Chapter 771 The Dust Settles
"Blow the horn!" Li Jing pulled out the horizontal knife and swung it forward hard. "Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu" a shrill horn sounded throughout the field.
The birds in the forest circling between the farmland and the treetops in the distance were immediately dissipated by the sound of horns, and flew around with feather arrows. "Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu" Under the blue sky, horns kept coming back, like tigers roaring, dragons roaring, like wind passing through the wall. Li Jing felt that all the blood in his body was burning, shouting loudly, and raising his knife forward. However, several personal guards blocked his way unceremoniously and formed an insurmountable barrier with their bodies.
"There is no need for the marshal to do it yourself!" The guards said very considerately, dancing the corner flag quickly, and ordering the vanguard cavalry to fight. In the blink of an eye, the horn sound was replaced by the shouts of killing. Teams of Hebei cavalry rushed out and charged towards the rebels who were retreating south.
The iron hooves flew over and the war horses were scattered. The cavalrymen who had just arrived saw King Chen's banner surrounded by rebels, and looked at the tragic battlefield, all of them were extremely guilty. At this time, they all raised their courage and rushed to the battlefield like flying.
The earth was shaking slightly. In the distance, the Hebei cavalry turned into a series of crossbows and poured rain of arrows towards the rebels.
One by one, the cavalry grenades were thrown out, and the white smoke fell into the rebel formation with fire and exploded one after another. The rebels were subjected to this fierce attack and had to turn around and walk. At the same moment, Wang Xuanying and others who were away from home saw Li Jing's troops coming. Not only did they not turn back to rescue their subordinates, but instead accelerated their speed and ran towards the south.
Wang Xuanying ran away while galloping back and looking back from time to time. He watched his subordinates fall down one by one in despair. He fell under the swords of the flying Hebei cavalry. He did not expect that Li Jing would come so quickly, and before his troops could retreat, Li Jing had already arrived.
No one could stop this fierce attack. Especially when his subordinates had just received the order to withdraw their troops, it was the most chaotic and the weakest defense. At this time, when Li Jing was attacked so fiercely, I don’t know how many of the tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield could escape.
It's over, it's all over. He originally expected to lead these tens of thousands of men to the south. Even if he defected to Shen Faxing and went to Nanchen, he could at least become rich with these soldiers. But now, the enemy appeared when he withdrew his troops. He was chasing him so fiercely, and his tens of thousands of soldiers were finished.
Wang Xuanying couldn't have any idea of turning around to fight. At this time, he just wanted to escape, escape from here and escape to the south.
"Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu"
Another burst of horn sounded. Wang Xuanying turned his head and looked at it, but saw that Chen Pojun, who was originally surrounded by heavy horns, actually issued a charge horn. More than 10,000 remaining soldiers actually burst out with fierce roars and launched a counter-charge against the Zheng army, which was several times more than them.
However, the Zheng army, which was originally highly morale, fled completely in panic. Tens of thousands of soldiers were chased by more than ten thousand soldiers and fled in scattered.
"Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu"
The sound of a trumpet like a life-seeking effort sounded again, but this time, the sound came from front of them. Wang Xuanying's face was pale and almost fell off his horse in shock. He looked up and saw a faint battle between him and his horses were coming from the other side.
"Brother, there is a soldier in front that blocked our way." Wang Xuanshu drove to Wang Xuanying and said.
"Whose soldiers and who is the chief general?"
Wang Xuanshu said with a pale face: "There are about 10,000 soldiers and horses. The ones who are fighting against Hainan Princess Feng, the chief manager of the Phoenix Army, and the other with the word Zhang written on it. The people in front of him repay it. The ones who are leading them seem to be several female generals."
"Female general?" Wang Xuanying was going crazy at this time. "No matter whether he is a female general or a male general, the whole army rushed for me. If he rushed over, there would be a way out. If he couldn't, we would be dead."
Seeing the sudden appearance of intercepting soldiers and horses, Wang Xuanying felt more and more that all of this today was a conspiracy that Chen Pojun had already arranged. Chen Kefu used his body as bait to attract their attention and drag their troops. Then Li Jing, Zhang Zhongjian and his troops were divided into two groups, tracing their retreat and blocking their retreat. He now extremely doubted that the Zhang flag was Zhang Zhongjian's general flag, otherwise, how could ten thousand soldiers and horses suddenly appear in front of them, and they were led by some female general.
Chen Kefu did not give him a chance to survive, nor did they all have a chance to survive. Wang Xuanying never thought of surrendering to Chen Kefu. He and Li Mi were both people Chen Pojun wanted to kill him. When it came to Chen Kefu's hands, there would never be any chance to survive.
Under the flying battle flag, Zhai Wushuang, Feng Huan and Zhang Chuchen were all wearing clothes, standing on horseback, long spears in their hands, and armor on their bodies. They were heroic and as beautiful as men. Ten thousand civilian engineers and medical soldiers brought from Luokou Camp were here.
When Chen Kefu sent troops, he left three women and auxiliary militia engineers to guard the camp. As a result, in the morning, the defeated soldiers fled back to the camp one after another. After Feng Hua asked, he realized that the battle was not good. First, Huangfu Wuyi's Eastern Capital Army was defeated, and Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and others in the middle of the formation returned in vain and were pursued by the rebels halfway. Chen Kefu led his army to attack, but was outnumbered and surrounded by the rebels.
