Chapter 152: Confluence
The routed army did not stop, stepping on the corpses of the enemy and continuing to press towards the rout, and the fleeing rout soldiers saw that the officers and soldiers were still continuing to pursue and kill, and ran desperately towards the west.
Tens of thousands of rout soldiers were like locusts crossing the border, and all the rogues along the way were engulfed in it, and as the rout got closer and closer to He Jin, even Zhang Miao's hand, who was besieging the city, was unknowingly dispersed by the rout. The besieging rogues also fled with the rout. The Broken Army didn't even need to send people to attack, just follow up along the way, and the enemy army in front of them would collapse without a fight!
Liu Neng didn't know what psychology he was in, he didn't send someone to inform Zhang Miaoshou when he fled, when Zhang Miaoshou reacted, it was too late to escape, there were routs everywhere, Zhang Miaoshou took his own headquarters to slash and kill the routs in front of him, it still had no effect, and he was still slowed down to escape.
Song Cheng, who was holding on to the town, saw the situation in front of him and immediately made a decision, immediately assembled a team, and led nearly 3,000 people from the third battalion out of the city to intercept the Liukou. Song Cheng had a clear goal, ignored the large number of rogue routs, and led people to kill Zhang Miao's hand directly, vowing to leave him behind to avenge today's siege.
The entire town of Hejin was full of people, and there were battles everywhere. Liu Fan approached with a large group of men and horses in the back, and Song Cheng led his headquarters to intercept in front. Therefore, the speed of the Broken Army has not been slowed down, but its speed has increased. In contrast, it didn't take long for the Breaker Army to catch up with Zhang Miaoshou's horse team.
The cruising cavalry played a role at the critical moment, launched an attack from the flank, and quickly killed Zhang Miao, who was "deeply encircled". Zhang Miaoshou, who was in a hurry to escape, had no fighting spirit, because he was afraid of being caught up by the official army, so he blindly only cared about escaping, and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the horse team of more than 1,000 people was killed by the cavalry team of less than 500 people. When the cavalry team and Zhang Miaoshou were entangled, Song Chengbu arrived in time, and the "brave" three battalions, worthy of Liu Fan's personal name, marched at high speed, and even launched an attack on the enemy without a queue, and in an instant, the gunfire rang out, and the three battalions with hatred and anger rushed into the horse team of the Liukou, and the spear stabbed, and the enemy knights who had no time to dodge were stabbed by the spears, and the spear heads came out of the body, bringing out a puddle of blood, and the knights died instantly.
In a moment, the army was able to break through the siege and trap more than 1,000 people in Zhang Miao's hands. Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the rogues were aroused to be ferocious, and their combat effectiveness increased greatly. Zhang Miao's hands were covered in blood, and he slashed the besieging soldiers to death with one sword, and roared loudly, "Killing one is enough, killing two is earning!" The brethren fought with these dogs! Kill! After Zhang Miaoshou shouted, the rogues worked even harder, almost giving up and letting go, and fighting for their lives! The casualties of the Breaker soldiers suddenly increased.
And Liu Fan, who was chasing behind, also led people to arrive, surrounded by layers, even if the rogues fought hard it still didn't have much effect, the firecrackers in the rear opened fire one after another, and the rogues in the encirclement were killed without reacting at all, and only a quarter of an hour after the gunshots rang out, the battle was basically over, except for a small number of rogues who surrendered, the rest were killed. Even Zhang Miaoshou was hit by several bullets in his body, causing hatred on the spot.
Zhang Miaoshou's death also indicates that the rogues have been defeated, except for Liu Neng, who fled early, the rest are some homeless people who have no will to resist, Liu Fan saw that the overall situation had been decided, and announced that he would surrender and not kill in a timely manner! As the shouts of the captive army "surrender and avoid death" spread throughout the battlefield, the desperate rout soldiers surrendered on their knees.
Accepting the prisoners and counting the results, the battle ended with the complete victory of the Broken Army, which defeated as many as 50,000 rogues with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, killed the leader of the Rogues Zhang Miaoshou, and captured nearly 40,000 Rogues, which can be said to be a great victory. At the same time, the victory in this battle also increased the confidence of the soldiers of the Broken Army, and after this test of blood and fire, the Broken Army officially became a combatable army.
After the battle, Song Cheng brought people to Liu Fan, and after meeting, Song Chengcheng said ashamedly, "Handsome!" The lowly post has the trust and trust of the marshal, failed to complete the task assigned by the marshal, but was surrounded by the enemy, and had to bother the marshal to come in person, and the humiliation implored the marshal to punish him! ”
Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "Ah Cheng doesn't have to blame himself!" It's not your fault! I didn't expect these rogues to be so bold that they would dare to attack my 20,000-strong army under such circumstances! Not only you, but even the first and second battalions are now surrounded by rogues! Now the situation is critical! I order you to quickly clean up the battlefield, we will march overnight and rush to Yangyi for reinforcements! ”
Song Cheng was surprised: "Even the first battalion and the second battalion are surrounded? These thieves have a lot of appetite! Do they want to swallow our army of 20,000 in one gulp? Is it true that when we break the army, we are muddy? I'm not afraid of breaking my teeth! ”
Liu Fan nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case!" And didn't you find out? In fact, the elite combat effectiveness of the Liukou headquarters is still very strong! And most of the elite of the rogue are horse teams, with high mobility, very good at small-scale combat, and long-distance running, at least under the same circumstances, our captive army does not dare to win easily! And if today's battle hadn't been dragged down by the coerced rogues, we wouldn't have even been able to kill Zhang Miao! ”
Song Cheng nodded and said, "Yes! Dashuai is right, these rogues still have some combat effectiveness! At the very least, it is much stronger than Liu Zeqing's people, if the adults don't come, I'm afraid that our 3,000 people will be attacked in less than ten days when we are surrounded in this town! ”
Liu Fan nodded and said, "Hmm! It's good that you can see yourself and see the enemy clearly! Only by learning from the battle can you constantly improve yourself and strengthen yourself! Okay, let's not talk about that! You go and get ready first! Let's go in an hour! ”
Song Cheng commanded, "It's a big handsome!" After finishing speaking, he bowed to Liu Fan and left!
After Song Cheng left, Liu Fan said to Sun Liang: "Send a thousand people to guard the prisoners, and the rest of them will hurry up and repair, bury the pot and make food, and we will set off after the soldiers are full!" Now the situation is critical, and the situation in Yangyi is probably not optimistic! We don't have time to go on here! ”
Sun Liang hesitated a little when he heard this, and said, "Handsome! Is there a little less to send a thousand men to guard the prisoners? After all, it's 40,000 people! If a rogue comes to intercept the camp, I'm afraid it's dangerous! ”
Liu Fan frowned and said, "That's true!" But now I can't care so much! You send someone to tell the officers who stay behind to leave the prisoners alone if things don't go well! Withdraw to He Jin first and wait for reinforcements! ”
Sun Liang didn't have any good way, since Liu Fan had decided, he had no choice but to take the order to go down and make arrangements!
An hour later, the repair of the Broken Army was completed, and Liu Fan gave an order, and the Broken Army took advantage of the night to set off and rushed to Yangyi overnight. (To be continued.) )
