At the border of Loucheng, before the soldiers of the two countries faced each other, there were nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Gaoqiu Kingdom and 13,000 soldiers from the Anyu Kingdom. The disparity in the strength of the two sides was very obvious.
The battle has been going on for four days, and the scene on the battlefield is very tragic, and the air is filled with the smell of blood.
"General, it's true that Prince Ji, no matter how hard you hold on, the whole army will be blamed here. Why don't you know that victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers, so why don't you retreat to conserve your troops and wait until the time is right to fight again?
If the city is lost, we can just take it back later." In the forest, Lieutenant General Zhang Cheng said anxiously.
Xiao An frowned when he heard this: "With Gaoqiu Kingdom's momentum, once it invades Anyu Kingdom, it will definitely not give the opponent a chance to breathe, and will take advantage of the momentum to attack all the way to the capital.
Therefore, in this battle with King Ji, he can only fight and cannot retreat."
…
At this moment, on the side of Anyu's military formation, Prince Ji He Zexu, who had just ordered to behead his deputy general who had persuaded him to retreat, was looking at the enemy troops on the opposite side on horseback.
Sanniang, maybe my husband will go to meet you now!
"Send the order, beat the drum to kill the enemy." He Zexu gave the order, and the enemies were killed with a deafening sound.
All soldiers know that this battle may be the last battle in their lives.
After fighting one after another, my heart became numb and I couldn't feel fear at all.
In an instant, the sound of war drums and horns sounded, and the dust kicked up by the advance of tens of thousands of soldiers flew into the sky.
They were getting closer and closer to the enemy, close enough to see clearly the proud and arrogant expressions on their faces that were determined to win.
At this moment, the soldiers on both sides noticed the rolling yellow sand rising not far from the side.
Is this? People on both sides were very surprised, not sure what suddenly appeared?
In an instant, both sides couldn't care less about figuring out what was going on, and were fighting in the same place.
The soldiers on Anyuguo's side didn't feel any despair. The worst they could do was just die in battle.
The team of soldiers and horses coming from the side, like a tiger descending from the mountain, rushed into the Gaoqiu Kingdom's military formation, seemingly without any order. The soldiers of the Gaoqiu Kingdom were unprepared and were suddenly attacked by this attack.
The child was thrown into confusion and immediately became confused.
No wonder King Ji never retreated his troops. It turned out that he had already made arrangements!
At this time, Anyuguo's generals, who had a fight to the death mentality, soon discovered anomalies in the enemy's camp. After reacting, they were overjoyed. It turned out that they were not the enemy's troops!
I didn't bother to think about where the reinforcements came from. Anyway, I felt that there was hope of victory again, and my morale suddenly became much stronger.
The situation suddenly changed. The party that was originally in control of the victory was disrupted by the sudden appearance of a third party and began to retreat.
King Ji did not order to withdraw his troops, but took advantage of the victory to pursue him. At the same time, he shouted to his own people not to accidentally injure friendly troops.
This was a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
In half an hour, the battle was over. Of course, all the enemy troops could not be wiped out, but they could no longer pursue them, so that was almost it.
The troop call was blown here, and the friendly troops also stopped.
He Zexu rode up to a young general in silver armor and stopped: "I wonder who this general is?" The opponent's armor was not a soldier of Anyu Kingdom.
Moreover, when He Zexu got closer, he realized that this brave young man was really very young.
"This is our An Xiao, General An." Zhang Cheng responded on behalf of General An.
"I am He Zexu of Anyu State. Thank you General An for your help." In order to show respect, He Zexu got off his horse and formally greeted with fists in his hands.
Although the other party is young, he is a benefactor who helps.
Seeing him dismounting, Xiao An also came to his senses and dismounted: "It turns out to be the famous Prince Ji of Anyu Kingdom. I have heard about it for a long time. Today I can see Prince Ji killing the enemy with my own eyes. I am honored to meet him."
Leng Wuwu, who was standing next to him, looked at the polite exchanges between the two people with similar eyebrows with a straight face. He suddenly wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it with difficulty.
"General An, you've had a hard time fighting. If you don't mind, why don't you come and sit down at our Anyuguo camp?" He Zexu didn't know what was going on with him, but he felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness to this young general whom he met for the first time.
.
He felt that this should be the reason why the other party came to help.
Xiao An didn't expect that the other party would invite him to sit in the camp, so he looked at Master Leng Wuyi.
As a result, the master turned away and had no intention of giving any advice at all.
"Prince Ji, aren't you afraid that by inviting me into the camp, you are inviting a wolf into the house?" Xiao An asked with a smile.
No matter what, this person doesn't look down on his young age. Well, for this reason, this person is not bad.
Leng Youyou was not surprised at all by Xiao An's reaction.
Xin said, you still remind people like this?
Compared with a baby general like you, King Ji can be regarded as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Why are you still afraid that your hair is not fully grown?
He Zexu smiled after hearing these words: "Little brother, if you really have other plans, you don't have to go to so much trouble before. When my troops are killing the enemy, you can just go directly to our camp."
When Xiao An heard the other party calling him little brother, he frowned slightly: "Then since Prince Ji invites you, I'll go sit down and have a rest."
"Then please mount your horse." He Zexu made a gesture of invitation.
They each mounted their horses and galloped back.
The soldiers of Anyu State stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded soldiers, and collect the bodies of the dead soldiers and generals.
"You are so brave, don't you know how unpredictable people are?" Leng Wuyi rode up to Xiao An and warned in a low voice.
Xiao An disagreed: "What's there to be afraid of? If he tries to trick me, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life."
Leng Wuyi chuckled in his heart, if that's the case, no matter what you do to him, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
The soldiers riding beside He Zexu in front frequently looked back: "Your Majesty, who are they? You can't tell by looking at their armor, and they don't have a flag."
"They are definitely not from the Mingli Kingdom. They are just adding insult to injury and will not send troops to help us at all."
"It's not from the Mingli Kingdom. Could it be from the Ancient Yan Kingdom? That's even more impossible. Their own country is in trouble and they can't take care of it. How can they come to help us?"
Several followers whispered to you and him, and they were very curious about the origin of these reinforcements. There were thousands of troops!
Moreover, these thousands of soldiers and horses are well-trained.
"Okay, stop being so sneaky and muttering, let others see what you look like." He Zexu scolded in a low voice.
Speaking of curiosity, he himself is not the same.
The soldiers on Xiao An's side were actually murmuring in their hearts, what did General Xiao An and Mrs. Gu think? Why did they come to help King Ji fight?
This King Ji is the son of the Emperor of Anyu State. Could it be said that by helping them, the Emperor of Anyu State will not issue an order to recover the three cities of Xuzhou in the future?
Soon, we arrived at the military camp in Loucheng...
