Chapter 519: Large Turtle
In the wide valley on the west side, officers and troops came up with temporary reinforcements on foot cavalry. The sound of strings and shouts between the mountains was mixed together, and the smoke and dust filled the air, and there was a hustle and bustle.
The Han Dynasty's army Qu Neng's infantry army advanced in multiple columns; The officers and soldiers also arrived in a hurry. Both armies did not have time to deploy their formations, and immediately there was an encounter, and the scene was very chaotic!
However, the Qu Neng Department had an army of 70,000 troops, and they were marching to the east one after another, and the goal was very clear and simple; So more and more people came like a flood. After the flood front battle was scattered, the men and horses behind continued to pour up, endlessly!
The official reinforcements were quickly routed.
Countless columns of Qu Neng's army poured out of the valley, and in front of them was a large open field, with a radius of five or six miles. In the distance, there are one or two villages, as well as small hills, bays, rice fields, open fields, etc., and the terrain is much flatter than in the west.
Under the shouts of the generals, the troops reorganized their troops and horses a little, and then continued to advance to the east one after another. At this time, some cavalry of the Heian Army also arrived, and they were coming from the western breakthrough one after another.
The first line of defense of the official army completely collapsed at this time, and the entire army on the southern front had obviously fallen into a situation of being outflanked and attacked!
First, the horse teams of the officers and soldiers rushed over and ran wildly to the north to evacuate. The cavalry that arrived in the Heian Army, together with the Qu Neng forward cavalry, blocked the official cavalry in all directions.
The open space covered this place stretched for five or six miles, and the time for Qu Neng's army to outflank it was too short to completely form a defensive line. The cavalry ran very fast, and some of the officers and cavalry fled northward from all directions despite being pursued.
However, the officers and infantry units of the southern defense line could not have been so easy. When they were attacked by the front army of Sheng Yong's army due south, they suddenly found that their cavalry was fleeing, surrounded by heavy troops of the Han army, and the officers and troops quickly lost the last trace of resistance from top to bottom.
The teams of the officers and infantry over there tried to break away from the north one after another, and the defensive camp quickly collapsed!
The southern defensive line was nearly ten miles wide, and the distance was too far, and it was suddenly hastily evacuated, intending to escape, and soon chaos became chaotic. At this moment, there are no generals or immortals who can control the officers and troops here!
Between the mountains and forests, on the banks of ponds, and in the crop fields, there were officers and soldiers everywhere. The Ping'an Army and the Qu Neng Army moved troops to the south, and many officers and infantry were formed and surrendered in the face of encirclement; Some of the routs were being chased by the cavalry, crying for their fathers and mothers, and many of them desperately hid in the mountains and forests.
The officers and troops are simply miserable and are rapidly coming to an end.
Chaos and turmoil are not confined to the southern front; The main rearguard of the official army in the north was also quickly caught up by the cavalry of the Han army.
The cavalry of the Han army rushed to the enemy troops on the roads everywhere. The enemy soldiers who were pulling the artillery vehicles immediately dropped their vehicles and turned around and ran; Seeing that they couldn't run away, some people pulled out their waist knives and tried to resist, but the cavalry of the Han Dynasty rushed by, stabbing one person to death with one shot!
The infantry teams of the officers and the countless formations had no choice but to stop advancing on the spot and line up to resist the cavalry of the Han army; They were unable to form large phalanxes in time, so they had to allow the cavalry to intersperse and divide between the teams.
Only the infantry brigade of the officer army, in the face of a large number of cavalry threats, they can only form a dense formation; Otherwise, it is easy to be thrown out of chaos by one or two shocks from the cavalry. The dense phalanx could barely move, and if the generals were properly arranged, they could only move slowly. Many officers and brigades are being pinned down in place.
At this time, the sound of killing was deafening on the land that stretched for miles and miles.
A group of Han Wang's light cavalry swept through the enemy's army columns, and the cavalry shot "crackled". The enemy army may have consisted of two hundred-hundreds, and they arranged spears and shields on all sides, but perhaps because of the confusion, there were also some bowmen and crossbowmen and knives and shields in between; The archers in the back row returned fire with a projectile.
In the midst of the shouting and neighing, there were arrows on both sides. After a while, the light cavalry of the Han army left the enemy formation seventy or eighty paces, and the cavalry dismounted one after another, stood on the ground and shot at the enemy formation with bows and arrows. The spearmen and shieldmen in front of the enemy crouched down, and the bows and crossbows in the back row stood there firing at each other.
At this moment, the footsteps in the southwest became louder and louder, and countless infantry of the Han King Army advanced towards this side! On the road, the officers and soldiers were dragged to the march, and the officers and men all looked to the southwest with hopeless expressions on their faces. At this time, the officers and generals had nothing to do.
To the south, there is also a divided and surrounded infantry formation, on both sides of which are the infantry columns of the Han Dynasty's army outflanked by the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty's infantry in front of them is forming an attacking phalanx!
A member of the general of the army suddenly shouted: "King Han is wise and powerful, please spare your life, we have surrendered!" ”
The army was in an uproar! But there were already many soldiers in front of them, and they threw their weapons straight ahead. Then more and more people abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and everyone quickly gave up their senseless resistance.
…… On the chaotic battlefield, a large banner with "Sheng" written on it fluttered in the air. Sheng Yong took the Chinese army escort and rushed to the front line on horseback.
