The casualties were increasing, but the Pingyuan Army's offensive became more and more fierce. The soldiers stepped on the mountains of corpses of their comrades and rushed to the wall of the village. They fought with the Ning Army, cutting off their weapons and beating them with fists and feet.
The Pingyuan army, which had broken teeth and was more ferocious than wild beasts, frightened the Ning army and retreated steadily. Soon, all the Ning army on the wall were beaten down and retreated into the camp.
Upon seeing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly organized his troops to launch a counterattack, and issued a death order to retake the wall and drive the Feng army out no matter what.
In the face of Wei Zheng's stern military orders, the Ning army regrouped and began to launch a counterattack against the wall.
It is easy for the Ning army to retreat, but it is difficult to attack back.
The Pingyuan Army occupied the wall of the village, commanding a commanding position, and dealt a head-on blow to the Ning Army's counterattack.
The counter-charging Ning Army stormed three times, only to be repulsed by the Pingyuan Army. They fought until the end. The red-eyed Pingyuan Army counterattacked and started a head-on confrontation with the opponent in the Ning camp.
Without the geographical advantage, the Ning Army could not stop the Pingyuan Army from rushing down the mountain like tigers. The soldiers in front fell down row after row, and the entire camp was continuously pushed back.
The more the Ning army fought, the more chaotic it became, but the more the Feng army fought, the more courageous they became. The soldiers rushing in front were covered in blood, and it was hard to tell whether it was their own or the enemy's. Many of them even had steel swords, spears, and arrows stuck in their bodies, and their physical strength had long since disappeared.
Overdrawn, his life has reached its limit, but he can't stand still with his willpower, and continues to fight, chasing and slashing the enemies in front.
Such an army would not only be feared by the Ning army, but also the army of any country would tremble with fear.
Seeing his own soldiers being killed by the Pingyuan Army, they cried for their fathers and cried for their mothers. The army was completely defeated. Wei Zheng urgently sent out a war supervising army to shoot all his own soldiers who retreated.
In the passive state, Wei Zheng's iron bowl military method played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. The officers and soldiers of the Ning Army were afraid of the Feng Army, but they were even more afraid of the supervising army behind them. To advance is to die, to retreat is to die, and to the left and right, people will naturally choose to die.
Vigorous, rather than cowardly.
With the appearance of the war supervisors and their killing spree, Ning Jun, who was about to go crazy with fear, completely fell into a state of madness and launched a ferocious counterattack against Feng Jun.
The Ning Army's counterattack caught the Pingyuan Army somewhat off guard, and the soldiers who entered the Ning camp were forcefully pushed back to the wall.
Then, regardless of the danger, Xiao Muqing personally climbed onto the wall of the village and commanded the entire army to fight. The Pingyuan Army immediately launched a second round of suppression and stormed into the interior of Ning Camp.
The battle has now completely turned into a head-to-head confrontation. There is no taking advantage of the situation and it is all based on the true strength of each side.
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides fell down row after row. You died a thousand, I died eight hundred. The corpses on the ground were covered layer by layer, and the blood had dyed the Ning Army camp blood red.
Now, every step the Feng Army took was extremely difficult, as they had to step on the corpses of countless companions and enemies. When the battle between the two sides became stalemate, Xiao Muqing once again used his own death squads.
This group of Plains Army officers and soldiers was not large in number, only two thousand. They were all lightly dressed and shirtless. They carried a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. They passed through the crowd of our own soldiers and plunged into the Ning army's camp.
Two thousand death squads rushed into the Ning army, like tigers among wolves, slashing and killing everyone they met. In the blink of an eye, two thousand people turned into red men, their bodies stained red by the constant spray of blood.
Under their brutal, crazy, and lifeless attack, the originally neat Ning Army camp was thrown into chaos. As a last resort, the Ning Army could only concentrate its forces to deal with the Pingyuan Army death squads who were rushing towards them first. In this way, the overall formation became even more chaotic.
.
Two thousand people, surrounded by more than 100,000 people, did not hold out for long. In the end, they all died under the chaotic blades of Ning Jun. But with their containment, Feng Jun defeated Ning Jun's camp by more than 30 people.
meters away to gain enough space for the soldiers behind us to enter.
Wei Zheng, who was supervising the battle, was sweating. He couldn't understand why the Pingyuan Army was so powerful. He even couldn't help but wonder whether the soldiers who formed the Pingyuan Army were still human. If someone stood at this time,
If you come out and say that the Pingyuan Army is a group of devils and monsters, he will definitely support it with both hands.
Although the opponent has tens of thousands of people left, and his own side still has more than 100,000, looking at the situation on the battlefield, he can still judge that his side's defeat is certain. There is no other way, he can only destroy the Ning army in other parts of the camp.
They all mobilized and worked together to stop the Pingyuan Army's charge.
As another 50,000 Ning troops arrived, their total strength reached 200,000. However, even so, the Ning troops did not gain the upper hand and were only on par with the Pingyuan Army in a short period of time.
When Wei Zheng was thinking hard about defeating the enemy, spies suddenly came to report that there were two wind troops in the north and west of the camp. The number was unknown and they were charging towards his camp at full speed.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng's head buzzed and he almost fell to the ground on the spot. The South Camp, North Camp and West Camp where he had just gathered the soldiers from all over the camp were attacked by the Feng Army again. This happened out of nowhere.
