0643 Manpower is poor
Shen Mu and other cavalrymen were trapped in the camp for a whole day and night, and they were not sent to the front even when the Qihu offensive was at its most fierce. At this time, he was finally able to break out of the camp, and his mood can be described as manic, and once he crossed the trench, the war horse stepped on the corpses piled up in front of the battle and began to charge!
At this time, the enemy was still shouting and wandering in the front formation, and the overseers wielded long knives and spears in the middle to try to maintain the formation, but when the cavalry on the opposite side rushed at an accelerated speed, the first efforts collapsed instantly, and those strong men who were already not strong in battle no longer ignored the shouting, scolding, kicking and beating beside them, turned around and ran wildly!
"The Jin people are sideways, and the slaves and thieves are killed!"
Shen Mu has also been practicing the horse lance hard for several years, at this time, Gao Ji was on the horse, and his arms were smashing down with a pole, and the heavy and sharp lance blade jumped down suddenly, and instantly cut a Xionghu soldier mixed in the strong man from the back of his shoulder, and after the slave's corpse prostrated on the ground, the liver and sausage gushed out with blood and water from the back of the waist!
Yu Manzhi and other generals also put away their scattered and harassing riding bows, and each held a spear and stabbed frequently. With such a ferocious impulse, everyone was frightened, and no one dared to parry, and it became a rout in an instant.
However, how could the feet be compared to the galloping of four hooves, and the thousands of cavalry were like a sharp steel spear, quickly plunging into this rout. Many of the soldiers who didn't have time to avoid it all fell on this charging route, and when the male cavalry flew by, they became only a blurred and indistinguishable piece of flesh and blood on the ground!
The Qianhu camp is almost empty, and since yesterday they have always maintained a high offensive tempo, but the battalion defense is almost none. A few kneeless shallow trenches were not enough to repel the enemy, and the hastily arranged rejecting horses were first partially broken away by the front soldiers, and when the cavalry rushed closer, the few remaining ones were also smashed to pieces by the spears!
Probably he didn't expect that the southerners still had the courage to attack beyond the camp, and at this time, they would have to pay a heavy price for their arrogance of the enemy!
Because there were also a large number of cavalry in Qianhu, the camp was deep and open, and when Shen Mu and the others broke through the camp gate, the turmoil in the camp had been reduced. A large number of scattered soldiers were left behind, or they fled around the camp. As for those real Qihu soldiers, they really live up to the name of elite, and in such a chaotic and panicked situation, they have actually formed a battle formation in the camp, ready to contain and meet the invading enemy!
"Fools deserve death!"
There was no obstacle between each other, Shen Mu saw the soldiers and soldiers in front of him who were still converging, and he was already laughing loudly, urging his horsepower even more, and the knights on the nearby side were also more restrained in the charge, and slammed into the thick army formation in front of him!
More than 200 people in front of the horse armor, in the face of the sparse and messy arrows can be completely blind, all the way is just galloping, even if the enemy in front of the horse is not picked, they are also directly knocked away! The military formation, which was not very solid in the first place, was chiseled through in an instant!
The heavy cavalry crushing over was not the end of the nightmare, and there were still knights who rushed in and tore the rift even bigger, and the entire formation was already shattered, being pressed to the ground and trampled on repeatedly!
Shen Zhezi dispatched one after another, surrounded by hundreds of elite soldiers, although he was also tired and tired all night, but now he is still fighting to protect the young master. However, there was almost no battle along the way, and the scattered soldiers either fled around the formation, or rushed straight into the river, only the bloody road ploughed by iron hooves on the ground was eye-catching!
can't go to the front line to fight and kill the Qihu soldiers, Shen Zhezi doesn't have many regrets, he doesn't have the talent for martial arts, and he personally went out of the camp just to suppress the battle. Seeing the chaotic camp of Kahu that had been trampled and destroyed, he immediately sent people back to the camp and asked Lu Yong to organize a comprehensive counterattack!
There was a lot of commotion ahead, especially the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, which completely overpowered the noise of human speech. After bypassing a few collapsed tents, I saw that the camp of the slave cavalry had been washed away, and a large number of ownerless war horses were neighing and galloping. Perhaps the Qiang Nu cavalry is more skilled in riding and more mature in tactics, but the cavalry that charges up and the static are two different arms.
It's really a mess of punching the master to death!
