Chapter 305: Defeat (II)
Sun Kewang ran away.
Bai Wenxuan also ran away.
The 200,000 Western troops ran away.
"Give me chase!"
Wang Sheng gave an order, and 300,000 Chu troops chased and killed together, grabbed the ass of the Western Army, and went all the way to the west.
Yes, after the full mobilization, Wang Sheng's troops have reached an astonishing number of 300,000, although most of them are auxiliaries, but there are nearly 100,000 soldiers, especially the number of musketeers, because there is rarely hand-to-hand combat, so the musketeers of the Chu army only wear light armor or leather armor, or even no armor, and their mobility is far stronger than that of the armor soldiers.
At this time, the Western Army should have turned around to meet the battle, repelled the pursuing troops of the Chu Army, and then covered each other and retreated alternately, but Sun Kewang had lost control of the troops, and all the departments wanted to escape as soon as possible, no one wanted to fight with the Chu Army, even if the vanguard of the Chu Army was lone and deep, it seemed that it was easy to be eliminated, but the Western Army was afraid of delaying time, so they retreated and fled in other directions, and a Chu army of several hundred people chased thousands of Western Army to blow up the nest, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
"Boldly pursue, boldly outflank, don't let Sun Kewang and Bai Wenxuan escape!"
Wang Sheng and the other generals of the Chu army knew that the retreat of the Western Army had evolved into a rout on the whole front, and immediately ordered all units to speed up the pursuit, not to worry about the lone army going deeper, not to worry about their own flanks, the Western Army now has no intention of fighting, just wants to flee for their lives, it is a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy!
Where Sun Kewang is running now, Wang Sheng doesn't know, but there are only a few routes for the retreat of the Western Army, and some of the necessary roads cannot be bypassed, Wang Sheng led the elite main force of the Chu Army, mainly lightly armed musketeers, to quickly intersperse with the depth of the Western Army, and rushed towards the Xinhua County title of Baoqing Prefecture.
At the same time, the defenders of Baoqing Mansion poured out of the nest and rushed eastward, intending to meet Sun Kewang, thousands of western troops marched along the official road, and encountered small groups of Chu and Western troops from time to time along the road, all of which ignored them, and collided with Wang Sheng about thirty miles north of Baima Pass.
"It's just a small group of Chu thieves, regardless of him, it's important to take over King Qin!" When the commander of the Western Army saw Wang Sheng's troops, he thought that the other party was just a reckless vanguard force, which had run too fast and suddenly drilled into Sun Kewang's rear, and it was not worth wasting time for them, so he ordered the troops to continue to advance.
"These western thieves are dizzy, and they are still running to the east, so ignore him." When Wang Sheng saw the troops of the Western Army, he also thought that the other party did not have many troops, and he did not want to entangle with them, so he just wanted to rush to Xinhua County and block Sun Kewang's way.
As a result, the two armies walked opposite each other, thinking that after fully demonstrating their strength, the other party would take the initiative to avoid it, and looked like they were too lazy to pay attention to your garbage, but as the two armies gradually approached, Wang Sheng and the main general of the Western Army were stunned to find that the other party's troops were in sight, and they were obviously a large formed army, and they hurriedly ordered to meet the battle, and thousands of soldiers were suddenly strangled together.
"Bitter, bitter! Ben will actually meet Wang Sheng, the thief chief, and this time my life will be suspended......"
After a chaotic encounter, the Western Army has suffered most of the casualties, and the main general of the leading army recognized Wang Sheng's banner, and hurriedly led the remnants of the defeated army to flee, Wang Sheng also realized that this Western Army was a little special, and sent a force to chase and kill from behind, and he still led the main force to the northwest of Xinhua County.
The receiving troops of Baoqing Mansion were defeated, which made Sun Kewang feel that the situation was worse, and the plan to gather troops in Shaoyang was also shattered, so he simply passed through the city, and continued to flee westward in a race against time, but just after walking out, he received a report from the scout, and the official road to Xiangxi was blocked by Wang Sheng in the area of Xinhua County.
This road is not working!
Find another way out!
Wang Sheng was interspersed with the front so quickly, blocking the road to Xiangxi, which made Sun Kewang more and more aware of the gap between the Western Army and the Chu Army, the Western Army desperately fled, the troops all ran away, and finally fell behind the Chu Army, what is even more terrifying is that the Chu Army can still maintain a complete structure, in other words, it maintains the basic combat effectiveness, and the Western Army, which has collapsed, is definitely not his opponent, Sun Kewang has no idea of defeating Wang Sheng and forcibly breaking through, and takes a small road instead, wanting to bypass Xinhua.
How could Wang Sheng let him get his wish, and immediately caught up from all sides, Sun Kewang clashed left and right, and was never able to break through the blockade of the Chu army, and was forced to retreat into Shaoyang again, Wang Sheng immediately mobilized a large army and surrounded Shaoyang.
After Sun Kewang entered the city, he hurriedly rectified the city defense, recruited young and strong, and prepared to resist stubbornly, Shaoyang is the capital of Baoqing Mansion, and it is the only way to withdraw to Xiangxi, after the various departments of the Western Army ran away, many troops coincidentally ran to Shaoyang, and were all packed into the encirclement by the Chu army, when Sun Kewang broke through from Xinhua County, there were only more than 20,000 people left around him, but now the strength of the army has not decreased but increased, and the total number of miscellaneous things has exceeded 40,000 people, but most of the people in Shaoyang City have fled, and there are few left, There were not enough young men to help the Western army defend the city.
Fortunately, Shaoyang was originally an important stronghold of the Western Army, and there were still some grain stocks in the city, and more than 40,000 people saved some food, which could last for about a month.
