Rushing all the way for half an hour, the Leopard Tao Battalion Hengdao Team took the lead in killing the eastern front of the Black Turban Army, and Fang Qian, Lu Zhao, and Xu Jin's troops were able to expand the gap and defeat the eastern front in one fell swoop, causing the door of Song He's inner formation to open, and the western, southern, and northern sides of the Fangyuan Formation suffered the enemy on their backs.

"Report, report to General Song, the Xian army has defeated the Eastern Front and has entered the formation."

A general said in a panic, Song He was taken aback:

"What, how could it be so fast."

"More than 100 people in the Xian army were invulnerable, the sword was extremely fast, and they cut the legs of our horses, and only a cup of tea, more than 2,000 horsemen on the eastern front cut off the legs of horses, and they were killed by the cavalry of the Xian army. The Xian army had already entered the formation at this time, and the gap was difficult to plug. Please general, break it quickly! ”

"Damn!" Song He cursed and looked eastward, and saw from a distance that the Xian army poured into the formation like a tide, crushing the entire eastern front, attacking the formation with great momentum, and was attacking the southern and northern flanks. Song He knew that the general trend had gone at this time, and said disheartenedly:

"Pass my general's order, and the whole army will quickly break through to the north!"

"No!"

To the north is the line of Anxing and Jinnong, Song He knows that the Xian army has been exhausted, otherwise it will not be able to hold out for so long, and there is still a glimmer of life at this time to lead the army to break through.

Soon after the order to break through, the rebels on the western and southern fronts rushed to the northern front like a broken sand tower, like a tide, Song He led the army to attack the Xianjun defense line regardless of casualties, Xiao Qu and Gu Zhong's two generals were under great pressure, and they could not resist the battle, and they were rushed by Song He before dusk to open a gap half a mile wide, and nearly 10,000 black turban rebels killed from the gap and broke all the way to the north.

Ye Xin led his troops to chase and kill until dark, but he was really sleepy and couldn't chase, so he stopped and returned.

Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) led his troops to gather men and horses to rescue the wounded, and after the first battle, the two battalions of Leopard Tao and Xiao Cavalry suffered nearly one-third of the casualties, and there were less than 1,200 people standing. Fang Qian, Lu Zhao, and Xu Jin's subordinates were roughly like this, and Gu Zhong and Xiao Qu suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the casualties.

The Black Turban Army broke through from the northern front in a panic, and they were few and couldn't hold it, but it was not a crime of war. Ye Xin's casualties were the smallest, less than a quarter, and Song He had obviously intended to place the breakthrough direction on the northern front, so that he could flee to the Jinno and Anxing lines.

This made Bai Liyan think of the words "the siege must be missing", if Gu Zhong and Xiao Qu were killed halfway and then released the water, the casualties of the Xian army might be smaller, the black turban army retreated from the north, and an ambush was laid on the road in advance, and Song He would not have escaped so easily.

After nightfall, the mourning was endless, there were people and horses, Ye Xin convened all departments to discuss the deployment of the next two days.

"Our army is tired from fighting for days, and today it has increased by thousands of casualties, and it is no longer able to continue the march, and the governor of Pontus has decided to repair here for two days, what do you generals think?"

"The Admiral agrees." Gu Zhongdao, the black blood on his face had not been wiped off.

Xiao Qu said at this time:

"Although the Black Turban Army fled, we had to prevent them from killing our army, after all, the wounded and sick soldiers were in our hands, and they had no burden, and when they suddenly killed, our army couldn't resist it for a while."

General Xiao has a point. The wounded soldiers of the enemy and us are as many as 7,000, and the serious wounded account for 40 percent, and our army has been exhausted in today's battle, and if we come to raid again tonight, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Xu Jindao.

Bai Liyan nodded, and took over the conversation:

"What the generals said has a point, repair is a top priority, rescue the wounded, and guard against the attack of the Black Turban Army is also a top priority. This place is only more than 320 miles away from Shaoping, and if our army repairs, two days will definitely not be enough, at least three or five days.

