Yu Wenlong was frightened and angry at the same time. With such a battle, Youtunwei didn't even bother to come up with a new strategy. He actually copied the same strategy he used last time...
Do you treat me like nothing?
However, what made him even more depressed was that he had been extremely cautious before, guessing at Youtunwei's various possible responses, fearing that he would accidentally fall into his scheme, but he never thought that Youtunwei would repeat his same tricks...
But the most important thing is that now, the Tubo barbarian cavalry are interspersed with each other and are charging towards our rear line with great momentum. Once the light cavalry of the Right Guards also come in a roundabout way at a certain place, the result of the last big defeat will be repeated.
At this moment, how could he care about Changsun Yan?
"Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat! Return to the east of the city wall and make further adjustments!"
Yu Wenlong turned his horse around and retreated along the way he came. He had to protect his family wealth first, otherwise the foundation of the Yuwen family would be destroyed. How could he have the face to face the ancestors of the Yuwen family who were under Jiuquan?
…
By the Yongan Canal.
The offensives of the powerful private armies were getting higher and higher. Although the Right Guards array remained motionless and as solid as a rock under the tidal wave of impact, there were only a few people at that time who could suppress the Right Guards in this way.
?For a time, not only Chang Sun Yan, but also the private soldiers of the powerful families were full of arrogance, and they seemed to be crazy and launched waves of storms towards the Youtunwei position.
The battlefield was filled with blood and fire, and it was extremely tragic.
However, as the frenzied attack failed, the shortcomings of the lack of training of these elite private armies gradually became apparent. The soldiers began to become irritable, their morale began to decline, and their momentum inevitably gradually declined.
"General, please stop!"
"The casualties are too great, I can't bear it anymore!"
"Should we take a moment to take a breather?"
…
Changsunyan looked gloomy, waved his riding whip a few times, and shouted sternly: "Of course I know that you have suffered heavy casualties, but the enemy army is also at the end of its war effort. As long as it persists, its defense line will inevitably collapse! If we withdraw at this time, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"
Needless to say, hurry up and send the soldiers to continue the fierce attack. Anyone who dares to hold back will be killed without mercy!"
Although he has never led a soldier, he has read several military books.
How can there be so many overwhelming forces that are invincible? War is often a stalemate and a struggle for attrition. One moment, they are evenly matched and fighting each other. The next moment, one of the parties suddenly loses its support and collapses in an instant.
This is the so-called "One general's success will last forever".
The private military leaders of various families had no choice but to bite the bullet and force their soldiers to continue to launch fierce attacks. However, the huge casualties made everyone feel heartache. This was the foundation for each family to dominate the place and compete with the imperial court.
If everyone died in Guanzhong, how could the family continue to be glorious and monopolize local politics?
But the matter has come to this, but there is no turning back. All the powerful private armies depend on Guan Long for their survival. If Guan Long is angered at this moment and the other party abandons it, the outcome will only be a dead end...
Changsun Yan was also sweating a little.
The battle situation was too brutal. The private armies, which lacked heavy armor and were poorly trained, seemed to launch an offensive like a tide. They spread across the mountains and plains with ferocious momentum. However, in front of the well-equipped and well-trained Youtun Guards, it was really difficult to shake their strict array.
The tide seems to be surging, but how can it shake the reef at all?
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the rear column. At first, it was only the last soldiers who were released making noises and commotion, but in the blink of an eye, the commotion quickly spread like water ripples and affected the entire rear army.
Chang Sunyan was a little confused and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
The soldiers also looked puzzled. Someone rode to check, but after taking a few steps, a school captain flew over, came to Changsun Yan, took a few breaths, and said loudly: "General, something bad has happened!
"
Changsun Yan whipped his horse whip down and said angrily: "You need to take a breath, finish what you have to say quickly!"
"Here!"
The captain received a whip, but he dared not speak out in anger, and loudly said: "The 'Woye Town Private Army' in the rear suddenly stopped advancing and quickly retreated. I don't know what happened!"
Changsun Yan was stunned for a moment, then whipped him down again, and cursed: "I don't know what happened, why did you come here to report it? Go and investigate as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
After being whipped twice, the captain covered his head and turned around to run back, almost colliding with the oncoming cavalry...
Those horsemen rode up to the front, wanting to get close to Changsun Yan, but the nearby troops were in chaos and they couldn't get close. They could only shout from a distance: "We are ordered by General Yuwen to inform General Changsun that there are ten miles to the west."
