Chapter 308: Success
Clearly, this psychological deterrence is working.
As soon as the formation of the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion changed, the entire army immediately killed in batches in the direction of the order.
The Jin army felt that the pressure was increasing in vain, and hurriedly defended to the two corners.
"Attack!"
Wei Zhongquan laughed and gave the order to change the formation, and after the first batch of Kong Ming lanterns disappeared, the second batch rose into the sky again.
This is the benefit of Kong Ming lantern, in the night tens of millions of troops, if you use the way of command, it is difficult to convey the commander's order, often many large-scale battles, not that the commander is not good, but at the beginning of the formation was restrained by the enemy, can not effectively organize the follow-up formation, so it will be defeated again and again, and finally destroyed.
In history, most of the examples of tens of thousands of people defeating hundreds of thousands of people have this reason, and there are too many people, but it is difficult to command.
The so-called Han Xin's more troops the better, which means that Han Xin's strong command ability can control a large army.
The tide of battle changed in an instant.
Originally, the armies that broke through on both sides were blocked, and Xun Wu also saw Wei Zhongquan's feint plan, but unexpectedly, with such a change in formation, the center of gravity of the entire Qinglong Legion was biased towards the Chinese army.
Even if Xun Wu saw the clue, the million-strong army had just changed its formation, and it was still in a state of chaos, and after the order was delivered, it was too late.
In this way, Xun Wu watched as nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Cangjun army concentrated their forces from the weakest center of their own side, and killed them in one fell swoop, and then turned his head and joined forces with the soldiers who crossed the river, becoming a counter-encirclement trend.
"Retreat, the Cang army has crossed the river safely, and we won't be able to take advantage of it if we continue to fight." Xun Wu sighed and said.
"Just quit?"
Zou Ji was not very reconciled, he had an advantage before, and he was still very excited in his heart, thinking that he would be able to make great contributions this time, but he never thought that the good situation would be lost all of a sudden, which was regrettable.
"Accident in vain, haven't you seen that the hearts of our soldiers have been shaken, what is that shining point?"
Xun Wu said as he glanced at Zou Ji without scruples, and the disdain in it was undoubtedly revealed.
He really didn't understand how such a person who was like a nerd in commanding the battle could gain the trust of the emperor and become the commander of a million-strong army.
Your Majesty, is you already so stupid?
Xun Wu couldn't figure it out, but he was helpless, his current identity was just a civilian, to put it nicely, he was invited to come over in the situation of a guest to help command the army, in fact, he was not as good as a strategist, whether to listen or not, the choice completely lies with Zou Ji.
"Then according to General Xun's words, order the withdrawal of troops." Zou Ji waved his hand, signaled to the herald, and commanded the army to retreat.
"Bell, bell, bellโ"
Mingjin retreats!
Nearly a million troops retreated like a tide, and the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion did not rush to pursue without any orders, but instead held their positions and occupied some important places.
Wei Zhongquan immediately ordered that the whole army should be dispersed for ten miles, and all units should quickly assemble and count the number of losses.
A team of military doctors also carried stretchers to treat the wounded.
As for the wounded in the Jin army, they decisively went up and stabbed, resulting in their lives.
When the sun rises, the corpses can be seen in the ten miles of land, the army is settled, the various departments are stationed according to the plan, and the weapons are all transported in larger ships or ships.
Wei Zhongquan stood on a hillside, looked at the busy military camp, and asked, "How much did our army lose in this battle?" โ
"Marshal Qiqi, our soldiers lost more than 13,000 soldiers, 17 generals and above were killed in battle, and the cavalry team also lost more than 60 war horses, and some dead cavalry soldiers, armor and weapons were also stripped and taken away."
"How can it be!"
Before Wei Zhongquan could speak, Qu Yong next to him was greatly annoyed and scolded.
The soldiers next to him were all angry.
Stripping the dead cavalry of their clothes and armor was more humiliating than death for the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion.
The soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion cannot be defiled!
"Handsome! This matter can't just be left at that! โ
"The enemy has just retreated, and the last general is willing to lead the cavalry team to kill the generals, and be ashamed of the dead robes!"
"Dashuai, the last general is willing to go!"
Wei Zhongquan's face was gloomy, this was the heaviest loss since he led his troops to fight.
Of course, his anger was not only because of the heavy losses, but also because of the immoral methods of the Jin army.
Listening to the words of the soldiers, he frowned and shouted: "The Jin Kingdom is not a cat or a dog, we are facing a well-trained million Jin army, and now we are catching up, are we going to take the brothers to death!" โ
In an instant, all the generals stopped talking.
Indeed, in the past, it was too easy for everyone to fight, so this time the loss of more than 10,000 brothers felt a great humiliation, and he was bent on revenge.
But if you think about it carefully, can the Jin army compare with the enemies of the past?
Don't talk about Zheng Guo at the beginning, it was a world of difference, even compared to the Sheng Army and the Dong Army, this Jin Army was a step higher in terms of equipment and the quality of the soldiers.
We must face the fact that in this big war, we absolutely cannot underestimate the enemy and cannot take it lightly.
"Everyone, everyone must understand that this battle is a crucial battle for my Cangguo, which determines the pattern of the world in the future, whether my Dacang will die under the encirclement of the Jin Kingdom, or whether it will accumulate the foundation and develop into a new generation of overlords, they all hope for this battle, and everyone must not take it lightly!" Wei Zhongquan said in a deep voice.
"Follow the Generalissimo's teachings!"
The soldiers all clenched their fists one by one, their hearts were boiling, from the current point of view, this Jin State is a tiger in front of the strong Cangguo, only by defeating it, Cangguo can jump to a larger platform and peep into the position of the overlord.
With the vigorous vitality of Cangguo, if it develops for more than ten years, what other country in the world can be opposed?
Chu?
Just kidding, Chu is still sick! It seems to be powerful, with a vast territory and a large population, but taking into account various circumstances, it is definitely impossible to win the country.
Nguyen Quouc?
Wu?
Cloud Country?
Mangguo?
Compared to Cangguo, it seems that there are weaknesses everywhere.
The soldiers looked forward to it in their hearts, and at the same time, they also regarded this war as the foundation for the hegemony of the Cangguo.
"It's ridiculous that the Jin army, do you think that if you bring our cavalry equipment back, you can imitate the exact same, the Jin Kingdom is destined to not be able to catch up with my Dacang!"
Qu Yong's face was covered with blood, and he laughed loudly, relieving the atmosphere.
The rest of the generals also smiled, and then took their leave, organizing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