Feng Jun, what should I do with this?
Now Wei Zheng has completely lost his idea. It's not that he is incompetent or that his command is improper, but that the Pingyuan Army's battle is too fierce. Not one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Ning's army can handle it.
There was no time to think too much, and the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers depended on his thoughts. Wei Zheng made a judgment in the shortest time that this battle could no longer be fought.
If the camp broke through, his entire army would be wiped out. He made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to retreat and return to the inner camp.
The main camp of the Ning Army is divided into an inner camp and an outer camp. The area of the inner camp is not large. If the 200,000 Ning Army wants to retreat into the inner camp, even the tents inside must be demolished to make room. Of course, Wei Zheng has no plans
If you stick to the inner camp, you should abandon the camp and flee. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as everyone is not dead, you will have a chance to fight back.
Under Wei Zheng's mobilization, the Ning army retreated to the inner camp in batches. Two hundred thousand people were crowded into the small inner camp. They were crowded together and it was difficult to find a gap in the middle. Wei Zheng
Without pausing for a moment, he immediately issued another order, and the whole army boarded the warships and sailed southward along the Zhanghe River to escape the attack range of the Feng army first.
On land, the Ning army could not defeat the Feng army, nor could it outrun the Feng army, but on the water Wei Zheng was very confident. If the Feng army did not pursue them, that would be fine. If they dared to pursue them, they would never come back.
The boarding of 200,000 people could not be completed in a short period of time. The 50,000 Ning troops guarded the walls of the inner camp and gave their companions as much time as possible to evacuate.
However, the Pingyuan Army that rushed into the Ning Army's camp quickly found large offensive weapons in the camp - city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows, trebuchets, etc.
The Pingyuan Army gathered all the weapons that had just been used against themselves in one place, and used them in turn to attack the inner camp of the Ning Army.
The walls of the camp are not as strong as the city walls. How can they withstand the attacks of city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows and trebuchets.
The crossbow arrows pierced the wall of the village, killing and injuring the Ning army behind, while the trebuchet directly threw huge rocks into the inner camp, hitting the Ning army inside.
There were too many Ning troops and they were crowded together. They saw huge rocks falling from above their heads, but they were unable to dodge. For a while, screams and cries were heard in the inner camp. Ning soldiers who were smashed into pulp could be seen everywhere.
.
Xiao Muqing didn't know what was going on in the inner camp, but after hearing the movements inside, he could guess that someone was inseparable. At this time, he no longer ordered the soldiers to attack the inner camp and increase his own casualties, but
The officers and men of the army were ordered to fire arrows into the inner camp. The city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows, and trebuchets were not to be stopped. Shoot as many crossbow arrows as there were, and throw as many stones as there were.
This order of his was very painful for the Ning army who retreated into the inner camp. The Ning army who was able to get on the boat first was lucky. Those who were not able to get on the boat in the future were like being in hell. The crossbows and boulders that Wei Zheng left for the Pingyuan army
There were too many to use up. Under the continuous impact of crossbow arrows, the wall of the village had become riddled with holes. Countless Ning soldiers behind were nailed and wounded. The arrow rain from the Pingyuan Army came one after another.
The wheel fell into the inner camp, and the crisp sound of the arrow piercing the helmet and armor was endless. The most terrible thing was the huge boulder thrown in by the trebuchet.
The soldiers and their shields were shattered into pieces under the weight of the boulders.
Looking at the entire battle, Wei Zheng's only appropriate command may have been his hasty retreat to the inner camp. This just confirmed the correctness of Xiao Muqing's combat policy. He used tenacious combat effectiveness and strong willpower to oppress his opponent. The opponent took the initiative.
Make mistakes.
The number of casualties suffered by the Ning Army during the retreat was much higher than during the head-on confrontation with the Feng Army. When the Ning Army escaped from the camp in a warship, looking at the inner camp, corpses were everywhere, piled up into mountains, and blood pooled and flowed to the river bank.
, dyeing the banks of Zhanghe River red for miles...
This battle ended with the evacuation of more than 100,000 defeated soldiers led by Wei Zheng. If we only count the casualties of both sides, we cannot tell who is the winner. The casualties of the Pingyuan Army in this battle exceeded 50,000, while the casualties of the Ning Army were also less than 50,000.
From the above, it seems that the losses of both sides are about the same. However, the Pingyuan Army successfully captured the Hexi camp and opened the eastern gateway of Ningguo in one fell swoop. From Hexi County to the west to Ningdu Liangzhou, Ningguo had no danger to defend. This strategic value
It's immeasurable.
Wei Zheng fled south by boat, but only ten miles away, he happened to encounter the direct army that had crossed the Zhang River. At this time, Tang Yin had received the battle report from the front from Tianyan and Diwang, and knew that Wei Zheng had escaped without being defeated.
With the enemy under his nose, how could Tang Yin miss the opportunity to beat him up?
He ordered his own soldiers to escort the prisoners of the Ning army and park all the captured Ning warships in the middle of the river to intercept Wei Zheng's group. Of course, their dozen or so dilapidated warships were not as good as intercepting hundreds of Wei Zheng's warships.
Possibly, Tang Yin's intention was very simple, to disgust Wei Zheng.
