As time went by, the thirty-meter distance from the city gate to the river bank was occupied by more and more Star troops, leaving less and less time for the Feng troops who had not yet crossed the river.
The Star Army almost killed someone every half step forward. In the blink of an eye, the ground was already piled with corpses. When the Star Army pressed down to only a few meters away from the river bank, there was no enemy standing in front of them. Many Feng soldiers were screaming for mercy in the river.
The corpses in the river floated together and connected to the other side of the river bank. The star troops, who were already red-eyed, rushed forward one after another, trying to kill all the Feng troops in the river. However, at the critical moment, Lan Xu raised his sword and shouted. : "The whole army stops, there are our personnel in the river."
The thunderous sound instantly reached the ears of every Star Army, causing many ferocious-looking Star Army soldiers to stop. After the Star Army soldiers reacted one after another, many Star Army generals quickly moved closer to Lan Xu's position, one by one. With smiles belonging to the victors on their faces, after losing to the opponent three times in a row, this time they were finally proud. After a while, all the star troops stopped and waited for Lan Xu's further instructions.
Looking straight towards the other side, Lan Xu's eyes stopped on the Feng Army coach Zhao Tianyi on the chariot.
At the same time, facing Lan Xu's murderous gaze, Zhao Tianyi could hardly remain standing.
"Today's revenge will be repaid tenfold by your star country in the future." After leaving a sentence, Zhao Tianyi flicked his sleeves and ordered to retreat directly.
After a military order was issued, the chariot immediately turned around to worry about what tricks the Star Army would play again. Zhao Tianyi just wanted to bring the remaining Feng Army to a safe position as soon as possible.
"We are waiting for you, Marshal Zhao," when Zhao Tianyi turned around, Lan Xu, who was on the other side of the river bank, decisively put his sword on one side and responded expressionlessly.
"General, should we take advantage of the situation to pursue the enemy?" Seeing that the morale of the Feng army was low and the formation was in disarray, a general next to Lan Xu immediately suggested to Lan Xu.
"No need," Lan Xu shook his head, still remembering Lan Wu's instructions, and directly told everyone: "The marshal has an order. Once the enemy troops retreat, they cannot pursue them."
In fact, Lan Xu also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the Feng army. Now was the best time for them to pursue the enemy, but it was a pity that they also lacked a way to cross the river.
"General, what should we do with the enemy troops still alive in the water?" Just as Lan Xu turned around and prepared to return to the city, some generals immediately asked Lan Xu for instructions when they noticed the people emerging from the city.
"Don't be nervous, those should be our own people now," Lan Xu shouted towards the river: "General Li, General Yang, you all come out."
After he shouted, some heads appeared one after another on the river bank, all of which were Star Army personnel.
After those people all came ashore, the generals next to Lan Xu finally realized that there were people who had been ambushing them in the water. It was obvious that the destruction of the suspension bridge and the enemy's ladders was related to these people.
"Send someone over to help." Seeing that someone seemed to be injured in the water, Lan Xu arranged for some people to go over to help. Lan Xu said to the generals behind him: "Destroying the suspension bridge and setting up an ambush in the water were all the marshal's plans. You guys Don’t be surprised.”
"I see," the next moment, the uninformed generals nodded, because Lan Xu's explanation confirmed their inference.
Soon after, all the star troops who were lurking in the water came ashore. Except for one of the seven generals who died in the battle, the remaining 1,000 soldiers died in more than 300 people. Some of the dead star troops died under the bows and arrows of the Feng army. Some were killed by Feng Jun who went down the river.
After landing, the Star Troopers were covered in blood, and each one had completely lost their original image. Those who went to help could not recognize their identities at all. Fortunately, their smiles confirmed that they were not enemy troops.
Speaking of which, the results of the battle of these thousands of people just now were not inferior to those of the Star Army fighting in the city. Their role in this battle directly determined the outcome of the entire battle.
Although they were in a state of embarrassment, the proud look in the eyes of those star troops could not be concealed, even the ordinary soldiers, let alone the seven generals leading the team.
Relying on the credit of destroying the suspension bridge and the ladder, the role of those generals in tonight's battle was no less than that of Lan Xu, or even better. After many star troops spontaneously cleaned up the six people, the six people's expressions Aoran walked towards Lan Xu with long strides almost at the same time.
"See General Zhao." Because they were lower in rank than Lan Xu, several of them politely gave Lan Xu a military salute. Of course, as the generals who contributed the most to defending the city this time, their speaking momentum was completely different from usual. The moment was filled with the strength of a winner, and the limelight even overshadowed that of Lan Xu at this time.
