Chapter 437: Stop

One part of the formation was opened, and immediately the rest of the enemy cavalry rushed towards them like sharks smelling blood. In this way, Huan Wen's army was simply like a river embankment bursting, which was originally just a small gap, but slowly became bigger and bigger. Although it is said that Huan Wen had already begun to prepare when he saw the mounted cavalry, it was already a little too late.

When a group of cavalry entered the infantry, that scene could almost be imagined. In particular, the Jiangzuo army was not as good as the Huashan army, and was not equipped with weapons to deal with cavalry like them, so it was simply unable to deal with these rampaging enemy cavalry.

In just a moment's effort, the entire military formation almost became chaotic. After the cavalry of the Yan army rushed into the military formation, they began to run in all directions, relying on the strength of the war horse, who could stop the foot soldiers!

The army of 10,000 people slowly fell into pieces. Seeing this, Huan Wen tried his best to gather soldiers, and personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and fought the enemy with a group of generals. But the war has reached this point, and in fact, it has achieved very little.

Unless reinforcements arrived, or they had the weapons to deal with the cavalry, defeat was almost inevitable once such a situation occurred.

Throughout the history of wars, almost every time I saw such a scene, after the enemy cavalry broke into the military formation, it was followed by a great defeat.

Huan Wen is very aware of this, but he has no other way at this time, the Yellow River, which was originally used as his own battle, has become his own desperate road at this moment. At this moment, he suddenly regretted that he had decided to cross the river too rashly.

"General, let's hurry up! Flee as much as you can, and if we stay here, we'll all be wiped out!" Immediately go east, rush to join the warship, and there will be a glimmer of life! Everyone persuaded in unison, and in this situation, no one could see hope.

"Alas! Withdrawal! Huan Wen listened, glanced at the chaotic scene around him, and finally could only sigh helplessly and give the order to withdraw the army.

In fact, without his order, the army had already begun to scatter and flee. It was only with this military order that the army began to move eastward, preparing to join the warships.

At this time, the naval warship that had already received the news was constantly rushing upstream, but if the boat sailed against the current like this, the speed could not be particularly fast. As a result, when Huan Wen decided to retreat, there was still a distance of nearly twenty miles between the two.

The Jin army ran wildly all the way, but how could it outrun the enemy's cavalry, the enemy cavalry pursued the army closely, chasing all the way and killing all the way, and there were countless corpses along the way. That kind of scene is really shocking.

The army chased out about ten miles, and Huan Wen saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers behind him, but there were more and more enemy horses, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart. And at this time, his own warship has not even seen a shadow.

"Could it be that God really bless me, and I am going to die here today?" Huan Wen couldn't help but think in his heart.

"General, look, it looks like our warship!" Just when he was a little desperate, someone suddenly shouted beside him!

Hearing this, Huan Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly looked towards the river. Sure enough, on the river downstream, there were sail shadows at this time, and they were heading towards this side, although it didn't seem to be big, but the speed was very fast.

"Hahahaha, God won't kill me! Quick, let's get over at once, board the ship and evacuate immediately! Seeing this scene, Huan Wen only felt that it was the endless road, and immediately whipped the war horse under the seat a few times.

"Knock knock ......!" It didn't take long for the boats on the river to get closer and closer, and not only were there boats, but there were also drums and shouts from the warships.

The ships that came were large and small, but each ship was planted with the flag of Huanwen's army, and anyone with a discerning eye knew at a glance that this was Huanwen's reinforcements had arrived. The Yan cavalry who were originally chasing on the shore saw the Huan Wen reinforcements arrive at this time, and the speed of the pursuit couldn't help but slow down suddenly.

It didn't take long for Huan Wen to finally join up with these ships. These soldiers who were lucky enough to escape, when they saw the savior arriving at this time, they couldn't help but boost their morale and speed up one after another.

"Hurry up and get ashore! Huan Yun, you lead the people behind the palace to cover the army to board the ship! Huan Wen shouted.

Soon, the ships all came over! Seeing this, the soldiers on the shore climbed up to the boat as if they were desperate, and they all thought about leaving this ghost place as soon as possible and returning to a safe place.

"General, get on board quickly! If it's late, I'm afraid it'll be too late! A larger ship approached in front of Huan Wen, and Xi Chao walked out of it and urged.

"Jingyu, why are you here?" When Huan Wen saw that it was him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked.

