Gong Chun's retreat was rapid because they had already made this preparation.
"Our army was defeated" was also the first to shout out, because they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
It would be useless to shout it long ago because the former army had not learned a lesson.
If you shout at night, maybe Luo Yan stabilized the people's hearts again, no longer thought about attacking, and focused on the terrain.
City defense.
Not to mention that Liang Jun will definitely win, nothing is certain in this foggy mountain valley.
Now it is just two head-on encounters. If Luo Yan wakes up and is determined to stand up to the confrontation, he may not have no chance to turn defeat into victory. After all, they are more adaptable to the environment and terrain here, and have more advantages in supply.
Now, the time is right.
"Put off the crossbow and don't break it."
"Take food away, you have to eat it on the way."
"Who asked you to throw away your weapons, grab them, and whip them twenty."
"Where is the priest? Take him into the car and be careful."
"Don't mess around! Go in sequence, don't fight."
As the saying goes, generals are the courage of soldiers. Many times the chaos in retreat often starts with officers. Many generals and schools in Gong Chun's army have long been preparing to retreat, and they are not so panicked, so they are arranged in order. If you ignore the sergeant's pale faces.
The fact that Gong's tribe can walk so smoothly does not mean that other tribes are like this.
The Xi family, who had already lost its strength and was defeated, won't talk about the Zhi family. The E family, who lived on the left wing of the Gong family and the Yang family, were more fox-like.
Their troops were quite messy, with more jars and jars, and there were even a few healthy women in addition to the strong men.
After hearing the news of Gong's retreat, they immediately began to act.
"Let the priest go first." A white-haired old man was helped onto the carriage and hurriedly left,
I don't even want "Magic tools".
Human leg bones and tortoise shells were scattered everywhere, and the "divine fire" had not had time to be extinguished.
A mountain ghost carved by pine resin was knocked to the ground, and its empty eyes were facing the direction of the tribe's Ting Zhuang's hurried departure.
The healthy women hurriedly collected the food they could take away. They looked panicked and their hands and feet were trembling.
The basket filled with herbs was accidentally kicked over, preparing to treat the patient, and the medicinal materials for the injured were scattered.
The clay pot fell from the ox cart, and as it broke, a bad smell spread out. It was the venison that had been marinated for a long time, full of rotten smell.
A horse was frightened and rushed like crazy, dispersing all the strong men and women blocking the road, and then hitting their heads onto an old tree.
The horse neighed in pain, and the carriage turned to the ground, recording military records, and military achievements, and the hemp paper scattered everywhere, gradually being submerged in rainwater and sludge.
The ground was trampled into mud, and people fell down from time to time, screaming in pain.
The plates, iron armor, and vine armor can be seen everywhere. They were abandoned by the soldiers who did everything possible to reduce the burden, but they were quickly stopped by the officers. Retreat is not a matter of one or two days, but it is likely to be ten or twenty days. During this long retreat, they need to eat, treat injuries, camp, and break the back and fight. Throwing away everything is equivalent to committing suicide in advance.
The road is difficult to walk, and there are many people who accidentally fall down on the cliff.
While pushing and rubbing, some people fell into the torrent and rolled down the river beach.
Someone was sitting by the river, crying and refusing to leave. When asked, it turned out that his younger brother was swept away by the torrent, and he didn't know his life or death.
Some people ignored the obstacle and forced themselves to get down the cliff. After asking again, the copper crossbow machine that had been passed down for three generations in his family fell down, which was even more important than his life.
*******
Luo Yan is not a dead person, so of course he knows the chaos behind him.
At that time, his location gathered 3,000 members of the Luo family, Du family (Du family), and Park family members each, plus more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, totaling more than 8,000 people.
Three miles away from the rear, there were the Gong family, the E family, and the Yang family, with a total of 4,500 people.
Five miles away, there are 1,500 people from Fan, Lin and Xie families.
When Gong shouted "Our army was defeated" and retreated first, E and Yang were directly dragged in and retreated in a hurry.
As for what will happen to Fan, Lin and Xie Sanjia in the rear, I don’t have to think about it.
They had already known the news that Xishi pioneer was defeated by the Liang people a few days ago. They might be muttering that they would not lose the second battle again, right? The prospects of this battle inevitably became a little pessimistic.
As a result, a large number of defeated soldiers rushed to the east, and people shouted at the horses neighed, and they shouted "Our army was defeated." What do you think they did? Of course, they turned around and retreated directly to the west! Could it be that they still had the ambition of fearless sacrifice, letting friendly troops leave first and leaving behind the rear?
The news that these 6,000 people ran away could not be hidden here. In fact, because Gong was "very loyal" when he retreated, he sent people to inform him everywhere, and the news could not be blocked now.
In an instant, Luo Yan knew that the battle was really defeated and there was no room for recovery.
They took a small path to break the Liang army's food route. Unexpectedly, the Liang army also had the same thoughts and knew the existence of this path. They wanted to rush to Xuanhan. The two sides met on the road and met on a narrow road. Now that they were defeated, it was time to leave.
