Chapter 36: The Battle of Siyi

Daxu fell suddenly, and the coalition of princes guarding Yingze also completely collapsed, and no soldiers gathered in formation, one by one, they only hated their parents for missing two legs, and fled frantically.

Wang Sheng didn't care about the soldiers who fled, but hurried to burn the grain and grass, and the grain and grass of the 300,000 army were piled up, and Wang Sheng even secretly collected some grain with the ring of the head of the family.

After igniting the grain and grass, Wang Sheng did not arrest the captives, but drove them back. The grain and grass of the princes' coalition army were burned, and even if there was still grain and grass in the camp of the coalition army, the amount would not be too much. To capture the captives at this time? Do you help the princes save food and grass for the alliance of princes?

Wang Sheng directly drove these remnants of the defeated generals and the people to the direction of the princes' coalition army. After running out of food and grass, the defeat of the alliance of the princes of Qi is inevitable, and he can completely swallow these captives again at that time.

After driving away these remnants of the defeated generals and the people, Wang Sheng did not stay, and left and returned directly with the army. After an hour, Lu Hou was late with the army, and the Yingze camp that appeared in front of him had also turned into a sea of fire, and the mountains of grain, grass, and materials were all swallowed up by the fire.

Seeing countless grains and grasses turned into ashes, and a large number of routed soldiers, Lu Hou also had a dignified face. We can only send a large army to fetch water and fight the fire to see if we can salvage some grain and grass from it.

Wang Sheng took a detour all the way back with the army.

At the same time, the battle between Surabaya and Yishui continued. Wang Chengfu led an army of 50,000 and an army of 20,000 led by Xu Mao to fight.

Xu Mao occupied a land about five miles wide between the two rivers, and when Wang Cheng's father crossed the river, he directly ordered the destruction of the water storage dam.

The surging river collapsed in an instant, and the coalition army of the princes who were crossing the river had no time to dodge, and hundreds of people were swept away at once. The army had to give up the idea of attacking from the river to the flank, and had to confront the Huai army head-on.

However, the Huai army led by Xu Mao is all elite in a hundred battles, and under this kind of terrain, it is very suitable for the Moon Formation. Seeing the Huai army put on this strange formation. Wang Chengfu, who had already learned from the defeat of Zheng Hou, that this formation was powerful, did not dare to attack at all.

After sending a group of men to make a tentative attack, they were shot before they could get close to the line.

After seeing this situation, Wang Chengfu immediately ordered someone to take the big shield and let the soldiers raise the shield to lead Changge to attack. At first, the army did go well, but as soon as it met the enemy, it was found that the enemy used chariots as bones, big shields to cover them, and then beat them with long songs and big sticks, and the princes' coalition army was not an opponent at all.

The Huai army Changge is sharp, Changge has a foot in his feet, the two of them are forceful, even the shield can penetrate, even the person with the shield is directly penetrated, and the rest of the people who dodge Changge are also beaten with a big stick and copper hammer. Coupled with the continuous rain of arrows, the army attacked with heavy casualties.

After losing twice in a row, I was ruthless in my heart, and I wanted to break the formation by forcibly using the chariot, but I didn't find out until the chariot rushed over. The chariot slammed into the large array, and it only shook the large array slightly. The large array of chariots was connected to each other, and it was not at all possible that these dozens of chariots could rush away.

For a while, Wang Cheng's father had no way to break through this battle array. If you continue to fight, it will be complete suicide, the army has failed several attacks in a row, its morale is low, and it will not be good if you continue to fight. Coupled with the fact that the embankment had been destroyed, Wang Chengfu ordered the army to retreat, and just as his army was retreating, Xu Mao understood his thoughts and took the opportunity to attack.

Hundreds of chariots launched an attack in an instant, and in an instant, it was like a landslide and the ground cracked. Although Wang Cheng's father is also a famous general, the morale of the army is low, and the coalition army cannot react at all because it belongs to different vassal states and has no tacit understanding. After Wang Cheng's father gave the order, the coalition army could not be effectively implemented due to chaos, and wanted to re-establish the military formation, but it was too late.

Hundreds of chariots rushed out and crashed into these guards in an instant, and the rumbling chariots broke through the generals' formation in an instant, and then the ruts ran over these soldiers, and the army behind them completely tore apart the princes' alliance army formation in an instant.

The coalition army was already demoralized, and Xu Mao took the opportunity to attack, and immediately caught the princes' coalition army off guard. The army advanced rapidly, and the chariot was like a wedge, and it was fiercely nailed into the army.

The morale was already low, and the army was withdrawing again, but under the sudden impact, the rear front completely collapsed

Break.

The alliance of princes was originally formed by a number of vassal states, and they did not cooperate with each other tacitly, and after the rout, this was even more obvious, and these princes fled one after another, wanting the other party to stop them from taking the opportunity to escape, but unfortunately the other party also planned to do so.

For a time, the alliance of princes was defeated, and the soldiers from all sides rushed to flee. The soldiers fled like dominoes, taking the other soldiers with them. Seeing this kind of scene, even Wang Cheng's father, who is a veteran on the battlefield, is powerless to return to the sky.

After all, in this army, there are less than 10,000 people who are directly controlled by him. Countless routs fled, and Wang Cheng's father did not dare to stay, at this time, the army's heart was shaken, and if he stayed, he could only be surrounded and killed by the Huai army.

Immediately, he no longer cared about the ranks of the other vassal states of the coalition army, and retreated directly with the army of the Qi State. And Wang Chengfu, as the main general, retreated, completely letting the coalition army collapse, and there was no possibility of victory.

The Huai army chased the army all the way for more than ten miles, and when they saw the alliance of the princes coming to respond, Ming Jin withdrew his troops and retreated.

In this big battle, the casualties of the princes' coalition army were not too serious, but the blow to morale was very serious. The entire coalition camp became extremely depressing.

Xu Mao was not greedy for merit, and led the army back to the Huai army camp, the Huai army won a complete victory, and the camp was full of joy, and everyone who was worried about the flooding strategy of the coalition army was completely relieved.

Wang Sheng also led the army to return safely, and after learning that the grain and grass of the coalition army had been burned, everyone was in a big array and prepared to deal with the coalition army of the princes.

On the other hand, there is the camp of the Qi army. Lu Hou sent a messenger to the camp, and after learning that all the Yingze camp had been burned and ninety percent of the grain and grass had been burned, the atmosphere in the camp became extremely solemn.

By this time, the princes also understood the seriousness of the matter, more than 200,000 horses, lack of food and grass, could not support a few days, but if they wanted to evacuate, it would be difficult.

Guan Zhong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, for today's plan, there are only two ways, one is to retreat the army, and the other is to send people back to China to send troops to escort grain and grass, and the other is to continue the attack."

"Our army has been defeated in successive battles, morale is low, and it may be difficult to win if we fight again, so it is better to leave early!"

"The army is short of food and grass, and the enemy army is eyeing us, how can it be so easy for me to retreat?" Qi Hou's face was not good.
