Chapter 0054 Xie Yingdeng Comes to Help
In the distance, Xie Yingdeng was followed by more than a hundred people, all of them were in good shape. They were looking at the battlefield in the distance, each of them showing a worried look. In the distance, the young man of Xiaohu was running towards them.
"Xiao Hu, how is it? Are there any more people in the rear army?" Xie Yingdeng went forward.
"No, Master Yin Shi has already pushed all his troops forward. The rear army has eliminated some old and weak people and looked after the food and grass. There is no one else." Xiao Hu said quickly: "But we only have more than a hundred people now, but the enemy has tens of thousands of people. Can we really kill them?"
"Under normal circumstances, we would not charge forward, as that would be courting death. But now is different. Both sides are at the most critical moment, and charging forward would be a sure-kill blow." Xie Yingdeng pointed at the grain carts on the opposite side and said, "Besides, we don't have to make contact with the enemy. See those grains? We charge forward and set fire to the enemy, then shout loudly and pretend to have more people. This will definitely shake the enemy's morale, and the Beggars' Army will have a chance of survival. If it still doesn't work by then, it means that it is God's will, and we have repaid the favor."
It was impossible for Xie Yingdeng to sacrifice the lives of more than a hundred of his brothers here just to repay his gratitude. Sure enough, after hearing Xie Yingdeng's words, the hesitation they had at first disappeared without a trace, and they all cheered.
Xie Yingdeng took the bow and arrow and ran quickly, followed by the brothers from Xie Jiazhuang. They ran in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, these young people had agile steps and soon followed Xie Yingdeng to the Sui army's food and grass area.
"Who are they? Ah!" The hundred or so firemen who were guarding the food and grass soon discovered Xie Yingdeng and others. They were about to go up to fight, but unexpectedly they were faced with a rain of arrows. Dozens of people fell to the ground in an instant. The remaining firemen were killed one after another in the second round of arrows, leaving countless food and grass on the ground.
"Light a fire." Xie Yingdeng looked at the food and fodder with a trace of struggle on his face. If these things were transported to Xiejiazhuang, he didn't know how many people could survive. But when he thought of Li Yu, he quickly put this idea aside and asked someone to light a fire.
Yin Shishi, who was resisting Li Yu's crazy attack, suddenly heard a panicked voice in his ears. He looked back with a look of horror on his face. A black smoke cloud rose from the rear army. The food and grass he carried had been burned. In the black smoke, countless figures could be seen running back and forth.
"Brother Lao Songling is here, begging for life, brother, hold on!"
"The heroes of Crow Ridge are here, brothers of the Beggars' Army, we are coming!"
…
There were shouts coming from the smoke, and it seemed that countless figures were about to rush out from the smoke. Yin Shishi's face changed drastically. He knew that these so-called rebels might not be real, but it was a fact that the food and grass they carried were burned. Thinking of what would happen if tens of thousands of troops lost their food and grass, Yin Shishi shuddered.
"The enemy's food and grass have been burned, attack." Li Yu saw Yin Shishi's food and grass being burned, and he laughed and shouted loudly: "Our reinforcements have arrived. Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy."
The Beggar Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, became highly motivated when they heard Li Yu's shouts. They all showed excitement on their faces and followed Li Yu to launch the final charge.
Compared with the Beggars' Army, the morale of the Sui Army suddenly dropped a lot. The Sui Army had traveled a long distance and their physical strength was reduced. They had been fighting with the Beggars' Army until now and had reached the limit of their physical strength. Now that the food and grass were burned, it was even worse.
"Quick, push the grain cart and kill them." Xie Yingdeng looked at the battlefield in the distance, which was still in chaos. He suddenly grabbed the grain cart in front of him. The grain cart was already on fire. Xie Yingdeng grabbed the handle with both hands and pushed the grain cart towards Yin Shishi's rear army. Others followed closely behind. Suddenly, a fire dragon appeared in Yin Shishi's rear army and killed the rear army. For a moment, the momentum was so great that it seemed as if there were thousands of troops.
Thick smoke rose up, and the Sui army had no idea how many enemies were behind them. When they saw the fire dragon approaching, they were frightened and turned pale. They were in chaos and some even started to run away.
"We've been defeated, we've been defeated." Someone shouted loudly in the chaos. The rear army was ambushed, and the food and grass were burned. The army's morale was completely gone. How could they even think about fighting? It was already good enough that they could escape.
"Capture Yin Shishi alive." Li Yu would not miss this opportunity, and led the cavalry to charge again, aiming directly at Yin Shishi. Seeing this, the Sui army had no intention of resisting and turned to flee.
When Yin Shishi saw Li Yu so close to him, and saw the soldiers around him fleeing one after another, he immediately let out a long sigh, knowing that at this moment, he had lost the last chance to defeat Li Yu. If he didn't leave, the soldiers around him would not be a match for Li Yu's cavalry. He immediately turned his horse around and left.
"Master Yin Shi has escaped, Master Yin Shi has escaped."
Seeing this, Li Yu immediately shouted loudly. On the battlefield, shouts were heard everywhere. Yin Hongzhi and others who were constantly winning victories looked back and saw that Yin Shishi's flag was retreating. They dared not stay and turned around and fled without waiting for Yin Hongzhi to give orders.
The Qihuo Army, which was on the verge of defeat, was overjoyed when they saw this. At this time, the sound of war drums rang out from behind them, and a woman in yellow could be seen faintly beating the drums.
"Kill them, charge forward." Pang Jue knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he was the first to charge forward, and the young and strong men behind him followed closely. They put down the bamboo poles in their hands, picked up the enemy's swords and guns from the ground, followed Pang Jue, and attacked the Sui army.
"Those who surrender will not be killed." Li Gu also ordered his men to follow behind.
"They actually won." Cen Wenben and others who were preparing to charge saw it clearly, with a look of disbelief on their faces. The strength disparity between the two sides seemed to be that of the Beggars' Army, who would be defeated. Unexpectedly, the Beggars' Army won in the end. More than 10,000 young and strong men killed the 30,000-strong army, forcing them to flee in a panic.
"Yeah, it's incredible, he actually won." Fan Jin also exclaimed in surprise, with a complicated look on his face. He hoped that Li Yu could win, but he didn't want to. When the time really came, Fan Jin also found that there was still a trace of excitement in his heart.
"Quick, pack up and prepare to take care of the wounded." The sound of the war drums had already disappeared, and Yang Ruoxi began to direct the old and weak in the back to prepare to treat the wounded. The rear camp instantly became busy.
"After this battle, the Beggars' Army is now a real Beggars' Army." Cen Wenben sighed, "I'm afraid Master Yin Shi didn't expect that his failure would create a brand new Beggars' Army."
Only an army that has experienced fighting is a real army. In this war, the Qihuo Army suffered heavy casualties , but those who can stay are the elite among the elite. Cen Wenben seems to have seen a powerful army rising.
