contend

Chapter 512
If Sima Zhao did not divide his troops, but chose to advance and retreat together, Chen Tai would not be defeated so quickly, and the Liangzhou cavalry would not have won so easily.

On the battlefield, as long as one person retreats first, the hearts of the others will be full of doubts.

It is human nature not to suffer from few but to suffer from inequality.

Why can anyone go first?

Is it a lost game?

The war was still going on, and the hearts of the Chinese soldiers had already cast a shadow.

What's more, Sima Zhao left Chen Tai with newly recruited and expanded soldiers. Although they also experienced the Battle of Shouchun, they were not the Chinese army that Cao Wei Liguo fought in all directions.

The real elite will naturally stay with Sima Zhao.

Therefore, when encountering hard battles and setbacks, the rear army lost their fighting spirit in an instant and was defeated like a mountain.

The killing sound from behind shook the sky, like a stormy sea surging in.

Sima Zhao and Jia Chong chose to ignore it tacitly, as if they had forgotten the promise they made in front of Chen Tai.

There was obviously a cavalry beside him, but he remained indifferent.

No, it cannot be said to be indifferent.

The 8 people are running faster.

"Xiangguo should take the world as his duty, and leave the dangerous place quickly!" Hearing the sound of horseshoes chasing after him, Jia Chong didn't even have the slightest interest in resisting.

If even Chen Tai couldn't stop it, then they couldn't stop it even more.

In just a few hours, Chen Tai collapsed?
Is the combat power of the Thief really so terrifying?
So people think like this in their hearts.

Only Chen Qian said angrily: "It's just a ranger, we still have [-] people, why should we be afraid?"

Chen Qian was different from Chen Tai. Chen Tai had the Cao family in his heart, and he was very close to Sima Zhao, but Chen Qian fell headlong into Sima's arms and became a rising star in the Central Plains.

Especially in the Battle of Lotus Spoon, Sima Zhao was even more impressed when [-] weak infantry blocked [-] superior cavalry.

This is much better than Yang Hu, who has high hopes.

Amid panic among the people, Chen Qian's composure made Sima Zhao feel at ease, "Does Xiu Yuan have a good strategy?"

"Don't be alarmed, Xiangguo, the former army has [-] people, and it still has the strength to fight!" Chen Qian is like a big tree, no matter how violent the wind and snow are, it can't shake him a bit.

Jia Chong rolled his eyes, "You can quickly abandon the luggage, flag poles, chariots and horses to delay the enemy."

Sima Zhao obeyed the advice of the two men, abandoned the luggage, and ordered the soldiers to retreat slowly.

They also set up cavalry to supervise the battle, but those who left the formation were all killed.

The former army quickly regained composure.

Seeing such momentum, the approaching Liangzhou cavalry rushed twice carefully, but were blocked, so they could only follow behind to harass.

The night was dark and the snow was rushing, so I found a hill and ravine, which was barely able to shelter from the wind and snow.

Fortunately, the two cavalrymen who were chasing after were at the end of their strength. Many cavalrymen were still galloping. The cavalrymen on their horses were frozen to death. Some horses suddenly wailed and fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.

Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, the cavalry did not dare to pursue and retreated.

Sima Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"As soon as we get to Suyi, we can defend the city!" Jia Chong encouraged.

However, Chen Qian poured cold water on him, "The small city of Suyi stands on the plain. If our army defends from this city, we will surely die! Reinforcements from all directions, who dares to come to rescue? We must retreat to Baishui City or Linjin!"

Baishui City has Baishui as a barrier, and Huanglong Mountain and Yanmen Mountain as its support. It was originally the place where the Chinese army stationed troops. There are a large number of camps and antlers, which can block Liangzhou cavalry.

Moreover, Baishui City is only less than forty miles away from Suyi.

It was only about sixty miles away from them.

At this time, Jia Chong didn't dare to argue with Chen Qian anymore, "What General Chen said is true."

"Quickly order the Linjin defenders to come to support!" Sima Zhao hurriedly looked around after a day of cold wind, and now he only felt chills all over his body.

His health has not been very good these years, much worse than Sima Yi.

Although he has been in the army with Sima Yi, he rarely goes to the front line, so his body is not very strong.

"All matters in the army are decided by Xiu Yuan!" Sima Zhao was cold and tired, groggy and unable to support himself.

"Xiangguo!" Jia Chong's face was paler than Sima Zhao's.

Sima Zhao fell. With his current situation, he could not reach the world or land. At least he would be expelled from Luoyang, and at worst he would lose his head. After all, he had offended many people.

Sima Zhao put his hands on his forehead, "It's okay, it's okay, and then send an envoy to let Hanzhong Shiji dispatch an army to help Guanzhong!"

It is the best choice to hand over the army directly to Chen Qian.

The front army stabilized its formation, and the rear army suffered a crushing defeat.

At dawn, the heavy snow was much smaller, the snow was knee-deep, and there were frozen people everywhere.

Many soldiers hugged each other and were frozen into snow sculptures.

Not many actually died at the hands of the cavalry of the Liang army, most of them froze to death and fled.

Chen Tai led a group of soldiers out of the ravine, desperate to die, suddenly pulled out his long sword, and wanted to kill himself to apologize, but was blocked by the trilogy around him, "The general situation is over, why don't Mr. Chen abandon the army and leave?"

The battlefield is still in chaos, stretching from the boundary of Huangling to the boundary of Suyi, winding for more than 70 miles.

The Liangzhou cavalry was also subject to the snow, and their horseshoes could not move in the snow, which gave the Chinese army a slight possibility of escape.

As long as you leave the army, you have a high chance of surviving.

But in this way, Chen Tai is no longer Chen Tai.

"Such a disastrous defeat, catching up with Dongxing and Chibi back then, what face do I have to meet the elders of the Central Plains?" Chen Tai is just sixty this year, but he is much stronger than Sima Zhao, standing like a mountain in the snow.

It's just that the eyes have become old and tired.

"Your Majesty..."

Buqu and the soldiers knelt down on the ground.

Chen Tai wanted to apologize with death, but they still wanted to live.

"Your Majesty!"

More and more soldiers knelt down, like wronged children crying for their parents.

Chen Tai's whole body was shocked, and his old eyes became determined again, "If you don't give up, I will lead you back to your hometown alive!"

"Willing to fight to the death with the king!" The remnant army of 2000 people instantly turned into a mourning soldier.

The mourners rolled bigger and bigger, taking in the defeated army continuously along the way, and killing them southward.

When thirsty, swallow snow and drink, when hungry, cut meat and eat.

When people are in a desperate situation, they will explode with great potential.

Those who can live to this day are all tough and ruthless people.

The snow made the Liangzhou Army have no cavalry advantage.

Chen Tai is very good at arranging troops, no matter how chaotic people are in his hands, they can be pinched together.

The soldiers were also very respectful to him.

"The snow is not good for war horses, and the only benefit for cold thieves is war horses! Without war horses, they are just like you, with two arms and two legs!" The soldiers repeated Chen Tai's words, constantly boosting morale.

Several Liangzhou cavalry approached, and the horses could only walk slowly in the snow, but they couldn't run, so they had no impact.

The remnant soldiers raised their spears and looked at death as home. Seeing that the Liang army could not take advantage of it, they retreated.

This gave them great confidence.

Only Chen Tai's expression remained gloomy.

If Sima Zhao returns to the army to rescue, at least [-] to [-] of the [-] army can be saved...

However, in the vast expanse of white snow, where is the shadow of reinforcements?

Chen Tai sighed quietly, the Sima family failed him again.
