With He Rushui as the leader, the message was delivered into Bai Qing's hands before the latter's Fengyang had even arrived. In the message, Tang Yin very honestly explained the movement of his Chuan Army, saying that two hundred thousand Chuan Army were moving towards the Fengyang, and wanted Bai Qing to be prepared to face the enemy.
Seeing Tang Yin's letter, Bai Qing was frightened to the point that she broke out in a cold sweat. Two hundred thousand Chuan Army was coming towards him, how could she withstand it? She quickly replied to Tang Yin, asking for his help.
Very quickly, Tang Yin sent another message to tell Bai Qing that as long as she could delay the Chuan Army for three days, then the reinforcement would appear, and they would work together to attack the Chuan Army from the inside.
Bai Qing could only smile bitterly at Tang Yin's reply. Forget about enduring for three days, she didn't even have confidence in fighting for six hours. Amongst the various empires, Ann Army was publicly recognized as the weakest and it was without a doubt the strongest battle force.
However, no matter how thick-skinned she was, it would be embarrassing to ask Tang Yin for help again and again. After all, Ann Army was a force of two hundred thousand troops, and they also had the support of the city's defense. In the end, Bai Qing steeled her heart, it would just be three days.
At the same time, she summoned the generals and took out Tang Yin's message for everyone to read.
When the General of Ann Country saw this, each and every one of their faces turned pale from fright. It would be a fantasy if they had to endure two hundred thousand Chuan Army for three days on their own! The General of Ann Country were in a flurry of discussion, all sorts of things were being discussed. In the end, everyone came to a consensus that if they could fight, they would fight, and if they could not fight, they would be ready to abandon the city and escape.
With regards to the lack of confidence and fighting spirit of the generals under her, Bai Qing had nothing to say either. Even as a general, she did not have any confidence either, and she even believed that it was impossible for her side to hold on for three days.
To make a long story short, after a few days, two hundred thousand Chuan Army arrived in a formidable array. However, with the arrival of the Chuan Army, Yun Che's plans to escape in Abandoned City completely vanished without a trace.
Two hundred thousand Chuan Army were built around the city's encampment, and the entire city was surrounded by them using the method of the company camp. Obviously, Chuan Army didn't plan to give any opportunity for the city's Ann Army to escape, since from the looks of it, it was obvious that all of the two hundred thousand Ann Army were going to annihilate.
Under normal circumstances, when both sides' forces were on par with each other, it would be foolish for one side to choose to surround and encase the city. With the troops being so dispersed, it would be very easy for them to give their opponents a chance to break through each and every one of them.
It was not because he was overconfident that He Rushui had chosen to place the fort around the city, but because he had never thought highly of the Ann Army. Of course, there was nothing about the Ann Army that anyone could think highly of.
Usually, they were most skilled at running away. Now that Fengyang was everywhere and they had nowhere to run to, at this time, Ann Army only had two choices, either to fight to the death, or to surrender the entire army.
Bai Qing had the cowardly side of the Ann Army tradition, but she was also an established noble at the same time. Her bones were flowing with the haughtiness and dignity of a noble, and if she had to surrender, she would rather die.
However, Bai Qing was also very clear that the army had spread the feeling of surrender. If they wanted to hold on for three days and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, they had to make the soldiers completely give up. How could this be done?
Because of this, Bai Qing racked her brains and painstakingly thought for a long time. Finally, she thought of a plan. That night, she called her subordinate, Gao Wu, and had him lead the three thousand death squads, using the banner of surrender, and get close to the Chuan Camp. When the Chuan Army descended, she suddenly launched an attack, disrupting the defenses of the entire Chuan Army.
Gao Wu received the order and went back to prepare. When it was midnight, he followed Bai Qing's instructions and led the three thousand Death Soldier to the other side of the Chuan Camp. Each of them had a white band around their arms and carried a white flag.
Regarding these Ann Army s who had come out of the city late into the night to surrender, the aspect of Chuan Army was not the least bit surprised, because this was exactly the style that Ann Army followed when they encountered a strong enemy. After hearing that there were still a lot of Ann Army to surrender to, He Rushui paid great attention to them and personally came out to receive.
As a result, the moment this batch of Ann Army Death Soldier s were placed into the Chuan Camp, they took out all the weapons they had hidden away and caught the surrounding unguarded Chuan Army by surprise. In that moment, at least a few hundred people died under the sneak attack of the Ann Army.
He Rushui who was nearby was furious and immediately ordered his men to kill this group of Ann Army, leaving not a single one behind. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the three thousand s who were led by Gao Wu.
Following that, both sides engaged in a life-and-death battle. The Ann Army Death Soldier were also very brave and fierce, every one of them had the courage to fight to the death, and were not at a disadvantage when fighting against the Chuan Army.
But no matter what, they only had three thousand people, how could they be a match for several tens of thousands of Chuan Army? As the battle continued, the three thousand s were slashed to the ground one after another.
