The vanguard of Yunnan Province Zuo Qian, the six-character Qingbian military flag is still floating in the northwest wind.
Yin Desheng's camp was placed there like a hard rock; they seemed to inspire other vanguard troops in Yunnan, and the left-wing phalanx group had stopped retreating and were still fighting fiercely.
Bang bang bang bang... The muskets in front flashed, and a huge noise enveloped the soldiers.
The enemy infantry in the front continued to attack, while the Han Wang army formations on the right had collapsed; the enemy cavalry was rushing on the flanks, and the sound of bowstrings continued.
The phalanx led by Yin Desheng had heavy casualties, which was reduced by half compared to the beginning!The outside of the queue was filled with dense corpses, including those who died in the Han Wang army and a large number of officials.
The disgusting and strong smell of blood and the foul smell of feces float everywhere in the wind and the choking smoke.
Although the soldiers of the Yunnan Forward Zuo Qian Corps fought bravely to fight the enemy, their flesh and blood would continue to be injured and killed under the swords, guns and firearms.
The exhausted person at the forefront cannot get a rest and dies faster!
In order not to break through the formation, Yin Desheng continued to mobilize his troops. Whenever the troops were reduced, he would shrink the square formation a little.
But if this continues, the entire army will soon be wiped out!This is an ending that cannot be avoided with morale and fighting spirit.
There was a wasteland in the middle of the formation, and the injured soldiers were placed on the open space, and there were screaming and moaning everywhere, which was terrible.
Several wounded soldiers were talking about their mothers at the same time. When people could not bear the pain, they always seemed to miss the warmth of their motherhood.
Yin Desheng stood in the middle of the square formation, holding a spear in his left hand and holding the flagpole in his right hand and stabbing it into the ground.
An arrow was inserted into his left leg, and his gray pants were soaked with blood and turned darker.
The soldiers around him held shields and stood in front of Yin Desheng.
At present, Yin Desheng has no choice.
The square formation in front is being attacked by heavy enemy troops, and the left wing even rumbles the sound of horse hooves behind!
The entire square formation must collapse immediately and be wiped out if it moves slightly.
Fortunately, he deployed a defensive formation before the war, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.
The soldiers on all sides shouted desperately from time to time, and Yin Desheng felt the breath of death approaching.
Many people he knew before had died, and faces of joy and sorrow appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly: Reinforcements are coming!Reinforcements are coming!
Many people looked east with Yin Desheng, and indeed saw countless infantry columns trotting over on a hillside to the east, and the white filial cloth on people's helmets were undulating.
They should be General Qu Neng nearby and reinforcements transferred in time!
When the soldiers saw the reinforcements of the Han Wang Army, they shouted loudly and their morale was boosted again!Some generals took the opportunity to inspire: If you resist the enemy, we will be alive!
On the distant hillside, there was a cry of familiar and moving shouting, "The King of Han is our king... The words that are already familiar to the army seem particularly friendly at this time, and the soldiers of the remaining soldiers showed excitement on their faces.
...At the past, on this land, the two sides formed a magnificent and huge camp, confronting north and south through two or three miles; and at present, the battlefield has long changed and chaos is becoming more and more intense between the world!
The sun in the east has not reached the middle of the sky.A large amount of dust and smoke floated in the air, as if the sun was covered with a layer of haze.
In Zhang Fu's sight, Tan Zhongjun was completely defeated.
He saw dozens of heavy artillery fired in the east side, and shells pierced through the crowd and rows of soldiers fell; he also saw the rebel cavalry running together, detouring straight on the north side.
The official and cavalry army mobilized nearly half of the cavalry to the western front, and the remaining cavalry failed to withstand the rushing and expulsion of the rebel cavalry.
Not long ago, Tan Zhongjun was attacked by three sides by the Han Wang army on the east side, Sheng Yong army on the south side, and Ping'an army on the north side. The official army formation was hit by several fierce heavy artillery fires by the rebels... Tan Zhongjun resisted for less than half an hour, and was faster than Xue Lu army's defeat!
At this time, on the rolling hillsides to the north and west, between the fields, from a distance, people looked like frightened ant colonies, and the fragile soldiers covered the mountains and the ground in a mess.
In such a huge battlefield, you can't see the west end.
But Zhang Fu had already understood the situation... The rebels' King's troops and the Ping'an troops took the lead in attacking and defeating Xue Lu's troops, and then the rebels' Sheng Yong's troops attacked from the south; several large armies then besieged Tan Zhong's troops; then, the vanguard of the rebels' Qu Neng's troops also attacked from the front.
At this time, Qu Neng's front army was about to approach the formation of more than 40,000 central troops and more than 80,000 Chen Mao's army.
Starting this morning, the entire formation and attack of the Han King rebels were in order, and they rushed back and forth like waves.
Zhang Fu's entire troops will inevitably enter the battle at this time.
The armies of Xue Lu and Tan Zhong have been defeated and broken; the Central Army and Chen Mao's army are about to be besieged from three sides; the Liu Sheng army is attacking the rebel Zhao Ping's troops in the southwest...
