Fortunately, Chen Jun's lance men were only in leather armor, unable to prevent the blow of this rain of arrows, after falling hundreds of people, the attack was blocked, and the shield men behind stepped forward to provide cover, and at this time, the sudden smoke made Chen Jun unable to see the movement clearly, and did not dare to pursue rashly.
The defeated soldiers of the Sui army finally withdrew from the smoke and came to Wang Huaqiang's line of sight, separated by about a hundred steps from the Chen army in front, Wang Huaqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the enemy cavalry on both sides.
Chen's cavalry did not dare to pursue too far because they did not know the enemy behind the high ground, and after repelling the cavalry of the Sui army, they also returned to both sides of their formation and slowly moved forward with Lu Guangda's Chinese army.
In any case, this period of Sui army was defeated, and there were about 2,000 dead in the battle, and now it has not completely escaped the crisis, through the thick smoke, only the cheers of the victorious Chen army are heard endlessly, and the soldiers of the Sui army who retreated are all discouraged and exhausted, and many wounded soldiers finally escaped back, and as soon as the smoke came out, they fell to the ground and were unconscious.
Wang Huaqiang turned his head to the pro-soldier guards who were fanning the flames and said: "Now the situation is urgent, most of the soldiers in the front have lost half of the soldiers, and they can't set up a formation. ”
The captain of the guard, who came with Wang Huaqiang, said: "I don't have a lance, what should I do?" ”
Wang Huaqiang said in a deep voice: "Do you see those wounded soldiers who fainted, just take their weapons to the front." ”
After giving the order to these pro-soldiers, Wang Huaqiang continued to say to the herald behind him: "Blow the trumpet, let the troops in front fight and retreat, and do not allow them to turn around and escape." Let the auxiliaries quickly transport the seriously wounded to the mountain, and the lightly wounded will come over and continue to fan the flames, and the archers will also change their swords and prepare for battle after shooting their arrows. ”
Wang Huaqiang's order turned into a flag and a horn, passed to the soldiers in front, because they were in the thick smoke, these sergeants who were still slowly retreating did not know what was happening behind, but from the point that the enemy troops in front stopped attacking, it was obvious that things were developing in a good direction, and these soldiers who were about to collapse just now gradually regained their confidence and mustered up courage.
With the addition of more than 500 general guards, the soldiers of the Sui army passed on the word of mouth and finally understood the current situation:
The new General Wang first attacked with a rain of arrows, which won space for the retreat of his side, and then let the new force step forward to take over the defense of the front row and transport away the wounded, although I don't understand why General Yuan was transferred away at this time, but General Wang's strategy obviously gave everyone a way to live, and everyone worked together to slowly retreat without panic and escape.
In the meantime, the Chen army also rushed into the smoke four times, trying to forcibly break the Sui army's defense line as just now, but this time, the Sui army's position was not chaotic, and the four-meter-long lance was the best protection for the retreating formation of the side, coupled with the smoke, the warriors of the Chen army who rushed into the fog were stabbed to death because of the obstruction of their vision, and finally they could only fire a bow and crossbow into the smoke in a venting manner, and threw a burst of axes, and they didn't know what the effect was.
In this way, the two sides fought and walked, an hour and a half down, the Chen army attacked four times in a row, forced the Sui army back more than 400 steps, until retreated to the foot of Jiang Mountain, due to the smoke, the Chen army did not take advantage of the process of pursuit, along the way the corpses of both sides pillowed, the Sui army was defeated but not chaotic, the Chen army could not expand the results, each side left three or four hundred corpses, finally, the Chen army finally gave up the pursuit, temporarily withheld the troops.
Lu Guangda unwillingly gave Ming Jin's order, and today's original plan to lure the enemy was a great success, using Tian Ruibu's defeated army to fight to the death, and then Ming Jin caused their collapse, this is a real defeat, more real than any fraudulent defeat, and only in this way will the battle-hardened general Ming also get on the way.
It's a pity that at the most critical time, as long as you add more strength, you can defeat the Sui army, but the other party suddenly changed its tactics, both decisive and ruthless, but it was the most efficient choice under such conditions at that time, the whole retreat process was seamless, and there was no gap, so that even Lu Guangda, who was the enemy, was impressed.
