Volume 10 Chapter 261

Chapter 261

Under the orders of Yue Ze and Li Xin, the An-Huan coalition made an extremely stupid decision to abandon the camp and break out. As a result, they fell into the trap of the Zhen army when they broke out and were surrounded by the 400,000 Zhen army.

To make matters worse, the An-Huan coalition soon saw thick smoke billowing from their camp. Even ten miles away, they could still see the sky was burning red.

There were too many supplies stored in the coalition camp, so many that the Zhen army couldn't rob them all. Gu Anmin was unwilling to leave such a huge amount of supplies to the six-nation coalition, and finally ordered to burn the camp.

The poor baggage of the six-nation coalition was reduced to ashes under the fire of the Zhen army.

The camp caught fire, and the An-Huan coalition had no way to retreat. Surrounded by the Zhen army, the soldiers of the two armies could only fight to the death.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, from day to night, and from night to dawn. The two sides fought with millions of troops, the scale was grand, the scene was tragic, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.

The An-Huan coalition was not as strong as the Zhen army, but that was under normal circumstances. Now the two armies were in a desperate situation and had no other way but to fight to the death. A desperate dog will jump over the wall! One person desperately, three people can't defeat him, not to mention that the An-Huan coalition had more than 300,000 people.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Zhen army were close to 100,000, and the casualties of the An-Huan coalition were as high as 150,000 or 160,000. There was almost no clean space on the battlefield. There were rivers of blood everywhere, and there were countless corpses everywhere, with broken limbs and arms, and broken armor scattered all over the ground.

A war stopped temporarily. The An-Huan coalition, which originally had 400,000 people, now only has half of them left, and there are barely 200,000 soldiers who can fight.

During the fierce battle, Yue Ze and Li Xin did not want to break out, but they really could not break out. The encirclement of the Zhen army was like an iron barrel formation. No matter how fiercely the An-Huan coalition broke out, they were eventually blocked by the Zhen army.

Up to now, Yue Ze and Li Xin have felt desperate. It seems unlikely to expect reinforcements to arrive, and with their own strength, they can't be the opponent of the Zhen army. Now it seems that there is only one way left for the An-Huan coalition.

Yue Ze and Li Xin even thought of surrendering, but their ideas were immediately opposed by their subordinates. The king surrendered, such a great humiliation, how could the An and Huan countries bear it? Not only did the An and Huan countries lose face, but even the Chuan, Feng, Mo, and Yu countries would be ashamed to be with An Huan.

According to the generals of the An and Huan armies, they can only fight to the death now. If they can wait for the arrival of reinforcements, they still have hope of survival. If they can't wait, they can only be loyal to their country and die for the country.

Under the unanimous opposition of all the generals, Yue Ze and Li Xin reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​surrender and insisted on going down.

At this time, the Fengyu coalition forces that came to help had entered Canglin County and heard the news that the Anhuan coalition forces were trapped. However, the Fengyu army did not rush here directly, but divided into multiple routes and took a detour.

Of course, this was also Tang Yin's idea. He did this for two reasons. Dividing troops into multiple routes can break up the whole into parts, which is convenient for hiding one's own tracks. Second, he wanted to implement a counter-encirclement against the Zhen army.

The Zhen army was able to encircle the Anhuan coalition forces. Tang Yin planned to follow the example of the Zhen army and use the other's method to return the other's body. Encircle the Zhen army outside the encirclement of the Zhen army and strive to annihilate this Zhen country central army.

Ling Shuang objected to his decision. His idea was certainly good, but the delay was too long. She was worried that the Anhuan coalition might not be able to hold on for that long.

Tang Yin disagreed. In his opinion, since the An-Huan coalition was able to fight the Zhen army for a day and a night, it showed that they still had some strength. Now that they were in a desperate situation, they would definitely burst out all their potential and could hold on for another two or three days.

In the end, Ling Shuang couldn't beat Tang Yin, so she had to accept his suggestion and take another risk.

No one knew whether the An-Huan coalition could hold on for another two or three days in the battle with the Zhen army, but the Zhen army's attack slowed down.

From Xitang all the way to Canglin County, they first attacked the camp and then fought fiercely. The Zhen army was already extremely exhausted.

Even Gu Anmin saw that the physical strength of his soldiers had reached the limit. If they continued to attack, they would not only fail to annihilate the An-Huan coalition, but also suffer heavy casualties on their side. So he gave up the hasty attack and chose a more stable siege. The An-Huan coalition broke through with light equipment and limited rations. Gu Anmin believed that within three days, the An-Huan coalition would be out of food. Within five days, the combat effectiveness of the An-Huan coalition would be greatly reduced. By then, his side would have had enough mental and physical strength, and it would be easy to attack again.

His estimate was not wrong at all, and he even overestimated the An-Huan coalition's food and grass. On the second night of the truce, the An-Huan coalition ran out of water. By the third day, the 200,000 remaining soldiers had begun to run out of food on a large scale.

For the An-Huan coalition, the lack of water and food at the beginning was not the most fatal. The most fatal thing was that there was no way to clean up the piles of corpses around. For several days, the corpses were exposed to the sun and rotted very quickly, attracting mosquitoes and flies everywhere, and maggots everywhere. Soon, some of the 200,000 remaining soldiers fell ill. At first, there were only a few cases, but then, soldiers began to fall ill in groups, and countless soldiers died of illness due to lack of medicine.

