Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 339 Defeated Like a Mountain (Part II)
The defeat was like a mountain.
Looking at the fire everywhere in front of him, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were rushed into chaos, they could only fight on their own, and they could not even do an effective self-protection counterattack, and they could only be swallowed up by the enemy in one mouth, Mu Heng had such a powerless feeling in his heart.
Then, there was even more remorse, which made his whole body tremble violently.
This is the foundation of his Mu clan in Sichuan and Shu, and he died in such a battle, even if he can escape back to Huayang this time, I am afraid that the Sichuan Shu Mu clan will also be completely degraded, and it will be difficult to rise again in less than thirty or fifty years.
And all this could have been saved and circumvented.
If he decisively retreats after knowing that Tongchuan has an accident, even if the southern army may take the opportunity to attack, at most he will pay some price, and he can withdraw from the battlefield safely with the vast majority of his men and horses, and then return to Huayang.
Even today, in fact, there is still a chance to save oneself, as long as he does not attack with all his strength, and does not want to defeat the southern army camp in a battle, but leaves a camp to hold, it will not give the enemy in the rear a chance, let alone lead to such a fiasco.
But now, all these regretful thoughts are useless, the army is defeated, and there is no room for recovery.
"Patriarch, let's quickly retreat to Shunzhou, as long as there is a city to defend, there will still be a chance!"
The advice of another confidant counselor sounded beside him, and Mu Heng finally recovered from his self-blame and chagrin, and immediately nodded: "Yes, let's go to Shunzhou, there are tens of thousands of troops and a fortified city, which is enough for us to shelter and wait for the opportunity!" ”
With his order, the guards on the left and right also regained their strength, surrounded him, ignored the continuous screams from the rear, quickly galloped north, and hurried towards Shunzhou.
But before they could run a few miles, another army stabbed out in front of them, blocking their way.
Looking at what they are wearing, they are all Han clothes, and they are the soldiers and horses of Dayue.
Although the person at the head is stained with blood in many places, his bearing is still extraordinary, and his whole body is full of noble and coercive power, it is Sun Ning.
After he led his army to break through the camp of the Northern Army, he withdrew from the front line of the battlefield with the Vietnamese army, and handed over the battle that disrupted the enemy camp and fought against the collapsed Northern Army to the Tongchuan Army.
After all, at this point, victory is inevitable, but the damage is still not small, and in a desperate situation, the northern army will still burst out with a lot of combat power. And these losses are really meaningless to the Vietnamese army, it is better to be high and bright, and give up the credit for killing the enemy.
In addition, Sun Ning also guarded against some of the northern army and turned around and fled to Shunzhou after seeing that it was impossible to do anything, so he waited here early.
"Where to go!"
As Sun Ning let out a low cry, the knife in his hand was raised, and the soldiers behind him did not hesitate to set up a formation and release arrows, and the dense rain of arrows had already been thrown towards the somewhat flustered enemy.
They really didn't guard against it, but there was also an interception, and the brutes who were busy running for their lives and rushing forward quickly fell with arrows, frightening everyone else's footsteps.
Seeing this, Mu Heng was also heartbroken, but when it came to the here and now, he didn't seem to have any other choice, even if he drew his sword in his hand, he shouted: "Mu family warriors, kill with me!" ”
After shouting, he completely ignored his identity, and rushed straight forward.
The guards behind him were inspired by it, and they also came back to their senses, plucked up their courage, shouted and rushed out, and after a while, they ran in front of Mu Heng, who deliberately slowed down.
After Sun Ning heard the shout, his expression moved, and he immediately shouted: "Don't release the arrow, take down that live mouth!" ”
Obviously, the identity of the main general of the team in front of him must not be low, and he is an important figure in the Mu clan, if he can be captured alive, it will be of great benefit to the next Sichuan and Shu raiders!
With Sun Ning's order, the generals who were supposed to release their arrows again quickly stopped, and then after putting down their bows and crossbows, they raised their swords and guns and met them fiercely.
The many battles since the formation of the army have already tempered this new army of the Japanese battalion.
Not only do they have an extremely mature combat system and rules, but they also have the heart to win because of the victories one after another.
There are only a thousand enemies in front of them, and in their eyes, they are existences that can be easily defeated, and they don't have to worry about it in the slightest.
So in the blink of an eye, the two armies collided head-on, although there were only more than 2,000 people, the scale was far from being comparable with the soldiers and horses of the north and south fighting fiercely on the side, but its intensity was not far behind, and even exceeded.
Only one person fought face to face, and dozens of people fell one after another, but the generals behind did not stop, continued to move forward, and actually penetrated each other's military formations.
Even Sun Ning was a little stunned, but at the same time, he was more convinced in his heart that the identity of the main general on the other side must be extraordinary.
So his gaze quickly scanned again, looking for the guy's location.
As a result, he found that among the barbarians who were constantly rushing in front of him, the other party was missing.
Did he fall in World War I, or did he take advantage of the chaos to change his clothes and dress, or even take advantage of the chaos to leave?
Sun Ning swung his sword and slashed the two enemy soldiers in front of him, while looking around, searching for the whereabouts of the other party.
Then, soon, he caught a glimpse of a small group of brutes galloping faster more than a hundred paces to the west, and one of them was the target he was looking for.
The other party really took advantage of the chaos of the battle between the two armies and abandoned the army and left.
"It's that easy!" Sun Ning shouted violently, and as soon as he turned his horse's head, he was about to chase and kill again.
But at this time, seven or eight barbarian soldiers came out in front of him, all of them were not afraid of death, and they blocked his way with their lives, completely ignoring Sun Ning's bloody slashing, and only blindly attacked.
Their purpose was only to drag Sun Ning down, but also to attract the attention of all the Vietnamese soldiers and soldiers, so that they would not be able to divide their troops to pursue their own family patriarch.
With a few pops, Sun Ning's blood wave chopped off several heads without hindrance, but at the same time, the war horse under his crotch was also hit one after another, neighed miserably, fell down, and threw him out by the way.
Fortunately, Sun Ning was strong enough, and the horse had bounced up quickly as soon as he fell, so he was not injured by the attack from behind. At the same time, the Vietnamese soldiers on the left and right also decisively came over to help him and killed all the desperate people in front of him.
But their goal had already been achieved, taking advantage of the time when Sun Ning and the others were entangled to death, several people on Mu Heng's side had fled to the mountain forest on the side, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Although Sun Ning quickly grabbed his horse and chased after him after getting out of the crisis, when he ran over after what he saw before, he couldn't even see the shadow of the other party.
Of course, Mu Heng's escape has no impact on the entire battle situation at the moment, at this time the northern army has been completely killed, and the mountains and fields are all their fleeing figures, and behind them, there are chasing southern troops and Tongchuan troops, as long as they are caught up, they will either surrender or be slaughtered with a knife.
The defeat was like a mountain, and the Mu family, a high mountain in Sichuan and Shu, had completely collapsed......
