Chapter 257 Arrogant Part 2
"Stab!" After the Silver Spear Army charged in, they stabbed left and right with their spears, their movements precise, swift and powerful.
The first and second buildings are all veterans. Even if they were damaged in the previous battle, they will recruit skilled soldiers from other buildings to make up for it. They will not directly recruit new people, so the overall combat strength is very strong.
If the five hundred soldiers were just a sharp knife that caused terrible wounds and caused people to bleed profusely.
After more than a thousand silver spear troops poured into the gap, there was a bloody collapse.
Wherever they went, they stabbed countless enemy soldiers to death. Let alone wounds, they just disemboweled them, okay?
The soldiers who were fighting in the front had suffered a lot of casualties, and their armors were often broken. When they heard the noise of the enemy soldiers on the left and right, their morale increased greatly, so they advanced bravely and pushed the enemies in front of them to retreat.
"Stab!" The jungle of spears of the Silver Spear Army continued to carry out ruthless killings.
The chaotic enemy troops fell in pieces, the noise became louder and louder, the formation was almost compressed to the extreme, and some people at the end had begun to flee.
More than 4,000 Jin troops from the third formation rushed forward, becoming the straw that broke the camel's back.
The front army formation composed of 5,000 men from Wang Sang's tribe was completely dispersed.
These soldiers, who were known as the bravest and most elite before the war, completely lost their fighting spirit and were driven back by the Jin army.
Wang Sang stood in the middle of the army and felt his hands and feet were cold.
The nightmare came again.
At the foot of Luoyang City, he was defeated once by the Jin army.
On the outskirts of Gong County, he was chased north by Shao Xun.
This time, the 20,000-strong army under Dayang City was unable to resist the enemy and was on the verge of collapse.
Three times, three times! Defeated three times in two years!
Shao Thief, why the hell do you keep staring at us?
My brother asked me to secure my retreat and protect my 20,000 troops, but in the end I was destroyed in one battle. What should I do?
Wang Sang caught a glimpse of soldiers approaching from the corner of his eye.
He shook his head and shouted: "Kill me!"
After shouting, I shed two lines of tears.
The soldiers were also in tears, but they still did their duty. They held the "shaky" Wang Sang and persuaded: "General, the front army has collapsed. There are noises on the left and right wings. There is also some commotion in the rear. This battle cannot be fought."
We’re going down, so let’s go quickly.”
"Kill me!" Wang Sang shouted again and fainted.
The soldiers understood, immediately lifted him off the high platform, and then brought in the horses.
Wang Sang opened his eyes drowsily and cried: "They are all old brothers who have been with me for many years. How can I bear to abandon them?"
The soldier handed over the riding whip, and Wang Sang subconsciously followed it.
"I won't leave!" Wang Sang suddenly shouted.
The soldier handed over the reins again, and Wang Sang subconsciously took it.
"Please let me go, I will fight with Shao Thief!" Wang Sang cried bitterly.
The soldiers helped Wang Sang onto the horse's back. Wang Sang subconsciously grabbed the horse's belly and jumped out.
The soldiers also mounted their horses and left in a hurry.
The first to see Wang Sang escaping was the rear formation. They immediately lost their fighting spirit and dispersed into the mountains to the north.
Then on the left and right wings, some people fled back to Dayang City, while others threw away their clothes, armor and equipment and prepared to flee home.
Affected, the Chinese army also yelled and ran back in a noisy manner.
The 20,000-strong army collapsed.
The Jin army took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill them, shouting for a fierce battle.
From this moment on, the battle will enter the stage of maximum gains - most of the formation cuts in the ancient wars were also produced at this moment.
Shao Xun watched for a while, then Shi Shiran got off the command platform.
His command is no longer needed later. The generals have undergone rigorous training and fought so many battles, and they know exactly what to do.
Tang Jian led his own soldiers and commanded the reserve team to protect the surroundings closely.
The current battlefield is very chaotic and no longer clearly defined. If a small group of enemy troops surprise the commander and succeed in the ridiculous thing, no one can bear the responsibility.
In the afternoon, Shao Xun, surrounded by soldiers, entered Dayang County.
There didn't seem to be many people in the city, just a few hundred households.
Too lazy to look further, he went directly into the county government office and began to issue orders.
"Hurry up and clean the battlefield and inventory supplies. This must be completed before nightfall."
"Don't chase the defeated troops who have fled into Zhongtiao Mountain, just let them go."
"The scouts will go out and monitor the area north of Zhongtiao Mountain, making sure there are no mistakes."
"The wounded soldiers will be transported back to Shaanxi County first and placed properly."
"The Auxiliary Arms Craftsman Battalion quickly repairs clothes, armor, and equipment. If it's too late, replace them with the captured ones first."
"The whole army will rest for a day, sort out military supplies and equipment before nightfall tomorrow, and prepare for evacuation."
"That's all for now, I'll do it as soon as possible."
"As ordered." All the generals responded in unison, with respectful expressions on their faces.
The coach's prestige is established in these battles.
The more wins there are, the less anyone dares to challenge the coach's authority.
The Shaw Military and Political Group now has only one core, and the status of this core is constantly strengthening. One day, the status of this core will be unbreakable.

Yu An and Zhang Gu, two "stooges", were sitting on the mountain plateau, talking to each other and discussing countermeasures.
"If the thieves come, just shoot them with crossbows and knock them over." Zhang Gu raised his head and looked down the plain and said.
Yu An smiled faintly and said nothing.
Duan Xiong, the deputy governor of Youzhou Tuqi Governor, was an honest man. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "You can't fight like this."
