Chapter 12: The Battle of Chaos

Wangling's fire, and then seeing the Shuai Qi fall, those Yan troops who were still some distance away from the battlefield couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts, after all, everyone knew that Wangling was the command post of the Yan army, and there was their commander Pang Longye there. Just like a person who will be stunned for a period of time after being hit in the brain, the fire in Wangling also made many Yan generals of the Yan army at a loss, not knowing how to continue the next battle, at this time, a surrounded Chu army general suddenly moved, full of fighting spirit, shouted around: "The Yan army is defeated, the Yan army is defeated, you see their command post has been eliminated by us, you see, hurry up and look, it's on that side, the side where the fire is red." Suddenly, the entire Chu army on the battlefield raised a kind of excitement, a kind of excitement for victory, and one of them then shouted: "Kill, kill those rabbits, return to Macheng, kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the morale of the Chu army was unexpectedly long, on the other hand, the morale of the Yan army plummeted, but morale is morale, and the Chu army needs to rely on its own ability if it wants to break through. At this time, the team of the Zhecheng City Lord, who had originally rushed out in front, had been completely submerged by the Chu army behind, except for a few who were stronger in force and could flow out along the flow of people, those women, old people, and children all fell on the battlefield, either trampling to death by the Chu army, or killing by the magic and arrows of the Yan army. Just like a bucket full of water was suddenly shot at the bottom of the side, spraying out in all directions, the soldiers of the Chu army, after leaving the encirclement, fled to Macheng one after another, and at this time, those reinforcements also showed good tactical literacy, slowly resisting the attack of the Yan army, while retreating backwards, while gradually becoming a line formation, the Yan army lost the supreme command of the entire battlefield, but after a while, it recovered from the panic, and then attacked the Chu army that was retreating step by step with more ferocity。 The two-thousand-meter distance is like paved with blood, every time the Chu army takes a step back, some soldiers will fall on the battlefield, Liu Li's three thousand reinforcements stood in place, did not move a little, although so many Chu troops fell in front of them, many soldiers, with an unbearable expression in their eyes, but no one was moving, and some could not be themselves, but they could only hold the unsheathed sword tightly and stand firmly. Kong Ming stood on the head of the city and watched this kind of scene, although he had experienced a more cruel scene than this, and it was not the first time to stand aside as an audience, but when a similar scene appeared in front of his eyes again, he was still a little excited, or rather, the war did not erase all his humanity. And all the city commanders standing at the head of the city also watched this scene excitedly, just like Kong Ming. Xiang Zuoding was holding an iron rod in his hand, and Kong Ming saw that the iron hand made Xiang Zuoding, who had the strength of a great swordsman, deeply press down a handprint.

Thirty minutes later, the Yan army finally came to the front of Liu Li's 3,000 reinforcements, only to see the Chu army let the retreating soldiers through the gap, and then directly faced the attack of the Yan army. From the back of the front row of soldiers, the sky was full of arrows and rain of arrows towards the Yan army, and the soldiers of the Yan army continued to fall, supporting a fighting spirit in the camp of the Yan army, blocking those arrows that were not threatening, and continuing to press towards the camp of the Chu army, and the low-level magic continued to fall in the camps of both sides, Liu Li's reinforcements waited until Ma Bao's army and those rescued reinforcements passed, and gradually and slowly withdrew back, while retreating, shrinking the formation, and slowly retreating into the city. When the west gate of the city was closed, all the people in the city exhaled a breath, this rescue can be said to be a success, it can also be said to be a failure, although a lot of people were rescued, but it was also refilled with the lives of many soldiers, Kong Ming roughly calculated, the people rescued were only about 2,000 people, and the first wave of 8,000 people out of the city came back less than 4,000 people, it can be said that the lives of 4,000 people were exchanged for the vitality of 2,000 people, if there was no such chaos, then there would be no such situation, more people could be rescued, and more reinforcements could be returned, in other words, this operation was more than worth the loss。 After Xiang Zuoding exhaled, his eyes became even more gloomy, and the blood seemed to seep out of it, like a gambler who had lost everything, staring at Xiang Ping and Cao Zhenghong, the city lords of Zhecheng who were brought out of the encirclement. The two lowered their heads, not daring to say a word, for fear of provoking Xiang Zuoding, the more Xiang Zuoding looked at it, the more annoyed he became, this time if these two people only brought those soldiers out, they would not let the Yan army surround a little more than two kilometers from the city if they didn't bring those family members, the soldiers who broke out of the siege would retreat in an orderly manner, and there would be no blocking of the road, let alone the loss of so many elites. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more angry I thought, and finally burst out in a loud roar: "You two pigs!"

