Night fell again, but Hu Yansheng fled with a group of remnants of the defeated generals on war horses, and behind them was a large number of Han light cavalry trailing, and the escape and chase between the two sides had been going on for a full ten miles. \ This is a night with a big full moon, and the moonlight can provide enough light under the clouds, and it seems that Hu Yansheng's men and horses will not exceed 1,000, they are actually a group of nearly 50,000 people who are on the run, and there are scenes of escape and pursuit everywhere in the wilderness.
Hu Yansheng led the army to intercept the cavalry of the Han army, and since the Han army crossed Jishui along the way, the battle situation was unfavorable for the intercepted Qiang troops.
The same is cavalry, but the cavalry is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, not only the difference between weapons and armor, but also the advantages and disadvantages of sitting on the war horse, the Han army is just a tiger army to make Hu Yansheng this part of the pressure is extremely great, and there are close to 25,000 cavalry and light cavalry, it seems that there are more Han cavalry across the river, Hu Yansheng insisted on almost four days, and in the afternoon encountered the Han army's lifeless rush to the camp, staged a horse and pedal joint camp to collapse.
There were not many cavalrymen on both sides who died on the spot, and the number of people who died in the pursuit and escape behind was estimated to be very limited, and the real thing was that Hu Yansheng lost control over the troops under his command.
The cavalry of the Han army, which was chasing Hu Yansheng, was led by Qian Jiantong and was a light cavalry that looked light.
Qian Jiantong was ordered to pursue and kill this enemy army of about 1,000 men, but a red line was drawn, and he could only chase it to five miles close to the main battlefield, and when he reached it, he should go to the banks of the Yellow River.
Most of the Han troops who pursued and killed the Qiang rout were given similar orders, that is, the pursuit of the enemy army could only be the goal of the third sequence, the first goal was to destroy the pontoon bridge built by the Qiang army, and the second goal was to move to the direction of Zhu'a County.
They were asked not to be taken alive, so there was a scene where after the forced landing of enemy soldiers, they were first tied up in strings and then killed one by one.
"Hurry up, hurry up" Qian Jiantong yelled: "Turn" In front of them was the main battlefield that was blazing, and even from a distance of five miles, the sound of trumpets and drums could be heard.
Zhu'a County is in the southwest of the main battlefield, where is the western outlet of the narrow section between the Yellow River and Jishui, and it is actually relatively close to Dongping County.
Liu Yan took such a big risk and used his own body as bait, of course, with the intention of annihilating the Qiang people, and the situation they set up was quite large, far more than the main battlefield and peripheral battlefields, including the Han army in the direction of Dongping County and Yuzhou, which was also serving the entire grand strategy.
Luoyin is 60 miles away from the Yellow River, and the number of Qiang troops is too large, and the camp they set up is actually closer to the Yellow River.
First, a group of Qiang routs fled back, and then several batches one after another, each batch of Qiang routs must be followed by a Han army, and the result is that the two sides arrive one after the other.
The first question Hu Yansheng asked after entering the camp was: "Where is the military master?"
The Qiang soldiers who stayed in the camp were actually panicked, that was the news of the defeat brought back by a large number of routs, and the Han army followed the rout and rushed into the camp, causing chaos in the camp in the east At the same time, there was also a fire in the camp.
Yao Yizhong still waited for the chaos in the rear camp to know what was happening.
He didn't have to guess too much, and he knew in an instant that one of the Han armies responsible for blocking the two lines had been defeated, and it was an extremely ugly defeat.
It didn't take long for Hu Yansheng to appear in front of Yao Yizhong, and when he was far away from Yao Yizhong, he pushed the golden mountain and knelt down, shouting "guilty", with a sad look.
Yao Yizhong is actually a very self-contained person, but at this time, what self-cultivation and what bearing are thrown aside, he kicked Hu Yansheng down with a hideous face, and asked viciously: "Defeated to the point that he didn't even have time to send someone back to warn in advance?"
Hu Yansheng cried with a sad face, and shouted: "The enemy army has created the illusion of inability to attack in the past two days, and we have not rashly left the camp to fight, nor have we relaxed our vigilance, but they have ruthlessly charged the camp with assault cavalry at any cost, and finally" Yao Yizhong was stunned, of course he knew that if the cavalry charged at any cost, they would not be able to stop it without a sharp enough bow and crossbow, and the Han army cavalry on this side of the main battlefield had also launched a decisive attack.
At that time, he understood that he already had the intention of retreating, and Liu Yan must have guessed it, but the result was that the Han army didn't care about casualties at all, and began to be ruthless.
There is no extra time to recall anything, Yao Yizhong did not pay attention to Hu Yansheng, he yelled at his henchmen: "Take people to stick to the Yellow River pontoon bridge" There were troops from the periphery coming continuously, and the Han army naturally found that bursts of cheers were shouted, and the non-systematic troops that had been transferred to rest began to mobilize.
"Brethren, it's our turn to counterattack" In the past half month, the Han army has always been on the defensive, only in some parts of the counterattack, the battle was quite passive, to say that the soldiers did not hold back the fire in their hearts, how could it be.
The officers were shouting loudly to boost their morale, and the soldiers were excited by the arrival of reinforcements, and one by one they were not confused or hesitant, and they all shouted that they would kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor.
The rise and fall of morale has never been unilateral, the morale of the Han army has been greatly boosted, and the morale of the Qiang troops has naturally been frustrated.
The Han cavalry who came to help did not rush to the main battlefield to meet Liu Yan's headquarters after coming, they had the opportunity to enter the camp of the Qiang army to create chaos, and more rushed to the position of the pontoon bridge.
Speaking of which, Yao Yizhong still attaches great importance to the defense of the location of the pontoon bridge, and the arch guards arranged are all elites under his command.
This arrangement of his had wasted the few elites he had before, but when the Han army killed him, he became extremely wise.
When the Han army came, Yao Xiang was taking a large number of old and weak women and children to prepare to go to the north bank of the Yellow River from the pontoon bridge.
If it weren't for the elite Yao Xiang who was guarding the guard, he looked at the people in front of him and thought with a little fear: I'm afraid that in the face of such a fierce Han cavalry, it should be crushed at the first touch The sudden killing of the Han army changed a lot, and the Qiang soldiers who originally sacrificed their lives to attack the last line of defense where Liu Yan was located, they retreated in large numbers for the first time, which was a kind of discouragement after doing something with a breath and finding that there was no hope.
Hope is born and then dashed, there is nothing more devastating than this, seeing the retreat of his own attacking troops, and then seeing the counterattack of the Han army in the camp, Yao Yizhong has no nonsense is to turn the horse's head and go to the core camp, he wants to arrange the camp to stick to the problem, and he should also concentrate the elite, it's time to plot the future
