Chapter 72: The army is defeated like a mountain
The war lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the disadvantages that Liu Xie foreseen began to appear. Updates are fast and ad-free.
Although the number of people on both sides is not much different, although Zhang Xun could control the first step of Liang Gang's one-step team, in fact, the two sides are different subordinates, and Zhang Xun could not even call the names of many of his generals. How to command it?
Zhang Xun's headquarters is not bad. Even if the imperial army is coming in a fierce battle, it is not so simple to decide the outcome in such a battle of tens of thousands of people. Although Han De and Wei Xu are brave in fighting, they are not Lu Bu after all. The soul figures like Zhao Yun who can influence a battle situation are very small in this tide-like battlefield, so small that everyone is like an ant. Even generals like Han De and Wei Xu can only be considered an ant at this time.
This is the difference between a battle of ten thousand people and a battle of ten thousand people. A battle of a thousand people is a battle, and more than ten thousand people can be called a battle.
However, the troops of Liang Gang's troops began to fall into chaos shortly after the battle. Some wanted to rush, but some retreated, and some looked around in a daze and didn't know where to follow. Soon they became in chaos. Not only could they not provide any help to Zhang Xun, but they had a large degree of negative effects on Zhang Xun's troops.
Riots will be transmitted like plague on the battlefield. The soldiers who have begun to retreat will start to cause an avalanche effect when the battle is not smooth. Although it is not obvious, it has begun to affect the mentality of Zhang Xun's troops. If this riot continues, it will soon spread to the entire army.
If it cannot be curbed, it will soon evolve into a city retreat, and the retreat will then become a defeat. Next, the unilateral massacre of the court.
In this case, a qualified commander begins to exert his power.
"The supervisor team will fight, and anyone who retreats in the face will be killed without mercy!" Looking at the formation that began to be chaotic inside him, Zhang Xun's face was as deep as water. He could not effectively command Liang Gang's troops, but it was still possible to let them attack.
Zhang Xun's timely action saved the Nanyang army. After the attack of the supervisor team and killing hundreds of soldiers who wanted to retreat in succession, the riot was finally gradually stopped.
"This Zhang Xun is quite capable." Seeing the other party's riots stop, and the army that had no subordinates for the time being began to play some role, Liu Xie nodded in a slight way.
If you only talk about martial arts, Zhang Xun can't rank, but his ability to control the battle situation in front of the battle can still be rank.
But that's all.
"It's time for Zhao Yun to enter the field!" Seeing the two sides gradually getting entangled, Liu Xie said indifferently.
To cause the second round of chaos, Zhang Xun's main unit must be severely damaged. At that time, it was the beginning of the second round of chaos in Liang Gang's unit. By then, even if Zhang Xun had the ability, it would be difficult to turn the tide.
But as the saying goes, hurting one thousand enemies, and hurting eight hundred themselves, Liu Xie does not need to worry about defeating his opponent head-on at this time. If you want to train your commander, the dream battlefield is enough, and there is no need to use your own army to do such things.
Zhang Xun's defeat was already a foregone conclusion after he crossed Juancheng, and there was no need for Liu Xie to increase unnecessary losses due to this.
"Here!"
Behind him, several soldiers who had already prepared quickly lit the bonfire and then kept filling it with seasonings. In a short while, a thick pillar of smoke rose into the sky.
Looking at the wolf smoke rising into the sky, Zhang Xun suddenly felt a bad premonition in Yuan Jun's formation, and this premonition quickly turned into reality.
"Kill~"
There were loud shouts of killing, but this time it started to sound from the rear.
Zhang Xun looked back suddenly and saw a large army coming out from behind. Although they were far away, looking at the galloping momentum and smoke, the opponent's troops were definitely not more than 10,000.
"Li Yan!" A cold light flashed in Zhang Xun's eyes.
At this time, he didn't understand that he had been betrayed by Li Yan. The city of Juan had clearly surrendered to the enemy, and Wuyang might have been defeated long ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain where this army came from. Judging from the banner, it was clearly Zhao Yun's army. If Wuyang had not surrendered to the enemy, how could Zhao Yun have divided so many soldiers and horses to secretly hang in Juan City?
No matter how angry he is, he cannot turn the defeat around.
Zhang Xun's troops began to stir up again. This time, not only Liang Gang's troops, but even his troops emerged from behind with Zhao Yun's troops. Moreover, this commotion quickly turned into a collapse as Zhao Yun's troops approached.
The archers behind could no longer remain calm and began to look around in panic, while the timid had already begun to retreat.
Zhang Xun personally led the supervision team to gallop back and forth in the formation, constantly killing the soldiers who wanted to escape, trying to control the decline.
