Under the orders of Yueze and Lixin, the anhuan united army made the most stupid decision, giving up the camp and breaking through. As a result, they were trapped by the Zhen army and surrounded by 400000 Zhen troops.
To make matters worse, the anhuan allied forces soon saw smoke billowing from their camp. Even ten miles away, they could still see the sky as if it were red with fire.
There were so many materials in the United Army camp that the Zhen army couldn't rob them. Gu Anmin was not willing to leave all such huge materials to the six countries' coalition army. Finally, he ordered the camp to be burned.
The poor supplies of the six countries united army were reduced to ashes under the fire of the Zhen army.
After the fire broke out in the camp, the anhuan united army had no way out. Under the circumstances of being surrounded by the Zhen legion, the officers and men of the two armies could only fight to death.
The fighting between the two sides was fierce, from day to night, and from night to dawn. The fierce battle between the two sides, with millions of troops on a grand scale, was also tragic, and there were not a few casualties on both sides.
The strength of the anhuan united army is not as good as that of the Zhen army, but that is normal. Now the two armies are in a desperate situation, and there is no other way but to fight to the death. a dog will leap over a wall in desperation! One man worked hard, but three were defeated, not to mention more than 300000 troops of anhuan united army.
After a day and night of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Zhen army were close to 100000, and the casualties of the anhuan united army were as high as 150000 or 60000. There was almost no clean open space on the battlefield. There was a river of blood everywhere. There were countless corpses, broken limbs, damaged soldiers and armor, scattered all over the ground.
After a major war was temporarily suspended, only half of the original 400000 strong anhuan allied forces were left, and there were barely 200000 soldiers left to fight.
During the fierce war, Yueze and Lixin didn't want to break out of the encirclement, but they did not want to go out. The encirclement of the Zhen army was like an iron barrel array. No matter how fierce the breakthrough of the anhuan united army was, they were all blocked by the Zhen army one by one.
By now, both Yueze and Lixin are in despair. It seems impossible to expect reinforcements. However, with their own strength, they can not be the opponents of the Zhen army. Now it seems that there is only one dead end left for the anhuan united army.
Yueze and Lixin even thought of taking the initiative to surrender, but their ideas were immediately opposed by their subordinates, and the monarch surrendered. How can an and Huan countries bear such a humiliation? Not only did the two countries lose face, but even Sichuan, Feng, Mo and Yu would be ashamed to be associated with anhuan.
According to the wishes of the generals of the two armies, we can only fight to the end. If we can wait for reinforcements, we will still have hope of survival. If we can't wait, we can only serve our country faithfully and become benevolent.
Under the unanimous opposition of the generals, Yueze and Lixin reluctantly give up the idea of surrender and insist on it.
At this time, the Fengyu army had already entered Canglin County, and heard the news that the anhuan united army was trapped. However, Fengyu and Fengyu troops did not drive directly to this side, but separated their troops and made a detour.
Of course, this is also Tang Yin's idea. He did it for two reasons. The division of troops can be divided into several parts, which makes it easy to hide one's own tracks. Second, he wants to carry out an anti encirclement against the Zhen army.
Tang Yin planned to follow the example of the Zhen army, and try to encircle the Zhen army on the periphery of the encircling circle of the Zhen army, and strive to annihilate the central army of the Zhen state.
Lingshuang objected to his decision. Of course, his idea was good, but the delay was too long. She was worried that the anhuan united army might not be able to persist for that long.
Tang Yin didn't think so. In his opinion, since the anhuan united army had been able to fight with the Zhen army for a day and night, it showed that there was still some strength. Now that they were on a dead end, they would surely burst out their full potential. It would be no problem to persist for another two or three days.
Finally, lingshuang couldn't twist Tang Yin, so she had to accept his suggestion and take another risk.
No one knows whether the anhuan united army can persist in fighting the Zhen army for two or three days. However, the attack of the Zhen army slowed down.
From Xitang all the way to Canglin County, first attack camp, then fierce battle, Zhen army up and down has been exhausted to the extreme.
Even Gu Anmin also saw that his soldiers' physical strength had reached the limit. If he continued to attack strongly, he was afraid that he would not only be unable to annihilate the anhuan united forces, but also cause great casualties on his side. Therefore, he gave up the rush for success, but chose a more secure siege. The anhuan united army broke through the encirclement with limited rations. Gu Anmin believed that within three days, the anhuan united army would have to run out of food, and within five days, its combat power would have to be reduced by half. By then, his own industry would have had enough energy and strength to attack again, and he would have captured them.
He was right in his estimation. He even overestimated the food and forage of the anhuan united army. On the night of the armistice, the anhuan United Army ran out of water, and by the third day, 200000 of the remaining soldiers had begun to run short of food.
