0785 Zhuxia New Life
At this time, on the east bank of the whirlpool, the battlefield had already spread. Due to its own confusion, the slave army could no longer encircle the Huainan Army at the original landing site, and the front line had no intention of fighting, and the defense line used to encircle the Huainan Army was getting weaker and weaker.
The number of troops that could be invested in the follow-up was also getting smaller and smaller, and many non-commissioned officers of other battalions had just been transferred from their original battalions to prepare to fill the defensive line, but they scattered in a hurry halfway through, and even the commanders of the soldiers hid among the soldiers and fled to the outskirts far from the battlefield.
In the face of such a situation, of course, the Huainan Army will no longer stick to the original array, under the leadership of the commander who is fighting on the front line, the soldiers take the battalion as a unit and rush straight to the weak point of the formation in front!
"Kill slaves, kill slaves! This battle will be won, and Ji Long will be captured alive! ”
"Kill to pay for your sin, and live on the ground!"
"Huainan is brave and fierce, swear to break the thief slave!"
Similar generous shouts rose and fell in the battle array, and brought a sense of coercion to the slave soldiers. Although there are many figures surging on the battlefield, but at this moment, in fact, the real battle situation is not often in a tragic battle, although the slave soldiers are still rushing on the rampage, running left and right, but more just to avoid the urging of those soldiers in the rear, but no longer stupidly rushed forward to fight for the Huainan army.
"I am a Jin person, a Jin person...... Spare your life, spare your life! ”
In the chaos, there were many slave soldiers who just collided with the Huainan army that was rushing to kill, and some of them threw away their blades cleanly, fell to the ground, and feared that they would be killed by mistake, so they tried their best to lift their scattered sideburns, just to show their facial features that were very different from those of the carapace. However, in such a chaotic situation, their move is purely superfluous, the Huainan Army's front-line fighting array at the moment is only those slave army units that still maintain a certain structure and are quite large-scale, as for those who retreat and scatter, it is more just to maintain a simple drive, so that these people cannot be assembled.
In such a chaotic and noisy environment, no command can no longer have its ability, and the key to the Huainan Army's ability to maintain the battalion structure is that every Wu Shi, captain and other commanders are in the lead, and the soldiers tend to follow behind.
Heroes need to drink blood, and every marquis comes out of the army!
The Huainan Army attaches great importance to the captains and other grass-roots commanders, even dating back to before the establishment of the town into an army, the most noteworthy of which is naturally Mo Zhong, who was originally a scholar and made great contributions in battle, so he was drawn out of the army.
Although at the beginning of the formation of the Huainan Army, in order to strengthen the control of the army, Shen Zhezi also incorporated a large number of his own children and subordinates into the army, but most of these people were not directly in important positions, and even Yu Yi's son Yu Manzhi, including Shen Zhezi's cousin Shen Yun, were gradually recruited from relatively grass-roots captains. The fact that these children of the family are in this position is a kind of reinforcement for the position of the rank of lieutenant at the grassroots level, and then they will be used for meritorious service.
Previously, when the slave army had not yet come south, most of the children of these families led hundreds of soldiers deep into southern Henan, and even achieved a brilliant victory such as the victory of the city father. Later, whether it was the Battle of Yingkou or the Battle of Feikou, these young people were fully promoted and reused, such as Shen Yun defending the important place of Kip Stone City alone, Yu Manzhi sitting in Bagong Mountain, and Xie Yi leading the army to respond between Feikou.
Although it is difficult for these young generals to be fair and just in the selection process, of course, there is also the reason why Shen Zhezi takes special care and gives them more opportunities to perform. But at the very least, every pull has a merit to rely on and traces to follow. With Shen Zhezi's authority and status in Huainan, there is no need for this seemingly redundant way to establish the impression that the grace and power are from the door, but it is still relatively seriously implemented.
On the one hand, the reason for this is to tell these young people that what kind of position they may be able to achieve in the army does not depend on who they are or what kind of relationship they have with the main general, but on whether they have the talents and merits to match. On the other hand, it is also a warning to the latecomers not to substitute the chaotic world style of Jiangdong into the Huainan army, because with the example of these predecessors, many descendants of the family who joined the army in Liangjun to reinforce Huainan did not dare to force their positions anymore.
The last point, of course, is also to set a group of examples for those soldiers and create a model for the Huainan Army that is different from the world. With this alone, of course, it is impossible to wash away the long-standing evils of the world, which Shen Zhezi has to admit. But it's not a question of direction, it's a matter of time. Over time, as the Huainan Army has been fighting for a long time, there will inevitably be more and more soldiers like Mo Zhong who stand out in the army and become the backbone of the army.
Only in this way can the Huainan Army have greater inclusiveness and growth, and can make the soldiers good at martial arts, brave in battle, and achieve greater victories and achievements. Let these military positions return to the military itself, and no longer depend on the shadow of the gateway or the relationship between the clan and the clan.
