Chapter 217: The Battle of Destruction

General Ning Hu of Yan State had never expected that he would die in the army of ten thousand horses tonight.

Even though he knew that the Zhao army ambushed the soldiers and horses of the Youda camp by luring troops. On the way to hurry, what he considered was only how much losses he could bear. After all, the cavalry of Zhao State was only more than 10,000 cavalry, and the one he brought out of the city was 20,000 of the most elite cavalry of Yan State, plus the 10,000 infantry of the Youda camp, which had a huge advantage in three to one. If in this case, the cavalry of Zhao State could escape unscathed, it would be a miracle.

However, the general of Yan may not have realized that in the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, the difference between victory and defeat is not calculated this way. What's more, the young general of Zhao he faced was always famous for creating miracles in the years to come. Being an opponent with such a person can only be said to be a misfortune in his life.

By the time he understood this, it was too late. The Zhao cavalry who came over from smoke and fire had no scruples. Anyone who stood in front of them was a killable enemy. One side was in high morale, the other side was in chaos. The final result was actually the outcome from the first moment when the blades of the two soldiers collided.

Ning Hu watched his subordinates start to retreat like a black wave. Even if he shouted desperately and even cut down a few people with his sword, it would be useless. The infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and once the defeat began, it would be impossible for humans to recover.

"Stop! Turn your horse's head...rush over to me!"

The angry general of Yan did not care about his own safety. He personally rode his horse in front of the guards of more than a hundred cavalry, and others could run away for their lives. But he could not. He did not expect that under such superior forces, he would fail so quickly. This is a fact that he could not accept no matter what.

Influenced by Ning Hu, some people stopped and started charging with him again. However, how could they be the powerful opponents of Zhao army? In this case, the tenacious resistance was just to destroy himself.

On the battlefield that was tens of miles in a radius of people, the horses were neighing. The fires lit up everywhere and the illumination of countless torches were like daytime. In the chaos, a cavalry rushed out from the left thorn like sharp arrows. He took the lead and swept across thousands of troops with a long spear in his hand. Anyone who encountered them would be either dead or injured, and no one would be spared. A pair of cold eyes flashed by under the red tassel battle helmet, colliding with Ning Hu.

General Yan felt a chill on his body inexplicably, and he immediately realized that the opposite side must be the main general of the Zhao cavalry. Then, in the blink of an eye, he saw the war horse rushing towards him.

Even though there were thousands of cavalry blocking it, they could not stop the man and his spear. A long roar rang in his ears, and the guards were all falling off their horses, screaming endlessly. Ning Hu suddenly waved the sword in his hand, trying to block the long spear that pierced his chest. The sharp blades hit each other, and the huge force shocked his sword out of his hand. He could no longer dodge in size.

Murong Licheng, who came from the horse, didn't blink without blinking his eyes, and a spear penetrated his chest. The armor worn by the enemy general could not withstand this move. After the spear tip broke into the armor, he used force with his arms and suddenly lifted the huge body of the Yan general into the air. Then he shouted loudly and threw it out from a distance.

Such mightyness is indeed shocking. Even a general like Ning Hu who commanded tens of thousands of troops was killed instantly by the opponent with one move. Not to mention others. The soldiers of the Yan army who saw this scene with their own eyes were scared out of their courage. Whether it was a cavalry or an infantryman, there was only one idea left, that was to run! How far you ran, you would never fight with these Zhao people again.

From the Huben cavalry beginning to ambush the soldiers of the Right Army camp, to the Yan cavalry in Zijing Pass to rescue, and to the general defeat of the opponent, it was less than an hour before and on this battlefield where the Battle of Zijing Pass started, huge casualties have been caused.

The most miserable thing among them is of course the more than 10,000 people from the Right Army camp. Almost all of them were killed in the charge and fighting of the cavalry on both sides. They had no time to escape if they wanted to escape. Only a very small number of the desperate guys followed the defeated and fleeing army and rushed towards Zijing Pass in panic.

However, they never expected that the place where they thought they could survive had already become a more intense battlefield. Perhaps, besides surrender, death was the only thing waiting for them tonight.

Murong Licheng, who continued to command the Hu Ben Army to pursue the victory, received news from Li Mu who sent someone to the first time.

"General Li has personally led his troops into Zijing Pass! I ask General Murong to fight and make a quick decision, go for support, and achieve the final victory together."

All the soldiers around who heard this news were greatly energetic. General Li's troops were so fast. Since that's the case, what else should I worry about? They all forgot about fatigue, shouted and fought bravely, sweeping by like tigers chasing the flock of sheep.

