Battle of Pacifying Youzhou (17)

Zhang Liao, who was leading his troops out of the right flank of the battlefield, saw a small troop of cavalry approaching from afar, his expression hardened, and he quickly ran towards them.

On the plain, a small cavalry unit of over thirty men swiftly approached, led by Zang Ba and Chen Gong.

"Strategist, what happened?"

On the battlefield, with the military situation urgent, Zhang Liao went straight to the point when he arrived before this group of men.

Chen Gong said with a hint of anxiety.

"Wen Yuan, Feng Xian's cavalry has been blocked at the rear by the Great Feng Iron Cavalry and cannot attack the Great Feng Rear Army as originally planned. Now, you lead the Iron Cavalry I brought to attack the Great Feng Rear Army directly."

"Hurry, our central army has already left the city to meet the enemy."

Zhang Liao also realized the seriousness of the situation and looked at Zang Ba.

"Zang Ba, I will instruct you to lead the right wing army; the safety of the military advisor is entrusted to you."

Zang Ba nodded. "Wen Yuan, don't worry."

Zhang Liao roared at Nie Mingfei, who was rushing over.

"General Nie, the army of Hanshan Prefecture is now under the command of Zang Ba. I need to lead the cavalry to the rear army immediately."

He pointed at Chen Gong Gongdao.

"This is my strategist and advisor to the King of Prince of Qin, a confidant of Your Highness, and also the chief clerk of Hanshan Prefecture after the war. You must protect his safety; there is no room for error."

After saying this, Zhang Liao took a horse from the Wolf Cavalry squad and hurriedly Wolf Cavalry towards them.

After Zhang Liao left, Chen Gong looked at the battlefield, sighed, and rearranged the attack route on the right flank, slowly advancing towards the rear army from the right flank.

On the city wall of Zhenyou City, Chu Xuanao is now surrounded by only his Ghost Servant, Li Xunhuan, Wang Hanying, and a few others. The central army has launched a full-scale attack, and most of the generals have left the city to meet the enemy.

Apart from Chu Xuanao, the only high-ranking officials left in Zhenyou City were Commander Wang Hanying and two thousand soldiers. Even the Prefect Lu Shuangxing had gone out of the city to fight the enemy, and a group of Martial World practitioners had also left the city under the leadership of the Martial World arts force Koudao Mountain.

Gazing at the blood-stained and carnage-stricken battlefield, Wang Hanying's eyes grew brighter. The battle was over, and she spoke with a hint of excitement.

"Your Highness, the rear cavalry has arrived, the central army is pressing forward, and the right flank has also broken through the defenses. From the moment Qin Xiaosheng chose to use 100,000 Dongyue Army to hold back the Zhenyou Cavalry, his path had come to an end."

Chu Xuanao's lips curled into a smile. Although he knew the outcome, he still felt joy when the result was presented to him.

Just like going to school in a past life, even though you know you'll get your allowance next month, the feeling is still different when the money is actually transferred and in your hands.

In this battle, no matter what choice was made Great Feng was destined to lose.

Send out the Immeasurable Iron Cavalry to confront the Zhenyou Cavalry. Those Wolf Cavalry will gallop freely across the plains of the Great Feng Rear Army, unstoppable.

Even if the rear guard of the Great Feng Army were to be dispatched to stop the Wolf Cavalry, what would you do on the front lines if the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops of the Dagan Central Army were all mobilized?

As it stands now, you're using the lives of countless soldiers of the Dongyue Army to intercept the Zhenyou Cavalry, and letting the Immeasurable Iron Cavalry fight the Wolf Cavalry. But with your central army of 100,000 soldiers pinned down on the main battlefield, the strength of your forces on the front lines is still far weaker than that of the Dagan.

Zhang Liao's army on the right flank also broke through the Qingcang Army's defenses, and there were two waves of Wolf Cavalry. You couldn't stop anything, and in the end you were attacked from three sides. The Dongyue Army on the left flank also suffered heavy losses and was unable to support the main battlefield.

It's safe to say it's gone.

Outside the central command tent of the Great Feng army, Qin Xiaosheng stood on a high platform, listening to the continuous battle reports coming from all directions. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.

"Report! Another 20,000 cavalry are charging from the rear, flanking our army from the rear."

