Chapter 280 The overall situation has been decided
Liang Qiuci roared angrily and stabbed Wang Chang. Wang Chang swung the knife outward, and the tip of the gun bounced away. He returned the knife and slashed Liang Qiuci's neck.
The two of them clashed together, and the two horses kept spinning on the battlefield.
The force given by Liangqiu was good, but Wang Chang was not in vain. In Nanjun, Wang Chang once led the Xiajiang Army and defeated the state army in one fell swoop. He himself was also a very good warrior.
When the two of them fought together, it could be said that they were matched against each other, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while. Chen Mu, who was watching the battle from behind, became more and more anxious. Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Chang and Liang Qiuci's horses were intertwined, Chen Mu silently shot a
Cold arrow.
The cold arrow flew straight to the back of Liang Qiuci's head. When Liang Qiuci heard the sound of breaking wind, he subconsciously lowered his body. Hearing a clang, the cold arrow nailed the top of his helmet and shot him directly.
Fall to the ground.
Liang Qiuci screamed in surprise, but before he could calm down, Wang Chang's saber had already slashed in front of him.
puff!
This knife hit him in the lower back. Liang Qiuci screamed and rolled off his horse. Wang Chang did not use the knife again, but frowned and glared at Chen Mu with dissatisfaction.
It was originally a duel, but Chen Mu's cold arrow turned him into a villain who stabbed others in the back!
There were so many Han soldiers below, but when they saw Liang Qiuci falling from his horse, the people rushed forward without hesitation, raised their spears, and stabbed Liang Qiuci one after another.
The muffled sound of popping could be heard constantly, and blood arrows were sprayed out from the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, Liang Qiuci was stabbed into a hornet's nest by the rebels.
A Han soldier drew his sword and slashed Liang Qiu Ci's neck. Then, he excitedly raised his severed head high and shouted loudly: "Liang Qiu Ci is dead! Liang Qiu Ci is dead -
"
When the surrounding soldiers heard the shouts, they were all panicked, but people still couldn't tell whether the shouts of the Han soldiers were true or false.
Wang Chang took a deep breath, picked up Liang Qiuci's severed head from the soldier's hand with his sword, and shouted in a loud voice: "Liang Qiu Ci is dead, why don't you just capture him without mercy?"
He was sitting on a horse, and the blade of his broadsword was long. Wang Chang raised Liang Qiuci's severed head so high that he could see it clearly even from a long distance.
All the Mang soldiers present saw it now. The severed head with wide eyes was Liang Qiuci or someone else?
Realizing that their general was dead, the nearby reckless troops stopped fighting in unison. Many people threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground, and began to cry.
The news of Liang Qiuci's murder quickly spread throughout the entire military camp, as if it had wings.
The reckless troops, who had no intention of fighting, were scattered in all directions and had no way to escape. Their psychological defenses completely collapsed, and the people had no intention of fighting. They surrendered to the Han army in droves.
The battle at Liangqiu's main camp lasted less than two hours. Except for the thousands of Rang soldiers who died in the battle, the remaining 10,000 soldiers all surrendered.
The battle here has come to an end.
Wang Chang and Chen Mu left part of the Han army to guard the surrendered Mang army. They led the rest of the Han army, turned the spearhead, and launched an attack on the Zhenfu army camp.
Liang Qiuci's troops were defeated and the general Liang Qiuci was killed. The news also spread to the Zhenfu army camp.
This news was nothing less than a wake-up call for the Mangjun in the Zhenfu Army Camp.
The troops given by Liangqiu were not too many, but they were still 20,000. In less than two hours, the camp was captured by the rebels and the entire army was wiped out. The combat effectiveness of the rebels was too terrifying.
The morale of the reckless army, which was already low, quickly collapsed after hearing the news that Liangqiu Ci's entire army had been annihilated.
The Mang army fighting in the front either collapsed backwards in groups, or surrendered to the Han army in groups. The Mang army's front line has shown a trend of total disintegration.
Zhen Fu was also shocked when he heard the news that Liang Qiuci had been killed and the entire 20,000-strong army was wiped out.
Zhen Fu, who was in the central military tent, stood up involuntarily, looked at the soldiers who came to report the news, and asked word by word: "Is what you said true?"
"Sir, it's absolutely true! The rebels who captured Master Liang's camp have now launched an attack on our camp!"
Zhen Fu stared blankly at the soldier. After a long while, he sat down on the collapse.
He and Liang Qiuci competed with each other and fought openly and secretly for so long. It stands to reason that he should be happy when he heard the news that Liang Qiuci was killed.
But now, there is no joy at all in Zhen Fu's heart, only sadness and fear. Sadness and fear that make the lips die and the teeth are cold!
"How is it possible? How is this possible? How could the rebels capture Liang Qiuci's camp so quickly? How could they kill Liang Qiuci so quickly?" Zhen Fu sat there with a look of disbelief on his face and his eyes.
Whispering dully.
Zhen Fu couldn't figure it out, and the generals below him couldn't figure it out either. At this moment, another soldier ran into the central army's tent and said urgently: "Report! Sir, the rebels have broken through the west camp and are heading towards the west camp."
The central camp is attacking!"
"Report!" Before the soldier finished speaking, another soldier ran into the account and said breathlessly: "Sir, the South Camp was attacked by the rebels. Now the defense of the South Camp has been breached by the rebels!"
Zhen Fu couldn't sit still anymore and pushed away several soldiers who reported the news. He walked out of the tent and went outside. When he looked up, he saw that this was still the camp he was familiar with. It had become a mess.
