Chapter 534: Who's in Charge of the Ups and Downs (7)

"This campaign is related to the Ming Dynasty, how important it is! Can you afford it? Xue Lutie roared with a blue face, "Whoever runs, kills whom!" ”

However, there were more and more people who dispersed and retreated, and they were all fried within a radius of more than two miles! The number of law enforcement teams with machetes is too small to frighten too many people in the phalanx.

In the distance, two law enforcement sergeants were swinging their knives and shouting and slashing people, when they were suddenly pulled off their horses by the surging rout. In a few moments, after a group of people stepped on them, the sergeant who enforced the law was reduced to two piles of flesh and blood.

Xue Lu looked at the retreating phalanx, the larger and more chaotic formation, stretched out his hand and unconsciously made a useless action. His palms were closed one by one, as if casting a spell to stop the rout.

The effect of the spell apparently has not. A hillside to the north was full of chaotic people, more and more people were desperately fleeing, and the situation of the rout did not change.

"Dashuai, let's go!" The pro-soldier general beside him persuaded him.

Yes, at this time, don't talk about a general with experience in battle formations, even if it is a low-level general, you can see it: it's hopeless!

The total strength of Xue Lu's army at the beginning was more than 100,000; plus 30,000 cavalry reinforced by the Chinese army...... With such a large battle formation, once the whole army is defeated, the gods will not be able to save it.

Zhang Fu's voice seemed to sound in his ears again: Yang Wuhou, if you have a little more difference, it is impossible for you to have a third chance to lead the troops. Whether you glorify your ancestors or die in humiliation and depression depends on today.

Xue Lu also realized that Zhang Fu was telling the truth, how could he be willing to accept his fate? Resignation is death! He remembered what he had done before, and I am afraid it was not as simple as ending up depressed, and his fear spread in his body!

At this moment, Xue Lu suddenly found a cavalry in the distance chasing and killing the rout, several flags fluttering in the wind, one of which had the word "Han" written on it!

"Kill the King of Han!" Xue Lu suddenly shouted frantically! With red eyes, he pointed at the road ahead with a knife, his face was flushed with a sickly flush, and he actually smiled, "Rush with me, behead the King of Han in battle, and worship the marquis!" ”

The soldiers and soldiers are busy dissuading, but where can they be persuaded? Xue Lu threatened them: "The general died in battle, and if you escape, you will all have to die in the whole family!" ”

Xue Lu thought that the waist knife in his hand was too small, so he leaned over and picked up a ghost-headed knife dropped by the law enforcement soldiers from the ground. He immediately led a group of personal soldiers and horses and rushed towards the banner of the Han King in the distance.

Along the way, he encountered the rout of the officers and soldiers fleeing in the opposite direction, and Xue Lu saw that it was a knife. With a "bang", the ghost-headed broadsword slashed violently, slashing the helmet and head of an officer and sergeant all cracked together! When the soldier fell to the ground, blood dripping from his head and all over his face. At this time, Xue Lu actually felt a little happy in his heart!

Somehow, he now resents these deserters more than the enemy! So Xue Lu rushed to kill, and at the same time killed a few officers and soldiers who had fled.

The horse team sprinted for a while, and Xue Lu finally approached the banner of the Han King, so he roared, raised the ghost head knife and rushed forward! He was unstoppable and unstoppable, and the cavalry behind him had to follow.

Xue Lu did not want to kill the rebel horse team, and the rebel knights he encountered were not opponents, and Xue Lu cut several people in a row. He was also hit by an arrow in the back himself, but he didn't stop at all, and continued to rush desperately.

The Chinese army was quickly outflanked and divided by the superior rebel horse team, screaming and suffering heavy casualties. Xue Lu fought hard for a while, but he didn't find Zhu Gaoxu! He had seen Zhu Gaoxu's face and knew King Han, but he rushed back and forth several times and didn't see anyone.

Xue Lu calmed down a little, and after observing, he gradually felt that King Han was not here at all! If a vassal king leads his troops to charge and kill, the surrounding battles and pomp are different, and this rebel horse team does not have such characters.

"Ahh Xue Lu was hit by another arrow, this time near the right shoulder blade, not far away a horse had just put down the bow, and the arrow feathers near it penetrated the armor. Xue Lu was furious and glared at the rebel knight, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but the ghost head knife in his right hand could not be lifted.

"Kill that guy for me, cut!" Xue Lu shouted.

But the surging rebel horse team over there has more troops, and the remaining cavalry of the official army is almost unstoppable, so how can there be spare strength to attack and kill? Seeing this, the pro-soldier general came up and slapped Xue Lu's mount on the left shoulder, beckoned several riders around him to come up, and escorted Xue Lu to turn and retreat.

Xue Lu had already concluded that Zhu Gaoxu was not here, and he no longer objected to the pro-soldier generals, but just turned his head and scolded twice. As soon as the scolding fell, there was a sudden "whoosh", and an arrow flew across his left cheek, leaving a hot stinging pain.

The banner of the Chinese army of the Xue Lu Department of the official army also fell, and it was messy on all sides, and the shouts and screams shook the heavens and the earth, and countless people rushed to the north as if they had encountered a catastrophe.

The remaining cavalry escorted Xue Lu and moved closer to the direction of Tan Zhongbu in the west.

In front of Tan Zhongjun, there were also earth-shattering shouts and dense firecrackers at this time, and the front army had already fought!

After a long time, Xue Lu saw Zhang Fu, the general of the Ping Han Dynasty, coming towards this side. Xue Lu's mind was blank, and he didn't know how to face Zhang Fu.

