When the central army and the left-wing army finally smoothed over their mutual control and retreated slowly, after taking a few steps, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise behind them. When Changsun Jiaqing turned around, he was shocked to see that he was supposed to be with the army.
The vanguard force with armored cavalry fighting each other had been routed.
Defeated, they were defeated. I didn't expect them to be able to hold on for too long. However, these defeated soldiers threw away their weapons, took off their armor, ran wildly, and ran into the rear of the Chinese army.
The Chinese army array that reluctantly turned around was scattered.
The vanguard and the Chinese army were mixed together, and the array was scattered. The captains were also completely confused and could not gather their troops at all. This chaos quickly spread among the Chinese army array, and soon the entire army was mixed up.
Morale collapses and command becomes ineffective.
Before Sun Jiaqing had time to restrain the rebels, the pursuers of the Right Guards had already come over in a black mass, biting the tail of the Chinese army. Thousands of light cavalry from the Right Guards even came up from both wings to cover up the army, all the way towards the army.
He ran forward from the front, intending to intercept him.
The eldest grandson Jiaqing was in a state of disbelief.
He knows his own affairs well, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command look menacing, but in fact there are only a few regular troops. Even the main force of Changsun's private army is mostly composed of domestic slaves, villagers, refugees, etc., and there is a serious lack of training. If
Fighting with a favorable wind is better, as everyone swarms forward and is crushed by their numbers. However, once the situation reaches a stalemate or even becomes passive, the morale of the army will quickly collapse.
At present, the armored cavalry are chasing after them with their tails biting, and the light cavalry on both sides are even more intent on catching up to the front to intercept them. The soldiers under their command will definitely not be able to outrun the light cavalry. Once this situation is formed where there are pursuers behind and interceptions in front.
, will be a complete failure.
It's not just a failure. The tens of thousands of troops under his command have been thrown into chaos by the fleeing vanguard army. If they retreat blindly, the entire army is likely to be annihilated...
Changsun Jiaqing made a decisive decision and ordered the retreat to be stopped. He personally led the Chinese army to stabilize the position and turned back to fight the armored cavalry.
The strategy is correct. There are only more than 2,000 light cavalry on both sides. Although they are highly mobile and have a good effect on disturbing the morale of the army and demoralizing them, they lack lethality and cannot inflict fatal damage. Therefore, the astonishingly lethal cavalry behind them must be deployed.
The armored cavalry must be dealt with, otherwise they will be killed.
However, although the strategy was correct, he also knew that his troops lacked tactical literacy, but he still overestimated the execution ability of his soldiers.
When he ordered the entire army to stop retreating, intending to turn around and fight, he desperately ate the more than a thousand armored cavalry and then retreated calmly, but he found that the army had lost control...
The vanguard force that returned from the rout was originally composed of private armies from various clans. They had already been devastated by the brutal and explosive killings by the armored cavalry. They even resented the eldest son Jiaqing for sacrificing them to buy space and time for the Chinese army to retreat. How could they still obey at this time?
The order of the eldest son Jiaqing? The armored cavalry behind him is chasing after him. If he runs slower, he will be trampled by iron hoofs and slaughtered by steel knives. He rushes into the Chinese army array in a swarm, hoping to avoid the pursuit of the armored cavalry - densely packed everywhere.
Most of them are people, so the probability of the steel knife hitting me is naturally infinitesimally small...
The Changsun family's private army was repeatedly frustrated in front of the Youtun Guard Formation and suffered numerous injuries. They were already filled with fear. Now that they were rushed by the vanguard, the black-helmeted and black-armored cavalry came to cover them up, with sharp steel knives.
, the rising horse hooves completely destroyed the soldiers' only trace of reason.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were like collapsing mountains. The only formations fell apart in an instant, and they collapsed thousands of miles under the shouts of men and horses.
"It's over..."
Changsun Jiaqing's vision went dark, and he swayed on his horse, almost falling off it. In front of the two armies, what they fear most is the loss of morale and the collapse of military morale. If they can withstand the armored cavalry, they can still rely on it.
The superiority in military strength led to a counterattack, but now tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were scattered like dolphins and dogs in the mountains and wilderness, and they could only wait to be caught up one by one by the opponent's light cavalry and killed.
This place is still more than fifty miles away from Tonghua Gate. This road will soon be dyed red with the blood of tens of thousands of his soldiers. The scene of corpses everywhere will become the talk of the people in Guanzhong for decades to come. His eldest grandson Jiaqing will also
Being completely nailed into humiliation and never being able to stand up again...
Liu Shenli rode his horse into the rebel formation. Seeing that the rebel formation was completely dispersed and the soldiers were running away without any resistance at all, he was so excited that he led the armored cavalry forward and charged forward, killing until his eyes were red.
