To be honest, Jin Zongbiao did not think that Jin Xiangliang's commanding ability was superior to his own. This cousin may have really been a rookie in the army and once made a big splash, but now, having not been on the battlefield for twenty years, he is obviously a bit behind the times.
However, Jin Zongbiao had to admit that his luck was really good. First, Xin Ke, the most unstoppable Hetao general in the world, had his myth broken in his hands, and was eventually hunted for thousands of miles. Then Feng
Jing, he was so unlucky that even one of his commander-level generals died in battle. This was the first senior commander-level general to die in the battle since Hetao went south in 621. Just this honor, Jin Xiangliang immediately became the leader of the entire outside the Great Wall.
The most famous general.
If he wins this battle, Jin Xiangliang's popularity will definitely grow. I am afraid that no one in the three Northeastern countries except Kaxinbas can defeat him in terms of military merit. If he loses, of course, Jin Zongbiao does not want to lose. After all, once defeated,
The Northeastern Three Kingdoms will lose most of their achievements in breaking through the Great Wall defense line in 618. They have no choice but to retreat to the Great Wall defense line.
At this time, the Northeastern Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms only had 100,000 organized troops. Including the remnant soldiers who kept escaping, the number was at least 170,000 or 80,000. However, the Hetao cavalry only had 30,000, but the Northeastern Allied Forces they killed were weak. The reason is very simple.
Simple, the morale of Hetao is high now, and there is a famous commander who is commanding a bloody battle. On the other hand, the coalition forces will have Ling Buyi's morale low, and they have to guard against the remaining defeated generals from attacking their own defense lines. Under such circumstances, the advantages and disadvantages suddenly emerge.
.
This is the situation that Huan Fuzhuan, Jin Xiangliang and others are facing now. With the arrival of a large number of defeated troops, the coalition's formation is facing a greater impact. At this time, Jin Xiangliang can't care about so much anymore. His mind
At this time, Li no longer had the concept of Hexi Mandan and Bai Jing, and only knew to win this victory at all costs. More than 60,000 infantry were mobilized, and several lines were formed on the attack front of the Hetao cavalry.
While Huan Fuzhuan and Hekimur led nearly 40,000 hastily assembled coalition cavalry, they frantically attacked the flanks of the Blood Killing Cavalry.
The person responsible for the flank defense was Han Qi, the leader of the Blood Killing Legion. This general, who was born in the Western Legion and had made a name for himself in the battle to regain the Hexi Second Road in Hetao, gave full play to his talents at this time. Ten thousand cavalry were under his command.
Taking the lead, he retreated instead of advancing, unexpectedly and suddenly broke into the formation of the coalition cavalry, catching Huan Fuzhuan and others by surprise. However, Huan Fuzhuan, Hekimur Lengfangbu and others were all long-awaited.
None of the veterans on the battlefield were efficient. After the initial discomfort, they finally stabilized their position and relied on their superior strength to surround Han Qi's army. The battle suddenly became tense.
Jin Xiangliang's side is much more dangerous. He still has 60,000 infantry under his command, and the cavalry led by Xue Sha himself is 20,000. If the 20,000 cavalry falls into the hands of a mediocre general, the only outcome will be to be killed by Jin Xiangliang's six
Thousands of soldiers were making dumplings. However, the leader was Xue Sha, one of the five great generals in the Hetao. He was a famous general who had fought outside the Great Wall, fought a decisive battle at Hukou, and then fought hundreds of battles in the south. He was leading the soldiers of the Hetao.
The soldiers of Hetao were invincible in all the battles across the world, from east to west.
Blood Kill and Zhenshan, like a sharp knife, easily split open the defensive line of the Haixi infantry. Under Wu Shuangzhi's charge, the first line of defense was like a wave of sand sculptures, and the water
When they arrived at Sha Rong, the defeated army retreated hurriedly and inadvertently attacked the Haixi soldiers on the second line of defense. Seeing this, Ananda Wangmei seized the opportunity and quickly mobilized his troops to attack fiercely, and immediately broke through Jinqi.
Mai personally guarded the second line of defense. Jin Qimai had no intention of coexisting with the line of defense. As soon as he saw something was wrong, he took off his helmet and cloak, blended in with the crowd, and slipped to the back.
Jin Xiangliang began to sweat on the tip of his nose. He had more than 60,000 infantrymen, 10,000 people for each line of defense, and more than 20,000 people as the final reserve. However, the first two lines of defense were overwhelmed by the Hetao cavalry so easily.
, with the opponent's morale high, I'm afraid the third line of defense won't be able to stop them for long.
"Pass this general's order, the entire army is on the move! Those who retreat without permission will be punished by the three tribes!" Jin Xiangliang suddenly shouted loudly, and chopped off a soldier who turned around and fled with his knife. Bloody red blood suddenly sprayed on him, and the hearts of the soldiers around him were aroused.
Suddenly everything felt cold.
