The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 693 Desperate Melee ([-])

On Zhu Huan's face, there was a vicious smile showing a successful plot.The flag behind him was waved continuously.

The first broken front of Zhu Huan's army participating in the battle was not broken up on the two wings, and at this moment it suddenly gathered towards the central army.They are going to start the cohesion, using their own superior forces to completely encircle Gai Meng's cavalry in the army formation.

Zhu Huanjun's third front line also moved, and they began to divide into two parts to make a roundabout, in order to strengthen the thickness of the entire encirclement.It seems that Zhu Huan has really calculated that Gai Meng's cavalry will be intercepted in front of his second front.

Although Xiong Ping noticed the enemy's movement, he had no choice but to continue to boost the morale of the soldiers and charge forward with all his strength.

In the formation of Zhu Huan's army, there was a cloud of smoke and dust, and people turned their backs on their backs. Gai Meng's cavalry continued to charge inside, but they couldn't shake the entire enemy formation at all.

After all, Xiong Ping's cavalry was successfully surrounded by Zhu Huan's army, and they could only rush left and right inside.However, at this time, Zhu Huan's army had begun to gradually shrink the encirclement, suppressing the space for Xiong Ping's cavalry to move.

Gai Meng and Meng Xi looked at all this in astonishment, the sky had gradually turned dark, just like the despair in their hearts now.

Gai Meng knew that it was now the critical moment of life and death, and he, like Xiong Ping just now, was faced with two choices: retreat, or divide his troops to save Xiong Ping's men, the final result is likely to be that everyone was buried together!

But Gai Meng also knew that the preciousness of the cavalry in his hands and the high expectations the prince had placed on them, absolutely cannot be buried here.Zhu Huan's army is now entangled by Xiong Ping's men and horses, and they have more opportunities to escape. With Sun Huan's defeated army, it is impossible to hold back his own cavalry!

Ge Meng is not Xiong Ping, he needs to be responsible not only for his own troops, he must be responsible to the whole army, he must be responsible to the prince!

Just when Gai Meng made a difficult decision and finally decided to choose the martyrs to sever his wrists, abandon Xiong Ping's troops, and save most of the troops, Meng Xi suddenly sent a messenger to inform Gai Meng of a message.

Gai Meng immediately turned his horse's head and looked towards Sun Huanjun's direction. In the distance, soaring flames and bright smoke rose up, which was so conspicuous in the gradually darkening sky!
Gai Meng was overjoyed that Zhang Bao's army had successfully captured Sun Huan's rear camp.

Gai Meng immediately asked the messenger: "How long has the fire been burning?"

The messenger immediately replied: "It's been a while. We didn't notice it before, and someone saw it by accident later."

It's been a while, that is to say, Zhang Bao's troops may have already rushed to the battlefield at this time.

Encouraged by this news, Gai Meng decided to give it a go: he decided to draw some troops from his headquarters, turn around and attack Sun Huanjun's encirclement, to see if he could rescue Xiong Ping's troops.

Gai Meng's actions are very dangerous. After all, Sun Huan's camp is still some distance away from here. It is not known whether Zhang Bao's army is still attacking the camp, or has already taken down the camp and rushed here.

Therefore, Gai Meng immediately said to the messenger: "Pass my order to Lieutenant Mengxi, and let him take over the command of all the battles here. I will lead people to rescue General Xiong Ping's troops!"

The messenger was just a pawn, and it was his job to convey the order completely, so he immediately led the order without hesitation and ran back to convey Gai Meng's latest order to Meng Xi.

Gai Meng immediately organized his troops again.The guards around him, after a whole day of fighting, lost nearly a hundred people, leaving only about 200 people.So he mobilized another cavalry of 300 men to form a small cavalry team of 500 men.They quickly turned around, left the battlefield and rushed towards Zhu Huan's army.

With the departure of Gaimeng's army, the strength of the left wing position became extremely empty.Meng Xi had always had an advantage against Zhu Huan's army, so he had to draw some troops from the Central Army to fill in the gap.

Gai Meng's approach gave Zhu Huanjun a chance to breathe.Zhu Huan even had enough energy to launch a counterattack against the Shu Han army in some places.

Zhu Huan quickly discovered the appearance of Gai Meng's small cavalry in the rear.He was a little stunned at first, Gai Meng's men and horses are doing this now, they are almost throwing themselves into a trap!
Zhu Huan immediately issued the latest order to divide the troops to intercept Gai Meng's troops, but even if his order was delivered quickly enough, it would take a lot of time for the infantry to regroup into formation.

