The person in the rear must be relatively good at fighting, capable, courageous, and able to hold up the situation.
It would be better if he were not one of his own, so he wouldn't feel bad if he died.
Who could it be?
Wanyan Benjian looked at Yi Lacheng, was silent for a while, and nodded slowly.
He is a brave general, has certain fighting ability, and is a Khitan, so he will not feel bad if he dies.
What a good candidate for queen.
So Wanyan Benjian reached out and patted Yi Lacheng's shoulder.
"I have asked Yiying to take five thousand elite cavalry to escort some court officials and set off first. I will leave soon. You stay and organize more troops to cover our evacuation. We must hold on for at least an hour, otherwise we will not be allowed to retreat! Do you understand? ?”
He was stunned for a moment.
"Grand Governor, this...this..."
"This is an order! Don't disobey it! Liangbi, a scholar, dares to die for his country. As a general, don't you even have the courage? When the country is in crisis, it is time for generals like you to step forward. ! If you don’t obey the order, I will kill you now!”
Wanyan Ben saw that his beard and hair were spread out, and he became extremely angry.
After all, Yi Lacheng didn't dare to disobey Wanyan Benjian's order, so he had no choice but to accept the order.
Wanyan Benjian quickly left the camp under the protection of his personal guards, and ran away with the five thousand fine knights and horses without stopping at all.
He seemed not to have considered at all what effect he would have if he led these five thousand cavalrymen to confront Su Yonglin.
He didn't, he ran away.
Yi Lacheng watched Wanyan run away in despair, his heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Just because I am a Khitan, should I be left here to die?
Heshi Lieliangbi can still be regarded as taking the initiative to die.
Who am I?
Forced?
Yi Lacheng was very desperate. He felt that he could no longer leave here and was facing a certain death situation.
At the critical moment, his subordinates tried their best to persuade him.
"The general and we can summon more soldiers. As long as we gather enough troops and horses, no matter how many they are? The general can leave too! Why can they leave the general to die?"
Yi Lacheng was stunned, and then asked: "What if I am accused after I go back?"
"Then we have to go back first. Besides, it's not certain who can go back! The general should make preparations immediately, bring more food, and then go back north! Just say that we have fought hard, and they have all run away. , who knows if we fought hard?"
Being very moved by his subordinate's suggestion, Yi Lacheng felt that he really couldn't die here.
There is also a lovely wife and concubine at home, countless possessions, and a luxurious life waiting for him to enjoy.
How could you die here!
Gather as many troops as possible and run!
Who wants to die for you!
So Yi Lacheng also made preparations to gather his troops and escape as soon as possible.
The three people at the highest command level all made the decision to escape and implemented it, but no one wanted to stay and organize the troops to fight bravely... Heshi Lieliangbi was brave, but he did not choose the right place and died too early.
However, this group of people did not expect that when they decided to escape, the Jin army was far from being defeated.
Many grassroots officers have found their respective units to huddle together for warmth, and took the opportunity to obtain a lot of war horses and arm them.
As long as there is a core member who dares to organize resistance and issues a resistance order, they can launch a counterattack and compete with the Liberation Army cavalry that breaks into the camp. The outcome is uncertain.
But it is a pity that the person who can issue this order is the fastest and the most courageous.
So this order, which might have turned things around, was never issued.
The remaining Jin Army, which was at a loss what to do, could only resist on a small scale, without proper command, and launched a counterattack against the Liberation Army with a large cavalry group.
Of course, this kind of unorganized and spontaneous resistance could not cause any serious blow to the organized and targeted cavalry of the Liberation Army. It was expected that it would suffer heavy losses but not bring any results.
The cavalry soldiers of the Liberation Army rushed and killed each other in the camp. The 5,000 infantry troops led by Wei Kexian rushed into the camp to expand their results and killed the resisting Jin soldiers. A large number of Jin soldiers were killed before they could gather into combat power. .
When the battle lasted for an hour, the Liberation Army broke into the northern part of the camp and killed more Jin troops who tried to resist.
From this point on, a large number of Jin troops were unable to receive command and orders, and in desperation they either fled or surrendered.
