Chapter 60—To Each His Own Scheming

Seeing this, Wei Ben immediately turned his horse's head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Shield soldiers, prepare! Crossbowmen, just wait for the opponent to start shooting at a close distance!"

The two armies were once again integrated, and in the front row was still a row of shield sergeants with flipped shields. The large shields held by these sergeants were cowhide shields with sharp knives attached to them. It was also a great weapon to resist cavalry charges. Of course, most of the soldiers in this first row were not spared, and they were already prepared to go to the same end.

The infantry phalanx of the Sealed War Society formed two formations and slowly advanced from the left and right flanks of the two armies. Under the cover of the cavalry charge in front, the two armies did not dare to divide too many troops to resist the threat from both sides. Their attention was now concentrated on preparing to fight against the elite cavalry of the Sealing War Guild that was attacking directly from the front.

After the defeat in the last battle, Xu Chen found a way to deal with the forward shield army commanded by the two armies of Feng Chiyunpin, and the cavalry unit he now commanded did not charge forward quickly, but advanced step by step. In this way, although the cavalry's momentum is gone, it has more powerful stability, and such an attack can also be better decisive, and it is easier to dodge the crossbowmen's fire.

However, now the cavalry units of the three combined forces were gathered in the rear of the infantry phalanx, ready to launch a wave of aggressive surprise attacks at any time. Although Yuan Yu had some pimples in his heart, he still focused on the current enemy and commanded such a cavalry unit that he was not very good at.

The army of the Sealed War Society is now advancing in order, and a hand-to-hand battle is now about to start outside the eastern border. Yuan Yu waved his right hand violently, and at the same time, a solemn look appeared on his face. A soldier with a horn and horn beside him stood on top of a small mound and played a heavy tune. This cavalry unit began to launch a surprise attack under the cover of the infantry phalanx in front, and such a surprise attack by the cavalry of the Qi State caused a very strong real impact.

However, although the army of the Sealing War Society was proceeding in order, the speed of the cavalry was still very fast. The cavalry units, which had lost the impact of the front, did not have much power, and the infantry phalanx shield forwards in the two armies resisted the onslaught of the cavalry. At this time, the cavalry of the three armies of the Qi State had already rolled out from the rear. The striped banner that rushed to the center of the cavalry phalanx in front of the sealed battle meeting was dark red and light yellow.

The 5,000 cavalry of the coalition army in Yuan Yu's hand was dispatched, but the central army of the Sealing War Society, which had already been prepared, had already prepared the phalanx of most of the infantry, spearmen and heavily armed crossbowmen to spear out spears to raid such a cavalry unit of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Spears and lances and crossbows swooped out from both sides, forming an invisible encirclement that surrounded the cavalry of the Triple Alliance Army that was rushing ahead.

Yuan Yu had some pimples in his heart, he looked at the formation unfolding in the east, west, and south directions in front of him, Yuan Yu nodded lightly, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a trace of coldness. He pointed to the opening of the formation in the east direction, and the five thousand cavalry behind him were like a sharp sword and plunged into the square formation of the Sealing War Infantry Brigade in front of him.

However, Yuan Yu, who led the cavalry of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, didn't care about these things, he had been immersed in the battlefield for so many years, and he had more or less trained his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he was not afraid of the infantry phalanx that appeared here now. As soon as the flag waved, the cavalry phalanx formed by the Triple Alliance began to launch a sharp arrow charge against the infantry phalanx in front.

In such a big battle outside the East Border Pass, the main force of the Sealing War Society was actually not mobilized, but was still in the hands of the Holy Emperor who was still cleaning up the interior in the East Lin Pass. In fact, today, the Holy Emperor has basically controlled all the forces in the Eastern Border Pass. All the forces of the Qi State in the eastern border have been purged, and the eastern border has all been under the rule of the feudal war society.

It should be said that now is a good opportunity for the Sealing War to launch the best and most ferocious offensive against the three armies of Qi State, Fengchi and Yunpin. It's just that now, the Holy Emperor is not in a hurry to send the elite troops of the Feudal War Society under his command to do these things, he still needs one last step. And this step is also the ultimate purpose of the Holy Emperor's action this time.

Of course, the defeat of the children of the officials of the family is inevitable to some extent. The thunder-like sweeping speed of the Sealing War Society made them, the children of official families who had been comfortable for many years, have no room for resistance at all. Although last time, the leaders of the seven children of the family officials were reminded by Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan as bystanders. It's just that without waiting for them to react, the Holy Emperor directly cleaned up all their families and families with resolute speed, and the entire Donglin Pass has been calmed down.

