Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Outside Shagou City, Zhen Baoche's Tiger Army and Huo Xiaobao's Hussar Army were like two thunderous long knives, slashing down from the left and right directions, and for a time the arrows were like rain, the hooves were like thunder, and the knives were like forests, killing the earth.

Jia Wuben backed the Zhongchuan water, formed a battle to the death, and fought against the water. He can't retreat, as soon as he retreats, Zhang Xutuo's retreat will be broken, he will definitely fall into the encirclement of the rebels, he will definitely fall into a battle to the death, and when the people are tired and exhausted, that is, the moment of destruction.

Han Jinluo went out of the city, there was no danger, although after being besieged, after Shan Xiongxin retreated to the west bank of Zhongchuan Shui, he was pessimistic for a while, suspecting that he was calculated by Li Fengyun, suspecting that Li Fengyun was going to put himself to death, and even was ready to use all means to persist after the food was eaten, but fortunately, after only one night, the reinforcements were killed under the city, and in turn the official army was defeated and retreated.

The battle situation changed too quickly, and Han Jinluo was dazzled, so after going out of the city to see Zhen Baoche, he first inquired about what had happened in just a few hours.

Zhen Baoche was very angry, and scolded Meng Haigong, Shuai Rentai and other handsome men to the blood, they were all a group of shameless villains who did not save them when they saw death, and they made it clear that they wanted to put Han Jinluo to death and destroy the Jibei system in the alliance, but fortunately, Li Fengyun was still righteous, at least he did not show an ugly "eating appearance" on the bright side, and the words were quite beautiful, and things were done impeccably.

On the one hand, it can be understood that Zhang Xutuo did not take the righteous army in his eyes at all, on the other hand, it also shows Zhang Xutuo's unique personality charm, the reason why the soldiers of the Qi army are loyal to him and are willing to charge into battle for him is not only because he is willing to risk losing his head and open a warehouse to release grain without the consent of the Eastern Capital, but also because he is willing to live and die with the soldiers.

Zhang Xutuo caught the rebels off guard, and Shuai Rentai took the brunt of it, and was defeated by him, and the wolf ran away suddenly. If Shuai Rentai knew that he would have such a terrible catastrophe after one night, I am afraid that even if he fought hard, he would have to support Yuan An's first plan to rescue Han Jinluo, and join the heroes to fight Zhongchuan Water together, and fight to the death with Zhang Xutuo.

Han Jinluo laughed and gloated. Shuai Rentai moved a stone to hit his own feet, bringing disaster upon himself, well, this is a big injury to his vitality, with him and Huo Xiaobao as the Dongping system in the alliance suffered a heavy blow, although it will not collapse, but if you want to restore the strength of the past, it is absolutely impossible, not to mention that the heroes will take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the ground, Li Fengyun will not give him the opportunity to "revive his majesty".

Zhen Baoche also secretly called luck, if the battle situation is as he imagined, the prospects of the Jibei system are very bleak this time, how could he expect that the shape of the system will be subverted overnight, the Jibei system is not only unharmed, but the shape of the Dongping system has been fatally hit. The Ninth Army and the Tenth Army are the foundation of the Dongping system, and now they have collapsed, scattered in a hurry, died and fled, and then even if they are re-absorbed, it is estimated that they can only make up enough army, and Shuai Rentai's position as the head of the army is definitely not guaranteed, Huo Xiaohan has no choice but to leave the inner house and "go back" to support the overall situation, so that Li Fengyun will take back the command of the hussar army without much effort, if Li Fengyun takes the opportunity to take back the number of the ninth or tenth army, then the Dongping department is really a heavy loss, and there are no tears to cry.

"This is a lesson丨" Zhen Baoche was on crutches, his expression was cold, and he said to Han Jinluo very unceremoniously, "If Zhang Xutuo confronts us across the river, you can't hold out in Shagou City for a few days, the two armies will be buried here, and your head will also be hung on the city wall by Zhang Xutuo, and at that time, it will be us Jibei people who will cry bitterly, not Dongping people." ”

Han Jinluo was extremely embarrassed and silent.

"Strength does not fall from the sky, nor does it come from calculation and deception, but is cut out with a knife." Zhen Baoche's voice was fierce, hating iron but not steel, "Look at Bai Shuai, how many people did he have at the beginning of our alliance?" How much stronger than us? But what about now? How big is the gap between them? What is the reason that you don't want to think about? If you are complacent, do not want to forge ahead, and continue like this, Dongping people's today is our Jibei people's tomorrow, and sooner or later Jibei people will repeat the mistakes of Dongping people. ”

Han Jinluo was unhappy, thinking that Zhen Baoche had said it, was it because he had been in the inner mansion for a long time and was "brainwashed" by Li Fengyun?

