Li Yue still had a sense of sharpness, and perhaps more likely was that he was afraid of being punished. So while ordering his retreat, he brought a thousand iron-armored warriors to the stone bridge to stabilize the morale of the army.
More than 3,000 infantry gathered here, and when he saw Li Yue's queen, he felt relieved.
The pontoon bridge not far away was already full of firewood, and some people were pouring fuel on it.
Seeing this, the Xianbei cavalry of the Bai tribe of Shangjun dismounted and rushed over with long and short weapons.
Ding Zhuang, who was fueling the fuel, scattered and refused to obey the command at all. Seeing this, several military academies cursed, then threw the torch in their hands on the pile of firewood and turned around and left.
The fire started to burn.
Seeing this, the Xianbei cavalry of the Bai tribe retreated resentfully.
This is the difference.
If the imperial guards or even the Yellow-headed army came up at this time, they might have tried to put out the fire, but the Xianbei of the Bai tribe was unwilling to put themselves in the sea of ​​fire for the sake of the Daliang Dynasty, so they retreated.
The fire became stronger and stronger, making a burst of bursts. The thick smoke rose into the sky, as if endorsing the previous order to withdraw troops.
After seeing this, Li Yue let go of his heart and turned to command the soldiers to pile up deer antlers at the bridge, resist horses and even damaged vehicles, and in short, he did everything possible to create obstacles.
A little further away, a group of squads shouted horns with a strong smell. Under the whipping of soldiers, they pushed the crossbow over and placed it on the bank of the river.
Xianbei cavalry jogged across the river, shooting arrows from time to time,
As the bowstrings sounded, someone would scream and fell to the ground.
Some soldiers could not bear the casualties and retreated in panic and were soon arrested and beheaded by Li Yue's personal army.
A team of swords, shields, and archers were transferred over to shoot at the other side of the river. After a few rounds, the cavalry were shot overturned by more than ten cavalry, and the remaining personnel turned the heads and gathered them in the distance.
Only then did Li Yue completely relieve himself.
The stone bridge is not a wooden bridge, and it is difficult to damage it in a hurry, so it can only be blocked. Of course, they are also sending people to dig the foundation of the bridge.
But it is hard to say when the result will be.
On the east bank of the water, countless soldiers burst into the river crying and shouting.
The Qiang Tu soldiers chasing behind them were already killed. They roared and rushed towards the fleeing enemy soldiers, and did not care about their formation. Anyway, they just raised their hands and fell, and they were killing and killing.
East created a large pool of blood hell.
In the water, there were continuous thumping sounds.
Countless soldiers abandoned their armor and equipment and jumped into the river. Unfortunately, most people don’t know how to swim, and only a small number of people tried their best to swim back to the west bank trembling with cold, escaping from birth.
The worst thing is those who know how to swim but also have the strength to swim back to the west bank, but were grabbed by their panicked comrades and even tied their necks. After repeated struggles, they finally sank at the bottom of the river.
When everything was settled, only more than 300 troops on the east coast came back, and more than 1,500 were captured.
The rest were either killed or drowned in the water, extremely tragic.
In Shangjun in the east, after the battle ended, the Qiang soldiers of the Xinqin clan formed on the river bank and shouted in unison, "Kill the thief"!
Cheng Jun, who was retreating in the west, heard about it and had some chaos. His morale was so low that it showed that he was blocked by the flood, so Cheng Jun still felt a little psychologically safe.
Their only cavalry surrounded Fu'an everywhere, and some infantry were forced to stay and occupied the high ground to encircle. After killing dozens of cavalry, they finally drove Fu'an's man Wen out.
The cavalry of Chengjun did not give up, and hundreds of cavalry chased behind him, resolutely not giving Fu An's chance to harass him.
The rest seized the time to retreat in a whole team.
The first batch of elite soldiers was more than 2,000 first to pioneer the way, followed by the auxiliary soldiers with weak combat power, followed by the second battalion.
