Chapter 598: The Dust Settles (Part II)

"Ah-" "Ah-" Two screams in succession, Zhao Zichuan rode up on horseback, and the moment the Qiankun sword light saw blood, Meng Yuan and the two generals died and fell off their horses......

In front of the Jinjun Pass, Zhao Zichuan alone has killed the five generals of Mengyuan, its power is unstoppable, and the generals in the Yanji Tai Formation are frightened, holding troops to guard the pass and dare not go forward.

Yan Jitai himself was also secretly trembling, he had heard that there were many brave soldiers in the Tang Army, but he did not meet in person; now when he saw it, Zhao Zichuan flew with two swords in his hand, and his bravery was unmatched, and he was the first good general in the army, and no one could compare with him......

Tang Zhan sat in the army, and when he saw that the enemy army guarding Guanmengyuan was shaking, he immediately launched a round of attacks. The military order was immediately issued, and the vanguard army marched in a wild goose formation on the left and right steps, taking advantage of the charging momentum of the generals of the previous army Zhao Zichuan, Li Xian, Li Gong and other generals, wanting to spread left and right, encircling and breaking through the heights of the county.

Seeing that the Tang army had the potential to attack the county, Yan Jitai then instructed all strongholds on the high ground to treat them strictly, and blocked them with bows and crossbows and rocks.

Sure enough, Yan Jitai defended properly, and even if the army's morale fluctuated, he could march calmly. The vanguard troops marched forward, but the climbing infantry was strongly blocked, and Tang Zhan had to order a postponement of the attack......

The left and right heights could not break through, and the only advantage in the battle was that only Zhao Zichuan's charging troops were overwhelmed. Tang Zhan did not withdraw the military order, Zhao Zichuan continued to fly on his horse, rode fast alone, and even rushed into the crossing of the hillside and high ground, and was able to fly in front of Yan Jitai in just a few steps.

"My lord, hurry back to the position-" The soldiers on the left and right saw Zhao Zichuan Pegasus coming bravely, and drew their swords to protect him, "Protect your lordship and retreat, stop him!"

Sure enough, the left and right Mengyuan soldiers had spears and swords. Nearly 100 people built a "thorny steel city wall" in front of Yan Jitai, wanting to stop Zhao Zichuan's charge.

However, Zhao Zichuan had no intention of retreating, and the two swords of Qiankun killed the Mengyuan soldiers who wanted to intercept them on the one hand, and accelerated the speed of the cavalry on the other hand...... "Ah-ah-ah......" Wherever the horse went, there were countless corpses of Mengyuan soldiers on the left and right. Zhao Zichuan flew through the bloody pass, even if there were thorny wolf fangs in front of him, he already saw blood light and shadow in his eyes, and the next moment the sword light would come out of the sky and kill the enemy.

"Flying Horse Zhao Zichuan killed-" Zhao Zichuan was still shouting bloody slogans, the left and right swords were facing each other, and the sword blade pointed directly at Yan Jijitai's face in front of him, and shouted sharply, "Old guy." Come on!"

This stunned sound made Yan Jitai frightened for a while, he fought a lifetime of battles, calculated a lifetime of plans, this is the first time in his history to meet the person who made him tremble - Zhao Zichuan, flying on horseback, like a god of death in his eyes, Yan Jitai wanted to flee from this place immediately, but his eyes were unconsciously inseparable from the approach of Zhao Zichuan's flying figure......

"Kill him—" The soldiers who protected Yan Jitai wanted to step forward to stop him. Desperately drew his sword and walked forward.

Zhao Zichuan's eyes were certain, and the long sword in his hand had already been drawn...... The two yellow-green sword lights were like lightning bolts. In the blink of an eye, it was already across the sky, and Zhao Zichuan's flying speed did not decrease, passing through the moment of intercepting the enemy general, and he did not look back, and the general Meng Yuan who swore to intercept just now was already in a different place. It was only a moment to kill the enemy, and the flying horse galloped past. He couldn't even see the action of the move clearly, and Zhao Zichuan broke through the enemy's thousands of troops like thunder.

