78, Chang Ge Rulin oblique array line (end)
The Han family is finished!
Li Biao put down this sentence with a cruel smile, turned his horse around, and ordered the soldiers and horses on the right flank to retreat quickly, and then ignored the Ganling army that was pursuing behind him, and also ignored the soldiers and horses of Tian Le, who had already killed Yan Feng and was killing the Zhao family's foot soldiers and horses in front of him, and took his soldiers and horses out of the battlefield and quickly retreated to the rear.
From the defection of the Yan family and the Zhao family to the direct departure of Li Biao's army from the battlefield, these are all things that happened quickly in a short period of time, but the impact of these two events cannot be compared.
If the defection of the Yan family and the Zhao family only caused the hearts of the right-wing families and horses to waver, then Li Biao's order to withdraw the troops led to the rout of the right-wing soldiers and horses.
When the soldiers on the battlefield saw Li Biao turn around and leave the battlefield with most of the right-wing soldiers and horses, the entire Han Sui army was also completely chaotic!
···
"I see Mount Tai collapse ahead!"
When Pei Xuan, who was guarding the side of Yan Xing of the Chinese army, saw that Han Sui's army was quickly defeated on the whole line after the left flank was broken through, and even his own men and horses could not pursue, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion and muttered.
"Wen Hegong's plan to attack the heart has worked."
As a member of the pre-war planning, Zhao Hong also changed his previous skepticism towards Jia Xu at this time, and sincerely admired Jia Xu's insight into the hearts of the people of all parts of the enemy army.
Of course, this also implies his own credit for lobbying Li Piao.
Yan Xing also witnessed the whole process of the collapse of Han Sui's army, and he also sighed in his heart the complexity and changeability of people's hearts.
But with the change of the battle situation, with the surprise attack of the surprise soldiers, this strategy instantly exerted great power, from the collapse of the left flank, to the escape of the right flank, this series of chain effects, dizzying, earth-shaking reversal of the tide of the war, almost in an instant destroyed Han Sui's army.
The two armies fight each other, and it is the hearts of the people who fight; It is also the hearts of the people who keep it.
Yan Xing, who had previously needed to tense his nerves and maintain the front with all his might, also relaxed a little at this moment, although his close-fitting clothes were already wet with sweat, he still unconsciously showed a pleasant smile.
"Han Sui's army was defeated on all fronts, and Wen Yuan in the city should also chase the north and take down the camp of Han Sui's army at this time."
···
"Lord, the general trend has gone, please abandon the car and get on the horse quickly, while the enemy army is not yet surrounded, I will escort you out desperately!"
Cheng Gongying, who was scarlet on his clothes, fled back with the remaining soldiers and horses, and there were too many Hedong soldiers and horses who broke through the left flank, and the three thousand soldiers and horses brought by Cheng Gongying were like mantis arms as a car, which did nothing to save the defeat, and they were drowned in the frenzy of Hedong soldiers and horses in an instant.
Cheng Gongying was hit by a stray arrow, fell off his horse, and was desperately rescued by his own soldiers in the chaos.
Before he rushed back, the right-wing men and horses had all been defeated, and most of the soldiers and horses were dragged out of the battlefield by Li Piao, and directly abandoned Han Sui's Chinese army, which was still fighting bloodily on the battlefield.
Tian Le, who also couldn't save the defeat of the right wing, also abandoned the fleeing Zhao family and rushed back to the Chinese army in a hurry.
And Han Chang, who was the first to flee, had already fled back, and at this time, his face was pale and he was standing on the side of the chariot commanded by Han Sui, with his head down, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Han Sui, who couldn't believe that he would be defeated so quickly, looked at the battlefield with a sluggish gaze, from the left flank to the right flank, countless of his own men and horses were desperately fleeing, and behind them were the Hedong soldiers and horses who were like rainbows and bravely pursued.
The left-wing Qianghu tribes scattered and fled, like a splash of water, and then shattered into countless strands of routs after being wrapped in chaos, trampling on each other and smashing their corpses, desperately fleeing to the rear.
The families and horses on the right flank were relatively orderly, and as Li Biao gave the order and took the lead in leading the troops to withdraw from the battlefield, other families and horses also followed Li Biao to turn around and withdraw to the rear.
Most of their troops are composed of the children of the clan, even if they retreat, they will not easily abandon their troops, coupled with Li Biao's clear direction of retreat and effective command, he has always maintained the formation and retreated, and the pursuing Hedong army cannot quickly defeat them, compared with the Qianghu tribe that tramples on each other, it is simply a cloud and mud.
Now, the Chinese army, which had lost its two wings and had its arms cut off, was in an increasingly difficult situation, and the withdrawn Chinese soldiers and horses soon engaged the Hedong soldiers and horses who broke through the left flank, but their strength was exhausted, and the Chinese army could only resist hard, but they could not repel Duan Xuan, while more Hedong cavalry continued to detour and prepare to launch a fatal attack on Han Sui's Chinese army from behind.
As for the former rejection led by Yang Kui and Jiang Shi's second generals, like the Han family's troops who could not be withdrawn, they were completely caught in the siege of Hedong's soldiers and horses, and their life and death were unknown, and all ties had been severed.
