Chapter two thousand three hundred and twenty-five
The sound of war drums is vast and dense, and it sounds like it is coming from all directions. You know that the range is extremely wide and there is a certain distance!
"This is……"
Ding Yanping was overjoyed to leave the army, but Zhou Yin and other Western Chu troops were confused and concerned.
This is the sound of war drums coming from the rear of the Western Chu army, and it covers a wide area, almost surrounding the entire Western Chu army surrounding the two mountains!
The next moment...
More than a hundred giant dragons appeared in the sky, flying across the sky at extremely fast speeds, with a fan-shaped area of more than a hundred miles, surrounding the rear of the Western Chu army.
Each one can be as small as several hundred feet, or as large as more than a thousand feet. The largest one is four to five thousand feet long, which is shocking!
Such a large dragon-shaped Dharma must have been transformed by a battle formation. It is extremely difficult for an individual to achieve it, and it is basically impossible!
The largest one is an astonishing four to five thousand feet long, bigger than Lingjue Mountain and Wangji Mountain. It is also slow as a shuttle and has clear scales and claws. It is obviously the ultimate war appearance.
What's more...
Zhou Yin and other Western Chu generals instantly guessed that this was the final battle led by Emperor Li Wuxin!
According to the intelligence, only Emperor Li could do this and create a dragon-shaped war appearance.
"Fell into a trap? Fell into a trap?!"
"Is this to lure the enemy in and counter the encirclement? And it's Li Huang's personal expedition?!"
Thinking of this, the hearts of the generals of Western Chu sank, and the great commander of Western Chu, Zhou Yin, even thought with a thud in his heart.
However, given the current situation, it is obviously too late to evacuate and escape from the encirclement...
Looking at the entire battlefield, it is impossible to gather the Western Chu army together. There are two mountains and forest between them, and the Li army is still defending on the top of the mountain, so they cannot gather together at all.
"Da Sima, what should we do now? Are we still fighting to the death?! Maybe we can rush straight to the lower city, defend the city, and wait for reinforcements!"
A Western Chu general looked at Zhou Yin anxiously and asked.
To be honest, the Western Chu army still has 367 million people, nearly twice as many as the Li army. It is not without the strength to fight. If they grit their teeth and charge forward, they can fight to the Xialou City not far away.
It is not impossible to defend the city, but the success rate is very high!
but……
Zhou Yin originally favored civil servants. He was not a brave general who could fight to the death. He did not have a heart of iron and blood, nor was he loyal until death.
In Wu Xin's past life memory, although Zhou Yin was the Great Sima of Western Chu, he eventually betrayed Western Chu and defected to the Han Dynasty. Finally, he betrayed the Han Dynasty again and was killed for treason!
This was also one of the main bases for Li Huang Wuxin to plan the adventure when he heard that the leader of the Western Chu army was Zhou Yin. Otherwise, it would be dangerous and worthless if the Li army suffered too many casualties in the Western Chu Immortal Dynasty!
"Pa..."
Zhou Yin slapped himself hard, regret, unwillingness, hesitation and other emotions welled up in his heart, and finally shook his head with pretense of regret:
"It's too late... How far have we advanced since the fierce battle? Moreover, when the enemy troops evacuated on their own initiative, going downstairs to the city... is as close as Chi Chi, but as far away as the horizon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yin suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist with an awe-inspiring attitude, swung his sword and ordered:
"Instruct the whole army...the front army to fight to the death and kill the enemy as much as possible! The middle and rear army turn around and face the powerful enemy!"
After all, Zhou Yin wanted to lose face and did not say anything about withdrawing his troops and breaking out of the encirclement. However, those with a shrewd mind heard it!
The middle and rear armies turned around to fight, and then they decided to live and die according to their fate, and each broke out!
As for the former army... it has been abandoned. This is the right decision!
If the front army also turns around, the Western Chu army will be flanked by enemies from both sides, which would be terrible!
Zhou Yin's ability is quite good, he can be said to be top-notch, but he is relatively precious about his life and has no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He is greedy for power and ambitious, and his determination is not yet firm!
To put it bluntly, he is just a bit greedy for life and afraid of death, and has a lot of tricks!
…
"Drum beat! Charge...the whole army charges!"
