Chapter 439: A River Is Hard to Cross

After Wei Zhaodu's arrow, he finally issued a military order, that is, "Quickly guarantee me to escape, there will be heavy thanks in the future!" At this time, the black light was blind, and even the military doctor couldn't fight, so he didn't care about bandaging and disinfection, and he pulled out sharp arrows in a panic left and right, and left and gone.

The victory came so suddenly, when the Liang army won a great victory, they themselves thought they were dreaming.

The defeat came so suddenly, when the Tang army was miserable and panicked and fled for their lives, they almost thought they were having a nightmare. Corpses are strewn all over the field, and they are all in shambles. From victory to defeat, from heaven to hell, the distance was so close, Wei Zhaodu, who was lying on the carriage and was about to fall apart, couldn't believe it until this time.

Luo Hou under the city of Zhenzhou, Fang Chong, Li Maozhen was shocked when he learned of this, they have been weakened since they were assigned to Wei Zhaodu's account, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command were also transferred away by Wei Zhaodu, knowing that nothing could be done, the three of them decided to unite the troops, stabilize the formation, and slowly retreat.

From morning to dusk, followed by night. Yelu Deguang and Kang Huaizhen broke the seventh battalion of the Tang Army. Approaching the army, the whole army was defeated.

Wei Zhaodu abandoned the army and left, and the three armies heard about it. Then he ran big. The Khitans ravaged it with horses, but a river channel cut off the way to retreat, and the only pontoon bridge was also burned because Wei Zhaodu was worried about being caught up by the pursuing soldiers. There are still tens of thousands of horses on the left and right of the Shence Army on the rear road, and there are always sentinels who have been traveling to the east, trying their best to maintain contact with the front army. Even if Wei Zhaodu's army did not have the intention of liaising with Wang Yanzhang and his two armies, he must at least figure out the movements of the frontal Tang Liang army that was in charge of his own army.

Yelu Deguang and Kang Huaizhen used the remaining soldiers and horses extremely ruthlessly. Such a hard battle, such a great victory, but did not give them the slightest respite, and immediately gathered troops and horses. Leaving behind the battlefield of Zhenzhou City, which was already full of sores and emaciation, it was too late to clean up the capture, so he turned east to meet the left and right Second Route Army of Shence.

At this time, although the Liang army was reluctant to march in a group, the banners of each army were fluttering. But no matter how they got off the horse, many of the soldiers had already staggered; Many of them fell asleep while marching. Those who served as servants were even more lagging behind, and Kang Huaizhen didn't care about them, just urged the army to move east. After coming into contact with the Tang Army Sentinel Detective, Kang Huaizhen instead issued a military order to speed up the action. The soldiers of the Liang army, who were already exhausted to the extreme. Even the strength to eat nǎi was taken out, and he struggled forward in the night.

When the battle came to this point, the Liang army didn't seem to care about the final result, and just wanted to sleep somewhere. Beside Kang Huaizhen, a war horse suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. The general, who was already dozing there little by little, suddenly fell and rolled up all over his body when the horse came down, desperately trying to pull his mount up. The war horse was sweating profusely, snorting weakly, and couldn't stand up with weak legs.

The general naturally knew that this war horse was completely exhausted. He glanced at Kang Huaizhen's figure. Kang Huaizhen didn't look at him here, and walked straight forward. The general gritted his teeth, drew his saber and stabbed it fiercely, and heard the wailing of the warhorse. Lie down in the snow and never move again. The general gritted his teeth and put away his sword, and the guards beside him hurriedly gave up a horse and let him ride to chase after Kang Huaizhen. The Liang army is followed by Yelu Deguang's Khitan army, the Khitan army is not in a hurry, anyway, follow the Liang army unhurriedly, Kang Huaizhen tells them to do whatever the Khitan army does, of course, if they meet the Tang army, the Khitan people will also have to pull out their swords, but the premise is that the Liang army has to be in front.

By Kang Huaizhen's side, his henchmen and generals couldn't help but approach him: "General, the sons are all gone, let them rest, otherwise the whole army will collapse!" It's not that the sons and daughters don't contribute, but they are really powerless! ”

Kang Huaizhen turned his head to look at him, and his tone was colder than the weather in December: "Even if we have all the troops." If you wait for the Shence Army on the back road, the left and right Second Route Army will kill the whole army. Can you defeat them like you did Wei Zhaodu? Now it is to break the power of Wei Zhaodu. To the south and deter them, oppress them not to dare to fight a decisive battle with a certain family, they can only retreat towards Weizhou, we can regain the lost territory in one fell swoop, on the contrary, if we also show fatigue at this moment, the Shence Army will let us go? As brave as Wang Yanzhang, Ge Congzhou, will Shang Rang let go of this opportunity, will Zhiru Xu Wen let go of this opportunity? ”

The general was still gritting his teeth and insisting, trying to persuade Kang Huaizhen: "General, what if the Tang army doesn't retreat?" Waiting for us in front, we are so tired that our soldiers and horses are withering. A battle with the Tang army will inevitably lose, it is better to raise the team, collect the capture and lift the weight, even if the left Shence army and the right Shence army do not retreat, we still have the strength to deal with the Tang people! ”

Kang Huaizhen looked at him coldly, shook his head slowly, and sighed: "We don't have the strength to deal with them!" Never! ”

The two armies on the left and right of the Shence Army, there are not many light cavalry sentry scouts, and the three armies still have to master a little cavalry strength as a preparation. The light cavalry of the sentinels who can be scattered is only three or four hundred, which can be said to be a rather weak cavalry reconnaissance force.

When Kang Huaizhen suddenly exerted his strength, his open far barricade immediately completely blocked the cavalry reconnaissance of the left and right armies of the Shence Army. In terms of both quantity and quality, the advantage of the light cavalry borrowed from Yerod Guang was too great.

When his own secret investigation is blocked, even if he does not have first-hand battlefield military information, Xu Wen and Wang Yanzhang are both commanders who lead the troops and generals, how can they not know that Kang Huaizhen has begun to fight with Wei Zhaodu!

Communication between the two armies to the north was cut off, but communication with the rear remained open. While waiting for the troops, the latest military information came in just one day.

The front army was plagiarized by Yelu Deguang and Kang Huaizhen. Wei Zhaodu's entire army was gone, and tens of thousands of people fled. The heavy equipment, as well as the pontoon bridge that was easy to erect, were all burned by the Liang army. The defeated soldiers who can escape to escape back are only twenty or thirty thousand, this is still the result of Li Maozhen, Fang Chong and Luo Hou trying to stabilize the retreat formation, as for the people who carry the baggage, it is even worse, and there are only more than 10,000 people who have fled back. After burning the pontoon bridge and burning the military funds, he was in a hurry to go back and join Kang Huaizhen's main force, and the Tang army was damaged, and it was more than that!
