Chapter 160: The Whole Army Attacks (Part II)

And in the rear of the Huainan Army, seeing the other party's reserve army dispatched, Yang Wu knew that it was time to decide the outcome next. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, seeing the other party's arrangement, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel strange.

It is understandable to send a thousand people to stabilize the situation in Qin Pei's place, but the other party sent three thousand people to the middle lane, in his opinion, it is meaningless for Tian Yan to reinforce the middle lane, it is difficult to make a breakthrough quickly in the middle lane, and at that time he had already sent the reserves.

He noticed that the enemy reinforcements were deflecting to the left flank Li Decheng intentionally or unintentionally when they were moving towards the middle road, and he suddenly came to his senses.

"Chen Fan, Fan Sicong, you lead your troops to reinforce the left flank, and be sure to help General Li Decheng stabilize there." Yang Wu immediately gave an order. Although the other party sent 3,000 reinforcements, if Yang Wu only took a defensive position, it would be almost enough to send Chen Fan and the others.

"Zhu Siqing, you lead the remaining 3,000 people to quickly go to General Qin Pei and destroy the enemy's right flank with General Qin!" Yang Wu's choice is still to hold the left flank and break through from the right flank.

At this time in the battle, the hole cards of both sides have been played, and the next thing is to see whether Qin Pei makes a breakthrough first or Li Decheng is defeated by the other party first. As for the cavalry, Tian Yan's cavalry did not dispatch at this time, and Yang Wu naturally did not dispatch either.

Over time, the sun gradually shifted westward.

After such a long battle, both sides were already very tired at this time, but Yang Wu and Tian Yan had no intention of retreating and resting. Today's two sides are like two bulls wrestling with each other, and whoever dares to take half a step back may be taken advantage of by the other party, resulting in a big defeat.

However, after a period of stalemate at the beginning, the successive pre-war strategies gradually showed their effect at this time, and the Xuanzhou army, which had lower morale, had completely fallen into decline by this time.

On Li Decheng's left flank, the reinforced Xuanzhou army launched a fierce attack, but when the reinforcements from the Huainan side also arrived, they lost the opportunity to quickly defeat the opponent, and they couldn't help but become more anxious. And their general Liu Zong also lost patience more and more, and every time he attacked, he didn't even adjust the formation, but launched an attack with the courage of blood and blood, and those soldiers who had been fighting for a long time did not get a rest, and they became more and more tired after the battle, and Li Decheng's troops could not shake the strict formation at all.

In the middle road, the strength of both sides is about the same, and neither has received reinforcements, but with Mi Zhicheng's strength, the Huainan army in the middle has completely gained the upper hand at this time, but this is also the focus of the wrestling between the two sides, plus Arida Yan personally supervised the battle, but it can still be supported, and it will take a long time for Huainan to break through the middle of the enemy army in one fell swoop.

It was Qin Pei's right flank that really changed the situation of the battle completely, and they had the upper hand and beat the opposite Xuanzhou army to an unspeakable point. Later, after being further enhanced by Zhu Siqing, the strength was completely overwhelming the Xuanzhou army, they lined up in formation to launch a tidal attack, plus Zhu Siqing was calm, dispatching troops on the side, replacing the tired battalions with rest, replacing them with soldiers with full physical strength, constantly looking for the weak links of the enemy, and under the repeated impact, the enemy's formation has become more and more incomplete.

Finally, another hour passed, when the sun was about to set, Qin Pei broke through the left flank of the enemy army in one fell swoop, and the frightened soldiers of the Xuanzhou Army scattered and fled.

After defeating the enemy's left flank, Qin Pei immediately led his troops to attack the middle road, and together with Tai Meng and Mi Zhicheng, he flanked Tian Yan's main formation.

In the rear, seeing that Qin Pei had finally defeated the enemy's left flank, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Hou Zhan's cavalry to be on guard, and slowly advanced forward in case Tian Zhan's cavalry was dispatched at a critical moment.

However, after seeing that his left flank was defeated, Tian Yan naturally knew that this battle had been completely lost, and he didn't dare to press the cavalry again, otherwise there was a possibility that the whole army would be annihilated, and he didn't even know if he could escape.

Since the battle situation was irreparable, Tian Yan began to try to reduce losses, he transferred some troops from the right flank, and also some troops from the middle lane, wanting to intercept the attack of Qin Pei and Zhu Siqing, and let the central front begin to retreat, so as not to fall into the enemy encirclement and be attacked from both sides.

However, Tian Yan didn't expect that when he ordered the middle lane to retreat slowly, his original intention was only to make adjustments so that he could continue to deal with the Huainan army. By this time the sun had already set, and if they held on a little longer, it would be dark, and they would be able to escape in the night.

But who knew that as his order was given, the retreating middle army gradually became chaotic, at first only a few battalions were in confusion, some soldiers began to flee, and then a group of people, driven by fear, began to flee, and by this time, no one could restrain them, and even those officers felt that the general situation had gone, and began to seek a way out for their lives.

As a result, the chaos spread irrepressibly to the entire middle lane, some of whom still wanted to rush forward, those who were already afraid and wanted to escape, and those who had lost the will to resist and just wanted to curse loudly.

Seeing the chaos of the enemy army, Tai Meng was naturally not polite, and he immediately ordered the whole army to press up, preparing to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.

Defeat is like a mountain!

By this time, this battle had completely fallen to the Huainan side, and Tian Yan knew that no one who came in this situation would be powerless.

"Run!"

Tian Yan immediately took the cavalry that was still intact and fled the battlefield before the army was completely defeated. Seeing this scene, Yang Wu no longer hesitated, and ordered Hou Zhan's cavalry to attack immediately and pursue the rout.

With Tian Yan's escape, this battle also completely lost its suspense. A large number of Xuanzhou troops began to disarm and surrender, but some generals fled with their subordinates, and the collapse of tens of thousands of troops could not wipe them all out in the absence of cavalry.

……

The sky was getting dark, and torches had been lit in front of the battle.

The sound of fighting on the battlefield has fallen silent, after a dramatic battle, the soldiers of the Huainan Army finally won a big victory, but they were also exhausted, and it was dark, Yang Wu ordered the troops to be collected, only to let the cavalry of Zhu Siqing and Hou Zhan, who were finally put into the battlefield, continue to chase and defeat the soldiers.

Today's battle is completely a tough battle, although the Xuanzhou army has suffered heavy casualties, but the Huainan army must have suffered a lot of casualties, but fortunately, it can win in the end, all this is worth it.

What's more, the forces that have rebelled since ancient times must achieve an overwhelming advantage in the early stage if they want to succeed, and Tian Yan and their successive defeats since the rebellion, coupled with the recent defeat in the decisive battle, it can be said that Tian Yan's strength has been exhausted, and defeat is inevitable.

Coupled with Yang Xingmi's edict read by Yang Wu before the war, the news that "as long as you surrender, you will not be blamed for the past" will definitely spread, and many of Tian Yan's subordinates will definitely choose to surrender when they see the bad situation.