Their faces were pale and panic, and they abandoned all unnecessary weight and moved forward as lightly as possible.
A few people were left in the camp with a sad face, gathering squids, hay, and firewood together, and setting the oil jar aside, ready to set fire at any time.
Some people are still muttering: "It's a pity to burn it with a fire, it's a pity---"
Yes, look at the weight of the people, they are basically recruited from the families of the people and wealthy families, and then transported by ships.
But it can be transported by ship when it comes, which is very convenient. It will not work when retreating in a hurry. It is too late. It can only be like Liu Bei burning the radius and cutting off the road and stopping the pursuers.
Some people were reluctant to let the yellow cloth that came to Shuzhong as a reward, secretly stuffed a piece into the bag and took it away when they were about to escape.
This kind of behavior was a serious crime in the past, but now no one cares about it.
When he ran away, he was carrying fine and soft goods, which was asking for death. He wanted to die, but no one would care about him.
During the retreat, there was another army heading south to the navy's moor, which was the troops that received the order to escape by boat.
Before leaving, they kept some sudden horses for the soldiers who were left behind in the camp to escape.
They are all ponies in the middle of the south, and they can be used as cavalry mounts, but they are definitely not as powerful as the northern war horses. It would be good to use them to escape. After all, this is a mountainous area after all, and the northern horses may not necessarily have these Shu horses to adapt.
As for the terrain, it's really hard to say who runs faster.
Near the water outlet, small boats flew back and forth, transporting personnel, supplies and equipment onto the ship one by one.
Every time one is filled, one will be driven away.
If you can row the paddle and leave, you can use a boatman to drag it away and leave this dangerous area first.
The navy ships divided more than twenty ships and drove downstream, defeated several of the Liang State navy ships that had spied on, turned them into food for fish and turtle. Then he let out a breath and reported last night.
Revenge of being raided.
But even so, everyone knows: this time the defeat was very bad, and both sides were defeated by the sea and land.
The impact of defeat is not only the casualties on the battlefield, the heavy losses, the sunken ships, and the most important thing is the impact on people's hearts.
In fact, until a few months ago, the Dacheng Kingdom was still expanding its territory, and the people's hearts and morale of the entire country were in an upward state. The states and counties were full of vitality and things were in full swing.
The first attack on Badong failed. Chengdu only said that fish were repeatedly dangerous and dangerous, and it was not easy to get it easily. It was normal that ten thousand people could not be beaten down.
But this time, several county dynasties were recruited and nearly 40,000 troops were dispatched. As a result, the defeat was defeated on both land and land. The scene of the defeat was so desperate, but there was no reason to find it.
At this point, with Hanzhong and Badong as the barrier, the idea of ​​separatist side was completely broken.
Hanzhong did block the Liang people and could not get through, but the knock on the east side was wide open. From then on, Shao Liang could imitate the battle between Liu Xiu and Gongsun Shu, and he entered Shu from Badong.
The capital of Chengdu was established, and the country was called "Hangjia".
In this way, even if Dacheng's country has expanded outwardly, it will be difficult to protect itself, and its national destiny has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
*******
On the east bank of the flood, Shao Shen established the Central Army.
He first came forward to observe the enemy's deployment, then decisively ordered the attack on the stone bridge, and adjusted Dou Yuzhen to lead five hundred cavalry, led the horse and walked, and moved back to the north of the road to see if there were any shallows for traversing.
If so, cross the river immediately and pursue the enemy.
The two thousand new soldiers from the Hong family launched an attack on Shiqiao.
They recruited elite troops and carried large shields and launched a fierce attack on the stone bridge.
For a moment, bows and crossbows on both sides of the flood were fired at once, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.
The two thousand soldiers attacked until afternoon and still failed to cross the river.
Shao Shen ordered Shangjun to take over the attack, and the Xinqin Qiang took over the attack, but it was still unsuccessful until the evening.