Faced with this disastrous information, the three women were so shocked that they couldn't believe it. But more and more defeated soldiers returned to Luokou Camp, and they had to believe that this was the fact. After understanding the previous battle situation, the three of them briefly discussed and immediately sent several teams of messengers to Luokou Cang City and Hulao to report to help. Then the three women immediately put on some tricks and ordered all the civilians, engineers, medical soldiers and other personnel in the camp, and then gathered the defeated soldiers.
After some rectification, more than 10,000 people were raised. Zhai Wushuang meant to take these people directly to the battlefield to rescue Chen Kefu. But after Feng Huan and Zhang Chuchen discussed it for a while, they still felt that they had to act carefully. These ten thousand people were basically not very capable of fighting. It was okay to raise the number of people to support the scene and deploy suspicious soldiers. If they really wanted to take them directly to the battlefield, not only would they not be able to save Chen Pojun, but they would not be able to protect themselves.
In the end, Feng Huan and Zhang Chuchen finally convinced Zhai Wushuang. They led the more than 10,000 troops to advance to the battlefield and gathered all the defeated soldiers they encountered along the way. When they were about to approach the battlefield, they finally gathered thousands of defeated soldiers, which had more combat power than when they first came out.
When he arrived near the battlefield, Feng Hua ordered the formation on the spot, and asked the engineers to dig ditches and set up camps to release horses, prepare crossbow beds, catapults and gunpowder weapons. Then he drew a group of collapsed soldiers to bluff, attract and disperse some of the rebels, and help Chen Kefu relieve some of the pressure. Everything was ready, and just about to send troops, he received a report from the scouts sent out, saying that Wang Xuanying and Li Mi and other rebels had already retreated to the south with flags.
After a while, he heard the scouts coming to report that Marshal Li Jing had arrived. After hearing this good news, Feng Hua immediately ordered to stop taking the initiative and instead let the more than 10,000 troops continue to strengthen the fortifications. Sure enough, not long after, Wang Xuanying, Li Mi and others arrived in a blink of an eye.
"Rise the gun and line up!" Feng Huan rode on the horse and shouted softly.
Behind the horse-resisting horses, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their spears at the same time. Although there were more civil servants in the more than 10,000 people, even a civil servant would be equipped with the minimum spear-straight sword on the battlefield.
The dense spears were raised, hundreds of steps wide, forming a dense forest of steel spears.
Wang Xuanying looked at the gun forest with a expressionless face. When he rode on the horse, he had already recognized that the generals in the other side were indeed women, and a feeling of being insulted came to his heart. Although Wang Xuanying inherited his father's foundation, he had never been afraid of whether it was Luokou fight against Li Mi, Black Stone fight against Li Jing, or pointing to challenge Chen Pojun in any battle. He never thought that one day, several women would dare to stand in front of him, and even kept saying that they would surrender to avoid death.
Holding his trembling hands tightly, Wang Xuanying raised his clenched fist and waved it heavily at the blocked gun: "Kill!"
There is blockage in front and pursuers behind.
Tens of thousands of soldiers had reached a desperate situation. Facing Li Jing and Chen Pojun who were rushing to pursue him, even if there was a dense forest of guns in front of them, even if there was a sea of swords and fire, they were willing to break up.
The rebels roared wildly, and made hysterical roars, charging towards the gun formations of Feng Hua, Zhang Chuchen and Zhai Wushuang.
"Boundle bed, catapult cart, and thunder throwing cart fire!" Feng Hua shouted with a sharp order. The engineers who had been preparing for a long time immediately launched the loaded stone bombs, iron crossbows, and various gunpowder bombs. Chen Kefu and his team sent troops before, but because of maneuvering, they did not bring these large long-range equipment. As a result, when Feng Hua and the others came out, they brought everything with them. At this time, facing the crazy impact of the rebels, they immediately launched it like a saturation.
Under the suppression of dense firepower, the first wave of rebels basically fell on the way to charge.
Wang Xuanying unwillingly launched the second, third and fourth waves of charges. However, there were fortifications like turtle shells, such as fortifications such as turtle shells, as well as a large number of gunpowder weapons, professional engineers, numerous catapult cars, bed crossbows, and dense gun arrays. The rebels fell one after another, rushing up and falling down.
In nearly half an hour, the rebels only captured the first fortification, but there were two complete fortifications on the positions of Feng Hua's three female generals.
When Wang Xuanying launched the fifth wave of charge, Chen Kefu finally joined forces with Li Jing and defeated all the soldiers and horses behind Wang Xuanying left by Wang Xuanying one by one, killing Wang Xuanying behind. There was a rock-like blocking in front, and a tiger-like wolf-like pursuit behind, attacking on both sides, a fierce melee.
The sun sets and the sunset is at dusk. When the bright sunset in the west reflects on the battlefield, Wang Xuanying, who failed to break through, looked at Li Mi opposite him, then looked at the narrowing encirclement around him, looked speechlessly at the sky, threw down the long sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "We have come down!"
