Jiuxi

Chapter 940 938 [Sacrificing One's Life for the National Disaster]

On the battlefield, a single move can affect the entire body.

The reason why Emperor Jingdi decided to lead the entire army forward was because Lu Chen did not use the Dingbei cavalry, which showed that he understood the priorities, and further explained that the Qi army did not dare to take risks, and that the two sides would ultimately have to rely on hard power to determine the winner - which meant that the Feiyu army could only save itself.

This is not an easy thing to do.

Sepuli was brave and fierce, while Asugei was cautious and self-restrained. The two of them worked together almost perfectly. They led their elite cavalry to surround the Feiyu Army in the middle, gradually narrowing the encirclement.

The situation is becoming increasingly difficult, but Li Bingxue and the Feiyu Army soldiers will not give in.

Ever since the Feiyu Army was formed, these Jingzhou men have been active on the border. Initially, they fought with the pseudo-Yan border army. When the Yan army dared not show up, the Jing army's cavalry came to kill them again. It seemed that the fierce battles would never stop, one after another.

Until now, they have been able to put life and death aside. Moreover, Li Bingxue, as the only remaining seed of the Li family in the army, still lives and dies with them.

However, Li Bingxue always believed that he could lead them to find a way out.

Where is the road?

Li Bingxue rode her horse forward, waving the lance in her hand continuously, and almost no Jing army could resist her. At the same time, she was carefully observing the situation around her.

Once the cavalry is caught in a positional battle, it will be difficult to speed up. This state of you in me and I in me can roughly be described as a jagged pattern. The Feiyu Army has been able to barely maintain a relatively tight formation until now, which is actually very difficult. This is mainly due to the fact that Li Bingxue is strong enough. The general flag standing behind her can serve as a guide for the entire army.

The two Jing army cavalry units intentionally forced the Feiyu army to move northward, so that they would be further and further away from the main camp of the Qi army.

Li Bingxue took a deep breath, wiped her face with her hand, and then pulled the reins hard, and the mount that accompanied her in her battles across the country turned to the southeast.

That was the direction that Jing’s cavalry focused on blocking.

"Follow me—"

Li Bingxue raised his head and said to the soldiers behind him in a concise and powerful voice: "Kill them!"

"kill!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Li Bingxue squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, and the mount neighed and moved forward. More than a dozen Jing army cavalrymen formed a formation to block the front.

But seeing the horse charging towards them, Li Bingxue thrust the lance in her hand forward with endless power, and the tip of the lance pierced into the chest of a Jing army cavalryman without any delay, like a steel knife piercing tofu. The cavalryman didn't even have time to let out a howl before his body was already flying into the air.

Li Bingxue suddenly exerted force, lifted up the enemy's body and smashed it forward.

Smash a gap out of nowhere!
Although the Jing army is fierce, they are not beasts without any emotional fluctuations. Even if they are really beasts, they will be afraid when facing such a powerful and terrifying opponent.

Relying on this life-burning overbearing offensive, Li Bingxue managed to tear a small hole in the Jing army's thick formation, and then continued to ride forward, leading hundreds of fierce guards to blaze a bloody trail and point the way for the soldiers behind.

The road was covered in blood, people kept falling down, and Li Bingxue was also injured in many places.

The flag of the Jing army cavalry can be vaguely seen in front.

A murderous look flashed in Li Bingxue's eyes, but as if guessing her intention, the general's flag actually moved slowly to the back.

Under the general's flag, Asugai had a stern expression. He certainly knew that if he could kill or capture Li Bingxue alive, the Feiyu Army of Southern Qi would surely be defeated. But he would not take risks while he had the advantage. If he made a mistake, the morale of his own army would surely be shaken. So how could he act on his impulse?

He raised his eyes to the north, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up.

"Come on!"

As roars resounded throughout the battlefield, another general of the Jing army, Sepuri, holding a spear, led more than a thousand elite soldiers under his command to attack from the side.

At this moment, with Li Bingxue's selfless efforts, the Feiyu Army reorganized its formation with great difficulty and charged into the Asugai unit of the Jing Army. The obstacles ahead were becoming thinner and thinner, and perhaps they could break out of the encirclement if they held on for a while longer.

However, Sepuri seized the opportunity and attacked, like a knife cutting into the waist of Feiyu Army. At this time, Feiyu Army had only two choices: either continue to move forward regardless of the consequences and escape at a heavy price, but they might also be cut off by the opponent.

Another option is to temporarily stop moving forward and further gather the formation to deal with the strong enemy, but this means that their previous efforts will be wasted.

Li Bingxue tightly gripped the lance. She had seen that Sepuli was much more ferocious than an ordinary person. If she wanted to maintain her momentum and stop the opponent, she might have to fight him in person. But if she went over, how could she break through the formation of Jing's army in front?

Just at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the side and rear.

"Miss!"

Li Bingxue turned her head suddenly and vaguely saw the tall and strong man leading the troops to charge. She couldn't help but shout loudly: "Huangfu!"

Huangfu Yu, deputy commander of the Feiyu Army, called out to Li Bingxue as he did in Jingzhou that year. He stared at Sepuri who was coming from a distance and shouted, "Miss, I'm leaving my brat in the care of you and the prince. Tell him that his father died for the country!"

"Die for your country!"

The hundreds of cavalrymen following Huangfu Yu roared in unison. They were already clear about their responsibilities, which was to block the elite cavalry of Jing army coming from the side and create precious space for the main force to break out.

