Chapter 458(2/3)
The generals rushed forward and led their men forward desperately.
The crossbowmen no longer worried about whether their fingers and arms could hold on, they worked hard to cock the string and release the arrow.
A spear was raised high, and a man's head was placed on it.
The gunman proudly shouted, "Victory!"
The whole army cheered, "Victory!"
"Second brother, be careful!"
Wang Laoer was so proud of himself with fifty coins that he was almost successfully attacked by the enemy.
Fortunately, the old thief took action to resolve the crisis.
The Zhou army was struggling to hold on, and someone shouted for help, but was immediately beheaded by the general.
Some people shouted for help, but they were surrounded by their own colleagues and everyone had too much time to look after themselves.
Morale just fell to the bottom step by step.
The sound of horse hooves came from behind.
"Owner!"
Wu Da came leading Yang Xuan's horse.
Yang Xuanfei mounted the horse.
Behind him, Uda led his guards to protect him.
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry, numbering less than three thousand, quietly waited for his order.
Yang Xuan was in a daze for a moment, thinking of his identity during the war in Northern Xinjiang.
The magistrate of Taiping County took part in the war with a death camp that was close to the people's strength.
In that battle, he was just a soy sauce guy.
At this moment, he has many talented people under his command, and the three thousand cavalry are capable of destroying the enemy's sharp presence.
Ahead, the Southern Zhou army was in chaos.
Someone was constantly leading reinforcements, but the front formation was crushed by the Tang army's assault. The crowd was so huge that it was impossible to get up.
In the Chinese army, the flag is constantly waving, and Bai Xiong is constantly giving orders.
Yang Xuan saw a big flag in front of him, so he led his men to rush over.
"assault!"
The enemy general was shouting, conveying Shiro's order.
At this time, the only way is to launch a counterattack to suppress the Tang army's offensive.
Viewed from a high place, the Zhou army behind was retreating, but it was not a retreat, but an orderly retreat.
This is a preparation to set up a second array at the back. As long as the front can withstand this wave of Tang army's offensive with counter-attacks, it can be evacuated immediately.
Yang Xuan rode his horse and charged towards him.
"It's Yang Gou!" the enemy general said through gritted teeth, "Kill him!"
Tu Shang held a long spear in his hand and strangled the charging enemy soldiers one by one.
Yang Xuan drew his bow and drew an arrow.
let go!
The enemy will fall!
The arrow flew away again. The flag held the arrow in its hand and slowly knelt down on one knee, but tried hard to keep the flag from falling.
What a good man!
The arrow flew away again, sealing his throat with one arrow.
The flag fell, and the Zhou army lost its command.
Yang Xuan led his men to cover up the attack, and soon caused a collapse.
“The right wing is broken!”
Bai Xiong saw it and his body shook.
"I shouldn't, but I have to do this!"
The pressure from Bianjing was so great that both Peng Jing and Fang Chong could not bear it.
The pressure was transmitted to him, forcing him to fight the Tang army early.
Sending good soldiers to attack is also a helpless move after seeing that there is no hope of victory, hoping that one attack will succeed.
But not only was it unsuccessful, it caused a collapse.
Whose fault is this?
Bai Xiong smiled bitterly, then took a deep breath, "Send someone back to ask the two husbands to return to Bianjing. In addition, all the garrison in the city came out of the city to meet them, and told them... that they were defeated!"
At this time, there was a shout from the front, and then the crowd rushed this way.
Bai Xiong looked back and saw that the second line of defense he had prepared had not yet taken shape.
He waved his hand, "Withdraw!"
"He will be defeated!" The generals under his command thought he was crazy!
"If we can save some troops at this moment, we will have more confidence in resisting the Tang army in the future."
Before the second line of defense was formed, the order to evacuate came.
The general looked at the Zhou army that was beginning to collapse in front, and said in a trembling voice: "This is to let the defeated troops stop the Tang army!"
"withdraw!"
This is a crazy decision.
It is also a cruel decision.
The rout occurred, and the Zhou troops at the front were fleeing frantically.
There is no need to fight at this time, you can just hack and stab with ease, and you will gain military achievements one by one.
No one will turn around and resist!
This is the truth behind the so-called defeat like a mountain.
"Failed!"
Bai Xiong took a deep breath, "The cavalry intercepts the enemy."
The defeat was too fast. In order to give Peng Jing and his two men in Yongzhou City time to escape and the Zhou army on the second line of defense to evacuate, Bai Xiong once again threw out his cavalry.
This is a fueling tactic!
But he had to.
Poor cavalry who could have fled back first, but now they bravely rushed towards the Tang army.
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry ran into them head-on.
A quarter of an hour.
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry broke through the enemy formation.
Behind him, there are corpses on the ground!
A Northern Xinjiang cavalry covered in blood proudly said: "We are waiting for..."
"Northern Xinjiang Army!"
Amidst the cheers, the Zhou army was defeated faster and faster.
In Yongzhou City.
Peng Jing and Fang Chong were talking about the recent situation.
"Sun Shi and others want to get rid of redundant officials, but those families rely on this to make a living and go to other people's redundant officials. Will the whole family starve to death? That old beast is not afraid of being stabbed to death when he goes out." Fang Chong sneered.
"Not only are there redundant officials, he also targets rewards. There are many families in Bianjing who rely on His Majesty's annual rewards to survive. It's good for him. He just wants to ruin other people's livelihoods."
Peng Jing felt that Sun Shi was too radical, "If we can win this battle, I will impeach Sun Shi and expel him from the capital!"
"I think it would be better to kill him, once and for all!" Fang Chong said coldly.
"We still have to watch this battle." Peng Jing was a little distracted and pointed forward, "Look, it looks like there's a lot of smoke and dust?"
Fang Chong took a look and said, "Yes! I guess it's a critical moment."
Dozens of horses came galloping.
"how?"
Peng Jing asked at the top of the city.
