Chapter 510: Disappointed
If Sima Zhao did not divide his troops, but chose to advance and retreat together, Chen Tai would not have been defeated so quickly, and the Liangzhou cavalry would not have won so easily.
On the battlefield, as long as one person retreats first, the hearts of the others will be full of doubts.
It is human nature that people do not suffer from inequality.
Why could someone go first?
Is the defeat a foregone conclusion?
The war was still fighting, and the hearts of the Chinese soldiers and soldiers were already clouded.
What's more, what Sima Zhao left behind to Chen Tai were all newly expanded soldiers, although they also experienced the Battle of Shouchun, but they were not the Chinese army that Cao Wei founded the country to conquer in all directions.
The real elite naturally has to stay by Sima Zhao's side.
Therefore, in the face of hard battles and setbacks, the rear army instantly lost its fighting spirit and was defeated like a mountain.
The sound of killing behind the sky shook the sky, like a stormy wave.
Sima Zhao and Jia Chong chose to ignore it very tacitly, as if they had forgotten their promise in front of Chen Tai.
Obviously, there was still a cavalry by his side, but he was still indifferent.
No, nor can it be said to be indifferent.
Eighty thousand people are running faster.
"Xiangguo should take the world as his own responsibility and get out of danger quickly!" Listening to the sound of horses' hooves chasing behind him, Jia Chong didn't even have the slightest interest in resisting.
If even Chen Tai can't stop it, then they can't stop it even more.
It's only been a few hours, and Chen Tai has collapsed?
Could it be that the combat power of the Western Thieves is really terrifying?
That's why people think the same thing.
Only Chen Qian said angrily: "It's just a ranger, and we still have 80,000 people, so why be afraid?" ”
Chen Qian is different from Chen Tai, Chen Tai cherishes the Cao family and is close to Sima Zhaoruo, but Chen Qian fell headlong into Sima Shi's arms and became a rising star in the Central Plains.
Especially in the battle of the Lotus Spoon, with 30,000 weak foot soldiers, blocking 50,000 superior cavalry, Sima Zhao was even more impressed.
This is much better than the high hopes of the sheep.
Under the panic of the people, Chen Qian's calmness made Sima Zhao's heart reassured, "Does Xiu Yuan have a good plan?" ”
"Don't be surprised, there are 80,000 people in the front army, and there is still the strength to fight!" Chen Qian is like a big tree, no matter how urgent the wind and snow are, it can't shake him in the slightest.
Jia Chong's eyes rolled, "You can quickly abandon the baggage, banners, chariots and horses to delay the enemy." ”
Sima Zhao listened to the words of the two, abandoned the baggage, and ordered the soldiers to retreat slowly.
and formed cavalry to supervise the battle, but those who broke away from their own formation were all cut and killed.
The front army quickly regained its composure.
When the approaching Liangzhou cavalry saw such momentum, they cautiously rushed and killed twice, but they were blocked, so they could only follow behind and attack.
The night was dark and the snow was urgent, and I found a hill and ravine, barely able to shelter from the wind and snow.
Fortunately, the two cavalry chasing and killing were also at the end of the crossbow, many cavalry were still galloping, the cavalry on horseback had frozen, and some war horses suddenly screamed, fell to the ground, and could no longer stand up.
Seeing that the night was getting darker and deeper, the cavalry did not dare to pursue and retreated.
Sima Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as we arrive in Suyi, we can defend the city!" Jia Chong encouraged.
Chen Qian poured a scoop of cold water, "The small city of Suyi stands on the plain, if our army defends this city, it will definitely die!" Quartet reinforcements, who dares to come to the rescue? You must retreat to Whitewater City or Linjin! ”
Baishui City has Baishui as a barrier, as well as Huanglong Mountain and Yanmen Mountain to rely on, which was originally a place for the Chinese army to garrison, with a large number of camps and antlers, which can block the Liangzhou cavalry.
Moreover, Baishui City is only less than forty miles away from Suyi.
It was only about sixty miles away from them.
