Chapter 1059: The catastrophe is imminent and they run away
This Jiangdong League army is composed of five or six people. When retreating, it cannot leave all at once. Without formation, it will cause chaos.
So Du Fuwei arranged for Wang Xiongdan to break the rear and lead 30,000 elite troops, and he has now fought with the pursuers.
The troops withdrawn at the forefront were Chen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an and Chen Dong's troops, with a total of 60,000 people and 20,000 Jianghuai Pioneer Army opening the way.
The main force in the middle was Du Fuwei, Wenren Sui'an and Wang Hua's men, and there were 120,000 people together.
It was tremendous and evacuated from Zhongli County and went south to the southwest of Jiangdu County, with the back of Liyang County, so that the supply can be satisfied.
The 300,000 troops gathered at that time, after the battle of Dingyuan City and Zhongli City, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. Dingyuan City was attacked and lost its troops. The Allied forces were only left with more than 200,000.
Even so, it is still a huge number. It is not easy for the Dahua army to completely eat up these more than 200,000 troops.
Du Fuwei ordered the road to continue rushing and not to rescue Wang Xiongdan, who was cut off, which was also a strategic consideration, because the troops who left behind were left behind were to complete the task of blocking the pursuers and give the main force plenty of time to withdraw.
Two days later, as soon as the Allies in front left the mountains bordering Zhongli County and Jiangdu County, they heard the rumbling sound of iron cavalry, and a large army of hiking came, blocking the troops in front of the Allies and the core main force, cutting the retreating team open.
"It's the cavalry and infantry of the Northern court!"
"So many soldiers!"
Ten thousand horses galloped, rumbled across the earth, and countless soldiers and horses roared, with a rainbow of momentum.
Zhang Shan'an, Chen Faxing and others saw flags floating all over the mountains and fields, and countless war horses roaring, blocking the way out. They were frightened and their faces changed drastically.
If these more than 10,000 cavalry attacked their army, they would definitely be defeated and could not resist.
However, the Dahua army did not attack them with all their heart, but cut off the main force behind the Jianghuai army. Obviously, they were not the main targets.
Chen Faxing's face was solemn, and he exclaimed: "Oh no, General Manager Du and others are going to be in danger."
"Do you want to rescue me?" Chen Dong asked.
Zhang Shan'an frowned and said, "Look at it again."
At this time, a crossbow machine square array aimed at the vanguard army and fired arrows. Five thousand cavalry arrayed and were about to drive them away.
Seeing this, Zhang Shan'an, Chen Faxing and others immediately ordered to speed up their escape without delay, otherwise they would easily be severely injured by the cavalry.
"It would be better to turn around and fight with the Hua** team than to withdraw like this. With General Du's troops, there is still a glimmer of life!" Chen Dong is a survivor of the royal family of the Chen State. After the cavalry in the south of the Yangtze River, he was not very famous, but after all, his ancestors were enough to be the emperor of the Chen State, and he was a little brave enough.
Chen Faxing and Zhang Shanan looked at each other, but neither replied, but fell silent.
They did not want to take advantage of their own troops to save Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army. Otherwise, they would suffer heavy losses and unpredictable outcomes. If they faced each other's powerful cavalry and elite infantry, they would imagine that their fate was not in their interests.
"Liyang County is now empty and there are no leaders in the group of dragons, so you can make a fortune!" Zhang Shan'an's heart moved and his eyes looked at Chen Faxing.
Chen Faxing seemed to see what Zhang Shan'an meant, and was also a little moved. He turned around and fought with the elite cavalry and infantry in Dahua for a lifetime and fought for Du Fuwei. It was very unworthy. It would be better to rush to Liyang County, take the opportunity to acquire the people and food there, and then cross the river to return to the south of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, huge flags floated in the Dahua army, and five-clawed golden dragons were flying on the flag. Luo Zhaoyun personally led his troops to come.
Originally, as the king of a country, Luo Zhaoyun did not have to take risks, but this time he had already set up heavy troops here, intending to block the Jiangdong League Army when it retreated. The target was Du Fuwei. As long as Du Fuwei was taken down, the Jiangnan major events were set, and the rest were all small shrimps, which was not to be afraid.
"That's right, Luo Zhaoyun is here in person."
Chen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an and others were shocked, and at the same time, an irresistible feeling surged in their hearts, and the mentality of escaping was even better.
"Leave quickly, if you don't leave, you will be the first to attack us and take action against us, it will not be worth the loss."
"Go to Liyang first!"
As soon as the military order was issued, all of these soldiers and soldiers fled wildly, and they had no fighting spirit to fight.
Five thousand cavalry drove them away, driving 50,000 or 60,000 troops dozens of miles away, and fled in sight of the wind.
In the distance, Luo Zhaoyun Ce cavalry looked at the scattered and fleeing Allied troops, and knew that it was Chen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an and others, and they didn't care. This time, they brought 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, all of which were elite. There was no need to waste morale and physical strength with those mobs. His target was Du Fuwei!
"Your Majesty, Du Fuwei's main force of the Jianghuai Army will arrive in three miles!"
Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly and shouted: "Tell the three armies to be prepared for the battle! The Shenji Camp is in place, and all artillery and explosives are used."
"As for the order!" Bing Yuanzhen, Xue Wanshu, Wang Junkuo, Zhou Zhongyin, Zhang Gongjin, He Ruohuaigu and other generals all clasped their fists and had their own division of labor in advance. At this time, we must prepare to take our seats.
At the same time, Du Fuwei had received information about the enemy's blockade in front of him, and his face changed drastically. He ordered the three armies to prepare for war. There was a blockade in front and pursued troops later, and the situation was critical.
"So this is Luo Zhaoyun's killer move. I'm waiting for us here. I'm sure our army will withdraw its troops and lose one step at a time!" Du Fuwei sighed, his eyes gradually calmed down, and he transferred several generals, with the few thousand cavalry and elite soldiers, to launch the first wave of charge.
"Don't worry, General, we will go through fire and water and will definitely break through the blockade ahead!" Jiang Zuo responded with his fist.
Du Fuwei nodded and comforted him: "Go, the army behind you is holding a battle for you. As long as we can break through the enemy's blocking formation, our army will have an advantage in numbers and will definitely be able to break through the siege!"
However, even though that was the case, the soldiers under the command of the Jianghuai Army and Wang Hua were shocked when they learned that the road ahead was blocked and there were pursuers behind them. Luo Zhaoyun came to encircle them in person, and they felt a chill, as if they had a premonition.