…… Zhang Fu breathed heavily, desperately suppressing the violent emotions in his heart. He finally said coldly: "General Xue has controlled more than 100,000 people, has it been half an hour since the war began?" ”

Xue Lu stretched out his hand and touched the blood stains on his cheek, gritted his teeth and said, "The rebels' artillery, a long list of people and horses that have been eroded by a cannon, are extraordinary things......"

Zhang Fu's anger was no longer too suppressed, and he said angrily: "If you can defeat the army with artillery alone, what is the use of giving you more than 100,000 people?" ”

Xue Lu was speechless, his body was trembling, and complex expressions such as anger and despair appeared on his face.

Zhang Fu raised his hand and pointed at Xue Lu's nose, exhaled a long breath, and finally did not continue to scold him; Zhang Fu glanced at Xue Lu with angry eyes, shook his fingers a few times, and then put down his hand wordlessly.

At this time, scolding Xue Lu again has no effect.

Zhang Fu left Xue Lu and ignored it, and galloped south for a while. The surrounding cannons roared, the smoke of gunpowder filled the large array, the smoke in front was thicker, and the sound of killing on the long horizontal front shook the sky, and the sound of fire and strings rang out in unison.

The big array on Tan Zhong's side was facing the rebel Sheng Yong's department.

Tan Zhongjun was strengthened by some of the original He Fujun's troops, and Zhang Fu mobilized the troops of other departments to come over, at this time Tan Zhongjun had at least 80,000 infantry, lined up in a large formation more than two miles wide! It stands to reason that the strength of Tan Zhong's army does not suffer a loss in the face of the Sheng Yong rebels in the front.

However, Zhang Fu had already expected that after the rebels on the left flank (east) had completely defeated and occupied the camp of Xue Lu's army, most of the troops would turn around and flank Tan Zhong's army from the eastern flank!

At present, Tan Zhongjun's situation is very bad, once he is attacked by heavy troops from both sides, it is very likely that the whole army will collapse again like Xue Lujun.

And Zhang Fu came from the position of the Chinese army in the west before, and found that the Qu Neng rebels on the west side of Sheng Yong were also preparing to attack. Zhang Fu now saw the rebels' tactics completely clearly; After the rebels broke through Xue Lu's army, the war is gradually spreading westward in an orderly manner!

If we sit idly by and watch the situation develop, the rebels, who are already weak in total strength, will have the upper hand; As a result, every round of major battles between the officers and the army will be in a situation of being outnumbered, and the disadvantages will continue to expand!

What to do at this point?

When Zhang Fu was thinking about countermeasures, he subconsciously actually understood that the situation was not good.

Xue Lujun lost more than 100,000 soldiers; The main force of the official cavalry was also driven westward, and the multi-lane horse team was scattered, and the combat strength was greatly weakened...... In such a situation, the superiority of the officers and troops has disappeared! In this battle, the total number of troops that the officers and troops could still use was actually less than that of the rebels.

What's more, the current layout and situation of the battle formation are also quite unfavorable to the officers and troops. How easy is it to adjust the layout of the large array when the army of several official armies has been deployed for more than ten miles, and it is only before the battle is ready to adjust the layout of the large array? In addition, the battle situation is unfavorable at this time, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that the rout of the whole army will be accelerated.

Zhang Fu pondered for a while, gradually calmed down, and had to make a judgment: Maybe this time the battle has been defeated!

He felt cold and numb in his hands and feet, his limbs didn't know where they were, and his spirit was a little dazed. Zhang Fu shook his head vigorously and looked up at the east. Looking through the drifting gunsmoke, he saw a large array of rebels, gathering and arranging in the original place of Xue Lu's army.

The vast battlefield is clearly seeing the enemy's movements, clearly knowing what they want to do, and the development of the situation is slow and gradual; However, Zhang Fu held the power of the army, but suddenly felt powerless and out of control.

Zhang Fu's heart was uncertain. Occasionally, he had already taken out a map from his arms, and wanted to decide how to withdraw as soon as possible; And I was looking forward to the arrival of the night, after all, it was not a wise move to retreat now, more than half of the rebels' forces had been pressed in front of them!

But soon he was very unwilling, thinking hard about whether there was still a chance to turn defeat into victory!

When I think of the situation after the defeat in this battle, the situation is even more difficult; From the country to his fate, the battle will have far-reaching consequences...... At this time, Zhang Fu always wanted to hope to change the situation, right now, here!

At this moment, Xue Lu actually followed again.

As soon as Zhang Fu saw him, he was angry, and immediately said coldly: "What is General Xue still doing here?" If you don't try to gather up the routs under your command, what are you waiting for? ”

Xue Lu wanted to speak again and again, because the rebels still had horse teams in pursuit. However, Xue Lu finally hugged his fists and said, "The last general will do it immediately." ”

Zhang Fu looked at the east side again, turned his head and said, "Go and tell Tan Zhong to quickly transfer the Quan Yong team to the left flank and form a flank defense line!" Do you still need me to order these things? ”

"Order!"

Zhang Fu's palms were covered with sweat, and the scroll of maps that he held tightly in his hands was also softened. He silently thought in his heart: At this time, if you play for a while, is there any hope of turning defeat into victory?

Until now, his decision is still not firm. On the battlefield that the eyes can see, there are still many people in the officers and soldiers, and there is no defeat at all! But the speculation in my heart is that the battle seems to have been decided.
