Chapter 280: The Great War

After chasing for so long, Li Yue looked at Yao Xiang differently.

Heiyunjun bites so tightly that as long as Yao Xiang gives up on the people, he can easily retreat with his troops, but he has always tried his best to protect the people, and he does not hesitate to break off the rear himself.

The fact that so many people are willing to follow him south shows that he has won the hearts of the people.

Even if it's pretending, it's not easy to do this.

It's a pity that there are too many amazing and brilliant characters in this era, Fu Hong, Ran Min, and Murong Ke, so that the Yao family has little room to play.

Li Yue gave an order, and the Black Cloud Army pressed in on all fronts, no longer caring about the lonely people.

The Xiao cavalry battalion went straight to Yao Xiang's back along the east bank of Yishui.

Yao Xiang also realized that the crisis was coming, and sent a cavalry of 7,000 people to attack and harass to cover the evacuation of the rear.

The cavalry battalion and the enemy repeatedly fought on both sides of the Yishui River.

If it was just a Qiang cavalry, the Black Cloud Army could easily repel it, but every time a fierce battle was in full swing, Meng Kai's three thousand Jin cavalry suddenly came out.

The Jin cavalry was well-equipped, the morale was high, and the combat power was still above the Qiang people, and they actually fought a draw with the Xiao cavalry battalion, and they won and lost each other.

However, Yao Xiang did not give up on the people, and the speed was never fast.

Shi Kun and Xun Xian, who were traveling with them, saw that the situation was not good, threw Yao Xiang behind, and led the army to retreat first.

Yao Xiang suddenly became a lone army, constantly strangled by the Black Cloud Army, the casualties gradually increased, and when he entered the boundary of Tanxian County, Yao Xiang's army obviously couldn't run.

The two armies faced each other, and they were both slightly tired.

But this war is inevitable.

The south wind swept the earth, and the horns on both sides sounded at the same time, which was quite desolate and majestic.

For Li Yue, only by defeating Yao Xiang's main force could he successfully capture Lianghuai.

For Yao Xiang, only by defeating the Black Cloud Army could he retreat to Huainan and get the protection of Jiangdong.

A big war, in fact, does not have so many magic calculations, most of the time, it has to rely on a head-on decisive battle.

And this battle will lay the foundation for Li Yue to dominate the world.

If it is victorious, he can take the two Huai into his arms, and reproduce the situation when Cao Wei suppressed the entire Jiangdong with Huaibei and Shouchun, and the south will not be worry-free from now on, and Li Yue can rest assured that he will go north to compete with the Murong clan in Hebei.

The heritage and potential of the Murong clan in Liaodong, Pingzhou, and Youzhou are definitely not as good as those of Yan, Qing, and Xu.

Those who win the Central Plains win the world is by no means a lie in this era.

A burst of shouts and killings pulled Li Yue back to reality.

On the land, black waves swept across the wilderness, and the cavalry swung like a huge long whip from north to southeast.

An earthy brown cavalry from the opposite side also came in a surge.

After a burst of cavalry fire, the two cavalry crashed together, bursting out with blood flowers.

Directly south, the spears of the foot soldiers and the foot soldiers were entwined, intertwined like dogs' teeth, frantically devouring each other's flesh.

While the fighting spirit is high, there is no way back.

The battle became fierce in an instant, and the entire battlefield seemed to be boiling.

Li Yue's will is the will of the Black Cloud Army, and every soldier of the Black Cloud Army knows the great significance of this battle.

The black cloud generals gradually went crazy, some took off their helmets, held two bones, and brazenly slaughtered into the jungle formed by the enemy's spears, wearing several wounds, resolutely not retreating.

They also led the soldiers around them, and kept moving forward against the enemy's spears.

Every time the Black Cloud Army takes a step forward, the enemy will take a step back.

Their resistance was not fierce, if it was an ordinary army, they would have been frightened by the momentum of the Black Cloud Army, but they still gritted their teeth and resisted.

Several Qiang generals shouted in front of the battle, and the troops behind them also moved forward desperately.

Countless spears intertwined, devouring the flesh and blood of the soldiers on both sides.

