Chapter 60 - The Battle of the Evil Stars

"Cheng Tao! Where to go! Give me my life!" A coquettish shout made Cheng Tao, who was in a panic, stunned for a moment. He hadn't even noticed that Feng Yuchong and the five Instrument Soul cultivators didn't rush to the battlefield here as soon as possible because of their excessive physical exertion, and they retreated westward like this, didn't they just bump into these five Instrument Soul cultivators? With Feng Yuchong's help, Feng Shanshan rose into the air, her skirt swayed, the lotus leaf body turned, and the silver rays that broke through the sky shone brightly with her Qianqian jade fingers!

There was almost no room for reaction, and the hundred Cheng Tao's cronies saw a flash of silver light in the air, and then before the spear in their general's hand was raised, they slowly fell off the horse with round eyes, and above Cheng Tao's throat, there was a silver, not only small, iron wheel composed of nine sharp spikes! It was this soul that took the life of Liu Xun, another important general of the feudal state, not long ago, and at this moment once again took the life of Cheng Tao, another major commander of the feudal state. However, Cheng Tao, Liu Xun, and Yang Yu, the commander of the royal guard army, the three of them were originally the most trusted generals of the Holy Emperor, and they followed the Holy Emperor to fight in the south and the north, and there were no less than twenty battles against the Qi State. It never occurred to them that they did not meet their enemies when they were young and vigorous. Unexpectedly, in the fact that they are now nearly forty years old, the two of them unexpectedly suffered the heaviest blow, and Cheng Tao and Liu Xun both lost their lives. Moreover, the two of them died at the hands of Feng Shanshan alone, which is a bit ironic.

Feng Yuchong, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying, and Sun Haosi personally worked together to kill more than 100 other Cheng Tao's personal guards, and on the other side, Feng Shanshan, who personally killed Cheng Tao, cut off his head with the sword on Cheng Tao's waist. Then, the five people used their light skills to rush forward, their target was the position of the two countries of Feng Qi who were fighting in front of them, they all believed that as long as Cheng Tao's head was given to this light cavalry force, this light cavalry force would not say that it was in chaos, but at least it would make people panic. However, Feng Yuchong and the five of them didn't expect that just Cheng Tao's head would make almost all of this light cavalry corps surrender directly.

The Qi army has actually gained a considerable advantage now, the participation of the 5,000 elite cavalry army led by Jin Xu, coupled with the main general Cheng Tao's escape before the battle, the morale of this 30,000 light cavalry is already low, and there is internal discord. The Suijing faction grasped the situation in a certain aspect, so these many reasons jointly contributed to the civil strife of the feudal light cavalry corps, and the feudal soldiers who were unwilling to surrender were wiped out in a blink of an eye, and the remaining more than 10,000 feudal soldiers who were willing to surrender were convinced that the main general Cheng Tao had been killed, the more than 10,000 soldiers did not resist, and directly laid down their arms and announced the surrender of Qi, and Li Fu ordered the army to temporarily collect their weapons. At the same time, he also ordered Jin Xu to immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue and raid the only force that is still outside Ruocheng - the Imperial Guard Legion of the Sealing Kingdom.

Jin Xu received the order and led his 5,000 cavalry to set off immediately and rushed back to Ruocheng. Accompanying him were Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao, who were the biggest contributors to the battle known as the "Battle of the Murderous Stars" by later generations. Therefore, when they made this request for battle, Li Fu did not refuse, but generously gave this best opportunity to establish his career to Jin Xu and the five young soul controllers.

Feng Yuchong's horseback riding skills were not too superb, and they were even a little rusty, so the speed of their horses was not as fast as the speed of light running, and they even fell behind the back of the five thousand cavalry. As a result, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao simply broke away from Jin Xu and the 5,000 Qi cavalry corps, and went straight to the east of the west. They are keenly aware that it is basically impossible for Huicheng to provide a way for the feudal army to retreat, and if the feudal army still wants to leave here, they will inevitably choose the road of Donglinguan, and they have to go to Donglinguan in advance to find out. So, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao didn't even say hello to Jin Xu, and left the Qi army directly.

Jin Xu didn't care about these five young people now, he ordered the guards to release a signal to inform Zhang Lingyi, the main general in Ruocheng, and let him lead the army to attack, while he quickly outflanked him from behind, and directly annihilated the royal guard legion that was still launching a futile attack outside Ruocheng, and truly ended this "Battle of the Fierce Stars" that had lasted for a long time.

Suddenly added a few whips to the war horse under his crotch, so that the speed of the war horse almost reached an extreme, and the five thousand cavalry behind him also galloped with them, their goal was very clear, that is, to combine the inside and the outside, and raid the feudal royal guard corps that is still attacking Ruocheng!

At the head of Ruocheng City, the Royal Guard Legion did not carry any siege weapons, so far Ruocheng did not feel much pressure. Although Zhang Lingyi had been observing the development of the situation under the city at the head of the city, in fact, Ruocheng had not been attacked very fiercely. In fact, the pressure on the upper floor of Ruocheng City was not as great as the pressure felt by Li Fu, the general of the Qi State who came to their aid. During this period of time, Zhang Lingyi was nominally supervising the battle on the tower of Ruocheng City, and his mind had already flown to the Qi State and the Fengguo Light Cavalry Corps that were fighting outside the city.

