Chapter 941 939 [Seeing Death as Returning Home]

The weakness of the fish scale formation lies at the tail, and Emperor Jing knew this very well. How could Lu Chen, who set up this formation, not know this?

When the 10,000-man cavalry unit of the Jing Army, which had been patiently waiting for orders, finally showed their fangs and charged forward to the west of the battlefield, Lu Chen saw through the opponent's intention at a glance.

Judging from the current situation, Jing’s army has gradually gained the upper hand and is turning this advantage into final victory.

"You are more patient than I thought. You are still so cautious at times like this. No wonder Qing Yugong has been suppressed by you for so many years."

Lu Chen muttered to himself. When the Feiyu Army was struggling to survive and the Qi Army's infantry was at a disadvantage, Emperor Jing remained methodical and did not hastily use his trump card. Such a calm and composed person was rare in the world. At least in previous wars, no Jing Army commander had ever put so much pressure on Lu Chen.

Including Qing Yugong who was outside Yongqiu City at that time.

It is easy to say "calm", but it is extremely difficult to actually do it.

Especially since Lu Chen was the biggest threat to Jing State, when it was possible to deal with him, Emperor Jing was able to suppress the impulse in his heart and did not throw away all the chips in his hand. Instead, like a hunter with a will as strong as iron, he calmly used the tactic of adding fuel to the fire and forced Lu Chen's back-up plan little by little.

He will not give his all until Lu Chen has no chance of reversing the situation.

Judging from the course of this battle alone, Emperor Jing can be regarded as a famous general of the time, and is definitely not inferior to Qing Yugong.

Fortunately, Lu Chen had been planning for this battle for half a year. During this period, he kept collecting intelligence about Emperor Jing and regarded him as his strongest opponent in his life. He studied every decree and every move he made over the past twenty years and even deduced the opponent's tactical style in his dreams.

These past events flashed through Lu Chen's mind. He glanced at the Dingbei Army in the distance and then said loudly: "Send an order. The Guangling Army will go to the left wing to defend, the Panlong Army will go to the right wing to defend, and the Fengfu, Ruyin, and Zhenwei armies will fight and retreat to lure the enemy deeper."

Wang Jun and others immediately agreed.

As Lu Chen's order spread, the overall formation of the Qi army began to change. The two wings stretched outward, while the three armies in the front, including Feng Fu, continued to gather together, gradually changing from being slender and compact at the beginning to stretching to both sides.

This change was not obvious, at least not noticeable to Alihe Yongji, who led 10,000 cavalrymen south.

Soon after the war began, Emperor Jing secretly ordered Yongji to accumulate strength and attack the rear of the Qi army at the critical moment.

Although the goal is clear, Yongji will not act rashly, because he has seen that the Dingbei Army, which has also been patient for a long time, has begun to gather and seems to be coming to intercept.

Yongji did not want to expose his purpose easily, so he led his cavalry to continue to detour westward.

Compared with the fierce fighting between the two cavalry armies on the eastern battlefield, the two cavalry armies on the west side appeared to be particularly cautious.

Yongji tried to cover up, but Li Chengen was not in a hurry. Under their leadership, the two cavalry units started a fight like fish swimming in the water.

The two armies never had close contact from beginning to end, they only competed in riding and archery skills and discipline. Amid the rain of arrows, the two armies would immediately separate whenever they were about to get close.

As time went by, Yongji gradually felt surprised. He was very clear about the strength of the 10,000 cavalrymen under his command. They were the best among the emperor's personal army. Almost every cavalryman had been selected and had excellent abilities in all aspects, so they were kept by the emperor as a trump card.

However, the performance of the Dingbei Army on the opposite side has been no less impressive so far, and they are on par with the Jing Army in terms of horse control, archery, and formation.

In short, the strength of the Dingbei Army is even greater than that of the Feiyu Army!
Yongji was not an ignorant child. This judgment made him worried, because Lu Chen of Southern Qi, with such a strong army, actually watched the Feiyu Army suffer heavy casualties in an extremely cold-blooded manner, which meant that he must have other intentions.

However, Yongji couldn't go back home at this time. He looked at the main camp of the Qi army in the distance, and then looked at the Dingbei army that had crossed and been left behind, and gritted his teeth and said, "Forward!"

After a period of dazzling maneuvers, the Jing army cavalry finally found the best opportunity. Under the leadership of Yongji, they suddenly accelerated and rushed straight to the south.

The Dingbei Army was mobilized in the completely opposite direction by them, and was unable to turn around immediately.

In the biting cold wind, Yongji's heart was burning, and even his lips trembled slightly involuntarily, because the road ahead was smooth and no force could stop him from going to the rear of the Qi army!
At this moment, the past events emerged in his mind. When Yang Guangyuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty was just a rookie, he led a thousand cavalrymen on a long-distance raid and killed his grandfather among thousands of soldiers, thus creating a shocking reputation.

Today he would personally wash away this shame, break through the weakest rear of the Qi army, and kill Lu Chen with his sword!
Nearly ten thousand light cavalry stirred up a cloud of flying dust and rushed towards the rear of the Qi army at high speed!

At the same time, on the battlefield in the east, the Feiyu Army, which had fought its way out of a bloody battle, fought and retreated, moving southward with great difficulty, with two Jing Army cavalry units chasing closely behind them.

Judging from the casualties alone, the Jing army actually did not gain much advantage, because the Feiyu army inflicted heavy damage on the Asugai unit at the very beginning, and did not collapse in the subsequent fighting, maintaining a strong fighting spirit from beginning to end.

