Chapter 182: Capture the General
The Sui army and the Han army, each with an army of 100,000 troops, participated in the battle one after another, and the battle was too fierce, fighting from the morning to noon, and the mountains and fields were full of battle scenes, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses and bones were piled up.

If you look around, you will find that within a radius of several miles, the ground is full of dead corpses, swords, ge, spears, halberds, and teng shields are scattered all over the ground, many of which are still inserted in the bones of the corpses, and the stumps and arms are scattered everywhere, and the blood stains the land, and the bloody blood makes people feel sick.
Yang Su is experienced and ruthless in using soldiers, Xiao Maha is not a mediocre person, constantly dispatching troops, in response to the formation issued by Yang Su, timely dispatching troops to intercept, and struggling to support, until dusk, the formation of the Han army finally collapsed.
"Catch up, break the rebels, and behead for meritorious service!"
The Sui army was actually exhausted, but victory was in sight, and all of them had the strength to rush over like tigers and wolves.
In particular, the remaining iron cavalry, cut vertically and horizontally, they ploughed into a ridge-like formation, the rebel battle formation collapsed, the soldiers could not communicate with each other, and all that was left was a one-sided slaughter scene.
This time the assault has been decided.
Xiao Maha ordered the withdrawal of the army, intending to withdraw from Shili to reorganize, but the psychological quality of the rebels is gone, because once they fail, they will have no hope and future, and lose the opportunity to make a comeback.
An army that has been discouraged is retreating, and the atmosphere of panic is irrepressible, and when facing the enemy, they can still fight desperately, turn around and run, how can the armies not fight for their lives?
The defeat and retreat of a large army is the factor that is most likely to lead to the failure of command and the lowest morale of the three armies; when a huge army retreats, especially in ancient times, it is very difficult for even a wise general to turn the tide and exercise effective command over the three armies.
This is also the reason why Luo Zhaoyun completed the task and retreated without being annihilated, and was impressed by other generals.
When you charge into battle very bravely, that's just brave, if you retreat, you can still control the three armies without messing up, this side is a handsome talent, it's too rare.
However, at that time, because Luo Zhaoyun had done a good job of propaganda work in advance, the generals knew that the army was ambushed behind, and there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and the quality of the soldiers of the three armies was also excellent, but the current rebels did not want to serve the King of Han anymore, so they hurriedly fled for their lives, because they knew that the King of Han was going to fall.
The army was encircled, and the rebels fled in all directions, completely dispersed.
Luo Zhaoyun took the lead and led the troops to kill the direction of the commander's banner, he knew very well that in the retreat, the army's morale was scattered, but there were still some people who were more loyal and would still follow the commander to evacuate.
"Protect the General!"
Some pro-army guards tightly surrounded Xiao Maha and slowly retreated to break through.
Luo Zhaoyun led hundreds of people to fight into the deepest area of the rebels, with superb gun skills and unstoppable bravery, as if entering a no-man's land.
The armor soldiers along the way could not be stopped at all, and the cavalry of several hundred people chiseled through, and soon caught up with Xiao Maha's team.
"Slash!" Luo Zhaoyun shouted, rode over, pulled out his waist knife and slashed, directly cutting off the thick and tall marshal flag, and the moment he fell, many rebel soldiers on the periphery panicked.
"Where is Xiao Maha going!"
Luo Zhaoyun and Guo Xiaoke led hundreds of guard knights, rushing forward like tigers out of the cage, and killed them without hesitation.
The pro-army that protected Xiao Maha began to block, but the morale was insufficient and the combat effectiveness was weakened, even if there were many people, they could no longer resist.
Xiao Maha looked at the mighty young generals in the crowd, full of emotion, thinking back then, when he was young, why wasn't he so heroic and brave to win the three armies? Now that the wind and candle are in their last years, they have not lived for a few years, and they have no physical strength to fight, their kung fu has long been degraded, and the heroes are in the twilight, and they have no more courage to regain their former courage.
"Boom!" Xiao Maha pulled out his long knife and shouted: "Fight!" ”
"General, break through!" An adjutant general exhorted.
"What if you break out? The general trend has gone, instead of going back and being tied up and surrendered, it is better to have a glorious curtain call now! Xiao Maha laughed miserably, thinking very openly.
"Kill-" Xiao Maha swung his knife and rushed up, fighting with Luo Zhaoyun, the big knife was fast, the knife technique was exquisite, very skillful, and the fire was very strong, but unfortunately, he was old and weak, and it was difficult to maintain even the dark energy.
As soon as the twenty rounds passed, he was swept off the horse by Luo Zhaoyun with a shot and captured alive.
Luo Zhaoyun knew his identity, so he didn't stab him to death and saved his life.
Xiao Maha sat on the ground and sighed: "I don't know this young general, but the pioneer general Luo Cheng?" ”
"Yes, it's me!" Luo Zhaoyun immediately shot at home, unspeakably free and easy.
Xiao Maha had a strange face, nodded, and said, "A hero is a young man, and he is not in vain!" ”
Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to come up with such a sentence, and he felt a little more respect in his heart, and the mind and bearing of a famous general were really much stronger than those of mediocre people. (To be continued.) )