Zhen Baoche also felt that he was too "heavy", but he really didn't agree with some of Han Jinluo's practices, which were harmful to the growth of the 11th and 12th armies, and would eventually damage his own interests, so he Zheng rebuilt yì and said, "If you can't accept a certain opinion, let's change it, you go to the inner government to lead the tiger ben, and a certain to the outer government to lead the army, how about it?" ”

Zhen Baoche This is a "showdown", Han Jinluo suddenly had a sense of crisis, the two have the same interests in the alliance, if the two are infighting and brothers are in a wall, then what else can they use to compete for power and profit with Li Fengyun? Han Jinluo immediately compromised and made concessions without hesitation.

Han Jinluo ordered that the 11th and 12th armies immediately leave the city, cooperate with the tiger and hussar armies, and do their best to encircle and kill the officers and soldiers.

Li Fengyun was unable to support under the front and rear attacks of the official army, so he had to temporarily avoid the edge and let Qin Qiong and Zhang Xutuo meet.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was high, and under the command of Zhang Xutuo, they turned around and went to Zhongchuan Shui to kill.

Li Fengyun commanded the Fengyun army to follow and kill, and more than 3,000 elite soldiers of 16 regiments were overwhelming like wolves and tigers, looking down from the sky, like an eagle with wings spreading its wings soaring above the nine heavens, roaring all the way to its prey, unstoppable.

And the "prey" has no intention of fighting, they have just escaped from Changqing City, and have not yet escaped from the encirclement of the rebels, at this time their first thought is not to stop and fight, not to fight to the death with the traitors, but to break out of the encirclement and kill a way out.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin each led a group of elite troops to break the rear and arrived desperately, and Fan Hu and Cheng Zhijie each led the main forces to follow closely behind the reinforcements and rushed forward.

Zhang Xutuo still rushed to the front, covered in blood, fighting fiercely, and moving forward. The officers and men under the command of Jia Yunfu, Tang Wanren and other regimental commanders burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness and launched the most fierce attacks.

Meng Haigong's 6th and 7th regiments came out from the flank of the official army, and they tried to tear apart the battle formation of the official army, divide the official army, and then use the advantage of the strength of the army to break each one.

Shan Xiongxin's 17th Army also launched an attack on the flank of the official army, and the Wagang people, led by Shan Xiongxin, stormed Jia Yanfu's department, intending to cut off his battle formation, and then cut off his connection with the front Zhang Xutuo

Cao Kun commanded the Second Army of the Alliance to block head-on and fought a bloody battle with Zhang Xutuo's personal guard team. The heavy battle formations of the Second Army were like solid rocks, standing still under the continuous blows of the turbulent waves, and Zhang Xutuo exploded, and his personal guard team went crazy, and the bigger, more fierce and more powerful "waves" went forward one after another, endlessly, smashing on the "rock" one after another, with a shocking roar and a sound that shook the world.

On the east and west banks of Zhongchuan Shui, Li Fengyun's alliance army and Zhang Xutuo's Qi County official army launched a bloody and fierce battle.

On the east bank, Jia Wuben held a battle against the water, and the 2,000 officers and troops were like an iron-clad turtle, lying in the valley with their heads shrunk, allowing the four armies of the alliance to "bomb indiscriminately" around it, while the four armies of the alliance had more than 15,000 people, and all the regiments and brigades were all crowded into a narrow battlefield, huddled together, unable to show their formation at all, and could not show the advantage of being outnumbered, and they did not make any progress after fighting for a long time, but fell into passivity.

In desperation, Zhen Baoche built yì, Han Jinluo withdrew from the battlefield on the east bank, led the 11th and 12th armies to cross the Zhongchuan River, formed a formation on the west bank of the Zhongchuan River, blocked Zhang Xutuo, and cooperated with other armies of the alliance to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xutuo, while the official army on the east bank of the Zhongchuan River was attacked and killed by the Tiger Ben Army and the Hussar Army. With about 7,000 elite alliances to besiege and kill an "iron-shelled turtle" in the official army, Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan are full of confidence and absolutely sure.

However, this construction was in conflict with Li Fengyun's order, which was that after defeating the official army on the east bank of Zhongchuan and relieving the siege of Shagou, Hu Ben and Hussar cooperated with Han Jinluo to set up a formation on the east bank to block Zhang Xutuo and prevent Zhang Xutuo from crossing the river, so as to give the other armies of the alliance enough time to besiege and kill Zhang Xutuo.

