Chapter 169: The Battle of Lantian (5)
It's not that the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are unwilling to work hard, it's really that these coalition generals are too brave, and the most famous generals in the Xiliang Army have been easily defeated, what use can they have?
When the soldiers of the Xiliang Army in front of them turned to flee, the people who followed them were still a little hesitant, but at this moment, only a tiger roar was heard, and the six fierce generals entered the Xiliang Army and launched a fierce attack on these Xiliang Army soldiers.
In the era of cold weapons, the fierce general is the courage in the army, and the deterrence caused by a fierce general is enough to boost the morale of his own side, and at the same time greatly reduce the morale of the enemy, and play a key role in turning the tide of the battle at a critical moment, not to mention that now it is six fierce generals who attack at the same time, and the lethality caused to the enemy is very considerable.
And after these six fierce generals, there are Chen Zhi's 7,000 Bai Yu Army and Li Su's 8,000 Flying Bear Army followed closely behind, Li Su's Flying Bear Army is not enough, although the combat power is strong, but the Xiliang Army has not seen their strength, but Chen Zhi's 7,000 Bai Yu Army is the world's might, these 7,000 soldiers in white robes are here to stand, representing the terrifying coercion, almost all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army beat drums in their hearts when they see them, and flee from the wind.
Although this time Li Dao strengthened military discipline, and personally led his own soldiers to supervise the battle in the rear, and killed hundreds of fleeing Xiliang soldiers in a row, and finally stabilized the formation, but these soldiers were all afraid of the enemy like tigers, and they did not dare to step forward in fear, and when the coalition soldiers attacked, they barely resisted for a while, and finally turned around again and prepared to escape, but they couldn't escape, so they could only helplessly put down their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.
"Hateful! Kill me! Li Wei was furious in his heart, and immediately brandished his spear and personally commanded his most elite personal soldiers to step forward in an attempt to control the situation.
His personal army is indeed elite, and the battle is not afraid of death, but the difference in strength is too big, not to mention that in front of the six fierce generals are the end of the same life, even in the face of the Bai Yu Army, they only have the ability to parry and have no power to fight back, and they don't even have the opportunity to parry, the earliest batch of soldiers of the Bai Yu Army has only been in the army for more than half a year from enlistment, and the latest is only less than three months after enlistment, but they usually train strictly, and then they are constantly sent to the battlefield by Chen Zhi to fight against Zhang Ji, Coupled with Chen Zhi's dual characteristic bonus, the ability to fight alone is really not comparable to those sergeants of the Xiliang Army.
Therefore, just the time of tea, Li Dao's 8,000 pro-soldiers lost about half, and this huge loss was really unbearable for Li Dao, because the number of pro-soldiers lost in such a short period of time was far more than the total loss of pro-soldiers in all the wars he had experienced before.
What's more, behind the Bai Yu Army, there is also a Eight Thousand Flying Bear Army whose combat power is only one line weaker than the Bai Yu Army, and their commander Li Su has the characteristics of broken cavalry, which is the nemesis of the cavalry, and the lethality of this team to the Xiliang Army is only below the Bai Yu Army, and it is also a mortal threat to the Xiliang Army.
Li Dao didn't care about the strong combat power of the army under Pei Qing's command before, and even attributed the reason for the defeat to the sudden riot of his own army during the battle of Shangyu, but this time he lost so badly in the head-on conflict, which suddenly made him lose confidence and his heart was extremely shaken.
"What kind of army is this Pei Qing? One by one, they are like wolves and tigers, they are simply desperate to fight, and their combat power is so strong, similar to monsters, I really don't know how he cultivated such an army? I thought that my Xiliang Army could dominate the world, but now it seems that I think too highly of myself. ”
Li Wei smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, and ordered the army to retreat immediately.
Although it is a retreat, the military appearance is not too chaotic, after all, there is Li Dao there to suppress the formation, and the Xiliang army is all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, so under normal circumstances, as long as there is an orderly retreat, the result will definitely not be miserable.
However, what is unexpected is that at this moment, I only heard someone shouting not far away: "The Xiliang army is defeated, the Xiliang army is defeated, everyone hurry up and flee for your life, if it is too late, you will be killed by the Kwantung coalition army!" ”
Under this shout, Li Wei watched his soldiers immediately fall into chaos, and the soldiers in the rear immediately seemed to be crazy, desperately fleeing forward, in order to be able to escape, they didn't care about any array and order at all, all those who stood in front were killed, so the soldiers killed each other, trampled and killed countless people.
"Damn! I see, everything is this trick, and it was the same last time! Li Wei finally saw clearly the person who caused his defeat, and knew that this person was Zhu Jun's eldest son Zhu Fu, and he was immediately furious, and immediately stepped forward to kill Zhu Fu, but he didn't expect Zhu Fu to increase his martial arts at some point, and he insisted on more than 20 times without taking him down, at this time, the Kwantung Coalition Army had already killed the front, and if he didn't escape, his life would stay here, so Li Wei had to give up Zhu Fu and lead the army to leave.
At this moment, only to hear a sharp sound of breaking the air behind him, Li Dao is skilled in bowing horses, as soon as he heard it, he knew that someone was using a strong bow and crossbow to sneak attack him, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly dodged sideways, but he heard a thud, a feather arrow drilled into his shoulder blade, and the severe pain made him can't help but scream, but this is also fortunate that he dodged in time, otherwise this arrow would have killed him directly.
However, Li Dao's shout suddenly made the surrounding soldiers think that he was dead, and they had no intention of fighting, and the last trace of fear of him was gone, and they ran forward even more desperately, so that the entire Chinese army team was completely chaotic.
Li Dao was no longer able to restrain these soldiers at this time, but fortunately, his personal soldiers were loyal enough to him, and they protected him at a critical moment to fight his way out of the bloody road, and finally escaped.
However, Li Dao looked back behind him and saw that his tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang Army had completely become a pot of porridge, the soldiers were dying, dying, and surrendering, although there was still Ma Teng Han Sui's army struggling to resist, but once the Chinese army collapsed, there was basically no hope for this battle, and even if he wanted to gather troops to make a comeback in the future, there was almost no possibility, so he sighed, and it seemed that he was completely out of action at this moment.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered a thought in my heart, since I didn't finish it anyway, then drag the Manchu Dynasty Secretary to finish it together, why not take this opportunity to retreat to Chang'an, take the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials hostage, and use them as hostages in exchange for their own safety? If Pei Qing dared not agree, he would die with them, and then Guan Bao would make Pei Qing fall into a bad name.
So Li Wei ordered that after the army led by Yang Ding, he led the remnants of the army back to Chang'an, preparing to kidnap the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, so another disaster of the Han Dynasty came.
