Chapter 128, Guanzhong Crisis 8
At this time, Hong Chengchou was sitting in Zhang Xianzhong's big tent with several generals, and when he heard that a cavalry pounced on him, Hong Chengchou was shocked, he had already thought of it, could it be that the Qin army had arrived in advance? He ran out of the tent, mounted his horse, and looked around, and sure enough, several thousand horsemen pressed over, and they were already a hundred paces away.
Hong Chengchou could see at a glance that the other party was charging, and the speed of the war horse was about to reach the limit, so he hurriedly shouted the order: "Blow the trumpet, get on the horse, and meet the enemy......"
The officers and soldiers threw down the materials they were counting, pulled out their weapons, mounted those with horses, and formed formations without horses, ready to meet the enemy.
However, the battlefield was too chaotic, full of dead bodies and horses, broken cars and broken tents, and these officers and soldiers were very scattered, so they could not be assembled for a while. Zuo Liangyu's men and horses were all cavalry, but they were also very scattered and could not form an assault formation.
At this time, Ziyi gave an order, and the Qin soldiers and horses began to shout, raised their sabers, and those with bows and arrows began to release arrows at the officers and soldiers.
Although the equipment of the Qin army was not as good as that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, its combat effectiveness was not bad at all, and this charge was stained with the light of the surprise attack, so it did not encounter any resistance, and rushed into the official army.
This assault was almost the same as Cao Wenzhao's, and the officers and troops were rushed to pieces, not in formation, and after Ziyi and others broke in, Li Dang and another lieutenant led a thousand cavalry respectively, and the left and right sides were divided, and the officers and troops were divided and annihilated.
The Qin army was divided into three routes, like three torrents, and the officers and soldiers were at a loss.
Zuo Liangyu had red eyes, and ordered his cavalry to assemble and assault the center of the Qin army, making sure to cut the Qin army into two sections, he personally led the head to charge, Ziyi saw his intentions, and saw that Zuo Liangyu did not have many cavalry, so he ordered a captain to bring five hundred cavalry and intercept Zuo Liangyu head-on.
At this time, it was already dusk, the moon was rising in the east, and the battlefield was not dark at all, because countless tents had already been lit, like a big wax to the sky, illuminating all around.
Several cavalry of the Qin army rampaged in the camp of the official army, and the official army gradually could not support it.
Because these officers and soldiers had just fought a battle, and that battle had already consumed most of their strength, at this time, people did not eat horses and did not feed, and then they entered the next battle, which was indeed a little difficult for these people. Except for Zuo Liangyu's cavalry, which could withstand for a while, the remaining infantry had already suffered heavy casualties.
Sun Chuanting looked at the situation on the battlefield and hurriedly found Hong Chengchou: "My lord, our army can't fight anymore, we must hurry back to the city to defend it." Hong Chengchou didn't want to do this, but Ziyi had already blocked the way back to the city, and the infantry of the official army couldn't rush over.
Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes: "Order Zuo Liangyu to come back, take his cavalry in front, and the infantry follow closely behind, and advance towards the city step by step." No matter what the cost, go back to the city. ”
Shi Kefa took a few cavalry, rushed out of a road, came to Zuo Liangyu's horse, and told Hong Chengchou's order, Zuo Liangyu also fought hard, and immediately ordered all his subordinates to gather, cover the infantry of the brigade, and move towards the city.
Ziyi saw it, sneered, and he ordered Li Dang to take a thousand cavalry and copy to the back of the official army, where there was no cavalry, only infantry, and he himself led three thousand cavalry to intercept it head-on.
Tens of thousands of horses and horses fought together under the city, and under the light of the fire, the blood splattered turned purple and black, showing a strange poignant.
Li Dang took a thousand cavalry, fiercely killed from behind, behind the official army was Sun Chuanting's men and horses, he was in charge of the rear of the palace, barely maintaining the formation, Sun Mengdie rode on the horse, holding a double knife in his hand, watching Li Dang rush over first, he couldn't help but grit his silver teeth, and shouted: "The anti-thief is arrogant." ”
She stepped forward, slashed with a knife, Li Dare raised his knife to greet him, he could see that this was an officer of the Ming Army, the two of them made a few moves, Li Dang frowned, secretly thinking that the two armies were on the battlefield, and the blood was all over the ground, where did the aroma come from? It seems to be still fragrant.
Take a closer look, the young general of the Ming Army who fought with him got rid of a beautiful fetus. He had seen the matchmaker's daughter dressed as a man, and at this time he suddenly realized that this was a female general.
Thinking of this, Li dared to be angry, a girl can walk in front of her horse for several rounds, where does this make her face go?
Thinking of this, he shouted, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but his body was sold a flaw, so that Sun Mengdie slashed into his arms, he dropped his knife, porphyry twice, one in each hand, and grabbed Sun Mengdie's wrists.