"Protect your lordship, go up-" The Mengyuan soldiers in the front row of the "steel city wall" also swore to the death, and they raised their swords one after another, and soon hundreds of Mengyuan soldiers surrounded Zhao Zichuan. Yan Jitai couldn't see Zhao Zichuan's figure in the crowd for the time being, but he heard the screams and blood splashing in the military formation......

Yan Jitai finally came back to his senses, but the screams in his ears and the sharpening of the sword still lingered, making Yan Jitai a little disturbed. Only then did the soldier beside him remind Yan Jitai to retreat to the mountain of Jinjun......

"Ah-" "Ah-" "Ah-" However, before Yan Jitai could turn around a few steps, there was a scream from behind Meng Yuan after the army fell to the ground. Yan Jitai couldn't stand looking back, but saw Zhao Zichuan flying his front hooves, holding the two swords of Qiankun flashing an inextinguishable cold light, although the Mengyuan soldiers who rushed up just now did not all send them to the funeral, but they were also shocked by the momentum of the brave and fell to the ground, letting out a chattering scream.

"Huh-" The neighing of horses' hooves in the sky seemed to shock the soul of Yan Jitai, who stumbled and stumbled a few steps by the mountain rock. However, the horse's hooves of "Da Da-" came like a shadow, Zhao Zichuan's flying horse was already approaching the mountain, and Yan Jitai's ears sounded with the sorrow of the sword light, and it seemed that Zhao Zichuan would be able to take his life when he took out his sword in the next moment......

"Bell-" At the critical moment, it was the guard beside Yan Jitai who stopped him in time and blocked Zhao Zichuan's sword with his sword.

"My lord, go quickly-" Yan Jitai's subordinates were still reminding, Yan Jitai came to his senses at this time, and after stumbling and falling to the ground, he looked at Zhao Zichuan's murderous power, and was so frightened that he immediately turned around and fled. This time, he didn't hesitate any longer, no matter what the situation behind him was, he didn't look back, he just wanted to leave here quickly and retreat to the rear position - this was the most embarrassing time in Yanjitai Bazaduo's life......

"Ah-" However, the personal blocking was really useless, Zhao Zichuan Pegasus slashed the blocking Meng Yuan soldiers with a sword, killing them with one move. The purpose of Zhao Zichuan's adventurous charge this time was to directly take the enemy's main general, Yan Jitai, and when he looked up again and saw that Yan Jitai had fled far away, Zhao Zichuan began to hesitate whether to continue the pursuit. And at the moment when Zhao Zichuan hesitated, there were countless Mengyuan soldiers around......

Tang Zhan saw that Zhao Zichuan had penetrated too deep into the enemy at the foot of the mountain, and he was afraid that it would happen, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to say: "Go and spread the word that General Zhao has withdrawn, the enemy army will reorganize its stronghold and defend, and it will be difficult to take it by hard attack——"

The vanguard cavalry was ordered to move......

"General, there is a large army approaching in the direction of Xuzhou-" As Tang Zhan led his troops to concentrate on attacking Jinjun, the soldiers in the rear hurried back to report.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Zhan didn't seem to realize it, but when he heard the hooves of horses outside the Wolf Pass, he turned around and worried, "Could it be reinforcements from Xuzhou......?"

"Don't worry-" Just as he was nervous, Lu Jing suddenly walked over from the back camp, appeared in front of Tang Zhan, and said with a slight smile, "Fool, you have worked hard, just leave it to me next......"

"Jing'er?" Tang Zhan, who was the commander of the whole plan, didn't seem to be clear, and looked at Lu Jing with a puzzled look......

At the crossing of Jinjun Road, Zhao Zichuan did break into too deep. Seeing that the surrounding Mengyuan soldiers were gathering more and more, they would be deeply trapped in it if they hesitated. Zhao Zichuan realized that he was in a hurry, although he broke through all the way and killed countless enemy soldiers, but he couldn't be in a hurry, and he heard the soldiers in the army shouting the retreat order, Zhao Zichuan decided to temporarily give up the pursuit and retreat......

After a panic in Yanjitai. retreated to the high ground for a long time, and saw that Zhao Zichuan had given up the pursuit and that he was finally safe, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still shocked when he remembered the scene just now......

