Chapter 118: Defeat
This time, Liang Han was really anxious like a dog that was strayed from a family, and was as anxious as a fish that was missing the net. He rode his horse all the way toward Shenzhou.
. Gongsun Changming was always worried about this war. In addition, Li Ze asserted that this battle would be defeated, which made him hesitate, but after all, he could not see any flaws. The reason why he was asked to go to Yingzhou to find out the news was because they stayed in Lu Long for a long time and were quite familiar with that area. Liang Han was a generous and generous person who was not particular about the details, so he also had many friends.
Liang Han was found out about the news, but his own situation was revealed. The one who betrayed him was a former friend of wine and meat. If Liang Han had not been alert, he would have smashed himself somewhere this time.
But even so, the pursuit along the way almost cost him a lifetime.
The Zhenwu Jiedushi Wang Feng had long been colluding with Zhang Zhongwu. Not only that, there were also a large number of Khitans who were waiting in Yingzhou for the Chengde people to take the bait. Although Zhang Zhongwu had not integrated all the Khitan tribes, the power that could control was already huge.
On the way to escape, Liang Han was still regretting it. Back then, wasn’t it Gongsun Changming and two of them at Zhang Zhongwu, helping him to split the Khitans who were about to be unified, and they fought endlessly? Now, the Khitans no longer threatened the Tang Dynasty, but became Zhang Zhongwu’s accomplices.
Thinking that thousands of Khitan cavalry were now tracing Li Che's retreat, Liang Han felt cold.
The army led by Li Che was obviously unable to be saved. Once Li Che was defeated, Cheng De's strength would be reduced by half. Whether he could defend Shenzhou became a problem. Once Shenzhou was not protected, the entire Chengde would be in chaos.
If Zhang Zhongwu defeated Shenzhou, Henghai Zhu Shou would definitely turn to Zhang Zhongwu, whether it was for self-protection or Qiufeng. Otherwise, under Zhang Zhongwu's full-strength attack, Henghai would not be able to stop Lu Long's troops.
Under the rule of the Henghai Jiedushi, he was in chaos and turmoil. He either rebelled here today or rioted again tomorrow. Zhang Zhongwu fought over. Even if Zhu Shou had the backbone and wanted to push him, those riots would probably be enough to overturn him.
It's over, it's over!
Li Ze was just a crow's mouth, and he made him think everything.
Liang Han, who was running on the road, was already thinking about how to convince Gongsun Changming after arriving in Shenzhou, and then rushing to escape.
Why did Shi Zhuang and the others suddenly appear here? This question suddenly flashed through Liang Han's mind, but it just flashed by.
Li Ze's little fox must be very worried now. He is worried that his brother will not have a good life after the big victory, and that after the great defeat of success and virtue, he will not even have a place to stay. I think he must be restless now and it is tasteless to eat.
Thinking of this, he became happy again.
That damn little fox, I want to see if you have any tricks to get back the crisis in such a situation. If not, you will also be like grandpa, running around and running around as a betrayal dog. I will drag the old man Gongsun Changming, and you will also carry your mother. We are all right.
However, Gongsun Changming has known each other all over the world. No matter where he runs, he can always find a bowl of rice to eat. You will be miserable!
All the way, he ran towards Shenzhou.
Suning stood beside the road, watching the logistics transport team, which was like a long snake, pushing a cart, driving mules and horses toward the location of Hejian, Yingzhou District.
Li Che's army was smooth sailing all the way, constantly repelling the blockade of General Shi Yi of Lu Long. Two days ago, it advanced to the location of Hejian Prefecture, the capital of Yingzhou, and set up a camp in the south of Hejian. Although the army led by Liu Chenglin under the rule of Henghai Jiedu, although there were some twists and turns, it had occupied Zhang Wu now. It would take at most two or three days to reach Hejian. Now there are only the scoundrels of Zhenwu. Even Gao Yang has not been taken down until now, which makes the plan to encircle the three routes lack a corner.
Of course, Suning doesn't care much about whether Wang Feng can come now.
The information before the war was correct. Shi Yi did deploy his main force in Gao Yang to block Wang Feng, which was also the reason why Wang Feng's Zhenwu Army fought extremely hard.
If the enemy's main force is not in Hejian Prefecture, then Hejian is an empty standpoint. It is a great thing for Cheng De. If Cheng De independently took Hejian without the help of Zhenwu and Henghai, then Cheng De could naturally gain the greatest benefit in the post-war sharing of spoils.
Whoever contributes the most will naturally get the biggest part.
So Li Che made the decision to launch a general attack on Hejian Prefecture without waiting for the two families to join forces. Suning agreed with both hands. For this reason, he divided the soldiers in his hands and gave them to Li Che. Now he only had five hundred soldiers in his hands.
