"The Nankees are catching up again......"

The laments and cries like the terrible night owls resounded in the crowd of northern soldiers who sat or lay on the ground to rest and gasp after the wolf ran after the wolf ran and chased the tiger, tearing the grass roots or cow belts.

Most of them were disgraced, their robes were ragged, their faces were full of all kinds of panic and surprise, and the flags and weapons to which they belonged were also scattered.

It's just that they temporarily gather together to protect themselves according to the level of the army, after all, this northern land has become a big battlefield full of wars, and as the remnants of the defeat, this escape road is not necessarily easy.

I saw the gray-green battle line of the human wall, standing tall with the spikes on the long guns, beating the drum from the end of the field, slowly pressing. They braced up the exhaustion and weakness of their bodies, tried to get themselves on their feet, and hastily formed several simple battle formations for self-protection in a short time according to their respective strengths.

But these southern troops, instead, stopped and stopped, and then rows of smoke rose up.

The first to greet these remnants of the Northern Army were rows of scorching projectiles, and streams of blood were sprayed one after another in the dense crowd like splashing raindrops.

Like a dense grate comb that has swept through the crowd, it quickly harvests their lives and fighting spirit, and then they have to shrink more densely and gather together.

But what appeared immediately after that was in the flying dust, quickly bypassing those Southern Army guns, and suddenly appeared a group of cavalry,

On the flank of the formation of the Northern Army, they pulled out a long line and suddenly stopped slightly, and they were confronted with a burst of handcuffs, and the front row of the fight rolled all over the ground before changing to melee weapons again.

However, these light horses, wearing double-feathered hats and helmets, obviously only had simple protection, and instead of the stubby spears or long-poles and lances that were common to the horse army, they held the slightly curved slender-bladed long knives, and held the reins diagonally upwards against the horse's neck, until the last moment when they faced the enemy, and then suddenly turned into a forward stabbing posture with a reverse upward and diagonal downward movement.

At this time, a certain horn sounded again in the horse team, as if a killing switch had been turned on, and these figures on the back of the horses leaned forward and bowed down in unison

The swords of the swords fell in the loud voices, like a flock of gulls and birds skimming the sea, and like a large group of flying fish that jumped out of the top of the tide.

From the edge of the enemy formation of the regiment, he shaved it unevenly with a series of knife lights, only to see the heads and stumps of the people flying up and down one after another, along with the weapons that were broken and crashed.

Wherever they passed, the enemy columns facing them were either scattered or fled, and they were almost cut short by the same brush.

After the spurt staggered back and forth for several turns, the enemy formation that tried to form a group to resist also shrank a lot, but found that he had once again been exposed to the sight and range of those Southern Dynasty gunners.

There were also people who, between despair and fearlessness, re-summoned their bravery, shouted out to their comrades, and took advantage of the interval between the three columns of dense volleys of reloading, and suddenly recoiled back, and then were covered again by the waiting fourth column, which sent out a rain of bullets,

When the remaining survivors, who survived this sparse rain of bullets, rushed to the front of the gunned army, they were pierced by several groups of cross-covering guns, and fell in a pool of blood, and in the end they were almost spared.

When they saw the horse-drawn artillery carriage also appear on the edge of the battlefield, with the smoke of the cannon, in the remnants of the crowd, after a few large blood flowers were exploded, the remaining northern soldiers also completely desperate and helpless dropped their weapons, raised their hands and knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly to ask for mercy.

After the defeat at Weishanhu, the last remnants of the Northern Army, which had gathered together according to class and convention and tried to regroup, were thus declared dead.

Zhang Xian, who was standing in the column of the artillery carriage and the gunning army, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because it was the elite force of the Northern Dynasty, even if it was broken up after the defeat, he still had considerable military quality and organization.

If you don't get a breath and have a moment to breathe, you will spontaneously get closer together again and become a new obstacle and resistance.

According to the words and orders of the lord, this battle was quite difficult and extremely difficult, so this is an opponent who has fully fought with the weapon battle array, and has a lot of experience and experience.

If they can't take advantage of the momentum of victory and completely defeat their remnants of the system and their courage together, they will inevitably have an experienced and powerful opponent in the future.

You have to chase them at any cost, even if you break up the team, you have to keep them as long as possible. Therefore, the task of chasing the dead and chasing the north after the war was not as easy and easy to do as usual.

After the hard fighting, the soldiers ran around day after day, and they were also exhausted, and they were only slightly better in the contest of wills by relying on the breath of the great victory, and supporting the last bit of spirit.

On the shore of Weishan Lake, I was taking stock of the harvest after the war, although this battle was the hardest and most thrilling battle I had fought since I came out

But it was also very rich, especially after the looting and emptying of the camp of the Shenji Army, in addition to the usual gunpowder, fuel, equipment, and ordnance.

I obtained at least three large observation pontoons (hot air balloon balloons), equipped with field artillery sets and a number of accessories, and the artillery regiment commanded by Guo Yaoshi finally had a veritable cannon.

As for the small cannons that could only shoot loose pellets, they were handed over to the pacesetters, the teaching team, and the special vehicle regiments respectively as horse-drawn artillery wagons or pack-mounted mobile equipment.

The smaller revolver, which was more numerous, was assigned to the first to third battalions of the main battle sequence, although each battalion was not divided into seven or eight guns, and at best it was only half a team, but it was enough to strengthen a certain amount of attacking and suppressing forces.

