After the 5,000 men of the vanguard of the allied army landed on the shore, they were immediately attacked by the 3,000 Huainan army, and they immediately fell into a great chaos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The tidal flats by the river were originally relatively soft sand, and it was difficult for people to stand firm on them, and at this time the coalition forces were in chaos, and many soldiers were pushed to the ground in panic and crowding with each other, trampling on each other, and suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and screams were heard everywhere.

According to Wei Quanyi's deployment, the armies of Jizhou and Yuanzhou were arranged by him on the left and right flanks, while the main force of 30,000 people left in the middle was the army of Fuzhou and part of the Xinzhou army. These troops were either directly subordinate to Wei Quanqi or his younger brother's subordinates, so the implementation of Wei Quanxi's military orders was relatively thorough.

While the troops crossing the river in front had been confused and began to trample on each other, the troops in the rear were still trying to cross the river to attack the Huainan army.

"Big brother, the momentum ahead is a little bad! The enemy's resistance was very fierce, and our troops suffered heavy losses, and they could not land at all! The first soldier to land on the shore was the army of Shinshu, and Wei Zichang saw that his subordinates had suffered heavy losses, so he hurriedly reminded him loudly.

"What's wrong? How can it be so easy to break through the enemy's defenses? If you succeed in breaking through without any losses, the old man still has to worry about whether the enemy army is cheating! This loss is nothing at all, continue to cross the river! Wei Quansari ignored it and continued to urge the army to cross the river.

Seeing that his eldest brother insisted on attacking, although Wei Zichang was a little distressed about the losses of his subordinates, he could only continue to rush forward at such a time.

It's a pity that although Wei Quanyi felt that this loss was nothing, he forgot that the bearing capacity of the Shinshu army was not as high as he thought.

When the five thousand men of the front were killed in chaos by the Huainan Army's ten thousand arrows, Mi Zhicheng naturally did not miss this opportunity, and immediately led the three thousand men under him to start charging.

As soon as the recuperated Huainan Army rushed into the coalition formation, it smashed the coalition army into pieces and collapsed.

The chaotic coalition forces did not dare to stay any longer, so they turned and fled into the river, trying to cross the river back to the south bank.

However, a large number of Allied soldiers were crossing the river at this time, and these soldiers who fled into the river at this time brought chaos and panic to the other soldiers, making the situation even more chaotic; Second, Mi Zhicheng would not let go of the enemy army, he led the army to launch a fierce attack behind the enemy army, driving the defeated enemy army to attack the enemy position.

Seeing that Mi Zhicheng's front army had broken the enemy in one fell swoop, Zhou Ben immediately decided to put the Chinese army and the rear army into battle.

"Li Decheng, you immediately led the rear army to cross the river by detour, preparing to cut off the enemy's retreat, and the general should personally lead the Chinese army and the front army to drive away the enemy's rout! In today's battle, we must establish full merit and eliminate all dangers! ”

At this time, Zhou Ben no longer cared about the enemy troops on the left and right flanks, and even when the scouts reported to him that the enemy troops on the two flanks had crossed the river and rushed towards them, he did not care at all, and continued to resolutely implement the offensive strategy set before.

"It will take at least half an hour for the two wings of the enemy to cross the river and attack here, and by that time the general has already defeated the enemy's Chinese army, and if the enemy army on both wings has not been defeated, it will only come to die!"

Zhou Ben's style of play is a bit extreme, it is completely offensive, and he doesn't think about defense at all; He was originally a fierce general, and he often took the lead as a pioneer when he was fighting, and after the war, he often had wounds all over his body, but he talked and laughed freely and directly used the iron to burn the wounds.

And this time, he took the offensive strategy to the extreme, and threw all his forces into the onslaught of the enemy army at the beginning.

In the face of this offensive, the coalition forces with low morale and lack of training were simply unable to resist, and at first it was only the rout of the front army, and then the rout quickly spread to the entire Chinese army, and no matter how dangerous the whole army shouted and stopped it, it could not change the collapse of the whole army.

Soon, the 3,000 Huainan Army led by Li Decheng successfully crossed the river and went around behind the coalition forces to attack.

Under the front and rear attacks of the Huainan Army, the coalition army that could not support it suddenly collapsed completely, and nearly 30,000 troops fled one after another, but at this time, the left and right flanks of the coalition army were still five or six miles away from the battlefield!

"Big brother, the army has been defeated, big brother hurry up! If you don't escape, you won't be able to escape! Wei Zichang shouted loudly to Wei Quan, but he turned around and fled under the protection of the guards.

At this time, Wei Zichang couldn't take care of his brother anymore, so he could only run away quickly.

Wei Quanyan also knew this truth, so when Wei Zichang began to escape, he also tried to escape under the protection of the guards.

However, his luck was obviously not good, when he was about to break through to the south under the protection of dozens of guards, he crashed into the encirclement of the Huainan army in a panic, and as a result, the old and difficult to walk Wei Quanyan became a prisoner of the Huainan army.

The capture of Wei Quanyi made the defeated coalition army lose its fighting spirit even more, and the coalition forces that originally tried to outflank from the left and right flanks were suddenly scattered after the main force had been defeated and Wei Quanyi was also captured by Huainan.

