For the generals of the Witch Country, who can only rely on command, and don't know what to do without command, Li Xiang doesn't want to comment on anything. Although their flexibility and autonomy are a little worse, as long as they have a qualified commander, their combat effectiveness can still be expected.

Although the witch has been lost now, there are two old fritters on the battlefield, Li Xiang and Qibei, which may not be worse than when the witch was there. Moreover, Li Xiang and Qibei are both fierce generals who can lead troops to kill, which is incomparable to the witch. Therefore, Li Xiang's confidence is still very strong.

At this moment, there was a trumpet sound from the First Legion of the Empire. Rand originally came out of the imperial army, so he naturally understood the meaning of the horn sound, and it was the Great Führer who sent the order to Brother Zhan and asked him to join the siege of the city. After hearing the order, Ge Zhan also immediately took action, commanding his second and third legions to approach the city wall and join the Black Widow who was besieging the city.

The 2nd and 3rd Corps marched up from the rear and had to pass through several trenches. Those trenches were filled with oil, which, if lit, could ignite a raging fire and block the enemy's approach. However, because the witch was critically ill, the generals of the witch country were at a loss for what to do, and retreated too quickly, giving up the trench to the imperial army, losing the opportunity to ignite the oil, so that the imperial army only needed to build a few wooden bridges to pass through smoothly.

However, Li Xiang was still a little puzzled, the people of the Witch Country were panicked, and it was understandable that they had mistakes, but why did the imperial army turn a blind eye to the oil in the trenches? How did they assume that it was impossible for the people of the Witch Country to approach the trench again? If it ignites during the siege, the Imperial army will be divided into two parts, and it will be dangerous to fight on its own. The safest thing to do. It is to fill in these trenches. This was a breeze for the Imperial Army, which had nearly 400,000 men. Filling in a few trenches is just a matter of hands. However, they didn't do it, which really made Li Xiang incomprehensible.

Since the Imperial army did not fill the trenches. It's just leaving a chance for the Witch Country. Li Xiang immediately said to Qi Bei: "Senior, you are here to command the overall situation, and I will lead an army down to fight for a while to boost morale." ”

Qibei nodded and said, "Since you want to fight, go all out." Take all your cavalry with you, and make sure you hurt the other side. ”

Li Xiang turned around and asked Ma Yuandao, "How many cavalry do we have?" ”

Ma Yuan said: "We have three cavalry regiments, each regiment of 10,000 people!" ”

Li Xiang said: "Enough, you immediately order all of them to be assembled and prepare to leave the city." ”

His order had just been given. The Imperial army outside the city has changed again. Since there was a wide moat outside the Witch City in addition to a few trenches filled with oil, the Imperial army had to fill in the moat first if they wanted to attack the city. Under the protection of several shield arrays, many black-helmeted warriors carried straw bags full of soil and threw them into the moat, filling a section in a short time.

Not only that, but after the second and third legions led by Ge Zhan came up, they also formed a phalanx of archers on the other side of the moat. Shoot rockets into the city. As a result, the Witch Nation army at the head of the city suffered casualties, and several facilities were set on fire. The thunder bullets launched by Thor are the most afraid of fire, and once detonated, they will cause huge casualties. Therefore, the defenders began to panic, and they hurriedly tried to protect Thor, but the strength of the counterattack instantly dropped by a few notches.

Li Xiang knew he couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the 30,000 cavalry had been assembled, he immediately went down the city wall. Ride a horse and wait for the gates to open. The first one rushed out of Witch City. The imperial army outside the city saw that the army of the Witch Country dared to take the initiative to fight, and hurriedly came to surround it. It's a pity that the first thing to kill is Li Xiang, the killing god, and he is holding an incomparably sharp witch sword in his hand, and where he passes is like a knife cutting tofu, it is unstoppable!

Under the leadership of Li Xiang, the 30,000 cavalry of the Witch Country finally left the city gate, and formed the most conducive to the charge of the arrow formation. Seeing that his subordinates had been assembled, Li Xiang immediately led them to kill the second and third legions of the Gozhan without hesitation.

Since Ge Zhan is the commander of the Black Helmet Warriors, he is naturally very good at leading troops. Seeing Li Xiang coming at him, he was not afraid at all, and immediately gave orders one after another, and the-for-tat also put on a sharp arrow formation, charging in the opposite direction with Li Xiang.

The Arrow Formation is indeed the most conducive formation for charging, but the Arrow Formation is not sharp, and it depends on the tip of the arrow at the front. And the tip of the arrow on the side of the Witch Country is Li Xiang, who is holding the witch sword, and its sharpness is naturally unquestionable. As soon as the two sides collided, Li Xiang fought his way out. The warriors of the Witch Country who followed closely behind were also inspired by his bravery, and quickly widened this bloody path under the sacrifice of their lives.