For the anhuan united army, the initial lack of water and food was not the most fatal. The most fatal thing was that the mountains of corpses around could not be cleaned up. Over the past few days, the corpse was exposed to the sun and rotted very quickly. Mosquitoes, flies and maggots were everywhere. Soon, 200000 soldiers were sick. At first, there were only a few cases, but then, the officers and soldiers began to fall ill in groups. There were many dead and alive soldiers who died without medical treatment.In the whole battlefield, the stench was very high. Whether it was the trapped anhuan united army or the Zhen army in the periphery, people usually covered their faces with sweat scarves to cover their mouths and noses. Even so, they still couldn't stop the disgusting odor in the air.
When the anhuan united army had held on to the point that it could no longer hold on, and both the upper and lower levels were waiting for death in despair, Gu Anmin finally decided that the whole army would attack and give the enemy the most lethal and final blow.
However, the attack of the Zhen army had not yet been launched. At the critical moment, there was a roar in the rear. How high the dust was raised, a cavalry composed of tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared and rushed to the Zhen army camp.
Hearing the news, Gu Anmin was shocked. He didn't know which country's army was the sudden enemy. In a flurry, he ordered General Yang Ying to lead 50000 troops to stop the sudden enemy.
Yang Ying is also a well-known fierce general in Zhen country, but this time he met with Shangguan yuanrang of Fengguo and Shixiao of Yuguo.
The two men went hand in hand and rushed at the front of the cavalry. Seeing that the Zhen army had already attacked, Shangguan yuanrang and Shixiao did not slow down. The former urged his horse and yelled at Yang Ying: "the one who takes your first rank today is the general of Fengguo, Shangguan yuanrang!"
Said the sound did not fall, Shangguan yuan let has come to Yang Ying near, Ling Luan Feng then released out. Yang Ying hears Shangguan yuan rang's name, heart big array, how dare to be careless, with the spirit chaos extremely Parry opposite party's spirit disorderly wind.
He blocked the wind of the spirit chaos, but Shangguan yuan, who was charging forward, had already rushed to his side, and the spirit knife in his hand swept forward.
Yang Ying quickly set up a gun to parry. In her earrings, she heard two sounds of "clanging" and "plopping". Yang Ying's body was smashed by Shangguan yuanrang's heavy knife and fell under the horse.
Before he stood up, lightning appeared in the air, and a spirit gun cut through the sky and flew straight to Yang Ying's chest. At this time, he was so shocked that he was blackened. Where could he see the spear coming from? He was stabbed in the chest by the gun. He heard the sound of the blow. The flying gun penetrated Yang Ying's chest. The tip of the gun poked out from behind, and penetrated into the ground, nailing him to the ground.
The Shangguan yuan, who came back from the horse, picked up a ready-made cheap one and cut off Yang Ying's head.
At this time, Shi Xiao also urged his horse to run over. Without stopping for a moment, he pulled out the spirit spear nailed on the ground, shook his arms, and rushed into the camp of the Zhen army with his gun.
Shangguan yuan let Hengdao laugh two times, also followed the Zhen army camp. The two of them were divided into two ways, one left and one right, and then the cavalry behind them was divided into two. The wind cavalry followed Shangguan yuanrang, and the jade cavalry followed Shixiao. Two cavalry, like two sharp knives, cut the 50000 Zhen army into three pieces.
Even if it was as fierce as the Zhen army, it could not resist the close attack of the cavalry. The camp of 50000 people was soon broken up by the cavalry, and it was like a plate of loose sand.
I didn't expect that the 50000 soldiers he had just sent out were killed by the enemy so quickly, and even General Yang Ying was killed. Gu Anmin almost carried his breath on the spot without a breath.
He asked the soldiers who had been defeated and retreated. Who was the enemy? How could they be so fierce?
A Zhen general opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "the enemy is a pure cavalry, the flag is the Fengyu united army, and the chief general is Shangguan yuanrang of Fengguo!"
Shangguan yuanrang! When he heard the name, Gu Anmin suddenly felt cold. It was not that he was frightened by the reputation of Shangguan yuanrang. However, since Shangguan yuanrang came, it showed that the main force of Fengyu united army had been withdrawn to Canglin County, and there was no hope for his side to annihilate the anhuan United Army.
When the situation was in danger, Gu Anmin could not think about it. He ordered the whole army to give up the siege of the anhuan United Army and withdraw to the south.
But it was too late for him to retreat.
At this time, we heard from all directions that the drums were thundering and the shouts of killing were loud. Countless flags of the wind army and the jade army were erected around the front and back of the Zhen army. Under the flag, the soldiers of the Fengyu united army who could not see the border were under the flag.
Now the situation is very interesting. The Zhen army is besieging the anhuan united army, while the Fengyu united army is besieging the Zhen army. Both sides are wrapped up in one layer.
However, the sudden appearance of the Fengyu united army was fatal to the morale of the Zhen army. At first, the Zhen army had occupied the overall initiative, and it was only a matter of time before the annihilation of the anhuan united army. But now, the situation is turning from a full-scale initiative to a comprehensive passivity. The Zhen army not only has no time to manage the anhuan united army, but also has to consider how to break through the encirclement.
