Chapter 506 Chapter 504 [The final word]

On the vast plains, battle flags fluttered in the wind.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Anping Army who had been recuperating in the rear since the beginning of the war, under the personal leadership of the capital commander Xu Gui, quickly arrived at the front of the position and completed a very difficult rotation on the battlefield from the area vacated by the Qing Xu Army. They appeared in In front of the Yan army's forward.

In a sense, the Anping Army is somewhat similar to the Feiyun Army of the Huaizhou Dudufu. Both are known for their fierce style and good at tough battles.

However, the Anping Army is more ferocious than the Feiyun Army, which can be seen from the resume and temperament of the general Xu Gui.

Xu Gui was a well-known green forest hero before he joined the army. Later, because his village was wiped out by Jing's army, he defected to the army in anger. After going around for several years, he came under the command of Li Tianrun, and from then on he began his extremely violent military career.

From the small captain who led a battalion of 1,000 men to attack the Qingyu Ding Central Army in the Mengshan Great Victory, to the capital commander who personally killed more than 400 Yan troops in the border wars two years ago, Xu Gui's land of promotion It's all paved with the enemy's heads.

He only respected Li Tianrun, no one else could convince him, whether they were veteran commanders like Fan Wending and Huo Zhen, or new generals like Huangfu Yu and Dang Jinxiong.

Some say he is arrogant, some say he is stupid, but no one would deny Xu Gui's ferocity and bravery on the battlefield.

The soldiers brought out by such a general will naturally be a group of murderous gods.

He is a murderer, not a reckless man.

The Yan army's forwards fought fiercely for a long time, and were no longer as timid as they were at the beginning, because they discovered that the Southern Qi frontier troops were also human beings, and they would also be injured, bleed and die. Moreover, long-term hard fighting will make people very numb, and it is difficult to touch the blood. Their nerves.

When the soldiers of the Qing Xu Army moved away from their formations on both sides, the Yan Army at the forefront finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They could not see the overall situation of the battlefield and did not know the specific situation. They only knew that their own reinforcements had arrived and were attacking the enemy's flanks from the east and west directions. At this moment, they saw the Qing Xu Army's formation as solid as a rock dispersed. Their first attack The reaction is that the enemy cannot bear the heavy pressure and shows signs of collapse.

However, the excited smile just appeared on Yan Jun's face, and it solidified in an instant.

I saw countless Southern Qi border troops coming out of the area where the Qing Xu army had moved out of the way.

Unlike ordinary troops who roar when charging, the soldiers of the Anping Army are more accustomed to moving forward in silence, so a slightly strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

There was hustle and bustle all around, but there was deathly silence in front of Yan Jun. Hundreds of Qi troops kept a distance of about three feet and rushed towards them with firm steps.

The expressions on these people's faces couldn't be described as ferocious, only a chilling indifference, as if they didn't care about the coming of death.

Especially the general of the Qi army who was at the front, he was covered in armor and holding a cast-iron spear. His tall and burly body was like a hill. He seemed to feel the earth shaking with every step he took.

Sooner or later, before the Yan army's forwards could seize the space vacated by the Qing Xu army, Xu Gui had already waved his spear and suddenly stepped forward.

The spear pierced forward like lightning and penetrated the chest of a Yan soldier.

Xu Gui suddenly exerted force, and Yan Jun's body was directly thrown to the rear by him.

The Anping Army soldiers on both sides formed a group of three and launched a desperate charge towards the Yan Army forward in front of them.

This majestic momentum, like the arrival of mountains and seas, turned into huge waves and crashed on Yan Jun!

Move forward, keep moving forward!
In the Yan Army's rear formation, Niu Cunjie had already discovered this change at the beginning of the Anping Army's operation.

As the commander of the army, knowing yourself and the enemy is the most basic requirement. Niu Cunjie is certainly no stranger to the situation of the Jingzhou Army. He knows very well that Li Tianrun is leading the Qingxu, Yangzhai, Heyang and Anping armies this time. In addition, there are The five thousand personal guard battalions directly under the Governor's Mansion, the six thousand cavalry led by Li Bingxue, and the possible Gaotang City defenders.