Han Sui looked around at everything on the battlefield, especially when he saw the slowly retreating banner in Li Yu's army's formation, his chest ached, he couldn't hold back his throat, and bright red blood still overflowed from his mouth.
This scene is so similar to the Battle of Chencang that year.
At that time, he was in the right-wing army formation that was slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, scolding Fang Xuan and repelling the pursuit of the Han soldiers in a row.
Li Piao, on the other hand, was a stunned young military officer, blindly following Han Sui's banner and retreating, while looking worriedly in the direction of the Chinese army and the left wing men and horses who were still trapped in the battlefield.
There is the nominal commander of the coalition who is struggling to support him, and there is his own sworn brother who is fighting alone.
After that battle, all the pride and extraordinaryness of the past were thrown away in Chen Cang with the mountains of corpses.
So Li Biao, who was arrogant and shared life and death, also died on the battlefield of Chencang, and only Li Biao, who was in danger of the people's hearts and operated step by step, survived, and climbed to the high position step by step, and lived to become the "Han Sui" who now abandoned the commander to protect the car and led the army out of the battlefield in advance.
Seeing that Han Sui's face was like gold paper and vomiting blood, Cheng Gongying, Tian Le and others hurriedly helped Han Sui out of the chariot, carried it on the war horse together, and then gave up the troops that were still trapped in the siege of the Hedong Army and could not be withdrawn, and hurriedly turned around and fled to the rear with the remaining soldiers and horses.
···
After a great battle, the stumps and arms were broken, the corpses were in disarray, and the captured armor and equipment and golden drum banners were piled up.
From early morning to afternoon, the west slanting sun hit the gradually silent battlefield, painting a layer of desolate and hazy golden light for it, and the men and horses cleaning the battlefield in Hedong walked on this battlefield, looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies entangled with each other, without cheering and ecstasy, it was deserted.
A little jackdaw also followed the golden light and landed on this battlefield that stretched for miles, up and down, looking for it.
This is the battlefield of the battle, the battle has ended, and the battlefield of chasing the dead and chasing the north is still unfolding, from here to Meiyang, then to Chencang, and finally to Wangxian, it is a battlefield of chasing the dead and chasing the north.
As the battle on the battlefield came to an end, the achievements of the various departments were also gathered on Yan Xing's hands:
Dian Wei killed the enemy general Jiang Shi, and Yang Kui led the remnants of more than 1,000 people to surrender.
Yan Xingbu broke through the enemy formation, killed thousands of prisoners, and captured the banner of Han Sui's Chinese army.
Duan Xuanbu captured 12 large and small Qianghu adults, and more than 5,000 Qianghu soldiers.
Yang Feng's army intercepted and killed the fleeing Han Suizhong army and captured thousands of men and horses.
Bao Chu killed Tian Le, and Pang De shot Han Chang.
The Ganling army pursued Li Biao's soldiers and horses and captured more than 1,000 people.
Zhang Liao's first division pursued the rout army and captured the camp of Han Sui's army.
······
The captives have been taken in, and the number of beheadings of each department needs to be examined, counted, and distributed, and the captured soldiers and armor, equipment and livestock are also innumerable, and the number of casualties on their own side in the battle has been reported to be several thousand, and the subsequent casualties are not expected to exceed 10,000.
This is a big victory, the only regret is that Han Sui himself had broken out of the encirclement before the army was encircled, and did not return to the direction of the camp, and Yang Feng's roundabout cavalry only intercepted most of the Han family's troops, so there were still some Han family horses successfully escaped from the battlefield.
This was a common phenomenon on the battlefield, and although Han Sui was not caught, it could not stop the warm atmosphere of congratulations from Yan Xing's civil and military forces to him.
After this battle, the land of Sanfu completely fell into the hands of Yan Xing, and Han Sui, the largest force in Longyou, was also greatly injured and could no longer pose a threat to Sanfu in the west, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
And Yan Xing, who has the country of abundance, can also do more things next.
In the midst of the celebrations, there was only one person who was independent and out of place, that is, Ma Chao, who acted as a proton and was left under Yan Xing's command, as a Zhonglang general, but who did not have a little military power.
In the battle of Huaili, the conceited and brave Ma Chao became a spectator in the whole process, and even Pang De, who was only a lieutenant colonel of the Ma Teng Army in the past, was able to lead the troops to fight, first defeated the Qianghu warriors who challenged in front of the formation, and then shot Han Chang in a sudden formation, and made a series of outstanding achievements, but he Ma Mengqi could only stay here, mixing with these flattering mediocrities, looking at their servile faces, it was really disgusting.
But Ma Chao looks down on others, and others also look down on Ma Chao, who is a proton but is arrogant.
So when Ma Chao heard Han Sui fleeing, his spirit was shocked, and he shouted loudly, "I am willing to drive a thousand Xiliang cavalry to the west, block Longguan, intercept and kill Han Sui, and sacrifice his head in front of the general", but in exchange for the ridicule and contempt of others around him.
Ma Chao turned a blind eye to these people, and his eyes looked directly at Yan Xing.
Han Sui was defeated and left, and he must take Longguan Road. If there is a light cavalry that drives straight in and rushes ahead of the defeated army, then it will definitely be able to intercept and kill Han Sui.
But among the generals under Yan Xing's command, which one is more familiar with the terrain of Longyou than himself, and who is as brave and good at fighting as himself?
