In the wilderness from Liyang to Gaochun, an army of about 10,000 soldiers and horses were marching at high speed.
This force is mainly infantry, all riding on cloud chariots, with a small number of cavalry guarding the wings.
When they were about to approach the Gaochun area, the cloud car stopped, and the elite people who were originally in the car quickly got ready and got off. Spread out in all directions according to the marching queue.
The crimson armor and flags gathered into waves.
One of the big flags was flying high. Under the flag were the generals of the Xia army, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhou Panlong, Zhou Fengshu, and Xie Hui, who accompanied the army as a counselor.
There are more than a dozen ships in the river to the south.
General Lu Xun was sitting on top.
Two days ago, Xie Hui and Yuwen Chengdu led their elite troops to drive cloud chariots at the fastest speed, running all the way from Jurong and Jintan to Liyang and Lu Xun.
Install the latest version. 】
Before they arrived, Lu Xun also received Gao Chun's signal and was ready to send troops.
Because of the arrival of Xie Hui and Yuwen Chengdu, the departure time was delayed for a while.
This time Gao Chun faced a siege, and it was difficult for the navy to exert its advantage. Lu Xun left the warships behind and only took a dozen ships to serve as sentinels, using the waterway to find out Gao Chun's intelligence.
The main force of the support, the Jiefan soldiers trained by Lu Xun and the Bai'er soldiers brought by Yuwen Chengdu, gathered into one army and traveled overland in cloud chariots. They could respond to the enemy faster by traveling overland.
The army advanced rapidly, with flags following each other in an orderly manner.
At the marching speed of an ordinary army, without riding a cloud chariot, it would only be able to march dozens of miles on foot every day. If the speed increased, the military formation would not be able to maintain and would fall into disarray if attacked.
Lu Xun and Yuwen Chengdu led the top elite troops, with average strength close to the fourth level.
After forming a military formation for easy marching, the blessing brought by the formation made all the soldiers have a faint aura, and the energy was connected. An invisible wind supported their legs, and they could move at a speed several times that of ordinary soldiers.
Such an extraordinary marching speed does not even consume much physical energy...
"Report, the detective horse reported that our army is close to Gaochun, a hundred miles away, and has already started fighting with the Ming army's detective sentry..."
After half an hour.
A probing horse galloped over, dismounted, and rushed to Yuwen Chengdu to report.
"Explore again!"
Yuwen Chengdu waved Tan Ma to continue to investigate. Zhou Panlong and Zhou Fengshu beside him began to lose their momentum and were secretly ready to take action at any time.
This is the basic quality of a general.
At this time, Lu Xun also got off the boat and joined everyone.
More than a dozen warships continued to fly towards Gaochun at very fast speeds. If important military information is discovered, the waterway and cavalry spies respond at the same time, so that more comprehensive and timely information can be obtained.
As the army entered the Gaochun territory. The Ming army also responded to the elite Xia army who came to support them.
Boom!
About three thousand cavalry came galloping forward. The leading general was carrying a spear, and he was the Ming army general Yu Dayou. Following the cavalry were about thirty thousand infantry.
These infantrymen carried the carriages and formed a large formation of carriages, as if the mountains were extremely solid...
Gaochun City Head.
At this time, it was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Boom!
Flames covered half of the sky, and 30% to 40% of the elite troops of the Beifu Army on top of the city disappeared in just over two days. They couldn't even drive off the enemy soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city.
kill!
Ming general Li Wenzhong's injury never improved after burning Shouyuan's potential. He did not participate in the battle of ninth-level generals. Instead, he led Guo Xing and others to launch a mad attack on the city head.
If generals of their level break into a military formation composed of ordinary soldiers, they can casually start mowing the grass.
Ordinary soldiers are like ants in their eyes, and they can crush a large number of them with one foot.
However, the elite members of the Beifu Army are not ants.
The elites after formation were like a relatively shallow quagmire. Although Li Wenzhong and the others could step through the quagmire, they could not resolve it.
The two armies continued to fight, weapons collided, and the energy roared.
Blood almost covered the entire city wall.
Xie Xuan's Qi was connected to the Beifu Army on the top of the city. As long as the Beifu Army did not collapse or be destroyed, it would always bring him great blessings.
This kind of blessing makes his spiritual thoughts more powerful, and can even vaguely integrate with the laws of heaven and earth.
Even if he was besieged by Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others in turn and constantly injured, he could still rely on his strong will to survive the injury and show great tenacity.
However, Xiao Moke does not have Xie Xuan's strength.
The most powerful general in Nanchen was bleeding profusely all over his body, and most of the tenacious vitality of the ninth-level general had been drained away at this time. There was still a fighting spirit in his chest, so he was still struggling to hold on.
