The course of the Battle of Makino was beyond everyone's expectations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The third front of the Zhou Dynasty camp was frustrated, with more than half of the battle losses and facing a complete collapse. Jiang Shang, who was in charge of command at the rear of the battlefield, couldn't help but let out a long sigh and bitterly issued the order to retreat.

Jiang Shang knew that today's battle completely cut off the possibility of the Western Zhou Dynasty overthrowing the Shang Dynasty. After this battle, whether the Western Zhou Dynasty could survive the counteroffensive of the Shang Dynasty is two theories. He did not forget that in the far east, the main force of the Shang army was rushing back to Chaoge with all its might, returning to King Qin.

The picture was poor, but in the end, it ended up like this.

As the prime minister of Zhou and the commander-in-chief of the army, he Jiang Shang could not escape the blame, and he could only apologize with death. Before he died, he had to do one thing well, that is, to save the life of King Wu of Zhou, and to preserve the bloodline inheritance of the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Shang ordered the chariot troops, turned the head of the chariot, and was ready to retreat at any time. As long as King Wu withdrew, he would retreat immediately, and as for the surviving armor soldiers and the alliance of the princes, Jiang Shang could no longer take care of them.

At the end of the day, Jiang Shang is also a utilitarian through and through. Playing with the art of scheming has reached the point of perfection. The reason why the Dongyi tribes rebelled was that Jiang Shang was behind the matchmaking. Jiang Shangce opposed the Dongyi tribes, let the Dongyi and Shang dynasties consume each other, and finally the Western Zhou Dynasty reaped the benefits of the fishermen.

After receiving the order to retreat, at the critical moment, King Wu showed his responsibility as an emperor and took the initiative to leave the armor behind the palace and let the princes' coalition retreat first. In fact, at this time, the coalition of princes had already been killed by the cavalry, and those who were killed lost their armor were abandoned, leaving less than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals.

This battle was also a nightmare for the vassal states. After returning to China, how to deal with the attack of the Shang Dynasty has become the top priority in the hearts of all princes. With the character of the Shang Emperor Xin Jian, the best outcome for the princes of all walks of life is to be used as a sacrifice to sacrifice to ghosts and gods.

As for the Inhuman Legion of the Zhou Dynasty, they had already withdrawn first. Seeing that they could not win, the lords naturally would not stay with the Zhou army to be buried, and every warrior they brought was the elite of the territory and could not afford to lose.

The surviving more than 20,000 Inhuman legions, throwing away their armor and fleeing in all directions, some burrowed into the forest, some flowed across the river, and some ran into the mountains, like a group of lost dogs, the scene was spectacular. These lords did not intend to return to Mengjin again, so they simply hid outside until the end of the battle.

Shang Emperor Xin knew the nature of the Inhuman forces, and knew that they simply couldn't stay here for long. Therefore, no arrangements were made for the Su Guards to continue the pursuit, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.

In this battle, although the Inhuman Legion was successfully suppressed, the Su Guard and the Royal Guard also suffered heavy losses. After all, the strength of the Inhuman Legion is there, and there are still small teams, and in order to make money and contribute value, they are very desperate for a while. In this battle, all the war elephants were killed, more than half of the Su Guards were killed, and more than 1,000 royal guards were killed.

Di Chen looked at the scattered army and let out a long sigh. The battle of Makino was completely lost to Wu Yi, and Chun Shenjun and they didn't even have a chance to participate in the final decisive battle.

After the battle, I don't know what kind of turmoil will arise.

"What now?" Fenghua asked.

Di Chen looked around, the troops he could still mobilize now were less than five hundred, and he really couldn't make a difference. Moreover, their cavalry had already been wiped out, and even if they wanted to evacuate with King Wu of Zhou, they couldn't. The only way is to be like the other lords, and to play the wilderness.

Di Chen smiled bitterly, "What else can I do?" Run for your life! ”

The surviving 500 tiger army surrounded King Wu of Zhou and quickly evacuated. The 20,000 surviving armor soldiers in the rear did not retreat, but advanced, took over the defense line left by the Tiger Ben Army, and fought with the sword and shield soldiers led by Shi Wansui.

The armorers already have the heart of death. Their only task was to buy enough time for their king to retreat. The armor is already crazy, and if he is stabbed, he will simply hold on to the enemy and create a good opportunity for his companions to kill the enemy, which is extremely tragic. For a while, it was able to resist the attack of the sword and shield soldiers.

Shi Wansui is naturally also very human, and he was completely aroused by the sea of blood on the battlefield, only to see him stab a soldier to death with one shot, and roared loudly: "Don't let King Wu of Zhou run away, kill them, and those who stand in my way will die!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The mountain barbarian hoplites let out an earth-shattering roar.

No matter how crazy the radish is, it can't carry the kitchen knife. Once the sword and shield soldier is held by the opponent, he simply goes down with a knife, splits the opponent's hands into two pieces, and kicks the opponent away. Or swing the shield and directly hit the opponent's head with a powerful shield blow, cracking the opponent's head and cracking the brain.

Twenty thousand armor soldiers were cut off layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scene was extremely bloody. The sacrifice of their companions did not make the latecomers cowardly, on the contrary, they became more insane.

