After the car and the rocks, they looked at Chifeng Army. They had been killed to the point where they were utterly defeated without a single battle formation left. The screams of the injured and the screams of the living made Tiger-tooth Mountain become hell on earth.
Right at this time, the Peng Army s that had been defeated and forced to flee rushed out from the sides of the mountain slope, shouting and rushing over. The military strategy was as clear as clouds. When two armies fought, the one in the highest position would obtain victory. How could the Chifeng Army, which had been smashed so badly by the charging cars and stone slabs, withstand the charge from the top to the bottom? Almost everyone was rolling and crawling as they ran down the mountain.
A defeat like a landslide. Soldiers trampled on each other, fell, fell and rolled. The number of casualties was beyond measure.
At this time, Li Wei was dumbstruck, his mouth opened unconsciously, his eyes widened in circles, staring straight at the battlefield in front of him, unable to speak in a daze.
"General? "General?" Peng Haochu called out from the side.
Ah?" "Ahh!" Li Wei came back to his senses. His neck turned stiffly towards Peng Haochu. He was looking at him, but his eyes had lost focus.
Peng Haochu said anxiously: "General, quickly give the order to retreat, if this goes on, my Chifeng Army will be completely destroyed!"
Ah?" "AHH!" "Yes, yes, yes!" "Li Wei only agreed, but did not give the order.
At this time, Peng Haochu did not care anymore, and turned to Herald and shouted: "Hurry and call for reinforcements! "Faster!"
"Yes sir!"
Herald looked at Li Wei, and seeing the latter's stupefied face, he steeled his heart, and passed Peng Haochu's orders down, and ordered the entire army to retreat.
Urgent gongs rang out continuously. Many of the Chifeng Army soldiers in front who wanted to continue fighting with the enemy heard the gongs and gave up on fighting. The rear guard changed ranks and retreated back. Although retreat was considered nice to hear, it was actually a defeat. After being chased and beaten up by Peng Army, they didn't even want the camp at the foot of the Peng Army mountain that they had just taken over.
As the Chifeng Army retreated, it retreated for more than twenty kilometers. However, the Peng Army behind did not have any intention of stopping its pursuit, as if it would not rest until it had completely annihilated the Chifeng Army. Many of the Chifeng Army s that had fallen behind were either pierced to death or were trampled into meat paste by the Peng Army s that chased after them.
Just when Li Wei thought that his Chifeng Army was about to be completely destroyed by the Peng Army, a gigantic set of Feng Army suddenly walked in front of him. The military Flag had the words' Tianyuan 'written on it, and behind the military flag, the word' Ancient 'was written on it. After Peng Haochu saw this, his face immediately revealed a happy expression, and said to Li Wei: "General, it's General Gu Yue who came to meet us!"
"Huh?" Li Wei looked ahead carefully, and after looking, his heart that was at his throat finally dropped, followed by grief. His eyes turned red, and tears rolled down, as he shook his head and said: "I underestimated my enemy, and did not listen to General Peng's words, so I suffered such a loss, and dragged tens of thousands of our soldiers into this."
"Aiya, General, let's not talk about this now. Hurry up and meet up with General Gu Yue!"
Seeing that the Tianyuan Army had reinforcements, the Peng Army behind them stopped their pursuit, and they all changed their direction, returning victorious.
When Li Wei and Peng Haochu met up with Gu Yue, the latter looked at the two of them and nearly laughed out loud. At this time, the two of them looked to be in a very sorry state, their armor was crooked, and their faces were covered with dirt. Without waiting for him to ask about what was going on, Peng Haochu took the initiative to ask, "General Gu, why are you here?"
"Master Qiu was afraid that the two of you might have lost, so he sent me to lead an army to support you!" Gu Yue said with a serious expression.
Peng Haochu secretly nodded his head, Qiu Zhen's foresight was godly, he could actually hold back, no wonder Master was relying on him! He cupped his hands together and sighed: "It's all thanks to General Gu for getting here in time, otherwise …" Saying that, he turned to look at Li Wei, and did not continue.
It could be said that after a single battle, a third of the Chifeng Army's total troops had been wiped out. Because the strength of his Peng Army was beyond his imagination, Gu Yue did not dare to continue advancing.
When the two armies returned, and reported the details of the battle to Qiu Zhen, the latter was so furious that he stomped his feet. It was not that he did not warn Li Wei, but he wanted him to discuss with Peng Haochu more before taking action, why did he not listen to him, why did he have to be so stubborn, and in the end, he ended up losing fifty thousand troops.
Inside the pavilion, Qiu Zhen stared coldly at the dejected Li Wei. After holding in for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Li Wei, what else do you have to say?"
Li Wei lowered his head, and said faintly: "This defeat is all my fault, I am willing to accept my punishment!"
Qiu Zhen nodded his head, and said: "As the commander, you were careless. You rashly entered the army, fell into a trap, and caused the death of countless of our soldiers. Saying that, he coldly shouted, "Where are the sabre and axe men?"
