Chapter 814: Fall 8
The war clouds in the rear continued to rise, and the rolling smoke and firelight were as if the battlefield in front and behind had suddenly collapsed; Seeing this scene, Luo Bingsheng couldn't help but shout "bitter",
However, because of the scramble for the spoils of war and the need to send people to maintain order and provide vigilance, these people in his hands took care of the situation in front of him, but neglected the defense of the rear.
Therefore, from the hills on the bank of the Xiaosha River in the north, a man who was also flying the wind and thunder flag came out coldly. The cavalry at the head had already bitten viciously, and the tail end of his subordinate was slightly behind; The banners of those Huaijun brigades were obviously fought by him all the way, how did he leave such an ambush on the back road.
Could it be that the Huai army in the south that only crossed the Taizi River was a partial division, but it had already occupied the main formation of Liaocheng, how could they let them bypass or hug such a large group of people, for a while, his mind was chaotic, and he only felt that his own mastery of battlefield information was really lacking.
He didn't have time to think about it, because the rear was backed by Liaocheng, there were only some patrols and guards in the army, and now it was obvious that these patrols didn't know when they left their posts without permission, and secretly ran over and mixed in with the ranks of scrambles.
And the old and weak guards in their suits were even more vulnerable, and they were defeated in just one face, and they almost cried and shouted to his mother towards the headquarters where he was, and ran wildly to escape.
At this time, as a number of beautiful smoke arrows rose high, the Huai troops lined up on the side of the mountain in front of them also moved, and after a short rest, they almost regrouped to kill their temporary defensive positions, lined up in several fronts and fronts, and slowly advanced and forced over.
However, he could only lead the team and turn around to intercept the emerging enemy; Otherwise, if the other side forms a confluence of the two sides, it will be the day when this cavalry will be destroyed; And the literacy and intuition cultivated over the years told him that if he could take the initiative, he might still have a chance to gain the upper hand, or even break through the chance to get out of battle.
As for those who have just reacted from the chaos of scrambling and fighting, but are calling friends and looking for their belongings, then we can only hope that they will be blessed with more blessings, and hope that this generation will be able to resist or restrain these current enemies reads();.
It's just that it seems to be far away, but in fact, the other party's speed is not slow at all, and it comes in an instant in the smoke and dust. His vanguard cavalry, which was hit by a rain of bullets, fell off their horses like falling leaves.
Then the horizontal column that had been fired by the platoon stopped and loaded the whole team, and let the rear team continue to move forward and raise the gun three layers to fire again; Then, like a storm and a crashing wave, which was superimposed and accumulated, separated by a distance of dozens of paces, the cavalry in his hand was rushed and sunk into a large section of the sweeping force.
Then the small number of cavalry of the opponent who avoided the battle also went around the side and suddenly accelerated and sprinted to kill, and they all slowed down to avoid the horse team of their own side, and suddenly the first cavalry attack that Luo Bingsheng was easy to organize was dispersed to cut off and disturb the attack.
And after the rough fight, Luo Bingsheng finally understood.
It was actually the people who crusaded and pursued Luo Suxian's party in the south, but they didn't know when they had returned to the territory of Liaocheng Prefecture, but the hateful thing was that because of the destruction of the pass post post house by the war, as well as the withering and dilapidated place, no one was able to report to them in time and spread the word or two.
The other party kept contact unhurriedly, waiting for this moment. Looking back now, the lord of Huaizhen always seems to be able to keep all kinds of back hands with ease, and then the unexpected key will be taken out with a final word.
It's a pity that they were all in the same camp before, and they didn't feel it much; But once you are an opponent, it is particularly profound.
His flank was attacked again, but it was in the rear of the previous pursuit, and those who had fled into the reeds by the river gathered again and shot with their swords raised. Although they were not many in number, they were just right for his team, forming a three-sided oppressive situation.
The other party's backhand and ambush actually have this place; Even if Luo Bingsheng desperately shouted and gave orders, he couldn't suppress the panic of his hand. As the so-called internal and external troubles and internal and external difficulties, the balance of forces and the trend of victory and defeat on the battlefield at this moment have been forcibly reversed.
Even with his ability to serve in the army for many years, he could only have several times the enemy outside, and when his morale was already depressed, he personally led the team to forcibly rush out of a way out of the place where the enemy's support had not yet been fully invested.
It's just that at this juncture and critical time, those children of various families who were busy competing for goods and were made dumplings finally gave him a "surprise"; The few guards around them desperately crowded around them, and they fled like crazy, and even Luo Bingsheng was easy to agitate and organize, responsible for cutting off the rear and blocking the enemy's rear formation, and they all rushed out a few gaps.
Then, there is the unstoppable collapse of the situation and the chain of collapses.
And the final result was that the soldiers around the battlefield were surrounded by ambushes, and the feudal soldiers who escorted the front team who seemed to have fled far away also turned around and killed them; The front and back were blocked and trapped, and these horses were scattered and abandoned by their respective generals, and most of the horse troops who had to fight separately were swept away, and only a few escaped.
So, after a few hours, everything was settled.
Luo Bingsheng, a dusty and dusty general, could only cry without tears and looked at the few or so people left around him, his future of making a comeback and his ambition to make contributions to the Lord were once again ended in the wilderness between these hills.
There was a bonfire in the field in the distance, and it was the victorious Huai army and the feudal soldiers who helped in the battle, cleaning up the battlefield.
But what happened later, a more indignant and desperate scene is that Luo Bingsheng, as a general, actually encountered a certain child who fled from the road, and shot his mount to the other party by unscrupulous means and fell off the horse on the spot.
