Anyone who knows the army knows that it is easy to fight against the wind, but it is difficult to fight against the wind; It is easy to attack, but it is difficult to organize an effective retreat. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)
When the tide of battle was going well, the morale of the army was high from top to bottom, and everyone was moving forward bravely, lest they should be left behind, and the generals only needed to restrain them appropriately. And when the war situation is unfavorable, the whole army loses its unified goal, so all kinds of selfish distractions that should be suppressed by strict military regulations are flooded. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and only wanted to save their lives, and the officers at all levels thought more complicatedly, such as how to maintain their own strength and how to shirk their responsibilities after the war. As the commander-in-chief, it is already difficult to maintain discipline and avoid a situation of falling into each other's hands, and it is extremely difficult to retreat in an orderly manner. How to avoid further deterioration of the situation as much as possible under such circumstances is the most important test of the command ability of the generals.
However, the hussar general and Youzhou Assassin Wang Jun really did not have such ability. This son of the Taiyuan Wang family, who boasts of being a unique figure in Su Ri, can only do at this time to escape. In fact, long before Duan Ji's 6 relatives gave up stubborn resistance, Wang Jun was already frightened by the overwhelming slogan of "arrest Wang Jun". Before he could even react to the generals who were accompanying him, he had already turned his horse's head and retreated impatiently.
In addition to the headquarters of Yang Fei and Mai Zheming, there were hundreds of cavalry gathered around Wang Jun. These cavalrymen were all selected from the children of the Hao clan of the Yan State and the two counties of Fanyang and the protons of the Hu clan in the western Liaoxi area, all of them were tall and mighty, wearing fine armor and five-colored brocade, which was most suitable for showing off their might. But Wang Jun never expected these nobles to fight to the death for him, and at the moment he was only full of anger that they were in his way.
"Get out of the way! Move! Wang Jun shouted and rode his horse, shook the whip crackling, squeezed through the center of the still hesitant cavalry, and galloped into the distance. This move immediately caused all the soldiers within the scope of vision to follow suit, and when the first front collapsed and the second front could not resist, the Youzhou army on the third front did not contact the Daijun army at all, and directly scattered and fled.
Many soldiers rode their horses and fled, shouting wildly, magnifying the panic even more. In order to escape faster than their colleagues, they did not hesitate to take off their armor and discard their weapons. It can reduce the weight bearing. In this way, although they started slower than Wang Jun, relying on their young and strong and excellent equestrian skills, many people quickly surpassed Wang Jun, who was over fifty years old, and embarked on the road of escape like voles running all over the mountains.
For such a scene, Wang Jun was frightened and unwilling. He couldn't help but scold: "There is not half of them who can fight to die...... These brutes have really wasted the old man's friendship for many years! β
On weekdays, there must be many people who respond to Wang Jun's accusations and come up with all kinds of ways to rectify those poor worms who have angered the history of Youzhou Thorns. But now, despite Wang Jun's rage, the knights around him were just silent, trying to ride their horses, and there was no response except the sound of the horses' gasps.
Wang Jun was choked by the silence and almost vomited blood. He forcibly suppressed his feelings, and looked forward while galloping on his horse. The terrain of the grassland on the dam is open, and you can vaguely see the majestic figure of the Yanshan Mountain Range in the distance. Wang Jun frowned, trying to remember the road he had come...... It should be in this direction, and you can go back to Jicheng if you go there. Just shake off the pursuit of the Daijun army!
"Kill the Xianbei people! Catch 6 dependents! Catch Wang Jun! Suddenly, the tidal wave of calls seemed to pour into Wang Jun's ears again, making him shiver.
The cruel reality made him realize how terrible the estrangement between the Hu and Jin clans in the Youzhou army was. Duan Xianbei rebelled, and this clearly absurd rumor would actually make the Youzhou army, which was originally in the upper hand, fall into chaos because of this. And without the prestige of the Xianbei people, he is not even capable of maintaining the battle. Although what Jiang Zuo Xiao'er said was not to be heard, it really hit his weakness: the entire Youzhou army really relied on the Xianbei people...... I knew it was so, I knew it was so...... Alas, that's it. So far, what else is there to say. Looking at the cavalry riding on his left and right, the ugliness of the wolf rushing proves that it is impossible for them to continue fighting, and even trying to reorganize them and restore their will to fight cannot be done in a short time. This battle in the northern frontier has been lost.
Such a military operation, which mobilized a huge number of troops and was carefully planned in advance, ended up in a disastrous failure. Even if it's Wang Jun
Fortunately, the Yuwen Department and the Duan Department all suffered heavy losses, and those Hu chieftains had to appease the people first, and they couldn't make any tricks for a while. As long as he can withdraw to Jicheng safely, with the foundation of operating in Yan Country for many years, he is not afraid of Hu'er's instability. It is necessary to beware of someone in the Luoyang court taking this opportunity to make waves......
Wang Jun has always been so far-sighted, even in the process of fleeing, he can consider the balance of forces of the various Hu tribes in Youzhou in the future, and at the same time, he has also formulated more than ten rebuttals for the possible attacks of the Luoyang Dynasty. Around him, many Youzhou knights seemed to be thinking about something, silent, and spurred their horses without hesitating their horses.
Wang Jun and Duan Ji's 6 dependents, these two senior generals of the Youzhou Army, coincidentally chose to flee first, leaving the scattered soldiers behind.
For the military merits sent to the door, how could the Daijun Army be polite? At first, the generals also commanded the army to attack and kill in strict manners, but later, the Xianbei people were completely discouraged, and the Daijun army was like killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, and they were unreasonable and cut down indiscriminately. In this fierce killing, it is impossible to count how many enemies are annihilated, and with the 6 Yao assault on the enemy's cavalry, each of them killed at least two or three Youzhou sergeants. Later, even the Xianbei Hao chieftains and high-ranking officers with bright armor, the soldiers didn't bother to cut their ranks, and directly stabbed them to death.
In addition to the dead, the number of soldiers of all ethnic groups in the Youzhou Army who fled was not a few. 6 Yao had no intention of dwelling on this, he was worried about the safety of Ding Miao's front team, so once the situation on the main battlefield was settled, he selected a number of elites who still had spare strength and went north to respond; Only Xue Tong was left to lead some of the men and horses to clean up the battlefield, capture and escape.
Xue Tong lined up his headquarters, from east to west, and then from south to north to pull the net to hunt down. In addition, several blocks were divided, and several generals were responsible for each. There are many officers in charge of this work, and two of them have the highest status, one is Shen Jin and the other is Zhu Sheng.
These two people are considered to be the old qualifications of 6 Yao's side. Shen Jin was born in the Bingzhou Army under Sima Teng, and was an old acquaintance and comrade-in-arms of 6 Yao. And Zhu Sheng was also reorganized into 6 Yao's subordinates when the army was reorganized in Yueshi Gongji City. They followed 6 Yao to fight in Qi County, Jinyang, Yecheng, and Dai County, and they did not obey the service, and made many meritorious deeds, so their official positions and power also soared. Now Shen Jin is a partial general, and Zhu Sheng is the chief person in charge of the intelligence information of the Daijun Army. In the entire Daijun army, Cheng DΓΉ, who had 6 Yao Xinzhong, was able to surpass them, but there were only a few people.
But neither of them was able to participate in the battle of the right talents. Zhu Sheng and his scouts naturally couldn't be consumed lightly, and Shen Jin and his subordinates were arranged by 6 Yao to be in the rear of the whole army, first, to hold the Shuize area formed by the confluence of the two rivers, and secondly, to use it as a reserve for the whole army, and they did not get the opportunity to fight the Xianbei people head-on.
