Just as Kou Yanqing was anxiously inquiring about the situation on the right flank, the cavalry led by Hou Zan himself had already made a detour to the rear of the Shu army.

The entire coalition camp front stretched out for several miles, and after the Wu army engaged them, the frontal battlefield had long been occupied by infantry, and the cavalry had no chance of passing, so they could only choose to outflank from the flank.

Fortunately, at the beginning, Yang Wu arranged the cavalry on the left flank, led by Chai Kehong, and only Hou Zan followed Yang Wu to listen to orders at any time.

So after receiving the order, Hou Zan quickly rushed to meet Chai Kehong, and then launched an operation.

The speed of the cavalry was astonishing, especially at this critical time, and although they did not increase the speed of their horses to the fastest, they were much faster than normal.

It didn't take long for them to successfully bypass the flank of the Shu army.

Such a powerful cavalry suddenly came out, which naturally aroused great concern and vigilance of the Shu army.

Wang Zongshou immediately asked the three thousand men who remained with him to prepare in case the cavalry made a surprise attack on him; At the same time, he sent someone to give Wei Qun an order, asking him to lead the army to quickly return to help.

However, it was only then that he realized that the forces around him were a little weak, and it was obviously too late.

Before Wei Qun could send troops back to help, Hou Zan and the others had already launched their final sprint.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps......

Soon, the 3,000 cavalry had already rushed to the front of the 3,000 Shu army that remained behind.

"Boom!"

The impact of the crazy cavalry is not at all blocked by flesh and blood, and in the sound of horses' hooves that resounded through the world, there was a loud bang, and the galloping cavalry slammed into the Shu infantry array.

Almost instantly, the Shu army was overturned on their backs, and the unlucky Shu soldiers were hit by the galloping horses and flew directly into the sky; There were even more unlucky ones, who were knocked directly to the ground, and then run over by the horses galloping from behind, and suddenly the flesh and blood were blurred.

……

Although these three thousand Shu troops were ordered to come to block the Wu army, after all, the order was sudden, and they acted in a hurry, and they were not prepared at all at this time.

What's more, even if they were ready, they would be quickly crushed under the fierce impact of Hou Zhan's 3,000 cavalry, regardless of casualties.

Seeing the tragic situation of those Shu troops, Wang Zongshou's face suddenly turned pale, and he realized in his heart that it was not good.

"Your Highness, hurry up! If you don't withdraw, it's too late! The guards around him hurriedly persuaded him.

At this time, in addition to dozens of cavalry guards around Wang Zongshou, there were only thousands of injuries left behind, how could he stop the enemy army?

So after listening to the persuasion of the guards, Wang Zongshou nodded without thinking about it: "Okay, let's go quickly!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and prepared to flee for his life.

"You go and tell Wei Qun that there are as many troops as you can keep, and let him be careful! This king will be waiting for him in Xiazhou City! A panicked voice came from afar.

The generals who were originally following Wang Zongshou looked at each other one by one, obviously they didn't expect Wang Zongshou to flee like this, and they didn't even explain a few words to their generals.

However, the generals did not have the heart to complain about anything, because they had to flee for their lives next.

"You, immediately go and tell General Wei and General Zhao, let them lead the troops well, and try to withdraw as many troops as possible! If you can't do anything, then retreat! A general commanded, pointing to a herald.

"Yes, the little ones are going!" The herald, though pale and visibly flustered, calmly responded.

After the heralds rushed away, the generals no longer hesitated, and all of them fled for their lives under the protection of the guards.

Compared to those ordinary soldiers, these generals and their guards still have horses to ride, and if they run for their lives regardless of their horsepower, there should still be hope of escaping.

At this time, even Wang Zongshou fled, and naturally these generals would not stay and die.

Although Hou Zan was leading the cavalry to charge into battle, he was always paying attention to the movements of Wang Zongshou and others in the distance, and at this time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Wang Zongshou throw down the army and flee for his life alone.

The victory is decided!

He shouted at the Shu army who were still trying to resist: "Wang Zongshou has fled, what are you still doing here?" ”

The soldiers who followed him also reacted and shouted: "Wang Zongshou has fled, why are you still staying here?" ”

Wang Zongshou escaped!

The news soon spread throughout the Shu army, and the Shu army, which was already panicked, immediately fell into collapse at this time, and the soldiers fled for their lives, and the army had no heart to fight.

The victory of the Wu army was finally set at this moment.

After defeating the 3,000 Shu troops left behind, Hou Zan immediately divided his troops into 500 cavalry to pursue the fleeing Wang Zongshou and other Shu army generals.

