After waiting for 20 minutes, the enemy finally began to move. Just as Su Yi had expected, the enemy did not dare to break out of the encirclement. Instead, they tried to open a gap and send out the remaining 100 cavalry to report.
This was exactly what Su Yi wanted.
Su Yiyuan looked over and saw more than 1,000 people charging out of the enemy camp. Fang Rui commanded 3,000 people to surround them, and 1,000 Iron Eagle Cavalry charged at the enemy.
Su Yi could tell that Fang Rui had gone easy on him.
Otherwise, how could these thousand men be enough to kill them? After a full ten minutes, the enemy's hundred cavalrymen, with the support of a thousand infantrymen, finally made a hole and thirteen cavalrymen ran out. However, the enemy's thousand foot soldiers suffered heavy losses. Only a hundred or so people who were close to the camp returned to the camp.
Fang Rui immediately ordered the Elite Battalion to send out 100 cavalry to give chase. The enemy cavalry ran even faster.
Whether it was Su Yi or the enemy general, both of them had achieved their goals. Su Yi wanted the enemy to break out and ask for help, while the enemy general wanted to break out and ask for help.
Then, Su Yi had Fang Rui continue to feint, but at a slower pace than before. They also gradually slowed down their pace of attack, slowly depleting the enemy's strength.
He couldn't be too hasty. He had to let them see hope. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if they were desperate.
"My lord, the enemy cavalry has charged out of the Gourd Cave Pass.”After a while, the general in charge of leading the chase returned and immediately reported to Su Yi.
"Alright, I got it!" Su Yi said.
"Pass on my orders. Order Fang Rui to continue feinting. In an hour, force the enemy to land. If they don't surrender, kill them on the spot.”Su Yi ordered the messenger beside him.
"Yes!"
Then, Su Yi only needed to wait for the good news.
In the outer valley of the Gourd Cave.
"General, the messenger of the enemy has already gone over.”Wu Bin went to Feng Sanbao to report the military situation.
"Yes, I understand. Get the various departments to prepare and act according to the plan.”Feng Sanbao said.
"I understand!" Wu Bin agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Su Yi was still pretending to attack the enemy camp, but Feng Sanbao's side started to change.
"General, the enemy reinforcements have set off. There are a total of 30,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry. It is estimated that in half a quarter of an hour, the 5,000 cavalry vanguard will enter our ambush, and the infantry will need another quarter of an hour to enter our ambush.”Wu Bin found Feng Sanbao and reported the situation to him.
"Have the 1st Light Cavalry Guard divide out five battalions to harass and intercept the enemy cavalry. Send out another battalion to set up at the middle pass. We must not let the enemy enter the inner valley.”Feng Sanbao immediately gave the order.
"Yes, General." Wu Bin agreed and then went to pass down the order. Moreover, he still needed to command at the front line.
"Order the first cavalry unit to send out a battalion to attack the enemy. We must lure the enemy into an ambush.”
The enemy's situation had changed, so Feng Sanbao immediately made the corresponding arrangements. They would make the enemy think that there were not many troops to intercept them.
"Yes!" The messenger beside Feng Sanbao immediately received the order and left.
"It's finally here!" Feng Sanbao finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Previously, five cavalry battalions were sent out to intercept the enemy cavalry, but the enemy general seemed to be worried about an ambush and stopped. Feng Sanbao could only send out another battalion to confuse the enemy.
"Order the 1st Guard to send out 2 battalions to seal off the outer pass and send another battalion to reinforce the middle pass.”Feng Sanbao ordered.
"Yes!" The messenger received the order and left.
"Beat the drums, light the smoke, order the generals to raise their flags, and surround the enemy as planned.”
Feng Sanbao said loudly. He then picked up his silver spear and went to the front line of the battlefield.
Bang... Bang...
War drums beat, and the sound of horse hooves shattered.
The 2nd Light Cavalry Guard split into 5 battalions to surround the enemy cavalry, while the remaining 5 battalions, under the leadership of Feng Sanbao, together with the 3rd Light Cavalry Guard and 50,000 infantry, surrounded the enemy infantry.
"Put down your weapons and surrender!"
"Put down your weapons and surrender!"
"Put down your weapons and surrender!"
Countless flags covered the mountains and plains, and smoke rose into the sky. Enemies were everywhere.
