Yang Yizhong was both shocked and angry, but without any hesitation, he immediately shouted and ordered the whole army to turn around and counterattack! From yesterday to now, the number of soldiers in the imperial guards has been reduced to a dangerous level, but with the order from the commander-in-chief, these soldiers still turned around and counterattacked... It was not just because of the awareness of the emperor's personal army, nor was it just because the Zhao emperor had sufficient support, but also because the imperial guards were generally of clean origin and dared not disobey orders, and also because they were helpless to set up camp with their backs to the water and might not be able to escape.
Of course, there must also be the fact that Yang Yizhong himself usually behaves in a dignified and calm manner in front of his subordinates, which is due to his accumulated prestige.
Therefore, as Li Cheng silently reined in his horse and entered the camp, Yang Yizhong gave an order and the battle was immediately repeated in an extremely tragic manner. Both sides were elite soldiers. One side held a long sword but was restricted by the terrain of the camp, while the other side was familiar with the camp and flexible in combat, but could not ignore the opponent's advantage in weapon length.
Often, a single strike from a soldier with a long sword could directly cause casualties, but in order to deliver this winning strike, he would first have to endure the flexible siege of multiple soldiers with short weapons, and then directly lose his combat effectiveness.
Generally speaking, this is the camp of the Banzhi after all. With Yang Yizhong's order, the number of Banzhi directly participating in the battle is far greater than those of the long-sword armored soldiers, so the balance of the war is showing a trend of reversing again.
But this does not mean that the danger caused by the advance and retreat just now has stopped. On the contrary, it is because Li Cheng has more than just these soldiers! As long as Li Cheng invests in core combat power again, the Song army will still be in trouble.
Yang Yizhong also realized this problem, so after hesitating for a moment, he once again tightened his grip on the precious sword at his waist, and then softly called out to his most useful captain in front of him: "Zhai Biao!"
"control!"
Zhai Biao had been waiting for orders nearby and responded immediately after hearing the words.
"One more time." Yang Yizhong took a deep breath.
Of course Zhai Biao knew what "one more try" meant, but when he heard the military order, he first glanced at the very obvious figure on horseback in the distance, and then obviously hesitated... Because as the rain became lighter and lighter, and it was getting closer to noon, the light behind the light clouds had already become more and more sufficient, and Zhai Biao had very sharp eyesight, and he could see clearly that the enemy commander was holding the reins with both hands, acting casually, and standing behind the slightly sparse battle group like a big horse and a golden sword, which seemed a little inappropriate.
But no matter how inappropriate it was, after a brief discussion in a low voice, the two decided to try again - although they didn't know whether this person was Li Cheng, it was obvious that it was him riding into the camp that excited those soldiers with long swords, so no matter what, if they killed this person or drove him away, they would be able to get through this afternoon, or even the whole day.
The only thing is that Yang Yizhong is not as skilled in martial arts as Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, and he can't find a particularly safe bow and arrow in the rain, not to mention the chaos in the camp? Therefore, he can only concentrate some elite soldiers to carry out a surprise attack and behead.
The opportunity to fight is fleeting, and once the decision is made, there is no way to delay.
So, soon, an operation that was more like a assault than a decapitation began.
Nearly a hundred soldiers who had not participated in the battle, at least half of whom were wearing the most representative lamellar armor of this era, suddenly came out from the back of the tent and almost immediately formed a relatively tight attack formation.
"That man is Li Cheng. Follow me to kill this beast to repay the emperor's kindness!" As soon as the formation was formed, a general in a silver helmet and armor suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Li Cheng, then turned around and shouted loudly.
After one call, hundreds of people responded in unison, and the sound of shouting and killing immediately drowned out other parts of the battlefield.
After the response was given, the general with the silver helmet put down the silver visor on his helmet, leaving only his eyes exposed. Then he held a broadsword upside down and charged forward bravely.
Moreover, for the Song army, they were not sure that the man was Li Cheng, but for the long-sword soldiers, there was no need to hesitate at all. They almost put aside the battle in front of them and even sold their backs to the Song army behind them. They swarmed back and tried to protect their own commander-in-chief.
However, since the Song army had decided to launch such a surprise attack, how could they just let it go?
Not to mention that the Song army soldiers who were originally fighting were trying hard to engage, even most of the armored soldiers who were in the camp and forming a strong attack formation were originally trying to block and separate these troops... One side rushed straight to the north and attacked Li Cheng, while the other side turned around from both sides and attacked from both sides. The two sides almost disregarded everything and collided with each other.
In the brief battle, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and wailing suddenly sounded, but it could not cover up the shouts and cries of both sides.
Only the Song army had great momentum, and this 100-man army was the elite among the elite, not to mention the silver-helmeted general and several surrounding warriors were extremely brave, killing and slashing continuously? So although those long-sword armored soldiers tried their best, they still saw this wave of strong attacks gradually approaching their own general.
However, Li Cheng, the Grand Commander of Qi State and the focal point of the battlefield, looked at this scene with a blank expression and no movement... It was unknown whether he was extremely calm or just frightened for a moment.
Before they knew it, the silver-helmeted general was only twenty steps away from Li Cheng, with only three or five people between them.
It happened in a flash. The last few Song soldiers who still had momentum mustered up their courage and rushed forward. The leading general with a silver helmet and a guard beside him each took a sword and killed a long-sword armored soldier who was blocking the way. The rest of the people also blocked the nearest reinforcements from the Qi army.
At this moment, the general in the silver helmet strode forward, but suddenly stopped and threw the machete in his hand directly at the man on horseback.
