Chapter 2691 White Robe and Silver Armor Pierce the Enemy's Formation, Unrivaled in the Army, He Breaks Through the Enemy's Formation Again
In the Battle of Luofengpo, Ji Chengfu concentrated all of his cavalry forces to launch a counterattack, intending to divide and conquer the enemy. He first killed Hun Jian's troops from the Han army, and then began to sweep away the rest of the Han army one by one.
In this battle, Ji Chengfu led 30,000 cavalry against 20,000 infantry, and the final result was predictable.
After more than an hour of bloody fighting, Hun Jian's army was almost completely wiped out. More than 6,000 men died on the spot, and the remaining 10,000 or so became prisoners of Ji Chengfu.
In addition, in this battle, Han generals Huyan Shou and Huyan Wei died on the battlefield, killed by Qian general Jiang Chen. The main general Hun Jian was also seriously injured and fell into a coma due to fighting hard. In the end, Qian general Jiang Shengxu picked him up from the battlefield, almost directly, and he fell into the hands of Qian's army.
At the edge of the battlefield, a large banner bearing the character "Ji" fluttered in the wind. Ji Chengfu stood on his horse under the banner, gazing at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood before him, but there was little smile on his face.
After all, although this battle can be considered a victory, it is far from enough to recover from the previous crushing defeat. Moreover, this victory alone is still insufficient to reverse the strategic disadvantage that Daqian is already in.
Moreover, Ji Chengfu raised his head and looked at the setting sun gradually sinking in the west, his brows furrowing slightly. For some reason, he felt uneasy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"General," the lieutenant rode forward, "the surrendered soldiers have been counted, numbering approximately twelve thousand. What should we do with them?"
Ji Chengfu pondered for a moment: "Keep him here for now, we'll talk about it after the battle. What about Hun Jian? Is he still alive?"
"He's alive, but badly injured and still in a coma."
"Keep it; it might come in handy," Ji Cheng's father said without hesitation.
Although Hun Jian was not an extremely famous general in the Han Dynasty, he was still of some value as Xue Rengui appointed him as one of the main generals of the four armies.
A living person is far more valuable than a dead person.
On the battlefield, if you can capture an enemy general, in most cases you won't simply kill him if you can use him to your advantage.
Just as the deputy general was about to go and give orders, the two suddenly heard a strange sound coming from afar.
The sound was very soft and distant, like the sound of wind or muffled thunder. Ji Chengfu subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
On the western horizon, a black line was slowly emerging.
At first it was just a thin wisp, but in the blink of an eye it grew thicker and wider, eventually turning into a black tide that swept in from the horizon.
The sound of horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, shaking the ground beneath their feet. Countless black flags fluttered in the wind, each embroidered with a large "Xue" character.
"Xue Rengui, damn it, we've fallen for their trap!"
"Xue Rengui, you're ruthless!" Ji Chengfu's pupils shrank suddenly.
The moment Xue Rengui appeared, Ji Chengfu finally understood the source of his unease. In that instant, he almost guessed Xue Rengui's plan. After all, Ji Chengfu was a god-level commander. When Xue Rengui appeared, his plan was already fully exposed. If Ji Chengfu still couldn't figure it out at this point, he would be letting down his base commander stat of 101.
Using 20,000 people as bait, even if Ji Chengfu gritted his teeth, he never imagined that Xue Rengui would resort to such ruthless methods.
In fact, it has been quite common throughout history to sacrifice some people as pawns in order to achieve the final victory.
However, under normal circumstances, it is rare for a general to take the initiative to do such a thing. After all, if such a thing happens once, which of his generals will not be wary of him in the future?
Even if Xue Rengui held a high position in the Han army afterward, it would be difficult for him to gain the genuine support of his subordinates.
However, for Ji Chengfu, now was not the time to think so much. The imminent arrival of Xue Rengui was the most daunting threat to him.
"Quickly, everyone mount up and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Jiang Chen, Yu Da, Jiang Shengxu, hurry! Organize the troops immediately, or it will be too late!" Ji Chengfu shouted anxiously at the first opportunity.
However, it was too late at this point. The cavalry charged with incredible speed. These Daqian soldiers, who had just finished a major battle, dismounted to rest, and cleaned up the battlefield, had only just hurriedly mounted their warhorses and had no time to form an orderly formation. Yet, under Xue Rengui's leadership, an endless, dark mass of Han cavalry charged straight at them.
"Ding! Xue Rengui's White Tiger skill effect has been activated. When this skill is activated, his own martial power +5, command +1, Silver Dragon Halberd, Heaven-Shaking Bow, White Tiger Whip +1, Saifeng Steed +1, base martial power 106, current martial power rises to 113, base command 101, Zhang Liang's strategist +2, current command rises to 104."
"Ding! Xue Rengui's White Tiger skill effect two is activated. White Tiger is the main force in battle. When fighting against alien races, the commander's leadership increases by 2; when fighting against fellow races, the commander's leadership increases by 1."
Xue Rengui's current command level is +1, bringing his total command level to 105.
"Ding! The combined skill of Wang Xinxi, Wang Xinhe, Jiang Xingben, Jiang Xingba, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu, Li Qingxian, and Li Qinghong has been activated. When they are on the same battlefield as Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui's attack power increases by 2. When Xue Rengui is the commander of an army, his leadership value is increased by an additional 1 point."
Xue Rengui's current command level has increased by 1, bringing his total command level to 106.
"Kill!" With a roar from Xue Rengui, the commander-in-chief charged into the ranks of the Qian army cavalry who had just mounted their horses.
The halberd swept across, and three Qian army cavalrymen, who hadn't even had time to raise their weapons, were cut down from their horses before they could even scream.
Blood splattered on Xue Rengui's white robe, instantly spreading a dark red stain, but he seemed oblivious, turning his halberd to send two more charging men flying.
Behind them, countless Han cavalry, with black riders as their arrowheads, surged like a black tidal wave, crashing into the scattered formation of the Qian army.
Screams, the sound of bones shattering, and the clanging of weapons erupted simultaneously. The Qian army cavalry, who had just mounted their horses and had not yet formed ranks, were almost powerless against the Han army's charge.
Some were pierced through the chest by spears, some were knocked away by warhorses, and some were stabbed by several spears at the same time as they raised their knives.
Blood splattered everywhere, and severed limbs flew about. The Qian army's lines, which had just been immersed in the joy of victory, were instantly transformed into a slaughterhouse.
