Meanwhile, at the border crossing.
The battle had been going on for some time, and the soldiers who went into the pass first were slaughtered, their blood flowing like rivers, their cries of agony filling the air.
At the battleground, Yue Fei, riding a fine horse and wielding the Li Quan spear, charged ahead, surrounded by countless enemy corpses.
Dealing with these soldiers was a piece of cake for him; they were far too weak!
Compared to the previous battle on the Beiku Grassland, today's battle was like child's play. This army that came with such momentum was simply coming to their deaths.
Although it was a crushing battle, Yue Fei's sense of surprise and doubt only grew stronger.
It's utterly absurd that the imperial court would send such a small force to attack Northern Liang!
This means that they most likely have another plan in mind!
Therefore, Yue Fei specially arranged for people to keep a close watch on the pass to see if any more enemy soldiers would rush in.
If there really is a large army lurking in the rear, waiting for an opportunity to advance, it's good to prepare a response early.
At this moment, facing these small fry, Yue Fei remained calm and composed, wielding his spear with great force, each thrust bringing down a fallen man.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry beside them did the same. After several rounds of charges, they killed and wounded many on the other side, and countless corpses lay on the ground!
Even so, Yue Fei could still hear shouts from the other side: "Charge! Charge in!"
This really surprised him!
Last time they attacked, they immediately fled when they realized they couldn't win. But this time they charged in with all their might. Could it be that they have another plan behind their backs?
Although the number of people killed increased, Yue Fei's unease grew stronger.
Just then, a cry of surprise came from the pass:
"A large army is coming from beyond the pass!!"
"A large army! They're coming very quickly!!!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei's eyes narrowed, and his whole body trembled!
Oh no! I was right!
They really have another plan in store!
These people were determined to rush in, their plan being to hold us back at the pass so that their main army could launch a full-scale attack from behind!
In this way, this critical juncture is in grave danger!
Once he understood this, the veins on Yue Fei's neck bulged, and anger surged to his head.
Before his departure, the lord repeatedly instructed him not to leave the pass and not to allow the imperial army to enter Beiliang. If the pass is lost, how can he face the lord?
Yue Fei immediately shouted, "Quickly defeat them! Hold the pass!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he became even more ruthless...
——
Similarly, just as that exclamation fell...
Standing at the rear, Fang Cheng, whose face was full of worry, narrowed his eyes and his whole body trembled involuntarily!
What?! A large army is rapidly approaching from behind?!
Where did this large army come from? Whose troops are they?
Barbarians? Impossible! They couldn't possibly have arrived this quickly!
Could it be... that Lord Jin has mobilized troops again?
That's not right! He said earlier that he could only bring this many troops, so how could there be more troops coming?
The next instant, Fang Cheng's face turned deathly pale, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
Could it be that Qin Ze has returned from Xijing?!
Oh no! If that's true, then this is terrible!
But soon, Fang Cheng suddenly realized that it was impossible! Qin Ze was fighting against Tu Yuan's army in Xijing, so how could he possibly return?
Even if he were to return, it would be impossible for him to lead a large army back so quickly, overcoming mountains and rivers.
Could it be that Lord Jin secretly mobilized troops but deliberately kept it from me?
Looking at the fierce battle before him, Fang Cheng felt a chill in his heart, and an even more terrifying thought fermented in his mind.
"Does Lord Jin mean for me to lead this army in a forced charge so that his secretly deployed troops can enter the pass? He has already planned everything!"
"This also means that we are at the forefront..."
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but clench his teeth.
Just then, another exclamation came from somewhere!
"Look closely! It's the Crimson Flame Banner! It's the Crimson Flame Banner!"
"They're our people!!!"
Fang Cheng's pupils dilated, and his mind went completely blank for a moment.
At the same time, Yue Fei was thrusting his spear into the throat of an enemy soldier when he heard the exclamation, and his hand trembled as he pulled the spear away.
"call--"
He let out a heavy sigh, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand.
Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh.
The next instant, he raised his head, his tiger-like eyes narrowed, and he roared fiercely:
"Come! Join forces with our lord and attack from both sides, let's finish this quickly!!"
"kill!"
Upon hearing that Qin Ze was leading his army from beyond the pass, everyone was shaken, and their fighting spirit soared even higher!
If that's the case, then we can go all out and charge forward without any scruples!
This time, we will definitely not let a single one of them escape!
Amidst the shouts of battle, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry grew even more ferocious. Wielding long spears and riding wildly galloping warhorses, they charged forward like a torrent.
Moments later, the army from beyond the pass also arrived!
Looking at the troops fighting fiercely near the pass, Zhang Liao said in a loud voice:
"Look carefully, don't kill the wrong person!"
"kill!"
At a shout, the crowd surged forward like a tidal wave.
Of course, the checkpoint was already completely blocked, so it was impossible for everyone to rush in.
However, with troops attacking from both the front and rear, Fang Cheng's army was powerless to resist.
Outside the pass, Qin Ze sat astride his warhorse, his expression calm.
