Chapter 430: Huan Wen's Defeat

Huan Wen's idea, after thinking about it, seems to have some truth. However, there are some gambling elements that are relatively large, that is, it is said that the leading general of the other side has to be careless to the enemy. Otherwise, if a more experienced and experienced general comes, Huan Wen's idea is undoubtedly very wrong.

Xi Chao originally wanted to persuade him again, but Huan Wen directly waved his hand to interrupt him. After being delayed here in Luoyang for so long, Huan Wen was already a little impatient. After all, the longer the war dragged on, the more it would be difficult for him to lose face.

For a person who has the heart to go further, prestige can only rise and not fall.

After making a decision, Huan Wen ordered the whole army to launch a counteroffensive and kill the Yan troops on the north side of the mountain.

At the beginning of the war, it went very well. Under the fierce counterattack of the Jin army, those Yan troops who came from afar seemed to be a little unable to support it, and they were originally soldiers and horses that were constantly attacking like a tide, but at this time, they continued to retreat to the rear like a low tide.

"Good! The army will kill at once, and this enemy army will be wiped out! Seeing this, Huan Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered.

Seeing this, Xi Chao on the side faintly flashed a bad feeling in his heart. Hurriedly said to Huan Wen: "Wait a minute, the enemy army is menacing, it is the time when the morale is strong~ prosperous, why is the defeat so fast?" I'm afraid that there is fraud in this, please think twice about it! ”

"I have thought a lot about it, the terrain to the north is open, and it is close to the bank of the great river, what can I deceive at a glance? Besides, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on our side, even if the other party has some conspiracy, it will not succeed, so let's take the opportunity to kill him without leaving a piece of armor! Huan Wen listened, but said without caring at all.

When the words fell, Huan Wen himself also rushed forward, and it didn't take long for him to reach the south of the original tomb. Seeing this, Xi Chao and the others had no choice but to follow.

The imperial mausoleum in ancient times was tall and magnificent, because the mountain was a mausoleum, and the sealed soil was especially tall. Such a place is undoubtedly like a mountain.

After a long time, the trees on it have grown, and it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that this is a mausoleum.

Yuanling is such a scene, after all, hundreds of years have passed since the time of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and this mountain has long become a forest. In such a place, the person who leads the army must be careful.

But Huan Wen obviously didn't notice this, and when he saw that the enemy was defeated, he ordered the army to pursue him, and gradually he came to the bottom of this tomb. When the enemy arrived, they quickly rushed into the woods on the original mausoleum.

"General, don't chase after the poor! The situation here is unknown, let's gather the troops and horses first, and after being on strict alert, let's take other actions! Xi Chao followed behind, and when he saw the lush greenery on the original mausoleum, he suddenly became even more worried in his heart, and hurriedly urged the horse to run a few steps, and said to Huan Wen.

"That's right! General, the terrain here is not in our favor. If the enemy has any ambush in the mountains and forests, if we easily enter it, I am afraid that we have fallen into the enemy's tricks! The other staff members next to him also suggested at this time.

"Well, you have a point. Anyway, the herald ordered the army to divide into three routes, except for leaving one way to guard here, the other two roads of soldiers and horses immediately bypassed from both sides, and the defeated troops of the Yan army were definitely intercepted! Everyone spoke together, and finally made Huan Wen have some scruples, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to go up the mountain, but to go around directly.

Although this is not the same as Xi Chao's thoughts, at least it is not directly involved in danger, so he doesn't say anything more.

"Woohoo!" Just as Huan Wen was about to divide his troops, he suddenly only heard a sharp sound in the mountains and forests in front of him. Then I saw sharp arrows flying out of the woods.

Not only that, but what frightened the Jin soldiers the most was the sudden emergence of many Yan cavalry from this mountain forest. The sound of the hooves of these cavalrymen gradually converged, like a sledgehammer, constantly beating on the hearts of the Jin soldiers.

"Not good, the enemy has an ambush! General, please immediately order a formation on the spot in order to resist the enemy, and regret it too late! Seeing this, Xi Chao hurriedly reminded Huan Wen.

Huan Wen heard this, and hurriedly ordered all the troops to gather and prepare to resist in formation.

However, the order he had just given to divide the troops had already been carried out by some people, and when the pursuit was made, the army was already very loose. Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the enemy cavalry suddenly rushed down, and it was able to block it.

The originally good situation suddenly reversed, and Huan Wen's face immediately became gloomy. After all, Xi Chao had repeatedly reminded himself before that he should not take risks easily, if he listened, why not!

It's a pity that it was really too late to regret it at this time, and he had to keep ordering the army to gather and prepare to resist the impact of the Yan army.

