Volume III Chapter 723

Seeing Meng Xiong, who was loudly directing the Yan soldiers out of the city, Lin Haotian shouted: "General Meng!"

Hearing that someone summoned him, Meng Xiong immediately looked for prestige, and saw that the person who summoned him was the commander of the Jin Army, he hurriedly urged the horse over, and when Lin Haotian approached, he turned over and dismounted, intervened to give a salute, and said: "General Lin!"

"Is the battle in the city over?"

"Back to General Lin, the main force of the Yan army defending the city has been annihilated by our army, and now there are only some small groups of Yan soldiers fleeing in all directions, there is no need to worry, the last general has to hurry up and lead the brothers to the general to participate in the battle, if it is too late, I am afraid that the general will not be able to withstand it. ”

Lin Haotian nodded understandingly, the strength of the Yin Kai side was less than 40,000, and it was a little difficult to compete with the Yan army that was close to 100,000 people, he said: "Soldier God, General Meng go quickly!"

Meng Xiong answered, arched his hand to Lin Haotian again, and then led the troops to leave the city quickly.

Batches of You troops drove out of Qijia City and went straight to the main battlefield more than 20 miles away.

At this time, the You army led by Yin Kai had launched a full-scale confrontation with the Yan army led by Chen Hua, which was a head-on battle without any opportunistic shortcuts.

As soon as the battle began, Chen Hua realized that the rebels were not quite right, compared with the rebels in the battle on the Wangxi Plain, the group of rebels in front of him had much less troops, but they already knew how to use the formation, and the formation they used was still very strange.

Different from the regular formation, the rebels are in groups of several people, and each group will be separated by a little distance, but the distance is not large, and they can take care of each other.

This formation is somewhat similar to the fish scale formation, but it is not the same, and it can be said that it is completely tailored according to the characteristics of the special people.

In especially human combat, it has always been important to rush and fight, if you stand densely according to the regular formation. It will inevitably greatly restrict the swing of Youren's individual combat power, and now the formation used by Youren not only takes into account the overall cooperation, but also allows the individual combat power to be waved to the maximum, so that the overall combat power of Youren can be improved by a grade compared to before.

Chen Hua originally thought that 90,000 against 40,000 could win and decide, but after the soldiers on both sides handed over, he realized that the battle was not as simple as he imagined. The rebel army on the other side is no longer the rebel army he knows, let alone the battle is decided, even if it is a tug-of-war, it is still unknown whether his side can win in the end!

"General Chen!" Gao Peng said in surprise while looking at the battle situation in front of him: "Are the rebels using a formation now?"

Chen Hua muttered, "It should be!"

"Please forgive me for being clumsy, whether it is in the book of war or in front of the two armies, how come I have never seen such a strange formation!" Gao Peng said with a frown.

His words immediately resonated with the other two generals, and Feng Yu and Chai Song also nodded again and again, and replied, "Yes." General Gao is right, the formation used by the rebels now is indeed weird, it seems to be a formation, it seems to be a chaotic battle and not a chaotic battle, I can't understand it!"

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and a formation that can win a battle is a good formation!" Chen Hua took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "It seems." There are already capable people in the rebel army to guide the battle, and this battle is ...... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult!"

He was talking. Suddenly, the rear army of the Yan army was in chaos, and Chen Hua and the others were about to send someone to the rear army to check what was going on, when a Yan soldier ran over first and said urgently: "Report to the general, the big thing is not good." Suddenly kill the rebels in the rear of our army!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Chen Hua, Gao Peng, Feng Yu, and Chai Song's faces changed suddenly, could it be that as Yin Kai said, there were hidden ambushes in Qijia City. Killed now?

Before Chen Hua could ask, Gao Peng had already shouted urgently: "Where did the rebels come from, and how many troops did the rebels have?"

"Back to ...... Returning to General Gao, the rebels seem to be coming from the direction of Qijia City, as for the strength of the troops...... The rebels have so many troops that they can't see the margin, and they can't be counted!," the messenger stammered.

After listening to the words of the soldiers, the four generals Chen Hua secretly said in their hearts: Oops! It seems that the rebels are not playing tricks, but they have indeed laid an ambush in Qijia City, but there is one thing they can't understand, where did the rebels get so many troops? The rebels are also stationed in various places, and they divide their own troops to attack and conquer so many places, so it stands to reason that they should also annihilate a lot of rebels, how can the rebels die more and more?

