Zhao Rong's soldiers carried his corpse on their backs, and they were about to retreat with the town flag of Zhao County.

But how could Bai Ma Yi see the town flag that was about to fly away, and they all wanted to rush to the horse, but they were stopped by Zhao Rong's soldiers with blood.

After that, around this town flag, Zhao Rong's soldiers and a few white horses snatched from three to three, and finally one soldier was left to withdraw from the battlefield with the town flag covered in blood.

For this reason, even Zhao Rong's body didn't have time to take it away.

Zhao Jun Town collapsed, but there were still many Zhao Jun Town town guards who escaped, and after they saw the town flag covered in blood, they spontaneously moved closer, and then withdrew to Hanoi Town in the rear with the town flag.

There, the only remaining soldier of Zhao Ronghu stubbornly held back his tears and raised the blood-wrapped flag in his hand again.

Under the fluttering banner, he roared:

"Our Zhaojun Town is still there!"

The sound fell, and behind it were dozens of remnants shouting, and the military soul belonging to the Zhao Jun Array was born.

The shouts of these remnants also reached Han Hao's ears in the formation, and at this moment, both legs were injured, and after hearing this, he unconsciously stood up from the stretcher, and he was moved:

"With such a dare to die, can I be the ambition of the Yellow Sky? Come, move me forward, and I will stand with my brethren. ”

Of course, in the end, Han Hao still couldn't stand on the front line, he was carried on a stretcher.

Back on this battlefield, after defeating the Chinese army in Zhaojunzhen, although it was a pity that he failed to capture the flag, he also defeated Zhaojunzhen and could not be reorganized.

Because of the death of a large number of grassroots officials, even if these escaped remnants can reunite under the military flag, they have lost their organization.

There is still a battalion left in Zhaojun Town, which is Liu Gu's, but because Liu Gu has passed out at this time, there is no way to form an effective combat force.

But Liu Gu's battalion leader is one of the few battalions with veterans in Zhaojun Town. These veterans had participated in the Battle of Xiangcheng before, and they were selected by the Han army in this battle.

Under the dispatch of these veterans, although Liu Guying's left flank collapsed, it still successfully withdrew to its original position, and with the support of Yang Mao's own soldiers, it barely stabilized.

But at this time, Bai Ma Yicong, who was driving the rout, pressed over.

They swept across the battlefield and rushed all the way to the trench dug by Liu Guying, and were about to attack. At this moment, a group of five hundred longbowmen suddenly appeared and threw directly at these white horses.

But because the white horse rushed fast, most of these arrows rained down on the riders who had been picking up cheap tents in the back.

After the archers were released, the nearby crossbowmen also began to gather fire.

And these Han knights couldn't rush because there were ravines blocking the road in front of them and blocked by unloaded vans, so they could only wail and fall off their horses under the rain of arrows.

At this time, Wei Chong of Wei County Town also approached with a strong array with a foot lance. Wei Chong even stood on the head, shouting and encouraging his sons:

"Brethren, revenge!"

"Revenge!"

Wei Chong and Zhao Rong, who had just died in battle, were close friends, and they had studied together in the Suijun Academy and were born at the same time.

Seeing his friend's death so tragically, Wei Chong's heart was full of anger.

He gathered all the crossbowmen in the army together, and it was a catharsis to those Han knights who showed off their might.

The effect was remarkable, and the onslaught of the Han cavalry came to an abrupt halt, and a large number of knights fled back in disarray once again along the passage they had just entered.

The horse of the cavalry governor Zhang Chun also fell to the ground with an arrow, and he was quite fat and was directly pressed to the ground by the war horse, and he saw Gongsun Zhan running over, and wailed:

"General Gongsun, save me."

But Gongsun Chan is organizing Bai Ma Yi to rescue his fallen partners at the moment, how can he have time to save Zhang Chun.

And even if he can save it, he Gongsun Chan can't show it, otherwise what will the brothers think.

So he turned a deaf ear to Zhang Chun's shout, but still said to the king on the side:

"You go and call those Chinese soldiers to rush to rescue them, and say it's here."

Wang Men nodded, and hurriedly found a few horsemen and asked them to save their commander.

After Zhang Chunyou got out of trouble without danger, he looked at Gongsun Zhan's back and said hatefully:

"Gongsun Zhan, I'll make you pay."

At this moment, of course, he didn't know that it was Gongsun Zhan who called someone to save him.

But the feud is settled.

As the counterattacks of the Taishan army became more and more concentrated, the space for the Han cavalry became smaller and smaller.

