Jiuxi

Chapter 911 909 [Opponent]

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Liu Shouguang, the Grand Commander of Jingzhou, stood beside the drum stand, waving the drumsticks with both hands, his eyes fixed on the battlefield ahead.

When he first learned of Lu Chen's plan, he actually had a similar reaction to Zhang Xu. They believed that doing so was somewhat risky. If an accident occurred on the battlefield, it would inevitably affect the safety of the border of Da Qi.

The reason was simple. Although Wu Yanshu divided his troops into two fronts, east and west, to lure the Qi army into the trap, he did not weaken the strength of the main camp too much.

The tens of thousands of infantrymen he kept by his side were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles, and he also had a world-famous heavy cavalry. Such a force configuration was enough to ensure his own safety.

It would be a good idea for Lu Chen to attack the center of the army directly, but the Qi army is unable to mobilize enough troops to crush the enemy, and can only have a slight advantage at best. In this case, how can they deal with the Tiger and Leopard Camp that Wu Yanshu is proud of?

This is why Liu Shouguang did not try to dissuade Lu Chen when he decided to take action himself.

Only by doing this can Lu Chen fully tap the potential of the Long Sword Army, and even allow the soldiers to burst out with extreme combat power far beyond the usual limit, because the commander leading by example has always been the only way to boost military morale, not to mention that Lu Chen is now the number one person in the Da Qi Army.

If not, how could the Long Sword Army defeat the Tiger and Leopard Camp?
Liu Shouguang felt a little scared.

The Long Sword Army won this battle with great difficulty.

Even though Lu Chen personally took part in the battle, inspiring the soldiers to be brave and fearless, and even though the Tiger and Leopard Camp's commander was beheaded by Lu Chen, the Jing Army still did not collapse. They continued to fight for nearly half an hour despite the loss of their commander, causing considerable casualties to the Long Sword Army.

If Lu Chen had not taken action, perhaps the battle would have had a different outcome.

The drumbeats stopped for a short while, and Liu Shouguang handed the drumsticks to his subordinates, and immediately said to the messenger: "Send a message to the Anping, Qingxu, and Linghuai armies, the enemy's heavy cavalry has been destroyed, each of you tighten your belts, no need to hold back any more!"

The herald took the order and left.

Liu Shouguang tried his best to calm his excitement. At this time he could see the outcome of this battle.

After Lu Chen personally led the Long Sword Army to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Camp of the Jing Army, the balance of victory completely tilted towards the Qi Army.

At this moment, there was a brief emptiness in the center of the battlefield, and the strongest enemy in front of the Qi army soldiers had fallen.

Almost every member of the Long Sword Army was covered in blood, as if they had been soaked in a pool of blood. However, they did not feel much excitement or joy at this moment, because they lost many comrades in this battle, and the result in return was the almost complete annihilation of the Tiger and Leopard Camp.

But they had no time to grieve and mourn.

Under Lu Chen's leadership, everyone stepped over Jing Jun's corpses and continued forward.

The Guangji Army, which had just rested for a short time, came up to join them. Fan Wendi walked straight to Lu Chen and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, looked at the main camp of the Jing army in the distance and said, "Can we still fight?"

Fan Wendi said without hesitation: "Yes!"

"it is good."

Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed forward, saying proudly: "I order you to lead the army to block this gap and strangle the enemy!"

"The last general takes command!"

Fan Wendi bowed and immediately led the Guangji Army back into battle, charging towards the Jing Army's position which was now wide open.

In the Jing army formation, Wu Yanhai's eyes were bloodshot. He had been waiting for the Tiger and Leopard Camp to succeed, and then lead more than 4,000 cavalry to charge out from the center of the battlefield and directly lay the foundation for victory. However, he did not expect to be struck by a bolt from the blue!
The Tiger and Leopard Camp was defeated!
Wu Yanhai suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said to his deputy general, "You lead the troops to the battlefield, I will be back soon!"

He turned his horse and galloped away, soon arriving under the flag of the central army, where his uncle's pale face came into view.

Wu Yanshu obviously also knew the results of the battle in the distance. At this moment, the left and right wings and the center of the Jing army were all under attack from the Qi army at the same time, and the situation was becoming more and more critical.

No one can remain absolutely calm in such a situation.

Wu Yanshu was also a flesh and blood body. His voice trembled slightly, and the bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible: "Remember, after you escape from the battlefield, immediately head to the western front from different directions and tell Miegudi and Guiyou to abandon Qiliu City and retreat quickly. Defend Yanwu City at all costs and wait for the arrival of our main army!"

Twenty armored and sword-wielding personal soldiers looked at the commander-in-chief, knelt on one knee and said, "We obey your orders!"

Wu Yanshu said sternly: "Don't delay any longer, leave immediately!"

Everyone quickly got up and mounted their horses, heading northwest.

Wu Yanshu took a deep breath, then turned to look at his nephew. Before he could speak, a panicked voice rang out beside him: "General, the Feiyu Army of Southern Qi is forcing its way through the battle!"

At this moment, Jing Jun's formation was shrinking and could no longer maintain its previous stability.

Wu Yanshu climbed onto the lookout car and looked toward the northeast, only to see that the Southern Qi cavalry, after reorganizing, was rushing at high speed towards the rear of the Jing army.

You have to know that charging with light cavalry is a relatively risky decision, which shows the other side's determination to fight to the death.

Wu Yanhai no longer hesitated and said solemnly: "General, I am willing to cover the retreat of the army!"

At this moment, a look of wanting to die appeared on his face.

