Chapter 82: The Flooding of the Seventh Army

At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, the heat was unbearable, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army could not attack for a long time, and the weather was hot, the soldiers were gradually a little relaxed, Guo Yan had already felt that the situation was not good, his soldiers failed to attack the city several times, he was helpless, and was about to order the withdrawal of the troops, but he saw three clusters of wolf smoke lit in the city, at this time there was no wind everywhere, and three black wolf smoke went straight into the sky, which was very eye-catching.

Guo Yan's heart tightened, and he had an ominous feeling, and Niu Fu, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke at this time: "General Guo, the enemy army lit wolf smoke, it must be a kind of code, the morale of our army is not high, in order to be safe, it is better to withdraw troops for the time being and think about it in the long run." ”

Although Guo Yan is the main general of the Eastern Crusade, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and his status is faintly higher than him, so Niu Fu's words are not easy for him to refuse directly, and it is useless to attack again at this time, the siege equipment of the army has long been destroyed, and he is no longer able to attack again, so Guo Yan immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

"Bell, bell, bell!"

A rapid sound of gold spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army quickly began to retreat when they heard the sound, and the moat of Yangzhai City was connected to Yingshui, so it seemed relatively wide, but the moat in front of the Xiliang Army at this time was like a small mud ditch, which could be crossed by a wooden plank.

And just when the army was rapidly retreating, suddenly there was a loud sound in the distance, and for a while, everyone was stunned, they felt that the earth was trembling slightly, and some people reacted instantly, shouting: "Enemy attack!" ”

However, what the soldiers saw was not a surging enemy, but a wall of water that was like a wall that was carrying the power of destroying the world.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army were in a mess for a while, and everyone was shocked, even Guo Yan and Niu Fu were so frightened that they didn't even have time to think about where the flood came from?

"Boom!"

The surging flood was like a large rushing cavalry, and suddenly hit the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, under the huge impact, the soldiers were like a duckweed in the vast ocean, and they were washed away at once, and the menacing flood was unabated, and it made a loud noise again, and hit the wall of Yangzhai City fiercely, and the waves that rebounded back slapped many desperately struggling Xiliang soldiers into the water.

Guo Yan and Niu Fu stood far away, so they were spared, and the two of them looked back with trepidation, only to see that the entire battlefield was in a mess at this time, with floating flags and weapon wreckage everywhere, as well as nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were still struggling.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw deep fear in each other's eyes, the position where their army was just now turned into an ocean in an instant, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army lost most of them, and the number of people who followed them at this time was not more than 3,000.

There was another sound on the ground, Guo Yan glanced back, and he was so frightened that thousands of cavalrymen in black armor rushed straight from behind them, and on the two wings of the cavalry, there was a semicircular formation composed of large chariots, and they were already surrounded.

At the same time, the water gate of Yangzhai City was wide open, and hundreds of warships of different sizes were drilled out of the water gate, they quickly interspersed into the battlefield, and fired bows and arrows and stone cannons from behind the Xiliang army, the Xiliang army was unstable at this time, and was attacked by the enemy on both sides, Guo Yan and Niu Fu where did they still have the heart to resist, they didn't care about their subordinates at this time, aimed at a weakly defended position of the enemy, and led the army to rush over, wanting to break out of the encirclement from here.

Xu Chu looked at the breakthrough of the Xiliang Army coldly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, wanting to break through from the chariot array announced by the master, the Xiliang Army was really overwhelmed.

Guo Yan saw this group of chariots from a distance, and thought it was just a simple chariot, but when he got closer, he found that these chariots were actually connected by iron cables, and there were several sharp spears facing the outside in front of the chariot, and the cavalry in front of the Xiliang Army stayed until they found that the situation was not right, and when they wanted to stop immediately, they were already late, the speed of the war horse was too fast, and the urging of the war horse behind made the soldiers in front of him even if they had strangled the war horse, but they still hit the spear on the chariot fiercely.

After a burst of terrible screams, a burst of throwing guns suddenly flew from behind the chariot, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were defenseless, and the distance was too close, so a large number of soldiers were poked to death by throwing guns at once.

This is not over, after the enemy soldiers threw their throwing guns, they began to push the chariot forward, and even the corpses of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army mounted on it moved forward little by little.

At this moment, the Xiliang army could only be forced to retreat, and Xu Chu's cavalry had already rushed behind them at this time.

The faster the speed, the stronger the impact of the cavalry, so the general cavalry chooses to accelerate when charging the formation, increase the speed of the war horse to the maximum in a short period of time, and then use huge kinetic energy to rush away from the opponent's formation.

Therefore, in order to increase the impact of the cavalry, in the case that the speed of the war horse can not continue to increase, the heavy cavalry appeared on the battlefield, compared to the light cavalry, the impact of the heavy cavalry is undoubtedly a qualitative improvement, they not only improved their own protection by wearing armor for knights and war horses, but also greatly improved the impact of the cavalry, after the appearance of the heavy cavalry, the cavalry fell into battle and charged more powerful.

At this time, whether it is the cavalry of the Xiliang Army or the cavalry of the Runan Army, both sides are typical light cavalry, but the Xiliang Army has a very big disadvantage, that is, their speed has stopped, and the cavalry is still limited to a small space, which is equivalent to using the cavalry as infantry, so when Xu Chu's 2,000 people rushed over, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army had no resistance at all.

There was no suspense in the battle, and it was immediately clear that the soldiers of the Xiliang Army had no way forward, and when they could not retreat, they could not resist the attack of the Runan Army at all, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the Xiliang Army suffered more than half of the casualties, Guo Yan and Niu Fu were both cut off by Xu Chu, and the remaining soldiers of the Xiliang Army had no backbone, so they could only surrender to the Runan Army, and at this time outside Yangzhai City, a large number of soldiers of the Xiliang Army were hooked on the boat one by one by the Runan Army on the warship, and then became the prisoners of the Runan Army.

On a high ground on the other side of the river, Liu Zhi and Guo Jia looked at the water country in front of them, but their faces were a little dignified.

"Fengxiao, you said that I took the lives of tens of thousands of people with a flood, is this really good?"

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Zhi and knew what he was thinking, "Lord, those who achieve great things are not informal, how can they have the kindness of a woman, most of the people killed today are people who should be killed, has the lord forgotten how the Xiliang Army treats the people of Luoyang and Chang'an?" ”
