Chapter Twenty-Seven—The Final Battle in the North (I)

Just when the forces of both the country and the royal Chen family were eyeing the war situation in the south and were ready to intervene at any time, the battle in the south of the country has now entered the final white-hot stage. Li Fu, the general of Qi, followed the advice of his adviser Qian Rong, and left only the last 10,000 troops stationed in the camp of Qi outside Beidu County, pretending to be an army of 50,000 to deceive the sentry agents of the country. In secret, Li Fu personally led 30,000 elite infantry to the east, attacking the 15,000 feudal cavalry that was harassed by guerrillas not far away. In the middle of the night, they attacked the place where the feudal cavalry had been stationed for a short time, and suddenly launched an extremely fierce attack. As Qian Rong said, now they have no way out, every soldier will fight to the death, this is their last chance to fight to the death.

Since this incident happened in the middle of the night, it directly caused the fifteen thousand cavalry to be unsuspecting to the impact of 30,000 elite infantry armed with cowhide shields and short blades, and they were now not assisted by war horses, and they were in a sleepy-eyed stage, so naturally, even if they organized a counterattack, it would not be of much use. In a short time, 30,000 infantry had already broken through the defensive line in front of the battalion and rushed directly to the Chinese army tent.

"What about Gongsun Yuren?" Li Fu had been looking for Gongsun Yu's traces since he rode his horse into this feudal tent. But the soldiers around them were very chaotic, and no matter how chaotic the army was, they could only get close to the tent of the Chinese army commander in this camp little by little.

At this moment, a soldier rushed out of this tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Fu, and shouted loudly: "General, Gongsun Yu has fled from here, and his tent is empty at this moment. ”

Li Fu wanted to send someone to chase after him immediately, but Qian Rong's advice to him before leaving appeared in his mind. Qian Rong told him that although Sun Yu could force the Holy Emperor to compromise or even withdraw from the army, their ultimate goal now was not to let the feudal army withdraw directly, but to completely annihilate this feudal army, which would be the biggest blow to the vitality and morale of the current feudal country. In this way, then this Gongsun Yu is a very important chess piece.

Although Li Fu doesn't know much about Gongsun Yu, he still knows a little bit after all, and he knows that Gongsun Yu will inevitably further deepen the conflict with Xu Zhan after he goes back, so that their opportunity will come. Once the internal and external alliances are combined with the internal and external troubles within the feudal country, the defeat of the feudal country will be in an instant.

Thinking of this, Li Fu's heart naturally became clear, "In this case, pass the order and order the army not to fall in love with war, and try to catch it alive." In addition, if there are any war horses left here, bring them back!" "Yes!" One of his guards, Pegasus, went to give the order.

This desperate fight launched by the Qi State, which was now in a desperate situation, was over after half an hour's effort. The Qi army had taken full control of the camp, and the captives were concentrated in the area to the east of the camp. At this time, Li Fu, who was already sitting in Gongsun Yushuai's tent, was listening to a military servant in front of him report their harvest this time.

"General, according to the statistics of the lowly position, we have now taken a total of eight thousand five hundred and thirty-seven prisoners and killed five thousand four hundred and sixty-three. Except for the 1,000 people who fled with Gongsun Yu, the other 14,000 cavalry were already here. Moreover, we also captured 3,000 horses, and the rest of the horses fled in the confusion, and we were unable to catch up with the speed of the horses because we were infantry on foot, so we let go of a lot."

Li Fuyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not very important, as long as we win this battle, our strategic plan will gradually succeed, as for the harvest is not too important, I am very satisfied with this kind of harvest." The order was sent that every soldier who participated in the battle was rewarded according to the number of feudal soldiers killed by his own hands, and each person killed was rewarded with ten taels of silver. Among them, the soldier who catches the feudal general or finds the war horse will be rewarded with an additional twenty pieces of cloth. ”

"Yes!

Li Fu smiled slightly, this person is quite serious, and it is really rare to count the number of people to such an accurate situation. However, after a night of rushing and fighting, the army was already exhausted, so Li Fu immediately ordered the whole army to rest on the spot for a night and return to the camp early tomorrow morning. At this moment, Li Fu was extremely looking forward to it, he wanted to see what kind of profound contradictions Gongsun Yu and Xu Zhan would have because of this matter?

