The long knife flashed a dazzling brilliance, slashing into the neck of the southern sergeant on the opposite side, embedded in the collarbone and making a tooth-aching sound, and a bloody light burst out, sprinkled on the grass on the riverbank, reflecting the last afterglow of the sunset, with an extremely violent beauty.

Retracting the long knife, Gu Huai changed his tone, looked at the southern army, which was already completely defeated, and turned to Gu Cheng on the side: "If you go further south, it will be the mountains, you must scatter them!" If they were allowed to flee into the mountains, there would be no way to chase them, and only if they were completely dispersed, they would keep fleeing south to Texas! I'll take half of it to the north shore to help, and I'll leave the pursuit to you. ”

Gu Cheng, who was also covered in blood on the side, nodded to understand, and when he turned around and gave the order, half of the cavalry immediately began to turn, killing those soldiers who lost their armor and fled in a hurry, and the harvest of human lives seemed to be as simple as an old farmer harvesting crops in the field at this moment.

At present, the southern army has begun to irretrievably rout, and all this happened was not expected by Gu Huai, on the contrary, the more than 10,000 cavalry was not the hole card that Zhu Di and he used to turn the tables.

The battlefield chosen by the Southern Army this time is really good, the camp of the Southern Army on the south bank of the Baigou River is almost impossible to be crushed by the cavalry as before, a large number of soldiers have been hoarded on the long river banks on both sides, and the rear is mountainous, the cavalry can no longer carry out roundabout raids, so they can only break through the phalanx of foot soldiers, and exchange the lives of the foot soldiers for the lives of the cavalry... The Yugoslav army must be willing.

Across the river, the main force of this war has become a foot soldier, and the role of the cavalry has been greatly limited, Zhu Di's temperament is as always, allowing Gu Huai and Gu Cheng to lead a lonely cavalry army away from the battlefield, as for what to do and what to do, it is all up to them to judge.

It stands to reason that the command of this cavalry should be Gu Chenglai, but I don't know if it's because of the few faces I've seen before, or because the grassland rush battle has reached the ears of the generals of the palace, Gu Cheng is faintly headed by Gu Huai, if this is spread out, I am afraid it will exceed the expectations of many people.

Retracting his thoughts, Gu Huai sighed, he had been watching from the riverbank just now, and for a moment, he really thought that the Yan army was going to be defeated, Zhu Di... It's going to be defeated.

But he couldn't do anything, and the ten thousand cavalry thrown into the battlefield couldn't even make a splash.

But after all, it is time to wait, and when the situation on the battlefield reverses, then this sudden appearance of cavalry will become the last straw that crushes the Southern Army.

To be able to get to this day, there are too many accidents and coincidences, and sometimes Gu Huai can't help but think, if one day this fate-like coincidences and accidents disappear, can Zhu Di still win?

But now it seems that fate is still on Zhu Di's side.

Why Li Jinglong's handsome flag fell, Gu Huai didn't know, it could probably be attributed to accidents and coincidences, the important thing is that this time Zhu Di still won.

He raised his knife: "Order, form a sudden chisel formation, charge the whole army, and go to the aid of the prince!" ”

……

Probably due to the limitations of the times, the soldiers of this era, nine times out of ten are victims of feudal superstition, to this day, there are still many desperate soldiers in the Yan army are attracted by the original Beiping that "red light full of houses, ninety-five life" saying, so now the southern army commander flag has fallen, even if there is now faint news that the main general is not dead, but was blown down by the wind, it can't stop the collapse of the soldiers.

Gale? That's even more outrageous, the flag of war can be blown off, just like someone who does business has smashed a signboard, where is the mood to fight in a panic?

Crossing the southern army camp, Gu Cheng, who pursued the rout, was also very immoral, at this time the southern army camp was also a mess, Gu Cheng took advantage of the situation to set a fire, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, many of the southern soldiers who were still desperately resisting looked back, and the camp fell into a sea of fire under the coming night, and this fire not only completely cut off their last luck, but also made Qu Neng on the north bank suffer.

The changes in the battlefield, it was impossible for Qu Neng not to notice that the Yan army's defense line, which had been torn apart, was suddenly stabilized, and the Yan soldiers, who were already in despair, became vigorous one by one, and the Yan army, which was already in danger, suddenly surrounded him as if he had taken medicine, and the saddest thing was that Qu Neng didn't know what was going on.

Compared with peace, he rushed farther, deeper and closer to Zhu Di, and it was natural that he became the first general of the Southern Army to be completely besieged, until the fire in the south stained the sky red, until he climbed to the top and saw a cavalry of the Yan Army tearing apart the Southern Army and appearing on the south bank, he didn't know... The tide is over.

It seems that the old days have reappeared, and the last time in Beiping City, the inexplicable battle, the inexplicable loss, the saddest thing in the world is that I don't even know how to lose.

Looking around, the periphery had been completely surrounded by the Yan army's foot soldiers, and a Yan army cavalry rampaged through the battlefield, ruthlessly and coldly dividing the soldiers under his command, and then the Yan army swarmed up and stabbed their weapons into their bodies.