In order to complete this idea, there must be a huge variable that impacts the original order, and it is by no means a closed-door plan that can be completed. For example, in the current battle of the vortex, the great achievement is in front of you, and the battle array is only a few miles away, but if you judge the merit afterwards, it may be the judgment of cloud and mud! After this war, how many people can be crowned? How many people can be worshipped? How many people will be lonely?
It's all undecided! Who will be able to shock the world in the future, and they will have bows and knives in their hands at this moment!
The more chaotic the slave army, the more certain the chance of victory, and the more brave the Huainan army in the battle array!
There was a fierce battle in the battle array, and nearly a thousand slave soldiers were forced into a corner by a battalion of Huainan soldiers. However, this way the slave army was only forced to retreat due to the general situation, but it itself has not yet collapsed, and it seems that it should be the personal soldiers of a certain overseer slave general, and in the face of the general decline, he can still maintain the movement of the whole department.
Although there were only more than 200 people, this battalion of Huainan Army was still extremely brave and fearless of death in this corner battlefield between the two camps. Under the leadership of the captain, dozens of lance-wielding soldiers in the front formation rushed straight to the thousands of enemies on the opposite side, followed by the sword and shield on both wings, and the archers in the middle frequently shot upwards during their runs, and the slave soldiers on the opposite side continued to fall to the ground with arrows.
Of course, the slave soldiers' counterattack was also fierce. There was also no shortage of slave soldiers in the army to shoot, and the Huainan army continued to die of arrows during the pursuit.
"Rush! Rush through this journey and enter the battle, and the thief will have no arrows to shoot! ”
The captain who rushed to the front roared, and at the same time ran faster, oblivious to the stray arrows that swept overhead. And the soldiers behind him also roared wildly, and the speed became faster and faster, and the distance of dozens of zhang must be rushed in a moment. The spear-wielding soldiers in the front formation had their spears in their hands, and the long lance blades directly pierced into the camp of the slave army, and immediately stabbed a deep wound in the formation of the slave army. The slave soldiers who bore the brunt were all directly pierced by the sharp lance, and the dead corpses formed a line!
There were slave troops on the side who wanted to rush up and kill these Huainan soldiers who were trapped in the formation, but they were immediately slashed and retreated by the infantry soldiers on both wings with swords and shields. The lancers continued to rush towards the enemy's ranks, and for every foot they entered, slaves were killed. Directly penetrated into the slave formation several feet deep, and all the slaves on the left scattered to escape, not daring to step forward to force the resistance. Nearly 1,000 enemy troops were directly pierced and rushed away by these hundreds of Huainan troops who were not afraid of death!
Morale is used in this way to affect every corner of the battlefield, if this battalion of Huainan Army hesitates and pauses a little after seeing the enemy's strength, it will naturally be counterattacked by the slave army, and it is very likely that the whole army will be annihilated here. Even if you quickly withdraw from the battle, you are likely to be pursued by the slave army, and you will also have to pay an extremely heavy price to get rid of the slave army's pursuit.
But now, they rushed directly into the battle with all their might, and although nearly half of them were killed on the way, in the end, the slave army could not bear the heavy casualties and fled.
"The thief will not escape, and he will help me become a marquis!"
After cutting through the enemy line, the lieutenant wiped the blood from his face, and after a little direction, he continued to pursue in the direction of the slave general's escape. Naturally, his men followed suit, struggling to catch up, and as for the soldiers who were seriously wounded and difficult to walk, they sat up on the spot, put spears in front of them, wiped their foreheads with blood, and shouted the slogan of killing slaves.
In fact, when it comes to the organizational strength of the grassroots level, the slave army is not much inferior to the Huainan army, and even surpasses it. For example, some of them account for a large number of miscellaneous followers, and there is no shortage of fathers and sons living together in the army, worshipping the little marshal and the chief for generations, and when it comes to the cooperation in the battle formation, it has even penetrated into life and carved into the bones. What's more, the life itself is not stable farming, and there are many migrations without a fixed place, and when dealing with many variables, that kind of almost habitual execution is itself the basis of elite soldiers.
This kind of organization, once a favorable battle is fought, whether it is a joint killing of the enemy or looting supplies, it is extremely skillful and invincible. However, once encountering adversity, the situation of general decline and collapse of the masses is by no means something that the generals can stop.
You must know that in addition to this identity, those grassroots commanders also have an identity of the suzerain, parents, these soldiers around them are not only their comrades-in-arms, but also their relatives and family property.
Military law is not hostile, and the reason why any elite and strong army must emphasize military discipline and military law is that through these strict and thorough military orders, the soldiers should try their best to remove the social organization other than the army, so that the father and son must ignore and the military order must be carried out. What's more, even the entire social structure outside the ranks has to be built in favor of military law.
At this time, there was still some time before dawn, Shi Hu hurriedly fled under the protection of thousands of cronies, although the movement was not small, but except for some slave soldiers and slave generals nearby, the chaotic generals on the front line were not aware.