This time, the Holy Emperor collected and harvested the official families in the East Linguan is also very rich, and after cleaning up the families of the children of the aristocratic families in the entire East Linguan, he received tens of thousands of stone of grain reserves, and now the food and grass logistics supply of the Sealing War will be temporarily worthwhile. Moreover, after cleaning the children of the aristocratic families in the eastern border area, they also harvested a lot of ironware, silk, ceramics and other necessities. There are also more valuable treasures and antiques, which are also collected into the logistics of the Sealing War Society.

The Holy Emperor was very excited about this, he made an exception today and drank two glasses of wine with Princess Rong Le, and the whole army of the Sealing War Meeting today was very excited. Of course, the Holy Emperor did not forget the fierce battle that was still fighting there outside the city. The Holy Emperor took the eldest princess Rong Le and the eight high-level officials inside the Fengzhan Society to the top of the city tower in the east of Linguan, and the eight high-ranking officials of the Fengzhan Society here who were wearing all moon-white robes were rarely seen even by the eldest princess Rongle in normal times. So although she had something to say in her heart, she just leaned behind the Holy Emperor, staring closely at the fierce battle that was now unfolding below the East Gate.

The army of the Feng Zhanhui has now broken through the forward infantry phalanx of the two armies, and the reserve elite army led by Wei Ben has also begun to gather around Wei Ben, and Wei Ben ordered the other armies under his command to begin to besiege such a rushing cavalry brigade in front of him. On the other side, the 5,000 cavalry troops led by Yuan Yu, the leading general of the Wind Gallop Army, pierced a sharp blade like silver rays from the rear, and also broke through the infantry phalanx of the Sealing War from the right, broke into the central area, and went straight to the big banner in the center of the Sealing Battle Meeting.

Now, Chen Jie once again led the Qi army that came from behind, and during this time, he had come out of the forest in the rear to raid the rear of the Fengzhan Hui army. This time, Xu Chen, who was watching the battle from behind, originally wanted to withdraw his troops, and it was not particularly beneficial for them to cause too many casualties.

It's just that when Xu Chen turned his horse's head and was about to signal the soldier next to him to blow the horn to return to the city, he suddenly met the gaze of a man wearing a bronze mask, wearing a nine-tie sky-beating crown, and a black nine-dragon robe who was watching the battle on the city tower. The Holy Emperor shook his head at him, meaning that he should not retreat yet.

Xu Chen gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers: "There is no way back now! Brothers, fight back against the enemy with me!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers of the Battle Sealing Society naturally didn't need Xu Chen to say anything more, they now understood that if Xu Chen hadn't ordered the retreat, most of today's battle would not have been a tentative attack, but a real move. If this is really the case, the desire to fight that these soldiers have suppressed in their hearts for so many days suddenly burst out. They actually maintained an amazing combat effectiveness for a while, and one of the infantry phalanxes with a sword and shield actually slowly advanced towards the Qi army, which far exceeded their number of these armies, and for a time it was not weaker than the offensive of the Qi army.

However, because the current feudal army is in the situation of fighting against the water, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers are only resolute, and there is no hint of retreat. These elite soldiers of the Sealed War Society, who had already experienced a hundred battles, now showed their amazing combat effectiveness, and for a while, such a circumvention action by the Qi army did not achieve much success.

Looking at the scene not far in front of him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the Saint Emperor's mouth, who was standing on the east side of the gate tower and silently observing the battle, and he immediately called the two figures in black cloaks hidden in a dark corner not far from him, and the faces that could not be seen clearly suddenly appeared in front of the Saint Emperor. Respectfully whispered, "Is there anything Your Majesty needs us to do?"

The Holy Emperor handed a folded piece of parchment in his hand to the two subordinates of the Sealing War Society hidden in the darkness in front of him. Then, the Holy Emperor gently patted the two of them on the shoulder, and whispered, "Remember not to hand this note to the other third person, see if you understand it, and if this is done?"

The two men in black cloaks heard in deep voices, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will do this properly, and we guarantee that no one else will be able to see this letter."

Staring at the departing backs of the two members of the Sealing War Society, the Saint Emperor's lips rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his face showed a surprise that he hadn't seen for a long time. However, even the eight high-ranking members of the Feudal War Society and the Feudal Empress Rong Le Eldest Princess who were standing beside him did not step forward to disturb him, but stood at a distance, remaining a little quiet when they were next to each other, and their eyes were always fixed on the battle that was still going on outside the plain under the eastern border. Quietly waiting for the Holy Emperor to order the withdrawal of troops at any time.