As for the remaining cavalry, Hou Zan did not hesitate to lead them to attack from the rear of the Shu army.

The greatest advantage of the cavalry is mobility, and the speed at which they gallop is far beyond the intrituries.

Therefore, Hou Zan led the cavalry to a gust of wind, specifically looking for the weak points of the Shu army to attack.

At the same time, he did not forget to spread the news that "Wang Zongshou has fled" throughout the Shu army.

Wang Zongshou, as the commander of the Shu army, left the army behind and fled first, and this news immediately caused an avalanche-like effect among the Shu army.

Crash, complete collapse!

At this moment, the Shu army completely lost its fighting spirit, and no matter how Wei Qun, Zhao Ben and other generals ordered, no one was willing to launch an attack on the Wu army.

All they were thinking about at this time was how to escape from the battlefield and how to save their lives!

……

When the Shu army on the right began to collapse, Kou Yanqing and others on the left wing were also facing a difficult choice.

At this time, they have basically figured out the situation on the Shu army's side.

From the beginning, the focus of the Wu offensive was on the Shu army, not their Liang and Jingnan armies.

From the outset, the coalition response was wrong.

Using the wrong strategy to resist the attack of the Wu army, it is strange that they are undefeated.

At this time, Liang Jun was faced with three choices.

The first option was to flee the battlefield immediately while the main force of the Liang army was still there, at this time the cavalry of the Wu army was on the right flank against the Shu army, and if the Liang army withdrew now, they would still have a chance to escape safely.

However, in that case, it would mean that the battle would be completely defeated, Jiangling would also fall into the hands of the Wu army, and it was unknown whether the Liang army would be able to escape the pursuit in the end.

And the second option is to divide troops to support the Shu army to help the Shu army stabilize the situation.

However, the battle line of the two armies stretched for several miles, and unless it was cavalry, it would be difficult to transfer to support the Shu army if it was infantry alone, because it was too late in time.

Maybe the Shu army had been routed before the Liang army moved over, and even if they got there, it would be useless, but they would trap themselves in it.

The third option was to immediately attack the right flank of the Wu army.

Since the Wu army placed the main force on the left flank, then their right flank would inevitably be empty.

If the Liang army can break through the enemy's right flank here, it may be able to save the situation.

But how easy is it to break through the enemy's right flank?

Even if the Wu army concentrated its forces to attack the Shu army, they would inevitably leave enough troops to defend the right flank.

And at this time, when the left wing is about to successfully defeat the Shu army, the Wu army on the right wing will inevitably be demoralized and resist to the death, and it is almost impossible for the Liang army to defeat the opponent in a short time.

In addition, although the Wu army took the initiative to disengage from the Liang army before, it did not completely withdraw to the slopes of the main formation, but chose to stay in the center of the two armies, and put on a defensive posture to protect the flank of the battlefield on the left flank.

So even if the Liang army wants to break through from this side, it will face the interception of the Wu army.

In short, Wu Jun left almost no loopholes, and even if there were, it was difficult for Liang Jun to take advantage of them.

For example, Yang Wu was only guarded by three thousand Yulin troops at this time, and if the Liang army took the opportunity to send troops to attack, he might be able to turn defeat into victory.

However, the Liang army did not have cavalry, and if it was to attack with infantry, it would be similar to suicide.

Moreover, it was impossible for Qin Pei on the right flank of the Wu army to give them a chance to bypass the junction between the left and right flanks, and they would inevitably launch an interception.

Without cavalry, there is a lack of mobility.

At least at this time, Liang Jun can hardly do anything.

Each of the three options faces huge challenges and has great flaws, making it difficult for Kou Yanqing and others to make a choice.

After hesitating for a long time, before Kou Yanqing could make a decision, he heard discussions everywhere in the army: "The Shu army has been defeated!" ”

Kou Yanqing was shocked, what? Could it be that the Shu army has really been defeated?

He hurriedly asked Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu didn't know the situation at this time, and it was a long time before someone came to report that Wang Zongshou had fled, and the Shu army had fallen into chaos and was about to collapse!

Kou Yanqing's heart suddenly became cold, even Wang Zongshou had fled, and even the Shu army had collapsed, what was the use of the Liang army staying?

And at this time, the news of the defeat of the Shu army has already spread, I am afraid that the morale of the Liang army will also be greatly affected, and the army has no fighting spirit, even if it continues to stay here, it will be waiting for death.

"From the very beginning, when we misanticipated the enemy's intentions, we lost this battle!" At this time, Kou Yanqing finally came to his senses.

"Order, withdraw the troops!"
