October 12, Anju, west bank of the Buje water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the morning, Jingjiang Liujin Fei and Erzhu Tianxiao led more than 1,000 horsemen of the Thunder Fourth Army out of the mountains and forests and appeared on the avenue, which was only more than 30 miles away from Jinkou on the west bank of the lower reaches of Wulie Water, and was immediately discovered by the scouts of the Xi army who stayed in Jinkou.
However, not long after the Xi army scouts who rushed to Jinkou to report the news left, Meng Ba and Wo Ye rushed to the avenue with more than 3,000 control strings from the humiliating royal army, followed by the leopard cavalry led by Han Shige. The three armies marched in turn, along the avenue to kill Jinkou.
Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong, who stayed in Jinkou, were shocked when they received the news, and the first thing they thought of was that the Middle-earth army on the south bank of the river had crossed the river.
Although the scouts of the Xi army kept a very close eye on the confluence of Suotoushui and Weishui, lest the Middle-earth army quietly cross the river, the scouts of the Middle-earth army were dense in the mountains and forests, everywhere, and they killed the Xi army scouts at all, and did not let the Xi army scouts approach the confluence of the two rivers at all, so this expected result appeared.
The Xi army had already anticipated the possibility of the Middle-earth army on the south bank of the river crossing the river. As far as the current Wulie water war situation is concerned, the white wolf has led the army to withdraw to Fangcheng, and Ah Huizheng also led the main force of the Xi people to the north, if the Middle-earth army on the south bank of the river crosses the river to kill, it is a lone army to go deep, and it will fall into the front and rear of the Xi army, but this move of the Middle-earth army can threaten the security of Jinkou, and can cut off the retreat of the Xi army to force Ah Huizheng to divide his troops to return to Jinkou, and then effectively alleviate the heavy pressure of the Middle-earth army in the direction of Fangcheng, but this strategy is too risky, and the river-crossing army is in danger of being wiped out, and the risks and benefits are too different. Therefore, it is possible for the Middle-earth army on the south bank of the river to cross the river, but it is very unlikely.
Therefore, after Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong received the news, although they were surprised, but they did not panic, the two thought that the strength of the Middle Earth army that crossed the river was limited, and it was enough to deal with the three thousand Xi people left behind in Jinkou to control the strings, and the main army of Ah Huizheng and the Xi people was in Maogou River, more than 100 miles away, after receiving the news, the reinforcements galloped and galloped, and a few hours came, and there were three thousand control strings on the east bank of the Wulie River, which could be supported at any time, so the safety of Jinkou was absolutely guaranteed.
However, their idea was just wishful thinking, the truth was too cruel, and soon the scouts rushed to report, the enemy army was rapidly approaching Jinkou, and the number was huge, not only the Zhongtu horse infantry army, but also the control string of the humiliating royal department, at least nearly 10,000 horses, three times the number of troops left in Jinkou, the situation was extremely critical, and Jinkou was in danger.
Ah Changsheng was in disbelief, panicked, and looked at Feng Hong, who was pale, extremely shocked.
In the middle of the plan, who would have thought that the control strings of the humiliated royal department did not withdraw to Fangcheng, but quietly withdrew to the south bank of the water, and waited for the main force of the Xi people to go north, and then killed back, stabbed Ah Huizheng in the back, and put him to death. The development of the battle situation completely deviated from the original prediction, and now it was not the Middle-earth army that crossed the river that fell into the Xi army's flank, but Ah Huizheng and the main force of the Xi people fell into the encirclement of the Middle-earth army. The situation deteriorated abruptly, to the point of irreversibility.
"What's going to happen?" President Sheng asked eagerly.
"Fight, gather troops, and kill immediately!" Feng Hong said without thinking, "Don't defend passively, let alone fight with your back to the water, the enemy army is several times larger than me, once they tear up the battle formation and the whole line is defeated, we can only jump into the river and the whole army will be annihilated." ā
"The enemy army is several times larger than mine, how can I meet it?" President Ah was in a state of turmoil and yelled.
"There are few horses in China, mainly relying on the humiliation of the king's department, and the humiliation of the king's department to preserve their strength, will definitely not fight with us to lose both, so we just need to rush up, put on a desperate posture, and fight to the death with the humiliated king's department, the humiliated king's department will inevitably retreat, first avoid the edge, and then fight, so that the two sides are deadlocked, we can buy enough time for the reinforcements." Feng Hong explained unhurriedly, "As for the Middle-earth infantry army, at the moment of the fierce battle of the Ma army, it can only watch from a distance, and it does not dare to step forward at all, and it will not pose a fatal threat to us. However, if we retreat to Jinkou and give up the advantage of the horse army, we will attack the enemy with our own shortcomings, and give the Middle-earth infantry army the opportunity to take advantage of it, and we will definitely be defeated. ā
"Good! Assemble now to fight. President Sheng immediately ordered, "Ask for help from the east coast, and ask Gu Yushu to send troops to support immediately." Tell Guyushu that at this moment we must hold the Jinkou on the west bank and hold the retreat of the main army, otherwise the main army will inevitably be wiped out, and the Xi people will have the disaster of extinction. ā
"I also want to send someone to Maogou River immediately, ask the king to rush to help, and ask all the troops to retreat quickly, I am afraid that it will be too late." Feng Hong added, "Tell the king and all the tribes that the situation is extremely critical, and there is no room for the slightest hesitation, and withdraw at all costs, otherwise the Xi clan will be finished." ā
"Quick! Fast! Fast! President Sheng shouted frantically, "Ask for help!" Hurry up to the king! Fight now! ā
The big horn of "Woo Woo Woo" sounded, the war drums of "Dong Dong Dong" were beating, the people in the Jinkou camp shouted and neighed, the atmosphere was tense, and a team of strings whistled out, and the flags flew and were full of murderous spirit.
