One hundred and fortieth seventh chapter Tigers (18)
@@The collapse of the front naturally began with the collapse of Murong Zhengyan’s troops.
However, what really caused the overall reaction from a technical point of view was the simultaneous collapse of the two symmetrically arranged troops Wang Yu and Feng Duan. Because the collapse of these two troops caused the official army to lose their left and right wing support points on the battle line at the same time, causing the official army to lose support points on the left and right wings at the same time.
The army's Crane Wing Formation was broken into three sections, basically losing its integrity.
At this time, the army's follow-up formations had already formed, and they had even tried to deploy follow-up troops under command to try to outflank them.
At this point, fate is hopeless.
Even if Xue Changxiong maintained his sanity and final dignity with Murong Zhengyan's encouragement, he could only order the entire army to withdraw to the camp before being surrounded by army troops... but in the hope that the battle would not last long and most of the troops would
They all still have generals and discipline in order to rely on the camps to buy time and save as many troops as possible.
However, even Xue Changxiong knows that this kind of thing can only be wishful thinking. Trying is better than nothing.
After all, when the army is defeated, life or death depends on fate.
Sure enough, before the order was issued, it had not spread to all parts of the battlefield. The collapse starting from the near ends of the two wings had already triggered a chain reaction. After the defeat, there were no officers and soldiers anymore, they could only scramble to be the first, which caused the chaos to spread rapidly.
.
What made Xue Changxiong powerless was that even his own troops, his own sons, Xue Wancheng and Xue Wanquan on the left and right sides could not restrain the troops... The general was immediately there and saw with his own eyes that his youngest son Xue Wanquan was trying to lead a group of troops.
They tried to rectify the defeated army head-on, but before they could reach the front, they were overturned by the defeated troops, and the guards turned around and joined in the rout.
At the critical moment, General Manager Xue regained his true energy. The military formation was no longer there, but the sun reappeared. With an order, and the left and right wings were Xue Changxiong's headquarters, it worked after all, and he was regarded as a member of the Chinese Army.
The position stabilized the situation for a while, and then slowly retreated.
However, there is still a grandmaster here in the Chinese Army, but other places do not have this treatment.
In just two quarters of an hour, regardless of whether they heard Xue Changxiong's order to retreat, the army abandoned the entire front. Ten lieutenant generals and their troops, plus a few state and county reinforcements, totaling more than 20,000 people, chose to go north.
Returned to camp, and the formation was almost completely disorganized.
It can be seen that it is not just Murong Zhengyan who has an accurate judgment on the battle situation.
Unlike the senior officers and soldiers who had anticipated the outcome of the battle before the war, the leaders of the military battalions seemed to lack this kind of high-level vision. They did not expect that victory would come so quickly, especially most of the fifteen battalions at the rear.
When they entered the battle, they already discovered that the front army was victorious and the officers and soldiers retreated across the board. Under the eagerness to make a contribution, the dozen or so battalion heads who had just received the order to spread their wings actually lost order and rushed forward one after another.
Only a few scattered battalion leaders still followed the military orders and tried to continue to outflank them, but they were quickly led by other battalion leaders and chose to go to the front to seek military exploits.
Zhang Xing was riding on a yellow horse. Looking at the situation before and after, he saw that there were crowds of soldiers everywhere. Whether they were the official army or his own rear army, they were all out of order and somewhat powerless.
Obviously, a single victory cannot make this "big army" that has not yet been reorganized complete the so-called qualitative change. At least this battle is not enough. He has no doubt that if the former army failed to hold on and was defeated, then according to this
If it shows, the army is likely to suffer a disastrous defeat.
Then he became the laughingstock of the world.
"Zhang Longtou, the rear army can't be controlled now, and there is no need to control it. The victory has been won, so just push forward." Unexpectedly, it was Chen Bin who came to persuade him seriously. "The front army pressed the official troops into the camp.
, even if Xue Changxiong calls another grandmaster, it will be useless!"
Zhang Xing nodded without comment.
