Chapter 107: King Gaoyang doesn't talk about martial virtues
Ning Zhong couldn't help but rush up, he finally went around behind Zhu Gaoxu, but he didn't expect the front to suddenly collapse.
But he couldn't have run back with the cavalry again.
On such a big battlefield, he had a cavalry circling around outside, and then ran back, and he couldn't lose his face.
I have to say that Ningzhong is not as good as Sheng Yong and Ping'an, this will be replaced by Sheng Yong and Ping'an, if you can't do anything, what face do you want to do, hurry up.
Ning Zhong ran back without the face, and he still thought that he could kill Zhu Gaochu with a blow in the back.
Boom, he rushed to Zhu Gaoxu's rear with many cavalry, and found that Zhu Gaoxu's rear formation was also turning around, ready to meet them.
When their soldiers and horses rushed over, they also had to cut the infantry of the Yan army following behind Zhu Gaoxu.
The two sides were arrayed within arrays, with infantry among cavalry and cavalry among infantry, and the scene was very chaotic.
But Sheng Yong and Ping'an, who were watching the battle at the head of the city, both had serious faces and were very ugly.
The southern army has collapsed, and Ningzhong is still desperate to rush forward, even if he destroys Zhu Gaoxu, he will be surrounded and killed by the infantry battalion posted by the Yan army, of course, unless Gu Cheng can stabilize the collapsed soldiers and horses, and if he counterattacks, he may be able to save Ningzhong.
The biggest problem now is that if Zhu Gaochu is destroyed, Ningzhong may not have a chance to save Gu Cheng, and Gu Cheng may not have a chance to save Ningzhong.
But if Ningzhong is destroyed, Gu Cheng will definitely be finished.
In order to cut off Gu Cheng's retreat, almost eighty percent of the soldiers and horses around him were sent out to rush forward with Xue Liu.
At this time, there were only more than 300 horsemen around him, mainly Zhou Hu, Song Meng, Zhang Jie, and Wang You.
The four of them originally added up to nearly 500 people, but now there are more than 300 left, and they also suffered heavy losses.
The four of them hurriedly gathered their horses and horses, and then turned their horses' heads.
Ning Zhong's soldiers and horses were tearing open the gap in the infantry behind them and rushing up from behind.
Ningzhong's cavalry was also divided into two, one was used to block the Yan infantry, and more than a thousand horsemen were rushing towards them.
Three hundred to one thousand, about three or four to one.
"Ning Zhong is at the front, and he is surrounded by middle and high-ranking generals." Wang You's eyes lit up at this time.
This guy Ning Zhong actually rushed to the front, and he was surrounded by senior generals.
"Haha." Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Shoot them, Song Meng, you and I shoot Ningzhong, see who hits first." ”
"No." Song Meng grinned.
On the other side, Ning Zhong was leading people to run wildly, but he was running, and his face was a little unsightly, because after Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses were transferred, more than 300 horsemen had turned their horses, but they didn't move in place?
Shouldn't you rush up too? And then the guys are hand-to-hand?
That's how it is to fight on the battlefield, just now your cavalry charged, and we are also charging.
Ningzhong's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the two sides were soon within a hundred paces, but the opposite side still did not move.
Suddenly, the corner of his eyes twitched, and he saw Zhu Gaoxu and the generals in the distance raising their bows one after another, and then, buzzing, a rain of arrows flew up in the air.
The cavalry who were charging on the southern side scolded one after another.
Ning Zhong just wanted to scold his mother, pounced, pounced, and the two arrows on the opposite side almost one after the other, hitting his left and right chests like lightning.
Boom, Ningzhong's figure flew up from the horse's back, and then fell heavily.
The moment he fell to the ground, he was still thinking in his mind that this King of Gaoyang County did not talk about martial arts.
In fact, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to shoot Ningzhong with his own hands, but he wanted to win as quickly as possible, for example, in the current situation, only by killing the opponent's generals could the southern army accelerate its collapse.
