"Where are the reinforcements coming from?" It was not only the Xianbei people who were shocked, Wang Yu was also shocked.
If it weren't for the small number of soldiers and horses and the slow approach, Hu Qi would have been frightened out of his wits when he saw the appearance of the soldiers and horses. He really doubted whether this was the result of Xian Yufu and others.
It's a ploy. Although there are many soldiers and horses in Youzhou, they are all in their own positions. There is no reason for them to suddenly appear here.
If there is no accident, the Yulin Army is coming all the way, and it happens to be coming from that direction. However, the Yulin Army and the Taishan Army are different. If they abandon their formation and march in a hurry, they will definitely lose their combat effectiveness.
With Wang Yu's understanding of the ban, this possibility can be completely ruled out.
If it wasn't Yu Jin or Hu Ren, who could it be? He was so confused that he failed to issue an order for a full-scale pursuit as soon as Hu Qi collapsed.
Fortunately, now that the battle has reached this point, there is no need for him to command.
The generals are not sticklers, and they all have clear judgments about the battle situation. When the Yellow Turban Warriors start a battle, they only know how to rush forward. They cannot accept other orders at all until the enemy completely disappears or they themselves are completely destroyed.
Therefore, when Murong Feng, who was still inciting the crowd and encouraging everyone to fight to the end, turned his horse's head and fled, all the Qingzhou generals unanimously issued an order to pursue them across the board.
"Woo...Woo...Woo!" Zhang Liao blew the horn himself. This time it was not to ask for help or to warn, but to convey the latest order with uneven horn sounds.
Under his command, the iron cavalry divided into two groups, using Zhang Liao and Lu Qiling as arrows respectively to form two sharp arrow formations. When the Hu people realized that the situation was not good and chaos broke out, they suddenly accelerated and the waves surged.
Generally, it was taken into the formation of the Hu Cavalry Army.
"Peel through the enemy formation and open the way for General Xu!" Zhang Liao explained.
In an instant, the entire formation of the Xianbei army was shattered. The horses that had lost their masters screamed and ran around, knocking over those who stood in the way, and countless pairs of fleeing feet stepped over the fallen ones, without waiting for the Han army.
He came to kill him and trampled him into a pulp.
At the beginning of this massive pursuit involving tens of thousands of people, the biggest casualties were not caused by the Qingzhou Army, but the trampling of each other by the defeated Xianbei troops was the culprit.
Thousands of Xianbei people died crying, and before they died, they still shouted for mercy in half-baked Chinese. According to old legends, the people of the Central Plains like to repay evil with kindness. It doesn't matter if they kill people or set fires, as long as they apologize afterwards and express respect and repentance.
can be forgiven.
Although they have also heard of Wang Yu's reputation, since the other party is from the Central Plains, it is impossible that he does not have any habits of the Central Plains people, right?
The Huns were killed in rivers of blood and not a single piece of armor was left. That was because they had long been attached to the Central Plains and could not be considered real grassland people. The Central Plains people were compassionate to outsiders, but they were very particular about eradicating their own people. The Huns
If you don't think clearly about the key points, you will naturally be slaughtered.
But now, although the army has been defeated, its numbers are far greater than that of the Han army. They don't think they can kill all the 100,000 grassland cavalry and 40,000 Hannu like they killed the Huns, right?
At this time, isn't it a natural choice to retreat?
However, the answer given by the Han army made them very disappointed.
"Pursuit with the whole army, no prisoners!" Xu Huang swung his ax and shouted angrily. Even if Wang Yu's attitude towards the Hu people was not taken into account, the battle was so brutal and so many blood feuds were forged.
For the hussars who are happy with revenge, how can they have any room to hold back?
Compassion? Accumulation of Yin De? Let’s wait until the battlefield is cleaned up after the pursuit. If there are lucky people who can survive until that time, Xu Huang doesn’t mind being merciful and asking for a favor for them. But now, the most important thing is to eliminate evil and do everything possible.
.
"Kill!" The 20,000 soldiers of the Taishan Army shouted in unison, and the sound of killing was like the sky falling apart and the earth cracking.
Although the Yellow Turban warriors ran very fast, the soldiers of the Deefeng Battalion did not give in too much. Every one of them was full of energy, leaping as fast as flying, and chased closely behind the cavalry.
If someone could look down from the air, they would be surprised to find that the Qingzhou generals reached perfect coordination at the moment they launched the pursuit. The two of them divided the military formation into two and formed an oblique triangle attack array.
.
Between the two arrays, the panic-stricken Xianbei people were like weeds under a sickle, being cut here and there. They could not stop the joint attack of Lu Qiling and Zhang Liao, so they had to be forced to gather in the middle of the two triangular arrays. But it was surprising.
The scary thing is that the bottoms of the two triangle-shaped teams are completely connected together!
After the cavalry in the front row drove Hu Qi to the center, the infantry in the back row stepped over in formation, wielding their swords and axes, and chopped into pieces any who stood in the way, whether they were resisters or surrenderers.
Taishi Ci and Wei Yan were not idle either. They pulled their troops into a long and thin queue and advanced hand in hand with the arrow formation composed of cavalry. The soldiers took time to unwind their bows and arrows, aiming and shooting as if they were on a safari.
The Xianbei people who used to be as fierce as wolves hunted them as wild deer.
Hu Qi was stunned by the rhythmic and layered attacks of the Qingzhou Army.