Three or five days later, Chen Fei's navy had already gone east, and our army would be alone. Shao Ping's enemy will not let our army leave so easily. Therefore, Wei suggested that our army build a pontoon bridge to cross the river on the spot, and not go to Anpingdu. ”

Ye Xin nodded in agreement and said:

"Saddle screen according to this hundred miles, although it only takes one day to build a pontoon bridge, but it will take at least two days on the road, it takes two to three days to build a pontoon bridge here, but it can be erected during the rest period, it is also cost-effective to come and go, and it saves effort, so do it now."

During the First World War, the Xian army suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, more than 1,800 killed, many of them were wounded and fell off their horses and trampled to death, Gu Zhong and Xiao Qu accounted for the majority, and the rebels left more than 7,000 corpses and wounded soldiers, and nearly 3,000 corpses have been found, and more than 4,000 wounded.

When Song He was defeated and retreated, he left behind more than 20,000 war horses brought from Shaoping, and the Xian army still made a lot of money, so that the Xian army alone had more than 110,000 horses and more than 10,000 donkeys.

During the night, all the armies and battalions stepped up to bury the wounded in the corpses, and those who had spare strength also organized people to kill horses and get meat, and many horses killed and wounded in battle lay on the ground, not to mention as many as three or five thousand, but it just became food for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger and hunger.

The next day, just after dawn, Sikong Nan, Bai He, Su Hong drove the war horses and female dependents to be late, and in the next few days, the Xian army set up a pontoon bridge for three days, and Gu Zhong and Xiao Qu took the lead in crossing the river to guard, and then transported the wounded across the Changchao River.

After more than 9,000 people under Song He's command fled north, they found that the Xian army did not pursue them on the second day, so they diverted back to Shaoping. Shentong was defeated when he heard the news, and he also lost half of the war horses he brought, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to kill Song and ask for the crime.

"Song He, you are guilty!" The god asked angrily.

"Heavenly King, the end will not be in time! All the generals know about this matter, and please ask the king of heaven to see it. ”

"It's too late! Hum! Shentong Sen said coldly, angry in his heart: "This Heavenly King came to tell General Song why it was too late. At noon on the second day of your overnight march, the scouts discovered that the Xian army had retreated. At that time, did you think that the Xian army deliberately set horses to lure you into battle? ”

"Yes, the last general was really worried that this was a trap of the Xian army, so he did not send troops to chase after him that day."

"If on the first day you were worried that the Xian army was planning to lure you, then why did your men and horses not chase after you during the day on the second day, and did not send troops to chase you until the night of the second day, how do you explain this?"

"The humble post was guarded in Anping at that time, four hundred and fifty or sixty miles away from Shaoping, and the Xian army went west and north for three hundred miles without a trace, but all the horses were abandoned, which was really contrary to common sense, and the last general was worried that the scouts would not have a good vision, and it was difficult to find out all the things within three hundred miles, and the Xian army was very likely to lie in an unknown place, so he stayed for a day, and did not dare to lead the army to march at night until after dark."

"Hmph, if you hesitate for a day, you can still say that you are cautious, and it is reasonable. If you hesitate for the whole day on the second day, you're missing the plane. Why didn't you think that the Xianjun army was only less than 300 miles away from Shaoping, 400 miles in one day and one night, and six or seven hundred miles in three days. ”

"This, this, who would have thought that the Xian army could suddenly turn around and cross the bridge, where could the last general think. Besides...... "Speaking of this, Song He wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the cannibalistic gaze of the supernatural power, he didn't dare to speak."

He knew that if he really said it, the supernatural powers could really kill him.

The supernatural power naturally knew why Song He didn't say it, and saying it was also a miscalculation by his supernatural king, and he didn't calculate that the Xianjun would abandon the horses, kill the horses, and then turn back to take the horses. However, Song He's delay in missing the military plane for one day was the biggest failure.

If Song He got the news on the eve of the attack, where could the scouts pass out from heat stroke, they would definitely tell the news of the destruction of the Shaoping pontoon bridge, otherwise there would not be only six military orders without any prerequisites for Empress Jian to "slaughter the horses of the Xian army". It was Song He Shao who walked that day's journey, causing all the horses to be taken away.

