At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, on the hillside outside the city, Lian Po looked at the black shadow gradually approaching in the darkness in the distance. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but tighten his right hand on the handle of his halberd.
Zhao Jun held his breath, like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait, slowly waiting for the Chu army to approach.
There was a light mist in the sky. Although there was bright moonlight, only a vague figure could be seen. If it was a little further away, it would not be clear, which provided the most favorable environment for Zhao Jun.
Lian Po silently activated the Xu Lin Formation and enveloped the army behind him. Zhao Jun, who was originally hidden in the darkness, gradually blended into the surrounding environment under the cover of the Xu Lin Formation. Even if he stood in front of him, he could see without looking carefully.
If you don't come out, there are thousands of troops hiding here.
Soon, the vanguard of the Chu army arrived at the bottom of the hillside.
"Xiangzi Banner, the Chu army is indeed as Sinong said. The troops are divided into two groups. Xiang Pei leads the army to retreat, and Jingyang leads the army to the rear." Lian Po said in a low voice.
The Chu army was completely plotted by Cai Ze. All their reactions were in Cai Ze's calculations, even who led the army to retreat and who took the rear was correct.
Cai Ze smiled and said nothing. He directly brought Jingyang and Xiang Pei's thoughts into simulation. If he couldn't even guess this, all these years would have been in vain.
Lian Po did not immediately give the order to attack. It was not until the front row of the Chu army had passed two or three hundred meters that he gave the order: "Fire arrows!"
Suddenly, the sound of bowstrings exploded, which was particularly harsh in the silent night, and dense arrows shot towards the Chu army like raindrops.
The unprepared Chu army was instantly shot to the ground. The remaining Chu army panicked and tried to find the enemy, but the surroundings were dark and they had no idea where the enemy was or how many there were.
At this moment, an inexplicable fear enveloped Chu Jun's heart.
"The enemy is attacking!" Xiang Pei held up a large shield in one hand, blocked the incoming arrows, and said urgently, "Don't be afraid, everyone, line up on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Ordinary soldiers did not know how many enemies there were, but Xiang Pei, who had experienced the battlefield for a long time, quickly judged from the number of arrows that the Zhao army was only a few thousand, and no more than 10,000 at most.
As long as the Chu army stabilizes its position and waits for the rear army to slowly catch up, it is not difficult to defeat the Zhao army.
But he miscalculated two things.
The Zhao army that just released arrows is indeed only a few thousand, but the total number of Zhao army is far more than a few thousand.
In addition, he far underestimated Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness.
"Brothers, follow me and kill the enemy!" Lian Po shouted loudly as soon as the three waves of arrows passed by.
The Xuanjia troops behind them threw away their bows and arrows, picked up their big shields and heavy swords, and roared towards the Chu army like a flood that broke a bank.
Cai Ze silently mobilized his mental power and pushed a few dark clouds from a distance to cover the battlefield.
Soon, the battlefield fell into darkness.
The Xuanjia Army did not change their expressions and continued to rush forward, as if they were not affected at all.
But the Chu army panicked instantly. Just now they could barely see their surroundings, but now they were more than one meter away and could hardly see anything. How could they fight?
The unknown is always the scariest thing.
In this environment, those who can avoid collapse are the best among the best.
Being able to be almost unaffected like the Xuanjia Army, no matter whether there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front of them, as long as the order is given and they rush forward with their eyes closed, even if they are not the Army Soul Army, they still have the strength to fight against the Army Soul Army.
But it is obvious that most of the Chu army cannot even be called elite, not to mention having the strength to fight against the Army Soul Legion.
"Death." Lian Po rushed to the front, and with a wave of his big halberd, he knocked away the thousands of Chu soldiers standing in front of him.
Darkness has a great impact on ordinary soldiers, but it has almost no impact on Lian Po, who has reached the holy realm. As long as there is a little light, he can clearly see the Chu army in front of him.
The Xuanjia Army followed Lian Po, holding a large shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other. As long as an enemy appeared in front of them, the sword flashed and a target fell to the ground.
These ordinary Chu troops were not even qualified to let the Xuanjia army use large shields.
When the Chu troops heard that the enemy had reached them, they all fled towards the rear and attacked the army's formation. Some Chu troops were unsteady and fell to the ground and never stood up again.
The situation that Xiang Pei had worked so hard to stabilize became chaotic. The Chu army's formation collapsed completely under the constant impact. The soldiers attacked each other, surrounded each other, and fled in all directions. No matter how Xiang Pei tried to stop it, it was of no use.
It was pitch dark at this time, and the Chu army didn't even know where Xiang Pei was, but the Zhao army came to kill them.
Between obeying orders and saving one's life, most people obviously choose the latter.
