Chapter 276: Fleeing in a panic
The soldiers and horses of the north and south, according to the earlier plan, began to converge in the middle. In Zhang Ping's camp, there was fire everywhere at this time, and many of the military camps lined up in the river valley were already burning. The entire battlefield was very chaotic, and both sides were already in a mess.
Zhang Ping's side couldn't hold on, and under the joint attack of Lu Guang and Liao Chuan, it was like a powerful fist, directly hitting Zhang Ping's body. Zhang Ping originally wanted to strictly supervise the battle and concentrate his forces to beat Liao Chuan and them back.
But when the soldiers in front couldn't resist it, not many people listened to his orders. Everyone was busy running for their lives and rushed south. And Zhang Ping and these people were coerced by this defeated army, and they also retreated south involuntarily.
"My lord, let's retreat to the south first, and after joining up with the army, we will counterattack!" The strategist beside him said to Zhang Ping as he ran.
"That's all there is to it! Quickly send someone to give an order, so that the front army and the Chinese army must block the Huashan army, and they must not mess with themselves! Zhang Ping was also helpless, so he had to obey.
In the narrow valley, in the large camp that stretched for miles, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and running figures could be seen everywhere. Under the darkness of the night, Li Xin and Li Erhei fought side by side, killing all the way along the turbid water.
But none of the enemy troops in front of them could survive, and such a fierce scene suddenly made some enemy soldiers look like they are dead.
In addition, in the past few days, in the siege battle, most people have already seen Li Erhei's power. Therefore, no one dared to come up directly to stop them.
As a result, it was much easier for the army to advance than expected. As for Zhang Ping's generals, they were anxious, because they couldn't find a better way to block the attack of the Huashan army.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to the Chinese army camp, quickly retreat! "The general of the former army had no choice, and after fighting for a while, he found that he was now powerless to control the situation. I had to find a way to retreat first, and after preparing to gather the soldiers and horses, I would come to fight with the Huashan army.
The soldiers, who were already unable to resist, became even more confused after hearing this order. Everyone retreated to the north one after another, and even those soldiers who were fighting didn't say a word at this time, and directly abandoned their opponents and fled north.
Under such a stupid move, Li Xin and the others will certainly not miss the opportunity. Immediately, he led the army to chase after him, chasing and killing all the way, almost stepping on the heels of the other party to kill Zhang Ping's Chinese army camp.
At this time, the large camp of the Chinese army was crowded with soldiers who had retreated from both sides. Zhang Ping was also among them, and finally joined up with these generals of his own.
"Quickly line up and stop the enemy first. Otherwise, if this chaos continues, we will all die here today! Zhang Ping only saw that there was a crowd of people around him, and he didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were, so he had to order the generals beside him.
The generals also knew that this was the moment of life and death, so they did not dare to have the slightest laziness, and hurriedly divided up to urge the soldiers to line up to defend against the enemy. If people are crowded together, it seems to be a lot more crowded, but it is more convenient to convey orders.
Under the loud shouts and scolding of the generals, the soldiers finally succeeded in arranging and formed two loose defense lines, one south and one north. At this time, Liao Chuan and Lu Guang in the north, Li Xin and Li Erhei in the south, they have all been killed in the north and the south.
"Kill!" Although he saw that the enemy troops were already arrayed, Li Xin didn't even stop at all, and directly waved his sword and shouted, and rushed over first.
"Kill!" All the armies responded together, and the entire river valley was only filled with this one killing word at this moment. After a while, the same shouting of killing came from the north, echoing with Li Xin's side.
If it were daytime and someone happened to be standing on the top of the hill on either side of the valley, they would see two black patches in the valley below, approaching the middle. It was as if a cloud of ink had entered the water, and soon the entire valley was black.
The soldiers of the Huashan Army were extremely brave, and in a short time they tore apart the enemy's formation, and then killed the enemy.
Although he didn't know the exact number, Li Xin felt that the number of enemy troops should be much larger than his own. Because after rushing into the enemy army, most of the people around you are enemy soldiers.
However, he fearlessly charged forward, and he didn't care about other places, he just concentrated on killing in front of him, preparing to join Liao Chuan and others in the north first. As long as the enemy's army formation is cut through, it will have the effect of dividing and encircling at that time, and the opponent's large number of men and horses will have no numerical advantage.
On the battlefield at this time, everyone was scuffled together, no one still cared about the queue formation, and everyone had only one thought left, that is, to live. On such a battlefield, the military uniforms and emblems on each person's body have become the only identification.