Chai Song said to Chen Hua urgently: "General Chen, it seems that the two corps of our army stationed in Qijia City have been more auspicious, and now the rebels are attacking from behind our army, and they are attacked by the enemy on their backs, this battle really can't be fought anymore, we have to retreat quickly!"

Feng Yu shook his head and said: "No, now our army must not retreat, we finally brought the rebels* to a dead end and launched a frontal decisive battle. ”

"But if you don't retreat at this time, the rebels will attack before and after, and our army is in danger of being annihilated!"

"Ben Shuai doesn't believe that the rebels will have so many troops, and they can kill all the soldiers of the two corps left by our army in Qijia City in such a short period of time, perhaps, the rebels are not from Qijia City at all, if we retreat now, none of the 20,000 brothers left in Qijia City will survive!"

"In order to rescue 20,000 soldiers, do you have to risk the lives of the whole army?"

Chai Song and Feng Yu couldn't argue, Gao Peng had no idea now, turned his head to look at Chen Hua, and said in a low voice: "General Chen, you have to quickly get an idea, whether our army is withdrawing or fighting now!"

"This ...... Let me think about it again!" Chen Hua's eyes kept rolling, and he knew what to do for a while

You know, he commanded four legions to encircle and suppress the rebels, and if he was repelled by the rebels in turn, he wouldn't want to raise his head again in his life, but judging from the current battle situation, the death battle is indeed in danger of annihilation.

After Chen Huasi thought about it, he was finally ruthless, gritted his teeth, and was about to order the withdrawal of troops, Feng Yu preemptively said: "General Chen, you give Ben Shuai 20,000 soldiers and horses, Ben Shuai is willing to lead 20,000 soldiers to meet the rebels in the rear, Ben Shuai wants to see if these rebels fell from the sky or jumped out of the cracks in the stones!"

"This ......"

"My dignified Great Yan Central Army, if you are defeated by the rebels and flee back, you can lose this face, but this commander can't afford to lose it. If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw yourself, and this commander will swear to fight the rebels to the end!" Feng Yu was anxious and angry, and his face was red. The hair is all open.

What he said was exactly what Chen Hua was worried about, he pondered for a while, nodded heavily, and said, "It's okay, General Feng, I'll give you 30,000 soldiers." If there are too many enemy forces coming from the rear, and it is difficult for you to resist them, retreat immediately, stay in the green mountains, and not be afraid of running out of firewood, even if we are defeated this time, we can still gather troops from all over the country, regroup, and fight the rebels again! Take 10,000 steps back. We can wait for General Lu You's reinforcements to arrive, join forces in one place, and then fight the rebels to the death!"

"Haha-"

Feng Yu laughed and said proudly: "Just a rebel, how to be afraid, this commander will kill all the rebels this time, and there will be no future trouble!"

In the case of being attacked on the back and unwilling to retreat. Chen Hua accepted Feng Yu's invitation and gave him 30,000 Yan Army. Let him go to the rear to meet the attacking You army.

The You army who rushed over from Qijia City also made a fatal mistake, they did not rush over in formation, but in batches.

Worried that Yin Kai would not be able to stop the main force of the Yan army, the You army in Qijia City was also in a hurry, and after a large number of You troops left the city, they did not wait for the people behind to leave the city. They were in groups of three or five, rushing towards the main battlefield like a plate of scattered sand.

As a result, before they had time to assemble, they ran into Feng Yuyi, who took the initiative to kill.

Looking at the sparse You Jun on the opposite side, Feng Yu smiled so much that the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the root of his ears, this is the so-called rebel ambush? 100,000 people? It is simply a big joke in the world. If they were scared away by such a rabble, they would have to lose the face of Yanguo.

He immediately gave the order that the whole army should be lined up, and the archers should go forward and shoot all the enemies in front of them.

Under the arrow array of the Yan army, You Bing ran over a group, and was shot a group, and it didn't take long for the corpses of the You soldiers to be stacked in front of the Yan army's camp, and they couldn't count how many people were shot.

Seeing that You Jun was rushing to kill him without any threat, Feng Yu laughed again and again, this battle was too easy, and he thought that the rebels' ambush soldiers were amazing, it turned out that they were all reckless and mindless people.

Feng Yuzheng was secretly proud in his heart, at this time, Meng Xiong, the commander of the You army, arrived, and saw that the Yan army in front was already in full array, and the soldiers on his side were still rushing forward like headless flies, he immediately ordered the soldiers in front to retreat and assemble the whole army.