October 12, Anzhou, Maogou River.
Ah Hui was receiving the news, like thunder in the sky, suffocating, and his eyes were black for a while. The top priority is to preserve strength, and only by preserving strength can we win a glimmer of life.
At this moment, the Xi army is storming the high ground on both sides of the valley, thousands of troops are thrown up, like a tide, unstoppable, and the crossbowmen of the Middle Earth army on the mountain have all turned to the defense, and the soldiers on both sides are fighting bloodily, killing corpses all over the field, and it is difficult to separate.
However, the Xi army had no time, the Zhongtu horse army was coming from the rear, and Ah Huizheng had to give up the frontal feint and turn the horse's head with two thousand control strings to meet it. Just by this U-turn, the thousands of Middle-earth troops in the direction of Taniguchi can free up their hands to quickly support the high ground on both sides, so at this moment, even if the Xi army is in sight of victory on the hills on both sides, it is too late to pick the fruits of victory, not to mention that they are still far from victory at this moment.
Ah Hui made a quick decision and gave the order to retreat. Rather than spending your limited strength in worthless battles, it is better to retreat early and retain as much strength as possible.
Hundreds of horns sounded at the same time, hundreds of horns roared into the sky, and the signal of retreat spread all over the mountains.
The soldiers on both sides are fighting fiercely, the blood splashed and the corpses everywhere make them lose their minds and fall into madness, killing has become instinct, everyone is red-eyed, everyone is persistent, and they are all struggling helplessly on the edge of life and death. Suddenly, the Xi army collapsed, and the controlling wolf of the Xi clan rushed to the pig, grabbed the road and fled, "falling" like a tide, leaving a corpse on the ground.
Mo Hehuang, Chu Heyuan, Qi Heshan, and Ah Huibul were angry and furious, and rushed to Wang Qi from different directions, and the moment they saw Ah Huizheng, they all burst into tears and roared madly, "Why? Why withdraw? ā
Ah Huizheng's expression was cold, and he was also angry. It turned out that he was right, and his conservative strategy was the best way for the Xi people to survive, but now it was too late to say anything, this battle was lost, and the Xi people were left with only two ways, either the whole army was wiped out and the dead people were exterminated, or they surrendered, survived, and lived like dogs.
"I've been tricked." Ah Huizheng's voice was low, desperate, and lifeless, "We are encircled, our judgment of the situation is too optimistic, the reinforcements inside the Great Wall have already arrived, just waiting for us to jump into the trap and give us a fatal blow." ā
"Medium? Are we surrounded? Ahuimbul was taken aback, "We have enemy forces behind us?" ā
Ah Huizheng's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Li Yi hurriedly told the scout in detail, "The Middle-earth Horse Army is coming from the rear, and it is less than ten miles away from us. ā
"Scouts can find out? Could this be a suspicious ploy by the Middle-earthers? It was difficult for Chu Heyuan to accept the fact that Zhongji was surrounded, and questioned it sharply.
Ah Huizheng glanced at Chu Heyuan, and wanted to slash him with a knife, but the matter has come to this point, what problem can anger solve? Ah Huizheng closed his eyes in pain.
Li Yi was about to analyze and explain, when a scout rushed over, and urgently reported that thousands of Zhongtu infantry troops had been found in the rear of the Zhongtu Horse Army, and this infantry army had set up a blocking battle formation ten miles away from Maogou River. This confirms that the Xi army is indeed surrounded by the Middle-earth army.
Chu Heyuan, Mo Hehuang, Qi Heshan, and Ah Huibul stared at each other, looking at each other, and regretting it in their hearts, but what is the use of regret? The top priority at the moment is to break through the siege, to kill it at any cost, and to avoid the bad luck of the annihilation of the whole army.
"Break through, break through immediately, kill out!" Ah Huibu shouted at Ah Huizheng, "King, give the order quickly, quickly! ā
Ah Hui opened his eyes, and his cold gaze slowly swept over the faces of Chu Heyuan and the others, and then said, "This is a trap, the Middle-earth people have been planning for a long time, and they must calculate in every way, if nothing else, the enemy army on the south bank of the water has crossed the river, and is attacking Wulieshui at this moment, even if Jinkou is not lost, it is in danger, so we are not surrounded by the Middle-earthers in the Maogou River, but by them in the west of the Wulieshui, even if we break through at any cost, but under the siege and interception of the Middle-earthers, how can we cross the Wulieshui?" Taking a step back, even if we are lucky enough to cross the Wulie River and escape back to Sanhui City, how many men and horses will be left? How can we survive if we don't have the strength? ā
No one responded. The truth is too cruel, one wrong step, one wrong step, and there is no possibility of reversal.
"Your Majesty, this is the case, what will happen to you? Is it a breakout? Qi Geheshan asked eagerly, "The army has been chaotic, the morale has been lost, stay here, you will definitely die." ā
"Save your strength, save the army, and let the soldiers live, otherwise the Xi clan will be finished, and the clan will be wiped out." Ah Huizheng said without hesitation, "My decision is to stay here, form a formation, and surrender to the Middle-earthers. ā
The four chiefs looked at each other, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
"King, break through, there is still a glimmer of life in the breakthrough." Ahuibul was furious, pointed to the soldiers around and shouted, "The people of Middle-earth will not let us go, and the white wolf will take revenge, and if you surrender, you will die." ā