The blade of the brother battle was split in half by the head of the living body. The Arrow Formation is good for charging, but not for defense. When the formation was broken, it immediately became a mess, and Li Xiang led the army to rush and kill repeatedly, and it was almost cleaned up in two clicks

This made Brother Zhan furious, and when Li Xiang was sweeping away the remnants of the imperial cavalry, he personally led a team of men and horses to rush over, wanting to entangle Li Xiang, and then surround him with infantry. However, Ge Zhan overestimated himself too much, but seriously underestimated Li Xiang. The two met on the battlefield, and Ge Zhanman thought that his swordsmanship was no worse than Li Xiang, but the current Rand was no longer the original Rand, but the swordsmanship was far superior, and Li Xiang was based on "Jiuyang Divine Skill". After a few moves, Brother Zhan was slashed from the top of his head to his crotch by Li Xiang's sword, splitting him in half. Brother Zhan didn't believe that he was so vulnerable until he died, and with surprise and disbelief on his face, he was split into two pieces!

As soon as Brother Zhan died, the Second and Third Legions immediately went into chaos and began to scatter and flee. But after all, there are 100,000 people in the two legions, and Li Xiang only has 30,000 men, even if Li Xiang has killed a lot before, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people, and if you want to eliminate them, you can't do it in a short time. And Black Widow's Sixth and Seventh Legions are next to her, as long as she presses up in time, even if she can't leave Li Xiang behind, she can save most of the Imperial soldiers. However, I don't know what the Black Widow thinks, so instead of coming to help, she retreated first, all the way through the trench filled with oil.

At this time, Li Xiang could ignite the oil in the trench at any time and cut off the retreat of the defeated Second and Third Army Corps. But Li Xiang has been on the battlefield for a long time and knows the truth of trapped beasts. If you really cut off the retreat of the rout, if you don't get it right, it will arouse the desperate heart of these routs, and in turn cause huge damage to the army of the Witch Country. Therefore, it is better to leave them a glimmer of hope, Li Xiang only needs to chase and kill later, although it will make the enemy escape a lot, but his own casualties are greatly reduced, and it is more cost-effective.

The Sixth and Seventh Legions of the Black Widow retreated through the trenches completely, but the Second and Third Legions of the Columbian War lost most of them, and only more than 30,000 of the 100,000 people retreated, and the rest were either killed or captured, which can be said to be completely disabled. The 30,000 cavalry led by Li Xiang only lost more than 4,000 people, and this battle can be described as a complete victory.

However, after all the men of Brother Zhan could escape back, the first legion of the Great Chief, the fourth, fifth and fifth legions led by the lord of Liqing County slowly advanced, and the heavy pressure came to his face, making the warriors of the Witch Country who had just cheered for a victory gradually quieted down. Even if they crippled the Second and Third Legions, the Imperial Army still far outnumbered them, and the Great Führer was even more invincible, and the previous victory was nothing at all.

Under the arch of the Red Guard, the Great Führer appeared in front of the battle on a particularly tall horse, his much taller than ordinary people, and his hideous and terrifying armor, as if the devil was in the world, made people tremble at the sight of it. Naturally, the warriors of the Witch Country had heard the legend of the Great Führer, and now that they saw the real person, they were all a little frightened.

The Grand Führer took a few more steps, came to the edge of the trench, and said in a loud voice: "Very good, Rand, I underestimate you!" ”

In order to boost the morale of the warriors of the Witch Country, Li Xiang deliberately laughed and scolded: "Great Führer, I overestimated you!" ”

The person who dared to ridicule the head of state in person, Li Xiang was probably the first. This made the Great Governor angry, and roared angrily: "I don't know the height of the sky, boy, I must let you die today without a place to be buried!" ”

Li Xiang smiled disdainfully: "It turns out that the great head of state, which everyone is afraid of, will only take advantage of his tongue. You have the ability to come! I'm waiting for you right here. ”

The Grand Fuhrer roared angrily, but as the supreme head of the empire, he was really not an easy person, and he didn't even wave his troops to attack because of anger, and he didn't know what to think of and laughed. After laughing, he said loudly: "The witch is dead, what else can you do with you, a stinky boy?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the warriors of the Witch Country immediately stirred. The news of the witch's death is currently limited to the upper echelons of the Witch Country, and others don't know about it at all. You must know that the witch is the backbone of the witch country, if she has any three strengths and two weaknesses, and she doesn't need the empire to attack, she will be completely messed up. At this time, listening to the words of the Great Leader who didn't know whether they were true or not, and the witch had not shown up, it made the warriors of the Witch Country nervous.

Seeing that the warriors of the Witch Country were a little uneasy, the Grand Master immediately seized the opportunity and roared: "Attack! ”

With the order of the Great Führer, the First Army of the Reich immediately went into action. Of the 100,000 troops, 60,000 were cavalry, divided into three teams, arranged in a zigzag pattern, stepping on the wooden bridge over the trench, and rumbling over. Another 40,000 infantry slowly followed, ready to support their companions in front. It's just that the two legions of the county lord of Liqing are not moving, and they don't know what they have in mind, which is quite puzzling.

Seeing that the Great Leader crossed the first trench first, Li Xiang raised the witch's sword and shook it. Qibei on the witch city saw the reflection of the witch's sword, and immediately beckoned to the city, and the princess dressed as a witch immediately walked up to the city. A group of soldiers of the Witch Country who were originally bewitched by the words of the Great Führer were unstable, but now when they saw the witch appear, their morale suddenly rebounded from the bottom to the peak, and the city's cheers broke out in the sky.
