328. Hot pursuit
The Wuhan Army of Jianwu was horrified to find that the sky was full of stones, huge stones roared, smashing hard on the ground, hitting the obstacles they carefully arranged, and even hitting the robes beside them.
The destructive power of the boulder is amazing. Everything is destroyed wherever you go, including the human body, which produces an extremely strong visual effect. The scene of flesh and blood flying is shocking.
Because of Feng Yi's dense defense strategy on the river beach, he built Wuhan to build heavy troops at the front of the river beach. This time the loss seemed particularly heavy. A large rock fell into the crowd, killing several, and thousands of stones flew over, and the position was suddenly in a mess.
The bombardment of stones happened instantly, and no one could react. The soldiers even forgot to escape. They only knew that they would hold their heads and curl up on the ground, as if this could block the attack of the huge rocks.
When the attack stopped a little, the scene on the river beach was already terrible. The soldiers seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and they didn't care about the order to guard the beach. They all stood up and fled backwards, and everyone rushed to escape, and the position suddenly became in chaos.
The army Sima led the supervisory team behind and tried to stop the soldiers from leaving. They shouted: "No more, no more big stone attacks. The other side has been projected, go back!"
As if answering his words, the rumbling sound rang again, and the second round of stone cannon attacks began again. The soldiers could not listen to their words and fled one after another, and the generals could not control them.
Feng Yi was also scared at first, and then he watched the attack with a calm face. Now he realized that the previous crappy catapult attack was actually a performance, and it was deliberately done to paralyze them.
He had never seen such a powerful trench. Legend has it that Emperor Jianshi liked to study some new things. I believe this was one of his new things. There was no doubt that this new trench was considered a super weapon at that time.
Seeing that the beachfront position was in chaos, Feng Yi did not hesitate and immediately sent people around him to send orders. The entire army retreated and retreated to Gongxian and the Suo family respectively. Because this battle could no longer be fought, the cannon battle scared the soldiers' courage and their morale was gone.
Feng Yi ordered Hou Jin to lead 10,000 elite troops to cut off the rear and try to block the enemy slightly, so as not to turn the retreat into a major defeat.
Liu Mao stood on the other side and was very satisfied with this attack. The effect was completely beyond his expectations. The super weapon appearance that he showed up in Kanto for the first time was very shocking.
Now he realized what Liu Yu said, "Can't Liu Xiu fight? If we don't compete with him, we will compete with him weapons!" With one force, more advanced weapons can instantly smooth out all the gaps in tactical level, soldier training, unfavorable terrain, etc.
Looking at the chaotic scene on the other side, he ordered the entire army to speed up the crossing of the river.
As early as when the cannon battle began, Wang Hu and Mu Hong led the Yulin army to get off the ship and start crossing the river. When the two rounds of cannon attacks were over, the two armies had arrived at the center of the river.
At this time, there were no organized enemy troops on the river beach, and the Han army had almost no war damage during the crossing of the river. The scene of thousands of crossbows being launched at once did not exist. The entire army successfully landed on the shore, quickly formed a formation, and attacked forward.
The enemy troops who had not had time to retreat became their targets for pursuit. The war was one-sided from the beginning and was facing the end before the battle was even over. The thought that the landing of the beach turned into a shore pursuit.
Wang Hu and Mu Hong have never fought such an easy battle, and there is no need to fight head-on, because the enemy is simply a group of defeated troops.
The two of them made a quick decision, no matter what river bank, they rushed forward, chased and chased, killed and injured the enemy, defeated the enemy, and even annihilated the enemy.
They led their troops out for several miles, and the traitorous general Hou Jin led 10,000 troops to stop them and fight against the Yulin Army. Hou Jin led the elite Yingchuan troops and had strong combat effectiveness. However, he was still at a disadvantage in the face of the sharp attacks of Wang Hu and Mu Hong's army.
Wang Hu and Mu Hong's army had a total of 6,000 people, both elite troops of the Yulin Army, and were originally strong troops. Moreover, they used the momentum of victory and had reinforcements later, and their morale was very strong. The morale of Hou's army was not a little bit worse.
Hou Jin's army only blocked him for less than an hour and then hurriedly lost. Wang Hu and Mu Hong led their troops to chase him reluctantly. Hou Jin turned around and fought again, but was still defeated and continued to retreat.
Wang Hu is a relatively stable type, but Mu Hong is very anxious. Even though Wang Hu suggests to stop temporarily and wait for the army behind, Mu Hong said: "You are waiting here, I will chase the enemy."
Wang Hu was worried that he had no choice but to follow Hou Jin's butt and kill all the way to the city of the Liu family.
It was not until he rushed into the county town of the Sui family and closed the city gate that Hou Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and counted the troops, only half of the 10,000 people were left.
Feng Yi was in charge of Gong County, and Hou Jin defended the Huo family and slowly gathered his troops. This battle was really bad. Feng Yi, the general who was always victorious, had never been defeated so miserably.
Feng Yi is one of the most capable generals under Liu Xiu. If he fights according to normal, even if the number of people is at a disadvantage, he may not lose to Liu Mao’s 100,000 troops. However, the emergence of the serial thunderbolt chariot caused Feng Yi’s army to collapse instantly. All defense lines and tactics disappeared, and only the rumbling sound of cannons shattered Feng Yi’s ambitions.
Feng Yi was in Gong County and collected more than 20,000 defeated soldiers. There was still food and grass in the city that could be held. But three days later, Liu Mao's army followed. Feng Yi stood at the top of the city and looked at it. The first thing that caught his eye was hundreds of chain thunderbolt chariots under the city.
Feng Yi turned around and went down the city and immediately ordered to withdraw from Gong County from the east gate and retreat directly to Yingchuan County while the enemy had not yet encircled.
After a few days of rest, the soldiers who had slowed down set off again. When they walked out of the east gate, there was a rumbling sound of cannons coming from the west gate.
Thanks to his fast walking, the walls of Gong County were blown open a gap after being pushed up a few times. Soldiers climbed up the ladder, rushed into the city, opened the city gate, and welcomed the army into the city. Liu Mao's army captured Gong County without bloodshed.
Hou Jin was not as lucky as Feng Yi. He received the order from Feng Yi to retreat and led more than 10,000 people in the city to retreat, but was chased by Mu Hong and Wang Hu for a while, two thousand people were killed and injured. The retreat turned into a defeat and ran straight to the mountainous area at the junction of Yingchuan counties in Henan Province. Feng Yizheng led his army to respond there, blocking Wang Hu and Mu Hong, and then he was taken over.
Feng Yi immediately led his army to rebuild a defense line among the mountains to prevent the enemy from going straight to Yingchuan. If he could not defend here, the entire Yingchuan County would probably not be able to be protected.
