Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Xicheng, in the middle of the Yan army, under the blue banner.

Murong Zhen's face was sinking like water, looking at the azure-armored cavalry retreating like a tide in front, while the heavy infantry of the Beifu Army moved closer to the center amid the sound of drum horns, regrouped under the banner of Tanshao, and lined up again. There was a hint of helplessness on his face, and he waved the whip gently. The regret when he was only one breath away at the critical moment was obvious on the veteran's face.

Beside him, Murong Ping lowered his head, the scar on his right face had been sprinkled with hemostatic powder, but a scar was still like a centipede, jumping on his face, behind him, four or five thousand blue armors The cavalry of the King of the North Sea is re-arranging, facing the north, the iron wheel is rumbling, the Jin army lined up in a chain of iron chains, it is obvious that there is not much space left for the iron cavalry. The Tanshao infantry formation has completed the reorganization and is marching forward again. I am afraid that this armored cavalry will not even have a place to attack and detour.

Murong Ping gritted his teeth, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, deal with me, even if you kill me, there is nothing to say, the last commander is incompetent, and the chariot troops did not repel the enemy army, and you are forced to take back those who attacked Tan Shao in front of you. Troops, what a pity."

Murong Zhen shook his head: "It's not your fault, it's my fault, it's too late for me to withdraw troops from Tan Shao, I should have withdrawn all of them just now, and concentrated all my troops and horses to attack Zhu Lingshi. , the first batch of 130 to 150 chariots he came over, he could still defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Yueshou on the side shook his head: "There is no regret medicine in this world, besides, that Zhu Lingshi has many tricks and is not a fool. If our army attacks him with all his strength, I am afraid that he will not take it hard, and will only leave part of the battle. The chariots resisted and died, and led the main force to retreat. Just like just now, General Ping had already fought very well with the existing strength. He was able to bring back more than 800 cavalry under the encirclement of the enemy's two-wing chariots. The loss was just now. If it exceeds a thousand, if it were me, I would not be able to get such a result."

Murong Ping squinted his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Are we going to concentrate our forces and defeat the enemy? Or ignore the chariots behind and concentrate on rushing towards Tan Shao again. Kill the weak points of their formation, go to Nancheng, and find a way to join the reinforcements from Heipao."

Yueshou said solemnly: "I'm afraid this is not the best strategy, reinforcements have already arrived in the Nancheng of the Jin army, and when we were attacking the enemy army Tan Shao just now, we could see that there were already a thousand or two thousand cavalry in the rear. , probably because they saw that the situation in Tan Shao's department was critical, but it was not at the point of collapse."

"So now these Jin troops from Nancheng are still in the whole team, and they have not come forward to rescue directly. We have lost our best chance to attack Tan Shao. Even if we rush out of an opening and want to go to Nancheng, there will be troops behind the enemy's formation to intercept it. Just now, we came out from the city gate and attacked from both sides. Now the offense and defense have reversed, and if we want to force Tan Shao again, I am afraid there is no chance. Your Majesty, we have to make other plans!"

Murong Zhen sighed: "Ping'er has fought chariots before, so he knows that chariots are not easy to fight, but now that Zhu Lingshi is waiting for reinforcements, even if they all charge over, there is not much chance, this time they are connected with iron cables. Attacking, the chariots can shoot powerfully from a distance, and they can fight with long weapons at close range. There are iron ropes to prevent our army from passing between the chariots. What is even worse is that their chariots are iron wheels, not wooden wheels that can be broken with one blow. Now, it is simply a moving fortress, and if you want to break it, you can only rely on maneuverability to detour."

Murong Ping said sternly: "But now they are pressing hundreds of chariots together, occupying the entire space between the long siege and the city wall. It is the same as attacking the enemy's long siege, so if you are short, attack the enemy's chief."

Yueshou squinted his eyes: "Then we can also try to rush over, control the horse to jump over the iron rope, kill the chariot, and then attack from both sides. It is not without chance of winning."

Murong Zhen shook his head: "We have tried two small-scale attacks like this just now. After the enemy's chariot, a large group of infantry followed, and a part of the cavalry was on the line. Even if they rushed over, they would collide with each other. Their infantry phalanx did not leave us a chance to attack from both sides, unless we have enough troops to be able to kill a large number of enemy troops on the city wall."

Yueshou's eyes lit up: "There are ten or twenty thousand reserve sergeants and archers in the city, you can let them go to the city to fight now, the troops on both sides of the enemy are encircling us, but the attack from the front of the city will give them a lot of damage. of!"

Murong Ping gritted his teeth: "It's too late, wait until we notify the troops in the city and let them go to the city, I'm afraid the Jin army in both directions will already flatten us, and besides, there is a gap in the city wall more than 300 paces wide. , it is impossible for anyone to climb the city to defend this place."

Yueshou slapped the saddle anxiously, and said loudly, "This is not possible, that is not possible, is it possible that we have to wait here to die?"

Murong Zhen said slowly: "It is not advisable to attack both sides~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it will only damage our precious troops in vain, it has been almost two hours since we rode out to fight in armor, and now the people are tired and the horses are exhausted. It has been lost. If I want to break through in one direction and turn to other places, there is no chance. As the commander, I will be responsible for the lives of the soldiers and the national fortune of Dayan. I will withdraw the troops to the city, and the next step will be arranged by the national division. , is what is to be done.”

Yueshou's eyes widened: "This, how can this be possible? We made so many arrangements, and we managed to get out of the city. For this reason, even the entire city wall collapsed. If we retreat to the city now, then the enemy army It is bound to follow and chase into the city, and the entire Guanggu will fall!"

Murong Zhen nodded solemnly: "It is possible, so we must minimize the loss, there are still more than 6,000 armored cavalry, and it is not easy to return to the city before the enemy forces on both sides are encircled, General Yue. , you take your blue-armored cavalry, withdraw first, enter the inner city at the fastest speed, and don't care about the things behind."

Yueshou gritted his teeth: "How can this be possible? Even if it is to retreat, it should be after my subordinates are cut off and let the more combat-effective King's subordinates retreat."

Murong Zhen gritted his teeth: "This battle is under my own command, and I will take full responsibility for the victory or defeat of this battle. Lord Yue, when you go back, the national division will not embarrass you, nor will you annex your subordinates. But when I go back, it's hard to tell, so I'm the only one who will stop the loss after the break, understand?"
