Chapter 1339: Wei Xiaokuan's struggle
"Chase!" Countless Han soldiers shouted loudly.
From south to north, Lu Guangda's department, Xiao Shilian's department, and Huang Wan's department, the soldiers of the Han army poured forward like a tide, surging forward, they chased the Northern Zhou army that gradually turned from slow to hasty, they rushed down the hillside, crossed the blue river that had completely turned blood-red, and ran forward desperately.
With so many robes and brothers falling, now is an opportunity for revenge.
Chasing the dead and chasing the north is the best consolation for the souls of these robes in the sky.
We won this battle.
Lu Guangda watched countless soldiers rush past him and let out a long breath.
Wei Xiaokuan, Liang Shiyan, and then it can be said that Dahan's subordinates were defeated.
Not to mention anything else, at least five years ago, this was a scene that Lu Guangda, who was sitting in Yingzhou at the time, could not have imagined, and now this situation is really in front of him.
"General?" The guards around him are also eager to try.
These young men were all following Lu Guangda after the Northern Expedition, they naturally had no way to understand Lu Guangda's complex and emotional feelings, and now what they were thinking about was whether they could also rush up and take a sip of soup, according to the current momentum, if they go a little slower, I am afraid that they will not even have the opportunity to drink soup.
Lu Guangda tilted his head slightly, looking at these sturdy young men with confident faces, what they believed in now and had done was what their predecessors could not have imagined just a few years ago. Who brought these people such confidence, and who changed all this with the ability to turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain?
Li Xinchen······ You should be the biggest variable in this troubled world.
"Let's go, let's rush up too!" Lu Guangda threw away the slander against His Majesty, drew his sword and pointed straight ahead, if he doesn't kill the enemy now, when will he wait?
"Kill!" The guards shouted and swarmed up.
On the battlefield of Lanchuan and Bailuyuan, some people are happy, and naturally some people are depressed.
The defeated Northern Zhou army was as anxious as a lost dog, hurried like a fish that slipped through the net, a famous general was in vain to restrain the troops, and those Northern Zhou soldiers whose faces were covered with mud and blood, and who had already been frightened by the red tide swept by the mighty storm behind them, where would they still obey the order?
For them, these Nanban have long been difficult to defeat because of one battle after another and defeat after defeat, and now that this defeat is irrepressible, the last bit of confidence in their hearts because of the presence of famous generals such as Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan has also vanished.
Even people like Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan can't solve the predicament in front of them, so what can they do other than hurry up and flee for their lives?
Gao Xi rode his horse and rushed to Wei Xiaokuan's side, half of his armor had been lost, his helmet was missing, and even the heart goggles had been broken, and the whole person looked embarrassed, of course, looking at the surrounding chaotic army, there were many people who were even more embarrassed than him.
"General, subordinates ask for guilt!" Gao Xi gritted his teeth and said, obviously he was also injured in the close-range fight just now, and the wound was still burning at this time.
Wei Xiaokuan glanced at him, if you want to talk about the reason for the failure of this battle, Gao Xi is of course responsible, but Wei Xiaokuan also knows that with those soldiers and horses under Gao Xi's command, it is almost unrealistic to resist the onslaught of the Han army.
Fighting a war cannot depend on waiting for a miracle to happen, people can expect a miracle, but they must be prepared for the worst.
Of course, Wei Xiaokuan didn't do it on purpose, so why wasn't he gambling? After he gambled that he would attack Lu Guangda's department with all his might, Xiao Shilian would return to the division to rescue, who knew that Xiao Shilian directly regarded the defeat of Gao Xi's department as the primary goal, and Lu Guangda was also very neat and stubbornly withstood Liang Shiyan's advance, and the battle situation naturally became like this.
Gao Xi is at fault, Wei Xiaokuan, who misjudged Xiao Shilian's movements, and Liang Shiyan, who did not achieve results in his attack, are not wrong?
A rout never happens because of the collapse of one node, but because of one link after another, interlocking together, and finally making the situation irreparable.
"Now is not the time to say that." Wei Xiaokuan said a word, he didn't plan to discuss with Gao Xi at this critical juncture, Gao Xi, as Yang Jian's confidant, really wanted him to admit that all the mistakes were committed by himself, it must not be so easy, now Gao Xi obviously came with anger, the sentence just now is quite a bit of "want to promote and suppress first", if he continues, he will ask Wei Xiaokuan for the guilt.
Gao Xi's eyes flashed, and Wei Xiaokuan immediately said: "To the south of Lantian, there is only the last ravine left, you go and gather all the soldiers and horses in the Lantian camp first, and the old man will take these people to fight and retreat." ”
Gao Xi was stunned for a moment, Wei Xiaokuan was planning to hand over the heavy responsibility of covering the army to himself, which he never expected. Wei Xiaokuan was willing to put himself in danger and let a man who had originally planned to come to him for an explanation command the last remaining bit of the army.
Gao Xi only felt a warmth in his heart, it was he who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "My subordinates obey orders." ”
And Wei Xiaokuan looked at Gao Xi's back and just smiled.
"General, why is that?" Li Shiqian, the long history beside Wei Xiaokuan, couldn't help but ask. And his question is not the same as that of the rest of the generals around him.
In their opinion, Gao Xi must be responsible for this defeat, but Wei Xiaokuan did not mean to hold Gao Xi accountable at all, but asked Gao Xi to cover the back road, which was too ······
Wei Xiaokuan said lightly: "After all, Gao Xi is a close confidant of King Sui, of course he knows that if he loses again, there will really be no room for recovery, and the old man handed over such a heavy task to him in order to gag his mouth, otherwise when will it be, if infighting breaks out again, wouldn't it be a joke for Xiao Shilian to see it?" ”
Li Shiqian and others, who were still angry in their hearts, didn't say much more.
Obviously, the general's considerations are even higher than theirs. And it was already at this time, and the general still had to consider the internal strife and dispute, which also made those who originally planned to have a good discussion with Gao Xi feel ashamed.
"Restrain your subordinates, fight and retreat." Wei Xiaokuan said decisively.
The situation of the battle has deteriorated and even collapsed to this point, and all he can do is to reduce his losses as much as possible.
But this time, Xiao Shilian seems to have made up his mind to fight Lantian in a battle, and the chase is so urgent, how much can he really keep these soldiers and horses?
Wei Xiaokuan looked at the Han army in front of him who was desperately advancing forward, and couldn't help frowning.
It's only been a few years, and the world has turned upside down.
All I can do is try my best to struggle again.
