Chapter 153: The Turmoil of the He Clan (35)
Taking advantage of the fierce offensive, the Yu clan's sharp-spear phalanx slowly pressed towards a gentle slope, getting closer and closer to the Wu clan's phalanx.
The sense of urgency in the hearts of the Wu soldiers became more and more obvious, and soon, the sense of urgency turned into fear of the Yu Clan's sharpshooter phalanx.
Finally, the defensive phalanx of the Wu clan was about to collapse, and some soldiers began to flee backwards without being able to bear the pressure. After Wu Tingzhen successively cut down several soldiers who wanted to escape, the Wu clan's defensive phalanx barely remained stable.
"Those who dare to take a step back will be killed immediately!" Wu Tingzhen's eyes were red, and the horizontal knife blocked behind the military formation.
Generals with a little combat experience understand that once the rout and flight becomes an inevitable trend, the rout will be irreversible.
This battle is related to the rise and fall of the Wu clan in the future, Wu Ting was shocked to see that the future of the entire Wu clan was pressed, the Wu clan could not afford to lose, and the Wu clan could not lose. If this battle is lost, the Wu clan will really not even be able to do it as a second-class family in Liaodong. Wu Tingzhen is desperate and determined to win this battle.
Wu Tingzhen was waiting, and the soldiers of the Wu clan were waiting hard, waiting for the gunpowder of the sharpshooters of the Yu clan to run out and extinguish the fire. As long as it waits until that moment, the battle situation will take a turn for the better, and the soldiers of the Yu clan who have lost things to rely on will have their combat effectiveness greatly reduced, and the Wu clan will be able to redeem their defeat!
The Yu people's sharp-spear phalanx is already less than fifty steps away from the Wu people's defensive phalanx, and as long as the Yu people's soldiers hold on to their firepower for a while, they can meet with the soldiers on the Wu people's defense phalanx, start a white-knuckle battle, completely defeat the Wu people's soldiers, and succeed.
The balance of victory is on the side of the Yu soldiers, and it seems that they are already beckoning to the Yu soldiers. Yu Yansong's heart was surging, and it seemed that victory was just around the corner.
At this critical moment, the sharpshooter in the hands of the Yu Clan's sharpshooter was invariably dumbfounded. The Yu soldiers touched the gunpowder bags on their bodies, only to find that their gunpowder had been exhausted. Their powder magazines had been burned down in the sneak attack before they entered Gaizhou, and they had no gunpowder replenishment.
Yu Yansong was so angry that he ordered the whole army to charge. A distance of about fifty paces is a victory.
The sound of the Yu tribe's sharpshooter phalanx stopped abruptly, and the Wu soldiers stabilized as if they had taken a reassuring pill. The soldiers of the Wu nationality seized the opportunity, took advantage of the situation to fight back, and picked up all kinds of long-range strike weapons in their hands to fiercely return fire at the soldiers of the Yu nationality.
The soldiers of the Yu tribe were beaten by the fierce fire of the Wu defense phalanx, and with the fire splashing down one after another, the Liao army fell like harvested leeks.
Without gunpowder, the spear in the hands of the Yu soldiers was a burning stick, and the Yu soldiers could only be beaten passively without the power to fight back. Yu Yansong could only watch the pieces of Yu soldiers fall, and every time a piece of Yu soldiers fell, Yu Yansong's heart twitched. These soldiers are the essence of the Yu clan.
At this rate of casualties, when this battle is over, the Yu clan's lost vitality will not be able to recover for a few years.
"Retreat! Retreat! ”
Yu Yansong had no choice but to give the order to retreat, and if he continued to fight like this, he would beat all these elite soldiers of the Yu clan, even if he won, the Yu family would lose the right to speak in Liao. Yu Yansong was too stupid to take the lives of these precious soldiers.
The soldiers of the Yu clan retreated like a tide, their faces were gloomy, Yu Yansong was defeated, and the next battle had to be carried by the Liao army. The combat effectiveness of the Zhao army on the gentle slope should not be underestimated, which was already seen in the first wave of attacks. Coupled with the fact that Zhao Jun occupies a favorable position, this battle can be a real headache.
Yu Yansong's troops all retreated, and the Liao army was embarrassed to be compressed in a narrow corridor. Even though the Liao army's iron cavalry can gallop through Liaodong and is invincible in the world, at this moment, the advantage of the Liao army's iron cavalry cannot be exerted, but the Wu soldiers on the gentle slope can't be used.
Although the Wu people said that they won a temporary victory, for this victory, the Wu people also paid a huge price of casualties, the Wu soldiers were killed as high as 4,000, and countless people were wounded. After paying such a huge price in casualties, the Wu people were powerless to beat the water dogs.
The only thing the Wu soldiers could do was to add wounds on the spot and rest. Compress the remaining Liao army on the narrow road, wait for Peng Chaodong's Qin army to come, and gnaw this piece of meat together. Wu Tingzhen is still self-aware, such a large piece of meat is not something that his more than 10,000 remnants of the army can eat now. At present, the only one in Liaodong who can eat the remnants of the Liao army of thirty or forty thousand in one go is the Qin army.
The Liao army did not give up and was compressed on the narrow road to die, and Wanyan Fushen organized several death squads to break through. Helplessly, the various exits were blocked by the Wu soldiers, and at the important exits, the Wu soldiers even used bed crossbows, artillery and other heavy weapons to blockade them, and the Liao army had no chance to break through at all.
A ridiculous scene appeared in the history of the Zhao Liao War, and more than 30,000 remnants of the Liao army were besieged by more than 10,000 Zhao troops. This is unimaginable in the history of warfare in the past, and it is already thankful that the Zhao army, which is twice the size of the Liao army, can fight on an equal footing with the Liao army. Who would have dared to imagine that more than 30,000 Liao troops would be surrounded by more than 10,000 Zhao troops in the field?
For the first time in his life, he felt discouraged. Zhenyuan thirteen years of the southern expedition to Gaizhou failed, at that time he tasted a long-lost sense of defeat, this feeling is at most frustrating, not a discouragement, after all, after the war, the main force of the southern army did not break the bones, most of them withdrew to the territory of Liao. And this time, I am afraid that the lives of the 50,000 Liao State conquest troops will be explained here.
Wanyan is cautious and Yu Yansong. The commander and deputy marshal of the second Liao expedition to the south looked at each other speechlessly, with their hair scattered, and sat on the ground dejectedly.
The elite of the 50,000 Qin army arrived, and the opportunity to rest with a face seemed to be deprived of the face of Fu Shen and Yu Yansong. Looking at the morale-filled and energetic Qin army rushing towards them like a tiger and wolf, the Liao army finally despaired.
Wan Yan stood up cautiously and heavily, stepped on his war horse, and gave a death order: all the soldiers broke through to the north at all costs.
Yu Yansong's Yu soldiers also followed the Liao army to break through to the north.
Where did Qin Jun let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs? It is very difficult to obtain a head of the Liao army on weekdays. However, the head of the Liao army is the most valuable, and the head of a real Liao army is worth forty taels of silver, which is equivalent to the income of a town army for four years. Now that it is easier to get the first level of the Liao army, how can the Qin soldiers let go of this opportunity?
Unlike the army that fought in the Great Zhao in the past, which picked soft persimmons and pinched them, this time, the Qin soldiers chose the heads of the Liao soldiers to chop and pinch hard persimmons. The head of a Liao army is forty taels of silver, while the head of an ordinary Yu private soldier is only worth five taels of silver, and in comparison, the head of a Yu soldier is too worthless.
