Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 189 Conquering the Minwei Mansion

The city gate was broken easily, basically proclaiming the fate of Jiwei City.

In the face of the Southwest Corps that blatantly entered the city, the big and small aristocratic families in the city collectively remained silent. Even the family that had an affair with the Taixu Sect in the first place did not dare to show their heads at this time.

Let Di Qing kill wantonly in the city.

Fan Xianyong's words became a prophecy.

A new army like the Seventh Brigade, facing a tiger-wolf division like Di Qingbu, is like a sheep meeting a lion.

The iron cavalry roared past on the bluestone slab streets, piercing through the soldiers of the Seventh Brigade guarding the entrance of the street.

"It can't go on like this."

The poor performance of the Seventh Brigade made Zhang Wenqi both disappointed and angry.

At the critical moment, Zhang Wenqi showed his calm and decisive side, and immediately ordered the remnants of the Seventh Brigade to shrink their defenses, abandon the outer city directly, and retreat to the magistrate's yamen.

Then take advantage of the fact that there are many senior monks on your side, and guard according to the government office.

In order to maximize this advantage, Tai Xuzong even set up a small formation in the government office. After it was activated, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

Facing the magic array composed of fireball, frost, thunder and lightning, and poisonous fog, Di Qing's department was really helpless, so he could only clear out the remnants of the government office and surround the government office at the same time.

Those soldiers of the Seventh Brigade who had no time to withdraw to the government office, seeing that there was no hope of escape, surrendered very simply.

They are not stupid.

While giving the order to retreat, Zhang Wenqi did not forget to send an emergency flying sword letter to his younger brother Yu Renjie, asking the Eighth Brigade to quickly rescue Jiwei City.

It was this letter that completely ruined the Eighth Brigade.

If a new army like the Eighth Brigade is guarding the city and has a firm will to resist, with Yu Renjie, a monk in the entraining period, standing in charge, there is still a chance to breathe.

Once retreated, it would be a disaster.

When Yu Renjie received the flying sword letter from his senior brother Zhang Wenqi, he didn't even think about it, and ignored the firm opposition of the brigade commander Liu Kezhang, and resolutely issued the order to withdraw troops.

"Jiwei City is in trouble and has to be saved." Yu Renjie said.

As everyone knows, retreating is a very difficult technical task. It is necessary to deploy the forwards to scout in the front, as well as the troops in the rear, and the defensive forces on the two wings, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity.

Sometimes, retreating is even harder than going straight.

Liu Kezhang drove the ducks to the shelves and arranged everything reluctantly. The troops had just left Bishui County, and the Yue Yun tribe, which had been thriving slowly, suddenly changed from sheep to lions and bit them fiercely.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the weaknesses of the Eighth Brigade were fully exposed.

As soon as the rear army in charge of the rear was attacked, they had no intention of resisting at all, and only wanted to flee forward, smashing the square of the Chinese army to pieces.

The two wings that were attacked at the same time performed equally poorly.

The formation that Liu Kezhang had worked so hard to set up was like a garish display that was useless, but was destroyed in an instant and turned into a mess.

An officer cannot find a soldier, and a soldier cannot find an officer.

Soldiers, you push me, I squeeze you, the ones who are killed throw away their armor and flee forward in embarrassment.

After the chaos in the formation, Liu Kezhang was unable to reorganize the troops, so he could only be cruel and ordered the troops to huddle together and advance at full speed.

"Escape as much as you can." Liu Kezhang could only comfort himself.

Although Yue Yun was young, he had rich combat experience, and when his side had an absolute advantage, he did not lose his clarity and became fanatical.

He led his troops, like a very patient hunter, chasing all the way, eating up the eighth brigade bit by bit, with almost no battle damage himself.

Several traps and mazes that Liu Kezhang set up along the way were easily seen through by Yue Yun one by one.

After a few fights, Liu Kezhang gave up completely, knowing that his tricks would have nothing to hide in the eyes of the enemy generals, so he stopped making ugly appearances.

Little did they know that something more deadly was yet to come.

