Sweep the World

A rout of an army means a loss of order. The extremely flustered routs don't care where they are in front of them. They are driven by fear and run around with their heads and minds.

The Han army, which was 20 miles west of the main battlefield, didn’t have much time to find a terrain with an absolute advantage to arrange it. In fact, halfway through the march, they suddenly noticed a large number of enemy troops coming from the direction of the main battlefield. , Temporarily arranged to block the West Bank.

From the direction of the main battlefield, the anti-Han axis coalition forces did not seem to have any formation at all, that is, the kind that appeared first in twos and threes, and then a large number of mountains and plains appeared, and the Han army judged the opponent to be a broken army in an instant.

This roundabout Han army really didn't expect that the battle on the main battlefield would have results so quickly. For a while, it was surprised by the sudden appearance of the defeated soldiers.

If a large group of enemy troops appeared together, even if the Han army were able to intercept them, it would definitely not have time to start the formation, and could only intercept a small part of the defeated troops behind.

After the Han army deployed its formation, it crossed a battle line about two kilometers in length. In fact, it was impossible to intercept all the ruined troops. After all, the enemy ruined troops were running across the mountains and plains, instead of rushing to the same position.

What Erbata saw was that the defeated troops running to the interception line organized by the Han army were swept one by one by the firearms of the Han army. The defeated soldiers who did not run from the interception line of the Han army only encountered the Han army. The chase of the small group of cavalry.

"Let's get around!"

Erbata believed that he chose to bypass it because he was not afraid, so the current state is not suitable for continuing the fight.

The collapsed soldiers that appeared before were basically unorganized. The appearance of Erbata with this still-organized Persian army was actually very conspicuous, and it was immediately discovered by the Han army.

"Move a cavalry." Yang Rui could see from the telescope that the Persian cavalry remained organized: "Try to disperse it."

Soon trumpeters sounded their horns, and the cavalry of the Han army who had been scattered and chasing the defeated enemy army, the squad and the squad joined together to form a brigade, and it was easy to see the Persian cavalry galloping to the side of the battlefield.

Yang Rui had only two thousand cavalry on hand, mobilizing a tune to fight the organized Persian cavalry, in fact, the biggest intention was a means of insurance.

Most of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces are in a state of collapse, and there is an enemy force that still maintains order. If this organized enemy force is allowed to operate, it will pose a great threat.

Of course, Erbata found that the cavalry of the Han army was catching up with his unit, an unprecedented suffocation filled his heart. He kept scolding in his heart, and he had to run away regardless of the fact that the Han army did not kill the rout soldiers who were easy to kill, but stared at him.

Even if the Persian cavalry maintained their organization strength, they still caused trouble even if they did not rush into the interception line of the Han army. First of all, their detours drove a large number of anti-Han axis coalition forces to run sideways.

As the number of anti-Han axis coalition forces rushing towards the Han army's interception line decreases, the number of anti-Han axis coalition forces that the Han army has eliminated will naturally decrease.

The number of Han soldiers who turned around was worth 10,000, with 5,000 riflemen and 2,000 cavalry as the main force, and the remaining 3,000 soldiers with cold weapons on foot.

The Han army, with only 10,000, had to intercept the defeated troops of the anti-Han axis coalition army, and had a cavalry to pursue the organized Persian cavalry.

The terrain on this side is flat, and it is not ideal at all. Basically, it belongs to how much it can intercept and how much it can kill. It is a battlefield of luck.

Yang Rui knew two things at the same time.

The first point is to block only one position so that the enemy army will not run out of the way. It is actually a sensible approach. If the enemy army has no place to escape, it is likely to force them to desperately.

The second point is that their strength is too small, and the enemy troops seem to be rumbled, and there will be enemy troops running over. It is very ideal to be able to stabilize the front line and intercept them. Pulling the interception line longer and thinner, or even dividing the troops to block it, might fold the ten thousand troops in.

A very strange scene appeared on this battlefield. The Han army set up interception lines to block, and there were constantly routs hitting them and becoming corpses. The rest of the anti-Han axis coalition routs endured the end of the Han cavalry. For killing, being killed, and fleeing, no one cares about who looks like.