After the war broke out, Li Tianrun placed the Qing Xu Army in the front line, Yangzhai and Heyang armies on the left and right, and the Anping Army in the rear line. He led the guard battalion to sit in the middle army, and the formation was composed of six flowers and seven talents.

When Niu Cunjie saw the Anping Army starting to move forward, he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Are you still thinking about the center blooming at this time?"

With his vision and knowledge, he could naturally see that Li Tianrun was going to use the Anping Army to create a reverse roll curtain, use this new force to directly penetrate the center line of the Yan Army, and even directly threaten him, the Yan Army coach.

As long as the commander-in-chief beside Niu Cunjie falls, the Yan army will inevitably be unable to maintain a strong offensive, and it is likely to trigger a series of chain reactions.

After all, the handsome flag is where military morale is stable.

"Since you want the center to bloom and are unwilling to retreat at this time, then I will grant your wish."

Niu Cunjie spoke in a low tone, and then issued an order: "Order Zhao Yinghu to lead 10,000 troops under his command to assist Langshan's forward, and be sure to block the Qi army."

"Follow the order!"

"Send an order to Zhu Zhen and Cao An to each deploy 10,000 troops and horses to block the enemy's southern retreat and drag Li Tianrun's 5,000 personal guards there."

"Follow the order!"

As Niu Cunjie issued several orders, the battlefield situation changed again.

Excluding reinforcements from the east and west, Niu Cunjie went into battle this time with 60,000 infantry. He had already invested 30,000 troops in previous battles. Now he asked Zhao Yinghu to lead 10,000 troops to support the forward led by Lang Shan. With twenty thousand infantry at his side.

After receiving the order, Zhu Zhen and Cao An immediately dispatched 10,000 infantrymen each from the reinforcements, moved southward, and then completed the encirclement of the Jingzhou army at the rear.

At this point, the Yan army relied on its superiority in military strength to surround the Jingzhou legion.

Even in such a situation, the Jingzhou Army could still choose to shrink its position and break out in one direction, but Li Tianrun did not do this. On the contrary, another drumbeat with a different rhythm from the previous one sounded, and then spread far away. On the plain to the east of the main battlefield, after hearing the sound of drums, the Feiyu Army soldiers almost invariably tightened their reins.

Li Bingxue turned her head and glanced at the battlefield in the distance, then looked at the Jing Army cavalry standing between the Feiyu Army and the Yan Army's rear formation. She suddenly clenched the horse in her hand and said coldly: "Show the flag."

"Follow the order!"

Among the knights behind her, one person raised the big flag he was carrying. The flag fluttered in the wind, and the word "Fei Yu" was like an iron painted silver hook.

Li Bingxue took a deep breath, clamped her legs around the horse's belly, and the horse galloped out like lightning.

The soldiers of the Feiyu Army followed their commander and suddenly accelerated towards the Jing Army cavalry.

At the same time, before the Yan Army's forward general Lang Shan could wait for the troops led by Zhao Yinghu to turn around, the Anping Army was already approaching.

The soldiers of the Qing Xu Army fought hard for more than an hour, completely depleting the morale of the Yan Army's vanguard. Naturally, Xu Gui and his soldiers would not let down the blood of their comrades. They were like looking at the prey close in front of them, but they The ferocious beasts had been forced to endure for a short while. When Li Tianrun removed the shackles from their bodies, a violent and cruel massacre quickly began.

"Behead those who retreat! Don't retreat!"

Lang Shan roared angrily, and then he saw the soldiers in front running away in confusion, and then a Qi army general led hundreds of elites and broke through the Yan army's formation with the tip of a knife!
Lang Shan's personal guards knew that if their general died in battle, none of them would survive and even their relatives would suffer. They immediately gritted their teeth and faced him without hesitation, and at the same time shouted loudly for Lang Shan to retreat.

Although their reactions were quick, the spear in Xu Gui's hand was even faster!
He kicked the Yan Jun who was charging from the side until his chest was dented. He swept the spear in his hand forward and cut off five or six long knives in an instant. Then he moved forward quickly, killing everyone at sight like a madman. He had already rushed to Lang Shan.

