Chapter 103: Five defeats
The battle lasted until dusk.
There was no suspense, Zang Ba's army was defeated. When he moved to the left, the rightmost Wu Dun army was defeated before fighting, and the Langya thieves hugged Wu Dun and Pan Da and left the battlefield from the right side.
From here they will enter Mount Lu.
Although there was no marching road over there, and Wu Dun's 800 people could only disperse into the mountains, it was better than staying here to die. It's better to go into the mountains and fight, and whether you live or die depends on the destiny of heaven when the time comes.
Then there are the second grandchildren of Pobei. They have the best vision, and they can see the situation of the entire battlefield on the slope. The Taishan soldiers attacked like fire, and the Langya thieves retreated like the wind. When they saw that Zang Ba Daxu had moved to the left, they didn't dare to stay any longer, and they immediately turned over the slope and were about to withdraw to the battlefield.
But halfway through, the second grandson brothers couldn't restrain the troops. First of all, the 600 soldiers that Zang Ba gave them, except for some who were shot to death, the rest were all defeated. Then there are the Shanliao people in the second grandson's own headquarters, they are scattered in the forest to survive, and they have no ambition to participate in any big war, and they are also frightened by this big war.
So the night is getting darker and darker, and the two brothers Sun Kang and Sun Qing are getting fewer and fewer, and the hearts of the people walking are getting colder, and they don't dare to rest at all along the way. Just heard the inexplicable wind and black cry behind him, he thought that the pursuers had arrived, and hurriedly scurried.
Finally, there is Zang Ba.
When he returned to the battle, he knew that the ten soldiers in front of him could not withdraw as soon as he looked at the battlefield situation. He immediately broke his wrist and prepared to retreat with the most elite two hundred guards.
In order to attract military strength and gain time for him to retreat, he left Daxu to his central protectors.
He and the guards changed their clothes, each took only a ring-headed knife, and was about to say goodbye to his central guard.
Zang Ba looked at this ang man, he was his father's humerus, a brother, and his uncle, but he didn't expect to fold here today. Thinking of this, Zang Ba sadly grabbed the hand of the Zhonghu Army and cried:
"I'll entrust my uncle with the future."
The middle guard was tearful, speechless and choked, and from time to time there was the sound of his brother being killed by Taishan Kou. These Langya will be born and die with him with Zang Jie, and finally be cut off in the hands of Zang Ba, a vertical man, and his heart is like ashes for a while, he said angrily:
"Who is to blame for the collapse of the army?"
Hearing this, Zang Ba was ashamed to death, thinking of his father's expectations when he gave him the talisman, Zang Ba regretted it in his heart, and regretted that he should not accept those mountain people.
But in the end, Zang Ba still refused to admit defeat, and he replied in a snort:
"Today's events are not victorious or defeated. I should go back to Langya Mountain, regroup, and fight again with the Taishan thieves. ”
Listening to Zang Ba's words, Zhongling was stunned. He didn't know if he didn't expect Zang Ba to be so indomitable, or he didn't expect it to reach such a point, throwing the lives of countless children, and finally he couldn't even say that I was to blame. In short, he was stunned.
In the end, the leader of the army himself didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed, put on his hood, waved his hand and asked Zang Ba to take people away, and then moved Daxu to the west. Zang Ba opened his mouth, but he still didn't say that sentence, regretting that he took the remaining two hundred guards to the east.
He knew that the only way to survive on the battlefield was to the east.
There is a large army in front, there is a Taiping Road of Qi in the back, and there are hills on the left, if you go from there, how can you escape from the pursuit. On the contrary, it is a mountain in the east, although it will be dark into the mountain, which is extremely dangerous, but the night and the mountains also provide protection for them, plus there is a central guard army with their own soldiers to move west to attract troops, Zang Ba is confident that he can still escape from the ascension.
In this way, Zang Ba and others killed the rout indiscriminately, the ring knife in his hand was a hundred refinements, and there was no blood in the killing, just hacked a rout soldier to death here, he started to perform again, he wiped off the blood on the blade with his cuffs, and said proudly:
"This blade is enough to kill a thief, and who dares to stand in my way."
But no one paid attention to the left and right, and they were all rushing towards the eastern mountain, Zang Ba sighed, and the people's hearts were scattered. I can only take a big stride and run for my life.
Zang Ba remorseful here, and attributed this defeat to the Taiping Dao of Qi State and pretended to be the Yilu Mountain Liao. But in fact, Zang Ba lost unjustly, and he lost at least five times in this battle.
The defeated army is not strict. He moved his army north, recruiting bandits all the way, his generation was a chaotic army, how could he fight a strong battle with this generation, not to mention that Zang Ba also put his army's formation behind him. Yes, Zang Ba has his own plans, and he wants to use this to show favor to the bandits. But this is the right of the winner, and you Zang Ba has not yet decided the outcome of this battle, and you are already thinking about these things and not, why are you not defeated?
I don't know who is defeated twice. Zang Ba used soldiers to Taishan, has anyone investigated this Taishan Qukui? What is the background of their people, whether they have potential allies, how many soldiers can fight in their generation, how many troops are in the limit, and what are the brave generals under their command. These Zang Ba didn't know anything, so they regarded the Taishan thieves as reckless as the Langya thieves he usually surveyed. I don't know the other, why is it undefeated?
The three defeats are not secret. Zang Ba was so angry that he asked a country farmer he thought was useless to send a letter to him and humiliate Zhang Chong. What is the use of such fierce warfare? It's just a child's play, thinking that they are winning. On the contrary, he didn't know what to do, so he sent Zhang Chong a wise man who had an enmity with him and had insight into wisdom, and what he sent was the bottom of his army. Because the general is not secret, why is he not defeated.