Xiaguan stayed in Luoyang City for a while, and finally felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he asked someone to find some boats to come over, ready to see how the situation was here. It just so happened that he ran into a messenger sent by the general, so he rushed over immediately! Xi Chao replied.

He didn't say it too bluntly, in fact, Huan Wen understood what he meant, in fact, in the final analysis, he still felt that there might be problems in his line, so he came to answer it. However, it's good that he is here, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the big ship to come, and my people will be finished.

"Respect for the public opinion, I regret not listening to you!" After sighing, Huan Wen couldn't help but say.

"The general, please come aboard, the navy will arrive later. When the time comes, the enemy will not dare to pursue them again! Xi Chao arched his hand.

Huan Wen nodded, then got on the boat and slowly sailed away from the shore.

On the shore, the enemy attack continued, but the offensive was much more relaxed than before. After all, the ships can also put bows and arrows, and there is a certain threat to them.

And Jiangshang can't run horses, and the enemy can't fight it, so the battle will naturally not be able to fight.

Especially not long after, the large ships of the navy appeared here, and the speed of the withdrawal of the army was much faster. In the end, under the cover of the navy, Huan Wen finally led a part of the army to slowly withdraw to the south bank.

"King, why don't we chase after us?" On a mountain on the north shore, Murong Ke and the others were stationed here, watching the battle situation ahead. At this time, seeing Huan Wen and the others slowly driving downstream, someone couldn't help asking.

"What about chasing after the past? Just as Huan Wen was defeated by us just now, if we go over there, I'm afraid it will be the same fate. The other party has a water army, and it will always pose a threat to us! Now that the situation is back to the same as before, it's okay, after this defeat, Huan Wen shouldn't think about crossing the river anymore. For us, it can be regarded as a peace of mind! Murong Ke looked at the scene on the river from a distance and said lightly.

After Huan Wen returned to the shore, he immediately regrouped his army and horses, and asked people to count the number of people.

"General, only 3,000 people have returned from the 10,000 army. The rest were either killed in the battle over there, or were swept into the river by the enemy when they were on board the ship and their whereabouts are unknown. In this battle, we have suffered heavy losses! When Huan Yun came back to report, his mood was a little low.

Huan Wen listened, and couldn't help but be silent. After all, the responsibility for this defeat can be said to be entirely on him. If it weren't for the fact that he was not prepared and rushed to pursue the enemy, the result would not have turned out like this.

After all, if nothing else, if the cooperation with the navy was ready, it would not have turned out like this when the final evacuation was made. Not to mention, knowing the terrain on the opposite side, he didn't even have a cavalry and killed him directly.

"Let's go back to Luoyang and discuss again!" In the end, Huan Wen just said lightly.

The news of Huan Wen's defeat soon spread back to Chang'an Li Xin.

"As expected, I thought that Murong Ke would not withdraw so easily! Now he finally understands that he clearly wants to use this kind of hurried withdrawal to make Huan Wen think that he is afraid. After all, if this is not the case, it is unlikely that Huan Wen will chase after him. Sure enough, Huan Wen's mistake of rejoicing in his achievements was repeated, and he fell for Murong Ke! After reading the news, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"But that's a good thing! From now on, it is unlikely that Huan Wen will dare to cross the river again, if he honestly guards the line of Luoyang, it will be a lot of benefits for us. This way, we can also focus more on other places! Wang Meng thought for a moment and spoke.

"Yes! Huan Wen didn't dare to march. And with Murong Ke's character, it should not be possible for him to cross the river again before he is threatened by the navy. In this way, the two sides can only confront each other across the river, and the two sides will stop, and the war will naturally subside. It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can predict what changes will happen to the situation in the next step, so we still can't relax our vigilance! Li Xin nodded and said to him.

"Just let Chen Kang and Zhao Ji be on guard, and after some time, it will be the time of the summer harvest again, let's take care of this matter first!"

"That's natural! If there is another bumper harvest this year, then our consumption from last year should be made up. Judging from the situation in various places, there have been no natural disasters in the world in the past two years, especially in Jiangzuo and other places. Therefore, the price of grain in Jiangzuo and other places is very low, and we can just take advantage of this opportunity to buy a large amount of grain into the warehouse. That way, you don't have to worry about it when you need to use it in the future! Speaking of this matter, Li Xin thought of the information sent by the Ministry of Affairs recently, and said.

Today's staff is not only involved in military intelligence, but also in the collection of people's livelihood and other situations in various places at the request of Li Xin.
