The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1000
Facts have proved that this is indeed a decision that turned things around. After the cavalry archers attacked the flanks of the Jin army, the stalemate quickly reversed. The flank of the rear wing was dealt a powerful blow.

The most powerful means of cavalry archers is long-range shooting. Arrows are accurately shot at the cavalry formation of the Jin army. The dense formation of the Jin army is more vulnerable to attack. The arrows of the Shu army rarely fail. The cavalry of the Jin army fell off their horses one after another, causing heavy casualties.

The cavalry of the Jin army was rather depressed. The cavalry archers of the Shu army did not fight with them in close quarters, but only attacked from a distance. In order to maintain the integrity of the formation, the cavalry of the Jin army could not attack easily.Even if they attack, they may not be able to achieve the desired results. The cavalry archers of the Shu army will never engage in close combat with them. They circle around and keep looking for a suitable shooting position. The cavalry of the Jin army was attacked in turn and suffered heavy losses. .

Qi Hong could not help turning pale when he saw that the troops in the rear were attacked by the cavalry archers of the Shu army. This was what he was most worried about. Although the cavalry of the Jin army were strong, it did not mean that they had no weaknesses. One of the weaknesses of the army.Qi Hong didn't expect that the Shu army would quickly grasp their weakness, and dispatched cavalry archers to attack in a roundabout way, so that the Jin army had no power to fight back.

Qi Hong suddenly felt powerless. He didn't have any upper hand in the fight with the Shu army, but fell behind slightly. He just relied on his tenacious will to hold on. At this time, the rear team suffered another blow. Qi Hong It is already unable to deal with it anymore.

As a last resort, Qi Hong could only give the order to retreat.

But when the two sides were strangled together, how could they just withdraw as soon as they said they would retreat? Although Qi Hong had already ordered to retreat, the cavalry of the Jin army who were entangled with the Shu army in front could not get out no matter what. , leaving them completely helpless.

Qi Hong had already lost the time to go to the rescue. If he wanted to retreat at this time, it was basically impossible. Only by sacrificing this small part of the cavalry could the brigade retreat to Huguan.

The retreat process of the Jin army was very embarrassing. They were constantly harassed by the cavalry archers of the Shu army. About half of the people could not escape.

The situation on the battlefield changed with the change of the Shu army's capture strategy. The originally evenly matched scene became one-sided. Qi Hong led the cavalry in the rear and began to retreat towards Huguan. However, the former team was abandoned by Qi Hong and completely fell into the encirclement of the Shu army.

This made the trapped Jin soldiers very angry. At the critical moment, their leader would actually abandon them and leave. What if they agreed to live together and die together?
In short, the abandoned Jin soldiers are desperate at this time, want to break out?The surrounding Shu army did not agree. Seeing that the Jin soldiers were poor, the Shu army launched another round of onslaught, forcing the Jin soldiers to surrender and shouting slogans to surrender and avoid death.

The Jin army had already lost their morale at this moment, and the general's abandonment of them was undoubtedly a great blow to their fighting spirit. The Jin army's cavalry, who were still capable of fighting, were like a mess of sand at this moment, and were easily beheaded by the Shu army.

Most of the Jin soldiers still chose to give up resistance, captured and surrendered, since the evil master had abandoned them, there was absolutely no reason for them to give their lives to them.

Qi Hong fled back to the city, and said to Wen Yang with shame: "General Wen, the last general made a slip of the tongue and failed to stop the offensive of the Shu army. I beg for punishment."

Wen Yang looked at Qi Hong's body covered in blood, and there were many wounds on his body. He couldn't tell whether the blood was his own or the enemy's. It could be seen that Qi Hong fought fiercely. If it wasn't a last resort, Qi Hong would It will definitely not be withdrawn.

"General Qi fought bravely and killed the enemy to serve the country. What's wrong? General Qi should go down to heal his wounds first, and then the governor will reward him for his merits." Wen Yang encouraged him and arranged for him to go down to heal his wounds and rest.

Qi Hong originally thought that he would be punished, and even if he was not punished, at least he would be looked at coldly by Wen Yang, but he never expected that Wen Yang's stern expression was still full of enthusiasm and caring for him, which moved Qi Hong The ground is almost full of tears.

Wen Yang arranged for people to comfort the soldiers of the cavalry battalion. After fighting for a long time, the Jin army almost came back from the life and death line, and every survivor tried their best.

And Wenyang returned to the top of the city again, paying close attention to the development of the situation.

The disastrous defeat of the cavalry made Wenyang's plan to defend against the enemy outside the city completely aborted. Next, the Shu army would easily reach the city of Huguan and launch an attack.

Since the Shu army has the advantage of firearms, Wen Yang really doesn't have much confidence in whether he can defend Huguan City, but fortunately, the Shu army seems to be sweeping the battlefield and is not in a hurry to launch an attack, which can be regarded as giving Wen Yang A little respite.

Wu Mao's suggestion is to lead the army to break through immediately, the isolated city cannot be defended, and only by withdrawing to Jizhou can the safety of the whole army be guaranteed. If the city is surrounded by the Shu army, it may be too late to leave.

Duan Guang has a different opinion. He thinks it is very valuable for the Jin army to retake Shangdang. Giving up so easily has indeed failed those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. If you have the power to fight, if you ask Sima Jun in Jizhou for help while holding on to Huguan, as long as Sima Jun can send a support force, the crisis in Huguan can be greatly alleviated.

Wen Yang was deeply involved in entanglement. After the Battle of Pingyang, Wen Yang had already defended Huguan City under tremendous pressure, and was very eager to avenge his shame with a hearty victory. .

But Fu Zhu obviously didn't give face. This battle caused the cavalry of the Jin army to fall into the water. After the disastrous defeat in Pingyang, the Jin army suffered another defeat at the city of Huguan today. More than half of the cavalry was lost, and the Jin army had to retreat to Huguan. In the city, there is no longer the ability to fight.

This battle also completely destroyed Wenyang's confidence. If Wenyang was still unwilling before, then this time he was completely resigned.

Sima Jun must have been ridiculed, but the life and death of the Huguan army was at stake, and Wen Yang didn't dare to play his temper, so he could only lower his posture and sincerely ask Sima Jun for help.
