40, Chen Cang War 5
"Great goodness!"
Han Sui couldn't help but praise on the horse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Guarding Han Sui's side with a respectful face, it was Cheng Gongying who immediately responded when he heard Han Sui's question, he was also from Jincheng, and he fought in Han Sui's army. Han Sui loved his majesty, promoted him to be a personal soldier, guarded him by his side, as if he had treated him as one of his confidants, and did not deliberately support him when doing such confidential things.
It turned out that Han Sui commanded the right wing of soldiers and horses to follow the whole army before, but it was just a cover to deceive the kingdom, how could Han Sui, who had his own plans, easily join forces with the kingdom because of the kingdom's heartfelt words, and gamble on all the elites he had tempered on the battlefield for many years.
Now he saw that the situation on the battlefield had gradually reversed, and the balance of victory was also tilting towards the Han army that calmly responded to the battle. Han Sui would not follow the kingdom that planned to fight to the death here, he had already made arrangements for the withdrawal of troops in private.
Han Sui looked at the men and horses on both sides of the battle in front of him, the Qianghu cavalry with the superior number just roamed around the periphery and fought with the Han cavalry, threatening the Han army not to act rashly, there was no taste of large-scale attack, and the foot soldiers only had a small-scale engagement with the Han army, and did not enter the Han army's front. Therefore, although the right flank of the coalition army also sounded horns constantly, there was no other progress except for helping to contain most of the cavalry of the Han army and the infantry on the left flank.
But now he is about to retreat, in order to prevent being pursued by the Han army, Han Sui also needs to deal with it carefully, he thought for a moment and said:
"Don't stop the horn of the march, send an order to ride to the cavalry, let them press the Han army a little, cover the retreat of the infantry on the right flank, and the infantry must retreat in formation, retreat from each other, and must not leave the ranks without authorization, and those who are out of order will be killed!"
The commander next to him immediately received the order and galloped away with the order flag, divided into two sides to pass orders to the infantry and cavalry troops in front. Han Sui watched the distant Lingqi raise smoke and dust all the way, he also turned his horse's head and whispered an order to the surrounding soldiers:
"Let's retreat too!"
So it didn't take long for a strange scene on the battlefield to appear. Although the right flank of the coalition army was constantly sounding horns, the soldiers waved their flags and shouted, and the momentum shook the sky. However, after the cavalry troops forced back the Han cavalry, they began to cover the retreat of the infantry formations, and the infantry on the right flank did not seem to see the Han army in front of them, and strode back as if no one was around. The Han army on the opposite side did not know what to do, and the other side had more cavalry than their own, and they were eyeing the periphery of the side, afraid of falling into the trap set by the other party, and did not dare to easily order the pursuit, so they watched the retreating rebel soldiers calmly withdraw from the frontal battlefield.
Huangfu Song, who overlooked the overall situation, discovered the rebels' movements at the first time in the Chinese army, and when he saw that the right flank of the rebels was not a feint, but was really retreating, and even exposed the flanks of his own Chinese army to the Han cavalry. He looked surprised, but he was experienced on the battlefield and immediately seized this fleeting fighter, he pointed to the gap in the battlefield that was exposed after the rebels retreated, and ordered loudly:
"Order! The infantry on the left flank quickly seized the open space, detoured to the flank of the rebel center, and broke the kingdom's own army together! ”
"Order! Once the other party all withdraw from the battlefield, only half of the troops need to be divided to contain the rebels, and the rest of the men and horses will return to the rear of the rebel army and outflank the kingdom's own army! ”
"Order! Huangfu Li led the Chinese army with 800 cavalry, and after defeating the rebel army head-on, he did not need to fight, but directly detoured to the back of the left wing of the rebels, attacked the rebels from behind, and annihilated the rebels together with the Han army on the right flank! ”
"Order!······"
With the military order of Huangfu Song to divide and encircle one by one and rush to outflank, the Han army, a monster entrenched on the high ground and waiting for work, finally opened its bloody mouth, revealing his long-dormant minions, aimed at the deadly point of the rebels, and bit down fiercely.
···
On the left flank of the coalition army, Gan Ling, who looked hurried, rushed to Yan Xing's side, who had just retreated from the battle line, and said nervously and quickly:
"Shaojun, it's not good! The Han army has bypassed the right flank to surround the Chinese army, and the left flank also has the armored cavalry of the Han army behind the flank, the army is about to collapse, nothing can be done, I will retreat as soon as possible! ”
Hearing this, Yan Xing's face also changed, he stretched his neck on the horse, turned his head to look in the direction of the Chinese army, at this time, the sound of horns and battles was endless, and the banner of the kingdom was crumbling in the crowd, it seemed that the situation was just as Gan Ling said, the Chinese army of the coalition army that broke into the Han army front has now become encircled, and it is about to be wiped out.
"What about the right flank of the coalition? And what about Vice Admiral Han himself? ”
In the face of this crisis, Yan Xing, who had always been steady, was also a little caught off guard, and he asked quickly with a dark face.
"The right flank of the coalition army has retreated, Han Chang retreated with the one hundred and ten cavalry before the right flank retreated, and before leaving, he asked me to send you a message to let you leave quickly!"
"Damn it!"
I heard that Han Chang had also retreated, leaving only useless nonsense. Yan Xing suddenly understood that the left-wing men and horses had now been abandoned as outcasts, and Han Sui, who had the most people on the right-wing, had retreated, so after a while, the remaining remnants of the soldiers and horses would be completely surrounded by the Han army, and the whole army would be wiped out, but if he abandoned his own troops, even if he could escape back alive, what kind of face would he have to see his father and clansmen.
Yan Xing hatefully thrust the Hundred Refining Ring Knife in his hand into the ground, watching the cavalry on the left flank in front of him fighting desperately and bloodily under the leadership of Wang Fan, who was disheveled and shaped like a mad tiger, resisting the attack of the Han army to the death, he became more and more anxious, looked around, and quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
When he saw the tidal flat river reeds not far away, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Ganling:
"The army of the land of execution can only survive if it does the opposite. Our rear road has been cut off by the Han army, and we can't retreat any further. At the moment, the only way to survive is to take advantage of the fact that there is still Wang Fan in front of him to drag the Han army, and immediately turn into the river reeds with the rest of the men and horses, and then under the cover of the reeds, quickly leave the battlefield, and get rid of the Han army's pursuers. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Xing looked at Gan Ling, lowered his voice and said:
"You and I are divided into two ways, you immediately go and quietly gather the remaining cavalry, I will gather the rest of the troops, take advantage of no one to find out, immediately hide in the reeds, you must be fast, wait until you are really defeated, and then flee into the reeds when the rout is scattered, it is also too late to expose your whereabouts!"
Gan Ling's face was solemn, and he immediately rode his horse and turned around and ran towards the battle line where the cavalry was charged. And Yan Xing also hurriedly ran to the position of the front where his troops were located, now the army was flustered, and the men and horses were running back and forth, many people and horses were disabled and lost their command, only because the elite cavalry led by Wang Fan was still struggling, and the news of the defeat of the whole army had not spread to the left flank, the soldiers and horses were not completely defeated, but they could not last long.
The coalition is about to be defeated!
