Chapter 386: The Decisive Battle of Chengjiang (Part II)

"The enemy army has only received thousands of reinforcements, and our army is far superior to the enemy's strength, so how can we be defeated? Don't be alarmist! Wang Zizhi scolded Jin Fushi, and then said to Wang Yu, "King, the sentry of our army has warned in time, I believe that General Yin Yanyi will not turn a blind eye, our army will only suffer some small losses in this battle, and it will definitely not be defeated."

Moreover, the number of enemy raids is small, and if they are dealt with properly, they will only add a little trouble. ”

Jin Fushi pointed to the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Most of our army are new troops, and the morale of the army is already unstable. ”

Wang Zizhi gritted his teeth and retorted, "The thief army killed the squire, causing the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, who is not willing to fight to the death?" What's more, there are 100,000 people, where is it so easy to be disrupted, as long as you deal with it carefully, even if you don't win, you can be preserved, your lord, it is imperative now to let General Yin Yanyi prepare to withdraw the army. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "Lord Wang is reasonable, quickly, quickly order Yin Yanyi and let him slowly withdraw from the army." ”

Wang Yu no longer has the luxury of attacking half-crossing, it is obvious that the Liangshan army, which has an absolute advantage in the water division, does not need to hold on to Kaizhou, now, what he hopes is that his military superiority can be maintained, as for the counteroffensive, let's talk about it later.

"King, I'm worried that General Yin Yanyi will be deceived by the chance of victory, after all, as long as the 20,000 horses and horses that have crossed the river are eliminated, our army can recover the capital." Wang Zizhi arched his hand and said, Wang Yu said to the guards next to him, "You take my sword, and you must slowly retreat from the army." ”

Jin Fushi hurriedly said, "The king can't, the art of war says, the general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, this battle is very strange, General Yin Yanyi is a general of a hundred battles, we still believe in his judgment." ”

"In the end, scholars don't know soldiers." Wang Zizhi snorted, "You only know one thing, you don't know the other, I am waiting here, sitting and watching the overall situation, as the so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and our judgment is the most correct." ”

Jin Fushi looked at the battlefield in the distance in distress and no longer expressed his opinion.

Of course, Yin Yanyi saw the black wolf smoke, he knew that the battle was dangerous the first moment he saw it, he believed that the Liangshan army would not have too many troops to smuggle to the north bank, but he believed that it was useless, the sergeants below had to believe it, seeing the thick and black wolf smoke, everyone knew that there was an enemy army coming from the west, how many people there were, I don't know, the city in the west is still there, I don't know, even the rear is still not there, I don't know.

The only thing these sergeants know is that they have been flanked from both sides, as long as anyone who knows a little bit knows that a two-sided flanking attack is generally a harbinger of defeat, and if you want to die after defeat, it depends on how fast you can escape.

You don't have to be faster than the enemy, you just have to be faster than your own people.

It is because of this idea that the armies that have always been ambushed and flanked are rarely undefeated.

Yin Yanyi immediately divided the army into two groups, one group continued to attack the Liangshan army, which continued to want to go ashore, and the other group turned to prepare to meet the enemy from the west.

It is easy for one person to turn, but it is too difficult for 10,000 people, for a while, the Goryeo army formation began to be chaotic because of the turn, and the Goryeo army engaged in the front and the Liangshan army heard the chaos behind them, and then turned back to see the wolf smoke, listening to the news of the enemy army coming from the west, coupled with the sudden fierce attack of the Liangshan army, the whole morale fell.

"Show your right arm, surrender and don't kill! Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, go home and divide the fields! Show your right arm, surrender and don't kill! Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, go home and divide the fields!! ”

The slogans that came out of the Liangshan army began to change, and finally, there was the first person who couldn't hold on.

"I surrender, don't kill me, I surrender, don't fight, don't fight!" A Goryeo sergeant looked at the corpse beside him that was smashed into pieces by a shell, suddenly dropped his weapon, squatted down with his head in his hands, and shouted, and the Goryeo officer next to him saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to raise his knife and cut it, but was stopped by one person.

"What do you want to do! Brothers, these officials don't treat us as human beings, and they know that if they tell us to die, we will do the opposite! ”

Most of the Goryeo army was organized in villages, and most of the sergeants in each team were from a village, which maximized the cohesion of these recruits, but once there were people who rebelled against surrender, it was extremely difficult for officers to suppress them.