Whenever he saw these armored soldiers, he felt a little heartbroken. If it weren't for the bastard Li Ze, he should have had nearly a thousand armored soldiers in his hands. What's more important is that Chu Heng took away his most elite 300 armored knights. Now he died in Wuyi without any clarity.
After the battle was over, no matter what Li Anguo said, Suning decided to go to Wuyi in person and not remove Li Ze from being ruthless. How could he vent his hatred in his heart?
"Start up, the soldiers in front are fighting desperately. We can't let them not eat enough or eat well." Seeing the speed of the team moving, Suning was a little dissatisfied.
Li Che gathered 4,000 armored soldiers and 30,000 imperial soldiers at the bottom of Hejian Prefecture. The daily consumption was a very shocking number. Shi Yi, a bastard, was not good at fighting, but he was able to achieve the position of the army, which made it impossible for the army to obtain supplies from the local area. Every grain they ate was transported by Suning from Shenzhou with great effort. In other words, only those who have achieved virtue and prosperity can support such a large amount of consumption, Henghai will not be able to do it. This is why Henghai was obviously salivating this time and wanted to get a share of the pie, but in the end he had to let Liu Chenglin bring one thousand armored soldiers and five thousand imperial soldiers to fight, because they could not support the logistics supply.
A young and strong man pushed the wheelbarrow past him, and was startled by his roar. He staggered and his hands were unable to hold the balance. The wheelbarrow suddenly fell to the ground. The corner of the bulging grain bag on the car fell to the ground, and it immediately broke, and the best white flour was immediately spilled all over the floor.
Suning was furious and whipped it down with a whip. With a bang, the clothes on the green and strong body suddenly cracked, and a blood mark appeared on the back like a red caterpillar. The man cried out with a bitter cry and fell forward, just pounced on the food bag, and simply squeezed out the remaining white flour.
Suning was even more angry and jumped off the horse and prepared to reward the young and strong whip.
As soon as he jumped off the horse, the facade suddenly trembled. He was slightly stunned, and then he saw his own war horse raising his head and neighing anxiously. Although he had not fought for many years, Suning was also a powerful general on the battlefield in his early years, with extremely rich experience. He was shocked and looked up at the distance.
At this glance, his face turned pale.
The vast cavalry, like a flood breaking the dike from the west, was coming towards him.
There are tens of thousands of cavalry, boundless. Although there are not tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry coming now, they are all over the mountains. The figures in front are clearly visible, but the ones behind seem to have just jumped out of the horizon in the distance.
"Khitan people!" Suning screamed, jumped on his horse and shouted loudly: "Form a formation, form a formation."
This was Suning's most instinctive reaction as a general. At this time, he didn't even have time to think about where these Khitans suddenly appeared in front of him.
As the main force, the Cheng German army rushed straight to Hejian, with the left and right wings being the Zhenwu Army and the Henghai Army. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Khitans to appear in front of him suddenly.
For the heavy troops of Chengde logistics track in the moving forward, this was definitely a catastrophic moment. Their team lasted for several miles, 90% of them were composed of palace soldiers. As elite soldiers of the war, they were gathered by Suning at this moment, but there were only more than 500 people.
When the Khitan cavalry all over the mountains appeared, most of them threw down their food trucks in a scream of horror and ran away. Some were leading mules and horses, and they cut down the mules and horses with one knife, pulled mules, horses, and even donkeys out of the shaft, and then rode on their bare backs and ran away.
Only a very small number of people who have combat experience will gather all the food trucks as soon as possible, form a car array, and then hold the spear in the car array.
Faced with cavalry, escaping is by no means the best way, because no matter how fast you are, you can't run away from those who have grown up on horseback since childhood.
Unfortunately, there are too few people with such experience among the military soldiers. Only four or five vehicles were formed in the logistics team that has been running for several miles, and the others ran away like rabbits.
The commanders of the Khitan cavalry were obviously extremely experienced. They ignored the Chengde Mansion soldiers who formed a chariot formation, and even more so the five hundred soldiers under Suning's command. Instead, they whistled past and chased the people who were the first to escape.
The war horses roared past, and the Khitans chased them to the top, chopping the first ones to the ground, and then circling the horses. The panicked soldiers turned around and ran back.
This is what those Khitan cavalry want.
They were not in a hurry to kill these people at this time, but chased them back like a rabbit.
Among them, the soldiers who had already formed a chariot formation were easily overwhelmed by their own people. The Khitan cavalry shouted and galloped on horseback, and the feather arrows roared, and shot the soldiers to the ground one by one.
"Governor Su, go quickly!" A general from Shenzhou swallowed and said loudly.