"Then how to fight?" Zhang Gu frowned and asked a little rudely.
"Our army has more than 3,000 infantry and cavalry. The number of troops is not large, and there are even fewer that can fight." Duan Xiong analyzed: "Zhang Zhuang led the 500 Yamen army to lie in the west plain, and Yu Zhuang led the 500 Yamen army.
The gate army can just lie down on the east plain. The auxiliary troops and young men do not need to follow them to the plateau. Their combat power is too poor. Most of them cannot shoot arrows or use crossbows. In addition, there are no extra crossbows for them——"
Zhang Gu was speechless and wanted to say something, but he felt that his analysis was correct.
Yu An nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Duan Xiong glanced at Zhang Gu and said: "We can only defeat more than a thousand cavalry. When the bandit army arrives, it is impossible to leave them behind."
"Then how to fight?" Zhang Gu asked subconsciously.
"This is my strategy, let's just talk about it, you two can just listen and decide whether it works or not." Duan Xiong cleared his throat and said, "When the thieves come, they will arrange it like this..."
Just when Zhang, Yu, and Duan were discussing how to ambush, the battle was raging below Hongnong City.
More and more men were forcibly recruited, and the number already exceeded 15,000.
They were driven by Wang Mi's sergeants, armed with crude weapons, and rushed toward the county town in waves.
The scene was tragic.
They used their thin bodies to fill up the trenches, demolish the walls of sheep and horses, consume the arrows of the defenders, and then set up long ladders to attack the city - yes, they even used trench-filling trucks and ladder trucks.
There are no siege equipment, only ladders, and the siege relies entirely on flesh and blood.
Yuan Yan stood at the top of the city, looking anxiously to the east.
After several days of bloody fighting, the defenders had fewer than two thousand soldiers, and many were injured.
A group of young men were urgently recruited in the city, but they were only 1,780 people, and a lot of them were consumed.
If he fights for another ten days and a half, he will be completely wiped out. What will be the outcome then?
Do you regret it? Maybe a little.
But there was no point regretting it now. Liu Cong could not let him go. After the night attack was defeated, he mobilized troops to besiege him, which in itself explained a lot of things.
His only hope now is the troops led by Governor Shao Xun.
If he could arrive in time, he might be able to force the enemy back - but he could only force it back. The Huns had so many cavalry that they could not be combined inside and outside. If he wanted to leave, he could go directly from the Xujin Ferry next to Hongnong and the two temporarily built
Just use a pontoon bridge to retreat.
But even if we can only do this step, it is not easy.
Will he come?
Outside Hongnong City, Liu Cong was also very agitated.
They invested eight times more troops to attack the city and fought for several days, but they couldn't take it.
He knew that Yuan Yan was extremely treacherous and must have intimidated the entire city's soldiers and civilians, saying that after the Xiongnu broke the city, they would slaughter the city to strengthen their determination to defend the city. He did have this idea, but he didn't dare.
Wang Mi seems to be enjoying it a bit.
From being reluctant at the beginning, to now actively supervising the siege and working very hard.
He knew that Wang Mi was just like Shi Le, driving the strong men who were forcibly recruited to die, and then selecting the strong ones from those who were lucky enough to survive to join his own army and increase his strength.
Therefore, he didn't feel bad at all, after all, those who died were not his own.
In the past few days, he even built a pontoon bridge to transport goods and grain to Hebei, making a lot of money.
Every time he thought about this, Liu Cong felt as if he had eaten a fly and had a bad feeling in his stomach.
damn it!
Today is August 30th. When can we capture it?
But at this time, several riders were seen quickly passing through the pontoon bridge from Hebei and arriving outside Hongnong City.
They entered Wang Mi's camp immediately.
Liu Cong didn't feel anything was wrong. In the past few days, Wang Mi's people had been going back and forth on both sides of the river, going in and out for nothing more than money, food, and soldiers.
He was too lazy to care. Anyway, in the end, Wang Mi would definitely give him the biggest piece of wealth, and the court would still need him to maintain peace.
Now he only cares about when to catch that thief Yuan Yan, Yixue feels hatred in his heart!
"Your Highness..." Liu Cong didn't look for Wang Mi, but Wang Mi took the initiative to look for him. His face was pale, with a hint of sadness, and a bit of despair.
"What? The general died during the attack?" Liu Cong asked in confusion.
"Your Highness, Thief Shao is here." Wang Mi sighed and said weakly.
"Oh? Where are you?" Liu Cong asked with some interest.
"Dayang..."
"What? Dayang? He crossed the river?" Liu Cong was surprised.
"Crossing the river." Wang Mi didn't know how to describe his mood. He just heard him say: "There are about 15,000 horsemen crossing the river on the pontoon bridge. First, I will defeat my brother Sang, and then take Dayang."
Liu Cong stood up suddenly.
He felt like he was having a bad time.
First they were defeated by Yuan Yan, then Shao Xun snuck behind them and quietly attacked Shaanxi County and Dayang.
What the hell kind of war is this?
"Dayang is not far from Anyi." Liu Cong walked around like an ant on a hot pot and said to himself: "If your Majesty knows, I..."
"Your Majesty must have known about it." Wang Mi looked at Liu Cong and said, "If my prediction is correct, there will be envoys coming in the next two days. Your Highness may want to think about how to deal with it."
Liu Cong was silent. This time, I lost a lot of points with His Majesty.
Wang Mi sighed again and sat down numbly.
His most important thing now is to retake Dayang. And this cannot be done without Liu Cong's help.
He has given up on defeating Shao Thief alone - at least for now.
Chapter completed!
