"Rumble…"
Not long after, the 30,000 Yan army approached Boling City.
"Hahaha, the Zhou army took a county from my army. It's not a loss for me to take a city and break a county.”
As they approached Boling City, Wang Xuba couldn't help but laugh.
"Something's not right, but I can't tell what it is.”
However, Wei Daoer, who was standing beside him, felt that something was wrong. Even though the military forces here were already empty, it was too quiet all the way to Boling City.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Zhou army to dispatch everyone to the front line. They would definitely reserve a small portion of their forces.
However, on second thought, the commander of the Zhou army, Li Jing, was an unknown person who had just won a great victory. It was impossible for him to set his sights on the rear.
Naturally, there would be no precautions.
"Quickly take down Boling City!”
Wang Xuba pulled out his sword and pointed it straight at Boling City in front of him. He looked high-spirited.
"Kill them!"
Immediately, the sky was filled with shouts and killing sounds. The Yan army carried all kinds of weapons and rushed towards Boling City.
Wang Xuba and Wei Daoer rode on their horses to hold the fort, trying to take down the city as soon as possible.
"Ta…Ta…"
Soon, the Yan army that was approaching Boling City set up simple scaling ladders and many archers were ready.
"Whoosh…"
All of a sudden, a nameless whirlwind appeared, and countless arrows shot over from all directions. The density of the arrows could be said to be overwhelming.
Moreover…The main target of the attack was the two wings of the Yan army. Because their attention was focused on the front, who would have thought that there would be such a change in the rear?
"Not good, this is bad!"
Hearing the whistling sound that represented a large number of arrows, Wei Daoer could not help but exclaim that this was bad. He immediately realized that the Zhou army was on guard.
The reason why they took down Xinle so quickly was to make them think that their forces were empty and then rush straight to Boling City.
Once they went deep into this place, the Zhou army would definitely intercept them from behind. If their judgment was correct, the Zhou army would probably also attack them.
"Kill…"
As expected, tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers in black armor charged out from the rear, cutting off the only path of retreat for the Yan army.
"What a good move to catch a turtle in a jar. Li Jing is not simple. What kind of monsters are the people that Zhou Hou has found?”
Wei Daoer couldn't help but sigh in response. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the top of Boling City.
They saw a man with eyes like torches looking at them indifferently. This person was undoubtedly Li Jing.
"Damn it, we underestimated the enemy. The new commander of the Zhou army is not a simple character.”
Wang Xuba's face turned extremely ugly, as if he had just eaten a dead cockroach. Where did Zhou Hou find such a genius? Why didn't he come to him?
"Ah!"
Miserable screams rang out continuously. Blood splattered everywhere, and many Yan soldiers were shot like hedgehogs.
For example, Wang Xuba, the Duke of Yan, was shot to death by arrows before he could even react.
One of them even shot through the head and sprayed white flowers all over the ground. The death was simply too tragic.
"I'm unwilling!"
These were Wang Xuba's last words before he died. He fell off his horse and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Duke Yan!"
Seeing this, Wei Daoer could not help but cry out in grief. Duke Yan was too pitiful.
"Look, Duke Yan is dead, dead.”
At this moment, the Yan army suddenly became chaotic. Many people instantly lost their fighting spirit.
"Don't panic, follow me and kill our way out."
Wei Daoer glanced around. The only way to survive was to kill their way out from the back. Even if the possibility was not high, it was still the only way out.
"Gah…"
Wei Daoer immediately spurred his horse forward, followed closely by the thousand Yan soldiers. As long as he could get out of Boling County, he could use the remaining soldiers to make a comeback.
"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Can you escape?”
Li Jing stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back and his eyes narrowed slightly.
They had thought of everything they could think of. Under such circumstances, Wei Daoer would not be able to break out of the encirclement. The Yan army could forget about escaping.
"Kill…"
Faced with a dead end, Wei Daoer and the thousands of Yan soldiers were very brave and had the intention to charge out.
However, Li Jing's eyelids didn't even move. He just looked at Wei Daoer calmly.
"Drink, drink!"
Wei Daoer, who was riding on a warhorse, led the Yan army to break through the second layer of obstruction. However, the Zhou army at the front suddenly retreated to the sides.
Then, they saw a long spear in their hands. The murderous aura appeared in their eyes, and everyone felt extremely desperate.
"Puchi…Puchi…"
In an instant, deafening shouts rang out as spears flashed and stabbed forward with all their might.
“呯!”
Immediately, Wei Daoer's arm was stabbed, and the whining warhorse threw him off, but he tried his best to get up and escape.
However, would the Zhou army give him the chance to act?
"Ah!"
Many soldiers of the Zhou army quickly stepped forward and pulled out their swords from their waists. The sharp blades slashed at Wei Daoer's body in unison, and his bloody hands fell from the crowd.
The figure tried his best to pull himself up from the crowd, but the last scream died out and the bloody hand drooped weakly.
"Kill them!"
The archers stopped shooting arrows and charged out from the empty space on both sides. Now, the Zhou army had officially begun to surround and kill.
In the absence of a commander and backbone, the Yan army's defeat was destined. Large numbers of corpses fell in pools of blood.
Drops of blood flowed down and gathered in the low-lying area. The thick smell of blood spread out, making people want to vomit.
" Surrender, we surrender."
"Duke Yan is already dead, so why should we persist?”
"Even General Wei is dead. What's the point of fighting? Surrender to the Zhou army.”
Many Yan soldiers put down their weapons in panic and squatted on the ground obediently.
The battle was coming to an end. After encountering the ambush, Wang Xuba and Wei Daoer died here one after another, both in extremely tragic ways.
"Pass down the order to clean up the battlefield and then wipe out the remaining forces of the Yan army.”
Li Jing said after seeing this.
"Be nimble, quick, quick…"
After the victory, the Yan army still had 10,000 soldiers left in Zhao County and other places. After Xu Ba and the others died in battle, they were no match for the Zhou army.
After taking down Xingtang, Gaoyi, and other places, the remnants of the Yan army were completely wiped out.
"I have completed my trust in Zhou Hou.”
Li Jing muttered to himself as he looked in the direction of Antler Pass after reaching the city wall of Heng Mountain City.
In this battle, apart from taking down many cities, the 30,000 new soldiers of the Zhou army had undergone a true transformation from new recruits to veterans.
In addition, the Yan army had been selected from the captives, and 20,000 suitable ones had been selected to be incorporated into the Flying Tiger Infantry. The strength of the Zhou army had been greatly increased.
"Zhou Hou gambled to produce a military genius with unique courage!”
Fang Xuanling, who had witnessed the entire process, felt extremely emotional.
Although he could indeed destroy the Yan army with the same amount of troops, it would not be as easy as Li Jing.
