The first place where signs of defeat appeared was on the south bank of Xian River, the frontal battlefield of the Wu army!
The Wei army advanced across the board, but the Wu army failed to block the attack in one place, causing a large number of Wei troops to attack the front line! The Wu army on the left and right had to retreat in batches in order to avoid being flanked by two directions at the same time. However, they retreated before the battle.
, causing the team to collapse, and chaos immediately began to spread, spreading to the withdrawn reserve team.
Zhuge Ke watched the situation in the distance, and his heart thumped, knowing that his one hundred thousand army (so-called) was finished!
In fact, he had expected such a result nearly half an hour ago, maybe he was just not willing to accept it.
The defeat was brewing for half an hour, but Zhuge Ke had nothing to do!
The feeling is like being on a huge building boat. There is a reef in front of you and you are about to hit it. But with the small rudder in your hand, you can't control the direction of the building boat at all. The rocks paddling on the water are
The oars seemed weak and weak among the heavy and huge ships.
"Dong dong..." Amidst the rapid beating of drums, the Wei army on the south bank of Xian River formed multiple columns and began to advance rapidly to the east.
The long line of infantry advanced at a fast marching speed. The sound of "clinking" of armor was mixed with the sound of footsteps, and bursts of shouts were heard from time to time.
The Wei army quickly occupied the Wu army's position, passed through a rice field, and crossed the north bank of the lake.
At this time, a brisk short blow melody came, and a cavalry column rushed past the infantry column in a jogging formation. The sound of horse hooves "rumbling..." made the drum sound seem to become smaller.
In front was a large chaotic mass of Wu soldiers' infantry. Some were still retreating in column, while others were in disarray and scrambled to flee.
The rushing crowd was very crazy, as if there was a fire in the west, or a disaster of magma spewing, countless wild beasts were running wildly, escaping and migrating in one direction!
"Throw your weapons, raise your hands, kill or kill!" the Wei cavalry suddenly shouted.
But the Wu army crowd just ran eastward. At this time, there was a burst of shouts, "Charge! Charge..." The sound of horse hooves was suddenly as loud as thunder, and a large group of cavalry swarmed from behind.
The heavy cavalry with weighted spears did not attack the defeated troops, but rushed forward directly from the scattered crowd, but the rushing iron hooves were very scary. The light cavalry following them were different. Some
The men were picking up their bows and setting up arrows, and were shooting while running. Amidst the crackling sound of the strings, the arrows were flying toward the Wu soldiers' backs.
Some cavalrymen held the Huanshou sword and pointed it sideways at the enemy. When the horses rushed past, there was a "clang" sound. The Huanshou sword hit the enemy soldiers' backs at the speed of the horses! Wu soldiers kept falling on them.
land.
Many Wu soldiers dragged their heavy armors and finally could no longer run. Some people kept throwing away their weapons and raising their hands subconsciously. The shouts of the Wei cavalry seemed to have a hint, making it easy for the defeated soldiers to understand.
What to do, the difficulty of surrender suddenly became much less difficult.
The cavalry soldiers who rushed past warned loudly: "Stand still and wait for the infantry behind."
The defeat on the front of the battle line has already brought the left wing of the Wu Army's formation to collapse! Although there were a few effective forces on the flanks earlier, they could have blocked the attack of Wei Army Yang Wei's troops. However, when the Wu Army soldiers watched, the Xianxi front line was in chaos, and their morale was at a loss.
You know, the camps collapsed very quickly.
The vast land is in chaos.
At this time, the world between heaven and earth seems to be even noisier than during the previous battle. The shouts and noises before were probably one after another. People roared during the battle, while the men and horses standing in formation were much quieter. But now the entire sky
, seems to be enveloped in a "buzzing..." huge noise, pervasive from all directions.
But even on such a chaotic battlefield, there are still traces to follow!
Those broken troops who fled in panic on all sides were almost useless. Those who could really affect the situation were those Wu soldiers and horses whose organization was still there and had not completely collapsed. Even if they lost the control of the Chinese army, they could still fight on their own.
Delay the pursuit of the Wei army! If resistance can be deployed at key nodes, it can even buy a large number of Wu troops time to retreat.
A feather flag flutters and moves, Qin
Liang led a large group of troops and rushed to the Wu army's position.
At this time, the two generals discovered Qin Liang's handsome flag and came to pay their respects one after another.
Qin Liang greeted the generals and raised his head to look at the chaotic scene in the west. In the thick smoke, there were all people and horses hurrying on their way.
He rolled up the map in his hand, handed it to Wang Kang next to him, and then said to Zhang Meng, the right colonel of the Zhongjian Camp: "Yang Fude's cavalry is chasing the defeated troops. Your cavalry, don't worry about the defeated troops here. Call up the cavalry immediately and rush out.
Go to the north bank of the lake ahead, and if you encounter resistance, defeat it!"
Zhang Meng bowed and said, "I obey the general's orders!"
There are two polder lakes within a radius of more than ten miles. There is also a body of water to the east, although it is not that big, but it is located further north; thus, a relatively narrow corridor is formed between Xianxi River and the lake. And that place
There seems to be a water channel connecting the lake and Xianxi.
