Chapter 2030: Collapse

Kou Ying's heart was cold, and Xu Chang's heart was not hot at this time.

The fire spread in an instant by the wind, and a large number of soldiers rushed down the hill from the east, but the men shouted and the horses shouted, and it was a disarray, and if it was in the wilderness, these cavalry would naturally be in danger, and as long as there was a little space, they could quickly re-array.

The cavalry is a pure field army, and has not been trained in mountain warfare, even if it is a small mountain like Huangling, the Liaodong cavalry is trapped in it, and it is besieged by fire, but it is also a little helpless for a while.

Although some of the soldiers rushed through the fire to the foot of the mountain, they were met with a flurry of arrows.

Xu Chang had already thoroughly understood at this time that the Northwest Army had already been prepared, and continuing to rush to the east at this time would only increase casualties, and these cavalry were all trained with great difficulty, and they must not be sent to death in vain.

Previously, he saw that the situation on Kou Ying's side was tight, so he thought about rushing down the mountain to reinforce him, but the situation he was facing at this time was no longer about going down the mountain for reinforcements, but about how to keep the thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands.

The Liaodong soldiers on the mountain are slow to move, of course, because of the lack of mountain training, but the most important reason is because they are affected by the war horses, the war horses are besieged by the fire, they are frightened, and there are not a few war horses scurrying around, and there are many soldiers, the forest is dense, and the soldiers collide with each other, needless to say, once the war horses run up and hit the soldiers, it is even more people turn over on their backs.

"Leave the horses alone!" Xu Chang shouted loudly, "Go to the south, go down the mountain from the south." Xu Chang was sobered up at this critical juncture, but he also knew that there was a fire on the north, west and east, and only the fire in the south had not risen at this time, and the northwest cavalry had not been able to turn to the south, the cavalry was extremely fast, and the mountains were not big.

If you continue to pull the horses, I am afraid that the whole mountain will be burned and all the soldiers will not be able to descend to the foot of the mountain.

Compared with war horses, people are naturally the most important.

Zhao's face was extremely ugly at this time, and he wanted to raise his hand and slap himself several times.

It was his idea to retreat to Huangling, and judging from the situation at that time, it was also the best choice.

But at this moment, he realized that although it was very difficult for the Northwest Army to fight on the mountain, the other party had never thought of attacking the mountain from the beginning, and had already thought of a way to deal with the soldiers and horses on the mountain.

He had always thought that the dense forests on the mountain were a natural obstacle to the Northwest Army's attack on the mountain, but now it seemed that this was the most fatal flaw in the mountain.

Dead wood in winter is extremely flammable, but the other party also took advantage of such a flaw.

Although he was extremely annoyed, he did not have time to beat his mouth at the moment, and his subordinates were in a mess, and they had to rush down the mountain with this group of soldiers and horses who had fallen into chaos, and if they continued to stay on the mountain, they would probably be burned alive on the mountain.

Hearing Xu Chang and Zhao You's orders, the Liaodong soldiers could only turn to the south, but many people were reluctant to let them abandon their war horses.

In order to train a strong cavalry corps, the red refining electric has always been to let the cavalry under his command and the war horse compatible, people and horses eat and sleep together, the red refining electric is very clear, the horse has spirituality, people have emotions, people and horses live together for a long time, in order to be able to blend hearts, such a cavalry, in order to become a powerful cavalry with a combination of men and horses.

For cavalry, their own horses are like their brothers, and it is really unbearable to give them up in times of crisis.

Although many people still left their war horses, but there are still many people who still pull their war horses to the south, a large number of people move south, although the situation is critical, but the Liaodong soldiers are well-trained, but they do not scramble, but try to maintain order as much as possible.

The fire spread very quickly on the mountain, some of the soldiers who came down from the east did not have time to withdraw, fell into the sea of fire, could not advance or retreat, were burned to death in the flames, the miserable war horses neighed and the soldiers screamed, reached the ears of their companions, even if the Liaodong soldiers were frightened, they were angry.

Xu Chang was holding the knife at this time, and ran south with the soldiers, seeing that the fire in the south was not burning, his heart was a little calm, and he said loudly: "Everyone speed up, hurry down the mountain!" ”

At this time, it is naturally impossible for the Liaodong soldiers to maintain any neat formation, and it is not easy to fall into the chaos of scrambling, each shuttle down the mountain in the forest, some soldiers pull horses, move slowly, and see the fire behind them to keep up, and in desperation, they can only drop their horses with red eyes to escape.

The sound of fighting came from the east one after another, Xu Chang knew that the battle situation over there was extremely tragic, he knew that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry had encountered the most dangerous battle since the formation of the army, and he only hoped that Kou Ying and the main cavalry of Liaodong could hold on.

He knew very well that if he hadn't been bent on eating the two thousand northwest cavalry at that time, but had withdrawn his troops early according to the original plan, Kou Ying would not have led the main force to help, then Chu Huan's wishful thinking would not have worked, and the Liaodong Army would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation at the moment.

He felt quite ashamed in his heart, and he had already given birth to the heart of death, but he didn't want to be burned to death on the mountain, even if he wanted to die, he had to rush over and fight to the death with the Northwest Army.

