Chapter 946: The Battle of Weishui (6)

The defeat is like a mountain.!

One of the most tests of an army's combat effectiveness is their performance when they are defeated, and some armies have fought thousands of miles, and have conquered everything, invincible, and looked at the world. But once they are defeated, they can no longer be united. Some armies have been defeated again and again, but they have been defeated again and again until the end of the battle.

There are many such examples in history, and the overlord of Chu and his Chu army used to be like this, fighting a hundred battles and not tasting defeat, but after a defeat, they never got up again. The Han army led by Liu Bang and his group of dog-slaughtering brothers has been defeated repeatedly, but they have never been defeated, they have been defeated again and again, and finally became the one who has the last laugh.

There are too many such examples, and heroes are not judged by temporary success or failure. The same is true for the army, success or failure is nothing, the key is to see how the army faces failure.

At present, the Xu army is defeated, and the defeat is like a mountain.

At the beginning, Zhang Jun, Zhang Jin and others also advised Yu Wenshi to go out of the city first, and then gather soldiers and horses to reorganize the army and fight again. But at the west gate, several armies from all over the country were already fighting with each other in order to escape from the city as soon as possible. There was even an officer of the Lantian Army who trampled on his horse and trampled the sergeant to take the lead out of the city, but was pulled off his horse by several angry soldiers of the Chang'an Army and hacked to death with a knife.

The Xiliang of the small Guangfeng Cangcheng was noisy at this time, and the troops had completely lost the affection of friendly troops. It's all about seeing which one has more people, and each army has more soldiers and horses that are scattered and chaotic, and which team has more people can open others and take the lead out of the city.

By the time Yuwen Shi and others arrived with more than a thousand cavalry, there was already blood flowing all over the place, trampling countless dead.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wenshi stepped forward to drink a few times, but it didn't have any effect. In the end, it was Zhang Jun and Zhang Jin who stepped forward with their personal guards and cut off the heads of dozens of fighting soldiers with a series of knives, which could be regarded as calming the scene.

Temporarily calming the scene, the various divisions began to regather their troops and horses, and then left the city in order. For a while, the speed of leaving the city became faster.

Fortunately, the Chen army that entered the city did not seem to have enough troops. has been hunting and killing in the city to eliminate those Xu troops who are still lagging behind, and they have not directly killed the west of the city for the time being.

It was still dark, and it seemed like there would never be dawn in this long night.

With thousands of soldiers and horses barely gathered at the West Gate, Yuwen Shi and others also hurriedly went west. Looking at the people around him who are less than 10,000 people, at this time. Even Yu Wenshi didn't mention anything to return to the army and fight Yongfeng again.

All the generals are thinking about now is how far they can go. How far away from Yongfeng City immediately.

Thousands of men and horses rushed westward like lost dogs, and along the way, the defeated army snowballed. constantly gathered those Xu troops who escaped from the city and fled for their lives together. Gradually, seeing that there were more than 10,000 people in the Xu army gathered together, and there seemed to be no Chen soldiers chasing behind him, Yu Wenshiji's face finally improved a little.

A war horse. Yu Wenshi shouted, "Stop advancing! ”

"King, this place is not far from the city, be careful that the thieves chase and kill, or go back to Chang'an first." Zhang Jun whispered, tonight's experience made him extremely afraid of Chen Jun in his heart, and if possible, he would definitely not be willing to fight Chen Jun again. This Chen army is too terrifying, Weishui Tianwei and Yongfeng's Cangcheng are like no defense against them. How can this battle be fought?

Yu Wenshi shook his head: "Thief Chen is just equal to our army, at this time he raided and took Yongfeng Cangcheng, but I am afraid that he has already forgotten his form." Ladies and gentlemen, now is the best time for us to return and shoot back. Chen Kefu must have seen the tens of millions of stone grains and music who didn't know what his surname was, we came all the way just now. Chen Jun has not been here for a long time, and he must have been exhausted. If we kill the rifles, they will never expect it, this is exactly the unpreparedness of the attack! ”

Zhang Jun was still a little hesitant. Yu Wenshi said with a calm face: "Our 40,000 soldiers and horses were killed by Chen Pojun, if we go back to Chang'an like this." Not only did they lose tens of millions of stones. And it will be called a cowardly war, and if His Majesty investigates it, it will be equally difficult to escape the involvement. It's better to shoot back the horse, in case you can recapture Yongfengcang, not only is it not guilty, but it will also be a great achievement. ”

Several generals got together to discuss for a while, and they also felt that there was a chance of success in this matter. After all, if you go back here, you won't be able to run away from the responsibility of this defeated army. Yu Wenshi is the emperor's own brother, and he will definitely be fine then, but these generals will definitely not be able to escape. At this time, seeing that there were almost 20,000 horses gathered around him, he couldn't help but want to turn around and gamble.

When the order to turn around and return to the city was handed down, the response of each department was different, and basically most of the soldiers were unwilling to go back. Some have already turned around at the order, some are still standing still, waiting for the general's explanation, and some have begun to quietly slip away in disregard of the military order, preparing to continue to flee west.

The scene was chaotic to the extreme, and more than 20,000 people were scattered on the plains of Weinan, like scattered sheep, everywhere. Plus it's dark, and there's not even a complete establishment at all.

