Of course, Zhao Kaishan quickly learned the news of the army's defeat.
Knowing that the eight thousand army was defeated, he fell to the ground on the spot and was speechless for a long time.
Lost?
Why did you lose?
I have never lost a battle with Jin Bing before.
Even if you fight hard, you won't be defeated, right?
why is that?
Su Yonglin won the battle, but I lost?
The generals around Zhao Kaishan were shocked and asked him to respond immediately, dispatch troops to meet the defeated troops, and prevent the Jin soldiers from pursuing them all the way and destroying the camp, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
However, Zhao Kaishan was in a state of confusion, his mind went blank, and he could not make a decision for a long time.
The generals around him were anxious, but they did not dare to make a hasty decision.
At the critical moment, Li Xiao, who was guarding Xizhai, sent someone to inform Zhao Kaishan that he had decided to send troops to take the defeated soldiers back to camp and prevent further pursuit by the Jin army.
It turned out that Li Xiao was anxious when he saw that there was no movement in Dongzhai. He felt that the opportunity to fight would soon be lost, so he decided to kill first and then play later. He decisively led the army out of camp to meet the defeated troops and prevent the Jin soldiers from continuing to pursue.
Li Xiao took the lead and led the army to advance quickly. He pulled up his horses on the road, set up his spears, and deployed a large array of crossbowmen, leaving only the middle passage for the defeated troops.
Not to mention, he actually responded to many defeated troops, including Zhao Yucheng and Zhao Kaihe.
Zhao Yucheng was forcibly brought back by the soldiers and was the first to return.
Zhao Kaihe stumbled back and was shot by an arrow in the shoulder, his face was pale.
The rest of the defeated soldiers looked panicked, rolling and crawling like the earth was falling apart, almost collapsing.
After about a thousand people were brought in, the cavalry of the Jin Army and the defeated troops of the Guangfu Army were too close to distinguish each other. In order to preserve the overall situation, Li Xiao endured the grief in his heart and decisively ordered the passage to be sealed. A large number of spearmen stepped forward to stop the enemy.
"From now on, no one is allowed to approach Juma. Anyone who dares to climb over will be killed without mercy!"
Li Xiao made up his mind and issued a decisive order.
Many defeated soldiers were still behind. They rushed towards the Juma like crazy, trying to escape past the Juma and stay away from the terrifying enemies chasing after them like the god of death.
But such behavior is absolutely unacceptable.
Once the blocking facilities are destroyed, it's all over.
"kill!"
The decisive order was given, and Li Xiao's soldiers hesitated for a moment before taking action.
The spearmen stabbed with their spears, while the crossbowmen fired arrows like rain, killing the soldiers who tried to attack and resist the horses.
A large number of arrows killed many of the defeated troops of the Liberation Army, but at the same time blocked the Jin Army's cavalry pursuit at the front.
These Jin Army cavalry were caught off guard and were shot and killed together with the defeated troops of the Liberation Army. They also suffered a certain degree of losses and were unable to move forward.
Ugu Lunjige originally pursued the enemy very happily, hoping to completely defeat the Liberation Army's Dazhai and capture Feixian County in one fell swoop. However, he soon learned that the forward pursuit was blocked.
Despite the disastrous defeat of the Liberation Army, there was still a backhand to protect their retreat. The forward cavalry was blocked by a large number of horseback and crossbow arrows. They suffered losses and could not continue to move forward. They asked for further instructions.
Good guys, be prepared!
These rebel thieves are not simple!
Ugu Lunjige was very angry.
Now that we’ve reached this point, what further instructions are there?
Since the Liberation Army had responded in time, and the Jin Army had not even completely sorted out the camp, there was no point in continuing the battle, and it would only increase casualties.
After Wugu Lunjige asked Shuhu Siji for instructions, Shuhu Siji thought about it for a while and decided to give up as soon as he could and establish a firm foothold first.
So he ordered a truce, and the entire army retreated back to the camp. After reorganizing the camp and the army, he made other plans.
Overall, Hu Siji was satisfied with the results of this battle.
In the dangerous situation of the infantry formation, the Jin Army relied on the outstanding performance of the cavalry to turn the tide of the battle and completely defeated the Liberation Army, defeating more than 8,000 Liberation Army soldiers in one fell swoop.
Statistics after the war showed that the Jin Army killed more than 1,300 Liberation Army soldiers in battles and pursuits. A small number of the remaining Liberation Army units fled back to their camps, while most were captured by the Jin Army. .
Preliminary statistics on the number of captured Liberation Army soldiers include more than 5,000, all of whom were unable to run away and knelt on the ground to surrender.
The Jin army made great gains.
