Chapter 108 Bai Jianghe River

At this time, they couldn't escape, and many officers and soldiers also lost their last courage. They got off their horses and lost their weapons one after another. They knelt on the ground and shouted to spare their lives. Don't kill them again. Only a few soldiers protected Zu Kuan to escape from the battlefield, but even if they escaped from here, Zu Kuan was hit by two bullets. He was seriously injured. Under the guard of several servants, he rushed out of the siege and reluctantly fled in the direction of the crossing bridge.

Zu Dale was leading his troops to cross the river and accelerate in the direction of Yichuan. Suddenly, he heard a roar like thunder in the northwest direction not far from them. Suddenly, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered to stop moving forward and sent out the night to explore the place where the sound of gunfire came.

It didn't take long for the night to send people to protect several people covered in blood and ran back. Zu Kuan lay in the north of the injured horse. As soon as he returned to Zu Dale, the injured horse fell to the ground with a hissing sound. If someone hadn't rushed forward to help, Zu Kuan would have been pressed under the horse.

Zu Kuan, with a pale face, looked up at Zu Dale and coughed his blood and shouted, "Your Excellency, withdraw quickly! The thief army has an ambush! We have been tricked!"

If Zu Da Le still doesn't understand what's going on at this moment, it will be strange. After hearing Zu Kuan's words, he immediately shouted, "Get General Zu down for treatment quickly, turn around on the spot, and quickly withdraw to the bridge!"

The officers and soldiers, who were already in high morale, also realized that something big had happened. Even if they were smart, even if they wanted to understand what had happened, they realized that the big thing was not good when they thought that the thieves were ambush here, so fear suddenly began to spread among the officers and soldiers. Even the Guanning Army was still the old-style army, compared with There is still a long way to go for an army like the Xingtian Army, which is trained in the way of modern training.

When fighting a downwind battle, the morale of the officers and soldiers can be very high, but once they fall in the middle, even the generals of the Guanning Army, who are known as strong soldiers, can't control their emotions. After receiving the order to retreat, the officers and soldiers of the brigade began to turn around in a panic and rushing towards the way.

In a hurry, Zu Dale did not have time to control the generals. Suddenly, the officers and soldiers were in chaos, especially those accompanying the auxiliary soldiers. They were not well-trained elite soldiers. They followed them to be responsible for running errands and pulling things, but when they learned that Zu Kuan's department in front of them was almost killed by the thief army. After giving the news that the whole army was destroyed, it immediately became completely chaotic like the bees that had blown up their nests, and they rushed to the cross bridge one after another.

At this time, the battalions of the Xingtian Army, which had just besieged and annihilated Zu Kuan's headquarters, also rushed towards the ferry at a rapid speed. Although the difference between the two sides was not too far, because Zu Kuan was lying in the middle, Zu Dale also panicked. He lost the fighting spirit just now, and it was even more unclear that Xing Tianjun was here. How many ambush soldiers have been set up in the surrounding area? I just want to quickly return to the south bank of the Bai River and get out of this dangerous land.

As soon as they saw the various flags of the Xingtian Army appear on the horizon, the officers and soldiers who had already been a little confused, which aggravated their fear. The more they were afraid, the more they were. In order to return to the bridge and cross the Bai River as soon as possible, the cavalry simply began to beat them in order to return to the bridge and cross the Bai River as possible. Let them make way, and the auxiliary soldiers are also in a hurry to run back now. How can they let these Guanning soldiers go first? So there was a conflict.

Some people scolded, some people screamed, and some people simply moved their knives. Before the Xing Tianjun came over, the generals of Guan Ning's army first attacked their auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers were definitely not the opponents of Guan Ning's army. As soon as they saw the blood, they immediately dispersed, and the heavy carrying along with them All the things were lost on the road, regardless of it, while Guan Ning's army bypassed these fleeing auxiliary soldiers and hurried to the bridge.

In a word, before the war began, Zu Dale's department first messed up and was chased by Xing Tianjun and fled in the direction of the crossing bridge. Even many establishments began to be confused at this time. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not control the soldiers. In this way, in addition to being more chaotic, Zu Dale had no choice. It is.

Xing Tianjun did not chase too quickly. He was behind the officers and soldiers, slowly squeezed them towards the crossing bridge, and gradually formed a semi-circular encirclement, covering the officers and soldiers in a small area centered on the crossing bridge.

At the end of March, the river was still very cold. Generally speaking, people would not choose to jump into the river and cross the river, so the officers and soldiers rushed up to the pontoon bridge. From time to time, some people were squeezed into the river, making a ploping sound of falling into the water, and many of them were scolding each other.

But at this time, on the south bank, there was a sudden sound of killing. A small number of auxiliary soldiers who had been left on the south bank of the pontoon bridge suddenly were like bombing camp, shouting and running in the direction of the crossing bridge. These soldiers and horses were originally Zu Dale who stayed on the south side of the pontoon bridge and were responsible for guarding the pontoon bridge. Clean up the barracks left by Xing Tianjun on the South Bank just now, and clean up the supplies discarded by Xing Tianjun.

