Chapter 525 Mo Dao Army Appears
The Goguryeo people kept falling down beside Guan Yu. Within the power range of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, the Goguryeo people had no power to fight back. However, Guan Yu was unable to make an inch. The Goguryeo soldiers who surrounded him compressed Guan Yu's movement space to a very small size. While Guan Yu was killing Goguryeo soldiers fiercely, he couldn't help but admire these Goguryeo soldiers who showed a very bravery.
Guan Yu looked back at his military formation in his busy schedule and suddenly found that tens of thousands of troops under his command had been surrounded by groups. The coalition army that came up from the other three directions had already surrounded the military formation of the Northern Expedition Army, and tens of thousands of coalition forces were attacking the Northern Expedition Army.
Guan Yu was shocked. Although he didn't want to see this scene, the worst situation still came!
Guan Yu immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards his own army. He rushed to the stalemate of the two fronts. Guan Yu waved his sword and slashed hard. More than a dozen Goguryeo spearmen immediately screamed and fell to the ground. Seeing that his general was back, the soldiers of the North Army cheered in unison and then made way for a passage. Guan Yu rode his horse into the formation. The front immediately closed, and the soldiers on both sides began a war of sawing and attrition again.
"General!" A lieutenant came up.
Guan Yu glanced around and asked, "How is the situation?"
"The enemy's nearly 200,000 troops have all been suppressed! The attack is very fierce! Our army has suffered a lot!" The captain said with a worried look on his face.
Guan Yu rode his horse to a higher place in the formation. He looked around and saw that the large circular formation formed by tens of thousands of soldiers under his command was being pushed by the enemy soldiers. The flags and clouds rolled and the sound of killing was shaking the sky. At the outer side, there were tens of thousands of coalition light cavalry running back and forth, raising the smoke and dust in the sky.
Guan Yu's eyes were above his military formation, and the soldiers were relying on the tower shield front to fight against the coalition forces' offensive one wave higher and one wave higher, and the situation was extremely unoptimistic.
Guan Yu frowned, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.
Guan Yu stroked the long beard under his jaw that had been contaminated by blood stains, and a definite expression appeared in Danfeng's eyes.
"General!" the captain called softly.
"Send the order, today is our last battle!" Guan Yu said lightly.
The captain's heart was shocked, and he responded with a tragic expression and retreated.
"Stand up our army's battle flag!!" Guan Yu ordered a personal soldier beside him. Then the already broken battle flag of the North Battle Army fluttered high on the land buns in the middle of the army formation.
The soldiers of the Northern Army sacrificed their lives to fight and died one after another, and the front was slowly being compressed backwards. However, the coalition forces were not at all easy. The price for every step they took was the lives of countless soldiers.
Although these soldiers of the Seventh Army of the Northern Army were new troops that had just formed a new army, the fighting will they show is worthy of their title, and they will not retreat without fear of death. The coalition led by the Goguryeo Army also showed a rare fighting passion. Perhaps it was Li Muqing's calmness that inspired them, or perhaps it was the bravery of the Northern Army of the Soldiers who inspired them to hide their ferocity in their hearts. The soldiers of the coalition army howled, like killing a wild beast with red eyes.
The defense line of the Zhengbei Army was constantly compressed under the fierce attack of the coalition forces, and the soldiers fought one after another and died. However, they still shouted, stepping on the bodies of their comrades to fight with the coalition forces. The battle flag of the Zhengbei Army floating under the smoke of war revealed a strong and tragic smell.
Li Muqing frowned and stared at the bloody battlefield. Although she saw that the victory was right in front of her, she was not happy at all. The so-called "a miserable victory is like a defeat". After this battle, the coalition forces led by her Goguryeo Army would probably be greatly injured. Li Muqing couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have formulated such a plan to use withdrawal to lure the enemy. She had another more important thing to do!
Time passed without realizing it, and the fierce battle continued.
About half an hour later, the battle formation of the Northern Army had shrunk by about half than before. The tower shield line had been completely broken into many separate parts. Nearly half of the soldiers had fallen on the battlefield, and the other soldiers were all covered in blood and tired faces. The coalition's offensive was still rising, and the howlings like beasts resounded throughout the sky.
"Send the order to stop the infantry, and the light cavalry prepare to carry out an assault!" Li Muqing suddenly ordered.