It can be said that Qi Guo's actions are basically a hands-off battle, because if they continue to delay like this, they will definitely lose, and the two sides will respond to each other, coupled with insufficient logistics, supplies cannot be delivered. The Qi army will either fight to the death, or they will only be able to sit and wait for death in Beiduxian County. But they still ignored one of the most important things, and so, naturally, the battle suddenly changed from their original position of holding the initiative to a very disadvantaged situation.

When the news that more than 10,000 cavalry had been attacked and almost lost was reached in the camp of the feudal state, Xu Zhan, the general who is now the commander of this army, had also heard the news. But he made a move that was very different from ordinary people at this moment, when the ordinary soldiers heard the news at this time, their first reaction was to try their best to understand what was going on, and even at this moment they were even thinking about how to deal with the Qi army that was about to arrive at any time in front of them after the battle was over?

But at this moment, as the general who commanded this army, Xu Zhan silently didn't care about this matter at all, and what he was most concerned about now was not when the Qi army would attack them. Now they still have more than 50,000 troops in their hands, and in terms of strategy, they are not too afraid of the attack of the Qi army, after all, these 50,000 troops are also extremely elite, and now there are 10,000 Qi troops coming to join them, although this army is not completely in his control now, but it is enough to be able to dispatch this army.

So now, what Xu Zhan is most concerned about is how to put the responsibility of leading the army to Gongsun Yu on his back, so that he can take over this army justifiably and completely take this army into his own hands. So, even at this time, a large number of generals came to ask to support Gongsun Yu, who is now withdrawing his troops and coming back, but they are all indifferent to Xu Zhan, who now says that he is completely indifferent to this, these generals really have no way now, the power to mobilize the army is in Xu Zhan's hands, and they have no right to dispatch the army now, in desperation, they can only look for the help of Princess Buluan, Qingxuan, who is now in this feudal military camp, although she does not care about military and politics, but because she has the Holy Emperor's personal order and has a high status and is kind。 As long as Bu Luan comes forward to speak, even Xu Zhan, who has reached the point of being bent on going his own way, will at least listen to it.

"Oh, and this kind of thing?" These officers went to Dongying to find Princess Qingxuan Buluan who was concentrating on reading, and after expressing their deep apologies, they told the Qingxuan princess Buluan in front of them everything, Buluan didn't meddle in these things recently because she was not in good health, but now that the news came out, she couldn't sit still. If this is really the case, after this battle, the Qi army has come back to life from a desperate situation and is about to die, and there is even a situation of rebirth from the ashes. If such a thing happens, I am afraid that the situation in the south here will be difficult to predict.

Although Bu Luan is still reluctant to help the Holy Emperor and the army under his command because of the difficult knot, after all, this matter involves the overall interests of the feudal country, and once Gongsun Yu really falls into the hands of the Qi people, then the consequences will be even more serious. But Bu Luan doesn't quite understand the reason for this, since he wants to get it, then Xu Zhan, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for nearly ten years, should even more think about it. Why, then, does he still do it now, knowing that the consequences are serious?

With this question, Bu Luan finally decided to come to meet Xu Zhan, after all, there was not only Gongsun Yu in that army, but also another princess, the Holy Emperor's biological daughter Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan was also in the army, once there was an accident in the army, I am afraid that she would also be captured with Gongsun Yu, in that case, they would have no drama here at all.

Although Bu Luan usually doesn't show up much because of her poor health, every soldier in this camp respects her very much. So when she appeared in front of the Chinese army's tent, these guards instinctively took two steps back to both sides, gave up a position to make way and went directly to the general Xu Zhan.

Although Xu Zhan was disdainful or even invincible to other people's movements and expressions, when Bu Luan appeared here, he stood up unexpectedly and asked in a low voice with concern: "Your Highness, why do you have such a weak body to come out and walk in the wind? Don't tell me this, I'll send someone to pick you up." ”

Bu Luan smiled slightly, leaned on the chair next to him and sat down slowly, "Thank you for the trouble, the general also wants to come to discuss this matter with the general, the main purpose of this is to express my own opinion." But I hope the general understands that if there is infighting in the face of war now, it is tantamount to betraying the interests of our feudal country in disguise. I believe it's not just me, my father wouldn't have agreed to you doing this if he was here. Uncle Xu Zhan, I hope you can understand that this situation is now irreversible. My father was poisoned by him with ********, and I couldn't support the overall situation because of my own illness, and the other brothers and sisters killed and died, and the royal family might be doomed if they continue like this. General, I don't object to you doing this, but you should wait until you defeat the Qi State first. What do you think, General?"
