Datang New Order

ps: Thank you Guoguoda and Magic Clear Sky for your tip.

The formation that Yan Jun had been trying to maintain suddenly collapsed. The arrival of this moment was so sudden, but it was within Zhou Dewei's expectation.

The formation, which was already gradually scattered, completely disintegrated in an uproar. The spear formation of the front team, the cavalry formation on the left and right sides, and the sword and shield formation on the rear disintegrated instantly. Thousands of soldiers ran desperately towards Xiangyuan. The rucksacks behind them fell to the ground. If it wasn't for the low-level officers shouting to stop them, they might have thrown away even the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies.

Zhou Dewei quickly gave the order for the whole army to pursue. Under his order, more than [-] troops were divided into dozens of columns, and they rushed up from the rear and left and right sides, and drove the scattered Yan army soldiers to kill.

The soldiers of the Allied Army of the Three Kings who had been blocking the advance of the Yan Army had been hurriedly shrunk into a dense array under the urging of the army leaders, large and small, to ensure that they would not be washed away in the fleeing Yan Army's rout.Without strong troops and full preparations to stop the red-eyed rout, the consequences will be quite disastrous. Facing the collapsed enemy, it is the right way to cover up and kill from both sides and rear, which can guarantee the smallest loss and the greatest victory.

Even Zhou Dewei admired the fact that Yan's army was able to persevere until now, and persisted in breaking through the encirclement for nearly ten miles when surrounded by enemy forces several times larger than itself.If it wasn't for the opponent's desire to evacuate, and if it wasn't for the major problems in the opponent's rear area, Zhou Dewei could hardly imagine how much he would have to pay to eat them if such a Yan army chose to stick to it.

It's a pity that there are no ifs. Everything in front of us shows that the Yan army was defeated and he won, and the victory was very simple.Looking at the two flags of the generals fleeing at the forefront in the distance, Zhou Dewei specially told the cavalry of the Black Crow Army that they must capture the two leading generals alive.Through this battle, he has developed a love for talents, and hopes that Zhou Kan and Zhao Zaili can join him.As far as today's battle is concerned, these two are really good soldiers!

Zhou Dewei especially wanted to make the general named Zhou Kan surrender. It is said that this person is the head of the "military training" department of the Yan Army's secondary school. With the combat power shown by the Yan Army, this Zhou Kan can be called a "great talent" without a doubt!

The shouts of chasing and killing the Yan army were everywhere in the wilderness. From time to time, the Yan army who had fallen behind was caught up by the pursuers and fell to the ground in an instant.According to Zhou Dewei's instructions before the battle, the leaders of the Three Kings' Allied Forces were not in a hurry.Their pursuit was actually a kind of driving, driving the Yan army's rout to Xiangyuan.

Just when Zhou Dewei was thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity to cover up the defeat of the Yan army and go down to Xiangyuan, he heard a crackling sound from the direction of Xiangyuan. When the sound reached Zhou Dewei's ears, he was in a daze, like It's like the sound of firecrackers that I heard when I was a child.

Blossoming white clouds of smoke appeared in the sky, they were the familiar "demon clouds" of the Yan army.After more than two months of fighting, all the top and bottom of the Allied Forces of the Three Kings knew that the "Yaoyun" was not a monster, let alone the "Five Thunders".It will neither rain thunderfire nor bring cursed luck. "Yao Yun" is a new thing created by Yan Jun craftsmen, its function is similar to that of a bull's horn, and its function is a warning.

Zhou Dewei even knew.If the "Yao Yun" is black, it indicates the direction of the enemy army, and if it is white, it is a message to call friendly troops.Seeing such a dense white "demon cloud" rise.Zhou Dewei's heart was awe-inspiring, which indicated that there was a large group of enemy troops in front of him.

Sure enough, the fleeing soldiers of the Yan army were guided by the two general flags with the characters "Zhou" and "Zhao".He was running desperately towards the place where the "demon cloud" rose.

Under the condition of being unable to judge the situation of the enemy ahead, Zhou Dewei sent orders to all the ministries to slow down the pursuit and move closer to his own central army.If the enemy army is only a small group to respond, it will not hinder the continued pursuit. You have [-] cavalry in your hands, and the enemy army is a newly defeated army. It is impossible to organize a new formation in a short time anyway, even if it is organized , How much morale can there be?Just a charge!

Zhou Dewei used his troops cautiously and was extremely patient. His intention to shrink his troops was actually just in case, in case there was an enemy brigade in front of him, he would have time to prepare for the battle.But, will there be an enemy brigade?Where did they come from, if any?

As the order was issued, the various ministries began to slow down their pursuit, and then gathered towards the nearby large and small army heads. The chaotic battlefield gradually became orderly, but the eyes of the sergeants were always fixed on the Yan army fleeing half a mile ahead.

Here in Hedong, even a plain like the Shangdang Basin is far from being able to compare with the great plain in Hebei. There are hills and ravines one to two feet high everywhere, occasionally interspersed with a few taller mountain ridges, so the field of vision is limited. Not open.

Zhou Dewei found a relatively high hill, rode up on his horse, and looked in the direction where the Yan army was fleeing. When he looked, a burst of cold air rushed straight to his forehead!

