Chapter 2232: Drive Tang to attack Tang, defeat Xu Rong again

Gao Xingzhou was lucky enough to escape, but Zhang Xiu was not so lucky this time.

The battle between Zhang Xiu and Meng Yi was barely a draw, but generally speaking, Meng Yi was the one with the upper hand.

Later, when the Tang army was defeated, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Xiu to stay and wait to die, but with Meng Yi entangled on the side, and with the obstruction of Yuexi and Li Jin, Zhang Xiu failed to break out.

Under the joint efforts of the three generals, Zhang Xiu, who had no way to go to heaven or go to earth, was finally shot off his horse by Meng Yi after being knocked out of the weapon, and was captured alive.

The reason why Meng Yi chose to capture alive instead of killing him was because Zhang Xiu was Tong Yuan's disciple and Zhao Yun's senior brother, and Zhao Yun was King Qin's brother-in-law.

In addition, Zhang Xiu has never killed a senior general of the Qin Army, and he is one of the acceptable generals of the Tang Army, so Meng Yi chose to capture Zhang Xiu alive.

On Gongsun Xuanyuan's side, Gao Siji and others saw that their army was defeated, but they still failed to defeat Xuanyuan's troops. Although they were extremely unwilling, they had no choice but to retreat wisely, otherwise they would be looking for death.

Gongsun Xuanyuan killed Gao Shunli and formed a staunch defense with Brother Gao Siji. Logically speaking, the Gao family brothers should not be allowed to leave, but as the chief general of an army, naturally he could not leave the army to chase and kill Gao Siji brothers.

On Shi Jingtang's side, Yu Ziqi and Ji Bu joined forces to face Shi Jingtang and fell into a disadvantage. They could only guarantee undefeated. Now that Shi Jingtang wanted to run, they naturally couldn't keep him.

Huo Qubing defeated [-] Tang army elite cavalry in one battle, captured Changsun Wuji and Zhang Xiu alive, and killed [-] Tang generals including Gao Shunli, but he was still not satisfied. The reinforcements rushed in the direction.

Tang general Xu Rong, who led [-] elite soldiers, immediately stopped the army from entering the city after receiving the order from Changsun Wuji, and led the army to come to support.

But what Xu Rong never expected was that before his army reached the battlefield, the [-] elite cavalry had already been defeated by the Qin army, and the defeated army was also driven towards him by the Qin army.

"General Xu, hurry up, retreat quickly, the [-] elite cavalry have been routed, and they are fleeing here, and there is no way to restrain them. If you don't change the route, your [-] reinforcements will be crushed by the routed army."

Generals such as Gao Siji, who owns a famous horse, forcibly returned in one step, and reported the situation on the front line to Xu Rong, which immediately changed Xu Rong's face.

How can he change the route at this time?Even if he can make the reinforcements deviate from the route, the purpose of the Qin army is to let the defeated army crush them, and he will definitely make adjustments because of their changes.

"The route cannot be changed, not to mention that it will be too late, even if it is too late, the Qin army will drive the defeated army to our army that has changed its route." Xu Rong analyzed calmly.

"Then what should we do? The defeated army is about to rush over."

Shi Jingtang jumped anxiously, but the matter has come to this point, no matter how anxious he is, it is useless.

After Xu Rong pondered for a while, he ordered the whole army to form a formation on the spot. Since they were doomed to be unable to escape before the formation, it would be better to fight with the Qin army.

Under Xu Rong's command, the [-] Tang army reinforcements quickly formed an array, with spears in front, shields in the middle, and crossbows in the back. Stranded on the spot.

At the same time, Xu Rong asked Gao Siji, Shi Jingtang and other generals to go to the front of the formation to restrain the out-of-control iron cavalry, and let the cavalry bypass the infantry phalanx as much as possible instead of attacking the reinforcements.

1000 m.

900 m.

800 meter

……

coming.

Tens of thousands of fine cavalry from the Tang army were completely frightened by the Qin army, and fled in all directions in a panic. If they were not stopped, they would definitely hit the infantry on the road they had to pass.

"Soldiers, stop quickly, our reinforcements are ahead."

"Stop it, soldiers, if you are rushing down, you will kill yourself."

As the top ranks of the army, Gao Siji and other generals have great prestige, but at this time the Tang army has been frightened, so their shouts have little effect. Only a few cavalry bypassed the Tang army's infantry phalanx, and most of the cavalry did not Take a detour.

Seeing this, Xu Rong gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let this group of deserters overwhelm the formation, but shoot and kill all the deserters within 300 meters."

"promise."

The soldiers roared like thunder, and the crossbowmen aimed at the front one after another. Even if they didn't admit it in their hearts, they had to pull the trigger, otherwise the casualties would only be greater.

huh, huh, huh...

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired, and a large number of defeated troops who refused to change their course were directly shot to death by their own strong crossbows.

"No, don't shoot arrows, my own people, don't shoot arrows, ah."

"I'm Xiaoshanying Sima, don't let me go, ah."

"General Li Jie is here, don't shoot arrows, poof..."

No matter how the rout soldiers shouted, as long as they were 300 meters away from the reinforcements, the cavalry who still refused to change course would be served by the reinforcements' strong crossbows.

Thousands of fine cavalry of the Tang army did not die in the battle with the Qin army, but died under their own human crossbow arrows.

The defeated soldiers in the rear saw their colleagues shot to death by their own people because they did not change their course. They were shocked in their hearts. A diversion was chosen.

Five miles away, after Huo Qubing learned what Xu Rong had done, he couldn't help admiring: "This Xu Rong is really ruthless, he won't even let his own people go."

Xu Rong's methods were indeed ruthless, but this was the only way to avoid being attacked by the rout army. Only iron and blood could deter this frightened rout army.

"General, the plan to expel Tang and attack Tang failed, what should we do now?" Long Yang asked.

"What else can we do? We killed them directly. Changsun Wuji's [-] cavalry were defeated. How could Xu Rong's [-] pawns stop our army?" Meng Yi said excitedly.

Huo Qubing smiled indifferently: "If Xu Rong can control the collapse of the army because of this, he is very wrong, fear cannot be erased so quickly.

Pass the order down, let the chasing army speed up, and let the cavalry recall the fear of being chased and killed by the Qin army again. "

"promise."

Following Huo Qubing's order, the Qin army who followed and pursued began to speed up, and once they caught up, they would show no mercy. A large number of Tang army cavalry died under the pursuit of Qin army.

Under the pursuit of the Qin army, the defeated Tang army lost control again. Many frightened cavalrymen would rather die under the arrows of their own people than under the sword of the Qin army. And mess up the situation.

Seeing this, Xu Rong wanted to cry without tears. He wished to kill all these defeated troops. He never thought that he was not defeated by the Qin army, but by his own people.

Although Xu Rong already knew the fate of his own army, he could not give up until the last moment. He ordered to besiege and kill all the defeated troops who charged into the phalanx. gun array.

But the defeated army is also a human being, and it is impossible to wait to be killed, so they will naturally resist, which also makes the Tang army's formation even more chaotic.

Now even if Xu Rong killed all the routs, he still couldn't change the wounded situation. Moreover, he hadn't completely wiped out the routs. Huo Qubing had already led [-] cavalry to kill them, and directly attacked Xu Rong's army.

Xu Rongjun's formation was disrupted by his own cavalry, and before he could react, he was about to face the onslaught of [-] Qin troops, so that those who were beaten had no power to fight back.

Less than an hour after the start of the battle, Xu Rong followed in the footsteps of Changsun Wuji. The whole army was overwhelmed by the iron cavalry of the Qin army, defeated across the board, and fled southeast in a mixed manner.
