Huang Degong looked at Tian Xiong's pale face, his heart hurt like a knife, and he couldn't help but sigh long.

Now that the battle has collapsed, even though I am the main general, what can I do to save the situation.

The current plan is to retreat the whole army, and one can be saved.

Huang Degong deserved to be a veteran of the battlefield, and in the face of such an unfavorable situation, he gritted his teeth and remained silent, trying to control the ups and downs in his heart, and gave the order to retreat in a deep voice.

"Pass on the general's order, immediately ring gold, order the whole army to retreat, we must highlight the Tang army as soon as possible, and retreat to the other side of the Jing River as soon as possible!"

"Order!"

Ming Jin masterpiece, the 3,000 cavalry in Huang Degong's army, immediately went out of the battle, closely guarding Huang Degong, Tian Xiong and others, and a group of people rushed past the top of the Tang army's encirclement, and fled straight south.

At the same time, the enemy soldiers who were fleeing in all directions on the battlefield were all like hearing of the amnesty, and everyone's face was full of desire to live, and they all used their strength to eat, spread their feet and ran backwards as best they could, hoping to keep up with the pace of the commander's escape.

And behind them, the spearmen and cavalry of the Tang Army are still following them, chasing and killing.

Such a one-sided battle to hunt down the remnants of the enemy is simply the happiest thing in the world.

As far as the eye can see, the entire southern part of Huai'an Mansion has become a Shura field for the Tang army to practice killing, countless enemy soldiers were either stabbed to death by spears or hacked to death by sabers, and the entire battlefield was blurred with blood and flesh, screaming again and again.

The two cavalry that were the assault arrows of the Tang Army kept going all the way, like two large and sharp black arrows, and went straight to the cavalry team that was the first to retreat from the Huang Degong Division.

Of course, along the way, for the enemy infantry who fled on both sides, those Tang cavalry with complete armor and sharp knives and guns, of course, would not give them a chance to escape. They were like the Grim Reaper chasing their lives, slashing and slaying down the routs who fled in wailing along the way.

The horses' hooves rumbled, the guns pointed at the knives, and the cavalry of the Tang Army rushed all the way to chase after them, and soon rushed to the back of the 3,000 cavalry of Huang Degong's department, which fled all the way south and was in a very scattered formation.

The arrival of the Tang army so quickly made this group of enemy cavalry suddenly very passive, and they accelerated the speed of retreat while responding to the battle in a hurry.

At this time, seeing that the cavalry of the Tang Army had caught up with his own cavalry, Huang Degong's face was dripping with cold sweat.

Now, if you don't leave some of the soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that all the cavalry will not be able to escape.

"Tian Xiong! The enemy pursued at the end of the ranks, and it was difficult for our army to get rid of. You retreat first, and Ben Shuai will personally break the back! Huang Degong's eyes were cold, he gritted his teeth fiercely and strangled the horse's hooves.

"Nope! No way! Yasukuni Gong, you are the lord of Huaichu and the commander of the first army, and you must not afford to lose! Please evacuate the guards of the headquarters at the rate of the Yasukuni Gong first, and the general will lead the 3,000 cavalry to intercept and kill them after the break, and he will definitely be able to protect the Yasukuni Gong from the danger! Tian Xiong's face was hideous, and he categorically rejected Huang Degong's arrangement.

"Tian Xiong! Why don't you listen to ......"

Before Huang Degong finished speaking, Tian Xiong had already interrupted him sharply: "Everyone, listen to the order!" And with the general intercepting the cavalry of the Tang Army here, we must try our best to ensure the smooth withdrawal of the Duke of Yasukuni! Do you understand! ”

"Order!"

The three thousand cavalry roared in unison, turned their horses' heads one after another, and followed Tian Xiong together, desperately intercepting the large number of cavalry of the Tang army that was surging backwards.

Seeing that Tian Xiong resolutely broke off without saying anything, and led all the cavalry to resist desperately for himself, Huang Degong's heart was very complicated, he had tears in his eyes, his throat surged, but he couldn't say anything more.

He hurriedly glanced at the figure of Tian Xiongbei returning to the north, and without saying much, he snorted and slammed the horse's belly, and with more than a hundred elite cavalry guards, he accelerated and fled from the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, which rushed all the way at high speed, had a semicircular formation as a whole, like a fierce fist, and instantly rushed into the cavalry of Tian Xiong's broken rear who had returned to the battle with a very fierce momentum.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was heavily armored and weighed half a ton, made the arrows of the Tang Army's assault, and their impact was fierce, like a galloping tank, and the 3,000 enemy cavalry that had been scattered and had only turned around in a hurry to meet the battle became more and more scattered.

