The surging wave of cavalry came at their backs, completely shattering the Huns' last will to resist and pushing them into the abyss of despair.
Liu Ya had rich experience in battle formations. When he climbed up to a high place and took a look, he saw that all the battalions were in chaos.
There was no front army, center army, or rear army, no left wing, middle camp, or right wing. They were all scrambling to escape, and it was chaos.
Liu Ya signaled with her eyes, and the general nodded and ran down the high platform. In a moment, thousands of people were gathered, and they were extremely conspicuous among the crowds of people running around.
They brought along sleek war horses, which were also very conspicuous among the skinny horses.
"Take the men from the four guards of the East Palace with you, don't lose them." Liu Ya got on her horse and rushed out. Instead of escaping, she led the troops to intercept the fastest charging Jin army and Shangdang Jieqi.
The general was speechless.
There is no other choice but to execute it. If Liu Ya is gone, he will not survive, and even his family members who have been sent to Hedong will be implicated.
In the chaos, he took a group of soldiers and packed up a group of not very strong horses. As many as they needed, he handed them over to the officers of the four guards of the East Palace to distribute them, and then fled on horseback - even if they were infantry, they would know how to do it.
Those who ride horses are just not proficient in mounted combat.
Someone is competing with them for horses. They are shouting and even fighting with each other, which greatly hinders efficiency. When disaster is imminent, who the hell cares who you are!
Liu Runzhong personally led his three thousand cavalry. While other chiefs were rushing and killing each other, he stared in the direction of Liu Ya and kept approaching.
Liu Ya had just clashed with Yi Congjun twice, and each suffered heavy casualties. The formation was also scattered. Just as he started to gather up, he saw a wave of fine cavalry rushing towards him from the diagonal. There were more than a hundred cavalry in the front, and even some were wearing iron armor.
Waving his halberd and spear, he opened a gap in his formation with just one encounter.
"Capture and kill this thief!" Liu Runzhong picked up his bow and set up an arrow. Most of his body was stretched out from the horse's back, leaving only his feet to hold the horse's belly tightly, and he charged all the way.
"Whoosh!" From the high-speed bumpy horseback, an arrow flew out and hit Liu Ya in the middle like a miraculous feat.
Liu Yazheng was anxiously directing his soldiers to plug the leak, when he was unexpectedly hit by a "streaming arrow". Although he was wearing iron armor, he could not stabilize his body in a hurry and fell off his horse.
The two sons who were following closely behind Liu Runzhong rode forward and fought fiercely, blocking Liu Ya's troops who were rushing towards them like a desperate move.
Both sides put life and death aside, never retreating a step, knives piercing flesh, and screams of agony could not be heard without end.
In an instant, the head of Liu Runzhong's second son, Liu Sui, flew high and fell to the ground.
The third son, Liu Quan, rushed forward and hit Liu Ya's helmet with a bang, knocking him to the ground as he staggered to his feet. Then he turned around on his horse, not caring whether he was dead or alive, he reached out to fish it out, threw it on the horse's back, and raised his head.
And go.
Liu Sui's soldiers, with their eyes red, fought with Liu Ya's soldiers who were also fierce and fierce.
There was no structure on either side, only the most primitive and cruel fight remained.
Swords, guns, wooden poles, fists, teeth, whatever they are of no use, I don't want to live anymore - if I run back alive, my whole family will die. If I die in battle, my family will be spared.
The soldiers are usually very popular and drink spicy food. They take over the women who are tired of the boss's play. If anything happens, the boss will help you. The boss also takes care of your family. At the same time, it is easy to get promoted. This kind of treatment is to let you take advantage of it at the critical moment.
Life comes to pay for it.
Liu Runzhong was fighting in the rear and had no idea what was going on in the front.
After several consecutive arrows, all the thieves fell down. Just when they were feeling proud, they saw the second son Liu Sui's soldiers running back carrying a corpse and crying.
He opened his eyes wide and saw that even though he was mentally prepared to be in a battle formation, he still felt dizzy.
After rolling down from the horse with all hands and feet, he drew out his sword and struck Liu Sui's soldiers repeatedly.
The soldiers closed their eyes and suffered death, not daring or being ashamed to resist.
Liu Runzhong killed several people in a row before throwing down his sword and crying endlessly.
A large group of Jie people and Wuhuan cavalry bypassed from both sides, driving the Huns out step by step.
Liu Runzhong stood up, wiped his tears and said: "Get on the horse, I will kill Liu Ya with my own hands."
"Liu Ya has been captured by the former military governor. If you give it to Liang Gong, you may be of great use." An aide ran over, took his hand, and advised.
Liu Runzhong slapped him with his hand, pulled out a short spear from under the saddle, stabbed him to death with one spear, then got on his horse, saw the flag of the third son, and ran away.
****
Wang Queer stood on a temporarily assembled command vehicle, climbing high and looking into the distance.
The army attacking from the north city of Heyang was chasing the Huns northward, driving the Huns everywhere.
The fastest runner is the mule army.
This army of only 1,340 people is also a direct descendant of Master Shao: his disciples serve as officers.
At this moment, he was riding a mule and a horse, maneuvering quickly through the chaotic battlefield, killing the defeated troops blocking the road, and heading straight towards the Wild King.
The gate of the Wild King's city is open. It's not that the defenders don't know the soldiers, but that there are people running away and the city gate can't be closed at all.
The two deputy governors, Jiang Ke and Xu Yu, took the lead and dismounted outside the south gate, leaving fifty people to collect their horses. The rest began to form formations, and then rushed to the chaotic south gate of Yewang with neat steps.
"Kill the thief!" The long heavy sword slashed straight down. The enemy troops crowded inside and outside the city gate cried for their fathers and mothers, and the chaos became more and more chaotic.
