Chapter 527: Hunting in the Wild (3)

The front of the right flank of the grass army was full of swords like snow and spears, and the right wing army of the grass thieves was cut down one by one.

Under Wang Xianzhi's escape without a fight, the right wing completely collapsed, and no one turned back to face the battle at all. The already weak right-wing army was swept away by gusts of wind at this time, like withered leaves.

The grass spears were broken and broken, and one by one they fell.

Under the ferocious blow of the Tang army's elite forces to storm the right flank, they were vulnerable. The entire 20,000 horses on the right flank, like the beautiful but fragile celadon, made a crisp sound, and shattered into countless pieces with a clatter.

Wang Xianzhi led the cavalry to leave in the wilderness, he did not move closer to the Chinese army, nor did he move closer to the rear army, but directly left the battlefield and ran away towards the Juye camp. Tang rode and chased after them, and before they could flee the battlefield, they had already been torn apart and crushed.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was very delicate and complicated, and the front army of the grass army, under the leadership of the three brothers Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba, and Huo Cun, had already rushed into the front army camp of the Tang army, and was fighting with the forward of the Tang army. And their right wing has collapsed rapidly. Not only that, but the middle and rear armies of the grass army were also cut by an elite Tang cavalry at this time.

The situation of the grass army is very much, the middle and rear armies have been cut off, the right flank has been crushed, the front army has fallen into the Tang army's glaive formation, and is in a situation of being semi-surrounded, and their middle army is now facing the situation of being surrounded by the Tang army.

On the battlefield, Huang Chao's face was pale, and his fists were clenched tightly. In his opinion, this battle is not without the possibility of victory. But Wang Xianzhi disappointed him too much. This damn guy actually escaped. When the Don cavalry first stormed the right flank. He watched as Tang Qi rushed past them. Broke through the unprotected right-wing auxiliaries and cut into the gap between the middle army, the rear army, and the right wing.

And when the Tang army used the right flank as a breakthrough point to kill, this guy fled directly without a fight. Wang Xianzhi's escape not only broke through the right flank of the grass army, but also caused the morale of the grass army to drop to the lowest point because of his escape from the grass army, and the entire Chinese army was panicked.

For a while, the generals of the Grass Army and the Chinese Army all set their eyes on Huang Chao, the commander of the battlefield.

Huang Chao was angry in his heart. But he tried his best to hide it all. It's about smiling on your face. He is the commander of the whole army, and he must not panic at this time. Otherwise, this army could fall apart in an instant.

"Hahaha!" Huang Chao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and everyone who laughed was inexplicable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our chance has come. Wang Dutong had just successfully defeated and lured the main force of the Tang army away. Now, the Tang Army in front of us is empty, and our opportunity has arrived. Brothers, take up your swords and fight with me. Break through the positions of the Don Army in one fell swoop! ”

For a moment, many people will be skeptical. Wang Dutong didn't flee without a fight, but lured away the main force of the enemy army by deception? Is that really the case? With the experience of Wang Xianzhi's defeat and escape in Songzhou, many grass army soldiers did not believe this statement.

However, this explanation still boosted the morale of the grass army a lot. Anyway, now they can only hope that things will be like this, hoping to follow Deputy Huang to defeat the Tang army and reverse the defeat.

The trumpets sounded, the war drums thundered, the time for a counteroffensive came, and the grass army was boiling.

At this time, the Chinese army of the grass army not only did not turn around to support the rear army, nor did it turn around to recapture the right flank, but directly moved forward with the whole army, and the whole line went forward to cover the past.

The teams of grass thieves from all walks of life, like a flood bursting the embankment, rushed towards the Tang army, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering!

Throughout the battlefield, a wonderful scene began to emerge.

The Tang army gathered more than half of its soldiers and horses, followed the gap opened by the right flank of the grass thief, broke through the right flank, and killed the rear army of the grass thief.

However, the grass army ignored this, but gathered the elite soldiers and horses of the Chinese army, stepped forward bravely, reinforced the elite of the front army, and the soldiers and horses on the left flank, and stormed the Tang army's position under the Juye Mountain.

The two armies fought their own battles from morning to afternoon, fiercely fighting. The two sides fought fiercely for almost a day, and the Tang army was even better. They had long known that there would be a big battle today, so they rested for half the night yesterday and had dinner before dawn.

But the grass army was not good, they had eaten dry food after dark yesterday, and they traveled forty miles by night, and until now, the water and rice have not entered, and they are tired and hungry.

Although they attacked desperately and fought the Tang army back, the Tang army was defeated all the way, but it only retreated, let alone dispersed. Moreover, the position of the Tang Army was chosen to be on the east side of Juye Mountain, with its back to Juye Mountain. Although it was retreating all the way, in such terrain, the grass army could not outflank the Tang army from the side.

The sky was getting dark, and Huang Chao's voice was hoarse. He was making a big gamble, gambling on the lives of 150,000 grass soldiers and on his dream of a great cause.

He himself knows very well that Wang Xianzhi is not a deception at all, let alone a bullshit lure the enemy. He knew very well that Wang Xiancao's straw bag had been frightened by the officials and soldiers. With only one banner of the Zhenguo Army, this straw bag was frightened and fled. He didn't believe that Li Jing had arrived here, even if it was a small army sent by Li Jing.

