Rebirth God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1688: Defeat
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Baima Yicong broke out into a more powerful battle, and broke through the Dunhuang cavalry in less than half an hour.
After seeing this scene, the Dunhuang cavalry did not gather around Dong Wu, but fled away on horseback. They were already terrified by Baima Yicong.
After a cavalry on the battlefield is defeated, they often choose not to move closer to the Chinese army, but to flee. This is also human nature. What can they do after they have lost their fighting spirit and return to the Chinese army? Unless it is the elite among the cavalry.
Dunhuang's cavalry has experienced many battles, but in terms of overall strength, they are far inferior to Baima Yicong, especially since Dunhuang's cavalry has no stirrups to help them. For generations, it is inevitable to flee in a hurry. Even after these cavalry fled back to the city, they were more proclaiming how brave the enemy's cavalry was, and they could not be reused on the battlefield.
After the cavalry was defeated, Dong Wu felt the urgency of the matter.
In the confrontation of infantry, Dong Wu had two thousand infantry in his hands, while the vanguard army of the surprise attack had a thousand infantry. After the two sides fought, it turned out to be evenly matched.
"Retreat!" Dong Wu reluctantly gave the order to retreat. If he did not withdraw, he would face even more severe losses. These large armies were Dunhuang's last support. Once lost, it would be fatal to Dunhuang.
Dong Wu led the soldiers and fled into the city in embarrassment, but Zhao Yun did not intend to let Dong Wu go so easily. He led the white horse and Yi Cong, and chased to the bottom of the city. Wu was able to enter the city.
On the way back to the camp, Zhao Yun led the troops to gather the Dunhuang soldiers who had been defeated in the battle just now, and took more than 500 prisoners.
This was a great victory in the confrontation with the Dunhuang defenders. The Dunhuang defenders experienced such a disastrous defeat when they were superior in numbers. The cavalry in the city were even defeated during the confrontation.
After escaping into the city, Dong Wucai breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted why he led the troops to attack Zhao Yun. Otherwise, there were still a thousand cavalry in the army at this time, and these thousand cavalry were the biggest support of the defenders.
The reason why Dong Zhuo went out to fight had a lot to do with observing the enemy's situation during the day. He found that although Baima Yicong was majestic, his formation was somewhat chaotic. He was obviously not the most elite soldier in the enemy's army. Improving the morale of the defenders can also stabilize his position in the army.
After counting the soldiers and horses, Dong Wu's mood became even more depressed. When he went out to battle, there were a thousand cavalrymen and two thousand infantrymen, but now there are only more than two hundred cavalrymen returning to the city. , there were only a thousand pawns left.
A surprise attack, originally with great expectations, unexpectedly lost most of the troops.
After these results spread to the army, the shock of the lieutenant soldiers can be imagined. Since Chen Ying took charge of Dunhuang until now, the Dunhuang army has never experienced such a heavy loss, especially the thousands of cavalry. Having made contributions many times, when Chen Ying was here, he attached great importance to the cavalry. After all, they were the most powerful force in Dunhuang City, and these cavalry were all composed of elite soldiers selected from the army.
This disastrous defeat made many generals lose their trust in Dong Wu and even have more doubts. At this time, they also remembered Dong Wu's mention of Chen Ying's defection to King Jin.
Some generals suddenly felt that it was a wise move to seek refuge with the King of Jin at such a time. The King of Jin is the great general of the Han Dynasty and has the power to mobilize the world's soldiers and horses. The defenders of Dunhuang are Lu Bu's subordinates in name. As it should be, this also led to their dissatisfaction with Dong Wu, but now Dong Wu still has some prestige in the city, so they naturally dare not oppose Dong Wu after this.
After Zhao Lu learned about the disastrous defeat of the army, his complexion changed drastically. The infantry lost a thousand people. He didn't feel anything, but the cavalry lost more than 700 people, which made him a little restless.
In order to form these cavalry at the beginning, it cost a lot of money. Just the horses equipped with the cavalry required a lot of money. Although these horses were purchased at low prices from the countries of the Western Regions, the cavalry was consumed in daily training. , which is several times that of infantry, maintaining a thousand cavalry in the army is a great consumption.
However, in this battle, the cavalry in the army suffered such serious losses.
Dong Wu said with a gloomy expression: "This general fell into the trick of the enemy. Otherwise, how could he be defeated like this?"
Then Dong Wu described the situation of the battle between the two sides in detail.
Zhao Ludao: "The soldiers under King Jin's tent are indeed brave. There are still six thousand troops. If we defend, even if King Jin has 20,000 troops, it is impossible to easily break through Dunhuang."
Things have come to this point, and after the two sides start a war, it means that there is no chance for them to relax with Lu Bu.
Dong Wudao: "That's right."
The situation in the city became more serious. Apparently, Dong Wu also realized that the generals in the army might be somewhat dissatisfied with him. The prevention and control of the generals in the army was more stringent, and the detailed operations in the city were strictly checked. For a while, the soldiers and people in the city were panicked.
As the county seat of Dunhuang County, Dunhuang has 50,000 people in the city. When the Han Dynasty was strong, it was not uncommon for a county to have 50,000 people. In Liangzhou, it was a great city. At this time, even some important cities in Liangzhou have a certain gap compared with Dunhuang in terms of the number of people. Liangzhou has experienced too many wars, and how many people buried their bones because of the wars. Once opened, it is not something ordinary people can control.
Soldiers in the army will not consider the feelings of the people during the war. What they need is victory and the life and death of the people. At that time, no one cares about them. If you find a place to settle down, if you are unlucky, you will only become a plaything in the hands of the enemy.
Under the war, the people will only become poorer and poorer. Every time they leave their hometown, it means that they will lose a lot of things.
The captives of the Dunhuang army gathered together for Zhao Yun. Looking at the more than 500 prisoners of the Dunhuang army in front of him, Zhao Yun made up his mind. Judging from the news from the city, the generals in the army in the city are very important to Dong Wu. There were some conflicts, and last night's surprise attack made Dong Wu's face even more embarrassing. If these soldiers can be released back and let them promote the benevolence of their own army in the army, maybe it will have a very good effect.
