Chapter 664 Encounter
These 20,000 to 30,000 An army came quickly and retreated faster.
In just a moment, the city, which was just full of soldiers, had become empty.
The people on the city wall were a little confused. Did the other party find out with conscience that they were scolded by themselves?
After a daze, cheers followed.
By the afternoon, the news came back to the Ling Army. When the Ling King heard this, before he could speak, Ye Gui laughed and said, "This Yu Anmin is as timid as a mouse! Before he saw our army, he was fleeing in a hurry!"
The Lingwang also smiled and said, "But now it seems that Wang Su is right. Yu Anmin did choose to continue to cooperate with the ghost clan."
"Don't worry, when the last general encounters this dog thief, he will definitely stab the horse with one shot!" Ye Gui said immediately.
"Haha, okay, okay." This is the favorite general of the Spirit King, and the latter is naturally happy.
Cheng Ping said, "King, it's almost evening now, should you continue to march?"
When the Ling King heard this, he first looked at the sky and then asked: "How far is our army from Lianzhou City?"
"About fifty miles." Cheng Ping returned respectfully: "We have a lot of food and supplies, and the troops are slower. Of course, if we enter the city overnight, it is not impossible."
"Forget it." The Spirit King waved his hand and said, "The soldiers have been running for so long, and they are tired from the upper and lower levels. It's better to take a break first. Let's enter the city tomorrow morning."
"No!" Cheng Ping received the order.
Soon, a messenger had already galloped.
"The king has an order! Stop moving forward! Rest in place-"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the Ling Army arrived at the city of Lianzhou.
On the top of the city, the people who finally resisted successfully were afraid that the ghost tribe would come again, so they naturally organized some manpower, just like yesterday.
However, the armor of the Spirit Army is very different from the An Army. There are also generals who rushed forward and shouted directly:
"My king is here! The people quickly open the city!"
Hearing the shout, looking at the Lingjun battle flag, some people immediately reacted and widened their eyes and said, "Ah!? This is the Lingwang's army! It is the Allied Army!"
"Friends, this is the Allies! The Allies are here-"
"Quick! Open the city--"
When the news spread, the people cheered and all their faces showed joy. Now no one in the world knows that the Allies are here to expel foreign enemies, so how could they be unhappy?
The city gate opened quickly, and countless people rushed out in a swarm. Then they knelt on the ground in the open space in front of the city gate, shouting:
"Your Highness of the Spirit King, the demons of the ghost clan have lost all their conscience, and the people of Lianzhou are in dire straits..."
"We are waiting for the people and have been looking forward to the Allied forces for a long time..."
Looking at the people who were kneeling down, the Spirit King was very helpful. He slightly smashed the horse's belly, took two steps in front of the war horse, raised his hand and said:
"Okay, okay, everyone get up quickly. Don't worry, since my spiritual army soldiers have arrived here, they will definitely protect the safety of the people and will never let the ghost army step into Lianzhou and slaughter my compatriots."
After receiving his promise, all the people were undoubtedly even more excited.
"His Highness Xie Ling's great kindness--"
The Spirit King seemed to enjoy this feeling very much and nodded with satisfaction.
Subsequently, the Ling Army entered the city and began to temporarily station in Lianzhou.
At the same time, the Qin army also easily recovered Liaoyang, and the situation encountered there was similar to that in Lianzhou.
After the plan of the Ghost King's attempt to defend Anjun together failed, he immediately changed his strategy and did not dare to defend Zhenyang alone, because this would cut off his own retreat.
He had no choice but to evacuate urgently and switch to Guangyuan, attempting to enter Anyang from Guangyuan and then exit the Central Plains border from Anyang.
At this time, due to the distance, Xuan Jun had not arrived in Guangyuan, but by chance, he happened to meet the Ghost Army halfway.
The enemy and us marched from left to right, and the other marched from bottom to top, and ended up meeting each other in a plain and wilderness.
Of course, this kind of encounter does not mean a direct encounter, but has been discovered by spies on both sides at the same time when there is a certain distance.
On the plain, spies rode their horses and ran.
"King, you find the enemy situation ahead and you are suspected to be the main force of the Ghost Army!"
"Let's explore again." King Xuan was located on the war horse, concise and concise.
"No!" The spy held his fists and took the order, and turned his back on the horse again.
King Xuan looked directly at Yan Qi: "Array."
"Yes!" The latter clasped his fists, immediately pulled the reins, and began to issue military orders.
"Discover the enemy's situation--"
"The whole army is on guard and ready to face the enemy-"
With the shouts, all the Xuan Army soldiers were cheering up, and the sound of infantry running filled the audience.
The well-trained regular army formed the wartime formation from the lazy state of the march at an extremely fast speed.
The other party was indeed a Ghost King's army, and he also received a report from the horse exploration, and he couldn't help but frown.
This is a typical encounter.
Before, both sides were rushing to the road, and no one expected it.
Now fighting against Xuan Jun, to be honest, the Ghost King is not afraid, but he is very unhappy because he is in a hurry to arrive in Guangyuan. If he delays for one more day, he will be more dangerous.
But if you don’t fight, Xuan Jun probably won’t let him go there like this.
Thinking of this, the Ghost King made a quick decision and issued an order to attack directly, and decided to take the initiative!
When we encountered each other in the plains, the war broke out without saying a word.
But the Xuan Army was not Huan Army. The Yan Qi who commanded the battle was not Xiang Ge, and there were General Xie Hongling, as well as many brave men.
In the encounter, the enemy cavalry took the lead in charge. Yan Qi did not even panic. He waved his flag directly, and the heavy shield in the front row hit the ground, the long halberd was like a thorn, and the crossbowman behind immediately bent his bow and arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time.
The rain of arrows hit, and the war horses continued to rush. Some of the ghost soldiers immediately waved their scimitars to block them, while others were shot directly to the ground.
The man was lying on his back and horses, mixed with howlings.
"Array—"
Boom! Boom boom!
The heavy shield moved, and the Xuan Army infantry began to run together, and the formation changed drastically in an instant.
At the same time, Yan Qi also shouted:
"Immediately send a command from General Xie to attack the enemy's flanks with cavalry!"
"The crossbowman retreats!"
"Divide the formation! Let the enemy cavalry come in!"
This battle was very fierce, but it was the afternoon when the two sides encountered each other, so there was no fierce battle for a long time. In the evening, the Ghost King was forced to sound the horn of retreating.
In this battle, both sides of the enemy and us won’t have much defeat.
But it forced the Ghost King to re-examine the combat power of the Xuan Army and its commanding ability.
After he withdrew his troops, his face was not very good-looking.
His deputy general was slightly worried and said, "Your Majesty the King, from the first battle, the Xuan army is not comparable to the Huan army, and the troops are quite strong. If he fights to the death, it may be delayed for a long time."
What he said was exactly what the Ghost King was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he said, "In this way, send an envoy to see King Xuan, with a better attitude. Tell him that we do not want to have a conflict with the Xuan army. This encounter is just an accident."
Obviously, he was already a little cowardly.
