Chapter 452 Qingzhou Reinforcements
Chapter 452 Qingzhou Reinforcements
The reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and they were about to collide with Dayu's army, but they showed no intention of stopping.
Seeing this, Dayu's generals were a little confused.
At this time, Dayu's manpower is enough to surround Daqian's army. Even if another army is squeezed in, it will not be of any help to deal with Daqian's army. On the contrary, it will add a lot of trouble.
The best way now is to wait not far away and provide support at any time.
Of course, some generals were a little wary. Why have I never heard of this Dayu army?
Although General Zong Wenfu was good at using surprise troops, the appearance of this army was too sudden.
Moreover, it is too late for them to arrive now that the war is almost over.
They just watched each other getting closer and didn't stop them. By now, everyone is exhausted, and naturally they don't want to believe that this army was faked by Daqian's army.
"Stop, stop!"
Seeing that both sides were about to collide, but the other side still had no intention of stopping, Dayu's generals shouted.
Hearing this, the general among the reinforcements raised his hand and told everyone to stop.
General Dayu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no problem with the reinforcements. But the next moment, their eyes widened.
Among the reinforcements, the soldiers in the front row moved quickly to both sides, while the soldiers in the middle all held repeating crossbows. At this time, they had already strung their bows and pointed them in this direction.
If I remember correctly, this weapon is unique to Daqian. Moreover, the position where these repeating crossbows were aimed was Dayu's army.
Turning around, he saw that in order to prevent Lin Xiaofan and others from breaking out, Dayu's army was stationed very compactly, with weapons almost touching each other. If we were hit by arrows in this situation, the number of casualties would be...
Thinking about it, a general reacted quickly and roared:
"Spread out, everyone spread out!"
It was definitely too late to form a formation at this time. If we spread out our positions, we might be able to reduce some losses.
The soldiers had already realized that something was wrong, but the crossbows were already pointed at them, so why did they bother to obey the command? One by one, they burrowed into the middle, trying to get their comrades to block the crossbow arrows.
With this squeeze, Dayu's soldiers were all together like a pot of porridge, and some were even accidentally squeezed to the ground.
"Fire arrows!"
A round of crossbow arrows was fired, and Dayu's soldiers fell one after another.
Moreover, the soldiers with shields and armors were fighting against Lin Xiaofan and others in the front, while most of those in the rear were wounded or poorly equipped.
"Be careful, this is Daqian's army in disguise!"
Dayu's generals shouted, but the reinforcements' crossbows never stopped.
The first row of crossbowmen squatted down one after another, and the second row of crossbows followed one after another. After the second row of crossbows fired, the people in the first row continued shooting.
They didn't stop until the crossbow arrows were empty.
At this time, the ground was covered with the corpses of Dayu soldiers. The original team of more than 10,000 people quickly shrunk to 5,000 or 6,000 people.
The reinforcement archers made way, revealing a battle formation composed of spearmen in the middle.
The cry of killing rang out, and the battle formation was like a tiger showing its sharp teeth, slamming into Dayu's scattered army.
At this distance, Dayu's soldiers had no time to form a fighting formation and could only hurriedly pick up their weapons to respond to the enemy. However, in an instant, they were defeated.
Lin Xiaofan looked towards the reinforcements and happened to catch Duanmu Liangchuan's gaze.
The latter was still dressed in commoner clothes, with a spring-like smile on his face, and looked like he was strategizing.
"Qingzhou Army, support is coming..."
Lin Xiaofan tightened his grip on his weapon, took a long breath, and smiled.
In this battle, he indeed lost to Zong Wenfu.
But Daqian is not just him, there are also Jianfeng, Jianbai, Fengsheng, Duanmu Liangchuan, Kang Hong, and Zhao Zihan.
He was the loser, but Da Gan did not lose.
"Withdraw the Chinese army."
Several leaders of Dayu spoke. These thousands of soldiers who have lost their courage are simply unable to deal with the tens of thousands of elites in Da Gan.
Instead of doing this, it is better to find ways to reduce losses.
After the remnant army got the news, they became even more confused. Many people discarded their weapons, even their helmets and armor, just to run faster.
There are still seven or eight people left in some schools. With mutual cooperation, they could have lasted for a while. As a result, two or three of them suddenly quit, causing the remaining people to be killed directly.
In the end, Dayu left more than a thousand corpses behind.
"Keep the battle formation and chase after them."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and commanded.
Although the Qingzhou Army came all the way, their condition was obviously much better than this remnant army, and they could continue to pursue them.
Moreover, Jianfeng was heading towards the Chinese army just now. I don't know what the situation is now, but I want to take a look anyway.
The army chased them all the way, and the soldiers who were running slowly or who were injured and fell to the ground were killed by repeated crossbows.
After walking about a mile, they stopped.
Looking ahead, there is a large jade army blocking the road. It is the same large jade army that faced Chen Tian before.
Vice General Zongwen's previous Chinese army, as well as the soldiers who came to support the Chinese army, all mobilized and gathered 30,000 troops.
Chen Tian was finally defeated and rushed out with thousands of remaining troops.
The two sides confronted each other and neither acted rashly.
Although Zong Wenfu had a numerical advantage, his soldiers had been fighting for a long time and were very tired mentally and physically. And the army in front of them looks very simple.
If a war breaks out, even if they can absorb the reinforcements of 10,000 people in front of them, they will probably suffer heavy losses and will not be able to continue to attack the capital.
Lin Xiaofan also knew Zong Wenfu's military strategy, and coupled with the opponent's numerical advantage, it was difficult to win this battle.
At this moment, Zong Wenfu made a move that no one could have imagined.
He walked out of Dayu's battle formation alone and walked a distance of thirty feet before stopping.
The Qingzhou army picked up their repeating crossbows and aimed at Zong Wenfu. As long as the opponent takes a few steps forward, he can be instantly shot into a hedgehog.
"Lin Xiaofan, I have heard of your name for a long time. Would you like to come out and talk to me?"
Zong Wenfu shouted.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan frowned slightly. The image of Zong Wenfu in his heart has always been vicious. It was also because of this that he did not agree to Zong Wenfu immediately.
But who would have thought that the other party took a few steps forward, then waved his hand to General Dayu behind him and said:
"The whole army obeys the order and retreats fifty steps."
General Dayu didn't hesitate at all, maintaining his battle formation and retreating back.
After stopping, Zong Wenfu continued to shout:
"Lin Xiaofan, would you like to come out and talk to me."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofan said:
"Fengsheng, let's go take a look."
Zong Wenfu's actions just now were enough to show the other party's sincerity. Moreover, after Dayu's army retreated, it would not pose a threat to him.
With Fengsheng watching over her, nothing will happen.