But what they didn't expect was that at this time, a Hundreds of Xingtian Army cavalry suddenly killed here, and there was almost no suspense to kill the officers and soldiers left on the south side of the pontoon bridge. The cavalry of the Xingtian Army almost rolled up to the Bai Jiang River like a gust of wind. The south bank blocked the retreat of the officers and soldiers back to the south bank, and under the leadership of a general, the wind killed a group of officers and soldiers who had just escaped from the river, and even drove some people back to the Bai Jiang River.

Zu Dale's scalp is numb at this time. To be honest, he is at least more brave than Zu Kuan, but he does not have the courage of Zu Kuan. Although the official position is bigger than Zu Kuan, once he is in adversity, it is quite unbearable.

When he saw that there were thieves on both sides of the north and south, he panicked. Under the guard of his family, he waved a whip to disperse the soldiers who blocked the road. He rushed back to the bridge and looked at the other side. As a result, he saw that some of the thieves on the other side got off their horses, took out their bows and put on rockets and aimed at the float. Bridge.

At this time, Zu Dale understood why the thief army did not ignite the bridge when it was just cheated. It turned out that they dug a pit and waited for him to jump. The fire oil spilled on the pontoon bridge was simply prepared for them at this time. Only dozens of rockets rose in the hands of the thief on the other side of the river. There were arcs in the air, making a sound and falling on the pontoon bridge.

When the fire oil met the rocket, it suddenly raised flames. Before long, there was a fire on the pontoon bridge. Even the officers and soldiers who did not know how to advance and retreat on the pontoon bridge were also burned into turkeys, and they rushed into the cold river one by one.

"The whole team! Hurry up and complete the team! Cross the river! Beat the thieves on the other side of the river and return to Ruzhou City!" Zu Dale was really panicked at this time. He hurriedly gave the order, and ordered the Guanning army under his command to quickly line up and cross the river to return to Ruzhou City.

But now his soldiers and horses are in chaos. How can he organize to cross the river in a moment? Even if some officers and soldiers obeyed the order to escape, they jumped into the river and rushed to the other side, but they could not form a large-scale assault force.

The Xingtian army cavalry on the other side of the river did not give it in vain. Even if Situ Liang organized archers or soldiers with birds or short swords, he got off the horse to arrange the defense line along the river, and began to release arrows at the officers and soldiers who jumped into the Baidang River. The war horses were inconvenient to move in the river. The immediate officers and soldiers were in front of the eyes of the Xingtian Army. Like a live target, it was shot in the river one after another. Large areas of the river turned blood red. Dead horses and dead people gradually began to pile up in the river, and some dead horses floated on the river and drifted downstream.

Seeing that many officers and soldiers rushed down the river but were shot into the river like targets by the Xing Tianjun, more officers and soldiers also began to panic. Once they lost their morale, Guan Ning's army did not count. Therefore, no matter how Zu Dale shouted and ordered, these officers and soldiers no longer dared to go down to the other side of the river and rushed to the river. They were so chaotic. Squeeze into a ball.

It didn't take such a long time, but it gave Xiao Tianjian the opportunity to tighten the whole encirclement on the north bank of the river. Li Shuanzhu also reconvened his scattered subordinates and joined the front. The Xing Tianjun of the four battalions became one, forming two or three lines of defenses on the periphery of the officers and the army, just like an upside-down. The pot was like a pot, covering Zu Dale's part to death by the Bai Jiang River.

At this time, Zu Dale's headquarters looked at the situation around them and was frightened. They only saw countless members of the Xingtian Army coming towards them from all directions. A team of neat arrays arranged around them, a black hole gun pointed to their position, and a row. The platoon's long guns and bird guns aimed at them and flattened them down.

If it hadn't been for Zu Dale's panic just now, once it was found that the Xingtian army cavalry broke their back road on the south bank, he would immediately organize his cavalry to concentrate and break out in one direction. With the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Guanning army, Xiao Tianjian may really have nothing to do with them. At most, he can only The auxiliary soldiers we led were trapped here, but the main force of the Guanning army under the command of Zu Dale still had a full chance to break out.

However, it was precisely because Zu Dale saw the destruction of Zu Kuan's troops that he couldn't figure out how many ambush the Xingtian Army had set up here, so that they lost their best opportunity to break out. When Zu Dale gathered his men slightly, the two sides of the Bai River were already full of dense Xingtian Army Department. Everyone, the black hole gun mouth and the dense bird gun mouth are all aimed at them. If they are a group of soldiers with strong fighting spirit, then at this time, maybe Zu Dale will lead his troops to make the last desperate charge. Maybe there will be some officers and soldiers who can kill through the siege and escape from here. There is no cavalry in the Xingtian Army on the north coast, that is, Even if they want to chase, they may not be able to catch up with them, but unfortunately, Chazu Da Le doesn't want to die, and he doesn't have the courage to charge, so that they have lost the hope of the final breakthrough.