Fu Da stood at the back and heard the shouting of killing coming from the front, so he quickly rushed over with tens of thousands of strong men.
"Sinong." Fu Dai said with fists clasped after seeing Cai Ze.
"You don't want to join the battle. Just stand in the back and shout to kill. The louder the voice, the better." Cai Ze ordered.
These strong men were recruited just yesterday. Although everyone in this era is a soldier and many of them have combat experience, the combat effectiveness of most of them is really not that good.
Instead of going forward to cause trouble and increase unnecessary casualties, it is better to wave the flag and shout from the rear to intimidate the Chu army.
The Xuanjia Army is enough to kill the enemy.
Anyway, the entire battlefield was dark, and the Chu army did not know how many enemies there were, let alone that most of them did not participate in the battle at all.
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
"Capture Jingyang alive and capture Xiang Pei!"
…
Soon, the Zhao army's shouts of killing came from around the battlefield. The sound was so loud that it was unknown how many people there were. These voices were still moving back and forth, and they could kill the Chu army at any time.
After experiencing several surprises, the Chu army panicked, and suddenly heard that there were so many Zhao troops around them who were attacking towards them. They collapsed completely and fled around in panic.
The Chu army stretched for several miles, and before they knew what was happening in front, they were swept up and carried by the fleeing Chu army, and continued to flee towards the rear.
Fear is contagious. When countless Chu troops run wildly and escape in the dark, fear will be quickly amplified. Each Chu army is like a frightened bird. Any sound around them will make them run around in fear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if two Chu armies collide, they will fight.
It is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe in the darkness, and even friendly troops cannot be trusted.
No matter who stood up at this time, it was impossible to prevent the Chu army's defeat.
This is also the reason why Lian Po does not let those young men participate in the battle. He can guarantee that the Xuanjia Army will never cause trouble and can resolutely carry out his orders even in the dark.
But he could not guarantee the combat effectiveness and execution ability of these young men.
Instead, shouting kills all around to scare these Chu troops would be more effective.
"Go to hell!" Lian Po rushed to Xiang Pei and poured all his energy into the halberd. The blade of the halberd directly extended several meters in length and slashed towards Xiang Pei.
"Lian Po!" Xiang Pei waved a crescent moon to block Lian Po's attack and stared at Lian Po angrily.
"Surrender, or die." Lian Po said in a deep voice, and attacked Xiang Pei again. The heavy halberd was as light as nothing in Lian Po's hand. He compressed the air into the shape of a long halberd at an extremely fast speed and hit Xiang Pei.
On the body.
"Poof!" Xiang Pei spurted out a mouthful of blood, his chest instantly sunk, and he didn't know how many bones were broken.
At the same time, the Xuanjia Army also fought with Xiang Pei's personal guards.
The Xuanjia army thrust their large shields forward and drove back Xiang Pei's guards. When the enemy was not yet firm, they followed up with their heavy swords, and a human head flew out.
As the top elite personal guard in the entire Chu State, facing the Xuanjia Army, which was a military soul army, it had almost no ability to fight back and was completely pinned to the ground and rubbed.
"Brothers, fight with them." A thousand-man general shouted, and he rushed towards the Xuanjia Army resolutely. He slashed the big shield with his broadsword. The Xuanjia Army did not react at all, and the rebound damage directly hit thousands
People will be beheaded.
Countless guards responded to the call and rushed towards the Xuanjia Army with the belief that they would bite off a piece of flesh from the Xuanjia Army even if they died. In the end, they all died under their own attacks, while the Xuanjia Army was unscathed.
At this time, the power unleashed by Xiang Pei's personal guards was almost threatening the Xuanjia Army. As long as they took one more step forward, they could break through the Xuanjia Army's defense.
After all, no matter how high the defense of the Xuanjia Army is, it is not invincible.
In fact, as long as one can reach the elite level, the extreme power that can be unleashed may threaten the Army Soul Corps.
It's just that most of the legions are unable to unleash their ultimate power, so they can only stay at this level.
And any legion that explodes with this kind of power, as long as it is not destroyed, can at least become something close to a military soul legion, and even a very small number can directly become a military soul legion.
Just like the Longxi Cavalry, before becoming the Military Soul Legion, their strength was not outstanding, but they suddenly became the Military Soul Legion.
However, Xiang Pei's personal guards were obviously not so lucky. Under the attack of Zhao Jun, their efforts were more like a meaningless struggle. No matter how hard they tried, they could not change the result.
"If you don't want the entire Chu army to be annihilated, it's best to give the order to surrender." Lian Po said in a deep voice, slashing the blade from mid-air, leaving a deep scar visible to the bone on Xiang Pei's body, and blood spurted out like no money.
out.
