Chapter 317 Complete Failure
The Chu troops in the front row were like paper dummies. They were either knocked away by the cavalry or crushed into pulp. More than a hundred people died in an instant.
Jin Hu took the lead, dancing wildly with the sword in his hand, breaking out of the camp and killing the frightened enemy wantonly.
Five hundred Liao troops and horses followed, charging and killing the fleeing enemies. They even set fire to the wind and set fire to every enemy tent.
More than 700 Chu army's vanguard cavalry were killed in a blink of an eye, with almost all casualties.
Jin Hu saw Chen Dao's figure from afar. He galloped his horse to cut a bloody path and rushed forward, shouting loudly: "Chen Dao, why don't you get off your horse and accept surrender!"
While roaring, Jin Hu had already reached five steps before killing, and the long knife in his hand was shining with a frightening cold light.
The moment Chen Dao saw Jin Hu, his face showed a complex expression of shame and anger.
Looking around, Chen Dao knew that the defeat was certain. He knew that he would definitely be defeated this time. If he took action rashly, he would just die.
……………………
The battle ended quickly, and the entire Chen Dao army was turned into a sea of flames.
The vanguard force was just the beginning, but the real difficulty was the 30,000 elite cavalry of Chen's legion. Jin Hu only ordered the soldiers to rest for a while before running south along the avenue.
Ten miles away, a tough offensive and defensive battle was still going on.
Jin Hu is indeed a good general. With only a thousand infantry, he was able to withstand the violent attack of Kaige's 4,000 troops.
However, after all, the Chu army had a large number of people and could barely hold on for a few hours. As the casualties of the soldiers increased, the North Korean sergeants gradually showed signs of being unable to hold on.
Kaige was very excited and said that he would work harder and defeat the Golden Tiger.
Just as Kaige's confidence doubled, a soldier in the army suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no, there's a fire in the rear!"
One person screamed, and his surrounding companions all turned around, and sure enough, they saw fire shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing in the direction behind them.
“The camp is on fire~~”
"The enemy has captured our camp!"
In an instant, most of the soldiers saw the fire in the rear. They were originally high in fighting spirit, but in an instant they fell into panic.
Kai Ge, who was determined to win, was also shocked by the sudden fire in the rear. He could not figure out why the fire broke out in the rear.
Just when he was in shock, the dust rising from the sky behind him hit Kai Ge hard in the heart like a heavy hammer.
But as far as the eye can see, there are billowing dust and mist, and there are vaguely countless cavalry surging among them, roaring towards our army. The battle flag with the word "gold" is flying high, stabbing all the Chu soldiers.
They were all terrified.
"Damn it, why did the golden tiger appear behind you? Could it be that I fell into his trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Kai Ge was horrified, his heart was filled with shock, and he ordered his generals to divide their troops to attack the enemy coming from behind.
At this time, drums suddenly sounded loudly in the camp. Jin Xiaosheng, who was originally defending, suddenly opened the camp door and led his troops to fight back.
"Kill Kaige!……………………"
“Kill Chen to………………!”
The Korean soldiers who had been fighting for several hours poured out all their anger, and the loud killing sounds scared the Chu army to the point of bursting with fear.
Being attacked from both sides, with the camp on fire, and such an unfavorable situation, even the most elite soldiers cannot withstand such a psychological blow.
The more than 30,000 Chu troops were like ants that had collapsed from their nest. They did not dare to fight again. They scattered and fled with their heads in their hands.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Seeing the soldiers around him disintegrating like a tide, Kaige couldn't suppress them even by killing several of them, and his position was immediately thrown into disarray.
Jin Xiaosheng counterattacked, wielding his sword and riding his horse, and attacked Kaige directly, shouting: "Kaige, you have fallen into the clever trick of our General Jin, you must accept your fate."
Kaige didn't think much about it, so he swung his knife to block it.
"Hang! Bang! Bang!"
The two of them made three moves in the blink of an eye, Jin Xiaosheng's blade was as sharp as the wind, and Kaige barely responded.
If Jin Hu's martial arts is first-rate, the martial arts of these two men are second-rate. Their martial arts are not even close to each other. In a normal battle, it would be difficult to determine the outcome without going through hundreds of rounds.
But now that Kaige was defeated, his heart was filled with fear, and Fang was at a disadvantage as soon as they fought.
After more than a dozen moves, Kaige saw that the soldiers around him were getting fewer and fewer as they fought, and he had no intention of fighting. He feigned a few strikes, found an opening, jumped out of the battle group, turned his horse, and fled towards the north.
The golden tiger in the dust and mist gallops its horse like flying.
After a night of galloping back and forth, many of the horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth and lost the ability to continue fighting. In fact, the cavalry led by Jin Hu at this time was only more than 300 people.
Jin Hu had an idea on the way, and ordered the soldiers to tie branches to the horses' tails and raise large amounts of dust to create the illusion of thousands of horses.
Seeing the defeat of the Chu army, Jin Hu knew that his strategy had indeed worked.
The Chu army had been defeated, and there was no need to hide anymore. Jin Hu then ordered the knights to untie the branches from their horses' tails and charge towards the oncoming defeated army.
Three hundred iron cavalry, like ghosts emerging from the underworld, fought out of the billowing dust and mist.
Jin Hu took the lead and swung out the sword in his hand. The bright light splashed and cut an oncoming enemy rider into two pieces.
The blade of the knife is carried by the hunting wind, dancing in all directions like the autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves.
