Chapter 170 Honored
After a long period of melee, the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties. Shi Zhan calculated the time in his mind and asked the personal soldiers around him to release arrows into the sky.
The soldiers of the Tiger Guard heard the signal and fought and retreated, gradually leaving the enemy's range. Although the Xiliang Army did not know why the other party retreated, they now hoped that they would retreat as far as possible.
The leader of the North Camp originally wanted to rush out of the surround and cross the Baihe River, but he didn't expect that he would look forward with the moonlight and almost spit out a few mouthfuls of old blood.
I saw that at the far end of this official road, the tiger guards formed a formation to block the way, and the number of people was less than two thousand.
"General, the number of enemy troops is only more than one thousand, and they are just mantis armed and chariots."
"I am not blind and can't see it? How many people are left now?"
"Reporting to the general, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 people, which is enough to break through the enemy's defense."
The head general of the North Camp was very upset when he heard the remaining number of people. He was very sure that there were at most less than 5,000 ambush soldiers just now, but only a few thousand people had lost nearly half of his 25,000 people. If this incident reached the prince's ears, he would likely be used to vent his anger.
Shi Zhan stood in front of the formation and watched the enemy regroup, his eyes as cold as frost. Even if he caught the opponent off guard, the number of enemies was too large than his own. The three thousand tiger guards had only achieved this level in more than half an hour. Now I just hope that the prince would lead people to arrive as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to die to his country.
Therefore, the retreat was very hurried, the Beiying Army did not care about the supplies and equipment at all. The crossbowman and the Gunzima had only two or three feather arrows in their hands. After the shooting was exhausted, the Gunzima deviated from the wings of the Hu Guard, and the infantry immediately launched a charge.

In the North Bank Daying, Bailiji sat in the commander's tent and discussed with Hu Bugui how to annihilate the South Bank Daying.
At this moment, the messenger suddenly fell outside the tent, "Report to Your Highness! The attack on the west camp in Xiangfan City is likely to have been wiped out. The head general of the camp in the north of the city is leading his subordinates to move closer to this place, but he was blocked by the enemy on the east bank of the Baihe River. Now he cannot advance or retreat. At this time, many fleeing kidnapped horses have returned to the camp."
'Bang'
Baili Ji kicked the brazier down in anger and shouted loudly: "What are you saying! There are less than 60,000 defenders in Fanning City. Where can they get the courage to fight with me in Xiliang!"
"Report to Your Highness, according to the cavalry fleeing from Fanning City, Zhao Qingyan should have led his army to smuggle across Baihe and join forces to attack the camp."
Hu Bugui also knew that it was time of crisis. If the nearly 60,000 troops on the east bank of the Baihe River were annihilated, it would not be safe even if he had the trump card of Tiefutu in his hand.
"Your Highness! I will now lead the cavalry in the camp to respond."
"stop!"
"What else does Your Highness have to give?"
After the initial shock, Bailiji had already reacted. After a few days of attrition, the south bank could only have 15,000 soldiers left at most. Zhao Qingyan wanted to work with the Xiangfan army to attack the camp, and at least ten thousand people were needed to achieve the effect. Thinking of this, Bailiji sneered on his face.
"Hu Bugui, immediately call the elite troops in Qiying camp to the south bank. If there are not enough infantry, let the cavalry dismount and cross. I predict that even if there are only three or four thousand wounded soldiers on the south bank, as long as you move fast enough, you will definitely pull out this nail, and we will gain the upper hand again."
Hearing this, Hu Bugui instantly thought about it and ran out of the handsome tent without answering.
"Miyamoto wanted to hold you for a few days and then capture you alive in an unexpected battle, but he didn't expect that your courage was even greater than I thought. He was going to be on the verge of war and going to be on the verge of war. What is important is this danger. Since you are not afraid of risks, let's see who the hunter is."
Since the main force smuggled across Baihe, Bai Yi has been standing on the sentry tower to observe the enemy camp. He did not choose to erect more flags to confuse the enemy, but instead did nothing like this, for fear that Bailiji would see something.
When I was secretly praying in my heart that the sneak attack would win a great victory, I suddenly saw an abnormal movement on the north bank.
Bai Yi's eyes trembled. He didn't expect the enemy to discover it so quickly. It was because Shi Zhan had too few people and let some fish escape.
"Flying stone car! Blast out all the remaining stones and do not keep them. The crossbowman immediately goes to the well railing, and the infantry is ready to take the enemy! Also, as long as the wounded soldiers in the battalion can move, they will gather at the Beizhai Wall!"
Then he picked up the Zhuyan Gun and walked towards the village wall. Bai Yi was a little worried. He originally wanted to last two days, but he didn't expect the enemy to discover it so quickly.
No matter what, you must stick to it until dawn!
---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)
Qing Yan led the remaining cavalry to the north, and Lou Jin also followed with thousands of cavalry in Fanning City. As for the other infantry, they even left all unnecessary equipment and tried their best to bite the cavalry's tail. At this time, they no longer cared about the formation and just wanted to reach the ambush site as soon as possible.
When he heard a faint sound of killing coming from the front, the vanguard's cavalry all showed ecstasy on his face, and the horse whip was thrown even faster.
"kill!"
"kill!!"
Shi Zhan was already covered in blood, and his exquisite armor was even more fragmented, but when he and a group of tiger guards heard the shouts of killing from behind the enemy, their bodies seemed to be filled with endless strength.
"The prince has arrived! Change the formation!" Shi Zhan pierced through an enemy again and roared loudly.
