Chapter 1250: It's a complete giveaway
In fact, the people led by Du Qi were the most fortunate, after all, they only lost more than half of the people, and in the end, seven or eight thousand people arrived in Xindu alive.
But the rest of the men and horses were not so lucky, the army of Xia Quyang was wiped out, and none of them escaped, and the armies of Weichang, Anguo, Raoyang, and Wuji also suffered heavy losses, and in the end, only a few hundred people escaped, and the rest were all killed or captured.
Song Ming was not as lucky as Du Qi when he withdrew from Lunu to Zhongshan Taishou Song, he encountered the interception of the Yue cavalry battalion, the kind of chariot means to deal with ordinary cavalry, it was ineffective to deal with the archers, the Yue cavalry battalion did not need to attack at all, only followed them in parallel, and the feather arrows were projected into it, on this way, the Yue cavalry battalion smashed tens of thousands of arrows, and Song Ming was hit by a stray arrow and died on the spot.
The lack of shields and armor is the biggest weakness of the Jizhou army, Jizhou has recruited so many recruits, the problem of equipment has not been solved, after all, the imperial court can not take out so much armor and ordnance, the most used weapons in the Jizhou army are spears and bows and arrows, as for the armor, more than eighty percent of the army is not.
These weapons and equipment are not a problem to defend the city, but they have a fatal flaw in the field, and due to the lack of protection capabilities, it is difficult for them to escape the attack of arrows.
In comparison, the Zhending army led by Du Qi was relatively lucky, they encountered the Xiao cavalry battalion with strong melee combat ability, but did not encounter the Yue cavalry battalion with strong long-range attack power, so they relied on Changyu bows and arrows and broken vehicles, and reluctantly held out to the outside of Xindu City, not only Du Qi saved his life, but half of the Zhending army was finally lucky.
And the Lu Nu army is more unlucky, even if the Lu Nu army, like the Zhending army, uses all kinds of miscellaneous vehicles to cobble together a defensive formation, but the Yue cavalry battalion they encountered does not fight with them in close quarters at all, does not attack their camp, but only uses bows and arrows to carry out long-range attacks.
The rain of arrows fell on the Lunu army, there were not many shields, there was not much armor, how could they resist this sharp arrow with their flesh and blood.
What's more, in order to maintain the formation, the Lunu army has been crowded together, and the formation is very dense, which makes them unable to dodge the arrows falling overhead, not every arrow will hit the target, but at least there are misses, and the Jizhou soldiers have no way to dodge and cannot avoid.
Song Ming was dressed in armor, and he was also hit by several arrows on his body, but he was finally protected by armor, and even if he was injured, it was only a skin injury.
But a skirt lintel, drinking cold water can stuff your teeth, at this moment Song Ming is pulling his throat to command the army, his mouth is wide open, a stray arrow, out of nowhere flew over, impartially through the mouth, Song Ming was killed immediately.
As soon as Song Ming died, the entire Lunu army was completely chaotic, and they scattered and fled, panicking.
After the formation was scattered, the situation became chaotic, although it was easier for the Yue cavalry battalion to kill the enemy, but because of their large numbers, it was not easy for the Yue cavalry to be completely annihilated, until Qiu Lin led the army to respond, and finally two or three thousand Rao Lu Nu troops escaped, and the rest either died under the random arrows, or were captured by the Bingzhou army, and the losses were even heavier than the Zhending army.
However, the Lunu army is not the worst after all, and the worst is probably the Nanpi army.
Bohai County is one of the most marginal counties in Jizhou, especially after Anping County fell, Nanpi was almost reduced to an island.
However, as soon as they left Nanpi, the Bohai Navy was intercepted by the Bingzhou cavalry, and what was even more disastrous was that they encountered the Tun cavalry battalion, which ignored the defensive formation of the Bohai Navy at all, and went on a rampage all the way, and in an instant, the formation of the Bohai Navy was scattered.
Cheng Yuan was miserable, what chariots were linked, what spears were in formation, in front of the Tun cavalry camp, the fragile was like a piece of window paper, which would rot when stabbed, and there was no power to parry at all, only the share of being crushed.
The Bohai Navy couldn't resist it, and fled in all directions, and Cheng Yuan didn't prohibit it, anyway, it was a death for both horizontal and vertical sides, so it was better to let these sergeants flee separately, and maybe there would be a chance to escape.
Cheng Yuan's idea is good, but he is not only facing the cantonment cavalry battalion, but also the infantry battalion and the Xiandeng battalion, an invisible net has already cut off their way back, even if the Bohai Navy can escape the cantonment cavalry battalion by luck, but it can't escape the blockade line of the infantry battalion and the Xiandeng battalion, so in the end, the Bohai Navy was wiped out in the area of Anping County, and none of them escaped.
Even Cheng Yuan was captured, and at the same time there were groups of Bohai Navy, in a desperate and helpless situation, surrender was the only way to avoid death, so these Jizhou soldiers finally chose to surrender rather than fight to the death.
When Cheng Yuan was captured, he hung his head, like a defeated rooster, and he was extremely depressed.
Cheng Yuan is a new Taishou who has just been promoted by Zhong Hui, and he is deeply honored to be able to participate in the defense system in the north of Jizhou, and he has every reason to think that as long as Jizhou fights well in this battle, his career will be bright, and it will be no problem for him to leap into the dragon gate in the future.
Therefore, he was the most active in guarding Nanpi, and after taking office, he devoted himself to the defense of the city almost day and night, and tried his best to build a rock-solid and impregnable city.
But Lu Zhao's retreat document made Cheng Yuan's two years of hard work come to naught, when he left Nanpi, Cheng Yuan was really a little unwilling, but he was also helpless, he even fantasized that he hoped that one day he could return to Nanpi and kill the state army.
It's a pity that it was only a moment after leaving Nanpi, and the entire Bohai Navy was wiped out, and he knew that it would be such a miserable end, so he might as well stick to Nanpi, even if the result was worse, it wouldn't be worse than the current situation.
In the field battle, the Jizhou army is really not the opponent of the Jizhou army, such a gap is not a star and a half, but the difference between the soil, losing the protection of the city, the Jizhou army is really only left to be crushed.
The above stupid decision completely buried the Bohai Navy, otherwise, they would stick to Nanpi, at least they could consume tens of thousands of catapult stone bombs, but now, it is completely for others to send heads, which is really a big tragedy.
