Chapter 1010: Collapse at the touch of a button
To the north of Juyang, the Qi general Tian Da was the first to get the news that the Chu army had raided the Song army camp, and as soon as he got the news, Tian Da immediately let 20,000 Song troops be the vanguard, and 50,000 Qi troops were the main force, and then led 70,000 troops to kill the Song camp in the east of Juyang.
Then, not long after the departure of the coalition army, Tian Da received the news that Zhaoju led the main force of the Chu army to raid the Song army outside Juyang City, and the Chu army attacking the Song camp was only a partial division.
Seeing this, Tian Dabian immediately changed his course, moving from the southeast direction to the southwest direction.
Soon, Tian Da led the coalition army after a rapid march and finally arrived five miles away from the battlefield.
At this time, Tian Da saw that the battle on the battlefield was still going on, and his heart was relieved in vain.
Zhao Ju has not left yet, he is still on the battlefield, this is an opportunity, this is an opportunity to defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop.
"Order, speed up, besiege Zhao Ju, and kill Chu Xiang."
"Send an order, immediately send a message to General Zhangzi, just say that our department has found Zhao Ju and will drag him down, please bring a large army to surround and kill Zhao Ju quickly."
"No."
Meanwhile.
Song General Su He had already seen the figure of the coalition army in the distance, and then looked at the Song army, which was already on the verge of collapse, and immediately shouted in the army: "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived, steady, stabilize the formation"
It's just that the Song army, which was caught between the superior Chu army in the south and the west, and the Song army, which had lost its command, couldn't hear his shouts at all.
In particular, the Song army, which was fighting with the Chu army in the south, had already been driven and attacked by the Chu army, and was already dizzy, and they didn't know that reinforcements had arrived in the north. At this moment, they only knew that the offensive of the Chu army was extremely powerful, and they were surrounded by soldiers of the Chu State, as long as they retreated slowly, they would be killed by the Chu people.
In this situation, they can only keep retreating in order to save their lives on the battlefield.
But at this time, under the encirclement and drive of the Chu army, the Song army in the south, which could not bear the pressure, soon appeared the first army that turned around and fled to the north.
After someone took the lead, the second and third strands soon appeared.
At this time, the Chu army, which had been driving away the Song people, saw that the Song army had fled as an organized army, and immediately under the leadership of the generals, they lost no time in shouting: "The Song army has been defeated"
As soon as the Chu people shouted, the Song people in the south who were still fighting separately and fighting and retreating heard it, some of them couldn't hold on anymore and fled directly backwards, and some looked up and saw that a large number of Song people were fleeing north, and their hearts tightened, and then they also turned around and ran. The Song people, who were still struggling to persevere, saw that there were fewer and fewer Song troops around them, and there were more and more Chu people, and in the end, they could only follow the trend and run north.
As soon as the Song people who were engaged in the battle with the Chu people fled, the other Song people who were still in chaos, listening to the shouts of "the Song people have been defeated" in their ears, saw that a large number of Song people were fleeing north
So suddenly, tens of thousands of Song people were driven by nearly 100,000 Chu troops and fled.
At this time, in the formation of the Chu army, Zhao Ju was relieved when he saw that the whole army of the Song people had fled, and then looked up at the Qi and Song coalition forces in the north that had not yet arrived at the battlefield, and immediately ordered: "Order, drive the Song people to attack the Qi and Song coalition forces, and our army will cover up and kill behind." ”
"No."
On the other side, Tian Dazheng led the army to march quickly, and when he was less than three miles away from the battlefield, he suddenly saw a large-scale rout of the Song army in front of him, and then a large number of Song soldiers rushed towards them like a tide.
Seeing this, Tian Da's face changed dramatically.
"The Song army was defeated, how could this be possible, how long has it been since the Song army was defeated?"
"Yesterday, I led my army from the northeast of Juyang to the southwest of Juyang, but the Wei army, which was also flanked, only fell into the disadvantage, and there was no rout. And now"
"Alas, Song will be incompetent!"
