78, Long Ge Rulin Oblique Array (End)
The Han family is finished!
Li Pian left this sentence with a grim smile, turned around, and ordered the soldiers on the right wing to retreat quickly. Then he ignored the Ganling army pursuing Yan Feng, and Tian Le's soldiers who were killing the Zhao family infantry, took their troops and horses from the battlefield and quickly retreated to the rear.
From the Yan family and the Zhao family defected to Li Pian leading his army to the battlefield, these were all things that happened quickly in a short period of time, but the impact of the two cannot be compared.
If the defection of the Yan family and Zhao family only caused the spirit of the right-wing families to shake the spirit of the army, then Li Pian's order to withdraw the troops would lead to the defeat of the right-wing soldiers and horses.
When the soldiers on the battlefield saw Li Pian turning around and leaving the battlefield with most of the right-wing soldiers, the entire Han Sui army was completely in chaos!
···
"I saw Mount Tai collapse in front of me!"
When Pei Wan, who was guarding the central army Yan Xing, saw that Han Sui's army was quickly defeated after the left-wing troops were broken through, and even his own troops could not be chased, he couldn't help but sigh and murmured.
"Wen Hegong's plan to attack the heart has worked."
As a member of the pre-war planning, Zhao Hong also changed his previous skepticism about Jia Xu at this time and sincerely praised Jia Xu's insight into the hearts of the enemy's various units.
Of course, this also implies the contribution of his lobbying Li Pian.
Yan Xing also witnessed the entire process of the collapse of Han Sui's army. He also lamented the complexity and change of people's hearts. Before the war, Jia Xu's attack on Han Sui's troops did not seem to have any obvious effect. The momentum of Han Sui's army was still coming in full force and he pressed forward.
However, with the change of the battle situation and the assault of the surprise troops, this attacking strategy instantly exerted great power. From the collapse of the left wing to the escape of the right wing, this series of chain effects was dazzling and the earth-shaking battle situation was reversed, destroying Han Sui's army almost in an instant.
When two armies fight, what is fighting is the heart of the people; what is guarding is also the heart of the people.
Yan Xing, who had to tighten his nerves before and kept his full strength in maintaining his front line, also relaxed a little at this moment. Although his close clothes were wet with sweat, he still smiled comfortably unconsciously.
"Han Sui's army was defeated on its entire line. Wen Yuan in the city should chase and conquer the north at this time and seize the camp of Han Sui's army."
···
"Lord, the situation is over. Please abandon the car and get on the horse quickly. While the enemy has not yet surrounded us, we will escort you out!"
Cheng Gongying, who was scarlet on his armor, fled back with his remaining soldiers and horses. There were too many Hedong soldiers and horses that broke through the left wing. The three thousand soldiers and horses brought by Cheng Gongying were like a mantis chariot, which was of no use to recover the defeat. In an instant, it was submerged in the craze of the attack on Hedong soldiers and horses.
Cheng Gongying was hit by the trap and fell off his horse. He was rescued by his personal soldiers in the chaos.
Before he rushed back, all the right-wing troops were defeated, and most of the troops were wrapped up by Li Pian and left the battlefield, abandoning Han Suizhong's army, who was still fighting bloody on the battlefield.
Tian Le, who also could not save the right wing defeat, also abandoned the fleeing Zhao family troops and rushed back to the central army in a hurry.
Han Chang, who was the first to flee, had already fled back. At this time, he was standing on the side of the chariot commanding Han Sui's battle, lowering his head, and not daring to breathe.
Han Sui, who couldn't believe that he would be defeated so quickly, looked at the battlefield with a slow look. From the left wing to the right wing, countless of his own troops were desperately fleeing, and behind them were the Hedong soldiers and horses who were pursuing bravely.
The Qiang and Hu tribes on the left fled in scattered areas, like a splash of water. After being wrapped in chaos, they shattered into countless strands of defeated soldiers, trampling on each other, and their bodies were in a mess, and they fled desperately to the rear.
The members of the right wing families were relatively orderly. As Li Pian ordered and took the lead in leading the troops to withdraw from the battlefield, other families also followed Li Pian and retreated to the rear.
Their troops are mostly composed of soldiers from the clan, and they will not easily abandon their troops even when retreating. In addition, Li Pian's retreat direction is clear and his command is effective. He has always maintained the system and retreated backwards. The Hedong Army that pursued them could not quickly defeat them. Compared with the Qiang and Hu tribes that trampled on each other, it was a different place.
Now, the situation of the Central Army, which lost both wings and was as if two arms were cut off, was becoming increasingly difficult. The withdrawn Central Army soldiers and horses soon fought against the Hedong Army who broke through the left wing. However, their strength was exhausted, and the Central Army could only resist but could not repel Duan Wei. More Hedong cavalry continued to circle around and prepared to issue a fatal impact on Han Sui's Central Army from behind.
As for Yang Kui, the Qianjiu led by Jiang Shi, just like the Han family's unretractable army, he was completely trapped in the siege of Hedong soldiers and horses. His life and death were unknown, and all connections were cut off.