"Here!" Two bare-chested men with ghost blades in their hands walked in from the outside.
Qiu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Take Li Wei out for show!"
"Yes sir!" The blade and axe hands did not care if you were a general or a soldier, only listening to orders. After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, the two blade and axe hands responded and stepped forward, one holding Li Wei's arm, they dragged him and walked out.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Qiu Zhen wanted to kill Li Wei, the surrounding generals and strategists were all shocked, and quickly went forward to stop him.
"Master Qiu, Li Wei is indeed in the wrong, and should be punished, but our army has already suffered a loss, and our morale is low. If we kill the generals now, it might be even harder to raise the morale of the entire army! I beg Master Qiu to reconsider! " Gu Yue, Le Tian, Ai Jia and the others who were born the same as Li Wei stepped forward one after another to plead for him.
"General Gu is right! Even if the Master Qiu wanted to punish the General Li severely, now is not the time. We should wait for our army to defeat the enemy with Tiger-tooth Mountain first before we do anything. "
"That's right!" I hope Master Qiu can show mercy! "
All the generals and advisers began to talk at once, trying to persuade him.
Qiu Zhen was only pretending, he had known Li Wei for long enough and their relationship was not bad. Furthermore, Li Wei was Tang Yin's trusted aide, how could he kill him so easily, whether it was in the public or the private, he could not kill Li Wei.
Seeing that all the generals and strategists had come to plead for leniency, Qiu Zhen took a deep breath and frowned, pretending to be deep in thought. After thinking for a long time, he waved his arms at the two blade and axe men and said: "Li Wei can avoid death, but there will be no mercy. Your position of General Peng Haochu will temporarily take over, and you will temporarily take over the position of Deputy Commander, Li Wei, are you convinced? "
Li Wei originally thought that he was dead for sure, because when Qiu Zhen was fuming like he wanted to eat someone, he never expected that he would actually listen to everyone's advice and leave him behind. He was just exempting himself from the post of commander, how could he not be convinced? Li Wei immediately knelt down and choked with sobs: "This subordinate thanks Master Qiu for your mercy in not killing me!"
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank, thank these generals and gentlemen who have pleaded for you!" Qiu Zhen deliberately turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
Actually, eliminating Li Wei's position as the Chifeng Army Commander was Qiu Zhen's true goal.
Right now, his Tianyuan Army was composed of four legions, with the commander being Xiao Muqing, the veteran in the battlefield, the old fox, who was good at offense and defense; The commander of the Sanshui Army, Liang Qi, had already been a famous general in the Feng Country before Tang Yin even made his name; The commander of the Directly Subordinate Army, Gu Yue, although slightly weaker, was a cautious, calm, and collected person. He could be considered a normal general among the four armies, his ability was the worst, and he made people feel uneasy.
This time, Qiu Zhen took advantage of the fact that Tang Yin was not around, and made a huge mistake, to exchange the positions of Li Wei and Peng Haochu, and let the latter take the lead, the former taking the lead. This way, his Chifeng Army would be able to cause even more people to feel at ease.
The Chifeng Army attack had been defeated miserably, Qiu Zhen planned to personally lead the entire army out to battle, and take down the Tiger-tooth Mountain in one go. Just at this time, Tang Yin followed Zhao Ju's caravan back to the Xibai City.
Tang Yin's return was perfect, allowing the floating emotions of the generals to be calmed. When he heard that Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan on the other side of the Tong Gate had forced Ning Yan to counterattack, he couldn't help but smile, and secretly nodded to himself. Previously, when he had sent Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan to help the two of them make the right decision, these two were indeed very cooperative, with only 80,000 Sanshui Army, they were able to repel the multiple large-scale counterattacks of the army of Ning, which was most likely something that the two of them could do.
Afterwards, he heard that Li Wei had lost in battle at Tiger-tooth Mountain and was dismissed by Qiu Zhen upon his return.
Tang Yin could not help but frown. Li Wei was the selected commander of the Chifeng Army, if there were any mistakes, the punishment would be, but why did Qiu Zhen leave so quickly?
Seeing his expression darken, how could Qiu Zhen not feel the unhappiness in his heart? He cupped his hands and said: "Master, on the battlefield, General Li Wei refused to listen to advice and acted alone, causing the entire army to suffer a crushing defeat, with more than 50,000 casualties. According to military law, he is subject to a heavy punishment.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to reply, Li Wei who was standing amongst the generals walked out, lifted his armor, knelt on one knee, and interfered: "Master, this battle is indeed your subordinate's fault, I did not listen to General Peng's advice, and caused the entire army to lose, Master Qiu has already shown mercy to your subordinate, your subordinate does not have any complaints!"
Sigh! Tang Yin sighed secretly. Even Li Wei had said it like that, so he didn't think it was appropriate for him to say anything more. Nodding, he turned his head and looked at Le Tian and Ai Jia. He asked: Who exactly is in command of the enemy forces stationed at the Tiger-tooth Mountain?
