Chapter 192: Never let Li Fengxian go
Li Fengxian's personal leadership of the army seemed unexpected but also reasonable.
After losing two battles in a row, even Li Fengxian would definitely not be able to sit still.
Even though his right arm was injured, his martial arts skills should not be underestimated.
Li Fengxian personally led 30,000 troops out of the city and stood in front of the Ming Dynasty's border army formation.
"Chen Wu, come out and die!" Li Fengxian held a halberd and his eyes widened in anger.
Behind him are hunting flags, guns and spears, and murderous intent.
The third prince was wearing silver armor. He had long wanted to meet Li Fengxian in person.
Especially Li Fengxian, who has lost two games in a row and is injured.
If he defeated Li Fengxian, or even killed Li Fengxian, his third prince would become the most brave general in the world.
Who dares to look down upon him then?
"Li Fengxian, you have lost two games in a row and you still dare to come out. I thought you were already hiding like a coward." The third prince laughed loudly.
"You man, you are uttering arrogant words and you have the guts to challenge me in a duel." Li Fengxian looked cold and stern as he cursed loudly.
Of course the third prince would not challenge Li Fengxian to a duel.
Wouldn't it be better to just go up there and die?
Who would be so stupid?
"Li Fengxian, is the battlefield a place where you fight alone?"
"To kill you, do you need me to kill you?" The third prince sneered, and Zhao Kuo drove his horse forward from behind.
"Li Fengxian, I told you that day at Zhao Jiapo that if we meet again, we will be enemies, and I will not hold hands on you. If you are wise and dismount immediately and surrender, I can spare your life."
"Otherwise, if war breaks out, you won't have a chance to beg for mercy." Zhao Kuo looked proud and his eyes were cold.
If it wasn't for the purpose of getting the third prince of the Ming Dynasty to take the bait, Li Fengxian almost laughed.
Is Zhao Kuo worthy of sparing his own life?
"Stop talking nonsense and fight if you want." Li Fengxian's patience has been worn away.
If it weren't for today, he would have let the candidate lose two games in a row, giving Zhao Kuo and the third prince of the Ming Dynasty confidence. Do you really think he can't deal with him?
"Pass this divine general's order, kill!" Li Fengxian shouted loudly, and 30,000 troops moved together, rushing toward the Ming Dynasty's border troops like a tide.
The third prince's face darkened, and his eyes fell on Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo was unhurried and said: "The art of war has it that you should stay the same to cope with all changes. When they get close, we will fight again. This can save physical strength."
The third prince frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with this.
But thinking about Zhao Kuo's performance in winning two games in a row, he didn't say anything.
Soon, Chu's southern army rushed in front of them, and the soldiers of the Ming border army standing in the front row of defense had their hands sweating.
"Attack." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
The ordering soldier waved the order flag, but before the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty front row could even react, the two armies collided directly.
Weapons collided, weapons pierced the body, blood spattered, and the tragedy was visible to the naked eye everywhere.
Li Fengxian held a long halberd in his left hand and swept from left to right. No one within a radius of two feet could get close to him.
The injury on the third prince's arm was not completely healed, so he could only ride on horseback and kill the enemy with his left hand.
"Archers prepare..."
"Brother Zhao, what are you doing?" The third prince didn't even react.
At this moment, the soldiers of the two armies were mixed together. What did Zhao Kuo do with the archers?
"There is a saying in the art of war. If we should continue to break up, we will suffer chaos instead. Covering it with archers indiscriminately will definitely scare the enemy. As for our army, what is a small loss?"
"Your Highness, don't you want to capture Li Fengxian?" Zhao Kuo replied calmly, and even asked the third prince in return.
The third prince was stunned, of course he wanted to capture Li Fengxian.
However, if archers directly cover the battlefield, not only will the enemy suffer losses, but they themselves will also suffer heavy losses.
"Your Highness, the art of war has its own meaning, but the reality is false, and the false is true. We don't even care about our own people, so they still have the guts to challenge us?" Zhao Kuo said again.
The third prince frowned, even though he felt that this method was inappropriate.
But thinking that if Li Fengxian could be defeated or captured, it would not matter if some soldiers died.
