On the chariot, Feng Army coach Zhao Tianyi no longer needs to think too much. They have been defeated and there is no room for maneuver. This battle will eventually end with their disastrous defeat. Now besides regretting that he did not listen to Tang Jinjian's opinion earlier, the only thing he can do is The goal is to try to reduce one's own casualties.
"The whole army retreats eastward." No longer thinking about where the Star Army's cavalry came from, he gave the order and Zhao Tianyi directly controlled the chariot to go east. Then, there was a rapid sound of gongs next to the chariot. It is a signal for withdrawal.
Some Feng Army generals who still wanted to hold on heard the evacuation signal and immediately shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "The entire army retreats."
Then when the order to withdraw completely spread, the tens of thousands of Feng troops lost their fighting spirit in an instant, and they all just ran for their lives in panic. Zhao Tianyi took a chariot to open the way in front, and those Feng troops who were not surrounded quickly followed the chariot. After evacuating, only the heavily encircled Feng Army was still in a helpless situation. Almost no one could break through the defense line set by the Star Army cavalry.
Seeing that Feng Jun chose to withdraw, the 20,000 cavalrymen immediately divided into several groups and pursued them, killing all the Feng Jun who were just trying to escape.
In the panic, Feng Jun became even more embarrassed. The injured soldiers were easily hit by others and then had no chance to get up. A slight delay for Feng Jun behind would mean death.
But no matter how fast they ran, they still couldn't outrun the cavalry on galloping horses. The massacre continued. The Feng Army, who had fled in despair, had no ability to resist in the face of the menacing Star Army. On the contrary, the Star Army cavalry performed well one by one. They were extremely brave, as if they were keen on killing people, and the number of Feng soldiers who died in their hands continued to increase.
In a short time, the main force of the Feng Army had been chased a mile away from the battlefield. Regardless of the situation there, the Feng Army who had been left on the battlefield had their way of survival cut off. Many people screamed in despair. , but this did not make the Star Army stop killing. In the end, many Feng Army generals committed suicide in shame and anger, and some chose to surrender to the Star Army in order to survive.
Taking the lead from those generals, all the Phoenix troops followed suit, spontaneously laying down their weapons one by one, then raising their hands and shouting to the Star troops: "We surrender."
This was the first time for many star troops to encounter this situation. Seeing that Feng Jun did not dare to fight them anymore, they even admitted defeat to them in person. For a while, many people did not know what to do and could only wait for instructions from the generals above.
They also did not expect that the other party would choose to surrender. Seeing the enemy generals who were equal in strength throw away their weapons in front of them, and bowed their heads to them in humiliation, the star army generals only felt that the enemy generals were humble and unbearable, even if they had the intention to kill those enemy generals. Even if he was killed by a horse, it would be difficult for them to do so.
Of course, there are some exceptions. Those star troops who had suffered losses when confronting Feng Jun before. After the opponent chose to surrender, in order to retaliate against Feng Jun, those people directly killed Feng Jun who gave up resistance. Of course, this situation does not In most places, Feng Jun who chose to surrender could survive.
Lan Wu on the chariot was not surprised at all when he discovered the special situation on the battlefield. Feng Jun, who failed to evacuate in time, was forced to die or surrender. Now Feng Jun's choice to surrender is just one of the situations he expected. , although it is troublesome to control these surrendered soldiers, he does not object to the enemy's surrender.
"Marshal, the trapped Feng troops have collectively surrendered to us. What are we going to do with them?" Not long after, Lan Xu and some generals rode to the chariot and asked Lan Wu for instructions.
"Disarm them first, don't massacre them at will." Too many people have died in this battle. The Star Army has won a complete victory. There is no need to kill those surrendered soldiers. With a little kindness, Lan Wu directly Make a decision: "Take them all to an open area and guard them."
"Yes," Lan Wu's answer was the highest military order. Lan Xu and other generals agreed one after another. Although they did not understand why Lan Wu made such a decision, and even thought that it would be easiest to kill all the Feng troops, they did not Lan Wu's decision was not questioned.
"Lan Xu, how many people can you take to convey my instructions to all the cavalry to retreat immediately? There is no need to rush forward for the sake of success." Calculating that the time was almost up, Lan Wu felt that under the pursuit of more than 20,000 cavalry, the main force of the Feng Army The team should have suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining people may have fled into the forest area to the east. The terrain in the forest area is complicated, and there is no need to pursue them just in case.
