Chapter 574: As we grow older, we become more shrewd and plan ahead!
"General Liang, something is wrong. When did the fighting power of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty become so strong?" A captain followed Liang Kai, his face full of surprise.
Liang Kai's face also looked ugly. He had originally led 50,000 troops into Hua County, hoping to capture Hua County and win the first merit, but he did not expect to encounter such stubborn resistance.
"Order the entire army to kill them."
Liang Kai had a ruthless look on his face. Holding a spear in his hand, he drove the warhorse under his crotch and charged towards the attacking soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
"kill!"
Zhao Mu’s spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, and his cultivation level of a fifth-grade junior grandmaster burst out. He swung his spear and instantly killed all the surrounding soldiers of the Western Shu Dynasty.
The two armies fought fiercely, blood kept flowing, and in a short while, the ground was covered with densely packed corpses.
"Many brothers, charge forward and assist the General of Cavalry." Chu Yuxin was followed by 20,000 troops, attacking Liang Kai's army from the east.
"Report! Repay!"
"General Liang, something terrible has happened. An army has appeared from nowhere in the east and is encircling us."
Just as the two armies were fighting fiercely, a scout quickly came to Liang Kai.
"Damn it! Why are there so many soldiers ambushing in Hua County?"
Liang Kai frowned.
He had led troops in battles for many years, so he naturally knew that if he was attacked from the side by another army while he was fighting head-on with Zhao Mu on the opposite side, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow.
"Send a message to the army, moving to the left while fighting?" Liang Kai made a prompt decision, determined not to be surrounded by the enemy.
"Report! Repay!"
"General Liang, there is an army in the south, with more than 20,000 soldiers, attacking us."
Before Liang Kai's order was conveyed, a scout came up to him. It was Cai Chengqiang from the south, who led an army of 20,000 and attacked Liang Kai's army.
"Damn it! Is there an ambush in Hua County?"
Liang Kai's face was filled with anger. In front of him was Zhao Mu's 50,000-strong army, and on both sides there were large armies flanking him. If he did not retreat, he would surely be defeated.
"Quickly send someone to inform General Yuan and ask him to come closer to me." At this moment, Liang Kai remembered Yuan Tai who was still behind him, and spoke immediately.
"As ordered!"
The scout ran behind him.
"Kill!"
When Zhao Mu saw Chu Yuxin and Cai Chengping's army encircling them, he became completely bloodthirsty. He charged forward with a spear in hand and continued to attack.
For a time, morale boosted.
Chu Yuxin and Cai Chengping surrounded Liang Kai's army from both sides, and in just a short while, they killed Liang Kai's army one after another, forcing them to retreat continuously.
"Kill!"
Fang Ziqiang and Qu Yu each led an army of 20,000 and charged directly towards Yuan Tai's army of 50,000 from different directions.
"General Yuan, there are ambushes in Hua County." A captain of a thousand men was horrified when he saw the attacking army. They had thought that it would be easy to take Hua County, but they didn't expect that there were heavy troops ambushed in Hua County, waiting for them to enter.
"Report! General Yuan, General Yuan, my general requests General Yuan to lead the army and move closer to my general. We have encountered an ambush from the Song Dynasty in front of us. There are ambushes in the front, left, right and three directions. We have been completely surrounded."
The scout sent by Liang Kai came to Yuan Tai and bowed to report.
"Go and tell General Liang that there may be an ambush in Hua County. Ask him to withdraw quickly so that we can connect head to tail. My army has also encountered an ambush on the left and right sides."
When Yuan Tai heard the words of the scout sent by Liang Kai, his face changed drastically. He was now ambushed on both sides and had no chance to rescue Liang Kai.
"As ordered!"
The scout rode away on his warhorse.
Yuan Tai immediately turned around and looked at the messenger beside him: "Go and report to the general that there is an ambush in Hua County. Ask him to come to support immediately."
"obey"
The messenger soldiers rushed towards the entrance of Hua County without stopping.
"All troops, listen up! Fight your way out and try to join forces with General Liang."
Yuan Tai was also a general who had experienced many battles. Naturally, he was very clear about the current situation. He had to join forces with Liang Kai to resist the ambush of the Song Dynasty.
"rush!"
Fifty thousand troops rushed forward desperately.
"The enemy wants to support the front army. We must do our best to stop them from advancing and delay time. The Cavalry General will be able to encircle and annihilate the enemy's front army."
When Qu Yu saw that Yuan Tai wanted to rush out with his army, his face turned ruthless and he roared. He led his 20,000 troops to charge out madly to stop Yuan Tai from supporting Liang Kai who was surrounded by Zhao Mu in front.
"kill!"
Fang Ziqiang had followed Zhao Mu in marching and fighting for many years, and he could see through Yuan Tai's intention. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, led 20,000 soldiers and charged madly.
"When did the fighting power of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty become so strong? Two years ago, I once led troops into Hua County?"
A captain under Yuan Tai had a ferocious look on his face. Feeling the mad charge of the Song Dynasty soldiers, it was a life-and-death battle.
The most important thing is, even if you die in battle, you must take someone with you.
Facing such an army, as the battle continues, our momentum will become weaker and weaker, and the enemy will gradually gain the upper hand.
……
Nanyu County, outside Wanping City.
Luo Tong is now the acting prefect of Nanyu County. He wears a grey robe and still has a goatee. His eyeballs are invisible, his forehead is covered with wrinkles, but he has no eyebrows. His face looks quite funny, but no one dares to underestimate him.
It was Luo Tong who suggested that Ye Feng break through the second line of defense of King Nanyu in Nanyu County. That was why Ye Feng felt confident in handing over the management of the huge Nanyu County to him.
Nanyu County has a large territory, with nine cities and two counties. It is rich in resources and borders the Qingyuan Dynasty.
Since Luo Tong became the county magistrate, he has taken drastic measures and reorganized the entire Nanyu County in just a few months.
Luo Tong was riding a warhorse, holding the reins, standing there, the breeze blowing, making his robe rustle.
Right in front of Luo Tong stood an army of 200,000 strong. They were the soldiers that Luo Tong ordered to be recruited when he learned that the three great dynasties had issued a punitive declaration against the Song Dynasty.
Even Luo Tong has not had time to provide them with regular training up to now.
He also knew that time was running out.
The garrison of Zhao Mu in Pingxi County had no more than 100,000 soldiers at most.
Zhuang Yan came from the Western Shu Dynasty and led an army of 300,000 strong, all of whom were elite soldiers.
Even though Zhao Mu was a brave fighter, it would be extremely difficult for him to resist Zhuang Yan's army of 300,000 with only an army of more than 100,000.
When he learned that Xuancheng of the Western Shu Dynasty was going to attack the Song Dynasty, he ordered someone to write a letter to the Minister of War Yu Shouren, requesting to form a militia army to assist Pingxi County.
Yu Shouren reported the matter to Ye Feng.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng agreed directly.
Only then did we see the huge army of 200,000 that looked so disorganized.
