Chapter 664: Encounter
The two or three thousand An'an troops came quickly and withdrew faster.
In just a few moments, the city that had just been full of armor had become empty.
The people in the city were a little confused, could it be that the other party's conscience found out that they were scolded by themselves?
After the stunned, there was a cheer.
In the afternoon, the news was transmitted back to the Lingjun, and when the Spirit King heard this, before he could speak, Ye Gui already laughed and said, "This Yu Anmin is as timid as a mouse!" Before we saw our army, they had fled in a hurry! ”
The Spirit King also smiled and said, "But now it seems that what Wang Su said is right, Yu Anmin did choose to continue to cooperate with the Ghost Clan." ”
"Don't worry, the king, when the last general encounters this dog thief, he will definitely be stabbed under the horse with a shot!" Ye Gui said immediately.
"Haha, good, good." This is the spirit king's love general, and the latter is a great joy.
Cheng Ping said: "King, it's almost evening now, do you want to continue the march." ”
When the Spirit King heard this, he first looked at the sky, and then asked, "How far is our army from Lianzhou City?" ”
"About fifty miles." Cheng Ping respectfully returned: "We have a lot of grain and grass, and the troops are slow, of course, if we enter the city overnight, it is not impossible." ”
"Forget it." King Ling waved his hand and said, "The soldiers have been on the road for so long, and they are already tired up and down, so it's better to rest first, and enter the city tomorrow morning." ”
"No!" Cheng Ping received the order.
In a short time, the heralds were already riding their horses.
"The king has an order! Stop moving forward! Resting on the spot"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the spirit army arrived at the city of Lianzhou.
At the head of the city, the people who finally succeeded in resisting, afraid that the ghost clan would come again, naturally organized some people, just like yesterday.
However, the armor of the Spirit Army is very different from that of the An Army, and there are also generals who stepped forward and shouted directly:
"My king is here! The people quickly opened the city! ”
Hearing the cheers, and then looking at the battle flag of the Spirit Army, some people immediately reacted, and said with wide eyes: "Ah!? This is the Spirit King's army! It's the Allies! ”
"Folks, this is the Allies! The Allies are coming."
"Quick! Hurry up and open the city."
When the news spread, the people cheered one after another, and their faces showed joy, and now in the world, everyone knows that the allies are here to expel foreign enemies, how can they not be happy.
The city gate was soon opened, and countless people rushed out, and then in the open space in front of the city gate, they all knelt on the ground, and shouted:
"His Royal Highness the Spirit King, the demon of the ghost clan has lost all his conscience, and the people of Lianzhou are in dire straits......"
"I, the people, have been looking forward to the Allies for a long time......"
Looking at the people who knelt down, the spirit king was very useful, smashed the horse's belly slightly, took two steps forward on the war horse, raised his hand and said:
"Okay, okay, everyone get up quickly, don't worry, since the soldiers of my spirit army are here, they will definitely protect the safety of the people, and they will never let the ghost army step into Lianzhou and slaughter my compatriots."
Receiving his promise, all the people were undoubtedly more excited.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Ling's Great Grace"
The Spirit King seemed to enjoy this feeling, and nodded in satisfaction.
Subsequently, the spirit army entered the city and began to temporarily garrison Lianzhou.
At the same time, the Qin army also easily recovered Liaoyang, and the situation encountered there was similar to that of Lianzhou.
And after the ghost king's plan to pull the army to defend together failed, he immediately changed his strategy and did not dare to defend Zhenyang alone, because this would cut off his retreat.
He could only evacuate urgently and move to Guangyuan, trying to enter Anyang from Guangyuan, and then out of the Central Plains border from Anyang.
At this time, due to the distance, the Xuan army had not yet arrived in Guangyuan, but it was no coincidence that it happened to meet the ghost army halfway.
The two sides, one marching from left to right, the other marching from bottom to top, ended up in a plain wilderness, crossed each other.
Of course, this kind of encounter is not a direct meeting, but when there is a certain distance, it has been discovered by the spies of both sides at the same time.
On the plains, spies galloped on horseback.
"King, the enemy has been found ahead, and it is suspected that it is the main force of the ghost army!"
"Revisit." King Xuan is located on the war horse, concise and to the point.
"No!" The spy clenched his fists and took the order, and turned over on his horse again.
King Xuan looked directly at Yan Qi: "Array." ”
"Yes!" The latter clenched his fists, immediately tugged on the reins, and began to give military orders.
"Spotting the enemy"
"The whole army is on alert and ready to meet the enemy"
Under the shouting, all the soldiers of the Xuanjun army cheered up, and the sound of the infantry running filled the audience.
The well-trained regular army, with great speed, lined up the wartime formation from the laziness of the march.
The other party is indeed the Ghost King Army, and they have also received a report from Tanma, and they can't help frowning.
It's a classic encounter.
Before, both sides were in a hurry, and no one thought of it.
Now fighting with Xuanjun, to be honest, the ghost king is not afraid, but he is very unhappy, because he has to rush to Guangyuan, and if he delays for one more day, it will be more dangerous.
But if he doesn't fight, Xuanjun probably won't let him pass like this.
Thinking of this, the ghost king immediately made a decision, directly issued the order to attack, and decided to strike first!
The enemy and the enemy encountered on the plain, and without saying a word, the war broke out directly.
But the Xuan Army is not the Huan Army, and the Yan Qi who commands the battle is not Xiang Ge, and there is General Xie Hongling, and there are many brave men.
Under the encounter, the enemy cavalry took the lead in charging, Yan Qi did not panic, directly waved the handsome flag, the front row of heavy shields smashed to the ground, the long halberd was like a thorn, and the crossbowmen in the back immediately bent their bows and arrows, and ten thousand arrows were fired together.
The rain of arrows struck, and the momentum of the war horses continued unabated, and immediately some of the ghost army wielded scimitars to block, and some were directly shot to the ground.
People are on their backs, mixed with one after another miserable howls.
"Array"
Rumble! Boom!
The heavy shield moved, and the Xuanjun infantry began to run in unison, and the formation changed dramatically in an instant.
At the same time, Yan Qi also shouted:
"Immediately send an order to General Xie to use cavalry to surround the enemy's flank!"
"Crossbowmen retreat!"
"Divide the formation! Let the enemy cavalry in! ”
This battle was very fierce, but when the two sides met, it was in the afternoon, so it didn't last long, and only in the evening, on the side of the ghost king, he was forced to sound the horn of retreating.
In this battle, both sides of the enemy and the enemy, the victory or defeat is not big.
But the ghost king had to re-examine the combat power of the Xuan army and its commanding ability.
After the army was collected, his face was not very good-looking.
His lieutenant general was slightly worried: "Your Majesty, judging from the initial battle, the Xuan army is not comparable to the Huan army, and there are many troops, if it fights to the death, I am afraid it will be delayed for a long time." ”
What he said was exactly what the Ghost King was worried about, and after pondering for a while, he said: "In this way, send an envoy to see King Xuan, have a better attitude, and tell him that we don't want to clash with the Xuan army, and this encounter is just an accident." ”
Obviously, he was already a little cowardly.
On the Xuanjun side, after the first battle, King Xuan said directly: "Immediately hurry up and pass on the book to King Qin." ”