Whether it was the enemy or the soldiers of the Huashan Army, the weapons in their hands were constantly waving, splashing countless blood, soaking the soil on the ground and dyeing the river water next to it red. In the valley, only a cacophony remains.
Zhang Ping stood in the original tent of the Chinese army, wearing armor, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he had to fight in person. Under the circumstances, he had no better way but to let the situation on the battlefield completely out of his control.
On the other side, Li Xin finally met with Liao Chuan.
"How? Did you see that guy Zhang Ping? After meeting, Li Xin asked them while killing the enemy.
"I saw him supervising the battle when we started fighting before, but I don't see him now. However, if I'm not mistaken, I should be in this army! Lu Guang replied.
"Call me out, just say that the enemy army is defeated and capture Zhang Ping alive!" After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin said to the two.
On the battlefield at this time, the enemy army still has the power to resist, and many people are under the leadership of their respective generals, and they are divided into large and small teams to fight against the Huashan army. In this case, not only do you have to fight hard, but you also have to attack your heart.
It is precisely because they have been divided and surrounded, so at this time, the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals! As long as it is said that the enemy army is defeated, they themselves don't know whether it is true or false, and if Zhang Ping is captured alive, it is strange that the enemy does not mess up!
After hearing his words, Liao Chuan and Lu Guang couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly asked the soldiers beside them to spread the word.
Soon, shouts began to sound on the battlefield, and, more and more, more and more unified, the sound became louder and louder.
"The enemy army was defeated, and Zhang Ping was captured alive! The enemy army was defeated and Zhang Ping was captured alive! Wave after wave, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, and it quickly suppressed all the other voices on the battlefield.
After hearing this voice, everyone on the battlefield was immediately affected differently.
For those Zhang Ping's soldiers, when they heard that their side was defeated and even Zhang Ping was going to be captured alive, didn't this mean that there was no hope at all! As a result, many people who were resisting with all their might became panicked at this time, and their fighting spirit quickly collapsed.
For the soldiers of the Huashan Army, it was a different feeling, everyone only thought that at this time the battle on their side had the upper hand, and it was about to end. As a result, everyone became more and more excited, and the knife in their hands swung faster.
In contrast, the situation was not favorable to Zhang Ping's side, but now it has completely fallen to Li Xin's side. I have to say that this timing is too good. Moreover, he also borrowed the light of God, and under the cover of this night, except for the initiator Li Xin and a few others, everyone did not know whether the matter was true or false.
Zhang Ping, who was killing the enemy next to the Chinese military tent, also heard this at this time and couldn't help but be startled.
"Envoy, something is wrong! It seems that the Huashan Army must be looking for you! Don't make a noise, they must be trying to find out where you are and kill you! The strategists beside him were also anxious, if Zhang Ping was captured alive, they would be doomed.
"What is the matter at this point? Once the army is defeated, will we not be slaughtered by others? When Zhang Ping heard this, he suddenly panicked even more.
He suddenly regretted a little at the moment, he shouldn't have sent Zhang Hao out in the first place. Otherwise, with such a brave general by his side, who would be afraid of this danger.
"My lord, you should first change into ordinary military uniforms, and then we will protect you and slowly fight your way out of the encirclement. Just under the cover of this night, we may be able to escape back to Yangyi County! As long as you return to Taiyuan, no matter how powerful the Huashan Army is, it will be impossible to fight there! The terrain here is too unfavorable for us, and we can't play any soldiers and horses! One of the advisors immediately suggested.
"Okay, just do as you say!" For this suggestion, Zhang Ping pondered for a while, and found that there was really no better way, so he had to agree.
To be honest, he didn't want to leave his army behind. But let him risk his own capture alive and stay in this place with the soldiers, then he would not want to.
Thinking that the green mountains are here, I am not afraid of no firewood, as long as I return to my old nest Jinyang, I can take revenge at that time, and my heart will be much more stable.
The surrounding strategists hurriedly asked one of his personal soldiers to take off his military uniform, and then quickly changed it to Zhang Ping. Under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, everyone went all the way to the north to kill, along the way, trying not to stop, just to escape.
As long as you pass the camp, you can return to the way you came. In that case, as long as the Huashan Army rushes back to Yangyi County before it is discovered, you can sit back and relax.
At this time, there was still a sound of capturing Zhang Ping alive on the battlefield, but no one noticed that Zhang Ping had taken advantage of the chaos and quietly escaped along the foot of the mountain.