"Marshal, the Feng army has been defeated. Why don't we keep chasing it to the end?" Lan Ze on the side thought it was inappropriate for Lan Wu to surrender the soldiers without killing them. Now he couldn't figure out why Lan Wu wanted to withdraw his troops. In his opinion, Xing It would be great if the army could capture the enemy coach in one fell swoop.
Lan Ze's problem is also a problem for other generals. Lan Xu and the generals who have not left yet want to hear Lan Wu's explanation.
"The main force of the Feng Army still has tens of thousands of people. Although it is weak, the number of our army is limited. If the Feng Army fights back, our army will suffer casualties." Lan Wu's expression softened and he continued: "There is still a field ten miles ahead. The forest area, if my guess is correct, the Feng Army will definitely flee to the forest area, and the forest is not suitable for cavalry combat."
"In this case, everything depends on the marshal," Lan Wu's explanation was reasonable and well-founded. Lan Ze and other star army generals could understand it better. After learning about Lan Wu's considerations, Lan Ze directly expressed his approval of Lan Wu's decision.
"General Lan, hurry up and execute the military order," Lan Wu nodded slightly to the supervisor. Lan Wu's mind turned to chasing the enemy. The cavalry was their main combat force and there was no room for error.
"Yes," Lan Xu, who also heard Lan Wu's explanation, no longer had any doubts. After agreeing, he immediately led several other generals to chase their cavalry.
"Marshal, do you want to clear the battlefield immediately?" After Lan Xu and others left, the remaining generals asked Lan Wu for instructions.
"We will all act in accordance with my commander's previous instructions." Withdrawing his gaze from Lan Xu and others, Lan Wu calmly said to the generals in front of him: "General Li, please immediately send the news of our army's victory back to the city gate, and then Then allocate some infantry to clear the battlefield, and the rest will escort the surrendered infantry to the open area on the left side of the camp."
"Yes," facing Lan Wu's instructions, all the generals accepted the order one after another. Then, except for the general named Li who returned to the city to mobilize troops, the other generals returned to their original positions to execute Lan Wu's military orders.
The battle here is all over. On the chariot, Lan Wu's only worry is about the cavalry. If there is no problem in letting his direct subordinates in Yanguan retreat, he is afraid that there will be problems with the reinforcements. Lan Wu is worried about those cavalry. A man is so greedy for success that his military orders cannot be carried out immediately.
At the same time, Lu Yunyou stood between the Gao Li brothers on the battlefield. From the defeat of the Feng army to the surrender of all the remaining troops, Lu Yunyou had a complete view of the changes in the situation on the battlefield.
Those defeated Feng Jun were too pitiful. Their panic when escaping was even worse than that of the bandits who were frightened by him. From throwing away weapons to taking off their armor, they were all just trying to survive. In the final analysis , those Fengjun are all ordinary people in nature, there is nothing special about them.
In addition, some of the Feng Army who surrendered to them were killed by some ferocious Star Army. The remaining people were terrified, deeply afraid that the Star Army would kill them again. Fortunately, Lan Wu's military order came in time, and those Star Army The army had stopped killing, otherwise Lu Yunyou would not have been able to watch the Star Army massacre these Feng soldiers who had given up resistance.
Even though they had a hostile relationship with Feng Jun, Lu Yunyou had already sympathized with the situation of those Feng Jun at this moment. A feeling of compassion and compassion arose spontaneously, and then turned into a cynical will. He didn't know if it was because of the strong stimulation he had just received. He is now emotionally unstable.
It wasn't until his eyes stopped on some of the surrounding Star Army that Lu Yunyou's excited mood eased, and then became depressed again. Standing among many enthusiastic Star Army, he just felt that he was too ordinary, and he was different from the surrounding ones. The environment is too inappropriate.
But he has no status at all in the military camp, and everything is not decided by him. If he had known that the current situation would happen when he first left the Ancient Mountains, then he would rather fight those star troops than go through it. Later on, but now everything is a foregone conclusion, he only hopes that Lan Wu can deal with those Fengjun mercifully.
After the surrender, the Feng Army were just ordinary people. Unarmed, they had lost most of their combat power and had no ability to fight against the Star Army. In the final analysis, the two sides just had different positions. The reason for this battle was only related to It is related to the ancient Yuan Dynasty. To end the conflict between the two countries, we need to start from the root cause, but the ancient Yuan Dynasty is too far away from here.
After trying to calm down, Lu Yunyou stopped thinking about those irrelevant questions and looked at himself. There were bloodstains all over his body, but there were no injuries.
