In just a moment, the spirit army in the front row could no longer withstand it, especially where Peng Shuang was. Although there were many soldiers around, no one dared to come closer within the range of the long sword.
"Don't panic! Don't be confused!"
Fang Zan was still roaring loudly. He was not very far away from Peng Shuang. The latter's eyes flashed, and he immediately pulled the reins, held the knife in one hand, and rushed towards him.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Among the chaotic troops, the horses neighed and their momentum continued unabated. The long sword passed by and broke through the crowd, causing a howl of misery.
ah! ? Fang Zan was shocked. He was just about to make a move when the war horse arrived. Under the sharp cold light, fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. With a clang, the two weapons collided and were separated at the first touch.
Immediately afterwards, Peng Shuang's offensive came again, with his long sword hanging in the wind, striking from top to bottom.
This was an inevitable move. Fang Zan had no choice but to grit his teeth, raise the weapon in his hand, and take a hard blow.
As the metal and iron clashed, his arms shook violently and his shoulders slumped. He was about to use all his strength to deflect the long knife, but who knew that this blow was just a feint by Peng Shuang.
As he was slashing at the foot of Huashan Mountain, the latter shifted his hands and instantly changed his stance. He slashed with his long knife, changed it from a slash to a sweep, and struck straight at his neck.
This speed is too fast! Fang Zan's pupils shrank sharply, with deep fear in his eyes. He lowered his head suddenly, and the cold light of the long knife passed over his head, cutting off a strand of helmet tassel.
oops! He subconsciously screamed, and when he touched the top of his head, his liver and gallbladder suddenly burst into tears. He dared to stop there. Without saying a word, he hurriedly pulled the reins and escaped into the crowd.
"Where are the enemy generals running away!" Peng shouted with both fingers on his sword.
As Fang Zan escaped, the scene suddenly became chaotic. The young general of the Ling Army was afraid of Peng Shuang's reputation, so he did not dare to step forward to fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat! Escape quickly—" —”
In this kind of wild encounter, whoever runs first will be defeated.
The Ling Army soldiers, who were already unable to resist, became even more panicked now. The front row simply gave up resistance and fled in all directions. The rear row also retreated quickly, and they were instantly defeated.
Peng Shuang took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and led a large number of Qin soldiers to pursue them.
And this pursuit lasted for who knows how many miles, until a commander hurried over and said in a panic: "Oh, general, we can't pursue anymore, it's important to leave Chuan!"
"What a shame! I couldn't kill the enemy general!" Peng Shuang felt unwilling and waved his hand and said, "Go back!"
In this small battle, the Qin army turned on and off to fight back, which could be said to have defeated three thousand spiritual troops.
Fang Zan, on his side, rushed all night to get to Lichuan. He didn't get anything done, but was beaten and fled in a hurry.
One can imagine how depressed he feels now.
In a wilderness, the scattered remnants of the defeated troops of the Spiritual Army had almost gathered together. They all had crooked helmets and gray faces. The three thousand troops that had arrived were now less than two thousand.
Thinking of escaping from the sword, Fang Zan was still frightened and couldn't help but ask: "Is the Qin army still pursuing?"
"Already returned to Lichuan." The young general returned, looking also in a miserable state.
"Hateful!" After knowing that he was safe, Fang Zan couldn't help but said angrily after knowing that he was safe: "Peng Shuang has gone too far! This general will settle this debt with him sooner or later!"
The young general beside him heard this, swallowed his saliva, and bravely said: "General, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's hurry back to Jingyang."
These three thousand spiritual troops arrived at Lichuan in the morning, were killed and retreated, and fled back to Jingyang in the afternoon. It can be imagined that the soldiers were exhausted. As soon as they came back, they lay on the ground and never wanted to move again.
Although Fang Zan had a war horse, he was not much better. As soon as he arrived at the military meeting hall, he put down his helmet, picked up the teapot, and drank a large pot of cold tea.
But before his butt could get hot, the Jingyang County Sheriff came over.
"Big Man."
"General." When the two sides met, the Jingyang County Sheriff quickly asked, "How is the situation?"
"Alas!" Fang Zan sighed and said truthfully: "Lichuan has been occupied by the Qin army. I wanted to try to take it back, but I encountered the Qin general Peng Shuang. I was defeated and could only temporarily Withdraw to Jingyang."
"What?" Jingyang County Sheriff's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "There is a Qin general in Lichuan?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect this either." Fang Zan said dullly.
The governor of Jingyang took a deep breath: "I can't blame you. That Peng Shuang is the most brave in the world and is the number one general under the command of King Qin. But I didn't expect that he would be in Lichuan. So, this Qin army is probably an elite one." ah."
"Yes, Lichuan has been lost and it is impossible to recapture it. Now, we can only hold on and wait for reinforcements. We hope that the court will dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible. Otherwise, the follow-up troops of the Qin army will arrive at the front line and cooperate with Peng Shuang of Lichuan to attack Jingyang from front to back. , the situation is not good." Fang Zan said.
The Jingyang County Sheriff also had a solemn look on his face: "The situation here is no longer favorable to me. From today on, the general must not send troops out of the city again and must defend Jingyang."
"Yes, I will understand." Fang Zan responded, but he still had no idea of attacking now.
On the other side, Lianyang County Mansion.
The battle report of Peng Shuang's occupation of Lichuan has been transmitted here through Falcon.
Su Yi was also explaining to a military aircraft leader: "Immediately give an order to General Peng. At all costs, stick to Lichuan and block the main route of Lingguo's reinforcements. Without the highest military order, no unauthorized attacks are allowed. In addition, drinking is prohibited."
"No!" The leader of the Snow Clan took the order and left.
After he left, the commander of Lianyang County said with a smile: "Shuai Su gave such a military order because he was worried that General Peng would get drunk and cause trouble."
"This is my biggest worry." Su Yi said bluntly: "Peng Shuang has the power of a tiger general, but once his temper comes up, he will ignore him, especially after drinking. I have to suppress him with military orders."
At the same time, Lingguo.
In the court meeting hall, the ministers were lined up on both sides. King Ling was furious, threw the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground, and said sternly:
"On the day I ascended the throne, King Qin Xiao Yuan dared to send troops to attack me! This is because he did not take our spiritual country seriously! In this battle, our country will never give in!"
Now, he no longer considers himself the king, but wears the clothes of the emperor.
He ascended the throne, and Xiao Yuan went out to worship the heaven. This was obviously to fight him to a decisive battle and conquer the world, let alone whether to recognize him as the emperor.
When the ministers heard this, there was a small commotion.
Then, Cheng Ping stood up, bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin's use of troops against our country is not a small fight, but a posture with the power of overwhelming the country. According to the available intelligence, the King of Qin mobilized four troops for the first time. The Lu army, totaling more than 600,000 men, marched on four fronts in Fuyang, Jingyang, Dingyuan, and Jianchang."
"In my opinion, the most important thing now is not to discuss war issues, but to garrison these four fronts as soon as possible to prevent the Qin army from invading all fronts."
