There was chaos outside the city, and the Jin army found that they were surrounded by enemies. The bullets fired from the dense firecrackers kept killing and wounding some of them. The chaos caused them to huddle together and stampede, causing even greater casualties.
Being surrounded on all sides, they did not dare to rush in the direction of the attack. They just wanted to find a direction where there was no attack and escape.
But in addition to the attacks of firecrackers and arrows, the darkness made them even more frightened. Coupled with the cavalry who suddenly rushed out, the chaos was out of control.
Wanyan Lu shuttled back and forth among the crowd, and his generals tried their best to maintain order and military formation. Unfortunately, in the chaos, the defeated army that could be gathered was less than 10,000 people, and it was because they were around Wanyan Lu .
Elsewhere, even the generals have panicked, and there are not many generals who are truly capable of suppressing the rout.
Looking at the cavalry rushing towards him, Wan Yanlu's eyes flashed as he made a decision and gave some instructions to the generals beside him.
They rushed towards the other side. It was impossible to attack the city now, and it was also impossible to confront the cavalry rushing over. Wanyan Lu knew that it was useless to try to save the situation when the war situation was already in chaos.
What he was thinking about now was how to break out. Wanyan Qinglin beside him looked at Wanyan Lu, not knowing what to say to him.
This young prince was still too young, and after a few victories, he underestimated his enemies. But having said that, in fact, since he entered Jingdi, his long-term victories have made him feel contempt.
To be honest, before coming to Shandong Road, he felt that Jingren on Shandong Road was vulnerable. But after what happened to Zeng Changan, he knew that he had underestimated Jingren.
In other words, he forgot that the three forces such as Hujiazhuang on Shandong Road were Yunze's subordinates. Even if Yunze was not in charge here, with Yunze's methods, wouldn't his subordinates learn a little bit from it.
Not to mention, it is impossible for the weapons in Yunze's hands not to be equipped for his own forces. He knew that it would be impossible to capture Hujiazhuang this time.
It can even be said that after this battle, the Jin Army may no longer have the courage to attack Hujiazhuang. Not to mention whether they can defeat it or not, the endless means are enough to make them collapse.
Sighing, Wanyan Qinglin followed Wanyan Lu and rushed forward. They broke out of the chaotic military formation, a team of ten thousand people, and rushed directly to the area ahead where the fire and gunfire was densely packed.
Soon, within a few breaths, they saw the soldiers hiding in the bunker in front of them. They saw the Jin army rushing towards them, and they threw the grenades in their hands this way.
What shocked Wanyan Qinglin and Wanyan Lu was that when the infantry saw their cavalry, they had no intention of retreating. Some of them were even charging toward them with spiked muskets in their hands. He even shouted loudly.
"Brothers, the Jin invaders invaded our rivers and mountains, destroyed my homeland, and killed my compatriots. We will fight with them... kill..."
Nearly a thousand infantrymen were charging towards them from the front, with murderous intent in their eyes and no intention of retreating. Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin even vaguely felt that they saw the hatred and determination in these people's eyes.
They were fighting with all their might, even though there were only a thousand people, and even though they had no horses, no one retreated.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided with each other, and thousands of people were knocked away by the war horses in an instant. But even so, the infantrymen who were trampled by the war horses actually laughed wildly and fired the grenades on their bodies.
Even if they die, they still have to hold these cavalry back. Bang... Explosions sounded in the cavalry formation, and every explosion almost blew up and killed several Jin soldiers.
The attacking cavalry formation suddenly became chaotic, so chaotic that Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin's pupils shrank. They had never seen such desperate soldiers. They knew they were going to die, but they wanted to bring their enemies with them.
Such courage and morale made the two of them feel chilled. If all the enemy troops they encountered were so brave and unafraid of death, then even if they had hundreds of thousands more, they would never be able to defeat their opponents.
If the Jing people were like this, how could they, the Jin people, destroy the Jing Dynasty?
In their horrified eyes, suddenly, a huge explosion sounded beside them, and the powerful energy flew Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin away.
The two of them seemed to have been stabbed by some sharp weapon on their legs and hands. The intense pain and the impact of powerful energy made them feel almost dizzy.
Fortunately, the guards who followed quickly caught the two men who were flying upside down. Their eyes were full of horror when they looked at the two generals who were covered in blood. These people didn't think much and ran away with their cavalry.
