Chapter 305: A Great Victory in the Battle of Plains

Chapter 305: A Great Victory in the Battle of Plains
You must not leave the city.

Yuan Shu's words were indeed fair and reasonable.

There were only more than 2,000 Northern Army soldiers left on the North Gate, and more than 3,000 militiamen who could fight. However, compared with the enemy soldiers who were nearly ten times their number under the city, the difference was huge and not enough to fill the gaps in the enemy's teeth.

Abandoning the city walls and going out to fight on foot on the vast plain would be an unwise move.

However, if they did not respond, Su Yao's thousand-plus cavalry would be stopped in front of the enemy camp and then surrounded by tens of thousands of troops behind them, and would be in danger of being overthrown.

Those who supported leaving the city and those who refused to leave the city quarreled with each other.

But no matter who they were or what their stance was, they were all furious at Su Yao's reckless behavior.

Lu Zhi also frowned, paying close attention to the situation while nervously weighing the gains and losses.

Then, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Charge in, Su Junhou and his men charge in!" The Northern Army lieutenant's panicked shout shocked everyone.

"what?!"

"How can this be?!"

The expression on Yuan Shu's face was as if he had eaten something, while He Jin just watched without saying a word.

It turned out that while they were arguing fiercely, Su Yao in front had already accomplished the feat of breaking down the camp gate, and led Lu Bu and others to rush into the camp like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Although it was too far away to be seen clearly, the iconic red torrent had indeed poured into the bandit camp.

Such a scene made everyone who had just been arguing fall silent.

They thought that Su Yao would be surrounded in that camp, but they didn't expect that he would be able to break through the enemy camp and turn the tables.

"This"

Yuan Shu's originally livid face suddenly turned red.

Faced with such facts, he still stubbornly said that the enemy camp was on guard and Su Yao was afraid that he would get into trouble if he advanced rashly.

After he said this, many people expressed their agreement, and the tens of thousands of troops behind him were rushing back to the camp.

In front of them were the guards in the camp blocking them, and behind them were the main force of the bandits encircling them.

No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end.

"If they can break through the enemy camp in one fell swoop and escape from the siege camp, they may have a chance of survival," said Northern Army Lieutenant Zou Jing rationally.

His words were very pertinent. Facing the absolute numerical advantage of the bandits, it was not easy to achieve such results.

Now, we should save ourselves, find a way to survive, and fight for a way to live.

The Wuhuan bandits have already retreated. As long as Su Yao and his men can fight for a way out, they can use their cavalry advantage to threaten the enemy's food supply routes or retreat to join forces with the allied forces of the princes and jointly threaten the bandit army.

This is definitely the best ending.

However, Yuan Shu snorted coldly:
"What Zou Zhonghou said is easier said than done."

"They are already trapped in a tight siege, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is difficult for them to protect themselves."

"Break through the camp and leave, what about..."

Before Yuan Shu finished speaking, the Northern Army lieutenant shouted again:
"The big flag has fallen, the enemy troops have been defeated!"

"what?!"

Yuan Shu almost vomited blood.

Then I saw the tall flag with the word "Zhang" on it falling down in the enemy camp.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the camp became chaotic, and Chi Yun and the Huben Knights began to rush and kill.

"Zhang Chun is dead, and the enemy troops are defeated!"

"Attack!"

Lu Zhi drew his sword and howled to the sky:
"All troops attack!!!" Opportunity is fleeting.

Although Lu Zhi didn't know what had happened to Zhang Chun, he was very clear about how much advantage the fall of this general's flag gave them.

In an era when communication was basically based on shouting, all orders in the army were conveyed through flags, drums, etc.

The commander's flag is not only a symbol of honor for the army, but also a symbol of the commander's life.

After all, for an army of tens of thousands, it is difficult for every soldier to know what the commander-in-chief looks like, but they must remember what the commander's flag looks like.

For the army, the fall of the commander's flag under heavy defense is equivalent to the death of the commander.

Not only was it impossible to convey military orders, but the morale of the soldiers under his command was also particularly devastating.

For Zhang Chun's army, the fall of the general's flag was undoubtedly a disaster.

Originally, with an advantage of several times that of the enemy, they relied on their superior numbers and supplies to try to capture Pingyuan City in one fell swoop and capture Emperor Ling of Han alive.

However, with the fierce attack of the Chiyun Knights and the Huben Army led by Su Yao, Zhang Chun's camp was breached, the main general fled, and the commander's flag was cut down. This series of blows instantly plunged the rebel army into chaos.

The fall of Shuai Qi was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

No matter whether it was the bandits in the main camp or those who were rushing to support, they were all stunned by the scene.

Without their head coach, what is the point of their fight?
The morale of the bandits, which was already low, completely collapsed under this.

Although the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level of the bandits were still trying hard to restore morale, many of them had already disobeyed orders and fled in all directions, trying to escape from the chaotic battlefield.

Lu Zhi stood on the city wall and witnessed all this. He immediately gave the order to attack and asked everyone to shout for victory:
"Zhang Chun is dead, and the enemy troops are defeated!"

"Zhang Chun is dead, and the enemy troops are defeated!"

"Kill!!!"

The city gates were opened, and the Northern Army soldiers rushed out in full force, launching a fierce attack on the bandits in chaos.

They brandished swords, spears, swords and halberds in their hands, the sound of killing shook the sky, and they were unstoppable all the way.

On the city wall, He Jin, Yuan Shu and others watched this scene with mixed feelings.

They originally thought that Su Yao's bold advance this time would put him in a more passive situation, but they did not expect that this risky move would become the key to turning the tide of the battle.

The death of Zhang Chun and the fall of the general's flag completely crushed the morale of the bandits, causing the seemingly invincible enemy army to collapse in an instant.

The world is falling apart, indeed, it is over.

The enemy troops scattered around Pingyuan City were still so dense that it was hard to breathe, but after losing their commander, these people had become like ants scattered in a pile of sand and were retreating like the tide.

These fleeing bandits either abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions, or were defeated at the first blow and knelt down to beg for mercy.

On the battlefield, the Scarlet Cloud Knight and the Huben Knight became the most dazzling stars.

They were like a tiger descending from the mountains, unstoppable, charging through the enemy army and invincible.

Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were extremely brave. The knight teams they led were like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey on the battlefield, killing and wounding the enemy troops, causing heavy casualties and loud wails.

The Northern Army soldiers under Lu Zhi followed behind, attacking each other and then recruiting the captives who surrendered in despair.

Outside the north gate, the tens of thousands of troops deployed by Zhang Chun had no power to resist the fierce attack of the Han soldiers and were ultimately defeated. Countless bandits were captured or killed in battle.

Seeing this, the enemy troops at the other three city gates also evacuated and fled.

How could these Han soldiers let this go easily?

Not only did the Han knights led by Lu Bu and others ride their horses and kill crazily all the way, but the guards in the city and the mobilized civilians also rushed out of the city gates, chasing and beating the fallen dogs all the way.

Even the falling of night could not stop the people's will for revenge. They continued to chop and kill with torches for a long time until they could no longer see anyone in their sight. Only then did they stop and return to the city.

The killing spree left the small plain city with corpses strewn all over the ground and blood flowing like a river.

The Battle of the Plains was a great victory!