"My lord, look, what is that?" was thinking about how to continue to use troops in Yanjitai, but the soldiers beside him reminded him to look in the direction of Xuzhou City outside the Wolf Pass.

Yan Jitai was far-sighted, seeing the rolling yellow dust horseshoe that arrived outside the wolf pass, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly...... "It's coming......" Yan Jitai's expression changed lanes. "It is the reinforcements of Li Junshi and General Tan, who converged with our army at Wolf Zi Pass according to the original plan, and counterattacked and annihilated the enemy army with a flanking attack-"

"That's right," the soldier continued, "The enemy forces below have also moved, and Tang Zhan's army seems to have begun to retreat to the side, and it seems that they have also realized that they have fallen into the trap of your lordship......

"That's right, that Lu girl is also a smart person. But it's already too late......" Yan Jitai's eyes changed, and then ordered. "Order, the whole army at the Jinjun Pass will be dispatched to make peace with General Tan Youhu in the direction of Xuzhou, pursue and retreat the enemy army, and annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

"Yes—" The soldier said excitedly when he saw the turning point coming.

Yan Jitai also completely forgot about the frightening episode just now. Regrouped and ready to go, this time he wanted to catch Tang Zhan and Lu Jing in person, and he couldn't let the two escape alive at Qiling Pass like he did last time......

"Quick, the main force of the enemy army is coming. Retreat to Yuanguan - "Lu Jing and Tang Zhan were still organizing the transfer and retreat of the troops, and after bypassing a bend in the mountain road, they disappeared and blinded the vision in the direction of Yanji Taizhen County.

And Yan Jitai's troops only went out of the mountain at this time, and after the troops were formed, it seemed that the time was calculated, and the rear troops happened to meet with the troops who came from the direction of Xuzhou. Yan Jitai couldn't wait any longer, and lost his vision of the vanguard army at the corner in front of the mountain, Yan Jitai immediately ordered: "The whole army is there, and the Wolf Ziguan North Road pursues the enemy army, and it will be annihilated in one fell swoop!"

"Yo-" Meng Yuan's army shouted in unison, this time Yan Jitai was the first to bear the burden, at the forefront of the army, and he didn't even greet the reinforcements in the rear, and took the lead in pursuing in the direction of the retreat of the vanguard army-Wolf Ziguan North Road......

Tang Zhan's army disappeared from view at the corner in front, and Yan Jitai hurried in on horseback, leading the leading troops around the corner of the mountain road, and finally found the traces of the vanguard army again...... However, the moment he turned the corner, Yan Jitai was startled......

Tang Zhan's army was here, but it did not flee. The army was lined up neatly, and when Yan Jitai arrived, it was already the vanguard facing each other. Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, Zhao Zichuan and others all rode in front of the army, and the soldiers behind them were facing each other, as if they were waiting here early in the morning, waiting for their arrival.

Yan Jitai seemed to have a bad premonition, but he thought that the Xuzhou reinforcements felt that no matter how capable Tang Zhan Lu Jing was, he would not be able to compete head-on, so he simply mustered up his courage......

Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and the others looked at Yan Jitai with a smile, especially Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, who had a head-to-head confrontation when they "fled" at Qiling Pass last time, and this time it seemed that they were going to finish the unfinished "words" of the last regret, or even make a break......

Yan Jitai strengthened his courage and asked, "What do you mean? Just now, I knew that the reinforcements of our army in the direction of Xuzhou arrived, led the army to retreat, and now I am waiting for this general here, as if I deliberately retreated to lead me out......

"It's to lure you out, you're very smart-" Lu Jing showed a confident look, and said quirkily, with a slightly playful tone, implying a kind of ridicule.

"Lead me out? Are your brains burned, reinforcements from Xuzhou are coming, and you soldiers and horses have no ability to confront them head-on...... Huh?" Yan Jitai continued to retort, and the more he spoke, the more Yan Jitai felt the situation of the troops, and his tone was not as calm as just now.

Lu Jing smiled slightly and continued: "The premise is that it is really a reinforcement from Xuzhou, and your subordinates ......"