"You have to keep an eye on Xue Changxiong to prevent him from getting angry." Bai Yousi also reminded seriously.
"How many Chengdan should be divided?" Zhang Xing asked immediately.
"Three!"
"Which two are going with you?" Zhang Xing did not discuss the necessity of Bai Yousi himself.
"It doesn't matter, but there is one person who has to see what you want." Bai Yousi looked at his senior brother and pointed out the key. "Senior Brother Wu is the key..."
Zhang Xing
After waking up, he asked in surprise: "Do you think you can keep Xue Changxiong?"
"Of course I can't guarantee it." Bai Yousi answered frankly. He just pulled out the hairpin on the battlefield, simply took out a piece of cloth and tied it hastily. "But if Senior Brother Wu and I, according to Xue Changxiong's attack,
I’m two or three points sure about the reaction!”
Two or three points of certainty to retain a master! A Hebei marching general manager!
"Then why not give it a try!" Chen Bin couldn't help but interrupt.
Wu Jingfeng also cheered up: "That's right! Zhang Longtou, don't miss the opportunity!"
Xiong Bonan also cheered up a little, but Xu Shiren frowned slightly.
Zhang Xing glanced at these four Chengdan masters, but suddenly asked Qian Tang, who had just returned from delivering orders to the rear: "What does Chief Qian think?"
Qian Tang was startled for a moment, as if he didn't expect that this matter would be asked to him, but in just a moment, he came to his senses and immediately replied with a straight face: "I don't think so!"
"Why?" Zhang Xing kept asking in the middle of the battlefield.
"Because after this battle, the Hejian Camp has no ability to interfere with the situation south of Qingzhang River." Qian Tang only answered seriously under Chen Bin's surprised eyes. The gang could take it when they wanted, Wu
Regardless of whether it is Yang County or Qinghe County, even if it takes action and resists, it has nothing to do with the Hejian camp and Xue Changxiong. As for whether to try to keep Xue Changxiong, it only depends on whether the gang will attack Zhangshui in the short term.
The northern counties are related... But for me, these twenty-five battalions are not enough to swallow up the ten counties in the heart of Hebei. In this case, it is better to let Xue Changxiong, whose prestige has plummeted and his troops have suffered heavy losses, continue to act as a grand master.
Guarding the counties around Hejian for the gang to avoid being swallowed up by the Youzhou camp will in turn become the capital for some people in Youzhou to break the balance of power."
Halfway through listening, Xiong Bonan and Xu Shiren already nodded, while Wu Jingfeng was no longer excited.
After the other party finished speaking, Zhang Xing also nodded: "What Chief Qian said is absolutely true."
With that said, Zhang Dalong looked at Chen Bin again and explained seriously: "When we occupy the four counties south of Qingzhang River, have a base in Hebei, and join forces in the east, we can tidy up a little and gather talents, what?
Even the master is not afraid. If you can hit him once, you can hit him a second time."
"What Zhang Longtou said is absolutely true." Chen Bin immediately stopped insisting. Instead, regardless of the physical pain he suffered in the previous military formation, he respectfully said yes.
In fact, he just remembered that this Zhang Sanlang seemed to have the nickname of Little Zhang Shizhao, and it is said that the elder Zhang Shizhao died at the hands of the other party.
"I remember Chief Chen said that Gao Zhan went to the side division, and there are still two Cheng Dan in the bandit camp." Of course Zhang Xing didn't know what Chen Bin was thinking, so he just continued to ask. In addition to Murong Zhengyan, there was another
Is it Dou Pi? Where is he?"
Chen Bin cheered up, looked around, and immediately pointed to one place: "Opposite the Dengzhou Army!"
"In this battle, one hundred percent of the pills must be killed to set the record straight." Zhang Xing then looked at Wu Jingfeng. "Thank you for Wu Dalang's trip and hold this person down. I will send a few pill-condensing reinforcements in due course and stay together.
This person! As for King Xiongtian and Chief Xu, they will follow Sanniang to pursue Xue Changxiong for surveillance and persecution!"