The Karma Slave cavalry, which was originally the most worried, was actually crushed so easily, and Shen Zhezi knew that this victory opportunity had been locked, and he could already make a modest attitude and laugh and say that Huang Quan was defeated by the light enemy. This two devils think that they can scare themselves into quails by fighting day and night, and they can't shrink out? That's what happened to you!
The battle was not over, and Huang Quan, who quickly fought back after receiving the news, was rushing through the back camp covered with ashes, and saw Shen Mu's heavy cavalry galloping wantonly in the camp, trampling repeatedly. And his precious elite soldiers are no longer able to organize an effective counterattack at this time, and they are wandering around waiting to be cut!
"Abuse my son, the thief will take his life!"
What he saw made Huang Quan's heart like a knife, his eyes were torn, and he rushed forward to kill the most evil person!
"Good time!"
Shen Mu shook his lance and waved it horizontally, his flanks were no longer blocked, and the armored war horse faced Huang Quan who was rushing forward horizontally, and the lance was straight up. This lance pierced the horse's neck directly, and the rushing war horse suddenly tilted to the ground and rolled upside down, Huang Quan only felt that his vision suddenly flickered, his head hit the ground heavily, and the armor rubbed against the ground and broke in an instant, and then he completely fainted.
Shen Mu pulled out the war knife with his backhand, and was waiting for the horse to make up for it, but saw the opposite people and horses rushing out of more than a dozen armor soldiers, and there was no lack of regret to turn the horse, and then join the cavalry array, but saw that the person had been dragged out from the horse by the rescuer and retreated, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "This slave's status is not low!" ”
Having said that, he didn't chase after him anymore, but rushed to the dozens of recalcitrant ones on the side with the formation, fighting all the way!
"Don't get away with Huang Quan!"
At this time, Hurun and other victorious soldiers who were still fighting the enemy on the riverside had also left the formation to join the encirclement and suppression.
"That slave will be Huang Quan?"
When Shen Mu heard this shout, he realized that his movements suddenly froze, and he realized that the first achievement of this battle had passed by him, and there was no lack of chagrin in his heart. Fortunately, he had been paying attention to the direction of the other party's escape, and when he roared angrily and waved his sword like flying, and the wind swept away the nearby enemy, he beckoned to everyone: "Follow me to chase the enemy!" ”
It's no wonder that Shen Mu is careless, although the battle went well, but for Huang Quan, a fierce general who was once Shi Shilong's false son, Shen Mu still attaches great importance to it. Fang Cai has been paying attention to the battle, where would he have thought that the slave general would rush out of the oblique line, it was not his own enemy, but it was Huang Quan!
"Remove the vest!"
Rushing out of the camp all the way, but there was no trace of the thief's head in his field of vision, Shen Mu turned over and dismounted, directly removed the horse armor that severely restricted the horse's speed, and then got on the horse and chased wildly.
When Shen Zhezi and Lu Yong, who came later, converged and rushed to the rear, the killing had become a pursuit, and learned from the front knight that Huang Quan had escaped from the camp, and his eyebrows were also slightly frowned, signaling that all the soldiers and furniture were on the captured war horses, and at the same time ordered Hurun to quickly set up a fast boat, and chased after him by land and water: "If you don't take the head of the thief, you will never return to the camp!" ”
The soldiers responded with a bang, the joy of the great victory was inspiring, and even the fatigue after the fierce battle was swept away.
When Huang Quan woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the mountains and rivers swept back in his eyes, and the violent jolting made his bloody arms tear in pain, and he couldn't help but moan.
"The lord is awake, the lord is awake......"
The sound of surprise spread, and the panicked and desperate soldiers around them all turned their heads to look at the sound, and their pale cheeks gradually turned bloody. The Lord will wake up and give them a backbone again.
The rout temporarily paused in the valley ahead, and while he was dealing with his injuries, Huang Quan closed his eyes and listened to the generals tell him about what happened after he fainted. The camp has been broken, and everyone has broken away, fortunately in these elites, there is no shortage of victories, but there are also many experiences of rout, escorting Huang Quan all the way away, restraining the rout along the way, orderly in the chaos, at this time there are still more than 1,000 people nearby.
"If it weren't for the persecution of the southern thieves, there would be more audiences......"
When the general said this, his eyes were already full of ruthlessness and regret, and it was really painful to see many of the subordinates who could have been restrained being dispersed by the southern thieves who were chasing after him.