He was furious and killed several military academies in succession.
The Zhongshi Qiang was in a state of chaos, but the chiefs took the initiative to suppress it.
After the night, he attacked again and finally defeated him.
Li Yue and his remaining troops rushed to the river bank, boarded the navy warship, and fled in a hurry.
The soldiers who stayed in the camp set fire directly and then scattered.
Looking at the raging fire that was almost filled with the wilderness, Shao Shen ordered a rest.
After traveling for several days, they first defeated Cheng's army under Yufu City, and then marched for more than ten miles. After two battles, the soldiers were also very tired.
On the 29th day of the first lunar month, Dou Yuzhen, who had failed to move back to the detour, led hundreds of high chariots and cavalry as vanguards and chased them all the way westward. After entering the mountainous area, he stopped, changed Fu Hong's troops to be vanguards, and continued to chase them.
Nearly noon the next day, he chased to Nanxiangxia and obtained some money and silk abandoned by the enemy. The troops were very happy, so everyone carried their bags and walked slowly.
After Shao Shen found out, he ordered the bag to be confiscated and the entire army was distributed uniformly, and the soldiers were in a state of chaos.
He Hong killed more than ten people in a row, and convinced everyone through his family prestige, and then explained the pros and cons. The troops reluctantly agreed and continued to pursue.
On the evening of the second day of the leap month, we arrived at Baxiang. The enemy occupied the dangerous road and broke the rear, but the soldiers were unwilling to fight. They were defeated by one blow, and more than a thousand people were killed.
On the third night of the New Year, we arrived at Dongyang Gorge. An enemy army was resting. When we heard the pursuit of the troops arrived, we fled in a hurry.
On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, I went to the Umbrella Censor one by one. It was located at the Tangxi River entering the river. The wings of the stream have more than a hundred salt wells. The salt is produced in a large area. The large particles are square and shaped like a umbrella, hence the name.
Cheng Jun arranged a group of people to monitor the enemy on the other side of Tangxi (now east of Yunyang), destroyed the bridge near the left, burned all ships, and blocked the pursuers for two days.
Hehong didn't want to chase him too hard either.
If there is heavy casualties in the middle school, the loss is his own capital. This battle is already very hard, and there is no need to fight for Shao Xun anymore, it is not worth it.
Of course, the most important thing is that the people below complain.
After several days of pursuit, the seized property must be distributed uniformly, and the more than a thousand prisoners captured were not allowed to be taken home as slaves. So harsh, the fool of your mother and maid worked hard for Daliang and made the wishful thinking of Cheng Jun on the opposite side.
.
On the evening of the sixth day of the lunar month, under the order of Shao Shenyan, Hong's troops crossed the stream and walked a mile westward, and plundered the merchant market and obtained many rare treasures in Shu capital, gold and tin in the southern country, and fish and salt in the gorge.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the army arrived in Qunin County.
When he arrived here, there were suddenly more defeated soldiers. Hong sent someone to ask, and it turned out that the enemy brigade had passed by three days ago. The soldiers and horses in the county dared not fight. After their main force retreated west, they attacked their tails one by one, but their heads did not arrive.
, ran away.
Fu Hong captured nearly 2,000 people, more than a thousand of them were local Ding Zhuang, who was captured by the army. He was released directly, and the rest were under the supervision of Qunin County, and the pursuers continued to travel westward.
Three days later, they saw Nanpu County from afar, and then defeated a group of unstoppable troops and captured more than a thousand people.
When they pursued the city of Nanpu, Muqiu also sent hundreds of prisoners to come, and they took advantage of the enemy's retreat.
The prisoners who were intercepted from the city.
At this point, the entire territory of Badong was recovered.
Fu Hong stopped and waited for the next order.
On the 12th day of the first lunar month, Shao Shen's order came, ordering him to plunder food and pursue Linjiang County, Bajun,
Do not stay.
Chapter completed!
