Chapter 1005 - 1005 14 Two Great Victories 2 in 1_3

Chapter 1005: Chapter 14 Two Great Victories [2 in 1]_3 Chapter 1005: Chapter 14 Two Great Victories [2 in 1]_3 “Five thousand troops managed to carve through the severe encampment of three hundred thousand, killing back and forth with less than a two-tenth casualty rate on their side, yet we have suffered more losses, almost reaching two-tenths. It’s disgraceful…”

“Hurry and kill… stop damn lamenting…”

“Kill them…”

At that moment, the troops Wu Tiejun had dispatched to ‘assist Fei Xinyu and the other two’ galloped into action!

But what they saw was the Yan Army’s camp already showing signs of collapse.

All of them were experts in the art of war, their eyes instantly sharp as if seeing an undressed… whatever!

They were all men accustomed to battling on the field, why think more in this situation? Just act quickly.

“For the glory…”

Meng Yougong bellowed with a roar, “Don’t let them eat all the meat, brothers, we’ve caught up, we should at least get to drink some soup… Kill, kill, kill… Hurry up… Charge, charge, charge for me…”

With a thunderous noise, thirty thousand reinforcement troops naturally threw themselves into the fray.

Only then did the Yan Army finally begin to fall apart and flee.

As Meng Yougong’s forces advanced hundreds of feet unhindered, the catastrophic defeat and desperate escape of the Yan Army began.

Even the Yan Army’s officers tried their utmost to rally their forces, but by then the rout was irreversible, and all efforts were in vain and futile.

Even the most divine of commanders couldn’t stabilize their forces under such circumstances.

Fleeing soldiers only cared about escaping with their lives, no matter who was in front of them.

They simply charged ahead, searching for a way to survive because their lives were their own and everything else was unimportant.

Some officers were still angrily trying to rally their troops one moment, only to be swept up in the tide of fleeing soldiers and unwittingly dragged along the next.

Other officers were knocked to the ground by the panic-stricken Yan Army deserters, then trampled over by thousands, by both men and horses, turned into a pile of mush in the blink of an eye!

The defeat of a large army was so terrifying that wherever it passed was more devastating than a swarm of locusts.

The bravest of warriors caught in such a tide of flight could only go with the flow and run forward, even if only one person behind them shouted, they would run along.

At that point, neither friend nor foe mattered anymore.

After a short while, forces from all four directions merged in their pursuit.

“Meng Yougong!”

“Present!”

“Who is blocking the Yan Army over there?”

“It’s Tian Dahui!”

Fei Xinyu furrowed his brows, “Tian Dahui’s forces aren’t that substantial. Take your troops and immediately assist Tian Dahui. You must prevent the Yan Army from crossing over!”

“Understood!”

“Zhao Yunlong, Li Changfeng!”

“Your subordinates are here!”

“You two come with me. We’ll chase the Yan Army for three thousand miles!”

Fei Xinyu roared angrily, still leading the charge, at the forefront of his horse.

Once again with a thunderous sound, the Qin Army’s iron cavalry transformed into a massive torrent, rolling straight over their foes!

The great victory was secured!

…

As it turned out, Fei Xinyu’s judgment was correct. By the time Meng Yougong arrived with his troops, the opposite Yan Army was desperately assaulting Tian Dahui’s camp, engaging in a mad, cost-disregarding and life-disregarding frenzy of attacks.

Tian Dahui’s twenty thousand troops staunchly held the mountain pass like an immovable rock.

Despite the Yan Army’s wave after wave of fierce assaults, like a tidal surge, he stood his ground, unmoving, not retreating a single step!

Because of this, one could imagine the devastating toll on the Qin Army, with the number of deaths on both sides skyrocketing dramatically!

Tian Dahui’s imposing figure, at the center of his troops, was as stern as iron.

Behind him stood two thousand fully armored soldiers—his winning hand, his ultimate force of desperation!

Countless soldiers from both sides fell in battle, and the accumulating corpses even blocked the roads. Some Yan soldiers rushed forward to clear away all the bodies, quickly emptying the roads in a frenzy, as if what they were moving were not the bodies of their fallen comrades, but barriers obstructing their path to victory!

With each wave of removed bodies, it heralded a new, more ferocious attack, a charge that was about to begin, truly a life-forsaking rush.

The leading general of the Yan Army stood with a longsword on high ground, overseeing the battle with an ashen face.

“Even if it cost all our lives, we have to push through and take this hilltop!”

He knew something had gone wrong on the other side.

Though he didn’t know what had occurred.

But one thing was clear to him: if they failed to break through here, the other side was finished!

Tian Dahui only felt the pressure on him increasing moment by moment, an inexplicable tightness in his chest, but his expression remained steadfast.

I bear the ultimate responsibility of defense, I must hold this mountain pass no matter what!

Because on my shoulders, I carry the lives of fifty thousand brothers!

If I yield here, all those brothers are done for!

Before I die, this passage will not be lost!

He bit down on his teeth over and over, watching his soldiers fall one by one in battle, those who had bragged in front of him daily, who had drunk with him, who had brawled alongside him—his brother soldiers!

And now they were dead, nearly all dead, yet his gaze was like a block of ice, without the slightest flicker of emotion.

Perhaps today I too will die in battle, then I’ll go join my brothers in the underworld to ask forgiveness, hand in hand to the Yellow Springs. But today, this mountain pass, cannot retreat half a step!

The conflict and carnage escalated relentlessly, reaching a point of touching blood that filled the sky.

Life and blood, at this moment, were so cheap.

Suddenly, in the distance, banners fluttered, and Meng Yougong’s thirty thousand fresh troops had arrived.

Tian Dahui’s eyes brightened, feeling as if a colossal weight had been lifted, his eyes no longer darkened, his chest no longer heavy. Closing his eyes, tears finally poured forth.