In ancient times, the loss of generals in battle was very serious, and sometimes it could affect the situation and even the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield.
Ningzhong was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell, the southern army suddenly panicked, many of his cronies reined in their horses, and some even turned their horses' heads, and the cavalry that was originally galloping suddenly braked, bang, bang, and many of the southern army's own people bumped into their own people.
"The governor has been shot."
"Protect the Governor."
The crowd was very chaotic, everyone wanted to squeeze over to see Ningzhong, and some people felt that the situation was not good, and the outermost wave of cavalry followed behind Ningzhong, and after seeing Ningzhong fall to the ground, without saying a word, he slapped his horse and ran towards his own camp.
"Kill." The Yan Army Infantry Battalion behind them didn't know if anyone saw it, and suddenly their morale was boosted and they roared wildly.
"Dudu--" Someone cried bitterly, and Ningzhong was shot dead on the spot, without even leaving a word.
People cried bitterly one after another, and then jumped off the horse and knelt on the ground, all of whom were Ningzhong's cronies.
The cavalry of the Southern Army immediately faced collapse.
"Let's go." When Zhu Gaoxu saw a large number of cavalry of the Southern Army dismounting, he knew that they were useless, so he immediately turned his horse's head and ordered: "Zhou Hu sent people to find an opportunity to rush back, let the battalion follow, we must destroy Geng Bingwen today." ”
"No" Zhou Hu pouted: "The last general will go in person." ”
At this time, Ningzhong's cavalry was useless, there were Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry shooting arrows in front, and Yan Jun's infantry battalion in the back.
As soon as Ningzhong died, his subordinates were scattered, many people did not resist, and nearly 100 rode off their horses and knelt beside Ningzhong, this is the thinking of the ancients, you can say that they are foolish and loyal, but Zhu Gaoxu likes the current foolish loyalty.
As soon as Ningzhong died, the cavalry on this side collapsed, and the southern army originally had fewer cavalry outside, which was immediately equivalent to losing the cavalry escort on the right flank.
Zhu Gaoxu continued to rush forward with his soldiers and horses, and at this time, the infantry battalion of the southern army in front of him was also retreating one after another, facing the danger of collapse.
But the infantry battalion in front of him still belonged to the right wing of the Southern Army, and did not threaten the strongest Chinese battalion of the Southern Army.
Zhu Gaoxu just wanted to take this opportunity to chase the collapsed right flank of the Southern Army to the Central Army of the Southern Army, and if he could take advantage of the situation to shake the large array of the Central Army of the Southern Army, then he would have a chance to win a big victory today.
But Zhu Gaoxu still tried his best not to control the speed of his soldiers and horses too fast, on the one hand, waiting for the infantry battalion behind to catch up, and on the other hand, he was afraid of rushing too deep and being surrounded by the infantry battalion.
He learned from Xu Xiang that no matter what time it is, he must always pay attention to the changes in the entire battle situation.
At this time, there was a bit of chaos around, because the right flank of the southern army had completely collapsed, the main general Gu Cheng's side was defeated, the outer cavalry was defeated, and the southern army was running everywhere.
Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses were inserted from their waists, dividing the entire right flank of the southern army into two, originally he only had these cavalry was not enough, but as soon as Ningzhong died, the cavalry of the southern army collapsed, and a large wave of Yan infantry troops on the outermost periphery also pasted up.
There was a Yan army in the southern army at the scene, and there was a southern army in the Yan army, and the two sides were already staggered in the easternmost part of Zhending City.
But the southern army could not organize resistance at all, it was running everywhere, and the Yan army was on the side of the pursuit and killing, and it had an overall advantage.
It won't be long before the southern army on this side, which was cut off by the Yan army, will definitely be wiped out.
Among these southern armies intercepted by Zhu Gaoxu, their main general Gu Cheng was also inside.
"Keep rushing forward, don't let Gu Cheng run away." Zhu Gaoxu gave an order while observing the battle situation.
