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

Gongyang Ge personally commanded the front line and deployed a large number of outstanding generals and fierce generals with extremely high martial arts values ​​to form a sharp arrow. Like a sharp sword, they tore through the defense line of the Yan army, waving the weapons in their hands and ruthlessly killing the Yan army.

Although Jiang Shun and Fan Boyang mobilized troops to block the gap here, it was of no avail. Instead, the other lines of defense were left empty and a gap was torn open by the Qian army.

The defense line of the Southern Expedition Army was broken into pieces and scattered everywhere. Finally, the main force of the Qian Army broke through the defense line and continued to expand.

Seeing this, Jiang Shun knew that he could not stop the enemy. The casualties of the Southern Expedition Army had almost reached half. If the battle continued, it would be useless even if all the soldiers died. So he decisively ordered the army to gather to both sides and let the Qian army go out.

But he did not betray his teammates. He immediately sent scouts to inform the Southern King Ma Ling at full speed. After all, Ma Ling was still in the south.

When Ma Ling, who was fighting in the south, learned about this, his face turned pale and he wanted to chop Jiang Shun to death on the spot.

But he also knew that killing Jiang Shun now would be of no use. What he had to do now was to maximize the benefits and minimize the losses.

He shouted,

"Go tell Jiang Shun that it doesn't matter if he lets the main force of the Qian army out, but after the main force comes out, he must immediately close the encirclement and surround all the remaining troops of the Qian army. Either annihilate them or persuade them to surrender.

The fleeing main force of the Qian army will be killed by me."

"As ordered!"

The King of the South looked at the enemy troops in the south. Although he had opened many gaps in the enemy's formation, he could not fight anymore at this time. Otherwise, when the Qian army in the south retreated, his 50,000 Zhennan troops would be surrounded.

He assembled this Zhennan Army and turned to attack backwards.

The Qian army that has broken out with all its might will inevitably move southward at a very fast speed. By then, the main force of the Qian army, which is in an unstable formation and is retreating, will definitely be much easier to defeat than the Qian army that is in a neat defensive formation.

The King of the South led this Zhennan Army and galloped quickly, bypassing the left wing of the Qian Army and preparing to infiltrate the enemy's rear.

On the northern battlefield, Shen Changgong, holding a telescope, saw that the main force of the Qian army had broken through and couldn't help but sigh.

"The bravery of the Qian army is unprecedented. As expected of the largest and richest country in the south, whether it's the command level of the generals or the equipment and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, they are the strongest.

Being broken out is normal. Regardless, our army has won a great victory in this battle."

Shen Changgong ordered the entire army to encircle the 40,000 Qian troops who stayed behind to persuade them to surrender.

Now, the Qian army has retreated southward, and it is definitely too late for the infantry to pursue them. Moreover, it is almost dark, and the soldiers are exhausted. No one can bear to fight at night under the lights.

Let the Zhennan Army attack the Qian Army for a while and kill more of them.

As for the eastern battlefield, the distance was too far to provide support, and the Chu army had also retreated.

On the Chu army side, after learning that the Qian army had successfully broken through, Xiang Qu immediately and decisively ordered a retreat. The entire army evacuated in an orderly manner, retreating southward step by step.

Try to minimize your own casualties.

The Qian army was retreating quickly, and the Chu army was retreating slowly.

The Tianyu Army and the 50,000 Zhennan Army led by Zhang Han were chasing them.

As Xiang Qu retreated, he felt something was wrong.

How the hell can Qian Jun run so fast?

Once the Qian army runs away, won’t I be besieged by the Yan army?

So Xiang Qu also gave orders to advance at full speed and retreat quickly.

The Chu army started running, and the Tianyu army chased them for a while, but found that they could not catch up. Yu Huatian also knew that his soldiers had not eaten for a day and were exhausted, so he stopped pursuing them and the entire army retreated, leaving Zhang Han to lead the Zhennan army to pursue them for a while.

Then, a wonderful scene appeared on the battlefield.

Whether it was the Chu army in the east or the Qian army in the west, they were all running towards the south for their lives, with 50,000 Zhennan troops chasing them from behind.

In this war, it is clear who will win and who will lose.

On the western battlefield, the Yan army surrounded the 40,000 Qian troops and shouted at them to surrender their weapons without killing them.

The whole world knows that the Yan army never kills prisoners, and the Yan army always keeps its word and has an excellent reputation.

The Qian army that was left behind to die was more or less resentful. After all, everyone would wonder why they were not the ones to retreat, and why they were the ones to stay behind to die?

So, after a symbolic resistance, the Qian army laid down their weapons and surrendered one after another.

The Yan army escorted the prisoners and began to retreat back to the camp.

At this time, the sun in the west has completely disappeared, visibility has decreased, and it will soon be completely dark.

Shen Changgong ordered the auxiliary troops to clean up the battlefield and the army to eat and rest.

He himself also entered the city and came to the top of the city wall.

Yan Fuyao and the others turned their heads and looked over, only to see Shen Changgong taking off his helmet and walking towards them with big strides.

The civil officials all bowed and saluted, shouting,

"Congratulations to Prince Lanling for leading the brave warriors of Dayan to defeat the enemy and return victorious!"

Shen Changgong looked at the many civil servants in front of him, a little surprised, and asked,

"Why are you all here? Are you here to watch us fight and enjoy the fun?"

The civil servants looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Yan Fuyao said with a smile,

"They are all newly selected scholars from the imperial court. In order to take charge of governing Chu and Qian, I brought them here in advance.

They have never seen a battlefield and don't know what it's like, so I brought them here to see it."

"What's the point of watching this? If you really want to understand the cruelty of the battlefield, go clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and see how horrible real war is."

The civil officials were quite surprised. His Majesty and the prince were really a couple. They actually thought of the same thing.

Yan Fuyao smiled slightly, walked forward and said,

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's get down to business. You've successfully defeated the enemy this time. That's cause for celebration. Do you want to celebrate?"

Shen Changgong shook his head seriously and said,

“This battle is not a great victory, it is just a defeat of the enemy. The encirclement has been completed, but we are facing the Qian army.

If it were the Chu Army, Qi Army, Sichuan Army, etc., this encirclement would definitely have wiped them out.

The Qian army was too fierce, and they were defeated by them."

"It doesn't matter. The enemy is right there. They can't escape. We'll take our time defeating them."

Yan Fuyao did not blame Shen Changgong for not choosing to surround the Chu army and annihilate them. She would not offend her man in this place.

Moreover, if the tactics this time were used, even if the Qian army and the Chu army were swapped, the Tianyu army would not be able to stop so many Qian troops. Before the Yan army could completely wipe out the Chu army, the Qian army's reinforcements would have arrived. After the two armies merged, the Yan army's losses would only be greater, and it might even be unable to win and would have to withdraw.