At this time, Jia Chong didn't dare to fight with Chen Qian, "What General Chen said is very true. ”
"Quickly order the Linjin defenders to come to support!" Sima Zhao blew the cold wind for a day, and looked south in a hurry, and now he only feels chills all over his body.
Over the years, his health has not been very good, much worse than Sima Yi.
Although he has been following Sima Yi in the army, he rarely charges into battle, so his body is not very strong.
"Everything in the army is decided by Xiu Yuan!" Sima Zhao was cold, tired, groggy, and a little unsupportable.
"Xiangguo!" Jia Chong's face is more palethan Sima (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 510: Disappointed
Zhao is still pale.
Sima Zhao fell, with his current situation, he couldn't go to the world and couldn't touch the ground, he would be squeezed out of Luoyang at the least, and his head would be unsafe, after all, there were many people who were offended.
Sima Zhao held his forehead with his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, send a messenger again, and let Sergeant Han Ji send an army to aid Guanzhong!" ”
The army was directly handed over to Chen Qian, which was the best choice.
The front army stabilized the formation, and the rear army was defeated.
By daybreak, the snow was much lighter, knee-deep, and there were frozen people everywhere.
Many soldiers hugged each other and were frozen into snow sculptures.
Not many of them really died at the hands of the cavalry of the Liang Army, and the vast majority of them froze to death and escaped.
Chen Tai led a group of soldiers out of the hills, disheartened to death, suddenly pulled out his long sword, and wanted to apologize for his crimes, but was blocked by the subordinates around him, "The general trend has gone, why doesn't Chen Gong abandon the army and go?" ”
The battlefield was still chaotic, stretching from the boundary of Huangling to the boundary of Suyi, more than 70 miles.
The Liangzhou cavalry was also subject to this snow, and the horse's hooves could not open their hooves in the snow, which gave the Chinese army a chance to escape.
As long as you break away from the army, you have a good chance of surviving.
But in this way, Chen Tai is not Chen Tai.
"Such a fiasco, chasing Dongxing and Chibi back then, what face do I have to meet the Central Plains fathers?" Chen Tai is exactly sixty this year, but he is much stronger than Sima Zhao, standing like a mountain in the snow.
It's just that his eyes have become old and tired.
"Princely ......"
The subordinates and the soldiers knelt on the ground.
Chen Tai wanted to apologize with death, but they still wanted to live.
"Prince!"
More and more soldiers knelt down, like wronged children crying out to their parents.
Chen Tai's whole body was shocked, and the old man's eyes became resolute again, "If you don't give up, I will take the lead to return to your hometown!" ”
"I am willing to fight to the death with the prince!" The remnants of this army of 2,000 people instantly turned into a mourning army.
The mourning soldiers rolled bigger and bigger, and they continued to contain the defeated army along the way, and killed them to the south.
If you are thirsty, you will swallow the snow and drink, and if you are hungry, you will cut the meat and eat it.
When people are in a desperate situation, they will explode with great potential.
The people who have survived until now are all tenacious and ruthless.
And the snow gave the Liangzhou army no cavalry advantage.
Chen Taiji is very good at arranging troops, and no matter how chaotic the people and horses are in his hands, they can be pinched together.
The soldiers were also unusually deferential to him.
"The snow is not good for war horses, and the only advantage for cool thieves is war horses! Without war horses, they are just like you, with two arms and two legs! The pro-soldiers repeated Chen Tai's words, constantly boosting morale.
Several Liangzhou cavalry approached, and the war horses could only slow down in the snow, and could not run, so there was no impact.
The remnants of the army raised their spears and looked at death as home, and the Liang army saw that they could not take advantage, so they retreated.
This gives them a huge amount of confidence.
Only Chen Tai's face remained gloomy.
If Sima Zhao returns to the army to rescue, the 80,000 army can be saved at least 30,000 or 20,000......
However, in the white expanse of snow, where is the shadow of reinforcements?
Chen Tai sighed faintly, and the Sima family let him down again.
