Chapter 763: A Great Pursuit

"Where's the reinforcements?" It was not only Xianbei people who were shocked, but Wang Yu was also taken aback.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not many soldiers and horses, and the speed of approaching was not fast, Hu Qi was even more frightened when he saw the appearance of this army of soldiers and horses, and he really doubted that this was the ploy of Xian Yufu and others. Although there are many soldiers and horses in Youzhou, they are in their own positions, and there is no reason to suddenly appear here.

If there is no accident, the Yulin Army is coming from the same time, and it happens to be coming from that direction. However, the Yulin Army and the Taishan Army are different, if they abandon the formation and march in a hurry, they will definitely lose their combat effectiveness.

With Wang Yu's understanding of the ban, this possibility can be completely ruled out.

It's not Yu Ban, it's not Hu Ren, what kind of immortal will it be? He was a little confused, so much so that he failed to give the order for a full-scale pursuit at the first moment when Hu Qi collapsed.

Fortunately, when the battle is fought, there is no need for him to command.

The generals are not conformists, they all have a clear judgment of the battle situation, and when the Yellow Turban wrestlers fight, they only know how to rush forward, and they cannot accept other orders until the enemy is completely gone, or they are completely destroyed.

Therefore, when Murong Feng, who was still inciting the crowd and encouraging everyone to fight to the death at the moment, was the first to turn his horse's head and turn around and flee, the Qingzhou generals invariably issued an order to pursue the whole line.

"Woo...... Whining...... Woo! Zhang Liao personally blew the horn, this time it was not to ask for help or warn, he used the horn of uneven length to convey the latest order.

Under his command, the iron cavalry divided into two routes, with Zhang Liao and Lu Qiling as arrows, forming two sharp arrow formations, taking advantage of the moment when the Hu people found that the situation was not good and chaos occurred. Suddenly accelerated, and the waves slapped into the Hu cavalry formation.

"Chisel through the enemy's formation and open the way for General Xu!" Zhang Liao made an interpretation.

In an instant, the entire military formation of the Xianbei army was shattered. The war horse that had lost its master screamed and scurried around, knocking over the people who stood in its way, and countless pairs of big feet that fled for their lives stepped over the fallen ones, and before the Han army came to kill, they had already trampled them into flesh.

At the beginning of this large-scale pursuit of 10,000 people, the biggest casualties were not caused by the Qingzhou army. The trampling of the Xianbei rout army is the culprit.

Thousands of Xianbei people are crying and dying, and they are still shouting compassion in half-baked Chinese. Therefore, according to old legends, the people of the Central Plains like to repay grievances with virtue the most, and it doesn't matter if they kill people and set fires, as long as they apologize afterwards. Showing respect and repentance will lead to forgiveness.

Although they have also heard of Wang Yu's reputation, since the other party is from the Central Plains, it is impossible that they don't have the habits of the Central Plains at all, right?

At the beginning, the Huns were killed with rivers of blood, and there was no armor left, because they had long been attached to the Central Plains and were not really steppe people. The people of the Central Plains are merciful to outsiders, and they are particular about cutting grass and eradicating roots to their own people. The Huns didn't figure it out. Naturally, they will be slaughtered.

But now, although the army has been defeated, its number is far greater than that of the Han army, and they will never think that they can still kill the Huns. Kill 100,000 steppe cavalry and 40,000 Han slaves, right?

At such a time, isn't it a natural choice to surrender?

However. The answer given by the Han army disappointed them greatly.

"Pursue with all your troops, don't take prisoners!" Xu Huang picked up the big axe. Raise your voice and shout angrily. Even if you don't consider Wang Yu's attitude towards the Hu people, this battle was fought so fiercely and there were so many blood feuds, for the hussars who have always paid attention to happiness and revenge, how can there be any room to spare?

Mercy? Accumulate Yin Virtue? Let's talk about it when the battlefield is cleaned after the pursuit is over, if there are lucky people who can survive to that time, Xu Huang doesn't mind being merciful once and begging for them to beg for them. But now, the most important thing is to get rid of evil.

"Kill!" The 20,000 soldiers of the Taishan Army shouted in unison, shouting and killing like the sky was falling apart.

Although the Yellow Turban Lux ran fast, the soldiers of the Destruction Battalion were not far behind, all of them were full of energy, leaping like flying, and closely chased after the iron horseman.

If someone can look down from the air, they will be surprised to find that at the moment of the pursuit, the Qingzhou generals have reached a perfect cooperation. The two of them split the military formation in two, forming an oblique triangle attack array.

In the middle of these two arrays, the panicked Xianbei people were like weeds under a sickle, cut to pieces. They couldn't stop the joint impact of Lu Qiling and Zhang Liao, so they had to be pressed and gathered in the middle of the two triangular arrays. But the terrifying thing is that the bottom of the two triangular teams is completely connected!

After the cavalry in the front row drove Hu Cai to the center, the foot soldiers in the back row just stepped in line, picked up their swords and axes, and cut those who stood in their way, whether they resisted or surrendered, into meat sauce.

Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan were not idle, they pulled the team into a long and thin line, and marched in tandem with the front arrow formation formed by the iron horsemen. The soldiers took care of their bows and arrows, aiming and shooting like a safari, and hunted the Xianbei people, who were as fierce as wolves not long ago, as wild deer.

Hu Qi was dazed by the rhythmic and layered attacks of the Qingzhou army.

Those who wanted to escape found that they were surrounded by people, like turbulent currents in the sea, flickering east and west, without certain rules, and there was no way out. If you want to resist stubbornly, you will face a similar situation, let alone besieging the enemy, and it is difficult to figure out the direction in the chaotic and crowded crowd.

