Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

There seemed to be an endless rain of arrows falling from the sky.

Then came the black-armored crossbowmen who were fearless in death. Each of them started with a crossbow. After a volley of fire, they drew their long knives from their waists and fought the enemy at close range.

In the third charge, after leaving corpses all over the mountains and plains, Wu Xiang's Fengyang Mansion army was still pinned down in the high mountains of Dacanling, unable to move forward for three whole hours.

"Is this the legendary most elite infantry and cavalry of the Ming Dynasty?"

Qin Erbao had the most powerful infantry and armored soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

And Lu Xiangsheng's command is the pinnacle of light cavalry in the world.

Wu Xiang's Fengyang Mansion army, with nearly five times the number of people, was still defeated in charge after charge.

You know, on the battlefield, once the number of people exceeds tens of thousands, every time it doubles, it will be a huge difference, and it will be an insurmountable ravine.

However, today's battle at Dacanling made Wu Xiang feel the gap in combat power for the first time.

and a deep sense of hopelessness.

With such a powerful army at his command, who in the world can stop Wang Qi?

Moreover, this person does not seem to have any intention of becoming emperor.

Does he just want to bring peace to the people of all ages?

Wu Xiang was wearing armor. He was now at a high place, looking at the camp of the Liaodong army in the distance. He was speechless for a long time.

"Today, I have seen the strength of the Liaodong cavalry," Wu Sangui stood behind his father, the unruly look on his face had long since disappeared, turning into horror and shock: "Our army suffered 20% of the casualties at five times the number, and it still remains the same. You can’t shake the opponent’s defense.”

Call! !

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu came on horseback.

"The casualties are too great. The opponent's will and fighting power are too strong. We can't attack anymore." As soon as he got off his horse, Zuo Liangyu complained: "I have never seen such a force that is not afraid of death... We can't fight again." If we go down, we will collapse first."

At this time, Zuo Liangyu felt more and more prescient about his decision to escape before the battle last time.

Such a powerful army is extremely invincible.

Anyway, Zuo Liangyu felt that he was far out of reach.

"We have been delayed here for three hours." Wu Xiang did not look back, but closed his eyes slightly, looking a little tired: "I am worried that something will happen to Xiang Quanzhong's troops outside Chuzhou Prefecture during the delay!"

"What can happen in just three hours?" Zuo Liangyu didn't want to lead his troops to attack the steel-like defense line anymore. He secretly said: "The main force of Liaodong is with us. He only has Xiang Quanzhong. Xiong Tingbi's 5,000 people, why, more than 10,000 people against 5,000 people, can't they not hold out for three hours? Doesn't Xiang Quanzhong claim to be the number one military minister in Nanjing? I want to see if he lives up to his reputation! "

"Xiong Tingbi is nothing to worry about. The main thing is," Wu Xiang tightly grasped the sword at his waist: "The main thing is Wang Qi. This man has always been unpredictable in his military use, and since the war started, no one knows where he is!"

"Wang Qi..." Zuo Liangyu licked his lips and his face became gloomy: "This person doesn't have to come out at all. As long as he releases the news that Wang Qi is coming to Fengyang Mansion, the whole world's attention will be attracted. , our pressure will increase sharply!"

"Father, what should we do now?" Wu Sangui sighed and turned to look at his father: "If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the battlefield within three or four days."

"Second the order, the entire army will stop attacking and return to camp to rest. At the end of the day tomorrow, the attack will resume. This time, I will personally take charge of the Liaodong Army and kill them all in one fell swoop!" Wu Xiang shook his fist fiercely: "Absolutely We can't waste time here!" "Sir," Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment and said, "The general has an idea."

"Huh?" Wu Xiang frowned slightly. He didn't like anyone to oppose him, and there were so many military orders on the battlefield that there was no room for any extra thoughts.

But facing the son whom he valued the most, Wu Xiang still spoke in a slower tone: "Let's talk about it."

"The battlefield of the Yangtze River is the first battlefield of our court at present. There must be no mistakes. If Xiang Quanzhong's troops are annihilated, the significance of our being here will be minimal." Wu Sangui handed over his hand: "The final general is willing to lead five thousand troops. Bypassing Dacang Ridge, passing Langya Mountain, and rushing thousands of miles to Chuzhou Prefecture!"

As soon as Wu Sangui said this, before Wu Xiang could say anything, Zuo Liangyu on the side had already mocked: "Do you know how many miles the Dacang Mountains go from east to west? How steep are the north and south peaks, and how high are they? Bypassing the Dacang Mountains , Crossing Langya Mountain, you said it too lightly."

"We can't just stay here and watch Quanzhong's entire army being annihilated?" Wu Sangui pointed to the Liaodong army camp opposite: "Wang Qi dares to move the main force here. There must be back-up men in Chuzhou City who will annihilate Quanzhong's entire army." Annihilate! We can't take any further now. When the time comes, how can we have the face to meet the Holy One under the city of Nanjing?"

Zuo Liangyu sneered: "I still said the same thing. Dacang Ridge lies across here. It can't be climbed over with just a word. But if you want to go, go over there. Young man, you have to endure some hardships to get over it. growing up!"

"Okay!" Wu Xiang waved his hand and stopped the quarrel between the two: "Wu Sangui went to make preparations. Let's lead the army to set off at the end of the day tomorrow. You can't put all your eggs in one basket."

"General, I obey you!!!" Wu Sangui half-knelt on the ground and received the military order. After standing up, he took a deep look at Zuo Liangyu, then turned and left.

"Governor Wu, you don't think that those five thousand people will be of any use after crossing Dacang Ridge, do you?" Zuo Liangyu sneered, stood behind Wu Xiang, and looked at the direction where the Liaodong Army was stationed in the distance. .

"We can't drag everyone here," Wu Xiang just sighed silently after a while, with a somewhat helpless tone.

"You want to leave a way out for your son, right?" Zuo Liangyu's eyes were a little penetrating: "I can understand."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, Wu Xiang turned his head and looked at Zuo Liangyu: "Wu has a clear conscience."

"Whatever you say," Zuo Liangyu shrugged, "waiting for the decisive battle tomorrow, I want to see if you really go into battle in person and cut down all the Liaodong Army on the other side!"

"At that time, please also ask General Zuo to help Wu!"

Wu Xiang raised his hand to Zuo Liangyu.

"Easy to say, easy to say," Zuo Liangyu chuckled: "However, on the battlefield, anything can happen. Now nearly 100,000 people are trapped here. Sir, please stabilize the morale of the army!"

After saying this, Zuo Liangyu didn't show any courtesy, turned around and took two steps, then got on his horse.

He pulled the reins, sat firmly on it and said, "Food, water, wages and money are all stretched thin, time is running out!"

Taking a deep breath and watching Zuo Liangyu riding away on his horse, Wu Xiang's eyes became cold.

"Somebody come!"

"Sir?" The guard stepped forward and obeyed.

"Keep an eye on Zuo Liangyu. If there is any abnormality in him, come and report to me!"

"As you command!" (End of this chapter)
