Chapter 355


Chapter 355 The young man dressed as a common man was brought to Wu Guang by the sergeant of the plains, who looked him up and down, and said, "I am Wu Guang, what is your name?"

"General Hui, the subordinate is named Zhang Yi" Wu Guang didn't know this Tianyan secret agent, but he had heard Wu Guang's name, so he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said: "General, the enemy soldiers have all retreated to the palace now, and there are no enemy soldiers gathered in various parts of the city. ” "Oh" Wu Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Little brother, do you know where the palace is?"

"My subordinates know."

"Lead the way" "Yes" Wu Guang and Zhan Hu were led by the Tianyan spies and went straight to the palace.

When the army rushed to the palace, Wu Guang raised his eyes and looked, well, the people standing on the palace wall were all Peng soldiers and generals, not to mention thousands of people, and the palace wall was extremely high, compared with the city wall of Yancheng, it was not much worse.

The most important thing is that the soldiers on the palace are ready for defense, rolling logs and stones are piled up, a pot of boiling oil is placed on the palace wall, and the smoke is billowing into the sky.

Wu Guang looked at it, and frowned secretly, the palace wall is so high, and the city defense equipment is so sufficient, his side currently has no siege weapons, if it is attacked, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties.

Thinking about it, he took two steps forward and shouted loudly at the city: "Yancheng has been captured by our army, and you are already isolated, if you resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die, if you want to live, open the palace gate immediately, go out of the palace and surrender" After Wu Guang finished shouting, there was not even a person on the palace wall to talk to, and the Peng soldiers and generals had no intention of talking at this time, looking out, the streets outside the palace were all pressed by the Tianyuan army, and they couldn't count how many people there were, and the Peng army led by Ye Cheng grinned secretly, and their hearts were in their throats.

Seeing that no one answered, Wu Guang was depressed in his heart, it seemed that there was no other way to do it except to attack, he took a deep breath, slowly raised the spirit knife in his hand, paused in the air for a moment, and fell forward violently, and shouted at the same time: "Siege and kill" "Kill" Wu Guang's order sounded the horn of the attack of the soldiers of the Plains Army, and the soldiers below swarmed up, set up a ladder, and began to climb the palace wall with all their might.

It was very easy for the Plains Army to break through the defense line of Yancheng, mainly because they came too suddenly, the Peng Army was defenseless, the city defense weapons on the city head were in short supply, and the personnel were insufficient, plus the main general was not there, and no one commanded, so they were killed by the Plains Army, and now the remnants of thousands of Peng troops are huddled in the palace, there is no way out, they can only fight against the water, even Ye Cheng has no choice but to go into battle in person, and naturally use all his strength in the battle.

Wu Guanghe Zhanhu took the lead in attacking upward, but the rolling wood and stones on the city were like raindrops, and there was also fire oil pouring down from time to time, Wu Guanghe Zhanhu led the crowd to charge several times, but they all returned in vain, and the soldiers below were killed and wounded.

Seeing that this was not the way to go, Wu Guang issued an order to suspend the attack, and then he asked some of the trebuchets in Yancheng to be carried over, and the trebuchets of the Peng army were used to smash the defense line of the Peng army.

Soon, the soldiers of the Plains Army moved more than a dozen trebuchets and pulled a large number of boulders.

Now, as long as Wu Guang gives an order, more than a dozen trebuchets can launch boulders in unison, giving the Peng army on the palace wall a devastating blow.

However, at this time, Wu Guang hesitated, the destructive power of the trebuchet is too great and too strong, while killing and injuring the enemy, the buildings of the palace will inevitably be affected and destroyed, the palace is a symbol of the wind country, once it is damaged by its own side, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, and after the war, it has to be repaired by oneself, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The best way is to enter the palace without using large siege equipment, but it is better to use it Wu Guang was a little embarrassed, he did not order an attack, nor did he order the retreat, he led the soldiers of the Plains Army to stay in front of the palace and silently confronted the Peng army in the palace.

On the other side, Li Qi led a 50,000-strong Peng army to pursue and kill the Tianyuan army that retreated to Lehu County.

When Li Qi and the others caught up with the Tianyuan army, the Tianyuan army was resting, and they saw the dust in the rear from a distance, the flags were waving, and the soldiers were startled.

"It's the Peng army, it's the Peng army that is chasing and killing" I don't know who shouted first, like a fuse, and it didn't take long for the Tianyuan Army camp to start chaos.

Because Tang Yin is dead, the soldiers of the Tianyuan army have no intention of fighting, at this time, seeing a large number of Peng troops chasing and killing, they are panicked up and down, and they listen to the people in the camp shouting and neighing, the screams are continuous, the panicked soldiers are running in all directions, the tent is overturned, the pot is overturned, and its panicked and chaotic appearance is as if seeing a flood beast.

At this time, Qiu Zhen ignored the chaotic soldiers of the whole army, but took the lead in escaping, as soon as Qiu Zhen fled, the generals below naturally followed, and the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army who had no one to command were like flies that did not have them, instinctively chasing in the direction where Qiu Zhen and the others fled.

The Tianyuan Army fled in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to collect the camp tents in the garrison, and at the same time, they also left a large amount of grain, grass, and military equipment.