The two generals met opposite each other, Lang Shan thrust forward with his spear, but Xu Gui was holding Lang Shan's spear with his bare hands during the flash of lightning, and he immediately let out a loud shout from his waist and abdomen.

Lang Shan couldn't withdraw his gun in time, so he took two steps forward. What came face to face was the spear that was dripping blood!
Die through the heart!

As soon as the general died, the rate of defeat of the Yan army's forwards suddenly accelerated. Countless defeated soldiers were defeated by the tidal wave of the Anping army's offensive, and they turned around and fled in panic.

At this time, 10,000 infantry soldiers led by Zhao Yinghu just came up.

Xu Gui led the soldiers of the Anping Army, driving the Yan Army forward like a tiger driving a wolf, and directly hit Zhao Yinghu's soldiers and horses!

At this moment, Zhao Yinghu couldn't help but have an expression of horror on his face!

When the Yan army was in the rear, the soldiers on the lookout car informed Niu Cunjie of the forward's defeat in a trembling tone. Before the general could calm down, he said in panic: "General, the Southern Qi cavalry... the cavalry... …”

"What happened to the cavalry?!"

Niu Cunjie couldn't wait any longer and jumped onto the observation car again, looking eastward with gradually red eyes.

An extremely magnificent scene appeared in his sight.

After the two fighting cavalrymen briefly separated, the Feiyu Army cavalry took advantage of their convenient position and rushed towards the side and rear of the Jingjun Cavalry.

This scene has happened many times before. Because the strength of the two cavalry is roughly the same, no one can erase the gap in distance. Regardless of whether Jing Jun pursues Fei Yu Jun or the opposite situation, the side that is temporarily at a disadvantage can calmly Steering.

Moreover, Jingjun's mount has stronger endurance, which is the reason why they are confident that they can achieve the final victory.

But this time——

The Feiyu Army suddenly accelerated, closing the distance with the Jing Army's cavalry in a matter of seconds.

Niu Cunjie watched helplessly as the Southern Qi cavalry, led by the female general, rushed into the flanks of the Jingjun cavalry. The horse's pole was almost unstoppable.

His face suddenly turned pale. How could he not understand at this time that not only the Jing Army cavalry was conserving their strength, but also the Feiyu Army cavalry, under Li Bingxue's suppression, had also been patiently pretending to deal with the enemy, waiting for her to get the order from Li Tianrun. , will seize this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Jingjun cavalry.

The most terrible thing was the direction in which they were sprinting. Niu Cunjie looked at the route of the Feiyu Army cavalry. They used a perfect charge and a sudden burst of real strength to scatter the Jing Army cavalry and headed straight towards the Yan Army's weakest enemy. Come from behind!
The goshawk hovered in the sky, its cold eyes reflecting the scene of the vast plain below.

The formation of the Jingzhou Army was still very solid. The Qingxu Army, Yangdi Army, Heyang Army and Li Tianrun's personal guard camp built a solid siege. In the north, where the two armies met, Xu Gui led the Anping Army to advance rapidly. After defeating the vanguard of the Yan Army, they continued to charge at the 10,000 infantry led by Zhao Yinghu with the enemy's defeated soldiers, and were only a hundred feet away from the Yan Army's flag.

At the rear of the Yan army's formation, the Feiyu army's cavalry pierced into the Yan army's back like arrows from the sky.

Niu Cunjie looked at the scene in front of him, and blood rushed to his forehead. He felt that his vision went dark, and he grabbed the wooden frame hard to prevent him from falling down.

"General! General!"

There were shouts all around.

Li Tianrun, who was far away in the south, listened to the constant briefings from the commanders and had a thorough understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield.

The Jingzhou Governor's face was neither happy nor worried, and he said calmly: "Send the order, the personal guard battalion will protect the rear formation, the Yangzhai, Qingxu, and Heyang armies will turn to the north and the whole army will attack."

"Follow the order!"

The commander roared excitedly and tremblingly.

Countless roars resounded across the plains, countless spears marched forward bravely, and countless young and vicissitudes of soldiers of the Daqi border army were like rolling torrents, trampling the mountains and rivers to pieces!
