"Ma Dudu, quickly retreat, if you don't leave, it's too late!" The adjutant general watched the formation of the Jin army collapse and said to Ma Long eagerly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Malone came back to his senses and saw that the situation on the entire battlefield was completely out of his control, and there was no point in staying here, under the protection of the lieutenant general, Malone turned his horse's head and fled in the direction of the Pan River.

The Jin army lined up on the west bank of the Pan River, but it was not fighting against the water, and Ma Long had already set up several pontoon bridges on the Pan River and was ready to retreat.

At first, Ma Long firmly believed that this retreat was not useful, and relying on the partial car formation, the Jin army was enough to deal with all the invading enemies, but what he never expected was that as soon as the battle was fought the next day, Ma Long had to flee from the pontoon bridge that he thought was impossible.

The generals of the Jin army, including Ma Long, were secretly glad that they did not dismantle these pontoon bridges after crossing the river, otherwise under the furious attack of the Shu cavalry, they could only look at the river and sigh and sit still.

The Jin army has been defeated like a mountain, in the face of the Shu army's cavalry attack, there is no power to resist, after the main general Ma Long fled, the Jin army is even more leaderless, desperately fleeing to the direction of the pontoon bridge, they now only hate their father and mother to give birth to two legs, running in front, can step on the pontoon bridge, even if they pick up a life to go back, those who fall behind, will be trampled into meat by the iron hooves of the Shu army.

Under the raging sweep of the Shu army, the Jin soldiers did not even have a chance to surrender, their iron hooves rumbled, trampling on everything that could be trampled, and the entire camp of the Jin army was in a mess.

Ma Long fled to the east bank of the Pan River, only then stopped his horse, and couldn't help sighing, the defeat came too suddenly, and in less than half an hour, the Jin army front was declared a complete collapse. Malone watched the battle of the side van that he carefully illustrated disintegrate, and he was heartbroken and sad.

"Ma Dudu, the Shu people are catching up!" The adjutant exclaimed.

On the west bank, the cavalry of the Shu army had already pursued to the crossing of the Pan River, and tried to seize the pontoon bridge, and pursued it to the east bank.

"Set fire to the bridge!" Malone made a quick decision and gave the order to burn the bridge.

The cavalry of the Shu army is now invincible at all, and only these natural rivers can delay their attack, once they break through the defense line of the Pan River, the Jin army that has fled to the east bank will have no chance to escape again.

At this time, Ma Long didn't care that there were still Jin soldiers on the pontoon bridge who did not escape, so he ordered the bridge to be burned. The Jin soldiers poured things that could ignite fire, such as tung rape oil, on the bridge deck, and lit a fire with their hands.

The fire quickly engulfed the pontoon, and the Jin soldiers who were still on the pontoon bridge and had no chance to cross the river were dumbfounded. If the water is good, you can swim to the other side, and if the water is not good, you will be seen after a few flutters in the water.

Ma Long is not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person, but now the situation is urgent, he has to use such extreme means, the Shu cavalry is coming quickly, if the pontoon bridge cannot be destroyed as soon as possible, the Shu cavalry will kill along the pontoon bridge, it will be absolutely unstoppable.

Ma Long ordered the soldiers who knew how to jump down to rescue the Jin soldiers who fell into the water as much as possible, but unfortunately the Jin army was full of northern soldiers, and there were very few who knew how to water, and the water flow on the Pan River was very fast, and most of the Jin soldiers who fell into the water were swept away by the rapids.

Several pontoon bridges were quickly destroyed by fire, and the Shu cavalry who had just rushed onto the pontoon bridges had to retreat, and Ma Long did not dare to delay any longer, leading the remnants of the withdrawn soldiers to look at the Qinghe River.

The Jin army suffered heavy losses in this battle, almost all the side vans were destroyed by the Shu army, and more than half of the 30,000 horses were lost.

Luo Xian ordered to clean up the battlefield on the one hand, and on the other hand, re-erect a pontoon bridge on the Pan River, prepare to cross the river to pursue, take advantage of the victory, and take the second county of the Qinghe Plain.

Ma Long was originally full of confidence and ambition to rely on the partial carriage, and was determined to compete with the Shu army in the Qinghe Plain, but the battle of the boundary bridge wiped out Ma Long's confidence in an instant, although Ma Long still had more than 50,000 troops under his command, but how to resist the attack of the Shu cavalry, Ma Long really had no bottom in his heart.

In terms of field warfare, the flat terrain around the Qinghe Plain is the ideal stage for cavalry combat, and Ma Long's army cannot match it at all in front of the cavalry of the Shu army, not to mention that it is at a disadvantage in terms of troops, even if there are several times more people and horses, it is purely for nothing. If the city is held, Ma Long has already witnessed the power of the Shu army's firearms battalion, and with the city defense of the two county cities in the Qinghe Plain, he will not be able to resist it at all.

Ma Long, who fled back to Qinghe, thought twice and decided to abandon the second county of the Qinghe Plain and retreat in the direction of Qingzhou. First of all, Qingzhou is in danger of the Yellow River, and Ma Long is confident that he can rely on the Yellow River to block the iron hooves of the Shu army. Secondly, Ma Long himself is the Qingzhou Assassin, although he was seconded to Jizhou to fight, but the imperial court did not remove him from the post of Qingzhou Assassin, and returned to Qingzhou, which was completely his duty.

Qinghe Plain can't hold on anyway, if you stick to it, the result can only be to lose the city and lose the land, and bury all the more than 50,000 troops here, you must know that this time Ma Long entered Hebei from Qing, but with 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers, if all these Qingzhou soldiers were buried in Jizhou, he couldn't explain to the Qingzhou fathers.

Therefore, Ma Long, who made up his mind, fled almost overnight, he knew very well the horror of the Shu cavalry, a small Pan River could not stop the Shu army for much time, once it was broken through by the Shu army, the Shu cavalry could sweep the entire Qinghe Plain in a very short time.

Since he was leaving, he must not drag the mud and water, Ma Long ordered the Jin army to take away all the military baggage, travel lightly, and fled from the Qinghe River to the plain overnight.

After arriving at the plain, they rushed non-stop, day and night, towards the crossing of the Yellow River. After arriving at the crossing of the Yellow River, Ma Long ordered the requisition of all official ships and civilian ships to rush across the Yellow River day and night, and transport the Jin army to the south bank of the Yellow River in batches.

It is by virtue of Ma Long's resolute determination and resoluteness, the Jin army was able to successfully complete the task of crossing the Yellow River, when the cavalry of the Shu army roared towards the embankment of the Yellow River, the last ferry boat that the Jin soldiers were riding had just left the ferry, and even the arrows shot by the Shu army archers could be shot on the ferry, and several Jin soldiers were killed, but it was too late, the Jin army was already sailing away in the wind and waves, and Luo Xian could only look at the river and sigh on the north bank of the Yellow River.
