Chapter 471: Fierce Battle (4)

When the Xian army sounded the horn, the barbarian army also sounded their battle horn, trying to gather the remnants, but Bailiyan would not give Bakudun a chance.

The rapidly assembled cavalry of the Xian army did not gather for a long time, and in an instant, they rushed towards the retreating barbarian heavy infantry on the southern flank, and the barbarian army that tried to regroup was met with a heavy attack by the Xian army in the dark.

As the fierce battle continued, and the news of the defeat of Bacudun did not reach the barbarian camp until the heavy cavalry was nearly completely annihilated, and Nilesen was so shocked that he could hardly believe his ears:

"In less than an hour, they cut off the legs of 10,000 war horses, it's unbelievable, they must be crazy!"

"Commander of the corps, General Bakudun is now in a bitter battle, and he has asked for reinforcements from the large battalion."

"No!" Nilerson flatly refused reinforcements, and he could even imagine what would happen to them: "The herald ordered Bacuton to hold his place at all costs until the second half of the night, and must wait until the Duhui defenders are repulsed." ”

At this time, Nilesen still fantasized that Bakuton could hold out until the second half of the night, but the reality was that after Baili Yan surrounded the remaining seven or eight thousand people in Bakuton, he quickly withdrew from the scene and went straight behind the barbarian army outside the north gate.

At this time, a fierce white light accompanied by a piercing whistling sound rose out of thin air, and in the dark night, the battle horn of the Xian army suddenly sounded.

"It's the Xianjun, and the Xianjun is inserting it from behind!"

Su Fangyi was overjoyed, Shu Tong saw that the situation was not right, took out the telescope and looked north-west, only to see three whistles dazzling bright light and horn sound, the barbarian army outside the city quickly flew away, but there was no trace of the Xian army, seeing this, Shu Tong said:

"No, the Xian army is in the northeast, no longer in the northwest, behind the barbarian army."

"Oh!" Su Fangyi was shocked, and looked left and right with the binoculars, and it was indeed as Shu Tong said, the situation in the northwest direction was different: "What General Shu said is very true, hurry up and prepare to get out of the city!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Su take care!"

When Bailiyan broke away from the battle, he did not enter the back of the barbarian army from the north-west, but made people deceive, and whistled behind the barbarian army and blew the battle horn, but he took the men and horses to the north-east of Duhui City, and launched an attack on the side of the barbarian army.

"Soldiers!" Bailiyan rode in front of the battle, boosting morale for the final fatal blow. "I know that everyone is exhausted and wants to rest and recuperate. However, the city of Duhui is in danger, the situation cannot be delayed, if our army does not fight, Duhui will be slaughtered, and our army will have no way to retreat. For the sake of a glimmer of life, and for the sake of the brothers who died in battle, you must fight to the death in this battle, kill the bloody road for the defenders and civilians in the city, all the infantry troops have it, raise fire, and the cavalry battalions will kill me! ”

"Kill!"

All the troops shouted in unison, the fighting spirit was high-pitched, and the Baili Yan spear stepped forward to take the lead, taking the lead in the front of the formation, and inserting it behind the barbarian army.

Suddenly attacked from behind the Xian army, the barbarian rearguard infantry was caught off guard. Bailiyan had no time to exert tactical impact, pressed on the whole line, and strived to pierce the barbarian army in the back.

At the same time, the news came back to the barbarian camp, and Nilesen led the generals to climb the high platform of the camp outside the east gate, and looked north at the Xian army that had suddenly killed from behind, and his chest was dripping with blood like a cone at the moment, which pierced his heart fiercely, making him furious:

"I swear, you'll pay for it!" Nilson gritted his teeth, his face twitched and shouted hysterically, "Someone! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order the commander-in-chief, Romanta, to mobilize 5,000 heavy infantry, seal their infantry, concentrate all the cavalry, and surround the northern army behind our army from the outside, and annihilate them at all costs, and whoever kills the head of the northerners' main generals will be promoted by two levels, and the bounty will be 5,000!"

"Yes!"

When it was young, the barbarian army sounded the battle call for the cavalry to assemble, and whether they were on the battlefield or elsewhere, all the cavalry heard the horn and quickly left the battlefield and rushed to the assembly area. At the same time, Su Fangyi and Shu Tong led the army from the north gate to break through to the north.

Soon after Nilerson withdrew the cavalry, he transferred 20,000 infantry troops from the east camp and the south camp in an attempt to transfer them to the north gate to block the coalition army from breaking through.

At this time, the coalition forces broke through the encirclement, the two armies encountered in the chaos, the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and the Soviet side ordered the old and weak to defend Duhui on the east side of the north gate, and was ruthlessly slaughtered when encountering the barbarian army, but it was a precious half an hour for the coalition army to flee north.

After the fierce battle until the second half of the night, Saiqian withdrew, Shu Tong led the Song army and the royal cavalry to break the ladder, and Su Fangyi rode a horse to lead the people's army and the royal guests, and fled north with young women and babies.

Sai Qian fought for a day, he was exhausted, and rode a horse to catch up with Su Fangyi from behind:

"Mr. Su, I'm a disciple!"

"In order to cover the breakthrough of our army, Gongzi Yan led the army to enter from the northeast corner, leading away the main force of the barbarian army besieging the city, Shu Tong is leading the cavalry to respond, and Xu is on the way to retreat at this time."

Shu Tong led the cavalry to the east to relieve the siege, but was blocked by 10,000 elite light cavalry of the barbarian army, and never broke through to the east.

"General, the barbarian army is gathering more and more, let's withdraw quickly!"

Lu Gao shouted, Bailiyan reined in the war horse, and quickly looked around the battlefield, at this time surrounded on all sides, the enemy army was countless, and there was almost no weak defense line that could be broken through, he said:

"Order, the whole army breaks through to the northwest and employs people down."