"What did you say?" these words were like a sting in his heart, and Yan Jitai seemed to realize something...... Suddenly, the rear pass of Jinjun was on fire, and the soldiers were screaming incessantly-it was their own troops, which had been attacked by the enemy, and the rear formation was already in great confusion, and soon the enemy troops arrived, and they would burn themselves. Only then did Yan Jitai understand that he had fallen into the trap of Lu Jing or others.

"I'm sorry, it's General Chang Yuchun's troops, it's our reinforcements......" Lu Jing's expression changed slightly, and he continued to rush to Yan Jitai and said, "Don't you know? Xuzhou has fallen, and your subordinates Li Chengsheng, Tan Youhu and others have long since become dead souls, and tens of thousands of troops were also killed in the fire last night......

"This, this can't be, this can't be-" Lu Jing's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Yan Jitai's whole person fell from heaven to hell at once, desperate to the extreme. He never expected that he, who had used countless tricks and clever layouts, would eventually fall into the hands of Lu Jing.

"So in this game of chess, you have been general-" Lu Jing continued, "Give up, the remnants you are leading now are your last living force, and you can see at a glance the success or defeat of victory, you have already lost!"

Yan Jitai hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, he looked back at the faces of Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others, the dignified Mengyuan famous general, would be planted in the hands of these hairy boys and yellow-haired girls, no matter what, he would not be blind......

"Protect the retreat of the adults-" However, the soldiers around Yan Ji Ji Tai seemed to want to die of loyalty, and they did not hesitate to cover Yan Ji Tai's breakthrough.

Of course, it is impossible to break through the encirclement, there is a vanguard army in front to intercept, and there is a pursuit of Chang Yuchun's army in the rear, and the left and right are full of steep mountains, and there is no chance of winning out of the encirclement...... The only one who was embarrassed was Yan Jitai who escaped alone and fled into the mountains, and if he was lucky, he might be able to escape the pursuit of Tang Zhan and others......

"Retreat to the mountains, my lord—" The guards were still covering the evacuation of Tsubame Yoshidai, and suggested that Tsubame Yoshidai hide in the mountains and forests on both sides.

Yan Jitai did not hesitate any longer, now that he has become the king and defeated the king, he will definitely lose, and he can only leave the last main force and flee to the mountains and forests alone. I saw that Yan didn't ride a Jitai horse, and after getting off the horse, under the cover of the crowd, he fled to the mountains and forests on the left side......

"Kill-" And in front of the army, Tang Zhan and the others naturally couldn't let Yan Jitai escape, Tang Zhan's military order shouted, and the vanguard troops marched together, raising their guns and heading towards the last remnants of Meng Yuan.

The Mengyuan troops also had no way to retreat, the main general Yan Jitai fled, no one commanded the breakthrough, and they could only fend for themselves in the chaotic battle......

"Yan Jitai fled to the mountains...... Zhao Zichuan vaguely saw the direction of Yan Jitai's escape, looked at the mountains and forests on the side, and then said, "If Yan Jitai takes advantage of the chaos to escape and flees to the direction of Huaibei, we will never be able to catch him again...... However, this mountain forest is so big, and now that the battle here is not over, there is no way to search the mountain with manpower, and Yan Jitai is likely to take advantage of this time to escape from the encirclement of the mountain forest. You know, this wolf is in the mountains, and he knows much more than us. ”

However, Lu Jing smiled slightly, with a confident look, as if she had already had a way to deal with it, and said in no hurry: "Don't worry, he can't escape, the last move of this game of chess, I will eat him, he can't win......"

"What should I do?" Zhao Zichuan hurriedly asked, he seemed to be more anxious than others to catch Yan Jitai with his own hands, he missed the opportunity in the battle of Jinjun Guandao just now, this time Zhao Zichuan would not want to let Yan Jitai escape again.

"Yes, since you want to go so much, then leave it to Brother Zichuan - you ...... like this" Lu Jing said, leaning over to Zhao Zichuan's side, and quietly recounted the strategy of capturing Yan Jitai Bazado......

On the frontal battlefield, the Mengyuan army had been defeated, and so far in the first battle, Xuzhou was completely declared...... (To be continued.) )
