Chapter 537: The Decisive Battle II
The order is communicated.
Deng Lingguang, who was fighting with the Vietnamese army in front, immediately shouted at the Vietnamese army: "Those who retreat will not be killed, and those who resist will die." ”
Then, the surrounding Chu army soldiers also shouted: "Those who retreat will not be killed, and those who resist will die." ”
When the Vietnamese soldiers heard this, some did not believe it, some hesitated, and some were eager to try.
Deng Lingguang saw the expressions of the Vietnamese soldiers in his eyes, so he immediately made a decision, and showed no mercy to those who did not retreat, and the sharp swords in their hands were merciless, often raising and falling with their swords, and directly stabbing them to death.
For the other two kinds of people, it is mainly to drive away, and similarly, if there is a slow movement that does not have long eyes, it will also be directly killed on the spot.
And the other officers and soldiers of the Chu army also took the same action.
In the rear of the vanguard of the Vietnamese army, after Wang Xing heard the shouts of the Chu army, he immediately ordered: "Order, let the guards shout, reinforcements have arrived, and those who retreat are dead." ”
"No."
Then, in the rear of the Vietnamese army, there was an immediate roar of "reinforcements have arrived, those who retreat are dead".
Hearing this voice, the morale of the fighting Vietnamese troops recovered slightly. Then he barely stopped his retreat.
Seeing this, Wang Xing, who was in the back, breathed a sigh of relief, but asked with an ugly face: "Has the front army arrived?" ”
The adjutant general quickly glanced at the rear, and saw a large number of Vietnamese soldiers rushing over under the drive of the general, and immediately responded: "General, reinforcements will arrive soon." ”
Wang Xing nodded, and then, looking at the vanguard on the verge of collapse, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, he wanted to let the front army support, but the front army's movements were a little sluggish, so that the vanguard was already on the verge of collapse, and it was too late.
But...
Wang Xing glanced in the direction of the main force of the Chu army, and when he saw the Chu army and sent reinforcements, he knew what the commander on the opposite side was paying attention to.
Thinking about it, he sneered: "Although the soldiers are elite, but my Vietnamese army is not bad, the general will not believe it, with nearly ten times the strength, he can't win against this mere three thousand soldiers." ”
As he spoke, Wang Xing's eyes were cold, and he said: "Pass the order, let the front army charge the Chu army, and attack against the attack." ”
"No."
After a pause, Wang Xing glanced at the main force of the Chu army again, and was a little worried that the Chu army would suddenly kill, that is, in the face of the Chu army that was waiting for work, with his Huaibei army, he might not be able to withstand it.
After thinking about it, he ordered again: "Send someone to tell Gongzi Hoof and ask him to speed up the mobilization of the main force of our army, just say that Ben will not last much time." ”
The adjutant general glanced at the Chu army who was about to fight in the vanguard, a burst of horror flashed in his eyes, and he immediately responded: "It's the general, the last general will send someone to summon Gongzi!" ”
Soon, the front army received the general's order, and they accelerated their speed and rushed towards the Chu army that was fighting.
At this time, among the Vietnamese troops who were still fighting, most of the soldiers who did not retreat from the fight died, and the soldiers who looked forward and looked backward, under the powerful offensive of the guards wave after wave, saw that the friendly troops around them were constantly killed, and the Chu soldiers were under the protection of the armor, and there were few wounded.
Seeing this, the Vietnamese soldiers couldn't help but be afraid, and the original resistance due to the imminent arrival of reinforcements soon disappeared.
Then, under the continuous offensive of the Guards, he involuntarily retreated backwards.
This retreat directly led to the collapse of morale, and almost in an instant, the whole line collapsed, and more than a thousand remaining soldiers retreated one after another.
Deng Lingguang was fighting, and suddenly his eyes were empty, and when he saw the defeat of the Vietnamese army, he immediately rejoiced: "The Vietnamese army has been defeated, chase!" ”
At this time, the Vietnamese reinforcements were less than 200 steps away from the battlefield.
And Wang Xing, who was urging the reinforcements around him to put into the battlefield as soon as possible, saw that the vanguard army was defeated, and he was also defeated in the direction of the reinforcements, and suddenly a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he scolded: "The vanguard general should be killed." ”
At this time, the Huaibei army in the charge suddenly saw the rout of the friendly army in front of it, and suddenly froze, and then, seeing the vanguard rushing towards him, he had not yet reacted, whether to kill the rout, and was rushed into the formation by the rout.
Then, after the defeat of the Chu army, they also took advantage of the situation to enter the battle, and their morale suddenly plummeted.
First engagement.
The Huaibei Army, which had just joined the battlefield, felt that the situation was very wrong.
The Chu army on the opposite side often formed a small formation of five people, or ten people fought together, covering each other and attacking together.
It is clear that the number of the Yue army is far more than that of the Chu army, although there are all comrades-in-arms around them, but they always feel that the number of people on the opposite side is more than their own side, and they always feel as if they are fighting alone, and it seems that they need to face several people at the same time.
Often the sword in the hand is cut out hard, but it is blocked by the opposite person with a shield or weapon, and the sword has not been withdrawn, and several swords are stabbed at the same time on the opposite side, and then the body hurts, and it is either injured or killed.
For a time, the Huaibei army did not know whether it was the Chu army or their Yue army that was besieged.
Soon, the Huaibei Army discovered a frustrating fact.
That is, even if the other party is hit, there is no feeling of a sharp sword entering the flesh, but the opponent's hard leather armor is blocked, even if it cuts through the layers of protective leather armor, it is difficult to cause serious injuries to the Chu army, let alone directly hack the other party to death.
After fighting for a while, I found that the Chu army was dead, but on my side, under the powerful offensive of the Chu army, the surrounding soldiers were like straws, and they were cut by the Chu army one after another, the former one fell, and the latter fell, and the death was worthless.
Not long after, under the large number of casualties, the Vietnamese army lost all morale, lost their fighting spirit, and lost their morale.
The consequence of the continuous drop in morale was that the Vietnamese army, which numbered more than 20,000 people, retreated under the offensive of the 3,000 Chu army.
Sensing the retreat of the Vietnamese army, the morale of the Chu army was suddenly greatly boosted, and the three-point strength was born in vain, and the offensive became more fierce for a while.
Between an increase and a decrease, the Vietnamese army was killed by the Chu army and retreated, if the number of the Vietnamese army was far more than the Chu army, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army would collapse directly at this moment.
The former military department of the Chu army, Jing Cui, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, saw that the 20,000 reinforcements of the Yue State were actually killed and retreated by the guards commanded by Gongsun Yan.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately showed a look of great joy.
Originally, as long as Gongsun Yan could withstand this wave of charges from the Yue reinforcements, as long as the guards could consume the morale and strength of the reinforcements.
No, the strength of the Guards far exceeded expectations, and in the face of nearly ten times the enemy army, it was still able to firmly gain the upper hand.
Seeing this, Jing Cui's voice became a few points louder in vain, and he ordered loudly: "Order the front army, let their whole army press, prepare to assist the guards, defeat the Vietnamese army in front in one fell swoop, and then push the battlefield forward and kill the main force of the Vietnamese army." ”
As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately responded loudly: "No." ”
Soon, a drum sounded at the front army, and then, the 30,000 soldiers of the front army marched to the battlefield with firm steps in the excited drums.
After the front army set off, Jing Cui ordered again: "Pass my general's order, order the Chinese army to be ready for battle, and be ready to encircle the main force of the Vietnamese army at any time." ”
