Chapter 747: A Strange Ending
The Lequan army began to advance, while the Pingzhou army stood by.
Shang Ji is now playing the role of being forced to fight at night, and he can't be too active, if the roaring leader rushes forward now, it doesn't match the logic, it's hard to say whether he will scare Kuang Zhang back.
Therefore, Shang Ji could only order the whole army to stand by and make a cautious appearance, and by the way attract the enemy army to leave the city farther away.
"Woo woo~~~~"
As the sound of the horn became more and more urgent, the distance between the Lequan Army and the Pingzhou Army became closer and closer, and finally, the Lequan Army began to charge!
The first to be dispatched were the crossbowmen of the Lequan army, and the feather arrows rained down on the Pingzhou army.
The giant shield soldiers at the front immediately connected with iron shields, forming a shield wall, and most of the arrows rained down.
And almost at the same time as the Lequan army attacked, the bow troops of the Pingzhou army also began to counterattack. In fact, the Lequan army had already entered the range of the Pingzhou crossbowmen, and even Huang Zhong's sun-shooting warriors did not dare to compete with Xingyao's strong bow at night, let alone the archer troops of Lequan City.
It's just that for the same reason before, Shang Ji was afraid of scaring Kuang Zhang, so he specially ordered that only after the Lequan Army attacked, he could counterattack.
However, even so, the side of Lequan City immediately fell into decline, the arrows of the Xingyao strong bow could easily shoot through the heavy armor of the Lequan army, but the crossbowmen of the Lequan army were helpless against the giant shield of the giant shield soldiers.
For a time, the Pingzhou army achieved remarkable results, but the Lequan army had few results.
In this regard, Kuang Zhang expressed calmness. The confrontation with the Pingzhou Army these days has made him realize the sharpness of the Pingzhou Army, even if Lequan City has several times the strength advantage in conventional combat, he is still not sure to take the Pingzhou Army, otherwise he would not use the Phantom Guard.
With the waving of several flags, the Lequan Army began a new move. The three phalanxes approached in a semi-encircled manner against the rain of arrows, and the middle phalanx was personally commanded by Kuang Zhang, facing off against the central army of the Pingzhou Army.
Kuang Zhang knew very well that it was not a big deal to defeat the Pingzhou army in a position, so his thinking was very clear, create a high-intensity battle as quickly as possible, and then launch a phantom guard at a critical moment to launch a fatal blow!
The infantry began to charge, and the cavalry on both flanks of the phalanx also began to circle from the flanks, trying to break through from the flanks.
On the whole, although the Lequan Army had a high superiority in strength, it was a big gap in the quality of the army, and it was defeated and retreated by the Pingzhou Army.
Kuang Zhang was not in a hurry, but looked calm and relaxed. This was expected, and he would feel strange if he couldn't get an advantage in a head-on duel with the Pingzhou army.
"Pass the order, send more troops, and make sure that all the enemy troops are mobilized!"
After observing the battlefield for a while, Kuang Zhang continued to order. Only when all armies are put into the battlefield can the Phantom Guard play a greater role.
A few more flags were waved, more Lequan troops were thrown into the battlefield, and the sound of fighting was everywhere under the night. Because of the restrictions of the night, a small number of troops were already in chaos at this time, but they were not very conspicuous in the general environment.
After fighting for more than half an hour, Kuang Zhang took a look at the battle situation, and felt that if he didn't launch the Phantom Guard Lequan City, there was a danger that the whole army would collapse, so he immediately stopped hesitating, and clapped his hands with a solemn expression.
A military general who had been guarding Kuang Zhang's side immediately understood, and commanded his soldiers to burst into the sky with a huge firework. The fireworks are so striking in the night sky that you can't even notice them!
The fireworks were ignited, and almost instantly, there was a large-scale chaos in the Pingzhou army, and the rhythm of the original victory suddenly stopped. Soon, the scope of the chaos became wider and wider, and the Pingzhou army at the forefront began to retreat.
Vaguely, you can even see that there is still a fire burning in the rear of the Pingzhou Army, Kuang Zhang saw this, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, the phantom guard finally lived up to expectations, and successfully caused chaos within the Pingzhou Army.
"Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and the enemy army will be defeated in one fell swoop!"
Cleaning up his mood, Kuang Zhang pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted.
"Kill!"
The morale of the Lequan army immediately skyrocketed, and a full-scale attack was launched against the Pingzhou army. On the other hand, the Pingzhou Army changed its invincible heroic posture just now, and began to retreat step by step, and there were still a lot of armor and weapons abandoned on the way to retreat, a typical state of losing armor and abandoning armor!