Along the way, the bodies of the Yan army were everywhere. This retreat was really tragic. Under the indiscriminate killing of the Hu Ben Army, it was almost impossible for anyone to escape in the end.

Not long after, amid the galloping horses, the tall city wall of Zijing Pass could be seen. And inside and outside the heavy city, the fierce battle was not over yet. Murong Li City raised his spear high and gave the order again.

"The whole army obeys the orders, there is no need to enter the city. Annihilation of the Yan army outside the city is the task of our Hu Ben army!"

Although he joined forces for the first time, Murong Licheng had great confidence in Li Mu. He believed that since the other party had already attacked the Zijing Pass, he would definitely be able to control the overall situation in the city. Therefore, he made a quick decision and issued such an order to the Hu Ben Army.

Everyone followed the order with gaze. A sword light was like snow, cutting through the dark night and heading towards Zijing Pass. The final decisive battle began.

In fact, Li Mu did better than he expected. This rising general raided the left army camp outside the city with half of his troops. The other half, whom he personally led, took advantage of the opportunity of Yan's army leaving the city to rescue, attacked him unprepared, and unexpectedly, the entire army burst out and broke into the city!

Li Mu, who is familiar with military books, was strict and tidy. The Zhao army, who followed him from Shangcheng, continued to improve his level in battle. In such a short time, he had truly tempered into a strong army. The so-called "quiet as a virgin, moving as if he was away from a rabbit" is the highest level of raids on the battlefield.

In the Battle of Zijing Pass tonight, Li Mu's battlefield command level was most perfectly reflected.

The military strategy says, "When you cross halfway, you can win." Although the situation is different, the principles are the same. The Yan army's troops left the city and left halfway, which is a good time to attack. Li Mu has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so of course he will not miss it.

The Yan army blocked inside and outside the city gate immediately became chaotic when the Zhao army, which was divided into three groups, was blocked and killed. Especially just now, many people watched their generals shoot down from the city with one arrow and died on the spot. The morale of the army was in chaos and was out of control.

Under the courageous rush of the Zhao army, the city gate was lost in less than a quarter of an hour. Countless soldiers of Yan died on both sides of the moat. In this case, even if the defenders on the city were trying to force the suspension bridge to pull up or close the city gate, it would be too late. Perhaps, the only thing they could do was to keep shooting arrows down, trying to use dense rain of arrows to block the Zhao army's speed of entering the city.

However, such a method was useless. Although the condescending feather arrows caused certain casualties to the Zhao army, they also shot many of their own soldiers at the same time. Opposite were sword mountains and shields, and there were deadly feather arrows on their heads kept shooting down. Even the brave men who were still thinking of resisting could only retreat continuously.

When the Zhao army vanguard, who was carrying the shield, rushed into the city gate in the iron-blooded battle, it was even more difficult to stop their steps. In a short while, the city gate was lost. Most of the Zhao army drove straight in.

The Yan army guarding the city was forced to retreat. After persisting in the streets and alleys for another half an hour, there was heavy casualties and there was no point in sticking to it. Less than a few thousand people left fled from other city gates and fled to their own lives.

When the sky was bright, the basic situation in the city had been decided. Li Mu immediately ordered to guard the four gates and began to eliminate the remaining enemies in the city. Almost at the same time, on the battlefield outside Zijing Pass, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, it was approaching the end.

The Yan army who had left the city earlier, like the more than 10,000 troops in the Zuo Army camp, had a miserable end. After the Hu Ben Army arrived, they almost had the fate of being massacred.

The sky finally brightened again. All the soldiers of Zhao who fought overnight were already very tired. But each of them had a heroic look on their faces. Looking at the battlefield where there were no enemies, everyone knew very well how important their victory was!

"General Murong, thank you for your hard work! Hahaha!"

Li Mu, wearing a ray of light, stood at the city gate, looking at Murong Licheng riding on his horse. He stretched out his arms and smiled with a sympathetic smile on his face. The young general jumped off the horse, and the blood on his armor had not dried yet, he stretched out his arms at the same time, and the two of them hugged each other. He felt extremely happy in his heart.

"General Li is mighty! Zhao's army... ten thousand victories!"

As if they felt the mood of the two of them, the soldiers of Zhao who gathered together again also shouted in unison.

"The general is mighty! Zhao's army wins thousands of victories! The king... wins thousands of victories! wins thousands of victories!"

The city pass is majestic, and the mountains and rivers are shaking. The generous Zhao man has infinite passion in his heart. They have never been eager to meet greater challenges like they are now. And their generals have never disappointed them. Li Mu let go of Murong Licheng's arms, his eyes flashed with light, and he shouted.