"Report! The right wing of the Qingcang Army has suffered heavy losses. Even the 10,000 reinforcements sent to reinforce them could not hold the line. Gan Army has already broken through the defenses."

"Report! Dagan army is pressing in; the vanguard is already at a loss."

"Reporting to the Marshal, the Immeasurable Iron Cavalry, which is holding back the cavalry at the rear, is about to collapse."

The final battle report was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. After the soldier finished speaking, Qin Xiaosheng's eyes widened, instantly turning blood red, and he roared in confusion.

"The Immeasurable Iron Cavalry can't hold on any longer?"

The Prince of Qin only had 30,000 cavalry, and 50,000 Wuliang Immeasurable Iron Cavalry couldn't hold out for half an hour?

What exactly is Huangfu Sheng doing?

Looking at the crazed Qin Xiaosheng, the soldier timidly spoke.

"Marshal, Commander Huangfu has been captured."

"Thump thump".

Qin Xiaosheng's vision went black, and his body seemed to have all its strength drained away. He stumbled back a few steps.

The woman in blue robes who was standing guard beside Qin Xiaosheng stepped forward and placed her hand on Qin Xiaosheng's back, channeling a stream of true energy into Qin Xiaosheng.

Another white-robed elder also looked incredulous, and an invisible pressure emanated from his body as he asked.

"Huangfu Sheng has been captured? Are you sure? Did you see that clearly?"

The soldier's face turned deathly pale, a hint of pain flashing across his face, and he spoke haltingly.

"My lord, that man from the Prince of Qin's Manor has Commander Huangfu on his horse, and he's fighting and running around everywhere, that's for sure."

A ruthless glint appeared on the white-robed elder's face. His aura suddenly erupted, and an invisible wave of energy knocked over the surrounding soldiers. He turned to leave.

A sky-blue ripple appeared beside the woman, separating her from Qin Xiaosheng.

Seeing the old man about to leave, Qin Xiaosheng, regaining his senses, immediately spoke up to stop him.

"Second Elder, please wait."

Upon hearing Qin Xiaosheng's voice, the old man stopped in his tracks.

The beautiful woman moved swiftly, holding Qin Xiaosheng in one arm and shielding the old man.

Looking at the two people blocking his way, the old man remained expressionless, his tone icy.

"This matter concerning Shui Ninghua has nothing to do with your Five Elements Heavenly Sect, step aside."

Shui Ninghua did not speak, but Qin Xiaosheng, who was in her arms, stopped and quickly spoke.

"Second Elder, Huangfu Sheng has already been captured, and that cannot be changed. The war is still the most important thing now; we must consider the overall situation!"

Moreover, Huangfu Sheng, with his cultivation at the Early Ascension Realm, would still be captured. The man from the Prince of Qin's Manor is definitely not weak, and he has tens of thousands of cavalry there. What use would you be if you went?"

The Second Elder looked at Qin Xiaosheng and shouted sternly.

"Qin Xiaosheng, remember, the dignity of the Great Feng Imperial Clan cannot be defiled. Even if we cannot rescue Huangfu Sheng, he cannot live, nor can he be captured by the people."

"A captured piece of trash, a cowardly wretch who has brought shame upon my Imperial Clan, deserves to die."

At this point, the Second Elder would rather Huangfu Sheng die on the battlefield than be captured alive. If Huangfu Sheng had been captured and committed suicide, the Elder would have respected him more. But he should not have been captured and should not have been alive.

In the Second Elder's eyes, this was fear of death and cowardice. Although this was human nature, others could act this way, but Huangfu Sheng could not.

Huangfu Sheng was born into the Great Feng Imperial Clan, and from birth he enjoyed the highest honor and everything that came with it. The Imperial Clan prepared everything for him, Huangfu Sheng, and he enjoyed all the glory and wealth. So he had to bear the responsibility.

Where does this leave the dignity of the Great Feng Imperial Clan?

Seeing the Second Elder's expression and actions, and knowing he was determined to go, Qin Xiaosheng quickly said.

"Does the Second Elder think Huangfu Sheng is more important, or the entire Land of Cangshui?"

Upon hearing Qin Xiaosheng's words, the Second Elder's expression hardened as he asked.

"Qin Xiaosheng, what do you mean?"