Immediately afterwards, the Pingzhou army was defeated!
Kuang Zhang waved his fist excitedly, this person is shrewd, but he is easy to get carried away. In history, it took him fifty days to destroy the Yan Kingdom, and then he began to let himself go. As a result, he was driven out by the rebels of Yan State, and although it caused Yan State to continue to weaken for decades, Yan State finally succeeded in surviving.
Kuang Zhang in the beacon fire also inherited this shortcoming, and seeing that the Pingzhou army began to rout on a large scale, Kuang Zhang did not suspect fraud at all. The main thing is that he is too confident and trusts the Phantom Guard's abilities too much.
Deeply afraid that the Pingzhou army would retreat safely, Kuang Zhang immediately commanded the army to cover up and kill, and even the large camp abandoned by the Pingzhou army did not have time to occupy it. For Kuang Zhang, the vital force that kills the Pingzhou army is the heaviest, and it is not too late to pack up some belongings after this battle.
"Kill, kill!"
Kuang Zhang brandished his sword and personally led the 50,000 most elite Lequan Army to chase down the enemy.
The battle situation was gratifying, and the flags, armor, weapons, and so on discarded by the Pingzhou army were all along the way. It seems that the Pingzhou Army is really poor in donkey skills.
However, if Kuang Zhang could calm down and take a closer look, he would find that there were many abandoned armor and blades on the road, but there were very few corpses of Pingzhou soldiers.
If he could observe more closely, he would find that these armor blades were all low-grade goods, and they were not the standard equipment of the Pingzhou Army at all!
The complacent Kuang Zhang couldn't find this, he was immersed in the excitement of breaking the enemy army.
"Lord, the pursuit has been more than fifty miles, the night is thick, and the battle situation ahead is unclear, why don't we withdraw first!"
After another period of pursuit, one of the generals under Kuang Zhang admonished.
"No, failing to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's main force, withdrawing at this time is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future!"
Kuang Zhang rejected the suggestion of his subordinates and insisted on continuing the pursuit.
However, after continuing to pursue for less than ten miles, Kuang Zhang, who was in high spirits, was suddenly covered by a rain of arrows.
This wave of arrow rain was extremely violent and swift, and many of the 50,000 elite horsemen under Kuang Zhang's subordinates died on the spot. Before Kuang Zhang could react, the surrounding fires lit up, and dense torches surrounded him.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
At this time, if Kuang Zhang still didn't understand what was going on, he would be a famous general of Qi in vain.
"Retreat, retreat!"
didn't have time to think about it, Kuang Zhang hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, but it had reached this point, how could Kuang Zhang withdraw if he wanted to? It's really a top military general in the Pingzhou Army who eats rice!
Gao Xiang and Yang Cheng each took 5,000 black armor Xuanqi to kill from the oblique stab, blocking Kuang Zhang's back road. Zhao Yun led 10,000 silver dragon iron cavalry to intercept from behind.
On either side are 10,000 Star Shine Bow and 10,000 Sun Shooting Pawns. Liu Meng and Huang Zhong each led 5,000 elite cavalry on both sides to press the crossbowmen into formation.
That's right, it's Huang Zhong and Liu Meng.
Since it had been predicted that Kuang Zhang would launch an attack in the near future, Shang Ji certainly wouldn't let the two main combat forces sit idle over there. Although the army didn't have time to come, Huang Zhong and Liu Meng traveled lightly, and it only took an hour to come to Lequan from Anxin and Anguang!
Seeing that there were enemy troops all around, Kuang Zhang frowned at first, and then stretched out again.
Ignoring the persuasion of the generals under his command, he rode out of the military formation alone, and a loud voice sounded: "This general Kuang Zhang, the leader of the enemy army, Shang Ji, is here?" β
"Ben will be here, what do you have to say?"
Shang Ji answered, and he also came out of the ranks. It's just that compared with Kuang Zhang single-handedly, Shang Ji is much more cautious, followed by Guo Biao and Dian Wei.
No one can figure out what Kuang Zhang's strength is, and Shang Ji doesn't want to capsize in the gutter because of his heroism.
"This battle is about to be lost, but the general is not clear, if the general can solve the confusion for the general, the general will order all the troops to surrender to your army!"
"General Kuang Zhang is talking about the Phantom Guard?" A smile appeared at the corner of Shang Ji's mouth, and he said loudly.