Many people had already given up, crying loudly, while involuntarily following the crowd everywhere, until they were killed by the Han army, or pushed down by their own people, and then trampled into pulp.

Those on the brink of chaos are even more miserable, and it seems that they have a choice to try to take their fate into their own hands. But in reality, unless you are at the junction of the middle army and the rear army, you will only face the flanking attack of your companions and enemies.

At this moment, they are no longer the Xianbei wolf riders who dominate the world, but a group of lambs to the slaughter. Even an untrained farmer can chase them from behind and knock them to the ground.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but the Han army had no intention of giving up at all, first the light cavalry on both wings, and then the heavy infantry who caught up from behind, and the torches were lit one by one, and the hussars fought at night and pursued with all their might.

"Woo...... Whining! The horn from Zhang Liao sounded again, and the soldiers who followed Lu Qiling's side heard the order. Harmony with horns in the same rhythm. The Iron Cavalry then slowed down its advance and quickly disengaged from the Xianbei Router.

"In the Qingzhou Army, another general has been added." Gongsun Zhan, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, couldn't help but admire the change of the hussars when his keen idea arrived.

Hunting and killing is also very knowledgeable. It's not as simple as rushing all the way to the back of the enemy and slashing and slashing, or even chasing in front of the enemy and opening up the blocking formation. The impact of the rout is terrifying, not to mention that the iron cavalry can't catch up with Hu Cai. Even if they can catch up, they will only be drowned in the rout tide in the end.

In a sense, a group of people who have lost their minds because they have no way out are not much worse than the Yellow Turban wrestlers who are fearless in life and death because of fanaticism and faith. Blocking head-on or chasing too closely is quite dangerous.

Opposite. If you grasp the rhythm, you can slow down from time to time, but it is very likely that you can use the rout to kill the enemy and eliminate the enemy's possible stubborn resistance, just as the unknown general in the Iron Cavalry is doing at this moment.

Slow, slow, slow, the general skillfully controlled the pace of the attack. The hussars are the waves of the sea, and the Xianbei army is a made of mud and sand. Under the blows that followed. Hu Qi was never able to stabilize his position, and every army tried to regain organization, flee or resist in an orderly manner, but every effort was quickly disintegrated.

What's even more breathtaking. Through the cooperation with the light cavalry, the military general slightly guided the direction of the rout's escape. Although it is not heading towards Xian Yufu, according to the current direction of the Xianbei army's rout, Zahu's army formation will obviously be affected.

When the Hu cavalry and the hussars fought fiercely. Xian Yufu's siege of Shan and Zou Erjun has also reached the final moment, seeing that the second general and the remnants of thousands of Youzhou troops are about to be destroyed. On the other side, there is a protrusion of mutation.

Even after seeing Hu Qi's defeat, Xian Yufu still had no intention of giving up completely.

After all, the Qingzhou army has few people, and if they focus on chasing and killing Hu Cai, they can't take care of their own side, and the troops of the second general have lost their combat effectiveness, and Xian Yufu thinks that he still has a good chance.

First of all, he can take advantage of the exhaustion of the Qingzhou army and the chaotic formation to attack from the flank to pick up a bargain. He observed for a while, and found the strangeness of the Han army's reinforcements, the battle was so fierce here, but those people had only been waving their flags and shouting in the distance, and the momentum was very large, but it was obviously not substantial combat power.

You know, now that the hussars are pursuing, it's time to beat the water dogs, so why shouldn't the Han army join in? Based on Xian Yufu's inference, the Han army was bluffing, either from a long distance, or from a straggler, anyway, there is no need to worry.

Of course, there is a great risk of picking up cheap, and if one is not good, it will become a fire for the Xianbei people, attracting the attention of the Han army to himself.

The most worrying thing is the 10,000 yellow turban wrestlers, although they have traveled a long way overnight and fought hard for half a day, but those people do not see any fatigue on them, just as they ignore the pain and life and death.

Xian Yufu was really worried, afraid that the other party's state could continue, not much, as long as half an hour, it would be enough to beat his 40,000 soldiers and horses.

His other idea is more secure.

The current Xiguan and the eastern part of Youzhou are completely empty, and if he moves fast enough, there is hope that he will rush ahead of Wang Yu and march to take Xiguan. The Qingzhou army came from a long distance, and the proportion of cavalry in the Zahu army was very high, and he was faster when he started at the same time. In this way, even if Wang Yu completely defeats the Xianbei people, it will be beyond the reach of the eastern part of Youzhou.

Xian Yufu's own soldiers and horses plus the Karasuma army were enough to hold the Xiongguan on the one hand, and on the other hand, the scattered troops of the Qingzhou army in Youzhou were wiped out, and the place where the grain was stored in Yujin was captured.

In this way, the battle situation in Youzhou is still promising.

His ideas cannot be miscalculated, on the contrary, they are very insightful. However, before he could make corresponding adjustments, the rolling torrent of the rout surged directly over, frightening his soul to fly out of the sky, where could he still care about thinking about the east and west, he and Xian Yuyin invariably abandoned their opponents, each in one direction, and ran for their lives.

Just kidding, being swept up in the rout will only turn into a rout, what else can you do except run away?

The bystanders were clear, Gongsun Zhan's hesitation and Zhang Liao's decisiveness were seen in his eyes at the same time, and his heart was full of admiration. Keeping calm at the time of a big victory, clearly judging the situation, and taking advantage of the situation to promote the development of the situation in the most favorable direction, such a military general can indeed be compared with the famous generals of the ancients.