In fact, they were not all enemy troops. There were clearly many old, weak, women and children mixed in among them.
But how can warriors who are so jealous of killing care about this? As long as someone is standing in front of them, they can kill them with one sword without even blinking an eye.
Wherever the heavy sword passed, blood flowed into a river and there was a sound of crying.
The soldiers and civilians of the Yewang who were rushing out ran back again under the threat of death. As a result, they collided head-on with the people who were driving out on carriages and horses, and fell into deep chaos.
The soldiers of the Mule Army did not pause and continued to move forward.
No one dared to resist them. Everyone was pushing and crying. Old people, children, women, and teenagers had their limbs and arms broken, and their heads were rolling around.
There were those who were awake and squatted directly against the city gate. No one went out of their way to trouble them, and they were ignored. But most people fell into panic, running around, hysterical, and still strong.
It was so shocking that he was cut down to the ground.
Just like this, we cleaned up bit by bit and pushed forward bit by bit. Soon our eyes lit up and more than a thousand soldiers broke into the city gate.
The streets and alleys are full of people carrying simple baggage, supporting the elderly and the young, and frantically fleeing out of the city.
The Mule Army ignored them, and after dividing three hundred men to control the city gate, the remaining thousand men continued to move forward, marching in neat steps, casually cutting down small groups of enemy troops they encountered, and crushing any possible resistance from the enemy.
Outside the city, broken troops rushed back one after another. When they reached the south gate, they met the soldiers of the Mule Army who were staying here, and they immediately started fighting. The enemy's morale was low, and they fought with anxiety. When they reached the critical point,
Just turn around and run.
Hundreds of government soldiers rushed over on horseback and dismounted outside the south gate.
As soon as they formed the formation, they encountered a group of enemy cavalry that had fled back. They immediately used the terrain of the city gate to frighten the enemy cavalry back by slashing and shooting.
Yi Cong's Qingqi came from behind, but the enemy's cavalry had no intention of fighting and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
After a stick of incense, another group of soldiers arrived and dismounted and entered the city.
The difference between having a horse and not having a horse is really huge.
With horses, even infantry can maneuver quickly and seize the target before the enemy.
Without horses, we can only advance step by step, lacking "battlefield explosive power".
The mule army and the government soldiers successively sent more than 2,000 soldiers into the city. They controlled the wild king at the critical moment and did not let the retreating enemy troops occupy the city. The fight between the trapped beasts was worth all the previous investment.
Now, a city gate of the capital of Hanoi is in their hands, and the Xiongnu army is scattered all over the ground, scrambling for their lives. This pursuit is coming to an end, and there is no suspense about the change of ownership of Hanoi.
Just wait for Mr. Liang to come.
****
Liang Gong did not arrive at Yewang until the day after the pursuit in Hanoi ended.
They defeated a Xiongnu army on the way and captured a thousand people. After a while, they sorted them out: refugees, Wubao Dingzhuang, Xiongnu herdsmen, Hanoi County soldiers and so on.
This is also the actual situation of the army under Liu Ya: there are people of all kinds, and they are disorganized.
On the evening of the fourth day of October, Shao Xun crossed the Qinshui River and planted the big banner in the east of the city.
It was not until the night of the fifth day of the lunar month that the main force completed crossing the river and set up camp outside Hanoi City.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, two troops left the camp one after another without stopping.
One force was commanded by Tao Bao and Liu Hedu, supplemented by some Hebei farmers and soldiers, counting 10,000 people on foot and cavalry, plus 3,000 civilian troops from Guo Mo's tribe, heading west to collect Qinshui and Zhiguan - it was reported that Liu Xian, King of Quyang of the Xiongnu, appeared in Zhe
Guan, seems to have a plan.
A force led by Tang Jian and Ju Quchong, with 5,000 infantry and cavalry, marched north from Ye Wang to Gaodu to reinforce Liu Zhao's tribe. Liu Yao may have reacted and was mobilizing troops to go south from Shangdang to capture Jincheng.
basin.
He Lun was responsible for contacting Liu Qia, and the two worked together to transport grain and grass.
In addition to these two groups, Man Heng and Liu Hezhu supervised thousands of cavalry troops, who were scattered outside, taking prisoners and mopping up the remaining enemies.
On the morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, Shao Xun came to Yewang City and looked at the dilapidated city.
The battle has ended to this day, and he is very satisfied.
After Wenshijin crossed the river, he attacked the city twice and fought two field battles, winning both times and the battle went very smoothly.
This is where the momentum comes.
Strength is a "tactic of war" that he likes to use very much.
He once said to Jin Dao and Badger Lang that "power" is the top art of war in the world. If you can use force to set the tripod, and if you use skill to stabilize the country, you must learn it.
The profoundness of learning and the wonderful use of it all come from one mind.
He rarely plays tricks with the old gentry and bureaucrats. They have been learning this since they were young. Have you really tried it?
He only knows the art of war.
Taking advantage of the severe external situation to force the nobles to tolerate him for the sake of the country is the art of war.
Marrying with the Yingchuan gentry, drawing one faction to fight the other, and becoming the leader of the Henan alliance. This is the art of war.
Creating an interest class and using them to balance the noble clans is also the art of war.
The art of war has been applied in place, and the general trend is mine. Although there are partial conflicts of interest, the overall situation is consistent. What is the purpose of working so hard? It makes people look down upon!
"Write a letter to Lieutenant Wang and ask him to report that Liang Guo will take over Hanoi and Shangdang two more counties."
"Tell Liu Runzhong that the governor of Shangdang belongs to him. Change Xiongnu's Heyang County to Heqing County, and make Liu Quan the general of Heqing Town."
"Let father and son come to see me."
After that, surrounded by his own troops, he entered the Wild King's City.