Finally, the situation was under control. Jin Xiangliang had a ferocious look on his face. He held up the bloody sword and coldly glanced at the people around him. He shouted again: "Supervisor team, come on! Anyone who retreats without permission, regardless of their rank, will be killed! And report it."
Your Majesty, punish these three tribes!"
Everyone froze again, looking at Jin Xiangliang whose eyes were spitting fire, and finally tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.
Jin Zongbiao is not resting now. He led the only more than 3,000 soldiers in his hands to stop all the coalition soldiers who had fled from the front and dragged them to the back. Regardless of the system or the opinions of everyone, he temporarily formed them
Get up. The centurion is gone. It's okay. We can temporarily grab a general from the remnant army who looks like a hundred households to lead the way. The centurion is gone, so we can still temporarily grab someone to show off. It doesn't matter whether their team is full or not.
, as soon as he felt that the person in front of him was enough, he immediately kicked Jin Xiangliang. He believed that Jin Xiangliang's war team would teach them how to fight.
The generals who were temporarily captured were all ashen-faced, but no one dared to resist before Jin Zongbiao's sharp butcher knife. The other defeated troops in the crowd quietly tore off their military ranks on their shoulders.
epaulettes, and threw away his helmet to avoid being treated as a death squad by Jin Zongbiao.
Facts have proved that as long as you are willing to fight, nothing is impossible. Under the sharp swords of the supervising team, the coalition soldiers in front also burst out with vigorous fighting spirit. Tens of thousands of infantrymen wanted to retreat and had to turn around and fight with the Hetao cavalry for their lives.
.
Seeing this situation, Jin Xiangliang's expression finally relaxed a little. He knew that he should have taken precautions this time.
There was an endless stream of fleeing coalition soldiers, and Jin Zongbiao's strength continued to increase. After all, the Hetao cavalry was not an iron man. Under the human sea tactics of the three Northeastern countries, their vigor finally began to decline. An hour later, the Snow Lion Corps
Pioneer Buhe also arrived at the battlefield, but at this time the three Northeastern countries had stabilized their defense lines. In order to rescue Han Qi who was surrounded by Huan Fuzhuan and others, Xuesha had to slow down his attack on Jin Xiangliang's defense line. On the battlefield
The situation finally began to change in favor of the defense line of the three Northeastern countries.
Blood Kill is not a foolhardy and reckless general. Seeing this situation, he also understands that it is impossible for him to win, even if all the 40,000 cavalry of the Snow Lion Army behind him arrive. Maybe he can hit the Northeast hard.
The coalition forces can kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. He is not the kind of profit-minded person who uses the lives of his brothers to gain credit. After weighing that the situation was not right, he raised his huge butcher knife high and followed the order behind him.
The soldiers immediately waved their flags, and tens of thousands of cavalry began to retreat slowly.
To fight, you must fight to the front, and to retreat, you must break up the rear. The approximately 30,000 cavalrymen of the four armies were cut off in a bloody battle, and easily broke through the coalition's defense line, while shooting Bai Jing who was fleeing this way.
The remaining Mandan army retreated slowly.
As soon as Haixi Jintunke saw the Hetao cavalry retreating, he was so eager to attack that he led the remaining 6,000 cavalrymen in his headquarters to pursue them. The Hetao cavalry fled quickly. After running for more than ten miles, the cavalry on both sides suddenly reversed direction.
After outflanking, the cavalry in the middle raised their horses and stopped. More than 30,000 cavalry easily overwhelmed Jin Tunke's 6,000 cavalry.
At this time, Jin Tunke's troops were at least fifteen miles away from Huan Fu Chuan, Heji Muler and others. When Huan Fu Chuan and others felt that something was wrong and followed them, only Jin Tun Ke's more than 6,000 cavalry were left.
There were more than five hundred horsemen. Jin Tunke held a mace with only half of it left in his hands and stood on the horse with a dull expression. All the cavalry around him were injured, either with missing arms or broken legs.
, it is obvious that if everyone arrives a step too late, I am afraid that the entire Jin Tunke tribe will really be wiped out.
Jin Xiangliang, Jin Zongbiao's uncle and nephew, who were half a step behind Huan Fuchuan and others, arrived at the scene. When they saw this situation, both of them were furious. Jin Zongbiao stared at Jin Tunke fiercely, without concealing the murderous intent in his eyes, and everyone
They all have the same idea, so many people have died in the battle, why are you, a loser, not dead yet?
In a head-on battle with the Hetao cavalry for more than two hours, the 40,000 cavalrymen lost only a little more than 10,000, but a single charge from this waste cost the lives of 6,000 cavalrymen. Jin Zongbiao couldn't help but think of the time when the Hetao army just went south.
, Yelu Minghui also lost more than 10,000 cavalry in this way. The same method, the same situation, but his side was still fooled in the same way, Jin Zongbiao was also quite speechless.
