Chapter 4413 Collapse at the first touch
Dou Xi was killed by Fang Jun under the Xuanwu sect, which meant that the Liquan Yin family and the Guanlong clan would form a blood feud and would never stop fighting. Once the King of Jin succeeded in taking the throne, the Guanlong clan would not only revive from the ashes, but even become better than before. The enemy's counterattack is calculated, and the Liquan Yin family will definitely bear the brunt.
Let alone losing all the power and wealth in one day, it is possible for the barbarians to destroy the three tribes...
So now, for the Liquan Yin family, supporting the emperor and defeating the rebels was the only way to survive, even if they died in battle and were killed by chaos, they would not hesitate.
After being bombarded by artillery and cavalry raids by Youtun Guards, the army that the Liquan Yin family had been running for decades disappeared into thin air. Apart from those who died in battle and were seriously injured, most of the defeated troops dispersed. Those who could be regrouped were all close associates. The confidant, Yin Yuan, who was the sole heir of the Liquan Yin family at this moment, was fighting to the death among the rebel army, and the soldiers surrounding him naturally followed him to the death.
His fearless spirit burst out with huge fighting power. Yin Yuan slung one arm and charged forward with only a knife in one hand. He cut a bloody path among the enemy soldiers and killed the enemy soldiers, making them cry for their fathers and mothers. .
However, after all, the troops were weak, and the enemy troops were swarming in like a tide, and fewer and fewer Paoze around him died in battle. By the time Yin Yuan recovered from his violent state, he was already surrounded by many enemies. The army is surrounded by water on the third and outer floors, making it difficult to fly even with wings.
However, for some people who are determined to die, the more desperate the situation, the more incredible fighting power they can burst out. Yin Yuan wielded his sword with one arm and moved forward indomitably. The remaining thousands of soldiers followed closely, looking at death as if they were home. With red eyes and gritted teeth, he was like a ferocious beast picking out people and devouring them. The enemy was so frightened that they were so frightened that they could only surround him, unable to do anything for a while.
No matter how Li Huaiqin urged, the soldiers under his command refused to lift the enemy's sword lightly, and could only let the trapped beast-like enemy rush left and right in the encirclement and fight bravely.
The scouts came from far and near through the wind and rain, bringing the news that Li Huaiqin least wanted to hear: "Commander Qi, Li Jing has sent Li Dazhi to lead five thousand cavalry to support Xuanwu Gate, and there are thousands more cavalry." Pawn followed closely."
Li Huaiqin's heart skipped a beat. The worst situation was about to happen. If reinforcements from the Sixth Army of the East Palace arrived before the Xuanwu Gate was captured, he and Liu Keman's troops might not be able to withstand them, and escaping would be a problem. , let alone entering Xuanwu Gate to encircle Wude Hall.
After a while, another scout came to report: "The prince's left guard led has passed Longshouyuan, and its direction of travel has been westward. The path is parallel to the Chang'an city wall. It seems that there is no intention to rush to Xuanwu Gate."
< br>
Li Huaiqin's scalp was numb. Since the prince's left guard had come to support Xuanwu Gate, he had only two goals: either to reach Xuanwu Gate and attack Liu Keman from behind to ensure the safety of Xuanwu Gate, or to defeat himself first. , and then turned back and rushed to Xuanwu Gate...
Now that Li Dazhi is in charge of the crown prince's left guard and refuses to go to Xuanwu Gate, he can only target himself.
Li Huaiqin, with a gleam on his back, angrily ordered the entire army to gather together to annihilate the Yin Yuan tribe with all their strength, and then took a short rest to form an array to face the prince's left guard.
At this point, he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to. He could only hope that his side could block the crown prince's left guard and Liu Keman's side could capture Xuanwu Gate as soon as possible...
However, in recent years, he has been in charge of Xi County in name only to attack Tuyuhun, but in fact he has neglected his duties and only indulged in pleasure. The troops under his command have neglected training and have low combat effectiveness. They are unable to carry out orders and prohibitions. At this moment, facing Yin Yuan's lifeless charge, he is frightened. Courage, no matter how much Li Huaiqin urged, he still surrounded and refused to attack.
"Commander, the enemy cavalry has arrived!"
As the scout shouted harshly, Li Huaiqin almost broke his teeth. He could only ignore Yin Yuan and loudly ordered the entire army to line up facing the east to meet the enemy.
After all, Yin Yuan only had less than a thousand soldiers and horses, and all of them were injured and exhausted, so the threat was relatively small. If they could not form their formation in time, they would most likely be overwhelmed by the cavalry led by Li Dazhi. In such an open area, the cavalry could maximize their maneuverability. Sex, huge lethality.
The encirclement was opened, leaving two to three thousand people to separate the Yin Yuan tribe from the main force and drive towards the Wei River. The Chinese army hurriedly formed a formation, with crossbowmen, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers arranged in layers, preparing to meet the impact of the cavalry. .
The noisy sound of the torrential rain could not cover up the cries of five thousand war horses galloping and charging. The cries of muffled thunder seemed to penetrate through the rain curtain, shaking people's hearts. The sound came from far and near, until it seemed that even the ground under their feet began to shake slightly. While trembling, the enemy's light cavalry suddenly appeared from the rain curtain, and countless war horses rushed over like a torrent, overwhelming mountains and seas!
"Boom!"
