Chapter 678
The surging wave of cavalry came at their backs, completely shattering the Huns' last will to resist and pushing them into the abyss of despair.
Liu Ya has rich experience in fighting. When he climbed up to a high place and took a look, he saw that all the battalions were in chaos.
There is no longer a front army, a middle army, or a rear army, nor a left wing, a middle camp, or a right wing. They are all scrambling to escape, and it is chaos.
Liu Ya signaled with her eyes, the general nodded and ran down the high platform. In a moment, thousands of people were gathered together, and they were extremely conspicuous among the crowds of people running around.
They brought a sleek war horse, which was also very conspicuous among the thin horses.
“Take the men from the four guards of the East Palace with you, don’t lose them.” Liu Ya got on her horse and rushed out. Instead of escaping, she led the army to intercept the fastest charging Jin army and Shangdang. Jie Qi.
The general was speechless.
There is no other way but to execute it. Without Liu Ya, he would not be able to survive, and even his family members who had been sent to Hedong would be implicated.
In the chaos, he led a group of soldiers and packed up a group of horses that were not very strong. Whatever you have, give it to the officers of the four guards of the East Palace to distribute and escape on horseback - even if they are infantry, they can ride horses, but they are not proficient in mounted combat.
Someone was competing with them for horses. There were shouting matches and even sword fights, which greatly hindered efficiency. When disaster strikes, who the hell cares who you are!
Liu Runzhong personally led his three thousand cavalry. While other chiefs were charging and killing, he stared in the direction of Liu Ya and kept getting closer.
Liu Ya had just clashed with the Yi Congjun twice. Each suffered heavy casualties and the formation was scattered. Just as he started to gather up, he saw a stream of elite cavalry rushing towards him. There were more than a hundred cavalry at the front, some even wearing iron armor, waving long halberds and spears. With just one look, a gap was opened in his formation.
"Capture and kill this thief!" Liu Runzhong picked up his bow and arrow, and stretched out most of his body from the horse's back, leaving only his feet to clamp the horse's belly tightly, and charged forward.
"Whoosh!" On the bumpy horseback at high speed, an arrow flew out and hit Liu Ya like a miraculous figure.
Liu Yazheng was anxiously directing his soldiers to plug the leak. He was unexpectedly hit by a "streaming arrow". Although he was wearing iron armor, he could not stabilize his body in a hurry and fell off his horse.
The two sons who were following Liu Runzhong immediately stepped forward and fought fiercely, blocking Liu Ya's troops who were rushing over like a desperate move.
Both sides put life and death aside, never retreating, knives piercing flesh, and screams of agony could not be heard.
In an instant, the head of Liu Runzhong's second son, Liu Sui, flew high and fell to the ground.
The third son, Liu Quan, rushed forward and hit Liu Ya's helmet with a bang, knocking him to the ground as he stood up unsteadily. Then he turned around on his horse, not caring whether he was alive or dead, and reached out to fish him out. On horseback, he galloped away.
Liu Sui's soldiers, with their eyes red, fought with Liu Ya's soldiers who were equally powerful.
The two sides had no rules, only the most primitive and cruel fight.
Swords, guns, wooden poles, fists, teeth, whatever they are of no use, I don’t want to live anymore - if I run back alive, my whole family will die. If I die in battle, my family will be spared.
The soldiers are usually very popular and drink hot food. They take over the women who are tired of the boss's play. If anything happens, the boss will help you. The boss also takes care of your family. At the same time, it is easy to get promoted. Such treatment, Just to let you pay with your life at the critical moment.
Liu Runzhong was fighting in the rear and did not know what was going on in the front.
After several arrows, the thieves all fell down. Just when they were feeling proud, they saw the soldiers of the second son Liu Sui running back carrying a corpse and crying.
He opened his eyes wide and saw that even though he was mentally prepared to be in a battle formation, he still felt dizzy.
After rolling down from the horse with all hands and eight feet, he drew out his sword and struck Liu Sui's soldiers repeatedly.
The soldiers closed their eyes and suffered death, not daring or being ashamed to resist.
Liu Runzhong killed several people in a row before throwing down his sword and crying endlessly.
A large group of Jie people and Wuhuan cavalry bypassed from both sides and drove the Huns outward step by step.
Liu Runzhong stood up, wiped his tears and said: "Get on the horse, I will kill Liu Ya with my own hands."
"Liu Ya has been captured by the former military governor. If you offer it to Liang Sir, it may be of great use." A staff member ran over, took his hand and advised him.
Liu Runzhong slapped him with his hand, pulled out a short spear from under the saddle, stabbed him to death with one spear, then got on his horse, and ran away after seeing the flag of the third son.
******
Wang Queer stood on a temporarily assembled command vehicle, climbing up and looking into the distance.
The army attacking from the north city of Heyang was chasing the Huns northward, driving the Huns everywhere.
The fastest runner is the mule army.
This army of only 1,340 people is also a direct descendant of Master Shao: his disciples serve as officers.
At this moment, riding mules and horses, they quickly maneuvered through the chaotic battlefield, killing the defeated troops blocking the road, and rushed straight to the Wild King.
The gate of Yewang City is open. It's not that the guard doesn't know the soldiers, but that there will be people running away and they can't close the city gate at all.
The two chief and deputy governors, Jiang Ke and Xu Yu, took the lead and dismounted outside the south gate, leaving fifty people to gather their horses. The rest began to form formations, and then rushed into the chaotic Yewang with neat steps. Outside the south gate.
"Kill the thief!" The long heavy sword slashed straight down, and the enemy troops crowded inside and outside the city gate cried for their fathers and mothers, becoming more and more confused.
