The main force of the Fifth Army had not yet come up, and the onslaught of the death squads alone had thrown the forward army of the Red Army into chaos. Many Red Sergeants were still far from the Fifth Legion Death Squad, but looking at the Jin Sergeants who were covered in blood and almost bleeding out of their bodies but still fighting frantically, they were already so frightened that their legs trembled, their hands holding weapons trembled, and they involuntarily retreated one by one.

Disrupting the enemy's formation, this is the only point of a suicide charge of the daredevils.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Red Army camp, someone in the Fifth Army suddenly shouted: "Kill-" Immediately after, the heavy shieldmen divided to the left and right, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the Jin army, led by a Jin general, stepped off the jujube red horse, covered with golden armor, and held a long knife with golden light in his hand.

This Jin General is none other than Jin Cheng, the commander of the Fifth Army.

Among the commanders of the Jin army, Jin Cheng's strategy is definitely not the best, but his martial arts are definitely the strongest, even if he is placed among the many fierce generals of the Jin country, his strength is definitely among the best.

The Red Army in front of him, Jin Cheng didn't pay attention to it at all, not only rushed out first, but also did not hide his attributes, and told the Red Army with a golden armor that his attributes were golden, and whoever had the courage would come out to fight him.

Jin Cheng rushed into the enemy formation, and when he came up, he used his metallic spiritual martial arts, and the light was extinguished! With the flash of golden light, the long knife in his hand shot out golden air currents, and the air currents hit the red army's body, directly piercing his body, and then castrated unabated, and penetrated the second and third people in a row......

The Red Sergeant who stood in front of his horse was killed and cried his father and mother, and fled backwards like a tide. A red general came up and tried to hold him back. But under Jin Cheng's knife, the red generals came up and died tragically, and a pair came up. fell off the horse, the fierce battle did not last long, and the red general had been killed by Jin Cheng and took the lead in defeating and fleeing.

The cavalry that followed Jin Cheng was not ambiguous, although there were not many of them, but they followed closely behind Jin Cheng, picked up the weapons in their hands, and slashed the Red Army who were still resisting left and right.

This is a contest with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. There were many Red Army soldiers and few Fifth Army Corps, but the combat strength of both sides was not at the same level at all. The gap is so large that it can no longer be made up by the number of people.

As soon as the two sides started the war, the front army was defeated by the Jin army, and Ma Chen was dumbfounded. He sat on a horse. Panting heavily, beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks, he was far from the center of the battle between the two sides, but looking at his appearance at this time, it was as if he was also fighting desperately on the battlefield.

Yuan Tian lamented in his heart, before the battle, he had expected such a situation, but he didn't expect the Jin army's battle to be so fierce and fierce. The rout of their own side is such a mess again. He clenched his fists vigorously and said to Ma Chen, "Master Ma." The Jin army is fierce, and our army is invincible!"

Ma Chen, who was dumbfounded by fright, finally came back to his senses, he swallowed and spat with difficulty, turned his head stiffly with his neck, and stammered and asked, "What ......about it?" So, what should our army do now?"

"Withdraw!" Yuan Tian said weakly.

Ma Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and said urgently: "Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes! Withdraw to Zheng'an City!"

"Master Ma, we can't go back to Zheng'an now. Yuan Tian reminded.

If the two sides have not fought, the Red Army can also rely on Zheng'an's city defense to resist the Jin Army, but now, the Red Army has been frightened by the Jin Army, and the fighting spirit is completely lost, even if it retreats to Zheng'an, it is also unintentional to resist, there is only a dead end, not to mention, Yuan Tian has sent people to escort the people of Zheng'an away early, and now Zheng'an is only left with an empty city, no food and grass, and then retreat to the city, it is a self-defeating road.

"No...... If you don't retreat to Zheng'an, then ...... Where else can we retreat? We can't retreat south, right?" Ma Chen looked at Yuan Tian with a blank eye, retreating south would be tantamount to introducing the Jin army into the hinterland of the Red Kingdom.

"Do not go south. Yuan Tian frowned and said, "Our army can only retreat west now and go to Guangxi County. ”

Ma Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes! Guangxi County is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Jin army pursues it, it will not be able to take advantage." ”

Guangxi County is located in the northwest of Chiguo, which is a very special county, one is the special terrain, and the other is the special head of the county. The county leader of Guangxi County is named Shi Yun, and Shi Huai belongs to the same clan, but the blood relationship between the two is relatively far away, if you really want to trace it, you have to trace it back to the generation of the great-great-ancestors of the two.

