Chapter 343: Victory and Defeat in a Thought
The wind and snow are sudden, there are patches of light in the sky, and Lu Yifan, who is running away in embarrassment, can finally see his troops clearly, that is really a cry without tears, in the field of vision, there are all soldiers who have lost their armor and abandoned their flag sticks, scurrying all over the mountains, some of them are running and making hoarse screams, and some of them are running and running directly into the yellow grass piles, half of their buttocks are pouted high, and more are running to the mountains on both sides, but no one has walked on the mountain for many days, the snow is extremely deep, once the road is turned away, one foot downThe snow was barely knee-high, and it was still moving.

Seeing these soldiers being slashed to death by the people chasing behind him, and blood splattered on the spot, Lu Yifan was so depressed that he wanted to scream. Behind him, the excited Shuncheon sergeants screamed, and some even took off their steps forward, brandishing swords and guns shirtless, wantonly slashing and slashing the rebels who had lost their fighting spirit as they ran.
"Dazhu, Dazhu, you damn it, where the hell are you?" The only thought in Lu Yifan's heart at this time was the Taiping Army general who should appear to answer him, Dazhu.
Bypassing this mountain, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a large flat white bounding area appeared in front of Lu Yifan, which was the frozen Pingdu River, but what made Lu Yifan even more ecstatic was that it was another scene that appeared in that white world. An army of strong elephants, like a forest of swords and guns, stood in front of him.
"Go both ways, go both ways!" At this time, Lu Yifan finally remembered his responsibility as a commander, he stopped, waved the big knife in his hand, and shouted desperately.
At this moment, you must not run in front of the lineup that the big pillar has already listed, that will disrupt the lineup of the big pillar, and the big pillar will be a merciless round of arrow rain, shooting his own soldiers who have survived with great difficulty.
The deserters were sober-headed, and at this time they felt that they had split in two, and ran to the flanks, while some of them were dizzy, but they were still fleeing forward like flies.
Suddenly, the rumbling drums sounded, and a thunderous cry resounded through the heavens and the earth.
"Go on both sides, go on both sides!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, and those deserters who had been frightened out of their courage were finally awakened by such a loud voice, stopped, looked up, and saw their own military flag fluttering in the distance, the expression on their faces did not know whether to cry or laugh, and after hesitating for a moment, they finally ran towards both sides.
The drums beat again, and the loud shouts rang out again.
"Forward, forward!"
More than 5,000 rebels began to advance slowly under the command of Dazhu, and the whole formation was in the shape of a triangular pyramid, and at the front were 500 Qin Feng's personal soldiers. Dressed in black armor, holding a large knife, his face is expressionless. Behind them, five thousand Shuntian rebels lined up in a dozen triangular pyramidal formations, closely following the vanguard at the forefront.
Bao Hua slammed his horse, looked at the neat-looking army that appeared in front of him, and the queue that slowly advanced was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which happened to fall on his head.
And what made him even more frightened was the team at the front, black armor, a unified style of broadsword, silent and expressionless like a zombie, this team he had seen, it was the Taiping Army.
"Taiping Army!" He screamed.
Beside him, the soldiers of the Suncheon Army who were chasing after him rushed forward like a tide, chasing too fiercely to stop him.
The long neighing of the war horse sounded beside him, and a horse man stood beside Bao Hua, with a bang, the two front hooves stepped heavily on the snow, and then Ma Zhe's voice was a little frightened: "Where did the army come from?" ā
"Taiping Army, Taiping Army!" Bao Hua heard the sound of his teeth tapping up and down, for him, the experience that the other army's army had given him was too terrifying.
"The Taipings?" Ma Zhe shouted loudly: "Why are they here? ā
In just a few words of conversation between the two generals of the Shuntian Army, the two sides have collided heavily together, and the Shuntian Army, which was still like a bamboo, and the military heart was like snow under the sun, melting in front of the black lineup, a big knife was raised, chopped down, and blood and flesh were splashed.
"Go, go, retreat, quick, go back to Pingdu City. The rebels have long been in collusion with the Taipings. Bao Hua shouted, turned the horse's head, turned around and left.
"Ring the gong, sound the gong and withdraw the troops!" Ma Zhe also shouted, and the two generals almost did not distinguish between them, turned around and fled.
In the middle of the night, the two armies changed their offensive and defensive positions, and the pursuers became fugitives, while the people who had fled for their lives were now transformed into life-takers.
However, the state of the two sides at this time is very different, before, Lu Yifan's troops fled, at least in terms of physical strength, and the Shuntian army that pursued him was not much different, everyone fought first, and then fled. The black light is blind, and both sides can't run fast, but now it's different, staying up in the middle of the night, running, the physical strength of both sides is almost to the limit of the body, at this time another army that has been recuperating for a long time suddenly kills, for the other side, the blow is not only physical, but also psychological.