In addition, there are a large number of multi-purpose standard vehicles, as well as supporting various spare parts, so that our car array and artillery team have it.

The greatest gain in the camp of the Northern Army was not enough armament or baggage to arm one or two armies, but the large amount of animal power stored during the period. You must know that compared with the Southern Dynasty, where horses were relatively rare, as a first-class army in the Northern Dynasty, the popularity of military horses was quite high.

In this way, combined with the existing vehicles and other vehicles, at least half of the soldiers of our army can be provided with transportation and rotation rest during the march.

It took me a whole day to gather all the scattered subordinates back, plus it took me more than a day to annex the crippled friendly troops and organize the extra soldiers.

At this time, Shuaisi's order was also sent along with the rewarded goods.

Almost acquiescing to the vast majority of my fait accompli, I announced that I had once again expanded the scope and authority of my "command of the defense of the north," and that the other seven military titles that had returned by the way were all placed under my official jurisdiction.

Of course, most of them are empty troops that are not well established. In this way, I also temporarily obtained the right wing of the new army, the right to requisition and transfer this horse army, theoretically, as a fully armed unit, the missing last link has also been filled.

Then, I was ordered to quickly move closer to Xuzhou, rest and replenish on the spot, and by the way, send troops to search for the whereabouts of other troops of the Hebei Army.

According to the current military information provided by the commander, in addition to the large army that I broke here, there are at least two or three northern soldiers in Xuzhou, whose whereabouts are unknown for the time being.

Therefore, it is important not to slack off and be negligent.

"So I am convinced ......"

To the west of Yanzhou, on the wide field, in the vast marching queue, Zhang Shuye, the deputy envoy of Hebei Xingtai, also confirmed a certain result again.

"The Pinghai and Shengwei armies from Anton are no longer built......

Between his words, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh, since when did things become like this.

Due to the failure to catch up with the defense of Xuzhou in the end, therefore, as a follow-up alternative made by Hebei's eastern Xingtai, a counteroffensive plan involving more than a dozen military orders and as many as about 110,000 troops to cross Henan was specially planned.

Although the local guards led by Zhang Shuye tried their best to command and coordinate, but because of various accidents and emergencies, problems in the ownership and command sequence of each army, and the organization and order of the guide were endless, and finally more than 80,000 soldiers and horses successfully crossed the river.

Among them, it is necessary to remove the part of the loss caused by the failure of the landing in Yunzhou, and at least 20,000 people who were isolated from Yunzhou in the west. This was also the first variable encountered by the Hebei Army Group after crossing the river.

Therefore, as a front-line leader, Zhang Shuye can only control the number of troops at his disposal, but he is not angry. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to merge the remnants of the local Henan and Huaibei soldiers and strengthen the lineup.

He also subdued the powerful and local armed forces in those places, made them the forerunner and guide the way, and avoided the lack of geographical advantages of the guest army from afar, and made the best use of everything, driving the attack and nuisance of the rear and grain routes of the southern army, so that they could not care about each other and heard the alarm day and night and were shocked in all directions.

Then, in the midst of these deliberately created smoke and shocks, they strategized in the marching movement, and lured the various units of the Southern Army that had not had time to react for a while, and were divided into various places, one by one to ambush them in the field or break through the field battle, and even between the trapped and the isolated fortress, and did not dare to act rashly.

With more than half of the troops less than expected, we still fought a huge situation with great vigour, and gradually regained the predetermined goal -- Pengcheng, and steadily advanced.

But as if it was a providence that was difficult, it was a certain variable that once again played a role, and the troops who only stayed in Yunzhou once again broke through the second and third line troops that followed the river, and reunited the southern army that was separated and trapped when it followed up again.

Zhang Shuye made a decision again, because the left wing of this new army is said to be equipped with a large number of firearms, and it is known as the first strong force in the field defense, not to mention that it also gathered many troops along the way.

Therefore, the original plan was to let the Pinghai Left Army be specifically responsible for intercepting and delaying this department, but unexpectedly, Yang Cunzhong, who has always been a loyal and reliable commander, actually crossed the Chinese army and asked for help from the neighbors without authorization, and a decisive battle broke out with this southern army.

Although there are various problems in military discipline and atmosphere, they are still willing to obey orders as a whole, but they didn't expect that this time, they actually went alone in a group, and made an irreparable mistake.

Although Yang Cunzhong had already died in the enemy's ranks, he acted without authorization, but it brought extremely strict consequences and damage to Zhang Shuye's overall plan and good situation.

If he loses the two armies and one guard that block the enemy on his own, he will have less than half of the armed forces left at hand.

Therefore, he had to give up, only one foot away from the Pengcheng strategy, before the news of the defeat of the three armies in Pinghai spread, and the city was attacked and threatened by the enemy, he sacrificed a small number of men and horses to make a posture of strong attack and coercion, quickly broke away from the contact on the edge of Bian Shui, and adopted another strategy and goal for backup.

After all, he had also considered the worst-case scenario, and if he was prepared, at least it was not the most dangerous situation, and his subordinates still had something to do.

From the bottom of his heart, he said to himself.

Just like back then, he was still out of the battle, and with his own body, he entered Lianyun Village in the Taihang Mountains alone, persuaded him to surrender and settle down the five local mountains, and then had his first batch of teams.

He's also not so susceptible to setbacks and blows.