"These generals have worked hard," he said without any dissatisfaction with the wild tone of their words. Lan Xu recognized their contribution. After handing the sword to a subordinate next to him, he immediately got off his horse and killed the six generals who were covered in blood. He helped him up, and then smiled and said to a few people: "Thanks to the generals who braved the dangers and successfully broke the bridge tonight."
"No, we are just acting according to the marshal's plan," seeing Lan Xu being so polite to them, several generals responded humbly without taking too much credit.
Seeing several people talking about his brother, Lan Xu couldn't help but turn around and look towards the tower, just in time to see Lan Wu at the edge of the tower.
At this moment, Lan Wu was watching the Feng army evacuate with a calm expression. Next to him were two injured Arrow Camp generals. When he noticed Lan Xu and others looking towards him, Lan Wu simply nodded to them and then turned around. Leave.
"Go back to the city," Lan Xu said happily after receiving Lan Wu's affirmation. He just wanted to go back and recover his life as soon as possible. Tonight's battle was a battle to avenge the past. The Star Army was killing everyone with great joy. As the commander of the third battalion, he was naturally the most happy.
"Yes," the other generals also happily accepted the order. They also wanted to return to Lan Wu, because what awaited them would be Lan Wu's reward.
After changing direction with Lan Xu, a dozen generals walked toward the city gate with unusual airs. The soldiers behind them consciously opened a passage for them so that he could pass by.
Immediately afterwards, a group of star troops followed their general back to the city. The battle was over. Their excited feeling gradually passed. After everyone gradually calmed down, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Some people even felt uncomfortable because of the blood all over the floor. The stump of the body vomited, but this only made more people smile.
Not long after, all the star troops returned to the city. Under the instructions of the general above, the pharmacists were already busy treating the injuries of the injured. Some of the uninjured people took care of the injured, and some were ordered to clean up the battlefield. Feng Jun was killed and injured. Too many, leaving too many war horses and weapons. The living war horses are trophies and are of great use to the Star Army. Those weapons can even replenish the losses in tonight's battle. After all, it is very common for weapons to break during the battle between the two armies. thing.
"Seeing the marshal, we are lucky enough to live up to our orders," a dozen generals walked steadily to the main hall in the city, and led by Lan Xu, they all bowed to Lan Wu.
"Without courtesy, tonight's battle was a complete victory. Thank you for your hard work, generals. When General Li and others finish counting the casualties on both sides, I will reward the generals for their merits." After a pause, Lan Wu continued He said: "Now the war has just ended, there are many things in the army, and I still have some things that I need to let you handle."
"Please give the order, General." Seeing that Lan Wu still had something to ask them to do, Lan Xu immediately set an example.
"General Han, you and General Zhou quickly take people to clean up the corpses in the river and collect all the arrows." The next moment, looking at the two generals below, Lan Wu continued: "There are still our troops in the river. The bodies of persons must be distinguished based on their clothing.”
"Lan Xu, you are responsible for leading some personnel to clean up the battlefield outside the city. It is still the same. We must separate the bodies of our troops and the enemy's personnel."
"The last general takes orders."
"General Li, you and General Wei are responsible for leading people to clean up the battlefield in the city."
"I humble my position and take orders."
"General Shi, you and General Zhao and other injured people will go to treat their injuries first, and then come back to assist General Zhou in cleaning up the area above the city." After several military orders, Lan Wu knew that although tonight's battle was over, it was their business It's far from over.
"Yes," the next moment, those who were given the instructions agreed again.
"Now is not the time to celebrate. Everyone is fully cooperating with General Li to count the casualties in accordance with the military order." At the end of the sentence, Lan Wu suddenly emphasized: "If there is nothing else, you will execute the military order immediately."
"Yes," the generals agreed again, and then led by Lan Xu, the group hurriedly left the hall. Although some of them were injured and extremely tired, they did not question Lan Wu's military order, because now They all admired Lan Wu's abilities.
By this time, the city gate had been quiet for a long time, and those who had been following the war from a distance had realized that the war was over.
There was no sound, which meant that either all the defenders were killed or the Feng Army had withdrawn. Due to the fact that the Feng Army breached the city gate before, many people in the city were still thinking about the first possibility. Only people like Lu Yunyou and others Those who were close to the city gate directly concluded from the sound that the Star Army was victorious.