He was not afraid that this was Kuang Zhang's ploy to delay time, and the army that ambushed Kuang Zhang was only about 50,000 in total, and the remaining ace armies, including Shura Wei and 50,000 Black Armor Xuanqi, were dealing with the remaining enemy troops.
In the darkness of the night, the enemy pursued and ran for dozens of miles, and the various departments basically lost their ability to communicate and cooperate. In this case, if you encounter several ace armies, you will either die or be captured.
Hearing the name Phantom Guard from Shang Ji's mouth, Kuang Zhang suddenly showed a wry smile: "Ben Jiang is too conceited, thinking that no one in this world can see through Phantom Guard, I didn't expect it!" β
"Although the Phantom Guard is unpredictable, but unfortunately, there is a great talent under the command of the general who specializes in restraining the Phantom Guard!"
"So you're going to set a trap for me?"
"Otherwise, it may be difficult to defeat the general in a short time!"
Shang Ji arched his hand, but the smug look on his face couldn't be hidden. If it was someone else, it would have been forgotten, but it was Kuang Zhang who had been defeated, which had a special meaning for Shang Ji, and the joy in his heart far exceeded expectations.
In fact, the real phantom guards were secretly executed during Kuang Zhang's large-scale attack, and only a few captives were left to identify Kuang Zhang's special signals. Because the time was too tight, Shang Ji didn't believe that Kuang Zhang could find out that the phantom guard was exposed in such a complicated battlefield situation in such a short period of time.
When Kuang Zhang's signal was issued, a confidant general immediately led the soldiers to set fire to the camp to create chaos in order to confuse Kuang Zhang. The generals of the various ministries who received the order early immediately led the army to feign defeat and attract Kuang Zhang to lead troops to attack.
The plan went fairly well, and Kuang Zhang took the bait.
In fact, even if Kuang Zhang really listened to the persuasion of his subordinates to stop the pursuit, he didn't want to escape, Su Huan rode in the sky on a flying phoenix fire to monitor the whole process. Because of the cover of the night, coupled with the high enough flight altitude, Kuang Zhang didn't realize that there was still someone watching him overhead. Once Kuangzhang shows signs of retreating, Shang Ji will immediately launch in advance, and be sure to leave Kuangzhang behind.
The whole process looks simple, but it is quite complicated to execute. That is to say, the Pingzhou army is well-trained, and the non-commissioned officers are prohibited, and the high-ranking generals in the army can only do this.
The regular army will never dare to suddenly feign defeat in a decisive battle with the enemy, that is the rhythm of seeking death, and it is easy to make a fake come true!
"Good, good!"
After listening to Shang Ji's narration, Kuang Zhang suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "This will be a hero who underestimated the world, and this time he lost unjustly!" β
"This defeat is not a crime of war, if General Kuang Zhang can return to our army, he will definitely sweep the couch to greet him, and a little dirt is not worth mentioning."
Shang Ji's words are sincere, if it weren't for Guo Jia's bug, it's really hard to say that this victory or defeat is really hard to say. The ability of Kuang Zhang is even more greedy.
Kuang Zhang laughed dumbly when he heard this, pointed to his nose and said, "The general wants to recruit the general?" β
Listening to the disdain in Kuang Zhang's words, Shang Ji raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Why not?" β
"The general's good intentions have been understood, but unfortunately the opportunity has not come, and the general and the general have no master!" Kuang Zhang sighed, turned to look at the 50,000 Lequan army: "The soldiers of Lequan City listened to the order and immediately surrendered to the Pingzhou army. β
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shang Ji: "The general is incompetent, and he has affected the soldiers under his command, and I ask General Shang to treat them well." β
"General Kuang Zhang, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than Hongmao, why bother to be brave for a while?" Although he won 50,000 elite cavalry in vain, Shang Ji was not happy, and he was still a little sad in his heart when he saw a famous general like Kuang Zhang die in front of him.
"The general misunderstood, when did Ben say that he was going to die?" Saying that, Kuang Zhang smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Ben will underestimate the heroes of the world, and this journey is over." Hopefully I will have the opportunity to fight the general again in the future. β
Shang Ji was feeling that something was wrong, but he saw that Kuang Zhang was suddenly shrouded in a burst of light, and when the light dissipated, Kuang Zhang's figure was no longer there.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in Shang Ji's ears: "Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji, you have successfully defeated the special historical figure Kuang Zhang, rewarded you with 1 million points in the national battle, and rewarded you with the special skill [Investigation]." βntent
