Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"Don't mess up, don't retreat! Other elite cavalry are coming, and this is a good opportunity to kill the thieves!"

But Zhu Hunyuan stood under the central army's banner, watching the enemy cavalry rush left and right in the formation, trampling wantonly, and he was very anxious.

Several times, the enemy cavalry had already rushed into the Chinese army. Only after the stubborn resistance of their own soldiers, they moved to fight elsewhere and charged again from another direction.

This happened several times, and even the personal guards around Zhu Hunyuan were in danger of being attacked by the enemy cavalry, and might collapse and flee at any time.

Such a chaotic scene instantly pulled Ke Zhu Hunyuan's memory back to the battlefield outside Jiuqu City where he and Li Boshan fought before. At that time, he had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat because the formation was in chaos and he had no way to control it.

Looking back a few times afterwards, Zhu Hunyuan felt that if he had persevered a little longer, he might have done better, and there was no way he could turn defeat into victory.

So now, in the same situation where the situation was broken and disrupted, Zhu Hunyuan gritted his teeth and refused to retreat. It was really difficult for him to face the humiliation again and again.

When his confidants were about to come forward and beg Zhu Hunyuan to retreat temporarily and reorganize his troops, Zhu Hunyuan just held up his sword and roared: "There are only a thousand thieves, but our army has tens of thousands of people. Use your body as a barrier." , why retreat in defeat! I am so honored and favored that I will die without any regrets even if my bones are buried here! You disciples are still capable of killing thieves, so you don’t need to use me as a trick to kill thieves and thieves!”

When all the tribesmen heard this, they couldn't help but feel heroic feelings in their hearts. They held the knife in their hands with their eyes broken, and wanted to separate life and death from the enemy in this formation. However, before they could attack them, some soldiers who were routed along the way and pursued by enemy cavalry were desperate and fled straight towards the Chinese army, hoping that the general would be able to save them.

However, what greeted them was only the ruthless swords of the Supervisory Team. Since the general has not left, it is a capital crime for the soldiers in the formation to retreat without authorization. Fortunately, they did not die at the hands of the thieves, but they could not escape the magic sword after all.

But Zhu Hunyuan is indeed determined and knows that he has been greatly favored and will die without regrets. But the other soldiers did not have such strong self-esteem and tenacious fighting spirit as him, and they were not the newly crowned noble kings of Northern Qi. That

The power of the Heyang artillery was astonishing. Although the damage was limited, it brought a huge psychological shock to the military formation. Then the enemy's elite cavalry easily tore through the formation.

When the infantry formation was torn apart, the soldiers in their formation were like lambs to be slaughtered under the iron hooves, completely powerless to resist. Facing the enemy's continuous attack, he could only try his best to dodge and run away. If his legs were slow, he would be trampled by iron hoofs and pierced by swords!

Although Li Tai has always been at the forefront, he has not neglected to observe and grasp the overall situation on the battlefield.

He also noticed that the enemy cavalry from the south and west of the White Horse Temple were quickly rushing in for reinforcements. Although Gao Le, who had stayed in the city, led a thousand fine cavalry to attack, without the cooperation of the Heyang cannon, the effect of the charge was It was not very good, and there were five or six thousand enemy cavalry on both sides. If Gao Le charged too close, he would be in danger of being outflanked and intercepted. Therefore, he could only continue to harass sideways to slow down the enemy cavalry's reinforcements.

As for the infantry battle formation here, the more than two thousand troops in the front have been completely scattered and routed, and the formation in the rear has also been greatly affected. However, because Zhu Hunyuan's Chinese army flags still stood upright, the overall formation structure had not collapsed.

At this time, Li Tai could only lead his men and horses to repeatedly sprint in and out of the enemy's formation, and constantly use rout to attack Zhu Hunyuan's Chinese army formation. Even if he could not overwhelm the formation, he still had to ensure that his orders were given. It cannot be transmitted smoothly, allowing its formation to continue to remain in a chaotic state.

But Zhu Hunyuan was also tenacious beyond Li Tai's imagination. He repeatedly charged and killed in the formation, but there was still no sign of Zhu Hunyuan's Chinese army flag moving.

At this time, the infantry who had been defeated and left the battlefield were gradually gathering under the command of their respective commanders and generals. After all, Li Tai's troops only had a few thousand cavalry. Since they wanted to overwhelm the central army, they must You can't take other things into consideration.

The most important thing is that during the period when Li Tai and his party entered the battle, two lines of enemy cavalry finally arrived at one side of the battlefield, bypassing the infantry that had regrouped after the collapse, and then headed towards Li Tai and his party. Come under siege.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Tai could only give up his attempt to capture Zhu Hunyuan in the formation, turned around and looked around at the soldiers behind him and asked: "Are the victorious generals still worthy of fighting?"

"Fightable! Fightable!"

Although the soldiers were quite tired from the continuous charge, when they heard the general's call, they all raised their weapons and answered loudly.

After hearing this, Li Tai burst out laughing, then grabbed a military flag left by the enemy on the battlefield and handed it to Han Qinhu next to him. Then he shouted loudly: "The old thief Dao Yuan is dead in the formation, all the soldiers Follow me first to capture Jinyong City and then to conquer Heyang!"

"Daoyuan is dead! Remove Jin Yong first, then defeat Heyang!"

The best soldiers are those who know clearly that the general is telling lies but still believe it, so at this moment they are still clinging to the military flag and refusing to move. But Zhu Hunyuan completed his death in the hearts of the Jingzhou Army soldiers. , no longer their target, shouting slogans loudly, directly bypassing Zhu Hunyuan's Chinese army formation, and rushed straight to Jin Yong City in the east and rear.