In this case, no one noticed that in the darkness on one side, Zhang Chuchen had secretly touched Xu Jun's side with five thousand female soldiers.

Although Zhang Zhuchen's 5,000 subordinates are female soldiers, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not much worse than other soldiers and horses in Chen's army, and even stronger than those township troops. The female army has always existed as a guard and horse in the capital, and she is fully satisfied with all kinds of equipment and supplies. After several years of training, the female army also participated in the war several times, such as the first battle of Jiangdong, these female soldiers went from Luoyang to Jiangdong. Although there was no real hard battle in the end, the march was thousands of miles, and a few small battles were fought in the end. After several years of training, well-equipped, and experienced in real combat, it was a sneak attack at this time.

When the whistling arrows were heard in the sky, the scattered Xu troops in front of the 5,000 female army were killed one by one, and they fell down like blowing out candles.

Rain of arrows, the rain of arrows of the female army is terrifying, one arrow in ten seconds, six arrows can be shot in one minute. Although it was defeated by the record that the most elite Praetorian Guard of the Chen army could fire twelve arrows in one minute, it was better than the number of people. Five thousand female troops, almost simultaneously firing their bows.

Thirty thousand arrows per minute, that's a terrible number.

Five thousand female soldiers shot arrows in the darkness of the night.

The scattered and unformed Xu army was attacked by this fierce attack, and it was almost one-sided.

"There is an ambush, Chen Jun's group of archers!"

The screams of the bitter calendar could not stop the slow advance of the archers, and the female soldiers each carried two pots of arrows, each pot of twenty-four. Behind their array, the sailors brought by Zhang Zhongjian played the role of auxiliaries at this time, and were following them with bundles of feather arrows.

The arrow screen attack, such a luxurious attack method, the effect is also extremely amazing. In less than half an hour, the women's army had fired nearly 400,000 arrows. This is such an extravagant figure, Xu Jun can only make a million arrows a year. And now, within half an hour, the 5,000 female army has shot half a year's bow and arrow output of the Xu army, and the attack power in exchange for such a luxurious style of play is also amazing.

On the plain between the female army and Xu Bing, countless feather arrows were densely packed, like pear blossom rain.

It's just that among the snow and feathered arrows, there are still thousands of Xu soldiers lying there, all of whom have become hedgehogs at this time, and blood stains the ground red.

Before this metal storm, the Xu army collapsed. Yu Wenshi didn't talk about returning the horse and shooting back, and Zhang Jun and other generals didn't care about the crime of defeating the army. Run, run like a life. After being ambushed and beaten to the head and bleeding, they were already in the wind, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. No one at all took a closer look at who was in ambush on the other side and how many soldiers there were.

Run, scramble to run, run lifelessly, run.

Like a flood that bursts its embankment, it rushes and discharges endlessly.

In order to run faster, the soldiers threw away their shields, their swords, and finally even their armor and threw it on the ground.

The scattered soldiers were like the water that opened the floodgates, like the waves of a river, and the crowd was surging, and the team behind them was suddenly crushed. There was a clamor everywhere: "Run! Run! "It's dead!" The soldiers scattered and fled, trampling, squeezing, rolling, colliding, throwing weapons all over the place, and discarded flags everywhere.

The defeated army was like a flood, scattered all over the Weinan Plain, and there were defeated soldiers everywhere.

When the sky in the east lit up with a touch of morning light, the defeated army of Xu had almost run out of ten miles, and it seemed that he did not intend to stop when he saw that Chang'an could not be reached. Although he was already tired and out of breath, no one was willing to stop.

Just as the morning light was getting brighter, the Xu cavalry who were running in front of them suddenly found in horror that a black cloud suddenly stood in front of them.

It's a dark cloud, and it's a stream of iron!

Towering like a hill, the armor and cavalry were dressed in iron armor to face the rising sun in the east, shining a dazzling light, and the light was dazzling so that they couldn't open their eyes.

The morning breeze blew, and the bright red helmet tassels on the black iron stream were so conspicuous, like an azalea blooming, swaying in the wind.

The earth was cracking, the snow powder was flying, the huge horse lance was shining, and the five hundred heavy cavalry of the broken army were pressing towards the Xu army like a mountain.

The thunderous forces of the broken army and heavy cavalry trampled on the scattered Xu army, and launched a slaughter-like charge against the Xu army that had even thrown away their weapons.

The bare-handed, terrified soldiers were directly knocked into the air by the thunderous heavy cavalry, fell, and trampled like mud.

When the five hundred heavily armored cavalry stepped over, Chen Pojun led all kinds of soldiers and horses to chase after him from behind. The Xu army, which had already been trampled by the heavy cavalry and lost its soul, had no intention of fighting at this time. After discovering that there was no hope of escape, most of them crouched on the ground and surrendered with their heads hugged.

In the first battle of Yongfeng, from midnight to morning, 40,000 Xu troops were killed 8,000, and nearly 30,000 surrendered, and only more than 1,000 fish slipped through the net. The soldiers and horses reinforced by Xu Guo were all lost overnight, and even the largest granary in Guanzhong, Yongfeng Cang, and the tens of millions of stone grains and grass in that warehouse also fell into the hands of Chen Jun.