The four Chengdans each took their orders and left.
As soon as the people left, Zhang Xing, Chen Bin, Qian Tang, and Jia Runshi slowly moved forward, raising the flag and marching. At the same time, Shang Huaien's tribe to the west, Dou Lide's tribe to the east, and Dan Tonghai behind him.
The troops, Zhang Xing's headquarters led by Wang Xiongdan in the front, and Jia Yue's troops all gradually moved closer in accordance with military orders.
It turned out that Zhang Dalongtou imitated his opponent Xue Changxiong's situation of calm and retreating in the face of danger, and imitated the opponent's small-scale order. In the end, he controlled and mobilized a heavy army group, and then pursued Feng Duanbu.
Slowly approaching the enemy camp in front. The reason for this is that they are worried that these soldiers and horses lack experience in large-scale combat and will be out of order like the ones behind them. Although they retreat, there are actually some officers and soldiers who have maintained their organization.
The camp is blocking it, so I want to personally ensure that the camp can be breached.
However, the army moved northward and approached the camp. Before it could reach the camp, or in other words, when the first wave of defeated soldiers from the Hejian camp were about to arrive at the camp, a new situation suddenly emerged.
Let us also say that in the official camp, due to the defeat at the front, many clever civilians and auxiliary military managers
Naturally, they chose to take the opportunity to escape, but because of the large number and the rapid defeat of the army, more people chose to cower and wait.
Some people even didn't know that the army ahead had been defeated.
After all, even the position next to the camp to watch the battle was in high demand before.
In one of the camps, amid the chaos and seeing the defeat approaching, a group of hundreds of civilians came upstream and brought scattered weapons and other military items they had seized from the camp.
Around the door.
As he approached, a man wearing a turban but wearing an official uniform was nervous. He turned to look at a strong black-faced man beside him: "Liu Heizi, is this okay?"
"Of course it can be done!" The man held a knife in one hand and a wooden shield in the other. He waved his hand immediately after hearing the words, and answered almost without hesitation. "I, Liu Heiguan, have traveled many times in the eastern border of Hebei. When have I ever deceived anyone?
Liu Xiancheng, you are still considered my family! Why don’t you believe me?”
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you just surrendered two days ago. After you arrived, you only said that you really hated the Clan's rules. But today, you suddenly said that you came to surrender under the orders of your leader and leader Dou."
The man responded anxiously. "But if you want to pretend to surrender, how come you are not prepared at all and just come to look for me on the spur of the moment and ask me to find a civilian husband from this county?"
At this point, the leaders of the surrounding people became more and more hesitant.
And Liu Heiguan was helpless. When he asked Dou Lide to pretend to surrender two days ago, how did he know that the decisive battle would happen today? How could he win so quickly? Would he still come if he knew about it?
Only now, how can we explain it carefully?
At this thought, Liu Heiguan did not hesitate, and suddenly abandoned the wooden shield in his hand, revealing the waist knife that had been filled with weak water zhenqi through the wooden shield. Then, with both hands, he slashed towards the man who had been chattering. Unexpectedly,
It was a knife that cut the owl's head, and the result was blood splattering in five steps. The others were shocked and stunned.
"I was personally appointed by Zhang Dalongtou!" Liu Heigang struck out with his sword. He immediately turned around and yelled at the civilians with the sword raised. The army is in front. It's your luck that you people follow me, otherwise you will be killed.
Result! Now listen to my order, don’t move or speak, and when I say kill, you will all beat the drums and trumpets and shout for kill, won’t you?”
The peasants each lost their voices, but they became honest.
And that moment didn't take long at all. In a moment, the defeated army in front was almost in front of the camp gate. At this time, there were still civilians behind many fences who had been watching the battle. They didn't know how to escape at this time. Naturally, those defeated soldiers didn't pay attention to it.
A conspicuous group of people came straight to the camp gate and made way for the civilians in front of them.