The officer, a member of the small nobles of the local village, drew his sword and pointed at the man who had stopped him with his sword, shouting, "Do you want to rebel too?" ”

"I still want your field!" What the officer didn't expect was a loud shout from behind him, and then he felt his head fly, and the last sight he saw was that the mud legs that he had been unable to look at began to show their right arms, shouting loudly and slashing at the other officers.

Surrender and rebellion began to spread like a plague among the Goryeo army. The Goryeo army looked at the people around him who rebelled, and suddenly looked nervously at the people around him, for fear that the people around him would also give him a knife, the officer looked at the sergeant, as long as the sergeant stepped forward to fight slowly, he scolded whether he wanted to rebel, the sergeant stared at the officer, as long as the officer approached, he was worried about whether he thought he was going to surrender and killed himself.

For a while, you kill me, I kill you, you defend me, I defend you, the front army of Goryeo was in chaos, Lu Junyi saw the opportunity and shouted loudly, "The whole army is assaulting!" ”

The knife and axe hand who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, Gu Wei and Li Zhen of the Duhu Shu were holding a huge mace, and one was holding two big axes, and they took the lead in rushing forward, and these two people also specially put on masks, wah-wow, shouting barbarian words that others could not understand, and facing a Goryeo army is a knife or a stick, and there were thousands of killing gods behind them, and the already chaotic Goryeo army was rushed like this, and immediately and completely collapsed.

The great chaos of the Goryeo army began, and at this time, the cavalry of Liangshan had already arrived under the city of Kaizhou, Qin Ming brandished his mace and laughed, "We have a great achievement!" Quick, kill it!! ”

Yin Yanyi was still preparing to deal with Qin Ming and the others in the west at this time, and the Goryeo army that he hastily organized looked at the smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun, and many of them trembled, their teeth were fighting, and they didn't feel safe looking at the spear in their hands.

He also knew how much courage it took for the infantry to face the impact of the cavalry, so he kept letting the officers patrol around, so that the sergeant calmed down, and the collision began, Qin Ming took the lead, behind him were Cheng Min and Hu Yanyu, a mace, a Xuanhua axe, a muddy iron spear, the three of them formed an arrow, and thousands of cavalry behind him barely formed a cone-shaped formation, Qin Ming looked at the spear that stabbed at him, and when he took the first stick, a few spears were set aside, Cheng Min stepped forward with a big axe, and Hu Yanyu's spear stabbed sharply, The Goryeo army, whose morale had plummeted, was rushed out.

"Quick! Plug the gap!! Yin Yanyi shouted loudly, and a horse flew to his side, shouting loudly, "General, it's not good, many of those recruits have rebelled under the bewitchment of the thief army, and our army has begun to rout!" ”

"What?" Yin Yanyi hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the Goryeo military flag on the bank of the river began to run around, looking like that, if it wasn't for his main flag being moved here by him, he would have been disrupted by those routs.

"Newspaper!! The king has an order, the thief army is treacherous, our army is attacked by the thief army, I am afraid that there will be disadvantages, let the general lead the army to retreat slowly, do not disobey the order! Another person came running, but this person was holding a sword in his hand, and Yin Yanyi recognized it at a glance as Wang Yu's sword.

"Kill!" There was another shout, Yin Yanyi turned around and just saw Qin Ming using a mace to beat a person into the air, Qin Ming and him looked at each other, laughed and said, "That must be a big official, brothers, give it to me!" ”

"Withdraw... Evacuate!! Let the cavalry break off, and retreat quickly!! Yin Yanyi was taken aback by Qin Ming's fierce appearance, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Yin Yanyi's general flag began to retreat, and seeing Yin Yanyi's general flag retreating, Lu Junyi shouted loudly, "Goryeo is defeated!" Goryeo is defeated!! ”

The people around were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted together in Goryeo, and suddenly the entire battlefield was the cry of Goryeo's defeat, and those Goryeo troops who were still fighting took the time to look back, but didn't they, even the generals ran away, so what else was there to start? If you don't run fast, you'll either surrender or die.

Wang Yu stood on the city wall and watched his 100,000 army suddenly collapse, and suddenly slowly collapsed to the ground, and kept muttering "defeated, defeated..."

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, and the only thing that can be done now is to minimize the losses of the Goryeo army. Fortunately, Yin Yanyi had been prepared for this defeat, not only reserved reserves, but also left a team of cavalry, under the break of these people, the Goryeo army asked the Liangshan army to pursue and kill, and withdrew to Dazhai, but the ordnance and materials discarded along the way were countless.

