Chapter 358 Xu Hui and Wei Xuan, the two lieutenant generals who were entrusted by Zhong Tian and stayed in Yancheng, one died at the hands of Tang Yin and the other died at the hands of Shangguan Yuanbiao, but they did not end well.
On the other side, Zhao Hai, the Peng general who fought against Shangguan Yuanwu, did not go through ten rounds before he was picked up by Shangguan Yuanwu with a shot.
After killing the enemy general, Shangguan Yuanwu did not continue to charge, but rode his horse to the front of his brother Shangguan Yuanbiao, shook his head and shouted: "Withdraw to this formation" Shangguan Yuanwu knew his brother's cultivation too well, Shangguan Yuanbiao forcibly exercised the top skill of Bloody Soul Pursuit, and there was not much spiritual energy left, and it was difficult to deal with it if he stayed in the enemy formation, so Shangguan Yuanwu asked Shangguan Yuanbiao to withdraw with him.
When the two of them killed back, the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army had already come into contact with the Peng Army and started a corps battle.
The head-to-head confrontation between the corps and the corps cannot tolerate the slightest bit of stealing shortcuts, and whichever side is well-trained and has tacit cooperation will have the absolute upper hand.
The discipline of the officers and soldiers of the Tianyuan Army is very ordinary, but there is no ambiguity at all when it comes to fighting, the soldiers not only have strong individual combat ability, but also the strength of group combat should not be underestimated, on the other hand, the Peng Army is too far behind, the Peng soldiers are just ordinary people and slaves who are temporarily recruited, that is, there is no systematic training and no combat experience, and the disadvantages are immediately revealed in the battles between the corps.
I saw that the soldiers of Tianyuan were lined up in a neat phalanx, up and down the soldiers, and as soon as they arrived, whether they were advancing or retreating, they were all uniform.
The soldiers in the first row held their shields to withstand the attack of the Peng army, while the soldiers in the second row slashed and stabbed with the swords in their hands.
Without waiting for the Peng soldiers behind to step forward to fill in, the people in front of the Tianyuan Army had already stepped forward in unison, stepping on the corpses and wounded of the enemy soldiers, and continued to slash and kill the enemy soldiers behind.
The phalanx of the Tianyuan Army was like a huge meat grinder, constantly advancing forward, constantly devouring the lives of the Peng Army.
No matter how capable Li Qi is, no matter how strong the strength of the command is in battle, at this time, he can only stare dryly, and there is nothing he can do.
What's worse is that with the advance of the Tianyuan Army on Tang Yin's side, the Depeng soldiers retreated, and the Tianyuan Army phalanx on Qiu Zhen's side came up with the Peng Army's buttocks, and the two Tianyuan Army phalanxes were like iron tongs, clamping the Peng Army tightly in the middle.
The Peng army can't even resist one side, not to mention the front and back of the enemy, with more and more fallen soldiers, there are fewer and fewer living people standing on the battlefield, the military heart of the Peng army has begun to float, many soldiers look at the corpses and blood all over the ground, the fear has reached the point of unbearable, people seem to have lost their minds, crazy to the Tianyuan military array.
It's just that in front of the phalanx of the Tianyuan Army, the life of the Peng soldier was too fragile, and he was cut to the ground as soon as he made contact.
More Peng soldiers disobeyed the command, threw away their weapons, and fled in all directions screaming.
There is the first person to escape, there is a second, the third, soon, the mood of fleeing for their lives like a plague, spread to the whole army, the remaining 20,000 Peng soldiers have no intention of fighting again, have given up resistance, or surrendered, or fled in a hurry, at this time look at the Peng army, there is no formation at all, just like a nest of headless flies that have blown up the battalion.
After Li Qi saw such a scene, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, he couldn't imagine that he would die here At this time, the generals beside him gasped and said, "General Li, the rebels are powerful, let's run away too."
"Where else can we flee" Li Qi was already desperate, now it was the Tianyuan Army before and after, not to mention that he couldn't escape, even if he escaped, where could he go back to Yancheng Yancheng when he came out with an army of 50,000 people, and now he was left alone, and he couldn't stop the counterattack of the Tianyuan Army when he returned to Yancheng, and it was still a dead end.
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood" Seeing that Li Qi was no longer alive, the surrounding generals hurriedly said: "General Li, as long as we break out of the siege and return to the capital, we can also organize the people in the city to resist the Tianyuan army, and if we stay here, it will really be a dead end."
"Yes, General Li, let's go" Listening to the persuasion of the generals, Li Qi had a glimmer of hope in his heart, yes, the people of Yancheng are close to one million, and the military resources in the city are sufficient, so it is not impossible to really organize tens of thousands of people to resist the attack of the Tianyuan army.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Regardless of the generals, follow the general to break through."
"Yes," the generals replied in unison.
Because the front and rear were the phalanx of the Tianyuan Army, Li Qi and the others couldn't rush out if they wanted to, so they mixed in the deserters of the Peng Army, got off the official road, rode their horses and whips, and rushed to the forest on the side of the road.
It seems that the Peng army will flee to the forest, and there are a large number of Tianyuan army ambushes in the woods, and the Peng soldiers who ran into the woods are knocked to the ground by the Tianyuan soldiers who are ambushed from time to time, and there are miserable cries in the woods from time to time.
Li Qi and the others were not spared, they had just entered the woods and had not run far, when several tripping horse locks suddenly popped up below, and before Li Qi and the others could react, they fell to the ground with their horses.
