Chapter 294
At the east gate of Qicheng, the most tragic moment has come. In order to successfully break through, Jinli ordered the army to attack regardless of losses.
Especially the infantry, these people are almost cannon fodder. Even if they are elite, Jinli knows that these people cannot be taken away, and can only play the greatest role before destruction.
In order to stop the charge of the Jin soldiers, the Zhenbei Army also took a fearless attitude and fought to the death with them.
Even Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin took action personally, after all, there were many masters around Jinli and Xiaoyao Wang.
With the strength of the two, although they are not afraid of the masters of the immortal realm on land, they can't stand the large number of people on the other side. The two have fallen into a disadvantage in the battle so far, and even face a life-and-death crisis.
"Old Cheng, you and I can't embarrass our brothers. We must keep them no matter what to buy time for General Li."
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin were already injured at this moment, and it became more and more difficult to resist.
"Quick, send everyone up. I don't believe that all the generals of the Zhenbei Army are so strong."
Being held back by Yuchi Gong and the other two, Jin Lu was a little anxious. He knew very well that the enemy's reinforcements were on the way. This was definitely not the time to fight to the death. He had to rush over as soon as possible.
Following Jin Lu's order, the masters around him almost came out in full force and besieged Cheng Yaojin and the other two.
In a precarious situation, Cheng Yaojin and the other two were in danger. Under the siege of so many masters, the Zhenbei Army soldiers under their command could not play any role, and they could only rely on the two of them.
At this critical moment, a hammer flew over and directly killed a Jin master.
"Haha, the brothers are here."
Looking at the familiar big hammer, Cheng Yaojin knew that Pei Yuanqing had arrived. This guy's combat effectiveness was not comparable to the two of them. With Pei Yuanqing here, the crisis of the two was temporarily resolved.
"You take a rest, leave this to me."
Pei Yuanqing, who came on horseback, gave instructions and immediately joined the battlefield.
At the same time, Li Jing and Luo Shixin also arrived, along with them were the masters of Night Prison and some generals in the army, and the situation changed suddenly.
"Not good, the enemy reinforcements have arrived, King Xiaoyao, don't worry about that, while the enemy is being held back, we will leave immediately."
The Jin Brigade has seen the strength of the Zhenbei Army's generals and the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army. If they continue to stay, they may not be able to leave.
"Okay, order the army to attack fiercely, the cavalry to open the way, and we will evacuate immediately."
King Xiaoyao was also afraid. If he couldn't withdraw after fighting this battle, he would not have to leave at all.
The cavalry charge was a great threat to the infantry. Even if the Zhenbei Army had strong individual strength, it could not stop the cavalry charge. Under the fierce attack of the Jin soldiers, the Zhenbei Army had a tendency to be unstable.
"Pei Yuanqing, leave this to us, you go and capture King Xiaoyao."
It was almost impossible to keep all the people in the current situation. The reinforcements brought by Li Jing had not arrived yet, and they could only watch the enemy's cavalry wreak havoc.
"Don't worry, General. He can't get away."
Pei Yuanqing agreed and chased after him immediately. Along the way, no one, whether soldiers or generals, could stop Pei Yuanqing's footsteps.
Soon, Pei Yuanqing caught up with the fleeing King Xiaoyao and other high-ranking officials of the Jin Kingdom.
"Stop him for me."
Seeing Pei Yuanqing chasing him alone, King Xiaoyao was very angry. This was too much of an underestimation. Even if King Xiaoyao had become a stray dog, he was not someone that a young general could bully like this.
Jin Lu didn't say anything. King Xiaoyao's people were buying time, and he didn't want to waste it.
After a while, the sound of fighting in the back disappeared. King Xiaoyao looked back and was shocked. All the people he had sent out were dead, and the enemy general was rushing towards him.
Looking around, King Xiaoyao had no one to send, so he could only look at Jin Lu.
"General Jin, this guy is brave, please send someone to stop him."
Jin Lu turned a deaf ear to King Xiaoyao's call. Leaving someone to stop him would mean death. The remaining people around him had to protect their own safety, so they couldn't just go and die.
"Asshole."
King Xiaoyao understood Jin Lu's attitude. This guy didn't care about him at all at this moment. Helplessly, King Xiaoyao could only ride his horse and flee.
Huh...
A hammer came and hit King Xiaoyao's horse's butt accurately.
"Jin Lu..."
King Xiaoyao fell to the ground in despair and looked at Jin Lu who didn't even look back. A wave of despair surged in his heart.
Not to mention Jin Lu, even the fleeing cavalry, no one stayed to help him. These people were Jin Lu's direct lineage. Without Jin Lu's order, who would care about his life or death?
"Old man, the prince has ordered you to stay. Come here."
Pei Yuanqing grabbed King Xiaoyao and threw him on his horse, then punched him and King Xiaoyao passed out.
Looking at the fleeing Jin army, Pei Yuanqing did not continue to chase them.With a Xiaoyao King, they could no longer catch up with the Jin army, and it was not suitable to continue the war.
It didn't matter if a Jin army ran away. The Jin Kingdom didn't lack this commander. Just capture Xiaoyao King. Long Tian would not let this culprit go.
After a day of fighting, Qicheng gradually returned to peace.
Although the Jin soldiers were brave and good at fighting, it was not a good feeling to be abandoned. Who would fight to the death?
Especially Li Jing's order that the surrenderers would not be killed, and the North would not kill them all. If there was a chance to survive, the resistance would be much smaller.
"General Li, this battle is finally over, and Zhenzhou has been successfully recovered."
In this battle, not many Jin soldiers were captured, less than 100,000, which was not much for the entire invading 2 million Jin soldiers.
This is a national war. In order to deal with this 2 million-strong army, the Zhenbei Army also lost about 500,000 people. This is the first time that so many people have been lost on the road to the rise of the North.
"Please ask General Gao Shun to recover these Jin soldiers as soon as possible. They will be useful in the subsequent battle against Jin."
The living habits and folk customs of Jin are obviously different from those of Xia. With these Jin soldiers in hand, they can fully play an unexpected role in the future battle against Jin.
At the very least, these people will also be the best candidates for scouts.
"Order the army to clean up the battlefield. Zhenzhou suffered heavy losses in this battle and needs a long period of recuperation."
"In addition, immediately search for the remnants of King Xiaoyao, and investigate and identify the Zhenzhou family and other forces that helped King Xiaoyao. Those who are extremely evil must not be let go."
"The whole army will rest for three days. After three days, the main force of the army will continue to advance and recover the entire territory of Zhenzhou. At the same time, support General Xiang Yu as soon as possible."
Li Jing has been in contact with Xiang Yu all the time. Although the Jin soldiers' offensive against Jin Huaicheng was fierce and caused Xiang Yu a lot of losses, Xiang Yu was still able to hold on.
Especially when the news of the defeat in Qicheng reached the Jin Kingdom, Xiang Yu could also get a break, and Li Jing could rest and provide support later.
After days of fighting, Li Jing's troops were already exhausted and were not suitable to continue the war.