In particular, a large number of cavalry that were in front of the Tang cavalry were killed by the Tang cavalry who rushed towards them with one blow.

They either screamed and fell off their horses, or were stabbed in the chest by sharp riding spears, and many were stabbed in pairs by the Tang army's riding spears or riding knives, even men and horses, and their deaths were very horrifying.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was already superior in numbers and in a strict formation, immediately gave the cavalry of the Tian Xiong Division, which was more than half of the number less and the formation was scattered, and came with a solid and ferocious blow.

Immediately, the two cavalry teams were immediately strangled together.

The clanging of swords and slashes, the tooth-aching porphyry sound of cutting bones, the dull pop sound of stabbing into the body of a human horse, the screams of dying and the mournful screams of a dying horse, suddenly resounded.

"Brothers, the Duke of Yasukuni can't wait for me, and I must fight to the death to resist the Tang Army!"

Tian Xiong, who was bloodied in the battle, yelled at the cavalry who were already panicked and cheered them up.

It's just that in the face of the strong combat power and fierce assault of the Tang cavalry, Tian Xiong's resistance was almost futile.

In this stalemate battle between the cavalry, it can be clearly seen that the Tang army's formation is constantly squeezing forward and impacting, while Tian Xiong and his subordinates are constantly retreating backwards, and the whole formation is becoming more and more messy.

The two armies fought, slashing with swords and spears, shouting and shouting, and the cavalry fell from their horses screaming, or their mounts were cut to the ground, and they let out a mournful scream.

In this cavalry battle in which the Tang army had obvious advantages, the whole battle situation became clear in an instant as the Tang army's spearmen came quickly.

A Tang Army spearman armed with a 4-meter stainless steel spear ran all the way here, and everyone was already out of breath, but he was still a hundred times more energetic, and his morale was like a rainbow. They shouted and rushed quickly, completely cutting off the rear road of Tian Xiong's cavalry, completely outflanking them from front to back, and leaving this group of enemy cavalry in a desperate situation of being completely surrounded.

A sharp steel spear, like a flying poisonous dragon, roared and stabbed fiercely, and the rogue cavalry, men and horses, were stabbed by the spears one after another, one cavalry after another screamed and fell from their horses, and one after another the war horses neighed and fell to the ground.

The battle was fierce and the fighting continued, and in this sudden battle of encirclement and annihilation, the Tang Army completely gained the upper hand in a very short period of time, and the entire battle had already shown a one-sided trend.

"Brothers, hold on, you must hold on!"

Seeing that the troops of the other side were completely surrounded by the Tang army, and the number of people fighting against them was getting smaller and smaller, Tian Xiong cried out in despair.

At this moment, a sharp riding spear, like a poisonous snake flying from the sky, pierced his throat at once, and the sharp and sharp head of the spear pierced through the back of his neck.

Tian Xiong's scream stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, his mouth snorted, and he subconsciously grasped the cold hilt of the gun, as if trying to pull it out of his throat.

The cavalryman on the opposite side who took his life sneered, shook his right hand, and quickly pulled out the cavalry spear, and the terrible hole in Tian Xiong's throat, blood spurted out wildly.

Like a stake, he rolled silently from his horse, smashing up large patches of viscous bloody mud, and never moved again.

"General Tian!"

"Mr. Tian!"

Seeing that the Lord was about to be killed, the enemy cavalry next to him screamed in mourning, and the entire formation became more and more scattered, almost out of control.

The rogue cavalry, which had been attacked on their backs, resisted with great difficulty for a while, and finally collapsed completely.

A large number of rogue cavalry began to fight to break through at any cost.

It's just that at this point in the battle, there are still people who have the strength to break through, after all, there are only a few, and there are even a lot of rogue cavalry crying loudly, throwing their weapons on the spot, raising their hands and begging for mercy, looking very pitiful.

It's just that in this chaotic battlefield, because the enemy forces everywhere are almost uncontrollable, the Tang army simply does not have the ability and time to collect the prisoners, so the red-eyed Tang cavalry and spearmen are still roaring like beasts, mercilessly trying to kill all the remaining rogue cavalry.

In the end, there were only less than 200 rogue cavalry, but they fought to the death to break out of the encirclement, and they were extremely lucky to save their lives and escape.

And the rest of the more than 2,000 rogue cavalry were all on this battlefield like a Shura slaughterhouse, and they were about to be killed by the Tang army neatly.

At this critical juncture, Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the Tang Army, agreed to their surrender, and the heralds on both sides waved their flags high, and the Tang cavalry, who had killed red eyes, finally stopped the killing on this side.

More than 2,000 cavalry of Huang Degong's troops finally successfully saved their lives, and they rolled their saddles and dismounted, crying and surrendering.

