Chapter 571: Yan Army Victory
"You know the truth."
Yu Ziling had a smug smile on her face. She walked in front of Shen Changgong, holding a spear, and climbed up the mountain.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the soldiers above had already reached the top of the mountain and started a fierce battle with the Wei army.
The fact that the first battalion was able to charge forward opened up space for the following troops. The pressure on the soldiers below was suddenly reduced a lot, and they all rushed upwards quickly.
There were no more battering rams and logs being thrown down from above, only occasional arrows that would shoot down over the heads of the Yan army.
Shen Changgong looked up from time to time. Suddenly, an arrow drew a parabola on the top of the mountain and headed straight for Yu Ziling's face.
"careful!"
Shen Changgong pulled Yu Ziling into his arms, then swung his right hand and chopped the arrow away.
Yu Ziling looked at the flying arrow and blinked. She knew that Shen Changgong had saved her at the critical moment. She was moved and said to Shen Changgong with affection,
"Luckily you were here. You saved me."
Shen Changgong said with a serious face,
"We're killing enemies on the battlefield. Be serious. If you want to flirt, save it for tonight. I don't have time to kiss you right now."
"You...who wants to flirt with you!"
Yu Ziling was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet. She walked up with her spear in hand, ignoring this annoying guy.
They rushed up the mountain with the soldiers.
At this time, on the top of the mountain, the Yan army had been advancing continuously, launching a three-sided attack on the Wei army, and constantly squeezing the Wei army's living space.
The Wei army had no advantage in terms of numbers or morale, and was defeated one after another, leaving behind a large number of corpses, and a large area of space was occupied by the Yan army.
The two sides engaged in close combat and continued to attack. There were archers squatting on some trees, shooting arrows at each other.
The army spread out, and fighting was going on everywhere on the mountaintop that stretched for more than ten miles.
Shen Changgong drew his sword and roared,
"Brothers, follow me and push the enemies down! Kill them all!"
"kill!!!"
The soldiers were in high spirits, their eyes were red, they roared angrily, and desperately stabbed their weapons into the enemy's chest.
The morale of the Wei army plummeted, and all they could think of was the legend of the Yan army's invincibility. Facing the beast-like Yan army, they were terrified from the bottom of their hearts, and their defense line retreated again and again.
Yu Ziling rushed forward, waving the spear in her hand, accurately killing one enemy after another, enjoying the killing very much.
As the knight guarding the princess, Shen Changgong naturally stayed by her side and helped her deal with the enemy troops who wanted to launch a sneak attack one after another.
He knew that Yu Ziling had always dreamed of leading troops to charge and kill the enemy in blood. This was her long-cherished wish.
So this time Shen Changgong did not stop her, but just protected her by her side, allowing her to kill to her heart's content and fulfill her dream.
There's no way, who made Shen Changgong a good man who dotes on his wife?
The soldiers fought bloody battles, and from time to time they would throw a divine thunder from a distance, blowing up a large area.
The Wei army was struggling to hold on, and everyone wanted to run away, but without the general's order, they dared not retreat.
The general did not dare to run away without the order of the commander-in-chief of the Western Army.
The commander-in-chief did not dare to retreat without the order of the commander-in-chief Pang Liao.
The commander of the Western Army shouted at the top of his lungs,
"Hold on! We will fight to the death, even if it means death. We will drive these damned Yan people out, drive them out of our land.
Defend our homeland, drive out the Yan invaders, and forge a great Wei dynasty forever. Fight to the death and never retreat!"
After hearing this, the Wei army soldiers could only hold on with difficulty.
At this moment, the messenger sent by Pang Liao finally ran to the side of the Western Army and shouted,
"General Yan, General Pang has ordered the entire army to retreat to Weiyang Mountain. Quickly!"
When Yan Shuai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed his order.
"The entire army retreats! Retreat to Weiyang Mountain, retreat quickly! Retreat!"
The Wei army soldiers wanted to curse after hearing this.
It was you who ordered the army to fight to the death, and it was you who ordered the entire army to retreat. What the hell were you trying to do?
But the horn had already sounded, and the Wei soldiers had no choice but to obey orders and run down in a swarm.
General Yan shouted that two corps should be left behind to cover the retreat and the rest of the people should retreat.
But at this time, morale had already collapsed. Everyone knew that those who stayed behind to cover the retreat would surely die, so no one was willing to stay.
In addition, the battlefield stretched for more than ten miles, and the general's orders could not be conveyed in time. The soldiers only heard the sound of the bugle and could not hear other commands.
So what to do? Run.
They rushed down the mountain to the south, and their retreat turned into a rout, with people everywhere in the mountains and plains.
Logically speaking, this is the best time for the Zhennan Army's cavalry to pursue and kill, but at this time, the Zhennan Army is still stuck at Fengling Pass and cannot get out.
The Wei army was in disarray, and the Yan army, like wolves and tigers, chased them down from the top of the mountain.
The Yan soldiers howled with excitement, some even threw away their armor, and chased after the enemy with bare chests and swords in hand, just to reduce their weight and run faster.
After all, the chopped-off heads are military merits.
Military merit is the title, it is money, it is the certificate that determines whether they can become the superior people in the future.
The Yan army threw away their weapons and armor, and at first glance, it seemed that they had lost the battle.
Many Wei soldiers were caught up and hacked to death.
Some Yan soldiers even just slashed at the enemy casually, knocking them down, and then chased forward and continued to slash.
The defeat was like a landslide, which is the most appropriate way to describe the Wei army at this moment.
This is why in many large-scale legion battles, the commanders of both sides knew that they could not hold on any longer, but no one dared to call off the battle.
Even without the sound of the horn, the soldiers could still hold on and fight the enemy.
Once the battle is over, morale will plummet.
Pang Liao made a very stupid decision this time, which directly led to the complete collapse of the Wei army.
Shen Changgong and Yu Ziling saw that the Yan army was chasing the Wei army like crazy, so they did not dare to be careless. For fear that their army would fall into the enemy's trap, they also ran over as fast as they could.
They chased from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and then from the bottom of the mountain to the south.
After chasing for three or four miles, a big mountain in front came into view, covered with dense Wei army flags.
It was almost evening and getting dark. The enemy's defense line on the mountain had been established, and the Yan army was in disarray and could no longer fight.
Shen Changgong decisively gave the order to call back the Yan army and let them return to Fengling Pass.
The messengers kept beating the gongs and shouting to retreat, and only then did the Yan army slow down their offensive and march back one by one.
On the eastern battlefield, the Southern Army that was chasing the enemy also began to retreat. The two armies gradually merged and headed back. The scattered Wei Army they encountered on the way were directly captured and taken back to Fengling Pass.