The charging cavalry slammed into the outermost array of sword and shield soldiers. The heavy body of the war horse and the kinetic energy of the charge formed an unparalleled huge momentum. His bones were broken and his tendons were broken, he was vomiting blood and flew backwards, leaving the entire battlefield in a mess.
The rain soaked the bow strings, greatly reducing the power of the crossbowmen. After the cavalry led by the prince's left guard overran the sword and shield soldiers' position, before the spearmen came up, they split into two and dispersed to both sides. After arriving at the two wings, There was another charge and slash.
The cavalry's mobility was so good that the defensive formation had no time to move before it was caught in the gaps on both wings and struck hard. When the formations were hurriedly moved to fill the gaps, the cavalry moved away again to find the next gap.
Without the threat of crossbowmen, and with huge space, the cavalry can calmly attack, retreat, organize, find gaps, and attack again...
Li Huaiqin was covered in cold sweat, and his clothes were already soaked. He didn't know whether it was the rain or the cold sweat, and his heart sank to the bottom. He yelled at the command loudly, which made his voice hoarse, but he couldn't get rid of the current situation of "I am a slave and I am a fish." "In this situation, the prince's left guard rate was like a wild wolf eyeing a flock of sheep. Instead of launching a decisive battle, he chewed the defensive array into pieces one by one, and then devoured his own troops one by one.
If things go on like this, they will be completely defeated and the whole army will be wiped out.
Fear rose from the bottom of his heart, and Li Huaiqin no longer cared about making contributions to the feudal side, and hurriedly gathered his own soldiers and retreated. The main force had no time to greet them. On the one hand, the army turned around too slowly. On the other hand, even if the whole army retreated, the prince's left guard would still be chasing him. How could two legs outrun four? The final outcome was still being bitten to death bit by bit and the entire army was annihilated.
They can only abandon the main force in front and use it to resist the cavalry led by the prince's left guard, giving themselves a chance to escape.
At this moment, Li Huaiqin couldn't care less about his grand plans and his achievements as a dragon. He only wanted to run quickly, get rid of the pursuit led by the crown prince Zuo Wei, return to Xi County and defend the city. At worst, he would wait until his Majesty wiped out the King of Jin, and then go there by himself. Chang'an bears a thorn to plead guilty, but with His Majesty's kindness, he may not be able to kill himself to death...
Li Huaiqin led his soldiers to suddenly leave the battlefield and retreat backwards, causing the army to lose morale. Panic swept through the entire army like a hurricane. The soldiers who were fighting bravely with the prince's left guard and his cavalry collapsed in an instant after hearing the news, and dropped their weapons one after another. He fled in all directions to avoid being chased by war horses.
Just in an instant, the army was defeated like a mountain.
Li Dazhi was leading his army to charge, and suddenly he felt that the pressure in front of him had dropped sharply. The enemy troops who had gathered in one place to resist tenaciously fled in all directions, and the front line completely collapsed. He was stunned for a moment and was unable to react.
When he learned that Li Huaiqin had abandoned his main force and fled westward, Li Dazhi was overjoyed. It was the first time in his life that he had led an army alone and achieved such a great victory. How could he not be satisfied? However, it was not complete yet and needed to continue its efforts. He immediately led his army to pursue Li Huaiqin in the direction of his escape.
However, countless defeated troops fled like headless flies among the fields, hills, and dense forests, seriously hindering Li Dazhi's marching speed. The war horses could not speed up on the chaotic battlefield, and could only continue to disperse and kill those in front of them. The defeated troops had no time to pursue Li Huaiqin.
Li Dazhi could only look angrily at the direction in which Li Huaiqin fled, and spat bitterly.
……
Yin Yuan's body was covered in blood, and his injured arm could not move. He could only swing the knife to kill the enemy with one hand. His physical strength was gradually exhausted. He opened his mouth wide and almost spit out his internal organs with every breath. His throat was in sharp pain like a knife, and the relatives around him Almost all of the soldiers were injured and stained with blood. They only managed to hold on with their last will, unwilling to fall easily under the enemy's blade.
Layers upon layers of enemies surged up from all directions, overwhelming people. Destruction was inevitable, and despair arose in everyone's hearts.
However, just when the disaster was about to come, the densely packed enemy suddenly fluctuated. At first, the small fluctuation was not noticeable, but just like the ripples caused by throwing stones into a pond, the fluctuation became larger and more intense, until The thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and the enemy troops surrounding them fled and dispersed in an instant.
Yin Yuan leaned on the ground with his knife, gasping for air. His legs were trembling and he tried to stand. This was a sign of excessive blood loss and physical exhaustion. Even though he had long been determined to die, he suddenly escaped and ascended to heaven in the desperate situation. The joy burst out uncontrollably.
"Haha, ha...cough cough cough." He looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time, then he stopped breathing and coughed violently. His face was covered with snot and tears, and he almost lost his breath.
"General, look!"
The soldiers around him stepped forward to support his shaky body and reminded him to look at the situation ahead.
Yin Yuan raised his head and saw that the main force of the enemy army had collapsed in the wind and rain. The defeated troops were running in all directions. The only remaining soldiers on his side had consciously formed a circular formation to prevent being attacked by the defeated troops. Not far away, A troop of more than a thousand people was withdrawing from the center of the battlefield and galloping towards them. (End of chapter)
