Wu Lu led his own soldiers to gather up the defeated soldiers and galloped through the camp. His inspiring actions immediately cheered up the wolf soldiers.
These wolf soldiers were trained in the difficult environment in the mountains. They were just killed by the Annan people by surprise, but now they saw their general fighting bravely, so they all became bloody.
Once these wolf soldiers become ruthless, it is really scary. The Vietnamese are already weaker than these wolf soldiers in terms of weapons and armor, and coupled with the fact that they are not as bloody as them, the advantage they had just lost in this fight.
Ding Xiaochun was helpless when he saw this situation. Compared with the small countries in the south, their soldiers from Annan were indeed brave, but when they came to the Central Plains elites, their weaknesses were immediately revealed.
During this battle, these soldiers were unable to hold on any longer. In order to win this sneak attack, Ding Xiaochun had to urge his horse forward in person, hoping to fight the enemy's general in a decisive battle.
The generals of both sides were looking for each other in the camp. After a while, Wu Lu discovered that the Annan army in front was completely different from the ones he had just encountered.
Everyone in the detachment wore iron armor and fought very bravely. Many wolf soldiers died in their hands.
Wu Lu knew at a glance that this was the personal guard of an important person on the other side, so he immediately surrounded him with his own soldiers and thousands of people under his command.
Although the personal guards led by Ding Xiaochun were powerful, they were surrounded by dozens of people and horses and could not use them.
Ding Xiaochun was even more in a dilemma. He originally wanted to sneak attack the enemy camp and then win a complete victory. He did not expect that the opponent's troops were so bloody. Although they were attacked by surprise, they still fought hard. He had 10,000 troops, but the opponent had two or three.
With thousands of people, it was natural that our side would suffer in this matchup.
Now that Ding Xiaochun saw that the opponent's general had surrounded him, he gritted his teeth, stared at Wu Lu, and rushed over without holding on to the hope of survival.
If it were just now, Wu Lu might have fought to the death with Ding Xiaochun, but now that he has an absolute advantage, wouldn't it be stupid to fight him to the death?
So Wu Lu ordered the soldiers around him to fire thousands of arrows.
When Ding Xiaochun's soldiers saw this situation, they also tried their best to draw arrows for Ding Xiaochun, and gathered around him to serve as a human shield for him.
Ding Xiaochun's eyes turned red when he saw the soldiers who had followed him in the north and south being killed by bows and arrows. While he was shooting arrows, he charged forward desperately, trying to carve out a bloody path.
But after all, Ding Xiaochun was older and no longer as good as those young men. After fighting for a while, he felt a little weak in physical strength.
Ding Xiaochun was in great trouble this time. Wu Lu had been eyeing him for a long time. When he saw that he was in a daze, he immediately saw the opportunity and drew his bow and arrow, aiming at Ding Xiaochun with a cold arrow.
Ding Xiaochun was still in a daze, and he was hit in the head by an arrow without even realizing it. As a result, he died under the horse without even shouting.
When Ding Xiaochun's soldiers saw this situation, every one of them became red-eyed. Now they no longer care about defense or not. They are using all their desperate moves. One blow and one blow. They don't seek to protect themselves, they only seek to protect themselves.
Kill the enemy.
But after all, they were outnumbered, and in no time, all of Ding Xiaochun's soldiers were killed.
Wu Lu saw that the opponent's general had been killed, so he ordered his soldiers to cut off Ding Xiaochun's head, and then ordered people to hang it on a high pole.
Then he led his men and horses around the camp. When the Annan soldiers saw that their general had been killed, they lost their morale and began to run away. But where can they escape now? These wolf soldiers
He was already fighting hard, but now that he saw that the opponent's general was dead, he let go even more.
One had great morale, and the other had no fighting spirit. It didn't take much longer than that. These Annan soldiers were either killed or captured.
At this moment, a man suddenly broke into the Annan camp. He saw this man wearing a silver helmet and holding a broadsword. As soon as he saw him, Wu Lu was startled. He thought it was Xiao Yue.
Seeing the young general slashing left and right with his broadsword, he dispersed all the wolf soldiers blocking him.
Seeing how powerful this young general was, Wu Lu hurriedly ordered the archers to release arrows. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired. The young general was also very powerful. He waved the big sword in his hand, protecting his body with his upper body and his horse with lower body. All the bows and arrows were struck by the arrows.
He blocked it.
Wu Lu frowned as he watched from behind the formation. He never thought that there would be such a brave young general in Annan Kingdom.
The young general fended off waves of bows and arrows, and was about to approach Wu Lu's formation.
Wu Lu saw how powerful this young general was, but he actually felt a little scared. If he had to go up and fight with this young general, he would really feel a little nervous.
So he was unable to order his wolf soldiers, with the spearmen in front and the crossbowmen in the back, trying to stop the young general again.
Unexpectedly, after the young general approached the formation, he waved his sword like lightning, looking at those who blocked it. The young general's target was very clear, that is Wu Lu's central army.
Wu Lu knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he had no choice but to urge his horse forward and shoot the gun in his hand, heading straight for the young general.
The two men met each other and without saying a word, they fought with swords and guns.
