On the battlefield, the cry of killing resounded all around.
Captain Xia pointed his sword at an angle and roared:
"shoot!"
There was a muffled sound of "咻", and thousands of morning feather arrows were shot out, covering the sky like raindrops, shooting towards the direction of the Yun Kingdom army.
Looking at Yun Jun's side, he was already prepared.
Countless iron shields were raised, covering the army formation.
Only the sound of "dang, dang, dang, dang" could be heard. Xia Jun's burst of shooting, except for a few unlucky ones, there were few casualties.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, hundreds of heavy armored cavalry from the Xia Kingdom formed an arrow formation. They picked up their horse speed and charged towards the Yun Kingdom's military formation. Behind the heavy armored cavalry were countless elite soldiers from the Xia Kingdom.
.
This is to take advantage of the cavalry's power to charge in one fell swoop and break through the military formation.
But before they could get close to the Yun Kingdom's military formation, the Yun Kingdom's shield-bearing soldiers withdrew one after another, revealing a long ravine behind them.
The heavily armored cavalry who came with an unparalleled charge were frightened when they saw the ravine that had been dug out in front of them, and they quickly reined in their horses.
But the collision of the heavy armored cavalry was so easy to control.
One cavalryman couldn't stop his horse and rushed into the ravine. He and his horse fell and broke all their bones. Some cavalryman finally stopped, but was unlucky enough to be knocked into the ravine by his colleagues behind him, and suffered the same fate.
He was beaten to death and crippled.
The heavy armored cavalry, which used to break through the enemy's formations and go against all odds, lost nearly half of them just before the small ravine in Yun State.
Seeing the Yun army re-arranged their military formation behind the ravine, with long spears standing out like a hedgehog, it was hard for people to take action. The general of Xia State was anxious and angry, but he had no idea at all, so he had to give the order quickly and let his soldiers general
Stop attacking.
"I have never fought such a frustrating battle!" General Xia Guo was so angry that he took off his helmet and threw it to the ground, feeling extremely frustrated.
At this moment, King Qi came to the Xia general in person, holding his sword in his hand and being guarded by a group of soldiers.
When the general of Xia State saw the figure of King Qi, he was frightened and quickly raised his hands and defended himself:
"Commander, the army of the Yun Kingdom relies on this camp and refuses to fight! General, general, you have tried your best!"
Unexpectedly, King Qi didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on the place where Yun Guo's tent was located in front of him.
The place where the Yun Kingdom's army was stationed was located right in the middle of Santai and Mou'an counties. It was backed by mountains and water, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Later, it was an official road that could transport grain and grass supplies.
In front of the camp, there was a long and narrow ravine. On both sides of the camp, there were many layers of deer and flower hedges. This caused the Xia army's invincible heavy armored cavalry to suffer countless losses.
The entire Yunguo tent is like a big turtle shell, which cannot be broken at all.
But if he left it alone, it would be the same as before. When the Xia army was attacking the two counties, they would suddenly attack and attack from behind, causing the Xia army to suffer heavy losses.
King Qi stared at the tent in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and veins appeared in the hand holding the sword hilt tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"How can there be such a warrior? He has 60,000 fighting soldiers in his hands. When he arrived at Moutong Mansion, he had no intention of fighting with our army. He ignored the fall of the counties and just stayed here. He built the camp to look like a tortoise shell.
Virtue. If I were the emperor of Yun Kingdom, I would have to kill this man!"
From the previous battles, King Qi already knew that the new commander-in-chief of the Yun Kingdom was cautious. This was the first time he had seen someone who could be so cautious in military warfare after more than ten years of leading the army.
Of course, those words just now were just words of anger. If King Qi faced such a situation, he would probably make the same choice.
When reinforcements from the Yun Kingdom arrived, the fall of most of the Moutong Mansion was an irreversible situation.
During the battle at that time, the Yun State army trudged in. Although it was not exhausted, it was still at a huge disadvantage compared to the Xia army, which had high morale.
Cheng Bushi marched cautiously and did not fight with the Xia army in an attempt to conquer the counties. Instead, he chose to set up camp here and continuously strengthened the camp. In addition, he also sent his soldiers to disperse the two counties to strengthen defense.
Such a move can be described as a wonderful move, which greatly restrained the Xia Kingdom's army. Even now, the Xia Kingdom has not been able to completely capture the Moutong Mansion and cut off the connection between the three counties of the North and the Yun Kingdom.
"Fight! No matter the cost, we must win this place!" King Qi gritted his teeth.
When the general who was originally responsible for attacking the Yun Kingdom's army camp heard this, his face turned pale and he said sadly:
"Commander, we can't fight anymore! Half of the general's soldiers have been lost here!"
King Qi turned to look at the general who was speaking, and said coldly:
"Don't worry, General Zhenyi was seriously injured in the previous battle and is unable to continue. Just in time, all his troops and horses have been replenished under your account..."
When the general heard that there were more troops and horses in hand, not only was he not happy, but his face became even more ugly. He couldn't help but interrupt:
"Aren't you afraid that General Zhenyi will be dissatisfied if you are like this, Commander? Moreover, Commander, the last general really can't fight anymore!"
King Qi paused for a moment, then turned to look at the dissatisfied general, sneered and said:
"You don't respect my command?"
When the general who spoke saw the cold look on King Qi's face, he simply felt relieved and said with his head held high:
"As a prince, the commander has a distinguished status, and he has been honed in the northern border army for a long time. But the southwest frontier army is different after all. I hope the commander will listen to the advice of me and other southwest generals!"
King Qi looked at him, then suddenly sneered, shook his head and left.
"Commander, I still have something to say..."
When the general saw that King Qi was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
But before he could finish his words, one of King Qi's soldiers suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist.
The sword flashed and there was a "Pfft" sound, and the general felt a pain in his back. He looked down tremblingly and saw a sharp blade piercing his chest. Bright red blood was dripping down the long knife.
On the ground.
The general at the top had already forgotten that King Qi had already taken action once during the expedition. Obviously, King Qi would not mind killing another person.
"You retreated from the battle and contradicted the commander. According to military law, you should be beheaded! Does anyone have any objections?" Prince Qi's soldiers retracted their swords, glanced at the trembling generals around them, and said with murderous intent.
When all the soldiers saw that their generals were dead, how could they dare to speak? They all lowered their heads and trembled, not daring to reply.
The soldier snorted coldly and left quickly, following King Qi's footsteps.
"How many people in the Southwest Army are there who don't know whether to live or die?" King Qi asked casually.
The soldier on the side immediately replied:
"Commander, they are all gone!"
King Qi curled his lips and nodded:
"Okay, very good!"
-----------------------
Yongzhou, in the frontier army camp.
"General Zhendong, you are so anxious to summon the brothers, why did the court agree so quickly?" Tong Tianhua stood in the handsome tent, facing the proud smile, and asked the superior Shi An.
Shi An did not reply immediately, but instead glanced at the generals in the tent.
I saw that most of the generals looked at Shi An with burning eyes and expectant looks.
Shi An calmly said:
"The imperial court has replied! Your Majesty will come with the Grand Master tomorrow to inspect the military affairs. You all must welcome the Holy Emperor with me early tomorrow morning!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the handsome tent.
