Chapter 537: Who Dominates the Ups and Downs (10)
Zhu Gaoxu rode up a hill and suddenly felt that the noise of the huge roar on the battlefield was even louder.
On his left back, there was still an arrow feather stuck in the chain mail, and the pain of the wound seemed to spread to the entire left half of his body, and his left arm no longer dared to exert force. Because there are two layers of heavy armor on the chest, cold forging armor and chain mail, two arrows with broken tail wings are inserted there...... One branch was stuck in the armor and failed to shoot through the heavy armor, and the other branch had just wounded the flesh.
Zhu Gaoxu felt that the most serious injury should be the wound on the chest that pierced two layers of armor, although it did not seem to be deep, but the lead bullet was very dirty and he was afraid of infection. His bosom was full of blood, but not his blood, but the blood of the officers and soldiers who had been slain; The two flesh wounds on his chest didn't bleed much, and even his armor didn't penetrate it.
Standing on the hillside, Zhu Gaoxu carefully observed for a while. From the chaotic situation, he could clearly see that a group of officers and soldiers in the vicinity had been surrounded by the Han Wang's army in all directions! The right wing army of the king of Han, the army of Sheng Yong, the army of Qu Neng, and the army of Ping'an horses slowly closed in the middle from several directions.
This large array of officers and troops, guessed from the position, should be the central army of the official army. The scale of the enemy's large array here is much smaller than that of Xue Lujun and Tan Zhong's army before, and it is estimated that it is less than half of the number of Xue Lu's army.
Zhu Gaoxu looked around for a while, then turned his head to see that the Han cannons were placed on donkey carts and were being transported westward on a major road. However, the Han Wang cannon can't hit the iron ball now, and when the army attacked the official army Tan Zhongbu, all the iron bullets were finished; The Hanwang cannon that is now transferred to the front should be equipped with scattered shots at close range.
There were so many people on the undulating land that it looked very chaotic. Zhu Gaoxu continued to watch for a while, and he suddenly found that in the depths of the hazy smoke, the enemy troops in the distance seemed to be moving north?
Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and continued to observe carefully, and indeed found that some figures in the distance to the west were moving slowly to the north.
Before and after the war, the banners of various generals of the official army were observed by scouts one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu already knew the general deployment of the official army; He pondered for a moment and judged that the men and horses moving north in the distance should belong to the army of the enemy general Chen Mao.
"The enemy has given up the battle, Zhang Fu is going to run!" Zhu Gaoxu said suddenly.
The generals also hurriedly followed his direction and watched with their necks drawn.
After a while, a horse galloped from the north. The cavalry rushed straight up the hill, and the soldiers around Zhu Gaoxu immediately blocked the front. The person who came turned over and dismounted and hugged a piece of paper and said: "General Ping reported that Chen Mao's rear army and Quan Yong (reserve army) are retreating north, and the enemy army is about to run away!" ”
The generals said one after another: "The prince is clever ...... it"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak, lowered his head and muttered something in a low voice, occasionally looking up and looking at his eyes. His demeanor seemed to be mentally arithmetic.
After a while, another cavalry came to report: "General Qu reports that the enemy Liu Shengbu has retreated!" ”
The surrounding generals and civil officials cheered when they heard this, and at this time, the Han Wangjun had obviously completely won the victory in this battle!
Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said: "There is no pursuit to expand the results of the battle, and the role of this big war is still unknown. ”
Only then did everyone become quieter.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Hou Haidao and said: "Send someone to order Wang Bin (the right wing army of the Han King), Ping'an, and Sheng Yong to stop the siege of the enemy's Chinese army and prepare to pursue in the northeast direction." Summoned Zhao Ping, obey Qu Neng's moderation; Summoned Qu Neng to prepare to attack the remaining Chen Mao troops and Chinese soldiers and horses of the enemy. ”
Hou Haizuo said: "The next official will do it immediately." ”
The people around him all showed admiration, because Zhu Gaoxu's response to adjusting the deployment was very fast, and he quickly made specific arrangements.
"Drive!" Zhu Gaoxu rushed down the hillside and went in the direction of Sheng Yong's army to the south. After a while, the hillside was noisy with horses' hooves, and a group of people followed.
Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and galloped towards Sheng Yong's banner from the open space between the phalanxes. It didn't take long for Sheng Yong to greet him and give a military salute with his fists in his fists.
"Woohoo......" Zhu Gaoxu shouted, and the war horse jogged forward for a while, stopping in front of Sheng Yong.
"General Sheng, those who are close to the enemy army in front of you, send a military general to take command and hand them over to Qu Neng. You immediately lead the army and march to the northeast, following the right wing army Wang Bin's troops. Zhu Gaoxu didn't have any greetings, and said straight to the point.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: "The front of the enemy Chen Mao's army has already engaged Qu Neng's army; The men and horses behind them and the Quan Yong team did not dare to run too fast, otherwise it would cause panic and cause the front line to collapse! General Sheng and Wang Bin together must surround Chen Mao's people first, don't let them escape! ”
Sheng Yong looked at the messy wounds on Zhu Gaoxu's body for a while, and said, "Why don't you go back to the barracks first and ask Lang Zhong from the baggage camp to bandage your wounds?" The rest will be left to the last general and others. ”
Zhu Gaoxu felt very reasonable after hearing this, he thought that he could not kill people from his injuries, but he was afraid of infection...... What if you're unlucky, isn't it for nothing that you fought so many battles? Moreover, among the civil and military soldiers of the entire group of the Han Palace, only Zhu Gaoxu has an identity that is easy for the world to recognize, and if he dies, the Han Mansion is still in danger of being destroyed!
"That's fine." Zhu Gaoxu nodded very wisely, but he didn't forget to advise, "General Sheng, although the pursuit is not as difficult as in the decisive battle, it is the most important part of this battle!" Once he was negligent and let the men and horses of the official army run away, Zhang Fu could still get a large army again. ”
Sheng Yong's expression was solemn, and he clenched his fists and said vigorously: "The last general will live up to the prince's trust!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and immediately turned his head and said, "Hou Hai, you write another military order." Send someone to find peace, and ask him to lead the cavalry to keep an eye on Liu Sheng's people, so that it is best to delay his escape; And told Ping'an and Wang Bin to obey General Sheng's moderation. General Sheng was solely responsible for pursuing the defeated army. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Order Qu Neng to control Zhao Ping, be responsible for destroying the remaining remnants of the enemy army on the battlefield, and then obey General Sheng's orders!" ”
Hou Haidao: "The lower officials obey the order. ”
Sheng Yong clenched his fists and said, "Please wait for the news of the last general." Leave! ”
Zhu Gaoxu also hugged his fists and saluted back. When Sheng Yong left with the horse team, Zhu Gaoxu also turned around and walked in the direction of the barracks with his personal guards. When he rushed up a charred hill, he glanced back at his horse and saw that in the large array of Sheng Yong's army, some phalanxes had begun to adjust into columns one after another.
The battle formation was in disarray, and the wounded men and horses were very messy behind the military formation.
By this time, the sun was slowly deflecting from overhead to the west. From the morning, the two battles against Xue Lujun and Tan Zhong's army were not long, and it is estimated that one battle is about half an hour; However, the deployment of the army, the adjustment of the phalanx queue, and the advancement of the army took longer than the fight.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, and felt that Sheng Yong and Qu Neng were experienced in using soldiers, and they were also calm and calm, so they were relieved. He shouted and continued south.
