Chapter 455: East Road

The general will inevitably die in battle.

No one is a true darling of the times, they are all just temporary choices by fate.

Gongsun Zhan's death in the human pavilion may be a small wave in this era, but in the battlefield at this time, especially for the white horse servants who have broken through into the enemy formation, it is a collapse of the sky.

They watched their own governor fall in front of them, and in a pool of blood, the governor looked tragic and unrewarded.

So, Zou Dan roared angrily and raised his knife to the sky:

"Brothers, avenge the Governor!"

Zou Dan's shouting and roar instantly ignited the anger of the remaining White Horse Righteous Servants, and they all rushed again, insisting on killing the villain who was plotting against the governor.

But in the midst of the boiling of the group, suddenly a sharp cry came:

"Du Du died in battle, and now Bai Ma Yi obeys me."

But listening to the voice, it was Gongsun Du who hurried to support.

He glanced at his blind brother and ordered in a loud voice:

"As the only Sima of the Gongsun family here, I here's the order that the whole army break through from the east and regroup under the Chinese army."

Gongsun Du's order caused an uproar from the White Horse Yoshiko.

But they couldn't disobey, because Gongsun Du's identity at this time was not the military position of the Han Dynasty, but the identity of the descendants of the Gongsun family in Liaodong and Liaoxi.

In the final analysis, they are still the private army of the Gongsun clan, and they are already under the orders of the Gongsun clan.

At this time, Gongsun Chan was dead, and his two younger brothers, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, were not in the army, and the only one who could call the shots was Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du didn't tell these people why he wanted to break through, he didn't have a chaotic life, he was on the periphery of the battlefield, he had already seen it very clearly, that is, the gap between the enemy phalanx was getting narrower and narrower, and it was obvious that he was going to encircle the Han cavalry.

If you don't break through at this time and run out of speed, staying here is a dead end.

However, Gongsun Du's behavior was thought by Zou Dan and other Gongsun Zhan's cronies and generals that this person was grabbing power.

So Zou Dan angrily reprimanded:

"Your Gongsun Du is just a side line of the Gongsun family, a righteous son of the outside, and you can also be the master of us? Listen, brothers, and follow me to kill the little man with the dark arrow. Who ......"

Suddenly, Zou Dan was hit by an arrow in the throat, and red blood sprayed from the wound, and he couldn't say anything else, so he fell to the ground.

Zhongyi looked at the person who shot the arrow, it was Liu Yi on the side of Gongsun Du.

This man bent his bow and shot angrily, and angrily rebuked the people who were about to move:

"Good dog, this Zou Dan is just a dog of my grandson's family, and now he is barking at his master, how can he keep him? Do you want to follow in this man's footsteps? Think about your own family. Hum! ”

The families of these white horse righteous servants were naturally nurtured in the manor of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, and this method was originally the embodiment of the clan's clamping down on the tribe and showing kindness.

As a result, the righteous servants did not dare to speak, but from the indignant expressions on their faces, it was clear that this silence could be transformed into an explosion at any time.

So Gongsun Du hurriedly stepped forward to appease:

"Our army has broken several formations in a row, the soldiers are tired, and if we continue to fight, we will worry about doom. Now, the governor has died in battle, and our army has no leader, and the top priority is to break out of the encirclement with the body of the governor and recuperate. This battle is still long, and the outcome is still unknown. Gentlemen, please stay useful, don't throw it rashly. ”

Gongsun Du's words are still valid.

Many Bai Ma Yicong knew that Gongsun Du's words were right, and now that Wang Men and Zou Dan had died in battle, they had no backbone.

So, under the half-coercion of Gongsun Du, they carried Gongsun Zhan's body on their backs and broke through to the east.

But in the process, more than forty horsemen left halfway under the leadership of three military officials, obviously to continue to avenge Gongsun Zhan.

As soon as Liu Yi, who was running ahead, saw it, he was about to lead people to destroy these people, but was stopped by Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du looked at the military officials, it was Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, and Le Hedang. These three people are all righteous brothers of Gongsun Zhan, and they are all righteous figures in the market.

He sighed:

"Every time my husband comes out to slaughter dogs, let these people go. My brother is below, and he still needs a few confidants to accompany him. ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du turned his horse's head and broke through from the other direction with his army and the remnants of more than 400 white horses.

Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, and Le Hedang are not stupid, so they naturally know that they are regarded by Gongsun Du as the queen of the palace to prevent disasters.

Especially Li Yizi, who had been a hawker, spat directly:

"The eldest brother is really blind, take care of Gongsun Du, the wolf of Zhongshan, this person will not die well."

The three of Li Yizi, one is doing divination, one is selling people, and the other is doing goods, all of them are unpopular characters in the values of this world.

