Special War God

Four days later, the Bai Kingdom army appeared again to the west of Xiyuan City.

Xia Zhongnan had already learned from the scouts that the army coming this time was 500,000 strong and led by Kou Zhanyong himself.

The 14th Army's reconnaissance team had already established contact with the spies who had infiltrated the White Country. In addition to their own reconnaissance, the way they obtained intelligence also included the information sent by those spies.

Even if he had great abilities, with just 30,000 men he would never be a match for the 500,000-strong army led by Kou Zhanyong.

The south gate of Xiyuan City was wide open, and the Tongjiang Army and Xiangshui Army were evacuating Xiyuan City.

The first general of the Bai State's vanguard troops to arrive was named Sun Wenfa. When he learned that the Wu State's army was evacuating Xiyuan, he was hesitant for a moment.

If he let this team escape right under his nose, how would he explain to Kou Zhanyong and the king?

But if they launched an attack rashly, the lesson of Gong Yang An Sheng would still be fresh in their minds, as it had only been a few days since that incident.

Even though the Wu State vassal army in front of him only had 30,000 troops, Sun Wenfa did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

At this time, the scouts reported again that the Wu army had withdrawn from Xiyuan and was advancing rapidly towards Fengqi Mountain on the south side of Xiyuan.

His adjutant Shen Yi said anxiously: "General, if we don't catch up, once the Wu army enters Fengqi Mountain, it will be too late!"

Sun Wenfa replied: "We can't act rashly. This Wu army has eaten up Gongyang Ansheng's 100,000-man army. They are retreating from Xiyuan so openly. Who knows if there is a trap in this?"

Shen Yi retorted: "Gongyang Ansheng was defeated by 30,000 troops because he was ambushed at night and his 100,000-man army was in a panic. We now have 50,000 troops, following closely behind. I don't understand how they can defeat us with only 30,000 troops?"

After Sun Wenfa thought about it again, he finally made a decision and ordered: "Shen Yi, you lead 10,000 cavalry to chase the Wu army immediately, and I will lead 40,000 infantry to follow. Remember, be careful in everything and never fall into the enemy's ambush."

Conventionally, only 10,000 cavalry could deal with 30,000 infantry, and even 50,000 infantry would not be afraid. However, the previous performance of the Wu State vassal army was too dazzling, which forced Sun Wenfa to be cautious.

More than an hour later, the cavalrymen galloped past and encountered the fleeing Wu army in a vast plain area.

Seeing the Bai cavalry appear, the Wu army immediately stopped fleeing and formed a solid defensive formation. Shen Yi reined in his horse from a distance and carefully observed the movements around him. As for the prestige of this small force of Wu, he did not act rashly.

After observing for a while, Shen Yi said: "The Wu army is indeed disciplined and moves in an orderly manner. But I don't believe that my 10,000 cavalrymen will be afraid of your 20,000 infantrymen on this plain! Brothers, follow me and wipe out this Wu army!" After that, he took the lead in charging the Wu army, and 10,000 cavalrymen followed closely behind, shouting deafeningly and galloping away.

For the infantry, the high-speed charging of the cavalry was undoubtedly a disaster. I had never seen any infantry that could maintain its formation under the charge of the cavalry before. Soon, when they were only sixty or seventy meters away from the square formation of the Wu army, Shen Yi, who was rushing in the front, was suddenly thrown off his horse.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator with quick reactions. He somersaulted in the air and landed safely in the bushes. But when he turned his head, he was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. It turned out that under the bushes, there were already countless densely packed holes, only the size of two palms and less than a foot deep. His horse happened to step into one of the holes. Due to the high speed of running, the horse's legs were instantly broken by its own impact, and he was also thrown off the horse's back.

Shen Yi wanted to shout "There's a trap, stop!" But the cavalry were charging at full speed, how could they stop immediately? In the blink of an eye, a large number of cavalry fell into the trap and then fell down in groups.

At this moment, the Wu army also began to move. They dispersed to both sides, drew their bowstrings and put arrows on them. The dense arrows rained down like raindrops on the Bai cavalry trapped in the trap. Seeing the miserable state of the cavalry who followed him through life and death, Shen Yi felt as desperate as if he were dead.

Sun Wenfa's warning seemed to still echo in his ears, but the 10,000 elite Bai cavalrymen in front of him were about to become a thing of the past. He didn't know that their every move was under the surveillance of Wu's scouts, and the retreat speed of Wu's 20,000 infantry was adjusted at any time according to their pursuit. If the Bai army did not pursue, it would be fine. Once they did, the place where they would eventually catch up with the Wu army was already predetermined.

In the jungle on the other side, Xia Zhongnan was riding on a warhorse. Looking at the Bai cavalry troops who had no power to fight back, he said with a smile: "The good show of the Tongjiang Army and the Xiangshui Army has begun. Now it's the turn of our Chifang Army to show our skills!" As he said that, he turned his horse's head and galloped in the other direction.

There, more than 8,000 Chifang soldiers had already ridden on the horses captured from Gongyang Ansheng's vanguard army, and had transformed themselves into a cavalry unit. When Xia Zhongnan arrived at the meeting point, Liu Dabazi asked him, "How is the battle situation of the Tongjiang Army and the Xiangshui Army?"

Xia Zhongnan smiled and said, "The 10,000 elite cavalrymen of the Bai Kingdom have been completely wiped out. Now it's up to you, General, to perform!"

Liu Dabazi laughed heartily: "Life is like a drama, so of course we have to perform it brilliantly!"

After that, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's go!"

The Chifang cavalry climbed over two hills and came to an open road ahead, where they saw Sun Wenfa leading his 40,000 infantrymen marching quickly.

Suddenly, Sun Wenfa noticed a cavalry column appearing in his sight. He initially thought that it was the cavalry led by Shen Yi, but upon closer inspection, he found that they were all wearing the uniforms of the Wu State Army.

At this moment, Sun Wenfa's heart sank suddenly, remembering that Gongyang Ansheng did have 10,000 cavalrymen. Now he understood that his 100,000-man army was completely wiped out, and the 10,000 war horses must have fallen into the hands of the Wu army.

At this moment, he felt more and more how wise it was for Kou Zhanyong to ask the king to eliminate Gongyang Ansheng's entire family.

Since that bastard was already dead, why did he give the Wu army 10,000 war horses as a gift for nothing? What kind of thing is this? Not only is he dead, but he is also causing trouble for his friendly army!

Before Sun Wenfa had time to think, the cavalry had already charged towards them and shot a rain of arrows from a distance.

His 40,000 infantrymen were marching at full speed, forming a snake-like formation several miles long. When they suddenly encountered an attack from cavalry, how could they organize an effective counterattack?

The soldiers at the head of the snake immediately fell into panic, and without any orders, everyone fled in all directions.
