Chapter 937 935 [The Brave Wins When They Meet on a Narrow Road]

The situation on the battlefield was complicated. Even a genius with a sharp vision like Emperor Jing could not see every detail, especially when Lu Chen deliberately concealed it, it was even more impossible for him to see it clearly.

For example, when the Qi army's vanguard was pressing forward just now, the Changdao army, as the spearhead, took on the important task of advancing forward, the Guangling army used the small Sancai formation to tear apart the Jing army's formation, and the Fengfu army was more responsible for covering the two wings.

In other words, Lu Chen was trying his best to preserve the strength of the Fengfu Army.

During the counterattack by Jing's army, Guangling's army was responsible for delaying the attack, so the losses of Fengfu's army were not serious.

Until this moment, more than 40,000 Jing troops pressed forward in a massive manner, intending to break through the Qi army's position in one fell swoop.

Xu Gui stood in front of the Fengfu Army. After his comrades from the Changdao Army and the Guangling Army retreated into the formation, he stared at the Jing Army infantrymen who were following them like a surging wave. At a glance, he saw the vanguard general's flag dozens of feet away.

He knew that the vanguard general of the Jing Army under his command was named Su Bolunian, and he also knew that the other side was a brave man who should not be underestimated. However, he had experienced countless hardships in his life. From the time he could not survive and became a bandit, to being subdued by Li Tianrun and joining the army, he had experienced the most difficult years of the Da Qi Dynasty and fought against countless fierce enemies. He had never retreated and hibernated, and had never been timid or fearful.

It's just death, what is there to be afraid of?
The general, who did not look very strong and powerful, clenched his sword tightly, looked at the endless Jing army rushing towards him, a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he took a step forward more than three feet, waving his sword and charging forward!
A strong personal soldier carried the general's flag in both hands and followed closely behind him, leading all the soldiers of the Fengfu Army to deal with the most dangerous situation since the war began.

On one side is the Jing army that has returned and vowed to break the formation, and on the other side is the Qi army that is gritting its teeth and holding on without giving an inch. This brutal battle that is destined to go down in history begins with the first sharp sword flash swung by Xu Gui!

When the broadsword was about to fall, the Jing army infantryman at the front thrust his spear towards Xu Gui's chest.

However, the speed was too slow, and the sword fell when the spear was halfway there.

The spear in the hand of the Jing army infantryman who was charging suddenly fell to the ground, but his body still maintained the momentum of rushing forward. However, the knife light entered his left shoulder and came out from his right waist. Blood was dripping from the blade, and the upper body of the Jing army infantryman was broken into two halves, with his internal organs and intestines all over the ground!
Xu Gui's hair and beard stood out, like a demon from the underworld!
He did not stop, but rushed forward, taking advantage of the moment when the second Jing army soldier in front of him was stunned, and slashed down again with his sword.

The soldier only had time to raise his spear to block, but Xu Gui chopped off his spear and left arm with one blow. Before he could even let out a howl, Xu Gui stepped forward, all his strength gushing out, like a murderous beast with bloodshot eyes, crashing into the enemy's chest.

The shout of Jing Jun's infantryman came to an abrupt halt, as if someone had grabbed his throat. His chest collapsed and his body flew backwards like a piece of rag, hitting several of his comrades. He was dead when he landed on the ground, his eyes were still wide open, showing fear and horror.

In a melee of this scale, a fight in one place would not have affected the overall situation. However, Xu Gui rushed forward with his sword and killed twelve Jing army soldiers in a short while. Not only did the surrounding Fengfu army soldiers boil with blood, but the Jing army in the middle also stopped involuntarily, and they almost had no courage to look at this Qi army general.

It was as if he would eat you alive if you just looked at him!
"Come and fight!"

Xu Gui shouted with disdain and continued to move forward, his body covered in blood showing his endless murderous intent.

Under his selfless leadership, the Fengfu Army actually managed to stand firm in an absolutely disadvantageous situation!

Until a general of the Jing army appeared in front of him.

Because of the fruitless first battle and the defeat in the counterattack just now, Su Bolunian was also very angry. At this moment, seeing Xu Gui, who was killing gods and Buddhas, and the other party advancing instead of retreating, and killing him in front of him with unparalleled bravery, how could he continue to remain calm? He even threw Abuhan's advice to the back of his mind. When the two sides' personal armies were fighting each other, he raised the mace in his hand and went to meet them.

In terms of bravery alone, Su Bolunian and Xu Gui were actually not much different. Their swords and maces kept hitting each other, splashing countless sparks.

The two seemed to have forgotten the current battle situation and only had each other in their eyes.

For Xu Gui, his mission was to lead the Fengfu Army to block the counterattack of the Jing Army, wait for the Changdao Army and the Guangling Army to retreat for a temporary rest, and transfer the Zhenwei Army to support the formation. However, he knew that it would be difficult to do this by simply passively defending. After all, with more than 40,000 elite soldiers of the Jing Army pressing forward with all their strength, the pressure on the Fengfu Army was unimaginable, so he had to find another way and find the only chance of victory in the desperate situation.

Su Bolunian had a different emotion in his heart. The pent-up anger during this period made him a little impatient, especially since Xu Gui was able to withstand his continuous attacks. The opponent's general flag remained standing, and the Fengfu army gradually stabilized its formation. He wished he could smash Xu Gui to death with a stick.

"what!"

The tiger general let out a roar and swung the mace in his hand down on the head with the force of wind and thunder.

Seeing that the time had come and the opponent was furious because of his provocation, Xu Gui immediately stepped aside and swept away with the sword in his hand.

