The defeat of the coalition forces in the northern suburbs was only the prelude to the defeat of the coalition forces.
The fleeing coalition forces were like frightened birds, walking in panic, chased by death. They instinctively rushed to the wilderness on the east and west sides of Yongren City. The chaotic crowd immediately disrupted the formation of the coalition forces on the east and west sides.
A general grabbed a fleeing soldier and asked, "What happened in the north?" The soldiers on the east and west sides of the coalition forces still didn't know what happened, and they were all confused.
"The enemy, the enemy, kill, kill!"
The officer asked, "Where did the enemy come from? How many people are there? Did they kill their way out of the city or somewhere else?"
The series of questions made the soldier confused, and he stammered, "I, I don't know, the, the people at the back fled, fled, I, we also fled …"
The officer shook his head and let the soldier go.
In the chaotic battlefield, it was really impossible to rely on a soldier to find out accurate information.
"A few people go and find out what the situation is." The officer ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, a few light cavalry, going against the current, ran toward the north.
But without waiting for the Light Cavalry to turn back, an even more ferocious crowd had already surged towards them. That formation was like an avalanche, and any troops that stood in front of them were smashed into pieces.
The number of people who were trampled to death was uncountable.
The whole battlefield was like purgatory, and there were panicked and helpless people everywhere.
It turned out that E Lai saw this good opportunity and decisively divided the army into two, chasing the east and west sides. E Lai did not expect the coalition forces to be so good-looking, but useless, and scattered as soon as they rushed in.
This was not surprising.
The coalition forces were composed of three major parts. Except for the Dali Imperial Guards, which were relatively pure, the rest could be called miscellaneous troops. The 50,000 territorial troops of Cloud City were temporarily put together after the annexation of the territory.
The 100,000 mutant troops of the Xiao Alliance were even more unruly. They had no experience in joint combat, and even no experience in large-scale combat.
In fact, the mutant troops were the most straightforward to run.
These players did not have a strong concept of military discipline, and at the critical moment, it was naturally important to save their lives. Although the guild had promised a generous death compensation, no one was willing to start all over again.
The 100,000 mutant troops suddenly became the biggest unstable factor in the coalition forces.
The roots of the three troops were different, and their nature was also different.
How could such a united army not be defeated when their morale was greatly reduced when they were suddenly ambushed by a trump card army like the Imperial Guards when their siege of the city was blocked?
Wang Meng said that this army was well-trained, but he was probably "blind". This kind of army could be seen in good times, but once they were in a bad situation, they would immediately reveal their true colors.
In comparison, they could not even compare to the army of Swordsman City.
The Imperial Guard Corps led by E Lai was like a pack of wolves that were herding lambs. They galloped wantonly within the allied forces, and they cooperated tacitly with each other as they set off a monstrous slaughter, causing death to pervade the army and further increase the fear of the allied forces.
Up until now, there were still about 150,000 of the 200,000 soldiers left in the allied army, which was more than twice the number of the Imperial Guards. If he wanted to subdue this allied army, he had to attack their hearts, completely disrupt their formation, strike fear in their hearts, and destroy their morale.
As the saying goes: A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light.
Wu Lai had been in the wilderness for more than three years. Under the influence of the Great Xia army and the deliberate grooming of Ouyang Shuo, Wu Lai was no longer just a valiant general.
After three years of tempering, Wu Lai had gained some understanding of the art of war and could be said to have been reborn.
As a result, Wu Lai's deployment was rather particular. The Fourth Imperial Guard Corps was a mixed infantry and cavalry corps. The cavalry would open the way in front and tear the enemy apart, while the infantrymen would charge in and expand the battle results.
The two types of soldiers were coordinated in an orderly manner, and they were commanded like two limbs.
Logically speaking, this Imperial Guard Corps had just been formed by transferring soldiers from the three major armies. How could they have such an efficient and coordinated combat ability?
This was all thanks to the restructuring of the Great Xia army's training system by Chief Gao Shun.
Regardless of whether it was the Imperial Guard Corps, the Dragon Stallion Army, the Brave Tiger Army, or the Hidden Leopard Army, they all used the same set of "Great Xia's Field Army Daily Training Manual." As a result, this set of standards had long been integrated into the blood of the officers and soldiers.
This was even more so for the battle-hardened elite soldiers.
With this as a basis, coupled with an appropriate commander, how could they not be efficient?!
A spectacle appeared in the wilderness.
The 70,000 Imperial Guards chased the 150,000 allied forces all the way. It was truly amazing.
…
In the barracks in the southern suburbs, Wang Meng's face darkened as he looked at the chaotic scene at the front line.
If the historical Wang Meng could live for a few more years and persevere until the battle of Fei River, he would probably have even more feelings. The rout of the allied forces in front of him was very similar to the rout of the former Qin army.
Soldiers were not soldiers, and generals were not generals.
Soldiers could not find generals, and generals could not gather soldiers.
The entire battlefield was a complete mess, and there was no longer any motivation to attack the city.
After the eastern and western allied forces were disrupted by the Evil Army, the completely panicked soldiers instinctively fled to the south. Under the chain effect, the entire allied forces were in complete chaos.
There was no longer any peace in all directions.
A sudden rout was right in front of them.
"Retreat!" Someone couldn't help but say.
Unexpectedly, these words completely infuriated Wang Meng. He suddenly turned around and said fiercely, "Who? Who said you want to retreat? Stand up! "His eyes looked as if he wanted to devour someone.