Therefore, Zhu Huan's order was delayed.Gai Meng's five hundred cavalry launched the most violent attack on Zhu Huan's encirclement from the rear, and actually tore through the encirclement of Zhu Huan's army in one fell swoop.

Zhu Huan's face turned livid with anger.So, his latest order was conveyed, and the breakthrough in the rear gradually began to close again under the operation of their superior force.

Gai Meng managed to meet Xiong Ping. Xiong Ping's body was covered with blood, and there were several wounds on his arms and back.Xiong Ping's team has already suffered serious losses, but they can withstand it for the time being.

When Xiong Ping saw Gai Meng coming, he grinned an ugly smile on his face. His smile was not very good-looking in the first place, and now his face was covered with sweat mixed with dust, which made his smile even more ugly.

Then, Xiong Ping felt that something was wrong.He immediately turned his head to look towards Meng Xi, where the battle was still going on.Xiong Ping knew right away that Gai Meng was risking his life in order to save him.

Xiong Ping couldn't help being moved in his heart.

But Gai Meng immediately shouted to Xiong Ping: "General Xiong, hurry up and break out with me, General Zhang Bao's men should appear soon." Then, Gai Meng pointed to the bright place in the distance.

Xiong Ping nodded immediately, and loudly conveyed the order for the soldiers to turn around and break through.

Therefore, the two troops of Gai Meng and Xiong Ping immediately joined forces and launched a battle to break out of the encirclement towards the rear.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of war drums soaring to the sky also sounded from behind Zhu Huan's army.The Jiangzhou Army led by Zhang Bao finally appeared.At this time, the sky had turned dark, and Mengxi could almost only see patches of black figures of the Jiangzhou Army.

Meng Xi's mood suddenly became extremely excited.So much so that he, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Jiangzhou Army rushed towards Sun Huanjun with a roar.Zhu Huan's army immediately became chaotic. They never expected that the enemy army would appear behind them.And it seems that his camp has been cut off by the enemy.Facing the enemy's death, Zhu Huan had no choice but to immediately send a signal for help to Zhu Huan's army.

After Zhu Huan received Zhu Huan's distress signal, he really stood there in a daze.Now he is faced with two choices again: one, ignore Sun Huanjun's plea for help, and must eat the two encircled cavalry teams; out.

If it was the case before, Zhu Huan really wished that Sun Huan would die as soon as possible.But considering Zhu Huan's current situation in Jiangdong, he absolutely does not want Sun Huan to die in front of his eyes.In that case, he would be in a desperate situation because of the annihilation of Sun Huan's entire army, which had been made difficult by Zhu Yi and Sun Luban.

So, for Zhu Huan, the only option now is to smash the steel teeth and swallow them in his stomach.So, in addition to sending out all the reserve troops, Sun Huan also mobilized half of the troops for encirclement.They rushed from the direction of the right wing where Xiong Ping was originally, and they could rush through the gap, and then intercept the menacing Jiangzhou Army!
Zhu Huan's tactics were successfully implemented, and his division successfully intercepted the Jiangzhou army's attack behind Zhu Huan's army.And Gai Meng and Xiong Ping's team managed to break through after all, but they broke through forward.They once again took advantage of the cavalry and ran back to Mengxi at the fastest speed.

As a result, the entire battlefield was cut into three parts at once.The three armies also fell into a melee.

This melee continued for two days, and both sides suffered heavy losses.But also in the course of the war, these outstanding generals gradually changed the position of the army formation and troops, so that their respective troops joined together.

Therefore, under a kind of tacit agreement, the two sides began to gradually withdraw their troops from the battlefield.In this pre-set war, the calculations of both sides were "collided", and the schemes were exactly the same, which finally led to such a scuffle. This is no wonder, maybe it can only be said to be God's will.

Therefore, the armies of both sides retreated thirty miles away and went to their camps.

After statistics, Gai Meng's troops lost a lot. The infantry team killed 500 people and seriously injured nearly 1000 people, losing more than half of their combat effectiveness.As for the cavalry, the situation is slightly better, only the loss of 1000 cavalry.The Jiangzhou Army lost about 500 people, and about 500 people were seriously injured.Some of their casualties occurred when they attacked Zhu Huan's camp.

The losses of the Jiangdong Army were much more serious, especially Sun Huan's army, with an army of 1 people, killed more than 4000 people and seriously injured more than 2000 people.His army was completely disabled in this battle.

The loss of Zhu Huan's army was much smaller, and the whole army lost about 3000 people.
