Star Trace Gate

Wu Pingnan died, the flag fell, and the remnants of less than 2,000 riders began to collapse...

It's a collapse, not a retreat.

In the large formation of the imperial army, the commander-in-chief Zuo Xuan had cold eyes and a calm expression, but his heart was filled with shock.

Even if he was really good at predicting events, he would not have thought in advance that Wu Pingnan, a first-level martial artist with a golden protective ring, would be killed by a single enemy soldier under the protection of nearly 4,000 cavalry.

His face looked calm, but veins were already rising on his forehead.

"Report!! General Wu... General Wu died in battle!" The messenger came running up on horseback in a panic, shouting with a cry.

Zuo Xuan pulled the reins and decisively adjusted the military order: "Blow the drum to send the order. The order has been sent out from the left and right wings of the Chinese army. The four cavalry guards are outflanking from both sides and crashing into the remaining enemy cavalry. With the reinforcement of the Chinese army, two thousand The cavalry and the five hundred Taoist priests of the Tianjian Division will annihilate the enemy in the central battlefield! If they are allowed to escape, the generals who lead the army will engage in military law."

"As ordered!"

"Send the order, the four thousand Shenji battalions that are reinforcing Wu Pingnan from the front are to move to both sides, bypass the central battlefield, and all move closer to the canyon road! At the same time, order all the army's drum vehicles to line up and approach slowly forward. Give the defeated soldiers a sound of guidance to follow the sound and prevent the retreat from spreading. Anyone who dares to speak out about the enemy's bravery will be killed on the spot."

"As ordered!"

"Send the order, the central army and the rear army will all move out, and the two armies will bypass the area where the cavalry is fighting, move closer to both sides, and surround the canyon road." Zuo Xuan frowned: "Since the enemy army is unwilling to come out in full force, To ambush the troops, I will force him to send troops! Call the Wu soldiers in the canyon to break out of the enemy blockade and retreat to the sound of drums!"

Zuo Xuan issued three military orders in succession, with clear thinking and timely adjustments.

After Wu Pingnan unexpectedly died in battle, the victory or defeat on the central battlefield was already decided. After the victory, the enemy's four thousand cavalry must have retreated back, and they could never continue to fight.

They must not be allowed to leave, otherwise the tragic price paid to the south of Wu Ping and the resulting victory will be unacceptable to Zuo Xuan.

The dull sound of drums sounded rhythmically from the back of the battlefield.

The imperial troops in the center and rear all began to move and advance rapidly.

On the left and right sides, four thousand cavalry on both wings, who were originally preparing to attack the canyon road, all rushed towards the cavalry array led by Er Leng, Zhang Gui, Tao Wenyuan, Lin Zifu and others.

Up to this point in the battle, the enemy had suffered heavy casualties, but Qingliang Mansion's four thousand death squad cavalry had also suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

……

On the cliff of the canyon.

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Liu Jishan pointed in the direction of the imperial army: "Their central army and rear army have all begun to move. But it seems that they are not going in the middle, but are going to take a detour...!"

Yang Nan's pupils shrank rapidly, and after thinking for a long time, he issued the order: "Er Leng killed the enemy's former general, and the other commander was anxious. Their intention was to annihilate all our four thousand cavalry. Send a signal to let Er Leng , Zhang Gui and others returned."

He hesitated for a long time when he issued this military order, and he was more emotional than rational.

At this moment, the four thousand cavalry have already rushed out of Dangshan Mountain. They are in a very central position. If Zuo Xuan is allowed to take command, he will definitely not let Zhang Gui, Er Leng and others retreat. There is a high probability that he will order them to divide into two groups to meet the enemy. The infantry detoured.

In this way, the enemy's offensive edge can be slowed down again, effectively delaying time, and leaving the Canyon Road battlefield undisturbed.

But such a military order... means that these four thousand people will never return, which is a bit too cruel.

After all, Yang Nan was just a player from real society, not those ancient generals who easily killed hundreds of thousands of people. He couldn't bear it, so he gave the order.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Wang Pei immediately took out the "Ming Dy" that sent signals from his waist and rushed directly into the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Mingdi lifted into the sky and erupted with a harsh sound of breaking through the sky.

Not far away on the central battlefield, Tao Wenyuan looked back at the direction of Mingdi's rise and shouted: "The general ordered us to retreat."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui turned his head and looked in the direction where the enemy army was dispersing. He saw that the imperial army was divided into two groups, preparing to attack the canyon road. However, his position was already a little far away from the mouth of the canyon.

"Tap tap...!"

On the left and right sides, thousands of horsemen rushed towards the ground with a deafening impact.

In the formation, Zhang Gui, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, only thought for a moment and understood Yang Nan's intention: "As a young general, we are still too immature in our military use. We have good intentions and are not cold enough. In this way, we How can I become the commander-in-chief of my young master’s armed forces?”

The sound of the enemy's horse hooves was heard all around, but Lin Zifu calmly took off the wine gourd from his waist, and while drinking, he cursed: "You old thing, your mother-in-law usually asks you to do some farm work, but you resist and resist, it's not a disease." The disease is rain, but when it comes to fighting, you look like a stubborn donkey!"

"Hahaha, aren't you one of the lazy ones in the village?! You didn't repair the cracked millstone at home, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?" Zhang Gui laughed.

"How can a man be willing to dig the land for farming after fighting all his life?" Tao Wenyuan sighed: "Every time I face the scorching loess sun with a hoe in my hand... I feel old."

Er Leng stood next to several veterans, riding Little Orange and asked: "Let me tell you, uncles, can we stop chatting on the battlefield?"

"If you go to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang several times, I dare to say that among the generals, no one will be your opponent." Zhang Gui said to Er Leng, then he held the horse's belly and watched the attacks on both sides. The approaching cavalry shouted: "Every unit retreats and attacks the canyon road!"

With the shouts raging, the remaining three thousand riders all held the reins and retreated to the canyon road on the rear side.

but!

The speed of the three thousand cavalry was not fast. It did not look like they were busy escaping for their lives, but they were rhythmically pulling at the cavalry coming from the two wings.

Tao Wenyuan and Lin Zifu, while riding horses and drinking, used their peripheral vision to scan the movement direction of the imperial infantry and the Shenji Battalion.

On the cliff, Yang Nan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a group of veteran generals returning with their troops, and shouted: "The enemy commander is attacking the canyon road in two columns, just to force us to show our trump cards. If we don't respond, they will Respond to the trapped army in the valley! Now, our cavalry has returned. Since he wants to see our cards, let's show him! All the people who watch the year will show their magic and block the exit of the canyon. Kill them all! All enemies within the day!"

"I can't wait to ride the horse!"

After hearing this, Liu Jishan became energetic and kept urging: "Old Li, Old Li...please shoot out your black juice!"

Li Yan glanced at him speechlessly: "That's called Li Mo, and it's something with historical and cultural heritage. What shoots out black liquid? Oh, once you describe it, your character will disappear in an instant!"

"boom!!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Yan showed his magic, the world of ink painting!

"Gululu!"

Countless black ink flowed along the cliff, and droplets of ink exploded, painting the surrounding mountains like ink paintings.

In this ink world, Li Yan can paint all the scenery at will. Although he does not have too powerful attack capabilities, he has very amazing auxiliary functions.

"Get close to me!"

Li Yan shouted: "Quick!"