The more than 100 followers who stood out were all that was left in front of them. And his makeshift mount was almost out of strength, and after stopping and falling down in sweat, although he was convulsing all over, he could never get up again.
Looking at the stars, the spreading firelight and the faint human voices, the tired and desperate pro-soldier instinctively clenched his weapon, and then showed him a resolute and expectant expression. But seeing Luo Bingsheng's team, they shook their heads slightly and said:
"There's no need for ......"
"Maybe it's time to put an end to this......"
He stood up with a wry smile and trembling, and with the support of his own soldiers, he limped forward for some distance, and then loudly reported his identity, hoping to get a slightly more decent prisoner treatment from the visitor......
That night, I got the news that Luo Bingsheng, the former commander of the Anton Guard, the current commander of the new town and the lord of Guo An, and the pioneer general of the Ma Army, became the highest-ranking prisoner of the army.
Although his whole body had been roughly cleaned, the general, who was in his early forties, still looked much older and haggard because of the blow of defeat, and his body still exuded a smell of freshly bandaged white medicine.
"Dongshan City was a farewell ...... back then"
I was a little embarrassed
"But when we meet again in such a situation, I don't know if I can feel it......"
"The general of the defeated army, the man who survives ......"
He said with a little dejected
"What do you dare to say...... I was touched."
"If Huai Shuai can remember the fate of the past few faces......"
"Please give me a neat and decent look, and I will thank you......"
"It's so decent, I really can't bear to ......"
I laughed, it was a good feeling to be in control of life and death.
"I want you to live well as a witness to everything......"
Then he commanded that he should be taken away.
As a little friendship with him in the past, although there was a hostile position on the battlefield, I did not despise and ridicule him for this, but explained not to treat him slowly, and to meet all daily needs as much as possible; It may be useful in the future.
At this time, the post-war statistics also came out.
In the end of the battle, two thousand were killed and two thousand five or six were captured, and there were more than three thousand well-saddled horses, all of which were left by the panicked men who picked up things.
Therefore, on the whole, the proceeds of seizure far outweigh the loss of materials that have been deliberately discarded and destroyed.
One of the biggest keys is the original south of Ning Zhiyuan's department, after getting the order, urgently turned around, and after overcoming many difficulties in one go, he still arrived at the scheduled time, and stood by reads();.
Otherwise, with limited troops, I can only fight a rout battle, and let these cavalry see that the situation is not good, and there is still a chance to escape, then there will be some trouble and endless troubles.
This reflects the benefits of firearms warfare, which is the so-called labor expedition and the end of a strong crossbow, but as a firearms unit, as long as you still have the strength to pull the trigger, it means that there is still the corresponding combat ability and lethal effect.
Therefore, in the face of the enemy who is still trapped in the beast, as long as the place is covered by fire alternately, and after a little rest and adjustment, it is easy to recover.
Then, with a new victory, I can continue to do something......
So, at noon the next day, on the head of the city of Liaocheng,
The hot summer wind blew on his face, but it couldn't hide the cold and biting chill in Luo Zhanrong's heart.
It was easy to clean up the turmoil in the city, but it ushered in the terrible news of the destruction of the chasing horse team. This is not some second- or third-rate local feudal soldier, it is all cavalry that he has tried his best to put together.
And Luo Bingsheng, the general who was not on the spot, was finally persuaded by him and activated, the only remaining general of the family. Since the turmoil and war, the leading talents accumulated in the previous generation of the family have fled from the dead, and the people who are suitable for them have almost withered.
I heard the words of those who fled back sporadically, and those Huai troops were about to counterattack back to Liaochengzhi, and some people were even frightened to open the door and not run away. In the city, they were also shocked by the news, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries, and considerable loss of goods.
After losing the vast majority of the cavalry that could be used in his hands, although Luo Zhanrong still had a considerable number of men and horses in Liaocheng, he was also frightened, or he had been deprived of his fighting spirit and courage.
Even if he was rewarded at the three invitations, no one took the initiative to ask for his life or responded, and was willing to lead the troops to take action and test those Huai troops outside the city; Even if he personally named the generals, it would be useless.
Those people, in turn, persuaded him not to act rashly, lest he fall into the other party's calculations and lose his strength in vain; It's as if you have left this tall and thick city wall, and you don't have the slightest sense of security.
Then the topic between them turned into a fierce quarrel between several groups, pointing fingers at each other and questioning each other's ulterior motives, and wanting to send themselves to death.
Therefore, in the end, in the midst of a series of ridicule and arguments, he could only watch outside Liaocheng, the unharmed Ben Formation of the Yuanzong, and the two foreign reinforcements and horses Xu Ran converged, and the martial and powerful Gu Lie Proofread in this city.
As the saying goes, "the Huai army is less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible", but the Huai army gathered in the city is not only tens of thousands. It is the so-called flags and solemnity, so that people can know at a glance that it is not good to be harmonious.
This also made him suddenly feel that his efforts over this period of time, both old and new, had become a joke in a sense; It was easy to plot a counterattack and make a comeback, and captured the home of Liaocheng; But in the strength of the other party's majestic troops, it seems to be trapped in a larger cage in disguise.
At this time, a number of horsemen suddenly galloped to the city,
A moment later, the conditions for the negotiation of the soldiers in the city were also projected, and one of the most important preconditions was to hand over the people related to the Boluo Society and leave them at the disposal of the other party.
and open the gates of the city, so that the people of the city can decide to stay for themselves
