Chapter 951 Doomed
Yongren city head.
Bai Qi saw all of Wang Meng's adjustments to the coalition forces.
How rare is this trick? Bai Qi immediately gave orders: "Zhao Puonu!"
"The end is here!"
"Gather a battle-ready army immediately, assemble near the south gate, and wait for the military order!"
"promise!"
Zhao Puonu took the order and left.
After a great battle, Long Xiang's army also lost more than 6,000 people. Fortunately, the enemy has completely stopped attacking the city. Except for one army left to guard the southern city wall, the rest of the troops were collected by Zhao Puonu. More than ten thousand people.
Bai Qi then sent the order: "Beat the drum!"
"promise!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
This was the first time that the battle drum sounded from the top of Yongren City, but it was not prepared for the soldiers of the defenders. The rapid and powerful sound of the drums spread outside the city and reached the ears of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were killing the enemy.
The imperial guards who were still fighting were shocked when they heard the sound of the war drums, especially when Elai and several division commanders were overjoyed, they ordered the lieutenants: "Always pay attention to the banner at the top of the city."
"promise!"
It turned out that Bai Qi and Elai had long confessed that when the army was in a stalemate, Bai Qi would personally be at the top of the city, commanding the imperial guards outside the city with a flag.
The Imperial Guard fought in the chaotic battlefield, and their sight was not unobstructed. Even with the discipline of the Imperial Guard, they may fall behind or march on the wrong route.
One carelessness may even be ambushed by the coalition forces.
With Bai Qi's trick, there will be no problems.
Bai Qi is condescending, with a clear view of the entire battlefield, and Bai Qi has a superb level of command and dispatch. According to changes in the battlefield, he can flexibly command the army to attack which point and avoid that point.
To put it bluntly, Bai Qi is the eyes and brain of the Imperial Guard.
With Bai Qi's command, the imperial guards outside the city can just march and kill the enemy according to the military order, and don't care about the rest. This is exactly what the imperial guards think.
Such a combination of the two will get twice the result with half the effort.
Sure enough, under Bai Qi's dispatch, the defensive formation that Wang Meng had painstakingly set up was easily bypassed by the imperial guards, and directly rushed into the rear of the coalition forces, causing the coalition forces that had just calmed down to be in chaos again.
The defeated coalition forces are a group of frightened birds. If there are allied forces blocking them and giving them time to recover, they can still fight, but as soon as they take a breath, the group of killing gods come again, how can we not be frightened.
Rumors began to spread in the army it seemed.
At the beginning, it was something like "the Great Xia Army launched a sneak attack from the north with a force of 100,000", and gradually evolved into "the Great Xia Army set up a trap with a total force of 300,000".
However, the soldiers still believed in this.
Otherwise, how could the enemy army beat them into such a mess?
"There is no more accurate news than this." The soldiers vowed as they fled. Only in this way can they escape with peace of mind.
As for the 10,000 law enforcement teams, in the turbulent army formation, they were unable to stabilize the overall situation, and even couldn't protect themselves, because the killing god Bai Qi had already noticed them!
The expressionless Bai Qi is like a skilled surgeon, and the imperial guards are the scalpels in Bai Qi's hands, which precisely cut and disassembled the coalition forces.
Which unit is destroyed can dismember the enemy's defense line; which fortress is destroyed can tear open the enemy's gap; which position to attack can cause the greatest damage to the coalition forces.
Regarding this, Bai Qi is very clear, his eyes are like lightning.
In contrast, Wang Meng's command and response were very pale. Seeing that the coalition forces were in chaos, Wang Meng had already lost control of the army.
The total defeat of the coalition forces could no longer be avoided.
The first to withdraw was still [Xiao League]'s alien troops. These players fled instinctively to save their lives at first, but now they are fleeing, but they are nearly collapsed by the bloody battlefield.
Just imagine, an adventure player who basically only deals with monsters and bandits, is in such a noisy, bloody, and chaotic battlefield, densely packed with people, because it is too chaotic, he and his teammates are also separated, Surrounded by some unknown coalition soldiers.
Thinking that the God of Killing behind him might kill him at any time, how could he not be frightened.
At this time, he still cares about the overall situation and talks about victory, so he should run for his life as soon as possible. With today's experience, this player is no longer willing to set foot in the battlefield.
It's better to play a one-on-one game with monsters and bandits in peace, it's really coming.
The rout of the alien army became the catalyst for the all-out rout of the coalition forces. A rout that no one could stop was staged outside Yongren City, which was truly spectacular.
Looking around, the southern suburbs of Yongren City stretched for hundreds of miles, and the mountains and plains were full of soldiers who had discarded their armor and armor, fleeing southward one by one desperately.
Food and supplies, siege equipment, and even weapons and armor were all abandoned on the battlefield.
The small hill where the coalition headquarters is located is billowing with thick smoke. It was Wang Meng who ordered the tents, together with the military materials, to be burned down before the evacuation.
Fortunately, Wang Meng still had a conscience, so he let Xiao Nianying go when he withdrew.
Bai Qi knew that the overall situation was settled, but he was still not satisfied. He wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle, and sent an order: "Order Zhao Ponu to leave the city immediately and lead his troops to pursue."
"promise!"
