Chapter 52: A Defeat
Bounded by the trench two hundred steps in front of the southern battalion, the battle in the north was in full swing, and Zhao Qi almost pressed his own personal guards, but he still couldn't resist the enemy's tidal attack, while the south was relatively quiet, and it was almost not even a wave on the noisy battlefield, it seemed that Yang Lian was completely in control of the situation.

Just as Ji Wushuang was marching forward, thinking that victory was in sight, dust and smoke suddenly billowed from both sides of the rear, and it seemed that two armies were coming together. This made Ji Wushuang quite puzzled, could it be that the enemy of the east and west battalions was outflanked?
At this point, Ji Wushuang was not sloppy before the war, the scouts were distributed throughout the battlefield, if there was a slight change in the east and west battalions, then the news would be conveyed immediately, and now the enemy army suddenly hit the soft underbelly of the Crystal Palace.
Without waiting for Ji Wushuang to come up with a countermeasure, the left and right sides of the 10,000-strong army only rushed to the rear army, although they were all infantry, but the speed of everyone's running was not slow, and the distance of two or three miles was in a blink of an eye, instantly cutting off the retreat of everyone in the Crystal Palace.
An army of nearly 30,000 or 40,000 smashed together in an instant, and the battlefield saw blood with swords and fists, and the two sides fought desperately, and there was no mercy to talk about at all.
At this time, Zhao Qi had been injured in many places, but he was a man in the army, he was not afraid at all, he threw a spear and fought hard, and there were dozens of dead souls who died in the dead that he snatched, but after fighting for half an hour in person, his physical strength was inevitably overdrawn, and after picking off the two thieves in front of him, he was about to dodge the oncoming trident sideways, but unexpectedly, his body suddenly lost his balance.
Seeing that the trident was about to stab Zhao Qi through the heart, suddenly a giant sword arrived in time, this sword was even killed, and the mermaid warrior in front of him was cut in half in a moment, and at the same time, Zhao Qi's shoulders were hot, and his body was already straightened, and Yang Lian's voice came into his ears and said: "General Zhao Qi has worked hard, you have made great contributions in this battle, now lead your brothers back to the camp to rest, and wait for the celebration banquet to ask for merit!"
Zhao Qi thought he was going to die, but now with tears in his eyes, he quickly wiped his sweat and tears, and said with a military salute: "Yes, general, this is what the last general should do, and he finally didn't embarrass the general!"
"Hmm!"
Yang Lian nodded, then turned over and shouted, "Brothers, kill me!"
"Kill ......!"
The sound of all the soldiers shouting in unison resounded in the sky, Zhao Qi reacted at this time, at this time the general launched the horn of the general attack, looking at the formation in front of him, he was happy in his heart, and secretly said: "This is the victory!"
For Ji Wushuang, this battle outside Luojing City is really a shame in his life, the crystal palace nearly 20,000 troops were surrounded by people on the plain, and when Yang Lian's figure appeared in the trench in front, she knew that Ji Hanyu was finished, and now there were chasing soldiers in front of him and then intercepting him, and he knew that he was going to lose this battle without fighting, and the key was how to get out.
Although the enemy army has not yet dispatched cavalry, Ji Wushuang knows very well that once his side breaks through, then the enemy's cavalry will catch up like a shadow, how can two legs run over four legs, for the sake of today, he can only fight and retreat to Luojing City, how much can he run.
Under the continuous urging of Ji Wushuang and the elders' water system spells, a gap was finally broken in the north of the encirclement, and at this time, Ji Wushuang could no longer care about the recruited miscellaneous army except for the descendants of the Crystal Palace, and there was only one word in everyone's hearts: "Run!" As long as you run into the city, you can live.
Sure enough, as Ji Wushuang expected, when the tens of thousands of troops in the Crystal Palace broke through, the five thousand cavalry under Yang Lian were ready to go, and now they followed up like hungry wolves, and from time to time they would release arrows to attack, or throw javelins, as if tearing off the flesh and blood of the Crystal Palace, and now there are still five hundred steps away from the city gate, these cavalry are afraid of the artillery and arrows at the head of the city, but they are not blocked in front, but if they continue to chase like this, even if they return to the city, there is not much left to live.
