Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The messengers in the rebel army immediately conveyed the order, and the sound of the war drums under the banner of the commander suddenly changed, and the military order was like a mountain, and the rebels on the battlefield began to turn around and retreat to the west after receiving the order. And the most tragic thing is that those troops who have already rushed to the city wall, at this time it is naturally impossible to remove the city wall, unless they surrender, the only result is to be beaten to death by the group.
When the army defending the city saw Bian Zhang leading the army to retreat, they immediately broke out into a huge cheer. And Sun Jian, who was standing on the southern city wall, had already seen the arrival of the Blue Dragon Legion, and at that moment, his heart suddenly felt much more relaxed. Maybe this Hanxing City has been defended.
The defending army on the western wall cheered, but they did not know why the enemy had suddenly retreated, and their hearts were full of doubts.
…… Bian Zhang led nearly two million troops to retreat, although it was a last resort, but the formation was not scattered. However, most of these retreating troops were only foot soldiers, and most of the cavalry had already died in battle with Zhou Shen's army.
And with the speed of these two legs, it is indeed difficult to get rid of the Blue Dragon Army behind him. Even if those ironclad rhinos are not known for their speed, they are still much faster than these ordinary soldiers.
Bian Zhang is also very entangled at this time, if he retreats with the army behind him, he will inevitably be caught up by the other party, and then it will be another big battle, at this time he doesn't know the details of the other party, but his side is definitely a tired division, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to his side. And if he throws away the troops behind, he is very reluctant, this is his last remaining family foundation, without this army, if he wants to make a comeback, it will undoubtedly become very difficult.
In the end, between his life and his future, he still chose to keep his life, even though he led nearly 300,000 cavalry to break away from the large army and evacuate to the northwest. In the northwest is Yaoshui City, and now stationed on the line of Yaoshui and Qinchuan is Li Wenhou, another leader of the Xiliang rebels. It's just that the road from Hanxing to Yaoshui is long, and it takes at least four or five years to get to the place.
Seeing Bian Zhang lead the cavalry to escape, although the other NPC soldiers were angry in their hearts, they did not act excessively. In fact, until now, most of the rebel soldiers have not yet figured out why Bian Zhang suddenly gave the order to flee. This support army of the imperial court is only tens of thousands, even if it is all cavalry, what can it do? Is it difficult to defeat their army of nearly three million?
Even if Bian Zhang ran away now, they still had the same idea, because the remaining army still had more than two million, and although they were retreating, they were not dispersed. With two million against seventy thousand, they had no reason to escape. So they retreated, while waiting for the attack of the opponent's small cavalry, and some even thought about how to completely annihilate this cavalry. If Bian Zhang knew these thoughts, he would only say that they were fearless and ignorant. In fact, Bian Zhang also deliberately didn't say the horror of the Blue Dragon Legion, otherwise these guys would not have to flee in all directions? When the time comes, the army of Baiyun City will not bite and chase after him?
But players are different, and as a player, there is a very important advantage, and that is the speed of information transfer. Although the system is limited in this regard, it still can't completely erase the player's advantage in this area. Up to now, basically no player didn't know the horror of the cavalry in Baiyun City, and when they saw Bian Zhang fleeing with the elite cavalry, they immediately began to curse their mother. However, Bian Zhang, who had long since gone away, could not hear the scolding, and the leaders of these player forces gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, the players already knew that the army led by Beigong Boyu had been defeated by Yang Yao, and Beigong Boyu was nowhere to be seen. Although the imperial army itself suffered heavy losses after defeating the rebels, there were still nearly two million troops left, and if they were dragged here, it would be impossible for them to escape if they waited for the other army's army to arrive.
So they immediately decided to scatter and flee as soon as possible, so that the chances of escape would be greater.
Once they had made their decision, the player leaders gathered their armies and fled in different directions.
The million NPC rebels left behind were dumbfounded, they didn't know how these aliens escaped, but they also knew a truth: there must be demons when things are abnormal. If it is said that one person is alive and one force escapes, it can be considered that this is cowardly and fearful, but the large-scale collective escape is a bit too much to say. The low-level generals of these NPC rebels immediately went to contact the bosses of their respective legions, only to find that the commanders of each legion had disappeared.
That's when they know something is wrong! Without the commanders of these corps commanders, they will be scattered, and their combat effectiveness will plummet, so how can they compete with the localities? And this matter in front of him is also very strange, these low-level generals don't know how to deal with it for a while.
In this short period of time, the rebel army had fled several kilometers away, and the cavalry led by Bian Zhang had long since disappeared, and only the clouds of sand and dust raised in the far west could be faintly seen.
