Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4363 A crushing defeat

When the first shell roared in the air and drew a parabola with incomparable precision and fell into the charging array, the soldiers of the left guard turned pale with horror.

When the exploded bullet casings formed countless fragments and splashed in all directions, penetrating all blocking objects, tearing up the flesh and blood of the body, the morale of the army collapsed instantly.

The power of firearms is enough to split mountains and crack rocks, heaven and earth, how can flesh and blood resist it?The indescribable fear shattered all the bravery in an instant, leaving only one thought in my mind: run...

However, the military formation composed of tens of thousands of people cooperates with each other and balances each other to form a tight whole. How can it be dispersed suddenly?

The shells fell on the top of the head, and after the explosion, the shrapnel flew freely. Countless panicked soldiers ran away with their heads in their arms, but because of their own formation, they could not escape the purgatory-like desperate situation for a while, shouting and begging for mercy more and more, even throwing away their weapons and crying .

The artillery fire began to slowly extend to the distance according to the established tactics. The distance of the artillery shells landing at each moment was almost the same. The violent artillery fire covered the most central area of ​​the battlefield, and repeatedly bombarded the main force of the left guard back and forth. Diffuse, shrapnel flying across, stumps and corpses everywhere.

All the soldiers of the left guard were terrified by the ferocious artillery fire. How could the human body be able to resist such a power that could destroy the world?
The morale of the army was annihilated by artillery fire in an instant, and the collapse of the entire army was doomed in an instant.

The soldiers on the periphery hadn't been poisoned by the artillery fire. Seeing the tragic situation in Paoze, they no longer cared about military law and discipline, and scattered in all directions.And with the collapse of the peripheral soldiers, the entire array began to loosen, and the main force could finally disperse to avoid artillery fire...

From the ruins of the Han Palace to the north and the Weishui River to the south, the tens of thousands of left-waiting guards who fled ran wildly like a flock of sheep. to no avail.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

……

Countless shells poured down on the field. Although limited to the power of gunpowder, it did not have the power to split mountains and rocks, but the flying shrapnel easily harvested the lives of soldiers. Flying, not only harvested the main force of the left guard, but also completely destroyed the morale of the entire army.

Fleeing soldiers scattered like flocks of sheep...

Yin Qinzhou watched helplessly that the troops cultivated by generations of the Yin family in Liquan were torn apart and disintegrated under the bombardment. He felt a tightness in his chest and blackness in his eyes. He staggered two steps and spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The guards on the left and right were terrified and hurried forward to help, but he stretched out his hand and pushed them away.

Wiping the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, Yin Qinzhou turned his head to look at Dou Xi, who was being carried on his back by a grandson of his clan, who was about to escape with red eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Now, the Guanlong clan finally got their wish, right?"

The grandson of the Dou family wanted to escape with Dou Xi on his back, otherwise no one would know what would happen if the rout soldiers rushed up later, but such a tragic battlefield frightened his hands and feet softly, even though the dying Dou Xi had little flesh on his body , but when he was walking with Dou Xi on his back, his feet were so soft that he almost fell into the mud, and almost threw Dou Xi out...

Dou Xi hurriedly put his arms around the neck of his clan grandson, wanted to scold a few words but could only hold back, turned his head and saw Yin Qinzhou whose eyes were bloodshot, his heart trembled, and he said helplessly: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Everyone in Guan Long will remember the general's benevolence and righteousness, and he will definitely pay back."

The threat of destroying the family finally forced Yin Qinzhou to take the risk, but in the end he was defeated like a mountain and wiped out all the wealth accumulated by the Yin family for several lifetimes. This kind of thing is the fault of the Guanlong Clan no matter what.

What's more, at this time, he is in the army of Zuo Houwei, if Yin Qinzhou intends to retaliate...

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

There was a sinister smile on Yin Qinzhou's face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There will be rewards? Hehe, after this battle, the troops stationed in Guanzhong will be scared out of their wits. Who else dares to approach Chang'an half a step? King Jin will surely be defeated, Your Majesty The throne is as stable as Mount Tai, and when the rebellious army is put down, His Majesty will be the first to attack the Guanlongmen Clan! At that time, your whole family will sit together and your entire family will be wiped out, what will you give me in return?"

Dou Xi's lips trembled and his face was pale.

Although Guan Long has become decadent and lacks the talents of lieutenant generals, there are still a few people who make plans and strategize. This is the background of the aristocratic family. Cultivate talents to lead the revival of the family.

Previously, according to the current situation, some talents in Guanlong gathered together and came up with a plan to "break the boat", that is, to force Yin Qinzhou to send troops to Chang'an.

In fact, everyone didn't think that Yin Qinzhou could defeat Fang Jun. After all, Fang Jun's feats over the years were all real, and they were definitely not in vain.Such a person can't be underestimated even in a desperate situation, let alone taking charge of Youtunwei again?
The reason why he gave up his face and forced Yin Qinzhou to send troops is to break everyone's fear of the situation. Even if Yin Qinzhou can't defeat Fang Jun or even lose the battle, as long as he is the first to stand up and launch a vigorous attack on Chang'an, it will be regarded as a fire. The first Mars, the rest will inevitably flock to.