"Suffer death!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, and Xu Da had completely suppressed Xie Xuan at this time.
After learning that reinforcements from the Xia army were approaching.
The fighting spirit of the three broke out again.
Especially Xu Da, who was facing Xiao Moke alone at this time. The spear in his hand was getting faster and faster. The spear had been integrated with the magical power he had mastered. Every blow could tear the void and cause the heaven and earth to be different.
Xiao Moke was severely injured and his strength continued to weaken. Now it would be difficult for him to win a duel with Li Wenzhong.
At this time, Xu Da had no intention of talking to the other party to persuade him to surrender.
The two sides were fighting to this extent, and it was already a fight to the death.
"Xiao Moke!"
puff!
Xu Da let out a long roar, and the spear became a little faster on the basis of the 100% speed it exploded. But it was this slight change that allowed his spear to pass through Xiao Moke's somewhat slow defense.
Weapons containing the destructive power of the law burst into the body.
There was a flash of rainbow light.
Xiao Moke's body became stiff, and a bloody hole appeared in his throat. Blood was scattered in the air like water droplets.
"cough……"
Xiao Moke's vitality was very tenacious. Even after suffering such an injury, he did not die immediately. His eyes were like tiger eyes, full of red.
He glanced at Xu Da with some reluctance. As long as he defended Gaochun, he would be able to make great achievements and gain His Majesty's appreciation...
It's a pity that he can no longer see His Majesty sweeping away the Ming army and dominating the world.
He clutched his throat and could no longer speak.
boom!
After Xu Da drew out his spear, he took action again. The tip of the spear shot out an indestructible air blade. With a sweep across the air, Xiao Moke's head flew up, and a large amount of blood spattered out again.
"Xiao Moke is dead! Why don't you surrender!"
Xu Da's voice spread throughout a radius of more than ten miles.
Both the enemy and ourselves were shocked.
Even the elite of the northern army could not help but feel a slight decline in morale. After all, it was a ninth-level general who died in the battle. Without Xiao Moke, only Xie Xuan was left, and he could not stop the siege of several generals of the Ming army.
"not good……"
Xie Xuan, who was besieged by Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He, was blocked from the left and the right, unable to support Xiao Moke. When he heard this, his expression changed drastically.
His heart sank.
"Hahahaha, well done! General Xie Xuan, you are a famous general. You should be able to see the current situation. If we don't restrain our hands, we will have no choice but to be ruthless!"
After taking down an enemy general.
The anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart dissipated by half, and he couldn't help laughing. Facing a famous general like Xie Xuan, even at a critical moment of life and death, he never forgot to give him advice.
Although it is impossible for Xie Xuan to surrender, what if it happens. It's just a sentence and it doesn't take much effort.
"Our army's reinforcements have arrived. In my opinion, you should abandon your armor! My Lord has always been merciful. If you can obey the fate and obey the orders, you will not lose your position as a prince..."
Xie Xuan was still a little shocked.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang's offensive paused for a moment, he glanced around and did not see Yu Dayou, and he suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart.
Not long ago, he sent a message to Lu Xun, asking him to send troops to support.
Counting the time, Lu Xun should be arriving soon!
If it weren't for this reason, how could Yu Dayou be missing from the battlefield?
"pity!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change, but he showed a look of regret, and then shouted sharply: "Tiande, the three of us brothers will take action together to send General Xie Xuan away!"
Xu Da, who had just killed Xiao Moke, nodded slightly and turned into a rainbow and rushed into the battle circle where the three were fighting.
With the addition of Xu Da, who was not weak in martial arts, the pressure on Xie Xuan increased dramatically.
In the blink of an eye, Tang He took the opportunity to poke a wound on his body.
"Everyone, hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"
Xie Xuan's mouth was bleeding, but he didn't forget to boost his morale.
However, Gao Chun only had a ninth-level man left, and the Beifu army soldiers on top of the city could not support him at all, and were beaten to pieces by Li Wenzhong, Guo Xing and others.
Every time the formation collapsed, Xie Xuan's energy would fluctuate accordingly.
Just a stick of incense.
Xie Xuan couldn't hold on anymore and couldn't even move his left arm...
In the original history, the so-called elite soldiers could withstand 10% of casualties without collapse, and the army that could withstand 20% to 30% of casualties without collapse could be called an unparalleled iron army.
In the world of Shenzhou, the upper limit of elite soldiers has been increased a lot, but even elite soldiers are normal people with normal emotions.
When facing death, we will also be afraid.
Therefore, after half of the 30,000 Beifu troops suffered casualties and were still unable to stop Li Wenzhong, Guo Xing and others, even though they knew that the reinforcements were not far away, it was a bit unbearable.
