Chapter 386: The Gentleman's Golden Drum (Twenty-Seven)

The right wing of the righteous division is still fighting hard.

Except for the 900 men of the 7th Brigade, who still maintained a formation of spears and muskets, the rest of the brigade formations had problems.

Although the flanks are protected, the courage of the Yue people is indeed shocking, especially when the Yue nobles and gentlemen with broken hair and tattoos are impacted.

They are highly skilled in martial arts and skilled in sword fighting, which is completely different from the righteous spearmen who rely on formations.

The three companies had actually been overwhelmed by these Yueren, but the follow-up company prepared to resist and drive away the Yueren to maintain the formation, and the fifteen cannons on the left also had a perfect firing angle under the cover of the Seventh Brigade, which was able to withstand it and not let the formation disperse.

As soon as the formation dispersed, the people of the righteous master were slaughtered, and they knew very well in their hearts that this was all said earlier. That's why the commanders of the various brigades agreed so much with the idea of six fingers counterattacking on the flanks at the beginning, because what they heard most was what would happen if the spear formations were outflanked on the flanks.

That's why these young men from the peasants, when the spearmen in the front row of the company fell one by one under the sword of the Yue people, they still resolutely pushed forward from behind to maintain the formation.

The company commander is in the back, the company representative is in the front row, the company representative is dead, and the person with his own ink takes the initiative to take over and stand in the front row to maintain the tightness of the formation.

Their front was already full of corpses of the Yue people, and they were also full of their own corpses, and there was a company that rushed out because of the red eyes of the killing, and all the members were killed by the Yue, and the corpses after the death had maintained their formation.

There are too many people, and once you rush out and get wrapped, there is no place to run.

All the reserve companies had been pressed, and the musketeers basically had no chance to shoot in columns, and even in some of the fiercest places where the fighting was fiercest, they had no chance to shoot freely, so they could only draw their swords and crouch under their spears and stab each other with the Yue.

When the faint sound of the horn came, the brigade commander of the Sixth Brigade subconsciously looked up at the black smoke rising from the direction of the Chinese army, and couldn't help but roar: "It's settled!" ”

More people saw the black smoke that symbolized victory, and the spirit that was already exhausted burst out of the last strength, telling each other this exciting news, knowing that the Yue people could not last long, and the fight without fear of death at this time was the best way to survive.

The long-awaited rousing snare drum beat also resounded from brigade to brigade, and after one last beating of the rousing snare drum, the young snare drummers also threw down their cowhide drums and drew their short swords to join in the final battle.

…………

In the Yue Chinese army, a nobleman looked into the distance and shouted in a distracted and panicked voice: "The cavalry of the Mo family!" Cavalry! On our right flank! ”

The panicked shouts attracted the rest of the nobles to watch.

At this time, the cavalry had already broken through the thin line of the right flank of the Yueren, and behind the cavalry was a whole column of infantry, marching extremely fast.

King Yue looked at the cavalry and infantry on his right flank, who could already see the figures, and his heart was shocked.

It was as if the strength of his body had been drained, and he just muttered, "So they are here!" So they're here! ”

At this point, he also understood the intentions of the Mo family.

From the very beginning, the Mo family didn't want to fight a defensive battle at all, and they didn't even want to fight a small victory that forced the Yue people to retreat by the left flank.

From the very beginning, the people of the Mo family simply wanted to eat all the essence of the more than 40,000 Yue people who were good at fighting with him, and from beginning to end, there was no change.

Yue Wang Fei is not a mediocre talent, he judged the "seven inches" of the righteous division from the beginning, the junction of the Chinese army and the left wing is the seven inches of the righteous division, if you break through from there, you can indeed divide the righteous division and annihilate most of it.

However, it can't be rushed.

Then he judged that the right wing of the righteous division was elite, and the righteous division of the left wing of the middle army was more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, which was not wrong. Concentrated his forces and risked changing formations on the battlefield was also successful, and he was right to shrink his appetite and eat the right wing of the righteous division.

However, it can't be eaten.

The only thing he misjudged was the seven hundred rangers, he thought it was the Mo family's last means to press the bottom of the box, and thought that the Mo family had nothing to do, so he deployed all the remaining troops for a decisive battle.

In the past, it was like this.

But the righteous division of the Mo family is not the army of the past, nor is it an army that can decide the local victory or defeat of the battlefield by relying on hundreds of elite vehicles.

Now, the Yue army has been fully deployed, and only 2,000 gentlemen and some apprentices and archers are left around him, as well as the elite private soldiers of various nobles.

If you want to run, it's too late.

At this time, the withdrawal of troops will cause chain chaos.

Retreat is a delusion after the troops are fully deployed, and the army that can be deployed and retreat is not available in the world, and there will not be any in the next few hundred years.

At this time, if the army can be deployed and the army can be calmly retreated instead of retreating in an unfavorable situation, 50,000 people are enough to sweep the world.

The Yue people can't do it, the righteous teachers can't do it, and even the brigade of the most elite Mo family can't do it.

Yue Wang Phong had to make a judgment as soon as possible, unlike the previous formation confrontation that had lasted nearly an hour, a delay of even a very short moment at this time could bring devastating consequences.

The only possible "small defeat" now is that the right flank of the righteous division collapses at this moment, and after the collapse, the team quickly regroups and rushes back, rushing out before the righteous division is fully encircled.

But this possibility is not very small, but absolutely impossible.

Yue Wang Phong mourned in his heart, and almost all of his elites in this battle were about to be lost here.

It was not a defeat in a campaign, but a failure in the whole strategy, and even a failure in his reign.

