Chapter 551 549 [Ande warriors guard the four sides] ()
Of course, the movements of the Hsiaojie Army could not deceive the general of the Qi Army. In fact, Sahelie had never thought about deceiving with false moves. He did not want to miss this opportunity to kill or capture the enemy commander alive, so the movements of the Hsiaojie Army highlighted the word "quick".

Kang Yanxiao, the commander of the Taixing Army, changed his expression drastically and immediately led his soldiers to move north, trying to block the enemy who wanted to break into the Chinese army.

Sahelie had a clear view of Kang Yanxiao's reaction, and immediately felt confident, and calmly commanded the remaining half of the troops to entangle the Taixing army.

The positions of both sides suddenly reversed. Previously, it was the Taixing Army that tightly entangled the Hsiaojie Army to prevent the other party from joining the city defense army in the south. Now it was the Hsiaojie Army that entangled the Taixing Army to prevent the other party from protecting the Chinese Army's commander's flag.

In the process of this rapid transformation, the formations on both sides have been completely scattered and no longer as neat and stable as before.

Two Jingjun tiger generals led 8,000 men directly towards the flag of Qi Jun commander, with a momentum as fierce as a stormy sea.

Under the handsome flag, Xiao Wangzhi looked calm.

After the strongest guard battalion was sent out, there were only more than 3,000 ordinary soldiers left around him. With this small force, it seemed like an impossible task to stop the desperate Jingjun soldiers.

The same is true. Faced with the fierce attack of Jingjun's sharp soldiers, these three thousand people struggled to resist, but no one chose to be a deserter, because right behind them, the handsome flag of the Huaizhou Army still stood. The tall and burly figure still stood solemnly.

This is where the soul of the military lies.

The fighting on the battlefield was extremely fierce. Faced with Jing Jun's crazy attack, more than 3,000 Qi troops continued to fall, but they still stood tenaciously on the position.

Xiao Wangzhi took a breath and turned to look south.

Thunder is rolling and coming!

When Sahelie, who was full of expectation, heard the thunder, he turned his head to see clearly the scene in the southeast, and the excitement on his face instantly solidified.

Southern Qi Cavalry!

At first, he didn't panic too much. As an experienced infantry general, he knew how to deal with cavalry. After all, Dajing had many elite cavalry who could cooperate with the infantry in offensive and defensive drills. The soldiers under his command were also familiar with this. A method of warfare.

As long as they stand firm and have spears like a forest, no matter how elite the cavalry is, they have to think carefully about it. It is not worth the gain to directly charge into the formation.

Unless it is the kind of heavy cavalry equipped with human and horse equipment, it is indeed possible to overwhelm large infantry formations on the plains, but the Southern Qi cavalry that appeared in sight were obviously only light cavalry.

The next moment, Sahelie's color suddenly changed.

After he divided his troops, half of the remaining troops were in a completely disorganized formation in order to block the enemy from rescuing the Chinese army.

"Collect your formation!"

Sahelie roared out four words in a stern voice, and the herald quickly issued an order.

But it's too late.

In the hunting wind, the Daqi cavalry arrived!
Lu Chen, Li Bingxue, Li Chengen and Ye Jitang each led more than 2,000 cavalry and went straight into the rear formation of the Xiaojie Army!

Like boiling soup breaking through snow, like a sharp knife cutting one's throat!
Lu Chen's long sword, Li Bingxue's horse spear, Li Cheng'en and Ye Jitang's long spear were as invincible as sharp knives. They led their respective subordinates to rush forward, instantly disrupting the ranks of the army, and then launched ruthless and crazy killings.

Sahelie's eyes were blazing but there was nothing he could do. At this time, he didn't care to scold Pu Cha for why he didn't stop the enemy cavalry. While forcing his soldiers to persist, he quickly asked the eight thousand people to retreat.

This is the most helpless and necessary decision.

The troops around Xiao Wangzhi are indeed very weak, but no matter how weak they are, there are still more than 3,000 people, and they can resist for a period of time. This period of time is enough for the Qi Army cavalry and the Taixing Army to work together to completely separate and surround Sahelie's men.

On the noisy battlefield, Xiao Wangzhi looked forward and finally saw the young figure.

As if feeling something in his heart, Lu Chen looked up at Shuai Qi in the distance. He couldn't see Xiao Wangzhi's face, but he could see the solemn figure.

They hadn't seen each other for years and couldn't say hello at the moment. However, they relied on their tacit understanding and advance planning to complete a wonderful cooperation on the battlefield.

Just once is enough to secure victory.

The horns of the Qi army resounded across the sky and the earth. The infantry led by Xu Gui and He Gui quickly arrived at the battlefield after the Jing army's cavalry retreated. Their entry angle was in the middle of the battlefield, and the Jing army's troops and the Jing army's troops were attacked. The other two infantry armies were completely separated.

At the same time, Xiao Wangzhi's personal guard battalion and the 6,000 sharp soldiers led by Kong Hao and Zhang Gu suddenly turned around, allowing the Zhenbei Army to continue to pester the Jing Army's city defense army, while they blocked the path forward of the Xiujie Army.

At this point, Xiao Wangzhi's strategic intention truly emerged.

From the beginning, his target was not the city defense army led by Shu Bulie and Tuoman Wulu, but the 20,000-strong efficiency army among the three Jingjun infantry. However, he hid his intention very well. Very good, by besieging the city defense army to disperse the strength of the Houtiao Army, and also proactively dispatched the Guards Battalion to create a void in the heart of the Chinese army, so that the Houtiao Army could take the bait and divide its forces for a surprise attack.

