As the allied forces of the powerful families were pushed back inch by inch.

The morale of the entire coalition forces plummeted rapidly, as clearly seen.

This is not what we originally agreed on!

What happened to the promise that those commoners would weaken the morale of the imperial army?

Why are these imperial troops getting more and more enthusiastic about killing each other?

After killing so many civilians, why does he still have such fierce fighting spirit?

Could these people all be serial killers?!

Not only did the soldiers of the Allied Forces think this way, but people from aristocratic families couldn't help but think the same way.

And what they especially couldn't understand was...

Why did morale plummet at the beginning, but then suddenly surge like a shot of adrenaline as soon as they surrounded us?

What?

So they weren't here to surround them, but to help stack buffs, right?

Completely baffled, the members of the aristocratic families were no fools.

While ordering his men to hold the line, he also dispatched a large number of scouts to the enemy camp.

Something unusual must be going on. If they can find the reason for this anomaly, they will have a chance to turn the tide of the battle!

And spying on information is not difficult.

After all, Li Er did not conceal his arrival at all, but appeared openly before all the soldiers.

Upon learning that Emperor Taizong had personally come to the battlefield, the members of the aristocratic families immediately realized the situation.

This is a great disaster, but it is also an opportunity!

As long as they can break into the military camp and kill or even capture Emperor Taizong alive, the imperial coalition will collapse without a fight!

Even who should sit on the throne next is up to them!

At that time, the world will be in their hands!

"Issue the order: do not engage the enemy head-on. Instead, infiltrate and directly attack the enemy camp. Whoever breaks through the camp first will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and enter the ranks of noble families!"

An order was quickly relayed.

In order to fully inspire the morale of their soldiers, they made such a promise!

It's always better to have another family to share the spoils than to have the table overturned by Li Er!

A dynasty that lasted a hundred years, a family that lasted a thousand years.

This is a phrase often uttered by members of aristocratic families, and their soldiers are already very familiar with it.

Able to lead their family into the ranks of prominent families!

This is far more tempting to them than ten thousand gold pieces!

What's more, they don't even have to fight the enemy head-on; all they have to do is break into the enemy camp!

Suddenly, the entire battle situation seemed to become bizarre.

The imperial army, led by Yuchi Gong and others, spread out in a fan shape, intending to crush them directly and leave no survivors.

However, the allied forces of the powerful families abandoned a large number of positions in a short period of time and plunged straight into the heart of the territory in a dagger-like formation!

Their chosen target was the position where Yuchi Gong was stationed.

Because they failed to notice this in time, they were able to penetrate the vicinity of the main camp like a sharp knife in a short period of time.

"Pass on my military order: everyone must stop the advance of the allied forces of the powerful clans at all costs!"

"Even if it means death, your corpses will block their path!"

"His Majesty is right behind us. If they manage to break through, we will all die a hundred times over!"

Yuchi Gong reacted immediately.

But the enemy's movements were simply too fast.

The promises made by the powerful families drove each of them to the brink of madness.

Even though the soldiers around them were fighting desperately, they couldn't stop them at all.

"General Ge has been separated from us. It's likely that the enemy deliberately misled him with false information. He's still unaware that His Majesty is in danger!"

"Send a few men to inform General Ge to return to defend the area. Even if it means death, make sure they deliver the message before they die!"

"As long as we hold out until General Ge returns to reinforce, all of these people will die without a burial place!"

After repeated defeats, Yuchi Gong never received a reply from Geshu Han.

He then realized it.

Geshuhan is probably in a killing frenzy!

The powerful families seized upon his impulsive nature and used a portion of their forces to lure him away.

It seems our opponent isn't entirely ignorant of military strategy after all.

Seeing the enemy army closing in, Yuchi Gong sent out his personal guards to deliver messages, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He underestimated his opponent.

This is a major taboo for any general!

Perhaps it was because he hadn't been on the battlefield for too long that he made such a mistake.

I thought that after His Majesty personally went to the battlefield, a crushing victory would follow.

But who would have thought.

The powerful families noticed the change in morale immediately and sent people to investigate His Majesty's movements.

Not to mention, they were able to make such a brilliant arrangement in such a short time.

While keeping Geshuhan from noticing something was wrong, it also nearly drove him to the brink of despair!

"Damn it, I never thought that after following His Majesty in battles across the country for so long and surviving, I would end up dying at the hands of these disgusting bastards."

Seeing that his own forces were tied down in various places, and that he had less than 5,000 men left behind, he realized that his forces were being held back in many places.

Yuchi Gong sighed helplessly as he looked up at the sky.

He is not afraid of death.

I fear that even after my death, I will not be able to stop the allied forces of the powerful families from setting foot in the camp!

Just as he was preparing to fight to the death, a somewhat familiar yet unexpected figure suddenly emerged from the flank.

A single spear thrust pierced through the enemy general, and at the same time, a charge by the Xuanjia warriors routed the enemy army!

Guo Ziyi!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yuchi Gong reacted swiftly.

The few thousand people who were not held back immediately pressed forward, joining forces with the Xuanjia to encircle and flank from both sides!

The timing was absolutely brilliant!

If they had acted too early, these thousand-odd Xuanjia soldiers wouldn't have made a ripple; if they had acted too late, they wouldn't have been able to reverse the tide of defeat.

Just when the enemy thought victory was assured, they launched a surprise attack.

At the same time, they swiftly and decisively killed the enemy's commander!

"Guo Ziyi, you're really something else!"

Yuchi Gong roared, his face instantly filled with excitement.

Survival from desperate situation!

Guo Ziyi's arrival was so perfectly timed!

No, perhaps all of this was within Guo Ziyi's calculations!

He had long anticipated that the news of His Majesty's arrival at the military camp could not be kept secret.

They had already guessed the aristocratic families' plans!

So they went with the flow and remained inactive until the perfect opportunity arrived!

This means that Guo Ziyi not only had superb military insight, but also had a pretty good grasp of Yuchi Gong's abilities!

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I merely happened to capture a few enemy spies."

Guo Ziyi smiled at Yuchi Gong from afar.

At the same time, he also felt a lingering fear.

At first, he also thought that the next battle would be about seizing credit and wouldn't be too eventful.

He only realized this after he captured several spies sent by powerful families!

If he were from a prominent family, he would surely have made arrangements to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory!

So he remained inactive.

Unsurprisingly, there's no shortage of his thousand-plus Xuanjia armor on the battlefield.

But if something unexpected happens, like in the current situation, he becomes a surprise weapon.

A surprise attack that completely crushed the hopes of powerful families!

At this moment, the victory was completely secured!

Li Er watched the battle unfolding not far away from his camp, his palms sweating with anxiety.

He was just about to mount his horse and charge into battle.

He is a general of the Heavenly Strategy Army; how could he obediently wait to be captured?

Even if it means death, it must be on the battlefield where we charge into battle on horseback!
