Chapter 231: Defeat Back to Fan Yang
However, it was said that the Tiance Army and the Cangyun Warriors were attacking at full speed, and the front army of the Wolf Tooth Army finally calmed down a little under the drink of the generals.
They all clenched their weapons and stood facing the direction the enemy was coming from, but the whole team was too late after all, and the morale was ...... Not to mention, that thing basically doesn't exist anymore.
But he finally calmed down, no longer running around and crowding, and further disrupted the formation.
However, at this moment, a sudden order made all the efforts of the wolf fang generals go to waste.
"The general has an order, the whole army withdraws to the camp, and the bed crossbow stone cannon is used against the enemy......"
"The general has an order, the whole army withdraws to the camp, and the bed crossbow stone cannon is used against the enemy......"
"Why am I ......" Those wolf-tooth generals who finally stabilized their positions, at this time, they all had the intention of hacking down those heralds, retreating at this time?
And Shi Siming, who was on the platform, was already squatting on the platform at the moment, grabbing his hair with both hands, his face was full of frustration, and he almost groaned and said an order, "Cai Xide, after this battle, kill all those heralds for me!"
"Yes, General. Cai Xide gritted his teeth.
Originally, this order was given by Shi Siming himself, and it was not to blame on the herald, but under what circumstances was that order given?
It was when the opponent's metal storm was raging, wantonly slaughtering its own soldiers, and the array was about to collapse, so there was nothing wrong with giving the order to retreat under such circumstances.
However, at this time, the Tang army began to assault, and the metal storm had stopped, so the best way to deal with it was to quickly form a team, stabilize the position, and fight with the other party.
Even if it is too late to form a team, even if it is a melee, 70,000 against 7,000, there is absolutely no reason to lose.
Besides, it is the front army that is chaotic, the middle army and the rear army are still neat, even if the front army is slaughtered, the middle army and the rear army will not lose, and the crossbowmen in the rear can still cause a large number of casualties to the Tang army.
But as soon as the order to retreat was passed at this time, it was tantamount to exposing his back to the Tang army, and the only result was to be slaughtered.
However, the Tang army entered their own array at this time, and they could not use defensive equipment to attack the enemy, otherwise they would kill their own soldiers together, which would definitely chill the soldiers under their command.
On the battlefield, if the commander loses the hearts of the people, it will be a disaster for the army, not to mention morale, it can be regarded as God's blessing if the battalion is not bombed.
And those heralds only know how to convey orders rigidly, but they don't even have the most basic ability to judge the situation and adapt to changes, what is the use of such subordinates?
Not to mention that Shi Siming wants to kill them, even those generals who command the army will not let them go when they come back.
Sure enough, as soon as the former sergeants, who had no morale and no intention of fighting, heard the order to retreat, where did they care about anything else?
The rear army and the Chinese army were originally neat, and they only needed to turn around on the spot, and the rear team became the front team and withdrew to the camp.
But the former sergeant who was like a lost dog rushed away, and even the Chinese army was implicated, and many people fell to the ground during the push, and the state that should have been evacuated in an orderly manner suddenly turned into a rout.
There were only three gates, and they were no more than two zhang wide, so how many people could enter at one time? The 70,000 people were divided into three groups and squeezed towards the three camp gates, and if they entered in an orderly manner, they could be evacuated smoothly.
But in this chaos, the soldiers crowded each other, and they all wanted to flee back to the camp first, but it turned out to be a bad thing, tens of thousands of people crowded together, in this case, once they fell to the ground, where was there a chance to get up?
The Chinese army and the rear army wolf tooth soldiers were involved by the front army, and the soldiers trampled on each other, with countless casualties, but at this time, the Tiance army and the Cangyun army had crashed into the rear army formation, spears and stabs, long knives and slashes, and a large number of wolf tooth soldiers died.
The death threat from the Tang army aggravated the collapse of the Wolf Tooth Army, and the place where the Wolf Tooth Army was lined up was already 400 meters away from the camp, and this 400 meters distance became the road to death for the Wolf Tooth Army.
When the rear army successfully returned to the camp, the Chinese army and the front army had been completely mixed, a mess, not to mention the array, and even order no longer existed.
As a result, only a small part of the Chinese army smoothly entered the camp, and all the people behind it were crowded together, and even blocked the gate.
Shi Siming and Cai Xide on the general platform were dumbfounded, at this time, the Tang army had already pursued and killed his own army to about one hundred and eighty paces, which was completely within the range of the bed crossbow, but he did not dare to order the arrows to be released, because it would shoot his own soldiers together.
But if this continues, the Tang army is likely to follow behind his own soldiers and kill into the camp.
"General, you go first! After I stay here, we still have 10,000 cavalry, 1,000 wolf cavalry, and nearly 20,000 foot soldiers who have entered the camp at this moment, you bring all of them back to Fanyang, and then make a comeback in the future." ”
"If we let the Tang army rush into the camp, the array of 10,000 cavalry will inevitably be broken up, and then we will really be completely defeated. ”
"There are also masters such as Yan Wangqing, Song Senxue, and Yan Yimei in the Cangyun Army, and our masters have gone to assault the metal storm again, and no one of us can stop them. ”
After listening to Cai Xide's words, Shi Siming's face was cloudy and uncertain, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
Obviously, he had seen through the weakness of Metal Storm, and as long as he withdrew the army, reorganized the team, and then killed, he could win the battle, but because of the stupidity of the heralds, the situation was completely out of control.
I knew that I would learn from the Tang Army, and I would be ready to beat a piece of gold and iron at any time, and Ming Jin would be the collection of troops, and there would be no need to make the drummer beat the drum of retreat so much.
Even if all the drummers were killed, we would all be able to achieve our goal by any of us, damn, who would have thought that the other side would have the means to kill the herald and the drummer from two miles away?
In fact, this time Shi Siming was defeated very unjustly, not in strategy and troops, but in information asymmetry, and in weapons that should not exist in this world.
In fact, it doesn't matter how you give the order, as long as you can achieve the goal, but when you encounter an unreasonable weapon like a sniper rifle, the difference is big.
As Shi Siming thought, if the Wolf Tooth Army, like the Tang Army, used Mingjin to collect troops, then any master who was not afraid of a sniper rifle would be able to pass on the order to retreat if he knocked on the gold and iron.
There will be no such thing as sending a herald to give orders, and as a result, the three armies will be exhausted by the stupidity of the heralds.
"Father, General Cai is right, as long as you are alive, you will have a chance to make a comeback, if your life is gone, there will be nothing, let's go!" Shi Chaoyi also persuaded on the side.
Shi Siming closed his eyes and took a deep breath, patted Cai Xide's shoulder, and sighed: "Don't break off, let's go together!
"Yes. ”
Cai Xide took his own soldiers to set fire everywhere, burned all the grain and grass, bed crossbows, trebuchets and other utensils in the camp, and then retreated to Fanyang with more than 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers with Shi Siming.