Because the Fire Gun infantry here were dealt with by them, they finally escaped. Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin looked pale and could barely keep their bodies steady. Looking back behind them, there was deep fear in their eyes.
Nearly half of the nearly 10,000 people who followed them out were dead at this time. Such a battle loss ratio made them all think they were wrong. The other party obviously only has about a thousand people. But it caused them nearly 5,000 casualties.
Although the infantry were all dead, from a distance, they seemed to be still alive. The upper body of some soldiers was blown away, but their legs were firmly clamped on half of the body of a cavalry member of the Jin Army.
Some only had their heads left, but their teeth were still biting the Jin army's corpse. Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin never wanted to see the tragic scene again.
At the same time, because there was no attack from the fire gun soldiers in this direction, the Jin Army cavalry who quickly recovered their senses broke out in this direction. The surrounding soldiers from the Hujiazhuang side began to encircle them again.
But the effect has been minimal, but the fierce battle is still going on. After all, there are 100,000 people here, and it is impossible for everyone to know that this place is safe.
The battle continued until morning. At this time, only the soldiers from Hujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Liangshanshuibo were left on the entire battlefield. They totaled about 30,000 people.
Hu Sanniang, Zhu Biao, Lan Niang, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Shi Jin and others were searching around the battlefield on horseback. There were all corpses here, most of them from the Jin Army, and some from their side.
At this time, several people met in the middle, and others bowed their hands to Hu Sanniang. Because of Hu Sanniang's relationship with Yunze, several people vaguely regard her as the backbone of their side.
At this moment, a female guard appeared in front of Hu Sanniang. She said respectfully: "Master, we just interrogated several Jin prisoners we captured, and they told us that the Jin people who came to attack this time were ten. Wan, led by the vanguard general Wanyan Qinglin and Wanyan Zongbi’s eldest son Wanyan Lu.”
"Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin should have escaped from the south. The statistics after the war just came out. Our army lost 6,000 people, including 1,500 in Zhujiazhuang, 1,200 in Hujiazhuang, and the rest were from Liangshan Army. In addition, the number of wounded on our side is 4,200."
"While the enemy's death toll was 40,000, we captured nearly 3,000 prisoners."
After the female guard reported the situation, she stopped. When Hu Sanniang heard this, sadness filled her eyes. She was not happy about this victory because there were also heavy casualties on their side.
There were almost ten thousand people in total. Although the battle loss ratio was one to four, it could be said that her side had a great victory, but if possible, she really didn't want such a great victory.
She thought of the soldiers who guarded their homes and perished together with their enemies. If it hadn't been for the Jin invasion, why would they have had to rise up to resist?
She looked up and saw a sad crowd. No one cheered for the victory. They saw their companions who had been with them day and night dying on the battlefield, and they only felt sad in their hearts.
Hu Sanniang looked into the distance at this time, her eyes full of longing. She missed Yunze now. At this time, she really wished that Yunze was by her side.
However, she felt even heavier when she thought that although the Jin Army was defeated, they still had at least hundreds of thousands of people who could counterattack at any time. They might face a bigger base point.
On the other side, Wanyan Lu and Wanyan Qinglin escaped from Hujiazhuang's sphere of influence. In addition to the 5,000 people they escaped, the Jin army fled back one after another, all in a state of disarray. Almost everyone had injuries.
This battle was really frightening to him, and even now when he thinks about it, he still feels a strong sense of fear. If he hadn't seen the opportunity early and used all his strength to break through, he might have been responsible for it.
Wanyan Lu ordered to rest here and wait for the separated soldiers to come back. After almost a day, he gathered nearly 52,000 defeated troops.
From the people who came back, he vaguely knew that he might have lost more than 40,000 people, and the remaining people might never come back. His heart was filled with annoyance and panic.
He hated himself for underestimating the enemy, and also hated Yunze for being too perverted. Even if the Yunze people were not here, the forces under his command could still be so terrifying. He had a fear of Hujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, and Shuibo Liangshan.
"Little prince, what should we do next? Are we going to attack again?" At this time, Wanyan Qinglin came to Wanyan Lu and asked,
They now have more than 50,000 people left. If they turn around and attack, they will still be able to fight. Although most of the equipment has been left in front of Hujiazhuang, it does not mean that they will not be able to fight.
If it can be used well, 50,000 people may even turn defeat into victory. But... in his heart, he no longer wanted to attack Hujiazhuang. It was really what he experienced tonight that made him fearful.
