Chapter 703: Decisive Battle (Part 2)

"Archers, shoot!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Arrows rained down overwhelmingly. It was now dusk, and a heat wave drooped from the sky, adding a bit of sultry heat.

The soldiers wearing armor launched a charge without fear of death, and the soldiers from ordinary backgrounds fought for their lives. The successful ones were well-dressed and well-fed, achieving a class leap, while the defeated ones turned into withered bones and disappeared under the rolling waves of the times.

"Commander, it's getting late. Judging from the defense on the city tower, there are at least tens of thousands of people in Liyang City. Should we wait for a day?"

"I, Da Yan...can't afford to hold you back!"

Yun Xi's face was a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Has Chen Ding's whereabouts been found out?"

"How did Liyang City fall?"

"The food and grass in the city and the ordnance of Yizhou City have now fallen into the hands of Da Li, right?"

"Commander... General Chen Ding... his whereabouts are unknown!"

"The three hundred thousand troops are missing as well!"

"Asshole!"

Even the city government of Yunxi couldn't help but be furious at this moment, shouting angrily: "This is the closest I, Da Yan, have come to unifying the north and south. What on earth does Chen Ding intend to do, to miss my important event like this?"

"Is it possible that an army of 300,000 people can disappear out of thin air?"

"The food and grass in Liyang City is related to the survival of our hundreds of thousands of troops in Dayan!"

"Chen Ding, you must be blamed for all deaths!"

Seeing that his commander was so angry, the generals on the side were also gnashing their teeth. If something had not happened in Liyang City, Chen Ding would have led an army of 300,000 people southward, and together with Yunxi's main force of 700,000 people, he would have been able to defeat the 300,000 Li troops. The army was completely surrounded.

Even if Xi Xiongtu has powerful means, how can he break through the blockade of a million-strong army?

Yunxi made no strategic mistakes. In fact, it was a wise choice to hold Liyang City firmly in his hands!

But despite all his calculations, he never thought that Liyang City, where 300,000 Yan troops were stationed, would be invaded without anyone noticing.

Even if Yunxi didn't miss anything, he still looked confused at this moment, it didn't make sense at all!

"Commander, how should we act now?"

"call!"

"Is there any news from Yun Zhu and the others?"

"Never!"

"We can't delay it any longer!"

Yun Xi sighed sadly, regained his emotions in an instant, and said softly: "Let's end this southern expedition!"

"Commander?"

"Are we just going to withdraw our troops?"

"What if we don't withdraw?"

"Even if Liyang City is captured, our army is now low on food and grass. If we drag it on, how will the hundreds of thousands of troops be able to feed themselves?"

"Besides, there is no news from the imperial court so far. I cannot rely on whether the imperial court's assistance is timely or not."

"Send an order to stop attacking the city and move the army westward to meet Yun Zhu and the others!"

"promise!"

After a military order was issued, the sky was also darkened. To Ning Fan's expectation, Da Yan actually withdrew his troops this time!

"Report!"

"The handsome actor, Mr. Shen!"

"The main force of the Yan Army is advancing westward and has released the siege of Liyang City."

Hearing the report from the scouts, Xi Xiongtu's expression changed slightly and he looked at Ning Fan with some worry: "Did they notice our deployment in the three cities in the western border?"

"No!"

Ning Fan shook his head and said solemnly: "Yunxi, you are really a character."

"If my calculations are correct, starting tonight, Da Yan's army will start to run out of food."

"Yunxi didn't dare to continue to fight with us, so he sent a hundred thousand troops to exchange lives for lives and consume our main force!"

"After half a day's delay, I'm afraid Qu Yan defeated the 100,000 Yan army and suffered heavy losses himself."

"Now, Yunxi leads his army to the west. He will meet up with the main force of 300,000 people in the western border, and then send his troops north to return to the Dayan border."

After hearing Ning Fan's analysis, Xi Xiongtu's face showed a bit of unwillingness, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, wouldn't our 150,000 troops ambushed in the three cities in the western border be in danger?"

"At this time, their ambush should have begun!"

"Xiao Shuai, let's go out of the city to pursue him!"

"good!"

Xi Xiongtu did not hesitate and directly ordered the 50,000 troops in the city to prepare and pursue them.

Ning Fan was still sitting on the city tower, looking at the movements on the dynamic military sand table, and whispered softly: "I want to retreat easily, but it is not that easy. In this battle, I will kill your Da Yan."

…

"Prisoner Army, fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

A roar of exhaustion resounded across the wilderness. Zhang Han held a long spear and led his army across the battlefield. Wherever the spear's light passed, his muscles and bones were injured at the least, and his throat was covered with blood at the worst.

The criminal army behind them was filled with a strong evil aura, and their bodies were already covered in blood.

"General Qu, surround them."

"Tonight, we will bury these 100,000 Yan troops here at all costs!"

"good!"

Qu Yan also shouted loudly and led the cavalry to charge again. Half of the 50,000 knights had been lost at this moment. All the defenders in the direction of Yizhou City also joined the battle group. Together with Zhang Han's prisoner army, the Li army was ten Twenty to thirty thousand soldiers and horses were inseparable from Da Yan's 100,000 troops.

Undoubtedly, they all underestimated Yan Jun's combat power!

"kill!"

"Soldiers, Yan's army is isolated and helpless, we will bury them all here!"

"Charge with me!"

Both sides were locked in a deadly battle, their forces were rapidly decreasing, and the combat power of the prisoner army exceeded Zhang Han's expectations.

The 30,000 prisoners were like long-dormant soldiers, disregarding their own lives and deaths, and rushed towards the Yan army desperately!

"Kill these bastards, my daughter died at the hands of the Yan army."

"Revenge for the dead people in Dali!"

"Kill!"

The fighting lasted for half a night, and even Zhang Han was exhausted. Looking at the corpses all around, his eyes showed a bit of disappointment.

Even in the previous life, he rarely experienced such a tragic battle!

I thought that this victory was in my grasp, but I never thought that it would be so difficult!

"Where is Zhang Han?"

"I am here!"

Zhang Han shouted, and saw a woman in black clothes. She recognized Ning Yan's identity and hurried forward: "Miss Ning, what do you want, lord?"

"Zhang Han, lead the army to Liyang City with Qu Yan immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Han glanced at the remaining troops around him. The three parties' troops combined might not even reach 50,000.

"General Qu, Liyang is in danger, we will rush to help immediately!"

"Okay!"

...

Changshui.

This is a large river in the west of Liyang City, the main branch of the Lijiang River. Although it is not as wide as the Lijiang River, it also has rushing water washing the river channels on both sides.

"Kill!"

The war here has also entered a white-hot stage. The 100,000 troops from Liyang City set up an ambush again, ambushing the three main forces under Yunxi. The 150,000 defenders of Ma'an, Chaozhou and other three cities also joined forces and came from the banks of the Xiaohe River to attack from the flank!
