"Hey, how come there are only a few people, and there is only about a brigade in total! Is it a joke that such a few people want to relieve the siege of Ignatius? If it weren't for the head of the house, I would have cleaned them up right now. "Li Yuyang and his 5,000 infantry were now in ambush on the road from the Left Fort to the city of Ignatius.

"Yes, why are there only five hundred people, what happened to Yao Qianshu this time?" The person who spoke was called Wan Qi Ruiyun, who was originally an ordinary Fengxiang squad leader, and later stood out in Li Yuxuan's "Army Rectification Movement". Although his martial arts were only average, he was as good as his name in terms of intelligence, which surprised Xu Ruoyu, who was in charge of this work at the time, and tried his best to recommend it to Li Yuxuan. Now that he has been awarded the rank of Du Wei, this operation is as Li Yuyang's deputy.

"Ruiyun, who is Yao Qianshu?" Li Yuyang, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yao Qianshu is a villager from my same village, and the two of us participated in Fengxiang's Fourth Army together that year. Now he is the deputy commander of the border guards on the western front of Fengxiang. In fact, to tell the truth, with his ability, even being the right commander is more than enough!"

"Listening to your tone, it seems that your fellow is quite powerful! Then how could you send so many people to rescue Ignatius City, isn't it obvious that you are going to die?"

"Yes, I'm wondering how he could have sent only five hundred soldiers to rescue Ignatius City, which is obviously unreasonable!"

Li Yuyang and Wan Qi Ruiyun were confused about the things in front of them, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Ignore him, whether he is sent to death or a moth to the fire. The head of the family has already given the order, and our next task is to capture the left fort, and these five hundred people will be handed over to our Major General Li. Maybe when the time comes, others will think that we have eaten a bite first, so we will leave him with such a little!" Li Yuyang saw that the Fengxiang team of 500 people had already passed the corner in front, and immediately ordered the troops to concentrate on the road and prepare to attack Zuobao.

Just as the troops walked out from both sides of the road and had not yet completely sorted out the formation, there was a sudden shout of killing from the direction of the left fort, and 1,500 ironclad infantry rushed straight over like wolves and tigers.

"It's not good, it's a trick!" Wan Qi Ruiyun shouted.

"Concentrate quickly, everyone gather on the road!" Li Yuyang also understood at this moment that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy, but now it was too late to regret it, so he could only order the troops to quickly form a defensive formation. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, when the whole army began to be deployed, the 1,500 enemy troops had already been killed in front of them, and the two sides were suddenly in one place. The "homeland" that did not have a formation was at a clear disadvantage as soon as it first engaged, but because of the numerical superiority, it was able to hold on, and the situation was not too bad.

However, at this moment, Wan Qi Ruiyun seemed to suddenly remember something, and shouted loudly: "All the front of the team in the back becomes the rear, and the rear becomes the front!"

It was precisely because of this timely and accurate order that Li Yuyang's army avoided a devastating blow.

"Wan Qi Ruiyun, what are you doing, are you going to retreat?" Li Yuyang on the side obviously misunderstood what Wan Qi Ruiyun meant.

"No, have you forgotten the five hundred enemy infantry that just passed!"

Li Yuyang is not a dull person, as soon as he was reminded by Wan Qian Ruiyun, he understood what was going on, and he deeply admired his intelligence in his heart. In such a chaotic situation, it is indeed remarkable that he can not be chaotic in the face of danger and see through the enemy's real killing moves in one fell swoop.

Just as Li Yuyang and Wan Qi Ruiyun were talking, the five hundred infantry really went and returned. If it weren't for Wan Qi Ruiyun to make the troops prepare in time, then in the face of the five hundred fresh forces that suddenly came out from behind, his own army would definitely collapse.

The battle lasted for about an hour, and the infantry in front struggled to support themselves, resisting the onslaught of 1,500 enemy infantry in full formation, and the number of casualties was considerable. In the rear, the troops of the "homeland" had the advantage, and the 500 infantry were surrounded by the superior forces of the "homeland", and only more than 100 people were still dying and making the last effort. The situation of the two armies at the moment can be described as equal, and neither can take advantage of the other.

"It seems that the 'homeland' is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! The head of the family, Li Yuxuan, and the guest secretary, Xu Ruoyu, have not yet come, they are just the commander of a force responsible for the ambush, they have such ability, they can see the trap I have laid down, it seems that they will have to deal with it carefully in the future!" When he saw the troops behind the enemy turn around, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the other party didn't want to escape, but saw through his own killing moves.

After another two quarters of an hour of fighting, Yao Qianshu saw that there was no possibility of victory on his side, and that any further fight would only be a useless attrition of troops, so he ordered a retreat. And the 500 Fengxiang soldiers who fought from behind the "homeland" troops have all been wiped out.

In this battle, the "homeland" faced Feng Xiang's 2,000 men with 5,000 people, and finally fought a draw, and if it wasn't for Wan Qi Ruiyun's early opportunity and timely adjustment of the troops, the "homeland" would probably taste defeat for the first time.

At the end of the battle, Li Yuxuan, who had already moved his base camp to Ignatius City, felt that something was wrong.

