Chapter 1392 Wild Escape
In the wilderness, the soldiers of Wu were mixed in one place and fled south in a hurry.
The Wu soldiers discarded their guns and spears, and many of them took off their cotton armor and helmets, and the entire north of Lishan was a defeated army.
Wu Sangui saw that the situation was not good, and gave up the useless attack on Li Guozhong's army, he saw that he was in the middle of the battle, and the Ming army on the left and right flanks had already driven the Jin army to the foot of Lishan Jiao, and it was impossible for the southern front to regain a stable position, and the general trend had already collapsed, so he chose to break through and flee the battlefield.
At this time, the Wu army in the wilderness was running wildly in the field, shouting and killing behind him, and countless red figures were shouting and chasing after him.
The defeated army fled south in a panic, and generals such as He Chengzhi and Wang Pingfan intended to stabilize their positions on the front line of Lishan, and several Jin generals erected general flags in the rout, wanting to collect the defeated army and prevent the rout from continuing to flee.
The soldiers of the Wu army who lost their courage bypassed them one after another, He Chengzhi and others were like wooden stakes nailed into the river, the rout was flowing water, flowing away from them, and they couldn't stop the defeated army at all.
"Not good! It's over! Behind He Chengzhi, hundreds of rout soldiers gathered, and suddenly one of them pointed to the front and exclaimed loudly.
These hundreds of defeated troops who were not in good clothes, holding spears, and standing behind He Chengzhi with a banner, looked up and saw that a group of Jin army cavalry fled south around Lishan, and suddenly appeared behind them, a red wave, it didn't take a moment to kill in front of them.
"Run!" Many defeated soldiers were in an uproar, and the flag-bearers threw away the flags, and hundreds of defeated soldiers suddenly dispersed.
In just an instant, the few people He Chengzhi managed to gather were only a dozen or so guards.
"General run!" One of the soldiers had fear on his face and couldn't help but say urgently.
He Chengzhi had already seen that the cavalry that had just bypassed Lishan and fled south was the horse army led by Wu Sangui. Now Wu Sangui has not been able to stop the Ming army, and has fled in a hurry.
At this time, a large red figure appeared in front of them, and the Ming army followed the defeated army of the Wu army, and the Jin army's infantry army had no chance to reorganize and rebuild the defense line.
When He Chengzhi hesitated, Wang Pingfan, who was ordered to rein in the defeated army not far away, saw that the general situation was collapsing, and he had already stomped his feet and pulled the horse south.
On the battlefield, thousands of cavalry galloped in front, and tens of thousands of Ming infantry troops behind rushed south.
Since the southern front was defeated, Li Guo had to intersperse the past with Lintong County, the rear of the Jin army, to the west before Hauge could retreat, and cut off the road for the Jin army to withdraw to Chang'an.
If the movement is slow and Hauge is allowed to run, then although the Jin army is defeated, the vitality is still there.
The Jin State is not like the Manchu Qing Dynasty without a public opinion base, it has been established for more than ten years, stabilized the Guanzhong and resumed production, so that the Jin State has a certain foundation in the Guanzhong, not like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, once it fails, it will be on fire everywhere and turn against the people.
After this battle, if the Ming army does not want to fight Chang'an City, then it must try to annihilate the main force of the Jin army, so that the Jin army has no strength to defend Chang'an.
At this time, the Ming army had chased more than ten miles, and the sun was past noon, but the soldiers forgot about hunger and fatigue, and did not intend to give up the pursuit.
The thousands of cavalry in front of them were already red-eyed, and the horses passed by, leaving corpses everywhere. The cavalry continued to rush into the rout, slashing and slashing, and the saber in his hand was full of enemy blood. The Jin soldiers who were fleeing, looked back and saw the cavalry rushing up again, they couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time there was some grief and indignation in their hearts, "Straight mother thief, do you really want to kill them all!" ”
On the battlefield, the cavalry galloped, everyone stared at the prey in front of them, and the spears in their hands were retracted, ready to get close and then stab out.
A cavalry general, riding forward, stabbed an escaping infantry to the ground, quickly drew his spear again, and aimed at the fleeing Jin army general in front.
The Jin general felt the threat behind him, crouched on the horse's back and galloped, the Ming army general's eyes were cold, and the spear in his hand was directly projected, the spear failed to shoot the Jin general, over the top of his head, inserted on the ground in front of the war horse, the spear shaft vibrated again and again, making a buzzing sound.
Jin Jiang and the war horse were frightened at the same time, the horse neighed, the front hooves hung high in the air, and almost threw the Jin Jiang off the horse's back, the Jin will use his legs hard, clamp the horse's belly, and control the reins with his hands vigorously, the war horse neighed a few times, and the front hooves fell heavily.