When the war on the east coast settled, the sky gradually turned white. Although there was no counting the casualties, Qing Yan looked at the more than 200 tiger guards behind Shi Zhan, and couldn't help but sigh. It was a blessing that it would be possible for Shi Zhan to hold the enemy's army for 3,000 people.
"General Lou, there is no need to clean the battlefield. Now you are leading your soldiers to cross the Baishui west to change to the south bank camp. I have sent people to cut off the enemy's food route. If Bailiji gets the news, I will definitely not bet. So I am now leading our troops to ambush the enemy's way north and retreat to the north, doing my best to annihilate the enemy east of Wuguan."
"After Bailiji leads his army to retreat north, the general only needs to keep a distance of five miles from him, and ensure safety first. When he arrives near Shirenshan, I will catch him off guard. The general will charge with all his might, and the battle will be settled."
After hearing this, Lou Jin did not respond, but came to Qingyan and whispered: "Prince, we have gained the upper hand after this battle. Why do you have to take a big risk to ambush? It's better for us to set up a dignified array and press forward step by step. Wouldn't it be safe?"
"I have taken over the general's intentions. But if the prince of Xiliang could be killed in the territory of Nan Zhao, it is very likely that Xiliang would be a turtle shrunk for another twenty years. If you miss this opportunity, you and I have no face to face His Majesty, and you have no face to face the people of Nan Zhao." Qing Yan turned his horse's head and bowed: "General Lou, it is my honor to fight side by side with you. When the dust of this battle is settled, you and I will definitely drink and talk and take care of you!"
Then Qingyan led the remaining 5,000 tiger guards and rushed northwards. Lou Jin stared blankly at the young but majestic body. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but the deputy general beside him reminded him to come back to his senses.
-------------------(I'm a dividing line)
There were countless corpses floating above the Tuohe River, with feather arrows inserted into the ground, and the clear river water was dyed light red. But no one cared about it, even if he looked down, the Xiliang soldiers crossed the Tuohe River one after another and rushed to the camp on the south bank.
The originally tall and sturdy village wall had already appeared in dozens of gaps. The two sides had been fighting for the ownership of the village wall for more than an hour. “Sulphur oil! Is there any sulphur oil!”
"Without the general, the turmeric oil has been used up before half the incense stick!"
Bai Yi's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley. After the bloody battle in the middle of the night, more than half of the tiger guards had lost and gradually became at a disadvantage. At this time, all the flying stones and crossbow arrows in his hand, including any equipment, were all exhausted. If the crossbowman had not all added to the defense line, the village would have been lost half an hour ago.
"The order given to us is to stay in the throne and wait for help. Well, we will fight to the last one."
On the north bank, Bailiji stared at the battle situation with his eyes tightly. Seeing more and more soldiers rushing into the enemy camp, the stones in his heart gradually fell down.
"Send the order! All cavalry crossed the turbulent river and rushed into the enemy camp from both wings. Be sure to deal with the defenders within half an hour. Once the hour arrives, I don't want to see any tiger guards."
"slow!"
After giving orders, Baili looked at the rolling dust and smoke in the southeast direction, and was shocked.
"Send a probe to see how many enemies come!"
Baili Ji didn't expect the other party to be so fast. It seemed that Zhao Qingyan had acted before the ugly night, otherwise even more than 50,000 pigs would not have been killed so quickly.
"Report to Your Highness, it is roughly estimated that the enemy troops are no less than 30,000, and they are under the banner of Xiangfan Legion and Huwei."
The commander knelt on the ground for a long time but didn't hear the prince's voice. He couldn't help but look up and found that the prince was trembling and staring at the Nanban camp.
"Your Highness! Why are you feeling unwell?"
"Ming Jin to withdraw the troops..." Baili Ji said, and slowly walked towards the commander's tent. He was already extremely angry and helpless.
If you continue to fight head-on with the enemy, you may suffer both losses. At that time, the Tiefutu in your hand will be useless, so Bailiji struggled violently and issued a retreat order with difficulty.
Half an hour later, Nanban camp.
"How long has General Lou separated from the prince? Where did he start north?" Bai Yi didn't care about treating the wound on his body. He asked quickly after seeing Lou Jin.
"I was separated from the prince at about one minute of Mao. The route of travel was to head north on the east bank of the Baihe River. He still had about five thousand tiger guards in his hands, so General Bai didn't have to worry."
"Since that's the case, I will rest in the camp until late tonight. I hope General Lou will even out some war horses. At that time, I will lead the battleable tiger guards to meet with the prince."
Lou Jin looked at the long-famous general in front of him and sighed slightly, "Don't worry, General Bai, I will prepare enough war horses for you at that time."
"This will bring more General Lou. By the way, I hope the general will properly resettle the wounded soldiers in the camp. If you have the chance, it is better to send them to Fanning City. Bai Yi thanked me here." After that, Bai Yi took a step back and bowed deeply.
"General Bai doesn't have to do this. The heroic performance of the Huwei Camp in this battle will spread all over the world without long. These are the bravest soldiers in Nan Zhao, and I will definitely place them properly and prevent them from being hurt again."
Speaking of this, Lou Jin wanted to continue talking, but he couldn't say anything at all.
"What order does General Lou have?"
"I am just worried about the safety of the prince. Although he was not injured, he was naturally not energetic enough to rush for a night. I just hope he can take care of his health. When General Bai goes to the prince, he hopes you can pass on a message."
"Just say that Lou Jin admires the only two people most in his life, one is Changping Hou and the other is the old prince. Although I heard about the prince's proud record before, I didn't see it with my own eyes. But until now, I realized that the prince is not a false reputation. I, Lou Jin, feel extremely honored to fight side by side with the prince."