Liu Heiguan was extremely nervous, but fortunately his face was dark and he could hide it... Only one defeated soldier came forward, and his first shout broke his throat.
The civilian husband behind him also showed no reaction.
However, the defeated soldier in front heard the voice of the black-faced man in front of him, and was on the spot for a moment, not daring to move forward.
Liu Heibuan came to his senses first. He suddenly used his weak water energy and struck the man with his sword again, knocking the man to the ground. Then he used his energy again, raised his sword, and shouted again.
stand up:
"Help the hero here! Kill!"
The civilians in the rear woke up and started making noises according to the previous plan. They also beat the war drums and horns that were brought up and blew them randomly. For a moment, the drums were beating loudly inside the army camp, and the shouts of "kill" shook the sky.
Not to mention the officers and soldiers, even the army was caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events.
In fact, at this time, if the officers and soldiers can move forward bravely, they can easily break through the obstruction. However, when the battle is defeated, people's hearts are scattered, and the slightest disturbance may lead to a complete collapse, let alone such an obvious blockade. Moreover, the more
The officers and soldiers who can still maintain an organized manner, the core forces and generals are trying to cut off the rear, while those fleeing in the front are mostly those who are greedy for life.
Therefore, in panic, the defeated troops in front of these camps simply gave up their efforts to return to their own camps, and instead chose to escape through the gaps in the camps, or simply flee to the surrounding camps where there was no incident.
Liu Heigang was so excited that he chased and killed several more people. Then he returned to the camp and shouted a reminder with all his strength:
"Help is here! If you don't want to be beaten to death, now you will be punished and meritorious service. Stand up to it."
If you lose the army, you will be rewarded afterwards!"
At that moment, he hurriedly ordered: "Tear down all the flags of the officers and soldiers! Pile the wood beside them behind each camp gate and burn them!"
After a moment, a fire broke out in the camp and spread immediately. The whole camp became noisy for a while, and even spread to other camps.
The chaos got out of hand.
At the same time, the rear of the officers and soldiers had been constantly being followed by the army, but this time they were temporarily blocked in front of them, which naturally made them even more disorderly.
On the other side, under the red banner with the word "Deposed", many people saw the movement ahead and realized that the army's retreat was blocked. They frequently looked at Zhang Xing and were secretly surprised.
Chen Bin even thought of Zhang Dalongtou's words, "I have no less than four or five strong eyes in the opposite camp."
The rest of the people just didn't think of similar words, and most of them had similar thoughts.
However, what they don't know is that Zhang Dalongtou, who is riding a yellow gelding, hanging a dragon sword, and wearing a "yellow" short cloak, looks calm and composed on the surface, but he is also confused in his heart - he has no idea about the camp opposite.
What was going on here? The day Doulide came to ask if he could send more spies, he had long forgotten about it.
Even if I remember it, I can't think of it.
In fact, Dou Lide didn't even know that Liu Heigang was responsible for this incident.
"Tell Jia Yue and Shan Tonghai to help Wu Dalang and capture that Dou Pi!"
Confused, Zhang Xing also did not give up on camera's war management. He could see that the officers and soldiers had too much time to fight. Although they were defeated, the organization was still there and needed one last blow before they could be completely driven out.
Let Cheng Zhili and Fan Bao go to face Wang Changxie, Wang Wulang and Xu Kaitong go to face Wang Yu, and the rest of us will go to Feng Duan... Tell them that even if they can't take it for a while, we must get these first
Drive the generals out of the military formation! Then replace other generals and drive them out one by one!"
The people around them just thought that Zhang Dalongtou had been waiting for this time, and they became more and more convinced.
At this time, it was just past half of the morning. Under the spring sunshine, except for Xue Changxiong's several thousand troops who had successfully entered the camp, most of the other troops were blocked in front of the camp. As Zhang Xing issued another military order, the senior generals of the government and army
, began to be called out in order by the generals with higher cultivation levels in the army.
The higher the cultivation level, the more effectively the situation can be controlled. The more diligently the troops are commanded, the more likely they are to be attacked first.