It's a mess on all sides. In the line of sight, there were dejected officers and soldiers who surrendered, there were chaotic soldiers who fled on the hills, and some officers and soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting. Gunsmoke and dust flew in the air, and the whole land seemed to explode.
The situation here is undoubtedly one-sided, and the Han army here has won a complete victory! The cheers of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty army from many directions came one after another.
But Sheng Yong didn't have a trace of smugness on his face, let alone a smile, his expression was cold and abnormal.
He patted his horse and climbed a hill. Standing on a high ground and watching for a while, he saw a chaotic procession in the distance to the north, retreating backwards...... Those centaurs were undoubtedly Qu Neng's foot riders, with a faint white filial piety cloth on their heads; And only when the Han army was unfavorable in battle, would it retreat south.
Sheng Yong couldn't see the situation farther to the north here, and he guessed that in the far north side, the officers and troops might have formed another line of defense.
However, Sheng Yong's expression was not sad, he had always been very calm. The broad forehead, the goose-egg-shaped face, the flesh on the face was full, and the skin was yellow but very light; Sheng Yong's face is not easy to worry about.
At this time, the various units of the Han Wang's army that were victorious on the battlefield were also very chaotic, and it would take a lot of time to regather and deploy these horses and horses and form combat effectiveness; However, there were still more than 100,000 troops behind Sheng Yong who did not participate in the battle, and there were many soldiers and horses in the rear of Qu Neng's department who did not catch up with the battle.
Therefore, Sheng Yong still has an absolute advantage in his hands "Quanyong Team" (reserve team), which completely occupies the upper hand and the initiative! And so far in this battle, the officers and soldiers have been captured, fled, killed and wounded, I am afraid that there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 people. It doesn't seem bad to achieve such results in less than half a day.
Sheng Yong looked back at the terrain on all sides, and when he turned his head to look to the right, his gaze stayed on the east for a long time.
At this moment, Sheng Yong glanced back and found Qu Neng's banner; Sure enough, when the horse team gradually approached, Qu Neng's figure could be seen.
Qu Neng and the others rode up the small hill here. Sheng Yong saw that Qu Neng turned over and dismounted, so he also dismounted, and the two of them hugged each other and greeted each other with a military salute.
"I have sent a cavalry squad to the mountains to the east to explore the way." Qu Neng said directly.
After hearing this, Sheng Yong immediately turned his head to look at each other, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and Sheng Yong nodded in response. Just now, he was also pondering the situation in the east, but he didn't expect the hero to see the same thing, and Qu Neng also noticed it!
At this time, the terrain that continued to the north was a bit unfavorable for the attack.
On the left side are large mountain ranges, the nearest of which seems to be called Fulong Mountain; The mountains over there are steep and overgrown with vegetation, and it looks like there should be a valley or two and a mountain road, but it must be rugged and narrow. It seems that it will be difficult for the army to attack from the mountains to the flank of the officers and soldiers.
There is a big gap in the middle front, but it is only three miles wide, and there are rice fields, ponds, mountains and forests, and village houses in the middle; Therefore, the officers and troops did not need much force to form a defensive line, and their heavy defensive line was there.
Only the mountains in the east seem to be undulating, and the terrain is vast and complex. If the Han Wangjun outflanked from the east, there might be a chance!
At this time, Qu Neng's voice said: "I estimate that Zhang Fu probably has 700 brigades (100 households) and 70,000 foot riders. Usually on the battlefield, the more troops you have, the longer you can resist; Defensive deployment, do not pay attention to the detour of the large formation, only pay attention to the depth and complete formation. He Zhang Fu 70,000 people as turtles, can deploy at least five deep defense lines!
Zhang Furuo followed such a terrain, only intended to defend, not to attack; Let's attack from the front, and if we want to completely defeat Zhang Fu, it will not take a few days. ”
Sheng Yong nodded: "What Qu Dudu said is extremely true. ”
Qu Neng said again: "Zhang Fu has so many men and horses to defend, will there be a shortage of troops for a while and a half." The further we go, the more difficult it is to break through; Time was running out, and Zhang Fu would build fortifications on the defensive line behind. ”
After a while, the team of Ping'an and others on horseback also rushed towards the banner here.
When those people rushed up the hill, Sheng Yong and the others saluted Ping An with their fists. At this time, Sheng Yong specially hugged his fist to Wang Bin and beckoned: "General Wang." ”
Wang Bin looked surprised, he seemed to be a little flattered, and hurriedly saluted: "The last general will meet the grand handsome!" ”
Sheng Yong looked at Wang Bin with great appreciation, nodded his head slightly, and seemed to make Wang Bin like a spring breeze. The generals on this hill gathered, and only Sheng Yong paid special attention to a general, looking like he valued respect.
Because Sheng Yong is such a person. When Li Jinglong was in power, he was also very attentive to Li Jinglong. Although Wang Bin has become the general manager at present, what is the situation of Wang Bin...... Sheng Yong knows in his heart that he will never offend this person.
With a smile on his face, but it was a sneer, he glanced at Sheng Yong and said, "Sheng Dashuai, you have to quickly call the elite infantry behind you to go up, otherwise the longer you delay, the more you will not be able to hit the front!" ”
Sheng Yong said calmly: "I have already ordered it. ”
