On the side, Fan Ruwei and Liu Heng were also fighting together.

Until this moment, Bai Qi's elite troops had not yet entered the battle.

Among them, three thousand elites were in Bai Qi's central army formation. The other three thousand elites were led by Lin Chong in a large-scale outflanking.

A few nights ago, Lin Chong left with his troops and took small boats in batches along the Yuan River into Dongting Lake. He then took a naval warship to thirty miles east of Chenyang and camped on the shore of Dongting Lake to recharge his batteries.

Sharp three days.

Last night, we took a small boat from Dongting Lake to the west, then abandoned the boat and traveled at night, reaching six miles south of the battlefield and lurking in the woods beside the Cangshui River (Cangshui and Langshui merged to form the Canglang River).

He was so cautious because he was afraid that he would be discovered by the people and the local farmers would report the news to the Chu army.

"Woooooo~~~"

The horn sounded a warning from the top of Chenyang City, and the Chu army finally discovered that a large number of enemies were coming from the southwest.

The battlefield is surrounded by rice fields, but the water has dried up and there are even small cracks. Without irrigation, the harvest is likely to fail.

Lin Chong led three thousand elite troops, first trotting along the field ridge.

Each of them wore thirty kilograms of armor, and they were almost fainting from the heat under the scorching sun.

When they were two miles away from the battlefield, they jumped into the rice field and formed an array, wading knee-deep in straw and advancing slowly.

The location where Lin Chong appeared was at the side and rear of the Chu army's formation.

At this time, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the Chu army had already fallen into a disadvantage. Mainly due to lack of food and physical strength, they suffered two rounds of shelling. The severely damaged left and right armies had withdrawn three units.

The morale of the Chu army had plummeted.

Lin Chong entered the battlefield from the side and rear, immediately causing chaos in the enemy's army.

Zhong Quan urgently mobilized his reserves and civilians to try to stop Lin Chong from charging towards the Chinese army's formation.

Bai Qi also sent the elite around him to the battlefield, but he went to cooperate with the Fujian monk soldiers, intending to first deal with the Chenyang defenders on the side.

Liu Heng's Chenyang garrison was short of food, and the people outside the city fled into the city. The people inside and outside the city had to eat every day, and they couldn't live in vain, so they simply recruited a large number of young men to defend the city, and the rations were reduced to two rations a day. Suddenly.

Due to lack of physical strength, he was already being beaten by the monk soldiers, but the elite soldiers from Shu suddenly came out, and Liu Heng could only lead his own soldiers to resist.

The two sides had just engaged in battle, and a group of Chenyang Chu troops recruited temporarily began to flee without any warning. Not only were they tired and hungry, they could not last long, and they could not withstand the pressure of the battlefield, so they fled towards the county seat.

At this moment, the main right army of the Chu army also collapsed.

Those were the civilian men who had just been replaced. Their morale was already low, and they discovered that the main force was fighting from behind. These civilian men did not know what was going on, they only knew that the main force had been outflanked, and they were so panicked that they just wanted to escape back to their hometown.

Gaps appeared almost simultaneously on the Chu army's front and side battlefields.

"Issuing the order, let Gong Yi lead the troops to tear apart the enemy's formation!" Bai Qi finally seized the opportunity.

Gong Yi is the second son of Gong Xiu. He was transferred to Chengdu last year as a cavalry officer and trained 600 cavalrymen with the help of southwest war horses. This year he was transferred temporarily and only arrived at Dongting Lake last month. Due to the unsuitable climate and climate, he only had 530 cavalrymen. More than ten cavalrymen have recovered, but there are still many sick people lying in the military camp.

These hundreds of cavalry seized the opportunity and rushed through the gap, charging wildly through the dry rice fields, chasing the fleeing enemy army away.

After chasing for a while, they turned back to attack and shoot arrows, and cooperated with the infantry to cause chaos in the Chu army's right army.

The Chu army did not have large-scale cavalry, only some sporadic sentry cavalry. When the formation was intact, they were not afraid of the cavalry, but now it was difficult to resist them.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the units of the Chu army's right army collapsed one after another.

The morale of the Chenyang Chu army close to the right army was also affected, and a second and third army broke up.

"Dong dong dong dong dong!"

Bai Qi personally beat the drum and ordered the entire army to attack.

Amidst the shouts of killing that shook the sky, the rural soldiers and civilians recruited by the Chu army scrambled to escape, and tens of thousands of defeated troops flew towards the Canglang River.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly!"

The soldiers dragged Zhong Quan away, and if he didn't leave, they would not be able to escape, because Zhong Quan's Chinese army had been broken through by Lin Chong.