But Zhu Hunyuan was happy that the two groups of elite cavalry finally rushed to the battlefield in time. He was glad that the next battle was about to turn around, but he did not expect that the enemy would give up on him and break away from the battle, rushing further away. .

Especially when he heard the shouts of the enemy, Zhu Hunyuan was even more angry. Although he had the ambition to regard death as home, it did not mean that he could accept the enemy's arrangement of himself at will, especially when he heard that With his firm and loud roar, even he himself doubted whether he was really dead. How could the soldiers on the retreat not be affected by this?

"Further quickly and continue to pursue! We must not let Li Boshan escape from here!"

But Zhu Hunyuan had never seen Li Boshan before, but when he led his army into the battle just now, he caught a glimpse of that handsome and refined face. Even if he was in danger, he couldn't help but lose consciousness for a moment. Now This face is deeply engraved in my heart, and I wish I could cut it and destroy it with my own hands.

Although Li Tai only had a few thousand cavalry, there were still nearly 10,000 troops stationed in the rear camp and Jin Yong City. Normally speaking, it would be difficult for them to break through. However, Zhu Hunyuan did not dare to use common sense at this moment. He took advantage of the elite cavalry to move here and quickly gave the order.

At the same time, Zhu Hunyuan also quickly ordered the Chinese army flags, which had previously refused to move, to go in the direction Li Boshan rushed out. He wanted to personally direct the capture of his people, but he completely forgot about Baima Temple. .

The reason why he stormed the White Horse Temple this time was mainly to capture Li Boshan and eliminate the danger of Baiting City being besieged by the barbarians. These barbarians were all inspired by Li Boshan's name to gather here. Once Li Boshan is gone, they will naturally disperse. As for the gains and losses of the White Horse Temple, it is not important. The key is not to let Li Boshan break out and then join the others. .

But because Zhu Hunyuan was worried about Li Boshan breaking out and escaping, he didn't even bother to stay here and wait for the scattered infantry to regroup. And when his central army flag moved, the soldiers immediately became panicked.

In the past, the Chinese army's banners had not moved an inch after enduring such a fierce charging battle. But now, as soon as the enemy shouted for the death of the general and ran into the distance, the Chinese army's banners also wavered and walked away. Could it be that what the thieves said was true?

Once effective communication is lost on the battlefield, the consequences will be very terrible. Even those with strong leadership, such as Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, were abandoned by their troops on the battlefield and their armies retreated.

Although Li Tai had just charged and killed several times in the enemy formation, most of the enemy soldiers were routed rather than killed. At this time, they had just been regrouped and had not yet restored contact with the Chinese army. As a result, he saw the flag of the Chinese army. Yuzheng retreated, and when he was frightened and frightened again, he couldn't help but become even more frightened and panicked.

"The thieves have been defeated, the thieves have been defeated!"

Gao Le, who had been playing soy sauce on the side, now shouted with the soldiers and rushed towards the obviously panicked enemies.

When the soldiers saw the enemy cavalry coming again, they each let out a roar of despair. This time the collapse was more serious and complete than the first time. On this battlefield, they completely dispersed like a goddess scattering flowers, and there was no chance of regrouping in a short period of time. It's possible to get up.

Such panic immediately spread to the cavalry formation. The cavalry troops in the front naturally knew that they were ordered to pursue the traitor general, but the cavalry in the rear did not know the precise content of the military order. Seeing the infantry collapse again, It was inevitable that the order to pursue would be misunderstood as an order to flee. And since it is a rout, naturally the faster you run, the safer you will be.

As a result, as the cavalry on the rear road fought and galloped, the enemy cavalry quickly collided front and back, and the chaos gradually spread again.

The collapse of the infantry formation is still difficult to integrate. Once the highly mobile cavalry becomes panicked, it will become even more uncontrollable. Before the general's order could reach the formation, the team had already fled several miles away. They could only find out what happened in their own way. Naturally, what they heard was a variety of information, and most of them were Mainly negative, the panic will ripple like ripples on the lake.

Naturally, Li Tai would not go straight to Jinyong City, not to mention that Jinyong City is still more than 20 miles away from the White Horse Temple. With the strength of his men and horses, he would already be at the end of his efforts. Can helplessly look at the city.

So after he finished bragging and left the battlefield, he led his troops directly to the Mang Ridge in the north, and soon deviated from the main road. At first, there were enemy cavalry who were chasing them all the way, but as the commotion in the rear became more intense, these enemy cavalry saw that there were no friendly troops to follow in the rear, and instead they all fled to their own rear, feeling guilty. In the end, he simply led the troops away.

So Li Tai reined up his horse on the ridge to the north and saw the enemy troops galloping past the ridge. When he saw Zhu Hunyuan's army running past, he was still waiting to lead the crowd to rush down to intercept them, but he saw Most of the war horses were out of breath and even foaming at the mouth, so they had no choice but to give up. This old boy was destined to die!

Li Tai led his troops to wait on the mountain for a while, and Gao Le also led his troops to rush here. Then the two sides met, picking up the enemy's abandoned armor sticks and lost soldiers along the way, and returned to the White Horse Temple.

At this time, the setting sun was setting, and the melodious and rich bells sounded again in the temple, which could be heard far away in the wilderness. The soldiers were surrounded by golden light. Although they were exhausted, they felt extremely happy at the thought of another great victory.
