Chapter 596: Duke Jingguo's counterattack, a last-ditch battle!

Under the barren mountain.

The sky has gradually entered the dawn, a ray of light rises from the east, and a red light like red lips can be vaguely seen, floating in the middle of the eastern sky.

"General, the day is about to dawn."

"You should go down and rest for a while!"

The speaker is a burly bearded man, looking at the handsome young general in front of him, but his eyes are extremely deep.

"The day... is about to dawn."

"What are they waiting for?"

"General?"

The handsome young man did not rush to answer, his eyes looked around, and found that the soldiers around him were all sleepy, with slightly frowned brows.

"According to the spies in our army, Dayu will start to cut off food today. Last night was their last chance."

"But they actually... did not move their troops?"

"Are they going to sit and wait for death?"

Le Su slowly stood up and walked down the platform, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. When a ray of light shone on his face from the east, Le Su's expression froze and he immediately shouted: "Come here!"

"General!"

"Send out scouts immediately and keep a close eye on Dayu's movements."

Before the general could speak, he heard the faint sound of horse hooves. Le Su's expression changed, and he turned around and climbed onto the platform. He looked in one direction and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"Quick, enemy attack!"

"Dayu's cavalry is coming, tell Division Xiong, Quickly form a battle array!"

"Yes!"

Military orders were issued from the high platform, and the soldiers below instantly formed a battle array outside the barren mountain. Le Su's expression showed a hint of realization, mixed with a bit of solemnity: "I knew you wouldn't sit and wait for death, so you were waiting."

"Li Jin, I have never underestimated you."

"Report--"

"General, the Changning Army is coming from the northwest."

"Send 30,000 cavalry to slow down the pace of the Changning Army, and first swallow up the cavalry coming from the south."

"Yes!"

The army under the barren mountain started to move, and many soldiers stayed up all night, waiting for the Yu Army on the barren mountain to kill them, but now, the Yu Army on the mountain has not made any movement, and unexpectedly, two reinforcements came out!

"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"

"Duke Jingguo's 200,000 troops have been waiting on the mountain for a long time. We will work together inside and outside to defeat Mobei!"

Lan Yu stood upright on horseback with a gun in his hand, his eyes full of high fighting spirit. A fierce aura swept from him. The Dayu cavalry behind him seemed to be infected by this fighting spirit and held their swords and guns tightly.

"Kill!"

Lan Yu's 20,000 cavalry were like a sharp spear, directly breaking into the formation of the barren mountain. Caught off guard, the army of Mobei had not yet formed a formation.

"General... Soldiers, we can't stop them!"

"No hurry!"

Le Su was not as panicked as imagined. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "Since we can't stop them, let them in!"

"Withdraw the Bear Division, and mobilize all the troops at the entrance of the col. Defend the col and block the National Defense Army on the mountain!"

"Since they want to rush out, I will not let them out!"

"But General..."

A general beside him seemed to want to say something, but he saw Le Su waved his hand and walked directly to the warhorse beside him. Looking at the fierce figure in the battle formation, he said with a bit of concentration: "This person will become a strong enemy of my Da Hu!"

"However, today is not the time for my Da Hu and Dayu to fight to the death. I am looking forward to it!"

"Withdraw!"

Le Su gave an order, and the soldiers of the Bear Division behind him set off without hesitation, leaving several generals in Mobei looking at each other.

"General!"

"Now that Dayu's reinforcements are coming, if you retreat, once the Zhenguo Army is allowed to go down the mountain, all efforts will be in vain!"

"General Amihan, I am here on the orders of my Khan to help Mobei attack Dayu, but I am not here to let you die."

"Now this cavalry is coming to help, and they are in high spirits. Our army has been holding on for several days, and we are exhausted. We cannot confront them head-on. If I were you, I would do my best to wipe out the Changning Army before Zhenguogong breaks out of the blockade!"

"Retreat!"

Lesu waved his hand and led his army to retreat directly. Several generals in Mobei looked at an older figure with inquiring eyes!

"General Lesu is right. Pass my order to send 10,000 troops to defend the mountain pass. 10,000 troops will hold back the pace of this cavalry. The rest of the troops will do their best to encircle and kill the Changning Army!"

"Send all scouts to the south as soon as possible to inform the commander that the Zhenguo Army... has escaped!"

"Yes!"

After a military order was issued, Lesu led the Hu Nu's bear division to return directly to the north. More than 100,000 troops in Mobei were quickly divided, and several Mobei generals led their troops to encircle and suppress the Changning Army.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the mountain. A group of Mobei generals looked up the mountain in unison, and saw a team of Dayu soldiers wearing armor and holding shields charging forward and stopping in front of the mountain pass.

"They want to break out?"

"Send an order, block the pass, don't let Dayu's soldiers go down the mountain!"

"Yes!"

Before the soldiers from Mobei could meet them, the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army suddenly stopped in front of the pass, and figures holding iron shields stepped forward, forming an unbreakable shield formation, and then dense arrows were thrown from behind the shield soldiers.

"Be careful!"

"Archers, counterattack!"

The Mobei generals saw this and quickly ordered their soldiers to line up to resist the enemy, but Dayu's reaction was completely beyond their expectations. This time, the charge was not reckless at all. They marched step by step, cleared the way with shields and armor, and suppressed the enemy with arrows.

In a short moment, they actually forced the Mobei soldiers who were lined up in front to retreat nearly a hundred feet.

"We can't retreat anymore!"

"If we retreat again, the pass will be undefended. Pass the order, the army will press forward, even if it means using piles of heads, we must block Dayu's national defense army at the pass!"

"Yes!"

At the command, several Mobei generals led their troops to press forward. It was already dawn, and a new round of fighting was also launched in this nameless barren mountain. After several days and nights, the soldiers of Mobei were already exhausted.

Although Dayu's 200,000 national defense troops also suffered casualties, now, with the determination to break through and the desire to survive, they launched charges again and again without fear of death.

"Wu Zhou, Li Yan!"

"I am here!"

"Each of you leads 3,000 elite soldiers, and attacks the pass from the left and right sides. The shield soldiers lead the way, and the spearmen follow closely. In the shortest possible time, fight with Mobei in close combat."

"Yes!"

"Wu Meng!"

"I am here!"

"Order the archers to advance another ten feet forward, and suppress the army of Mobei to buy time for Wu Zhou and the others!"

"Yes!"

"Soldiers, now my Dayu's reinforcements have arrived. As long as my national defense army rushes out of this barren mountain, we can turn defeat into victory!"

"Kill!"
