The Legend Zhuohua

Chapter 78

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, but the outcome was actually decided on the first day.

When Yelujing led his army to charge out, Liu Chen was looking at the enemy on the city wall. He saw flags fluttering in the distance, dust and smoke billowing, and earth-shattering drums suddenly sounded, and the ground under his feet seemed to shake.

"Your Majesty, the people from Beiliang are coming!" Someone shouted in his ear.

Liu Chen grimaced: "I saw it!"

He pulled out the Emperor's Sword and faced the direction from which the Beiliang army was coming. With war and killing intent burning in his eyes, he loudly said: "All officers and men listen to my orders and follow me out of the city to kill the enemy. Kill all the Beiliang bandits and protect our Chen Kingdom." Mountains and rivers! I, Emperor Liu Chen of the Chen Kingdom, will live and die with you, and I will never back down!"

Liu Chen's words were like a cluster of flames. The moment they landed, they ignited the fire oil all over the mountains and plains. A war swept across the wilderness, fighting spirit rose into the sky, and 200,000 people shouted in unison: "Drive out the Tartars and protect our mountains and rivers!"

Beiliang's soldiers and horses roared in, their weapons reflecting the rays of the scorching sun. In a blink of an eye, they arrived two miles below the city and were right in front of them.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened. The ground where the Beiliang vanguard army passed suddenly cracked open, revealing a deep ravine full of fangs. Countless Beiliang cavalry were caught off guard and fell into the deep pit. There were countless barbs of sharp weapons stuck in the pit. Every soldier and war horse who fell into it was not spared. They were all penetrated. In an instant, the pit was filled with flesh and blood, turning it into a purgatory on earth.

Yelujing's pupils shrank, and she wanted to stop the front, but it was too late. The soldiers behind didn't know what happened in front. The soldiers behind pushed the front, bumped into each other, and fell into the deep pit one after another. Nearly ten thousand cavalry and horses were buried in it, becoming the flesh pads of those who came after them. Countless Beiliang cavalry stepped on the corpses of their compatriots across the terrifying ten-foot-long ditch.

Yelujing's silver-gray pupils were filled with red bloodshot eyes. He stared at the gap and murmured: "Such a big trap..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of war drums suddenly ringing from three directions outside Juliang Pass. Along with the powerful drums, huge trees burning with flames rolled down from high places, and the speed became faster and faster. , knocked countless Beiliang soldiers off their horses, and then crushed them over. The wind helped the fire, and countless Beiliang soldiers fell into the sea of ​​​​fire, making endless screams.

At the same time, Chen soldiers held their battle flags high and charged out from a high position. Three square formations were formed on three sides. Rows of soldiers held crossbows and took turns stepping forward to release arrows. Their well-trained cooperation maximized the power of the arrow formations. Those Beiliang cavalry who crossed the chasm on corpses were about to face them in shock. Facing the arrow array in three directions, only a shield could block the rain of arrows from the sky. Immediately, countless soldiers died under the crossbows.

Yelujing had fought against Liu Yan for many years, and he could tell at a glance that this was an arrow formation trained by Liu Yan. But Liu Yan was already dead, who was leading the troops?

The soldiers from Beiliang suffered heavy losses when they met and their morale was greatly reduced. At this time, the city gate of Juliangguan was opened wide, and the well-trained soldiers from Chen State who were full of fighting spirit rushed out. Yelujing saw in the lookout mirror that the soldiers rushing to the front were , turned out to be the young emperor of Chen Kingdom—Liu Chen!