Of course, the return of the Liukou cavalry to the battle this time is not without any value.

After all, when they were fighting desperately, they bought a very precious escape time for a large number of routed soldiers. These routed soldiers took advantage of this rare opportunity to flee for their lives to the Jinghe bridge in the distance, and finally about 1,000 people were able to escape across the bridge in a hurry, and finally got lucky to save their lives.

As soon as the enemy cavalry fell, the battle situation was decided, and in the entire battle array, there were interceptions in front and pursuers, and there were more than 20,000 enemy infantry scurrying like a swarm of bees. They also abandoned their weapons and armor, and cried loudly and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

They also got the right to surrender, and one by one they were smoothly tied up by a large number of Tang Army auxiliaries, like a bundle of grasshoppers, tied into a long line after a long line.

At this point in the battle, the Tang army had won a complete victory, in order to avoid extraneous branches, they just chased to the north bank of the Jing River, and then they stopped one after another, did not continue the pursuit, and then retreated back and began to clean up the battlefield.

When the sun was getting west, all the troops were taken in, and the thunderous cheers resounded through the field, like rolling spring thunder, sweeping the land.

Huang Degong, who hurriedly escaped on the south bank of the Jing River, and fled all the way to the south outside Baoying County, only to stop his horse's hooves, turned his head to see the remnants of the cavalry and infantry that came in a hurry behind him, and the sadness and helplessness on his face were indescribable.

Alas, he was too rash to expect that Huai'an Mansion had surrendered to the Tang army, but instead tricked himself into continuing the attack, and missed a good time to escape in vain.

What's even more regrettable is that it wasn't until those Liu Liangzuo's cavalry and the Tang cavalry killed themselves together that they understood such a sinister trick of the Tang army, but at that time, they were already powerless......

Now that I think about it, I regret it!

Huang Degong punched his thigh fiercely, and the remorse and grief on his face were indescribable.

At this time, there were again cavalry fleeing back, chasing after them with a sad face.

"Duke Jingguo, the momentum of the Tang army is extremely fierce, our army is defeated and returned, General Tian, he, he died in battle......" The cavalryman who fled back wept and reported to him silently.

Huang Degong let out a long sigh and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to say any more.

He silently looked north for a long time, tears flashed in his blood-red eyes, and without saying a word, he led hundreds of cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry who were lucky enough to escape back, all the way to the south, straight to Yangzhou City.

Along the way, Huang Degong's face was blue, and his heart was like a knife.

What a miserable failure, what a shame!

More than 30,000 troops, the whole army was wiped out, only more than 1,500 people fled back, and a close general was also folded, such a defeat can be said to be the most tragic defeat since Huang Degong led the army independently.

Huang Degong didn't have time to taste more bitterness and sorrow, so he quickly thought of a more important and urgent question.

That is, now that the elite is gone, there are only more than 11,000 guards in Yangzhou City, the heart of the entire Yangzhou Mansion, in this way, how can the soldiers and generals resist the further attack of the wolf-like Tang army.

Then, the Tang army went all the way south from Huai'an, and it was possible to attack directly under the city of Yangzhou.

And once they came to the city, the Tang army, which had coerced Liu Liangzuo's troops and had nearly 100,000 troops, was elite and strong, and there were extremely powerful artillery sieges on the city, how could they hold this huge Yangzhou city with only more than 10,000 morale-sluggish soldiers!

What should I do now?

Extremely painful in his heart, he pondered for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision.

That is, in order to keep Yangzhou City, the only thing I can do now is to lose the car and protect the handsome.

He, who had been thinking silently right away, took a long breath and ordered the guards next to him: "Go to Chuzhou quickly to pass the order, so that the Chuzhou guard Ma will be meritorious, and immediately lead the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou to aid Yangzhou as soon as possible." ”

"Jingguo Gong, in this case, there will be no soldiers and horses left in Chuzhou City, so can't it only be handed over to the Tang army......"

"Do you think Ben Shuai is willing to do this?" Huang Degong looked helpless, he gritted his teeth and replied: "This is to lose the car to protect the handsome, and there is no choice but to do it." The city of Chuzhou, the terrain is narrow, the city is low, if the Tang army waves its division to attack, even if there are 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the city, I am afraid that it is difficult to defend for a long time. It is better for the strong man to break his wrist, take the initiative to abandon Chuzhou, and concentrate his troops to defend Yangzhou City. As long as Yangzhou can be defended, it will protect the foundation of our army. In the future, after the veterans of the Tang Army Division retreated tiredly, our army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the prefectures and counties of Yangchu and Chuzhou, including Chuzhou City. If you don't say much, go and give the order quickly. ”

"Well......, you have to order!"