The Black Cloud Army had a high fighting spirit, but the enemy had a superiority in strength, and one person fell, and someone immediately filled the vacancy behind.

Everywhere there are red-eyed people who are bleeding profusely, but they are unconscious, they only know how to keep stabbing forward.

Especially the dead soldiers of the forward battalion led by Liang Xiao.

This group of people was born to kill, and the more tragic the battlefield, the more excited they became, swinging wildly forward with axes and maces, and smashing them together with the enemy's spears and armor......

At this point in the fighting, it has come time to test the will and determination of the two armies.

Without the desire to win, confidence in oneself, one will never be the final victor.

The Black Cloud Army was able to stand out from the Central Plains because of its strong desire to fight.

In the past, Li Yue tried his best to suppress the ferociousness of the Black Cloud Army, and when he encountered a big war, he gave priority to preserving his strength.

But now the crucial battle has been completely released.

The fellow Southern Army and the Volunteer Army were shocked by this battle, and the weapons in someone's hands couldn't help but fall unconsciously.

The eyes that looked at Li Yue became even more awe-inspiring.

After fighting frantically for an hour, in the end, it was the Black Cloud Army that gained the upper hand, and several bloody battles tempered their will, and the desire for victory from top to bottom of the army surpassed everything.

Various good news keeps coming:

"Report to the governor, General Liang broke through the front of the thief army, and the thief will be Fu Zicheng!"

"Report to the governor, Gao Du Lieutenant led four hundred black cloud lang to chisel through the enemy formation and capture the flag on nine sides!"

"Report to the governor, General Xu will kill the thief and buy Qiang Bai and Yao Yin!"

Facing the elite of the Black Cloud Army, Yao Xiang gradually fell behind.

Li Yue looked at the battlefield from afar, and the black wave was as fierce as ever, gradually drowning the enemy army.

Some of the enemy forces had already dropped their weapons and fled south.

"Yao Xiang is defeated!" Li Yue's words made the surrounding guards even more happy.

The Southern Army and the Volunteer Army were ready to move.

Li Yue waved his hand, ready to deliver the final blow to Yao Xiang.

However, at this moment, a cavalry of 3,000 people from the west rushed wildly, like thunder, sweeping across the battlefield like a swallow, and even rushed straight to the Chinese army behind Li Yue.

The first general is none other than Li Yue's brother Meng Kai.

Cui Jin asked Li Yue to keep his life, but looking at Meng Kai's posture, it was obvious that he wanted to take Li Yue's life.

The reality is so ironic.

But that's how the battlefield should be, since you're in a different position, you should do your part.

In order to perform in front of Li Yue, the two volunteer armies went forward to intercept one left and one right.

Before he got close, Jin rode thousands of crossbows in unison, shot over a large area, and then the war horse jumped over, picking and killing more than 100 people.

The two rebel armies dispersed in a hurry.

Meng Kai killed in front of the Chinese army in the blink of an eye.

Li Yue could even see Meng Kai's face and his eyes, compared to three years ago, the unruliness on his face was long gone, and only the color of perseverance remained.

Seeing that the cavalry was about to be killed.

The soldiers calmly bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows flew like locusts, galloping towards the Jin army.

The Jin army was all dressed in fine armor, and only shot more than ten horsemen.

The soldiers abandoned the bow and spear, the spear was like a reed column, and the spear array was formed in an instant.

"Kill!" The guards shouted in unison, shaking their spears, and the cold light flashed.

The first few horses were frightened by the cold and let out a long series of neighings.

Li Yue rode his horse and stood under the tooth, and did not take half a step back from beginning to end.

The guards showed a very high fighting quality, calmly and unhurriedly, but the enemy did not dare to attack, and in a turn, the cavalry crossed an arc at a distance of seventy or eighty paces in front of the formation, rushed to the southeast, and rejoined the battlefield.

But at this moment, the general trend of the battlefield is decided.

Meng Kai's 3,000 men were unable to reverse the situation, and they were soon bitten by Xu Cheng's cavalry battalion, strangling each other on the battlefield like two giant snakes.

However, the addition of 3,000 fresh troops also covered the retreat of Yao Xiang's army.
