Chapter 213 Everyone Actively Requests to Fight
Ning Yi's words stunned all the commanders and they were unable to react.
Qin Haifeng coughed and said loudly: "Everyone, the guards of Hushan Pass have restored order after receiving a letter personally sent by His Highness.
"This is the only way to force the traitor Fang Chengyu to give up his southward advance and head north to fight for Hushan Pass. Now, Fang Chengyu is being attacked from both sides, with no way to retreat."
Qin Haifeng's words made all the generals suddenly realize.
Many people looked at the Sixth Prince Ning Yi with admiration.
Your Highness is really powerful. He managed to cut off the old thief Cheng Yu's source of power.
Feng Zhong couldn't help but bow in admiration: "I am truly impressed."
He finally understood why the powerful Fang family army would abandon the coerced army and anxiously lead their own troops north.
He also understood why the Fang family army was so impatient and didn't care about casualties, and was determined to fight them to the death.
It turned out that Hushan Pass had been captured long ago. He thought something had happened at Hushan Pass and Fang Chengyu had sent cavalry to guard it.
But Feng Zhong thought of this and immediately said, "Your Highness, the Fang family army has more than 8,000 cavalrymen, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. We must be on guard. Now that Hushan Pass has been lost, they will definitely come to support us."
"Fang family cavalry?" Ning Yi glanced at them with disdain, not caring at all.
Qin Haifeng laughed heartily. "The reason the Fang family cavalry hasn't appeared yet is because they were ambushed by the guards at Hushan Pass, ordered by His Highness. Almost all of them were annihilated, so how could they have any cavalry to help them?"
"This..." Feng Zhong's eyes widened. That was the cavalry of the Fang family army, 8,000 cavalrymen.
The elite among the elite were ambushed?
If this were to be told to others, who would dare to believe it was true? When did the Fang family army become so easy to bully?
In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of the Fang family army in front. They are nothing but a group of wild dogs.
All the commanders laughed.
"The Fang family army is now at the end of its rope. Even without reinforcements, we can still defeat the invincible Fang family army."
Someone stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, order the assault. I am willing to lead my brothers in the vanguard."
"Your Highness, I am willing to lead the charge. If I dare to retreat even a step, Your Highness will chop off my head."
Everyone is now in high spirits. Under such circumstances, it would be a shame not to bully Fang's army and take the credit.
Even Feng Zhong was eager to join in the fight and immediately shouted, "Your Highness, the humble Imperial Guards are willing to lead the charge and make sure these remnants of the Fang family army are completely wiped out."
I don't want to miss such a good opportunity.
Ning Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone, there is no need to fight over it. This time, we are all the first to succeed. There is no first to attack. Everyone should attack together and beat up these drowned dogs."
"With over 60,000 soldiers and horses, if you still can't defeat the hungry Fang family army, this prince will look down on you."
"Except for the cavalry who will pursue the fleeing troops at any time, all other forces will attack."
"Yes, sir." At this time, the voices of the commanders and generals were louder than each other.
Looking at the Fang family army that had re-formed a defensive formation, the Beijing camp's mighty army began to advance rapidly.
In addition, the 20,000 Hushan Pass defense troops who had just arrived at the battlefield in the north also received orders and surrounded the area together.
Fang Chengyu was now riding on his warhorse with a dark face, looking at the armies from the north and south surrounding him, his heart bleeding.
The deputy general shouted anxiously: "Duke, retreat, we can't win the battle, the Fang family army can't all be lost here."
Fang Chengyu also knew that he could not win, but he remained calm: "Don't worry, my Fang family army is not that easy to deal with."
"First, scare them so they know the Fang army is not easy to defeat, and then retreat."
We cannot retreat now, as it will easily lead to a rout.
Under attack from both the north and the south, a large number of arrows flew everywhere, and the Fang family army also shot arrows desperately.
Men continued to fall from both sides. Qin Haifeng looked at the entire battlefield and sighed, "The dignified Fang family army has reached this point."
Ning Yi didn't take it seriously: "If you want to blame it, just blame that old fellow Fang Chengyu. He's just too greedy and wants to swallow an elephant."
If the old fellow Fang Chengyu had stayed at Hushan Pass to defend it honestly, there would be no problem at all.
And they are the direct descendants that the emperor relies on.
You will enjoy endless wealth and glory throughout your life and live a comfortable life.
But it is almost impossible for this old guy to get promoted again. After all, when he reaches the level of Duke, any further title he gets will make him a king of the opposite sex.
The old man was unwilling to accept this and wanted to take the opportunity to become an unrestrained warlord or vassal king. How could that be possible?
Qin Haifeng looked at the entire besieged Fang family army and advised, "Your Highness, stop the army and only use the bows and arrows that are superior enough to wear down the Fang family army. This will be more reliable."
"Then how long will it take?" Ning Yi refused directly: "This is a Fang family army of more than 20,000 people, not 2,000."
"That's only suitable for 20,000 against 2,000."
After all, the Fang family army was fully equipped with armor, and if they were to consume their strength like that, the archers would be exhausted after a few rounds.
Sure enough, after a few rounds, the number of arrows fired by both sides decreased a lot.
The armies of both sides began to approach each other with loud shouts and cries, and immediately started hacking at each other.
The Fang family army was indeed powerful. They resisted together from the north and the south, standing firm as a mountain. It was not easy to completely defeat the Fang family army of more than 20,000.
The cavalry of both sides were watching the west with eager eyes, and neither dared to move out rashly. Each side had only so many cavalry, and rushing into the battle of tens of thousands of infantry would have little effect and would easily lead to being trapped.
And there are enemy cavalry watching us.
Fang Chengyu looked at the entire battlefield with a grim gaze, secretly hating the fact that if his cavalry was still there, how could they be bullied like this by a group of miscellaneous soldiers?
Even if there were 10,000 Fang family soldiers here, it would be enough to fight the other side.
It's a pity that I was careless and let the young boy's constant conspiracies and tricks devastate me to my current state.
Now Fang Chengyu still looks down on the young Sixth Prince, and probably only defeated him by relying on conspiracy.
If it was a fair face-to-face confrontation on the battlefield, he could easily crush this little thing.
The battle lasted until noon, and the two sides were evenly matched. Even the attacking Beijing camp and the city defense army became unstable.
Fang Jiajun was also extremely tired, but he still persisted with a roar.
Ning Yi chose to stop the attack and come back to have lunch.
Several generals were dissatisfied.
"Your Highness, the Fang family army is failing. Why don't you stop the attack? If you give me another hour, it will be enough to defeat them."
Ning Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. We can eat, but the Fang family army has nothing to eat."
"Wouldn't it be better to deal with the hungry and weak Fang family army in the afternoon?"
With so many troops, they can do whatever they want to deal with the remaining Fang family army.
Watching them leave, Ning Yi immediately said to Qin Haifeng, "Send a message immediately to the soldiers ambushed in the west. Tell them to prepare and don't let Fang Chengyu and the Fang family army escape."
Qin Haifeng was surprised: "Your Highness, are you saying that the Fang family army is going to escape?"
He didn't see that Fang's army was going to run away, but rather that they seemed to be preparing to fight to the last moment.