Huang Quan's state at this time was not good, half of his body was paralyzed and almost painless, he was unable to win his armor, and he recuperated for a moment before he said astringently: "This defeat is not a crime of war, the southern thief wins with a good armor alone, if it is ......"
"The Southern Thieves have caught up again!"
Before Huang Quan finished speaking, the rear ranger had already rushed back to the emergency report. Hearing this, Huang Quan's eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't wait to fight to the death with the southern thieves here, and he was careless for a while, but he was definitely not chased by these southern thieves killing dogs. But seeing that the left and right sides were tired, and the equipment was not complete, it was really unbearable to fight again.
"Get on the horse! Let's retire for the time being, and then fight the thief in the next day, and avenge this pain! ”
Huang Quan hated the order, but when he chose the direction of escape, he hesitated. The southern thieves monopolized the water conservancy, and if they still fled along the river, the future was worrying. However, they are now in the upper reaches of the water, and if they want to avoid the water, they can only go west, but the west is the way to come, and there will be Yuzhou troops at any time.
After pondering for a moment, Huang Quan immediately made a decision: "The edge of the river goes north!" ”
From here, further north, it is the direction of Huainan. Huang Quan naturally didn't want to flee to Huainan, after all, Huainan Peng Biao's malice towards him was not much less than that of the rear pursuers, so it was difficult to survive so desperately. But the pursuers behind him didn't know, he wanted to use the Huainan soldiers to deter the pursuers, wait until they were thrown away, and then turn elsewhere.
So the remnants of the army ran north along the river, but the escape lasted a whole day, and the southern thieves clung to their ranks, and the fast boats on the river kept coming at a gallop, but they were too late to go ashore to stop them.
But on the way to escape, there were still people who were left behind, because there were too few horses when they fled, and only about half of the more than 1,000 people had horses. At first, it was possible to ride two people together, but the horsepower inevitably suffered a lot. And the ride was changed to a wheel ride, and in the end, there were more and more people left behind, and the horses even had a surplus, but at the same time, there were horses out of strength!
Running wildly all the way, seeing the soldiers of the descendants disappearing behind him one by one, Huang Quan hated it in his heart. This is all tied to his net worth and life, and being so far away from the public is tantamount to cutting his body!
In the evening, the team was already able to change horses and flee, at the cost of a significant reduction in the number of soldiers, and there were only more than 300 people left beside Huang Quan! All of them were so tired that they almost couldn't stabilize their bodies and fell off their horses. Fleeing all the way, the southern thieves have always chased after him, and the depletion of physical strength is still second, and seeing his comrades fall behind one by one, his morale has fallen to the bottom.
Huang Quan had already changed to a third horse, he was seriously injured and could not ride alone, and he needed to ride with his own soldiers. He occasionally turned his head and saw the smoke and dust that was always entrenched in the back road, and his teeth were almost crushed, and he couldn't even hate it, what kind of opponent did he provoke? Don't you know that Huainan still has heavy military furnishings? How dare you chase after it so relentlessly!
By this time they had escaped from the water, there was no obvious reference in their field of vision, and the sun had gradually set. Huang Quan's originally dead state of mind flickered with hope, and he cheered up and said loudly: "The southern thief has no ability to fight in the field, and the night is a good opportunity to get rid of it!" There is no permanent victory in the world, and in the early years, Han Ling fought hard for his life, and he was able to become the master of all armies! Now it's just starting all over again, and I can't give up! ”
His shouting not only boosted morale, but also encouraged himself. As long as you can survive the current crisis, even if you only rely on a few hundred people around you, as long as you can break through a few dock walls, there is still hope for a comeback!
A moment before night completely fell, Huang Quan decisively ordered the soldiers to turn to the southeast, and Tu Zhong, who was a little more popular at the moment, was still his target, and he could only be caught up in the army again by surprise!
After running for more than half an hour in the night, the sound of the deadly pursuit that had been following him finally disappeared. Huang Quan and the others finally let go of their hanging hearts, found a secret place to rest, and killed horses for raw food.
"Who's here?"
Suddenly there was a loud shout in the night, like a signal, and then a high-pitched drum and trumpet sounded in the distance.
"If there is a poor manpower, there will always be a place to die......"
Fleeing all the way and suddenly relaxed, even Huang Quan himself was weak, unable to flee again, he looked at the sky, his mouth let out a miserable laugh, and there was no lack of regret in his heart, if he was not greedy the day before yesterday, he might not have this defeat...... The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, the night sky is cumulus, and the stars are not shining.
