Zhao Shuaizhen, standing beneath the banner, watched as Peng Jiahu, leading over ten thousand cavalrymen, charged toward him like a ferocious beast.
He was also extremely shocked. After seeing Peng Jiahu's ferocity, he immediately knew the other party's identity.
Peng Jiahu, formerly Li Chengliang's most valiant general, was a warrior who had been the first to charge into battle more than a dozen times.
Seeing Peng Jianghu gradually approaching him, Zhao Shuaizhen also drew the sword from his waist.
His lieutenant, Yuan Wenzong, picked up his spear and said:
"General, retreat first. Leave this to me. I will hold him off."
Zhao Shuaizhen looked at Yuan Wenzong and immediately refused:
"This is my banner, and I shall stand with it."
"General, you must not make any mistakes. Jizhou cannot be without you. You still have to lead the army to take Jizhou back from the Tartars."
As Yuan Wenzong spoke, he glanced at the generals around him, who, understanding his meaning, helped Zhao Shuaizhen away into the distance.
Yuan Wenzong was left behind to hold off Peng Jiahu, who had gone berserk.
After Peng Jiahu rushed to the front of the commander's flag, he saw Yuan Wenzong, whose armor was different from the others, and immediately mistook him for Zhao Shuaizhen.
It was as if I could immediately see an enormous achievement there.
It should be noted that Zhao Shuaizhen was a border governor-general of the same rank as his former superior, Li Chengliang.
He immediately rode his horse, covered in blood, and charged forward, brandishing a spear with two corpses hanging from it, and thrust it at Yuan Wenzong.
Faced with Peng Jianghu's all-out attack, Yuan Wenzong was stabbed to death by the spear.
Before closing his eyes, Yuan Wenzong looked at Peng Jiahu, who was as ferocious as a beast, and sighed in his heart.
I believe that as a general defending against barbarians, even if I die in battle, I will die at the hands of barbarians.
After killing Yuan Wenzong, Peng Jiahu carried Yuan Wenzong's body and charged towards the commander's flag, shouting:
"Zhao Shuaizhen is dead!"
The cavalrymen following behind Peng Jiahu immediately began shouting.
"Zhao Shuaizhen is dead."
The news immediately began to spread among the army.
After rushing to the front of the commander's flag, Peng Jiahu drew his sword from his waist and slashed at the flag.
As the commander's flag was cut down, some soldiers began shouting that their commander, Zhao Shuaizhen, was dead.
The entire army immediately became unstable and began to collapse.
As Zhao Shuaizhen was carried away by his generals, he looked at Yuan Wenzong, who had been stabbed to death by Peng Jiahu, and felt heartbroken.
Immediately shout to those around you:
"I am Zhao Shuaizhen, and I'm still here."
But no matter how loudly Zhao Shuzhen shouted, it was no use; only a small group of people around him could hear his voice.
As news of Zhao Shuaizhen's death began to spread in the army, more importantly, the commander's flag was also cut down.
This further corroborates the news of Zhao Shuaizhen's death.
Immediately, the morale of the Jizhou garrison army, which was originally still able to fight, plummeted and began to collapse.
Just as Zhao Shuzhen was shouting that he was still alive, a scene that made him utterly despairing appeared.
Li Qin finally arrived at the battlefield with the majority of the Liaodong army.
They saw the Jizhou garrison army in a state of low morale, with its commander's flag cut down and even some soldiers fleeing.
Li Qin immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Then, holding his spear, he pointed it at the Jizhou garrison army that was beginning to rout and said:
"The Ji army has been defeated; the entire army is now attacking."
As he spoke, he rode ahead on horseback, while Qi Duchen immediately led his personal guards to protect Li Qin on either side.
Immediately afterwards, the most elite and best-equipped personal guards of the eight thousand Liaodong troops, led by Li Qin, along with the majority of the Liaodong army, numbering nearly one hundred thousand.
It pressed down on the already collapsing Jizhou garrison like a mountain crashing down.
With the entry of Li Qin's army, it finally broke the camel's back, like the last straw.
The army of Jizhou finally began to suffer a complete defeat.
They no longer cared about military flags or formations; everyone had only one thought at that moment.
That's an animal's instinct: I want to survive.
In an attempt to survive, countless soldiers of the Jizhou garrison began trampling each other, resulting in massive casualties.
Those soldiers who tried to resist were scattered or swept away by the fleeing soldiers.
At this moment, Zhao Shuaizhen, who was in the army, was heartbroken as he looked at the scattered soldiers and wanted to reorganize the army once again.
But that's no longer possible.
He knew that once the army began to collapse, it would be irreversible.
The morale of the entire Jizhou garrison army has completely collapsed.
He was powerless to do anything.
With the collapse of the Jizhou garrison, they were no longer able to inflict any effective damage on Li Qin's Liaodong army.
Immediately, the Liaodong army began a massive manhunt and search across the mountains and plains for the routed Jizhou garrison.
Countless soldiers of Jizhou, unable to escape, seeing that they had no way out, began to lay down their weapons and kneel down to surrender.
Under the pursuit of tens of thousands of Li Qin's cavalry and the close pressure from tens of thousands of soldiers behind them, most of the fleeing Jizhou soldiers did not escape.
The outcome is decided.
Li Qin stood on a small hillside, watching the soldiers below who were cleaning up the battlefield.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The town of Ji, which he had always regarded as a major enemy, was finally destroyed.
He fought with all his might in this battle, personally leading his troops in a charge for a complete victory.
Although he charged for a while before being surrounded and protected by Qi Duchen and his thousands of retainers, he had truly experienced the clash of swords and the shadows of battle.
His armor was now splattered with blood of unknown origin.
The cold armor suddenly exuded a more sinister aura.
Meanwhile, Peng Jiahu, who had made the greatest contribution to the battle, walked over with a smile on his face, carrying Yuan Wenzong's head, and said:
"Hahaha! I've taken over! I, Lao Peng, am back."
Li Qin looked at Peng Jiahu, who was soaked in blood. His armor was tattered and his face had several wounds.
Several arrows were embedded inside the armor, clearly having penetrated it but been blocked by the inner armor.
At this moment, Peng Jiahu was carrying a severed head, covered in blood, with several arrows stuck in his body.
What was most terrifying was that he laughed as he held up the dripping head.
They looked like demons that had crawled out of hell.
Li Qin was also extremely shocked when he saw Peng Jiahu's appearance. He truly lived up to his reputation as the number one fierce general.
This guy is a real tiger when he fights; he's really fierce.
It was a relentless, all-out attack.
Li Qin looked at Peng Jiahu, who was carrying a severed head, and immediately asked:
"General Peng, are you alright?"
Peng Jiahu shook his head and said, "Hey, these guys can't hurt me."
"That's good. But you're really bold to directly charge the Ji army, the elite army of the imperial court."
You're truly a tiger! You really deserve to be called a valiant general!
As Li Qin spoke with emotion, he patted Peng Jiahu on the shoulder.