Once the knowledgeable generals of the Wu army lead their troops to control the area, the Wu soldiers can retreat towards Xianxi City!
Of course, the Wei army could also go around from the south, but that would waste time. At this time, the entire enemy army retreated and ran very fast.
At this time, Qin Liang pointed to the north and said: "The infantry is approaching the river to pursue. The bandit army and navy will definitely go to the river bank to meet the defeated troops."
Zhang Meng said: "Here!"
The general who just came over also had Hu Zun, the governor of Qingxu. Qin Liang did not pick anyone, but directly ordered: "As soon as Zhang Meng's troops clear the route, you will lead the troops and immediately march into Xianxi City. It is best to take advantage of the situation to seize the city.
, but if it is difficult to seize the city for a while, control the periphery of the city and not allow the enemy to rely on the city to gather resistance!"
Hu Zun cupped his hands and said, "Take the general's order!"
Qin Liang made some temporary arrangements and then reviewed the situation in the surrounding areas. Seeing that many people seemed to be gathering in the north, he kicked his horse and headed towards the river bank, wanting to go over and see what was going on.
The generals holding handsome flags and the personal guards shook their reins one after another, and the team surrounded Qin Liang and turned around.
After a while, Qin Liang and others passed by a rice field. In the bright paddy field, a group of soldiers were trudging through the mud. They should be panicking, but every time they stepped down, they would sink into the mud and they could not walk fast at all.
"Ah!" A scream suddenly came, and a figure was hit by an arrow and fell down in the paddy field. The muddy water suddenly splashed everywhere.
Qin Liang turned his head and glanced at Wang Kang. Wang Kang kicked his horse forward and shouted to the Wei soldiers on the bank: "Don't kill them. The people in the fields can't escape. Catch them alive."
The soldiers responded one after another.
The soldiers of the Chinese army crossed the paddy field and finally saw clearly the situation on the river bank. It turned out that a group of Wu troops were on the river bank, with their backs on the Xianxi River, forming a semicircular formation with sidecars, resisting the siege of the Wei army's infantry and cavalry!
Qin Liang observed the military flags in the car formation, and one of the flags had the word "Zhu" on it. He didn't know which Wu army general it was, but the Zhu surname of Soochow should be from a rich family. In such a huge defeat, this Wu army,
He can also organize a complete military formation, so he is obviously a general, and he needs to rely on his servants!
Sure enough, there was a fighting ship rowing on the river from the south. It allowed the navy to send out warships to meet it, which also corroborated Qin Liang's guess.
However, the bandits' ranks are still in good order. Even if the generals of the Wei army want to capture the enemy generals and are anxious to make meritorious deeds, it may not be easy to break through the bandits' chariot array!
"Bang bang..." Two huge vibrations were heard, and heavy arrows whizzed past the heads of the crowd of Wei soldiers surrounding the car formation.
The surrounding Wei troops retreated on foot and on horseback, standing in the distance with bows and arrows! Seeing this, Qin Liang guessed that the Wei generals over there wanted to wait for the artillery and catapults to be brought up.
I saw the warships on the river approaching slowly. It was obvious that the soldiers could not catch the general named Zhu.
Qin Liang also felt that it did not matter. The Wu army collapsed in such a large formation, and was captured and killed at least dozens of generals at all levels, not more than General Zhu. The Wei army had already won a great victory, and the battle was coming to an end. Those on the river bank were
The officers and soldiers of the Wei army have already survived a difficult decisive battle. If they survive for a while, they will be able to survive this battle!
The real enemy of the Wei State is indeed the general in front of him, the big landlord of the Wu State's gentry and separatist party. But perhaps the victory eased Qin Liang's mood.
, for a moment he didn’t feel particularly resentful of General Wu Jun. After all, these gentry generals, at least, did not hate the villagers working in their own manor, and said things such as those whose character is hard to change. Jia Chong’s voice said
"This is a general, I guess it's Zhu Yi." Qin Liang turned around and said, "But it's too late to come, let's go."
A large group of horse soldiers followed Qin Liang and walked a mile or two eastward. Most of the Wei army's infantry columns were already in the rear, and some Wei army infantry could also be seen on the right, which were the infantry under Yang Wei's command in the Zhongba camp; they
In fact, the farthest way is to go around from the south.
On the slightly undulating land, there were cavalry of the Wei army on all sides, as well as broken troops all over the mountains and plains.
At this time, Qin Liang finally saw the lake in the distance, which was the water area on the map. On the land on the north side of the lake, among the wastelands, there were all the cavalry of the Wei army!
After the Wu soldiers were defeated, they did not take control of this place, or arranged a blocking force, but they were quickly defeated.
Qin Liang's serious face couldn't help but reveal a forced smile at this moment. Zhuge Ke's troops were really going to suffer heavy losses now! Zhuge Ke had tens of thousands of troops, and the huge Wu State could organize
How many times have you raised an army of this size?
However, compared with Wei's civil war, which often resulted in the surrender of organized areas, the pursuit and clearance after this battle is expected to take longer, and may even last several days.
Qin Liang looked back and saw that the sun in the southwest was still very high, and it would still be a long time before dark today.