Moreover, they often use more people to fight against fewer people, crushing the practitioners in terms of their combat power.
It can only be said that the effect was surprisingly good. Dou Pi was originally beaten on the head by Wu Jingfeng and Wang Zhen. As Jia Yue and Shan Tonghai arrived, he could not hold on for a moment. No matter how pity the troops, he could only grit his teeth and leap away.
Get up, abandon the army and leave.
However, Wu Jingfeng's speed was astonishing, and he took the initiative early. At this time, he fought hard to intercept in the air, and cooperated with several other people to attack continuously, which also made Dou Pi feel embarrassed for a while, and he had no foothold.
As a result of his escape and the embarrassing appearance of being pursued, his troops in turn became another unit that completely lost its resistance after Murong Zhengyan's troops.
Massacres, tramples and surrenders began to occur on a large scale.
Wang Changxie was the second one to flee. Like Dou Pi, he was directly affected by the rejection of the camp. At this time, he fled in a hurry, but no one was pursuing him. "
Wang Fubei was nostalgic, Cheng Zhili and Fan Bao had military orders, and quickly turned to the east side of another Zhonglang general.
At this time, Zhang Xingye, Qian Tang, Chen Bin, Wang Xiongdan, Jia Runshi and others approached Feng Duan.
Feng Duan was different from the other two. There were actually no riots in the camp behind him, at least there were no large-scale riots, so his troops could escape into the camp at first, but they had no choice but to lose too quickly, and there was also a rout.
Come and fight to get into the camp.
After the entire camp of Dou Pi's troops next door collapsed, they were blocked outside the camp gate.
Feng Duan looked at the stream of light in mid-air on one side, which was where Wu Jingfeng and the three Ningdans were pursuing and besieging Dou Pi. He then looked at the red-background deposed flag in front of him, and then swept it over the people following Zhang.
Chen Bin, who was walking behind him, hesitated for a moment, turned over and dismounted, abandoned his weapon and bowed down: "Zhang Long is on top, Feng is willing to surrender.
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he asked Chen Bin beside him: "What is this person's temperament and his talents?"
How, what’s the use?”
Chen Bin hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth frankly: "This person likes to serve both sides in the Hejian camp. In everything, he puts his safety and the army first. Xue Changxiong once secretly cursed this person as a villain. In today's battle, he and Wang Yu took the lead."
Collapse. But not only is he a descendant of the Feng family in Changle, he is also a condensate cultivator, and he is also a recognized master of civil engineering..."
Zhang Xing heard that he was a master of civil engineering, but when he heard that he was a master of civil engineering, he admired his talent and said, "That's all! He just surrendered on the spot, so there is no need to kill him!"
Feng Duan bowed his head in front and heard Chen Bin's words and comments about him. At first, he was blushing, ashamed and angry, and even prepared to get up and run away. But in the end, he heard Zhang San speak and forgive himself, but he still relaxed and gasped immediately.
Take a breath.
On the other side, on the general stage in front of the Chinese army tent in the central camp, Xue Changxiong looked away from the large-scale surrender scene on his left, then looked at the three Chengdan masters at the gate directly in front, took a deep breath for a moment, and issued the order
An extremely useful and timely military order:
"Let Lao Liu and Lao Qi pack up their troops as much as possible, walk from the rear camp, cross the Ma Face River, and go all the way north. I will take charge of the rear!"
"There are drums beating, trumpets blowing, and the whole army is ordered to attack." Zhang Xing, reminded by Qian Tang, also issued a military order.
But it was obviously of little use, and it was a bit too late.
PS: I'm sorry everyone, but the pain was really unbearable last night, and it became more and more painful throughout the night. When I was typing, the pain was obviously severe in the ribs a few centimeters below the right armpit, just below the shoulder blade.
It hurts too. I tried to exercise, but I couldn’t bear it even more when I bent over. I don’t know if it was inflammation of the muscles and bones or something. It happened more than once.