When the cavalry led by Lu Chen got rid of the Jingjun cavalry and entered the battlefield, a charge completely disrupted the formation of the Xiujie Army. At this time, Xiao Wangzhi transferred the guard battalion and 6,000 sharp soldiers over, leaving the Xiujie Army in a dead end!

"Withdraw troops!"

Pu Cha, who rushed back to the main battlefield, had eyes wide open. Of course he didn't want to give up the army at this time. However, the layout of the Qi army was extremely stable and gave him no chance to attack. In addition, the city defense army was besieged for a long time, which reduced its morale. It is very depressed. If you want to rely only on the infantry of the prison army to rescue the efficiency army, the final result will most likely be that the entire army will be dragged into the quagmire.

During the melee, the city defense army, led by Shu Bulie and Tuoman Wulu, finally got rid of the Zhenbei Army. The latter did not continue the pursuit. Under the command of Xiao Wangzhi, it turned around and rushed towards the heavily surrounded Xiaojie Army.

In the middle of the battlefield, the reinforcement infantry led by Xu Gui and He Gui were waiting leisurely, as if expecting the Jing army from the west to rush forward.

They were like a solid city wall lying in front of the Jingchao prison army and the city defense army. Behind them, the rest of the Qi army, including the cavalry, kept beating the Jiefeng army. "withdraw!"

Pu Cha roared with red eyes, no longer looking to the east, shouting this word with great shame.

Jing's army, with only over 30,000 men, began to evacuate to the west. Xu Gui and He Gui followed Lu Chen's instructions and gave chase symbolically, without straying too far away from the main battlefield.

There is no doubt that all the plans Xiao Wangzhi and Lu Chen made today were just to kill the 20,000 Xiujie Army.

As the sun set, the war gradually came to an end.

The Houtiao Army's final counterattack was very fierce and caused a lot of damage to the Qi Army, but this could not change the final outcome.

In today's battle, the Qi army completely annihilated Jing Chao's 20,000 soldiers!

The vast battlefield was filled with the pungent smell of blood, as well as the cheers of the Qi army's soldiers.

"Uncle Xiao!"

Lu Chen, covered in blood, rode his horse to the commander's flag and saluted the middle-aged man.

"I've met Governor Xiao!"

Li Bingxue beside him was not much better, both men and horses were covered in blood.

"No need to be polite."

Xiao Wangzhi looked at the young couple with a gentle expression, his eyes filled with relief.

His eyes stayed on Lu Chen's face and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Lu Chen turned to look to the west and said firmly: "The enemy army can only retreat towards Bai County now. Our army cannot allow them to retreat calmly. We must pursue them all the way, weaken their troops as much as possible, and then intercept Qing Qing." Yu Gong’s way out!”

"it is good."

Xiao Wangzhi raised his tone slightly, followed his gaze, and said word by word: "It's time to meet Marshal Jingjun."

……

Outside Yongqiu City, fighting broke out again.

Just as Qing Yugong expected, the Qi Army's eastern reinforcements still stayed in the Xichuan area. Facing the five thousand Jing Army cavalry that appeared near Yujia Town, they seemed to dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Lu Chen did not spare all the reinforcements on the eastern front, but he did take away most of the main elites. There was no problem in using the remaining troops for defense, but it was difficult to take the initiative to attack. After all, they were facing Qingyu. The main force under Gong's command.

Under normal circumstances, even if it was just to guard against the two Qi army reinforcements on the periphery, Qing Yugong could only take a safe approach. This was what Lu Chen wanted to achieve.

As long as Qing Yugong hesitates for a moment and waits until the winner is decided at the foot of Luwu Mountain, he and Xiao Wangzhi can lead the troops all the way to the northeast of Yongqiu, thereby turning the illusion into reality and completely crushing Qing Yugong's plan to counterattack Yongqiu.

However, Qing Yugong saw through his plan and frightened the Qi army's eastern reinforcements with only 5,000 cavalry, and then attacked Yongqiu without hesitation.

In just two days, the walls of Yongqiu City were full of dangers.

This time Jing Jun didn't hold back at all. Qing Yugong personally supervised the battle, obviously not worried about the defenders having that inexhaustible magical fire.

There was no movement from reinforcements on the eastern front, and all the pressure fell on Liu Shouguang.

The Minister of Military Affairs of the Qi Dynasty knew the situation on the battlefield very well, and he also cooperated very well with the plans of Li Tianrun, Xiao Wangzhi and Lu Chen. From the slow march at the beginning, to now sticking to the Baima Pass south of Yongqiu, and He never deliberately thought about being in the limelight, he knew not to disrupt his own strategic layout.

But at this moment——

"Master Marquis, there is an emergency in Yongqiu. If our army stands idly by, I am afraid that Governor Li will be killed!"

Yuan Xingqin, the commander of the Huwei Army, looked anxious.

Liu Shouguang was silent.

According to Lu Chen's previous arrangement, it is best for the two reinforcements outside Yongqiu not to reveal their true strength. They should wait until he and Xiao Wangzhi deal with the Jing army in Luwu Mountain and rush to Yongqiu before taking action together.

The problem is that if the 30,000 Beijing troops under his command do not take action, Yongqiu will most likely not be able to hold it.

All the generals in the hall agreed with Yuan Xingqin's opinion. They had been holding it in for too long in Baima Pass. They did not dare to express their feelings before. Now if they watch Jingjun attack Yongqiu and watch Li Tianrun die in the hands of the enemy, then What will happen to these people?
In the long silence, Liu Shouguang let out a long breath, and then his eyes became determined. He looked around the crowd and said, "Each department has ordered its troops and horses. Tomorrow morning, we will follow our general to leave Baima Pass north to rescue Yongqiu from danger!"

"The general will obey the order!"

The generals stood up to take orders, full of murderous intent.