The encirclement is shrinking, Qu Neng can already see the face of the main cavalry general of the Yan army, don't think about it, the Yan army can ease his breath and use troops to encircle him, to the south... It must be a complete defeat.

Covered in blood, Qu Neng, who had been fighting from early morning to night, was a little tired, his trembling hand let go of the hilt of the knife, and sat down on the hillside, while his son was still fighting bravely under the hillside.

I don't know how long later, his son also retreated to his side, a galloping horse stopped at the bottom of the hillside, and the young general on the horse raised his head, his lips moved, and said only two words: "Surrender." ”

Qu Neng didn't answer, but just looked at his son, who was still young and had been fighting with him:

"Be here today to be loyal to your country."

There was no unwillingness, no regrets, only resignation and helplessness, the voice fell, and the last hundred or so southern soldiers on the hillside all fought to the death with Qu Neng's father and son.

The young general on the horse quietly watched Qu Neng's father and son finally die in the battle, and was silent for a long time before taking off his helmet and saying, "Don't cut off your head, give them a whole corpse." ”

The face that was revealed was none other than Chen Ping, who looked to the south and sighed.

……

Duoyan Sanwei stepped on the company camp, all the way from the south bank of the Baigou River to the north bank of the riverbank, Gu Huai, who was exhausted and changed to a knife in his left hand, was a little regretful, this way rushed over and killed people when he saw them, the generals of the southern army saw a lot, but they didn't see Li Jinglong.

It seems that Li Jinglong's escape kung fu is as good as ever, and in this chaotic situation, he actually escaped.

News kept coming from all over the battlefield, and Gu Chengbu, who was pursuing to the south, happened to meet Wu Jie, the belated rear army, and when the old marquis arrived at the battlefield, he saw that the southern army was so defeated that he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but Li Jinglong had already led the army to flee south, and he had no way to resist the Yan army alone, so he had to lead the soldiers and horses to turn around and retreat.

But what's interesting is that it is estimated that the old marquis is so disappointed in Li Jinglong that he doesn't even want to run with him, Li Jinglong's direction of escape is Texas, so he went straight west to Zhending, obviously too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Jinglong.

And other generals, such as Guo Ying and others, also fled south with a helpless sigh of powerlessness, and when Gu Huai led his troops to the north bank of the Baigou River, this place had almost been cleared by the Yan army.

Seeing Gu Huai coming to help, Zhu Di didn't talk nonsense, he always liked to kill the water dogs in battle, so he picked up the cavalry and pursued to the south, because of the terrain on the bank of the Baigou River, the cavalry was not easy to play, but at this moment the frontal battlefield has evolved into a pursuit war, and the cavalry can give full play to its strengths, Zhu Di is like a dog skin plaster, sticking to the generals who fled to the south.

As for Li Jinglong... I wanted to chase him, but unfortunately he escaped too early and too fast, and he couldn't catch up at all.

Before the attack and defense, the Yan army was seriously damaged, more than 100,000 soldiers, except for the cavalry who were free from the outside, there were nearly 20,000 foot soldiers killed on the spot, that is, the quality of the Yan army was stronger than that of the ordinary army, otherwise there were so many attritions, I am afraid that it would not be able to survive the arrival of the variables and would be defeated, but then the offensive reversed, and the southern army fled, so that the Yan army was killed.

But the good show is still to come, when Zhu Di led his troops from Baigou River all the way to start the pursuit, the results of the battle continued to expand, all the way down, the southern army suffered nearly 70,000 or 80,000 casualties, and Li Jinglong's 600,000 army, but because of this battle, it lost almost one-third.

It stands to reason that this kind of pursuit should continue until the southern army fled back to Texas and defended the city, Zhu Di also planned to do so at the beginning, the cavalry only rushed to kill in front, and the foot soldiers were collected behind the palace, and the armor tents, baggage and grain and grass discarded by the southern army were collected along the way, and they were full of money, but this situation stopped two hundred miles to the south, next to another river.

All this was just because the elite troops on the opposite side, with high morale and no losses, blocked the southward route of the Yan army.

The leader is Xu Huizu, and this army is his last hole card.

Before going north, he met with Qi Tai, because Qi Tai was too suspicious of Li Jinglong, so he used the power of the military department to hand over an army to Xu Huizu, and this army was used for the queen of the army.

It's good to say that everything is good to win, but to lose... I can only say that I didn't expect this move to really work.

Across the river, the handsome Xu Huizu rode on a horse, as if he was not affected by the defeat of the Baigou River, he looked at the exhausted Yan army on the opposite side from a distance, his eyes wandered for a long time, and finally fell on that figure.

is obviously a relative, but at this moment he seems to be a complete stranger, Zhu Di knows what Xu Huizu wants to say, and he also understands what will be on the other side.

Although he was very unwilling, he also knew that this was the end, whether Xu Huizu had planted mines on the other side of the bank, he didn't know, and he also didn't know if those soldiers who fled back to Texas would become the force of the next counteroffensive, what he knew was that his army needed to rest, and it needed time to digest the results of the battle before he could continue to move south.

After this battle, the initiative on the battlefield was no longer in the hands of the imperial court as before.

Zhu Di turned the horse's head and stopped the pursuit.

The battle of Baigou River ended here.