Many middle and low-level officers who had not kept up with the higher-ups rushed out of the barracks and fled with their cronies in panic. There were also many Jin soldiers who could not find their commanders. In fear, they grabbed a horse and ran away.
Many golden soldiers wanted to escape before they had time to find their horses, so they fought for other people's horses. They even fought over each other and even drew swords on each other.
On one side, the Liberation Army launched an all-out assault, while on the other side, the Jin Army fought among themselves to fight for their horses and escape.
The whole camp was in chaos and lost order.
It is self-evident what kind of virtue a feudal army that has lost order has.
Of course, the entire military camp of tens of thousands of people was not without Jin troops and generals trying to resist.
For example, Wanyan Zongheng, the commander-in-chief of the Wuyang Army, saw the corpses of the Jin Army galloping and killing the Jin army all over the field. Facing the defeat, he hated it so much that he took the initiative to attack the Liberation Army with more than a thousand troops he could gather.
He took a look at the infantry of the Liberation Army led by Wei Kexian and planned to use cavalry to bully the infantry.
As a result, when Wei Kexian saw a Jin Army cavalry coming, he immediately ordered the troops to form a formation, fired all powerful crossbows, and gave Wanyan Zongheng a head-on blow.
Wanyan Zongheng did not expect that the infantry of the Liberation Army showed no fear in the face of the cavalry attack, and directly formed a formation to counterattack. The men who were shot by a burst of crossbow arrows were turned upside down.
The remaining cavalry did not dare to directly hit the tight gun and shield formation of the Liberation Army, so they could only go around. As a result, the shield soldiers of the Liberation Army opened the big shield, and the swordsmen from behind the shields spread out and attacked actively, cutting the cavalry up and down on the horse's legs. , and soon beat the cavalry to pieces.
Wei Kexian personally led the bodyguard to attack and directly defeated Wanyan Zongheng's personal bodyguards. He wielded a big gun and shot Wanyan Zongheng on the helmet, knocking him spinning and falling. Then Wei Kexian shot him Shot to death.
This attack was defused by Wei Kexian. After killing all the golden soldiers and gathering their horses, Wei Kexian continued to lead the team forward and killed other lone golden soldiers.
Yang Zhongwu, the commander-in-chief of Weiding Army, was born as a Han Chinese in the Kingdom of Jin and had always been brave. Seeing the chaos of the army, he gathered a cavalry team and prepared to turn the tide.
As a result, before he even hit the battlefield, he was disrupted by a sudden group of frightened horses. He finally got through the group of horses and there were not many soldiers left around him.
This is where he was unlucky. Before he could gather his troops, the cavalry around him were overwhelmed by Ding Siyuan, the deputy commander of the Huben Battalion. After going back and forth, Yang Zhongwu was hit hard by a mace iron rod from someone who didn't know who it was. Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground, dead.
Seeing the chaos in the army, Wen Dunpu, the general manager of Wu Yi's army, erected a general's flag in his camp to attract more subordinates to defect to him. He tried to counterattack the Liberation Army and turn the tide, and soon gathered more than a thousand people.
But it soon attracted Su Yong.
Su Yong was worried that he could not find enough enemy troops to fight. There were scattered and fleeing soldiers everywhere. It was boring to kill two or three kittens. When he saw a general's flag here, he rushed over to fight.
The cavalry of the Liberation Army were full of momentum and extremely fierce. They frightened these Jin Army skirmishers who had just settled down and were killed before they had time to defend themselves.
Wendun Pula tried to fight back, but was overwhelmed by the rebel army. He was also rushed to the ground by the rebel army. Before he could get up, he was trampled to death by countless horse hooves, and not even a whole body was left behind.
Faced with the sudden attack by the Liberation Army, the Jin Army launched a local counterattack, but the effect was minimal and failed to reverse the overall situation.
After the top brass fled, the remaining troops gradually lost their will to resist. They either ran away or gave up resistance on a large scale and chose to surrender.
The Jin Army camp completely collapsed, and the Jin soldiers without a command completely collapsed.
Many of the Liberation Army cavalry soon discovered that there was no enemy to kill, only large numbers of prisoners who had laid down their weapons and surrendered, and groups of restless and frightened horses.
So the soldiers of the Liberation Army directly moved into the process of capturing and harvesting.