King Wu of Zhou, who was retreating on the way, couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard an angry roar coming from behind him. His soldiers are being mercilessly slaughtered by the enemy, but he, the king, is powerless.

King Wu of Zhou looked back, looked at Di Xin, who was standing on the golden chariot and supervising the battle, and said fiercely: "Di Xin, if I don't kill you, I will be the master in vain." "With even more bitter hatred, converge with the chariot troops.

Until this time, the regiments of crossbowmen in the rear did not stop firing. Therefore, the enemy's retreat is still to brave the rain of arrows. When many soldiers retreated, they were shot in the back and fell directly to the ground.

By this time, their companions had no safety to take care of them, and allowed the wounded to lie on the ground wailing helplessly, deaf to their cries for help.

The ditches in the southern suburbs have been completely filled with corpses, and blood is flowing all over the ground. Cruelly, these corpses helped the soldiers evacuate quickly, and became the best stepping stone, at least they didn't have to struggle to cross the trench. At this time, every minute and every second is so precious, it is a matter of life and death.

The soldiers' only thought was to quickly get out of range of the enemy's crossbowmen. The powerful crossbowman army has become a lingering nightmare for the Zhou army.

Even King Wu of Zhou couldn't help but sigh when he retreated: "Those who die to me will also be strong." "By the time they joined up with the chariots in the rear, there were less than a thousand of the 1,500 troops left.

Ouyang Shuo did not intend to give up, he had been appointed by the Shang Emperor Xin as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, and issued an order in the rear to "capture King Wu alive and capture Jiang Shang".

At the same time, he ordered the cavalry troops to assist the sword and shield soldiers to quickly destroy the armored corps that was still resisting.

"Capture King Wu alive and capture Jiang Shang" The soldiers shouted slogans and launched a counterattack.

The first to move was the cavalry troops. The cavalry, which suffered minimal losses, suddenly turned left and inserted itself into the enemy's center under the leadership of three generals, Zhang Liao, Qin Qiong, and Lin Yi.

It is true that if the cavalry suddenly inserts into the rear of the enemy at this time, then there is a great certainty that it will destroy the three hundred chariots in the rear of the Zhou army, and even capture Jiang Shang.

But once the chariot is destroyed, it is equivalent to completely destroying the last hope of the Zhou army's retreat, and they can only force them to fight on their backs, which is very unwise.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also has his own selfishness. If King Wu of Zhou is let go now, then only the cavalry of Shanhai County can catch up with them. In this way, the reward for killing King Wu of Zhou will fall into his hands one hundred percent, instead of being snatched by a lucky person.

Besides, Ouyang Shuo didn't want the sword and shield soldiers to suffer too much loss, and the damage caused by the crazy armor soldiers to the sword and shield soldiers was still very huge.

The reinforcement of the cavalry completely forced the Zhou soldiers to a dead end. The cavalry and sword and shield soldiers coordinated with each other, flanking the front and rear, and unleashing a frenzied massacre on the surviving armor.

Only by this time did the crossbowman regiment stop firing. The continuous high-intensity shooting will make the slave who is not in good health almost collapse from exhaustion. Even the five thousand Inhuman crossbowmen were exhausted.

Today's victory should be credited with their first merit.

By the time the cavalry and sword and shield soldiers cooperated to completely annihilate the surviving armor soldiers, King Wu of Zhou had already taken Jiang Shang and the lords of the vassal states and fled in a chariot.

The hustle and bustle of the battlefield suddenly fell silent, and only a few groans of pain remained.

The drizzling rain stopped at some point. The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth again, bringing warmth to all the survivors.

The sun was shining on the southern suburbs, and there was no trace of green in sight, and the grass was all covered with corpses, stained red with blood. A flock of vultures flew in from the sky, hovering in the air, and refused to leave for a long time.

Faced with the hell on earth in front of them, many lords couldn't stand it and retreated to the rear, vomiting incessantly.

It's just weird, the game is too real and bloody. Countless internal organs, rectums, and brains flowed on the grass, attracting swarms of flies.

Perhaps, for the animals of the wilderness, this is an unexpected feast.

Shang Emperor Xin stood on the golden chariot, unconcerned about the corpses around him, and looked high-spirited. The general evil came to accompany him, hehe, he smiled.

Ouyang Shuo rode the green worm horse, rushed to the golden chariot, dismounted, and clasped his fists with both hands: "The king, the enemy chieftain fled and left a disaster, so I beg the king to allow me to lead my troops to pursue." ”

Di Xin had this intention, of course he understood the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but with the infantry of the Su Guard and the Royal Guard, he could not catch up with the opponent's chariot troops. Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to ask Ying, and of course Di Xin was happy.

"Okay, then you'll have to make another trip. When you return to the court, this king will be rewarded. Dixin promised.

"Whoa!" After Ouyang Shuo accepted the order, he turned over his horse, found Lin Yi, and chased the cavalry troops of Shanhai County in the direction of Mengjin.

The other lords watched the cavalry of Shanhai County gradually move away, showing envious expressions. Of course, they know how much contribution value will be waiting to be harvested after catching up. It was not only King Wu of Zhou who fled, but also the princes and monarchs, all of whom were huge contributions. Hate only hate, his own war horse is not powerful. (To be continued.) )