Gongsun Zan and Zhang Chun had no choice but to run away from the blockade with the cavalry, and behind them, the cavalry who had lost their horses threw off their feet and chased the cavalry to escape on foot.

At this point, Gongsun Zhan's last attack ended in a hurry.

Although he defeated the town of Zhao County, the town of Hanoi, and captured the battalion flag, it did not make the Taishan army give up resistance, and his original goal was not achieved.

But there is no intention to bloom and flowers do not bloom, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows.

Gongsun Zhan's surprise attack, although it failed to open up the situation in the east of the battlefield, caused chaos in the west.

It turned out that when Gongsun Chan retreated, they went around directly from the west side of the battlefield, and then rushed directly to the right rear of Cai Qu's department, which was the location of the baggage of the Central Protector Army.

Since the beginning of the war, the baggage battalion of the Central Protection Army has been standing here, on the one hand, to help the wounded sent down from the front line, and on the other hand, to transport supplies and arrows to the front line, providing guarantee for the army's long-term operation.

The baggage soldiers were originally a lot of livestock, but at this time, they suddenly encountered a large-scale rush of the Han cavalry, and those cattle were in a mess.

Many ox carts carrying heavy loads ran into the dense forest and disappeared because they were unrestrained.

The heavy blow to the supply of the Central Protector Army was something that Gongsun Zhan never expected, but at this time, he couldn't think about it anymore.

Because the assault cavalry of the Taishan army has already chased after it violently.

At the head is the previous brave 10,000 enemies, by the way, what is his name?

Yes, it's Changshan Zhao Zilong.

Gongsun Chan tried to kill the remaining cavalry back from the cracks in the battlefield, but Zhao Yun and the cavalry bit them tightly.

The Han army cavalry at the end was Wang Song, whose family was the Yuyang Hao clan, and was the ethnic group of the Marquis of Wujiang in the early years of the dynasty.

Wang Song saw that the person named Zhao Zilong was chasing so closely, and he was irritable for a while, and finally stopped running, and scolded and said:

"Naigong has never escaped like this, go back with us and them. Really when he, Zhao Zilong, is a dragon, on. ”

Wang Song is also a first-class hero, with a good family background, and the people below are naturally attached to him.

Therefore, seeing that the Lord was about to recoil, they also followed, and they pulled the bridles of the horses and began to turn, ready to give Zhao Yun, who was chasing after him, a ruthless blow.

There are about 200 riders in this Han cavalry, and the new crimson battle clothes on their bodies will also be wrinkled, but the bloodthirsty expression is becoming more and more intense.

But in less than a moment, our Wang Song was captured alive by Zhao Yun with one hand in the air.

At this moment, Wang Song was beaten and bruised, tears and snot bubbled up, and he called Zhao Yun Weng Weng, and then he was punched twice by Zhao Yun.

Although he defeated Wang Songbu, he also lost the rest of the Han army. However, Zhao Yun was not angry, and the horse in his hand tapped Wang Song's Wu Ben, and said with a smile:

"If you can't catch Gongsun Zhan, you can make up a number of small fish."

After speaking, Zhao Yun withdrew with the rangers of the Tianwei Army.

On Gongsun Zhan's side, he did not reduce the danger because Zhao Yun gave up the pursuit.

In fact, it was a very dangerous thing to take the cavalry through the battlefield, and the war horse under Gongsun Zhan's crotch was a thousand miles of horse given to Lu Zhi by the Wuhuan people, called "Tabai".

After passing through a position of the Taishan army, Tabai was hit in the flank by an arrow, and it still carried Gongsun Chan out of the battlefield.

When it arrived at an open space, Tabai finally couldn't hold it anymore, it collapsed weakly to the ground, and finally knelt on the ground sensibly, so that it was convenient for the master to dismount.

Gongsun Chan was originally a person with a temperament, and when he saw that Aima was so sensible, he stroked it and burst into tears.

At this time, the royal gate had already rushed up, and he hurriedly gave up his war horse to Gongsun Zhan, and he followed on foot.

Gongsun Chan was unwilling, but Wang Men roared angrily:

"General, the Han family can be without my king, but it can't be without a king. Please get on the horse quickly, and I will kill the general. ”

Wang Men first pushed Gongsun Chan onto the horse, and then pulled the bridle to open the way for Gongsun Chan.

But because Zhao Yun gave up the pursuit, Wang Men, Gongsun Zan and others finally succeeded in returning to the Han army's position.

On the left flank, Zhang Chun was also running back with his tent assault cavalry, but on the way, he was pursued by Yan Gang of the Tianwei Army.