In the cold light, blood spurted out and severed limbs were scattered.
As the iron cavalry passed by, a long trail of blood stretched from south to north like a scarlet carpet.
In the blood mist, the golden tiger's blade-like gaze swept around and caught a glimpse of an enemy general in golden armor who killed several of his own soldiers in the rebel army. His martial arts was quite impressive.
Jin Hu expected that the enemy general must be Kai Ge, so he sneered, used his horse to cut a bloody path, and killed Kai Ge.
Although the entire Chen Dao legion of the Chu army was defeated, Chen Dao, as the core, suddenly attacked. Amidst the violent shouts, the steel sword fan was swept out.
Jin Hu didn't have time to think too much, so he raised his sword to block it.
"Qiang~~"
Sparks flew everywhere, Jin Hu's body shook violently, blood surged in his chest, and he was almost knocked off his horse.
"This man is so powerful. Could it be that he is too old?"
In shock, Jin Hu tried his best to restrain his surging energy and blood, and used all his strength to strike out with his backhand.
Chen Dao's sword was pointed at an angle and he blocked it calmly.
In the clash of metals, Jin Hu's figure was shaken again, and the knife struck out with all his strength was rebounded, but Chen Dao looked calm and relaxed.
Jin Hu was horrified in his heart, and his face was filled with infinite shock.
When the two moves were exchanged, Chen Dao did not use all his strength, but he had already judged that the enemy general was not weak in martial arts and must be Jin Hu.
"General Chen Dao, your martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary, but the overall situation has been decided. I advise you to surrender."
Jin Hu's tone was cold and solemn, with an unquestionable power.
“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”
Chen Dao snorted coldly, stretched out his arms, and struck out with the steel knife in his hand like a violent storm.
Jin Hu's martial arts attack power is not strong, but his defense is top-notch.
Chen Dao attacked more than ten times in a row. Although Jin Hu was forced to deal with it, he didn't force him to reveal any flaws.
Even so, Jin Hu was shocked in his heart.
He had previously heard that Guan Yu and Cao Ren were defeated by Chen Dao, and he still didn't believe it. But after seeing them today, he truly believed that the rumors were true.
General Chen Dao of the Central Plains was indeed a top-notch tiger general in the world, and Jin Hu was no match for him.
After more than ten moves, Jin Hu knew that if he continued to fight, he would be defeated, and he began to think about how to escape.
It was just that he had always been timid in his heart, and when he was distracted for a moment, the power of the sword became slightly stagnant.
Chen Dao keenly seized the opportunity, spotted the slightest flaw, and used all his strength to strike three times in a row.
But after hearing a scream, the steel knife in Jin Hu's hand flew away, and he flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
Jin Hu was about to climb up the mountain, but when he opened his mouth, a stream of blood arrows spurted out. The pain was so intense that he could no longer move.
Chen Dao stopped and stationed his horse, and the soldiers who swept the formation on the left and right swarmed up. However, they were greeted by countless feather arrows, and they were attacked from behind. Faced with this situation, they could only retreat.
Looking around the battlefield at this time, the cavalry and infantry after the rendezvous were like a meat grinder, killing the four thousand Chu troops in pieces, making ghosts cry and wolves howl.
At this time, the sky had begun to light up, the rumbling shouts of killing finally faded away, and the battlefield was littered with corpses and filled with smoke.
"General, this plan of yours is really brilliant, I will put you to shame."
Jin Xiaosheng came on horseback and shouted, his blood-stained face filled with excitement and admiration. After this battle, he was completely convinced of Jin Long's position as the general.
However, Chen Dao finally led his army to break out of the encirclement, and then slowly retreated farther. While Chen Dao retreated one step, the entire Liaodong Army attacked one step, and the entire North Korea began to slowly return to the border line.
The map of North Korea began to slowly return to its original state.
Chen Dao's blood-stained body sighed helplessly: "Pass my order and the whole army will return north immediately!"
At this time, there were only 30,000 defeated soldiers left in the 50,000-strong army.
Five days later, Nie Zefeng, who had established his base camp in Liaoyang, summoned all the generals who participated in Liaodong. They were Zhao Yun who had achieved a great victory, Lu Bu who had suffered losses, and Chen Dao who had won first and then failed. They were completely defeated.
Zhang Bao's general.
Nie Zefeng faced the four generals and asked: Are you finished? You are all talking about the battle process. I don’t want to hear the process, but I want to hear your gains?
Upon hearing Nie Zefeng's question, the four generals all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Nie Zefeng stood up first and asked: "General Chen Dao, have you gained anything?"
Chen Dao knelt down and replied with vicissitudes of life and dissatisfaction: "I deserve to be punished for my crime. The defeated general has nothing to face the king. How can there be any gain!"
Nie Zefeng smiled slightly and said: "Yes, you are quite extravagant. In your first expedition, you lost 20,000 troops. Not bad, and brought back 3,000 to me. Why didn't you gain anything? You failed, but you still understand it! 2
Thousands of soldiers were sent away in vain? Are you worthy of their heroic souls? Maybe you are a victorious general and have won many battles, but it doesn't matter if you fail once, you can achieve greater victory next time."
After Chen Dao heard this, Chen Dao hurriedly added: "In terms of gains, I think that although our cavalry corps is stronger than the Korean soldiers in terms of attack, in mountain warfare, we must vigorously develop soldiers for mountain warfare."
Nie Zefeng asked: "How do you say this?"
