Chapter 704: Decisive Battle (Part 3)

"General, the enemy is coming from our flank again."

"Pass my order, order the shield soldiers to surround the four sides, the archers to shoot, the cavalry to dismount, and the infantry to hold up their spears!"

"Yes!"

After Yun Rang gave the order, his expression was also a bit solemn. He didn't expect that the Dali had the courage to set an ambush for them. Although many soldiers were killed and injured due to being caught off guard, the combat power of the Yan Army was definitely not comparable to that of the Li Army!

What's more, the Yan Army's advantage in manpower was also huge.

"Report!"

"General, our rear army is about to be unstoppable!"

"The Li Army has cut off our rear army, and General Yuntu has also been surrounded by the Li Army."

"What!"

Yun Rang finally couldn't sit still. According to his inference, their 300,000 main forces could quickly stabilize their position even if they faced the ambush of the Dali Army.

But he didn't expect that the offensive of the Li Army was so swift!

"Order, cavalry, open the way to the north!"

"Tear open a gap, the central army rushes out, and order Yun Ming to lead his troops to approach Yun Tu's army!"

"Yes!"

As Yun Xi's nephew, Yun Rang is known as the leader of the three generations of the Yun family. His military tactics are the best of all the forces in Dayan, and he has the style of a famous general!

Now, even in the face of a crisis, he can still stand firm.

Time passed slowly, and the soldiers in armor from the two countries also disappeared with it.

The vast majority of them did not even leave their names in this world, and they were drowned in the long river of history one after another. This is the era and the world.

The weak do not even have the qualifications for compassion, while the strong call compassion, womanly kindness!

"Kill!"

"Brothers, fight out, no one can stop us from going home!"

"Men of Dayan, fight to the death!"

"Charge!"

An old Yan army general held a broadsword and rushed towards the army in front of him. The Li army was also bloodthirsty at this moment. Facing this group of ferocious Dayan soldiers, they were also fearless.

"Puff!"

A sharp muffled sound, four or five spear tips accurately pierced into the chest of the old general, and blood immediately flowed from the corners of his mouth. The old general smiled and said grimly: "You bastards, watch me, this is not how you play on the battlefield."

"Die!"

After saying that, he shouted, and his body suddenly thrust forward. The long spear on his chest was sunk three points again, but this three-point distance was just enough to keep him away from several Li soldiers.

Swish!

Several blood marks appeared on the necks of several Li soldiers almost one after another. An old soldier took away five young and strong men of the Li army!

Such scenes are just the most common on the battlefield!

"Report!"

"General, the main force of the Yan army is found, only 20 miles away from us!"

"What!"

The three generals of Dali who were commanding all changed their faces and said in a deep voice: "Shouldn't Yunxi's main force be outside Liyang City at this moment?"

"Damn it!"

"Such a good opportunity, are we going to let the fish in the net go again?"

"It is God's will, the fate of Dayan is not over yet!"

A series of sighs and regrets sounded, and the old general in the lead also looked depressed, and said softly: "Order, the army withdraws the saddle, open a gap, and let the Yan army go north!"

"Yes!"

...

"Go!"

"Go!"

When Gu Yun led his army to Liyang City, it was already late at night. There were corpses everywhere outside the city, and dragon flags were flying on the tower. After the city gate was opened, Ning Fan rode out in a white gown.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the west. Just by listening to the momentum, there were at least tens of thousands of troops!

"Zhang Han's troops have also arrived!"

"What a pity..."

Ning Fan's eyes showed a trace of regret. Now even if he had a dynamic military sandbox in his hand, it was a little difficult to continue. If he fought against ordinary barbarians, he might be able to win.

But against Yunxi, a famous general of the time, it seemed a little powerless.

"General!"

"Xi General!"

Seeing Xi Xiongtu galloping out of the city, Gu Yun and other generals saluted!

"Lord Shen, what is the current movement of the Yan army?"

"Yun Rang and Yun Tu's 300,000 troops have already headed north, and Yun Xi's army is about to contact our three-city coalition."

Xi Xiongtu's eyes showed a stern look, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu Yun, Zhang Han, gather all the cavalry and pursue overnight!"

"Now that the Yan army has run out of food and grass, and is a tired army, you only need to lead the army to charge and kill slowly, and you will be able to achieve success!"

"Yes!"

The two saluted respectfully. Gu Yun had 50,000 cavalry among his 100,000 troops, while Zhang Han had only 10,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 cavalry in Liyang City, barely putting together 70,000 cavalry!

"In this battle, Zhang Han will be the commander!"

"Go!"

...

Northern border.

Chaozhou.

As a fortress in the northwest of Dali, this place had a very developed economy and trade in the early years due to its special geographical location.

But since Dayan's troops pointed to Dali, it has become a city of chaos. Whenever there is a war, there will be trouble in the city.

"General!"

"What should we do?"

After Yun Rang and Yun Xi's main forces joined forces, only 500,000 of the 700,000-man army remained, and the most fatal thing was that the food and grass had been cut off.

The soldiers had been hungry for half a night, but the news of the depletion of food and grass had not yet spread on a large scale.

"Has there been any news from the court?"

"No!"

Yun Ming shook his head in disappointment and said softly: "Our news may not be able to reach the court."

"Commander, I have no doubt that our army has sophisticated operations and holds great power."

"From the first battle on the banks of the Li River, our army fell into a passive position. Every move we made seemed to be under the enemy's nose."

"Unless this person is eliminated, our army will never be able to succeed!"

Hearing Yun Ming's words, Yun Xi's eyes also shone with a sharp light, and he said softly: "This commander has already noticed this, but... I ordered people to secretly monitor the generals in the army, but nothing unusual was found."

"It's really weird!"

"Um?"

"Report——"

"Commander, the Li army has a cavalry and they are chasing us."

"How many soldiers and horses are coming?"

"I don't know..."

Yun Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Yun Ming, Yun Tu, you two continue to lead the army north and withdraw in the direction of Jianning. I have left some food and grass there, which is enough. Support the imperial court for help!”

"Commander, what about you?"

"Leave me 100,000 troops and continue to deal with the Li army!"

"this……"

Both of them showed a hint of hesitation, but Yun Xi said with a solemn expression: "Act as ordered. Now that our army's southern expedition has been frustrated, the top priority is to preserve our strength so that we can make a comeback soon."

"do you understand?"

"promise!"

The two of them bowed respectfully, and Yun Xi turned around on his horse. His eyes looked past the numerous figures, and the sound of galloping horse hooves gradually sounded in his ears.

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Turn the horse's head and fight with me!"