As Sepuli watched the Feiyu Army in front of him getting more and more embarrassed, the pain from the wound on his waist continued to come, which made him look more and more ferocious. At this time, except for Emperor Jing, no one could stop him from chasing the Qi Army. Under his leadership, the Jing Army cavalry bit the tail of the Feiyu Army tightly and kept approaching the right wing of the Qi Army.

Asugei did not stop them because he had already judged the current situation and the Qi army was trapped in a stranglehold by his own side.

Especially when he learned that Yongji was leading his troops to attack the rear of the Qi army, Asugei finally suppressed the hesitation in his heart and led the troops to charge together with Sepuri.

He knew that the Feiyu Army wanted to retreat into the Qi Army's formation and let the infantry provide support and cover, thus gaining a chance of survival.

In this case, they must take advantage of the situation and use the Feiyu Army's retreat to directly break through the Qi Army's right wing!
For the Qi army, this battle has reached its most dangerous moment.

At the Jing army position, under the emperor's canopy, Emperor Jing, who had been standing there since the moment he issued the order to Yongji to lead the troops to attack, was looking ahead. Even though he had an extraordinary will, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster at this moment.

The tenacity of the Qi army was somewhat beyond his expectations, but ultimately due to their disadvantage in military strength, they gradually fell into an embarrassing situation of being stretched to the limit.

"Report!" A ranger came galloping over and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Southern Qi Dingbei Army is attacking the Central Army!"

Emperor Jing had a calm expression on his face. He turned his head to look to the west. After being fooled and thrown away by Yongji's troops, the elite cavalry of Qi army did not turn back to rescue. Instead, they continued to move north and charge towards the center of Jing army, as if they wanted to use this method to force Yongji's troops to turn back.

"Is this your plan?"

Emperor Jing looked at the two armies fighting fiercely in the south. His sight seemed to pass through thousands of troops and landed under the king's flag of the Qi army. He then said, "You are trying to find a way to hook out my trump card, and then use this Dingbei army to complete the fatal blow? Your courage is commendable, but that's all."

Although he could not see the whole picture, a complete picture had already emerged in his mind.

The Yongji tribe was about to attack the weakest tail of the Qi army, the Asugai tribe and the Sepuri tribe were about to attack the right wing of the Qi army, and the infantry led by Abuhan continued to advance forward.

The overall situation has been decided.

Emperor Jing no longer hesitated and said loudly: "Order Abuhan to clear the middle road, and the infantry will launch a general attack on both wings!"

Various means of communication were used at the same time. The infantry commander Abuhan, who had been patiently waiting for orders, grinned and immediately gave orders.

Emperor Jing no longer paid attention to the Dingbei Army and said proudly: "Your Majesty, please go forward and supervise the battle. Send another order, the Dragon Riders, mount their horses and charge into the center of the Qi Army!"

As the magnificent trumpet sounded between heaven and earth, five thousand personal soldiers escorted the emperor's canopy and headed south again, while the infantry of Jing army suddenly changed their formation and moved to both sides, leaving an area in the center of the battlefield, and then put all their efforts into attacking the two wings of Qi army.

Huagai continued to move forward and entered the Jing army's formation, making it impossible for the Dingbei army to forcibly break through the opponent's infantry formation.

The situation changed suddenly, and the soldiers around Emperor Jing once again moved to the sides. Then, a terrifying army appeared in front of the Qi army.

Wearing black armor and holding a spear, he is the Dajinglongqi, the most powerful heavy cavalry in the world!

This is Emperor Jing’s real killer move!
This is the moment of the final battle!

At this moment, the Qi army seemed to be caught in a dragnet.

Except for the left wing, the other three sides were surrounded by powerful and fierce enemies.

To the rear of the formation, 10,000 elite cavalry led by Alihe Yongji have arrived. They are bound to launch a desperate offensive in the shortest possible time, striving to destroy the rear of the Qi army in one fell swoop.

On the right wing of the formation, the Feiyu Army came in a panic, and behind them were the Jing Army cavalry with a murderous look on their faces.

In front of the formation, tens of thousands of infantrymen broke through the walls from both wings, and in the middle there was a black armored army consisting of three thousand heavy cavalry.

The Qi army soldiers showed a determined determination to die on their faces. They knew there was no way to retreat and they had no choice but to fight to the end.

Under the central army's royal flag, Xu Gui, who had been roughly bandaged by the army doctor, listened to the officers' report to Lu Chen and suddenly laughed softly, "Your Majesty, I can die without regrets for being able to participate in this unprecedented war."

"You must stay alive and witness the victory of Da Qi with your own eyes."

To Xu Gui's surprise, Lu Chen actually heard him talking to himself.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the young and upright prince with admiration.

Lu Chen said no more and exchanged glances with the figure in the distance. After the other person nodded heavily, he walked to the drum stand, took the drumsticks and raised his arm.

The hammer fell, and his extremely loud voice rang out.

"Da Qi will win!"

With the help of the internal energy of the Shangxuan Sutra, his roar reached the ears of most of the Qi army soldiers.

The drums started again.

"Da Qi will win!"

Huo Zhen, He Gui, Liu Yin, Lu Jing and Xu Gui who was lying there roared in unison.

"Da Qi will win!"

Start again.

The soldiers of the Fengfu Army, Guangling Army, Ruyin Army, Panlong Army, Zhenwei Army, the Dingbei Army in the distance, and even the Feiyu Army who were struggling to survive, burst out from their chests.

"Da Qi will win!"

Thousands of shouts gathered together, making the world tremble!