Soon, Li Qi and the others rushed into the Tianyuan Army garrison where people went to Loukong, and looked around, Li Qi, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals couldn't help laughing, the Tianyuan Army that lost Tang Yin was a scattered army without a leader, don't look at the hundreds of thousands of people, but it was not vulnerable at all.

As the Peng army poured into the Tianyuan Army's garrison in large numbers, and found countless grains, grasses, armor, weapons, military flags and other items, a corps commander rushed to Li Qi's approach, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said with a big grin: "General Li, we have captured countless grain and grass materials from the rebels."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qi's expression was blank, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass my general order, all the things of the Tianyuan Army will be left here, no one is allowed to move, and the whole army will continue to chase the enemy with me" Li Qi is a relatively good general, he knows very well the difference between the important and the heavy, the capture of materials is only a small achievement, killing and injuring the enemy is a great achievement, if you only covet this little profit in front of you, and miss the opportunity to chase and kill the enemy, it will be a pity.

Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and others standing next to him nodded again and again, and said in unison: "What General Li said is extremely true, the captured materials are small, and the pursuit and killing of enemy soldiers is big" Now, everyone can see that the legendary Tianyuan Army, the division of the tiger and wolf, is already a plate of scattered sand, whether it is the generals above or the soldiers below, they have no intention of fighting, at this time, as long as they can catch up with the Tianyuan Army, they will have to achieve a big victory without much effort.

Under Li Qi's order, the Peng army did not stay in the camp of the Tianyuan army and continued to pursue and kill north.

At this time, the generals led by Li Qi never thought about whether this would be a trick by the Tianyuan Army to lure the enemy.

First of all, in their opinion, Tang Yin must be dead, otherwise it would be impossible for the Tianyuan Army to hang filial piety to the whole army, as far as the customs of the time are concerned, it is very rare to cheat death, and it is taboo for the living to hang filial piety to the living, and no one has ever done such a thing; Secondly, the panic when the Tianyuan Army fled was not pretended, but the real performance of the soldiers, no one could see the flaws from it, and Li Qi and the others were of course no exception.

For these two reasons, the cautious Li Qi believed that the Tianyuan Army was a real defeat rather than a fraudulent defeat.

The chaotic Tianyuan Army retreated, how could there be a morale-winning Peng army with fast speed, and it didn't take long for the Peng army to catch up with the rear army of the Tianyuan Army.

This time, the Peng soldiers came to the spirit, thinking that they had seized the opportunity to beat the water dogs with the stick, and rushed forward frantically, slashing and stabbing at those backward Tianyuan soldiers, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground, and the Peng soldiers who were surrounded by the blades were dismembered.

Xu Hui laughed when he saw this, turned his head to Li Qi and said: "General Li, judging from the current situation, our army will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Tianyuan Army, not only to welcome the king back to the capital, but also to recover the lost territory occupied by the rebels."

The battle went smoothly, and Li Qi was also full of energy, nodded again and again, and said: "If our army completely annihilates the Tianyuan Army, the generals should be the first to attack."

"Haha," the generals laughed on their backs.

They only saw the rout of the rear army of the Tianyuan Army now, and did not see the front army and the middle army of the Tianyuan Army.

At this time, seeing that the enemy was almost led, the generals led by Qiu Zhen suddenly reined in their horses and stopped fleeing, and Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Plains Army, Peng Haochu, the commander of the Chifeng Army, and Gu Yue, the commander of the directly subordinate army, passed down the general order at the same time to collect the soldiers who were fleeing.

Hearing the order of the commander-in-chief, the commanders and commanders of each legion shouted loudly and gathered their respective subordinates.

The soldiers who were originally panicked gradually settled down under the command of the corps commander and the commander of the thousand, and quickly lined up in a phalanx.

The Tianyuan Army is not a rabble, the soldiers of each legion are trained quickly, and even if they have no fighting spirit and are being pursued by the enemy, the soldiers can still obey the command of the generals.

There was a phalanx on their side, and the soldiers who had fled from the rear army had also fallen.

Under the command of the generals of the various armies, the middle of the various formations has dispersed, vacating the passage, letting their own soldiers pass, and when the Peng soldiers chased forward, the passage immediately closed, the soldiers in the front row have set up shields, resisting the enemy's charge, and the soldiers in the rear set up halberds and spears, only in an instant, the front lines of the various formations are full of sharp edges, the tips of halberds and spears are of different lengths, and they move forward in unison, like hedgehogs.

The fastest wave of Peng soldiers was not well prepared, and the strength was insufficient, and they directly crashed into the phalanx of the Tianyuan Army, and with the muffled sound of pounce, hundreds of Peng soldiers were pierced by countless sharp edges, and they were killed on the spot.

"Ahh It was only at this time that Li Qi and the others saw clearly that there was a dense Tianyuan military formation in front of them, and the soldiers stood up tightly together, waiting for the formation.

Although the Tianyuan Army has no fighting spirit, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and if it fights hard, its own side will not have an advantage.

At this time, Li Qi had the idea of retreating again, and he said to the generals on the left and right: "The enemy army has lined up in a phalanx, and our army should not fight hard with it, so I think it is better to temporarily retreat to the capital."

"Hey" Xu Hui and Wei Xuan waved their hands at the same time, and said: "General Li, the enemy army is just bluffing, you are afraid that it will only charge in one round, and the Tianyuan army will be defeated":