Han Sui looked around at everything on the battlefield, especially when he saw the flag slowly retreating from Li Pianjun's formation, his chest felt cramped, and he couldn't help it in his throat, and bright red blood still spilled out of his mouth.
This scene is very similar to the battle between Chen Cang back then.
Back then, I was in the right-wing army formation that was slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, and swung Fang Qiu to repel the pursuit of the Han soldiers in a row.
Li Pian was a shocked and uneasy young military officer. While blindly following Han Sui's flags and retreating, he looked worriedly at the direction of the central army and left-wing troops who were still trapped in the battlefield.
There was the nominal commander of the coalition forces struggling to support them, and there were his own sworn brothers fighting alone.
After that battle, all the pride and extraordinaryness of the past were thrown to Chen Cang along with the piles of corpses.
So Li Pian, who was so prosperous that he shared life and death, also died on the battlefield of Chen Cang. Only the people's hearts were in danger. Li Pian, who was operating step by step, survived and ascended to a high position step by step, becoming the "Han Sui" who now abandoned the commander and protected the car and led his army out of the battlefield in advance.
Seeing Han Sui's face as gold paper and vomiting blood, Cheng Gongying, Tian Le and others hurriedly helped Han Sui off the chariot, worked together to carry the war horse, and then gave up the troops that were still trapped in the siege of the Hedong Army, and hurriedly turned around and fled backward with the remaining troops.
···
After a great battle, the remaining limbs and arms were broken, the corpse was in a mess, and the captured weapons, weapons, and golden drums and flags were piled up like mountains.
From early morning to afternoon, the setting sun shone on the gradually quiet battlefield, drawing a layer of sad and hazy golden light for it. The people who cleaned the battlefield in Hedong walked on this battlefield. Looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies entangled with each other, there was no cheering and ecstasy, and it was deserted.
The crows also followed the golden light and landed on this battlefield that stretched for several miles, ups and downs, searching for them.
This is the battlefield of the battle. The battle has ended, and the battlefield of chasing the Death and the North is still spreading continuously. From here to Meiyang, to Chencang, and finally to Fengxian, it is the battlefield of chasing the Death and the North.
As the battle on the battlefield came to an end, the achievements of each unit gathered at Yan Xing's hands:
Dian Wei's army killed the enemy general Jiang Shi, and Yang Kui led more than a thousand people to surrender.
Yan Xing's army defeated the enemy's formation, killed thousands of prisoners, and captured Han Suizhong's flags.
Duan Wei's troops captured twelve Qiang and Hu masters, as well as more than 5,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers.
Yang Feng's army intercepted and killed the fleeing Han Suizhong's army and captured thousands of troops.
Bao, under his command, killed Tian Le, and Pang De shot Han Chang.
The Ganling Army pursued Li Pian's troops and captured more than a thousand people.
Zhang Liao and his troops pursued the defeated army and captured Han Sui's army camp.
······
The captives have been taken into custody, and the number of beheadings of each division needs to be subsequently inspected, counted, allocated, and seized countless soldiers, armor, weapons, and livestock. The number of casualties on our side reported several thousand in the battle, and with the subsequent casualties, it is expected that no more than ten thousand will be exceeded.
This was a big victory. The only regret is that Han Sui himself broke out of the encirclement before the army surrounded him and did not return to the direction of the camp. Yang Feng's detoured cavalry only intercepted and killed most of the Han family's troops, so some of the Han family members successfully escaped from the battlefield.
This is a common phenomenon on the battlefield. Although Han Sui was not captured, it could not stop the warm atmosphere of the civil and military officials under Yan Xing's command from celebrating him.
After this battle, the land of the Three Guards completely fell into Yan Xing's hands. Han Sui, the largest force in Longyou, was seriously injured and could no longer pose a threat to the Three Guards in the west. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
And Yan Xing, who owns the Kingdom of Heavenly Prefecture, can do more things next.
Amid the celebration, there was only one person who was independent and out of place. That was Ma Chao, who was left under Yan Xing as a general, was regarded as a general of the Central Army, but had no military power.
In the Huaili battle, Ma Chao, who was arrogant and brave, became a spectator throughout the whole process. Even Pang De, who was just a captain in Ma Teng's army, was able to lead troops to fight. First, he defeated the Qiang and Hu warriors who challenged in front of the formation, and then shot Han Chang out of the formation, making a series of great military achievements. However, Ma Mengqi could only stay here and mingle with these flattering mediocre people. Looking at their servile face, it was really disgusting.
But Ma Chao looked down on others, and others looked down on Ma Chao, who was arrogant as a proton.
So when Ma Chao heard Han Sui escape, he was shocked. He claimed that he was useless in a hero and shouted loudly, "Chao was willing to drive a thousand Western Liang cavalry to the west, block Longguan, intercept Han Sui, and offer his head in front of the general's command", but what he received was the ridiculous and contemptuous look of others around him.
Ma Chao ignored these people and looked directly at Yan Xing.
If Han Sui is defeated and leaves, he will definitely walk on Longguan Road. If a light cavalry drives straight in and rushes forward before the defeated army, he will definitely be able to intercept Han Sui.