Shi Yun's great-ancestor and Shi Huai's great-ancestor are brothers, at that time, according to the succession order, Shi Yun's great-ancestor should inherit the red throne, but Shi Yun's great-ancestor is not interested in the throne, and he does not think that he has the ability to govern the country well, so he took the initiative to let the virtuous to Shi Huai's ancestor, and after the latter ascended the throne, in order to thank his brother for his abdication, he named Shi Yun's ancestor as the marquis of Guangxi, in charge of Guangxi County, and his title and official position can be passed on from generation to generation to protect his descendants and be prosperous and rich.

From Shi Yun's great-grandfather's generation, he was the Marquis of Guangxi, and later his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were passed down from generation to generation, until him, and the five generations were all the heads of Guangxi counties. It can be said that the status of the Shi Yun family in Guangxi County has long been deep-rooted and unshakable, and its prestige among the people is so high that it even exceeds that of the monarch of the Red Kingdom. Guangxi County has become a country within a country.

Shi Huai also thought that Shi Yun would pose a threat to his dominance, and wanted to stab him several times, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no choice but to give up, Shi Yun's roots in Guangxi County were too deep on the one hand, and the terrain of Guangxi County was too special on the other hand.

Guangxi County is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the whole county is like being trapped in a huge basin, and there is only one way to enter the county, and the Fengyang City built in it blocks the West Mountain Pass tightly. In addition, Guangxi County has more than 200,000 county troops, and the county has fertile land and abundant products, so the county's grain production can not only be self-sufficient, but also handed over millions of stone to the Chiguo court every year. Guangxi County can be said to have food and grain, money and money, soldiers and soldiers, the terrain is steep, both offensive and defensive, and when Shi Huai's behavior was the most crazy, he did not dare to do anything to Shi Yun easily.

Now Yuan Tian proposed to retreat to Guangxi County, which made Ma Chen feel quite open, yes, withdrawing to Guangxi County can lead the Jin army away from the hinterland of the Red Kingdom, if the Jin army dares to attack Guangxi County, it is asking for hardship and self-defeat.

He hurriedly said: "Hurry up and give the order, the whole army retreats to Guangxi County!"

Yuan Tian shook his head, looked at the front, and said, "The front army can't retreat, and now we can only retreat with the middle army and the rear army!"

"What?" Ma Chen was taken aback, and subconsciously widened his eyes, there were 100,000 soldiers in the front army, if only the middle army and the rear army were withdrawn, wouldn't the 100,000 soldiers of the front army all die at the hands of the Jin army?

Yuan Tian said helplessly: "In the current form, someone must stay behind and drag the Jin army, otherwise we will not be able to withdraw from Guangxi County at all, and we will have to be chased and killed by the Jin army." ”

Ma Chen was speechless for a long time, Yuan Tian didn't have time to wait for him to make a decision, and said, "Master Ma, now is not the time to be indecisive. As he spoke, he shouted to the surrounding generals: "Order the middle army and the rear army to retreat to the west, and then go to the front army to order the front army to fight to the death with the Jin army, and the reinforcements of our army will arrive immediately." ”

"Yes, General!" the generals looked embarrassed, but they still agreed one after another, and ordered to leave.

Yuan Tian adopted the method of abandoning his pawns to protect the car, sacrificing the front army, and taking advantage of the chaos to withdraw the 150,000 Chinese and rear troops.

Lin Haotian, who was sitting on the periphery of the battlefield, saw the Red Army's actions clearly, he immediately understood the Red Army's intentions, and immediately sent an order to the Fifth Army to annihilate the remaining Red Army, and then there was no need to pursue the enemy, and went directly south to the Golden Mountain to relieve the siege of the First Army, while he himself led the direct army to chase and kill the withdrawn Yuan Tian and Ma Chen.

Yuan Tian and Ma Chen led the 150,000 Red Army in the process of retreating and found a large number of Jin troops behind them chasing over, and the two quickly gave the order, the whole army threw away the baggage, only brought rations, marched lightly, and retreated at full speed in the direction of Guangxi County.

In order to lighten the burden, many soldiers even threw away their armor and weapons, and the 150,000 people, without any fighting spirit, fled westward like a plate of scattered sand. (To be continued......)
