The capital was severely injured and fell on the tower, as if it were a mangy dog that had been stabbed. Seeing this scene, many officers and soldiers of the Chu State were frightened and hurriedly rushed over to attack the enemy commander. Only a roar could be heard in the air.
, more than a dozen icicles flashed over with cold light, as fast as lightning, and the officers and soldiers rushing forward were stabbed in the body by the icicles, and fell down screaming.
As the sword turned over, another sharp edge streaked across the sky, chasing souls and souls. Several Chu soldiers were cut in half. The commander-in-chief, Liu Yanming, could not escape the bad luck. Half of his body was split diagonally and he died.
After killing the commander of the Chu army, Qiu Yu flew over and landed in the crowd. He moved back and forth, waving his sword like a trapped beast out of a cage and started killing. Wherever the sword light went, the officers and soldiers of Chu State were killed.
, all of them were scared to death.
At the same time, golden light shone in the sky again, but it was the Dragon Turtle carrying death squads over again. This behemoth spit out beams of light and attacked like a laser cannon. A loud bang was heard, and the Chu army howled incessantly.
As the Golden Dragon Turtle swooped down, the death squads jumped down one by one, roaring loudly and entering the battle. As a result, the city tower fell into a melee. The defense system was full of loopholes. More and more Yan soldiers jumped from the ladder.
Climbing up, he fought fiercely with the Chu army, and the battle between the two sides became more intense.
As a result, the confidence of the officers and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom increased even more. Huo Mingsheng, the commander-in-chief, who was waiting and watching, looked at the top of the city tower, excitement flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but praise: "What a fierce general!"
As the commander-in-chief waved his hands and issued orders, many officers and soldiers of Yan State rushed forward with shouts, like a raging tide, launching the final general attack, which was inevitable.
Half an hour later, the supposedly impregnable Yalu City was finally captured. The city gates were opened, and thousands of Yan State officers and soldiers entered and continued to fight against the city defenders.
The battle lasted for a long time, and it was not settled until midnight. Most of the Chu army was killed, and more than 2,000 officers and soldiers surrendered. The city of Yalu was finally recovered.
After this battle, the commander-in-chief Huo Mingsheng was really impressed by this young subordinate, and he paid more and more attention to it. The next day, the Yan army also defeated the main force of the Chu army and arrived near Yalu City. They gathered their troops and continued to advance, vowing to regain all the lost ground.
And Qiu Yu also became famous in one battle. Both he and his immediate boss Huo Mingsheng were personally commended by the commander. He was famous in the Southern Route Army for killing two Chu army commanders in one day. Almost everyone knew about it. The three thousand cavalry he led were also famous.
Loud noise.
In the past, Chu's army continuously conquered Yan's cities and occupied large areas of land. The reason was that the Yan's West Route Army was passive and ineffective in fighting. Now the more powerful South Route Army has arrived at the front line. The officers and soldiers fought bravely, while the Chu army was stretched due to the battle line.
Being too long also highlighted its weaknesses, causing the two sides to lose more than they won in the battle. The South Route Army continued to advance, while the Chu Army retreated one after another and lost a lot of territory.
In comparison, the West Route Army led by Pan Yanzhao was much less powerful. Because of the fierce offensive of the South Route Army, the large Chu army had no time to attack them. They barely managed to hold on to the previous area without making any progress.
Qiu Yu, who was in the middle of the war, spent his free time pondering the Yantian Art of War given by Aolin. He practiced hard at night and lived a tense and busy life. It was like licking blood on the tip of a knife.
In the next month, the commander-in-chief Huo Mingsheng led his troops to defeat the enemy several times, and good news came frequently. Among them, the cavalry team led by Qiu Yu played a vital role, and he seemed to become the opponent's confidant, constantly fighting for the enemy.
He made suggestions and achieved very good results, which made his immediate superiors rely heavily on him.
As the Yan army continued to regain lost territory, the people who had been oppressed by the enemy finally saw the light of day and hated the Chu army. Those young and strong men rushed to join the army to prepare for revenge, especially those under Huo Mingsheng.
Because of its reputation, many young men flocked to join.
As for the cavalry team controlled by Qiu Yu, it has become the most wanted to join by the new recruits. The number of members soon doubled to more than 6,000 people, and there is a trend of gradually expanding.
The Southern Route Army achieved remarkable results, and the good news reached the imperial court one after another. King Longyan of Yan was so pleased that he naturally wanted to commend the soldiers who had repeatedly made military exploits, and once again appointed the old hero Ao Lin as the imperial envoy to arrive at the front line in person to deliver the message.
With the experience of being intercepted by the Chu army last time, Aolin deliberately acted cautiously this time and only brought Li Shenjiang and another powerful soul-melting man with him, driving the flying magic weapon Qingyun Diao over, very secretly.
That night, Ao Lin and others arrived at the Yan Army camp. Li Xingye, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army who had received the message long ago, led his officers and soldiers to greet him in person, and welcomed the old heroes in armor into the Chinese army's tent.
There were many generals gathered in the tent. Ao Lin saw Qiu Yu in the crowd at a glance. He could be considered his student. A look of relief flashed in the old man's eyes. Then he took out the imperial decree and read out: "The imperial decree has arrived...
…”
Many soldiers, including Li Xingye, hurriedly knelt on the ground to receive the order. They only listened to the imperial envoy read out and commended a group of generals of the Southern Route Army. Among them, the commander-in-chief Li Xingye was awarded the title of Marquis of Wei, the former commander-in-chief of the capital who had made great contributions.
Huo Mingsheng was promoted to the rank of third-rank general, Qiu Yu, who had outstanding achievements, was promoted to the rank of fourth-rank commander, Ouyang Lun and Zhong Mingzhu were awarded the rank of fifth-rank commander, and the others also received awards.
The soldiers showed joy on their faces and said in unison: "Thank you Lord for your kindness." Li Xingye raised his hands to receive the imperial edict, and everyone stood up.
The atmosphere in the tent was pleasant. Ao Lin also congratulated the generals. He especially looked at Qiu Yu with admiring eyes and said with a smile: "You are really good at it. You have made many military exploits one after another and killed two people from the Chu army."
, now that you have become the governor, the burden on your shoulders is even heavier, so don’t let me down."
Qiu Yu responded with a smile, "Disciples will definitely follow the teacher's teachings."
Ao Lin nodded happily, "That's good. The future of the Yan Kingdom depends on you guys."
A group of generals were even more surprised. They didn't expect that there was still a teacher-student friendship between them, and they couldn't help but envy them. You must know that the old hero is the number one person in the Yan Dynasty. It is an incomparable honor to have such a teacher.
Li Xingye wanted to hold a banquet to welcome the imperial envoy, but the old hero politely declined, saying that there was no need to be too courteous in extraordinary times and that he could eat the same food as the soldiers, which made the soldiers respect him.
In this case, Li Xingye had no choice but to act as ordered, and the generals had dinner in the Chinese army's tent. They only had pancakes and meat and vegetable soup. No wine was served, and the food was extremely simple.
Later, Li Xingye reported the current situation and the Southern Route Army's next battle plan to the Imperial Envoy, and Ao Lin nodded frequently in agreement.