The third prince said nothing, which seemed to be his acquiescence in Zhao Kuo's actions.
"Archers, fire volley." Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and gave the battle order.
The ordering soldiers were stunned, but they quickly conveyed the order.
For a moment, dense rain of arrows fell from the sky.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army who were still fighting were dumbfounded. They were still fighting the enemy bravely, but why were arrows raining from behind?
Before they could react, the arrows pierced their bodies.
I don't know how many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army died under their own arrow array with puzzlement and confusion.
Li Fengxian also looked confused.
How could he have imagined that the third prince of the Ming Dynasty would be so ruthless, shooting the fighting soldiers indiscriminately.
A rain of arrows flew in. Li Fengxian waved his halberd, and arrows fell all around. However, no matter how skilled Li Fengxian was, he could not stop the rain of arrows.
What's more, his right arm is injured.
An arrow pierced his right shoulder, and Li Fengxian's eyes widened in pain.
"Look, Your Highness, Li Fengxian was shot by a stray arrow." Zhao Kuo pointed in the direction of Li Fengxian and shouted to the third prince.
The third prince was overjoyed. As long as he could kill or capture Li Fengxian, the loss of some soldiers would be explained away.
"Everyone, follow me to attack Li Fengxian." The third prince shouted loudly.
He personally led the troops to kill Li Fengxian.
Zhao Kuo was not to be outdone. He held a weapon and went towards Li Fengxian to kill him.
Li Fengxian was still thinking about how he could seduce the third prince of the Ming Dynasty here since he was injured, but he did not expect that the third prince of the Ming Dynasty would directly lead his army towards him.
"Quickly retreat!" Li Fengxian shouted immediately.
The soldiers of Da Chu's Southern Army were like a tide, desperately withdrawing towards Yongding City.
"Don't let them escape, kill Li Fengxian, get a reward of ten thousand taels, and make ten thousand households a marquis."
"Whoever captures Li Fengxian alive will be made a general!" The third prince felt as if he had been given a shot of blood at this moment.
But Li Fengxian ran too fast. Seeing that Yongding City was about to lower the suspension bridge, the third prince was anxious to death.
Suddenly there was a loud noise and the suspension bridge fell directly onto the moat of Yongding City.
Break into several pieces.
"Fuck!" The third prince was stunned.
This is really God helping him.
The suspension bridge in Yongding City was gone, and it was impossible for Li Fengxian to enter the city.
"Soldiers, Li Fengxian has nowhere to escape. Catch him. You must catch him." The third prince's face almost twitched with laughter.
Even God is helping him. If Li Fengxian is not caught, the third prince will be sorry for God's help.
Zhao Kuo also looked ecstatic. If he captured Li Fengxian, Zhao Kuo would become famous in one battle.
Let's see who dares to question Zhao Kuo's ability then.
"Quickly retreat!" Li Fengxian saw the third prince of the Ming Dynasty leading his army to pursue him. He immediately turned his horse around and fled to the west side of Yongding City.
A large number of officers and soldiers of Chu's southern army abandoned their helmets and armor and fled with their lives after Li Fengxian.
On the tower of Yongding City, Xu Gongmao stood here, looking at the Ming Dynasty border troops who were pursuing Li Fengxian, with a sneer on his lips.
Once you leave, you won't be able to come back alive.
Li Feng fled in front, and the third prince chased from behind. They chased for who knows how long. By the time the third prince reacted, they had already entered a cave.
Only a little light can be seen in the cave.
There are still traces of the escape of Dachu's soldiers from the southern army ahead.
"Chase." The third prince ordered.
He thought that Li Fengxian wanted to die and fled into the cave. As long as he led troops to pursue him, Li Fengxian would definitely die.
"The Third Highness is wise, and the art of war is as follows. If you hit a snake, you will not die, but will be eaten by it. You must not let Li Fengxian go." Zhao Kuo also nodded.
The two men immediately led their troops and chased deep into the cave.
But after chasing for a long time, they found no trace of Li Fengxian and others.
When he looked back at the path he had taken, he realized that there were cave passages behind him, and he had no idea how he got in.
