Chapter 54 Victory and Loss (3)

The elite cavalry of the Duan Xianbei team had lost their normal command system under the influence of a series of emergencies. Duan Ji, Lu Juan and other Xianbei chiefs ran in vain and worked hard, but could not control the troops they were commanding; and the grassroots soldiers could not get effective orders at all, and could only fight with their own blood and courage.

Even so, the Xianbei people would not be willing to fail. In the bad situation, the Xianbei soldiers fully demonstrated their barbaric character that they relied on to dominate Youzhou for decades. The front team was torn to pieces by the Dai County Army, and the rear team immediately rushed forward and fought round after round of desperate battles with the Dai County Army.

What supported their wildness was the habit of massacre and ravage of the Jin people in the south over the past few decades; however, soon, one warrior after another from the cold and miserable land outside the Great Wall of Liaoxi fell to the ground and died. They all widened their eyes, and they could not imagine that the Jin army, which had been killed by them, still had such powerful soldiers!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers of Dai County rushed around, using long spears and swords to bring up bloody rain, and picked off the Xianbei people's heads like chopping melons and vegetables. As Liu Xia, Chu Kun, Ni Yi and other cavalrymen entered the battlefield one after another, the Dai County cavalry swirled and bit like flying preys, making the disadvantages of the Xianbei people more and more obvious. Although they had huge military strength, they were like a giant with low intelligence, roaring blindly, and making some pale and powerless counterattacks. Finally, they looked desperately at the Dai County cavalry like an extremely sharp dagger, cutting out terrifying wounds on his body, and eroding his vitality bit by bit.

Duan Ji and Lu Juan no longer intend to give any explanation to Wang Jun. When the contemporary county cavalry launched a raid, he immediately rushed back to the headquarters with his entourage cavalry, trying to organize a reverse impact. However, in his previous order, most of his direct troops had been sent forward to monitor the Youzhou infantry of Yang Fei's troops, and the light cavalry led by other Xianbei noble chiefs wandered on the wings of the Dai County Army array, and it was difficult to return to rescue.

At this time, most of the heavy cavalry gathered in the central army were armoured and equipped, usually killing the enemy in close combat. If the two armies faced each other head-on, Duan Ji and Lu Jun believed that even if there were ten times more Dai County troops, they would never be the opponent of those iron-armored beasts. However, Dai County cavalry galloped and fought with each other, fighting with each other, and stirred up their own side. This made the heavy cavalry equipped with armoured and equipped with armoured cavalry without time to form a formation, nor had the space to speed up the horse. The heavy cavalry who lost their queues and speed were as inconvenient as the knots of iron, and were forced to retreat again and again by the enemy, and the more they fought, the more chaotic it became.

Duan Ji and Lu Juan witnessed the battle at the beginning of the battle, teasing and repelling his own light cavalry, galloping on horseback, and shooting down the Xianbei warriors who were trying to get close. Two Xianbei generals wearing pheasant tails and small crowns rushed up diagonally, trying to cover his way, but because the armor was too heavy on his body, the Jin people drove around him, stabbed one person horizontally with a long spear, then pulled out their waist knife, and killed the other person with a backhand.

Without caring about admiring the bravery of this Jin general, Duan Ji and Lu Jun looked east again and vaguely saw that the infantry team of the Daijun Army also moved. The soldiers were divided into several front rows and began to advance under the cover of the side vans. Every twenty steps, the front row stopped to defend, while the back row crossed the defense line in the front row and continued to move forward. There were Xianbei soldiers who tried to block them along the way, but were all defeated by arrows and dense spears in the infantry army.

Such complex tactical actions can only be completed by a rigorously trained army. If it had been expected, Duan Ji and Lu Juan would have extended today's battle as much as possible, harassed the light cavalry at all costs, and tried his best to destroy the enemy's morale and consume his physical strength. Until the enemy was determined to be exhausted, he would dispatch the heavy cavalry to decide the outcome in one fell swoop. Duan Ji and Lu Juan gritted his teeth: What a pity! It's hateful! There is no problem with my military strategy. It's all because of Wang Jun, the incompetent person who forced himself to quickly resolve the battle, otherwise how could he end up in such a mess! Those Jin people slandered the Duan tribe in an attempt to rebel, creating a chance for the Dai County Army to counterattack... This is even more unbearable!

Duan Ji and Lu Juan were not only angry, but also anxious. He kept issuing various instructions, but he could not keep up with the unpredictable battlefield situation. Instead, an officer with a serious injury and blood-stained face came over one after another and brought news of the failure of various teams. He looked around and wanted to send another birth force to reverse the defeat, but suddenly found that there was no army to be dispatched except for a small number of entourage guards.

Just when he was anxious about this, he heard the cheers of the Jin people on the battlefield. On the one hand, the flag with the words "Wujun Luyao" fluttered in the wind, and passed through the entire combat area from left to right. Wherever he went, the Dai County Army was full of energy and the offensive became three times fierce again. Duan Ji and Lujuan could not understand what kind of magic the flag had, which could actually inspire morale to this extent.

The battle has been going on now, both sides are exhausted. Needless to say, the Duan County Army marched overnight. The Xianbei of Duan County set out in the early morning and rushed for dozens of miles. Then the continuous battle was not much easier. At this time, everyone was dying and struggling, hoping that the other party could not hold on. At this time, the Dai County Army suddenly launched a strong attack, and indeed the Youzhou divisions could not support it. I don’t know who retreated first, and the several front lines that were barely maintained suddenly collapsed like an avalanche. In an instant, the outcome was decided!

Seeing that the strong soldiers who had been carefully organized for many years and the iron cavalry who was best at breaking the formation had no chance to play, Duan Ji and Lu Juan's face became pale and pale. He knew very well that these heavy armored cavalry were built by the Xianbei of Duan tribe who had consumed countless financial resources and material resources, and only the bravest and most experienced warriors in the tribe could become members of the heavy armored cavalry. This sufficient force can be said to be the hope of the Xianbei of Duan tribe to dominate the grasslands in the northern border. Their defeat today will surely cause devastating losses to the hegemony planned by Duan tribe.

After making such perfect preparations in advance, but in the end... how could he face the high expectations of the Duke of Liaoxi! Thinking of this, Duan Ji and Lu Juan felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help but slam the armor on his chest. Soon he was shocked again: At this time, he still cares about what he does? The most urgent task should be to save his life!

Duan Ji and Lu Jun's expression changed again and again, and the several entourages surrounded by him also exchanged glances with each other. Although the majestic demeanor of the general of the Fujun Army was as strong as before, those who were familiar with him had already keenly understood his thoughts. There was a man in the middle of the entourage who followed Duan Ji and Lu Jun for a long time, and he was praised many times because of his flexible brains. He immediately plucked up his courage and said, "General, the current situation is not suitable for long-term entanglement. Let's retreat."

Duan Jilu Jung glanced at the entourage with a humming huff. When he was about to say something, he suddenly felt like he was choking by the dust spreading in the air and coughed suddenly. He coughed so violently that he had to scratch his throat with both hands, occasionally making waves of turbid breath, but he couldn't speak.

The entourages were smart. No one asked Duan Ji and Lu Juan about his health. Instead, he rushed forward, some urging him to the horse, some holding the bridle, clamping him in the middle of the team, and fleeing away from the battlefield first.

Behind Duan Jilujuan, the Xianbei people went from disadvantage to defeat, from small defeat to defeat, and in an instant, they were inexhaustible. Countless Xianbei people fled without considering the organization, and ignored the scolding of superior officers. The once invincible arrogant general has transformed into a stray dog ​​who fled in a miserable way.
