Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 780
At this time, on the east bank of Weishui, the battlefield has already spread.Due to their own chaos, the slave army could no longer besiege the Huainan Army at the original landing site. The frontline soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the defense line used to encircle the Huainan Army was getting weaker and weaker.

The number of troops that can be invested in the follow-up is also less and less. Many soldiers from the other battalion have just been transferred from the original camp to fill the defense line. As a result, they scattered in the middle of the journey, and even the commanders were hiding among the soldiers. Flee to the countryside far away from the battlefield.

Faced with such a situation, of course the Huainan Army will no longer stick to the original formation. Under the leadership of the fighting commander at the front line, the soldiers will use the battalion as a unit to rush straight to the weak point in the formation ahead!
"Kill the slaves, kill the slaves! This battle must be won, and Ji Long will be captured alive!"

"Kill Jie to pay for the crime, and live on the ground!"

"Huainan is brave and strong, swear to break the thief slave!"

The cries of generosity came and went one after another in the battle formation, which gave the slave soldiers a sense of intimidation that they were besieged on all sides.Although there are many figures on the battlefield, it is rare to see the real stalemate and fierce fighting at this moment. Although the slave soldiers are still rushing around, they are mostly just to avoid the supervisors in the rear. The soldiers were urged to drive away, but they no longer rushed forward foolishly to wrestle with the Huainan army.

"I am from Jin, I am from Jin... Spare me, spare my life!"

In the chaos, there were many slave soldiers who ran into the Huainan army who was charging. Some of them dropped their weapons neatly and fell to the ground. Fearing that they would be killed by mistake, they tried their best to lift their messy temple hair, just to show that they were very different from Jie Hu. facial features.However, in such a chaotic situation, their move is purely superfluous. The Huainan Army's front-line battles at this moment only target those slave troops that still maintain a certain organizational system and have a fairly large ranks. Most of them just kept driving away, so that these people could not form a team.

In such a chaotic and noisy environment, any orders are no longer capable. The key to the Huainan Army's ability to maintain the battalion system is that every commander, such as Wu Shi and the lieutenant, took the lead. They followed suit step by step.

Heroes need to drink their own blood, and every time Fenghou comes out of the army!

The Huainan Army attaches great importance to the commanders at the lower level, such as soldiers and lieutenants, and even dates back to before the formation of the army. So he pulled out the legendary soldier who joined the army.

Although Shen Zhezi also recruited a large number of his own children, tribes and alumni into the army in order to strengthen the control of the army at the beginning of the formation of the Huainan Army, most of these people were not directly in important positions, even the son of Yu Yi. Yu Manzhi, including Shen Zhezi's cousin Shen Yun, were gradually recruited from relatively low-level soldiers.The children of these aristocratic families hold this position, which is a kind of reinforcement for the low-level position of Bingwei, and they will use it after accumulating meritorious deeds.

Before the slave army came south, most of the children of these aristocratic families led hundreds of soldiers into the south of Henan, and even won such a brilliant victory as the city father.Afterwards, whether it was the Battle of Yingkou or the Battle of Feikou, these young people were fully promoted and reused. For example, Shen Yun defended the important place of Xiashi City alone, Yu Manzhi was in Bagong Mountain, and Xie Yi led the army in Feikou. Coordinating between mouths.

Although the selection process of these young generals is by no means fair and just, of course there are reasons why Shen Zhezi took special care of them and gave them more opportunities to perform.But at the very least, every time it is used, there are merits and traces to follow.With Shen Zhezi's authority and status in Huainan, there is no need for this seemingly superfluous method to establish the impression that kindness comes from his disciples, but he still carries it out relatively seriously.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to tell these young people that what status they may achieve in the army does not depend on who they are, or what kind of relationship they have with the general, but rather It depends on whether there are matching talents and achievements.On the other hand, it is also a warning to latecomers not to substitute Jiangdong's messy world style into the Huainan army. Because of the example of these predecessors, many aristocratic families who joined the army in Liangjun to reinforce Huainan did not dare to insist on fame.

The last point, of course, is also to set a group of role models for those soldiers and create a selection model for the Huainan Army that is different from the world.Based on this alone, it is of course impossible to wash away the long-standing evils of the world, which Shen Zhezi has to admit.But this is not a question of direction of thinking, but a question of time.In time, as the Huainan army fought for a long time, more and more cold soldiers like Mo Zhong would stand out from the army and become the backbone of the army.

Only in this way can the Huainan Army have greater inclusiveness and growth, and enable soldiers to enjoy martial arts, fight bravely, and achieve greater victories and achievements.Let these military positions return to the military itself, and no longer depend on the patronage of the family or the relationship between the village and the clan.

