Chapter 990: Wenyang is defeated

After Wen Yang gave the order to retreat, the Jin army's attack wave finally stopped, which was equivalent to rescuing the Jin army from the Shu people's meat grinder, although the Shu army's wedge-shaped battle formation was still constantly advancing, but the number of Jin army's casualties has shown a significant downward trend, and with the overall retreat of the Jin army's formation, it will soon be disengaged from the Shu army and enter a safe distance.

At this time, Wen Yang was slightly relieved, and now he has no flawless statistics on how many people he has lost, and the most important thing now is how to stabilize his feet and not collapse across the board.

Wen Yang can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but the battle formation used by the Shu army this time is the first time he has seen it, when the war is not started, Wen Yang is only a little curious, but he does not take it to heart, whether it is an ordinary phalanx, or a wedge-shaped battle formation, in fact, everything is inseparable, as long as the Jin army can tear a hole, then it will naturally be a waterway.

Wen Yang did not doubt the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, especially the cavalry troops, which were never inferior in front of the Huns, who were also good at cavalry.

The Shu army was not used in the cavalry, and it had to be discharged in such a strange formation, which even the ancient soldiers had never used, and Wen Yang couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Yin's gourd.

But this doesn't matter, Wen Yang ordered the Jin army to rush in one breath and completely tear apart the defense line of the Shu army, regardless of whether it is a straight defense line or a wave-type defense line, after being broken through by the Jin army, there is naturally no need to exist.

But a strange scene happened, allowing the Jin army to rush up like a tide, and the wedge-shaped battle formation of the Shu army turned out to be immovable. If it is said that the Jin army in a certain place lacks attack power and cannot break through the defense of the Shu army, but on the battle line that stretches for several miles, the Jin army can't even open a gap, which shows that the strength of the Shu army's defensive shield is simply impossible to break through by the spear of the Jin army's attack.

The Jin army could not break through the battle formation of the Shu army, the result was naturally obvious, they were only crushed by the battle formation of the Shu army, how many Jin army losses were crushed into a blurred mass of flesh and blood under the battle formation of the Shu army, it is impossible to count now, but it is conceivable that the number is quite amazing.

Of course, Wen Yang couldn't sit still, the greater the losses of the Jin army, the more heartache it felt, Wen Yang understood that he had already lost this battle, no matter how much he tossed, it was destined to be impossible to redeem the defeat.

Now all he has to do is to reduce his losses and get out of contact with the Shu army as much as possible. Now the superiority of cavalry and light infantry is finally reflected, in the movement, they are more flexible than the hoplites of the Shu army, even if the hoplites of the Shu army speed up the attack, they still cannot catch up.

It's a pity that the flexibility of the Jin army was not used in the most appropriate occasions, and being flexible when retreating can reduce losses, but it can't affect the overall situation.

As for regaining strength and fighting again, Wen Yang didn't have this mind, the strength of the Shu army was beyond his expectations, in a short period of time, Wen Yang couldn't think of a way to break the enemy, and now Wen Yang's mind has been put on transfer, since it can't be done, it doesn't make much sense to stay in Pingyang anymore.

But before he could gather the army, the rear suddenly became chaotic, Wen Yang was startled, and asked why, and soon someone reported that the cavalry unit of the Shu army originally stationed on the west bank of Fenshui had been killed.

"Didn't this governor arrange for people to guard along the Fenshui coast, how could it be easily broken through by the Shu people?" Wen Yang looked very annoyed.

"General Qiyu, the cavalry of the Shu army did not cross the river directly from Pingyang, but from the Yangjiadu river thirty miles to the south, where our army's defense was empty and could not be stopped." The soldiers reported it truthfully.

Wen Yang was speechless, he did arrange people to guard Fenshui, but Fenshui is so long, let alone sending three or two thousand people, even if it is thirty or fifty thousand people, it can't be exhaustive, and all the river crossings are sealed, if the Shu army really detours to Yangjiadu, thirty miles away, to cross the river, the Jin army is indeed beyond the reach of the whip.

"The 3,000 people guarding Fenshui can be retreated, and there is no need to stay there now."

"General, they ...... They have been wiped out...... "The soldiers are spitting out."

Wen Yang had a look of surprise on his face, this was too unexpected, the cavalry of the Shu army attacked Gaoliangyi at the same time, and destroyed the Jin army stationed in Fenshui by the way, although three thousand people and horses are not much, but it is not too little, even if the cavalry of the Shu army is strong, it will be completely wiped out in such a short period of time, and the horror of combat power is beyond imagination.

The number of cavalry of this Shu army is not very large, and there are only about 15,000 people who have died, but at this time, on the rear line of the Jin army, it is rushing forward, sweeping everything, and no one in the Jin army dares to hold its edge, and they are defeated one after another.

The wedge-shaped battle formation is in the north, (.) The Tiger Cavalry Army is in the south, the south and the north are attacked from both sides, leaving the Jin army with not much room for survival, countless Jin soldiers are like headless flies, and they don't know whether to flee to the north or to the south, in the chaos, trampling on each other, countless casualties.

Wen Yang's face was pale, when this kind of confusion, his orders were not very good, it was not that the soldiers of the Jin army no longer obeyed him, but that the battlefield was chaotic, and the orders from Wen Yang could not be conveyed at all.

Liu Yin saw that the general trend of the Jin army had gone, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the wedge-shaped battle formation, and released the lightly armed infantry hidden behind the wedge-shaped battle formation, and carried out the final pursuit of the Jin army.

The light infantry was flexible and free, and could fight in formation, or fight alone, and with the offensive of the Tiger Cavalry Army in the south, the multi-road army of the Shu army began a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Jin army corps.

The rout of the Jin army was already irretrievable, and under the strong attack of the Shu army, the soldiers of the Jin army fled one after another.

Wen Yang's eyes were red, the spear in his hand shot out angrily, I don't know how many Shu soldiers and Shu generals were stabbed, but the Shu soldiers and Shu generals in front of him were like locusts and ants, killing them endlessly, except for them, no matter how brave Wen Yang was, he couldn't resist many people, his robe and armor were already stained with blood, and I don't know if it was his own blood or splashed with the enemy's blood, in short, Wen Yang was covered with blood all over his body, like a bloody person.

"General Wen, withdraw quickly, if you don't withdraw, it's too late!" Qi Hong also rushed left and right in the formation, and led a team of men and horses to rush to Wen Yang's side, helping him kill the Shu soldiers who surrounded him, and shouted loudly.

Wen Yang looked up to the sky and sighed, he lost this battle so aggrieved.
