Chapter 188: The Southern Army Retreats! Geng Bingwen's helplessness and amazement!
"Long live King Yan!"
"Yan Jun Wansheng!"
As Gu Cheng led the army to surrender, the Yan army suddenly erupted in deafening cheers.
All the soldiers looked at Zhu Di, the king of Yan, with admiration and awe in their eyes!
Weak wins strong, less wins more, and it's still a hearty victory!
His Royal Highness King Yan led them to do it!
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
Hearing the screams of these soldiers, Zhu Di also smiled with satisfaction.
With such morale and such an iron army, why is it undesirable in the world?
But he wasn't carried away by the upgrade.
After a short period of joy, Zhu Di immediately ordered to clean up the battlefield immediately, and then quickly moved.
Half an hour later, the Yan army led the army to transfer in a hurry, directly abandoning a large number of weapons and baggage of the southern army, and just took away the grain and grass materials, and the bones of the soldiers of the Yan army!
When Geng Bingwen personally led the main army to the battlefield, he only saw the corpses of the southern army all over the ground, which suddenly made his face change wildly!
After a while, Guo Ying also arrived with a left-wing army, and his face was also difficult to see.
Guo Ying's left-wing army went straight to Hejian Mansion City to help Xu Kai and others stationed in Hejian City.
However, the Yan army really did not attack Hejian City, and just as Guo Ying was about to pass on the military information, he received an urgent request for help from Gu Cheng first.
The right-wing army and the main force of the Yan army encountered, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides!
Upon learning of this news, Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen immediately sent troops and hurried to help.
However, most of their corps were mainly infantry, so they slowed down the rush to help.
When they arrived at the battlefield, they saw only corpses all over the ground!
Guo Ying was a little incredulous, and her eyes were full of fear.
"General, this ...... Impossible, right? ”
Geng Bingwen's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't say anything.
He understood what Guo Ying wanted to say, but he didn't want to believe it!
You must know that the right-wing army has an army of 40,000, and it is also under the command of Gu Cheng, the famous general of the founding of the country!
How could such a right-wing army be defeated by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in a short period of time, and even Gu Cheng, Ningzhong and other generals are unknown in life and death?
How is this possible?
Could it be that the combat power of the Yan Army is really so terrifying?
Geng Bingwen immediately ordered to disperse the sentry cavalry to collect the remnants of the army and the defeated army!
He wanted to know what was going on on this battlefield and what Gu Cheng's right-wing army had experienced!
Another half an hour passed, and the southern army sentry cavalry brought back a lot of soldiers who had fled, and at the same time, it was also discovered that the Yan army's iron cavalry did not go far, but was stationed directly in Wuji County, and even the sentry cavalry of the two sides had fought!
Hearing the news, Geng Bingwen endured the infinite killing intent in his heart and took the lead in interrogating those deserters.
"General, we are defeated, defeated!"
"The Yan Army's Iron Cavalry is too terrifying!"
"They're all a bunch of crazy people!"
One by one, the routed deserters roared frantically, obviously frightened by the Yan army's fearless charge and attack!
As a result, Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen did not get any useful information at all, and they became more and more frightened and uneasy about it.
It wasn't until a partial general appeared that the ins and outs of the matter were revealed.
"Our army received a request for help from Li Jian, the commander of the horses, and because of his special status, General Gu Cheng immediately led the army to help."
"However, by the time our army arrived at the battlefield, the Yan army had successfully swallowed Li Jian's 10,000 vanguard army, and instead of retreating, it confronted our army in a grand manner."
Hearing this, Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
His Royal Highness King Yan is really daring, and he didn't take them into account at all!
The general continued, a panicked look on his face.
"Immediately after that, General Gu Cheng set up a six-flower army formation and prepared to wait for reinforcements, and at the same time ordered the herald to notify the two generals to come to help."
Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen nodded, and had to admit that Gu Cheng's approach was indeed the safest.
As long as Guo Ying's left-wing army and Geng Bingwen's main army arrive, under the attack of the three armies, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will be defeated!
This six-flower army formation can be regarded as prestigious, even if it is not enough to bite the Yan army cavalry, but it is enough to protect yourself!
In this case, how could Gu Cheng's 40,000 right-wing army be scuttled through by the Yan cavalry in such a short period of time?
Could it be that someone is on the verge of surrendering to the enemy?
"And then, it's a nightmare!"
The general recalled the battle, and his whole body trembled with fear.
"The Yan army first sent 10,000 cavalry on three roads to launch a fearless charge and attack on our army's military formation!"
"Those Yan army cavalry are like madmen who are not afraid of death, and they broke through the front army formation of our army with their lives!"
"General Gu Cheng immediately ordered the cavalry of the rear army that had been prepared for a long time and the strange soldiers of the central army formation to quickly support the front army formation!"
"However, no one thought that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was waiting for this opportunity, he had already sent three cavalry to outflank the rear of our army, and as soon as the rear cavalry moved, these three cavalry immediately launched a surprise attack, catching General Gu Cheng off guard!"
"And...... Those Yan cavalry ...... It's all a bunch of crazy people...... Lunatic! ”
Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
They were amazed by the extraordinary courage of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and they were also frightened by the terrifying combat power of the Yan army's iron cavalry!
Charge with no fear of death!
Smash the enemy formation with cavalry!
Such an iron army is enough to make all the generals feel terrified!
Coupled with a wise commander with proper command, Zhu Di, the king of Yan who inherited the mantle of General Xu Da, Gu Cheng was indeed unjustly defeated in this battle!
"What about General Gu Cheng?"
Geng Bingwen continued to ask.
However, this time, the general was silent.
On the way to flee, he heard with his own ears that General Gu Cheng had surrendered to Yan and surrendered to Zhu Di, the king of Yan!
Seeing his dodgy eyes, Geng Bingwen's face suddenly sank.
"Did Gu Cheng die in battle, or did he surrender?"
"General Ningzhong died in battle!"
The partial general sighed, "General Gu Cheng has surrendered!" ”
"Bastard!" Guo Ying's face changed greatly, and she couldn't help but scold angrily.
Gu Cheng is a general of the three armies, so he directly surrendered to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, which will be a fatal blow to the morale of the southern army!
Geng Bingwen's face was gloomy as water, and after pondering for a long time, he finally sighed.
"Order the three armies, return to Zhending!"
"In addition, Xu Kai was ordered to abandon Hejian City and quickly withdraw his troops!"
Guo Ying's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but whisper: "General, in this way, I'm only afraid of ......"
Geng Bingwen waved his hand, a little gloomy and lonely.
"The combat power of the Yan Army's iron cavalry is amazing, we have ignored this!"
"Gu Cheng's defeat this time is tantamount to a wake-up call for our army, if you want to defeat this Yan army head-on in the field, it is simply impossible!"
"Now we only have to hold on to the city, and don't give the Yan cavalry a chance to give full play to their advantages, the walls of Hejian City are low, and it is not suitable to hold on, only Zhendingfu City!"
The truth is naturally understood, but Guo Ying is more worried about another thing now.
Their 130,000 army, after the Yan army's several encroachments, has been broken by about half.
If you directly retreat to Zhending City now to hold on, then I am afraid that after the news is transmitted back to the Jinling Imperial Capital, His Majesty the Emperor will be dissatisfied with this, and the first person to bear the brunt at that time will be Geng Bingwen, the commander of the three armies!
"General, if we don't fight again, we will always have decent results!"
"There is no need for this, the lives of the soldiers are also their lives, and they can't be wasted in vain!"
Geng Bingwen let out a long sigh, his eyes full of loneliness.
"All the blame, I, Geng Bingwen, bear it with all my might!"
