Chapter 279: The Second Army Arrives, Attacking from Three Sides
Fairy Mei Yan was touched by Shen Changgong's cold yet caring tone, but her red and murderous cold eyes made her feel scared from the bottom of her heart.
"Just go, who cares? This guy becomes a different person once he's on the battlefield."
She muttered softly and rode her horse to the back, escorted by two guards.
She didn't know that Shen Changgong had two faces.
One is when he is in normal times, he likes to laugh, is very gentle, and gives people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
When it comes to killing, he is cold-blooded and ruthless, with murderous intent bursting out. The whole person is like a killing machine, with only fighting in his eyes.
This was the first time she saw Shen Changgong kill someone, and also the first time she saw Shen Changgong with this face.
But really... so handsome.
Shen Changgong did not personally escort his injured lover back to heal. He was the commander-in-chief, and his mission on the battlefield was to command and lead the army to fight. If he left rashly, it would only kill more people.
The general held his injured lover and marched against the enemy troops. She was the only one in his eyes. This romantic and beautiful plot only happened in novels, not in reality.
He is a clear-headed person who knows what is most important.
If he really did that, it would not be called romantic, but stupid and incompetent.
Shen Changgong led the generals and soldiers and continued to push forward, successfully stabilizing the Mo Hei line that was broken through by the enemy.
Then he dismounted, dodged and moved swiftly between several Kun soldiers, and came to the side of the mighty Kun general. While the other party was fighting with Yang Hongying and Su Wuan, he slashed the horse's belly with a knife.
In such a chaotic battle, Shen Changgong would definitely not be able to stab. He could only chop and slash. Once the knife stabbed into the horse's belly or the human body, it would be stuck in the bones and could not be pulled out. In one or two seconds, it would be enough for him to die.
The horse was slashed on the belly, blood spurted out, and it fell to the side in pain. Shen Changgong immediately dodged to the side.
The fierce general was caught off guard and fell down involuntarily.
How could Su Wuan let the opponent go when he had exposed such a big flaw? Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable chassis and the wide open middle door, Su Wuan took the long spear in his hand and threw it directly at him.
The general fell on his back, and the tip of Su Wuan's halberd pierced his mouth and fiercely pierced his throat. The general convulsed all over and died on the spot.
Su Wuan rode over, bent down to pick up his halberd, and grinned at Shen Changgong.
"You have done a great job, kid."
After Shen Changgong said this, Su Wuan laughed even more happily, turned around and rushed towards the enemy again.
At this time, Mo Hei also caught up and said with his palms clasped,
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."
Shen Changgong took off his mask, took out the water bag, took a big gulp, and said,
"What's your fault? The enemy sent out such a powerful general and launched such an attack. It's obvious that it was premeditated. Conventional defenses can't stop it. It doesn't matter who comes. There's no need to blame yourself. Victory and defeat are common in war, and we haven't lost.
Legion battles are a constant struggle to seize the front lines and attack each other. It is normal to be defeated. No one is an invincible general.
Mo Hei was relieved after hearing this, and then said,
"Your Highness, why don't the Southern King's Zhennan Army attack the enemy's rear? If they disrupt the enemy's rear..."
"It's no use disrupting the rear army."
Shen Changgong said,
"Nie Bei is in the central army. We haven't even finished killing the front army yet. If the Zhennan Army attacks the rear army alone, it will easily be surrounded, and the enemy's rear army will also defend itself.
The Zhennan Army is used to decide the victory. After the Tianyu Army and the Weihu Army encircle the enemy on both wings, they will attract the enemy's main force to the front. At that time, the enemy's rear will be empty, and the Zhennan Army will be useful.
That’s the real time to enter the market.”
As he spoke, Shen Changgong picked up the water bag and drank some water.
Mo Hei said admiringly,
"Learning from the prince is something you can never learn enough in your lifetime."
"Pfft...cough..."
Shen Changgong spat out a mouthful of water, and strange images appeared in his mind.
He plugged the water bag and hung it back on his waist, saying,
"Messenger, go ask those useless people in the Shenji Camp what they are doing. Why aren't they firing their artillery at the enemy's center? Bombard their flags!"
"Let's go, follow me and fight for a while!"
After saying that, Shen Changgong took the knife and rushed in again.
In fact, we really can’t blame the people in Shenjiying.
The main reason was that there were too many people on the battlefield and the battle line was too long. It was so densely packed that it was hard to see clearly, and people were afraid of accidentally hurting their own people.
The enemy's central army is still inside the camp. Although there is no wall, the distance is still far.
They were on flat ground, behind the army. The enemy's large banner was behind Kun's army. Shen Changgong felt it was close because he was on the front line.
Due to limited vision, it is really difficult to hit the opponent's large flag.
The Shenjiying had no choice but to bombard them.
The artillery bombarded, the infantry charged, after the infantry charged, the artillery bombarded, after the artillery bombarded, the infantry charged.
With the coordination of infantry and artillery, the enemy's line of defense continued to shrink, and the Yan army continued to advance.
Although the number was 180,000 against more than 200,000, the Yan army was composed of elite central troops, while the enemy was composed of poorly trained local troops. Relying solely on the Changning and Pingnan armies, the Yan army was able to counterattack the enemy.
From the start of the war to after noon, a full two hours, the Yan Army and the Kun Army had been fighting, and the Tianyu Army and the Weihu Army finally arrived.
They walked here. If they had run more than 20 miles with a heavy load, they would have collapsed from exhaustion before they even reached the finish line, let alone fighting.
After the two armies arrived, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the enemy's flank.
With the participation of the two armies, the Yan army completely stabilized the situation and attacked the enemy from three sides.
The fire camp in the back finally had time to deliver the food. They dragged large rice buckets and let the soldiers on the front line take turns to eat.
After fighting for two hours, Shen Changgong was tired and hungry, so he took his generals to the back to eat together.
The generals did not despise it and just sat on the ground and started eating.
Shen Changgong held the bowl and the steamed bun and squatted aside to eat while looking at the battlefield.
After finishing a steamed bun, Shen Changgong felt not even half full. He wanted to get more, but found that there was no more in the basket.
After all, everyone was very hungry and was scrambling for food.
A fifteen-year-old Yan army soldier came to Shen Changgong with a steamed bun he had just snatched in his hand, squatted down and handed it to him, saying,
"My Lord, this is for you to eat."
Shen Changgong looked at the other person's clear eyes and the action of handing him the steamed bun, and suddenly felt that if he dared to take the steamed bun and eat it, he would wake up in the middle of the night and slap himself.
Seeing the boy's actions, the other soldiers around also handed the steamed buns in their hands to Shen Changgong...
