Chapter 875: All the way to the east
It was the first time that Han Ji had experienced the disobedience of the soldiers under his command, and he was so angry that he roared loudly for the overseers behind him to replenish it, and he must suppress those routs, otherwise, it would definitely lead to the rout of the entire army.
The defeat has become a fact, and now Han Ji is thinking about how to reduce losses, preserve strength, and send the news of the opponent's air force back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. On the Purple Wind, Yu Jingqiu looked at the enemy's flag and asked Yuan Fang: "Brother-in-law, is the other party's commander still the same as before?" ”
Yuan Fang hesitated for a moment and then shook his head decisively and said: "No, send a team to destroy them, the number of the other party is too much, once they find a chance to fight back, it will not be good, destroy their command system first, and then slowly clean up the rest." ”
Yu Jingqiu also thought so, and immediately sent an order, and a five-plane formation flew towards Han Ji's location.
Han Ji's guards had been staring at the flying machines in the sky, and when they saw five airships coming towards their location, they reminded: "General Han, there is an enemy coming, let's retreat first." ”
Han Ji was furious when he heard this, he was trying his best to control the scene, how could he escape first, this kind of thing must not be the first to take the lead.
However, Han Ji forgot that their enemy was not an ordinary enemy, but an enemy who could not be threatened by flying in the sky, and it was extremely fast, when Han Ji reacted and looked up at the sky, the dense little black dots fell on his head and face, and then, a series of explosions sounded, Han Ji and the ground dozens of meters away from his house instantly turned into a sea of fire, the military flag was burned into ashes, Han Ji and his personal guards were lucky to be killed directly, unfortunately, struggling in the sea of fire, The fine armor they had long admired was useless at this time, and they were burned with their masters.
The main general was killed, and he would rather the morale of the imperial army fall to the bottom, without the suppression of Han Ji, there were more and more deserters, and finally even the gendarmes of the supervising team joined them, hugging their heads and running around, trying to dodge the airships in the air to save their lives, in the face of death, few people can face it calmly, survival, it is human instinct, this is not ashamed, and there is nothing to blame, but as soldiers, they are incompetent, of course, there are not many people who are competent, if the positions of the two sides are reversed, it is estimated that the soldiers of the Dongsheng Empire are the same, Even more.
Rather have 150,000 troops outside Yanhai City, 150,000 people, not just a hundred airships can be annihilated, at this time, the opponent's position is in chaos, the main general is killed, and the soldiers retreat, it is the best time for the cavalry to fight. Yuan Fang handed over the command to Chang Xun, and Chang Xun, who had been impatient for a long time, made a quick decision and ordered the Tiger Roar Legion under his command to attack.
10,000 heavy cavalry was already ready to go, after receiving the order, they did not hesitate to attack, turning into a torrent of steel and rushing towards the left flank of the enemy.
The Tiger Roar Legion moved, followed by the cavalry units of the Dongzhou Army, this time Tang Jian transferred all the cavalry under his command here, in order to pursue the rout, of course, the cavalry is the most suitable. All the cavalry were sent out by Tang Jian, and he looked at the battlefield with lingering fears, and Tang Jian lamented softly: "War, it's so cruel. Then, he gave an unhurried order: "Li Rui, Yu Zhan, the two of you will advance with 10,000 infantry, clean up the battlefield, collect the booty, especially the grain and grass in their barracks, you must protect it, and the others, according to the plan, will be divided into two routes." Qin Yang, you lead 50,000 people to attack Yunfu County, Your Highness Dugu Zhen, how about you and your troops follow me to attack the county seat? ”
Dugu Zhen smiled gently: "Obey General Tang's arrangement." ”
Tang Jian smiled faintly, waved his hand and gave the order to go. The battle here is not over yet, Tang Jian has already divided his troops to attack Yunfu and the county town, which sounds a bit incredible, but the plan is like this, in one go, take Yunfu and the county town, recapture Lihua County, and then continue to the east into Guangyuan County, and then it depends on how the battle situation in the north is decided.
Wuxi County, Dongzhou, Yuqing's debut is not as gentle as Yuan Fang, and gives the other party time to prepare, Yuqing's style is vigorous and resolute, the ground troops have just arrived at the predetermined position, and before they have time to take a breath, Yuqing led two hundred airships to make a brilliant debut, not waiting for the enemy to leave the camp, in the past it was a burst of bombardment, most of the ground troops came from the imperial capital's royal forbidden army, first was shocked, and then followed, surrounded the opponent's military camp, came to close the door and beat the dog urn to catch turtles, come out to cut one, come out to kill a group.
Before the commander of the invading army of the Yuanhe Empire could put on his armor, he was engulfed by a large number of incendiary bombs falling from the sky, and he hung up without even showing his face.
The dragons were leaderless, and the grassroots officers could not control the chaotic scene, and Yuqing's tactics were in the center again, and began to radiate and bomb from the middle of the enemy camp, and the result was that the soldiers of the Yuanhe Empire fled from the barracks with their heads in their hands, and faced them with the army's bows and arrows and the strangulation of the cavalry.
There are only 50,000 horses on the side of the Yuanhe Empire in Wuxi County, and they were dumplings by Yuqing and the ground troops, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers chose to surrender after more than half of the casualties.
Miserable, quite tragic, this is just for the Yuanhe Empire, the Dongsheng Empire has almost no losses, such a battle is a massacre, but the Yuanhe Empire deserves it.
The battle in Wuxi County was crisp and neat, ending faster than Yuan Fang's side, Yuqing was decisive and neat, and immediately ordered to advance to the north, and the ground troops followed behind them to advance to Rizhao County and Wei County, cutting off the retreat of the invaders, and continuing to use the tactics of closing the door and beating the dogs.
At the same time, the defenders of Huiyuan County and Honggu County in Dongping County and the forbidden army hidden nearby converged to attack Chima County in Dongzhou.
Then, the twenty airships sent by Yuqing arrived, and after making contact with the ground forces, the air and land jointly attacked the fortification, first the air force bombarded the city wall, so that the invaders of the Yuan and Empire did not dare to enter the city, and then, the forbidden army set up a ladder to climb the warm city wall, and condescendingly started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
At this time, the two sides are in a scuffle, and the air force naturally can't drop incendiary bombs anymore, but they can go and bomb other places, such as the military camp inside the city wall and the enemy troops a little farther away from the city wall, and attack them from behind.