"Send an order! Each family gathers troops and attacks the Liang thieves with me." After making a decision in his heart, Luo Yan issued an order to counterattack the Liang army without any hesitation.
He knew that it would be possible to be unable to command Du and Park, so he only ordered Luo's own troops.
Everyone in the tent subconsciously looked at Luo Yan. Luo Yan looked back one by one, and everyone lowered their heads again.
After a moment, the first person obeyed the order and rectified the troops, followed by the second and third—”
Luo Yan sighed softly.
All families still give face, they are all loyal and brave men, and soldiers are also good soldiers. They don’t do anything perfunctory when fighting, but fight with a bloody and courageous spirit.
As for not fighting, that's another matter.
Inadequate training, poor equipment, incomplete aura and stomach, and less experienced in combat formations, what can I do?
These can actually be compensated. Only the courage to kill directly is difficult to develop. I just don’t know if he still has the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings in equipment, training, and experience of the men.
After giving the order to counterattack, Luo Yan sent people to Du and Pu to keep a few elite troops behind the rear, and the rest retreat as soon as possible.
All things you don't need to carry are abandoned.
The radius is heavy, and the food can be burned if it can be burned. If it cannot be burned, it will be pushed into the rain. In the river, each person will be carrying dry food for seven days to retreat. Don’t worry about not having enough food. He has old relationships along the way and can get supplies.
When encountering a dangerous place, a few people were left to guard the Luo family members who were retreating.
Finally, the movement is smaller, so don’t affect the morale of the army too much.
After the order was issued, Luo Yan abandoned all the negative emotions such as regret, fear, and worries in his heart, and led thousands of people to the formation.
*******
There are still five hundred people left in Gong's camp.
They were fearless and sat on the ground of the hay-covered barracks, silently eating water.
"Every time I go up the mountain and bring all the drums and horns." General Gong Chun and his officers gathered together and said, "Did the Liang people use horns?"
"Use it." Someone said, "But their drums and horns are different from us, and their sounds are different."
"It's okay." Gong Chun waved his hand and said, "Who will listen carefully in panic? It's enough if that happens."
After saying that, he paused for a moment and continued, "You can take dozens of people to choose a seat, beat the drums and horns, wave the flags, and then shout 'kill'. It must be found in all directions, making people feel that they are surrounded."
"Why don't you hit Luo directly from behind?" someone asked.
"Don't stop returning to the teacher, they will really fight to the death." Gong Chun glanced at the man and said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded silently, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
Although Gong and Li have a grudge and Luo are Li's relatives, the relationship between Luo and Gong is not too bad. Is it appropriate to harm others like this?
These people are still not shady enough, and they are still a little simple and honest, so they are all silent.
But they have no right to decide.
My ancestors have been a member of the Gong family for generations, and obedience to the Gong family has long been deeply rooted in the bones and has become an instinct. Your own ideas are not important, just respect the orders of noble people.
After resting for a while, five hundred people left the camp one after another and fled into the mountains on both sides.
Gong Chun led a hundred people and walked along the beast path on the mountain with difficulty.
The road at the foot of the mountain was a little wider, but at this time it was already crowded with retreating soldiers, chariots and horses.
They were dejected, their faces were numb, gloomy, or fearful, and rushed westward.
Maybe it was an orderly retreat and the equipment was relatively complete, but no one could guarantee what would happen if the fight was really done.
Their morale has fallen and they have to rectify it or give a heavy reward to stimulate it before they can fight again.
Gong Chun ignored them and led his subordinates to move forward.
The mountain road was slippery, and people kept falling to the bottom of the valley during this period, screaming and screaming.
Gong Chun did not even stop to rescue him, but continued to lead the people forward.
Gradually, there were strong sounds of killing and drums and horns coming from the front.
Gong Chun listened carefully, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of Liang Jun's drums and horns.
Ban soldiers often use horns to consume cows, but Liang Jun is definitely not using this, and the sound is different.
Is this Liang army chasing and fighting with the army with the rear?
"Let's go!" Gong Chun shouted loudly and led the people forward.
After a while, he climbed a high slope and looked down at the battlefield: in the valley, arrows flew everywhere, people shouted and neighed, and Liang Jun was fighting fiercely with the soldiers, but it was difficult to decide the outcome for a moment.
"It's right now!" Gong Chun grabbed the "Rang" flag from the sergeant's hand and waved it high in the rain.
In an instant, the sound of drums rumbled, and the feeling of fighting was inspiring to come to my face.
After a moment, the twelve horns were blown.
"Kill the thief!" The hundred people shouted in unison, shaking the whole world.
Almost at the same time, there were also people pounding the horns on the opposite ridge.
The people even rushed down the mountain with flags, and the killing sounds were even more violent than here.
Gong Chun stared at the battlefield where he was fighting.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the formation of the board soldiers suddenly became a little loose and the noise became louder.
Liang's morale increased sharply, and he advanced bravely, depressing the formation of the squadrons.
Failed! The retreat has really turned into a retreat.
Chapter completed!