After only four or five rounds of fighting, Wu Lu felt that his eyes were blinded by the opponent's sword, and he was a little unable to resist.
When Wu Lu's soldiers next to him saw that he was in danger, they swarmed up and surrounded the young general and began to attack, trying to distract the young general and allow Wu Lu to escape.
This move really worked. The young general was about to kill Wu Lu, but countless weapons arrived from all directions. He had no choice but to slow down his attack on Wu Lv and divert his attention to attacks from all directions.
This gave Wu Lu a chance to breathe, so he was helpless and unwilling to fight. He used his spear to drive away the opponent's long knife, jumped out of the circle and returned to his own formation. He was immediately protected by countless wolf soldiers.
When the young general saw the situation, he knew that he could not kill Wu Lu today, so he could only give him a fierce look, then waved his sword and rushed out of the camp.
Wu Lu saw that the young general was about to leave, so he urged his horse to take a few steps forward, and then shouted: "Who is the young general opposite, please leave your name?"
After hearing this, the young general turned around and shouted to Wu Lu: "I came to Annan Kingdom, the son of the Taiwei, Ding Hao. I will avenge my father if we meet again."
After the young general finished speaking, he rushed out of the camp brandishing his sword and disappeared into the jungle.
Waiting until the next morning, the battle was over. Wu Lu counted the losses in this battle, which shocked him. In the battle last night, his 20,000 wolf soldiers lost more than 5,000.
You must know that Guangxi's wolf soldiers are famous all over the world for their bravery and bravery. They have never lost 5,000 people in a single battle.
Now Wu Lu also regrets in his heart that he suffered this defeat due to his carelessness.
But at this point, there was no other way, so Wu Lu became cautious from then on, sending out probing horses in front and on the left and right on this road, fearing any slight losses.
Besides, now on the border, in King Annan's camp, Ruan Zhengyu can't sleep day and night. The food and grass supply is about to run out, and the Ding Xiaochun he sent has not heard back yet, which makes him even more worried.
In order to be able to hold on for a while longer and give Ding Xiaochun time to open up the food channel, Ruan Zhengyu ordered all the soldiers under his command to reduce their food supplies by half. In order to suppress the complaints of these soldiers, he would come to the middle of these soldiers every time he ate and eat with them.
Although this is the case, the food and grass still cannot last for seven or eight days.
On this day, Ruan Zhengyu was in the camp, looking at the map and thinking about how to defeat the enemy, when suddenly he heard a noise in the camp.
As soon as Ruan Zhengyu heard these sounds, his heart trembled. As a battle-hardened king, he knew very well that this was a precursor to Xiaoying.
So Ruan Zhengyu dropped the paintbrush in his hand and walked outside the tent in three steps and two steps at a time.
As soon as Ruan Zhengyu arrived outside the big city, he saw his own soldiers. They were already in full formation, and the tent was surrounded by water. Looking at the shadows of people moving outside, all the soldiers under his command were now in disarray.
Ruan Zhengyu was very angry and asked the soldiers next to him: "What's going on? It was fine just now, why is it such a mess now?"
The captain of the soldiers under Ruan Zhengyu hurriedly came over to report, "Your Majesty, I don't know the specific situation. I just saw that there was chaos in the camp, so I hurriedly led all the soldiers to protect the king."
When Ruan Zhengyu heard this reply, he immediately became furious, "Ignorant slave, why don't you send someone to find out what happened?"
The captain of the personal soldiers could only go down with a red face and send his men around to investigate.
At this moment, the camp suddenly remembered the sound of bugles, and then saw cavalry coming out in all directions. After a while, the camp became quiet.
Ruan Zhengyu could only breathe a sigh of relief now. Finally, it did not develop into the worst place. If it was really Xiaoying, he would probably die here this time.
In a short time, Prime Minister Li Guangqing led civil and military officials from all over the country to Ruan Zhengyu's Chinese army tent.
Ruan Zhengyu sat in the middle with a dark face and asked the people below: "What is going on? Why did it suddenly become a mess?"
At this time, the civil and military officials below looked at me and looked at you, but you didn't dare to answer, so they all looked at Li Guangqing, who was the prime minister.
When Li Guangqing saw that everyone was focusing on him, he had no choice but to come out and reply: "Your Majesty, Ding Hao, the son of Taiwei Ding Xiaochun, came back with his defeated troops just now. All the soldiers in the camp got the news, so
That’s when the turmoil broke out.”
Ruan Zhengyu was frightened when he heard this, so he asked cautiously: "Captain Ding Xiaochun, could it be that you have been defeated?"
"Back to the king, I learned from Ding Hao that Ding Xiaochun had been killed and his entire army of 10,000 men was annihilated, while the other party's tens of thousands of men were blocking the road leading to the camp, and all the food and grass were robbed by them."
When Ruan Zhengyu heard this, he felt like he was struck by thunder. He didn't expect that things would develop for the worst.
Since Ruan Zhengyu succeeded to the throne of the king, he has never lost a battle in the south and north. This time, he was in a dilemma.
But after all, he had been the king for so many years, and he still had a certain amount of magnanimity. He immediately calmed down the panic in his heart, then pulled himself together and asked the people below: "Everyone, now that this has happened, what can you do?