More than 40,000 essences were wiped out, and the Yue people had no chance to gain a foothold in Surabaya, and they would never want to occupy Sishang again in 20 years, and this place would soon become the "fiefdom" of the Mo family, without crowns and feudal fiefdoms.

With just three towns, the Mo family can completely annihilate these 40,000 essences, and then expand to the seven countries of Surabaya, where can the Yue people have a chance to turn the sky?

Lying on the salary and tasting the guts, twenty years of life and reunion? But everyone knows about Gou Jian's husband's errand, and everyone in the Mo family knows the general trend of the world, where will they give themselves such an opportunity?

Could Qi Guo give up this excellent opportunity to go south? Wei Han was confronting the state of Chu, and he was unable to divide his troops at all. And even if Zhao Guo wants to make a move, in order to prevent Zhao Guo from taking the opportunity to become bigger, Wei State will not only not support it, but will definitely pull back its legs in the back - expansion is okay, and alignment and war are okay, but I am busy fighting with Chu State, and it is absolutely impossible for you Zhao State to do it yourself.

More than half of the Junzi army was killed and wounded, and even if he fled back to Langya, he had to face the possibility of the nobles forcing him to commit suicide and his younger brother and son killing his relatives to take the throne.

The nobles were very dissatisfied, and those who wanted to move the capital back to the south would definitely take the opportunity to force him to commit suicide and support his son to the throne, and his younger brother was not a good bird.

The Wu people in Jiangkou, when they heard the news of the defeat in the north, would not sit here in peace, and would definitely find a way to restore the country, or support the obedient Yue sons to split the Yue country.

…… How did you lose? How did you end up like this?

Yue Wang Peng felt that his eyes were dark, and for the first time in his life, he regretted why he went on the expedition?

When he regrets it, he will only regret what is in front of him, he has forgotten the necessity of sending troops, and only endless regret remains.

If you don't send troops, you will die, but you will die of illness slowly.

When sending troops, there is always a glimmer of possibility of gaining the initiative, but with the black smoke of the righteous division and the cavalry that is faintly visible in the rear, all this has come to naught.

Several nobles had already seen the problem, and hurriedly reassured: "Your Majesty! Retreat! There are two thousand gentlemen left, and they can still desperately break through the siege of the Mo family. If you don't withdraw at this time, you will all be captured! ”

"The cavalry of the Namo family is not comparable to the chariot, and it pursues along the road, and it is extremely fast. Moreover, the army of the righteous division is different from other countries, if they are surrounded by others, what is the use of holding on? ”

"Hold on to yourself in formation, hold out until dark, and look for an opportunity to break through? If it is elsewhere, it is still available, but the Mo family has a 'cannon', we form a formation to defend ourselves, the Mo family copper cannon bombards, and the musket volley, how can we hold on? ”

"The general trend is gone, it is better to withdraw! In the past, the first king Goujian 3,000 armor soldiers could also take revenge, but now they are thousands of miles away, why not report it? ”

Yue Wang Fei thought to himself, bullshit! Now that I have gone back, how can my sons give up this opportunity? Their grandfather was the one who killed his father, and half of the gentleman's army was lost here, and I will die when I go back!

The small nobles were disappointed and hated, the big nobles and relatives were ambitious, and under the feudal system, each nobleman had a private soldier who had Lutian Fengtian, and he had lost power. Especially the Yue Kingdom, which has a tradition of killing kings and fathers.

The defeat was decided, and Yue Wang Phong felt a little crazy, thinking that he was finished, and it was better to die here than to flee back and be humiliated or killed by his own son.

If there was no Mo family, he could have used the opportunity of Jin Chu to fight for hegemony again in Surabaya, but the appearance of the Mo family ruined all this.

In a fit of rage, he had lost his mind.

Anyway, they are all dead, and if they die, they will make everyone in the Mo family feel bad, and they will fight to win the right wing of the righteous teacher...... Perhaps, he did not want the enemy to be better because of defeat; Perhaps, he thought that even if he died, he would always die in the infighting, so it was better to bring greater losses to the righteous master here......

The madness under despair made him roar angrily: "Rush to the death, let the Janissary Gentleman enter the battlefield again, and storm the Mo family righteous master in front of him!" ”

But when his order was issued, the nobles around him did not carry it out, and the temple area that retreated from the front grabbed the reins of King Yue's carriage fiercely, and persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, it is okay to retreat!" In the past, the Chu people were destroyed by the Wu people, and the king of Chu died in Yunmeng and still returned to the country...... Now there is still a chance! ”

As he spoke, the nobles next to him also persuaded him, and even directly held King Yue's frame hostage and retreated to the back.

The people who were fighting in front of them could no longer control it, and they couldn't manage it at all, so they could only rely on the two thousand gentlemen's army around them and the chariots of various nobles to kill the soldiers, and retreat backwards.

For Yue Wang, defeat meant a coup d'Γ©tat. But for the nobles, it's good to be alive, and no matter who becomes the king when they go back alive, they still need the support of the nobles. But if you run away without permission here, you may be charged with "abandoning the lord and fleeing", and it will become a means for the new monarch to clean them up after he succeeds to the throne.

It is necessary to take Yue Wang Fei and flee together, so that he can order the two thousand gentlemen to flee together, otherwise it will be easy to be caught up by the cavalry of the righteous division if he escapes alone.

Yue Wang Peng, who was "hijacked" on the chariot, took one last look at the scorching battlefield, his heart was discouraged, looking at the cavalry that had been blocked behind them, his heart was clear for a moment, and he said in his heart: "When I go back, I will kill my son and younger brother first, maybe I can still sit in a stable position, and it is a big deal to move back to Huiji......"
