Chapter 512: Deserted and Escaped
It should be said that the Huns now have an obvious advantage, but the tenacious defense of the Wei army makes the Huns feel struggling.
A battle that looked like the Hun cavalry could win on the surface, but it was always a long way from the end, and the Huns saw hope, but they could not win it in a short time.
Just when Liu Yue was about to put all his reserves into the attack, he unexpectedly received a news, that is, Suo Gan in the north failed to intercept it, Suo Gan himself was killed in battle, and the Wei cavalry was already outside the camp.
Liu Yue, who heard the news, poured a basin of cold water on him, pouring him a cold heart.
Isn't it said that the men and horses sent out can at least stop the Wei cavalry for half a day, but the current situation is that Suogan's side is completely defeated, and it can't stop the Wei cavalry for a long time.
The appearance of the Yue cavalry battalion unexpectedly disrupted Liu Yue's plan, he originally wanted to concentrate on attacking Xiliulin with all his strength, and estimated that it would take another half a day to completely win the battle.
But it backfired, the Wei cavalry arrived ahead of schedule, which made Liu Yue shudder, and the scene of the Pingyang fiasco kept flashing in his mind, if he fought with the Wei cavalry again, he might lose even worse than the last time.
Liu Yue, who has always been cautious, immediately ordered a retreat, leaving the green mountains behind, not afraid of no firewood, this is Liu Yue's creed, since he knew that he could not defeat the Wei cavalry, Liu Yue would never dare to risk his life and take risks to gamble.
This result was extremely regrettable for Liu Yue, seeing that the victory that was about to come slipped from his fingertips, it can be said that this time the Huns' attack failed again.
But failure is better than losing one's life, Liu Yue can see this, if there is a life, there is hope for a comeback, if the life is gone, there will be nothing.
However, his order was issued a little late, after all, at this moment, the Hun army was divided into two routes, and the north and south attacked the Wei army camp at the same time, and the battle line was too long, and it would take some time for the order to be issued.
But Deng Ai didn't seem to give Liu Yue such a chance, he had just arrived in Xiliulin, and without stopping at all, he ordered the Yueqi battalion to attack with all his might.
At this moment, the attention of the Huns was all on the side of Xiliulin, and the most elite cavalry team was also put into the attack, and the entire rear team of the Huns was their weakest part. The Yue Cavalry Battalion rushed all the way in, as if entering a no-man's land, like a broken bamboo.
Even if the Huns tried their best to fight with the Yue cavalry battalion, they might not be able to defeat them, not to mention some non-main cavalry on the periphery, and in an instant, the Huns' front was rushed by the Yue cavalry battalion.
However, at this time, Liu Yue's order was also conveyed, requiring the Huns to retreat on all fronts, so the Huns fled one after another, and as for the camp tents, grain and grass, baggage, ordnance and other materials, they were all discarded.
The situation on the whole battlefield was chaotic, because Liu Yue had already taken the lead in escaping, the entire Xiongnu army fell into a leaderless situation, and everyone was fleeing frantically, just afraid of running slower than others and being caught up by the Wei cavalry.
The psychological shadow brought to the Huns by the Battle of Pingyang is still lingering, including the commander Liu Yue, who participated in the Battle of Pingyang, all of them regard the Wei cavalry as a nightmare, and as soon as they heard the news that the Wei cavalry came to help, they fled in a desperate way, and they did not even have the slightest intention of resisting.
In such a chaotic situation, it was impossible for the Huns to organize some effective counteroffensive.
Mengdu was originally directing the vanguard troops to launch a fierce attack on the Wei infantry position in Xiliulin, although the battle situation was relatively stalemate, but the Hun cavalry still occupied a certain advantage, they had broken through several defensive lines of the Wei army in a row, if they could continue to advance by victory, Mengdu believed that it would not take more than a day to completely defeat the Wei army.
But at this time, Mengdu suddenly received an order from Liu Yue, asking him to give up the attack and withdraw immediately. Mengdu is confused, he has just made some progress here, but Liu Yue wants to withdraw his troops, what kind of song is this?
After Meng Du asked the heralds, he learned that it was the cavalry of the Wei army that killed back, which couldn't help but make Meng Du shocked, didn't he say that the Wei cavalry was still a hundred miles away, why did they kill back so quickly?
"Didn't the commander send Suo Gantou to lead the troops to intercept it, why didn't he block the Wei cavalry?" Mondu said in confusion.
The herald said: "The Suogantou people have been defeated and killed, and the rest of the troops fled back, saying that they fought with the Wei cavalry, and they were defeated in less than half an hour, and now that the Wei cavalry has been killed, the Mengdu head people should withdraw their troops quickly, otherwise I am afraid it will be too late." ”
Meng Du and Liu Yue also participated in the Battle of Pingyang, and knew the strength of the Wei army's cavalry, but Suo Gan led thousands of men and horses, but he didn't expect that the whole army would be wiped out in less than half an hour, and the combat power of the Wei cavalry was too terrifying, right?
At this point, there is no point in attacking the Wei army again, but will be seized by the Wei army, and the inside and outside should be combined, Mengdu does not want to end up with a Suogan, so he also urgently ordered the Huns to stop the attack and retreat immediately.
After the vanguard of Mengdu joined the retreat, the retreat of the Huns became even more chaotic, and the roads in the mountains were not wide, and the defeated troops of the Huns rushed up in a swarm, becoming more crowded.
Everyone wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, so that the Huns in all parts did not give in to each other, and a conflict broke out in order to grab the road, and the result was that the road was blocked alive and no one could pass.
This undoubtedly created a good opportunity for the pursuit of the Yue cavalry battalion, Deng Ai led the Yue cavalry battalion in the battle formation of the Huns, rampage, all the way to the pursuit, did not encounter the slightest favorable resistance of the Huns, this battle, seems to have evolved into a one-sided massacre.
Cao Liang saw the defeat and retreat of the Huns, so he concluded that the Yue cavalry battalion had been killed, and the Huns were in chaos in the north and stable in the south, which proved that the tun cavalry camp had not yet appeared.
Although Cao Liang hoped that the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion could attack separately and attack from both sides, and strive to completely annihilate the southern Xiongnu. But Cao Liang also understood that the combat power of the Tun Cavalry Battalion could not be compared with the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion could complete the reinforcement in such a short period of time, but the Tun Cavalry Battalion could not do it, which can prove this.
However, each of the ten fingers has its own strengths and weaknesses, and Cao Liang cannot expect the Tun Cavalry Camp to grow overnight to the point where it can sit side by side with the Yue Cavalry Battalion.