Lu Guangda said casually: "This battle is obviously not fought by the brave man of Yuanming, and I don't know who is commanding the enemy army." ”
Liu Xiuzhi, who was beside him, said thoughtfully: "Could it be that He Ruobi saw that the situation was not good and came to command in person?" ”
Lu Guangda shook his head: "If He Ruobi personally commands, then he will definitely move the handsome flag forward, at this time, only by playing his handsome flag can he stabilize the heart of the army, and if I am He Ruobi, the defeat of the front army will not directly move the handsome flag, if the commander of the army does not have this concentration, then he will not be able to command the army." ”
Liu Xiuzhi doubted: "Then who will the other party be?" He is still waving the banner of a general, and he doesn't look like a general, otherwise he wouldn't have played his own banner. ”
Lu Guangda sighed: "Alas, the Northern Army is really capable, and I don't know if the hard battle we are waiting for is capable of turning the tide." ”
When Lu Guangda said this, he suddenly stopped his mouth, looked behind him, and saw that the big banner with the word "Kong" was guiding thousands of foot soldiers, passing directly by his army and rushing towards the front line.
Lu Guangda was suddenly furious: "What does Kong Fan mean, he shrank behind during the battle, and now he doesn't have any order to let him attack, but he leaves his position without authorization, what does he want to do?" ”
Liu Xiuzhi was also speechless for a long time, and finally spoke: "Judging from the last general, it seems that he didn't fight in the past, I'm afraid he wants to grab people's heads and win war achievements?" ”
Lu Guangda yelled: "He dares!" Before the words fell, I saw that more than 3,000 people had rushed out of Kong Fan's army, and ran to the earliest chariot defense line of the original Sui army, that is, the place where the corpses were piled up recently, and in front of the eyes of Lu Guangda's headquarters, they openly harvested the heads of the war dead.
Lu Guangda's face suddenly swelled red, and almost a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out: "When have you not forgotten to grab the credit, does the surnamed Kong really want us to lose the country?!"
Without waiting for Lu Guangda's order, the soldiers of Lu Guangda's department quit, and regardless of whether they were still on the battlefield now, they directly stepped forward and drew their knives and began to harvest people's heads, even the front-line troops who only kept a few hundred steps away from the Sui army also began to patrol the ground to find corpses, whether it was the enemy's or their own side, they all cut off their heads and prepared to report their merits and receive rewards, and the entire battlefield was in chaos, and there were even many people who fought in order to grab people's heads.
Wang Huaqiang had already returned to He Ruobi's side at this time, and the tired soldiers under the mountain were seizing this rare respite opportunity to rest and eat, and the troops on the front line were still spears and shields, relying on the woods for defense.
Originally, the two were discussing how to arrange the defense of Jiang Shan next, but they didn't expect such a dramatic change on the battlefield, Chen Jun actually messed up because of grabbing people's heads, and did not form a formation, He Ruobi stood up suddenly, pointed at Kong Fanjun in front of him and shouted: "Quick, quick, concentrate all the troops and rush Kong Fan's department!"
Wang Huaqiang didn't wait for He Ruobi's order to finish, he flew on his horse, galloped off his post, and roared all the way: "All the formations, the sharp arrow formation, the target enemy Kong Fan Army!"
All the Sui troops stood up, and the Sui troops on the front line quickly formed dozens of arrow-like charging formations, with the shield hand in front and the knife and axe hand in the center, the purpose was to maximize the combat and assault capabilities of the squad, which was often used to rush into battle and chase the fleeing enemy.
Wang Huaqiang galloped all the way, directly rushed out of the front line of the Sui army, and ran towards Kong Fan's army, behind him, Gao Gang followed by more than 1,000 cavalry, it was the group of light cavalry troops that were defeated in the previous pursuit battle, bypassing the Lu Guangda division in front of him, and charging at full speed towards the Chen army of Kong Fan's department.
The Chen soldiers on the battlefield are fighting for each other's heads, and they are very happy, this battle Chen Shubao can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, and offered a heavy reward of 100 yuan for each person's head, you must know that 100 yuan can buy ten stone rice in Jiangnan, which is enough for an adult to eat for ten years. It is precisely because of this that Lu Guangda's fighting spirit is so high, but now it is Kong Fan's turn to steal the results.