"Humph!" Shentong was furious, and slapped his palm on the table: "Come on, take Song He down, take thirty military sticks first, and wait for the fate!" ”

The left and right guards stepped forward to tie Song He's hands behind his back, and were about to escort him away, when the generals stepped forward to plead:

"Heavenly King Kaig, this battle is really the cunning of the Xian army, and I also ask the Heavenly King to exempt General He from the death penalty."

"General He has a credit to the monarch's father, and he also asks the king of heaven to be merciful and make him meritorious service."

Of course, Shentong didn't want to kill Song He, but Song He was stupid, and it was understandable that he missed one day, and he missed the opportunity for two days in a row, how could he be spared.

"The generals don't have to say anything, they will escort Song He down, and when they return to the Yongxing River camp, they will talk about life and death. Hold on! ”

"No!"

The left and right guards escorted Song He down, and the anger of the supernatural powers was far from subsiding, and Lu Ting said at this time:

"Heavenly King, there is news that Chen Feishi has turned around and left two days ago, and the Ye Xin Department of the Xian Army is also crossing the river, whether our army will send troops to intercept it."

At this time, Chen Hanxin answered:

"What General Lu said is extremely true, the Xian army has suffered a lot of casualties, and it is driving 120,000 donkeys and horses, and the action will definitely not be fast, if our army intercepts it on the south bank, it will definitely be able to intercept the Xian army in one fell swoop."

The generals competed to talk and fight, but the divine power sneered:

"Then how do you know that the Xianjun army will not kill another horse gun, is this Heavenly King knowing, or are you waiting to know!"

"This ......"

As soon as the word is spoken, the crowd will not know how to respond.

It stands to reason that the Xian army defeated Song He and took advantage of it, and the casualties were quite heavy and should be retreated, but the Xian army did not play cards according to the routine, and no one knew whether the Xian army would kill another horse gun after crossing the river, and any common sense lost the basis for judgment in front of the Xian army at this moment.

After a moment of silence, the supernatural power groaned and said:

"General Lu listens to orders."

"The end will be."

"Hurry up and send thirty capable messengers, send a notice to all cities and counties in Qiunan County, gather people from all over the country, pay close attention to the movements of the cavalry of the Xian army, be sure to hold the city, and do not go into battle without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed."

"No!"

……

"General Chen Hanxin."

"The end will be."

"General Chen ordered another 10,000 horses from Shaoping to cross the river on the pontoon bridge, and guarded the south bank, making sure that the pontoon bridge was unblocked, and not allowing the Xian army to take advantage of it."

"No, the last will obey."

Chen Hanxin and Lu Ting's troops were attacked by the Xian army, and more than 4,000 of the 20,000 were killed, 5,000 were wounded, and 10,000 were smaller, more than half of the dead were drowned, and the rest were seriously injured and accounted for 40 percent, which can be described as heavy casualties.

Counting the previous robbery of horses by the Xian army, Song He was defeated, Shaoping was broken, and the Black Turban Army suffered as many as 23,400 casualties. The Xian army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, more than 5,000 casualties, and more than 60,000 donkeys and horses.

Note: With regard to the selection of the river crossing site and landing site, it is first necessary to clarify a general background, that is, different periods, different technical conditions, different historical backgrounds, different battlefields, rivers, and the location of river crossing are restricted by the above factors.

In ancient times, subject to technical conditions, the location suitable for landing and bridge erection was relatively limited, especially during the tense war confrontation, the above multiple factors greatly restricted the bridge erection operation, and at the same time, the ancient suitable landing and bridge landing point did not mean that it was suitable for the implementation of bridge erection operation under modern technical conditions.

At the same time, during the war, the enemy and us bite closer, there are fighter conditions, the bridge crossing site should be far away from the war zone, or there is a buffer safe space, the river width is moderate, too wide is not conducive to shortening the bridge operation and material preparation time, too narrow and turbulent, not conducive to bridge-building, at the same time, wetlands, tidal flats, river bank depth are all factors affecting the construction of pontoon bridges and river crossing, should be comprehensively considered, strategy, battlefield, water ripples, meteorology and current technical level factors, choose the appropriate river crossing site. Of course, if there are no fighter conditions, it can only buy time and favorable fighters at the cost of the lives of the fighters to cover the main force to cross the river and retreat.

Of course, flexible application and the choice of comprehensive conditions that are favorable to one's own side are the primary choices in war.