When the order was given to fight and retreat at the same time, the experienced Ding Yanping had already guessed the plan of Emperor Li.
Subsequently, nearly half of the 1.5 million Imperial Guards were gathered in Xialou City as a precaution. Most of them were also arrayed outside Xialou City, ready to respond at any time!
Seeing that Li Huang personally led the reinforcements to arrive, the Western Chu army began to riot. Ding Yanping decisively ordered the entire army to charge, and took the lead. He rushed forward with two guns in hand...
Attacking from both front and back has a huge impact on morale and fighting spirit!
Li Huang Wuxin personally led 20 million Li Imperial Guard troops, marching at a speed far exceeding Xi Chu's expectations, using battle formations to rush forward, and arrived in time. Their momentum was like a rainbow, and their fighting spirit soared into the sky!
With one ebb and flow, there is not much suspense about the outcome of the battle.
There are no top legionaries, famous generals, or great monks in the Western Chu army, who can compete with Li Huang, the Four Great Sword Gods, etc. Naturally, they are no match for the Li Army, and they have lost the overall military strength, making the Li Army almost invincible.
Sweep away fallen leaves!
Cries of killing, screams, roars, etc. echoed throughout the mountains and forests, echoing endlessly!
The battle only lasted for half a day. By the time the sun set and the sky was stained with clouds, the battle spread over the two mountains had been basically settled!
Of the 50 million Western Chu reinforcements, very few escaped. It is not an exaggeration to say that there was only one in ten thousand. It is estimated that those who took advantage of the chaos to escape were less than 5,000!
This interception battle, sniper battle, and siege battle lasted for a whole day, it was hasty, fierce, and tragic!
An army of 50 million people, more than 30 million of whom died in battle, completely dyed the green mountains, forests and plains red, and then turned them into a dark red mud of flesh and blood.
The ferocious corpses are piled on top of each other, scattered all over the two mountains, with almost no place to stay!
However, in the end, more than 13 million of the Western Chu army surrendered and were captured by the Li army. This was one of the main reasons why the war situation was calmed down so quickly.
With the commander and generals out of touch, and the whole group of people without a leader, can they still expect the soldiers of Western Chu to fight to the death?!
It can be said that coach Zhou Yin "contributed indispensably" to the end of the war so quickly and such a huge defeat!
"See my emperor! My emperor is wise, has endless plans, and has wonderful plans!"
The war situation subsided, and the Li army began to rest and clean up the mess. Li Huang Wuxin frowned and looked at the bloody and cruel battle.
The Duke of Wei, Ding Yanping, led his bodyguards to come. As soon as they arrived, they paid homage, which attracted the attention of everyone nearby...
When you are out on a battle, you have your armor on you, so you don’t need to pay homage. This is not appropriate in itself, but it is also a sign of respect for the soldiers who are loyal to the country...
Except for the deformed Demon Qing Kingdom, this is the rule everywhere!
"Haha... Duke Wei has excited the country! In this battle, Duke Wei should take the lead, and he can be crowned king. I hope he will continue his efforts and conquer the capital of Western Chu in one fell swoop!"
Lihuang Wuxin was startled, looked at the man who was tied up like a rice dumpling, laughed and praised him repeatedly, giving him enough appreciation and commitment!
What Wu Xin didn't know was that besides excitement, Ding Yanping also felt a little ashamed and self-blame for what he did!
"The Great Sima of Western Chu...Zhou Yin? What kind of attire are you wearing?"
Liu Jingrong, the graceful and graceful imperial censor who was a flower among thousands of trees, looked at the people brought by Ding Yanping, her beautiful eyes were the first to speak.
Isn’t it Zhou Yin?
But at this time, Zhou Yin had disheveled hair and was still wearing an ordinary Western Chu military uniform. He was obviously absconding in disguise, but he was spotted by the ashamed and guilty Ding Yanping, who forced him to catch up and capture him alive!
In this battle, the Li army suffered more than one million casualties. Ding Yanping must bear some responsibility for his mistakes in his initial ideas and strategies!
However, it was Ding Yanping who acted well and could be said to have performed in his true colors. Otherwise, the Western Chu army might not have believed it, so they cooperated and chased into the mountains and forests. There were both merits and demerits, but the merits outweighed the faults!