But in any case, the Hetao was not completely defeated this time. Although the Northeastern Allied Forces retreated from Taihang Road to Donghai Road, they finally stood firm. Three days later, the remnants of the army arrived in Zhenzhou Fucheng one after another. Huan Fuchuan
A rough calculation showed that since there were less than 150,000 soldiers. Even including the remnant troops who fled elsewhere, half of the more than 300,000 soldiers at that time were either dead or captured. But of the only more than 100,000 soldiers,
They were all frightened by the Hetao forces, and their organization was extremely chaotic. In a short period of time, they had lost the ability to attack.
While waiting for the skirmishers, Huan Fuzhuan and others were lucky enough to see the arrival of Yelu Wanxi. This comrade they thought had died on the battlefield was actually able to appear in front of them, which really made them happy.
.
Yeluwanxi was a great blessing among misfortunes. He was an infantry general, and he was not on duty during the night attack on Hetao. He was huddled in the military camp and struggling to create the next generation of Mandan successors. As a result, the war broke out, and General Yeluwanxi
He mercilessly kicked aside the two women with whom he had been affectionate just now, and fled in embarrassment in small clothes. He was lucky, and he managed to escape smoothly with his own soldiers in the chaos, and then
Good luck continued along the way. Five waves of cavalry in Hetao attacked in turn, but none of them killed him, one of Mandan's leading generals. However, the general was frightened that night and contracted an incurable disease. No matter what he used later,
There was no reaction at all, which became Yelu Wanxi's biggest pain in her life.
However, even so, the Three Northeastern Kingdoms still have strong strength in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. In Tongzhou City, Yelu Chixian's 70,000 soldiers are still besieged; in the Yinzhou Fucheng on Beiyuan Road, and in the vicinity of Yukelonsi
When the 40,000 remnant troops were defeated, Huan Fuzhuan and others tried their best to escape and had no time to escape into Yinzhou City. And Yuckrons was frightened by Xinke last time and did not dare to go out of the city to stop the attack. It is precisely because of this
, he was lucky enough to survive. However, he has now retreated to Zhizhou. If possible, he actually wanted to retreat to Juyongguan, but Trikbus and Yao Jinxi would never let him in, and His Majesty the King would never let him in.
Unable to defeat him, he had to retreat to Zhizhou, which was slightly closer to the Great Wall defense line.
In addition, Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan each have 50,000 soldiers who pay homage to Haixi. In addition to the nearly 200,000 coalition troops near Zhenzhou and Yelu Chengfeng who only has a few thousand soldiers left behind the Taihang Mountains, the Three Northeastern Kingdoms are in Youyun.
Sixteen states still have more than 300,000 troops.
Although Hetao won a great victory in this battle, it still cost more than 30,000 soldiers. But compared with the losses of the three Northeastern countries, this was indeed a rare victory.
In fact, it is not that Hetao does not want to take the opportunity to clear out the Northeastern Allied Forces in Zhenzhou, but it is really powerless for the time being. The base camp of the Hetao Eastern Expedition Army is in Tongzhou, Taihang Road, and all the food and logistics are concentrated here. If it is just a short-term cavalry
A surprise attack can still be solved on the spot by providing food to the enemy, but if hundreds of thousands of troops go out together, it will be quite troublesome.
The Northeastern Three Kingdoms Allied Forces have established a foothold in Zhenzhou. With nearly 200,000 troops, plus famous generals such as Huan Fuzhuan and Hekimur Lengfangbu, it is impossible for Hetao to conquer Zhenzhou unless it has considerable troops. Moreover,
, the siege battle must wait until Dugu's infantry arrives. It's a long way, and there is a fear of problems along the way.
Finally, there were too many coalition soldiers scattered on the road. In fact, there were not many coalition soldiers who died on the spot that night. The total number was less than 50,000. However, there were at least 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers along the way from Xuanzhou to Zhenzhou.
The remnants of the soldiers are still fleeing. It's like the bloody cavalry is charging at the front, and the Tiger and Falcon Legion behind them have nothing to do. They are doing their best to clear out the coalition skirmishers along the way. Of course,
The murderous Hetao cavalry wiped out all the villages along the way, so that the official road from Xuanzhou to Zhenzhou completely became a purgatory on earth.
It took two to three days for the Hetao army to finally clear away the remaining troops along the way. Then they returned to Taihang and prepared to pull out the nail in Tongzhou City.
In fact, Tongzhou at this time is no longer a nail. Yelu Chixian and the more than 70,000 Mandan troops in the city were indeed tigers in the cage at the beginning. If they were allowed to run out, they would stab them.
Out of the basket. But now, Yelu Chixian can't even be counted as a phoenix. The food in the city has basically been consumed, and everything that can be eaten has been eaten. It's just that the Mandan soldiers were quite weak at this time.
They have the guts to stick to their posts even if they are dizzy with hunger. Because they understand that the Hetao will not take prisoners. Even if they lay down their weapons and surrender, the final outcome will be death. Since it is death no matter what,
, then why do they have to die in such humiliation? Besides, they still have hope. They believe that the prime minister will not forget them, the kingdom will not give up on them, and reinforcements will definitely come.