Tian Da sighed and hurriedly ordered: "Pass the order, immediately send someone to let the Song State rout army bypass and retreat from both sides." ”
Saying that, Tian Da looked at the Song people not far away, as well as the Chu army following the Song people, frowned, and ordered: "Order, tell the front army, line up in place, put up a defensive formation, and wait for reinforcements." ”
After speaking, Tian Da asked uneasily: "Tell the former army General Song, just say that General Zhang Zi is already on the way to help, let him hold on, if the army is broken and charged, it will not matter if he kills." ”
"No."
It's just that at this time, the defeated army of the Song State was driven by the Chu people, and kept moving forward, ignoring the coalition soldiers who came to guide them, and just fled straight forward.
Then, General Song, who hurriedly laid out the defensive formation, saw that his formation had not yet been perfected, and the rout army had already rushed to his formation. The Song general hesitated for a moment, looking at the general of Su He, the main general at the forefront of the rout, and still did not give the order to kill his own rout after all.
Then, the 20,000 Song army was rushed by tens of thousands of defeated troops, and after a moment, the 20,000 Song army was completely defeated under the command of the general, and then joined the fleeing team.
In the Qi army not far away, Tian Da, who had been nervously paying attention to the battle of the former army, thought that the Song army could hold on to one or two, but saw that the 20,000 Song troops of the former army were almost crushed at the touch of a touch under the impact of the rout, and then the 20,000 front army of the Song State and tens of thousands of Song troops rushed towards him like a torrent.
Seeing this, Tian Da's face turned pale, and then he saw that the Qi army under his command had not yet set up a formation, and the Song army was too close to the Qi army at the moment, and it was too late to escape now.
Seeing this, Tian Da was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and scolded: "The Song people are incompetent, and they even involve our army, give orders, retreat, and retreat." ”
It's just that the mobilization of the 50,000 army is not easy, especially since the Qi army is still in array to defend against the enemy just now, and now it has to retreat
As a result, the Qi army, which was closest to the battlefield, had not yet begun to retreat, but the Song army had already rushed in.
Then the rout army rushed towards the Qi army, and the 50,000 Qi army was in chaos in an instant, and then the orderly retreat quickly evolved into a complete rout under the impact of the Song army.
The other side.
In the Chu army, which was chasing and killing the rout, Zhao Ju was also paying close attention to the movements of the Qi and Song coalition forces.
"General, the Qi and Song coalition forces were attacked by the Song army, and the whole army was defeated with one touch, and now the enemy army is fleeing north."
"Okay." Zhao Ju replied expressionlessly, and then asked, "What is the situation of Kuang Zhang's department now, and what news is there about the Qi and Wei coalition forces in the northwest of Juyang." ”
"Back to the general, Kuang Zhang's troops have now stopped attacking the city, and Yin Jun, the general of Juyang, has led 30,000 Chu troops out of the city to confront Kuang Zhang. As for the news of the Qi-Wei coalition army, it has not yet come. ”
As soon as Zhao Ju heard that Kuang Zhang, who was closest to the east, had been restrained by Yin Jun, he immediately said with great joy: "Okay, spread the spies within twenty miles around, and pay close attention to the movements of the Qi and Wei coalition forces, and report as soon as there is news." ”
"No."
"Pass my general's order, the whole army will continue to pursue and kill the Qi and Song coalition forces, strangle them with all their might, and inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy army."
"No."
With the issuance of the military order, all the units of the Chu army learned that the reinforcements of the Qi and Song coalition forces could not come for the time being, so they immediately put aside all their worries and began to pursue the defeated army with all their might.
With the pursuit and escape on both sides, with the Qi and Song coalition forces fleeing without a fighting spirit, and with the Chu army's hard pursuit, the casualties of the Song army who fled at the end began to increase greatly.
"General, the Qi-Wei coalition army has appeared, and it is still fifteen miles away from us."
When Zhao Ju heard that the Qi and Wei coalition forces appeared, he was not surprised, and responded: "Explore." ”
"No."
"Summons, continue to cover up."
"No."
"General, the Qi-Wei coalition army is still ten miles away from us."
"Revisit."
"The Qi-Wei coalition army is still five miles away from us."
As soon as Zhao Ju heard that the Qi and Wei coalition forces were already very close to the battlefield, his face was upright, and he didn't dare to be greedy, so he immediately ordered: "Order, Mingjin collects the troops, withdraws, and the whole army retreats to Huaishui." ”
"No."