Actually, they are not all enemy troops. There are obviously many old, weak, women and children mixed in among them.
But how can the warriors who are so jealous of killing care about this? As long as someone is standing in front of him, he can kill him with one sword without blinking an eye.
Wherever the heavy sword passed, blood flowed into a river and there was a cry.
Under the threat of death, the soldiers and civilians of the Yewang who were rushing out ran back again. As a result, they collided head-on with the people who were driving out in carriages and horses, and fell into deep chaos. The soldiers of the Mule Army continued to move forward without stopping.
No one dared to resist them. Everyone was pushing and crying. Old people, children, women, and teenagers were chopped into limbs and limbs, and their heads were rolling everywhere. go.
There were those who were awake and squatted directly against the city gate. No one bothered them specifically, so they were simply ignored. But most people fell into panic, running around, hysterical, and with amazing strength, they were chopped down to the ground.
Just like this, we cleaned up bit by bit and pushed forward bit by bit. Soon, our eyes lit up and more than a thousand soldiers broke into the city gate.
On the streets and alleys, there are people everywhere carrying simple baggage, supporting the old and the young, and frantically fleeing out of the city.
The Mule Army ignored them and divided out 300 people to control the city gate. The remaining 1,000 people continued to move forward, marching in neat steps, casually cutting down the small groups of enemy troops they encountered, and crushing any enemy forces. possible resistance.
There were broken soldiers running back outside the city one after another. When they arrived at the south gate, they met the soldiers of the Mule Army who were staying here, and they immediately started fighting. The enemy's morale was low and they fought with anxiety. When they reached the critical point, they turned around and ran away.
Hundreds of government soldiers rushed over on horseback and dismounted outside the south gate.
As soon as the formation was completed, they encountered a group of enemy cavalry who had fled back. They immediately used the terrain of the city gate to scare the enemy cavalry back by slashing and shooting.
Yicong Qingqi arrived from behind, but the enemy cavalry was unwilling to fight and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
After a stick of incense, another group of soldiers arrived and dismounted and entered the city.
The difference between having horses and not having horses is really huge.
With horses, even infantry can maneuver quickly and seize the target before the enemy.
Without horses, we can only advance step by step, lacking "battlefield explosive power."
The mule army and the government soldiers successively sent more than 2,000 soldiers into the city. They controlled the wild king at the critical moment and did not let the retreating enemy army occupy the city. The fight between the trapped beasts was already worthwhile. All invested.
Now, a gate of the capital of Hanoi is in their hands. The Huns army is scattered all over the ground, scrambling for their lives. This pursuit is coming to an end, and there is no suspense about the change of ownership in Hanoi.
Just wait for Mr. Liang to come.
******
Liang Gong did not arrive at Yewang until the day after the pursuit in Hanoi ended.
They defeated a Xiongnu army halfway and captured a thousand people. After a while, they identified them: refugees, Wubao Dingzhuang, Xiongnu herdsmen, Hanoi County soldiers and so on.
This is also the actual situation of Liu Ya's army: there are everyone, and they are disorganized.
On the evening of the fourth day of October, Shao Xun crossed the Qinshui River and inserted the big banner in the east of the city.
The main force did not complete crossing the river until the fifth night of the Lunar New Year and set up camp outside Hanoi City.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, two troops left the camp one after another without stopping.
One group was commanded by Tao Bao and Liu Hedu, supplemented by some Hebei farmers and soldiers, with a total of 10,000 infantry and cavalry, plus 3,000 civilian troops from Guo Mo's tribe, heading west to collect Qinshui and Zhiguan - according to reports, Liu Xian, King of Quyang of the Xiongnu, appeared in Zhiguan, seemingly with a plan.
A force led by Tang Jian and Ju Quchong, with 5,000 infantry and cavalry, went north from Yewang and entered Gaodu to reinforce Liu Zhao's tribe - Liu Yao may have already reacted and is mobilizing troops. The Shangdang went south to capture the Jincheng Basin.
He Lun was responsible for contacting Liu Qia, and the two worked together to transport grain and grass.
In addition to these two groups, Man Heng and Liu Hezhu supervised thousands of cavalry troops, scattered outside, capturing prisoners and mopping up the remaining enemies.
On the sixth morning of the Lunar New Year, Shao Xun came to the foot of Yewang City and looked at the dilapidated city.
He is very satisfied with the battle till today.
After Wenshijin crossed the river, he attacked the city twice and fought two field battles, winning both times and fighting very smoothly.
This is the moment.
Position is a "tactic of war" that he likes to use very much.
He once told Jin Dao and Badger Lang that "power" is the top art of war in the world. Martial arts can determine the tripod, and literary skills can stabilize the country. They must learn it.
The depth of learning and the wonder of application lie in one mind.
He rarely plays tricks with the gentry and old bureaucrats. They have been learning this since they were young. Have you ever really played with them?
He only knows the art of war.
Using the severe external situation to force the nobles to tolerate him for the sake of the country is the art of war.
Marriage with the Yingchuan gentry, draw one faction to fight another, and become the leader of the Henan alliance. This is the art of war.
Creating an interest class and using them to balance the noble clans is also the art of war.
The art of war has been applied in place, and the general trend is mine. Although there are partial conflicts of interest, the overall situation is consistent. Why bother with all the hard work? It's so embarrassing to look down upon!
“Write a letter to Taiwei Wang and ask him to report that Liang Guo will take over the two counties of Hanoi and Shangdang.”
“Tell Liu Runzhong that the prefect of Shangdang belongs to him. Change the Xiongnu River Yang County is Heqing County, and Liu Quan is the general of Heqing Town."
"Let the father and son come to see me."
After that, surrounded by his own troops, he entered the Wild King's City.
