Chapter 180: The Cliff Lifts
Ning Wuji's mind was blank at this time, what was going on with these cavalry falling from the sky?
Why did he appear behind him without warning, could it be reinforcements from the capital? Impossible! The prince is mediocre, and the national teacher also supports the king of Lin'an to raise troops, how can he send the royal forest army from the capital to support?
Ning Tianci hurriedly rushed back to his father's side and shouted in Ning Wuji's ear: "Father, it's reinforcements, the reinforcements from the capital are coming, let's flee quickly!" Can't hold it! ”
Ning Tianci's shouts made Ning Wuji instantly regain consciousness. Looking at the collapsed Lin'an army in front of him, he just wanted to let the left and right orders stabilize his position and prepare to meet the enemy, but when he looked up into the distance, he suddenly saw a military flag erected high in the tiger and wolf army that rushed towards him.
Ning Wuji's face turned pale suddenly, his eyes were full of horror, and he opened a big mouth that wanted to speak, but couldn't say a word, and looked into the distance in a daze.
Ning Tianci saw his father's suddenly strange expression, and immediately looked in the direction of his father's gaze, and in the reinforcement array, a yellow flag was raised high, fluttering in the wind - "Dragon Flag!" ”
"This... This... No way! How could it be that the Holy Emperor drove the expedition in person! ”
After Ning Tianci saw the Dragon Flag, his back was cold, and his body became weak. He was just about to confirm with his father whether what he saw was a dragon flag when he heard a "plop" sound!
When he turned around, his father Ning Wuji had fallen heavily from his horse and fainted motionless.
"Father ... Father... I vaguely heard the shouting of his son Ning Tianci in his ears, but Ning Wuji didn't react at all.
Chen Wangsong looked at the collapsed Lin'an army in front of him, and then looked at the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army who became more and more brave the more he fought, and immediately made a decision. Ordered Zhu Tianqi to lead the disciples of the One Thousand Heavenly Lan Sect and the One Thousand Vast Cliff Defenders, open the city gates, go out of the city to cooperate with the Imperial Forest Army, and attack the rebels on both sides.
It is necessary to leave all the 20,000 rebels outside the West City Gate and not give them any chance to escape, which can greatly relieve the pressure on the East City Gate to defend the city.
Zhu Tianqi is waiting for Chen Wangsong to issue a military order!
Shout "Good!" ”
I saw that he excitedly picked up the Xuantie Treasure Sword in his hand, and with the disciples of the Thousand Heavenly Lan Sect and the thousand defenders of the Vast Cliff, he rushed out of the West Gate of the Vast Cliff with great momentum, and rushed towards the Lin'an army that was already in chaos.
Everywhere they went, the rebels had no resistance and fell under the blades of the disciples of the Tianlan Sect and the defenders of the Vast Cliff.
Under the attack of the Imperial Forest Army and the disciples of the Tianlan Sect, the leaderless Lin'an army was completely defeated, lost its armor, called its father and mother, and was embarrassed, and had no intention of resisting at all. They threw away the weapons in their hands and fell to their knees, holding their heads in their hands, begging for mercy and not killing.
At this time, outside the southern city gate of the cliff, the 5,000 cavalry of the Lin'an army had just received the order of Kite Fei to withdraw the army, and they did not hesitate to retreat to the east in an orderly manner under the leadership of the cavalry, without the slightest intention of rescuing the 20,000 troops at the west city gate.
Tietou and Li Ronghao also received the news of the retreat of the rebels at the East City Gate from Tiansha, and immediately opened the city gate and led the defenders of the South Gate to pursue the retreating rebel cavalry.
As soon as the south gate opened, the two iron horsemen, silver and black gold, like a torrent that opened the gates, quickly surged towards the rebel cavalry that had been evacuated more than a mile away. The soldiers of every genius battalion fought bravely to be the first, and rushed to kill the rebels who fled in the desert without blood. Almost a cup of tea, the two genius battalions had already caught up with the rebel brigade that fled in a panic.
A massacre is officially taking place...
Spears and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears flew by whizzing, dense rain of guns like locusts crossing the border, dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
How can the rebels be the opponents of the genius battalion of more than one hundred and sixty talents, almost one knife and one life, one shot and one person fall off the horse, and in less than half an hour, the genius battalion killed more than 4,000 rebel cavalry.
The sound of slaughter resounded throughout the land, the yellow sand was all over the sky, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses of the rebels were scattered all over the battlefield. However, only some of the personnel of the two genius battalions were slightly injured, and none of them died.
After this war, the prestige of the Fengxiao Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion resounded throughout the Lizhou Continent, and no one knew about it.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the soldiers who knelt on the ground, Chen Wangsong and Jiang Shaoning, one on the city wall and the other under the city wall, bowed.
Chen Wangsong already knew that His Majesty had come to recruit him when he saw the Dragon Banner, so he had to report to Lin Shanhai as soon as possible and prepare to welcome the Holy Driver.
Jiang Shaoning also reorganized the army, seized weapons and collected prisoners, and then sent people back to the barracks to report on the victorious military situation.
Hearing the news of the victory on the front line, Zhao Wenkai was overjoyed, and immediately issued an order to write down the military exploits, and wait for the reward of meritorious deeds after the war, and never leave behind a person's military exploits.
And the court officials around him also congratulated His Majesty in unison, after all, the impact of the imperial expedition is huge, coupled with the victory in the first battle, it will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of the Liyang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, while the rebels are initially defeated and the morale of the army is unstable, we should continue to pursue the rebels, and we can't give them a chance to breathe!" The ninth princess, Zhao Yuting, made suggestions to Zhao Wenkai.
Take advantage of your illness to kill you! The Ninth Princess knew that if she didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, she would wait for when.
Moreover, the cliff has been besieged by the Lin'an army for nearly two months, and the morale and energy of the army and civilians have dropped to the lowest point. It was also an opportunity to stimulate everyone's low morale. Let the cliff rekindle confidence and better meet the battle ahead.
Zhao Wenkai nodded, and immediately ordered to pursue the Lin'an rebels with all his might.
Jiang Shaoning received the order, and immediately took the 5,000 vanguard cavalry who were not damaged, around the south gate of the Boundless Cliff City, and chased after the 80,000 rebels who had slowly retreated five miles to the east of the Boundless Cliff. On the way, he did not forget to assist the two genius battalions together, strangle the last 1,000 rebel cavalry, merge the two armies, and jointly whip and drive the horses, chasing and killing the 80,000 army.
At this time, in the Vast Cliff City, Lin Shanhai and others had also received the report of the battle at the West City Gate from Tiansha, and Chen Wangsong arrived in time to report the battle outside the West City Gate, and brought the good news of His Majesty's personal expedition to Lin Shanhai.
In an instant, the morale of the army and the people was greatly boosted, and Lin Shanhai was overjoyed after hearing that His Majesty had personally conquered! Immediately order all the disciples of the Tianlan Sect in the Vast Cliff to cooperate with the Royal Forest Army to pursue the Lin'an rebels, and be sure to give the rebels the greatest damage, frustrate their spirit, and hurt their troops.
He personally and Huo Minhua rectified the rest of the Cliff defenders, and led all the people of the Cliff to gather at the West City Gate to welcome His Majesty's holy drive!
The vast cliff, which had been suppressed by the Lin'an army for two months, finally got rid of the haze and ushered in a big victory with high eyebrows!
