Each and every Fengjun became more and more courageous as they fought, receiving weapons with bare hands. It was common for one person to fight against the cavalry. The scarlet blood could no longer bring fear to them. In their hearts, they only had the thought of risking their lives.
When Lan Xu and others came to deliver orders before, Feng Jun only ran away and had no tendency to fight back. Therefore, Zhao Xianzhi, the commander of the cavalry camp who originally led the army, saw that Feng Jun was not interested in fighting and thought it was time for them to wipe out Feng Jun in one fell swoop.
Zhao Xianzhi himself was very qualified and joined the army much earlier than Lan Wu. Although he was determined to perform meritorious service, he did not follow the military orders brought by Lan Xu to withdraw his troops in time. Instead, he continued to pursue Feng's army with more than 20,000 cavalry, and captured Feng's army. The army rushed to the forest. During this period, Lan Xu repeatedly advised him to withdraw his troops. However, Zhao Xianzhi felt that Lan Xu was a bit troublesome and never paid attention to Lan Xu, who had lower qualifications.
As a result, due to the complex terrain of the forest area, he delayed the cavalry's offensive after a short period of fighting. In addition, Feng Jun launched a counterattack against them as if they were greatly stimulated. The two sides started a fierce battle. The battle started again, and all the Xing Army became Feng Jun's eyes. The powerful enemy with hatred as deep as the sea, full of anger, each Fengjun directly faced the fear in his heart, even if they died, they would not let Xingjun easily get his wish.
Under the fierce counterattack of those Fengjun who were not afraid of death, the spirit of preferring death to surrender infected more Fengjun, and more and more Fengjun joined the resistance camp.
In the blink of an eye, the scattered defense lines of the Feng Army were connected from all over the place. Then all the Feng Army shared the same hatred and fought against the Star Army with the determination to die.
Not long after, under their counterattack, those star troops who had risen up to kill finally felt scared. After a while, when those star troops discovered that Feng Jun had gone completely crazy, their inner fear directly evolved into endless fear. It was constantly devouring their will, so that the battle line had a tendency to be reclaimed.
One by one, the Star Troops were pulled off or pulled off their horses by Feng Jun. Due to the limited number of Star Troops joining the battle, the Star Troops' forward movement quickly stopped. Not long after, the Star Troops in front became clearly defeated. , and out of control.
Seeing the enemy's counterattack becoming more and more fierce, in desperation, Lan Xu and several generals who accompanied him had no choice but to join the battle, but their role was not great. After Feng Jun spontaneously chose to resist, they all performed bravely and sacrificed their lives. It is extremely common to seek righteousness. All in all, Feng Jun's performance has made them feel scared from the bottom of their hearts. In the final analysis, Xing Jun is also an ordinary martial artist.
In the past, they showed bravery and good fighting skills entirely because of their own strong momentum, but now their morale has been frustrated, and the generals above have improper command, so their performance is naturally not as good as before.
Fortunately, the general who was ordered to come arrived in time and passed Lan Wu's military order to Zhao Xianzhi and others. The generals who originally insisted on pursuing Feng Jun were all heartbroken after receiving the order again. Based on the current unfavorable situation, they wanted to His will to fight to the death with Feng Jun was immediately shaken.
"General Zhao, the marshal has ordered us to withdraw our troops quickly." Lan Xu, who is also the commander of the cavalry camp, has been suppressing his inner anger towards the cavalry camp commander who did not obey his orders. If he had been ordered to lead the troops in the battle at first, It was him, and he had already ordered the withdrawal.
As the commander of the cavalry, Zhao Xianzhi is now in a dilemma. The battle situation has changed. It is difficult for them to show their strength when fighting in the forest. However, when he thinks that he may be severely punished after returning, he is not willing to withdraw immediately, but if he continues If he disobeys the order and causes the cavalry to suffer more losses, then he will face more than ordinary punishment. After some calculations, Zhao Xianzhi finally gritted his teeth and directly ordered: "The entire army retreats."
After a military order, the Star Army fighting in various places received instructions one after another. From the back to the front, the Star Army began to retreat. In the chaos, some cavalry standing in front of the line were unable to escape, and each of them was stabbed with spears by the pursuing Feng Army. Death, death is extremely miserable.
The trees were a great hindrance to the Star Army's evacuation. The Star Army did not evacuate very quickly, and the Feng Army kept chasing them. The Feng Army wanted to tear the Star Army into pieces. Therefore, under the excitement of the crowd, those who were pursued by them Every one of the star troops on board died miserably.
After most of the Star Army withdrew from the forest area, the screams from behind finally subsided. Soon, the distance between the two sides increased to hundreds of meters. The Feng Army could not catch up with the horse-riding Star Army with only its legs. , unless you chase them all the way to the original battlefield.
