The war horse under a general was frightened by the tiger, and immediately ran around like crazy, throwing the general away.
The general rolled around on the ground, stood up quickly, and killed a wild wolf that rushed towards him with a knife. He shouted: "Don't mess around, deal with these beasts first!"
As he spoke, the general pointed to a tiger that was biting a soldier: "Pikeman, stab it to death!"
For a moment, the soldiers holding spears around the general swarmed up, surrounded the tiger, and then stabbed the tiger with their spears.
The tiger sensed the danger and wanted to break out of the siege, but spears were stabbed from all directions. In an instant, there were more than ten bloody holes in its body.
The tiger howled and still resisted with bared fangs and claws, but the spear stabbed it again and again, and finally it could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
After killing a tiger with his own hands, the soldiers' faces were full of excitement, and it seemed that most of their fear of these beasts had disappeared.
Soon, other soldiers also reacted and took advantage of their numerical advantage to surround and kill the beasts that rushed in.
At the same time, the barbarians who were like madmen also rushed over, slashing at the Qizhou soldiers with their axes wildly.
The two sides fought together instantly, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Barbarian didn't seem to know the pain. Even if he was stabbed several times, he would continue to attack Qizhou soldiers as long as he was still alive.
Even if some barbarians were stabbed to the vital point, they would chop the ax in their hands on the heads of Qizhou soldiers before they died.
Soon, the Qizhou soldiers were suppressed by Barbarian's madman-like fighting style, and the front army gradually showed signs of defeat.
Li Feng, who was standing on the hillside directing the battle, saw this and quickly said to the deputy general beside him: "Send a signal to Xiang Bohou and let them launch an attack!"
The deputy general quickly raised the flag in his hand and waved it toward the mountain peak not far away.
When the soldiers on the mountain saw this, they quickly lit the haystack in front of them with fire sticks, and smoke curled up.
"Master Hou, there is smoke!" In the forest, a young general pointed at the black smoke on the mountain peak and shouted.
"This is a signal from King Qi to us. They have entangled the main force of the barbarians. Now is a good time for us to attack the flanks of the barbarians!"
With that said, Wu Qi drew out the sword from his waist: "Brothers, charge forward with me, charge forward!"
"Kill the barbarian!"
The officers and soldiers of the imperial army roared, rushed out of the mountains and forests, and attacked the flanks of the barbarians.
With the addition of the imperial army, the pressure on the frontal battlefield was suddenly reduced, and the Qizhou soldiers also launched a counterattack, pushing back the barbarian army that was constantly advancing.
When Li Feng saw this, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up, these barbarians were nothing more than that.
But soon, Li Feng realized something was wrong. Why were there only barbarians on the battlefield? Where were King Pingnan's troops?
Just as he was thinking about this, Li Feng suddenly saw neat military formations appearing quietly from behind the barbarian army, heading straight towards the imperial army.
King Pingnan's infantry appeared!
After King Pingnan defeated Bei Yan's 100,000 cavalry, he captured many war horses. In addition to these infantry, there should be tens of thousands of cavalry. Where are these cavalry?
Before Li Feng could react, a scout hurried over: "Your Majesty, it's not good, there are tens of thousands of fine cavalry coming towards us!"
"Are you here to attack me?"
Li Feng was shocked. There were only thousands of personal guards around him now. He might not be able to stop King Pingnan's cavalry!
And now he is on the hillside. If he takes the initiative to go down the mountain, he is seeking death!
The only plan now is to withdraw the army and defend his king's tent!
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
The Qizhou army began to retreat slowly. When the cavalry who were wandering down the hillside saw this, they turned around and left without lingering.
Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the retreating battlefield. He was suddenly shocked. He had fallen into a trap!
I saw that those wolf-like barbarians did not pursue the retreating Qizhou army, but turned around and surrounded Wu Qi's imperial army.
The purpose of King Pingnan's cavalry was just to force Li Feng to withdraw, thereby eating up tens of thousands of elite troops from the imperial army!
After thinking about this, Li Feng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was actually plotted by King Pingnan.
He and the imperial army are now dependent on each other. No matter which side is eaten, Qizhou's defense will be greatly compromised!
But if we go to rescue the imperial army now...
The barbarians and King Pingnan have launched an encirclement against the imperial army. Li Feng also saw that tens of thousands of barbarians had already set up a formation, just to guard against him!
Moreover, he had just ordered to withdraw his troops. If he attacks again at this time, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced. I am afraid that the imperial army will not be able to rescue him, and his Qizhou army will also have to pay a heavy price.
Behind him is Pucheng, where about 100,000 imperial troops are stationed.
Although they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, if Xiang Bohou dies here, he can take over the one hundred thousand army, which will also be a big improvement to his power.
Anyway, defeat is a foregone conclusion, and it is better to die to the imperial army than to die to the Qizhou army.
After weighing it again and again, Li Feng said to the deputy general on the side: "Send the entire army to withdraw to Pucheng to rest!"
"Your Majesty, that country prince..."
Before the deputy general finished speaking, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth after coming into contact with Li Feng's cold eyes.
The reason why the Qizhou Army chose to confront King Ping Nan here was because they did not want these barbarians to enter the borders of Qizhou.
If they withdraw, they can hold on to the city. But what will happen to the people in the villages outside the city? And if all the tens of thousands of Xiang Bohou's elite soldiers died here...
well……
The lieutenant general sighed secretly. Although he didn't want to, the military orders were overwhelming, so he had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
On the other side, the imperial army led by Wu Qi, the country prince, was still fighting bloody battles. From a distance, he saw that Li Feng's royal flag was missing.
Wu Qi was suddenly shocked. Could it be that Li Feng's grandson sold him?
At this moment, a Qianhu man hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Master Hou, it's bad, the Qizhou army has withdrawn. There are enemies on our flanks and behind us, and we are surrounded!"
"Damn it, Li Feng is a beast!"
Wu Qi cursed angrily, raised his sword and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army breaks out to the rear and fights out!"
(This is not the Wu Qiha in history, but the name is the same.)
Wu Qi knew very well that if he did not break out of the encirclement at this time, he would not be able to escape until the enemy's encirclement was completed!
On a mountain peak not far away, King Pingnan stood next to Wu Tu, looking at the imperial army that was gradually surrounded, with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty is really like a god with his troops, I admire you." Wu Tu said with cupped hands.
He originally thought Qizhou was a tough nut to crack, but now it seems that this tough nut is not that hard to crack.
"Hmph, when this king was fighting, these Qi kings and rural princes were still sucking milk!" King Pingnan smiled disdainfully.
"The Qizhou Army has withdrawn. Wutu, let your people press forward. You must eat these tens of thousands of imperial troops in one fell swoop!"