"General, it's not good, from the east and west sides of the original tomb, there are also large groups of enemy horsemen who are coming towards us to kill us!" The bad news came one after another, and when Huan Wen heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink a little.

"Jingyu, you immediately lead a part of your men and horses back to the place where they fought before, and take precautions there. This general will lead the army to slowly retreat towards that side, you must be ready to respond! Huan Wen's mind changed sharply, and he immediately said to Xi Chao.

Under this circumstance, if the cavalry of the opposing brigade is killed and directly ordered to retreat, it is undoubtedly sending people to death. Under the continuous resistance, although there will be many casualties, relatively speaking, there is still a great chance to return to the division.

"The subordinate obeys the order, and immediately go and get ready!" Xi Chao also knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he immediately agreed without saying a word.

Soon, he gathered two thousand men and returned in the direction from which he had come. However, his actions soon affected the other soldiers and horses.

After all, at this time, it was the time when the Jin army was in a panic, and the other soldiers were originally six gods and no masters, and suddenly saw a group of soldiers and horses running backwards, so they naturally thought that someone had fled first. In this way, the rest of the people will naturally follow suit!

Although Huan Wen tried his best to order the generals to gather the army, it was difficult to stop this trend under the general trend. Eventually, the whole army was in disarray, some running backwards, others running in other directions.

More were killed by the Yan cavalry who were constantly charging back and forth! Seeing this, Huan Wen had no better way, and knowing that the general situation was gone, he had to order the whole army to retreat. As for whether or not they can outrun the enemy's cavalry, then they can only ask for more blessings.

On top of the original mausoleum, Mu Yugen and some generals sat on their horses, quietly watching the battle situation below.

"The general was really clever, and Huan Wen really led the army to chase it out. In today's battle, the opponent was defeated and returned, and the siege of Luoyang can be solved! Seeing that the situation was almost one-sided, the general next to him couldn't help complimenting.

"It is said that Huan Wen is very powerful in using soldiers, but today it is just like that! A small trick will lead him to a scheme, if Jiang Zuo relies on this person, sooner or later he will be taken by our Dayan! Mu Yugen was quite proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just said.

"Of course, Your Majesty is wise, and with the assistance of a good general like a general, Dayan will rule the world sooner or later!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Pass the order, the whole army will fight back, and pursue Huan Wen!" After looking at it for a while, Mu Yugen ordered.

Soon, those Yan troops who had run into the mountains and forests in a panic before ran down from the mountains and forests again. However, this time they were fighting with high spirits, which was completely different from the previous appearance of defeat.

The Yan army was already more numerous than Huan Wen's soldiers and horses, and with the help of cavalry at this time, after this official counterattack, it was the turn of the Jin army to collapse.

The soldiers below saw that Huan Wen and other generals had already run first, and at this time, where was the determination to continue fighting, they ran in the direction in which they came.

The soldiers of the Yan army kept chasing behind, especially the cavalry, and wherever they passed, the defeated Jin soldiers and soldiers fell one after another. In the blink of an eye, the Huan Wen army was already defeated like a mountain, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, rushing towards the direction from which it came.

Xi Chao just led the people to walk away for a while, and he didn't have time to make any preparations. Those people under Huan Wen were all on horseback, and the speed was much faster, so when Xi Chao and the others had just returned to the place where the defense line had been set up before, Huan Wen also arrived!

"Jingyu, there is no need to delay here, tens of thousands of enemy troops have already been killed, and it is no longer possible to resist here, withdraw immediately!" After Huan Wen and Xi Chao converged, he immediately ordered.

As soon as the withdrawal order was given, the armies retreated, and the defeat could no longer be stopped. Behind the Yan cavalry, the cavalry continued to harvest their lives, and the foot soldiers kept catching up, and the Jin soldiers only hated their father and mother for giving birth to two legs.

Slowly, they had already crossed the line of Bishan and gradually approached Luoyang City.

"General, there are still 10,000 of our troops under Luoyang City. It's better to retreat to Luoyang City, gather troops and horses everywhere, and fight to the death with the enemy! On the way to retreat, Xi Chao suggested to Huan Wen.

At this time, around Luoyang City, counting the Huan Yun soldiers and horses who arrived first, Huan Wen still had about 30,000 people in his hands. Counting the soldiers and horses assigned to the surrounding counties to guard before, there are about 10,000 people in total, so at least 40,000 horses can be gathered.

If properly deployed, this would be a formidable force, and it should not be a problem to fend off enemy attacks.

However, there is a problem with this, the soldiers and horses are now too scattered, and in the current situation, there is no time to bring them together.
