Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2290 The Decisive Battle of Yangxi, the God of War Li Jing Descends
Li Jing naturally wanted to eliminate Xuanwu, the most powerful general of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, this person is related to the Zhao family by marriage. His father, Xuan Jinlong, was once Zhao Changfeng's sworn brother, but unfortunately, he died young.

Xuan Jinlong's younger sister, Xuan Jinyan, was Zhao Kuangyin's mother. Interestingly, her death was also related to the Han Dynasty.

On the day the Song dynasty was established, the two men who broke into the Zhao residence each used the other's martial arts, but unfortunately, the other was thinking the same thing. As a result, both sides could be said to have wasted their efforts.

Xuanwu's wife was also born into the Zhao family. Among the Cao family generals, Cao Kerang was adopted into the Xia dynasty after his birth, but his wife Zhao Jinxiang was originally a member of the Zhao Song imperial family, so she was naturally adopted into the Zhao Song dynasty.

Therefore, she could not possibly remain Cao Kerang's wife, but was instead betrothed to Xuanwu by Zhao Kuangyin to further strengthen the ties between the two families.

Given the complex relationship between Xuanwu and the Song Dynasty, Li Jing would naturally not hold back if he had the chance to kill him!

On the day of the decisive battle, Li Jing personally led 40,000 troops to guard the central army, while Di Qing and Zhang Liao led 30,000 cavalry to guard the left and right flanks respectively, waiting for the right opportunity to strike!

Neither side had any intention of engaging in a duel, since their current rosters of generals made such a duel pointless.

Although Xuanwu is strong, he is better at withstanding pressure than winning quickly. With his martial arts style, he cannot lose, but it is also difficult for him to win.

On the Han army's side, not a single person could get past Xuanwu.

For both sides, what is the practical significance of spending half a day here watching two people fight to a draw?

Therefore, shortly after both sides entered the agreed-upon battlefield, they simultaneously engaged in full-scale combat.

Anubis...

...In the decisive battle, Li Jing's Han army was clearly in a state of active attack.

For Lian Po, defense was far more adept than offense. Therefore, Lian Po chose to defend and wait for Li Jing's army to charge in before preparing a counterattack.

After all, the enemy's cavalry numbers were far greater than theirs; they only had 10,000 cavalry, while the enemy had 30,000, even after Guo Ziyi had mobilized half of his Flying Feather Legion to Zong Ze's side.

Otherwise, the disparity in cavalry strength between the two sides would be even greater.

Faced with the Han army's cavalry advantage, Lian Po could only maximize the reduction of the enemy's cavalry advantage by forming a tight military formation and maintaining a close defense.

However, Li Jing quickly discovered something was wrong. According to the information from the scouts, all the enemy's powerful generals, such as Xuanwu, Zhao Bifang, and Gao Siji, had been concentrated in one direction by Lian Po.

Upon discovering this situation, Li Jing immediately stood on a high slope and looked out into the distance.

Although he couldn't get a clear view of the entire battlefield, he keenly observed that Lian Po truly deserved his reputation as the number one general of the Song Dynasty; his command skills were indeed phenomenal.

The troops that had already engaged in close combat under his command switched from defense to offense almost without any pause, while the troops that had not yet entered close combat maintained a tight defensive posture.

Commanding tens of thousands of troops with ease and fluency is a hallmark of a great general.

"Ding! Li Jing's fifth skill, the God of War, has been activated. The God of War's Strategy can increase one's intelligence when contemplating matters related to military affairs."

Current intelligence +3, base intelligence 97, current intelligence increases to 100.

"Lian Po, it seems you know you can't stop my flanks, so you want to focus your attack on the center?" Li Jing wondered silently.

In a battle, the front, center, rear, left, right, and flanks are all part of a whole. If any direction is breached, it could lead to the defeat of the entire battle.

Therefore, one can focus on a particular direction as a point of concentrated breakthrough.

However, we must absolutely not allow other directions to become so vulnerable.

Clearly, Lian Po's current actions defy common sense; he has concentrated all his troops and top generals at the forefront. This will inevitably weaken his forces in other areas.

This was certainly not a fundamental mistake made by Lian Po. After all, warfare is not something that can be done by simply copying theories; it can only be done by adapting to the actual situation.

In Li Jing's view, this was a risky move made by Lian Po when he knew that no matter how he arranged his troops on the left and right flanks, they would not be able to stop Li Jing's 30,000 cavalry.

All the elite troops and powerful generals were concentrated in one direction, and before the troops on the left and right flanks were defeated, they broke through Li Jing's central army.

"Pass down the order: have Di Qing and Zhang Liao break through the enemy's flanks at all costs and as quickly as possible!" Li Jing immediately gave the order.

At the same time, he ordered his men to wave their command flags, switching his vanguard and central army from an offensive posture to a defensive one.

Even though Lian Po had mobilized all his elite troops and generals in one direction, Li Jing still did not believe that Lian Po could break through his vanguard in a short time.
