Chapter 60 – The Battle of the Evil Stars (Legendary)
Among the five thousand cavalry of the Qi State, the leader was naturally the Qi General Jin Xu, who was wearing a silver-white battle robe and a white cloak, and a gold-handled broadsword in his hand looked very powerful. He is now full of strength, and he can't wait to kill all the enemies to relieve his hatred. Since the Holy Emperor led the army to surround Ruocheng, he has not dared to rush out because of the huge disparity in troops. But the fire of courage that rose from the bottom of his heart was not so easy to extinguish, and he finally suffered until now, and the golden sword in his hand shone in the mild sun at noon, looking particularly majestic and majestic. Such a heroic momentum also inspired the five thousand cavalry who followed him with him, and they shouted majestic and heroic military songs, and rushed forward with a whip.
On the other side, Li Fuyuan, the general of Qi, was facing the siege of nearly 50,000 elite troops from two legions, even though he led the troops well, but the number of troops under his command was really not as good as that of the feudal country, and the Qi army was still defeated and retreated, until the final loss of nearly 10,000 troops was barely able to keep the other armies. Li Fu now led them to retreat to the vicinity of Ruocheng, originally intending to launch a powerful counterattack with the help of the defenders in Ruocheng. That's why he didn't withdraw, but ordered the soldiers to rest in place.
But what Li Fu never expected was that the more than 20,000 feudal heavy armored infantry regiments led by Liu Xun would begin to mess up inexplicably at this moment, and even the feudal flag that was originally planted in the center also fell. Li Fu just wanted to send troops to find out, but he didn't expect to see that a well-armed cavalry rushed from the east and the south at the same time, and the sentry sent by Li Fu reported back that the number of the cavalry army rushing from the west was about 30,000, and the banner was nothing else, it was the flag of the red and silver border of the country, and the number of cavalry troops in the south was obviously much less, but the banner was that Li Fu almost shouted excitedly, this is nothing else, it is the blue lion banner of Qi country!
Li Fu turned his eyes to see that the leading general in front of this army was one of the guards in Ruocheng, wearing a silver helmet and white armor, and Jin Xuheng, who was holding a gold-backed broadsword, greeted them on his horse. I don't know why, a deep smile slowly appeared on the corner of Li Fu's mouth, he jumped down the mound and rode his war horse to meet him. Jin Xu led the army to arrive, and in some ways for them it was like a long-drought land meeting nectar. A deep cheer also erupted among Li Fu's soldiers, and they rekindled their hope. Picking up the sharp weapon beside him, he stood up, and followed Li Fu in front of him to rush over the five thousand cavalry led by Jin Xu.
Jin Xu gestured on the war horse, and then jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Fu's war horse. Although he is now leading the cavalry to aid Li Fu, his official rank after all is still much lower than Li Fu, so he still knelt down on one knee in front of Jin Xu. He bowed deeply and shouted solemnly: "The last general, Jin Xu, has seen General Li Fu!"
It stands to reason that Li Fu should maintain his identity now, after all, he is now the only great general in the Qi State. But at the juncture of life and death, Li Fuping is not such a person who cares too much, plus he is relatively kind, he hurriedly dismounted and helped Jin Xu in front of him, clasped his hands tightly, and showed a rare smile on his face, only to hear him say with a smile: "General Jin Xu is very pleased to be here, I really didn't expect this matter." After all, the combat effectiveness of the feudal country is really too strong now, and I hope that General Jin Xu will help me to completely eliminate the cancer of these feudal kingdoms in the country! For the glory of the country, we will fight to the death!"
Li Fu's voice was loud, not only Jin Xu, who was clasping his hands, felt his deep true temperament. Behind them, whether it was the five thousand Qi cavalry troops who followed Jin Xu here, or the Qi soldiers who followed Li Fu, they all felt a deep blood emotion in their hearts, and now, it was time to fight a bloody battle!
Jin Xu took the lead in shouting: "Brothers, we will fight back! Defeat the army of the feudal country, and return us to the rivers and mountains!"
"For glory, for the people!" The morale of the Qi army was particularly high, and they huddled together and helped the two generals Jin Xu and Li Fu onto their horses, while the other soldiers followed behind the two generals. This Qi army, which has gone through all kinds of hardships, has no doubt about its loyalty to the Qi State. Under the joint leadership of Li Fu and Jin Xudi, this Qi army, whose morale was now unprecedentedly high, turned its head and aimed at the upcoming 30,000 Fengguo cavalry. The bow and crossbow were struck, and the shield was raised again. Jin Xu led 5,000 cavalry to temporarily hide behind Li Fu's 20,000 troops, waiting for the opportunity to succeed in one fell swoop.
On the other side, Cheng Tao hurriedly stepped up, originally wanting to directly eat Li Fu's 20,000 troops before Feng Yuchong and the five soul controllers arrived. Unexpectedly, when he led the army to approach Li Fu's army, he found a dense rain of arrows shooting overhead, and a sharp shield was erected again not far in front of him. Cheng Tao was taken aback by all this, hadn't this Qi army already given up on itself? Could it be that the 5,000 reinforcements had given them so much strength? Cheng Tao was still hesitating, and the cavalry riders and war horses who were hurrying behind him did not allow him to continue to think. Cheng Tao could only raise the small round shield on the side of his horse, and roared angrily: "Brothers, don't care about the arrows, rush in and kill Li Fu for me! This army will naturally collapse!"