However, after thousands of calculations, they never expected that Yin Qinzhou would lose so badly and so quickly...

Now the garrisons from all over the country must have been assembled, and some people may have already marched towards Chang'an, but Yin Qinzhou would be defeated at the first touch, and at the same time as Fang Jun's invincible reputation was forged, it was almost like giving those people a blow: Who else dares to come?
Although the sparks fell, they were wiped out by a bubble of urine before they could ignite a prairie fire...

But Fang Jun turned his head and stormed Xuanwu Gate with the power of a great victory, and he would definitely be able to attack and defeat it. When the right guard entered the Taiji Palace and chased Li Daozong's tail to kill him, and flanked the defenders in the palace, Li Daozong would undoubtedly be defeated.

The situation in Chang'an will undergo earth-shaking changes...

As long as His Majesty sits firmly in the Tai Chi Palace, those garrison troops and family members who had waited and even wanted to send troops to Chang'an before, can only swear allegiance to His Majesty if they want to survive. , rushed forward and tore King Jin into pieces.

At that time, His Majesty will be the first to drag the Guanlongmen clan over to perform the operation.

Yin Qinzhou showed a fierce look, and without further words, he ordered his left and right soldiers: "Take down this old thief, follow me back to the north of the Wei River, and then use him in exchange for His Majesty's forgiveness."

Dou Xi was shocked, and the two grandchildren were even more shocked and angry. They were about to run away with Dou Xi on their backs, but the soldiers who had already swarmed up fell to the ground and tied them tightly.

Dou Xi looked ashamed, and muttered in his mouth: "Why bother, why..."

He was born into a powerful family and was pampered and pampered all his life. How had he ever encountered such humiliation and danger?
Yin Yuan galloped towards him from a distance, and shouted: "Commander, retreat quickly, the armored cavalry of Youtunwei have already killed them!"

The terrain where Yin Qinzhou is located is slightly higher, so when you look up, you can see a cavalry with more than a thousand black helmets and black armor driving straight in among the collapsed left guard army like a black dragon. Cut a bloody path among the tens of thousands of routs, and headed straight for him.

Yin Qinzhou did not dare to delay, and immediately retreated towards the Weishui River surrounded by his own troops with his tightly bound Dou Xi, fearing that the armored cavalry behind him would rush too fast and be blocked by his own rout soldiers, so he didn't even Dare to walk on the Zhongwei Bridge, but go straight to the river, and ferry across the river by boat, so as not to be chased and killed by armored cavalry...

When Yin Qinzhou stood on the boat and sailed towards the north bank of the Wei River, countless guards on the left who came into view fled to the bank of the Wei River. Because there were not so many boats to ferry, some people even took off their armor and left alone. Liuliu jumped into the rushing river and swam across the river. There was chaos and chaos for thousands of miles.

The remorse in his heart was like a poisonous snake, Yin Qinzhou stomped his feet fiercely, and shouted: "Old man Dou Xi, I will never live with you!"

Then he spat out another mouthful of blood, fell to the sky and fell on the boat, and passed out.

The soldiers around were in a panic...

*****
Stepping on the broken rubble of the ruins of the Han Palace, Gao Kan watched tens of thousands of enemy troops crumble under artillery fire and fled chaotically among the mountains and plains, without much joy in his heart after the great victory.

He knew what Fang Jun's original strategy was. Although such a big victory now solved the crisis, it also completely deterred the rest of the Guanzhong garrison and clansmen, making them fearful and never dared to take the risk of attacking Chang'an.

It can be said that the original strategy has completely failed...

These dozens of cannons were prepared for all the garrisons in Guanzhong, and now they are used to defeat the left guards.
Big wins are normal, not to mention failures, small victories are accidents...

"Withdraw the artillery to the camp, check the barrels, clean those that need to be cleaned, and replace those that need to be replaced. The armored cavalry and light cavalry continue to chase the defeated soldiers, and they must be driven to the north of the Wei River. Send someone to Yin Qinzhou to send a letter and ask him to gather them. Remnant soldiers, surrender! The rest of the people, follow me back to the camp, and support the commander in attacking the Xuanwu Gate!"

"Here!"

Thousands of soldiers fought vigorously, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and then followed the military orders.

……

Under the Xuanwu sect, Fang Jun nodded with his usual expression when he heard Dasheng's report.

Master Sun Ren felt a little regretful: "Perhaps we should wait a little longer and let the left guard go crazy for a while, maybe the rest of the troops with ulterior motives will be attracted, and then they will be wiped out! After all, using these dozens of cannons to deal with the left guard is a bit overwhelming. It's extravagant..."

Fang Jun shook his head: "The situation is critical, who dares to take risks? What you want to think about now is not to expand the results of the battle, but how to securely win the victory. Remember, never underestimate your enemy, even if the situation No matter how beneficial it is, we must fight steadily, and we must avoid greed, arrogance and arrogance.”

"What the commander-in-chief taught me is that the general will know his mistakes at the end!"

Master Sun Ren was sweating a little, so he quickly admitted his mistake.