The reckless troops in the west camp and the reckless troops in the south camp are now fleeing towards the middle camp.
The Dongying Mangjun and Beiying Mangjun, who have not been attacked yet, are also gathering towards the Zhongying. Looking around, everywhere you look, there are people pushing, squeezing, and pushing each other.
, shouting and cursing, a mess.
When Zhen Fu saw this, he was also confused. Even though he did not know how to lead an army in a battle or command an army, he still knew that it was impossible to withstand the rebel attack when his own soldiers were in such confusion.
I don’t know whether Zhen Fu was so frightened that he forgot that the bridge on the Huangchun River had already been demolished under his order, or whether his memory suddenly went haywire. At this time, Zhen Fu issued an incredible order and the entire army retreated to the North Camp.
You must know that outside the North Camp of the Mang Army is the turbulent Huangchun River. They retreated towards the North Camp. The Mang Army retreated to a dead end and retreated to a dead end.
Zhen Fu was the commander-in-chief of the entire army. His general gave an order and the tens of thousands of reckless troops immediately began to retreat towards the northern camp.
Because there is Huangchunshui outside the North Camp, there is no need to deploy camp defenses, let alone heavy defense. Therefore, compared to the other three camps, the area of the North Camp is very small, and there is not even a wall for the camp.
After Zhen Fu retreated to the North Camp with tens of thousands of Mang troops, the small North Camp was suddenly filled with tens of thousands of Mang troops. Not to mention the formation of troops, tens of thousands of Mang troops could not even stand.
not open.
The Han army led by Liu Yan and Wang Kuang, and the Han army led by Wang Chang and Chen Mu, successfully joined forces at the middle camp of the Mang army camp.
Then, the Han troops on both sides merged and advanced towards the North Camp.
When the Han soldiers saw the situation in Beiying, they were dumbfounded. Outside Beiying was Huangchunshui without a bridge. So many reckless troops gathered in Beiying. Do they plan to escape or fight?
If they want to run, they have no way to run. If they want to fight, so many people are crowded into such a small place and can't even form a formation. How can they fight?
The four generals Liu Yan, Wang Kuang, Wang Chang, and Chen Mu, each riding a war horse, stood on a high ground, lined up, looking at the Beiying side.
Wang Kuang sneered and said: "It's really a raging army, and a den of raging generals! Without the assistance of Liang Qiuci and Cen Peng, Zhen Fu is just a fool, a fool!"
Chen Mu was also happy and sneered: "A hundred thousand troops are actually nothing!"
It is estimated that these two people have forgotten at this time that not long ago, they were chased by hundreds of thousands of reckless troops and fled in a panic.
Even though he knew victory was in sight, Wang Chang remained very calm. He turned to look at Liu Yan and said, "General, this is the last blow left!"
Liu Yan nodded, turned his head and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Following his words, a soldier ran forward and stepped in to salute.
"Beat the drum and cheer for our Han soldiers!"
"Yes!" the soldier agreed, turned around and ran away.
There was no need for them to carry their own war drums. The Han army soldiers moved the war drums from the Mang army camp nearby. The drummers rounded their arms and beat the war drums in unison.
Dong, Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong——
As the drums started beating, the Han soldiers who were already at the forefront of the northern camp shouted in unison: "Hoo——"
Immediately afterwards, the battle formation began to move forward.
Even though the Mang army was in a mess, the Han army here was not chaotic at all. In the Han army's battle formation, the front row was all heavy shield soldiers, and the huge shields formed a long row of steel walls.
Behind the shield soldiers were spear soldiers, halberd soldiers, spears, and halberds protruding from the top of the shield. At a glance, the Han army's battle formation looked like a huge steel hedgehog.
On the battlefield, one person's power is too limited. Even if he has unparalleled martial arts skills, even if he is as strong as Xiang Yu or Lu Bu, he will be insignificant in front of a huge army.
Legion operations require the whole army to be twisted into a rope. This is the importance of the battle formation. The meaning of the battle formation is equivalent to turning everyone in the army into a fist and then punching it out.
The confrontation between the two armies is equivalent to the collision of two fists. The battle is about who is stronger, who can persist more, and who can consume more.
At this time, the Han army had already clenched its fists, while the Mang army on the opposite side was still crowded into a ball, like a pile of loose sand.
Before the battle even started, the strength of the highlands on both sides was already clear. Amidst the sound of drums, the Han army's battle formation advanced to the front of the Mang army.
Boom, boom, boom! The shield hit the people, making a crisp sound; puff, puff, puff! The spears and halberds pierced the people's bodies, making a muffled sound.
What followed was a series of screams.
A row of reckless soldiers outside were stabbed to the ground. Some were killed on the spot, and some were only injured, but there was no chance for them to get up.
The advancing Han army's battle formation was like a huge meat grinder, crushing over the wounded.
Unable to resist! In front of the Han army's battle formation, the reckless army, which had no formation at all, could not withstand such an advance no matter how many troops it had.
Row after row, the crowd of reckless soldiers were crushed by the Han army's battle formation, and they heard heart-piercing screams, as if an invisible big hand was tearing apart every reckless soldier on the battlefield.
The reckless army was unable to fight and could only retreat. However, Beiying was such a big place, so there was no extra space for them to retreat and escape.
The reckless soldiers who ran to the North Camp first thought that they had taken advantage of it and could hide behind it. However, they never expected that they would become the first to die.
