Chapter 676: The Great Rout

The rapid and fast-paced sound of military trumpets resounded across the battlefield, and both sides in the fierce battle were stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info homeless people don't know what this means, Joan Navy soldiers are the first time to hear this military horn in actual combat, and some can't react.

It wasn't until the special combat team chased the old battalion all the way down the mountain like a tiger that everyone reacted. Seeing that the old camp was also defeated, the homeless people themselves could not attack it for a long time, so they had no intention of fighting, so they slowly began to fight and retreat; The Joan Navy soldiers mustered their strength to the sound of high-pitched military trumpets, raised their bayonets and began to countercharge. The two sides that were originally attacking and defending changed their mentality, and the offensive and defensive sides changed their positions.

The exile army relied on a strong force to fight, and there was no strict military discipline to restrain it, and once there were signs of retreat in a war against the wind, there would be signs of defeat like a mountain. At first, only the old camp ran away, and slowly the nearby homeless people also followed, and with the all-round counterattack of the Qiong navy, the entire homeless army at the foot of Qiuyu Mountain completely retreated. When it comes, it is like a rising tide, when it retreats, it is like a low tide, it comes and goes, tens of thousands of people retreat to the rear like a tide, and thousands of soldiers in red uniforms chase after it, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong never expected that the old battalion, which was originally a killer weapon, became the fuse of the rout of the whole army, and when the army of tens of thousands of people poured towards them like a tide, they couldn't accept this fact for a while: tens of thousands of people fought thousands of people, and they were defeated like this?

On the battlefield, once one side loses the will to fight and retreats disorganizedly, the battle will inevitably turn into a one-sided pursuit, even if the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge. Thousands of Qiong Navy with rifles, striding behind the army of homeless, like driving out the opponent like a sheep, although the number of homeless people is several times that of the other party, but there is not the slightest idea of turning around and resisting, there is only one thought in my heart, I want to run faster than the people next to me, let others be ghosts under the knife.

The rout retreated to the main formation, the crowd was surging, and the momentum was like a sea of mountains, and there was no such momentum when attacking, and it was about to swallow Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Jiang is still old and spicy, after all, he has suffered countless defeats, Gao Yingxiang quickly adjusted his mentality, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head and ran back. Losing the battle is not the worst, and then gather people and horses, change places to coerce the homeless, and still be able to make a comeback, if you are stupid here, trampled to death by the rout, then it is called injustice.

Zhang Xianzhong's reaction was half a beat slower, and he was still regretting his old battalion and the tens of thousands of troops that had been pulled up with great difficulty. Seeing that the crowd was about to devour him, a young general jumped on his horse, sat down in front of him, snatched the reins, and shouted, "Father-in-law, hurry up!" He pulled the reins, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and fled as fast as he could. A moment later, a surging stream of people swarmed and trampled the place beyond recognition.

Zhang Xianzhong came back to his senses, looked at it, and said gratefully: "Dingguo Wu'er, fortunately, you are clever, otherwise your father will be in danger!" ”

This young player, who is only a teenager, is Li Dingguo, one of his four righteous sons. Li Dingguo is the youngest of the Siyi brothers, and he has not led the troops to fight alone for the time being, but he is also very heroic in weekday combat, and he is very popular at a young age, and he is handsome, which is deeply loved by Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Dingguo held the reins in his hand, stared at the road ahead, and said without looking back: "It is natural for a child to save his father-in-law. It's just a matter of defeat, don't take it too seriously to your father-in-law, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed at himself: "I can't imagine that I want you to comfort this little guy when I'm old." Don't worry, my father can afford to put it down, how many years have we fought with the officers and soldiers, and it is not that we have not been defeated, and when the officers and soldiers stop chasing, let's gather the rout and start all over again. ”

However, the opponent was not as he wished, and this retreat was only four or five miles, but the officers and men showed no sign of withdrawing their troops, chasing and driving them all the way, and they held on to it.

During the chase, the weapons of the homeless fell to the ground, and everyone only thought about running faster and throwing away all the guys who could throw them, but even so, many people were physically exhausted and fell on the road, being trampled by thousands of people, and trampled into flesh. Even so, no one dared to stop to take a breath to replenish their strength, because the officers and men were always haunted behind, and if they slacked off, the bright bayonets could stab themselves in the heart at any time.

The drama of rout and pursuit has evolved from a 100-meter sprint to a marathon, which the exile army has never expected from top to bottom, and the defeat in the past against officers and soldiers is not that it has not been chased, but it is all cavalry to catch up, cut hundreds of heads and go back to report the merits, like this unreasonable with two legs all the way down has never been before. Officers and soldiers are also human beings, and their physical strength is also limited, and there are countless cases of being ambushed in the process of pursuing the Liukou, so they never dare to pursue so unscrupulously.

However, the Joan Navy is obviously not an ordinary officer and soldier, good training and nutrition allow the soldiers to have physical fitness far beyond their opponents, and strict discipline allows them to maintain their formation during the pursuit. Although the formation was somewhat scattered at the beginning of the charge, the officers of each battalion, company, platoon, and squad had already gathered their respective soldiers on the way, and the formation was maintained according to the formation, and almost no one was left behind. Maintaining a state of pursuit after defeating the opponent in order to drag down the Gao and Zhang coalition forces was a strategy formulated by the Military Aircraft Staff Office before the war, and only in this way could it slowly grind down the coalition forces ten times their own strength.

Not only were the soldiers chasing, but the commander Wei Lianheng, the commander Xia Nan and all the staff officers were following, but they were all on horseback. In the course of the pursuit, the situation can change at any time, and it is necessary to improvise.

In the summer, Nan mixed up in the equestrian club of the old time and space, and rode a decent horse, so it was not a big problem to run slowly. He looked at the rolling crowd in front of him and said regretfully: "If only we had a few thousand cavalry, we would catch up with a saber and wait, and the heads would be rolling, and we wouldn't need our soldiers to chase so their two legs." ”

After running for nearly ten miles, the war horses ridden by Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo were foaming at the mouth, obviously reaching the limit of their physical strength. Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but complain: "Thief, your mother, can't these officers and soldiers run to death?" The horses are running out of strength, and they are still chasing after them! ”

Li Dingguo jumped off the horse and said, "Father-in-law, I will dismount, you sit, at least less personal weight." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head: "It's useless, the horse is no longer good, and if you run again, you will die." He also jumped down and looked at the rear, "Dingguo, there are so many people and chaos right now, your brothers don't know where they are, you go and gather some people and horses, and go back and fight with the officers and soldiers!" I don't believe it, the officers and soldiers can still form a formation to meet the enemy after chasing so far. If you run like this, you will be tired to death! ”

Li Dingguo pulled out his sword and responded loudly: "Get the order!" ”

Li Dingguo is usually very popular in the army, and he shouted that even though most of the displaced people were so tired that they didn't want to move, there were still many people who dragged their heavy footsteps like lead and turned around behind him to attack the officers and soldiers.