The Tubo barbarian cavalry was discovered outside, and General Yuwen was afraid that the cavalry of the Youtun Guards would also penetrate the rear formation, so he had to withdraw his troops and form a formation. He specially ordered us to come and inform the general, asking him to quickly retreat and join forces."
These soldiers were originally ordered by Yu Wenlong to let Changsun Yan retreat quietly to join them. Since the task of "sending people's heads" has been basically completed, there is no need to continue to let Changsun Yan follow the army and take risks.
But when these words were shouted out in front of everyone, not only Changsun Yan was confused, but the leaders of the surrounding private armies were also in an uproar.
"What? The Tubo Huqi have cut off our retreat?"
"The Youtun Guards in front is impenetrable. We have already lost too many people. If the way back is cut off, wouldn't it be a turtle in the jar?"
"Mother! We are here fighting to the death, and this eldest grandson, Shiro, actually wants to escape secretly?"
"Mother Xute! Do you think I'm stupid? No fight, no fight, let's run away together!"
"It was too late and I was cut off from my escape. I regretted it too much!"
"Call the troops, withdraw!"
…
The leaders of the surrounding private armies were furious, roaring angrily for a while, then dispersed, rushed to their respective troops to assemble, and then retreated.
The position of tens of thousands of people instantly became a mess, with people shouting and horses trampling on each other, and there was no formation at all. Zhang Sunyan was shocked and angry, and did not bother to blame those few Yu Wenlong's soldiers, and said to the left and right: "Protect
Stay with me and retreat quickly!"
The soldiers on the left and right were well prepared. They immediately turned their horses and changed their formation. First, they protected Changsun Yan in the middle, and then more than ten riders rode in front to clear the way, trying to evacuate quickly. However, the surrounding private troops heard that the enemy troops were blocking the way back.
As for the retreat, Changsun Yan, as the commander-in-chief, also wanted to retreat. How could he think of attacking the Youtunwei position? He turned around and fled towards the rear, lest he ran too slowly and would be attacked and massacred by the Youtunwei and the Tubo horsemen.
When military orders were ineffective and order was lost, tens of thousands of people were like tens of thousands of pigs charging wildly in the wild. For a time, they were in chaos, unable to distinguish between things, and formed a chaotic mess.
Changsun Yan and his party were trapped by the rebel army and could not move even an inch. Their eyes were red with anxiety, and they heard someone behind them shouting: "The right guard has left the position and is coming to kill!"
Panic spread rapidly, and the private armies of the powerful families were completely defeated.
Changsun Yan realized that something was wrong and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Kill out!"
At this time, no one cared about the general of the army or the children of the aristocratic family. The rebels were retreating towards the rear, but the order was chaotic and there was no command. They were chaotic and confused, and they were crowding and trampling each other. How could they get out? They had no choice but to kill them.
After receiving the order, the soldiers drew out their swords one after another, rushed forward and slashed with their swords, killing the rebels in front of them until they cried for their fathers and mothers and hurriedly moved aside. But tens of thousands of people were crowded together in one place, rubbing shoulders with each other.
Heel, there is such a hustle and bustle, where can you get out of the way if you want to? Everyone is squeezing one by one, and one is bumping into another. Instead of being able to clear a passage, it is becoming more and more chaotic.
"Everyone, run quickly, the Youtun Guards are coming to kill you!"
There was a shout from the front, and Zhang Sunyan looked back in shock on his horse. He saw that in the direction of the Youtun Guards position by the Yong'an Canal, thousands of Youtun Guard soldiers had dispersed in formation, and the black pressure was like a mountain, pressing towards this side.
The infantry were in front, and the crossbowmen and musketeers were scattered on both sides. They marched slowly but firmly, chasing the tail of the defeated army.
Changsun Yan's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. Could it be that he was going to die here today?
With his eyes red and frantic, he drew out his horizontal sword and shouted: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!" He rode into the soldiers blocking his retreat and slashed wildly, trying to carve out a bloody path and escape.
A thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded from the darkness. The private soldiers in the chaotic retreat looked in shock and saw a cavalry suddenly charging out of the darkness to the west. The mane of the war horse was flying, and the soldiers on the horse were waving their hidden weapons.
The knife, shouting strange words, was killing like lightning.
"Tubo Huqi! It's Tubo Huqi!"
"Mom! Run!"
"You're running! Can a human leg outrun a horse's leg? Surrender quickly!"
Crash... Countless soldiers made a quick decision and threw their weapons to the ground. Then they squatted on the ground and held their heads in their hands, shouting: "Don't kill me, I surrender!"