More than two miles away, hundreds of flags of various kinds fluttered in the wind. All the flags had a khaki-yellow background and were inlaid with red and gold threads.There are dense military formations lined up under the banner, forming an obvious two-to-five arrangement: a hundred people, 500 people, a thousand people, 5000 people, ten thousand people... At a glance, there are no fewer than ten thousand people in the front row, which is five or six miles wide. The front is blocked tightly.Looking at the rear of the army formation again, it seems that there are more flags flying...

The entire Yan army was silent and solemn, and they did not know how long they had been waiting here.

The disintegrated soldiers of the Yan army poured in from the passages deliberately left in the three army formations. After a while, the passages were closed again by the army formations, and there was no trace of the broken soldiers.

Without needing Zhou Dewei's order, the commanders of the subordinate troops commanded their headquarters to move closer together, and unfolded a large formation layer by layer according to the usual formation against the enemy.The Yan army on the opposite side had no intention of taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and just waited silently for Zhou Dewei to form an formation.

Zhou Dewei ordered the flag of the Central Army to be erected on the hill where he was standing, and then ordered several generals to lead troops to seize several surrounding high grounds.While setting up, he was looking at the opposite side, silently judging the situation in front of him.Where did this Yan army come from?Which army are they under the Yan army?What happened to Licheng and Luzhou?Did Li Siyuan's An Zhongjiao Qibing actually make meritorious deeds?

All kinds of questions came one after another, making Zhou Dewei's mind into a mess.While considering how to deal with it, there was a commotion among the sergeants occupying the high ground on the west side, and the information flag was shaking rapidly.Zhou Dewei urged his horse to jump down the hill, and ran straight there. The horse passed through the dense crowd of people. When he stepped on the high ground on the west side, he raised his eyes and saw a scene that broke his liver and gallbladder.

The high ground on the west side has a good view, and you can see the west and north, that is, Zhou Dewei's right side and behind him.From here, one can see in both directions at a glance.I saw countless banners popping up from nowhere, and the Yan army brigade in khaki-colored uniforms was closing in two directions, turning the right side and behind into a yellow world, and the sound of orderly footsteps and the sound of clattering nail leaves were separated. It was passed from a long distance away. Judging by the formation, the number of people is no less than that of the Yan army in the south!

The thunderous sound of hooves gradually roared, Zhou Dewei turned his head suddenly, reined in his horse and ran towards the high ground on the east side.In this direction, a black line gushed out from the blue shadows of the mountains in the sky, and it ran at an extremely fast speed to stop three miles away.There are more cavalry thrown out from behind the black line, completely covering the entire east direction...

Zhou Dewei's palms were sweating, he forcibly swallowed the saliva that appeared on the bottom of his tongue when he didn't know when, and he quickly rode back to the hillside where he set the flag.Along the way, he could see the anxiety and fear of the soldiers under his command, and hear the uneasy muttering and panicked inquiries of the soldiers.

How could there be such a large Yan army here?How did these Yan troops come here?At a glance, there are no less than [-] Yan troops in the four directions, including tens of thousands of cavalry!This is obviously the main field force of the Yan army, why are they not in Gaoping?What is King Liang doing?Could it be said that the coalition of princes was defeated?How could so many main forces of the Yan army be allowed to leave Gaoping?

Zhou Dewei felt a bitterness in his heart. It turned out that everything before was just a bait. The intention of Zhou Kan and Zhao Zaili was to lure himself into the ambush circle. It was ridiculous that he thought that the Yan army was defeated, but he was still thinking about how to win the entire Luzhou ...Needless to say, An Zhonghui's so-called surprise attack must be useless. If there was one, how could it be possible for the Yan army to assemble such a large army?Perhaps, all of this was caused by An Zhonghui. Without his sneak attack, maybe the main force of the Yan army would not have come here at all?

After the Yan army encircled them from four directions, they stopped for a moment and then began to move forward.It was the infantry in the three directions of south, north and west that moved forward, and only the cavalry formation on the east side did not move.

The neat array, the thunderous footsteps, and the increasingly recognizable flags of various colors all put heavy pressure on the besieged coalition of the three kings.When the Yan army's formation approached and stopped within a few miles, Zhou Dewei couldn't help but smiled wryly, looking at the equipment and formation of the main force, and looking at himself, how will this battle be fought?

Rows of armored spearmen are all covered with heavy armor, shaking so much that people can't open their eyes; one frame is pushed onto the ballista in front of the formation, and those blue crossbow arrows make people's heart tremble; Standing against the body, the formed shield formation cannot be penetrated by needles; teams of vigorous cavalry are all tall horses under their crotches...

Is this the true strength of Hebei?I used to think that King Yan's army was extravagant enough, but I didn't expect that what I saw and heard before was nothing compared to what I saw before.In front of such an army, Zhou Dewei lost his mind, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness from the depths of his heart!

The direction of the only gap was the east side, and Zhou Dewei understood that it was the passageway left by the Yan army for him to escape.It's just that the Yan army is indeed a bit domineering. Even if there is a gap left, they blatantly deployed a large group of cavalry and told Zhou Dewei clearly that this is your only way out. If you want to escape, you can escape from this direction, but you can only escape. If the cavalry escapes, the infantry will stay.

But even if Zhou Dewei really made up his mind to drop his pawns and run away, would he really be able to escape?Even if he did escape, how many elite cavalry would be left under his command?

What if you don't escape?Can you lead the whole army to fight a bloody road?Or stick to the spot, waiting for Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan's rescue?

For a while, Zhou Dewei was at a loss! (To be continued..)
