A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 87 The Battle of Siyi
The big banner crashed down, and the allied forces of the princes guarding Yingze collapsed completely. There were no more soldiers gathered in formation, and each of them only hated their parents for having lost two legs, and fled crazily.

Wang Sheng didn't care about the fleeing soldiers, but seized the time to burn the food and grass. The food and grass of the 30 army piled up like a mountain. Wang Sheng even secretly collected some food with the owner's ring.

After igniting the grain and grass, Wang Sheng did not go to capture the captives, but drove them back.The food and grass of the allied forces of the princes were burned, and even if there was still food and grass in the camp of the coalition forces, the amount would not be too much.At this time to capture prisoners?Help the coalition of princes save food and grass?
Wang Sheng directly drove these remnants of the defeated generals and the strong people to the direction of the coalition forces of the princes.After there is no food and grass, the failure of the coalition forces of the princes of Qi State is inevitable. At that time, he can completely swallow these captives again.

After driving away the remnants of the defeated generals and the strong people, Wang Sheng didn't stop, and directly left with the army and returned.After an hour passed, Lu Hou arrived late with the army, and the Yingze camp that appeared before his eyes had already turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the piles of grain, grass, and supplies were all swallowed by the fire.

Seeing countless food and grass turned into ashes, and a large number of defeated soldiers, Lu Hou also had a dignified expression.We can only send an army to fetch water and put out the fire, to see if we can salvage some food and grass.

Wang Sheng led the army all the way back through a detour.

Meanwhile, fighting between Surabaya and Yishui continued.Wang Chengfu led an army of [-] and Xu Mao led an army of [-] to fight.

Xu Mao occupied the land about five miles wide between the two rivers, and while Wang Chengfu was crossing the river, he directly ordered the destruction of the water storage dam.

The torrential river rushed down in an instant, and the coalition forces of the princes who were crossing the river had no time to dodge, and hundreds of people were swept away at once.The army had to give up the idea of ​​​​going around the river to attack on the flanks, and had to face the Huai army head-on.

However, the Huai army led by Xu Mao was all elites in all battles, and in this terrain, it was very suitable for Queyue Formation.Seeing the Huai army put up such a weird formation.Wang Chengfu, who had already known the power of this formation from Zheng Hou's defeat, did not dare to attack by force.

After sending out a team of people to conduct a tentative attack, none of these people got close to the front line and were shot to death.

After seeing this situation, Wang Chengfu immediately ordered someone to fetch the big shield, and asked the soldiers to raise the shield and lead Chang Ge to attack.At the beginning, the army was progressing smoothly, but when it first met the enemy, it was discovered that the enemy used chariots as bones, shielded them with large shields, and then beat them with spears and sticks. The coalition forces of the princes were no match at all.

The Huai army's long Ge was sharp, and the long Ge was as long as one foot. With the force of the two, even the shield was able to penetrate, and even the man and the shield were directly penetrated.Coupled with the continuous rain of arrows, the army suffered heavy casualties in the attack.

After losing twice in a row, he felt ruthless and wanted to forcefully use the chariot to break the formation, but he didn't realize until the chariot rushed past.When the chariot hit the formation, it only shook the formation slightly.The large array of chariots are connected to each other, and it is impossible for these dozens of chariots to rush away.

For a while, Wang Chengfu couldn't break the battle formation.Continuing to fight is completely suicide. The army has failed several times in a row and their morale is low.Coupled with the fact that the dam had been destroyed, Wang Chengfu ordered the army to retreat, and just as his army was retreating, Xu Mao had an insight into his thoughts and took the opportunity to launch an attack.

Hundreds of chariots launched an impact in an instant, and it was like a landslide and an earth cracking in an instant.Although Wang Chengfu was also a famous general, the morale of the army was low, and the coalition forces were unable to respond because they belonged to different vassal states and there was no tacit understanding.After Wang Chengfu gave the order, the coalition forces could not effectively implement it due to the chaos, and wanted to re-establish the army formation, but it was already too late.

Hundreds of chariots rushed out and crashed into these guards in an instant. The rumbling chariots broke through the general formation in an instant, and then the ruts rolled over these soldiers, and the army behind them instantly smashed the coalition forces of the princes. The formation was completely torn apart.

The morale of the coalition forces was already low, Xu Mao took the opportunity to attack and immediately caught the coalition forces by surprise.The army advanced rapidly, and the chariot was like a wedge, ruthlessly nailing into the army.

Morale was already low, and the army was withdrawing again. However, under the sudden impact, the rear line completely collapsed.

The coalition of princes was originally formed by multiple princes, and there was no tacit understanding with each other. After the defeat, this became more obvious. These coalitions of princes fled one after another, wanting to let the other side stop them so that they could take the opportunity to escape. It was the other party's plan to do the same.

For a time, the allied forces of the princes were defeated, and soldiers from all sides fled one after another.These soldiers fled like dominoes, causing other soldiers to flee together.Seeing this kind of scene, even Wang Chengfu, a veteran on the battlefield, was powerless to recover.

After all, in this army, there are less than [-] people who are directly controlled by him.Countless defeated troops fled, and Wang Chengfu did not dare to stay. At this time, the morale of the army was shaken, and they could only be besieged and killed by the Huai army if they stayed.

Immediately, he no longer cared about the troops of the other vassal states of the coalition army, and directly led the army of Qi to retreat.But Wang Chengfu retreated as the main general, which completely collapsed the coalition forces, and there was no chance of winning.

The Huai army chased the army and rushed all the way for more than ten miles. When they saw the allied forces of the princes coming to meet them, they called for gold to withdraw their troops and retreated.

In this battle, the casualties of the coalition forces of the princes were not too serious, but the blow to morale was very serious.The entire coalition army camp became extremely depressed.

Xu Mao was not greedy for merit, and led the army back to the Huai army camp. The Huai army won a complete victory. The camp was full of joy, and everyone who was worried about the flooding of the coalition army was completely relieved.

And Wang Sheng also led the army back safely. After learning that the food and grass of the coalition army had been burned, everyone was in high spirits and geared up to deal with the coalition forces of the princes.

The opposite is the Qi army camp.The envoys sent by Marquis Lu had already arrived at the camp. After learning that Yingze's camp had been completely burned down, and [-]% of the grain and grass had been burned, the atmosphere in the camp became extremely solemn.

At this time, the princes also understood the seriousness of the matter. There were more than [-] horses and lack of food and grass.

Guan Zhong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, there are only two ways. One is to retreat the army, and the other is to send people back to the country to send troops to escort the food and grass, and the other is to continue to attack."

"Our army has lost consecutive battles and its morale is low. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win if we fight again. It's better to leave early!"

"The army is short of food and grass, and the enemy is staring at them. How could you let me retreat so easily?" Qihou's expression was not good.
