Chapter 661: Break the Vietnamese Army Again
The 8 million Vietnamese army was killed and wounded by Qin Xiaobai in the first battle of Pengcheng, and nearly 3 million were killed, and only more than 5 million Vietnamese troops escaped.
Under the design of Qin Xiaobai and the secret guidance of the Jinyi Guard led by Zhang Liang, these more than 5 million Vietnamese troops flocked to Xiapi County.
When these fleeing Vietnamese troops came to their senses, the first thing they had to do was, of course, to capture a heavy city, restore morale and supply military supplies, after all, when they fled in the Battle of Pengcheng, no one would carry any heavy baggage.
Xiapi City is not only an important city in Xuzhou, but also the closest to them, and the people who guarded Xiapi were still defeated by them, and Tao Qian, who led the remnants of the army to retreat to Xiapi, was basically not difficult to fight.
In this way, Xiapi City is undoubtedly their best target.
So not long after the 5 million Vietnamese troops fled to Xiapi County, they immediately began to attack the city without saying a word.
These more than 5 million Vietnamese troops were actually in the battle of Pengcheng, and there were few people who really fought with the Bingzhou player army, and most of them fled with the main stream without meeting each other, so their physical strength and combat strength were relatively well preserved.
Now that the battle is gaining momentum, the battle is suddenly huge, and it is impossible to see at all that it is the army that has just been beaten and fled.
At the same time, I don't know if I was just beaten up by Qin Xiaobai, and now I have the mentality of taking Tao Qian's anger to find face, thinking that if I can't win the overlord of Huaxia, it should be enough to beat the princes on your side, so the offensive of the Vietnamese army is becoming more and more fierce......
On Tao Qian's side, he originally had millions of soldiers under his command, and he had been stationed in Picheng, and after hearing that Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou, was besieged by the Vietnamese army, he once sent troops to rescue, but was disabled by the Vietnamese army in a war.
In the face of the sudden fierce onslaught of 5 million Vietnamese troops, it is naturally a posture that will not be able to withstand it in a minute.
Tao Qian was very sad in the face of such a situation. Since he was defeated, he didn't recruit anyone or provoke anyone, and An An stayed in Xiapi City, why did these South Vietnamese barbarians stare at him.
However, Tao Qian's ability to lead the army is not very good, but he still has the backbone, and he is determined to die in the city when the city is broken, and he should not be insulted by these barbarians.
At this moment, the east suddenly waved the banner and waved the iron hooves, and Qin Xiaobai led the Bingzhou player army to appear.
Tao Qian was overjoyed when he saw this, thinking that a great savior had appeared. But then he turned into a bitter gourd face, because he found that this army actually had less than a million people, and they were all player soldiers, and the commander of the army was still the famous Prime Minister Qin Dacheng, who had never personally led the army into battle, how could he save him.
At most, when his city was broken, he was a witness and helped him gain a posthumous name.
The officials and soldiers in Xiapi City, whether they have the backbone or not, are martyred. But most of the thoughts are similar to Tao Qian's, thinking that there is no joy, Qin Xiaobai leads such a small number of players, even if he comes, it will not work.
However. What Tao Qian didn't expect was that after Qin Xiaobai appeared, there was no change in Xiapi City, but there were great changes outside Xiapi City.
Five million Vietnamese troops attacking the city are happily attacking. It was instantly shocked, and he didn't even attack Xiapi City, which was about to be captured, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops. Forming a formation to face Qin Xiaobai's side, they were even silent......
This made Tao Qian and other officials and soldiers in Xiapi City dumbfounded.
They didn't know about the Battle of Pengcheng, which ended just a few hours ago, and of course they couldn't understand what was going on.
As the saying goes, one thing descends to one thing, if they can be called the shadow in their hearts of the Vietnamese army, then the Vietnamese army will be covered by dark clouds over Qin Xiaobai......