Under Meng Xiong's command, the You army finally stopped its suicidal charge, and the people began to assemble on the opposite side of the Yan army.

At the beginning, You Jun's camp was only a small piece, but as more and more soldiers caught up in the rear, You Jun's camp became larger and larger, and in the end, the size of its camp even exceeded that of the Yan Army on the other side.

It was only at this time that Feng Yu realized that the number of rebels was far more numerous than he expected. However, after the scene of the rebels rushing to kill just now, he didn't pay too much attention to the rebels on the other side, and when he saw that the rebels had completed the formation, he sneered and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Today's battle is a battle in which we have made meritorious contributions, and in this battle, we vow to put down the rebels and raise the prestige of our army!"

"Kill—"

Feng Yu responded, and a shout of killing sounded in the Yan army camp.

Soon, the archers in the Yan army retreated, the shield men pushed forward, and then the whole army lined up and advanced.

Seeing that the Yan army on the opposite side had already pressed over, Meng Xiong raised his long knife high and shouted: "Avenge the country, wash away the shame of the country, kill all the Yan thieves, restore my country, kill!"

"Kill-" The You army camp also shouted to kill.

Next is the reverse advance of the two camps, in the process of advancing, both sides released arrows, the sound of arrows breaking armor in the camps on both sides of the camp one after another, the soldiers who went forward from time to time were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

When the two sides came into contact, hand-to-hand combat officially began.

On the battlefield, the front armies of both sides were fighting bloodily, and the rear armies were not idle, constantly firing arrows at the opposite side, and the sound of weapons colliding with weapons, the sound of sharp blades piercing armor, the whistling of arrows back and forth, and the shouts and screams of people have been connected.

With the same strength and morale of the two sides, I am afraid that only the individual legions of the Jin State can compete with the You army.

At this time, the battle between the two sides was difficult to distinguish at the beginning, but as the battle continued, the Yan army began to be unable to support it.

Seeing this scene, Feng Yu was in a hurry, he drew his sword and shouted at the soldiers of the Yan army around him: "Cower and kill." Kill those who retreat from battle, and kill those who flee in a cowardly battle!"

It's a pity that the difference in combat strength between the two sides is too great, and it can no longer be made up by tenacious fighting spirit.

On the battlefield, the red-eyed You is no different from a wild beast, and the weapon in his hand is cut off. They flew straight forward, punching, headbutting, and biting with their teeth, all with weapons.

On the other hand, the Yan army on the opposite side, people's faces were full of horror, and their hands holding weapons were trembling, and they themselves had already involuntarily retreated again and again without being knocked back by the You army.

Feng Yu was unwilling to be defeated by the rebels. He couldn't stand such humiliation, at this time, the Yan army was obviously defeated, but he would rather grit his teeth than give the order to retreat, and commanded the soldiers of the Yan army to continue to fight to the death with You Jun.

As the Yan army's forces became smaller and smaller, and the camp retreated more and more, Meng Xiong saw Feng Yu who was commanding the battle in the Yan army's crowd.

He didn't know who Feng Yu was, but looking at his dazzling golden armor, he immediately judged that this person's military rank should not be low.

Meng Xiong was silent. Stuffy head rushed in the direction where Feng Yu was, and when he was only ten meters away from Feng Yu. The guards around Feng Yu finally noticed Meng Xiong.

The guards exclaimed: "It's not good, the enemy general is coming, the general is retreating!"

But at this time, if they wanted to retreat again, it was too late, Meng Xiong suddenly screamed, urging the horse to rush towards Feng Yu.

Three guards roared at Meng Xiong. I hope to stop him and buy as much time as possible for the coach to retreat, but they rush up fast and fall faster, and Meng Xiong's force is not under Lei Hong at all. The martial arts are strong and powerful, and the long knives are rounded, even if the guards barely block them with weapons, they are also shocked to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses, and they are either killed on the spot or stunned.

Feng Yu's guards were like mustard in front of Meng Xiong, the latter continuously struck out heavy knives, like a bamboo, killing the crowd of guards in one breath, urging the horse to come to Feng Yu's approach, the long knife in his hand was rounded, and he immediately slashed down Huashan.

Speaking of Feng Yu's martial arts, he is an orthodox military general, even if he is old now, his cultivation is exquisite, but under Meng Xiong's brute force, his cultivation is useless.