Those low-level generals looked back at the ironclad rhino rider who was only about a kilometer away from them and was catching up with them in a hurry, and they didn't know who shouted: "Run!" ”
The domino effect was vividly reflected at this moment, after those low-level generals began to flee for their lives, it immediately caused a chain reaction, and a large number of rebel soldiers began to scatter and flee, except for the direction from which the eastern cavalry was chasing, there were a large number of deserters in every other direction. In an instant, the fighting spirit of these Xiliang rebels collapsed on all fronts, and the only belief left in their hearts was to flee.
At this moment, the Blue Dragon Legion behind him suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the deserters in front, and the one-kilometer distance was instantaneous, and the spear in his hand was raised high, stabbing at these Xiliang rebels who had no sense of resistance...... This is a ** naked massacre, originally with the combat effectiveness of the Blue Dragon Legion, these Xiliang rebels did not have much ability to resist, not to mention that now they are still in the case of the collapse of the whole front, they are even more powerless to resist. At this time, the remnants of the army led by Zhou Shen also rushed up, and Bi Jing beat the water dogs that everyone liked to do.
However, the defending army in the city did not enter and leave, they were too tired! Including Sun Jian, at this time, they all felt that their bodies had been overdrawn.
However, with the remaining troops outside the city, they have already killed these Xiliang rebels in front of them crying and crying for their mothers, and they complain in their hearts that their fathers and mothers have lost two legs.
After the Blue Dragon Legion rushed and killed in the chaos for a while, they chased in the direction of Bian Zhang and the others.
…… After Bian Zhang led the army to leave Hanxing City, he hurried all the way to the west, and in less than an hour, he ran a distance of more than 70 kilometers.
At this time, they had reached the shore of the Yellow River, and as long as they followed the river to the west, they could reach Yaoshui. Looking at the surging river in front of him, Bian Zhangcai finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was really afraid that the other party would catch up at any cost.
After running for more than an hour, all the soldiers were a little tired, and Bian Zhang ordered the army to move slowly and slowly. And this way to the west, the road is far away, in case of any accidents, you have to have the strength to deal with it.
However, at this moment, the forward troops suddenly stopped, and one of the horses quickly galloped backwards, ran to Bian Zhang's side, and said with a somewhat panicked face: "Leader Qiqi, there is an army in the way of the forward, the origin is unknown, please decide!" ”
"What?" Bian Zhang was taken aback and asked, "But the cavalry just now?" ”
Na Jin immediately said: "My subordinates saw that the army was all foot soldiers, and there was not a single cavalry in sight. ”
Bian Zhang breathed a sigh of relief at first, but instantly raised his heart again, you must know that the two legions that intercepted Han Sui's army before were not cavalry, but foot soldiers, and one of them was not slightly weaker than the Qinglong Legion. Isn't it this legion that stands in the way?
"Have you ever seen the other party's handsome flag?" Bian Zhang hurriedly asked.
Na Cheng said: "I did see a handsome flag, but because the distance was too far, the logo on the flag was not very clear, and the main color was fiery red. ”
When Bian Zhang heard this, he almost decided in his heart that that army was one of the strongest legions in Baiyun City. It's just that this legion seems to be an infantry halberd legion, how can it be faster than these cavalrymen of its own? Could it be that the other party will not know the prophet? Already knew that he would be defeated and run away? And even the other party can guess the direction of escape? It was hard for him to believe.
"Chief, what do we do now?" A general asked.
Bian Zhang looked at the army around him, there were less than 300,000, and the number of the strongest Xiliang Iron Cavalry was only about 5,000, which was several times worse than the strength of the army sent by Han Sui to support Beigong Boyu before, although the front was only a legion of the other party, but he was not sure of defeat. What's more, now his army is already in distress, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened.
After thinking about it quickly, Bian Zhang said: "Immediately turn around and evacuate to the north, I don't believe that these infantry can catch up with our elite cavalry." ”
The order was swiftly issued, and all the troops turned around again and fled north. Originally, he thought that the army would get up and chase after them, but he didn't know that the other party was unmoved, as if he didn't see them at all, and let them flee to the north.
Bian Zhang was still secretly proud in his heart, thinking that the army was still knowledgeable about current affairs and knew that he couldn't catch up, so he wisely gave up the pursuit.
The escape lasted more than an hour, and in the middle of the way they turned around and returned to the banks of the Yellow River. In this vast desert, if Bi Jing has no reference, it is not easy to find the correct way, and Bian Zhang can only set the goal on the Yellow River. (To be continued)
