The scorching sun that had been burning for several days was finally blocked by the thick dark clouds today.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like heavy rain was coming soon.
"This rain is even better. It will let the soldiers cool down.”
Wu Tianxi, who was leading the 50,000-strong army, looked at the dark clouds above his head and laughed.
This time, he had led fifty thousand troops to reinforce Shen Fa Xing. In his eyes, this was a battle that he would definitely win. He had unparalleled confidence.
This was already the greatest taboo of the military," underestimating the enemy." Since ancient times, there had been many generals who had lost because of underestimating the enemy, but there were still people who made the same mistake.
In fact, Wu Tianxi knew that the enemy's strategy was to surround the city and attack reinforcements, so he should be careful to avoid being ambushed.
However, he did not. Instead, he headed in the direction of Yongjia County with great fanfare.
"This time, we have defeated the Jiangdong Army, and it has also broken the morale of the Jiangdong Army.”
Along the way, Wu Tianxi couldn't help but think that no matter who it was, as long as they defeated the Jiangdong Army, their reputation would definitely soar.
As a valiant general, how could he not hope to use this battle to completely spread his reputation?
The army was about to reach Yongjia County, but Wu Tianxi did not know that Li Jing had personally led his troops to ambush them.
"General, you really have divine foresight!"
Xiong Kuohai saw Wu Tianxi's army clearly through the cover. Wu Tianxi had really chosen to come from this path.
In fact, this wasn't anything strange. Lin Shihong had asked Wu Tianxi to lead the troops to rescue them, so he would naturally choose the nearest route first.
As long as they sped up, they would be able to reach Yongjia County faster. Therefore, Wu Tianxi would definitely pass by here.
"Prepare to attack!"
Li Jing said in a low voice.
Following his order, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army lowered their bodies and prepared to dive.
"Kill them!"
When Wu Tianxi stepped into the ambush circle, Li Jing ordered the attack.
The troops on the left and right sides charged out. The cavalry relied on their mobility to block Wu Tianxi's retreat.
Wuuu!
Wu Tianxi's warhorse was startled and cried out in alarm.
The army he led also became flustered at this time. This was a situation that would definitely happen when they encountered an ambush.
"Don't panic, we have an army of 50,000!”
Wu Tianxi shouted.
His top priority was to stabilize the morale of the army and not panic.
After his shout, the panicking Yuzhang Army quickly stabilized their formation, preventing the Yuzhang Army from losing.
"Alright, let's retreat."
Seeing that the Yuzhang Army was no longer panicking and had begun to line up, Li Jing unexpectedly gave the order to retreat.
"General, why did you retreat? You should be marching with all your might to destroy this Yuzhang Army.”
Xiong Kuohai asked doubtfully.
Li Jing smiled but didn't say anything. He knew that Wu Tianxi was powerful and had a certain strategy. Now that he had stabilized the situation, he was ready to counterattack.
If they continued to attack, Li Jing was confident that he could take down Wu Tianxi, but the Jiangdong Army would also suffer some losses.
If there were better options, Li Jing would not choose to destroy Wu Tianxi by force. Moreover, this ambush was just a foreshadowing.
Wu Tianxi had a certain level of strategy. After panicking, he would quickly react. The Jiangdong Army did not have many troops.
Moreover, when the enemy saw him suddenly retreat after stabilizing his army, they would definitely think that the Jiangdong army knew that they were no match for him and that they had retreated because they knew that their numbers were inferior.
At this time, Wu Tianxi could take the initiative and take the initiative to attack. Perhaps he could easily defeat the enemy.
Li Jing only needed to lead Wu Tianxi by the nose to Yongjia County and cooperate with the army of New Moon Moe to take down Wu Tianxi at the lowest price.
In addition, Wu Tianxi's main force would be placed at the front during the pursuit. This way, he could attack the enemy as much as possible.
But this way, his two wings would be weaker. Li Jing only needed to attack the left and right wings of Wu Tianxi's army, and he could completely defeat the Yuzhang Army in an instant.
The Jiangdong Army quickly retreated. In the eyes of others, it was as if they had given up a great advantage and chosen to retreat.
Wu Tianxi had just stabilized his position and was ready to counterattack, but the Jiangdong Army retreated quickly, leaving him stunned.
After carefully observing the retreating Jiangdong Army, Wu Tianxi could tell that the Jiangdong Army did not have many soldiers. It would be difficult for an ambush to swallow up the 50,000 Yuzhang Army. That was why he quickly retreated after seeing that he had stabilized his position.
"The main purpose of this ambush is probably to buy time so that the Jiangdong Army can take down Yongjia Prefecture.”
Wu Tianxi frowned and muttered to himself.
"If we take down this ambush, the strength of the Jiangdong Army in Yongjia County will be greatly reduced. At that time, destroying them will be a piece of cake.”
Wu Tianxi made up his mind.
"Pursue!"
The 50,000-strong army began to move as soon as the order was given. They chased after the Jiangdong Army.
While retreating, Li Jing had created the illusion that Wu Tianxi could catch up to him.
The two armies arrived at Yongjia County.
Li Jing suddenly stopped. Wu Tianxi was overjoyed. He hurriedly led his army forward and prepared to destroy the Jiangdong Army.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from both sides. The 20,000 Jiangdong cavalry charged out.
At the same time, Xin Yue'e also deployed her forces to attack the two flanks of the Yuzhang Army.
"Have we arrived at Yongjia County?"
Wu Tianxi exclaimed. At this moment, he finally realized that he had once again fallen into the enemy's trap.
The enemy had deliberately let him chase and then attacked his two wings. Such terrifying military talent made him incomparably terrified.
"Kill them!"
The Jiangdong Army shouted. The Yuzhang Army's flanks were the weakest, and their formation was completely scattered after being attacked.
The Jiangdong cavalry's flank attack was like a sharp scimitar, cutting the Yuzhang Army in half!
The Jiangdong Army let out a series of angry roars. Their eyes were red like those of wild beasts. The Yuzhang Army was shocked by this formation.
Wu Tianxi knew that the morale of the army was in chaos. If he wanted to have a chance of survival, he needed to stabilize the soldiers and the camp.
How could Li Jing give him such a chance?
He directly ordered Xiong Kuohai to go straight to Wu Tianxi, accompanied by 3,000 vanguard troops.
Although Wu Tianxi's strength wasn't bad, there was still a gap between him and Xiong Kuohai.
In less than 20 rounds, Wu Tianxi was taken down. Seeing that their commander had been captured, the Yuzhang Army either fled or put down their weapons and surrendered.
This battle ended with Wu Tianxi being captured alive. Tens of thousands of Yuzhang soldiers fled or died, and more than 20,000 surrendered as captives.
"If you want to kill me or cut me up, it's up to you."
When Wu Tianxi was escorted to Cao Yun, this was what he said.
"Send him to Jiankang to meet Wu Yunzhao.”
Cao Yun said indifferently. After he met his cousin, he would naturally surrender.
