Chapter 178: Battle (Part II)
Naturally, the Huainan Army was not really unable to attack any longer, but it was enough to confuse Tian Yan by this time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the next feint also needs to save physical strength to "escape", otherwise before escaping to the ambush point, the Xuanzhou army will catch up, then this feint may become a real rout.
Seeing that Wu Yongdu on the opposite side was finally dispatched, Yang Wu immediately ordered all departments to carry out operations according to the original plan.
First of all, Qin Pei and Li Decheng, who had been outflanked by the two wings before, each led their subordinates to continue to retreat, keeping the defense line level with Mi Zhicheng and Taimeng in the middle to avoid being surrounded by enemy troops. Then, after Liu Ding's troops were entangled, the Huainan army of all departments fought and retreated, making it look like they did not want to continue to entangle with the Xuanzhou army.
Seeing the Huainan army retreating again and again under his own attack, Liu Ding's heart became more and more excited. At this moment, he felt as if he had become a famous general in the world, and he became more and more handy when commanding the army to attack, and even had a feeling that generals such as Li Shenfu, Tai Meng, and Yang Wu were just like this.
And the old and weak under Liu Ding's command also seemed to be beaten with chicken blood at this time, and they were extremely brave in their killing, as if they had turned into real elites, as if they could break through the enemy's defense line as long as they worked a little harder.
"General, General Xu and General Xu sent a small one to give you an order, asking you to get out of the way and not block the route of their attack." Just when Liu Ding was happy in his heart and wanted to break through the defense line of the Huainan army on the opposite side in one go, a messenger hurriedly ran and said.
Although Liu Ding was promoted to be a commander by Tian Yan, he was far inferior to Xu Zaisi and Xu Juan in terms of qualifications and positions, so both of them had the tone of an order.
"You go back and tell the two generals that the general's command is enough to break through the enemy's defense, and let the two generals outflank them from both sides." Liu Ding was a little unhappy in his heart, at this time he was in high spirits, where could he stand the arrogance of Xu and Xu.
"General, with all due respect, the defense line of the Huainan Army on the opposite side is composed of elite soldiers, not the old and weak under the general's command can break through, the general's defense is okay, but to break through the enemy's defense line, it depends on our martial arts!" The messenger spoke in a high-minded tone, and his tone was cold, as if he were stating a fact.
Liu Ding was furious in his heart, and he was about to get angry, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Ben will get out of the way, but I want to see if Wu Yongdu's ability is as powerful as his mouth." He immediately ordered his men to get out of the way.
Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi's fighting style is completely different from Liu Ding's, most of the regular armies in the southern feudal towns of this era pay more attention to battle formations, and soldiers often act together according to battalions, such soldiers are often more resilient when they fight, and can make soldiers who are not very brave play a strong combat effectiveness.
But compared with the soldiers of other departments, these soldiers of Wuyongdu are the old department of Sun Ru's Caizhou Army, most of them are the masters who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they rarely care about their own life and death when they fight, and they also rarely care about what formation, what they pay attention to is a ruthlessness and ferocity, so they are the best at charging on the battlefield, and Tian Yu let them take on the task of breaking the formation is the most suitable.
At this time, when the soldiers of Wuyongdu crossed the road left by Liu Dingbu, they immediately roared and rushed towards the Huainan army on the opposite side, not even paying attention to the formation, but the momentum was very strong.
"Rush up and kill them......" Xu Zaisi shouted angrily.
"Kill, kill them......"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed into the formation of the Huainan army and started a bloody battle.
The soldiers of the Huainan Army on the opposite side seemed to be overwhelmed by the momentum of the soldiers of Wuyongdu, and they were beaten into chaos by their fierce fighting style of fighting without fear of death, and they retreated again and again.
In the middle lane, Mi Zhicheng yelled again and again, seemingly trying his best to maintain the formation and prevent his subordinates from retreating; On the right flank, Qin Pei changed his previous brave style, and was trying his best to defend in the face of the impact of Wu Yongdu; On the left flank, Li Decheng's troops resisted even more in the attack of the soldiers of Wuyongdu, looking like they might collapse at any time.
"This ......"
Behind, Liu Ding, who was still thinking about watching Xu Xuan's jokes just now, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Could it be that these Caizhou thieves are really so powerful in fighting? Ben Jiang has just failed to make a breakthrough in many attacks, and the people of Wu Yongdu are about to succeed in such a rush? Well, it must be the end of the strong crossbow after the onslaught of the Huainan Army before the general, it must be so! ”
Liu Ding secretly comforted himself, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers who had not had time to retreat to rest and recuperate from both flanks, wanting to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
"Keep attacking, keep attacking......" Tian Yan danced with his hands, looking very excited.
He didn't expect that the soldiers of Wu Yongdu would launch an attack with such a good effect, and the enemy army was beaten into a mess just after contact, and if he worked harder, wouldn't he be able to break through the enemy's defense line?
"Sun Ru was rampant in Jianghuai back then, and he would have been miserable, but he didn't expect that after so many years, his old department was still so sharp. It seems that the two generals were treated favorably, but they did the right thing! ”
It didn't take long to see that the battlefield suddenly became chaotic, and the defense line of the Huainan Army seemed to have been completely broken, from Li Decheng's left flank, to the middle led by Mi Zhicheng and Tai Meng, and then to Qin Pei's right flank, all of them fell into chaos, and a large number of soldiers turned around and fled.
Then more soldiers joined the fled, and the officers seemed to be still screaming and maintaining their positions, but the fleeing soldiers had completely lost their courage, and there was no one left to continue to resist.
"Rush forward and kill all the Huainan thieves on the opposite side......" Xu Juan scolded loudly.
At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the soldiers of Wuyongdu, those soldiers who had gone crazy were not afraid of death to launch an attack, but the Huainan army was completely collapsed by them, whether it was Li Decheng and Qin Pei on the two wings, or Mi Zhicheng and Taimeng in the middle of the road, they all seemed to have given up resistance and led their subordinates to join the ranks of escape.
"Pursuit, full pursuit. Don't let the enemy go! At this time, Tian Yan's heart was completely filled with excitement, and he only wanted to take advantage of the situation to defeat Yang Wu in one fell swoop and return the shame of the last defeat to him.
Without waiting for Tian Yan's order to arrive, Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi, who were in charge of the command in the front, had already ordered a pursuit, and more than 8,000 Wuyong soldiers chased after the Huainan army as if they were crazy, as if they would not give up until the enemy army was completely destroyed.
"Chen Fan, after you lead your troops to stay here and break off, you must delay the attack speed of Wu Yongdu and buy time for our army to retreat!" Looking at the momentum of the soldiers of Wu Yongdu, Yang Wu couldn't help but be a little worried. Although he wanted to lure the enemy with a trick, he didn't expect that the soldiers of Wu Yongdu would charge so fiercely, and Qin Pei and the others would even find it a little difficult to get rid of their pursuit.
"The last general will obey the order and will complete the task assigned by the prince!" Chen Fan said with a resolute face.