After the slave general Ma Qiu took over the flag honor guard left by Shi Hu, he did not notify the generals to leave the battle formation as Shi Hu ordered when he left, because this is just a nonsense, if the slave army still has room to get out of the battle, why should even the main general escape from the battle! Therefore, at present, a few generals can escape, and they really want to settle their destiny and send people to pass on the message, whether they can find someone in the chaos array to deliver the order and not say it, it is more likely to spread the news that the Lord has fled into the array, causing greater chaos.
"The southern thieves are fierce and desperate, and they want to exterminate all the countrymen! The army is far away from foreign countries, and if it is scattered and flees, it will have no life! Only now can we fight a way out of the crowd to protect together! ”
After taking over, Ma Qiu no longer made any strong encouragement, because of the declarations of the Huainan Army, Shi Hu only kept the Qihu soldiers by his side. Although more than 1,000 people were taken away before, during the chaotic battle, the soldiers looked forward to the banner of the main general, and many soldiers gathered here one after another. Some knew that Shi Hu had fled, and even if they chased him in that direction, there were more of them in the chaos because they didn't know the details, and they just gathered around the banner in a mess.
In order to show the truth of what he said, he personally shot at the slaves who rushed to the direction of Shi Hu's escape, also known as the cavalry to chase and suppress, and then let people beat the flag: "A battle later, not for merit, but for survival!" Whoever wants to live, take the flag as the number, and rush out with me! ”
After that, he ordered someone to load Shi Hu's guard of honor into the carriage, and led the hundreds of people and horses that were still in his lineage to rush to the opposite side of Shi Hu's escape. Even if the slaves near the left did not hear the sound of the order, they could see the movement of the momentum, and they all subconsciously followed, and soon gathered more than 2,000 people and horses, and there were still slave troops chasing after them in the frontline battlefield.
"The slave army is defeated, the slave army is defeated!"
The Huainan troops on the front line also discovered the movement of the banner of the slave army in the rear formation, and a series of enthusiastic and earth-shaking shouts broke out when they landed.
"Jin Zuo Tianbless, Huainan Zhuangwu! The thieves are ugly, and the work of inserting the mark is not allowed to be separated! All the armies will fight and kill Ji Long in the wild! ”
Han Huang, the commander of the middle road of the Huainan Army, had already landed at this time, and with his order, dozens of war drums in the formation rang out, and the battlefield that stretched for dozens of miles suddenly resounded with the echoes of the Huainan Army's various units one after another. The soldiers still have the strength to fight, and they are all excited and brave, and they rush towards the banner of the slave army's rout!
"Yongjia is old and decadent, and now it is gone! Jin Zuo's majestic voice, Zhuxia is newborn, and he is the beginning of his own generation! ”
At this time, the Huainan cavalry also outflanked from the upper reaches of the whirlpool, and with a little glimmer of dawn in the sky, Shen Zhezi clearly saw that the slave soldiers were running to the rear around the skewed banners of Shi Hu, and the blood was already surging, and they stepped on the stirrups and whipped hard: "A hundred miles of work, not half of it is now." Kill the thief and slave first, and soothe the hunger, thirst and hatred for a while. In the coming days, there will be no more hesitation! ”
"Serve Shen Hou to death, kill slaves in the wild, and drink Ma Heluo!"
As soon as Shen Zhezi's words fell, Liu Di, who was the commander of his battalion nearby, had already whipped his arms and shouted.
"Die for Shen Hou, crisscross China, and shock the north and south!"
Thousands of horsemen spread out over the field, and soon swept in front of the pursuing men and horses on the Huainan Zhulu, taking their place in pursuit of the Yukou of Qihu. And as the cavalry team joined the battle, the sound of the slave army's mourning finally sounded, and the sound of crying and screaming in the suburbs filled this heaven and earth, and under the iron hooves, a wide blood-colored avenue of corpses was rapidly spreading in the direction of the slave army's escape!
"Spare your life, spare your life...... If you can live, you will not dare to look south in this life......"
The slave army was already running for their lives, but how could they escape the pursuit of the cavalry, many slaves were full of blood and tears, but they could not escape the last fate.
There was also no shortage of cavalry in the slave army, but they were all scattered by the chaotic soldiers, and it was difficult to assemble at all. However, after escaping some distance, the cavalry gradually outnumbered the fleeing large army, and there were signs of imminent assembly ahead.
And after Shen Zhezi led the cavalry to pursue the slave army for a while, he also detoured the general direction of the slave army's escape and rushed straight towards the other party's cavalry. At this moment, there are still war horses and mounts on the way to escape, which are naturally the elite and commanders of the slave army, and they should be exterminated first. And Shen Zhezi never believed that Shi Hu would honestly flee with a guard of honor, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be a bait, and only by capturing those slave army commanders could he torture Shi Hu's specific escape route.