Yan Gang's cavalry had been patrolling around the battlefield, and when he saw that the Han cavalry was about to withdraw, he led his troops to volley. They attacked Zhang Chunbu from the flank, killing them and running for them.

In the end, Zhang Chunling and his cavalry blocked Yan Gang before he broke his tail to survive and returned to the rear of the Han Formation.

At this point, the final blow of the Han army ended.

Seeing this result, Lu Zhi, who also had a bit of luck in his heart, sighed, and finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

And over there, Yang Mao and Cai were indeed unable to fight again after the Han army Mingjin, so they successively withdrew their troops. And so the day's fighting ended.

As night fell, Cai Qu's central guards entered the Dingting Pavilion wall one after another to rest.

Together with Yang Mao, he also wrote a briefing on the daytime battles on this day, ready to report to Zhang Chong in the rear.

The summary of this battle by the two is that it was a hard battle, and they suffered heavy losses, and they were no longer able to fight again. Judging from the battle during the day, it is obvious that the Han army has not done its best, so the two urgently need reinforcements from the king's base camp.

At this time, they didn't know that Zhang Dan's right army marshal had defeated the Han army's partial division of the Hejian Army and was catching up.

In their minds, the one that still has a surplus of troops is the king's base camp.

In addition to asking for reinforcements, the two also gave a little introduction to the dazzling achievements of this battle, focusing on Zhao Yun's several meritorious contributions, but they did not say much about the battle damage.

After writing this, Yang Mao simply entertained Cai Qu, eating coarse corn, some berries, and a slightly rare piece of venison, which was previously reserved by Liu Qian's Han army in Dingting.

And inside the pavilion wall, the Taishan army is also having dinner.

After the day's fighting, they were all hungry, but because the previous middle protector had lost part of their baggage, it would be difficult to replenish them.

Everyone should have had a portion of dried meat, but now they can only get half a share, and everyone sits silently by the campfire, remembering the robes that died in battle, and their morale is low.

These local garrisons have always fought some thieves or powerful dock walls on weekdays, and although they have also experienced casualties, they have never fought a major battle of such intensity.

In this battle during the day, the robe was the death of the whole thing, and often before he came back to his senses, the robe in front of him was drowned by the enemy horse.

It's miserable.

And the mood of the officials of the Central Protector Army was slightly better, after all, Zhao Yun fought really beautifully, which greatly boosted morale. And they are all old people, and they are used to this kind of life and death.

Therefore, there are many people who melodiously sing the songs of their hometown, remembering the robes who died in battle, but they still have the ambition to make contributions.

It's just that they are too difficult, because the wall is small, so they can only throw the robes who died on the battlefield. This is the most uncomfortable place for them.

The melodious folk songs of the Taishan army drifted in the night, and the Han army was not comfortable. Who will be the winner on this day?

August 8, early morning.

In the north two miles near yesterday's killing field, it is the place where the Han army camped. Yesterday's Han army slept on the ground, with their heads resting on their halberds, ready to deal with the war at any time.

After a cold night, the sentries on duty yesterday began to return to the camp to rest. The Han army, who woke up, had to find water for the wounded to drink.

Wounded soldiers who have lost a lot of blood will be thirsty frequently.

But it was in the process of delivering water to the wounded soldiers that these Han soldiers, who did not participate in the battle yesterday, knew how tragic the battle was that day.

The wounded soldiers lay on the battlefield all night because they did not have time to transport them. Everywhere around them were twisted corpses with pained expressions on their faces. Some wounded soldiers were even crushed overnight by rows of corpses.

The Han soldiers picked up the wounded from the pile of corpses and gave them water. If they meet familiar comrades in the process, they will take down their relics and send them to their families.

Most of the border troops of the Zhenbei Army are from good families, and this may be the last batch of high-quality officials of the Han Army.

At this time, on the battlefield, in addition to the wails of the wounded, there are all kinds of birds and beasts on the periphery. They weren't forced by these living two-legged beasts to come forward and feast on them.

The aftermath of the battle continued, and on the periphery, the sentinels of the Taishan army were still engaged in a confrontation with the Han sentinels who came out to search for water.

While most of them were still asleep, the blood of these valiant knights was already stained in the dense forests and by the streams.

War really has never been a game for weak cowards.

It may be that he saw that the fighting spirit of the Taishan army was still there, so Lu Zhi decided to leave two battalions of about 2,000 people as the queen of the palace.

Then, around mid-morning, the whole army marched and retreated towards the Zhongren Pavilion to the north.

And Yang Mao did not stop him after learning that the Han army was retreating north.

Three hours later, Zhang Chong arrived with the main force of 20,000 people in the base camp.
