Under Nanping City, in the middle of the battlefield.
Viscount William finally had a smile on his tired face as he listened to his sergeant's report.
"I finally gave up."
"Go down here and order Lorraine, no, Dampier, let's all go together and cover them up for a while, then rush in and occupy the south screen."
"They can't do a siege. This is a field battle on the plains. If they still can't take down these five thousand defeated troops, don't worry, I will chop off their heads when the time comes."
The next moment, shouts of killing came from the encirclement.
The Han army rushed out from the encirclement like a tide, their spears were like dragons, they were invincible, and all the Qi troops in front of them were invincible, and they were like destroying the dead.
Qi general Han Zhang stumbled to William, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Sir, the Han army is so brave that our army is invincible."
"Please send reinforcements quickly, otherwise the Han army will break the encirclement."
William kicked Han Zhang down and roared angrily.
"Come here, order Luolin to guard it. I will lead the army and break the southern screen."
The guards around him dragged William back.
"Sir, it's too late."
"Our army collapsed"
The Qi army surrounding Nanping City was defeated first, dragging their weapons backwards and running away to both sides.
The Han army led by Su Pingping and Lin Lin rushed up like a tide, slammed into the rear formation of Yingte's army, and dug in.
Viscount William was dragged away by the guards. At his last glance, he saw Lorraine being stabbed by a Han general with a spear, and he was about to die.
It’s over!
William lamented in his heart, stopped struggling, and allowed the guards to drag him away.
It was originally a must-win situation. We were suppressing the Han army. As long as the useless Qi army persisted for another half hour, victory would belong to the coalition forces and the Yingte warriors.
But these losers can't even hold on for a while.
William looked at Han Zhang who had withdrawn with him, a dozen generals and captains.
My vision almost went dark and I fainted.
Damn, I'm not good at fighting, but I'm really good at running away.
"Kill"
"Catch the man in red robe, he must be a high official."
"Brothers, rush forward."
A group of Han soldiers covered in blood rushed over, their spears were like dragons, and they rushed towards them.
"Warriors, take the adults away. I will come to the rear."
The vice-captain of the personal soldiers clenched the sword in his hand, called the names of several guards, and left the rear behind.
William was dragged backwards, his face full of helplessness.
"It's over"
"It's all over!"
After this defeat, most of the British overseas armies will have to answer here. The Duke will not let him go, the royal family will not let him go, and the Minister of War will even take his own life.
Seeing the defeated British warriors, William closed his eyes in pain.
It's just a little bit closer. As long as the Qi army can hold off the remnants of the Han army that have been surrounded for a month, and hold on for a while longer, they will win.
Everything is lost.
I am not done with Qi Jun!
Amidst the shouts of killing, Su Lu put the rice paper in his hand into the backpack on the side of the horse and patted the horse forward.
Lu Zhan pulled the reins: "Commander, please wait a moment and go ahead. We'd better wait until the three governors have swept away the remaining Yingte people before we go to the battlefield."
Su Lu pointed to the front, his tone full of relief: "Look, we have won. One of the Yingte generals escaped and the other was captured. The Qi army even walked away and died. We won."
Ah, man."
Su Lu's voice was full of relief. This battle was really unexpected and difficult.
Basically, Su Lu used all kinds of cards and relied on Qi's army to retreat without a fight, which was considered a victory over the Yingte people. Next time they encounter the Yingte army, the opponent will definitely learn from this lesson.
, when the time comes, it won’t be so easy.
Under the protection of the imperial guards led by the land war commander, Su Lu entered Nanping.
Along the way, there were fallen corpses everywhere, and moans and screams filled the eardrums.
Su Ping's body was covered in blood. He held his waist knife and led the way with unsteady steps.
"Second brother, you came really on time this time. If you come one day later, I really can't hold on."
"The Yingte people still have two brushes. If it weren't for the heavy losses during the siege and the Yingte people being reluctant to use their own soldiers to fill in, I really might not be able to hold on until you come, second brother."
Su Lu nodded: "The Yingte people are very powerful. I was able to win this time only because of luck."
Zhao Wu next to him said carelessly: "Commander Commander, as long as you are here, the Yingte people have been defeated. As long as you are here, luck is on our side."
Roda was wiping the blood stains on his pocket with a piece of white silk when he heard this and gave Zhao Wu a sideways look.
"Hey, if it weren't for your useless kid who couldn't defeat Yingte's infantry team head-on, why would we have fought so hard?"
Su Lu ordered: "Okay, since we won this time, don't mention anything else."
"Commander, the Yingte people were defeated, and the Qi people were also defeated. Let's just take advantage of the victory and pursue it, completely wipe out the remnants of the Yingte and Qi people, and end this war in one fell swoop."
Su Lu shook his head: "You are thinking simply. We will still have battles to fight in the future."
Su Lu said this, walked into the Governor's Mansion, and gave casual instructions.
"The whole army will rest tonight, and tomorrow we will clean the battlefield, send orders to the camp, and send all the food and supplies so that the brothers can have a good meal."
Su Ping chuckled: "Second brother is right, we are already starving."
In the blink of an eye, smoke rose from several places in the city, and the aroma of food filled the entire Nanping City.
The next day, when Su Lu woke up, it was just dawn.
After getting up, washing his face and putting on clothes, Su Lu asked the guard.
"How is the cleaning of the battlefield? How many generals have been here? Well, what is your name? Wang Wu, right? Are you from the same hometown as Wang Si?"
Guard Wang Wu looked nervous: "Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, the younger one is not from the same hometown as Commander Wang. The younger one is from Guangnan. During the last recruitment, he responded to Master Zhou Yuan's call and joined the military camp."
"Qi people and Yingte people are so abominable."
Su Lu nodded, continued to walk out, and asked: "Go and call Lu Zhan, summon all the generals, raise the tent, and discuss matters."
Wang Wu agreed, greeted a few guards, and went out to convey military orders.
Soon, several generals arrived at the temporary Governor's Mansion and saw Su Lu sitting in the main hall and the Marine Guards who were busy hanging defense plans on the wall.
Su Lu asked Roda, who was the first to come in: "Is there any military information from Wang Si and Cao Hua? How are the two armies advancing and retreating?"
Luo Da clasped his fists in front of his chest and said respectfully: "Yesterday's military information has not been transmitted yet, but judging from yesterday's post, General Cao Hua should be able to arrive at Dangshan today, and the Battle of Dangshan should be launched today."
"General Wang Si has made it clear that half of the prefectures and counties along the Qingjiang River have been wiped out. There are less than nine cities left as far as Wanghai. It is only a matter of time before Wanghai is captured."
Su Lu nodded. In this case, if the three groups advance together, they should be able to reach the north bank of the Luo River within a month.
Zhao Wu handed over the army report: "Commander Commander, these are the seizures after cleaning the battlefield. This time our army has seized 500,000 dan of military supplies and captured 30,000 Qi troops. We have no calculation for our troops."
Su Lu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there no Yingtes among the prisoners?"
Su Ping interjected: "Second brother, there will be no Yingte people. The Yingte people are very deadly. If Paoze is alive and captured, they will risk their lives to come back to save him. If he dies, he will be captured."
Abandon it at will."
"Report"
A guard entered the main hall, holding a military affairs brochure in his hand and presenting it.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, envoys from the Qi people have arrived. This is the letter of credence they presented. According to the envoys, if our army is willing to give up attacking Qi, they are willing to give up the territory north of the Luo River as compensation."
Su Lu was stunned when he heard this. I am still hundreds of miles away from Luojiang. If I just win one battle, the Qi people will march across the river with me to rule.
