Chapter 707: Heavy Losses [Fourth Update]
When Qin Qiong saw it, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to use the Qi Breaking Arrow to cover those warriors.
However, because these warriors are holding shields, it is difficult to achieve much effect.
Qin Qiong didn't have a good way, so he could only order the crossbowmen to do their best to arrange an arrow array to cover the enemy army, causing a lot of casualties to the enemy army.
After Fan Haosheng saw that Qin Qiong had nothing else to do, he was also relieved in his heart, and hurriedly sent an order to the army to speed up.
At the same time, Liu Ji and Meng Zhiwu also got the news from Jinyiwei's spies that the enemy army was already in chaos.
"General Meng, change your strategy, you immediately attack with a large army, now the enemy army is chaotic, and the 200,000 army is enough to suppress all the enemy troops!" After getting the news, Liu Ji did not hesitate to change his previous strategy.
He didn't expect this strategy to work so well before, and he didn't expect that Fan Haosheng's treatment of the army under his command was too different, resulting in the internal army actually starting to be chaotic now.
Under such circumstances, it is of little significance to carry out a deterrent offensive, and a direct attack on the enemy army can achieve great results.
"The last general obeys!"
Meng Zhiwu replied loudly and immediately went to attack the enemy army with his soldiers.
Just as Liu Ji thought, when Meng Zhiwu attacked with a large army, the army of the Bailan Kingdom, which was already in chaos, had no power to resist, and in the case of a charge, the layout of the enemy's rear army was completely chaotic.
Coupled with the rumors spread by Jinyiwei before, it was said that Meng Tian was about to attack with a large army.
This made those soldiers think that the army that Meng Zhiwu was waiting for was Meng Tian's army, and they were even more frightened, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the hillside where Qin Qiong was guarding before, wanting to retreat from there.
But many more soldiers surrendered on their knees and gave up resistance.
Liu Ji followed behind and immediately took the soldiers to accept these surrendered soldiers.
And according to Lu Feng's earlier strategy of disposing of the Ziyang Kingdom's surrender of troops, the generals who surrendered were separated from the ordinary soldiers, eliminating the possibility that they might raise troops again.
In this case, Meng Zhiwu led the army to charge, and Liu Ji led the army to collect and surrender troops, and in the battlefield, except for the chaos caused by the charge, there was not much chaos at the rest of the time.
And those soldiers who fled in the direction of the hillside played a role in helping Meng Zhiwu's army break through the formation to a certain extent.
Because those generals who still believed that Fan was victorious were forming an army to resist the mutinous soldiers, they were originally in an evenly matched situation with the generals who had already mutinied.
But when the fleeing soldiers in the rear formed a rout, they rushed over in confusion, breaking this situation in an instant, and making those mutinous troops attack their military formation like crazy.
In a short period of time, their military formation was directly broken through.
This makes those generals angry and scolding mothers.
When the enemy army comes, you don't dare to resist, on the contrary, the army formation that was still friendly before the impact is crazy, what kind of army is this?
But they are also helpless, since ancient times, the most terrifying thing on the battlefield is not the attack of the enemy, but the formation of their own soldiers.
As long as a rout is formed, there is no need for the enemy army to impact the military and politics, and the rout will break through the military formation.
Those routed soldiers can't fight head-on, but in order to escape for their lives, they are more powerful than the other.
In this case, Meng Zhiwu led the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom to attack more freely in the rear, and he could easily reap a victory with little resistance along the way.
On the other side, Fan Haosheng and his iron-numbered army, as well as the grain army, finally passed through the sea of fire under the cover of warriors.
But Fan Haosheng's face was gloomy and terrible at this time.
Because the lieutenant general just told him that the warriors under him had lost more than seventy percent.
300,000 iron is large, and now there are less than 200,000 left, and more than 100,000 elite soldiers died in the fire.
This is still because there are warriors to suppress the flames, otherwise the losses will be even more.
As for the lightly wounded and seriously wounded soldiers, there were even more, and almost every soldier had some minor injuries on his body.
Seriously wounded soldiers have already been abandoned.
But that's not the main thing.
The most important thing is the grain and grass!
Even if there were warriors who suppressed the flames with their true qi, Fan Hao's victorious army of grain still lost more than sixty percent.
The loss was heart-wrenching for him.
"General, let's go, if Qin Qiong comes down from the mountain at this time, we will be able to resist it. Fan Haosheng's confidant lieutenant said behind him.
Fan Haosheng didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the mountain that was not tall, but full of figures, and said in a gloomy voice: "Qin Qiong, you wait for the general, and when the general and Shan Shaoguang destroy Yue Fei, they will definitely bring a large army to cut off your head!"
With a cruel word, Fan Haosheng immediately ordered the army to retreat.
Qin Qiong was on the mountain, looking at Fan Haosheng's army in the distance, his eyes were a little unwilling, but he was helpless, he couldn't ruin the whole battle situation for the sake of Fan Haosheng's head.
Fortunately, his real exploits have arrived!
Turning his head to look at the other side of the sea of fire, the rout of the frontal battlefield had already rushed here.
But the flame suppressed by the true qi of the warrior was lost, and the terrifying side was completely displayed.
Some soldiers try to cross the sea of fire, but in the end they can only become the nourishment of the sea of fire.
After seeing many of the routers screaming in the sea of fire, the rest of the soldiers no longer dared to try to pass through the sea of fire.
The reason why they ran this way was to survive, but now that there was a desperate sea of fire ahead, these routs panicked instantly.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
At this moment, a fierce shout of killing came, which frightened the routs even more.
They saw well-armed enemy soldiers rushing down from the hill like tigers.
This made these routs even more panicked, fleeing in all directions, and at a loss.
"Surrender or kill!"
"Surrender or kill!"
Under Qin Qiong's order, the soldiers of the Nanyan Kingdom who rushed over shouted these four words one by one.
And these four words made these routs hear, as if they heard the voice of heaven, and they did not hesitate to kneel on the ground to express their surrender.
Of course, there were also some generals who chose to resist with their soldiers.
But this part of the generals and soldiers, in the face of the army led by Qin Qiong, had no resistance, and were beheaded one by one, the blood burned and dried up the earth, and the smell of blood filled the air.
This made those soldiers who were not sure of their attitude understand one thing: resistance is only a dead end!
As a result, more soldiers chose to surrender on their knees.
For a while, from the hillside to the bottom, there were densely kneeling with the troops of the Bailan Kingdom, which was very spectacular.
In the end, these surrendered soldiers far outnumbered the army under Qin Qiong's command.
However, they have no will to fight, and they only have a little more in number.
Qin Qiong immediately arranged for soldiers to collect the surrendered troops, and he led a part of the army to rush and kill to deal with the troops of the Bailan Kingdom who were still resisting.