The entire battlefield was filled with stench. Whether it was the An-Huan coalition trapped inside or the Zhen army outside, people usually covered their faces with sweat towels to cover their mouths and noses, but even so, they could not block the disgusting stench floating in the air.

When the Anhuan coalition forces had persisted to the point where they could no longer hold on and everyone was desperately waiting for death, Gu Anmin finally decided to attack with the entire army to give the enemy the most fatal and final blow.

However, before the Zhen Army's offensive could be launched, at the critical moment, behind them, there were rumbling sounds and dust rising high, and a cavalry consisting of tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared and rushed toward the Zhen Army camp.

Gu Anmin was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't know which country's army the sudden enemy came from. In panic, he ordered his general Yang Ying to lead an army of 50,000 to stop the sudden enemy army.

Yang Ying is also a well-known fierce general in the Zhen Kingdom, but this time he was unlucky to encounter Guan Yuan Rang of the Feng Kingdom and Shi Xiao of the Jade Kingdom.

These two men, running side by side, rushed to the front of the cavalry team. When they saw Zhenjun approaching, neither Guan Yuanrang nor Shi Xiao slowed down. The former urged his horse while shouting at the oncoming Yang Ying: "The person who takes your head today is General Feng Guo, Guan Yuan Rang!"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yuanrang was already in front of Yang Ying, and the chaotic wind was released. When Yang Ying heard Guan Yuanrang's name, her heart was filled with confusion. How could she dare to be careless and use her spiritual chaos to resist the opponent's spiritual chaos?

He blocked the spirit chaos wind, but Guan Yuanrang, who was charging forward, had already rushed to his side, and the spirit knife in his hand swept forward sideways.

Yang Ying hurriedly raised her gun to parry. Two sounds of "clang" and "plop" were heard in her ears. Yang Ying's body was slammed down by Guan Yuan Rang's heavy sword.

Before he could stand up, lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and a spiritual spear pierced the sky and shot straight towards Yang Ying's chest. At this time, his eyes were so shocked that his eyesight went black. He could still see the spirit spear that was fired at him. The spear stabbed his chest firmly, and with a bang, the flying spear penetrated Yang Ying's chest. The tip of the spear protruded from his back and penetrated deeply into the ground, pinning him alive.

Guan Yuanrang, who was riding back, took advantage of the situation and cut off Yang Ying's head with his knife.

At this time, Shi Xiao also urged his horse to run over. Without stopping for a moment, he pulled out the spirit gun nailed to the ground as he passed, shook his arms, and rushed into the Zhenjun camp with the gun.

Guan Yuan let Heng Dao laugh twice and followed him into the Zhen Army camp. The two of them split into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right. Then, the cavalry team behind also split into two. The wind cavalry followed Guan Yuanrang, and the jade cavalry followed behind Shi Xiao. , like two sharp knives, forcibly cutting the fifty thousand Zhen army into three pieces.

Even as fierce as the Zhen army, they could not withstand the close charge of the cavalry. The camp of 50,000 people was quickly broken into pieces by the cavalry, and retreated back like a piece of loose sand.

Unexpectedly, the 50,000 soldiers he had just sent out would be defeated by the enemy so quickly, and even General Yang Ying was killed in the battle. Gu Anmin could not catch his breath and almost lost his breath on the spot.

He asked the defeated soldiers who were returning, who were the enemies and how could they be so powerful?

A Zhen general opened his mouth and replied in a trembling voice: "The enemy army is all cavalry, the flag they are flying is Feng Yu Alliance, and the general at the head is Guan Yuan Rang of Feng Kingdom!"

Guan Yuan gives way! As soon as he heard this name, Gu Anmin suddenly felt cold. It was not that he was intimidated by Guan Yuan Rang's reputation, but that since Guan Yuan Rang was here, it meant that the main force of the Fengyu coalition had withdrawn to Canglin County. There is no hope of annihilating the Anhuan coalition forces.

In the critical situation, Gu Anmin had no way to think about it, and urgently ordered the entire army to give up the siege of the Anhuan coalition, and all retreated to the south.

But now it was too late for him to retreat.

At this time, from all directions, drums were beating loudly, and the shouts of killing were loud. Countless flags of the Feng Army and the Jade Army were raised in front, back, left, and right of the Zhen Army. Under the flags were the soldiers of the Feng Yu Alliance Army who could not be seen in the dark. .

The current situation is very interesting. The Zhen army is besieging the Anhuan coalition forces, while the Fengyu coalition forces are besieging the Zhen army. The two sides are surrounded by layers.

However, the sudden appearance of the Fengyu coalition forces was a fatal blow to the morale of the Zhen army. Originally, the Zhen Army had taken the full initiative, and it was only a matter of time before the Anhuan Coalition Army was completely annihilated. But now, the situation took a turn for the worse, turning from full initiative to full passivity. Not only did the Zhen Army have no time to take care of the Anhuan Coalition Army, but they also had to consider what they should do. Break out.