At this moment, a cavalry rushed towards the flag of the official army.
The visitor turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and said: "Report to General Zhang, General Liu attacked the rebel Zhao Ping's troops and defeated the frontal rebels and penetrated the backwards!"The arrival of the rebels' powerful team and reinforcements from the east cannot repel General Liu's offensive; the rebels are fighting stubbornly!
It sounds good news, but Zhang Fu has no joy at all.He waved his hand and said: I understand.
The sergeant in front of him clasped his fists and bowed, and stood up.
Zhang Fu watched the Han Wang army formation on the east side gradually spread westward; countless square formations on Sheng Yong were also gradually coming out, approaching the central army from the southeast; most of Qu Neng's troops were almost approaching the front... Zhang Fu reached into his arms with a trembling hand and took out a roll of damp and softened map.
He had already understood the situation at this time and realized that ordering Liu Sheng's troops to attack was a mistake, but just a vain struggle!
Because even if Liu Sheng can completely defeat the west side, defeat Zhao Ping's rebels, or even defeat some of Qu Neng's army, it still has little significance; after the official army inevitably loses the entire battlefield, Liu Sheng's army will definitely not be able to pursue and expand the results of the battle.
How effective is a local victory without much success in a battle?
At this moment, Zhang Fu was not regretful in his heart. After all, even if he did not order Liu Sheng to attack, he would be defeated. Zhang Fu had only heavy, cold and despair in his heart.
He also knew why he made a mistake, perhaps subconsciously, he was just knowingly doing it!
He could not face such a huge and serious defeat, and even if there was a glimmer of luck, he wanted to try it.
Unfortunately, the big things in this world are like torrents, and they will hardly be changed by one or two people, but will only slowly develop and rush in the original direction.Miracles are always too few!
The miracle that Zhang Fu was looking forward to never happened... When he looked back suddenly, he suddenly realized sadly that he seemed to have become a sad beggar!
He persisted until the last moment of the battle, but took out all his troops and now he had nothing.
Zhang Fu expanded the map in his hand, but the drawings were shaking violently.His actions attracted the attention of the generals, and people looked at each other sideways.
Four hundred thousand army!It was wiped out in half a day...
The blue veins on Zhang Fu's forehead were swollen and almost cracked!
His forehead was covered with sweat, and the cold wind in early winter could not calm him down.
At this moment, he wanted to cry out loud!
How much I think the whole world understands his suffering!
However, Zhang Fu finally made no sound. He buried his head, faced the land, and gritted his teeth; two clear snot emerged from his nose, shaking with his trembling head in the air.
It seemed that his chest was stabbed hard, and the cold blade stirred in the five internal organs, and a severe pain emanated from every pore.
Endless regret, despair, confusion, and pain rolling in his body... This is probably the feeling of complete defeat.
The Grand Marshal... A general called out carefully.
Zhang Fu raised his head, took out a white handkerchief to wipe his nose, and responded with a sweaty face.
His voice was a little hoarse and powerless, and he immediately sent someone to pass an order to order Liu Sheng to retreat quickly while the rebels had not yet attacked him!
A general clasped his fists and said: The last general got the order...Master, where should General Liu retreat?
Zhang Fu said: The farther the better!It is necessary that the entire army will not collapse, and ask him to leave the battlefield immediately and as soon as possible, and then retreat northeastward!
Get order!
Zhang Fu turned his head and said: Order Chen Mao, the rear army should carefully retreat north slowly; the front army should try its best to deploy four-sided defensive formations to resist the rebels' attack!
Another general responded: The last general is ordered!
The general around him asked: General, what should I do with the Central Army?
Zhang Fu said coldly: The central army is over!There is no need to issue any orders to let each department resist, and the war will last as long as it can.The cavalry generals were ordered to immediately take control of Liu Sheng, withdraw from the battlefield and protect Liu Sheng's army from retreating.
On the wide battlefield, huge noise was still permeating the world, but there was a silence around Zhang Fu at this moment, looking lifeless.No military general and civil servant said another word.
Zhang Fu also sat on the horse powerlessly and motionless. He gradually calmed down from the violent emotions of collapse, leaving only confusion and despair.
He fought hard to fight the Hongxi court that he supported, and his future was worrying; his family and noble family status were also shattered... In just half a day, everything changed.
Zhang Fu buried his head in his eyes and felt even more troubled about how the defeated generals escaped the pursuit.
This place is located on the east bank of Fuyi River, and not far from the north is Shaoyang County.
However, the defeated army of the government cannot stay in Shaoyang County, otherwise they will be surrounded; nor can they cross the north of Zishui from the county town.
Even Baoqing Prefecture City cannot enter!
The only way to get closer to Xiangjiang River at the moment is to try your best.Because there is no city here that can block the rebels; within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no official reinforcements that can resist the rebels' offensive.
Yin Desheng's camp was placed there like a hard rock; they seemed to inspire other vanguard troops in Yunnan, and the left-wing phalanx group had stopped retreating and were still fighting fiercely.
Bang bang bang bang... The muskets in front flashed, and a huge noise enveloped the soldiers.