, the vanguard of the rebel army that had retreated went straight into the middle of the army. They looked at the tooth flag embroidered with the Changsun family emblem in front of them and rushed over.
Breaking the enemy's formation is already a huge achievement, or if he can capture the enemy general, he, as a captain, can easily win three levels in a row and step into the rank of deputy general...
…
"Soldiers are courageous people." A person who is usually very cowardly can inspire fearless courage in a strong and brave army and fight bravely to kill the enemy. In the same way, a soldier with a strong character should be the first to fight.
The surrounding people's morale collapsed and they fled in all directions, unable to muster the courage to bravely face the enemy.
Therefore, when the two armies are facing each other, they must not retreat unless it is absolutely necessary. Retreating may arouse the fear of the soldiers, leading to large-scale panic and a defeat like a mountain.
This is the case for the Guanlong army at the moment. The vanguard force originally composed of private armies can still hold on. If the eldest son Jiaqing reinforces it in time, he cannot say that he will win with the strength of the Youtun Guards several times higher, but he will fight to the death.
It may not be impossible to beat the garrison to exhaustion and then retreat unscathed, but Changsun Jiaqing was fearful and unwilling to overexpend the Changsun family's private army, so he abandoned the vanguard and led the middle army to retreat.
As a result, the vanguard force was defeated, which in turn affected the entire Chinese army...
By this time, the fear of the enemy had spread to the entire army. The soldiers were fleeing in panic, and the generals had no intention of fighting. Even if they were resurrected from the dead and the overlord was reincarnated, they could not turn the tide.
The eldest grandson Jiaqing could not accept the fact that tens of thousands of troops attacked the Yamato Gate with 5,000 defenders and failed. In the end, he was defeated by the opponent and returned. He was completely lost while sitting on the horse. He only relied on the soldiers around him to hold the reins to prevent him from falling off the horse.
Back, he retreated southward under the escort of his own soldiers.
Behind them, the "Front Lost Formation" composed of armored cavalry surged forward in the Guanlong army formation. The soldiers scattered along the way were like water split by the bow of a ship, and they all moved to the sides to avoid being trampled by iron hooves.
With the knife on his neck, Liu Shenli felt as if he was in a deserted place, chasing the opponent's general Ya Qi all the way to kill him fiercely.
When the soldiers around Changsun Jiaqing discovered the armored cavalry that was chasing after them, they immediately became anxious and quickly surrounded Changsun Jiaqing and fled. However, there were scattered soldiers everywhere in front and behind him. The military order was invalid and they could only be beaten by the rebels.
Move forward little by little.
Only then did the eldest grandson Jiaqing come to his senses and shouted: "Throw away the tooth flag!"
There was chaos all around, and the pole flag raised high simply gave the enemy a guiding light, lest the enemy would not be able to discover his whereabouts...
The soldiers quickly threw away the tooth flag, but it was too late.
Tens of thousands of defeated troops fled southward like dolphins and dogs. The organization of various ministries had long been disrupted. Frightened and panicked troops were everywhere running away. Only the hundreds of soldiers surrounding Changsun Jiaqing were neatly organized in front of them.
It moves slowly and is very eye-catching.
Although he lost his tooth flag, Liu Shenli was already staring at him and chasing him all the way.
The most terrible thing was the soldiers who were fleeing nearby. They saw the armored "fronters out of formation" rushing towards them, but they ignored them and just ran forward blindly. They immediately understood that their goal was
General Changsun...
At this time, personal life is the most important thing. Who cares who General Changsun is? The defeated troops blocking the way along the way moved to both sides to avoid it. They only wanted to go straight to Changsun Jiaqing with their armored cavalry. Otherwise, if they lost
Changsun Jiaqing was the target. He had no choice but to kill him on the spot to vent his anger.
For the sake of your own life, you should go after eldest son Jiaqing...
Therefore, the eldest son Jiaqing, who was running away, sadly discovered that no matter how he dispersed the defeated troops in front of him in order to speed up, the soldiers behind him took the initiative to give up the road, letting the armored cavalry closely guard him, and attacked menacingly all the way.
Come to kill.
In just half a cup of tea, the black-helmeted and black-armored cavalry crashed into the formation of soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers were knocked away almost in an instant. The leader jumped on his horse and held a handle in his hand.
Ma Shan swept across his chest and hit the eldest grandson Jiaqing's breastplate hard on his chest.
"Bang"
The breast shield was shattered, and the eldest son Jiaqing was pulled away from the horse by a strong force, fell under the horse, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, turned his head to the sky. Stars were dancing in front of his eyes. He was dizzy. He felt the cold rain pouring on his face. Then his chest felt tight and he couldn't breathe. He was so suffocated that he passed out.