But Gongsun Zhan loved him politely, not only made a brotherly oath with him, but also called himself Bo, and called the three of them Zhong Shuji. It was even more that the Han generals poured babies into them in the past.

Liu Weitai, as the second among them, looked calm at this time, and said to the two righteous brothers:

"In the past, four of my brothers lived and died together. Now that the eldest brother is gone, what are I waiting for? Killing one is enough, killing two is not bad. ”

Li Yizi and Le Hedang laughed, and heroically charged to the death of the Taishan army that had just shot Gongsun Zhan.

At this time, Chen Cheng in the formation looked respectful.

He looked at the white horse servants who had abandoned the large army in front of him and came back to rush back to kill his own formation, and couldn't help but say:

"It's a pity for such a warrior."

After speaking, Chen Cheng ordered:

"Launch three arrows, the white horse in front of the target."

Under the order, a batch of arrows were densely packed from the front of the formation, and then this batch of white horse Yicong was covered.

Although they have different surnames, they are brothers, mountains and rivers, and heroes have the same contract.

……

Before the news of Gongsun Zhan's death reached the Chinese army, Lu Zhi's mind was seized by the situation on the eastern battlefield.

He was watching the eastern front crumble.

From Lu Zhi's field of vision, the phalanx on his left that could barely support it before finally collapsed.

After another cavalry army came up on the opposite side, the offensive of the Taishan army on the eastern battlefield was accelerating.

The turret broke through the phalanx of the Han army and began the massacre of the Han army.

The horse pierced the armor, and the ring knife cut the head. The Han army pushed each other to dodge, but they could only squeeze narrower and narrower, completely losing the ability to counterattack, and then they were slaughtered by the Taishan army even more unscrupulously.

The Han army's defenses in the east were crumbling.

But at this time, Lu Zhi had no troops to send, at least from the east.

This is the sequelae of the fact that he had just transferred Gongsun Zhan's troops, although he concentrated 20,000 troops to launch a counterattack in the middle, not only blocking the attack of the Taishan army in the middle, but also breaking four or five enemy troops.

It can be said that so far, Lu Zhi has broken Zhang Chong's first wave of offensive.

But inevitably, once the Taishan army began to concentrate its forces in the east to counterattack, the Han army was bound to be unstoppable.

Sure enough, Zhang Chong, who had been paying attention to the dispatch of military forces on the opposite side, soon ordered the Ma Wu Department concentrated in the dense forest to attack on all fronts, and cooperated with Xu Huang's troops and the garrisons of the four towns to make a comprehensive counterattack on the eastern front.

At that time, with the death of Zhou's father and son in battle, Ma Teng's uprising, Zhao Wei's army avoided the battle warehouse, and only Zhao Wei's 2,000-man battalion and the 3,000-man Yan Jing of the former governor of Lu Zhi's account remained on the battlefield.

This amount of strength could still be supported by Yang Mao when he was still afraid, but when Zhang Chong's counteroffensive order came, he couldn't hold it back.

……

The chaotic battlefield on the Eastern Front was full of heart-rending roars.

Yan Jing, who was dispatching military forces on the car, suddenly shouted to Zhao Wei who was lined up next to him:

"Watch out for enemy riders."

But it didn't work.

When Xu Huang and Ma Wu led the Flying Tiger Army and the Tiande Army, as well as Guo Liang's Flying Bear Army, which had rushed to support from the Chinese army, a total of 1,500 cavalry troops directly surrounded Zhao Wei's left flank from the flank.

Too many Han soldiers didn't have time to react before they were cut to the ground by Ma Ji and Huanshou Knife. Three assault cavalry poured in from all directions to the chaotic Zhao Yun troops.

There are also many veterans of Zhao Wei's department, and they are also trying to stab the knights of the Taishan Army on their horses, but these efforts are always powerless under the continuous and rapid impact.

Noise, pools of blood, collisions, no matter how firm the courage is, all seem too pale under this unparalleled impact.

More and more Han troops were coerced by those in front of them and fled north.

In the end, Yan Jing on the car still saw Da Xuxia not far away, Zhao Wei abandoned the army and fled.

He ran away again, and this time he withdrew directly from the battlefield further east.

For a while, Yan Jing was a little desperate.

Looking at the enemy chasing the north, the friendly troops not far away were in a hurry.

He mustered all his strength and shouted:

"Fight to the death!"

But few responded.

At this time, Yan Jing is the real despair.

Turning around and glancing at the rear, there were no reinforcements there, only a large banner with the word "Lu" hanging high on the side.

Yan Jing pulled out the ring head knife and shouted:

"For the sake of the big man, fight!"

After speaking, he personally rushed to the front line with his soldiers. He will lead by example and boost the morale of the whole army.

