Du Tan ordered to shrink his troops during the day. His original plan was to gather forces and send a certain number of vanguards to advance rapidly to block the Jin army's path, while the rest would slowly drive the Jin army into the prepared pocket formations.
However, the transmission of military orders takes time, especially in mountainous areas, and the speed is even slower. Because of this, Wang Ye and others did not arouse much suspicion after putting on the Jin Bing's armor.
But at this time, hundreds of Jin soldiers suddenly appeared behind Guan Cheng and others, and raised their weapons high.
It is not difficult to judge from the momentum alone that this group of golden soldiers definitely exceeds 200 people, and it is difficult for Guan Cheng to guarantee that there will be no more invincible soldiers in this dark depth.
But Guan Cheng's movements were a little slower, and the Jin Bing had already reached a close enough place. The rear guard quickly engaged the Jin Bing who rushed up.
There was no politeness between the two sides, and the battle became intense in an instant.
The officer of the Jin Army charged forward and yelled to kill the enemy, but when his eyes saw the big flag behind Guan Cheng, his eyes were blank for a moment. It turned out to be the commander-in-chief Wang Qi?
Everyone has seen Guan Cheng's Mountains, Rivers, Sun and Moon Flag. The purple flag is trimmed with gold, which is easy to recognize. After several times, the stars are not bright and the light is poor, but the Jin Army officer can still identify it at a glance.
Immediately, the lack of concentration in his eyes was replaced by ecstasy.
Surprisingly, he bumped into such a big fish. This was the first thing the Jin army officer thought of. There seemed to be wealth worth tens of thousands of gold, noble uniforms symbolizing high positions, and beauties from fertile land appearing in front of his eyes.
The Jin Army officer gritted his teeth and held the sword in his hand a little tighter: "Brothers, in front of us is King Jin. Whoever can capture me alive will be promoted to three levels immediately."
Jin Jun's originally tired eyes suddenly brightened, and his morale was greatly boosted.
But it didn't take long for the Jin Army generals to realize something was wrong.
Even though our own soldiers were brave and unafraid of death, they surged up layer by layer but could not shake the enemy in front. On the contrary, our own casualties were obviously more than the enemy's.
The general of the Jin Army had just stabbed an enemy to the ground when he saw an oncoming long sword. He had to be embarrassed to avoid it. It was dangerous and dangerous. There was a gap in the leather armor on his chest. He could feel it. When he realized that he was already injured, the pain in his chest frightened General Jin Bing.
The guards around this guy are extremely powerful.
The idea of retreating suddenly emerged in the minds of the Jin Army officers. Our own troops far exceeded the Jin Army, and there was no need to fight with such a small number of people.
At this time, Wang Ye and Wu Chengju in the camp finally reunited, but the original team of more than 500 people now had less than 400 people.
"Wu Sima, Your Highness has encountered the golden soldiers somewhere. We must break out as quickly as possible, otherwise Your Highness will be in danger."
Wang Ye threw out the long sword with an extra curled blade in his hand, and took the new long sword handed over by a soldier. His chest rose and fell rapidly, obviously consuming a lot of energy.
The same was true for Wu Chengju. The blood on his face mixed with the sweat flowed into his mouth, which was salty.
"No!" Wu Chengju flatly refused.
"The number of Jin soldiers outside is small, and the main force of the Jin army is still in this camp. The more Jin soldiers we can hold back, the greatest support will be to His Highness."
When Wang Ye heard this, he suddenly realized and said quickly: "What the general said is very reasonable, but it is my subordinate Meng Lang."
Wu Chengju stretched out his blood-covered palms and patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, "You and I share our worries for His Highness. After His Highness breaks out, we will be waiting for survival. But now, we are begging for death. Come on."
Wang Ye did not answer but nodded heavily, raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed the enemy in front of him fiercely.
The Jin Army's offensive was extremely fierce. Wu Chengju and others could only maintain the difficult defense of the circular formation. The soldiers of both sides fighting at the gate of the Jin Army's camp were completely blocked.
Du Tan quickly discovered the clues, but he did not worry at all. His own soldiers could be rotated, but the Jin army did not have this opportunity. If this continued, annihilating this Jin army would be just a matter of hands. .
The panic in the heart of the Jin soldiers' company commander who was fighting in the mountain was rapidly developing towards fear, and the casualties of the Jin soldiers increased sharply during the battle.
The originally high morale had been shaken by the large number of casualties among their companions. Even though Captain Jin Bing shouted for a higher reward several times, it was of no avail.
Just when Jin Bing was desperate, the five hundred elites led by Liu Dong finally appeared in front of everyone.
Among the more than 500 people, nearly 100 were equipped with iron armor.
Guan Cheng had a serious look on his face, and the movement from behind made both sides who were fighting involuntarily stop their movements.
The Jin soldiers were naturally happy, while the Jin soldiers looked a little flustered.
And in this way, the Jin army's strength is enough to crush the Jin army no matter where it is.
Quantity of troops can sometimes easily translate into qualitative differences.
Guan Cheng clearly felt the difficulty. The fighting around him and the buzzing of swords and swords became more and more harsh and noisy.
The Jin army's front had no choice but to begin to retreat, but once it began to retreat, it was easy for some seemingly determined people to appear.
At this time, the Jin army had no external reinforcements and no strong generals, and had almost lost all its food, grass and equipment. This was something even ordinary soldiers knew.
With the gradually increasing casualties and the continuous screaming and falling of Pao Ze next to him, someone finally couldn't bear the fear, threw down his weapon, turned towards his safe place, and then ran away.
Guan Cheng had already pressed everyone up, not even the supervising team, which also gave great convenience to the deserters.
The person who ran away no longer had any shame, and shouted loudly while running, for fear that others would not know.
But no one on the battlefield had time to laugh at Pao Ze's cowardice and escape.
Now the enemy is coming indiscriminately like a tidal wave, and people are more worried that he has run away. What am I going to do if I stay? Die for him?
The desire to survive in everyone's heart was very strong, and the oaths made before the war were thrown under their feet and trampled in the dirt. No one expected that the first person to show signs of collapse would be Guan Chengni.
Wu Chengju and Wang Ye had even rushed into the formation and disrupted the Jin Army's formation, but Guan Cheng had less than fifty people left in a short period of time.
The collapse of the Jin army made Liu Dong overjoyed, and he was so itchy that he rushed towards Guan Cheng.
However, Liu Dong's luck was obviously not very good. Guan Cheng didn't notice him at all. At this time, several soldiers were dragging Guan Cheng to retreat into the mountains. The remaining Jin soldiers maintained the defense line desperately, which made Liu Dong a little resentful. Watching Guan Cheng gradually fade away in his sight.
"Damn it!" Liu Dong was furious in his heart and ordered: "Jiazi Company will follow my son to chase the little Guan Cheng, while the others hold back and annihilate this Jin army!"
This kind of opportunity to make great achievements was of course the privilege of the related households. Liu Dong quickly counted out more than a hundred people and chased them deep into the mountain.
The battle situation in the forest is always under the attention of Wu Chengju and others.
"Sima, Your Highness is in danger. It's time for us to break out. We can't delay any longer."
Wu Chengzhong nodded heavily and said: "You are right, we cannot be reluctant to fight, we must leave some people behind, and the rest will immediately go after His Highness.
"promise!"