"Kill the enemy freely, chase freely!" Dazhu roared sharply, at this time, it seems that it is no longer necessary to maintain a tight formation, the enemy's physical strength has reached the limit, the previous desire for victory supports their bodies, now, it is more appropriate to describe them with the end of the strong crossbow.
The state shown by Lu Yifan's department before appeared on the soldiers of the Shuntian Army in an instant, but at this moment, it was already dark, and it was not easy to pout his ass and learn from the turtle.
Halfway up the road, some of the rebel soldiers who had fled earlier had fallen behind and had fallen behind on one side, and before they had recovered from the joy of escaping from death, they saw that the Shuntian army, which had been chasing them like wolves, had fled back the same way in panic and shouting, while their own flags were fluttering in the wind in the rear.
They were stunned for a moment with their mouths wide open, but suddenly they jumped to their feet, picked up their weapons from their sides, and shouted out from the flanks and cut into the ranks of the fleeers.
These people are not numerous, but they are enough to cause even more chaos for the Suncheon army.
"The Taiping Army is coming, the Taiping Army is coming." Bao Hua's lips trembled in the run, and he kept reading this sentence, feeling remorseful in his heart, if he had known that the Taiping Army had united with the rebels in front of him, he would not have gone to battle if he was killed, but now, it was too late, looking back behind him, the army with the previous morale had already collapsed at this moment, and he could even see the army in black armor, which was not far from him, and many of his own armies were even thrown away at this moment.
"It's over, it's over, if the army suffers serious losses, will Pingdu City still be able to hold it? If Pingdu City can't be defended, then the rebels can directly attack under Changyang County, and more importantly, if the rebels are allowed to come under Changyang County, the supplies gathered in the county will not be able to be transported to the other two armies, if this is the case, will the Shuntian army be far from defeat? ā
His heart was like a poisonous snake biting, and at this time, he suddenly remembered Jiang Tao's advice, don't go to war, just stick to Pingdu City. Why don't you listen, why don't you listen?
"General Bao!" Ma Zhe's frightened voice suddenly came from beside him. "Pingdu City, Pingdu City!"
Looking up at Pingdu City that appeared in front of him, the city was still the same one, but the flag fluttering above the city was no longer the banner of the Shuntian Army that he was familiar with, but now it was the military flag of the Taiping Army flying on the head of the city, and they had unscrupulously played their own military flag.
At the head of the city, a black-robed general with a large sword and his legs spread out on the battlements was looking down on them condescendingly.
"It's gone, it's gone!" Ma Zhe said in despair, and Bao Hua beside him was even more stunned, everything was a trap, all to lure them out of the city, but now I understand what is the use? But it wasn't his fault, if he had known that the Taiping army had hooked up with the rebels a long time ago, he would never have gone to war. This is all because the information above is unknown, so that he planted such a big heel, if there is only Lu Yifan on the opposite side, then the victory must belong to himself.
"Go back to the county town, go back to the county town!" He screamed frantically.
With a handful of horses, Bao Hua walked around the city, stepped on the ice of the Pingdu River, and ran towards the opposite bank. Behind them, groups of routed soldiers followed their generals, spreading their legs and running wildly towards the pair.
But Bao Hua chose the wrong boundary to cross the river, in the panic he forgot that in the past few days when he first arrived in Pingdu, his soldiers have been digging ice, the ice surface of this section of the Pingdu River, under their efforts, the thickness of the river ice here, far less than other places, when thousands of people stepped on this ice and ran together, cracks gradually appeared on the ice, with the intensification of the vibration, the cracks gradually expanded, click, with a scream, a large area of ice suddenly exploded, The soldiers on top fell into the glacier like dumplings, and disappeared without a trace.
The ice continued to burst, the soldiers continued to disappear, the ice in front of them disappeared, revealing the rushing river, but the soldiers behind were still running forward, pushing, and the rows of Suncheon soldiers who stopped were directly pushed down the river by the huge pushing force.
Bao Hua finally jumped on the embankment on the other side, looking back behind him, the ice was disappearing in sections, and his soldiers were disappearing in large areas, and there were only more than a thousand people who could follow him ashore, and the others were either swallowed up by the glacier, or they were left on the other side and were being wantonly killed by the enemy.
Ma Zhe was like a mourner, and his whole body was almost collapsed on the horse, wanting to cry without tears. "I said you can't go out of the city, you can't go out of the city, you have to go out of the city, now it's over, everything is over."
Bao Hua Huoran turned his head and looked at Ma Zhe beside him, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the knife in his hand was raised silently, and it was inserted into Ma Zhe's ribs with a bang.
"You ......." Ma Zhe only had time to spit out a word, and as the knife in Bao Hua's hand was withdrawn, he fell off the horse with a thud, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't bat an eye. (To be continued.) )