Deafening war drums and soul-stirring battle cries struck the enemy's heart. The weak enemies trembled and lost their will to fight.
"Linhai Wang Ba is here, who dares to fight me?”
A loud voice rang out from the enemy's formation, almost suppressing the battle drums and the shouts of more than 20,000 people.
A man rode out of the enemy's formation. He was tall and burly, riding a large horse, waving a Zhanmadao in his hand.
"Haichuan Wu Bin is here to meet you!"
Wu Bin had not joined Su Yi for a long time and did not have many opportunities to perform. However, he held a high position and was always worried that others would say that he did not live up to his name.
Wu Bin rode on a black horse and charged at Ba Wang with his steel spear in his hand.
Everyone mistakenly thought that a great battle was about to begin. Unexpectedly, before Wang Ba could even swing his Zhanmadao, Wu Bin's spear had already pierced through Wang Ba's heart.
"Trash!" Wu Bin said in a deep voice as he lifted Wang Ba's corpse with his spear.
They were both king level generals, but Wang Ba was not even a match for Wu Bin.
"I won't kill anyone who surrenders!" Wu Bin picked up Wang Ba and shouted at the enemy formation.
"I won't kill anyone who surrenders!" The vanguard army closed in on the enemy formation and shouted.
His voice was like thunder, shocking the enemy.
"Wu Bin brat, how dare you kill my nephew!”
A middle-aged general charged out from the enemy formation. It was the commander of the neighboring country, Wang Jing, an imperial general.
Wu Bin was shocked. He knew that he was no match for the other party at first glance.
Wu Bin took Wang Jing's first strike with his spear and retreated a few steps with his horse, almost unable to withstand it.
"So strong." The spear in Wu Bin's hand was trembling and almost fell out of his hand.
"Take my saber again!" Wang Jing shouted, waving his Zhanmadao and approaching Wu Bin.
At this moment, Wang Jing mistakenly thought that Wu Bin was the leader of the ambush. After killing him, this battle would naturally be solved.
Beads of sweat appeared on Wu Bin's forehead. He could withstand this attack, but he would definitely die the next time.
"Humph!"
Wang Jing only heard a cold snort. His forehead and back were actually covered in cold sweat. It was as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. The saber that was about to slash down stopped for two seconds.
Wu Bin didn't feel anything from the voice. The voice wasn't aimed at him. Wu Bin had good eyesight. He took advantage of these two seconds to dodge Wang Jing's attack.
Wang Jing was about to chase after Wu Bin when he saw a spear flying over. Wang Jing's eyes widened, and his face was filled with fear.
Then, he died. The spear was already stabbed into his chest, and the tip of the spear was exposed from his back.
It was Feng Sanbao, who had rushed to the front line of the battlefield, who made his move. With just a spear throw, Wang Jing, who was wearing battle armor, could not block an ordinary spear.
"All troops, charge!" Feng Sanbao gripped his spear tightly and pointed it at the enemy formation as he shouted.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
If all the previous preparations were to intimidate the enemy, killing Wang Jing would add to the fire.
Now that Feng Sanbao was serious, those who did not surrender would die!
More than 65,000 people pressed forward together. The shouts of killing and surrendering echoed in the sky.
Su Yi's army quickly dealt with the enemy's vanguard camp. The enemy refused to surrender. After finding the enemy's general, Fang Rui led the Iron Eagle Guards to charge at the enemy's formation and capture him alive.
After the enemy general was captured alive, the battle was easier to fight. Without a general, the enemy would lose their backbone. They would be scattered and lose their fighting spirit. Ten minutes later, they would all surrender.
In this battle, Su Yi's army had wiped out more than 6,000 enemies and captured close to 13,000 prisoners. Among them, there were more than 2,000 wounded enemies. A lot of the supplies had been destroyed by Su Yi's charge, so the harvest was less.
Su Yi's men did not suffer many losses, only 500 men were killed or injured, and none of the Iron Eagle Guards were injured.
"General Feng, the lord sent me to tell you that the lord has finished the battle and is leading the Iron Eagle Guards to reinforce you.”
Under the lead of a general of the Vanguard Selection Army, the Iron Eagle Guard general sent by Su Yi found Feng Sanbao.
