How does this work?

Li Shun didn't know either, he couldn't fight at all.

The explosive weapons of the Tiance Army covered three ranges: far, middle and near.

The ranged attack is the kind of crockpot that can be fired by the trebuchet that can explode, the center is dense with explosive arrow rain, and the close point is the kind of bamboo tube that can shoot small metal particles and black bumps that can explode.

Many troops managed to break through the camp, but then they fell under those black iron bumps and spears, how can this be fought?

Li Shun kept asking himself in the back.

In fact, he can fight, after all, Li Shun still has a lot of people in his hands, although he has suffered heavy losses, but there are still a lot of cavalry and infantry combined. As long as Li Shun has the idea of fighting hard, let the troops attack the Tiance army camp desperately, and the people around Li Ye can't stop it at all, and it can be seen from some Xichuan troops rushing into the camp that the number is the biggest flaw of the Shenji battalion.

The second is melee ability, because if you are familiar with various firearms, your melee level will inevitably be affected.

But the Xichuan army was afraid, really afraid, and the fear that came from their bones made them not dare to charge forward at all.

Li Ye saw this scene in front of him, and he was also a little unbearable, to put it bluntly, these people who died in front of him were also the people of Datang. But this is not the time for mercy, and the situation in front of us is either you die or I die.

Seeing those Xichuan soldiers who didn't dare to attack, Li Ye raised his sword, "Cavalry attack!" ”

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

In a shout, Link led the three thousand Jinyi Guard cavalry to launch a charge, and the soldiers of the three thousand Shenji Battalion also put down their bows and arrows and magic machine guns, took out their swords and spears, and followed behind the Jinyi Guard cavalry with neat steps.

At the same time as the Jinyi Guard cavalry launched a charge, the thousands of soldiers reserved by the left and right Tiance armies each launched an attack on the left and right sides of the Xichuan Chinese army.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over!"

Li Shun, who was in the rear, saw the Tiance army counterattacking head-on and flanking left and right, and then looked at the retreating men under his command, and he couldn't help muttering.

In fact, up to now, there are still more than 10,000 people left in the Xichuan Chinese army, but the defeat is like a mountain, and under the multiple blows of the Shenji battalion, these surviving Xichuan soldiers have lost their fighting spirit.

"Block it for me, block the Tiance Army!"

Even if Li Shun cut off the heads of several fleeing soldiers one after another, he still couldn't stop the rout.

Gather the remnants?

Tens of thousands of people fled, why don't you go and collect it? Knowing that you are invincible, why don't you run away at this time and stay and wait for death?

Especially the three thousand brocade guards and cavalry can be described as invincible on the battlefield, and wherever they pass, the Xichuan soldiers are eager to fly away with wings, but this is just a delusion.

If there were no 3,000 cavalry, maybe the Xichuan Army would not be so miserable, no matter how it is said that the Xichuan Army is also an army that has fought a lot of battles, and it will not be possible to retreat in an orderly manner.

However, these 3,000 cavalry were divided into three groups and slaughtered in all directions in the Xichuan army, like three sharp knives piercing into the Xichuan army, attacking left and right, making the formation of the Xichuan army become extremely chaotic. Coupled with the killing of the infantry of the Tiance Army, the Xichuan Army was directly defeated.

As the strongest Xichuan Chinese army, they were killed and fled, which undoubtedly affected the two armies on the left and right, especially the army under Yang Tang. Seeing that the Chinese army was defeated and fled, the morale of the army fluctuated, and some people took the lead and turned around and ran.

Someone takes the lead, someone follows.

Yang Tang's department, which was originally on the offensive, was suddenly defeated, and the Xichuan soldiers in front were fighting fiercely with the Tiance army, and suddenly found that the comrades behind them had run away.

Then the Tiance army on the front suddenly became as excited as if it had been knocked into medicine, which made the Xichuan soldiers in front of them lose without knowing the reason.

The Central Army and the Left Army of the coalition army were routed at the same time, which directly affected Gao Renhou's troops.

Looking at the defeated Xichuan army, Gao Renhou was also inexplicable, and affected by the rout of the Xichuan army, his troops also began to be restless.

"Jie Shuai, what now?"

Zheng Junxiong, who saw this scene, was a little anxious.

Can you not be in a hurry? The Xichuan army is defeated, and with only a few of them, can they turn the sky upside down? Looking at those subordinates who also wanted to escape, it was impossible to turn the tables.

"What should I do?" Gao Renhou's expression was bitter.

I didn't expect God to be on King Shou's side, what else could he do?

This battle affected the situation of the three towns of Shudi, and now that the Dongchuan coalition army has been defeated, he has no possibility of turning the tables, and this Dongchuan has to change his surname.

It's not even just Dongchuan who wants to change his surname, maybe Xichuan also has to change his surname. This time, Dongchuan is exhausted, and Xichuan is not.

The 40,000 Xichuan army, after this battle, how much can they escape back?

After losing 40,000 elites, can Xichuan still hold out under the attack of the Tiance Army?

In Gao Renhou's view, all this is unknown, or rather, all this is delusional.

"Jieshuai, quickly withdraw, go to Hezhou, we still have a chance. If we don't withdraw, we really have no hope. ”

Gao Renhou looked at the army that was about to be defeated, his expression was a little reluctant, he knew that there was no chance to turn the tables with this withdrawal, and King Shou would not give it to him.

As for the imperial court? More unlikely.

If King Shou only occupies Shannan West Road, perhaps the imperial court may still be able to contain King Shou.

