's just that the two armies have been defeated, and he obviously has no intention of fighting again, and the Yuan army, which had swept across the south bank of the Zhanghe River like a rising tide, maintained a chaotic formation with a spear in a panic, fought and retreated with difficulty, and slowly retreated to the north bank of the Zhanghe River.
But this time, it's Le Jin's turn! He was just pressed by Zhang Kai's army, and it was a rare opportunity to beat the water dogs, so he also incarnated as Uchiha Sasuke, threw the heavy spear, pulled out the slightly lighter secondary weapon, the ring head knife, and roared as hard as he could.
"Hide there!"
"Don't let one go! Pursue! ”
While moving forward, the archers of the Cao army on the mountain continued to release arrows to the slow beach, and the Xu Du Bafu army, which had been fighting in formation for a long time, also threw heavy long-handled weapons or shields, drew out knives and chased and slashed behind them, and some Yuan troops were holding spears, and only after resisting a few times on the spot, they were left behind by the retreating army, and they were immediately cut to the ground by the Cao army with light weapons like wolves!
But just when Lejin was also marching wildly, suddenly, the flank of the Xuchang army, like thunder, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and in his stunned look back, a light cavalry dressed as a Qiang man with a Korean flag and a light cavalry dressed as Qiang people dangled their axes and threw their guns, and they were actually killing with great momentum, and they trampled directly on the friendly troops without any scruples.
The shallows for crossing the river were so long, and before the right-wing Cao Jun could react, a large number of people had already been swept under the iron hooves of these Xiliang horses.
Since the princes of the Eighteenth Route begged Dong Zhuo, the Kwantung warlords and the Kwantung warlords had formed a relationship of mutual contempt.
"His uncle's! These Liangzhou barbarians! Grab military merit with Lao Tzu? Come on! Blow the trumpet to Lao Tzu! Rush forward! ”
Le Jin was full of angry shouts, and Xu Changjun, who was hiding on the side in a panic, had to chase forward and chase after him, and this time he didn't pay attention to the formation, so he was congested forward, and the shallows of this ferry were not big, and his own people started infighting again, crowded into a ball, and no one let anyone.
This scene gave Zhang Kai a chance, he was originally glued, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape without throwing a thousand people, this is good, Cao Jun himself choked first, leaving a hundred or so people as a death squad with spears.
This episode also delayed the war for another hour or so, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the Yuan army, which was huddled together on the south bank, was dragged out one by one, unloaded their weapons and guarded them aside, and it took more than half an hour to prepare the prisoners, and then the Rizhao Brigade squeezed out Qu's men and horses, rushed across the Zhanghe River, and rushed into Yuan Shang's camp.
There are more than 20,000 Chinese troops, less than 3,000 have fled back to Hebei, Yuan Shang has become a frightened bird, and he has long since run away, but people can run, but the baggage can't run, and a large battalion basically fell into the hands of Wang Hou.
In the cry of hey, the two light infantry chopped the flagpole of the Yuan army with their sabers and cut bamboo, and in a squeaky sound, the heavy flagpole collapsed obliquely, and smashed to the ground with a bang.
After waiting for a long time, Zhuge Hui took out a knife, cut the rope that tied the flag twice, trotted back with both hands, and handed it to Wang Hou.
This is the second time in Wang Hou's career that he has broken the army and captured the flag! Just like Dong Zhuo and Dong Taishi in "New Three Kingdoms", surrounded by cultural relics, he reached out and grabbed the flag in the palm of his hand with a smug slap.
"Governor! General Lejin and Han Zhanggongzi seem to be fighting! Don't we care? ”
Seeing Wang Hou showing off the flag in front of him, looking left and right, Zhao Yun still couldn't help it, and hugged his fist heavily on the side, but Wang Hou, who heard this, didn't even look back, and hummed indifferently.
"Let them go!"
After explaining, he was a little reluctant to hand over the Yuan Shangshuai flag at hand and handed it to a cavalryman next to him.
"Fly back to the camp, report to the prime minister, and then order the remaining reserve army General Wang Zhonglang to quickly bring the ox cart and the people to the general!
"Mark and obey!"