He was just about to beat his horse and gallop away, when a strong wind hit behind him, and the young Ming General had already galloped behind him, and with a wave of his saber, he dropped Jin Jiangzhan off his horse.
This Ming general is called Gao Ruixin, the second son of Gao Yigong, and unconsciously, the second generation of generals in the Ming army has begun to emerge in the army.
Behind the cavalry, Li Guo led the army, followed closely, he saw Lishan from a distance, and couldn't help but whip and said: "Order, the front army will take Lishan, don't let the Jin army reorganize the defense line." ”
To the south of Lishan, Li Benshen soon bumped into the defeated and fleeing Jin army, but when the Jin soldiers saw this reinforcement force of nearly 10,000 people, they were not at ease, let alone stop, and walked past them one after another.
Seeing this, Li Benshen grabbed a member of the Jin Army Qianhu Official, who only cared about fleeing for his life, and didn't see who pulled him, his instinctive hand shook off, wanting to break away, who knew that Li Benshen had great strength, grabbed his arm but didn't move.
"What are you doing, looking for death!" Qianhu couldn't help but be furious, and looked at each other angrily, but when he turned his head, he did hear a sound of drawing his sword, and several elite soldiers, standing behind the general who captured him, pulled out half of their swords one after another, and scolded angrily: "Do you want to die, dare to be rude to our army!" ”
The thousand households suddenly froze, their necks shrank, they were startled, and they apologized awkwardly, but Li Benshen didn't care about this, and hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "What's the situation behind, what about your King of Shu?" ”
Qianhu replied: "The situation behind is not clear. The trolls of the Ming army were very powerful, and as soon as our infantry army engaged, they were shot and defeated by the Ming army. The king of Shu is still behind, and I seem to have seen Ma Jun's brother fleeing south on a detour, and it is estimated that the prince has also been defeated. ”
When Li Benshen and the generals heard this, their faces couldn't help but sink, and the soldiers behind him were a little flustered.
Seeing this, the thousand households couldn't help but whisper: "This military gate has come to reinforce us, I don't know how many people and horses have been brought?" ”
Li Benshen's face was gloomy, he didn't answer, and said behind him: "We have 10,000 people." ”
When Qianhu heard this, he shook his head with a miserable laugh, and pointed to the back, "There are 120,000 Ming troops chasing behind, and I would like to advise the generals to flee quickly!" ”
Li Benshen's face changed, and he waved his hand to drive away the thousand households, and many generals surrounded him, looking at him with a heavy face, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Junmen, we~"
Li Benshen raised his hand to stop the general from continuing, and he looked at the fleeing Jin army and hurried south from them. These people were already in chaos and looked embarrassed, and he had already reached the north of Lishan when he heard the shouts of killing, and the gathering was about five or six miles.
At such a close distance, no one broke off, and once the Ming army caught up, these tens of thousands of routs would all be finished.
"On Lishan Mountain, it can be blocked for a while, and you have to buy time for Your Majesty to retreat!" Li Benshen held the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, and suddenly waved his hand and said.
The generals wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, no one objected to his opinion. Li Benshen is the nephew of Gao Jie, Xuzhou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then fought in the south and the north, and was a more capable team in the green camp. After the Central Plains War, he retreated into Tongguan with Meng Qiaofang, and was named Dingdong Hou by Haoge, the chief military officer of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was highly valued.
Gao Jie Zhen under several troops and horses, the combat power is relatively strong, after retreating to the Jin country, and has been supplemented and cared for, in recent years than in the Qing Dynasty, the life is much better, not only in the material, mainly in the spirit is valued, plus the national policy is moderate, so their loyalty to Jin is relatively high.
After Li Benshen finished speaking, seeing that all the generals were silent, he didn't say much, and directly turned over and got on the horse, and the generals could only follow one after another.
At this time, the Li soldiers who were walking in front kept shouting, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
The fleeing Jin army, when they found this retrograde group of men and horses, couldn't help but get out of the way, with a strange look in their eyes.
"Look at what, someone is blocking the thief for us, don't you want to run away, do you want to die in the hands of the thief." A flag team, seeing a soldier under him, standing on the side of the road stunned, pushed it, and scolded angrily.
The soldier reacted when he heard this, looking at the friendly army that was going against the rout, the soldier admired their courage and had a desire to walk with them, but after all, his own life was more important.
At this time, the soldiers of Li Bu ran quickly, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts, but at the same time they had a trace of pride······
