Early the next morning, Zhao Zheng urgently urged Yu Fan to take command and go out fifty miles away to pursue the remaining troops of Beimang.
It is hard to disobey the emperor's orders. In the court, Yu Fan still has the support of his father Yu Zhong and his elder sister, the Queen Mother Yu. But outside the customs, it becomes the emperor Zhao Zheng who has the final say.
Yu Fan did not dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to go into battle. He went to the military camp and ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses, opened the gate of Yanmen Pass, and set out to the north in a mighty manner.
Before leaving, Zhao Zheng personally took Xiong Wei, Cao Yun and other generals to see him off.
Emperor Daqian took Yu Fan's hand and said sincerely:
"Commander Yu, you are the lieutenant general of my army in Da Gan, and you are also the beloved son of Prime Minister Yu. You are the face of Da Gan and the commander I rely on most! In today's battle, we can only succeed, not fail! If If you fail, raise your head to see me, do you hear me?"
Yu Fan almost vomited blood after hearing this.
Zhao Zheng is flattering him to kill him!
Fortunately, he was also smart and quickly found a place for himself under the steps and declined:
"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. The general can only promise to go all out. As for the final victory..."
Zhao Zheng didn't give him a chance to finish his words at all, he patted his shoulder hard and said:
"Commander Yu is being humble. Commander Yu will definitely win this battle! The Beimang people I killed yesterday abandoned their helmets and armor, and their morale is completely gone. If you can't defeat the remaining defeated generals in Beimang today, what else will I have left for you?" Use it? It’s better to chop it to death and feed it to the dog, right? Hahahaha..."
This may seem like a joke, but in fact it reveals a strong murderous intent.
Xiong Wei and Cao Yun also started laughing next to them, which made Yu Fan feel scared in his heart.
He knew that this was Zhao Zheng's method, and he was afraid that he would have to fight to the death today. If he really lost the battle, Zhao Zheng would never let him go.
Thinking of this, Yu Fan's face turned pale, he cupped his hands towards Zhao Zheng and said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will return with complete victory!"
Zhao Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"That's enough! It's getting late, Commander Yu, please send troops quickly!"
Yu Fan did not dare to neglect, and immediately went into battle, leading the army to leave Yanmen Pass and advance towards the grassland.
At the same time that Yu Fan was sending troops, news had already been received from the direction of Beimang.
The Beimang people are good at domesticating falcons. Their sentinels can make the falcons hover in the sky to monitor enemies in the distance. If there is any disturbance on the Daqian side, the falcon will see it in the sky and fly according to a certain trajectory to inform the sentinels below.
Therefore, Yu Fan's every move cannot escape Bei Mang's eyes.
Yesterday, Zhao Zheng used 500 dead men to kill all the soldiers. Beimang soldiers were all holding fire in their stomachs. Now that they heard that Daqian's army was making a comeback, all the Beimang barbarians were gearing up and eager to try, waiting. Seek revenge against them.
The commander of the first army, the White Horse Spear God, was even more eager to avenge yesterday's cutting off his gun and cutting off his robe. He immediately put on a new gun, put on a new robe, got on his horse, and led his troops into formation.
the other side.
Yu Fan led his soldiers to attack for fifty miles and finally arrived at the military camp in Beimang.
A quick calculation revealed that they had just set up camp here yesterday. The camp's defenses must not have been built yet, so this was a great opportunity to attack.
In addition, Zhao Zheng was pressing hard to ensure that Yu Fan won a complete victory. In desperation, Yu Fan did not care about military strategies. As soon as he saw Beimang's camp, he pointed forward and shouted loudly. :
"The whole army attacks!"
"Daqan soldiers, charge with me!"
After saying that, he raised his spear and leaped his horse, and led the team into the Beimang camp. Unexpectedly, he burst open the gate and broke in. Yu Fan was shocked to find that the camp was completely empty. Not to mention the Beimang barbarians, there was even a horse and a dog. nothing.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Fan's heart thumped and he secretly said something was wrong:
"Oops! I fell into a trap!"
"Withdraw quickly! Withdraw troops quickly!"
Unfortunately, it is too late to make amends. At this time, a cry of killing was heard from both sides of the military camp. Beimang's cavalry suddenly surrounded them from a distance, trapping Daqian's soldiers in the military camp!
It turned out that Beimang sentries had long monitored the movements of Daqian's army through falcons. The White Horse Spear God had laid a trap in advance, waiting for Yu Fan to fall into the trap before launching a sneak attack.
Now being surrounded by Beimang's cavalry, Daqian's soldiers instantly became confused. General Yu Fan was so frightened that he couldn't even think of leading his soldiers to fight back on the spot. He rode a tall horse and fled!
"There's an ambush! Retreat!"
"There's an ambush! Quickly cover my retreat!"
The soldiers originally wanted to fight to the death, but when they looked up, they saw that their coach was the first to take the lead as a deserter!
Some soldiers with backbone couldn't help but asked loudly:
"Master Daqian, how can you run away?"
"Our soldiers are fighting to the death, so why is the commander greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"We don't have a cowardly coach like you in Daqian!"
"Yu Fan! Are you worthy of being a general of Da Gan?"
"..."
But at the critical moment of life and death, how could Yu Fan care about these things?
He smiled coldly and said stiffly:
"You only have one life, and it's all over when you die! You nameless people want to die, so don't keep me company! I am the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, and I have endless glory and wealth, so I can't die in such a ghost place!"
After saying that, he rode his war horse and fled. In order to carve out a passage, he even trampled on several Daqian infantrymen and knocked them to the ground!
But the more he concentrates on being a deserter, the more dangerous he becomes.
Because at this time, Daqian’s army was surrounded by Beimang!
Just when Yu Fan rushed out of the army and thought he was in a safe area, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far away, followed by a Beimang general in silver armor and white robes, holding a spear and wearing a beast mask on his face. Coming on horseback, it was none other than the famous White Horse Spear God!
Yu Fan looked up and felt a thump in his heart!
"Oops! What bad luck! Why did I meet this evil star!"
The white-horse spearman was slashed by Zhao Zheng with a big knife yesterday. He was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent. Now he bumped into Yu Fan and saw that he was wearing gorgeous equipment. He looked like a high-ranking general in Daqian. He immediately gave up. Show mercy and stab with a gun!
Although Yu Fan has a very high military rank, he is still a loser who relies on connections to get to the top. Whether it is marching, fighting, or martial arts, his skills are ordinary. How can he be the opponent of Beimang's White Horse Spear God?
The two fought for only three rounds before the White Horse Spear God spotted Yu Fan's flaw and stabbed him in the throat with his spear!
There was just a "puff" sound, and a fistful of blood spattered out. The dignified and capable general of the Chinese army, the eldest son of Prime Minister Yu Zhong, was stabbed to death by the white horse spearman and rolled off the horse!
The White Horse Spear God snorted coldly, took out a dagger from his waist, cut off Yu Fan's head, and hung his head on the war horse.
When the Daqian soldiers saw their commander being killed, they immediately panicked!
The morale that Zhao Zheng finally managed to build up yesterday was gone in an instant!