Han Jinluo therefore questioned that it was most appropriate to place the army on the east bank of Zhongchuan River, which did not violate Li Fengyun's orders, and could provide strong support to the Hu Ben and hussars to besiege and kill the officers and troops on the east bank. Zhen Baoche secretly sighed, on the surface, Han Jinluo was reasonable, but in fact, he was still selfish, and he was still bent on preserving his strength, unwilling to kill the enemy in this big battle, just wanting to get and unwilling to pay, how could such a mind succeed

Zhen Baoche persuaded bitterly, when Bai Shuai gave the order, he didn't know that Zhang Xutuo would do his best to rescue the trapped officers and troops in Changqing City, and he didn't know that Zhang Xutuo only left a small number of troops on the east bank of Zhongchuan Shui, but now the battle situation is basically clear, the key to the victory or defeat of today's battle is on the west bank of Zhongchuan Shui, and the alliance should throw all its forces into the West Bank battlefield, so you should enter the West Bank battlefield to fight.

The implication is that this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and with merit you will have the capital to expand your strength, and only with strength can you compete with Li Fengyun, and you should rise to the occasion, not retreat from it.

However, Han Jinluo's unthinking rebuttal made Zhen Baoche speechless and depressed.

"According to what you said, as the main force of the alliance, you and General Manager Huo should cross the river and enter the battlefield on the east bank at this moment, so that we can have a greater certainty of encircling and destroying Zhang Xutuo, and the remnants of the enemy on the east bank can be handed over to so-and-so." Han Jinluo waved his hand, full of pride, "A certain 8,000 soldiers will sweep away the remnants of the enemy with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying." ”

Huo Xiaohan was furious. Shuai Rentai's Ninth and Tenth Armies have been defeated, and the Dongping Department urgently needs to make contributions to reverse the trend, and the reason why Zhen Baoche ⊥ Han Jinluo to cross the river and enter the battlefield on the east bank to besiege and kill Zhang Xutuo is to give Huo Xiaohan a chance to make meritorious contributions and give Dongping a favor.

Zhen Baoche still needs to be persuaded again, Huo Xiaohan categorically stopped, "Zhen Shuai, I have made a note of your favor, you and I will immediately cross the river to besiege and kill Zhang Xutuo, and the remnants of the enemy in front of me will be handed over to Manager Han to clean up." ”

Zhen Baoche was very embarrassed, and Han Jinluo was triumphant.

Huo Xiaohan was furious, and immediately ordered the hussars to withdraw from the battle and cross the river into the east bank battlefield. Zhen Baoche had no choice but to follow Huo Xiaohan's plan, ordered the Tiger Ben Army to withdraw from the battle, and flew to the east bank after the Hussars.

Jia Wuben's "Turtle Formation" was already in danger, but who knew that the battle situation suddenly changed, and the elite of the rebel army, which had beaten the "Turtle Formation" to a bruiser, suddenly withdrew, which not only gave the officers and troops time to breathe, but also gave the officers and troops a chance to reverse the crisis.

After the two armies of the tiger and hussars withdrew, Han Jinluo commanded the eleventh and twelfth armies to attack again, he thought that it was easy to encircle and kill the remnants of the enemy in front of him, and it was easy to do so, but the "turtle formation" at this moment was no longer the previous "turtle formation", but the dragon formation with the "turtle shell", Jia Wu was going to fight back, anyway, it was all death, it was better to fight, and he had to pull a cushion when he died.

On the west bank, Zhang Xutuo fell into the encirclement of the alliance army, but Zhang Xutuo had six or seven thousand men and horses, Li Fengyun wanted to "eat" the official army with less than 20,000 people, the difficulty was too great, the result was either a miserable victory, killing 1,000 enemies, and losing 800 self-inflicted losses.

Li Fengyun ordered to surround Zhang Xutuo first, as long as Zhang Xutuo was trapped on the east bank of Zhongchuan Shui, the alliance would always have a chance to besiege him. To this end, Zhang Xutuo urged Lu Xingxing, who was rushing from the Shengcheng battlefield, to speed up the progress of the march and immediately throw the first, third, fourth, and fifth armies of the alliance into the Zhongchuan Water Battlefield; He also ordered Xu Shiren to rush back to the battlefield immediately, otherwise military law would be involved; He also ordered Shuai Rentai to collect the deserters as quickly as possible, reorganize the army, and if he could return to the battlefield before dark, the merits and demerits would be offset and the crime of defeat would not be pursued.