There were countless people left behind, and when the army of the Crystal Palace entered the defense range of Luojing City, there were less than 3,000 people left around Ji Wushuang, and she was finally relieved to see those ghostly cavalry stop outside the range of the giant crossbow.
Chen Shi went out of the city to meet the battle and now returned with a disgraced face, even the general Ji Hanyu in the battle was folded on the battlefield, Ji Wushuang's face was a little unbearable, so he instructed his elders to go and call the door, Chen Zhiyuan looked cold at the head of the city, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't see Elder Dongyu who stayed behind.
The crystal elder shouted under the city, but no one answered in the city, Ji Wushuang immediately felt that the situation was not good, she personally rode her horse to the city, raised her head and shouted: "Ji Dongyu, Chen Zhiyuan, don't you open the city gate quickly, could it be that you two want to rebel?"
Chen Zhiyuan saw that Ji Wushuang came to call the door in person, so he nodded to the subordinates beside him, and the man immediately put a cloth bag down the city with a rope after receiving the order, Ji Wushuang was inexplicable, so he motioned to the elder next to him to open the cloth bag.
Yang Lian at the far end was also observing the situation under Luojing City, the city gate was not opened for a long time, he was originally waiting for the moment when the enemy army entered the city in chaos, so relying on the speed of the cavalry, he might be able to kill into the city, and Luojing City could easily change hands. Now the people of this city are quite cautious, and it seems that they are several times stronger than the wine bags and rice bags of today's leaders.
Nowadays, the mermaid elder opened the cloth bag and saw that it was Ji Dongyu, her old man was trapped like a zongzi, with a white cloth stuffed in her mouth, and her face was sad and angry, but there were no scars on her body, it seemed that Chen Zhiyuan's subordinates were merciful and did not embarrass her.
Seeing this, Ji Wushuang didn't know Chen Zhiyuan's intentions, this white-eyed wolf actually took advantage of his unpreparedness and seized Luojing City, which was like sprinkling salt on her scars, almost making her bite a mouthful of silver teeth, and now Yang Lian's army was eyeing her outside, if it was seen by the truth, then the Crystal Palace would be destroyed here.
Thinking of this, Ji Wushuang raised his head and said fiercely: "Chen Zhiyuan, you are really good, the next time we meet, it will be your death!"
Chen Zhiyuan said calmly when he heard this: "I hope that the queen still has a time to come, please forgive Zhiyuan for not being far away!"
Now what is the effect of the benefit of the tongue, Ji Wushuang regretted not being at the beginning, and shouted with a clip of the horse's belly: "Withdraw!"
The whole army was ordered to retreat to the west with the queen, Yang Lian immediately reacted, it seems that there was an infighting in the Crystal Palace, and now Ji Wushuang can only retreat to the southwest, as long as her retreat is blocked, then there is still time to capture Luojing after cleaning up the main master.
It was this decision that pushed Ji Wushuang into the bottomless abyss, and at the same time gave Chen Zhiyuan a few days of preparation, there are at least 50,000 people in the city now, and there are enough food in stock, how can he rely on this strong city to defend it for a year and a half, and Yang Lian's military food is only enough for a month, and the first thing that can't be consumed is the border army.
This is not to mention for the time being, now Ji Wushuang is being chased by the heavens and the earth without a door, panicked like a lost dog, in addition to thousands of descendants, the rest of the army has already fallen behind in the process of escaping, either or becoming a prisoner of the Yanzhou border army, there are still more than 80 miles away from the nearest Lingling City, the Crystal Palace now has no horses, Ji Wushuang does not dare to rush on the official road, and everyone is not familiar with the terrain, almost lost in the jungle, but fortunately, after entering the forest, Yang Lian did not dare to rush deep, the two armies chased me and fled, and was touched by Ji Wushuang to the vicinity of Lingling Cityใ
Who knew that Ji Wushuang sent someone to the gate of the city to investigate, only to find that Lingling City had changed the Great King Banner, and the same was true for the other two cities. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Ji Wushuang was not discouraged, and immediately decided to return to Wushuang Harbor through the secret passage to repair, in order to prepare for another battle in the future! )
