I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Ma Ling came down from the general's platform, mounted his warhorse, and came directly to the camp behind with his guards and banner.

After calling on the Zhennan Army, Ma Ling led them to detour from the east, which was the middle part of the Tianyu Army and the Pingnan Army, four miles away. The road was flat and convenient for attack.

Yan Fuyao, standing on the top of the city wall, saw with his own eyes that the flag of the King of the South moved along with the cavalry of the Zhennan Army, weaving between the two armies and heading south.

In addition, the Southern Expedition Army, which was originally behind the Shenfeng Army, was also mobilized to bypass the west.

Go and block the gap in Qian’s army.

After seeing this scene, Yan Fuyao frowned and said to Gongsun Wan'er beside him,

"What is Shen Changgong going to do? Is he transferring all the Zhennan Army and Zhengnan Army away?"

"Well, maybe he wants to completely surround the enemy. He wants to eat up this entire army."

"This is ridiculous! He only has the Divine Vanguard Army left by his side. They are a newly surrendered army whose combat effectiveness and loyalty are unknown. They are also the last line of defense to protect the city. How can he only keep the Divine Vanguard Army by his side?"

Hearing this, Yu Ziling immediately said,

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead 50,000 Yuying troops out of the city to help the prince fight. Please grant me your permission!"

Yan Fuyao put down the telescope, glanced at Yu Ziling sideways, and just looked at her without saying a word.

Yu Ziling looked at her for a moment, then turned her head away guiltily.

The empress's aura was so strong that she couldn't help but feel scared.

After a moment, Yan Fuyao said,

"Last night, Shen Changgong told me to keep an eye on you and never let you go to the battlefield.

You want to transfer the troops now? Aren't you afraid that the enemy will suddenly attack the city? Don't you want to protect me?"

"The enemy is surrounded, and the 300,000 Chu troops are also fighting our army. They don't even have ladders, so how can they attack the city?

Moreover, there are so many hot air balloons flying in the sky, monitoring the enemy's movements. How could the enemy possibly attack us?

Your Majesty, rest assured, I am only going to protect him and will never go into battle to kill the enemy."

"No, I trust him more than you. He must have his reasons for doing this. Don't worry about it. Just do your job well.

He doesn't need your protection, I need you, and the child in your belly needs you."

Hearing this, Yu Ziling could only sigh and mutter,

"I'm so angry! Why did I get pregnant at this exact moment? I really hate him."

"When you are born, your eyes will be filled with love."

Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at her.

Really, there are a bunch of women here who want to get pregnant but can’t, and even if they get pregnant they don’t want it and don’t know how to cherish it.

On the battlefield below, King Ma Ling of the South led the 50,000 Zhennan Army and quickly rushed around the battlefield and penetrated into the rear of the enemy.

Gong Yang Ge in the Qian army could not see such a long distance, but he had scouts.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Southern King of the Yan army is personally leading the Southern Control Army to make a detour towards our rear!"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Yan army's southern expeditionary force has moved, circumventing from the west. Their intentions are unclear!"

After hearing these two pieces of information, Gongyang Ge immediately realized what the Yan army was going to do.

This is to completely surround them and annihilate them here.

He looked at the armies on the left and right wings behind him, and saw such a large gap in between, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Hurry up and send the order to the Second and Third Legions in the southern battlefield to withdraw troops, plug the gap, form a defensive line, and keep the Yan Army's Zhennan Army out!

In addition, the left and right wings gradually retreated, shrinking the battlefield."

"Send another group to the Chu army and tell them that we are surrounded. Tell them to send a small number of troops to cover the rear and quickly circle back to join us. Then we can fight together and attack the Yan army from both sides!"

At this critical moment, Gongyang Ge demonstrated the reaction speed of an excellent commander. He planned to let the southern army surround and block the gap first. If he could stop the Zhennan Army, he would do so. If he couldn't, it didn't matter. After letting the Zhennan Army in, he would block the gap again, and then shrink the left and right wings. While concentrating the troops, he could also suffocate the Zhennan Army inside.

Although there were battles going on all sides, as long as the Southern King Ma Ling could be suffocated to death here, the Yan army would be like losing an arm.

Then let the Chu army move closer to their side, attack the Pingnan Army of the Yan Army from both sides, and combine the forces. There is still hope of winning this battle.

But there is an old saying that goes, "Man proposes, God disposes."

Soon, the King of the South led the Zhennan Army and rushed over.

At this time, the troops in the southern part of the Qian army had just begun to gather together, and had not yet completely merged, when the Zhennan army came and easily killed them. They shot arrows at the Qian army on both sides and charged back and forth in the enemy's formation.

The King of the South has rich combat experience. He will not rush forward blindly. Instead, he will lead 40,000 people to charge in the front, and another 10,000 people will guard the gaps in the enemy army to prevent them from being surrounded.

The King of the South swung the butcher knife in his hand and chopped for a full hour. The 50,000 Zhennan Army killed at least an equal number of Qian Army, but this was not important. What was important was that they had smashed the enemy's inner formation to pieces.

If Gongyang Ge's central army had not been heavily guarded and surrounded in an iron barrel formation, the King of the South would have wanted to charge at him.

An hour later, the Southern Expedition Army finally arrived and quickly surrounded the Qian Army.

Because the Zhennan Army had been guarding the gap in the middle, the Qian Army on both wings had been unable to close the gap, so the Zhengnan Army took advantage of the situation and penetrated and launched an attack on the enemy.

The situation on the battlefield now is more than just chaos.

Now, the formation of the Qian army is in the shape of a concave character, while the formation of the Yan army is in a larger concave character, surrounding the Qian army.

There was chaos within the Qian army. Gongyang Ge acted decisively and adjusted the troops, ordering all the Qian army's outward-facing sides to go on the defensive and stop attacking. They focused on defense and waited for the Chu army to arrive and join them.

Gong Yangge's tactics were not wrong, but he misjudged people's hearts.

The bloody battle of Yan Qian's army is still going on.

In response to the Qian army's request for assistance, they split into several teams and headed in different directions.

Some went to the right wing of the Chu army, some went to the center of the Chu army to find Xiang Qu, and some went to Yecheng to let the Chu army or Qian army in Yecheng meet Xiang Qu.

The purpose of choosing multiple routes is to prevent the rescue team from being intercepted by the Yan army, resulting in the news not being able to be transmitted.

Sending multiple teams can avoid this situation, as only one team is needed to deliver the message.

The team's request for help was relatively smooth. The Yan army failed to stop all the teams, and the Qian army's request for help was successfully delivered to Yecheng and Xiang Qu.

Feng Hao, the commander of the Fourth Legion who stayed in Yecheng, also received the news.