Because of this, when he saw the signal sounding outside the city, Zhang Lingyi's emotions were extremely excited, and he immediately lifted his silver spear resting on the city tower, and roared angrily: "Brothers, the time has come to regain the lost territory! Leave 2,000 people to garrison Ruocheng, and the rest of the army will all go out of the city with me, and give the most painful blow to the feudal country!"

The Qi soldiers around them were worried that they didn't have time to release all the suppressed emotions in their hearts. They are not the 5,000 cavalry that can be attacked, defended, retreated and advanced, as the defenders of Ruocheng, they must be guarded on the tower of Ruocheng before. This dilemma made these soldiers already hold back the fire and fire of bravery, and if they did not fight again, these soldiers would probably not be able to bear it anymore.

Hearing Zhang Lingyi's call, the surrounding Zhang Lingyi's personal soldiers also immediately ran down the city tower to give orders, and the morale of the Qi army became unprecedentedly high during this time period, and Zhang Lingyi was helped on the war horse by the surrounding soldiers without saying a word. There was no need for him to dispatch at all, most of the 20,000 Qi soldiers in Ruocheng directly picked up their weapons after hearing the news, put on their armor and automatically lined up the line, and rushed out of Ruocheng with Zhang Lingyi, the general at the front of the team. Not far outside the city, the royal guard corps was hesitantly sealing the country, and on the other side, the 50,000 troops led by Jin Xu were also at the same time attacking the royal guard corps from the east. Although the Royal Guard Legion can fight well, at this time, even if the Holy Emperor is still there, he is no longer able to return to the sky.

"General, big things are not good, if the Qi army in the city is out of the city, it has already formed a situation of encirclement, general, don't we retreat, otherwise I'm afraid it's too late, general!" In the center of the Royal Guard Corps of the Sealed Kingdom, a royal guard who had obtained information from outside hurriedly walked towards the center, he really didn't want to inform their general of the more and more unfavorable news, but the matter was urgent, and no one could say what kind of situation would occur if he didn't tell him. The royal guard knelt down on one knee in the center of the Royal Guard Legion, and in front of General Yang Yu, he reported to Yang Yu in a tone that bordered on fear.

Yang Yu was still wearing such armor, his face was tepid, and he knew that even if he vented all his dissatisfaction now, it would be useless. At the moment of the great enemy, his mood became calmer, so that when he heard the news, he didn't even have any other emotions in his heart except for a trace of emotion and helplessness. Yang Yu sighed deeply, staring at Ruocheng in front of him, which seemed to be not far away, but it seemed to be close to the end of the world, and then looked at the soldiers of the Royal Guard Legion who were waiting for him to speak. Yang Yu couldn't help but sigh often, a look of despair appeared on his face, staring at the morning glow that was gradually sinking in the distance, and he didn't speak for a long time. Slowly, Yang Yu said slowly: "Order the whole army to retreat to the east of Linguan, so maybe you can save some of it, quickly send an order, order the army to evacuate, and I will cover the retreat of the army."

This sentry didn't dare to stop Yang Yu, he could understand that the general was now carrying too much on his shoulders, he silently turned around and quickly went to the Royal Guard Legion to deliver this order.

What Yang Yu did was helpless, but it was indeed the most correct choice now. The soldiers of the Royal Guard Legion are now demoralized due to the total failure of their strategic plans, and they no longer think about unrealistic battle plans such as capturing Ruocheng, and the only thing they can think about now is to retreat, holding on to their lives more than anything else. As a result, the 20,000 troops of the Royal Guard Corps quickly retreated in the direction of Donglinguan under the cover of Yang Yu.

On the other side, two generals, Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu, led the Qi army to join the division victoriously, and then they waited for the Qi army led by Li Fu, the general of Qi, to arrive. The three sides joined forces together, and after an inventory, it was found that there were nearly 60,000 troops. Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu asked Li Fu to dispatch the 58,000 troops to jointly pursue the retreating feudal army.

The feudal army is actually not only a royal guard legion, the heavy infantry legion and the light cavalry legion are still part of the remaining army, and the combined army is not weaker than the Qi country. It's just that now this army has no fighting spirit, and only thinks about how to retreat to the territory of the feudal country to ensure the safety of their lives. They didn't even send a sentry to keep an eye on the situation around Jincheng, but the result was mostly the same.

The retreat of the feudal army was very fast, and it took a little effort for Zhang Lingyi, Jin Xu and Li Fu to dispatch the army together. So that this army has soon returned to the vicinity of Donglinguan, they originally thought that even if the army led by Qi State has occupied Donglinguan now, there should not be many garrisons, and their army wants to return to the country as soon as possible, and they will go all out to attack Donglinguan, so that it will not take much time for them to recapture Donglinguan and return to the territory of the feudal country, such a result is undoubtedly the best for them.

It's a pity that an inexplicable wonderful thing happened, when this feudal army retreated unscathed to the city of Donglinguan, they not only found the blue lion banner belonging to the Qi country that appeared on the city tower, but also appeared a general of the Qi country who made the feudal soldiers under the east pass feel deep despair, wearing light blue azure armor and a solemn face, it was none other than Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu as one of the three deputy generals of Chen Jie, the southern governor of Qi State, Li Xin!
