Chapter 771  : Victory (Finale) (2)

He needed a victory to prove himself to them. Even if it was a miserable victory.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan looked at a city on the map with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Three days later.

In the main tent of the Yan army, the Chu envoy finally arrived again.

After learning about Xu Yan’s crazy plan, Li Xiao almost couldn’t help but laugh.

After explaining his plan to the messenger, he sent the messenger away secretly.

“Haha, that old man finally couldn’t sit still anymore.” Li Xiao laughed heartily.

At this moment, he was really in a good mood.

After enduring for so many days, not only was the Jin army under great pressure, the pressure on the Yan army was also great.

Putting everything else aside, with so many soldiers at the border, rations were a huge problem.

The current situation of the Great Yan was not much better than that of Jin.

Now, in the Great Yan’s army, only the Nangong Army could eat their fill every day.

The rest of the imperial court soldiers were only given two meals a day, and they were barely able to eat until they were seventy to eighty percent full.

The soldiers of the imperial court had no complaints about this.

This was because the provisions of the Nangong Army had been prepared in advance by Anyang County.

In addition, after several major battles, the Nangong Army had always been the main force in battle, and they fought the fiercest.

Wouldn’t it be better to let the tiger eat its fill so that it could bite the enemy?

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and handed the cup to Li Xiao.

“Not only are we waiting anxiously, Chu is probably getting impatient as well.”

The situation in Chu was not good either. They were also facing the problem of insufficient rations.

However, in order to wait for the best opportunity to counterattack, Yuchi Tianqiong could only wait.

Now, Xu Yan was finally going to make a big move.

There was no need for him to send out his entire army. As long as he sent out 60,000 troops, Chu would switch sides and swallow up his main force.

After taking down these troops, Jin would be like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out. Would they still be a threat?

“Yes. I have to think about how to lure Xu Yan into sending as many troops as possible.”

“Yes.”

Soon, the higher-ups of the Yan Army gathered in the tent.

Following that, the new battle arrangements were quickly arranged.

The entire army quickly entered a state of combat readiness. A great battle could arrive at any time.

The next morning.

The sky had just brightened when the horn was blown.

The ten thousand strong army did not use sneak attacks, choosing to attack the city from the front.

They reacted quickly, and the Yan army resisted bravely.

Just as the city was about to fall, a thousand-man troop of the Nangong Army arrived in time.

With the crossbows leading the way, the Nangong Army charged into the Jin army camp from the outside, starting a massacre.

Countless Jin soldiers fell one after another, becoming the souls of the dead under the blade of the Nangong Army.

The Jin army was terrified, and some soldiers even began to flee.

The soldiers leading the Jin army had to fight against the Nangong Army and kill the deserters. They were already unable to stop the defeat.

In just 15 minutes, the Nangong Army had turned the tide of the battle.

On a mountain not far away, Xu Yan clenched his fists when he saw this.

“Xu Qing!” Then, he said in a deep voice.

“I’m here!” Xu Qing hurried forward.

“IWenty thousand…no, thirty thousand! I will sweep this pass!” Xu Yan said sternly.

Xu Qing was shocked.

He turned around and looked at the tragic battlefield, then turned around and accepted the order.

“Yes, sir!”

Xu Yan looked at Xu Qing.

“30,000 soldiers. If we still can’t take this pass, bring your head to me!” His eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

If they were defeated again, they would not be able to return to Jin. This battle could only be won!

Xu Qing’s body trembled.

“I accept your orders!” He quickly agreed.

Then, he turned around and left.

Outside Wolf Fang Pass, the city gates were already open.

After seeing the victory of the Nangong Army, the imperial court army also left the city to join the battle. The Jin army was almost completely wiped out.

However, before the battlefield could be cleaned up, Xu Qing had arrived with an additional 30,000 soldiers.

The Nangong Army immediately followed the original plan and retreated into the city with the imperial court army.

The two sides quickly fell into a tug-of-war.

There were many Jin soldiers. Under a strong attack, even though the Yan army had the geographical advantage, it was difficult to stop the Jin army.

Xu Yan was watching the battle not far from the battlefield. He was extremely angry when he saw that Xu Qing had attacked repeatedly but had only almost taken down the city tower.

When they saw the Yan army’s reinforcements rushing over from outside the city and killing their way into the Jin army’s camp, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

“Send another 20,000 troops! Kill all the Yan soldiers outside the city!” Xu Yan quickly said.

Soon, 20,000 troops entered the battlefield again.

With the addition of these 20,000 men, the Yan reinforcements quickly fell into a disadvantageous position..