The four defeated soldiers could not. Whoever uses soldiers will send scouts to the four miles to probe the surrounding letters. But what? After Zang Ba came out of the mountain, he only knew that the camp was down, but he didn't know how to ride out. Because there was no sentry cavalry, when Zhang Chongbu had already detected that Taishan's Haoqiang soldiers had arrived, he Zang Ba returned to the lake and Hutu, only holding on, and lost the fighters that attacked on both sides of the Haoqiang soldiers. For generals, soldiers can't, why not be defeated?
Five defeats are uncertain. When Zang Ba raised the army out of the Yilu Pass, he decided to stick to it and wait for the attack. But then he learned that Taishan Kou was already fighting, and he couldn't bear the ingenuity in his heart and wanted to take advantage of the situation. Li Lingzhi fainted, and the department poured out. Yes, the way of using troops should indeed be in response to the situation, but all this is done with accurate information on the dynamics of enemy soldiers. Those who have not been generals do not take the military report as a letter, but speculate with each other, how can they not be defeated?
With these five defeats, how did Zang Ba lose.
What's more, Zhang Chong's Taishan soldiers are far superior to Langya thieves in terms of morale, battle formation, armament, and martial arts, not to mention that Zhang Chongmiao is more than Zang Ba.
Really answered that sentence:
"The husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and the one who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, it has to be counted as less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts!"
That's true!
In the chaos of the battlefield, the fighting continues.
The gang of Langya thieves under Zang Ba's command were brought out by his father, and they also had great achievements and were not afraid of death. Even if there was no array, they did not put down their swords and halberds, but a few familiar people leaned together and fought to the death on the battlefield.
Zhang Chong, who was under Daxu, saw that the Langya soldiers were only fighting for nothing, so he dealt the final blow to their courage.
Courage never fell from the sky, and the reason why these Langya thieves are still deciding to die is because the big face is still standing behind.
The Zang on that side is not Zang Ba's Zang, but Zang Jie's Zang. As long as Zang is here, their courage is there.
Zhang Chong took the pocket held by the cross-collision team, and with the help of several soldiers, he got on the horse. This will be about to charge, he changed a collar armor, and fell down the iron face, in the narrow line of sight, only the word "Zang" on the face.
He raised the horse in his hand, and his voice muffled from the iron mask:
"Rush!"
Tian Jun, Ren Yun, and Xi Shen behind him will call:
"Rush!"
Then the forty horsemen got down from the big Xu, the iron hooves flew up, and sprinted straight towards the big Xu with the word "Zang".
There is no more strict formation ahead, and the front is unimpeded. Zhang Chong completely let go of the horsepower, and the horse smashed left and right, and the incomparable force made all the people who were hit by it cry out.
When Zhang Chong rushed to the enemy's big bow with blood, he saw a gray-haired veteran sitting under the horse, and behind him was a big banner with the word "Zang".
The veteran seemed to have unparalleled power and courage at this moment, and he roared at the iron-faced Zhang Chong:
"Come and cut off the head."
Zhang Chong was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head to him with iron, and then as soon as Ma Ji was right, he rushed towards the veteran. In the staggered room, a white head with angry eyes and teeth rose to the sky, and the blood spurting out of the neck was sprinkled directly on the big curtain.
Over there, Tian Jun chased after him, cut off Daxu with a knife, and his own turquoise horse picked up the "Zang" flag and handed it to Zhang Chong. Zhang Chong covered the flag on his horse, thought for a while, and was about to pursue to the left with his sudden horse.
He knew that Zang Ba would inevitably go in this direction.
At this time, the rider behind him admonished:
"Ditch, it's dark, and you can't ride the horse anymore. Besides, let's fight for a day, everyone is tired, let's chase it tomorrow. It was dark, and Zang Ba couldn't go far. ”
Zhang Chong turned around, and suddenly saw that the horsemen under his command were steaming all over, and the horses under his crotch were also humming and sticking out their tongues, he resisted his anxiety and persuaded:
"Zang Ba Haojie, can get the strength of soldiers. If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue now, you will suffer for me for a long time. Brethren, rush with me for a while. ”
The cavalry did not speak again, and continued to search for the east with Zhang Chong.
Sure enough, under Zhang Chong's field of vision, the routs here were obviously elites, and he didn't care about smashing these routs, and once again lifted his horse to pursue to the east.
Finally, at the mouth of the mountain, Zhang Chong saw a bright master in the dark night, guessing that this person was Zang Ba, he raised his bow and shot an arrow at him, but was dodged by the opposite side, and shot again, this time in the middle, but his person also disappeared in the mountain gap.
Zhang Chong was in a hurry, and when he chased the horse again, he suddenly dismounted from the horse with a wail, and then fell down with white foam as soon as he knelt on his front hooves. And Zhang Chong only heard a burst of exclamations from the generals in his ears, and he was turned out for a few feet.
Lying on the ground, looking at the stars in the sky, Zhang Chong was dizzy, and his whole body couldn't move for a while.
When many of the horsemen saw the ditch, they suddenly lost their hooves and flipped out, and lay motionless on the ground, and all the souls of the dead jumped off their horses, and they rushed back to the camp with their hands and eight hands.
In this way, the entire battlefield was only five miles away from the westernmost wall, and Wu Dun's subordinates Ruan Zhong and the warlock Jiang Sheng were abandoned, and without knowing it, they were the loneliest to hold on.
The stars are so bright this night.
