Chapter 328: Reversal
The outcome of a war that the generals of both sides worked hard and tried their best to calculate sometimes depends on a small incident that was inconspicuous at all.
Experienced generals sometimes have wealth, but at some specific times, experience becomes a disaster. Although such things are rare and even rare, they do not never happen.
Feng Lun is a veteran and has extremely rich experience. In his past life, when the war was fought like this, the enemy basically lost its combat effectiveness. For example, in today's battle, the losses of the Wuwei Army even exceeded his estimate.
Liu Chenglin had only five thousand soldiers under his command, and two Qu crossed the river to fight. Even if the entire army was not wiped out, there was little left. His main central army was surrounded by dozens of times the opponents and was divided into small combat groups that were not connected to each other. No matter how powerful they were, they would end up being swallowed up.
Li De's cavalry was in a bad mood. Even if he could regroup, it would not be something that could be done in a short time. After he regrouped, the overall situation of the entire battlefield was decided.
What Feng Lun wanted was to defeat Liu Chenglin's main force, but in fact he did it too.
Judging from Feng Lun's years of combat experience, the rest is when he reaps military achievements. The overall situation of this battle has been decided.
But he never expected that the Wuwei Army that he fought against this time was very different from the army he had encountered before.
The first thing that unexpected was the cavalry of Wuwei.
After experiencing the initial bombing camp, these cavalry, which had already collapsed, actually restored their establishment in a very short time. What's more terrible is that their commanders were extremely clear-headed. Even if Liu Chenglin was in danger, he did not rush to rescue their commander. Even at this moment, he still wanted to seek victory in the battle.
Nearly two thousand cavalry after their construction is a deadly force for the current battlefield.
The second unexpected thing is the huge combat power that Liu Chenglin's main central army burst out in desperate situations. It will be the courage of the army. At this moment, Liu Chenglin's personal bravery greatly stabilized the morale of the army. This made Feng Lun's hope of annihilation of Liu Chenglin's main central army in the shortest time.
They are like reefs in the sea, flooded by huge waves again and again, but they still stand proudly, and the big banner with the willow character never fell down.
The third thing I didn't expect was that after the army left by Liu Chenglin's camp arrived at the battlefield, he did not choose to rescue Liu Chenglin, but rushed straight to Shi Jiawu.
The opponent's performance was beyond Feng Lun's understanding of all the troops he encountered in the past, even their Lu Long's army. This blind spot in his cognition led to his command mistakes, and his all-out attack became the biggest defeat in this battle.
The cavalry under Li De's command now became the Death Scythe on the battlefield. Wherever he went, blood flowed into a river. The ordinary villagers of Shijiawubao who rushed out with their blood and courage were not much better than those of the lambs in front of these well-trained sergeants. Even those village warriors, facing the impact of the cavalry, were the only thing they could do was escape.
What made Feng Lun frightened was that the combat ideas of this cavalry were quite clear. Instead of just jumping to the end, they drove away, killed and drove more people to the center of the battlefield, which was equivalent to adding more pressure to Liu Chenglin, the chief general of the Wuwei Army at the center of the battlefield.
Feng Lun even thought that the cavalry general had a grudge against Liu Chenglin, so he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Liu Chenglin. But this idea just flashed through his head. He knew Liu Chenglin's status in the Wuwei army. He was the brother-in-law of Li Ze, the general of Wuwei Jie, and this cavalry general was born into Li Ze's direct subordinate, so he would never have the idea of killing Liu Chenglin.
Excluding this one can only mean that this man named Li De has absolute confidence in Liu Chenglin's ability to hold on, and he is not worried that Liu Chenglin will cause trouble for him afterwards. The only purpose of his doing so is to cover another Wuwei army led by Hou Fangyu to seize Shijiawu Fort.
If it were in normal times, a team of more than a thousand people would naturally not be able to take over the steep and steep Shijiawu, but it was different at this moment. Shijiawu has become an empty shell. All those who can fight are now concentrated on the battlefield, but they were blocked by this cavalry on the side of the stone bridge that leads to Shijiawu.
Seeing the army under Hou Fangyu approaching the stone bridge, Feng Lun roared in despair, turned around and ran upstream with his elite.
Shi Kui, the leader of the Shijia Fort, finally discovered that the battlefield had been reversed in this short period of time. The small circular formation of Liu Chenglin's central army was not far from him. It seemed to be flying in the wind and rain, but it was still resolute. Another Wuwei army had crossed the stone bridge and directly attacked the Wuwei cavalry, and there was still a Wuwei cavalry between them and the Wuwei.
