Chapter 543: Bloody Fight
"kill……"
Accompanied by the shouts of killing soaring to the sky, the Qi martial arts warriors who were charging at the front of the team rushed straight towards the Wei army who was waiting for them on the opposite side.
They hoped to rely on their superiority in numbers and the bravery of individual soldiers to cut a hole in the Wei army's formation in front of them and open a channel for their comrades behind them to attack.
However, when these most elite martial arts warriors from Qi State actually encountered the Wei army, what greeted them was not collapse at the first touch, but an unshakable copper wall and iron wall.
The large oars in the hands of the soldiers of the Wei State were put together, leaving the famous martial arts warriors with no room to display, as if they had crashed into a solid city wall.
At the next moment, this solid city wall showed another side of itself, with countless halberds thrust out from the shield wall.
The sharp halberd blade pierced the thin armor of the martial arts warriors, giving these the most elite soldiers in the entire Qi Kingdom a fatal blow.
After the first battle, the soldier at the front of the phalanx did not want to fight, and the halberd blade was drawn back with blood still flowing.
From thrust to thrust, Wei Jun's movements were smooth and smooth, like an extremely efficient war machine.
As more and more warriors fell on the battlefield, the Wei army's battle line began to advance towards the Qi army little by little, stepping on those corpses.
Seeing the performance of their own soldiers on the battlefield, the Qi army generals in the phalanx were all anxious.
In order to stabilize our own position, more and more Qi soldiers were thrown into this cruel battle.
Just as time passed by and the situation on both sides of the battlefield gradually reached a deadlock, suddenly a large banner appeared in the eyes of the generals of Wei and Qi.
"It's Qi Jun, it's Qi Jun!"
Looking at the purple banner on the horizon that was the same as his own, the generals of the Qi army couldn't help but start shouting in excitement.
Tian Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, who also took in this scene, clenched the hilt of the sharp sword in his hand.
"Sirs, your Majesty has led a large army to meet us."
"Pass my general's order, and the whole army will attack together, defeat the Wei army in front of you, and join forces with your Majesty."
"Here!"
There is no doubt that morale is important to a war. Even the most elite imperial guards of the Eastern Han Dynasty could only retreat when faced with the early morale of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army.
Now the appearance of reinforcements has rekindled the gradually flagging morale of the Qi soldiers, and the order issued by the general Tian Ji has brought the fighting spirit in the hearts of the Qi army to its peak.
Relying on this morale, the Qi soldiers even ignored the huge combat power gap with the Wei army on the opposite side, and forcefully pushed the originally struggling defense line forward.
Compared with the sudden rise in the morale of the Qi army, the high morale of the Wei army, which was originally the dominant side, suddenly suffered a heavy blow.
"General Gongsun, the Qi army's reinforcements are about to arrive, and our army may be in danger of being attacked from both sides."
After listening to the worries of the generals beside him, Gongsun Yan silently stared at the Qi reinforcements that were approaching step by step, but his eyes began to show a solemnity that had not appeared before.
Gongsun Yan had anticipated the situation at this moment before the war, but he still resolutely started this battle for Changguo.
The task given to him and his soldiers by Prime Minister Gongsun Qi was to firmly attract the main force of the Qi army near Changguo, so as to provide the most favorable opportunity for the Wei army's northern legion to move.
For that opportunity, even if the army under his command suffered heavy losses or even was completely wiped out...
Young Gongsun Yan slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he was even mentally prepared for the worst.
A moment later, Gongsun Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong fighting spirit filled his chest.
"We, the officers and men of the Wei Dynasty, are the most powerful army in the world."
"Even if the enemy is several times larger than me, even if we are under heavy siege, as long as we have the sword in our hands, victory will be at our feet."
"The left and right wings continue to attack, and the central army's subordinates, together with me, Gongsun Yan, rush straight towards Qi's reinforcements."
"war!"
Following Gongsun Yan's sword, the Wei army began to move quickly, with flags announcing the direction of their attack.
The bravery and fearlessness of the general rekindled the raging flames of war in the hearts of Wei soldiers, and the long sword tempered by battles became more and more sharp.
"Great Wei for ten thousand years!"
"Great Wei for ten thousand years!"
"Great Wei for ten thousand years!"
…
The chorus of shouts echoed across the battlefield, motivating every Wei soldier to hold the sharp blade tightly and fight the enemy in front of him in a bloody battle.
One side had much higher combat power, and the other side had troops several times that of the enemy. The fiercest battle broke out between Qi and Wei on this battlefield in the southwest of Chang State.
As you come and go, soldiers from both sides fall one after another; during the life-and-death fight, the battle lines are changing every moment.
Leading the soldiers under his command, Gongsun Yan took the lead and rushed directly into the Qi army's square formation, piercing the enemy's chest like a sharp dagger.
Seeing how ferocious the Wei army's offensive was, the guards in the military formation who were responsible for guarding Qihou Tian Yinqi's safety immediately burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Under their constant bloody battles, the Wei army's originally fierce offensive gradually came to a standstill.
It's just that the combat power of this imperial guard exceeded the ordinary Qi soldiers. It not only contained the Wei army's attack, but also attracted the attention of the Wei army's general Gongsun Yan.
Tian Ji's soldiers are responsible for the defense of Qingshi Pass, and they are undoubtedly the elite of Qi State.
Although the Qi army in front of them was smaller in number than Tian Ji's men, its combat power was much greater, and it could even compete with the soldiers without falling behind.
What kind of army is this? Why didn't Qi State put this army into the battlefield in the past?
As the doubts in his heart gradually deepened, an idea suddenly appeared in Gongsun Yan's mind.
"Could it be..."
Thinking of the most likely answer, Gongsun Yan felt a burst of excitement in his heart. The key to victory in this battle may lie in this one move.
"Pass on my general order to charge directly at the center of the army at all costs."
Following Gongsun Yan's order, the beast in his hands unleashed its craziest side.
Regardless of the number of powerful enemies ahead and regardless of the cost of casualties to their own side, the Wei army launched fierce attacks again and again against the Qi army facing them.
Once, twice, three times...
The Wei army forcibly tore a hole in the Qi army's defense line. Gongsun Yan led his soldiers and finally stood only a few dozen steps away from the Qi army's center.
Although he didn't recognize the figure opposite him, Gongsun Yan almost didn't hesitate at all and immediately shot out the arrow in his hand.
The first arrow was barely dodged by the opponent and did not achieve any success, but the second arrow that followed directly hit the opponent's vital point.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
When the panicked voice from the other side echoed in his ears, a smile appeared on Gongsun Yan's face.
He knew that his desperate bet was right, and the balance of victory in this war was completely tilted to their side at this moment.
Chapter completed!