To complete this idea, there must be a huge variable impacting the original order, and it cannot be completed behind closed doors.For example, in the current battle of Wokou, the sky-shattering achievements are right in front of you, and the gap in the battle is only a few feet away, but if you judge the achievements after the fact, it may be a judgment of cloud and mud!After this battle, how many people can be named Marquis?How many people can win the obeisance to the general?How many people will be lonely?
It's all undecided!Whoever can shake the world in the future has a bow and knife in his hand at this moment!

The morale is like this. The more chaotic the slave army is, the more certain the chances of victory will be, and the Huainan army in the battle will be more brave!

In a fierce battle, nearly a thousand slave soldiers were forced into a corner by a battalion of Huainan soldiers.However, the slave army along this route was only retreating due to the general situation, but it has not yet collapsed. It seems that it should be a soldier who supervises the slave general who is in charge of the war. roam.

This battalion of the Huainan army was no longer full of soldiers after a lot of fighting. Although there were only more than 200 people in the area, they were still extremely brave and fearless in the angled battlefield between the two camps.Dozens of spear-wielding soldiers in the front line, led by the soldiers, rushed straight to the thousands of enemies on the opposite side, followed closely by the two-winged swords and shields. Hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Of course, the counterattack of the slave soldiers was also fierce.There were also many slave soldiers forming formations to shoot in the army formation, and the Huainan army kept killing people from being shot by arrows during the pursuit.

"Rush quickly! Go through this process and enter the formation, and the thief will have no arrows to shoot!"

The soldier rushing to the front roared, and at the same time he was doing his best, running even faster, turning a blind eye to the arrows passing over his head.And the soldiers behind him roared fiercely, and their speed became more and more fierce, rushing to the distance of tens of feet in no time.The soldiers holding lances in the front line had their lances leveled in their hands, and the long lances pierced directly into the camp of the slave army, immediately piercing a deep wound in the formation of the slave army.The slave soldiers who bore the brunt were all directly pierced by the sharp spear, and the dead bodies stood in a line!
Even though there were slave soldiers on the side who wanted to rush up and kill the Huainan soldiers who were trapped in the formation, they were immediately retreated by the infantry on both wings with swords and shields.The lance soldiers continued to charge towards the enemy's position with their lances. Every foot they advanced, some slave soldiers would die.So directly plunged into the slave formation to a depth of several zhang, all the slaves on the left and near scattered and fled, not daring to step forward to forcefully block it.Nearly a thousand enemy troops were directly pierced and rushed away by these hundreds of Huainan troops who were not afraid of death!

Morale affects every corner of the battlefield in this way. If this battalion of Huainan army hesitates and pauses after seeing the enemy's strength, it will naturally be counterattacked by the slave army. The army was wiped out here.Even if he quickly withdraws from the battle, he is likely to be chased by the slave army, and he will have to pay a very heavy price to get rid of the slave army's pursuit.

But now, they rushed directly into the battle without any hesitation. Although nearly half of them died on the way to the battle, in the end it was the slave army who couldn't stand the heavy casualties and fled.

"Don't run away, general, present your head and help me become a marquis!"

After piercing through the enemy's formation, the soldier wiped away the blood splashed all over his face, and after a little identification, he continued to chase in the direction where the slave general was fleeing.The other troops naturally followed suit and tried their best to catch up. As for the soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move, they sat up on the spot, put spears in front of them, wiped their foreheads with blood, and shouted slogans to kill slaves. A successor army wandering on the battlefield came to meet them.

In fact, when it comes to the organizational strength of the grassroots, the slave army is not much inferior to the Huainan army, or even worse.For example, some of them accounted for a large number of random followers, and there were many fathers and sons living together in the army. They worshiped the commanders and chiefs for generations. When it comes to cooperation in the battle, they have even penetrated into life and carved into their bones.What's more, life itself is not stable farming, and there are many migrations without a fixed place. When dealing with battles with many variables, the almost habitual execution ability itself is the foundation of elite soldiers.

This kind of organization method, once the wind is blowing, whether it is to jointly kill the enemy or loot the supplies, it is extremely skillful and invincible.But once encountering adversity, the generals are definitely not able to stop the situation where the general situation collapses and the people collapse.

You must know that besides this identity, the commanders at the grassroots level also have the identity of suzerain and parents. The soldiers around them are not only their comrades-in-arms, but also their relatives and family property. Once encountering adversity, the first thing that comes to mind must be Preserve yourself and your family property, disregarding military orders.

Military law is not enemy-like. The reason why any elite strong army must emphasize military discipline and military law is to pass these strict and careful military orders, and try to strip off the social organization other than the army from the soldiers, so that father and son ignore, Military orders must be followed.What's more, even the entire social structure outside the army is biased towards military law.

At this time, there was still some time before dawn, and Shi Hu fled in a hurry under the protection of thousands of cronies. felt.