Fifteen hundred sergeants of Fengxiang's reinforcements from the right fort had already arrived in the city of Ignatius, and at the "initiative" of its commander, they laid down their weapons. And Bai Yunqi had already captured the right fort by virtue of his superior forces ten times that of the enemy. All of them were expected by Li Yuxuan, but there was no movement on the Zuobao side. The reinforcements that should have arrived long ago have not yet been found, and as the military commander in this regard, Li Yuyang has not sent a single war message to Ignatius City.

"Family master, could it be that the Fengxiang army in Zuobao didn't send reinforcements, otherwise it should have arrived early!" Li Fang put forward his own opinion.

Li Yuxuan still didn't speak, but the appearance of his forehead tightening clearly showed that he was dissatisfied with the current situation.

"Head of the family, the information from Commander Li has arrived!" a personal soldier rushed into the hall with a roll of parchment in his hand.

Li Yuxuan grabbed the parchment in the hands of his soldiers and immediately opened it.

The content on the parchment was obviously quite long, and it took about a quarter of an hour for Li Yuxuan to finish reading it and hand it over to Li Fang.

"Master of the family, what should I do?" Li Fang was also secretly frightened after reading the contents on the parchment, this was the first time that the "homeland" was invincible since its establishment. And in the case of more fights and fewer fights, it is not clear how Li Yuxuan, as the commander, will deal with this matter.

"The main responsibility for this defeat lies with me, my negligence in planning. There must be something that makes the other side see our tactics of 'encircling the point and sending reinforcements'. ”

"The head of the family does not need to blame himself, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Now is the next step for us to surround Zuobao and break through it, and sweep away the last stumbling block for us to enter Fengxiang?" Li Fang didn't expect Li Yuxuan to take the initiative to take responsibility, it seems that this head of his family has quite a kingly style.

"You led 5,000 ironclad infantry to join Li Yuyang's troops, I don't want to see the enemy there before sunset tomorrow! Also, bring our 'surrender expert', maybe it will come in handy. ”

Li Fang turned around and left, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Li Yuxuan.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yuxuan turned back to the handsome seat, took out a piece of parchment and hurriedly wrote a few words, and took out the seal letter with him, stamped it solemnly, sealed it with wax and handed it to Li Fang.

"This is Wan Qi Ruiyun's order to ascend to the capital, you bring it with you. Also, the deputy commander of Feng Xiang seems to be a rare talent. A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find! Do you know what I mean?"

"The subordinates know, they will definitely bring him back to see the head of the family!" After Li Fang read the battle report just now, he guessed in his heart that Li Yuxuan must have the idea of surrendering Yao Qianshu, and sure enough, it was true. For the current "home", the most important thing is talent.

"Alas, perhaps Feng Xiang is destined to die at my hands. If the commander of the Fengxiang Border Guards was not the timid aristocrat, but Yao Qianshu, who was born as a commoner, he would really taste defeat!" Li Yuxuan sighed.

Fengxiang border, left fort.

Li Fang and Li Yuyang's army had already surrounded this castle at this moment, and Yao Qianshu was at a loss to stand on the wall of the fortress at this time. The entire formation of the "homeland" is rigorous and orderly, and it can be said that it is both offensive and defensive, and it does not give itself a chance at all.

Alas, the fact that the "homeland" was able to have such a record was indeed not caused by luck. To be able to arrange the besieging troops like this, it is not known whether Li Yuxuan is personally present.

Just as Yao was thinking to himself, a general, escorted by dozens of his own soldiers, came under the fortress and stopped outside the range of the archers.

"General Yao can be in the city?" The voice was strong and powerful, and it was obvious that this person's martial arts had reached the realm of a master.

"Who's coming?" Yao Qian's voice was not inferior to the other party, and every word he said was clearly heard by every soldier on both sides of the battlefield.

"Under the 'homeland' Major General Li Fang, Ignatius City and the Right Fort are now under the control of our army, I hope the general will not make unnecessary resistance, the head of the family is also quite admired for you, and ordered me to come to discuss with you, as long as the general can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we will never harm any Fengxiang sergeant. ”

"The city of Ignatius is strong, and it is guarded by 3,000 soldiers, how can it be so easy to take it, and you don't need to stir up the hearts of our army here. ”

"If the general doesn't believe it, look at who is standing in front of our army!"

The coward was escorted to the "homeland" front. At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were glazed, and he didn't seem to have any perception of the things around him, and his mouth was just begging for mercy.

"As long as we can persuade Yao to surrender, we will not only let you go, but also have a sum of money for you to return to your hometown!" Li Fang glared at the coward in disgust. If it weren't for the head of the family, he would have cut off his head a long time ago.

As soon as he heard that he had let himself go, the coward's expression suddenly sobered up. A person rushed to the bottom of the fortress and shouted: "Yao Qianshu, I am the deputy general of the king, I order you to surrender immediately! Did you hear it, I order you to open the city gate and surrender now!"

Yao Qianshu looked down from the city tower, and he was indeed his immediate boss, the commander of the border guards on the western front of the kingdom.

"Bring a bow and arrows!" Yao Qianshu shouted angrily.

The soldier next to him hurriedly handed over a bow and arrow and handed it to Yao Qianshu.

"This is a disgrace to the army, an insult to me and these soldiers who fought bloodily!" Yao Qian's shout made the soldiers on both sides understand what he was going to do.

"Whoosh!"

A green feather arrow passed through the chest of the lieutenant general, and the nobleman, who was bent on his own life, did not escape the call of death.
