"General, look, there's a fire at the back!"
On the shallow river, Lu Xiang was driving his troops into the water, chasing the defeated troops of the Bohai Navy who were also wading through the water. Unexpectedly, he heard a guard next to him shout in surprise, Lu Xiang. Xiang couldn't help but panic. He quickly reined in his horse and looked back. He saw that the fire in the reed swamp was frighteningly strong.
"The thieves have fallen into a trap. Come with me, sons and daughters, and kill them back!"
Before Lu Xiang could wake up from the shock, Shen Fei also noticed the fire rising from behind. He immediately cheered up and led his troops to turn around and charge towards Lu Xiang's troops who were in great confusion. .
"Go down the river, retreat, retreat quickly!"
There are more than 7,000 troops in Lu Xiang's front army, which is actually more than 1,000 more soldiers and horses than Shen and Zhao who have been driven away to herd sheep. The problem is that the morale of the army is now in chaos. Where can Lu Xiang go? If he dared to stay in such a dangerous place for a long time, he hurriedly twisted the horse's head and fled downstream with the current.
"We have all the cavalry, come with me and chase!"
Seeing that Lu Xiang was about to escape, Zhao Yun was naturally unwilling to give up. With a loud shout, he led nearly a thousand cavalry and charged fiercely. He quickly dispersed the Yizhou infantry who were wading away in panic and quickly stepped into the water. He killed Lu Xiang.
"thump!"
If a person is unlucky, his teeth will be choked when he drinks water. No, Lu Xiang was so busy running away that he didn't even pay attention to his feet. As a result, the horse under him accidentally stepped on it. He landed on a big stone sunk in the mud. With just one bump, Lu Xiang flew up and fell into the river with his hands and feet tied.
"Someone is down, down..."
Seeing Lu Xiang fall into the river, all his soldiers were immediately anxious. They all rushed forward to try to rescue Lu Xiang. However, Zhao Yun was so fast that he rushed forward in an instant. , stabbing left and right with a bright silver spear in his hand, he quickly killed all Lu Xiang's soldiers. When he saw something was wrong, Lu Xiang immediately panicked, raised his hands and shouted stand up.
"Tied!"
Seeing that Lu Xiang was willing to surrender, Zhao Yun did not try to kill him again. He put away his gun and shouted, several Bohai Navy cavalry rushed forward and unceremoniously tied Lu Xiang into a rice dumpling... …
It was early summer, when the reeds were green, and it was not easy to catch fire, but Gongsun Ming couldn't help it. He dug dozens of shallow ditches in the reed swamps and filled them with firewood poured with oil. , and the roots of the reeds on both sides of the shallow ditch are also poured with oil. Under such circumstances, as long as the fire is strong, the entire reed marsh will be a huge cage of fire. The poor Yizhou Army soldiers are burned by the smoke and fire. , the misery was really indescribable. The rearguard troops were able to escape from the reed swamp before the fire completely reached the sky, but the Chinese army and even some of the front army were miserable. Not many were burned to death by the fire. They died when their own horses trampled each other. There are quite a few below.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Yan Liang usually has a reputation of loving soldiers as much as his sons, but when his life is at stake, he has absolutely no mercy. As he rushes wildly with his horse, he has a big sword in his hand but he is merciless. He kept chopping and slashing, forcing his way out, and he was still in embarrassment. With his superb martial arts, he was able to successfully break out of the reed swamp filled with fireworks. He saw that the morale of the army was beyond control. Yan Liang did not dare to stop and gather his troops, so he roared and galloped away toward the Daqing River.
"Follow me, attack, capture Yan Liang alive, kill him!"
In the trench behind the gentle slope, Gongsun Mingming had been waiting for a long time on his horse. The reason why he was not in a hurry to kill the rearguard of the Yizhou Army was because Yan Liang appeared. Now that he saw Yan Liang's flag, he had already left the scene of the fire. Gongsun Ming naturally did not intend to wait any longer. With a shout, he led 3,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry and rushed out of the gentle slope, charging towards the chaotic Yizhou army like a tide. passed.
Chaos, chaos, with neither formation nor fighting spirit at all, how could the Yizhou remnant army be able to withstand the furious charge of the Bohai Navy, which had been recuperating for a long time? In just one move, the Bohai Navy was cut through butter like a knife. It was broken into two pieces, and a series of sword flashes flashed, and heads rolled to the ground. With no reckoning of casualties, the officers and soldiers of the Yizhou Army who were intercepted by the Bohai Navy all knelt all over the ground in panic. Since then, Gongsun Ming no longer committed mass killings. Sun Mi was left behind to clean up the battlefield with his infantry, while he led two thousand cavalry in pursuit northward.
"General, the bandits are catching up!"
Yan Liang led the remnants of his troops and ran five miles away in one breath. Only then did he remember that he should stop and collect the defeated troops. However, he never thought that not long after, a large number of Bohai Navy cavalry came rushing towards him in the smoke and dust billowing in the distance. There was one of them. The sharp-eyed soldier shouted in panic.
"Lü Kuang, I will lead my troops to break up the troops. The rest of the troops will follow me and retreat!"
Although there are still more than 12,000 remnants of the Yizhou army, except for Lu Kuang's troops in the rear army, which are still intact, the rest are scattered soldiers. Not to mention their armor, many soldiers even lack weapons. He lost his way. Under such circumstances, although Yan Liang was brave, he did not dare to stay and challenge the Bohai Navy. In desperation, he could only play the trick of losing his car to protect the commander, and led the remaining army towards the Daqing River. Withdrew quickly.
"Arrange on the spot, archers, hold down the position!"
Although Lu Kuang was very dissatisfied with Yan Liang's general order, he did not dare to disobey it. In desperation, he could only issue the general order and lead his five thousand troops to form an emergency formation to wait for the enemy.
"The whole army stops and forms a formation!"
The training level of the Yizhou Army is really impressive. Even after such a huge defeat, the formation speed is still extremely fast. They rushed to the front before the Bohai Navy and formed a defensive formation. When they saw that the enemy troops in front were well prepared, Gongsun Ming did not dare to charge forward with such force. He raised his hand more than 300 steps away from Lu Kuang's troops, stopped his soldiers, and prepared a dense charge. formation.
"My son, Gongsun, do you dare to fight with a certain person?"
Seeing that the Bohai Navy had stopped, Lu Kuang's tight heart immediately relaxed. He wanted to capture the thief first, so he bravely rushed out of the formation and stood tall with the spear in his hand. Gongsun Ming, who was under the handsome flag, roared wildly when he had enough energy.
"Want to die? I'll make it happen now!"
Seeing the rigorous formation of Lu Kuang's troops, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but frown slightly. There were no other reasons. Although he had as many as three thousand cavalry, nearly half of them were newly recruited using captured war horses. The combat effectiveness is obviously not very reliable, and it can be used to chase the rebel army, but it is obviously not enough to be used in a head-on confrontation with the Yizhou Army. And if Lu Kuang's interception cannot be defeated as soon as possible, Yan Liang, a big fish, can He was about to slip away, but none of the generals needed at this time were around. Even if he had never played a duel before, Gongsun Ming had no choice but to grit his teeth...