Hearing this, Wanyan Lu glanced at the other party. He shook his head, sighed, and said in a decadent voice: "Even if I want to fight, the current morale is no longer suitable for attacking the family village. I can only wait. We’ll make plans after Father comes.”
It's not that he doesn't want to attack Hujiazhuang, it's because the fear in his heart is too deep that he doesn't dare to fight. In addition, his soldiers have suffered such a big loss in Hujiazhuang, so how can they have the courage to attack Hujiazhuang again.
Once there is a shadow in the heart, how much fighting power can really be exerted! It is better to give up the army temporarily than to die in vain.
When Wanyan Qinglin heard this, he felt relieved. He was really afraid that Wanyan Lu would become so angry that he would attack Hujiazhuang again. Now it seemed that Wanyan Lu was not completely a brainless fool.
Maybe he was too arrogant yesterday and didn't take Hujiazhuang and the others seriously.
Wanyan Lu glanced in the direction of Hujiazhuang again. With a gloomy look on his face, he issued an order to go to Zengtou City. He was afraid of retaliation from Hujiazhuang if he stationed troops here. Now, only when he returns to Zengtou City can he feel safe.
Fortunately, Zengtou City is not far from Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang. If you really want to attack Hujiazhuang again, you can do so at any time.
After returning to Zengtou City, although Wanyan Lu felt uneasy, he still asked someone to report the battle situation here to his father. What will happen next, he can only obey his father's arrangements.
Just when Wanyan Lu was defeated, Danyang Mansion was about to confront Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000-strong army. Yue Pengju set up defensive positions at the junction of the two sides. Of the 150,000 troops, 100,000 are in defensive positions and the remaining 50,000 are mobile.
Although Wanyan Zonghan only had one hundred thousand Jin troops, King Kang's Nanjing army had two hundred thousand troops as the vanguard, rushing towards Danyang.
After hearing the news, Yue Pengju frowned. The surrounding generals looked at Yue Pengju and fell silent. Everyone knew that the Jin Army's arrangement had put them in a bad situation.
Although they did not take it seriously to deal with the 200,000 King Kang's army, they will use most of their weapons and ammunition on King Kang's army. When they face the Jin army, they may not have enough weapons and ammunition. Condition.
Even though Yunze is now very powerful and has built several arsenals, Yunze is not fighting on a single line after all. In addition to supplying to the Danyang Army, he also needs to supply to his comrades on Shandong Road.
"Yang Xing, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, Yao Zhen, and Wang Gui give you ten thousand cavalry each. Are you sure you can destroy King Kang's two hundred thousand troops?" Yue Pengju looked at his five fierce generals at this time and asked.
These people had followed him from Taiyuan City, and they had also followed Yunze through the Jin army's formation, and even surrounded and annihilated Zong Han's proud soldiers.
Although some of the more than 5,000 cavalrymen had died in several wars, most of them were now able to stand alone.
Among the 100,000 cavalrymen under Yunze, almost every cavalry company has these people as company commanders. Some have even become regimental commanders and division commanders.
The five people in front of him are the division commanders. Here in Yunze, the military system used before is no longer the same. Yunze has adopted a modern military system.
When the five people heard this, they looked happy, and they quickly said in unison: "Commander, don't worry, we will live up to our expectations and wipe out those turtles for you."
The five of them also knew Yue Pengju's plan. They were not going to waste their weapons on King Kang's miscellaneous soldiers. They would just use cold weapons and cavalry to deal with them.
Only after the 200,000 King Kang's troops were eliminated, the remaining Jin people could concentrate on dealing with them.
Hearing this, Yue Pengju nodded. With his four beloved generals taking action, the two hundred thousand generals of King Kang would not be a worry. However, he was still a little worried. In this case, it would be equivalent to removing 50,000 troops, leaving 100,000 people on his side.
Then the number of people deployed on the front line of defense will be reduced, and there will be fewer troops available. Yue Pengju had never underestimated the Jin Army. What he was worried about now was whether he could really defeat the Jin Army without Yunze's command.
He really hopes that Yunze will come back, because every time he fights with Yunze, the calmness and confidence he feels from Yunze will make him feel at peace like never before, and he will never have to worry about failure.
This can be regarded as the first time under Yun Ze that he led so many troops to fight against the Jin Army. He had already witnessed the power of the Jin Army two years ago.
There is no news coming back from Yunze yet, and I don’t know what’s going on.
