At Yuan Shao's place, under Li Cunxu's sneak attack, the Jin army in Luoyang City came to attack again. The Jin army pressed forward with all its strength. Yuan Shao's troops and horses fell into complete chaos. The soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers.
In the chaos, no one could contact anyone, and even if Yuan Shao wanted to organize a counterattack, he didn't have the ability.
Li Cunxu, Zhang Liao, Wang Zhongsi and other generals are all good at cavalry warfare and sneak attack warfare. Once they find signs of Yuan Shao's troops gathering somewhere, they will attack in that direction with all their strength!
Whenever General Yuan's army showed signs of gathering troops and horses, he would be visited by Jin's cavalry. Generals such as Li Cunxu, Zhang Liao, Wang Zhongsi, etc. did not leave the slightest chance to the coalition forces.
Yuan Sheng, Yuan Shen and other powerful generals of the Yuan army originally thought of hitting the snake seven inches away and capturing the thief before the king. They wanted to kill the Jin army leader and reverse the situation on the battlefield.
However, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were in such a state of confusion that it was all in vain. How could Yuan Sheng, Yuan Shen and other powerful generals of the Yuan army find the traces of the Jin army's general so easily!
After they finally discovered the real trace of Li Cunxu, Li Cunxu was not only guarded by General Yuwen Chengdu, but also followed by thousands of cavalry.
Even Yuan Sheng, Yuan Shen and other powerful generals of the Yuan Army did not dare to rush in when there were not many soldiers and horses behind them. Even if they could rush in, it would be impossible to get out.
Among the Jin troops who fought out of Luoyang City, although Li Xiang took action himself, he was accompanied by Kong Xuan, Bai Yan, Zhang Kui, Hou Yi, Fei Peng, Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui and many other fierce generals. Yuan Jun wanted to kill him.
It is even more difficult.
If things continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before Yuan Shao's army is defeated.
Fortunately, Han Xin sent Kuang Zhang to the rescue in time and saved Yuan Shao at the last moment. Moreover, Youzhou soldiers and horses helped Yuan Shao buy some time to reorganize his troops, so that Yuan Shao could organize a force that could resist.
However, even so, the two sides were only in a stalemate with each other, and the Jin army was only unable to capture the coalition forces in a short period of time.
When the heavy cavalry led by Wang Xiaojie arrived, it became the sharp blade that completely broke the stalemate, and in one fell swoop became the straw that broke the camel's back.
In fact, the impact of heavy cavalry is powerful, but their heavy equipment causes them to lack the ability to continue fighting, and they are not much better than Three Seconds Real Men.
Having defeated Di Qing and Guan Yu's troops, this heavy cavalry did not have much strength left. This charge can be said to be their last charge. If Yuan Shao and Kuang Zhang can withstand this wave
, then Wang Xiaojie had to lead his troops to withdraw from the battlefield.
But it is a pity that Yuan Shao has not been able to bear it after all.
Guan Ning's cavalry was severely damaged under Li Xiang's design shortly after the war started. The remaining part was also used by Yuan Shao to resist the troops and horses in front of Li Xiang. Among Yuan Shao's troops and horses, they were the elite infantrymen.
The Euphorbia soldiers were completely wiped out by Li Xiang's design in Luoyang.
If these two elite troops were to block it, it might be possible to stop this heavy cavalry that was almost exhausted. But if it were just ordinary soldiers and horses, it would still be a little bit worse after all.
War situations are always mutually reinforcing. Once there is a problem in any link, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction. Di Qing's forced retreat led to Guan Yu's subsequent retreat, and after this time, Guan Yu's retreat further led to
Yuan Shao's collapse here.
"Yuan Shao is a waste!" After receiving the information on the battlefield, Han Xin became a little unhappy.
Although Wang Xiaojie played his final role and cooperated with Li Cunxu to defeat Yuan Shao's troops, Wang Xiaojie's troops were forced to withdraw from the battlefield due to their physical exhaustion.
However, all three allies were defeated, and even two of them had escaped at this time. No matter how hard Han Xin fought, he would end up alone in the end.
"General Han, you must know that a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!" Fan Ju couldn't help but remind him after learning about the battle situation.
Among princes, the priority is still their own interests.
Based on their current battle situation, it is not certain that they will lose, but there is at least an 80% chance of defeat. Under this situation, it is very important to give priority to preserving strength, and it is also the first thing they should consider as counselors.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's troops had collapsed, the Jin army's next step would definitely be to rely on Yuan Shao's rout to disrupt Han Xin's army. At that time, they would also have to suffer the same misfortune. In the end, everyone suffered heavy losses together.
fate.
However, if they take the initiative to withdraw their troops at this time, they can allow Yuan Shao to exert his final value and use Yuan Shao to cut off their rear, so that their troops can withdraw as much as possible.
"Military advisor, there is still a chance. If Di Qing and Guan Yu's troops leave and return at this time, we may not have a chance!" Han Xin said, still somewhat unwilling to admit defeat.
The more capable a commander is, the more confident he is in himself, the less he can tolerate his own failure.
However, after Han Xin said these words, he sighed helplessly.
As he said, if Di Qing and Guan Yu's troops leave and come back at this time, there is indeed a possibility for them to make a comeback. However, this possibility itself is impossible.
First, Guo Ziyi said that his troops had not yet joined the battlefield.
Secondly, it is a matter of time. After Han Xin sends someone to persuade these two people to rejoin the battlefield, I am afraid that the situation of the battle will have been decided by then. Unless these two people were just making a false shot and the original preparation was to use a counterattack.
Without Han Xin sending someone to communicate, he directly joined the battlefield.
Thirdly, after this battle has developed to this point, the coalition forces have actually been defeated.
Even if Han Xin overturns the situation at this time, it will only end in a lose-lose situation. By that time, how can the coalition forces, which have suffered heavy losses, win the city of Luoyang?
And if there is no way to capture the city of Luoyang, then it is meaningless to just fight with the Jin army and lose both sides, and it will not damage the foundation of the Jin army.
The words just now were just spoken by Han Xin because he refused to admit defeat. But as one of the best military commanders, the moment he said it, he already knew what to choose next!