The villagers on the outside had completely dispersed. Wherever they could see were all panicked and fleeing villagers and village heroes.
This is the gap between the regular army and the miscellaneous brands. Even if a regular army suffers serious trauma, as long as the leader is still there, they can always organize an effective counterattack within a certain range. When playing a miscellaneous brand, they are extremely brave when fighting with the wind. Once they suffer setbacks, even the wise generals are unable to make the situation come true.
Shi Kui saw Feng Lun run away.
He screamed angrily, gathered all the power behind him that could be gathered, turned around and ran towards Shijiawu Fort, where he was going to rescue Shijiawu.
Feng Lun did not move towards the Fort, he ran away. But Shi Kui could not run. This was his home, everything for him. If he lost Shi Jiawu, he was nothing.
Li De was as powerful as a mad tiger. The spear in his hand had been broken and the horizontal knife had already been cut and rolled up. He picked up a spear on the battlefield casually, and then stabbed everyone in front of him to death or smashed him to death without mercy, no matter whether the man was a white-haired old man or a childish half-aged child, no matter whether the man was rushing towards him fiercely or kneeling down in horror to beg for mercy.
In this battle, their losses were too great.
Beside the stone bridge, on the embankment, and in the river beach, the bodies of Wuwei soldiers were scattered everywhere. The river water had turned red, and there were a lot of corpses half floating and half sinking on it. On the other side of the river, it should be the hardest hit area. He didn't dare to resemble them. They were two whole bells of soldiers.
A soldier with an army of about a thousand people came towards us. The flying flag showed the other party's identity. It was another person with great identity on the battlefield, Shi Kui, the owner of Shijiabao.
Li De, who originally planned to pursue Feng Lun, immediately gave up his original idea. Feng Lun was running away, but Shi Kui was heading back to the Shijiawu. It is natural to see which one is more important.
With a command, the cavalry that had originally divided into small groups of combat closed again in an instant, blocking the opponent's pace of advance in the front, and the left and right wings kept trying to cut off the team, and then a cavalry was placed on the opponent's buttocks and attacking continuously.
The intercepted cavalry fought and retreated, but the flanked ones launched fierce attacks again and again. After each successful bite, the cavalry in the rear immediately cooperated to clean up the bitten section. Shi Kui's team was indeed advancing, but the number of people in the advance team was decreasing sharply. When Shi Kui finally saw the stone bridge, there were less than a hundred people around him, and the cavalry blocking the stone bridge was densely blocked.
"Catch Shi Kui alive, I will peel his skin and suck his tendons!" Li De threw the horizontal knife with the broken knife in his hand and took a new spear from a cavalry beside him.
He grabbed a war horse with his legs and rushed forward like an arrow.
At this moment, on the entire battlefield, as Shi Kui turned around, Feng Lun fled, and Liu Chenglin, who had been surrounded and beaten for a long time, finally recovered. Although there were less than 800 people around him at this moment, it was completely enough to deal with the mobs who had completely lost their establishment, courage, and leaders.
Liu Chenglin was not interested in killing those ordinary villagers, and the remaining more than 800 people rushed straight to Shijiawu.
Hou Fangyu easily captured the dock that seemed indestructible to them. On the dock, the flag representing the Shi family was cut down with one knife, and the flag of the Wuwei Army slowly rose to the sky. On the battlefield, all the Wuwei Army shouted excitedly. Although they suffered heavy losses today, their victory was ultimately theirs.
They were already numb and had no time to reminisce about this bitter battle, and they didn't have time to recall their lost comrades. At this moment, there was only one thought left in their minds, killing all the enemies in front of them.
War can turn everyone into madman.
Feng Lun's troops disappeared from the eyes of the Wuwei army, and only hundreds of people could escape with him. When he fought hard with Liu Chenglin's troops before, and finally encircled Liu Chenglin, his army was also the main force, and the losses were not below Liu Chenglin.
The Wuwei Army did not have the intention to pursue the escaped Lu Long Army at this moment. Shijiawu Fort was their target. After taking this place, they opened a passage to march into Mozhou.
Shi Kui committed suicide.
When Liu Chenglin personally led the team to fight him, he smeared his neck with a knife in despair. He knew very well that if he fell into the hands of the Wuwei army, it would be difficult to die.
In today's battle, the Wuwei Army suffered heavy casualties, and this account can only be recorded on him.
