Chapter 72: Destroy the Enemy
It was night, and the army of Tianchen quietly left the city through the east gate.
Because some scouts had already figured out the road, although there were enemy outposts along the way, they were all quietly solved, so when the Qi army came to attack the city again the next day, the Tianchen army had already disappeared.
"Chase me!" After receiving the report, Zhang Lin, the marshal of the Qi army, immediately ordered the whole army to chase and kill the Tianchen army.
After a night's march, Chu Chen led the army dozens of miles away, and along the way he left enough traces for the Qi army to pursue, leading them to the three cities of Qing, Shui, and Wanshi.
When the Tianchen army traveled another thirty miles, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.
"This emperor will go to Wanshi County, 30,000 soldiers from the right army will come out to follow this emperor, and other soldiers will go to the two cities of Qing and Shui, remember, people are in the city, the city is broken, this is the final decisive battle, we can only win, not lose, this emperor will use the fastest time to meet you. Before the three armies separated, Chu Chen said to the generals.
"Emperor of Heaven rest assured, the city is here, the city is ruined, and we will never take half a step back!" Wei Wu and the others immediately flipped off their horses, knelt on the ground, and assured Chu Chen.
"Okay, as long as we are united, we will win this battle!" Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Big brother, will I go to Wanshi City with you?" Li Ao said.
"No, you can go to the other two cities. Chu Chen shook his head, and then told everyone again: "You all take good care of yourself and your soldiers, don't let them give their lives easily, remember, your task is to defend the city, as long as you can hold it for three days, we will win this battle!"
"Congratulations to the Emperor of Heaven!" Chu Chen led an army of 30,000 to go, and besides, he took all the wounded with him, and let Wei Wu and them go on the road lightly.
Wanshi City is not very far from this fork in the road, and the army will be able to arrive this evening.
When Chu Chen and the others arrived in Wanshi City, it was already late at night, Lu Youzhi had already ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous meal for the soldiers, this day and two nights of rapid marching did make everyone tired, so, after eating, the 30,000 army went to bed early, and the next day's morning exercise Chu Chen had people cancel, and he didn't let people wake them up, he wanted to let the soldiers sleep enough.
The army of 30,000 slept until noon, smelled the smell of food, and woke up from its deep sleep.
Almost in the middle of the night, Chu Chen received the news from the scouts that the Qi army was divided into three routes, attacking the three cities of Qing, Shui, and Wanshi respectively, and the more than 400,000 Qi troops who attacked the Wanshi County City were only half a day's journey away from the Wanshi County City.
"Emperor of Heaven, in our Wanshi County City, there are only more than 40,000 troops, and more than 10,000 of them have not been on the battlefield, can we win this battle?" Lu Youzhi asked Chu Chen very worriedly.
"Lu Lao rest assured, this emperor never fights uncertain battles, what is the 400,000 Qi army, even if he comes to 1 million, don't think about breaking through Wanshi County. Chu Chen smiled faintly, his face was relaxed, although what he said was a bit exaggerated, he would definitely not be able to stop the million Qi army, but the 400,000 Qi army, he was still sure to deal with it.
That night, the Qi army arrived ten miles away from the town of Wanshi County, where they set up camp and waited for dawn to attack the town of Wanshi County.
At about noon the next day, the Qi army came.
Chu Chen stood on the city tower, quietly looking at the endless Qi army, looking at the huge siege chariots and trebuchets of the Qi army.
"The whole army listens to the order and goes out to battle with the emperor!" Chu Chen opened his mouth, his body jumped up, turned into an afterimage, flew down the city wall, and sat on his own war horse under the city wall, behind him was an army of 30,000 waiting for the battle.
"Kill, kill!!kill !!" The 30,000 soldiers drank together, swallowed mountains and rivers, followed behind Chu Chen, and walked towards the Qi army.
When he came to the front of the formation, Chu Chen raised his right hand, pulled the reins with his left hand, let the horse stop, signaled the army to stop advancing, and then said: "Array!"
As soon as the order was given, the 30,000 army immediately took action, and set up the Tianchen battle formation around Chu Chen and behind him, this formation was really used to kill the enemy for the first time, whether it was the first few times to clash with the Qi army, or the three armies captured the city, they had not used this battle array, this was their Tianchen army's hole card, and now, it was really time to show it.
As soon as the Tianchen battle array came out, all of a sudden, the momentum of all the soldiers became fierce, and the wind that could roll up the dust on the ground blew on the flat ground for no reason, and from a distance, the army couldn't see it really.
"Tianchen anti-thief, surrender quickly, otherwise I won't leave a piece of armor for you!" The general of the Qi army laughed, seeing that Chu Chen and they were only 30,000 people, it was ridiculous in front of their army of more than 400,000 people, and the soldiers of the Qi army did not take the Tianchen army in their eyes, and the Tianchen anti-thieves actually used less than one-tenth of their army to confront them, it was like an egg hitting a stone, and they were unable to measure their strength and seek their own death!
"Recite Qi Xuanwen. Chu Chen looked at the Qi army in front of him, smiled sarcastically, and spoke.
Immediately, the general raised his head, and then all the soldiers read aloud.
"Qi Emperor Qi Hao, slow to repent of heaven and earth, contrary to reason. The dove killed the emperor's brother and usurped his throne. Falsifying the mandate of heaven, pretending to be a talisman, deceiving the people, and angering the heavens...... Honoring the thief, trusting the traitor, and harming the loyal and good...... forcibly expropriated and extorted, and the people were stripped of their ...... The flood fell from heaven, and the people were displaced, but instead of the people...... Hunger is everywhere, and the cities are empty......"
"Kill!!" Hearing the Tianchen army read the Qi Wen, suddenly, the Qi Army's face changed, and he yelled, ordering the army to attack, this Qi Qi Wen can be described as to be to the point, with the power to shake the heart of the army, the main general naturally does not allow such a thing to appear, so you can order the army to attack.
Soon, almost two-thirds of the Qi army stepped into Chu Chen's formation, and immediately, Chu Chen jumped up from his horse, his hands flashed, and one after another the seals were pinched out and hit the ground, and after his body fell to the ground, he suddenly slapped his palm on the main base, and suddenly, all the formation bases were activated, and pillars of light suddenly rose from the ground, gathering in the sky in a blink of an eye, bursting out with dazzling light, however, these lights are not ordinary lights, if someone endures the stinging pain in their eyes at this time, they will definitely see that this light is a small sword of light, they fall from the sky, dense like a torrential rain!
"Ahh......h A miserable scream came, and the Qi army suffered countless casualties in the blink of an eye, I don't know how many Qi soldiers were shot into a sieve by the rain of swords, and the ground was soaked with blood after just a few breaths, and in the formation, it instantly turned into Shura hell.
Those Qi soldiers who did not enter the formation, after the strong light disappeared, looked at the battlefield in front of them, and were instantly frightened by the scene they saw, and their minds were instantly blank, this was too terrifying, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of people turned into dead corpses, which was completely beyond their imagination......
"The whole army obeys the order, kill me!!" When the sword rain in the formation disappeared, Chu Chen waved his hand and ordered the army to attack.
"Kill!!!Kill!!"
