Chapter 103: The situation has taken a sharp turn
The Longxi Army originally had 150,000 people, and the Longwei Army fought about 30,000 people in Moon Bay. Compared with Long Weihou's more than 50,000 and close to 60,000, plus Lingwu's 50,000, the Longxi army still has an advantage in numbers.
But now his army fell in droves in front of the spiritual consciousness storm of the spiritual warriors, and in less than a quarter of an hour, forty or fifty thousand people lost their combat effectiveness. His own spirit priest was now completely ineffective, and Long Xihou didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if this situation continued. He really understood now why King Liang wanted to get this Zhao Lingwu at any cost.
He did not dare to slack off and immediately ordered a retreat to the south. The officers and men of the Longxi Army were already frightened by the scene in front of them, they didn't see anything, and the people on the side fell to the ground like a tide, life and death were unknown, and no one was not afraid. Hearing the retreat order issued by the Hou Ye, everyone ran desperately to the south as if they had been pardoned.
More than 100,000 people rushed to the south like crazy, and the Tiantai army did not dare to step forward to stop it. Rabbits are in a hurry and want to bite, not to mention this is a heavily armed army.
Lingwu hurriedly ordered the army to get out of the way and only kill the lagging men and horses on the side. Those who fled for a time fled, those who chased after them, and those who couldn't escape surrendered. The tragedy staged in Moon Bay turned into a comedy, and you chased me all the way to Tiantai City.
After chasing seven or eight miles, the reinforcements sent by the prince came head-on. Originally, they had come to flank Lingwu, but they were blocked by a fire that suddenly rose on the mountain. When the fire was extinguished, they hurried all the way. I wanted to come to help in the battle, but I didn't expect to be swept away by the friendly forces that came in front of me.
"Run, the enemy is coming after you."
"The enemy is coming, run for your life!"
I heard a shout from behind: "Kill! Capture Long Xihou alive. "The reinforcements were all out of order, and they all mixed in with the fleeing friendly troops.
The Longwei Army and the Tiantai Army converged smoothly, and everyone didn't have time to make noise, so they chased after the Longxi Army unhurriedly. When approaching Tiantai City for more than 20 miles, the Longxi army turned west and fled, and Lingwu did not dare to chase them anymore, because the more than 100,000 troops stationed in the west of Tiantai City had already moved, and it was obvious that they were coming to meet Longxi Hou.
Lingwu didn't dare to be careless, turned east, and entered the city through the east gate of Tiantai City. The Battle of Moon Bay lasted for a day and a half, and the Long Wei Army won a great victory. Along the way, he captured 10,000 slaves of the other party, and Long Xihou returned to the camp to count, a total of 250,000 people when he left the army, and less than 120,000 returned. A good game of chess made Zhao Lingwu a mess, and Long Xihou was indescribably depressed.
Accompanied by Lingwu, Long Weihou and his entourage happily entered the Tiantai City Lord's Mansion. Long Weihou grabbed Lingwu's hand and said, "Alas! Thanks to you for coming in time this time, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable! ”
"Isn't there a spiritual man on the other side? Why is it that the enemy is completely unparried, and it is falling one by one? ”
"yes, we don't have to. The methods of the spirits are really amazing, too amazing. The generals were also amazed.
Long Weihou pulled Lingwu aside and asked in a low voice, "Will you have already exposed the identity of the Great Spirit Master?" ”
Lingwu didn't speak, just shook his head vigorously, and Long Weihou smiled: "Yes, don't show your hole cards until the most critical moment." ”
Lingwu was also very happy, not only did he win the battle, but his eldest brother-in-law He Jian and second brother-in-law Zhang Platform both followed Hou Ye to Tiantai City, plus Lu An, the three brothers-in-law finally joined Lingwu. When the family arrived at the pile, Lingwu couldn't finish talking, and kept asking the family one by one. Knowing that his parents and family were fine, he was a little relieved.
Zhang Zishan saw his son, and saw that Lingwu defeated the main force of the Longxi Army in one fell swoop, and his heart that had been hanging for a while finally relaxed. Seeing that the first and second people of the Hou Kingdom had all come to their own places, Zhang Zishan was overjoyed and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo's celebration banquet. Although I was busy, I was happy. The subordinates around him all came over with interest: "What a good luck for you, adult! Master Hou and the master are both in Tiantai City, such a great victory, the whole city is celebrating! ”
"Yes, yes! This is a great joy that has never been seen before! You all have a lot of thoughts, and you can do your errands well, but don't make any mistakes. ”
Needless to say, Zhang Zishan was busy with things before and after, and the banquet began in the evening. Long Weihou forcibly pulled Lingwu and sat on the main seat with him. He took the lead in raising his wine glass and said loudly: "In today's battle with Longxi Hou, the master strategized and turned the encirclement into a siege of the enemy. Set fire to block the enemy, capture the enemy general alive, and defeat the army of Longxi Hou with one force. If it weren't for the master, I would have waited for that to sit here and celebrate! In him, I saw the figure of Brother Yuzhang again, and I was worry-free in the Hou Kingdom. All of us raise a glass to the Master! ”
"Hou Ye's words are too heavy, where does Lingwu dare to be it! This battle is not my work alone, everyone worked hard to achieve today's victory. If Hou Ye had retreated instead of holding on to the battle at Moon Bay when the battle in Moon Bay was the most dangerous, I am afraid that Lingwu and the others would have died now. Thank you, Lord Hou, for holding your ground at the risk of annihilation and waiting for us! Speaking of which, Lingwu was really a little excited.
"This is as it should be, how can we retreat? If we want to finish, everyone will finish together, if we want to win, we will win together, God has made us a family! ”
"I propose that everyone toast Hou Ye together, and congratulate Hou Ye on attacking Hanzhong Hou in the north and going south to Longxi Hou. Long live the Hou Guo of Longwei, long live the Hou Ye! Lingwu was very excited, and Long Weihou's firm stance infected him, and he immediately raised his wine glass and said emotionally.
All the generals present were excited, raising their arms and shouting. I haven't seen this situation for a long time, even though Long Weihou has been the overlord of one side for many years, he was moved to tears by everyone's true feelings.
He said affectionately: "Changwu is old, and he has received the love of Brother Yuzhang and everyone, and he has been able to expand his territory and establish the Hou State. Now that there is Lingwu and the support of everyone, how can Changwu be virtuous? Only by sharing happiness and hardship with everyone. This was the biggest crisis of my life, and it was supposed to be a losing situation. With everyone's encouragement, we successfully attacked Hanzhong Hou in the north. Today we are lucky to defeat the Hou of Longxi, and the sky will not destroy my Longwei Hou Kingdom! If he survives this catastrophe, Ji Changwu will live up to everyone. If there is a violation of this statement, my Ji family will be thundered and killed! ”
