Chapter 488: Breaking Through (2)

Ye Shaolong gave an order, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses immediately went out of the city to participate in the battle, but the northern city naturally couldn't be without guards, so he had to temporarily transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from Su Can.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses in the northern city of Yejiabao were all pressed up, and the situation on the battlefield improved immediately. The enemy forces that resisted Li Chengke began to retreat one after another.

And after Li Chengke learned that Ye Shaolong personally came to guard the northern city, he no longer had any worries and began to attack with all his might.

The strength and combat power are absolutely stronger than the enemy's, and in such a situation, the enemy army cannot resist at all. Especially the 5,000 troops who joined later, as soon as they went up, they slaughtered the enemy army.

Soon, the enemy's musket battalion was defeated, and the Yejiabao army did not go forward to pursue it, but immediately surrounded the enemy's cavalry battalion. Under the continuous eruption of muskets, the cavalry battalion could not resist for long.

The defeat of the enemy army has appeared, and Li Chengke seized the hard-won opportunity and began to counterattack with all his might. Wherever the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand pointed, blood splattered, and the screams never stopped.

The enemy army collapsed in an instant, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they began to turn and flee. Li Chengke was still hesitating to chase and kill, so he received an order from Ye Shaolong to him, kill!

After receiving such an order, Li Chengke was slightly stunned, after all, from the very beginning, Ye Shaolong advocated not to fight the enemy head-on.

After confirming it repeatedly, Li Chengke became excited, and Fang Tian drew a halberd to point at the fleeing enemy army and shouted: "Kill!" ”

There were less than 3,000 cavalry battalions left behind him and followed Li Chengke to rush forward first.

The infantry in the rear, under the leadership of several adjutant generals, lined up in dozens of phalanxes and advanced steadily.

Ye Shaolong, who was on the tower of the city, nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and then ordered the heralds beside him: "Pass my order, all the defenders in the city are ready to attack at any time." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Several heralds received the order and immediately dispersed.

The direction of the enemy's flight was Dongcheng, so far there was no threat to Beicheng for the time being, Ye Shaolong simply took four thousand defenders, and the remaining one thousand guarded the city, and then hurried to Dongcheng.

The enemy army in Beicheng was defeated and fled to Dongcheng, and soon spread to the enemy army outside Dongcheng, and the original enemy army outside Dongcheng was obviously not enough for 10,000 people. Although the two sides joined forces, they soon showed defeat.

As soon as Ye Shaolong arrived in Dongcheng, he saw that the Yejiabao army on the battlefield was still in the upper hand, and he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the five thousand cavalry left behind to go out of the city again to participate in the battle.

When all the cavalry battalions went into battle, Ye Shaolong ordered the remaining 1,000 infantry to attack as well, and the defensive strength of Dongcheng was still only 1,000.

As a result, on the battlefield outside Dongcheng, the Yejiabao army had more than 40,000 people, while the enemy army had less than 30,000. As soon as the defenders of Dongcheng joined the battlefield, the enemy army immediately began to flee again.

The direction of this escape was Xicheng, where there were still 20,000 enemy troops, and it was clear that the foreign army wanted to get reinforcements from there.

But this time, Ye Shaolong didn't leave them any chance, one step ahead of the enemy, and ordered the defenders of Xicheng to attack. Before the fleeing enemy army reached Xicheng, the Yejiabao army had already fought with the enemy first.

Pursued all the way to Xicheng, the enemy army had suffered heavy losses, and each time it failed to organize an effective resistance, and was chased all the way by the Yejiabao army with its tail biting, which can be described as heavy casualties.

When the fleeing enemy army rushed to Xicheng, not only failed to stop the attack of Yejiabao's army, but instead put the 20,000 defenders of Xicheng in trouble again.

At this moment, Nancheng also began to fight, Su Can'an couldn't help but lose his temper, and led the troops to fight in one step with Ye Shaolong's order. It's a pity that there are only 10,000 troops left, but with the bravery of the Yejiabao army, they still bite the enemy's 20,000 people tightly, so that they can't get out to rescue.

The Yejiabao army dispatched 50,000 troops to fight head-on with the remaining 60,000 troops of the enemy, starting from the north city until it reached the south city, and the Yejiabao army has always had the upper hand.

Seeing everyone participating in the war, Tie Tower's heart itched and his hands itched, but it was a pity that no matter how he pleaded, Ye Shaolong never allowed him to participate in the war.

The combat power of the Yejiabao army is really powerful, especially when it is close to hand, it is even more vivid. Once there is no distance between the two sides, the enemy will be defeated immediately in hand-to-hand combat.

The enemy's muskets also failed to give full play to their advantages, and they used their own shortcomings to fight with the strengths of the Yejiabao army, and the strength of the two sides at the moment was equal, so it was not surprising that they lost.

The current situation depends on whether Li Cheng and Su Can can kill more enemies, and take advantage of this opportunity to completely cripple the Seven Nations Alliance here.

Ye Shaolong believed that as long as the Seven-Nation Alliance could be completely disabled this time, the scourge of war would not arise again for a long time to come.

However, the Seven-Nation Alliance did not seem to have the consciousness to fight to the death, and immediately fled as soon as they realized that something was wrong. Sometimes even with regard to friendly casualties.

This exacerbated the overall casualties of the enemy army, but also gave some of the enemy troops who were the first to flee to have time to escape.

The battle was fought until evening, when it was completely subdued, and not a single enemy was captured. Ye Shaolong ordered that no prisoners were needed, there was no room for relaxation between him and the Seven Nations Alliance, and the two sides were now either dead or alive.

As night fell, the Yejiabao army outside the southern city began to light torches and clean up the battlefield. Li Chengke and Su Can dragged their tired bodies back to the city together.

Both of them had some minor injuries on their bodies, Ye Shaolong did not rush to listen to their report on the situation after the war, but asked them to go down to wash up first, and then report after the wounds were treated.

Both of them retreated according to the order, during which Ye Shaolong had already ordered the kitchen to bring a sumptuous banquet, which should be regarded as a way to catch the wind and wash the dust for them, and celebrate this victory.

An hour later, Li Chengke and Su Can came back together, the previous fatigue was gone, and the two of them came quickly in good spirits.

"Dashuai!"

"Sit down and talk as you eat." Ye Shaolong motioned for the two to sit down.

The two of them hugged their fists at the same time, and then sat down opposite Ye Shaolong.

Tie Ta took the lead and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, the two brothers have worked hard today, I toast you." ”

Li Chengke and Su Can didn't say much, and immediately took the wine glass as a respect. was so bold, Zhengzhong Tower took care of it, and immediately dried the wine in his hand, and then diligently refilled the wine for the two.

Li Chengke glanced at the iron tower, and then no longer drank with him, but stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, and then said to Ye Shaolong: "Great marshal, although we won this battle, it seems that there are still many Seven Nations Alliance troops who have fled. Otherwise, we will lead our troops to pursue them overnight and kill them! ”

Ye Shaolong shook his head and said, "No, don't chase after you, not to mention that if you leave the capital, it will not be our territory, and the risk of chasing and killing the enemy army is too great to be worth it." ”