The Tang Sifang Department, which was originally only guarding the border, learned that the enemy's Eighth Brigade was about to withdraw to Jiwei Mansion, and immediately started the rapid march mode, circled an arc, and accurately intercepted the Eighth Brigade's way ahead.

"It's over!"

Looking at the enemy army that suddenly appeared in front of him, Liu Kezhang knew that he was powerless, and his face showed despair.There is resistance in the front and chasing troops in the back. How can a new army like the Eighth Brigade resist?
What about Yu Renjie?

This inner disciple of the Taixu Sect, a monk in the qi-entraining period, was already unable to support the iron-blooded army. In the end, he could only lead a group of senior brothers, take advantage of the chaos to fight a bloody path, and escape in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Eighth Brigade surrendered neatly.

…………

Mino City.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Wenqi didn't wait for the Eighth Brigade to come for reinforcements, but Yue Yun's Department did.

After encircling and suppressing the Eighth Brigade, the Tang Sifang Department was responsible for escorting the prisoners back to Qingqiu Mansion, while the Yue Yun Department, which suffered almost no losses, continued to advance and quickly advanced into Jiwei City.

As for Yu Renjie and the others, they knew that Jiwei City could not be defended, so they never entered the city at all, and retreated to Zhaoyao City in embarrassment with the shame of defeat.

"Heaven is dead to me!"

Zhang Wenqi let out a sigh, which became the best portrayal of this battle.

After reuniting with Yue Yun's tribe, the Southwest Corps had already launched a strong attack on the government office. Under the shadow of swords and swords, two masters, Ge Hong and Xu Chu, were sitting in command.

Breaking the formation is only a matter of time.

Zhang Wenqi did not retreat, because there was no way to retreat, so he could only fight to the death, with the ambition of the whole sect, to defend the last bit of dignity of the Taixu sect.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

Zhang Wenqi wanted to die, but the Seventh Brigade didn't want to be buried with him.

At the critical moment, Fan Xianyong turned his back on the water and led his troops to launch a shameless sneak attack while Zhang Wenqi and others were in charge of the formation and had no time to distract.

Fan Xianyong took the lead and pierced Zhang Wenqi's heart fiercely from behind with a knife.

"you!!!!"

Zhang Wenqi died with his eyes closed and vomited blood.

The rest of the Taixu sect were also beheaded one by one by the soldiers of the seventh brigade, and the formation protecting the government office dispersed, revealing their true faces.

"Surrender, I surrender!" Fan Xianyong shouted loudly.

Di Qing, Yue Yun and other generals looked at each other in shock and led their troops into the Yamen. They looked at the Taixu Sect members who fell in a pool of blood one by one, as well as the soldiers of the [-]th Brigade who took the initiative to put down their weapons. They already understood in their hearts.

"Pooh!"

Xu Chu couldn't see such a traitorous villain the most, holding the huoyun knife, he was going to kill Fan Xianyong, and the latter was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Wait, General!"

At the critical moment, Yue Yun stopped Xu Chu.

"kindness?"

Xu Chu stopped, turned around, and looked at Yue Yun with piercing eyes.

Yue Yundao: "General Xu Chu, Fan Xianyong has led his troops to surrender, how to deal with it should be reported to the palace for His Highness to decide, and lynching is not allowed."

As a veteran in the battlefield, Yue Yun knew very well that killing prisoners was a taboo.

If Xu Chu was really allowed to kill Fan Xianyong, which of the generals of the Zhao Yao Army would surrender?This is extremely detrimental to the fiefdom.

"For the time being, spare your dog's life."

Xu Chu was so angry that he listened to Yue Yun's words and stopped.

"Thank you, General, thank you General!"

Fan Xianyong narrowly escaped death, he no longer had the composure he had before, let alone the demeanor of a general, he ran up to Yue Yun like a bereaved dog, and couldn't stop thanking him.

It's not okay to be humble.

Yue Yun saw it, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"This Fan Xianyong is not easy."

As a former general of the Second Division, he first betrayed the empire and became a lackey of the Taixu Sect; seeing that the situation was wrong, he resolutely betrayed the Taixu Sect, he is really a villain.

The will to survive is really strong.

Yue Yun decided to report the matter to His Highness in detail.
