When the battle situation fell into a stalemate, Jun Shen and Zhan Lang decisively changed their formation.
More than 7,000 sword, shield and archer troops from Chi You's camp pressed forward and launched a fierce attack on the outermost Dichen troops. There is a huge gap in troop strength, even if Dichen has a battle bonus, he is still not an opponent.
Seeing that it was about to collapse, Ouyang Shuo did not die. Immediately ordered friendly troops to rush for reinforcements, and at the same time notified Chang Xian's department to request reinforcements. Ouyang Shuo still understands the reason why lips are dead and teeth are cold.
It's a pity that Chunshen Jun and the others changed formation too quickly. As soon as they found that the cavalry troops could not receive any miraculous effect, they immediately turned to attack Di Chen's troops with all their strength. By the time the friendly troops led by Ouyang Shuo and Chang Xian's troops arrived for reinforcements, Dichen's troops had been completely disabled, and they officially announced their withdrawal from the battle sequence.
Chunshen Jun was also cunning. Once he found out that Ouyang Shuo and Chang Xian had rushed to reinforce him, he didn't rush in greedily. Instead, he shrunk his defensive line and immediately switched from offense to defense. For a while, the battle situation on the right wing fell into a stalemate again.
With a livid face, Di Chen retreated from the front line with more than 800 remnants. Ouyang Shuo didn't pretend to go forward to comfort him, otherwise, he didn't know what extraordinary things Di Chen would do.
Di Chen was also depressed, he didn't know who to blame. Blame Ouyang Shuo, he not only blocked the opponent's cavalry, but also arrived in time for reinforcements, otherwise, they might not even be able to keep the current 200 troops. Blame Chun Shenjun on the opposite side, let alone talk about it. Since they are in the opposite camp, they should fight no matter what. If you want to blame it, blame yourself for being unlucky, but Ouyang Shuo, a freak in your own camp, snatched the position of the representative of the alien, and as a result, your own side was restrained everywhere.
When the battle situation on the right wing fell into a stalemate again, it was a different scene on the left wing.
As Jushou expected, the 70,000-strong army of the Chiyou tribe and the 40,000-strong army of the Chinese army were used to resist the 50,000-strong army of the Huangdi tribe on the opposite side. The left and right wings each had 15,000 troops, and three or four thousand troops were transferred from the right wing to support the left wing.
In this way, the 15,000 people on the right wing will face the 30,000 army of Emperor Yan's tribe. Fortunately, Chi You's army has a psychological advantage over Yandi's army. You know, some time ago, the Yandi tribe was defeated by the Chiyou tribe, and had to ask for help from the Huangdi tribe.
Unfortunately, this balance of power is doomed to be broken. Just when the troops of both sides were entangled, Zhang Liao led a cavalry unit of more than 800 people, secretly made a big bend, and inserted it into the rear of Chi You's troops from the side like a sharp knife.
The Chi You tribe on the right wing never expected that they would encounter the cavalry troops of the opponent at this time. They didn't even have decent shields, so they couldn't stop the cavalry troops from attacking. Especially the rear troops, mainly archers, their defense line, as fragile as paper, was pierced by the cavalry in an instant.
Especially the heavy cavalry who acted as arrows, whether it was a spear or an arrow, hitting the Mingguang armor was no different from scratching it.
Under Zhang Liao's flexible command, the cavalry moved from east to west, erratically. The Chi You tribe could only helplessly watch the opponent gallop in their own position, but they couldn't stop it at all.
When Emperor Yan saw that the cavalry had successfully broken through the enemy's defense line, he immediately pushed the reserve troops up across the board and put pressure on Chi You's troops in order to draw their energy and prevent Chi You's troops from besieging the cavalry.
In this way, Emperor Yan's troops were pressing forward step by step, and the cavalry troops were constantly interspersed among Chi You's troops. With the cooperation of the two, they immediately brought Chi You's troops into a dangerous situation, and they were about to be gradually eaten away.
When Chi You received the Right Wing's request for help, he was immediately shocked. He knew that his plan had already been seen through by the enemy on the opposite side, and he even made targeted arrangements. In desperation, Chi You had no choice but to arrange troops from the Chinese army to rush for reinforcements. If the right wing is disabled again, the battle itself will be more difficult.
It can only be said that Chi You underestimated Jushou's strategy. The Yellow Emperor, who was commanding in the center, kept staring at the enemy's central army after he got the news that the left wing attack was effective. As soon as they noticed the opponent's abnormal movement, they immediately commanded the entire army to press forward, not giving Chi You a chance to breathe.
Although the warriors of the Yellow Emperor's tribe did not have an advantage in weapons, they drove ferocious beasts, and with generals like Li Mu, they fought head-on without losing the slightest advantage. Originally, they had an advantage of tens of thousands of people, but now the advantage has expanded again, and the army of Chi You's army has really begun to struggle.
The back tricks don't stop there. The right wing, which was originally passively defensive, suddenly exerted strength at this time and began to switch from defense to offense. The right-wing army is more than twice the size of the enemy, but because it is a coalition of small and medium-sized tribes, its combat effectiveness seems somewhat insufficient. Now that the situation on the battlefield has reversed, and seeing that victory is in sight, those tribal leaders have become bloody and stopped commanding. Many leaders went into battle by themselves, leading the tribe's warriors, roaring and rushing towards Chi You's tribe. For a while, the pressure on Chi You's left wing immediately increased.