Sun Mengdie was taken aback, and struggled hard, wanting to break free of Li Kang's hands, but with her little strength, how could she not help Li Kang's divine power. This struggle didn't move a bit, Li Dang's hands competed, Sun Mengdie's knife was unstable, and he only felt that his two wrists were about to be pinched off.
When there were two sounds, the double knives fell to the ground, and Li Dang shouted: "Don't struggle......"
Gently took it into his arms, and gently lifted Sun Mengdie's body, pressed down on the horse's neck, let go of a hand, and pinched the back of her neck: "If you dare to move, Lao Tzu will break your neck." ”
Sun Mengdie was an unyielding temper who would rather die, and scolded: "Get out of the way, thief, you dare to touch me......"
Li Dang really didn't want to kill her, because killing a girl was not done by a hero, so he raised his palm and gently cut it on the back of Sun Mengdie's head.
This time the fight was not light or heavy, Sun Mengdie felt a roar in his head, and immediately fainted.
Li Dang just put her on the horse and caught her alive.
When Sun Chuanting saw it, he was all burned, his eyes were red, and he rushed up with a sword, and his own soldiers also saw that the young lady was arrested by others, and they were all angry, and they rushed up desperately, wanting to recapture Sun Mengdie.
But Li Gan's cavalry had already rushed up and intercepted them, Li Dang ordered the thousand cavalry to intersperse fiercely, no matter how powerful Sun Chuanting's people were, they couldn't stop the Qin army, and the blood flowed like a river for a while.
Zuo Liangyu in front was firmly blocked by Ziyi with 3,000 cavalry, the conflict could not be opened, and he was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood, seeing that the Qin army behind him killed the official infantry, like a whirlwind and clouds, he knew that it was not good, and if he continued to fight, not only would the infantry be wiped out, but his own cavalry would not be able to bargain, and he might be annihilated here.
He rode back, came to Hong Chengchou, and shouted, "My lord, the situation is not good, we can't enter the city." ”
Hong Chengchou said: "What is General Zuo's opinion? Zuo Liangyu said: "Right now, only abandon Xi'an City, and fight and retreat, I should try my best to protect the adults, break out of the encirclement, and then reorganize and recapture Xi'an." ”
Shi Kefa shouted: "No, even if I die on the battlefield, we must not give up Xi'an." ”
Hong Chengchou said: "What does Lord Sun think? Sun Chuanting led people to rush three times, trying to recapture Sun Mengdie, but failed, but was killed dozens of people, at this time heard Hong Chengchou ask him, Sun Chuanting said: "The only way is to give up Xi'an, get out of this dangerous place first, and then recover in the future." ”
He gritted his teeth and said this, he knew very well what the consequences of withdrawing troops were, which meant that Sun Mengdie would fall into the hands of the enemy and never be able to take it back. It's still a trivial matter if you can't get it back, and her daughter is a fairy-like girl, once she falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences are really unimaginable.
But for the sake of the overall situation, he must put forward this opinion, and he must ensure that Hong Chengchou does not die.
Hong Chengchou was still hesitating: "It's a pity to give up Xi'an, not to mention that if Xi'an is lost, it will be difficult to protect Guanzhong." The whole of Shaanxi is also difficult to preserve. ”
Sun Chuanting said: "There are not many anti-thieves in this force, I don't think they will occupy the city for a long time, and they may automatically withdraw after looting." Zuo Liangyu nodded: "Lord Sun is right, the anti-thief is determined to be in Jinbo, and he will never defend a city and let us fight around." ”
Hong Chengchou looked at it, the casualties of the officers and soldiers were getting heavier and heavier, and if he didn't leave, it wouldn't take half an hour for all the infantry to be wiped out, so he had to order: "General Zuo is in charge of the rear of the palace, and General Shi will lead the cavalry in front and retreat to the east." ”
As soon as this order was given, the rear formation of the officers and soldiers changed to the front formation and began to rush to the east.
Li Kang's cavalry was originally not many, and after killing with Shi Kefa's cavalry, he was no longer able to intercept the infantry, so those infantry hugged Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting and rushed over.
Sun Chuanting walked and looked back, he was looking for his daughter, but among the thousands of troops, where could he see it!
Ziyi saw that the officers and troops began to retreat, and he did not plan to chase to the death, he knew that although the other party was defeated, but the number of people was more than his own Qin army, and there were a lot of cavalry, once the chase was urgent, such a large group of officers and troops turned back and worked hard, and it was difficult to annihilate for a while, fortunately they were retreating to the east, it seems that they have abandoned Xi'an City, and occupying Xi'an is the top priority at the moment, so he ordered the whole army to shrink, let the officers and troops escape, and then assemble under the city.
