Zhao Yun's formation killed Wen Chou, which was the last straw for the Euphorbia soldiers. In the confrontation with Yuanyang's army, nearly half of the Euphorbia soldiers were injured, and they were defeated like a mountain...
And at this moment, finally... Yiyang Qingqi played its role as a reaper that Qingqi should play!
The pursuit all the way not only further increased the casualties of the Euphorbia soldiers, but also drove the Euphorbia soldiers towards Huang Qi's army behind.
The army led by Huang Yi was the remnant of Nanyang left by Yuan Shu. At this time, behind, the Euphorbia soldiers retreated "inexplicably" and shouted angrily: "Encircle the formation, surround the formation!"
After shouting, no one paid attention to him. He realized that there was no place to go around in this terrain, so he changed his words and said: "Fight forward in parallel!" If he wanted the Euphorbia soldiers to be able to advance in front of his infantry phalanx,
Rearrange as forward.
However, no one paid attention to him, and they all rushed back. Huang Yi couldn't help but said angrily: "Yi! What are your people doing!"
"They need to be repaired. Let's clear the formation first to let them in! With the elites of the Euphorbia warriors, they will find gaps to get in after the formation is cleared, and they will not attack the army formation!" Yi said quickly.
Huang Yi glanced at Yi strangely at this time, was silent for a moment and then said: "Do you think my soldiers can disperse the formation neatly and quickly and then recover?"
It is a pity that the army that Yuan Shu once raised in Nanyang was from his family and could be said to be well-trained and well-equipped, but...now, both military discipline and training have been neglected for a long time, and they have been turned into useless people. In addition, the current generals are also
It can be said that Taicai is getting further and further away from the word "elite".
righteous:……
"If you can't stop, you can only block it all together!"
At this time, under Huang Yi's urging, the Nanyang army raised the round shield on its arm, trying to block the Euphorbia soldiers from the formation...
Yi was almost furious, but he could only stomp his feet when he saw the Euphorbia soldiers defeated and Wen Chou was beheaded. Huang Yi also lost the respect he had for him before.
The Euphorbia warriors are worthy of being elites. Most of them did not collide with the friendly forces, but wanted to return and fight. Unfortunately...the lineup was in chaos, and there were Nanyang troops around them who were adding to the chaos!
They were scattered by Yiyang Qingqi, and then the infantry followed up to cover them up...
The decisive battle in the pass is different from the ordinary battle formation on the plains. Normally, in a close encounter, even if it is an elite veteran, 30% of the casualties will cause the formation to collapse. Under-trained recruits will have even worse endurance.
However, in the terrain of the pass, the defeated formation can only collapse backwards, which can easily trigger a chain reaction. Therefore, in the decisive battle of the pass, the situation will be very "special".
In the initial battle, even if the army in front is defeated, it will be unable to retreat because of the blockage of the army behind.
However, once the disadvantaged party collapses without stopping, it will instantly trigger an avalanche-style chain collapse. This is equivalent to the initial impact on morale because there is no place to escape. However, once it exceeds a certain critical point, it will completely collapse.
Encourage the rear army to run together!
This is how the Nanyang Army is now...
Starting from the collapse of the Euphorbia, the entire front collapsed uncontrollably.
After a chaotic battle, the Nanyang army was kicked back to Mingsai.
When the Yiyang Qingqi's momentum had been exhausted due to huge casualties on their own side and the opponent's infantry had not yet followed up, Yi Zai wanted to organize a counterattack to contain the situation. Unexpectedly... Huang Yi's commander,
It was already empty, and they had already withdrawn with their personal guards and rear troops from the very beginning!
The former army, which lacked command, gave the Northern Route Army almost nothing for military merit and prisoners...
Yi had no other choice but to scold "Li Zi is not enough to make a plan", so he had to hurriedly organize the remaining Euphorbia warriors and retreat.
Fortunately... no matter how miserable the Euphorbia soldiers are, they can still run faster than their friendly troops!
With friendly forces as a buffer "meat pad", the entire army was not wiped out.
…
After the war, both sides counted their casualties and collected their bodies.
Of the eight hundred Euphorbia warriors, only two hundred remained after the first battle, which can be said to be the largest casualty since its founding.
Nearly half of the 12,000 Nanyang troops at the fortress suffered casualties. The terrain of the pass further expanded the proportion of casualties among the losers, and the remaining half were either the old and weak who stayed behind or the "winners of the race", so one can imagine their morale.
On the side of the General's Mansion, the ones with the most serious damage ratio were the "Yuanyang Army" who were the biggest contributors to this battle.
Even if it is a great victory, after all, the opponent is a real general. The 1,800 Yuanyang army suffered a loss of more than 300, but the loss of generals was only 30. After all, under the Yuanyang formation, the generals in command positions are all in small formations.
the very back.
Yiyang Qingqi injured more than a hundred riders, most of whom were killed by the Euphorbia warriors who came back to their senses and took the initiative to cut off their rear.
As for the ordinary infantry, more than 600 were lost, which was more than the Yuanyang Army in number. However... there were tens of thousands of ordinary infantry as the main force, and there were three or four thousand who went into battle. There was nothing they could do. The terrain was narrow, and everyone behind them was lining up.
!
After this defeat, the Nanyang Army could only defend the low Ming Fortress, and the morale in the fortress was low...
"General, the enemy is weak at this time. If this mutiny is a plan of the enemy, there is a risk of collapse. If the enemy really does not attack, it will cause chaos. Tomorrow, as long as Chu Ge joins forces, the fortress will be broken without attack.
General, why don't you watch the fire from the other side?" Jia Xu advised.
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and then said: "That's fine, send someone to watch in front of the fortress. If you encounter the enemy's deserters, take them back first."
Jia Xu was also very conservative. In fact, it was not a bad idea to attack by force at this time. Jia Xu did not think that anyone in the fortress would use such a dangerous strategy to lure his side to attack.
It's just that the characteristic of Jia Xu's military use is neither conservative nor radical, but "clear goals"!
Killing more enemies and less of his own people is just a "trivial matter" in his mind, and his desire for military success is very low.
Since the most important thing is to conquer the Dark Fortress, if the opponent's military morale is really in chaos, they can induce a surrender tomorrow. Even if the inducement fails, it will not be able to stop our army's attack. Why bother to follow the opponent's rhythm and risk a night attack?
Unless he can see the key winner, Jia Xu will not fight an uncertain battle...
Just like in Wancheng, after assisting Zhang Xiu to trick Cao Cao, Jia Xu's advice to Cao Cao, who did not care about his son and fled, was still "Don't chase the poor enemy." It was not that he really expected that Cao Cao would have a back-up plan.
, but...the goal has been achieved, why take the risk?
Not being greedy for cheap can be said to be a characteristic of Jia Xu’s military use... /p