"Yes, I understand. Go back and tell the lord that the Vanguard Selection Army has dealt with the reinforcements and is currently cleaning up the battlefield and counting the prisoners.”Feng Sanbao said to the general.
"Yes, General Feng. I will go back and tell the Lord.”The general saluted Feng Sanbao and left.
"Order the troops to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield. After the captives are counted, escort them away to meet up with the lord.”Feng Sanbao ordered with a gloomy face.
"Yes, General!" When the messenger heard the order, he immediately rode his horse to deliver the order.
Feng Sanbao was very unhappy. The time spent cleaning up the battlefield was longer than the time spent charging into the enemy's formation.
"My lord."
The general that Su Yi had sent to check on the situation had returned.
"How's the situation on General Feng's side?”Su Yi immediately asked.
"My lord, General Feng has finished the battle and is cleaning up the battlefield to count the prisoners.”The general replied.
"Alright, you did well. You can leave first.”Su Yi said to the general.
"Continue forward!" Su Yi ordered. The two battlefields were less than 30 kilometers apart. With the system's 10 times army speed, it would not take long for them to reach Feng Sanbao.
Ten minutes later, Su Yi brought 10,000 men and met up with Feng Sanbao. At this time, Feng Sanbao had just finished cleaning up the battlefield.
"Uncle Feng, how was the battle?" Su Yi asked. This wasn't a formal occasion, so Su Yi addressed him as Uncle Feng.
"Ziyu, we killed 3,000 enemies and captured 27,000 prisoners. We didn't get much supplies, and our casualties reached 2000.”Feng Sanbao said.
Ziyu was the name Su Yi had given him.
"Uncle Feng, this is already very good.”Su Yi smiled." After that, we will reorganize these captives and add another 40,000 soldiers to join Guan Zheng's army.”
"This is good too!" Feng Sanbao nodded in response. He had the same intention.
"Uncle Feng, is there any news from Yuanzhi?”Su Yi asked.
Su Yi and Feng Sanbao had already finished their battle, so Xu Shu, who had the Divine Martial Army in his hands, should have received news.
"Not yet!" Feng Sanbao said. He believed that Xu Shu's ability to command troops was much stronger than his, so he did not send scouts to check on the situation. Xu Shu also did not send any news.
"Then I'll send someone to take a look." Su Yi asked.
"My lord, General Xu has sent a letter to you.”The general of the Divine Martial Army dismounted and bowed to Su Yi before handing him a letter.
Su Yi was just about to send someone to check on the situation when Xu Shu sent someone to deliver a letter.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Su Yi said casually. He took the letter and opened it to understand the situation.
It turned out that Xu Shu had taken down the enemy camp without bloodshed.
The enemy general Shen Qiu brought the fifty thousand people who stayed behind to surrender. After a bloodbath, all the loyal members of the royal family and Wang Clan were eliminated, and Xu Shu successfully took control of this army.
Of course, Shen Qiu did not surrender unconditionally but he only had one request, to ensure that his son Shen Quan's life was not in danger.
Who was Shen Quan? It was the vanguards of the neighboring country, who had been captured by Su Yi.
Of course Shen Qiu would not surrender just based on Xu Shu's words, mainly because the generals were not in harmony and he was ostracized by his colleagues in the officialdom. There was also the reason why he could not be put in an important position.
Shen Qiu was currently thirty eight years old and the Emperor level general was only a general. His official position was three levels lower than Wang Jing who led the army alone.
Shen Quan, Shen Qiu's eldest son, twenty years old, SS aptitude, King level general, such a talent was actually used as cannon fodder by Wang Jing.
Shen Quan was captured by Su Yi and Shen Qiu wanted to find a wise ruler. Thus, Shen Qiu had the mentality of trying to surrender to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu had already explained these things clearly in the letter and had even analyzed some of the contents for Su Yi.
Then, Su Yi passed the letter to Feng Sanbao to let him know about the situation.
"Go back and tell General Xu that I agree to his plan!”Su Yi said to the general who delivered the letter after reading it.
"Uncle Feng, send someone to send Wang Jing's body to Yuanzhi!”Su Yi said.
"Yes, I understand." Feng Sanbao nodded after reading the letter. He passed on his orders to the messenger beside him.
Su Yi also ordered people to send Shen Quan to Xu Shu.