After the slave general Ma Qiu took over the guard of honor left by Shi Hu, he did not notify the generals to leave the battle line as Shi Hu ordered before he left, because this is just nonsense, if the slave army still can get out of the battle There is no room for battle, why even the main general has to flee!So how many of the generals can escape from birth at the moment, it is really necessary to have their own destiny, send someone to pass the message, can you find someone to pass the order in the chaotic formation, not to mention, it is more likely to spread the news that the main general has escaped In the formation, causing more chaos.

"The southern thieves are fierce and desperate, and they want to drive out all the people of the country! The army is far away from foreign countries. If they break up and flee, there will be no chance of survival! Only now can we fight for a way to survive!"

After taking over the flag and drums, Ma Qiu no longer made any loud encouragement. Because of the declarations of the Huainan Army before, Shi Hu only kept the Jiehu soldiers by his side.Although thousands of people were taken away before, during the chaotic battle, many soldiers looked to the banner of the general, and many Jiehu soldiers gathered here one after another.Some knew that Shi Hu had escaped, and even chased them in that direction, but there were more people in the chaos who didn't know the details, and just gathered around the banner in a mess.

After Shihu escaped for a moment, Ma Qiu came on stage and yelled, in order to express the truth of what he said, he personally took a bow and shot at the slaves rushing in the direction of Shihu's escape, also known as the cavalry, chasing after them, and then Only then did people sound the flag and drums: "The next battle is not for merit, but for survival! Anyone who wants to live, use the flag as a banner, and rush out with me!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered people to load Shi Hu's guard of honor into the carriage, and led the hundreds of surviving troops of his direct line to rush to the opposite direction from Shi Hu's escape.Even if the Zuojin slaves didn't hear the order, they could still see the movement of the flag and drums, and they all subconsciously followed up. Soon, more than 2000 people gathered, and there were still slaves chasing after each other in the frontline battlefield. Come.

"The slave army is defeated, the slave army is defeated!"

The Huainan army on the front line also noticed the movement of the banner of the slave army in the rear, and immediately burst into a series of enthusiastic shouts.

"God bless Jin Zuo, Huainan is strong and strong! Jie thieves are ugly, and the merit of inserting the mark, how can they be separated from each other! All the armies fight hard, and Ji Long will be killed in the wild!"

Han Huang, the governor of the Huainan Army's middle road, had already landed at this time. Following his order, dozens of battle drums in the formation rang loudly, and the Huainan Army's various units echoed one after another on the battlefield that stretched for dozens of miles.All the soldiers, who still had the strength to fight, all cheered up their courage, and rushed towards the banner of the slave army's retreat!

"Yongjia is old, it's gone now! Jin Zuo's voice, Zhu Xia's new life, I started from my own generation!"

At this time, the Huainan cavalry also came from the upper reaches of Weishui, and Shen Zhezi clearly saw the soldiers of the slave army fleeing to the rear surrounded by the crooked flags and drums of the stone tiger through the twilight of the dawn, and their blood was already surging On the head, stepping on the stirrups and lashing the whip vigorously: "The journey of a hundred miles has not passed halfway. First, kill the thieves and slaves, and go up to comfort the hunger, thirst and long-term hatred. In the future, we will travel across China, and there will be no more hesitation!"

"Die for Shen Houxiao, kill slaves in the wild, and drink horses and rivers!"

As soon as Shen Zhezi finished speaking, Liu Di, who was the commander of his battalion nearby, waved his whip and raised his arms and shouted.

"Die for Shen Houxiao, cross China, and shake the north and south!"

Thousands of riders spread out on the field, and soon passed in front of the chasing troops from the Huainan roads, taking over their position in chasing and killing Jiehu Yukou.And as the cavalry team joined the battle, the sound of the slave army's mourning finally sounded, and the sounds of wailing and yelling for mercy in the countryside filled the world, and under the iron hooves, a wide bloody avenue paved with corpses was approaching. Quickly spread out in the direction where the slave army fled!

"Forgive me, spare my life... If I can survive, I will never dare to look south in this life..."

The slave soldiers were already running desperately, but how could they escape the pursuit of the cavalry? Many Jie slaves knocked on the ground with blood and tears on their faces, but they could not escape their final fate.

There were also many cavalry in the slave army, but they were all scattered by the rebellious soldiers, and it was difficult to gather together.However, after escaping for a certain distance, these cavalry gradually surpassed the fleeing large troops, and there were signs of gathering in front.

And after Shen Zhezi led the cavalry to chase the slave army for a while, he also detoured from the general direction of the slave army's escape, and rushed straight to the opposing cavalry.At this moment, those who still have horses and mounts on the way to flee are naturally the elite and commanders of the slave army, and they should be eliminated first.Moreover, Shen Zhezi never believed that Shi Hu would honestly flee with the flags, drums and guards of honor. He didn't need to think about it, but he knew that it must be a bait. Only by capturing the slave army commanders could he find out the specific escape route of Shi Hu.