When he was the first to rush to the foot of the mountain, he was slightly relieved, and there was a Liaodong soldier behind him who rushed down the mountain, but these who were the first to rush down the mountain were all abandoned their war horses and could only walk on foot, although they knew that they rushed to the main battlefield on foot like this, and faced the northwest cavalry with a lot of luck, but Xu Chang did not hesitate, with a gloomy face, holding a knife, and did not want to think about it, so he ran to the east, and the soldiers behind him followed, more and more soldiers rushed down from the mountain to follow behind, Xu Chang ran out of less than two or three miles, and nearly a thousand people were followed behind him.

At this moment, the horse neighed, the sound of horses' hooves, Xu Chang looked forward, and hundreds of northwest cavalry came on, galloping like a tiger, not yet close, already raising the saber, under the sun, the saber flashed with cold light.

Xu Chang clenched his knife tightly, his eyes widened angrily, but behind him, there were already soldiers rushing forward, forming several human walls in front of him.

The cavalry knows the power of the cavalry charge best, and the hundreds of horsemen who are coming on the front seem to be small, but once they rush over, the destructive power caused is definitely not weak.

At this moment, Xu Chang heard the sound of horses' hooves from behind, and then heard a shout from behind: "Everyone be careful, the northwest people are rushing from behind." ”

Zhao You, who was not far behind Xu Chang, showed a wry smile on his lips.

The Northwest Army is marching step by step, recruiting killers, and everything is in their calculations.

The Liaodong cavalry has now become the Liaodong infantry, while the northwest cavalry is still the northwest cavalry, and in the open area under this mountain, there is no chance of victory against the cavalry with infantry.

Zhao You also clenched the knife, he knew that it was already more than lucky, and now it might be his last battle.

"Whoa!"

The oncoming Northwest Iron Cavalry poured out like a flood, instantly breaking away several human walls lined up in front, and the snow bright sword had already been cut down with dripping killing intent

After all, the Liaodong cavalry still couldn't hold on.

There was no formation at all, and the Northwest Iron Cavalry equipped with chest mirrors galloped across all corners of the battlefield, the snowy scimitars passing by the wind, and one human head after another flew up in mid-air.

Although the Liaodong Army formation is completely chaotic, but the Northwest Army is tacit coordination between the teams, after they cut the Liaodong Army into a small force, it seems that the teams are fighting, but the teams are crisscrossed, whenever there is a Liaodong Army to reverse the situation and turn the upper hand, you will find that the nearby Northwest Army is killing from the side, and the reversal of the situation will be extinguished in an instant.

From top to bottom, the soldiers of Liaodong already knew that the general trend had gone.

If it was the Red Refining Electricity commander who was fighting a tragic battle, perhaps most of them would have fought to the death, but their commander was Kou Ying.

In the hearts of the soldiers, Kou Ying was far from being comparable to the Red Refining Electricity.

Red refining electricity is a symbol of the glory and dignity of the Liaodong Army, but Kou Ying is just an ordinary general.

They can fight to the end for the Red Refining Electricity, but in the current situation, many people are not ready to die for Kou Ying.

Earlier, the morale of the Liaodong Army was not high, and the morale of the army was unstable, but the Liaodong Army had always been strictly disciplined, and Kou Ying could barely keep the Liaodong Army out of chaos.

It's just that the doubts buried in the hearts of the soldiers are enough to have a major impact on their determination to die, and Chu Huan seems to be worried that they will forget this, and before the battle, he even came forward to remind them in person.

If the Liaodong Army had a smooth ride and had the upper hand in this battle, everything would be easy to say, but under the repeated blows of the Northwest Army, seeing one companion after another fall in a pool of blood, some Liaodong soldiers finally began to leave the battlefield.

The collapse on the battlefield is like a flood control embankment, as long as there is a gap, it will cause a major collapse, and those Liaodong cavalry that have withdrawn sporadically are undoubtedly the ones who caused the collapse.

Although Kou Ying knew that the situation was critical and the viciousness was unlucky, he never gave up hope, he had been waiting, waiting for Qi Sheng's five thousand soldiers and horses to emerge from the flanks.

Burning Huangling, Xu Chang's men and horses can no longer be counted, but Qi Sheng's soldiers and horses should be nearby.

The main battlefield has been supported for too long, and he only hopes that the time he has won can wait until Qi Sheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses appear from the flank, as long as Qi Sheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses are killed, even if they can't turn defeat into victory, it will not make the Liaodong Army collapse, and it will not let the Liaodong Iron Cavalry lose too badly.

But he didn't wait for Qi Sheng after all.

Qi Sheng's soldiers and horses have never appeared, but the Liaodong soldiers on the battlefield have begun to retreat.

"General, withdraw!" A few Liaodong generals on the side slashed and approached, "If you don't retreat, it's too late!" ”

Kou Ying knew that it was indeed too late to retreat.

More and more Liaodong cavalry retreated eastward, while the northwest cavalry did not follow those retreating cavalry, but surrounded the Chinese army.

"Qi Sheng, you bastard!" Kou Ying said angrily: "Lao Tzu's biggest miscalculation is to hand over 5,000 soldiers and horses to you!" He roared, but he knew very well in his heart that his miscalculation was not only that.
