Chapter 3862 A complete defeat
Yu Wenlong was frightened and angry at the same time. With such a battle, Youtunwei didn't even bother to come up with a new strategy. He actually copied the same strategy he used last time...
Do you regard me as nothing?
However, what made him even more depressed was that he had been extremely cautious before, guessing at Youtunwei's various possible responses, fearing that he would accidentally fall into his scheme, but he never thought that Youtunwei would repeat his old tricks...
But the most important thing is that now, the Tubo barbarian cavalry are interspersed with each other and are charging towards the back of our army. Once the light cavalry of the Right Guards also come in a roundabout way, the result of the last big defeat will be repeated.
At this moment, how could he care about Changsun Yan?
"Evacuate quickly! Evacuate quickly! Return to the east of the city wall and make contingency plans!"
Yu Wenlong turned his horse's head and retreated along the way he came. And he must first protect this bit of family wealth under his command, otherwise the foundation of the Yuwen family will be destroyed. How can he have the face to face the ancestors of the Yuwen family who are under Jiuquan?
……
By the Yong'an Canal.
The offensives of the powerful private armies were getting higher and higher. Although the Right Guards array remained motionless and as solid as a rock under the tidal wave of impact, there were only a few people who could do this to suppress the Right Guards. ? For a time, not only Changsun Yan, but also the private soldiers of the powerful families were full of arrogance and seemed to be crazy, launching waves of strong attacks on the Youtunwei position.
The battlefield was filled with blood and fire, and it was extremely tragic.
However, as the frenzied attack failed, the shortcomings of the lack of training of these powerful private armies gradually became apparent. The soldiers began to become agitated, their morale began to decline, and their momentum inevitably gradually declined.
"General, please stop!"
“The casualties are too great, I can’t stand it anymore!”
"Should we stop and take a breather?"
……
Changsun Yan looked gloomy, waved his riding whip a few times, and shouted sternly: "Of course I know that you have suffered heavy casualties, but the enemy is also at the end of its war effort. As long as it persists, its defense line will inevitably collapse! If we withdraw at this time, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?" Needless to say, hurry up and send the soldiers to continue the fierce attack. Anyone who dares to hold back will be killed without mercy!"
Although he has never led a soldier, he has read several military books.
Where can there be so many invincible and invincible enemies? War is often a stalemate and a struggle for attrition. One moment they are evenly matched and fighting each other, but the next moment one of the parties suddenly loses its support and collapses in an instant.
This is the so-called "one general's success will last forever".
The leaders of the private armies of various clans had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive their soldiers to continue the fierce attack. However, the huge casualties made everyone feel heartache. This is the foundation for each family to dominate the local area and compete with the imperial court. If all of them die in Guanzhong, how can the family continue to be glorious and monopolize local politics?
But the matter has come to this, but there is no turning back. All the sects and private armies depend on Guan Long for their survival. If Guan Long is angered at this moment and the other party lets go, the outcome will only be a dead end...
Changsun Yan was also sweating a little.
The battle was too brutal. The private armies, which lacked heavy armor and lacked training, seemed to launch an offensive like a tide. They spread across the mountains and plains with great momentum. However, in front of the well-equipped and well-trained Youtun Guards, it was really difficult to shake their strict array.
The tide seems to be surging, but how can it shake the reef at all?
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the rear army. At first, it was only the last soldiers who were released making noise and commotion, but in the blink of an eye, the commotion quickly spread like water ripples and affected the entire rear army.
Changsun Yan was a little confused and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
The soldiers also looked puzzled. Someone rode to check, but after taking a few steps, a school captain flew over, came to Changsun Yan, took a few breaths, and said loudly: "General, something bad is going on! ”
Changsun Yan whipped his horse whip down and said angrily: "You need to take a breath, finish what you have to say quickly!"
"Here!"
The captain received a whip, but he dared not speak out in anger, and said loudly: "The 'Woye Town Private Army' in the rear suddenly stopped advancing and quickly retreated. I don't know what happened!"
Changsun Yan was stunned for a moment, then whipped him down again and cursed: "I don't know what happened, why did you come here to report it? Go and investigate quickly!"
"Here!"
After being whipped twice, the captain turned around and ran back, covering his head. He almost collided with the oncoming cavalry...