Those who wanted to escape found that there were people on all sides, moving east and west like turbulent currents in the sea, with no fixed rules and no way out. Those who wanted to resist were faced with the same situation. Let alone besieging the enemy, they were in chaos and chaos.
In a crowded crowd, it is difficult to find your way around.
Many people had given up, crying loudly, and couldn't help but follow the crowd around, until they were killed by the Han army, or pushed down by their own people, and then trampled to pieces.
People on the edge of the rebellion are even worse. It seems that they have a choice and can try to control their destiny. But in fact, unless they are at the junction of the central army and the rear army, they will only face
It's just a pincer attack between companions and enemies.
At this moment, they were no longer the Xianbei wolf riders who dominated the world, but a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Even if a farmer without any training caught up from behind, he could cut them to the ground.
The sky was getting darker and darker, but the Han army had no intention of giving up. First the light cavalry on the two wings, and then the heavy armored infantry caught up from behind. The torches were lit one by one. The hussars fought at night and pursued with all their strength.
The defeated Xianbei army broke away from contact.
"There is another general in the Qingzhou army." Gongsun Zan, who was watching the battle at the top of the city, had a keen idea of the changes in the hussar army and couldn't help but praise him.
Pursuing and killing is also very knowledgeable. It is not as simple as rushing all the way to the enemy's back and slashing and killing, or even chasing the enemy in front and opening up a blocking formation. The impact of the defeated army is very terrifying, let alone the cavalry pursuit.
If you don't get in front of Hu Qi, even if you can catch him, you will only be drowned in the tide of rout.
In a sense, a group of people who lose their minds because they are desperate are not much worse than the Yellow Turban warriors who are fearless of life and death because of their fanaticism and belief. It is quite dangerous to block them head-on or to pursue them too closely.
On the contrary, if you grasp the rhythm and slow down the attack, it is very possible to use the rout to kill the enemy and eliminate the enemy's possible stubborn resistance, just as the unknown general in the cavalry army is doing at this moment.
Slow, slow, quick, slow, the general skillfully controlled the rhythm of the attack. The Hussars were like waves, and the Xianbei army was like a dam made of sand. Under the blows that came one after another, Hu Qi could never stabilize.
In the formation, every soldier and horse tried to restore organization, escape in an orderly manner or resist, but every effort was quickly disintegrated.
What's even more amazing is that the general, through cooperation with the Qingqi, slightly guided the retreating army. Although it was not directed towards Xian Yufu, according to the current direction of the Xianbei army's retreat, the miscellaneous military formation
It will obviously be affected.
During the fierce battle between Hu Qi and the Hussars, Xian Yufu was facing off against one another, and General Zou's siege had reached the final moment. Seeing that the Second General and the remaining thousands of Youzhou troops were about to be destroyed, something unexpected happened on the other side.
protrusion.
Even after seeing Hu Qi's defeat, Xian Yufu still had no intention of giving up completely.
After all, the Qingzhou Army had a small number of people. They were focused on chasing Hu Qi and could not take care of their own side. Shan Jing's second general's army had lost its combat effectiveness. Xian Yufu thought that he still had a good chance.
First of all, he could take advantage of the Qingzhou Army's exhaustion from hard fighting and chaotic formation to attack from the side and take advantage. After observing it for a long time, he discovered something strange about the Han Army's reinforcements. The fighting here was so fierce, but those people had only been there.
The people waving flags and shouting in the distance were quite loud, but they obviously had no substantial combat power.
You know, the Hussars are chasing now, and it is the time to fight the drowned dog. What reason does the Han army have not to join in? Based on Xian Yufu's inference, the Han army is bluffing and did not come from a long distance.
There are just some stragglers, so there is nothing to worry about anyway.
Of course, the risk of picking up bargains is very high. If you make a mistake, you will become a victim of the Xianbei people and attract the attention of the Han army to yourself.
What shocked Xian Yufu the most was the 10,000 yellow turban warriors. Although they traveled a long distance overnight and fought hard for half a day, there was no trace of fatigue on those people, just like they showed no regard for pain, life and death.
Xian Yufu was really worried, fearing that if the opponent could continue in this state, it wouldn't take more than half an hour, which would be enough to defeat his 40,000 troops.
His other idea is relatively safe.
Now Xiguan and the eastern part of Youzhou are completely empty. If he moves quickly enough, he can hope to get ahead of Wang Yu and capture Xiguan with a rapid march. The Qingzhou Army came from a long distance, and the Zahu Army has a high proportion of cavalry. At the same time,
He was also faster at the start. In this way, even if Wang Yu completely defeated the Xianbei people, he would still be out of reach of the eastern part of Youzhou.
Xian Yufu's own soldiers and horses plus Wuwan's army were enough to guard Xiongguan, wipe out the Qingzhou Army's scattered troops in Youzhou, and seize Piaoyujin, the place where grain was stored.
In this way, the war situation in Youzhou is still promising.
His idea was not wrong, on the contrary, it was very insightful. However, before he could make corresponding adjustments, the torrent of defeated troops surged directly over him, frightening him so much that he couldn't even think about it. Thinking east and west, he and Xian Yuyin abandoned their opponents and ran away in different directions.
Just kidding, if you get caught up in a rout, you will become a rout. What else can you do except run away quickly?
Bystanders clearly saw Gongsun Zan's hesitation and Zhang Liao's decisiveness at the same time, and were filled with admiration. He remained calm during the victory, clearly judged the situation, and took advantage of the situation to push the situation in the most favorable direction. , such a general can indeed be compared with famous generals in ancient times.