Shu Husiji let out a fierce breath, calmed down, and completely established a psychological advantage over the Liberation Army. He felt that pacifying the rebellion of the Liberation Army would no longer be a problem. As long as the attack continued, the Liberation Army would collapse sooner or later.
Furthermore, he seized on the weakness of the Liberation Army's cavalry, which was weak and not maneuverable, and sent someone back to deliver a message to Yelu Chenghui, asking Yelu Chenghui to tell Tu Danjing that the two of them should work together to send more cavalry, and he could defeat the Liberation Army. Don't dare to come out of the huddled city.
Shandong's chaos is just around the corner!
As for the Liberation Army, it can basically be described in four words: "Sang Kao Yi".
Zhao Kaihe was injured. After he came back, he treated his injury in his camp. He saw no one except the military doctor. He closed the door to thank guests and treated himself in isolation.
After Zhao Yucheng realized that he was defeated, he had no face to see his father and colleagues. He asked to be relieved of his position as commander of the Beiwei Army and asked to seriously learn how to lead troops from scratch as an ordinary soldier in order to avenge his shame in the future.
Eight thousand troops went out, but only more than 1,500 people retreated, and the rest were lost to the Jin army.
When something like this happens, front-line commanders Zhao Kaihe and Zhao Yucheng are to blame, and even Zhao Kaishan can't say anything.
For the entire Liberation Army, once they were defeated, the psychological advantage they had accumulated over the Jin Army disappeared, and the entire military camp was filled with a wave of pessimism.
Those soldiers who returned from defeat were either injured and screaming, or they were sitting on the ground with their knees in their hands and fell into isolation. They could no longer find any courage to face the Jin army. These people could be said to be useless. Can no longer be used.
And the atmosphere they brought further stimulated the rest of the Liberation Army soldiers. A pessimistic atmosphere swept the military camp, and everyone was confused and didn't know how to proceed next.
The officers gathered together and looked at Zhao Kaishan who was sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed and concentrating. No one knew what to say and could only wait for Zhao Kaishan to summarize the defeat.
In the four months since it launched its troops, the Liberation Army has never been defeated, and its record against the Jin Army was a complete victory.
Before this disastrous defeat, Su Yonglin's victory record of annihilating the Jin Army's regular army greatly boosted the morale of the Liberation Army. Therefore, when this wave of Liberation Army dared to fight against the Jin Army in the field, they really went with the idea of a great victory. of.
The result was such a disastrous failure.
If Li Xiao hadn't reacted in time and led his troops forward to stop the Jin Army from continuing to pursue without waiting for orders, it's unknown whether the Liberation Army would have been defeated by the Jin Army in one fell swoop and lost Feixian County.
More importantly, the disastrous defeat of this battle destroyed the psychological advantage of the Liberation Army from top to bottom. They generally once again had a fear of the Jin Army outside, especially their sharp cavalry, which made the big guys even more afraid. The child is worried.
So what to do?
What to do next?
Can we still win?
Can the rebellion continue?
All the officers who could speak were waiting in the commander's tent for Zhao Kaishan's decision.
But Zhao Kaishan didn't speak for a long time, just closed his eyes, making people wonder what he was thinking.
If he hadn't snored, everyone would have thought he was asleep.
After waiting restlessly, Zhao Kaishan slowly opened his eyes.
"If the order goes down, Zhao Kaihe and Zhao Yucheng will be defeated and unable to escape the blame. Zhao Kaihe will be removed from the post of commander of the Bai Army, and Zhao Yucheng will be removed from the post of commander of the Wei Army... Following his wishes, under the command of the commander Become a soldier in the guard!"
This defeat severely dampened the Anti-Golden Enthusiasm of the Liberation Army and made everyone in the Liberation Army confused about the future of the anti-Golden Movement. This was a quite fatal danger.
Unlike others, they are not the "chief culprits" of the rebellion. If Jin Ting issues a recruitment notice in the future, they can even change themselves and come ashore to become officers and soldiers.
The Zhao family is the leader of the rebellion. According to historical rules, the leader of the rebellion cannot be pardoned no matter what, and the entire family will be exterminated.
At this moment, Zhao Kaishan realized that his situation was very dangerous, and he needed to make some moves to convince people that he planned to continue to resist, that his will had not wavered, and that he could fight again.
Otherwise, once people's trust in him is compromised and their will to resist gold is shaken, he will really be finished, and the Liberation Army will soon disperse.
This golden army must be defeated and defeated. This cannot be changed.
Otherwise, this uprising can be declared a failure and the Zhao family can be declared finished.
In order to show that his will to resist gold will not be shaken, Zhao Kaishan must make some decisions and changes to stabilize people's hearts.
Right now, Zhao Kaihe and Zhao Yucheng must be sacrificed.