After the destruction of the Tiger and Leopard Camp, the Jing army had lost its greatest support. At least in the current situation, the Jing army had no weapons to intimidate the Qi army, and the outcome was already doomed.

No matter how unwilling he was, Wu Yanhai had to face this reality. "Retreat?"

Wu Yanshu glanced at the Qi infantrymen who had returned from the south and gritted his teeth and said, "If we retreat now, everything will be over."

Wu Yanhai looked puzzled. The commander had just ordered twenty of his personal soldiers to withdraw to the western front in advance to report the news. This should be a plan to retreat.

Of course he knew that retreating at this time would only lead to a frantic pursuit by the Qi army, and it was unknown how many people would survive, but if he continued to insist, it was very likely that the entire army would be wiped out.

"The enemy is targeting me, so they will do their best to besiege this place. Don't worry about my life or death. Lead your elite cavalry to continue south, pass by the flank of the enemy's Guangji Army, and go straight to the flag of Lu Chen, the commander of the Southern Qi!"

Wu Yanshu held the hilt of the sword and said resolutely: "This is the only chance!"

Wu Yanhai was startled, and then a tragic and heroic spirit surged in his chest. He bowed his head and said, "I will obey your orders!"

Wu Yanshu drew out his sword and said word by word: "I will fight to the bitter end with my soldiers. You just need to keep going forward. If in the end, you can't do anything, you——"

He looked at his most trusted nephew, stepped forward and said, "You lead your soldiers to the south, then go east to join the Eastern Route Army. Tell His Majesty that Wu Yanshu has dedicated his life to the country and will never live in disgrace!"

"Yes!"

Wu Yanhai's voice trembled, then he turned around with red eyes, mounted his horse and galloped away.

Returning to the cavalry formation, he roared: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

In this chaotic and noisy battlefield, the remaining 4,000 cavalrymen of the Jing army, led by Wu Yanhai, rode their horses and launched a decisive charge to the south!

They passed through the gap between the Guangji Army and the Qingxu Army, rushing forward like a whirlwind, almost brushing past the Guangji Army!

This sudden change was completely unexpected for Fan Wendi. At this moment, he was leading the Guangji Army northwards towards the center of Jing Army. In a hurry, he was unable to stop the light cavalry of Jing Army. He could only watch them pass by and rush straight towards his own center.

Looking down from the air, one can see that the Jing army's formation has been squeezed into an oval. The Da Qi Dingbei Army, Feiyu Army, Anping Army, Qingxu Army and Linghuai Army are surrounding and attacking from all directions. As long as the Guangji Army blocks the last gap, the encirclement will be formed. At that time, the Jing army will either fight to the death or pay a heavy price to break out in a certain direction.

Just before the Qi army was about to close in, the Jing army's light cavalry flew out of the encirclement like a sharp arrow and shot towards the Qi army's flag south of the Guangji army.

At this time, Liu Shouguang had already sent out all his reserve troops, and there were only more than 2,000 long sword soldiers around the general's flag.

Looking at the Jingjun cavalry galloping over, Lu Chen's eyes were filled with solemnity, but he still gave the order decisively: "Order the entire army to continue the attack!"

Liu Shouguang did not dare to refute, and the command immediately resounded between heaven and earth.

Wu Yanhai had a stern expression and gritted his teeth as he spurred his horse.

He is not afraid of death. As long as he can complete the military orders issued by the commander-in-chief, he is willing to pay with his life.

Looking at the Qi army's flag standing in the distance, he summoned all his strength and shouted, "Kill!"

More than four thousand riders rolled away like a tide.

At the same time, in the northeast corner of the battlefield.

Li Bingxue personally led the Feiyu Army to charge towards the Jing Army's position.

She charged forward, wielding her lance, and the horse under her crotch leaped up its front hooves as if it had a spirit, avoiding the long spears that were stabbed at her by the Jing army's infantry.

The mount neighed and landed steadily. Li Bingxue swung the lance in his hand forward, knocking down five or six enemy soldiers in an instant.

The Feiyu Army rushed towards the Jing Army's position like a huge wave, and the soldiers desperately tried to shake the enemy's formation. Although they did not have the terrifying impact of the heavy cavalry, at this point in the battle, the Jing Army's infantry was already very tired and was almost relying on one breath to hold on.

Li Bingxue continued to move forward, with the general flag behind her leading nearly 10,000 cavalrymen to continuously press the Jing army until -

She suddenly turned her head and looked far to the left, that was the moment!
The Feiyu Army's flag suddenly moved to the flank. Li Bingxue used herself as the tip of the spear and rushed towards the junction of the Jing Army's rear army and the left wing. Huangfu Yu and other generals had already received her orders, so they would not hesitate at this time.

The wind was howling, and Li Bingxue's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She had noticed earlier that the connection between the Jing army was not tight enough, because at the beginning Wu Yanshu ordered the left and right wings to advance, while the rear army had been protecting the commander's flag, and was unable to form a tight formation in the subsequent fierce battle.

During the Battle of Guangling, the Feiyu Battalion first attacked the Jing Army and then the Yan Army, thus breaking through the enemy's weakest point in one fell swoop.

The same is true today!
The Feiyu Army, led by Li Bingxue, pierced into the flank of the Jing Army like a spear, and then stirred and tore it apart fiercely.

Blood spurted out, and a gap was finally torn in the Jing army's formation that could never be closed.

At this time, the more than 4,000 cavalry led by Wu Yanhai were blocked by the Long Sword Army and had not yet found the way to victory.

"kill!"

Li Bingxue raised his lance vigorously, took the lead, and was invincible!
Break the formation!

foregone conclusion!