30,000 light cavalry launched, and Cheng Tao led 1,000 personal soldiers to supervise the battle in the rear. The feudal cavalry in front of them waved the spears in their hands, and raised their small shields in one hand to resist the arrows shot overhead. They rushed towards the soldiers holding large shields in the front row of the Qi army, not afraid of the rain of arrows flying overhead. On the way to the reunion, there were soldiers who were shot in the neck by arrows and fell from their horses. But this did not affect the speed of the charge of the 30,000 light cavalry. In less than a moment, the forward troops of the light cavalry had already collided head-on with the Qi soldiers holding large shields, the neighing of war horses was everywhere, and the two armies officially came into contact head-on!
Two full rows of five hundred large shield soldiers in the front row were trampled to the place by the neighing footsteps of the war horses. These shield-wielding soldiers were already destined to die for their country today when they were at the forefront of the enemy's battle. The fall of this thousand men slowed down the charge of the cavalry troops, and in some ways it was also their victory. Then, an army armed with a spear rushed out of the Qi army, and the spears of this army were covered with hook sickles, and the weak legs of the war horses were torn through the advantage of the hook and sickle, so that the war horses fell to the ground unsteadily. Forcefully blocked the cavalry's forward rush to kill. At the same time, a thousand soldiers with large shields were once again rounded out at the rear of the formation, and what these thousand soldiers needed to do now was to resist the cavalry troops of the feudal kingdom that followed.
Li Fu, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, is now with Jin Xu commanding two thousand crossbowmen to release arrows non-stop, and Li Fu ordered them to shoot in front of them without stopping, which became another sharp weapon for the Qi army to block the feudal army. It's just that the Qi army with the big shield soldiers and the hook and sickle spear army still can't resist the elite cavalry of the feudal country. The hussar corps continued to fall, but they were getting braver and braver in front of them. The striker had even broken through the defensive line of the Qi army in front and rushed straight to the position where the Qi flag was located in the rear.
Li Fu and Jin Xu carefully observed for a while and found that although the light cavalry corps of the Feng Kingdom was indeed very strong, it had a weakness that existed in its own battles. The vanguard has already entered, and the rear army is still hesitating behind, if the rear army does not hesitate to go directly to the aid, the outcome of the victory or defeat is really not yet known. But now, the Qi army has completely gained the upper hand, and the rear army of this feudal light cavalry is very slack, perhaps they are passive and slack off because they can't get the greatest military achievements, no matter what the reason, this rear army has become the reason for the failure of the feudal light cavalry.
Li Fu drew his sword and shouted, "Cavalry!
Jin Xu raised his long knife and shouted to the elite cavalry of the five thousand Qi countries who were ready to attack behind him: "Brothers, it is better to die than to win! Charge with me! Annihilate the army of the feudal country!"
The formation of the Qi army is not very good, although the hook and sickle spear is powerful, but after all, it still can't resist the surprise attack of the feudal cavalry that is twice as large as them. The former army of the Fengguo Light Cavalry is now under siege, but they are still continuing to advance the offensive. The surrounding Qi soldiers could not stop their progress at all, and could only surround them in the center.
The thunder in his hand was launched, Jin Xu and the five thousand cavalry under his command showed extraordinary combat effectiveness, this cavalry unit was covered in black armor, and rode a black war horse under the crotch. Jin Xu, wearing white armor, took the lead and led the army to cut off the retreat path of the former army of the Sealed State, blocking them layer by layer in the military formation of the Qi army. The feudal army in the rear wanted to assault forward, but saw a shocking figure. Jin Xu's horizontal sword immediately, the majestic temperament and the brave fire in his heart made him more and more brave, the big sword was unbeatable, he ordered the five thousand cavalry under his command to assault forward, he himself stood in the military formation, and looked coldly at the rear of the light cavalry of the feudal country. With such a majestic momentum, no one in this feudal light cavalry rear army dared to come up to fight.
In the distance, the guards beside Cheng Tao persuaded him many times, and now the situation is probably very unfavorable to them, the Qi army dares to meet the battle like this, if the reinforcements are either strong or the morale is high, now the morale of the feudal army is low, although the combat effectiveness is strong, but the combat effectiveness cannot represent everything. At this time, the Qi army was still able to maintain its formation. They are sure to lose!
Cheng Tao was still hesitating, and suddenly saw a figure wearing white armor, riding a black horse under his crotch, and holding a gold-backed broadsword not far away. The general-dressed man rode his horse and sprinted towards them alone. His goal is very clear, it is Cheng Tao, the general of this light cavalry corps!
The surrounding thousand cavalry hurriedly formed a formation to ensure Cheng Tao's retreat, Cheng Tao couldn't care about much else now, and saving his life was the most important thing. So, under the cover of the hundred most trusted cavalry around, Cheng Tao retreated in the direction of Donglinguan first, where there was also an army of their feudal country.