Xiang Pei said nothing, still gritting his teeth to support himself.
Lian Po's strength completely crushed him, and the personal guards were no match for the Xuanjia Army.
As for the other Chu troops... they couldn't help at all.
However, as long as he can hold on for a while, Jingyang will be able to lead the reinforcements, and he will be able to defeat the Zhao army by then.
"Tie him up." Lian Po slapped Xiang Pei away again and said to his subordinates.
Two Xuanjia soldiers ran in front of Xiang Pei, pulled out the rope from his arms, and tied up Xiang Pei three times. The guards rushed to kill Xiang Pei desperately, trying to rescue Xiang Pei, but they were all killed by the Xuanjia soldiers.
.
"My general Zhao Guo Lianpo and Chu general Xiang Pei have been captured by me. You will immediately lay down your weapons and surrender. I can promise not to kill you. After ten breaths, all Chu soldiers who have not laid down their weapons will be killed without mercy."
Lian Po said loudly.
Lian Po's shouts did not have much effect. Only a small number of Chu troops laid down their weapons and surrendered. The remaining Chu troops were still fleeing. The large army was coercing them and they could not stop. Their actions were no longer their own.
It's controllable.
"Put down your weapons and surrender without killing!" Lian Po roared again. This time he mobilized the power of his military soul. It was like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder exploding in the Chu army's ears. All the Chu army's figures were stagnant. After a few seconds,
Only then did Xi Fang react, and they put down their weapons and surrendered.
"Fu Da." Lian Po shouted to the rear.
"General!" Fu Da quickly ran over from behind and looked at Lian Po with excitement. He had seen with his own eyes how Lian Po defeated Chu's army of more than 200,000 with an army of 5,000.
Well, he can't see what's going on on the battlefield, but he can feel it.
In short, Lian Po’s battle was enough to become a god!
"Where's Si Nong?" Lian Po took another careful look and didn't see Cai Ze.
"Sinong was worried about General Yan Xiong, so he went there in advance." Fu Da said.
"These prisoners are handed over to you. If anyone dares to cause trouble, he will be killed directly. Don't be merciful." Lian Po warned.
"General, don't worry. If we let these prisoners go, we will eventually cut off our heads to the general." Fu Di said, patting his chest.
Lian Po did not waste any time and immediately led the Xuanjia Army towards the Chu army's camp.
He had just eliminated part of the Chu army, and there was still a part of the Chu army left in the Chu army's camp outside the city. Only when they were all eliminated could the war be considered a victory.
When Lian Po arrived, Yan Xiong was leading the Zhao army to fight with the Chu army.
This part of the Chu army led by Jing Yang is the elite of the entire Chu country, and is used to act as the sword edge and open up the situation.
This part of the Chu army has extremely strong combat effectiveness. Even compared to the Zhao army, except for the equipment, it is not inferior in other aspects.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't exert his full strength in the darkness, Zhao Jun might have been defeated by now.
As for the other Chu troops, to put it bluntly, they just follow the flag-waving and shouting. When the elite legions open up the situation, they rush behind and fight together. It's okay to fight with the wind, but once they encounter the headwind, they can run faster than anyone else.
"Kill!" Yanxiong stood at the front, waving the spurge in an airtight manner. The terrifying power even created a vacuum in the place where the spurge passed. Even Jingyang was unwilling to confront a guy with such natural power.
"Behead one person in the Zhao army, and you will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins. Kill one of the commanders, and you will be rewarded with 50,000 gold coins. Kill the leader of the Zhao army, and you will be rewarded with 5,000 gold coins! You will be promoted to the third level!" Jingyang shouted, extremely anxious in his heart.
At this time, an hour had passed since he received the news that the Chu army was ambushed. If he could not rush to the battlefield, the Chu army might be defeated.
He knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Chu army led by Xiang Pei. Except for Xiang Pei's personal guards, the rest were all young men who had been recently recruited and could fight with the wind. Once they encountered an ambush, especially at night,
There is no fighting ability.
Xiang Pei's personal guards alone could never stop the Zhao army led by Lian Po.
Encouraged by Jingyang, the Chu army's morale soared and they rushed towards the Zhao army regardless of their own safety. Although they couldn't see the enemy clearly in the dark, they just had to charge forward.
Suddenly, the Zhao army's casualties increased greatly. Even Yan Xiong's arm was slashed by someone who didn't know who. Yan Xiong didn't even look at it, and split the Chu army general who was charging towards him in half with one knife.
"Kill!" At this moment, Lian Po led the Xuanjia Army to rush towards the Chu Army from the flank, and the swift attack directly opened a large hole in the Chu Army's flank.