But his efforts were obviously futile. The first thing that was completely messed up was Liang Gang's army. A soldier in the supervision team had just killed a soldier who wanted to escape, but was suddenly killed by more than a dozen soldiers around him.
These soldiers who had lost their minds in panic had no choice but to care about military orders at this moment. They just want to survive now. In addition, Liang Gang's death before had already caused them to have a rift with the Nanyang Army. Now, with tigers in front and pursuers behind, the gap has been continuously expanded and expanded. Finally, as the supervisor team continued to kill their robes, the increasingly larger gap finally turned into anger and hatred, and began to launch a crazy attack on these supervisor teams that were blocking their survival.
Almost at the time of tea, half of the five hundred supervisors died at the hands of these chaotic troops who had lost their minds, and were instantly obscured, without even arousing a wave.
As Liang Gang's troops collapsed, fear began to spread rapidly to the entire army, and more people fell into chaos, and fewer and fewer soldiers could persist in their original positions.
Defeated like a mountain!
Zhang Xun gave up the futile killing. Looking at the army that had been completely chaotic after only a moment, he sighed in despair. He knew that he had lost, and he lost completely. This was a complete scam and a despicable betrayal. From the moment he passed the city, he had already been doomed. As for when Li Yan chose to betray, it was no longer important. Once he lost this battle, the entire Nanyang would fall into the hands of the court, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Yuan Shu's arms and he had no face to see Yuan Shu again.
He closed his eyes, threw away the weapon in his hand, pulled out the sword from his waist, and crossed his neck.
"General, no!" The guards around the generals and personal guards were shocked to see this, and hurried forward and snatched the weapons from Zhang Xun's hand.
"General, stay with the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood! Although our army is defeated now, there are still many troops in Nanyang. As long as we resist the city and guard, the lord will send reinforcements soon!" A side general grabbed Zhang Xun's hand and said anxiously: "If the general is here, it can delay for a while, but if the general leaves, Nanyang will all return to the court, what can we do if our reinforcements arrive?"
When Zhang Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated. He died all the time, but even if he died in battle, he could not let it go. With his understanding of Yuan Shu, it was already a blessing from the law to not make things difficult for his family. But even so, his family would not have any good days in Shouchun.
But at this moment, Zhao Yun's troops had already arrived, and there were almost all archers behind him. Facing the fierce imperial soldiers and horses, they had no resistance at all. With Zhao Yun's arrival, the troops in Nanyang had completely collapsed.
Over there, the imperial army has begun to shout the slogan of "surrender and not kill".
"General, go quickly." Several generals looked at Zhang Xun anxiously.
"Where to go?" Zhang Xun looked around in a daze. The area between Duyang and Ye County was located between the two mountains. It could be seen as a huge canyon with mountains on both sides, but the middle was quite spacious, with more than twenty miles wide. But now that it is attacked from front and back, how can there be any way to survive?
"General, why don't we escape into the mountains?" A general said in a deep voice: "The last one will have some friendship with the bandits entrenched in this area. We might as well hide in the mountains first, seek help from them, and offer money and official positions, or convince them to help us. Even if we can't, we can still use the way back to Nanyang."
As one of the three main battlefields of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, although Zhang Mancheng and others had been dead for almost ten years, many Yellow Turbans still survived that year.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the court, these people fled into the surrounding mountain tombs, gathered in the mountains and forests, and occupied the mountains as kings. Although one was an official and the other was a thief, sometimes, the collusion between officials and bandits was not new, especially in Nanyang, the generals were more or less connected with these bandits. Zhang Xun knew about these things, but most of them turned a blind eye.
After all, although these bandits do not have much combat power, it is quite troublesome to destroy them. However, Zhang Xun never dreamed that one day, he would fall to the point of seeking help from these bandits.
What his subordinates said makes sense. If he dies, he will be completely finished. He will not even have the chance to turn the tables. At this time, he has no intention of dying. Although Zhang Xun is unwilling, the situation is stronger than others. He nods at the moment, and leads his personal guards and a group of generals. He does not run around like a large army, but quickly leaves the battlefield and heads towards the nearest mountains.
As for ordinary soldiers, Zhang Xun could no longer care about so many people at this moment. As there were too many people, it would easily attract the attention of the court.
On the chaotic battlefield, although a large number of soldiers had begun to surrender, there were still many troops that were fighting stubbornly, and more were defeated troops running around. In addition, Zhang Xun and his group stopped. For a moment, Liu Xie did not find that Zhang Xun had begun to flee. After joining Zhao Yun's troops, Liu Xie began to pay attention to Zhang Xun's movements when he saw that the overall situation was settled. However, at this time, there was no figure of Zhang Xun?