Although they knew that Qin Xiaobai's soldiers and horses were less than one-fifth of them, although they knew that it was broad daylight, they had stopped attacking the city, and they were not re-enacted by Qin Xiaobai's surprise attack that hit half the city.
But suddenly seeing Qin Xiaobai leading the army to arrive, the Vietnamese army still looked like a mouse seeing a cat, and all kinds of cold hair were upside down like a cicada.
However, what made the Vietnamese army strange was that they had been waiting for a long time, but after Qin Xiaobai led the army to ten miles away from the Vietnamese army, there was no further movement, but instead they had a posture of setting up camp somewhere.
Seeing this, the Yue army immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Qin Xiaobai was not ready to fight with them this time.
Speaking of which, after all, there are many of them, and now that they are on guard, Qin Xiaobai probably won't dare to start a war easily.
So the Vietnamese army immediately opened the camp and prepared to leave, although the big cheese in Xiapi City is here, it is a pity not to swallow it, but now Qin Xiaobai is here, they really dare not swallow it, or take the initiative to flash people, and it is best for everyone to be safe.
As a result, the Vietnamese army had just opened its camp and pulled out the village, and Qin Xiaobai also began to open the camp and pull out the village, leading the cavalry that had the advantage of mobility, and sneaked to the direction where the Vietnamese army wanted to withdraw in advance, blocking their way.
This made the Vietnamese army stunned, thinking that Qin Xiaobai would not let them take that road, okay, you are the uncle, I will go another way, so I changed the opposite direction and continued to withdraw the army.
As a result, Qin Xiaobai still led the cavalry of the Bingzhou player, and casually slipped in which direction, once again blocking the way of the Vietnamese army......
This made the Vietnamese army dumbfounded, what does this mean? It's clear that you won't let you go.
This didn't work, so the Vietnamese army was ready to gather forces to forcibly break through, but they retracted again before they broke through halfway.
Because once they marched in a posture of forcibly breaking through, Qin Xiaobai would not block in front, but led the player's cavalry to wander around the flank of the Vietnamese army.
To deal with the cavalry assault, the infantry can only assemble in formation, but once the marching formation is bound to be unable to maintain, Qin Xiaobai may find a big flaw at any time when he wanders around their flanks, and then give them a hard blow, so seeing this scene, the Vietnamese army is of course frightened and retracted.
Since it is not possible to break through unilaterally, it is better to divide the troops to break through, but as soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately vetoed, you must know that Qin Xiaobai is all on horseback, and it is so easy not to want to hunt them down.
Everyone has the strength to fight if they concentrate a little bit, if they scatter and escape, they can be broken one by one with Qin Xiaobai's intentions.
What's more, the Vietnamese army, which failed to take Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou and deterred the counties and counties of Xuzhou, wanted to escape from Xuzhou after the division of troops, but they didn't know if it would work.
So the Vietnamese army, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to accompany Qin Xiaobai to spend it here.
Three days passed in such a hurry, until this time, the few remaining military rations of the Vietnamese army were eaten, and if they did not fight hard, they would all starve to death here.
So the Vietnamese army finally mustered up the courage and prepared to capture Pi with ordinary soldiers and horses, and ordinary soldiers and horses to defend Qin Xiaobai's cavalry back.
This was originally a more risky tactic, not to mention that with the previous battle of Pengcheng, the Vietnamese soldiers who were attacked to death by Qin Xiaobai's back, attacking the city knowing that Qin Xiaobai was standing on the sidelines and watching, could not raise the courage to such a tactic, and they were forced to prepare to fight to the death until today.
As a result, before he could open it, the Vietnamese army, which was finally burning with blood, counterattacked, and saw Qin Xiaobai leading his troops to retreat, which made the second monk of the Vietnamese army puzzled.
Before the Vietnamese army could come to their senses and decide whether to continue the siege, they immediately saw a surging river, mixed with stones and mud, pouring from the plain like a mudslide, pouring into the low-lying city of Xiapi where they were located......
