"Move aside!"
"Continue to advance and crush all obstacles!”
"Charge into Yu County and capture Li Xiu Ning alive!”
……
The situation had been decided. Li Zhiyun's commander flag followed the archers from the side and slowly followed.
At this time, Li Zhiyun was no longer needed to boost morale.
The enemy's defeat was the best encouragement for their own soldiers.
However, not long after they advanced, Li Zhiyun noticed that the army seemed to have stopped.
He frowned slightly and immediately ordered the messenger,"Go and see what's happening in front!”
"Report!"
Without waiting for the messenger to leave, a rider galloped over from the front and reported loudly,"Reporting to General, General Chen has ordered his subordinates to pass down an order. The narrow terrain of the battlefield two miles ahead has been blocked by the enemy's carriages. Our army has been blocked and the scattered soldiers are all crowded together.”
Li Zhiyun immediately realized that Li Xiu Ning had escaped!
Li Xiuning had the time to set up a blockade.
That meant that she had enough time to escape.
"Order the rear troops to light the torches." Li Zhiyun pondered for a moment and issued such an order.
Although he had guessed that Li Xiu Ning had fled, it would be difficult for Li Xiu Ning to have the troops to ambush him.
However, the strange situation on the battlefield ahead made Li Zhiyun cautious.
It was a pity that they couldn't charge into Yu County in one go.
However, the current situation had basically achieved Li Zhiyun's goal. He did not want to lose everything because of any impulsive risks in the end.
As a general, one had to be bold and careful.
When Li Zhiyun led the rear troops to press forward, he stood on the horse's back under the light of the fire and could basically see the situation in front of him.
Carriages blocked the narrow road to Yu County.
The pikemen formed an encirclement from behind. Together with the carriage, they had basically surrounded Li Xiu Ning's scattered troops.
There were still more than 20,000 soldiers who were trapped in the narrow and long area, screaming desperately. Li Zhiyun could clearly see that the soldiers were scrambling to jump over the carriages to escape. They even fought with their former comrades.
Knock, knock, knock…
The sound of horse hooves could be heard as Wan Xuandao galloped over.
"Commander-in-chief, this general requests to go around the two flanks of the hill and pursue.”Wan Xuandao immediately asked for help.
His cavalrymen had done almost nothing in this battle.
Wan Xuandao was waiting for a big battle, but he had nowhere to vent.
Li Zhiyun didn't answer Wan Xuandao immediately. Instead, he ordered,""Messenger, pass on the order to the battlefield. Li Xiu Ning has escaped and surrendered to avoid death!”
Soon, the sounds of surrendering to avoid death rang out on the battlefield.
The resistance of the defeated soldiers in front was getting weaker and weaker.
" Zhiyun..." Wan Xuandao said anxiously, even calling Li Zhiyun by his name.
Li Zhiyun turned his head and pointed at the van in front of him.""Uncle, my third sister can set up a carriage formation to stop us. Does she have other trump cards?”
"Secondly, why did she set up a carriage at the rear of the battlefield so early? From the moment he appeared, the carriage formation had been specially used to deal with cavalry.”
"Her 2,000 elite archers almost destroyed our spearmen formation. The past is a lesson for the future. Now that victory is on our side, chasing after them is just icing on the cake. If we are ambushed and counterattack, it will definitely affect the morale of our victory.”
The last sentence was the main reason why Li Zhiyun did not want Wan Xuandao to send troops.
The elite cavalrymen were Li Zhiyun's flesh and blood. Nothing could go wrong.
Wan Xuandao understood. He cupped his fists and said,"This humble general receives."
After gathering the scattered soldiers, Li Zhiyun ordered the miscellaneous soldiers to clean up the battlefield and supervise the scattered soldiers. He led the cavalry, spearmen, and archers to slowly approach Yu County with torches.
Then, he looked at Yu County.
The sky was already dark. Zhangsun Wugou heard the sounds of the battlefield gradually becoming softer.
Under the illumination of the fire on the city wall, her face was extremely pale.
She thought that Li Zhiyun had lost.
Because the sky was too dark and she was too far away, she did not see the strange changes on the battlefield.
The other soldiers on the city wall were also very relaxed. They were the same as Zhangsun Wugou, thinking that they had won.
Ta, ta, ta…
The sound of hurried horse hooves rang out, causing the soldiers on the city wall to become vigilant.
Under the illumination of the fire, the blurry shadows in the distance gradually became clear.
Li Xiu Ning, under the protection of a hundred cavalry, charged towards the city gate in a somewhat sorry state.
Zhangsun Wugou's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
"Third Miss has entered the city, quickly open the city gates!”
"Quickly open the city gates!"
……
The cavalrymen in the distance had already begun to approach.
Li Xiu Ning successfully entered the city.
At the city gate, she ordered a dozen cavalrymen,""Go back and blend in with the defeated soldiers. Find the female soldiers hidden among the enemy's confidants and tell them that we can take action.”
She watched as her trusted aides rode back the same way they came before climbing up the city tower.
Zhangsun Wugou went up to him and asked anxiously,"Xiu Ning, how did this happen?" She was very puzzled. Li Zhiyun was clearly on the verge of defeat, so why was it Li Xiu Ning who escaped in the end?
Li Xiu Ning was depressed and smiled bitterly."That fifth brother of mine is a peerless military genius.”Li Xiu Ning's mouth was filled with bitterness as she said this.
Up until now, her mind was filled with scenes of the battlefield, the rain of arrows clearing the path, the infantry quickly following up, and the crushing.
She regretted not discovering Li Zhiyun's talent in commanding troops earlier.
The Li family had lost a commander, but at the same time, they had gained a powerful enemy!
As Li Xiu Ning spoke, her eyes were fixed on the front, flickering with flames as she slowly approached.
A cold light flashed in her eyes. If she could not be used by the Li family, she had to kill it in the cradle!
He couldn't let Li Zhiyun grow stronger!