Except for some of the 30,000 people in these two divisions of Wei Zichang's Xinzhou army, most of the rest are the armies of Jizhou and Yuanzhou, and they are not of the same mind as Wei Quanxi, so they naturally will not continue to stay and fight with the Huainan army at this time.

Seeing that the enemy troops on both flanks began to flee, Zhou Ben was unwilling to let them go, he ordered Li Decheng to continue to pursue the defeated enemy army in the middle, and he and Mi Zhicheng immediately turned to pursue the enemy troops on both flanks.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, and when the exhausted Huainan army regrouped, everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

Today's battle began before sunrise, but the actual head-on battle with the enemy lasted less than an hour, and then a one-sided pursuit.

Unfortunately, the vicinity was densely wooded, the mountain roads were rugged, and the Huainan army was not familiar with the terrain, so most of the enemy troops who finally broke up fled, and only more than 7,000 people were captured by the Huainan army; As for the number of coalition soldiers killed and wounded, the same number is almost the same.

Of course, the enemy troops who escaped had no time to reorganize their formations under the continuous pursuit of the Huainan army, and as a result, they became more and more scattered, and the morale of those routs completely collapsed, and everyone was panicked; In addition, many generals who are pampered in peacetime have been captured, especially the commander of the coalition forces, who has been captured, and the rout of the enemy army who want to escape will not be able to become a climate after losing the command of the generals.

At this point, the battle of Ivory Pond ended in only half a day with a complete victory for the Huainan army.

The sun was sinking, the battlefield was silent, and only the water of the Ivory Pool flowed slowly in the afterglow of the setting sun, making a little sound of running water.

In the large camp of the Huainan Army, the generals congratulated each other on today's victory with smiles on their faces.

Although the Huainan army has achieved a lot of victories over the years, but there are very few complete victories like today, especially the victory in today's battle is of great significance, now the main force of the coalition army has been defeated, and even the danger has been captured, if Huainan takes advantage of the opportunity to attack south, perhaps Fuzhou, Xinzhou, Jizhou, and Yuanzhou will be easily captured.

"Bring the danger to the whole irony!" After celebrating, Zhou Ben ordered.

In this big victory, in addition to capturing more than 7,000 prisoners, he also captured many generals of the coalition army, especially Wei Quanxi, the commander of the coalition army, and if he was captured, Fuzhou would not be difficult to overcome.

It's a pity that Xinzhou Assassin Shi Wei Zaichang took advantage of the chaos to escape, while Yuanzhou Assassin Shi Peng Yanzhang led 3,000 Yuanzhou troops to attack Gao'an with the Chu army; As for Jizhou Thorn Shi Pengji, he did not personally lead the troops to the expedition this time.

"General Zhou, generals, you can't kill the old man! When your King Wuzhong fought with Sun Ru, he was defeated in successive battles, and the old man once sent troops to help him defeat Sun Ru! Now that the kindness of the past has not been repaid, how can you kill me? ”

As soon as he saw Zhou Ben and the others, Wei Quanyan begged loudly for mercy.

At this time, where did he still have half of the majesty that he had been in charge of Fuzhou for 30 years, and he was full of spirit before he sent troops to Hongzhou, and the arrogance of directing the country dissipated, leaving only a face full of panic.

Hearing Wei Quan's sarcastic words, Zhou Ben couldn't help frowning.

In order to fight against Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi did ask for help from Wei Quanxi, and Wei Quanxiao also provided Yang Xingmi with some money and food, and seriously speaking, he was indeed kind to Huainan.

However, in the past few years, the danger has encouraged all states to unite against Huainan, and they have dared to send troops to plot against Hongzhou.

Of course, how to deal with the crisis depends on Yang Wu's decision.

Zhou Ben personally stepped forward to untie the rope bound by Wei Quanyan's body and said: "You don't have to worry, and you can live in my camp for a few days, and wait for the king to fall." However, if the envoy can help our army capture the four prefectures of Fu, Xin, Ji, and Yuan as quickly as possible, presumably the king will pardon the envoy's crimes! ”

"Is that true?" Wei Quan's expression lit up, as if the person who fell into the water saw a straw, and hurriedly prepared to grab it.

"Of course! The king has the world in his heart, if the king can make enough contributions, plus the kindness of the previous king, the king will not embarrass the king! Zhou Benwen persuaded.

Although the main force of the coalition has been defeated, if there is a danger and the whole sarcasm takes the initiative, the operation to seize the southern states will be easier and smoother; As for the danger of Quan, he is just an old man, and it is nothing to spare his life.

After getting Zhou Ben's promise, Wei Quanyan immediately agreed, preparing to help the Huainan army persuade the troops left behind in Fuzhou and other places.

The next day, after a night's rest, the recuperated Huainan army again divided its troops into two routes, one led by Mi Zhicheng and Li Decheng to attack Fuzhou and Xinzhou, and the other was led by Zhou Ben himself, preparing to make a detour to attack the Chu army in Gao'an, so as to cut off the return route of the Chu army.