The most striking feature of the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army is that all men and horses are wearing leather armor, and they are equipped with the most special sabers and crossbow machines, but the cavalry under the banner of the Zhenguo Army just now did not see these characteristics at all. Therefore, he decided that it was definitely not the Zhenguo Army that came to attack, but the officers and soldiers of the Six Towns under the banner of the Zhenguo Army. As for why he did this, of course, it was because Wang Xianzhi's straw bag was defeated by Li Jing, and he broke Wang Xianzhi's 100,000 army in a battle.

Now he was gambling, he had abandoned both his rear and right armies. Taking this as a bet, the Grass Army can be one step ahead of the official army and break through the Tang Army's array and fight its way out of the encirclement. As long as he broke through the Tang army's array head-on, even if he couldn't turn back and destroy the official army, as long as he fought his way out of the encirclement, it didn't matter if he lost the rear army and the right army. After all, the rear army is all auxiliaries, and the right wing is full of Wang Xianzhi's men.

It's just that the Tang army on the front line fought very bravely, and seeing the grass army desperately attacking, they immediately turned to attack and defended, and lined up in a dense defensive phalanx against the cavalry, with shield soldiers and spearmen in front, and archers in the back, resolutely blocking. It was like an iron wall that adhered to the big iron shield array, and countless spears shining with glow stretched out from the gaps in the shield array, dense as a forest. The archers kept pulling their bows from behind their shields and firing them, and the arrows rained down.

In the face of the defense of the official army, Huang Chao completely ignored the heavy casualties, launched an uninterrupted offensive like a tide, and took turns to rush into battle. With countless lives, he insisted on beating the front of the officers and soldiers back continuously.

However, the tenacity of the Tang army far exceeded his expectations, and by now, the Tang army had retreated at least two miles, but they were not defeated, and the formation was still strong.

The morale of the grass army is getting lower and lower!

At this moment, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from behind. Huang Chao's face changed drastically, and he turned his head to look, but saw that the right wing and the rear army, totaling 80,000 people, had completely collapsed under the impact of the Tang army.

The Don Army, having routed the right flank and the rear army, copied from the rear of the Chinese army and outflanked the Chinese army.

Under the banner of the Zhenguo Army, Zhuge Shuang, Cui Anqian, Du Xian and other generals led their troops to advance slowly. The Tang army stopped 200 steps in front of the rear formation of the grass army, Cui An dive shouted, and the bloodied Zhu Wen brothers escorted a row of officers of the rear army of the grass army forward, and even Meng Kai, the deputy general of Huang Chao, was captured.

A group of senior generals of the rear army of the grass army were escorted to the front of the battle one by one and were called by the loud voice.

The flag of the Zhenguo Army fluttered, and the general of the rear army of the grass army was captured, this series of changes made the morale of the grass army completely fall to the bottom of the mud, and everyone understood at this time. Regardless of whether Wang Dutong was really defeated and lured the enemy before, but now, the rear road and the right army are really finished.

All of a sudden, the people were panicked and the army was depressed!

"The three I recognize, when I was fighting in Yucheng, Songzhou, I saw them, they were from the Zhenguo Army, and they were selected by the Zhenguo Army, I recognize them." Suddenly, in the formation of the grass army, a 'general' who had fled into the Chinese army after the rout of the right flank just now shouted loudly, pointing at Zhu Wen and shouting in fear.

"Do you see clearly, they are really from the Zhenguo Army?" Someone next to him heard about it and hurriedly said in fear. Just now, Deputy Huang said that the enemy army was only flying the banner of the Zhenguo Army, and the Zhenguo Army was not here, but in Yanzhou. Now I heard that the officers under the banner of the Zhenguo Army were the officers of the Zhenguo during the Battle of Songzhou, how could they not be surprised.

"I swear to the heavens that they are the ones of the Zhenguo Army, and the Zhenguo Army chooses the front army."

The grass army was in an uproar for a while, and the Tang army was still outflanking, and everyone in the grass army was terrified.

At this time, Cui An submerged that the morale of the grass thieves had been lost and thought that the time had come. The order was immediately given, and the cavalry charged the grass army, followed by the infantry.

The whining horn sounded again, and the Tang Army's main formation under Juye Mountain also sounded the horn in response at this time. Suddenly, the Tang army flanked the grass army in front!

The grass army had no intention of fighting again, and was immediately dispersed after a slight impact by the Tang army. Under the chaos of the army, the offensive of the grass army collapsed, and the whole army fell into a chaotic rout. At this time, the Tang army was full of spirits, taking advantage of the victory to launch a comprehensive counterattack, and the offensive was like a tide, killing from noon to dark, on the battlefield for dozens of miles, chasing and killing for half a day, and beheading more than 30,000 people at one time.

Huang Chao also knew that the general trend was gone, and his resentment was unstoppable, but he had to run away. Along the way, Huang Chaoshu raised the handsome banner and wanted to reorganize the soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Shuang led the cavalry to kill again.

Zhuge Shuang's initial task was to attack the enemy's right flank, but when he saw an opportunity, he went directly to the Chinese army, wanting to kill the general and capture the flag. Later, the Chinese army could not do anything, and then killed the rear army, and he was also a bold man. At the moment, they were about to withdraw their troops, but they happened to see the flag of the grass army in the distance, and they were willing to miss this opportunity at the moment, and immediately led the cavalry to attack and kill them regardless of their fatigue.

"Kill the general, capture the flag!!" Zhuge Shuang shouted loudly.

Capture the flag! The three Zhu Wen brothers also ignored their fatigue, rode their horses and raised their guns, and killed the past! (To be continued......)
