Chapter 165: Lian Yong died in battle, Yu Huatian was surrounded
But the sacrifice of these soldiers was meaningful. They successfully delayed the enemy's pace and bought time for the main force to evacuate.
The corpses, muddy roads, and pouring rain slowed down the cavalry.
Forty thousand people blocking the enemy are like forty thousand pigs. It will take a long time for the enemy to kill them all.
The rest of the Yan army had already headed south to pursue the enemy.
Shen Changgong personally led the eastern army and cooperated with the Zhennan army to attack the enemy from two sides and continuously encircled and suppressed them.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Lian Yong roared and killed one Yan soldier after another, waving the spear in his hand continuously, splashing blood in the heavy rain.
"Don't be so arrogant! Guan is here!"
Guan Shouchang held a big knife in his hand and rushed towards Lian Yong quickly.
Because the previous battles were all on foot, neither Guan Shouchang nor Shen Changgong rode horses. The counterattack came too suddenly, and they didn't have time to get their horses from behind. They just stretched out their legs and rushed forward through the mud.
Guan Shouchang and Lian Yong, the old enemies, get together again.
The difference from last time was that this time it was the Yan army that surrounded the Kun army.
As for Lian Yong, no one came to save him.
Guan Shouchang brandished a broadsword and fought fiercely with Lian Yong.
Although Lian Yong no longer had a suitable weapon and his strength was greatly reduced, the fighting power he unleashed after being put in a desperate situation was still extremely powerful.
He knew that he would not survive, but if he could exchange his life on the battlefield and kill the enemy's general Guan Shouchang, it would be a huge profit.
"Guan Shouchang, die!"
Lian Yong roared angrily, shook his spear, and rushed towards Guan Shouchang.
Guan Shouchang stepped on a corpse, jumped up, and swung his sword towards Lian Yong.
Lian Yong shook his spear and slapped Guan Shouchang's sword horizontally, knocking it away, and then immediately stabbed Guan Shouchang in the face.
Guan Shouchang dodged sideways, swung the big knife behind his back with his right hand, and slashed towards Lian Yong's face.
Lian Yong held up his spear to block, but was knocked back repeatedly by the huge force.
Guan Shouchang immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, attacking again and again.
Lian Yong's defense was beginning to fray, and the two fought for dozens of rounds. The more Lian Yong was defeated, the more powerful his advantage became.
He knew he couldn't delay any longer and had to fight to the death.
He suddenly turned around, dodged Guan Shouchang's knife, pulled back the spear in his hand, gathered strength and stabbed Guan Shouchang in the chest.
Guan Shouchang swung the Qinglong sword in his hand and chopped it down towards Lian Yong's face.
Neither of them dodged or avoided, and the fight was a life-and-death battle to see who was faster.
when!
There was a loud bang, and Lian Yong's helmet was hit by Guan Shouchang's sword. The whole person flew backwards due to the huge force, and the spear in his hand flew out of his hand when it was only a finger away from Guan Shouchang.
Lian Yong's helmet was split into two halves, and his head was also split into two halves.
Lian Yong, the most powerful general under Yu Huatian, died on the battlefield while covering Yu Huatian's retreat.
"Humph, you're just a traitor!"
Guan Shouchang put away his knife, stroked his beard and snorted coldly, and a large amount of rain water squeezed out of his beard.
There's nothing we can do. The rain is too heavy.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Whose general is this? He is so brave."
He looked back and saw that Shen Changgong and Southern King Ma Ling had come behind him. Shen Changgong was riding a horse and holding another horse in his hand.
"This humble general pays homage to His Majesty, and pays homage to the King of the South."
Guan Shouchang immediately held his sword and saluted.
Shen Changgong handed the reins to Guan Shouchang, then looked at Ma Ling and said proudly,
"He is one of my generals."
"Oh? Not necessarily. Why do I think he looks so much like one of my generals?"
King Nan said coldly.
His eyes were burning with passion, and the way he looked at Guan Shouchang showed his deep admiration for talent.
Shen Changgong said seriously,
"He calls me Prince and you the Southern Prince. It's obvious, you must be mine.
Moreover, Lao Guan is the most powerful and intelligent general under my command. He is capable of standing on his own. I have been training him according to the standards of a commander.
You want to dig it away, but I'm dead."
"Then can my 50,000 Southern Guards be able to kill you?"
King Nan snorted coldly.
Shen Changgong smiled brightly and said,
"Anyway, I'd like to thank Brother Ma for his great help this time. If you hadn't arrived in time with 50,000 Zhennan troops, I wouldn't have dared to implement such a risky plan. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to completely wipe out the enemy.
Tonight, let's drink some wine to warm ourselves up, and don't go home until we're drunk."
Nan Wang Ma Ling nodded, and suddenly, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said seriously,
"I'm your uncle!"
"To each his own."
Shen Changgong said,
"Let's go, the enemy troops here have been almost killed, and we can still chase another wave of enemies."
"go!"
Shen Changgong and King Nan immediately led the army and rushed south.
The baggage camp and the remaining army, twenty miles away from Qianxing Valley, also broke camp and set off in the heavy rain, heading south.
They still have a mission to complete, which is to set up camp outside Qianxing City and surround the enemy.
Shen Changgong dispatched more than 20,000 troops from the Eastern Army to clean up the tents of the Kun Army camp. Because of the rain, the enemy was unable to launch a fire attack, and the tents were preserved, which was a good opportunity for the Yan Army.
After chasing for ten miles to the south, they also killed many enemy soldiers. The enemy was running all over the mountains and plains, abandoning their armor and weapons, and their speed was extremely fast.
I'm running for my life. If I don't run, I'll die. How can I not be fast?
The Yan army chased them wearing armor and holding weapons, but the road was muddy and it was really difficult to catch them.
The Zhennan Army rushed forward and killed many enemies. When they reached the city gate, the Kun Army had already closed the gate, so the Zhennan Army blocked the gate outside.
On the way, Shen Changgong met Zhang Yide.
Zhang Yide wiped the rain off his face and said,
"Your Highness...pua (onomatopoeia), the rain is too heavy, pua, I really can't chase her, please stop chasing her, pua..."
"Even if we don't chase them, we have to set up camp outside the city. Let the brothers continue walking, and pick up the brothers behind us. Set up the tents as soon as possible."
"Got it, pua!"
Zhang Yide rode his horse back again.
When it was almost dark, the main force of the Yan army arrived outside the city. The soldiers worked together to quickly set up camp and go in to avoid the rain.
At this time, the rain had become much lighter, and everyone used wet firewood to cook. Being able to eat a bowl of hot rice at this time was simply the happiest thing.
By this time, the Yan army had completely completed the siege of Qianxing City. The Kun army, which had originally been attacking the city, now became the defending party, while the Yan army, which had originally been defending the city, was now watching covetously outside the city.
Shen Changgong was not in a hurry to attack the city. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, its main force was still there and it was not easy to defeat them. His own side also suffered a lot of losses. He wanted to wear down the enemy's fighting spirit first.
