On the battlefield, things change quickly, but one thing is eternal - as long as the main commander of the enemy army is defeated, it means that victory will be completely established.

Qin Yuheng, as the chief general of thousands of elite cavalry of the Pingtian Army, is actually the main general of the main force of the entire Pingtian Army that has been killed under Liangzhou City at this moment, and his personal life and death have naturally become the key to whether all soldiers can fight to the death.

And he is obviously not a qualified commander, brave and irritable, light death and heavy bravery, once suddenly killed, the impact on the entire army is completely devastating.

Just after he was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and then was trampled by the men and horses of both sides who couldn't stop galloping back and forth, and turned into a puddle of flesh, the soldiers of the Pingtian Army, who were already flustered because of the sudden ambush of reinforcements from the Vietnamese army, immediately collapsed.

If he is still alive, he may be able to use his own prestige to stop the bullet pressure, but once he dies, everything will be empty.

Many cavalry on his left and right were only stunned for a moment, and they no longer had the bravery they had before, and they did not dare to engage the enemy in front of them again, so they immediately turned their horses and left.

And this time, they even became the culprits of destroying their own follow-up army lineup, and they actually disrupted the formation of tens of thousands of foot soldiers in one fell swoop, helping the Vietnamese army that had already killed the generals to complete the cutting of their own army.

Seeing such a situation, how could the Vietnamese troops let go of such an excellent opportunity to break the enemy in one fell swoop?

In the sound of drums and trumpets at the head of the city, whether it was Nie Long, who led the troops to fight back, or Gu Yaohua and Liang Wentong, who had been hiding behind the city, they all cheered up, waved their troops all the way to attack and press, and drove the main force of the Pingtian Army, which had long been chaotic, and killed them towards the east.

For a time, the army on three sides outflanked and blocked, completely controlling at least sixty or seventy percent of the enemy army on the plain east of Liangzhou City, killing them on their backs and wounding them.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, some officers and men of the Pingtian Army immediately lost the courage to fight again, and threw down their weapons one after another and surrendered on the spot.

More soldiers and horses in the rear originally planned to take the opportunity to enter the city, so as to loot and make meritorious contributions, but in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed, and the army turned from victory to defeat. This was an unimaginable blow to their hearts, and naturally they collapsed faster than the military horses in front of them, and before the enemy army could kill them, they had already turned around and fled.

When this scene of collapse suddenly appeared, Qin Yude on the hillside couldn't believe his eyes.

Is all this true? Isn't it a nightmare that is ridiculous to the extreme?

Obviously, his own family was the victor who had the upper hand and was about to break the enemy and seize the city, why did the battle suddenly turn upside down?

Moreover, how could the Vietnamese army have ambushed soldiers behind the city and concealed everyone?

He gritted his teeth, trembling all over, his eyes almost split, until the people around him shouted several times, and someone dragged him violently, so that Qin Yude came back to his senses from his panic.

"Governor, let's go quickly, otherwise the army will kill and you won't be able to leave."

"If I don't leave, I won't be defeated like this, our army is still more than them, and it is impossible to be defeated like this......" Qin Yude still refused to accept this defeat, and thought of relying on his prestige in the army to save the situation.

But it was impossible for his men to let him take such a risk, so they immediately put him on his horse, and then carried him by him, and rushed straight down the hill, and under the escort of only two or three thousand men, they hurriedly beat their horses and rushed straight to the rear camp.

The defeat is like a mountain, and now, even if Qin Yude, one of the three major commanders of the Pingtian Army, stands up, it will be impossible to clean up the mess.

The only hope is to retreat to their own camp, rely on the remaining soldiers and horses over there, as well as the camp that was deployed before, to stabilize the situation, and then try to retreat.

Yes, in the eyes of these subordinate generals, this expedition was a complete failure, and it was already the best result to be able to return to Kaifeng safely with the remnants of the army.

And as he retreated straight to the rear with so many people half surrounded and half coerced, Qin Yude, who had gradually settled down, finally accepted this helpless reality.

Although his breathing was still rapid and heavy, and his eyes were still red, he had no intention of returning to his senses and fighting again.

Behind him, the sound of killing was wave after wave, and countless defeated troops were caught up by the Vietnamese army, either dead or surrendered. And the sound is fast approaching them.

These more than 20 miles of land are really the longest and most difficult part of Qin Yude's life, and it seems that he can't reach the end no matter how he runs......

Finally, when the sky was completely dark, there was a faint army in front of him, and there was also a large army rushing forward, which was Qin Yuxiang's department who rushed to the rescue after hearing the news.

After seeing his brother An Ran retreating, Qin Yuxiang was finally a little relieved, and then commanded his soldiers to immediately step forward to meet the enemy and block the enemy's pursuit, while stepping forward to comfort his brother: "Big brother, although we were defeated today, we are not completely desperate, as long as we retreat in time and enter the rear city, we can protect ourselves and collect the remnants of the army......

Just as he said this, trying to calm his brother and the surrounding soldiers to calm down, and then retreat back to the camp, a loud military horn suddenly sounded from the side.

Then, a huge army of fire dragons screamed and slaughtered at them.

The number of people in this team is not too large, and it is only 10,000 people.

But the problem is that they came too suddenly, and the timing of their appearance was extremely coincidental, when Qin Yuxiang sent all the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command to block the pursuing soldiers, and he only had a few remnants of five or seven thousand defeated troops here.

These soldiers and horses had neither a camp nor a fighting spirit, and when they were suddenly attacked, they naturally broke down again and fled in all directions in the darkness of the night.

In the end, only a thousand horsemen were left to protect the two brothers of the Qin family, and they fled straight to the west.

This time, they really had no hope at all, who would have thought that on the side of this plain battlefield where the two armies were facing each other, there would be such an ambush all the way?

And in fact, this ambush is also arranged by the Dayue Imperial Court!

For this day, Sun Ning and the Jinling ministers really took great pains to lay a real trap for the Pingtian Army.

The previous abandonment of the city and retreat, on the one hand, was to lure the enemy deep and tire the enemy, and on the other hand, it was also to create time and space for the current game.

After all, whether it is to mobilize troops and horses from Jingzhou and other places, or to send troops from Lianghuai to set up ambushes, it will take quite a while.

And Qin Yude's steady progress after capturing the city all the way before created plenty of time for them, so that they were completely caught in this encirclement.

Until today, there was a rout in Liangzhou City, and the whole army was annihilated......
