Chapter 25: The Great War (4)
After Gongsun Chan killed Lord Wuyan, a look of regret appeared on the black face.
Gongsun Zhan knows that Wuyan is a good man, who is affectionate and responsible, but he is with the wrong person.
After putting away the slight regret, he began to command the cavalry under his command, and quickly rushed towards the place where Qiu Liju had rested before.
Everywhere the Gongsun Zhan cavalry passed, the heart-rending howls continued to sound, and soldiers were constantly disemboweled, flesh and blood flew everywhere, stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and the blood stained countless layers of corpses, looking like a hell on earth.
The white horse Congyi, who rushed to the forefront of the team, could no longer see any white places, and the blood of the enemy mixed with his own blood had made them one bloody man after another.
At this time, each of their cavalry used all their strength to carry out the most brutal slaughter of the rebels.
At this time, they want to destroy the last confidence of the rebels and make them lose the courage to resist.
In the era of cold weapons, morale is more important than any force, once the enemy seizes the momentum, the soldiers will become a mass of scattered sand, and there is no ability to resist at all.
Countless rebels have fallen into a state of numbness and sluggishness at this time, they feel that there are cavalry of the Han army everywhere, and they are like cabbage in the cabbage field, allowing those Han troops to trample on them.
They are so tired that they have trouble getting up......
They were afraid, and they didn't have the psychology to dare to face Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry......
They were even more afraid in their hearts, for fear that if they got up, they would be killed like other soldiers so that they could not see the original person......
The scattered rebels could not organize themselves to resist effectively, so Gongsun Zhan's cavalry brigade was like no one, and more soldiers threw down their weapons and fell directly to the ground waiting for death.
An air of despair hung over the rebel camp, and compared to the Han soldiers, who were becoming more and more courageous, a handful of rebel soldiers avoided the warlords and began to burrow into the deep mountains and forests outside.
There were countless beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, but at this time, they didn't think about it so much.
Rather than fighting with wild beasts and being killed, it is much better than being harvested by the Han army at this time like cutting leeks.
Staying on the battlefield, they have no hope of survival, and there is hope for life when they escape for their lives in the deep mountains and old forests.
After the formation of the great rout, the rebel overseers were no longer useful, and no matter how desperately they tried to prevent the rebel soldiers from escaping, it had no effect.
Some of the soldiers who fled even got into a scuffle with the soldiers of the Warlords, and for the sake of their chances of survival, they could already ignore the Warlords or not the Warlords, as long as someone stopped them, they would immediately fight desperately.
Gongsun Zhan saw that the cavalry under his command was rushing and killing at a very fast speed, and some of the cavalry of the front army even surpassed him by a mile, so he lifted the reins and quickly urged the war horse under his crotch to kill him in the distance.
He knew in his heart that Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun would definitely not be too far away from them now, as long as they could quickly break the fighting spirit of the rebels, it wouldn't take much time for him to capture the two rebels of the Han Dynasty with his own hands.
Gongsun Chan and Qiu Liju's troops were both tired, but Gongsun Chan launched a surprise attack and approached Qiu Liju's troops without warning.
One side is morale like a rainbow, the other side is passive resistance, after the two are added, the consequences can be imagined.
The Wuhuan soldiers under Qiu Liju and the Han soldiers brought by Zhang Chun were far more numerous than Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
However, during the pursuit of Gongsun Chan for half a month, these soldiers had already developed a fear of Gongsun Chan's soldiers in their hearts, and they always felt that those soldiers of the Han army could not be defeated.
With this shadow in their hearts, and the soldiers around them were scattered and could not organize effective resistance at all, the speed of their defeat began to intensify.
Su Fuyan and Captain Zhang Ping continued to pick up the soldiers who had fled, and led the last elite that Qiu Liju could now handle, and they finally reached the slope that Qiu Liju said before the Baima Congyi Brigade defeated the personal guards led by Wu Li.
"Death to those who retreat."
"Give me a backwash. Those who disrupt the formation will not be killed. ”
"Shoot me hard at the routs."
After Su Fuyan reached the slope, he first roared at the deserters, trying to control the rhythm of the deserters' retreat.
Seeing that his shouts were ineffective, he immediately issued a third order, telling his soldiers to wait for the fleeing soldiers.
At this time, Su Muyan's heart was very clear, if they were scattered by these soldiers who had fled, they would be completely defeated.
Not to mention these people, even Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun can't escape from Ascension.
Now at this time, it is the time to meet the brave on the next road, and it depends on whether their soldiers can fight hard to resist and whether they can block the first wave of Han cavalry at this time.
Zhang Ping's sharp voice also sounded with Su Fuyan's voice at this time.
"The shieldmen raise their shields, the pikemen are on top, and if anyone tries to break through our lines, kill them all. Take a step back and kill on the spot. ”
Compared to Su Fuyan's powerful voice, Zhang Ping's voice was hysterical.
Although Zhang Ping was dissatisfied and resentful of his cousin Zhang Chun, Zhang Ping knew in his heart that he had to fight to the death with these soldiers under him.
His family, his hope for the future is now completely in the hands of his cousin, if he can't carry out this death order given by Qiu Liju, then his family will definitely not die well.
Thinking of his son who was waiting to be fed, Zhang Ping's heart gradually calmed down.
Horizontal and vertical are all a death, rather than die a nest, it is better to fight to the death, die vigorously, even if future generations can't remember his name, he also wants to meet Gongsun Chan in a dignified manner.
Zhang Ping looked at the soldiers whose morale was extremely low, and he began to shout loudly: "The Han cavalry on the opposite side does not have two heads, they all have one body on top of one head, and they are afraid of a bird ball."
Reinforcements are coming in a moment, and as long as we can withstand the first attack of these cavalry, victory will be ours.
The scouts of the reinforcements have already connected with the adults, and you have resisted me fiercely, and after victory, ten times the salary will be distributed to you. ”
Zhang Ping shouted that reinforcements were coming, but he knew in his heart that this reinforcement was unwarranted and made up by him out of thin air.
The tenfold salary is a kind of encouragement and comfort to the soldiers, many soldiers come to serve as soldiers for money, and the tenfold salary is very moving.
But what! Zhang Ping knew that if he wanted these damn Qiu Ba to fight to kill the enemy, then he had to publicize to them that reinforcements were coming and that he wanted to give them more food.
The family members of the Yuyang Wei Camp, like his family, have now been sent to Xiangping, and now they have to fight to the death.
Even for those unwarranted reinforcements, these damn Qiu Ba will desperately resist for a while.
If they don't even have the will to resist, then they won't be able to hold this line of defense at all.
The arrows rained down, and the team led by Su Muyan and Zhang Ping began to pour the bows and arrows in their hands into the retreating soldiers.
Su Fuyan looked at the soldiers who were shot to death by his own family, and a trace of unbearable color appeared on his face.
Most of these soldiers were Wuhuan soldiers, and many of them were his clansmen, and they did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at his hands, and he was very sad in his heart.
But what! Now is not the time to be soft-hearted, if he is softer, there will be more Wuhuan people who will die by then.
The soldiers who had fled were furious when they saw the countless rain of arrows fired from the slope, which were not aimed at the enemy, but were shot at them.
Instead of dying at the hands of the enemy, they were shot by their own soldiers, which was simply unbearable for them.
There were only two paths in front of them, one was to charge forward, break through their shields and spears, and dodge the overwhelming rain of arrows.
The other way is to turn around and fight with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
They were already desperate, whether it was their own shield array and spear formation, or Gongsun Zhan's cavalry team, they could not break through......