When Xiang Zuoding was scolding, Pang Longye also came out of the fire, as a sword saint, such magic would not hurt him, but his magic troops suffered heavy losses. Those great mages and holy mages have nothing, just wolves, and those mages have lost a little more, more than a hundred mages have died, more than fifty of them have died, and the other guards have also burned some to death, the most important thing is that his intention to take mushrooms has not been realized, so that the Chu army has rescued those surrounded troops, although it has achieved the goal of hurting the enemy, but it has not achieved the best effect, which makes him a little depressed, relax, throw those thoughts out, after all, not everything is perfect, it is good to have such a result。 From the beginning of this battle to the present, more than 60,000 Chu troops have been wiped out, and it can be said that the pre-war goal has been achieved, and people must learn to be content.

"Order all troops to withdraw to a distance of three kilometers from Macheng and set up camp. Pang Longye said lightly.

"Yes!" replied a staff officer leaning close to him. And immediately took a rocket from his bosom and threw it into the sky. I saw that above the Wangling Ridge, a red light dragged a long tail and flew into the air, and at the same time, a tearing sound sounded, and all the people on the battlefield were attracted by the red light. After seeing that red light, all the Yan troops stopped the idea of chasing and killing the Chu army, slowly controlled the speed, and slowly withdrew backwards, and then the official order was quickly passed down. All the Yan troops soon stopped three kilometers from Macheng and set up camp.

Seeing that the Yan army stopped and had no more attempts to attack, the generals of the Chu army all breathed a sigh of relief. After Xiang Zuoding saw the Yan army gone, he immediately sent people out of the city to clean up the battlefield, and then dropped a sentence, and he turned around and went back. "You go back to rest, and each of you stands at your own post and waits for the notice. ”

Kong Ming walked back to the barracks, walking very slowly, thinking carefully about today's battle, and Xiang Zuoding's attitude towards Xiang Ping and Cao Zhenghong are all worth remembering, not to mention that in today's battle, if there is no retreat of the two of them, then the team of 8,000 people will not let people catch up and surround it lightly, when breaking through, if there are no people there to block the way of the army, it will not cause chaos in the army, if the army maintains a good formation to retreat, then it will not let the enemy kill and injure so many people so lightly, it can even be said, a large part of the failure of this operation was due to the same command and action of the two pigs. At the same time, Xiang Zuoding's attitude was also undocumented, and there was no investigation for the actions of the two, but a pig was exposed, and they were not further held accountable. In other words, even in a situation like the current catastrophe, the Xiang family is still shielding the people of the Xiang family, in other words, the Chu army is the Xiang family, and the Xiang family is also bad. Thinking about it, Kong Ming couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself, "Why do you want to do so much? Anyway, I'm just here to help!"

"What kind of help?" There was a sentence next to him, this sentence startled Kong Ming, raised his head and looked, it turned out to be a staff officer Guo Lizhi, an officer next to Xiang Zuoding, Kong Ming remembered that it was this staff officer who brought him to the three major teams.

"It turned out to be Guo Shen, do you have any instructions?" Kong Ming said with a smile.

"General Xiang asked me to take you to him, to be an operational staff officer like me, the order has been issued, this is a warrant. Guo Lizhi said his intention, and then pulled out a piece of paper in his hand and gave it to Kong Ming. After Kong Ming took it, he opened it and looked at it, and it read, "Hereby order: Appoint Kong Ming, the former deputy commander of the swordsman battalion, as the staff officer of the combat department, effective immediately." "The next paragraph is the item left and dated. Putting away the warrant, Kong Ming said to Guo Lizhi:

"Hehe, I'm tired, I'll clean up first and go with you right away. ”

"Hehe, no need, after you pack up, you will go to the city to report, don't fight at this time, I still have some things, so I won't pick you up, oh, by the way, you and Cao Zhenghong handed over, he is waiting for you inside. When he had said that, he got on his horse and ran the way he came. Seeing Guo Lizhi disappear at the end of the road, Kong Ming thought about it, and didn't know why Xiang Zuoding would let him be this staff officer.
