"I'm under General Wu's orders to quickly move to the rear and face the Jiangdong Army!”
The soldier sent by Wu Yunzhao said breathlessly after he arrived at the rear of the army.
The army needed to be mobilized quickly. Only in this way could they resist the Jiangdong Army behind them.
"Nonsense. There was no news from the front, and the Jiangdong Army was at the front. How could they suddenly appear at the back?”
Who knew that the rear commandant said coldly.
"The real main force of the Jiangdong Army has gone around to the rear. It was General Wu who asked me to give you the order.”
the soldier hurriedly said.
"Although General Wu has military power, we can't act rashly without the Lord's order. Otherwise, wouldn't we be plotting against him?”
The rear commandant said in a deep voice.
It was obvious that he would not easily mobilize his troops just because of a few words from the soldier in front of him.
Just as the soldiers were about to argue with the rear commandant, they suddenly felt the ground shake and a battle cry came from behind.
"It's over!"
The soldier cried out in grief.
Obviously, the Jiangdong Army had already arrived.
The commandant's expression changed drastically. Only now did he know that what the soldier said was true.
Li Jing had actually discovered the scouts sent by Wu Yunzhao on his way here.
However, he did not care anymore. Wu Yunzhao should be in charge of the front line, and the troops at the rear would not take action just because of a few words from the soldiers.
Therefore, even if this soldier brought the news, it would be useless.
"Kill them!"
The battle at the rear began. Li Jing immediately gave the order to attack.
Once they broke into the enemy's rear camp, they would definitely be able to panic the front army. At this time, the lord could also lead the front army to charge.
The appearance of the Jiangdong Army was too sudden and unexpected.
Li Zitong's soldiers were all in disbelief.
Li Jing's troops moved at lightning speed. Regardless of whether it was Yuhang Prefecture or Kuaiji Prefecture, he launched a surprise attack at lightning speed.
A surprise attack could naturally catch the enemy off guard. In a panicked situation, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
When the blood flood of the Jiangdong Army surged into the rear camp, the frontal battle began.
Wu Yunzhao's trusted aides did not choose to stay here. Instead, they rode along the front lines of the army.
He needed to report to Wu Yunzhao and the others at the front that the rear troops had encountered the enemy.
Naturally, the rear troops could no longer hold on. After all, no one could stabilize the morale of the army.
The rear army only had 10,000 soldiers, like a plate of loose sand.
In terms of military strength, they were already weaker than the Jiangdong Army. What should they take out to resist the Jiangdong Army?
"Kill them!"
A soldier from the River East Army roared in anger. His face was extremely ferocious as he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it into the enemy's heart.
Such scenes were common, and the battle quickly entered a white-hot stage.
It wasn't hard to notice that apart from screaming and running away, the enemy soldiers basically couldn't put up a strong defense.
The battle was almost one-sided, and the entire rear could not hold on for long.
Furthermore, Xiong Kuohai led the vanguard army and killed to their heart's content. As long as the rebel army saw this purple-faced man, they would cover their heads and flee like rats.
Morale had collapsed, and victory had long been decided.
In less than two hours, the soldiers of Li Zitong's rear army either surrendered or fled.
Out of the 10,000 soldiers, only 2,000 remained. Most of them had fled.
The rear army was in chaos, and the middle army also received the news.
"Damn it!"
Li Zitong, who was leisurely painting in the mansion, cursed and tore all the paintings on the table.
Now he finally understood that the 10,000 troops of the Jiangdong Army were meant to make him suspicious.
The true main force was indeed going around the rear and quickly taking down two counties.
However, he had guessed correctly that the Jiangdong Navy would not participate in the main battle after the war.
However, the Jiangdong Navy could transport the main force of Jiangdong to the rear of the army. This was the true killing weapon.
"My lord, the most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army and organize the battle!”
Wu Yunzhao said with cupped fists.
However, he sighed in his heart. As long as he destroyed the front line of the Jiangdong Army, he could definitely counterattack the army behind him.
Such a good opportunity was wasted by Li Zitong.
Li Zitong didn't say anything else. He immediately put on his armor and walked out of the mansion. He successively ordered the army to start organizing the defense.
The rear army of 10,000 soldiers had been destroyed, but the middle army still had 30,000 soldiers. He could use the middle army to reach the rear army of Jiangdong.
As for the Jiangdong Army in front, he could gather 20,000 soldiers to attack them.
If they could take down the front line of the Jiangdong Army and then gather their forces to attack the main force of the Jiangdong Army, they would be able to turn defeat into victory.
However, he had neglected one point. The Jiangdong Army's strength could not be compared to theirs. The Jiangdong Army was undoubtedly stronger.
Dong dong dong.
The war drums sounded like thunder in the sky.
At the same time, the bugle horn had already sounded. Li Zitong, who had just calmed down, had a drastic change in expression.
The voice came from the front line of the Jiangdong Army. Was the 10,000-strong army preparing to attack Wu County?
He was right. Li Jing led his army straight to the back of Wu County. Cao Yun also chose to attack Wu County at this time.
Wu Yunzhao's expression changed drastically. If the Jiangdong Army moved, then the Wu County Army would be thrown into a flurry.
Although they had the advantage in numbers, the morale of the soldiers was already in chaos. The faces of the soldiers were filled with fear.
Their escape route had been cut off. The enemy wanted to catch them in a jar. This was a killing trap.
"20,000 troops will block the front line, and the remaining 30,000 will block the main force of the Jiangdong Army.”
Li Zitong was practically shouting out these words.
"Wu Yunzhao, you go to the rear to block the Jiangdong Army. Leave the front to me.”
Li Zitong gave Wu Yunzhao some instructions before he left in his armor.
Wu Yunzhao didn't take any rest and led the troops to battle.
"Kill them!"
Cao Yun held the Overlord Halberd in his hand and gave the order to attack when the morale was at its highest.
The 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers were like a sharp blade as they headed straight for the city wall of Wu County.
The archers would first release their arrows to deplete the strength of the defenders, and then build ladders to attack the city wall.
Li Zitong was sweating profusely as he commanded the soldiers to defend the city wall seamlessly. If one of them died, another would rush up to block the gap.
The thick smell of blood spread out, and many soldiers let out miserable screams as they were stabbed through. Their corpses then hung on the city wall.
Otherwise, the corpses would fall to the ground. The scene could only be described as tragic.
Li Zitong's expression changed drastically when he saw this. It seemed that his army was completely blocking the Jiangdong Army.
The advantage in numbers did not seem to be of much use!
