At this time, large dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky and blocked the sun. A strong wind blew on the ground, blowing away the noisy and flying dust on the battlefield.
The battlefield that had been blurred under the flying dust suddenly became clear, and Liu Yu was instantly stunned by the sight that flashed before his eyes.
In the distance, soldiers on the left wing of the Jin army were like a tide, running frantically from the north side of the Jin army's formation toward the south and west sides.
Liu Yu could already see at this time that the original tight left wing of the Qingzhou Jin Army no longer existed. Under the attack of 10,000 Donglai troops, the Jin army on the left wing had completely collapsed, and a large number of Jin army soldiers fled towards the rear.
The panic-stricken troops disrupted the friendly forces behind them. Under successive attacks, the Jin army's central army was completely panicked and shaken.
"The enemy's left wing is finished!" Panting, Dong Ping finally caught up with Liu Yu. He thrust the spear in his hand into the ground and gasped.
"This battle will be won soon." Liu Yu said excitedly.
As soon as he stopped, he saw hundreds of Donglai Army soldiers coming behind him. These people also saw the chaos caused by the friendly forces on the north side against the enemy, and everyone's faces flushed with excitement.
Liu Yu immediately ordered the soldiers of the Donglai Army to reorganize and take a short rest to regain their strength in preparation for the attack of the Donglai Army on the north side.
These Dongnai Army soldiers, who were almost desperate and exhausted, were inspired by the prospect of a great victory and burst out with new fighting spirit and strength.
The enemy who besieged Liu Yu and his companions just now was the right wing of the Jin army. Originally, the Jin army on the right wing was ordered to use all their strength to wipe out Liu Yu and his group, who were stubbornly resisting.
However, the Jin army on the left soon collapsed, and even the central army was shocked and shaken.
At this time, Fenwei General Sima Ji, who was in charge of commanding the right wing of the Jin army, no longer bothered to tangle with Liu Yu, the minority shareholder at the ferry, and decisively ordered the Jin army on the right to retreat and form an array facing the north to resist The Dongnai Army is raging on the north side.
Fenwei General Sima Ji thought of using his right wing to attack northward to resist the Donglai Army's offensive on the north side and buy time for the Chinese army to gather and regroup.
But Sima Ji greatly overestimated the strength and willpower of the friendly forces.
While Sima Ji's right-wing Jin army was still in formation, the main generals of the Chinese army, Sima Lue and Liu Tun, had already discovered that under the fierce attack of the Donglai army on the north side, the completely crazy troops had begun to attack the Jin army. The formation of the Chinese army.
Liu Tun looked at the surging troops coming from the north and cursed anxiously in his heart. These idiots like pigs and dogs did not run to both sides when they failed, but ran back in a daze.
Liu Tun anxiously called his soldiers and wanted to give an order to the Chinese army, asking them to kill any broken troops on the left who dared to attack the Chinese army.
At this moment, suddenly the Donglai bandits on the north side burst out with a huge cheer. Liu Tun looked up and found that Sun Lin, who had been resisting tenaciously, was the leader of the left-wing Jin army. His flag was unknown. Time has disappeared into the vast chaos of the army.
In the distance, a tall Donglai bandit was riding on a horse, holding a spear high in his hand with a round head stuck on the tip of the spear. He kept galloping and shouting at the junction of the two armies.
"Oh, it's General Zhenwu. Sun Boxiang died at the hands of thieves!"
An officer next to Liu Tun shouted in panic. His eyesight was particularly good, and he had clearly seen that the owner of the head stuck on the tip of the spear was General Zhenwu Sun Lin, the commander of the left wing of the Jin army.
General Zhenwu Sun Lin was a regular general who had followed Liu Tun for many years, and was considered the most brave man in the Jin army in Qingzhou. Now Sun Lin was beheaded by the Donglai bandits, which caused great harm to the remaining Jin army generals. impact.
The officers and soldiers in the front row of the Jin army also saw the head of General Zhenwu hanging high, and everyone's morale fell to the bottom.
Liu Tun's order to kill the defeated troops indiscriminately had not even reached the front of the Chinese army.
The Jin army's central army collapsed under the impact of the rout and the assault of Donglai army.
These Chinese soldiers, like the left-wing soldiers, had no intention of resisting at all. They just wanted to escape from the vicious Donglai bandits behind them.
It was that simple, and a collapse of tens of thousands began.
These Qingzhou Jin troops have lived a stable life for too long. They are good farmers who pay grain and taxes, but if they are expected to become strong-willed warriors overnight, they can only become the source of disaster.
Tens of thousands of crumbling Jin troops let out noisy screams, like densely packed wheat fields swept by strong winds from north to south.
The Jin army is in the middle and rear formation.
"Liu Tun, what should we do? What should we do?"
Sima Lue, the king of Gaomi, watched in horror as tens of thousands of people rushed towards him, and even shouted out Liu Tun's name in panic.
Liu Tun has also fallen into fear and despair. He knows that facing the current raging wave of military defeat, even if Bai Qi and Han Xin are reincarnated, there is no way to remedy it.
The only way now is to turn around and run away, the faster the better, as many people as you can escape.
"Your Highness, this cannot be done for nothing. I will personally lead the cavalry to escort Your Highness out of danger."
Liu Tun said without any hesitation.
Soon, Sima Lue and Liu Tun led more than a hundred cavalry and fled towards the rear.
Those Jin officers and soldiers who were more tenacious and still stood firm against each other were shocked to find that the banners of the general and King Gaomi were moving away to the rear at a speed of scud.
Everyone understood that the general had abandoned his army and fled. No one was willing to continue to resist, so they all dispersed and fled for their lives.
Before the Jin army's right wing commander, Sima Ji, had time to complete his formation, he discovered that the Chinese army he planned to desperately support had been abandoned by the commander-in-chief Liu Tun and Gaomi King Sima Lue.
"Sima Luo is a pig and a dog! Shameless!"
Sima Ji cursed Sima Lue, the king of Gaomi, who was from the same clan as the Sima family in Wen County.
In Sima Ji's opinion, if King Sima Luo of Gaomi did not abandon his army and flee, but instead resisted tenaciously with his own elite troops, when Sima Ji's right-wing Jin army arrived, he would still have an advantage over these Donglai thieves, and there would still be a huge advantage. It is possible to cull the rebel army.
But now the situation is over, the central army and the left wing have been completely defeated, and thousands of people on his right wing are also panicked, and there is no hope of turning defeat into victory.
Sima Ji just wanted to bring the Jin army on the right out of danger as much as possible. Then he ordered the entire army, and the rear team changed to the front team and began to retreat south. Sima Ji led more than a hundred cavalry to the rear in person. The Jin officers and soldiers on the right wing saw The general did not take the lead in escaping but cut off the rear in person. The originally panicked heart calmed down a little, and the retreat did not turn into a mutual trampling and rout.
There was nothing wrong with Sima Ji's actions, and it was even very possible that he could escape before Liu Bogen and Wang Mi's Donglai Army arrived.
However, Fenwei General Sima Ji made a fatal mistake.
He forgot about Liu Yu's hundreds of people not far away, or in other words, he didn't care about these remaining Donglai thieves, thinking that they were completely unable to counterattack him.
On the battlefield, a single oversight can be fatal.