Huangfu Yu held a spear in his hand, laughed fiercely, and roared at Sepuri, "Kill!"

"kill!"

Hundreds of riders went crazy and charged forward fearlessly.

At this moment, Li Bingxue felt endless pain in her chest, as if her internal organs were being torn apart alive. She turned around, looked at the Jing army in front of her with red eyes, and shouted almost miserably: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!" In the distance, under the flag of the Jing army, Asugei's face suddenly changed.

Li Bingxue took the lead, no longer holding back. The domineering lance brought about a huge wave, just as she declared among the thousands of troops, whoever dared to stop her would be crushed to pieces!

Chaos suddenly cleared and light appeared.

Li Bingxue forced a gap in the Jing army's thick encirclement, and following her steps, the main force of the Feiyu army rushed out!

However, in a corner of the battlefield, hundreds of cavalrymen died one after another. At the moment when Huangfu Yu was pierced through the chest by the spear in Sepuli's hand, the spear almost cut through the opponent's waist at the same time.

Sepuli roared angrily and suddenly pulled out his spear, raising a cloud of blood mist. Then he covered the wound on his waist and gritted his teeth as he looked at the Feiyu Army that broke through the siege in the distance.

Huangfu Yu turned his head with difficulty and a relieved smile appeared on that hideous face.

In the shining winter sun, he slowly crouched on the horse's back.

Heroic and martyred for the country.

……

If the duel between the cavalry of the two armies was the collision of torrents, then the fight between the infantry was the wrestling between giant beasts.

When the sixth 10,000-man squadron of the Jing army charged into the battlefield, Abuhan immediately understood the emperor's intention, so he further extended the battle line, using his superior military strength to continuously pressure the Qi army's positions, creating a life-and-death gap of hundreds of feet.

The Jing army roared and advanced forward, and the Qi army had no choice but to fight to the death.

The soldiers of Fengfu Army and Zhenwei Army were so bloodthirsty that they had no idea how long this fierce battle would last. They only knew that if they took a step back they would be sentenced to death.

It's a death sentence anyway. Rather than bear the blame for retreating at the critical moment and implicating my family, it's better to fight the enemy and die together.

With this idea in mind, they finally gritted their teeth and held the front line until reinforcements arrived from the rear.

The Ruyin army, which had been gathering strength for a long time, under the leadership of its commander Huo Zhen, supported its struggling comrades from three directions and quickly joined the battle.

Huo Zhen also brought an order, forcing the Fengfu Army's commander Xu Gui, who was wounded in more than ten places and looked as if he had been soaked in a pool of blood, to retreat.

"Old Huo, don't let the prince down!"

Xu Gui, whose steps were already staggering, did not forget to give a warning.

Huo Zhen didn't answer, just waved his hand.

The two of them had led troops to fight the enemy together under Li Tianrun. Xu Gui had saved Huo Zhen twice, and Huo Zhen had saved Xu Gui four times. They were close friends who trusted each other with their lives, so there was no need for further explanation.

Huo Zhen looked at the surging momentum of the Jing army in front of him, his expression gradually became stern, and then he commanded the entire army to fight while slowly retreating.

The morale of the Jing army's infantry suddenly rose because the emperor's canopy had arrived at the main battlefield, right behind them.

Listening to the majestic drumbeats and thinking that the emperor was watching from behind, the soldiers of Jing army rushed towards the Qi army's position like roaring tigers and wolves, regardless of their own safety.

At this point in the battle, the balance of victory finally tilted towards Jing's army.

But Emperor Jing's expression remained calm, without any trace of arrogance.

The battle situation in various places was transmitted like flowing water.

On the battlefield of the cavalry duel in the east, although the Feiyu Army of Southern Qi suffered heavy losses, it was eventually broken through by Li Bingxue. The two cavalry units of the Jing Army were in hot pursuit, and both sides began to move south. Judging from the movements of the Feiyu Army, they wanted to return to their camp as soon as possible and get rid of the pursuit of the Jing Army cavalry with the cover of their own infantry.

On the main battlefield, Abuhan did not disappoint Emperor Jing. He used the sixth 10,000-man team as the tip of a knife and launched a fierce attack on the right wing of the Qi army which had no cavalry support. It was obvious that the right wing of the Qi army was gradually loosening.

Emperor Jing gave the drumstick to Sagai, asking him to continue beating the drum to cheer for the troops. Then he took a look at the Qi army's still tight formation and said loudly: "Send the order to Yongji. I want him to lead the troops forward immediately and attack the rear of the Qi army!"

Lu Chen led his army to form a fish scale formation today. Emperor Jing certainly knew that the weakness of this formation was at the tail. He had not been aiming at this place. It was not because he was being overconfident or forgetful before the battle, but because he was just waiting for the most appropriate opportunity.

This is the moment.

Emperor Jing's decree quickly spread far and wide.

At the rear of Jing's army formation, there was a silent cavalry waiting patiently, like a tiger or wolf quietly watching its prey.

The commander of this cavalry unit was named Alihe Yongji, who was 35 years old at the time and the only grandson of Emperor Jingdi's second uncle.

His grandfather was beheaded by Yang Guangyuan of Southern Qi among tens of thousands of soldiers, and since then he has become the greatest shame of the Jinglian family.

Yongji received the order, a cruel and violent smile appeared on his face, and he rode his horse and held his spear slowly forward.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"Wait!"

"Kill Lu Chen and defeat the Qi army!"

Under his leadership, this 10,000-strong cavalry force launched a fierce attack, heading all the way south!