A few people had just stood up, only to hear the shouts of killing all around, and hundreds of Tianyuan soldiers rushed out of the trees and grass, brandishing their swords and rushing towards them.
Li Qi and the other generals all used their skills, covered the spirit armor, held the spirit soldiers, and killed hundreds of Tianyuan soldiers and soldiers back.
As soon as the Tianyuan army withdrew, Li Qi and the others didn't dare to delay for a moment, they didn't even want war horses, they hid in the depths of the woods on foot, but they didn't go far, and countless carvings suddenly flew behind them, and the two backward Peng generals hurriedly used the swords and guns in their hands to block, but the two of them could block one or two arrows, but they couldn't block hundreds or thousands, and the dense arrows passed through their weapons, nailed to the spirit armor of the two from time to time, and the color of jingling was endless.
It didn't take long, the spirit armor on the two of them was cracked, and the secret scream was not good, and the two wanted to escape again, it was too late, with a crisp snap, the spirit armor on the two of them was finally shattered under the continuous impact of the arrows, and in an instant, the bodies of the two generals were nailed into hedgehogs, and the bodies full of arrows knelt on the ground, and they couldn't even fall.
However, taking advantage of the obstruction of these two Peng generals, Li Qi and the remaining three Peng generals finally got rid of the ambushed Tianyuan Army and fled to the depths of the woods.
Listening to the shouts behind him getting farther and farther away, and finally gradually disappeared, the exhausted four people finally stopped, sat on the ground one after another, leaned against the trees, and inhaled heavily.
"General Li, I heard that the rebels didn't chase after us, we are finally safe," a Peng general dissipated the spirit armor on his body, wiped the sweat on his face, and said breathlessly.
"Alas" Li Qi sighed bitterly, and said quietly: "Since I was in the army, I have been on the battlefield for a long time, but I have never been defeated so badly."
Hearing this, the three Peng generals were all red-faced, they were also one of the generals who persuaded Li Qi to go out of the city to chase and kill the Tianyuan Army, but now they fell for the tricks of the Tianyuan Army and the whole army was wiped out, and they could not escape the blame.
"General Li, as long as you can hold the capital, this defeat is nothing."
Yes, it is better to be able to hold the capital than anything, but, can you hold it Li Qi has no confidence at this time.
He held on to the trunk of the tree, stood up, and said, "We can't rest any longer, we have to rush back to the capital immediately, regroup our troops, and resist the counterattack of the Tianyuan Army."
"It's a general" The three generals stood up tiredly, followed Li Qi, and returned to Yancheng.
When they left the city, it was a mighty army of 50,000, and after only half a day's work, when they returned to the city, only Li Qi and three low-ranking generals were left, and the misery of their defeat can be seen.
The four of them had no horses, so they could only walk back to Yancheng, and when they arrived in Yancheng, it was already evening and the sky was dark.
Li Qi lowered his head, walked towards the city with a long sigh, and didn't pay too much attention, and when the three Peng generals beside him raised their eyes to look at Yancheng, they were all stunned, rubbed their eyes in unison, and looked carefully at the head of Yancheng.
After the three of them saw it clearly, they were dumbfounded and couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
"General Lee Lee" One Peng curled his tongue and stammered to call out to Li Qi, who was walking in front.
"What's the matter" Li Qi stopped his steps and looked back at him in confusion.
"General Li, are you dazzled by your subordinates, how do I see the wind flag hanging on the head of the city" Na Peng looked at Yancheng with his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

"What are you kidding" Li Qi scoffed, even if Ye Cheng had the courage to do so, he would not replace the Peng flag and hang the wind flag instead.
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the head of Yancheng casually, but at this glance, Li Qi was also stupid.
I saw that on the head of Yancheng, the red Peng flag has disappeared, but it is full of white flags on a black background, one in the middle, there is the wind word of the bucket, on both sides, there is a big flag, the right flag is written with the word Tang, and the left flag is written with the word Tianyuan.
Ah Li Qi was surprised, what is going on Ye Cheng ate the bear's heart and the leopard was not bold, and he dared to change the banner of the capital privately After a while, Li Qi came back to his senses, and his face became gloomy.
At this time, he didn't expect that Yancheng had been lost, what he thought was that Ye Cheng was too bold and changed the national flag privately, if Zhong Tian knew that Ye Cheng was going to lose his head, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.
He turned back angrily and said, "Don't be stunned and go back to the city with me, I want to see what medicine Ye Cheng took wrong."
As he spoke, he shook off his stride and strode towards the city gate.
Before he could get closer, suddenly, there was a piercing scream from the top of the city, and then a rattle-tailed arrow flew down from the top of the city, hitting the ground in front of Li Qi.
This is all a warning signal from the enemy to the enemy.
Li Qi's heart trembled, and he subconsciously stopped his steps, and then he was even more angry in his heart, raised his head, and shouted at the city: "I am the general Li Qi, who dares to release arrows at me" Hearing his shout, there was obviously a stirring on the head of the city, and after a short time, the gate of Yancheng opened, and a team of people ran out of it.
There are not many people in this team, only about five hundred, the head of the burly frightened, standing in the front of the soldiers, one head taller, one big man, one on the back, and a huge hammer on the shoulder, looking from a distance, this will not look like a person, but more like a bear that has become a spirit