The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly two hours, but even until the moment of death, Gao Wu and the Ann Army Death Soldier did not manage to bring Bai Qing and their main force here. In the end, Gao Wu and the three thousand people of Ann Army were unable to match up to the majority, and were all annihilated by the Chuan Army of tens of thousands of people. Not a single one of them survived.
The still angry He Rushui was still unwilling to let anyone go, causing the heads of the Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army s to be chopped off and hung on their side's stronghold walls, allowing the opposing Ann Army s to see clearly. This was the result of cheating their own side.
When the sky became bright, the defending troops of the Fengyang City saw a long row of bloodied human heads hanging on the walls of the Chuan Camp stronghold. They didn't understand what was going on and immediately ran back into the city to inform Bai Qing.
The deaths of Gao Wu and the three thousand man death squads were all part of Bai Qing's plan. Although it was within expectations, she still felt sad.
After she put on an act of 'investigation', she finally confirmed that the people who were cruelly murdered by Chuan Army were the soldiers that had secretly left the city to surrender last night. From this, it could be seen that surrendering to Chuan Army was a dead end, that Chuan Army did not even want to give them a chance of survival.
Very quickly, the news spread through the Ann Army, and it could be said that all of the Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army s were dead. There was nowhere to run, there was nowhere to go, there was nowhere to go, there wasn't enough Chuan Army, what could they do?
Bai Qing used the price of a general and 3000 Death Soldier s as a price to successfully dispel the thoughts of surrender in the Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, after that, they could only fight to the death, there was no other way.
Just like what Zi Ying and Zi Ying had said, as a woman, for Bai Qing to be able to obtain the position of the commander of a troop, there must be something special about her, it was just that she was not forced to such an extent.
Now that Bai Qing no longer had a way out, she showed the decisiveness and decisiveness of an outstanding commander, sacrificing a small portion to save the majority. It seemed cruel but effective.2
Chuan Army rested for one day, and the next day, he would officially launch a strong attack on Fengyang. The attacks of Chuan Army were launched from all directions, and there were no sides that focused their attacks. From the looks of it, it was clear that they were going to take over Fengyang in an all-out attack.
Ann Army who was forced onto the road of death resisted with all his might. Facing the strongest Chuan Army, the Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army s were afraid, they did not have enough confidence, but no one tried to retreat, and no one wanted to escape. All of them knew in their hearts that if they risked their lives to fight, at most, they would just die, but if the enemy tried to break into the city, they would eventually die, and rather than just sit and wait for death, they might as well kill a few more enemies to cover their retreat.
Under the stimulation of this mentality, Ann Army showed abnormal tenacity, it fought valiantly, and did not retreat even half a step even if it died.
Just as Liang Qi and Zi Ying had thought, once Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army had the will to fight to the death, even if it was Chuan Army himself, it would be very difficult for them to win.
The equipment on Ann Army were simply too excellent. The soldiers stood on the city walls, and the arrows shooting out from below could not hurt them at all, unless they hit a weak spot on their body. On the other hand, their retaliation could cause a huge amount of damage to the Chuan Army below the city.
He had originally thought that it would be an easy battle that was absolutely certain, but after forcefully attacking for the entire morning, he was unable to attack even half a step above the city walls.
Waiting until noon, the attacking Chuan Army started to gradually retreat. Next, it was the turn of the heavy Trebuchet to go on the battlefield and violently strike against the defenses of the Fengyang.
The Trebuchet's attack continued for an entire hour before the retreating Chuan Army once again went on the offensive. The two sides continued to fight for more than two hours but the Chuan Army was still unable to break through the defenses of the Fengyang. Once again, they retreated from the battlefield and the Trebuchet s once again launched their long-range attacks.
Chuan Army's offense was to retreat, retreat to fight, and use this as a cycle.
In the beginning, he had not had enough experience with Ann Army, so he was severely injured and lost a lot of lives due to being hit by the Chuan Army's heavy Trebuchet. Later on, Ann Army grasped the laws of Chuan Army, and as long as he saw the attacking Chuan Army retreating, the Ann Army on top of the city wall would immediately retreat and hide under the wall, leaving behind a small portion of the troops to observe the enemy's movements on the city wall.
Other than competing in terms of battle prowess, it was also a contest of wills and courage.
The Ann Army that was forced into a dead end stayed with one mind. The two hundred thousand soldiers fought with their backs against the water, relying on their firm defense to withstand the strong assault from the Chuan Army for an entire day.
When the sky turned dark, the Chuan Army which had been useless all day was finally forced to retreat.
Returning to the camp, even He Rushui felt that it was laughable. The two sides' forces were of equal strength, but their entire day's worth of strong attacks were actually blocked by the Ann Army, which could be said to be unprecedented.
This battle was considered a great humiliation to Chuan Army, but to Ann Army, it was an inspiring and exciting battle.