For the officers and soldiers, time is life, the sooner they get out of the encirclement, the greater the vitality, otherwise, they will definitely die, because they have no reinforcements, no supplies of food, grass and weapons, and the body of the soldiers is limited, even if they are fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, it is impossible to kill from morning to night, so Zhang Xutuo's order to his subordinates is very simple, kill, keep killing forward, don't stop, once you stop, death is close at hand.

The officers and soldiers are in a desperate situation, and they can only fight to the death, the soldiers are united, and they are indomitable, their morale is getting stronger and stronger, and the sound of killing is getting louder and louder, and they are gradually unstoppable, and those who stand in the way are invincible.

The alliance takes the initiative, but there are too many enemies, too strong, too fierce, and the dog jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry, not to mention the officers and soldiers who are in the middle of death? Therefore, in a hurry, "I can't eat", I can only do my best to encircle, I can only wait for more friendly troops to enter the battlefield, I can only increase my advantage little by little in the continuation of time, and wait until the advantage expands to a certain extent, then the victory is in my hands, so the psychology of the soldiers of the rebel army has changed unconsciously, since this battle is definitely going to win, why do I have to do my best? If I die, what does victory mean to me? If my army's losses are too great, will the victory in this battle make up for my losses? If I can't make amends, how does that make the difference between that and if I lose the battle?

Therefore, some people cherish their lives, and some people preserve their strength; As a result, there are fewer and fewer people fighting for their lives, and fewer and fewer regiments and brigades are attacking fiercely at any cost; As a result, the resistance of the officers and troops to break through became less and less, while the pressure of the rebels to encircle them became greater and greater.

Xu Shiren's Thirteenth Army withdrew too quickly, and when he received Li Fengyun's order to return to the battlefield, his pace of advance was too slow, and as a result, the Thirteenth Army was delayed.

Lu Xingxing's support is very fast, but the battle situation changes faster. When Lu Xingxing received Li Fengyun's order to support the Zhongchuan Water Battlefield, the four armies under his command immediately evacuated the Shengcheng Battlefield, and 100,000 people rushed to Zhongchuan Shui, but on the way they met deserters, the deserters of the Ninth and Tenth Armies of the Alliance, and they got completely different messages from the mouths of the deserters, although these erroneous messages could not affect the senior officers of the various armies, but Yan zhòng affected the ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers, and affected the morale of the army.

The friendly forces on the battlefield ahead have been defeated, what are we going to support? The officers and troops are so strong, if we go to reverse the situation, won't we fight bloody battles? Since it was unprofitable, the commanders had no motivation, and since their lives were in danger, the ordinary soldiers were panicked, so the pace of advance was naturally slow.

When the battle situation changed again, when Li Fengyun urged repeatedly, the four armies under Lu Xingxing's command accelerated their pace again, but the fighters had already been delayed, and before they could reach Changqing City, the battle situation changed again, Han Jinluo on the battlefield on the east bank of Zhongchuan Water was defeated by the officers and troops surrounded by his own regiments, and it was an unbelievable defeat, and this defeat directly led to a subversive change in the battle situation.

Jia Wuben's "Panlong Array" is like a python coiled together, and it looks like an "iron-shelled turtle" from a distance, but when you rush forward defenselessly, the python's lightning attack will inevitably be a fatal blow. Han Jinluo was dealt a fatal blow by Jia Wuben, and the elite regimental brigade he sent out to charge was devastated.

Suddenly, Han Jin was stunned, he didn't know why such an incredible thing happened, and he didn't know how to deal with the crisis he faced after the huge loss of strength. Han Jinluo was stunned, at a loss, and his subordinates were also stunned, the good situation was overturned in an instant, leaving them stunned and helpless at the same time. This is the evil result of the lack of tempering in actual combat, and at the critical juncture, the officers and soldiers did not know how to deal with the situation, and as a result, the fighters were delayed one after another, and the crisis instantly swelled to the extreme, and the situation was one-sided, and then it was out of control, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and collapsed.

Han Jinluo's collapse dealt a fatal blow to the alliance army on the east coast battlefield, and two consecutive defeats not only hit the morale of the alliance army, but also hit the confidence of the alliance soldiers.

Cao Kun's second army was defeated and retreated, the battle formation was broken, and it was unable to hold on.

Huo Xiaohan's hussars were defeated and retreated, he couldn't stop it, and he was even more unwilling to fight for both defeats.

Zhen Baoche's tiger army was defeated and retreated, the general trend has gone, and it is impossible for him alone, an army, to block Zhang Xutuo.

So, Zhang Xutuo broke through, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin broke through, and the officers and soldiers who fought side by side with them broke through.