What if the Chu army runs out of food and retreats?
What if, Bai Wenxuan led his troops to help?
Seeing that the encirclement of the Chu army is getting thicker and thicker, Sun Kewang gave up the plan to break through, and can only pin his hopes on these illusory possibilities.
After the Chu army besieged the city, in just a few days, not only built a continuous large camp, but also dug trenches one after another, built high walls, and repaired the first ring and the second ring to Shaoyang City, and repaired the second ring and repaired the third ring, seeing the scale of the Chu army's company camp, there were at least 150,000 troops, probably more than 200,000, and there were strong camps and fortifications as a support, Sun Kewang didn't even have the courage to go out of the city to fight back, just closed the door, and by the way, the soldiers could save some food.
After Wang Sheng surrounded Shaoyang, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, first, Shaoyang is also a capital city, the city is strong, and it is not so easy to fight, even if the city wall is blown up with gunpowder, there are tens of thousands of Western troops in the city who have no way to escape, and in a desperate situation, it will bring unnecessary casualties to the Chu army, and secondly, in addition to Sun Kewang, the largest force, the other Western armies have also been defeated on all fronts, Wang Sheng trapped Sun Kewang behind Shaoyang, freed his hands, first pursued and killed the other Western armies, and tried to wipe them out.
Bai Wenxuan broke through from southern Hunan to Guilin, and Sun Kewang turned into a large-scale rout, and was killed by Zhang Jiayu in the Changning area, and was forced to turn to Yongzhou Mansion, wanting to retreat from Lingling to Xiaoshui along the boat, at this time, Wang Sheng divided his troops and sent Lu Renqing, Teng Shuanglin's elite troops to the south first, defeated Lingling's Western Army that came to meet Bai Wenxuan, captured Qiyang, cut off Xiaoshui, Bai Wenxuan's army had no fighting spirit, demoralized, did not dare to entangle with the Chu army, and detoured to the north of Yongzhou Mansion again, I want to withdraw from the west of Lingling to Quanzhou, Guangxi.
The Chu army pursued fiercely, Zhang Jiayu, Lu Renqing, Teng Shuanglin and other Chu army units formed a joint encirclement, after several rounds of encirclement and interception, the remnants of Bai Wenxuan's defeated army surrounded in a narrow mountainous area on the border of Hunan and Guizhou, Bai Wenxuan saw that the general trend had gone, disguised as a small soldier that night, and fled with several personal guards who abandoned the army.
This disguised absconding was very successful at the beginning, not only did the Chu army not notice, even the thousands of soldiers under Bai Wen's players were also concealed, after dawn Zhang Jiayu launched a general attack, in one fell swoop into the last small mountain village occupied by the Western Army, the Western Army soldiers hurried to Bai Wenxuan to report to Bai Wenxuan, Bai Wenxuan's bedroom has been closed, a bold general broke in, only to find that his own coach has gone to the empty house.
The Western army was leaderless, laid down their arms and surrendered to the Chu army, Zhang Jiayu and Teng Shuanglin interrogated the prisoners, and asked about Bai Wenxuan's whereabouts but no one knew, he immediately sent people to search around, and found a long rope tied to the big tree on the cliff in the back mountain, hanging down to the bottom of the cliff, and there were traces of people climbing and trampling on the cliff, it was obvious that Bai Wenxuan ran from here.
Zhang Jiayu sent people to continue to search, but time passed too long, and not far after chasing out, he lost the trace of Bai Wenxuan, Zhang Jiayu had no choice but to collect his troops, turn to the southeast with his troops, launch a fierce attack on Lingling, and vent all his grievances on the other Western Army.
Bai Wenxuan and a few personal guards over the mountains and mountains, all night in the mountains hard running, at dawn, has fled to the southwest for more than ten miles, after boarding an unknown mountain, the eyes suddenly opened, Bai Wenxuan waved his hand excitedly, pointed to the front and said: "Everyone, the front should be the boundary of Guangxi, as long as we arrive in Guangxi, we will be safe." ”
In front of it is a plain covered with mountains and forests, and there is a small village in the distance, surrounded by large fields, a small river runs by, and the cooking smoke in the village is misty, peaceful and quiet, and it seems that it has not been affected by the war, as if it is a paradise. Bai Wenxuan and several guards all had a feeling of happiness that they had escaped death, and they wanted to go down the mountain immediately, go to the village to eat some food, and have a good rest, but this hillside was very steep, and they searched left and right for a long time, but they couldn't find a way down the mountain.
With a rumbling, Bai Wenxuan stumbled, suddenly slipped and fell, and rolled down the hillside, several guards rushed up to the rescue together, but they collided together and fell down the hill with Bai Wenxuan.
"Hurry up! Get up! Someone fell from the mountain, as if it were a rout of the Western Thieves. ”
"Thief? How many people are there? ”
"Broke your legs? So what are you waiting for, brothers, take the knife and go up with it! ”
"Fuck it! Can a thief's head be exchanged for two yuan for a military ticket......"
In the woods at the foot of the mountain, there is a team of dozens of Chu army auxiliaries who are resting, they got lost last night, they have been running here, and they slept in the woods for a night, at this time many people have not gotten up, only Zhang San drank too much cold water and had a stomach, and ran to the outside of the woods early in the morning to practice Asian squatting, and was grabbing two leaves to enjoy the happiness gushing out, but they were stunned to see Bai Wenxuan and others fall down the hillside.
He didn't even lift his pants, so he hurried back to report the news, these auxiliaries also brought simple weapons, drew out their knives and guns, and rushed back with Zhang San, as soon as they saw Bai Wenxuan and others, they shouted to sit on the ground and avoid death.