However, as soon as Li Muqing finished speaking, he saw a cloud of smoke coming quickly towards this side in the northwest direction. Li Muqing frowned slightly and called on the commander who was about to convey the order.
Li Muqing looked up and Gao Yan on the side guessed: "It should be General Fu Meng who defeated the left wing of the Han people. Now he is leading his troops here!"
Li Muqing nodded.
A moment later, a familiar battle flag appeared in Li Muqing's vision. Li Muqing's pupils suddenly shrank, "No! It's the Northern Expedition Army!" He immediately turned his head and said to the commander: "Send the order, suspend the attack, and surround Guan Yu! The light cavalry is ready to fight against the enemy in the northwest!" The commander Yingnuo said, and immediately went down to send the order. Then the Goguryeo golden bell rang, and several commander flags were dancing.
The generals of the coalition forces who received the order immediately ordered the troops to suspend the attack and encircle Guan Yu and his soldiers, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel confused. However, this doubt soon disappeared. The generals of the coalition forces were surprised to find that more than 10,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Expedition Army were speeding from the northwest.
Nearly 40,000 coalition light cavalry gathered in the northwest of the military formation, and they planned to use the light cavalry to fight against the sudden emergence of the North Envoy cavalry.
However, beyond everyone's expectations, the light cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army paused when they rushed to the front of the Goguryeo Light Cavalry Group. Then the more than 10,000 light cavalry separated to both sides, and the smoke and dust dissipated. Nearly 20,000 infantrymen of the Northern Expedition Army appeared in front of everyone, arranged in a neat square formation, wearing golden heavy armor, holding a terrifying long sword higher than others, marched at the forefront. The armor and long sword reflected the sunlight, which was particularly dazzling, and slowly advanced step by step, and a kind of domineering aura was emitting silently.
Li Muqing was shocked and asked anxiously: "Is this the first legion of the Northern Expedition Army?"
"Why didn't Hu Meng block them?" Gao Yan cursed angrily.
Li Muqing snorted coldly, "I'm afraid my husband is already in danger now!"
Gao Yan said in surprise: "This is so possible! Hu Meng has nearly 60,000 people in his hands!"
Li Muqing shook his head, held the hilt tightly and said coldly: "I don't believe that the First Legion is really invincible as the legendary one!"
He suddenly turned his head and said to Gao Yan: "Tell Li Dong, lead the light cavalry group to rush forward immediately!"
At about this, more than ten miles north of this place, nearly 30,000 defeated generals were fleeing towards Changli County, terrified and panicked.
"Your Highness, don't panic! The Northern Army should not have caught up with you!" Mr. Fuyu's Master Yadus came to Fu Meng's side and said.
Yadusi looked back in panic, but did not see the pursuers of the Zhengbei Army. He calmed down a little, then he seemed to remember something terrible, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"I have been through a long battle formation! But I have never seen such a demon-like army!" Hu Meng murmured with a pale face.
Yadusi frowned, remembering the scene of the army wearing golden armor causing a huge wave of blood not long ago, and involuntarily shivered.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do next?" Yadusi asked.
Yadusi swallowed and replied, "I think Fujian is right! Why should we involve the dispute between the Goguryeo and the Han people!"
Yadusi frowned, "Does Your Highness plan to return to China like this? I don't agree!"
"What do you think?" Hu asked dissatisfiedly.
"I think we should turn around immediately and cooperate with Li Muqing to completely annihilate the Northern Expedition Army in front of us! Now the Han people must not expect that we will turn around, and we can definitely catch the Han people off guard! After the Han people defeated the Goguryeo, they will definitely not let our Fuyu go, and we will never be out of trouble!"
Fu Meng frowned and looked hesitant. Fu Meng felt that what Yadusi said made sense, but when he thought of the army wearing golden armor, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
"No! You can't go back!" Hu Meng shouted subconsciously.
Yadusi was shocked and said anxiously: "Your Highness, you must not fear the enemy and retreat at this moment!" As soon as he said that, Yadusi knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Sure enough, the husband jumped on the horse's back like a rabbit trampled on his tail, shouting with a stern voice: "Yatus, although you are a national teacher, you cannot be rude to me! I have decided to do this, don't say more!"
"Your Highness!..." Yadushi tried to persuade him again.
"Shut up!" The husband interrupted him rudely and rode his horse forward.