"It's me."
The person involved, Xiao Nianying, didn't have a trace of fear, nor did he feel guilty. He spoke very calmly. Since the allied forces were doomed, Xiao Nianying didn't want the [Xiao Alliance] to be brought to hell by Wang Meng.
"Don't even think about it!"
Wang Meng was depressed. He suddenly realized that he couldn't do anything to Xiao Nianying.
Before coming, Wang Meng had made a military order in front of the Lord that if he didn't take down Yong Ren City, he would capture Bai Qi alive and bring his head to see him. Therefore, for Wang Meng, there was no way out of this battle.
Either Bai Qi was alive, or he would be buried with him.
Previously, Wang Meng led a team to the Great Sui Dynasty and caused a huge disturbance, which had already made Wang Meng's situation in Handan City quite difficult. This time, he was entrusted with an important task by the Lord, how could Wang Meng fail again.
"Hmph, if you don't retreat, we will retreat!"
Seeing that the rout was a foregone conclusion, Xiao Nianying didn't want to be buried with everyone.
In just a short while, the 100,000 elites of the [Xiao Alliance] had already lost tens of thousands, which had reached the limit of what the alliance could bear. If this dragged on, the [Xiao Alliance] would be dragged down by this battle.
Wang Meng said, "How dare you! I am the commander of the allied forces, those who don't follow my orders, I can directly take you down. "As he spoke, his personal guards had already surrounded Xiao Nianying.
In Xiao Nianying's eyes, Wang Meng was after all just an NPC. The arrogance in his bones made Xiao Nianying feel that he was a notch above Wang Meng, how could he bear such humiliation.
This completely angered Xiao Nianying, who originally cared about his face, his expression became extremely gloomy, like a son of a noble family who wanted to eat someone up. With a "swoosh", he pulled out the long sword at his waist and said coldly, "I have given you face!"
"Wang Meng, you are just a dog in front of Di Chen, I only respectfully call you General because of Di Chen, do you really think that you are someone important? Do you believe that I will kill you with my sword? "
"You!" Wang Meng was extremely embarrassed and angry.
At this point, Wang Meng was speechless in front of the Lord.
There was no other choice but to die.
"Take him down!" Wang Meng said coldly.
The entire camp was guarded by Wang Meng's personal guards. Once they received the order, they immediately went forward to take him down.
Xiao Nianying coldly smiled, "Wang Meng, you have to think carefully, I am a mutant, have an immortal body, and also have a strange treasure to protect my body, I can die without any harm. If you catch me today, I guarantee that you will die without a burial place. "
With the substitute doll by his side, Xiao Nianying had nothing to fear.
Facing Xiao Nianying's death threat, Wang Meng was unmoved, and coldly said, "I have already disregarded life and death, you cannot threaten me. Come, tie this person up, and bring him into the camp to await trial. "
"Yes!"
The personal guards no longer hesitated, and all rushed forward.
Xiao Nianying was somewhat flustered, hesitating whether to resist or not.
As the saying goes: The tyrannical fear the stupid, the stupid fear the reckless.
Although Xiao Nianying was not afraid of death, he was not willing to lose a substitute doll in vain. That was a priceless treasure, and he spent 300,000 gold coins to buy it.
"You wait!"
Xiao Nianying finally chose to temporarily admit defeat, leaving behind a ruthless sentence, really like the style of an aristocratic family.
"A wise man submits to circumstances." This was their mantra.
Wang Meng no longer spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the little Mu Tuo and the commander of the Dali Imperial Guards.
Compared to Xiao Nianying, an aristocratic family's young master, Wang Meng, Fu Jian's number one subordinate, was really an old fox with rich experience.
Taking care of Xiao Nianying, this kind of inexperienced person, wasn't it a piece of cake?
Wang Meng was so determined to take down Xiao Nianying, one was to prevent the [Xiao Alliance]'s mutant troops from withdrawing in advance, and the other was to make an example to the others, to deter the little Mu Tuo and the commander of the Dali Imperial Guards.
If these people's beliefs were shaken, and they all had the thought of withdrawing, then this battle would really be over. And in Wang Meng's view, the allied forces were only in a momentary chaos, and still had the strength to fight.
Sure enough, after Wang Meng's show of strength, the two forcibly endured and did not say anything.
In this way, the "internal strife" temporarily subsided.
But the situation on the battlefield still did not improve. Wang Meng calmed down and began to constantly adjust the troops. He first ordered the whole army to stop attacking the city, in order to concentrate on dealing with the current chaos, so that the allied forces would not be attacked from the front and back.
With the military order, the attacking troops, who did not know what happened, retreated in groups.
In just a short while, the previously empty wilderness was once again densely packed with people. It could be seen that because of the urgency of attacking the city, more than half of the troops were sent to the front line, and were not affected.
Even if they were withdrawn from the city, the whole formation was still intact.
This gave Wang Meng confidence.
Then Wang Meng ordered the allied forces in the southern suburbs to form a formation, ready to resist the enemy's next wave of attack; at the same time, he sent people to appease the defeated soldiers, and gathered them together again.
The ten thousand reserve soldiers in the southern suburbs were sent by Wang Meng to be the law enforcement team. Those who dared to spread rumors, and those who dared to retreat, were all executed on the spot.
After a series of adjustments, the panicked allied forces finally temporarily stabilized their position.
But Wang Meng still underestimated E Lai, underestimated Bai Qi, and even underestimated Great Xia.
