Three Kingdoms: The Kingdom Cannot Be Partial

Chapter 26: The Lord humiliates and dies! ! !

Shen Shi.

Han Village.

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous ahead. You must not go any further!"

Zhao Pijiang, with a look of panic on his face, opened his eyes wide, spread his arms, and stood in front of the emperor who insisted on going to meet the army.

For the vast majority of soldiers, there is no such thing as feigning defeat or actually losing!

Defeat is defeat!

No one knows whether the captains and Sima of each unit can command their troops to fight and retreat.

If not, then thousands of defeated soldiers would all crowd together and rush to the west bank of Xieshui, blocking all retreat routes!
By then, these two hundred so-called personal guards would have no chance of protecting the emperor!

The chaotic army has no eyes!

Liu Chan, who had already moved the flag back to the Han camp, looked at Zhao Pijiang with his arms wide open, then looked over his shoulder and looked outside the camp to the east.

There was smoke and dust everywhere, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Inside the stronghold, panicked fleeing soldiers would occasionally pass through the camp and flee towards the sloping water behind them.

This kind of collapsing army is enough to make anyone who has never been to a real battlefield instinctively tremble in their legs.

Liu Chan is also a human being.

Liu Chan was no exception.

He had simply witnessed tens of thousands of troops fighting in bloody battles and hundreds of hoofed beasts falling, so the trembling in his legs was much less severe than those who were going to the battlefield for the first time. However, his armor and cloak perfectly concealed his instinctive uneasiness at the moment.

However, at this moment, his repeated insistence on moving the flag forward to meet the army seemed crazy to Zhao Guang and others. How could they notice that the emperor was also panicking?

"I'll take another hundred steps forward, just a hundred steps."

When Liu Chan said this, his tone was a little reluctant.

"Your Majesty, you said the same thing a hundred steps ago!"

Zhao Guang was about to collapse.

Your Majesty has moved from the slanting water to here. He has said "move forward a hundred steps" five times!

Another hundred steps and we’ll be back on the battlefield!

Not to mention the fleeing soldiers, what if Cao's army, upon seeing the emperor's Jinwu banner, rushed over without regard for their lives to capture the thief first and the leader first? Wouldn't that be the end?!
Bah, what a thief, catch the dragon!
Liu Chan glanced at Zhao Guang, then turned his gaze to the fleeing soldiers passing through the camp. After a long moment, he said, "I think I should go."

After saying this, Liu Chan stepped aside, stepping over Zhao Pijiang's outstretched arms.

The armor plates on his body collided with each other, making a rattling sound.

Before he could take five steps, Zhao Pijiang moved sideways again and ran in front of him. Then he suddenly knelt on one knee. When he raised his head again, tears were streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, stop!"

"I will carry the banner forward on behalf of Your Majesty!"

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded:

"Alright."

Zhao Pijiang stood up immediately as if he had been pardoned. Without saying a word, he snatched the yak-topped golden banner weighing almost a hundred pounds from the hands of the two guards beside him, and then ran out of the camp gate regardless of anything.

Liu Chan ordered dozens of personal guards to follow.

Soon, the Jinwu banner, decorated with yak-top gold and symbolizing the supreme imperial power, appeared on the battlefield.

...

battlefield.

Left wing.

As the rebel leader Lai Yi led his troops to flee, Fu Qian's troops, who were originally in the middle of the left wing, lost the support on the right and were directly involved in a bloody battle.

By the time Zhao Yun and Zong Yu led their troops to the battlefield, Cao Zhen, who was personally leading thousands of his own troops, had already formed a battle formation and surrounded the right side of Fu Qian's troops.

The flank is the weakest point of an army formation. Coupled with the sudden loss of support, Fu Qian's troops were unable to change their formation in time, and more than 300 people were killed or injured as soon as they engaged the battle.

You know, in the previous head-on battle that lasted more than an hour, the number of casualties was only three hundred!

If Fu Qian had not given up his command and personally rushed to the right wing with a gun, killing dozens of people with all his might, the morale of the troops he led would have collapsed!

The soldiers behind the army were all old and weak, almost all wearing leather armor, and their fighting will was not strong, so they could not hold on at all!
Nearly a thousand soldiers in the rear row abandoned the battle formation and fled, and more than a hundred of them were beheaded by military judges.

However, because there were too many fleeing people, the military judge was unable to maintain order. What's worse, some people even brandished knives and spears at the military judge!

Fortunately, the Yuanrong crossbowmen led by Zong Yu fired thousands of crossbow arrows at close range, directly killing and wounding hundreds of Cao's troops, and frightening off a wave of Cao's troops.
This allowed Fu Qian's troops to catch their breath, and also made room for the two thousand Hanzhong County soldiers led by Zhao Yun to protect Fu Qian's right wing again.