This is an excellent Han general.

……

On the opposite side, the resistance of the Han army further stimulated the slaughter desire of the Taishan army.

Not to mention that the army is affectionate, people are animals in the field and animals in the environment.

In this passionate battlefield, the adrenaline of the officers of the Flying Tiger Army, the Flying Bear Army, and the Tiande Army was soaring, and they used the ring knives or bones in their hands to kill all the enemies in front of them.

The Han soldiers who knelt down and prayed were all killed by them with red eyes. It doesn't matter if you are a soldier or a soldier, whether you are a sword or an abandoner, whether you are a regular soldier or a servant, all of them are dead.

With the war to the present, with such a intensity, all pity and sympathy is an insult to the robes who have died in battle.

Who allowed you to give up revenge? Who allows you to forget the bloody robes that you sacrificed before?

Kill them all!

By now, many of the turquoises have been slashed mechanically. These Han soldiers have been beaten down, and in the face of the coming butcher's knife, they will only wait for death like chickens.

They were scared silly.

At this time, Yan Jing came up with his soldiers.

The main body of the Zhenbei Army was the Northern Army of Kyoto and the border army of Youren, both of which were military groups with a strong sense of honor and national favor.

That's why Zhou's father and son, Wei Duan's uncle and nephew, and righteous men like Yan Jing have emerged one after another.

They are the essence of the last remaining loyal country.

At this time, Yan Jing was wearing two armors, holding a military flag in one hand, shouting loudly, commanding his subordinates to form a circle formation, besieging and killing the Taishan army that broke in.

With the strangulation of the Taishan soldiers, the cracks in this formation were filled, and the phalanx gradually stabilized.

But this stability is so fragile that when Xu Huang led the Flying Tiger Army to kill, all his efforts came to naught.

Yan Jing is indeed loyal and brave, but unfortunately the military is a contest of strength, not just spirit.

In the end, he was personally cut down by Xu Huang, but in order to express his gratitude to this enemy general who held the line and did not retreat, he did not cut off this person's head.

In this era of meritorious service by the head, this is Xu Huang's highest tribute.

With the end of the banner of the word "Yan", the large array of 3,000 people finally and inevitably collapsed.

As a result, it was visible to the naked eye that everywhere there were Han troops throwing away their military flags and fleeing in the direction of the dense forest to the east.

And Yan Jingbu was already the only force of the Han army on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, and his disintegration officially meant that the Han army was defeated on the Eastern Front.

It's just that this is the general environment, and in specific scenarios, there are still some battalion leaders here who are still maintaining a complete formation.

These small formations were either one hundred and ten people in a row, or two hundred people in a group, all under the command of the grassroots officers of the Han army, maintaining a certain formation and slowly retreating towards the rear.

There, the Han soldiers who had previously retreated were also regrouped there, and although they could not be re-entered into battle for a short time, they could still provide limited security for Lu Zhi's left flank.

In order to reorganize the rout, Lu Zhi sent half of the gentleman's battalion around him.

Only a sufficient number of military officers can do the job.

But that's all Lu Zhi can do.

He looked at the east blankly, and he couldn't accept it in his heart, and the Han army was defeated.

……

At this time, Zhang Chong, who was at the rear of the battlefield, also happily watched the battle in the east.

He couldn't help but say to He Kui:

"This Yang Mao played well, played well."

Of course He Kui will not be disappointed at this time, saying that Yang Mao's strength advantage is great, and what Chinese army has supported the three assault cavalry.

For a campaign, it's not about a fair showdown, it's about whether you concentrate more forces in a space to complete the goal.

He Kui naturally understands this truth.

He just worried:

"Wang, now that Yang Mao's troops have made progress in the east, do you need to let his troops go out to the back of the slope to complete the semi-encirclement attack on the Han army."

Faced with this proposal, Zhang Chong thought about it and refused.

In the final analysis, he was still worried about the reinforcements of the Han army. If Yang Maobu directly stepped forward to invest, then once the Hejian soldiers appeared in the east, he would be flanked left and right, which was very dangerous.

Keeping Yang Mao's troops in the east can be used as a fulcrum to guard against the reinforcements of the Han army, and can also be used as a deterrent force to contain the Han army's reserves.

So, Zhang Chong gave this order:

"Order Yang Mao's troops to occupy the ridge on the eastern slope to deter the enemy's troop transport line and guard against the enemy's possible reinforcements from the east. Order again, regroup the three cavalry divisions that support your troops, cooperate with the middle lane soldiers, and sweep away the remaining enemy troops in the middle lane. ”

This military order was quickly sent to the generals Yang Mao, who had just tasted the joy of the great victory.

For them, the battle is far from over.