The third line suffered setbacks, and Chi You's army was in danger of a complete collapse.
It was the left-wing cavalry that broke the deadlock. When Zhang Liao discovered that the enemy's central army was coming for reinforcements, he acted decisively and ordered the cavalry to charge directly into the reinforcements.
The generals who led the troops from Chi You's troops who came to reinforce him obviously didn't expect the opponent to be so fierce.
Zhang Liao was naturally extremely sober, he knew that the enemy's right wing had been scattered by him, like a headless chicken. If the reinforcements are allowed to merge with the right-wing troops smoothly, it is possible to regroup the troops and stabilize the morale of the army. In this way, when the opponent is prepared, it will be difficult for him to tear apart the opponent's line of defense by relying on his own army of less than a thousand people.
Therefore, the key to victory is to tear apart the reinforcements and bring them into the vortex. In this way, no matter how many troops there are, as long as they cannot be gathered together, it will give the cavalry troops an opportunity to advance and retreat calmly and divide them all the time. What awaited them was to be eaten away one by one by the Yan Emperor's army.
Sure enough, the troops who saw the reinforcements were also torn apart by this group of devilish cavalry. Chiyou's troops on the right finally began to collapse, and some fighters began to flee to the rear. Under the chain reaction, the right wing was completely defeated. Naturally, Emperor Yan would not miss such a good opportunity, leading his troops to pursue and bite the opponent firmly.
The rout of the right wing finally led to the rout of the whole army. Even with Chi You's prestige, he couldn't stop the troops from fleeing, so he had no choice but to command the army to retreat, as much as he could keep.
Chi You, who was retreating, glanced at the opposite side and let out a long sigh. He knew that his dream of dominating the Central Plains would be completely shattered in today's battle.
Naturally, the Yellow Emperor did not allow Chi You to retreat like this, and the new force of Chi You's tribe was still there. If they were not completely wiped out, Chi You might make a comeback at any time, which he did not want to see.
The Yellow Emperor ordered the whole army to pursue it. At this time, it was the killing feast of the alien army of the Yellow Emperor's camp. Even Di Chen, who had retreated to the rear, brought his remnants back up again. Facing the fleeing Chi You tribe is simply an excellent opportunity to reap the contribution value of the battle.
Only Ouyang Shuo kept an eye on it, he arranged for the troops to chase, and at the same time moved closer to Huangdi's carriage, and followed closely beside Huangdi.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo, the Yellow Emperor beamed with joy, and said, "How can a stranger say that he has no clothes? Today's victory should be remembered as your first achievement. After returning, there will be a big reward."
Ouyang Shuo rode on the horse and said respectfully: "I dare not. The victory of this battle depends entirely on your majesty's benevolent prestige, and on the bravery of the entire army to kill the enemy. I dare not be greedy for credit."
Ouyang Shuo only wanted a substantial reward, so he was naturally insensitive to such a false name, and he would easily offend the important ministers of the Yellow Emperor's tribe and a group of tribe leaders, so why bother.
Huang Di nodded, very satisfied with Ouyang Shuo's understanding. But in his heart, he had made up his mind to reward Ouyang Shuo well. Huang Di knew very well that today's victory was all due to Ouyang Shuo's two suggestions, no reward would not be enough to convince the crowd. Even if he didn't say anything, those courtiers would desperately suggest that he reward Ouyang Shuo heavily, so as to offset Ouyang Shuo's achievements.
Facing the advancing forces of the Yanhuang Tribal Allied Forces, Chi You, who was retreating, was also ruthless. While ordering a part of the army to retreat, he led the main force to speed up the withdrawal. Those troops in the rear are equivalent to being abandoned, completely abandoned.
At this time, one can see Chi You's prestige in the Jiuli tribe. Once they woke up from the reality of defeat, the soldiers who fled at first were ashamed, and offered to take on the task of rear guard, vowing to defend the leader's safety to the death.
Chi You reluctantly bid farewell to the soldiers at the back of the palace, and hurriedly withdrew.
After withdrawing for a certain distance, Chi You decisively ordered to set fire, hoping to use the fire to completely block the pursuing Yanhuang army. The fire spread rapidly by the wind, and the lush forests and grasses all over the Zhuolu field were filled with fireworks. But damp weeds, trees, and water do not make a fire a raging fire, but form a thick smoke, which, drifting about in a damp environment, forms a mist.
In the choking smoke, the pursuing soldiers of the Yellow Emperor's camp were completely lost. In desperation, the Yellow Emperor could only order the army to stop the pursuit and stand by.
Huang Di looked around at the important officials around him, and said in a deep voice, "Who can break through this fog?"
No wonder the Yellow Emperor was so anxious. If he could not catch up with Chi You's troops in time, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Thinking that it won't be long before Chi You will make a comeback. How can the Yellow Emperor, who loves the people like a son, bear the heart. In his opinion, recuperating and vigorously developing agriculture is the right way and the kingly way. Attacks between tribes like this one will eventually fall to the bottom.
All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, they were really helpless in such a thick fog.