With a slight tilt, the south city gate that the coalition forces failed to capture opened from the inside.
The 30,000 Dragon Army, which had been ready to go for a long time, rushed out like a tiger, and cooperated with the Imperial Guards who were still killing the enemy to encircle and suppress the coalition forces.
After chasing and killing them all the way, there were countless prisoners.
After chasing and fleeing, it was night in a blink of an eye, but he could no longer march.
Whether you are chasing or fleeing, you will win a precious respite, stop for a while, take a rest, eat something by the way, and replenish your physical strength.
The tragic coalition soldiers suddenly discovered that all the food, grass and supplies had been lost long ago, and there was no food left. I have no choice but to fill my stomach with some river water.
This night, no one is destined to fall asleep.
Wang Meng was considered a responsible general, and he was not in a hurry to commit suicide and apologize. He knew very well that at times like this, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he had to shoulder more responsibilities.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Wang Meng dispatched a group of soldiers to gather the remnants as much as possible, and gathered together to form a joint force. Because Wang Meng knew that the Great Xia Army would never let them go easily.
As soon as the day breaks, the pack of wolves will catch up again.
The coalition soldiers who calmed down a little couldn't understand why they ran so crazy during the day. At that time, they didn't think about anything but one thought.
"Run, keep running south!"
When they woke up, they were all ashamed. This doesn't look like a regular army.
After receiving the convening order issued by the commander in chief, most of the soldiers still chose to meet with the commander in chief, for no other reason than to take the most realistic considerations, which is also the best way to save their lives.
Don't forget, they are still in Daxia.
Scattered soldiers cannot escape Daxia's pursuit, and only by uniting together can they have a chance of survival.
Wang Meng became the backbone of the coalition again, and even the players of [Xiao League] did not leave alone. Without the protection of the army, they have no confidence to escape back to Dali.
The problem is, how will Elai, Zhao Puonu and other great Xia generals allow Wang Meng to do what he wants.
When Wang Meng sent out the liaison team, Elai and the others were not idle, and dispatched elite cavalry to raid overnight, constantly harassing the coalition forces, making it impossible for them to survive.
Every time the Great Xia cavalry came to attack, no matter how many, the coalition forces, which had already become frightened, would just run away, never thinking of resisting on the spot.
That night, the remnants of the coalition forces who had been fighting for a whole day were tortured by the Great Xia cavalry for a whole night, and they didn't get a good night's sleep at all.
Early in the morning, everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
And this is just the beginning of the nightmare.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the Great Xia Army came in pursuit, causing another massacre.
The focus of the attack was precisely the coalition forces that Wang Meng gathered with great difficulty. Under the impact of Elai's own troops, they fell apart again and scattered.
When Wang Meng saw it, his heart was full of despair.
Two armies launched a life-and-death chase in the wilderness of Dongchuan County.
The remnants of the coalition forces were constantly slaughtered, or simply surrendered, and the number of prisoners of war doubled.
This went on for two days and two nights.
On the morning of the third day, the remaining coalition forces finally ran to the border and were about to enter Dali County. The number of coalition forces able to get here is less than 60,000.
"Huh, I finally escaped a catastrophe!"
The soldiers of the coalition army always had the joy of surviving after the catastrophe, and the nerves that had been tense all the way were finally relaxed.
In the army formation, Wang Meng, Xiao Mutuo, Xiao Nianying and others stood in line and were firmly protected by personal guards. It's just that their faces no longer had the high spirits they had when they set out, and they were all in a state of embarrassment.
Xiao Nianying was even more ashamed.
After a great battle, [Xiao League]'s 100,000 troops are less than 30,000.
The death compensation alone is an astronomical figure.
If you really want to compensate them one by one, [Xiao Meng] is the only one who goes bankrupt. Not to mention that the overall strength of [Xiao Meng] has been greatly damaged by this battle, and I am afraid that it will not be able to maintain the status of the overlord guild in Dali Royal City.
A huge crisis has been put under Xiao Nianying, Xiao's family, and [Xiao Union].
With Xiao Nianying alone, it is absolutely impossible to resist this crisis. It is that glimmer of hope that supports Xiao Nianying to the present. This expedition is all due to [Yanhuang League], they will not ignore [Xiao League].
[Xiao League] is not a pawn that can be discarded by [Yanhuang League] at any time like Xunlong Diancu. The Xiao family is a member of [Silver Hand] and cannot be provoked.
It's just that this battle was lost after all.
When the army came to the border, the commander-in-chief of the Dali Imperial Guard suddenly frowned and said to Wang Meng, "General, isn't this border a bit too quiet?"
Wang Meng was taken aback for a moment, but also came to his senses, and said, "It's indeed a little too quiet."
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
Along the way, Wang Meng always felt that there was an extremely important thing that he had forgotten.
"Let the whole army be on alert!" Wang Meng ordered instinctively.
Caution is the boat.
Seeing this, Xiao Mutuo said disapprovingly: "I said, General Wang, did you make a fuss out of a molehill, and was frightened into a frightened bird by the Great Xia Army?"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly sounded in the woods on both sides of the border.
When Wang Meng heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He finally remembered what happened, "Damn it, how could I have forgotten that the Great Xia Tiger and Leopard Cavalry never showed up in Dongchuan County."
