Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 579: Battle of Luoyang (V)

"No, the Wei army is trying to make another heroic move."

Feng Xi noticed the unusual movements of the Wei army and frowned. It was obvious that the Wei army wanted to use the 20,000 people in front of them as a rear guard to cover the other large troops to retreat into Luoyang city.

"I hope Jiang Wei can react, otherwise it will be a big loss."

Feng Xi muttered to himself, and probably guessed what the Wei army was thinking now. It was probably that Cao Zhen saw that he could not gain an advantage on the front battlefield, so he simply used some soldiers to resist the Han army and try to sneak into Luoyang City from the north gate before the Han army withdrew its hands.

"Let the front line immediately defeat the Wei army in front of them, and then attack the retreating Wei army. Don't let them return to Luoyang City!"

As Feng Xi's order was passed down, the Shenwu Camp attacked even harder, making Zhang He's troops, which were already at a disadvantage, like rootless duckweed in a storm, constantly washed by the white waves.

Fortunately, Zhang He was a man of extraordinary ability. He personally led more than a thousand soldiers and horses like a fire brigade on the battlefield, checking for deficiencies and filling gaps everywhere, making the Shenwu Camp somewhat difficult to capture for a while.

"What's going on? Why can they be held back by the 20,000 Wei troops?"

Feng Xi saw from afar that the Han army was like chewing a piece of smelly and hard stone, and it was difficult to swallow the Wei army that was left behind, and he couldn't help but frown. The combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Camp was unquestionable, but it was really wrong that it was so difficult to face this Wei army.

"Grand Commander, maybe the enemy generals are so capable that the two generals can't find any chance."

Ma Su could see clearly from the high platform that there was a troop of troops in the Wei army that provided support back and forth. Wherever the Han army was about to break through, this troop would appear there, leaving the Han army in a desperate situation and at a loss as to what to do.

"There is such a capable person under Cao Zhen's command? Who could it be... Guo Huai? Or Zhang He?"

Feng Xi thought about it and realized that there were only a few Wei army generals who could do this, so Feng Xi handed the command of the army to Ma Su and asked him to be careful and vigilant.

Although the Wei army has retreated now, if the Wei army plays some tricks and the cavalry takes the opportunity to charge and attack, it will be enough to cause trouble for the Han army. Therefore, the long-range weapons of our formation must not be used lightly.

"Bao Feng, what's going on? Why haven't we taken down these Wei troops yet?"

Feng Xi came to the front line with more than a hundred personal soldiers and saw Bao Feng and Bao Yi commanding the Han army to charge bravely. However, the Wei army was like a taut rubber band. Although it was somewhat shaky due to the pressure of the Han army's offensive, it managed to hold on and was very resilient.

"This... Grand Commander, I am incompetent. The Wei army commanders on the opposite side are truly extraordinary. We have charged several times but have yet to defeat them. Although they are retreating step by step, there is no sign of collapse."

Bao Feng looked ashamed. He had finally gotten the chance to lead the troops in the decisive battle. He had hoped to defeat the enemy quickly and show off his skills, but he did not expect that they were all defended by the opposite side. Instead, he looked cowardly.

"The opponent's flexible defense is quite methodical, so it is reasonable that you two are unable to do anything about it."

Feng Xi watched as the two men commanded their soldiers to launch another attack. Although they caused considerable losses to the enemy, the enemy did not collapse. They just retreated slightly and then rebuilt a new line of defense.

"You two attack separately, and I will personally lead the army to encircle the enemy and defeat them in one fell swoop. If there is a chance, it would be best if we can capture the enemy general, but at the very least, we must kill him. We must not let the enemy general go again."

No matter who the other party is, if he is allowed to return to Luoyang, he will definitely be a formidable enemy, so Feng Xi instructed the two of them and personally led a flanking force to prepare for a breakthrough from the flank of the Wei army.

Although Zhang He commanded well and withstood the Han army's attacks many times, forcing Cao Zhen and his men to retreat, they were the troops left behind after all. At this moment, the Han army attacked from three sides, and the already shaky front soon collapsed. "Don't panic! Steady the front, and the reserve troops will fill the front immediately! The death squad, follow me!"

Zhang He saw that the Wei army's defenses were collapsing, and he was unable to split himself into two. No matter which side he rescued, the other two sides would be swallowed up at a very fast speed.

"The whole army should disperse and escape on their own!"

Zhang He gritted his teeth and saw that he could no longer control the Wei army. Because of the high-pressure offensive of the Han army, the Wei army, who were convinced of his reputation, could not withstand it. So Zhang He simply broke up the Wei army into small pieces and let them escape on the battlefield. In this way, it would be difficult for the Han army to capture them on a large scale, which is often said "it will take several days to capture tens of thousands of pigs."

"Those who believe in me, break through with me!"

After leaving those soldiers to fend for themselves, Zhang He gathered more than two thousand to nearly three thousand soldiers who obeyed his orders and were willing to go with him, and took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to break out to the rear.

"kill!"

Unexpectedly, the Han army reacted quickly. When the Han army that had just raided the flank saw Zhang He and his men leaving, they immediately surrounded them and entangled Zhang He and his men.

"Wow ah ah!"

A Wei soldier shouted loudly, plucked up his courage, and thrust his spear hard, which hit the Han soldier in white clothes on the opposite side. The other soldier just blinked, and then grabbed the spear while the Wei soldier was still stunned, and pulled it hard. The Wei soldier was still immersed in wondering how the other party was invulnerable to swords and spears, and was pulled over in an instant without warning.

The Han soldier did not waste any time. He raised his sword and cut off the head and body of the Wei soldier who fell to the ground. Then he continued to look for the next target.

"No, there is something wrong with this Han army."

Zhang He also realized that something was wrong. He had just stabbed a Han soldier in the heart with a spear, but unexpectedly the opponent was just knocked away by his great strength, and there was no feeling of the bullet penetrating the flesh at all.

"You look quite old, you must be Zhang He, right?"

Before Zhang He could react to the strange state of the Han army, he heard someone calling him. Zhang He looked up and saw a Han general in white clothes and armor, with a white cape, riding a black horse, holding a spear, and slowly coming towards him.

Some confused Wei soldiers were blood-thirsty and rushed towards the Han general with strange cries, but the other party didn't even look at them. He shook his spears, and several sound explosions were heard in the air. Then the sky was filled with spear shadows like blooming peonies, and together with their splattered blood, they formed a weird and gorgeous picture.

"This person is very skilled in martial arts, I'm afraid we have to take him seriously."

Zhang He saw this man kill several Wei soldiers in an instant, and he couldn't help but be alert. Zhang He was also an expert in spears, and he knew that he could never do the same thing as the other party just did, at least not so easily.

"Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name?"

Zhang He pointed his spear and asked with concentration.