Otherwise, today's battle is likely to end in a complete failure.

Surrendering on the battlefield is a huge blow to morale.

Fortunately, due to the added prestige of Zhao Yun and the bloody battles led by Fu Qian, Feng Hu, and Zong Qian, the order of the Han army was gradually restored, and they slowly withdrew while fighting.

The number of soldiers on the left wing is decreasing.

But it is just a reduction, not a complete elimination.

Cao's army still had the advantage in numbers, and the old and weak soldiers who made up the majority of the Han army were far inferior to the enemy in terms of physical strength and armor. Many old soldiers even gave up struggling due to exhaustion and faced death helplessly.

On the other hand, Cao Zhen obviously saw that the morale and fighting spirit of the Han army on the left wing where Zhao Ziqi was located were obviously stronger than elsewhere, so he began to give orders, ordering the thousands of infantrymen in the rear who had not yet entered the battle to go to the central Han army away from Zhao Ziqi.

Fighting and retreating means slow movement.

This means that the Cao army, which has the advantage in numbers, can rush to its rear and directly block its retreat.

As expected, the Han army in the center of the battlefield lost their composure when they saw Cao's army rushing towards them from behind.

Especially the old and weak who had been guarding the rear, before they could engage in battle with the oncoming Cao army, they took the initiative to abandon their formation and began to flee.

Seeing this, Feng Hu, who was fighting in the front, hurriedly handed over the command to Sima Liuyin, and then rushed forward desperately.

After his arms and thighs, which were not protected by armor, were stabbed by spears countless times, he successfully killed more than ten Cao soldiers in front of him, scared away the Cao soldiers in front of him who were almost terrified, and bought space for himself to move to the rear.

However, at this moment he still did not retreat, but continued to rush forward, killing seven or eight more Cao soldiers.

At this point, Feng Hu, whose arms and thighs were bleeding profusely, led dozens of his personal soldiers to charge towards the rear formation.

Sima Liuyin, who was also blood-thirsty, immediately led his personal soldiers to the front and, like Feng Hu, rushed forward without paying any attention to the swords, spears and arrows of the Wei soldiers!

Where had Cao's soldiers ever seen such a scene?

--retreat.

As for the second generation of Wei generals, they were unwilling and unable to rush to the front of the battle.

Le Lin in the morning is a lesson for us.

Furthermore, since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, empty talk about metaphysics has become popular in Luoyang. After Zhaolie's death, Luoyang was even more immersed in an atmosphere of invincibility, waiting for the Shu and Wu bandits to fend for themselves.

The great epidemic that left nine out of ten houses empty at the end of the Jian'an period and the uncertainty of life and death caused by decades of war made the second generation of Luoyang people, starting with Cao Pi, no longer believe in destiny and morality, but only believe in power and wealth, and in enjoying life in the moment.

Everyone should be realistic.

The atmosphere of comfort and extravagance in Luoyang is becoming more and more serious.

Including the sinister and cruel Sima Shi who came later, most of the second generation, whether civil or military, were almost inevitably influenced by one or two things.

The person wearing shoes, embroidered with gorgeous ornaments and wearing red tassels, would never be willing to exchange his precious life for the cheap life of the barefoot person.

But as officers, they should have been in command. Who can say they were wrong?

They are right.

On the contrary, the generals of the Han army, like Le Lin in the morning, ignored the overall situation and charged into the battle line. If they died in the battle line, they would be laughed at by the whole world.

But no matter what, these Han army generals did so today.

how so?

The stunned Wei general had no idea.

As a result, the Wei soldiers who were fighting against this Han army stopped for a moment.

Liu Yin led his troops to fight and retreat.

Soon, the Han army approached the Han village.

Feng Hu, who had successfully rushed to the rear to protect the formation, killed off a wave of Wei soldiers who wanted to intercept the Han army. After getting a moment of respite, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in his bloody eyes.

He turned his head and was completely stunned.

That was the gate of a Han village.

That's a side of Jin Wu Huan.

That was a young warrior in silver armor.

Of course, that was Zhao Guang.

However, a few steps behind Zhao Guang, another young general in silver helmet and armor, carrying a bow and holding a sword, stood on a high platform, quietly looking at the Han formation.

Look at him.

"Your Majesty, the Golden Guard Banner is right there. We must not be defeated!"

Feng Hu roared, then picked up his spear, blood gushing out, and rushed towards the Wei formation without hesitation.

Killed dozens of people.

The Wei army was shocked.

The man shouted again.

"The master insults the servant and the minister dies!!!"

Thrust forward with the spear.

The Han army was in high spirits.