But in this battle, at least Dongchuan also had to be under the command of King Shou. Even Xichuan has to change his surname, and King Shou, who holds the three towns, will be the largest feudal town in the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for the imperial court at this time to contain King Shou.

Even have to worry about whether King Shou will enter Chang'an and seize the throne.

However, Gao Renhou still ran, let the horse turn around, and fled to the south first, and hundreds of his own soldiers on horseback immediately followed and gradually broke away from this battlefield. Gao Renhou is gone, and Zheng Junxiong naturally won't stay.

Gao Renhou and Zheng Junxiong fled one after another, and the more than 10,000 Dongchuan troops were leaderless in an instant.

On the battlefield, Liu Qi and Li Hong led the left and right Tiance armies to attack in all directions, spears in the air, horizontal knives flying, and everywhere they passed, it was either the enemy's head or the enemy's begging for mercy.

The Tiance army pursued and killed for more than ten miles until the city of Mianzhou, while the defenders of Mianzhou surrendered with interest.

In this battle, the Dongxichuan coalition army invested 60,000 troops, more than 25,000 people were killed or killed, more than 30,000 people were captured, and less than 5,000 escaped, and even Li Shun died in the war.

In this battle, Li Ye's troops also lost a lot of people, with 13,000 dead and wounded. Among them, there were 12,000 Tiance troops, and the total losses of the Shenji Battalion and Jinyiwei were only 1,000.

After all, the Shenji Battalion and the Jinyi Guard launched a counterattack under the enemy's low morale, and the enemy only cared about escaping, so the losses were not much, but the Tiance Army, which had been in close contact with the enemy, suffered more losses.

Link did not lead the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard to pursue too far, the Tiance Army itself also has cavalry, and the task of the Jinyi Guard is to protect Li Ye, and he must not forget his duty.

However, Li Ye only left a few hundred Jinyi Guard cavalry, and the others were sent out to assist the Tiance Army in clearing the remnants of the enemy army, and the enemy army was defeated, what did he want so many people around him to do?

Escorted by hundreds of brocade guards, stroll through the battlefield filled with gunpowder and blood. There was still a pungent smell of gunpowder in the air, and it was this that allowed him to win the battle, break the morale of the main forces of the coalition army, and then he successfully counterattacked.

Smelling the smell of gunpowder, Li Ye only felt very comfortable.

Compared with his leisure, on the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tiance Army are cleaning the battlefield. Strip the armor of the dead soldiers, gather the scattered weapons, and dig pits to bury the corpses.

Nearly 40,000 souls were born in this war, which means that more than 30,000 families will be plunged into endless mourning.

In this regard, Li Ye has no way to change. This is the cruelty of war, on the battlefield, it is impossible for him to have pity for the enemy, otherwise he will die, this is the essence of war.

"Your Highness."

Liu Qi rode a horse and shouted from afar, came to Li Ye, quickly turned over and dismounted and stood in front of Li Ye.

"The last general, Liu Qi, see His Highness."

Li Ye nodded and said approvingly, "In this battle, General Liu and General Li have made great contributions. Later, this king will resign from the post of general of the Tiance Army, and it is time to give this position to the two of you. ”

Liu Qi was a little surprised, but he also knew what it meant, and immediately said, "This battle is under the command of His Highness, and the last general can only make this contribution by obeying His Highness's command." ”

"What General Liu said is that if His Royal Highness hadn't risked his life to lure the enemy general Li Shun to lead the main force to attack, the Shenji Battalion would not have been able to make this contribution." Long Zhi on the side hurriedly said.

Li Ye couldn't help but smile, "If you say that, this king should also reward himself?" ”

Li Hong was not on the battlefield, and the other side led the army to pursue the remnants of the enemy army and occupy Mianzhou and Lutou Pass.

The Eastern and Western Sichuan coalition forces were defeated, and if they didn't take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, wouldn't it be a great loss?

And under Li Zhen's persuasion, he was very interested in Xichuan. Originally, he didn't expect to take Xichuan now, after all, Dongchuan hasn't been swallowed yet, and if he swallows Xichuan again, he may have to hold on. Moreover, the situation in Guanzhong is tense, and he also wants to end the war here as soon as possible.

It's just that he didn't expect Xichuan to lose so badly. Having lost more than 40,000 troops, whether it was Lutouguan or Hanzhou, they were all empty. Moreover, Chengdu is also weak in defense, as can be seen from Zhao Xiong's 2,000 cavalry across Chengdu Mansion.

It can be said that Li Zhen aroused the greed in Li Ye's heart.

"Your Highness, the bodies of Gao Renhou and Yang Tang were not found, and according to the confession of the captured soldiers, the two fled quickly when the Chinese army was defeated. Instead, he found Li Shun's soldiers, but he didn't know who shot him with an arrow. ”

Soon Li Shun's body was transported to Li Ye with an arrow stuck in his chest and a lot of knife wounds. Li Ye is not familiar with Li Shun, after all, when Li Ye was in Chengdu Mansion, Li Shun was not famous, but after the confirmation of several other Xichuan generals, it was proved that it was indeed Li Shun.

Among the two who escaped, Gao Renhou and Yang Tang, he didn't pay attention to Yang Tang, but was more interested in Gao Renhou.

"Send 2,000 cavalry to the south to pursue Gao Renhou, live to see people, dead to see corpses."

Where can Gao Renhou go? And only to the south. Although Zizhou, the capital of Dongchuan, was occupied, more than half of the entire Dongchuan was not under Li Ye's control, and if Gao Renhou integrated the forces of the remaining states, it would be a trouble for him.

And Gao Renhou is a character, if the other party does not die, he is not at ease.