If they hadn't seen their general Xie Xuan still fighting for his life against the enemy, they would have collapsed...
"General, if you can't hold on any longer, retreat first!"
A guerrilla general with a bloody face screamed.
The guerrilla generals of the Beifu Army were generals at the command level, so they were targeted by Li Wenzhong, and only one of the several guerrilla generals died. His arm was also cut off.
After the guerrilla general escaped by chance, his face became dejected when he saw this situation.
boom!
Xie Xuan's blood suddenly boiled and turned into a bloody shield. The shield shattered after colliding with Xu Da's spear, and Xie Xuan also took this opportunity to turn into a rainbow and fall.
Upon seeing this, Tang He immediately swung his spear and struck, but the speed was a little slower.
"Based on a hundred households, break out individually and gather to the east..."
If the Beifu army at the top of the city was destroyed, without the support of the military formation, it would be difficult for Xie Xuan to hit Zhu Yuanzhang. If he was bombarded by three people together, he would definitely be dead or alive.
If he died in battle, Gao Chun would fall into the hands of the Ming army.
Xie Xuan understood this, so after seeing that his soldiers could not hold on, he immediately changed his mind and decided to break out first.
Reinforcements are approaching anyway.
As long as he can break out and join the reinforcements, it doesn't matter if Gao Chun is taken away by the other party. With them restraining them outside the city, the Ming army can't leave even if they want to...
After issuing military orders.
Xie Xuan did not go with his soldiers, but flew into the sky again. All the energy and blood in his body turned into light flames. He avoided the bombardment that roared like thunder and surged for more than ten miles in mid-air, and flew towards the east. And go.
"Chase!"
Xu Da and Tang He immediately went to chase them.
The remaining elite troops of the Beifu army on the city head also dispersed suddenly. In small groups of a hundred, they began to flee towards the east.
"Wenzhong, you lead 10,000 troops and take over the city immediately... The others follow my orders and drive away the enemy..."
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped in mid-air and gave the order decisively.
Hundreds of miles away.
Ten thousand elite troops led by Lu Xun and Yuwen Chengdu had already formed up and rushed into the Ming army's van array.
Yuwen Chengdu went to fight Yu Dayou himself. The strength of the two sides was not far apart. It would be difficult to tell the winner for a while...
Zhou Panlong, Zhou Fengshu and his son each led elite troops to break into the formation.
No matter how strong the Ming army's van formation was, it could not withstand the full-out attack of two ninth-level generals. Within a moment, there were signs of disintegration.
At this time.
Lu Xun suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Gao Chun.
He felt that an incomparable energy that reflected the stars was quickly dissipating. In the boundless sky, a star turned into a shooting star and flew towards the sky...
"The stars appear during the day, and the general is killed!"
Lu Xun couldn't help but clenched the hilt of his sword. He wanted to rush to Gaochun immediately, but he couldn't leave until the enemy troops blocking the way were resolved.
soon.
A rainbow appeared in the western sky. The energy emitted by the rainbow light is very familiar. Behind the rainbow light, there are two speeding haloes containing endless murderous intent.
"Zhou Panlong...General Xie Xuan is being chased by the enemy. Please join forces with me to stop the enemy first!"
Lu Xun shouted sharply.
Uh-huh!
He and Zhou Panlong rose into the air and faced the west...
With the help of Lu Xun and Zhou Panlong, Xu Da and Tang He could only stop.
The situation changed like this. Yuwen Chengdu and Yu Dayou also separated. Xu Da barely protected the remaining part of the van array.
After being defeated, tens of thousands of Ming troops slowly moved closer to the remaining formation.
Although Yu Dayou's army fled desperately and lost six men and horses, they completed their mission and successfully blocked the Xia army's reinforcements, creating an opportunity for Zhu Yuanzhang to seize Gao Chun.
only.
After the Ming army captured Gaochun, they had no way to go south to Xuancheng.
Because the elite Xia army led by Xie Xuan and Lu Xun were parked on the outskirts of Gaochun City, like thorns on the ground. Unless they were pulled out, the Ming army would not be able to settle down.
Current situation.
The Ming army was inside the city and the Xia army was outside the city.
There have been changes on both sides of the offense and defense.
…
"A few more generals have arrived... Xia Jun's background is really amazing!"
After Xu Da collected his defeated troops. He glanced at the tens of thousands of troops in front of him and sighed secretly in his heart.
In the past few days, they had spent countless efforts to capture Gao Chun.
There are only two famous ninth-level generals, Xie Xuan and Xiao Moke, in Gaochun City.
What can be felt on the opposite side now is that besides Xie Xuan, there are three ninth-level auras...