Approaching the evening, a cavalry unit came first on the main battlefield, and the officer leading the group informed Yang Rui of the situation on the main battlefield, and then this unit joined in the pursuit of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces.

Even if it was an hour or two, the enemy soldiers who had been defeated in the direction of the main battlefield were still not cut off. They didn't know if they hadn't seen the corpse and the Han army in front of them.

"There are almost piles of corpses on this side."

"They are still climbing the corpse mountain, coming up to let us kill."

"This is the defeat."

If a person is occupied by the idea of ​​running away, his brain will indeed become silly, without his usual reason, and ignore some stupid actions that should have been avoided at first sight.

In front of the Han army's interception line, a row of piles of corpses was almost becoming a wall of flesh and blood, but there were still soldiers crawling upwards with distorted faces, some of them were hit by bullets and turned into corpse walls as soon as they appeared. Some of them were shot down a short distance from the corpse wall, and it didn't take long for them to become a pile of new corpses on top of each other.

Even when night fell, the defeated anti-Han Axis coalition forces that had collapsed on the main battlefield were still not cut off, but the number was much smaller than during the day.

It wasn't until midnight when the defeated anti-Han Axis coalition forces were broken in twos and threes. The exhausted Han soldiers found that the number of new broken soldiers had dropped sharply, and they didn't know whether to relax or be disappointed.

"Do you have any new instructions?"

"Lieutenant back to the school, there is no new order from the guardian."

Yang Rui was still rather disappointed. They didn't have time to rush to the established position. They stopped temporarily to block, and failed to bring out the greatest result of this roundabout.

Their blocking on this side is equivalent to the fact that the enemy troops who have run across this "line" can at least reach the third line of defense established by the anti-Han axis coalition forces. However, because they blocked the routs, they couldn't make the end of the enemy rout and penetrate into the enemy's third line of defense. They failed to complete the set marching goals and did not achieve the best results.

It was about early in the morning when Li Kuang brought up the follow-up troops.

That was a force of 20,000 people. The riflemen on the main battlefield were left on the Ponti defensive line on the Penchi River, replaced by new troops transferred from the rear.

Yang Rui did not lead the army to continue westward, but stopped in place and waited for the follow-up troops to arrive.

"The remaining enemy army is about 15,000." Yang Rui watched the entire process of blocking the enemy's rout, and the number that was eliminated visually was that: "Failed to complete the plan, please **** the crime."

Li Kuang already knew the situation here, and when he faced Yang Rui's plea, he just nodded. He didn't get angry and didn't say anything. Whether Yang Rui was guilty or not would naturally have a result in the result of the battle.

"So in this battle, the enemy army was wiped out by around 70,000?" Song Ping calculated the results of the battle with the main battlefield. He glanced at Yang Rui, who was full of guilt, and then at Li Kuang, who had a calm face, and said with a smile: "You can destroy 70,000 enemy troops in one day, and the results are brilliant!"

In fact, no more than 20,000 people actually died in the Han army. The enemy army killed the most people in the chaos. Not only was the situation on the main battlefield, but the situation on the interception line was the same.

Therefore, once an army collapses, even if the enemy army of the warring party does not do anything, the collapsed army will die many people.

Li Kuang asked, "How many enemy soldiers did Chang Shi think were fleeing to the enemy's third line of defense?"

"The enemy troops are fleeing all over the mountains and plains. After many enemy soldiers have fled, they will not run back to rebuild because of the fear of fighting with us." Song Ping also said common sense: "It is more than two or three tenths to be able to go back. Yes. The enemy has deployed 50,000 defenders on the third line of defense, plus the routs that ran past, should it be between eighty and ninety thousand?"

Li Kuang said lightly: "It's a pity..."

Yang Rui lowered his head, regret and embarrassment on his face.

Song Ping was guessing what Li Kuang meant.

On the next day, the Han army, who had not had much rest, moved out after meeting with the 30,000 people.

When they were still marching, the scouts who had set off earlier sent back information that the enemy's third line of defense was empty.

It took about two months. I don’t know how much money and manpower it took to build the defense line. It was mainly composed of a city wall with a length of about 2,500 meters. Some sections of the city wall were also built with buildings similar to Wengcheng. There are perfect fortifications in front of the city wall, such as trenches, earthen walls, fence walls, horse-rejecting belts, pits, etc.