Those horsemen rode up to the front, wanting to get close to Changsun Yan, but the nearby troops and horses were so chaotic that they couldn't get close. They could only shout from a distance: "We have been ordered by General Yuwen to inform General Changsun that there are ten miles to the west. The Tubo barbarians were discovered outside. General Yuwen was afraid that the cavalry of the Youtun Guards were also crossing into the rear formation, so he had to withdraw his troops and form a formation. He specially ordered us to come and inform the general, asking him to quickly retreat and join up. "
These soldiers were originally ordered by Yu Wenlong to let Changsun Yan retreat quietly to join them. Since the task of "sending people's heads" has been basically completed, there is no need to continue to let Changsun Yan follow the army and take risks.
But when these words were shouted out in front of everyone, not only Zhang Sunyan was confused, but also the leaders of the surrounding private armies were in an uproar.
"What? The Tubo Huqi have cut off our retreat?"
"The Youtun Guards in front is impenetrable. We have already lost too many people. If our retreat is cut off, wouldn't it be a turtle in the jar?"
"Mother! We are fighting for life and death here, and this eldest grandson, Shiro, actually wants to escape secretly?"
"Mother Xute! Do you think I'm stupid? No fight, no fight, let's run together!"
"It's too late and I'm cut off from my escape. I regret it too late!"
"Call the troops, withdraw!"
……
The leaders of the surrounding private armies were furious and roared angrily. Then they dispersed and rushed to their respective units to assemble and retreat.
The position of tens of thousands of people instantly fell into chaos, with people shouting and horses trampling on each other. There was no formation at all. Changsun Yan was frightened and angry. He did not want to blame those Yuwenlong soldiers and said to his left and right: "Protect me and retreat quickly!"
The soldiers on the left and right were well prepared. They immediately turned their horses and changed their formations. First, they protected Changsun Yan in the middle, and then more than ten riders rode in front to clear the way, trying to evacuate quickly. However, the surrounding private armies heard that the enemy troops in the rear were blocking their retreat, and the commander-in-chief Changsun Yan also wanted to retreat. How could he still think about attacking the Youtunwei position? He turned his head and fled towards the rear, fearing that if he ran too slowly, he would be attacked and massacred by the Youtun Guards and the Tubo Hu Cavalry.
When military orders were ineffective and order was lost, tens of thousands of people were like tens of thousands of pigs charging wildly in the wild.
Changsun Yan and his party were trapped by the rebel army and could not move even an inch. Their eyes were red with anxiety, and they heard someone behind them shouting: "The right guard has left the position and is coming to kill!"
Panic spread rapidly, and the private armies of the powerful families were completely defeated.
Changsun Yan realized that something was wrong, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Kill out!"
At this time, no one cared about the general of the army or the children of the aristocratic family. The rebels were retreating towards the rear, but the order was chaotic and there was no command. They were chaotic and confused, and they were crowding and trampling on each other. How could they get out? He had no choice but to take action.
After receiving the order, the soldiers drew out their horizontal knives one after another, rushed forward and slashed with their knives, killing the rebels in front of them until they cried for their fathers and mothers and hurriedly stepped aside. But tens of thousands of people are crowded together in one place, rubbing shoulders and bustling with each other. Where can you get out of the way if you want to? They were squeezing one by one and bumping into each other. Instead of clearing a passage, it became more and more chaotic.
"Everyone, run quickly, the Youtun Guards are coming to kill you!"
There was a shout from the front, and Zhang Sunyan looked back in shock on his horse. He saw that in the direction of the Youtun Guards position by the Yong'an Canal, thousands of Youtun Guards soldiers had dispersed and the black mass was like a mountain, pressing towards this side. The infantry were in front, and the crossbowmen and musketeers were scattered on both sides. They moved slowly but firmly, chasing the tail of the defeated army.
Changsun Yan's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. Could it be that he was going to die here today?
With his eyes red and frantic, he drew out his horizontal sword and shouted: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!" He rode into the soldiers blocking his retreat and slashed wildly, trying to carve out a bloody path and escape.
A thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded from the darkness. The private soldiers in the chaotic retreat looked in shock and saw a cavalry suddenly charging out of the darkness to the west. The mane of the war horse was flying, and the soldiers on the horse were waving their hidden weapons. The knife, shouting strange words, was killing like lightning.
"Tubo Huqi! It's Tubo Huqi!"
"Mom! Run!"
"You're running! Can a human leg outrun a horse's leg? Surrender quickly!"
Crash... Countless soldiers made a quick decision, threw their weapons to the ground, then squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, shouting: "Don't kill me, I surrender!" (End of Chapter)