The sky gradually darkened, Yin Yanyi sat sluggishly on the high place of Dazhai, this is Dazhai outside Kaizhou City, and thanks to this Dazhai, the Goryeo army had a place to hide when they hurriedly retreated.

"General, the king ordered you to enter the city..."A general came over and said, Yin Yanyi looked at him, smiled bitterly and said, "The general of the defeated army, why should you be brave, you are optimistic about the brothers, I will go." ”

"General! If you go, there will be more than one luck! "There is a general next to him.

"The thief army is powerful, and the king will not do anything to destroy the Great Wall." Yin Yanyi thought for a while and said, "Don't think about it, quickly count the losses, treat the wounded, prepare for defense, and the days of war are still long." ”

“... Be! These Goryeo generals looked at Yin Yanyi worriedly, and in the Liangshan village on the other side, there was a completely different atmosphere, everyone was happily eating, drinking water, and wine... I'm afraid I won't be able to drink until the war is over.

"Our army not only did not reduce the number of troops in this battle, but also increased a lot, which is really a big joke in the world." Zhu Wu smiled and touched his beard and said, the flower carving next to him asked incomprehensibly, "Master Zhu, we have been fighting for most of the day, and we have killed and injured many brothers, how can it not decrease but increase?" ”

Jiang Degeyou lay down on the chair and said, "I think many brothers have this doubt, so who knows?" ”

The people who were eating and drinking couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously, and suddenly a black hand stretched out, Jiang De laughed and said, "The Duhu General actually raised his hand, come, talk about it, it's rewarding!" ”

Duhu Shuli Zhen stood up a little embarrassed, and then said in a non-standard Chinese dialect, "There must be a lot of Goryeo troops who have surrendered to us, and I have captured a lot of Goryeo people who shouted on the battlefield to surrender." ”

Zhu Wu clapped his hands and said, "That's right, brothers, our army suffered three or four thousand casualties in this battle, but nearly 10,000 people were captured and surrendered to the Goryeo army. ”

"The Goryeo sergeant in this battle is a lot of credit, not to mention anything else, when those Goryeo cavalry charged, if it weren't for these Goryeo spearmen in front. My Golden Gun battalion does not know how much it will lose. Xu Ning said with great satisfaction with the performance of the Goryeo sergeant.

"If our army wants to take root in Goryeo, it must make great use of these Goryeo people, especially those Goryeo talents who have come out of the civilian population like us." Jiang De raised the teacup and said, "Brothers, go back today to have a good rest, the war is still going on, this battle, those who are most willing to surrender to us have basically surrendered, and then, there is no such cheap thing." ”

"No!"

"Report!!" A scout trotted in and said, "Report!" There was a change in the city of Kaizhou, and Yin Yanyi's head was cut off and hung on the city wall. ”

"What?" Everyone shouted in surprise, Yin Yanyi is the Goryeo general who just fought with them, although he was defeated, but he is not to blame for this defeat at all, even if he is replaced, in the face of the Liangshan army that tempts its low-level sergeants to rebel with the division of land, the outcome will not change much.

"Quick, let the Koreans who know Yin Yanyi take a look and see if it's true." Jiang De waved his hand and said, and after a while, a Korean man was brought in, indicating that the head was really Yin Yanyi's.

"Yin Yanyi is the son of the former famous general Yin Qiang, and he was actually killed like this, what does this Wang Yu think?" Jiang De touched his chin and asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid that on the one hand, I want Yin Yanyi to carry the black pot, and on the other hand, I hope to take the opportunity to take over the power." Zhu Wu analyzed, "This Wang Yu has wanted to really be in charge of the dynasty all his life, to put it mildly, most of the current army in Goryeo was brought out by Yin Yanyi's father and son, and it is normal for Wang Yu to be not at ease with Yin Yanyi, but he will actually kill him, didn't Wang Yu think that after Yin Yanyi, who can control the whole army and our army against the enemy?" ”

Jiang De smiled, "This is the death of Goryeo, Yin Yanyi is the general in the army, it is easy to defeat, it is difficult to destroy, as soon as he dies, I am afraid that the one who can be in charge of the army in Goryeo is the king of the word, wait for us to use a little trick, and we will play with it between applause!" ”

After speaking, Jiang De asked Zhu Wu to bring the map and began to deploy the plan for the raid on Huangzhou that had been prepared for a long time.
