Chapter 403 The general trend is gone
For most of the soldiers of Chen, the experiences in the past few days were too dreamy. In just a few days, everything seemed to be upside down:
Obviously, the Chen army had maintained an absolute advantage in the past few months. Even military strategists like Pei Ji and Wei Zai, who were good at overall arrangements, felt that the Northern Qi court was busy with the western expedition and had no time to look south. When he could draw out his strength, Huainan and Huainbei might have been swallowed up by the Southern Dynasty.
The facts seem to prove this.
Several Chen troops gradually advanced, and almost every ten days, the Huainan army was drawn out, and the remaining old and weak and the military soldiers had no combat power. Wang Lin, who was temporarily ordered to sit in Shouchun, avoided fighting... Everyone felt that there would be no surprises. According to their entire blueprint, their strategy had been achieved. They had to work hard... They could end the Northern Qi rule in Huainan for twenty years, and let Wang Lin completely blow the lights and pull out the wax!
It's like fighting with someone. The opponent is already so overwhelmed. As long as they use a little more force on their arms, they can completely collapse. However, it was in this gap that they had to make a splash that they suddenly realized that the muscle groups on the other side were much more developed than they did. The Northern Qi army, which had been replenishing for a long time, could have far exceeded their imagination in this decisive battle!
Wang Lin began to exert force.
So Chen Jun collapsed.
A great escape.
If there is an omniscient perspective that allows everyone to look down from the sky, they can observe that under the blue and black sky, the warships lingering on the lake have all been destroyed by the Qi army ships. On the other side divided by the Qi army, tens of thousands of armored armies rushed back and forth against the Chen army's less than 20,000 troops!
Large tracts of wildfires were spreading... being divided, the Qi army continued to attack their scattered formations, and opened flesh-and-blooded roads among the crowd. Chen Jun, who was at a disadvantage, was gradually weakening his fighting spirit, but under the oppression of the Chen Army General, he tried his best to fight until a series of loud noises came from the lake, and Wang Lin beheaded Wu Mingche and issued an edict everywhere.
Everyone felt that their minds were empty, like a walking corpse, staring at the slowly pressing Wang Shuaiqi of the Qi army... Wang Lin rode alone in front of the formation and said to everyone in a sad tone: "If you have my former subordinates here, please put down your weapons and stand aside. Wang really can't bear to meet you!"
Wang Lin was originally a military clan. He led troops for many years and had countless subordinates under his command. He was always loyal. Many officers of the Southern Dynasty remembered him well.
According to the normal historical trajectory, when Wang Lin was captured by Wu Mingche, many people went to see Wang Lin privately and pleaded with Wu Mingche. Wu Mingche had no strong desire to kill him, but when he saw Wang Lin's influence among officers and soldiers, he immediately took the lead. No matter how Wang Lin was evaluated, looking at the Yanguo of the Southern Liang Dynasty, during the period from the establishment of Nanchen, he was indeed a pivotal and worthy of writing.
The head coach of the middle army is dead, so why are you still struggling?
After hesitating for a long time, the first general Chen army put down his weapons. Immediately afterwards, many officers brought their weapons with their commands. They may not be unfaithful to the Southern Dynasty, but now the situation is over... And Zhou Luohu almost confirmed that Wu Mingche was killed, and led the remaining soldiers to fight out of the retreat and flee south at all costs!
At the same time, Wei Zai, Xiao Maha and Cheng Wenji hurriedly sent troops from Shiliang to the north; Ren Zhong temporarily repelled Pi Jinghe's attack and was planning to form a siege on Xuyi again; Huang Faqi sent troops from Hefei, and was about to cross the Feishui River, preparing to capture Huainan... However, when Wei Zai was twenty miles northeast of Shiliang City, he heard the news that the Central Army had been almost wiped out.
After Wang Lin swept away Jiyin and the south bank of Huai River, his troops were divided into four groups, radially moving towards the northeast, southeast, and south.
Ren Zhong chose to escape at the first time. He gave up Yangping without intending to join Wei Zai's army. He retreated southeast to Yancheng, intending to transfer to Shennong County and then withdraw from Jiangbei... A few soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasties on the eastern side were unaware of it. When he realized it, he had nowhere to escape. He was intercepted by the Qi army and those who refused to surrender were directly massacred.
Wei Zai returned to Shiliang and hurriedly wrote to inform Huang Faqiu.
Wang Lin's army, who defeated the Eastern Route Army, turned to chase south under the leadership of Qi general Murong Zi'an.
Both the wind and the clouds became unknown.
When Huang Fafeng received the letter, he had pulled half of the camp arranged by Qi Jun on the east side of Feishui. He could block it for him for a few more days and he could surround Shouyang. Now all this has become a dream bubble.
On both sides of the water, the light of the torches was sparse, like starlight, spreading on the dark earth. By the bonfire, Huang Faying looked at the letter quietly in the swaying fire. Lu Guangda stood on the side with the sword, and his burly shadow was pulled long and appeared. The atmosphere was strange and quiet. Huang Faying folded the letter and stuffed it into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Prepare to retreat."
Lu Guangda looked at the veteran in confusion. Huang Faxian sighed tiredly. Under the warm firelight, the old man spots on his face became more and more obvious. "Wu Mingche was blocked by Wang Lin at the mouth of the Chishui River and was completely wiped out in one battle. The middle army had been defeated... Ren Zhong, it was unreliable... This battle has been lost. If you don't leave quickly, Wang Lin will be over."
Lu Guangda continued to lose his voice. The message contained in these few words was too great, and he couldn't make a turn for a while.
"Oh, when the Northern Expedition was launched, who would have thought it would be the end? Everyone showed their energy and calculated it all, but they could not beat Wang Lin. Wu Mingche, a general, was incompetent and damaged the three armies. He was a sinner of the Southern Dynasty!" Huang Faqi sighed deeply and said, and then anger rose in his heart. He was silent for a moment and pointed to the direction of Shouyang: "Let's wait and see, from now on, the Chen army will not step into this place again."
The trend is over.
The Qi army and Chen army fought four consecutive games near Shiliang, and each other won and lost. Hefei was alone. Huang Faxian knew that defending Hefei would not last long and would retreat to Liyang. At the same time, Pei Ji, who was guarding Guangling, also headed north to Jingzhou to participate in this confrontation with the Qi army... Wang Lin was sweeping the southern bank of the Huai River, and the main force had no time to look south for the time being, and Chen army still had a little time to prepare.