Garrisoning this line of defense is mainly dominated by the vassal races of the Romans and Persians, with a small number of Romans and Persians, and some other races.

It was only at night that they knew that their 200,000-plus front troops had been defeated, and it was a staggering fiasco. And the whole process from the attack of the Han army to the disastrous defeat of your own army only took less than six hours?

It was also at night that the soldiers in front of the army fled and brought some specious news. No one could explain the development of the battle clearly, but only told some unsophisticated information according to their own impressions.

For example, how many people rushed to the Han army, even thousands of people were killed or injured before the Han army even touched a piece of hair.

Another example is that a solid city wall becomes ashes after an explosion, and there will always be shells falling from the sky, even if it is not safe to hide behind.

Too many terrifying descriptions of the Han army continued to emerge from the mouths of the ruined soldiers, and the fear spread, especially when the Persian vassal races learned that the Persian army ahead was likely to be wiped out, and they immediately emptied it. Up.

His master confronted the Han army and was wiped out in less than a day? How long can he sustain this dog-legged person to fight the Han army?

The most shocking news is that the Han army only dispatched 10,000 people, only 10,000 people!

The 10,000 Han army was able to defeat the 200,000 coalition forces with an absolutely powerful advantage. It also happened that the Romans and Persians sent their own powerful troops to almost all be wiped out, and the time-consuming and strenuous construction of the city wall did not even hold up for half an hour.

The more news the soldiers uttered, and the soldiers who did not participate in the battle on the front line, their fear increased by one point.

I don’t know if the troops flee again, or if the garrison on the third line of defense, which was filled with fear, fled first, until someone spotted the Han army on the line. Even though the Han army was only a five-man squad, it was. It caused another wave of escape.

Li Kuang came to the seemingly empty line of defense, and out of caution, he first sent a team to explore.

After a while of exploration, only a few enemy soldiers who had not had time to run clean because of the removal of materials were found. After a while of interrogation, they learned the reason why the enemy on the line of defense had not fleeed.

"The so-called coalition forces have only seven or eighty thousand regular Persian troops and five thousand Roman legions. Most of them are people from small tribes and tribes." Li Kuang stood on the wall and issued his own evaluation: "We I know what the people of the small country are like, and I know what the people of the small tribes and tribes look like..."

There are no strong men in a small country, and no heroes in the ignorant. This is the status quo.

"They pulled up so many allies, I'm afraid they would become a burden to drag themselves." Song Ping said with emotion: "Our ancestors knew that self-improvement is really strong, and it has never been a war. The victory or defeat rests on the so-called allies."

In fact, Zhu Xia really understood that allies were unreliable because there were so many examples of the Warring States. At that time, the six countries repeatedly formed alliances, but not only did they have no alternative to Qin, but there was a lot of internal troubles, and they repeatedly proved that the alliance can only be achieved. One big one drives all the younger brothers, as long as there are two countries with similar strengths in that alliance, the so-called alliance is more of a drag.

Li Kuang looked at Song Ping and said: "Those small nations and small tribes will be handed over to you from now on~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Song Ping smiled and nodded. He knows what he should do next, and believes that he will also achieve good results. Results.

The reason why those small countries and tribes were drawn into the so-called anti-Han axis was that the Han Empire did not hide its hegemony, and secondly, it was under the strong deterrence of Rome and Persia.

Li Kuang has discovered that he has not concealed the disadvantages of hegemony, which is also an important reason why the Romans and Persians can easily pull up such a large group of allies.

Although the Han Empire didn't take those small countries and tribes into view, it might be able to avoid them from siding with the Persians and Romans. Naturally, they should be avoided.

"This time, the Duhu led the army of 10,000 and defeated the 200,000 coalition army, and the news will soon spread throughout the world." Song Ping is not complimenting Li Kuang, it is not a small credit to compliment him. He is plausible with facts: "The prestige of the big man is even more prestigious. People in these small countries are bound to be afraid of the big man being liquidated, and they all want to try to separate their relations with Persia and Rome..."

The Han Empire does not need allies, but it is not so stupid that it does not understand that weakening the enemy is strengthening itself. It has no plans to gather those small countries, but it is still very happy that those small countries turn around to find the troubles of the Persians and Romans.