After continuing to pursue the Star Army for a certain distance, the Feng Army generals saw that they were too far apart, so they had no choice but to order the withdrawal. After stopping running, the excitement of the original battle still remained on the faces of each Feng Army.
On the other side, after more than 20,000 cavalrymen retreated to a safe area, they just met the Arrow Camp personnel who came to help. After the two sides met, they all stopped. After meeting with the new Arrow Camp leader, Zhao Xianyi, the Cavalry Camp leader, looked ashamed. Recalling the meeting last night, Lan Wu clearly told him not to rush forward after greed for credit. He no longer knew how to go back to Lan Wu to ask for credit. Originally, he should have led his men back to ask for credit, but now he could only take his men back to ask for forgiveness. There was a huge contrast. He really regretted it.
Similar to Zhao Xianzhi's mood at the moment, the generals who had previously agreed to pursue the Feng Army were also in trouble. They originally won the battle, but now it felt like they had suffered a defeat. Many people no longer had the high spirits they had when they pursued the Feng Army. On the contrary, they were still a little embarrassed. Facing the General Arrow Camp who had just arrived, everyone felt like they couldn't hold their heads up.
"General Lan, the marshal ordered me to return as soon as possible." The commander of the Arrow Camp who came with the troops did not go to talk to General Zhao. He looked directly at Lan Xu and conveyed Lan Wu's order.
"Well, let's go back immediately." After taking a look in the direction where Feng Jun retreated, Lan Xu found that there was no Feng Jun in front of him, only the corpse of Feng Jun left on the ground. In fact, Lan Xu couldn't annihilate all Feng Jun. He also felt regretful, but he trusted Lan Wu's approach more.
After nodding to the commander of the Arrow Camp, Lan Xu rode back directly without looking at Zhao Xianzhi next to him. When he brought Lan Wu's military order, their side was in a good situation, but Zhao Xianzhi insisted on disobeying the military order, causing the cavalry to fall into a trap in the end. The morale of the predicament was dampened, and the gain outweighed the gain. If it were him, he would rather kill fewer people than dampen the morale of the cavalry soldiers. But now it was too late. Thinking of this, he drove his horse back even more anxiously.
An hour later, Lan Xu and others returned to the battlefield with more than 30,000 soldiers safely.
On the chariot, Lan Wu saw that the army was not in a hurry, and he was completely relieved. After calculation, the actual battle between the two armies should not be long, and it can be inferred that they will not suffer too many casualties.
"Marshal, General Lan and the others are back!" On the chariot, Lan Ze was also paying attention to the Star Army's return formation. The cavalry were neatly dressed and there was nothing wrong with them. After calming down a little, he worriedly asked Lan Ze Wu asked: "Marshal, our cavalry won't suffer a lot of casualties, right?"
"No." Looking at the cavalry formation again, Lan Wu then thought that the defenders at the city gate would come to join them soon, and he no longer needed to worry.
Also because they saw their cavalry coming back, the Star Army generals who were guarding the prisoners were relieved, but they didn't know the specific battle situation there.
Different from the mood of all the Star Army generals, the Feng Army was in despair. The Star Army's calm return meant that Zhao Tianyi failed to come back to save them, and their lives would be controlled by the Star Army from now on.
The few battles between them and the Star Army were not separated by too long, but it was enough to make both sides hate each other. Now the Phoenix Army personnel are worried about how Lan Wu will deal with them.
Regardless of the situation of those Feng troops, General Lan ordered people to drive away after passing on further instructions, accompanied by several generals.
The Star Army won a complete victory today. After returning, Lan Wu will reward the generals for their merits.
On the way back to the city, the generals who made no mistakes were naturally happy, while those who made mistakes were worried.
In any case, after Lan Wu left, some Star Army generals directly divided the more than 10,000 prisoners into several teams and escorted them back. The remaining people cleaned the battlefield while monitoring the surrounding situation.
If Feng Jun dared to fight back, Lan Xu, who was left behind to take charge, would rush directly towards them with the defenders coming from the city gate.
Two hours later, the battlefield was cleared. Lan Xu ordered his soldiers' bodies to be delivered to the city gate. It would be best if someone claimed them. If no one claimed them, they would find a place to bury them outside the city.
Feng Jun's corpses were piled together as before, and then burned. Xing Jun had no duty to bury those corpses, but they could not let those corpses rot. Not only were those corpses very close to the city gate, but they were not properly disposed of now. It would also have an impact on their future marches. As for the harvest, the Feng Army withdrew in a hurry without bringing any food, grass or baggage. The entire camp was owned by them.
