Chapter 179: Truncated
"Marshal, the Huainan army seems to have been defeated too quickly, is there any deception in this?" On the side, Shen Wenchang reminded with some worry. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
As a scribe, he didn't know how to lead troops to fight, but it was precisely because he was looking at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, so Shen Wenchang felt more and more that today's battle was going too smoothly, which was too far from the last big defeat and the situation of fewer victories and more defeats in the battle during this time.
"What's the deception? That Yang Wu still grew up with this handsome, didn't he want to call me uncle when he was young? His skills are very clear. Although he has been lucky to win a few battles recently, he is still too young to withstand the praise, and he will come when he praises this arrogance. It is not surprising that there is such a defeat today. Tian Yan said disapprovingly.
"Jie Shuai, maybe Yang Wu is a little underestimated, but the generals under him, such as Tai Meng, Qin Pei, Mi Zhicheng, etc., are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they can't be as light as Yang Wu, right?"
Tian Yan waved his hand and said, "If you don't understand Mr. Shen's war, don't say more." Let's go with Ben Shuai to see how to break the enemy! ”
Shen Wenchang had no choice but to keep silent, thinking in his heart: "I hope I'm thinking too much!" ”
The soldiers of Wuyongdu continued to advance, and the momentum of their attack seemed unstoppable, defeating the Huainan army until it was temporarily blocked by the 3,000 led by Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was promoted to commander for his meritorious service in the last war, and he was told last night that today's task was to break off, so his subordinates did not enter the battle in the morning of the battle, but recuperated and waited for the battle at this time.
"Hold the formation and hold off the enemy!"
Chen Fan roared with exhaustion, Yang Wu had already led his guards to retreat first, and Wu Yongdu's pursuit momentum was too fierce, before Mi Zhicheng and they retreated, some soldiers were surrounded and eliminated by the enemy because they did not retreat in time, and lost at least hundreds of people.
Therefore, if Chen Fan can't slow down the momentum of the enemy's pursuit, maybe there will be a big defeat today. Fortunately, Chen Fan's department was well prepared and successfully blocked the soldiers of Wuyongdu.
Getting this opportunity, Mi Zhicheng, Li Decheng and other troops finally got rid of the pursuit of the enemy army and continued to retreat; Seeing this situation, Chen Fan continued to resist for a while and continued to dwell on it, so he continued to "retreat" and led the people of Wuyongdu to Zhu Siqing's ambush.
"Pursuit, continue to pursue......" On the chaotic battlefield, Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi respectively led thousands of soldiers to pursue at the tail of the tail, and they had the momentum of sweeping the Huainan army in one go.
And when Liu Ding saw that the Huainan Army was completely retreating, he naturally would not give up this fighter, and also urged his subordinates to continue the pursuit.
In this way, the entire battlefield quickly moved in the direction of Zhu Siqing's ambush soldiers, and the first "hasty" retreat was the Huainan Army soldiers, the middle was the Wuyongdu soldiers who were frantically pursuing, and the last was Liu Ding's soldiers.
However, after all, Liu Ding's subordinates are mostly old and weak, and their physical strength is not as good as the elite or Wuyongdu soldiers of the Huainan Army, plus the previous hard battle, the soldiers have long been exhausted, and they can't keep up with the speed of the two fronts, so there is a long gap between them and Wu Yongdu.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think? Now that the enemy army has completely retreated, as long as our army continues to pursue and kill, and does not give them a chance to stop and rest, we will win today's battle! Tian Yan smiled, urging the horses to lead the guards to catch up with the movement of the battlefield.
"It's still handsome and smart, and I'm suspicious before I go down." Shen Wenchang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and reluctantly replied.
Three miles away, on the slopes of the hills, an army of 3,000 men lay in ambush here. And in front of them, less than a hundred paces away, is a road.
This avenue leads directly from the battlefield to the camp of the Huainan Army, at this time, the road is dusty, and after a while, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Huainan Army appear in front of the ambush soldiers, they are numerous, but they seem to be a little chaotic, hundreds of steps before and after, and the entire avenue is paved to the brim.
"Pass the order, let the commanders of each battalion pay attention, without the order of the general, all departments must not attack at will, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Zhu Siqing ordered in a deep voice.
Not long after, the soldiers of Wuyongdu who were chasing behind also appeared in the ambush's field of vision, those people of Wuyongdu did not pay much attention to the formation, and at this time the team was stretched very long, and the most elite soldiers were in the front because of the benefits of physical strength, and the weaker ones were dragged behind.
Zhu Siqing took a deep breath, and waited until most of the soldiers of Wuyong had passed the ambush point before he ordered: "Beat the drum and start a charge." Cut the enemy army in two! ”
"Kill, ......" The ambush soldiers roared with joy, quickly killed from behind the hillside, and rushed towards Wu Yongdu. The distance of a hundred steps seemed very short in normal times, but at this time it seemed so long, as if it would take a long time to rush in front of Wu Yongdu.
Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi were shocked when they saw the army that suddenly came out from the side, and they forgot to give the order for a while. And the ordinary soldiers under his command were even more frightened. The advantages of these people are obvious, that is, they are very strong in battle, and they can be said to be fierce and not afraid of death; But their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they are not durable in battle, and after the initial momentum has collapsed, they are almost like ordinary soldiers, and they are not even as good as those elite soldiers.
"Adjust the formation and switch to defense!" Xu Juan came to his senses and ordered loudly.
"Attack with me and crush the enemy!" Xu Zaisi also came to his senses, but he gave the exact opposite order, trying to defeat the enemy army that suddenly appeared in front of him as he had defeated Mi Zhicheng and them before.
However, Zhu Siqing has been recuperating for so long, how could he be defeated by him? The distance of a hundred paces was over in a blink of an eye, and the ambush that launched the assault quickly rushed into the army of Wuyongdu, cutting them into two sections, the front section was about 5,000 people, and the back section was nearly 3,000 people.
"Kill back and flank the enemy with our ambush!" Seeing that Zhu Siqing had successfully cut off the enemy army, Yang Wu exclaimed vigorously.
And with the issuance of the order, the soldiers of the Huainan Army who were still "fleeing" just now also turned around and killed back. At this moment, there was chaos on the battlefield, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.
"Destroy them, don't care about casualties!"
"Rush in and crush them!"
By this time, the battle situation was already very obvious, after Zhu Siqing's 3,000 people cut off Wuyongdu, it was equivalent to 15,000 people of the Huainan Army surrounding Wuyongdu's 5,000 people, which was an absolute superiority in strength; But at the same time, Zhu Siqing was also surrounded by enemy troops and was attacked from front to back.
"Rush over and meet our army to break through!" Xu Zaisi, who was in the back, also understood their situation at this time, and led his three thousand men to launch a fierce attack on Zhu Siqing's troops, hoping to break through his defense line and join Xu Xuan.
