After standing there for a long time, Lu Yunyou slowly looked away. It might have just been night, but there was a hint of warmth in the wind, which was long-lost and fresh. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lu Yunyou slowly felt the situation in his body.
Since the last improvement of his true energy, his cultivation level has entered a stagnant state. He doesn't know if there will be any changes in the future, but his idea has not changed. He will practice as long as he has time. Therefore, when he sees many people around him, After Xingjun practiced, Lu Yunyou quickly got up and found an open place.
Time and time again, he was completely tireless. He wanted to integrate his sword skills into his body skills as much as possible, which required constant practice. In this way, Lu Yunyou practiced until the generals woke up everyone who was still sleeping.
The sky was filled with stars, and the sky in the canyon was especially open. At the request of the general above, Lu Yunyou returned to the original array, and then joined the others to make preparations for their departure at dawn.
The situation was very different from when they came. Now they were a victorious army. The generals above were not in a hurry to go back, and they also brought provisions and baggage. They couldn't go any faster even if they wanted to. The only thing they were anxious about was to bring the news of the victory. go back.
Different from the results of the actions of Lu Yunyou and his star army, in the southwest, a star army with a number of 40,000 people ended up losing both sides to the Feng Army. To be precise, it should be lost to the Feng Army.
The original battlefield was a plain area in a hilly area. Originally, the army wanted to take advantage of the flat terrain to take advantage of the cavalry, but the actual situation did not develop in the direction they expected.
The Feng Army they were chasing suddenly changed its direction when marching to the plains and headed towards the mountains, deviating from its original marching route.
At that time, Feng Jun's sudden move made many Star Army generals realize that the other side might have noticed their presence, so they deliberately avoided that section of the road with flat terrain. However, Zhao Xianzhi, the commander of the cavalry camp who led the troops, ignored this possibility.
Zhao Xianzhi was very angry when he failed to ambush the opponent at the expected place. Seeing the Feng army getting farther and farther away from the trap location they originally planned to set, he finally decided to confront Qi Wan Feng head-on because he could not find any other suitable combat location. military confrontation.
At that time, Zhao Xianzhi's decision was recognized by many generals of the cavalry camp, but there were many dissenters among the generals of the other two battalions. Unfortunately, that small group of people failed to change Zhao Xianzhi's decision.
After the Feng army entered the mountainous area, Zhao Xianzhi directly ordered a surprise attack on the Feng army from the rear, considering that it would be more disadvantageous for the enemy's troops to go deep into the mountains.
Before their attack, although the marching route of the Feng Army had changed, their schedules were normal and there was no special behavior. The situation was the same as that of the Feng Army that Lu Yunyou and the others attacked. Many of the Feng Army soldiers also showed signs of exhaustion from marching for days. , the military appearance was very poor. Before the war, the Star Army sentry sent back such information to their general. This was also an important reason why Zhao Xianzhi decided not to consider the terrain too much and was eager to go to war.
Later, Zhao Xianzhi led 40,000 star troops to launch a war with Feng Jun. The previous speculations of several generals that the traces of the Star Army were discovered by Feng Jun were directly verified. When Zhao Xianzhi rushed over with a large group of troops, Feng Jun was well prepared. The formation was not chaotic at all. After a round of bow and arrow shooting, each of the Feng soldiers changed their original tired look and started fighting with the Star Army.
The two sides fought in a narrow place, with 70,000 Feng troops surrounding the 40,000 Star Army. The Feng Army's tenacious resistance overwhelmed the Star Army head and tail. Especially after falling into a tight siege, they originally wanted to catch Feng Army by surprise. The Star Army was afraid that the formation would be in chaos, and the fatigue of many days of marching would have many adverse effects on the soldiers at critical moments, causing each Star Army to lose its due combat effectiveness.
Soon after the two armies fought, the Star Army's cavalry camp was the first to fall into a tight siege and was separated by the Feng Army. The Feng Army carried out a massacre of the 10,000 cavalry. Due to the obstruction of the offensive, the cavalry could not break through the Feng Army's defense, so that the rear horsemen Crowded with horses and crowded with people, only less than one-tenth of the 10,000 cavalry could actually participate in the battle. The inability of so many cavalry to exert their combat effectiveness made the Feng Army's resistance even more tenacious.
After the battle went on for a certain period of time, the Star Army fell one after another. The battlefield was filled with the desperate cries of the Star Army. The situation was extremely unfavorable. It was not until everyone was surrounded by the enemy that Zhao Xianzhi, who was commanding the battle, discovered that he was What a mistake he made. He not only underestimated the strength of the Feng Army, but also started a war with the Feng Army in a place where the terrain was extremely unfavorable to his own side.