"No!"

In the northwest, where the Xian army is located, it is the direction of Su Fangyi's breakthrough, under the chaos, the battalion structure collapsed, the trumpeters blew a few times, and the Xian army swarmed to the northwest, less than two miles away from the Shutong people and horses in a straight line.

The fierce battle lasted until dawn and dusk, and Jiang Zhan's army was the first to break out of the encirclement, followed by Xu Rong, and then there were infantry troops who broke out of the encirclement.

"Look, general, it's the Xian army!"

The general pointed to the southeast, Shu Tong looked fixedly, and he could vaguely distinguish the Xianjun uniform.

"Quick, hurry up and answer!"

"No!"

Shu Tong personally led the people to respond, but when he encountered, there was still no trace of Baili Yan:

"Who are you waiting for, General Bailiyan!"

Shi Chang, who spoke with a patriotic accent, replied:

"We are General Jiang Zhan's subordinates."

Shu Tong knew that the Xian army hired a patriotic army, and Jiang Zhan was its leader.

At this time, the battlefield was in chaos, the soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not recognize the soldiers, all the units of the Xian army had been dispersed, and they only cared about fleeing for their lives, and the organization and order were gone.

Shu Tong wanted to continue to fight to the east, but in the chaos of the army, he bumped into Lu Zhao, who was seriously wounded, and was carried out of the encirclement, with a secondary armor and chain mail on his back, which had been cut open by the heavy axemen of the barbarians, and the four-inch-long wound was deep and bone-seeing:

"General Lu, how are your injuries?"

Lu Zhao was already dying, and blood was spurting from his mouth:

"My family, the general is trapped in the enemy position, quickly save him... Save him ......"

Lu Zhao didn't come up in one breath, and he had already passed out.

"Quick, carry it down!"

Shu Tong hurriedly said, continued to throw people to the east to assault, the troops behind him were getting thinner and thinner, and he was cut off by the barbarian heavy infantry behind him. Equipped with one-handed axes, fine iron shields, or long-pole weapons, the Jinxuedi heavy infantry was draped in iron armor on the upper body and thick oxhide armor on the lower body, which was extremely tough.

"General Shu, our army and the royal cavalry are being cut off from retreat by the barbarian army's ironclad formation, and continue to assault to the east, there is a danger of being completely annihilated, it is better to retreat, otherwise it will be too late!"

"Wouldn't retreating at this time put Bailiyan in danger! Continue to assault to the east, and at all costs, you must also pick up Bailiyan! ”

At this time, Shu Tong was not thinking about the death or injury of the Song army, but to let Bai Liyan owe a great favor to the Song State, or at least to return the favor of Duhui for breaking through the siege, so as to create a more favorable political foundation for the future transaction between the two countries.

The bloody sacrifice of war is always to serve political purposes, Shu Tong is very aware of this, but nowadays, in the atmosphere of believing in benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, Shu Tong's foresight is undoubtedly a far-sighted and clever measure.

The politics of the vassal states are often influenced by the important ministers of the court, who can influence the important ministers, who can control the court, Bailiyan is the humerus that Shu Tong hopes to influence and influence the political situation of the Xianguo, the sacrifice at this time is in exchange for greater returns in the future, and the benefits obtained are far more than the loss of thousands of people now.

Shu Tong ignored the danger of the back road being cut off, and continued to assault eastward, unaware that Bailiyan was already in danger.

"General, the gap opened has been blocked by the barbarian army, and there is no hope of breaking through in the northwest, so let's choose another way!"

Sikong Nan said anxiously, the chain mail on his left arm had been cut open, and blood kept seeping out. Baili Yan took the reins of the horse and spun around the six gods without a master, and the square inch was already in chaos:

"How many centaurs are left!"

"Those who can break through have already broken through, and those trapped are all cavalry, and the barbarian army has blocked the return road from west to north with an ironclad array, and the cavalry can't kill it at all!"

"Bastards, they're going to kill us! What about the coalition forces, where are the coalition forces! ”

"It can be seen that the banner of the Song army is one mile west of our army, but it is blocked by the barbarian army's ironclad formation, and it is hopeless for our army to get closer."

Nelleson adopted the tactics of concentrating forces to isolate first and then strangle, with the shield army giving priority to cutting off the connection between the coalition forces, then cutting off the retreat, and finally concentrating the mobile cavalry to annihilate the coalition battalions one by one.

Within a distance of Bailiyan to three and a half miles, the coalition forces that came to meet were cut into several sections one after another, unable to organize a rescue, but fell into a dead place.

Seeing this, Bai Liyan knew that continuing to break through to the north or west would only encounter stronger resistance.

"Quickly use people to pass on, all the horses and horses break through to the southeast, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

The more and more barbarian troops gathered outside the north of the city, the rescue coalition army fell into a bitter battle one after another and was forced to retreat, Shutong was deeply besieged and independent, and there were less than 4,000 horsemen killed around him.

"General Shu, retreat, the barbarian army is forming a roundabout formation on the northern flank of our army, and if you don't retreat, the brothers will all fight out!"

Shu Tong was unwilling, and said resentfully:

"Alas...... Remove! ”

"No!"

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The generals shouted hoarsely and shouted for retreat, the Song army collapsed like a tide, the defense line collapsed, and quickly broke through to the north.

The barbarian army gathered heavily on the west and north flanks, and the breakthrough was slim, Bailiyan led his troops to go against each other, and broke through to the southeast.

By the time the battle was fierce, the barbarian army had already entered the city, Duhui City fell, and the allied army fled north to Yesui. The barbarian army was pinned down outside the north of the city, and until midnight, the barbarian army drew 20,000 cavalry and went to pursue the coalition army, and the results of the battle were unknown.