He blocked Meng Xiong's heavy knife with his horizontal sword, and a loud click was heard in the ear chakra, and Feng Yu's sword-holding arms were all broken, and even with it, the four hooves of the war horse under his crotch were also broken, and he knelt on the ground.

Without giving Feng Yu a chance to breathe, Meng Xiong waved his long knife horizontally and shouted, "Take your head!"

"Pounce!"

This knife directly cut off Feng Yu's neck and lifted his head into the air.

Without waiting for the other person's head to fall, Meng Xiong reached out with one hand, just clasped the severed head in the air in his hand, he held the head that kept dripping blood high above his head, laughed wildly, turned around and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, brothers kill all the flame thieves for me!"

Feng Yu's death was tantamount to the most fatal blow to the Yan army, and the next battle could not be regarded as a battle at all, and became a one-sided massacre, the morale of the soldiers of the You army was greatly boosted, and people screamed and rushed forward, on the other hand, the Yan army, from the soldiers to the generals, were all frightened and frightened, and they had no intention of fighting, and people were defeated in groups.

Under the leadership of Meng Xiong, the You army chased and killed, and the soldiers of the Yan army fled all the way, died all the way, and there were countless casualties.

The battle on their side was clearly seen by Lin Haotian and the others not far away.

The battle was quite strong, and Feng Yu, who commanded the Yan Army, was also a famous general of the Yan State, but the battle situation was completely one-sided, which made people sigh and sigh at the same time, and at the same time, they couldn't help but have a sense of fear for You Jun.

Wang Han said in a low voice: "My lord, the strength of the You Army is really rare in the world!"

"Yes!" Shao Lin sighed: "In terms of combat strength alone, the combat power of the You Army is by no means inferior to that of the First Army. ”

Wang Han continued: "Now the You Army is only tens of thousands of people, so it's not a matter of worry, but if it is allowed to grow and become hundreds of thousands, or even millions, it will be the first army of millions, not to mention sweeping the Yan Country, even if it is sweeping the world, it is not surprising!"

"Haha!" Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, looked at Wang Han, and then looked at Shao Lin, who also had a worried face, and said: "I can make You Jun resurrect, and I can also destroy them in one fell swoop, there is nothing to worry about." I'm interested in what Yin Xiang will do when the Yan Imperial Court learns that the four legions stationed in Yusi have been wiped out by the rebels?"

Wang Han thought for a moment and said, "I think, Yin Xiang should send the strongest legion and the most powerful generals of the Yan Country to Youdi to quell the chaos." ”

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it were me, I would definitely go out in person and fight a decisive battle with the rebels." ”

Wang Han and Shao Lin glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and the former said, "Not every monarch has the courage of an adult. "Of course, it can also be said that not everyone is as belligerent as Lin Haotian.

Shao Lin looked at the battlefield that was getting farther and farther away, and asked, "My lord, should we go over and watch the battle?"

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said: "There is no need to look at the next battle, I think what the You army needs most now is only the armaments and money and food that our country assists, not us." ”

"What do you mean by ......"

"We can go back to Willow River. Lin Haotian stretched his muscles, looked around, shook his head and sighed: "Youdi is still as barren and barren as ever, and it is really not a suitable place to play. ”

Wang Han said: "You army before and after the Yan army, although the victory is in hand, but the strength is too small after all, may not be able to completely annihilate the Yan army, if the remnants of the Yan army retreat, eight or nine times out of ten will retreat to the north, if we go to the north now, we should be able to intercept a lot of the remnants of the Yan army, and even, we may also meet Chen Hua, the commander of the Yan army." ”

Lin Haotian smiled and asked, "What if you run into it?"

Shao Lin Zhengse said: "Of course you killed him, Chen Hua is also a famous general of the Yan Kingdom, get rid of this person......"

"Getting rid of this person will only give the truly talented generals of the Yan Kingdom a chance to be promoted. Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "For a person like Chen Hua, it may be more beneficial to let him survive than to kill him." Let's go, this is not our battlefield in the first place. ”

Wang Han thought about it for a while, and felt that Lin Haotian's words also had a certain amount of truth, so he nodded and responded: "What the adults said is extremely true!"

Lin Haotian smiled, didn't say anything more, and sent a demon underworld warrior personnel to send a letter to Nie Shu, explaining his whereabouts, and by the way, bringing back his own personnel who remained in the You army, and then, he took Wang Han and the others to the northeast and returned to Liuhe. (To be continued......)