Two big mistakes directly laid the foundation for the failure. But when he wanted to withdraw his troops, it was also more difficult for the Star Army to retreat than he thought due to the terrain.
Having said that, the Feng Army, which had been prepared for a long time, was pretending to be exhausted. Privately, the Feng Army generals had been busy boosting morale. Everyone in the Feng Army was taking a good rest. After knowing the existence of the Star Army, they had been dealing with it. Star Army preparations.
After knocking down the arrogance of the Star Army, everyone in the Feng Army realized that the Star Army's combat power was not much stronger than theirs, and they tried their best to kill the Star Army one by one. Fortunately, the Star Army finally experienced a few battles. The warriors and soldiers all know some fighting skills, unlike some of the previous Feng soldiers who would just wait to die in the face of bad situations.
In the middle of the war, Zhao Xianzhi'ao ignored the advice of the accompanying infantry commander and prepared to withdraw. Although they were a little embarrassed, in the end they escaped with more than 20,000 people, and of course, they also left the bodies of nearly 20,000 soldiers on the battlefield. .
When retreating, the fleeing Star Army felt very aggrieved. They didn't understand why they were defeated and fled. Each one of them was holding back their anger. As a result, during the retreat, they started a fight with the pursuing Feng Army. Feng Jun, who was finally killed, did not dare to pursue anymore and sacrificed some of his soldiers.
After the war, the overall casualties of the Phoenix Army were only half of the casualties of the Star Army, and most of the Phoenix Army who died in the battle died while chasing the Star Army. On the contrary, the Star Army naturally suffered minimal casualties during the defeat and retreated. After arriving at the safe area, Zhao Xianzhi wanted to lead his troops to fight back, thus catching Feng Jun off guard.
Unfortunately, other generals did not agree with his proposal, and the soldiers who finally resisted Feng Jun's pursuit were all exhausted after Feng Jun retreated. For two reasons, Zhao Xianzhi had to give up the idea of fighting back.
After discussion, Zhao Xianzhi had no choice but to lead his troops back to Lancheng against everyone's wishes. Not long after they marched back, they received news that another star army had won a complete victory.
The Star Army not far from them only numbered 20,000, but the enemy army they wanted to annihilate numbered 30,000. Using an ambush, the 20,000 Star Army almost wiped out the 30,000 Phoenix Army.
When the news of the victory of the Star Army came, General Yigan persuaded Zhao Xianzhi to lead his troops to join the Star Army to ensure safety, so that they no longer had to worry about attacks from the Feng Army from behind.
After the two star armies converged, Zhao Xianzhi went directly to another infantry battalion commander to discuss how to defeat the Fengjun army they had fought with before, but Yuan Shaocheng, the infantry battalion commander who led the troops, firmly refused to pursue the Fengjun army.
Firstly, after a big battle, there were many wounded in their army. Secondly, the Phoenix army had entered the mountainous area and was on guard against them. If they took the risk to pursue them, they would probably be ambushed by the enemy. Not only would this If you can't take revenge, you will have to take the lives of more star troops.
Moreover, the military strength of both sides is almost the same now, and there is no geographical advantage to use. It is impossible for them to defeat the enemy with absolute superiority. So after considering various factors, Yuan Shaocheng firmly disagreed with Zhao Xianzhi's proposal, even though the two had a very good relationship before. In the end, Zhao Xianzhi had no choice but to go back with Yuan Shaocheng to recover his life, carrying a heavy burden of guilt.
Zhao Xianzhi insisted on fighting the enemy, resulting in his own defeat. Zhao Xianzhi violated Lan Wu's premise of fighting with strategies. After returning, he could only accept the crime and be punished. At present, the three armies of the Star Army rushed towards Lancheng one after another.
On the other side, Lan Wu had successfully stationed himself in the center of Lan City with 20,000 soldiers. When the Star Army first arrived that day, countless people who stayed in the city hid in their homes and did not dare to show up, for fear that the Star Army would kill them.
However, not only did the Star Army not do that, Lan Wu also did not order all the people to voluntarily surrender, but only led some people to garrison the city's main palace first.
Most places in the City Lord's Mansion have become ruins. Lan Wu didn't care about the previous actions of destroying and burning the City Lord's Mansion and many buildings in the city, because he would not stay in Aolan City for long.
After temporarily staying in the dilapidated city lord's mansion, Lan Wu ordered people to briefly repair the main hall. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to determine the situation in the city. He did not believe that everyone in the city would escape.
While confirming the situation, Lan Wu also clearly ordered the officers and soldiers of the three armed forces not to use force against civilians, otherwise they will be dealt with according to military law.