Su Bolunian was not an incompetent person. He immediately turned his mace to block Xu Gui's sword, then took a big step forward. Then he saw Xu Gui using the same method to approach him.

The next moment, Xu Gui suddenly let go of the knife handle and rushed to Su Bolunian at lightning speed. He controlled Su Bolunian's right arm with one hand and clenched the other hand into a fist. At the critical moment, he used all his strength to hit Su Bolunian's Adam's apple.

Amid the noisy battlefield, there was a crisp sound of shattering.

"die!"

Xu Gui grinned grimly and punched Su Bolunian in the face again, smashing it into pieces.

Su Bolunian fell backwards on his back, and Xu Gui tiptoed and the sword returned to his hand.

Just at this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air.

"General, be careful!"

The rapid roar of the personal soldiers was heard behind him.

Xu Gui only had time to turn his head slightly before an arrow shot into his brow. If he hadn't reacted, the arrow would have pierced through his brow, and even a god would have been unable to save him!

The soldiers looked over nervously, but heard Xu Gui laughing. He then raised his hand, grasped the arrow, and pulled it out suddenly!
The arrow blew off his eyelid, and his face was immediately covered in blood, looking extremely horrified.

Xu Gui seemed to feel no pain at all. He thrust his sword forward without hesitation. Under the gaze of the frightened Jing army soldiers, he chopped down Su Bolunian's flag with one blow. He then shouted sternly: "A man of the Great Qi will fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Inspired by their commander's bravery, the soldiers of Fengfu Army shouted loudly and fought hard with the enemies in front of them. At this moment, no one was afraid anymore. Facing the densely packed and seemingly endless enemies in front of them, they waved their weapons and refused to retreat!

If the weapons are blunt, they still have fists and teeth!

Xu Gui single-handedly brought out the passion and heroism of the Fengfu Army, and actually blocked the oppression of more than 40,000 Jing troops, and never gave up his position!

This scene brought tears to the eyes of the Zhenwei army soldiers who came to support from the rear, and made the Jing army at the front line terrified. If the Qi army was like this, how could they win the battle?
Under the central army's royal flag, Lu Chen stared intently at the battle ahead. No one knew that his hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves.

No one can remain indifferent to such a tragic scene, but for the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he must bear such torment and must watch his soldiers fighting to the death, because this battle is far from over. If the Emperor of Jingguo cannot be detained today, there will be countless wars in the future, and countless passionate men will die on the battlefield.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, shifted his gaze away from the battle, and looked towards the main camp of the Jing army in the distance.

The bravery of the Qi army also surprised Emperor Jing, and at this moment his expression finally became serious.

He and Lu Chen had been competing in patience. He originally thought that more than 40,000 people were enough to disrupt the formation of the Qi army. If not to defeat the enemy once and for all, at least to force out Lu Chen's trump card. Unexpectedly, the other party could accomplish such an incredible feat, using more than 10,000 people to block more than 40,000 people. Even if it was only for a moment, it was already invaluable for the entire war!
Listening to the report from the front line, Emperor Jing's mind raced.

The enemy's Changdao Army and Guangling Army retreated to rest, while the Fengfu Army and Zhenwei Army formed a defense line, blocking the Jing Army's infantry in front of the position, and a delicate balance was formed between the two sides.

Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult to determine the winner of the fight between the infantry in a short period of time. However, the Qi army no longer has the strength to launch another counterattack. Relying on its strong military advantage, the infantry of the Jing army should be able to gradually gain the upper hand.

"Send a message to Asugai to lead out the Qi army's Feiyu cavalry."

At the command of Emperor Jing, the flags were waved.

On the right wing of the battlefield, the cavalry of the Jing army, which had been recuperating for a long time, was boosted in spirits. Under the leadership of their commander Asugei, they quickly swept towards the right wing of the Qi army.

Thousands of riders rushed forward, raising a cloud of flying dust.

At a time when the infantry formations of the two armies were in a stalemate, the attack of Jing's 10,000-man cavalry force was enough to shake the overall situation.

A moment later, Emperor Jing received a report that the Feiyu Army of Qi decisively met the attack and engaged in a battle with the cavalry led by Asugei on the right side of the battlefield.

He sat back under the canopy, calmly observing the situation on the two battlefields, and patiently waiting for subsequent developments.

Seeing this, Sagai said cautiously, "Your Majesty, perhaps Lu Chen is deliberately creating confusion. In fact, he has no unexpected killer moves, and he deliberately uses this head-on method to fight our army. In the end, even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory, and it will be difficult to further threaten Southern Qi Dingzhou and Huaizhou."

Emperor Jing looked at him expressionlessly and said calmly, "Watch carefully."

Sagai didn't dare to say much and just lowered his head in agreement.

Not long after, Emperor Jing received another urgent message.

"Your Majesty, General Asugai has already led the Feiyu Army of Southern Qi away from their positions!"

Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and finally breathed a sigh of relief after the war began.

This method of feigning defeat to lure the enemy into a fight was Asugei's specialty, and was also the key point that Emperor Jingdi repeatedly reminded him of.

He looked at the cavalry battlefield in the distance where smoke was rising, and said in a deep voice: "Send a message to Sepuli to lead the troops to pass behind the infantry and attack the Feiyu Army of Southern Qi together with Asugei!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The officer turned and left.

Soon after, another 10,000-man Jing army force, led by its main general Sepuli, which had been waiting on the left side of the Jing army's main camp, passed through the back of the more than 40,000 infantry led by Abuhan at an incredibly fast speed, and rushed away like a sharp arrow.

The 20,000 light cavalry of the Jing army were like sharp fangs, trapping the Feiyu army of the Great Qi in the middle!
