The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1195
Just like dominoes, the defeat of the Wu army quickly triggered a chain reaction. Hulao Pass was followed by the fall. The Zhennan General Wu Yan who was stationed at Hulao Pass could not resist the Han army's attack. With the news of the defeat, the morale of the army at Hulao Pass was shattered, so Wu Yan could only abandon Hulao Pass and lead his troops to flee south, hoping to join Lu Kang's army.

Due to the existence of Hulao Pass, Luo Xian's right army was blocked in the Kanto and could not enter the pass. Once the Hulao Pass was lost, it was like opening Pandora's box. [-] elite cavalry entered the pass from the Kanto. The terrible storm set off in the Luoyang area will sweep across the entire Guannei area.

When Lu Kang heard about the fall of Hulao Pass, his expression changed drastically.If it is just Jiang Bin's 10,000 pursuers, even if Luoyang's pursuers are added, Lu Kang can retreat calmly. After all, both sides are infantry, and there is basically no big difference in marching speed. Even if the Wu army withdraws, it can be done in an orderly manner. Although the Wu army is far inferior to the Han army in terms of momentum, if the Han army wants to eat the [-]+ Wu army in one go, it will not have the appetite to support it. .

However, the arrival of the cavalry of the Han army gave the retreating Wu army a blow. The comparison between infantry and infantry can be compared in numbers. The side with a large number can take advantage without any suspense, even if it is a retreat. , the party with a large number will not be afraid of the party with a small number.

However, the addition of cavalry has had subversive consequences. No matter how many infantry, there is no advantage in front of cavalry. What's more, this is a plain area, which is a paradise for cavalry. If you want to do it, the infantry has no power to fight back in front of the cavalry.

The application of the Han army and the Jin army in the field of vans has brought new changes to the infantry against the cavalry. Although the Wu army is much behind in this aspect, it has gradually mastered the method of using chariots to hinder the cavalry offensive over the past few years. , Coupled with the traditional methods of fighting against cavalry such as spear formation, horse rejection formation, and pit formation, although it is difficult to gain the upper hand, it is not so defenseless.

It's a pity that these tactics are all based on a prerequisite, that is, the frontal confrontation between infantry and cavalry. Only when there is a frontal confrontation and sufficient time can the infantry be invincible.

But now the situation is just the opposite. The Wu army is in a rout, and there is still some strength to deal with the pursuing infantry, but it has no time or ability to organize a battle formation when dealing with the cavalry who comes in a surprise attack. In front of the force, the infantry of the Wu army is like a mess.

This is what Lu Kang is most worried about, so he attaches great importance to the containment of the Han army in Xingyang. He not only asked the three kings of Kanto to send troops there, but also ordered Wu Yan to strictly prevent him from defending the Hulao pass. Let the Han army enter the customs one by one.

It's a pity that the Kwantung Army couldn't contain the Han cavalry, and Wu Yan couldn't hold the Hulao Pass. Just when the Wu army had just retreated, the Han cavalry entered the pass in large numbers. The real nightmare begins.

Jiang Bin led the army from south to north, Fu Qian led the army from west to east, and Luo Xian led the cavalry from north to south. The three-way army, like hunting, in this area east of Luoyang, fought against the fleeing army. The Wu army in the middle carried out encirclement and suppression.

With the irresistible force of the right army, it easily tore apart the formation of the Wu army. Every impact of the Han army cavalry can divide the formation of the Wu army into two. The Han army cavalry is like a sharp knife , Constantly dismembering the behemoth Wu Jun.

Luo Xian adopted the smartest way of fighting, and did not concentrate his forces to fight the battle of annihilation, but just divided the cavalry of each army of the right army into several columns, and they rushed towards the Wu army's line like sharp knives, killing them. The formations were torn apart instead of encircled and wiped out.

Every time they charged, the Wu army could not resist the attack of the Han cavalry, and could only passively avoid it. The Wu army's formation quickly became fragmented and torn apart.

The consequences of the collapse of the formation are catastrophic. The most direct impact is that the soldiers do not see the generals, and the generals do not see the soldiers. It slipped down, unstoppable.

Originally, under the orderly retreat, leaving a part of the army behind, Lu Kang was confident that he would take this army out of Luoyang. As long as it returned to the territory controlled by the state of Wu, Lu Kang would be able to regain its momentum. But at this moment, under the strong impact of the cavalry of the Han army, the Wu army has completely lost its unified command. The various Wu armies are like headless flies. .

However, the attack of the Han army was sharp and orderly. The cavalry of the right army was only responsible for separating the troops of the Wu army. The Wu army was already in a state of disunity, and the Han army infantry's attack was clear and well-organized, with clear goals. They effectively encircled and wiped out the Wu army that was scurrying around like headless flies, and ate them away step by step effortlessly.

After being divided and surrounded, the Wu army in each department was almost deaf and blind. They could neither see the support of their own troops nor hear the orders from the upper peak. If they wanted to break through, they were surrounded by the Han army in all directions, and there was no way out. can go.Those who were a little bit bloody all died in battle, and those who were greedy for life and fear of death surrendered one after another.

Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death account for a large proportion. Ants are greedy for life, let alone human beings. When there is no hope of breaking through, most people still focus on saving their lives. It's just food, nothing is more precious than their lives. Between being loyal to the country and surviving, the vast majority of people will still choose the latter.

There was the first one who surrendered, and soon there will be a second one. The Wu soldiers who lost their will to resist quickly followed suit and surrendered. At first, it was the behavior of individual soldiers, but soon it became a collective action, hula la kneeling Those who surrendered can sometimes occupy more than half of a team.

Now that surrender has become the general trend, Wu soldiers' will to resist disintegrates faster. Even if an army is surrounded by heavy siege, even the symbolic resistance does not exist.

In just one day, most of Wu's army had been lost, and only a few teams were lucky enough to escape the encirclement of the Han army.
