Chapter 57: The History of the Cunning Rabbit
The battle began immediately.
It was Sima Ju and Lan Wei who commanded the mouth, and Sima Ju originally thought that Liu Qing would run away after being attacked like last time. Unexpectedly, Liu Qing not only did not run, but even commanded his own soldiers to resist stubbornly.
Sima Ju thought he was an assaulter, but he was first attacked by Liu Qing's elite. Fortunately, the troops were well trained, first a rain of arrows weakened the fighting will of Liu Qing's personal guards, and then the white-knuckle battle of the pikes, two successive assaults, it was only after defeating Liu Qing's personal soldiers and turning the battle into the rhythm of pursuit warfare.
Once in pursuit, this momentum cannot be reversed. Originally, Liu Qingbu lost its establishment in the process of looting and pursuing Zhang Luo's troops, and without officers to take the lead, the Han army could only follow the "mass effect" action, that is, run all the way down the relatively easy road.
Even so, the Han army did not run for their lives stupidly, and they tried to disperse at several intersections. However, Bian Xi had already sent reconnaissance troops to investigate the terrain and roads. As the Han army approached these intersections, the Taiping Road pikemen immediately blocked the intersections, and the archers began to shoot, driving the Han troops back to the main road through these gaps.
When the Han army left many corpses along the way and was reluctantly driven into the final decisive battle, they saw that it was a female army that stopped in front of them.
Even as a defeated soldier, this group of defeated warriors did not take the army of women into account at all. Even though there was a long line of spears in front of them, the warriors still rushed over with shouting. Soon, the warrior was getting closer and closer to the women, and they could even make out that a step or two in front of the neat procession of the women were several men and women standing, not spears in their hands, but ring-headed knives raised high.
No matter how much this move was beyond the imagination of Han Yong, who was running at the front, what Han Yong cared about was that these women had not attacked with guns until now, which made Han Yong emboldened. It was the men who lined up on either side of the women, and Han Yong, who was fleeing, naturally didn't want to touch this hard nail. As long as they can break through the queue of women in front of them, they will be able to escape.
After all, it's a woman, just pretend. The distance between the two sides was within forty paces, and Han Yong clearly saw the women's faces and the packages on their backs. A few steps further will be able to reap both wealth and wealth, and Han Yong's minds are full of such thoughts.
At this moment, the female team officer standing at the front shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" ”
The archers of the rear team began to shoot arrows, and within a distance of forty paces, the hit rate was extremely high. It's also a four-stage array. In the blink of an eye, Han Yong was shot down by rows of shots.
The Han Yong, who had not fallen, stopped in front of the female unit as if they had been whipped by a whip.
Hit head-on by the rain of arrows, the Han Yongs forgot that it was a group of women who kept shooting arrows, and even more forgot that they were satisfied with the mockery not long ago, trying to easily break through the line of this group of women. In front of the flying arrows, Han Yong turned and ran. Their so-called courage at the beginning was just a unique psychological advantage in the face of women. When the opponent is a strong man who dares to fight, the only choice these Han Yong will make is to flee.
The escape of the Han army was tantamount to giving up the last possibility of survival, and the pikemen on both sides began to charge the forward Han army, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a posture of pursuit. Since the Taiping Dao Uprising, there have been many such battles. Once the local Han army front retreated, the entire Han army collapsed. In the past, the collapse of the Han army, Taiping Dao could only cover up. This time, the Han army fell into the carefully planned trap of Taiping Dao, and just like the battle at the Zhanghe River, the Han army was surrounded and annihilated.
As the sun began to set in the west, Bian Xi asked aloud to the troops in charge of searching for the body, "What?" Didn't find Liu Qing? ”
Zhang Luo repeatedly ordered in the army that scolding was not allowed. Swearing just because you're upset doesn't solve anything. For people like Bian Xi, who admire Zhang Luo very much, such a loud voice is already a manifestation of extreme anger. Bian Xi's anger was also justified, after his carefully planned battle plan was completed, Liu Qing's subordinates were annihilated, but when examining the captured Han army and the corpses of the Han army, Liu Qing could not be found.
Failing to kill Liu Qing in the battle is tantamount to returning to the mountain. After the rise of the Taiping Dao Uprising, there were many Han army officers who were beaten to the annihilation of the whole army. As long as there are people above to protect them, the Han army will still transfer new subordinates to these senior officers. For example, the sect members have been defeated twice so far, and their troops have almost suffered casualties. According to the confessions of the officers among the captives that were just captured, the sect members are still guarding Guangzong.
failed to kill Liu Qing, but only annihilated Liu Qing's current troops, which is not equivalent to annihilating the "Liu Qing Division". It won't be long before the new Liu Qingbu will continue to appear on the battlefield and entangle with Taipingdao. A big victory did not get the expected result, and as the chief of staff, Bian Xi felt that his credit was greatly reduced.
Not long after Bian Xi finished drinking, Zhang Luo arrived at the General Staff. He looked at Bian Xi's angry and ruined appearance, and asked the reason. After learning that Liu Qing had actually escaped, Zhang Luo couldn't help laughing. "Liu Qing, this guy really can't be underestimated."
Zhang Luo's laughter can be regarded as relieving Bian Xi, if Zhang Luo doesn't care about Bian Xi's hard work and blames him, then Bian Xi will only feel deeply aggrieved. Bian Xi could only say hatefully: "Next time, I will send more troops to the pursuit force, and I will definitely not let these treacherous people escape." ”
patted the annoyed Bian Xi on the shoulder, and Zhang Luo comforted: "Next time, let's talk about the next time, the encirclement that is several miles long can be guaranteed to be foolproof." ”
Sighing, Bian Xi asked Zhang Luo: "What about these captives?" ”。
Of the 2,000 Han soldiers, more than 800 were killed in the battle, and more than 500 were captured, except for those who escaped the encirclement. Taiping Dao drove the Han army to clean up the battlefield, search for corpses, and after searching for corpses, they ordered the more than 500 captives to strip themselves naked.
As a result, these Han soldiers did not forget to secretly stuff things into themselves when searching for corpses. Some Han soldiers even hid the silver in their mouths. It's just that the appearance of never opening his mouth with his mouth closed is too conspicuous, and after being ordered to open his mouth, he is exposed. After the victory, Taiping Dao was in a better mood, so he did not execute the prisoners, but ordered each of them to open their mouths and examine these guys one by one.
Speaking of this battlefield tale of still asking for money and not dying after being a prisoner, Bian Xi, who was full of upset, was also happy. Zhang Luo felt even more funny, and couldn't help laughing, "Put away their weapons and strip off their clothes." Leave a few as guides, and let the rest go. ”
Because he ran away from Liu Qing, Bian Xi was unhappy, and these Han Yong had been fighting against Zhang Luo, and he had no intention of cooperating or even surrendering, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Just let it go, isn't it not good." ”
"No, are you still going to kill them all?" Zhang Luo asked.
When it came to killing prisoners, Bian Xi no longer insisted. While they were talking, the soldiers also rushed to the location of the staff headquarters. Under such a big victory, everyone is high-spirited. Even if they learned that Liu Qing was not caught, everyone was not discouraged. Duan Rui even smiled: "If you don't catch it this time, there will be next time, one day he will have to fall into our hands." ”
