Chapter 359 Ambush, great victory, no surrender accepted!

In the blink of an eye, Wei Xu and Ying Bu rushed over like lightning and rushed in front of each other in an instant. Ying Bu swung the gleaming spear in his hand violently, with a sharp sound of wind, and swept it horizontally at an astonishing speed. Such a swift attack forced Wei Xu to raise his weapon and fight back hastily.

"Ding..." With a very crisp collision sound, Wei Xu's face suddenly changed. He clearly felt the huge power coming from the gun, which was beyond imagination and far exceeded his own strength. What's worse, Wei Xu was already seriously injured at the moment. Under the impact of this powerful force, even the weapon in his hand was almost shaken out of his hand.

"I will kill you!" With just one move, Ying Bu knew that the opponent's general was just a spent force and was no match for him at all. He shouted loudly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Xu could not help but panic, but Ying Bu did not give him a chance to breathe, and continued to launch a fierce attack. The spear in Ying Bu's hand was like a dancing snake, trembling constantly, and stabbed and poked at Wei Xu again and again. Facing this continuous attack like a storm, Wei Xu knew that he was not a match for the brave and fierce general in front of him, not to mention that he was seriously injured now. So he made a quick decision and turned his horse's head without hesitation, trying to take the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.

But at this moment, how could Ying Bu let Wei Xu go easily? You know, this is a great opportunity for him to establish his illustrious military exploits and become famous! At this moment, such a great opportunity is right in front of him, and he naturally can't just watch Wei Xu escape. In a flash, Ying Bu immediately spurred his horse to speed up and chased after Wei Xu. Just when everyone thought that the chase was about to end, an unexpected scene happened-Wei Xu suddenly turned around and swung a knife with great force, the knife flashed, the chill was pressing, and went straight to Ying Bu's vitals.

This sudden scene made Ying Bu's heart suddenly tighten, and his muscles tensed instantly, and he leaned back reflexively. In a flash, the extremely sharp blade came towards Ying Bu with a sharp sound of wind. At this critical moment, Ying Bu relied on his agility and extraordinary reaction ability to avoid this fatal blow.

There was a sharp and piercing friction sound, and the long sword in Wei Xu's hand actually slashed across Ying Bu's chest, splashing a series of dazzling sparks! If it weren't for the fact that the armor Ying Bu was wearing was a top-grade battle armor from the southern border, with extraordinary toughness and protection, I'm afraid that just this one blow would not kill Ying Bu on the spot, but at least it would seriously injure him, and completely lose the ability to continue fighting.

At this moment, Ying Bu secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time, he was full of gratitude for the armor that Gao Yao had rewarded him. He knew very well that if it weren't for this indestructible armor, his life would have been lost at this moment. And even if he was lucky enough to survive, in such a cruel and fierce battlefield, once he fell, there would be no possibility of getting up again. Because this is a battlefield of life and death, and there is no room for negligence or slackness.

Wei Xu, who witnessed this thrilling scene, felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar, and it chilled him to the bone in an instant. In fact, as early as when he knew that he was no match for Ying Bu, he had already secretly estimated the situation in his mind and roughly deduced various possible outcomes. After all, as a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles, how could Wei Xu not have some tricks and life-saving methods? During the Warring States Period, countless generals from the six countries were killed by relying on this trick. But who would have thought that he would stumble here today, and that he would stumble at this time. Wei Xu naturally knew what it meant.

At this moment, Ying Bu, who reacted quickly, suddenly turned the spear in his hand. In an instant, the spear was like a nimble dragon, pointing directly at Wei Xu's throat! With a chilling flash of cold light, a muffled sound of "Puchi" was heard, and the spear in Ying Bu's hand pierced Wei Xu's throat at lightning speed!

Then, there was another loud "thump...", and when Ying Bu quickly pulled back his spear, Wei Xu's body instantly lost support and fell straight off the horse's back. His body hit the ground with a dull sound, and then there was no more movement, and it was obvious that he had died.

In fact, Wei Xu had the opportunity to retreat, but he knew very well that if he fled like this, the losses would be extremely heavy. It might even lead to the loss of more than half of his 20,000 soldiers!

Since Wei Xu took the post of vanguard general, he has been advancing rapidly after successfully conquering Xia County. However, now that it has come to a critical moment, if he suffers such a major setback because of his own decision-making errors, this kind of failure is simply unbearable for Wei Xu. Therefore, after careful consideration, Wei Xu resolutely decided to give it a try, trying to turn the tide of the battle by killing Ying Bu and launching a desperate counterattack against the enemy. Only in this way can this battle not end in a disastrous defeat. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and in the end, he failed.

"The commander has already died in battle. Do you still want to resist? Put down your weapons immediately and surrender!"

Ying Bu's movements were as fast as lightning. He shouted at the top of his lungs, and his voice exploded like thunder on the battlefield, causing every enemy who heard it to tremble in their hearts. At the same time, the sharp blade in his hand did not stop at all. In a flash of cold light, he had directly killed several nearby flag soldiers. As several screams rang out, those bright flags fell one after another, and the most important general flag was also cut off by him with a clean sword.

You know, in this chaotic battlefield, cutting off the enemy's flag is tantamount to dealing a heavy blow to the enemy's morale, and the speed at which the news spread is beyond imagination. Although the imperial army at this moment is indeed an elite army, they first suffered a series of sneak attacks, and now saw the commander die tragically on the spot, and the army's morale was immediately in chaos. As a result, the situation of defeat was formed in an instant, and large groups of soldiers began to abandon their armor and flee in all directions.

Some people chose to kneel down and surrender, just to save their lives; some people fled desperately in panic, just hoping to stay away from this land of death; of course, there were also some brave and fearless people who would rather die on the battlefield than bow to the enemy.

In the original history, whether it was the killing of countless captives or the cruel murder of Chu Xiongxin, these actions were all done by Ying Bu. Facing the imperial army in front of him, he would naturally show no mercy. He was seen wielding a bloody sword, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the imperial army, and blood splattered everywhere and wailing was everywhere.

Ying Bu showed no mercy to the enemy troops who refused to surrender or those who had already surrendered. He issued orders without hesitation, and ordered his troops to start killing without hesitation, wanting to kill all the imperial soldiers. For a time, shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing resounded through the sky, and the bloody atmosphere filled the entire battlefield.

This fierce battle lasted from noon to dusk before it finally came to an end. After a whole day of fighting, although Ying Bu's army lost more than 3,000 soldiers, they also achieved brilliant results - killing more than 12,000 enemy soldiers. After this battle, the remaining soldiers who were lucky enough to escape back to the imperial army camp were probably only 5,000 at most.

At the same time, this battle was Ying Bu's first real achievement, and it made many of his soldiers convinced of him. After all, it was rare to achieve such an amazing record when the troops were at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the battle was over, Ying Bu made a prompt decision and ordered: "All troops, listen to my order, withdraw immediately and rush back to Long County at full speed. The reinforcements of the imperial army will arrive here soon. We must evacuate as soon as possible to avoid being attacked from both sides."

All the soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!" Then they quickly formed a team and galloped towards Long County in an orderly manner.

Almost at the same time, Li Xin had already led 10,000 troops from Yecheng and marched towards Long County. The purpose of their trip was clear, which was to reinforce the vanguard troops that had already rushed to the front line and strive to capture Long County as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, this huge army had only marched for half a day when Li Xin received a piece of bad news that made him feel heartbroken - the vanguard army encountered an enemy ambush, not only suffered heavy casualties, but even the leading general Wei Xu was killed tragically by the Southern Border Army!

Upon learning of this, Li Xin made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to set up camp on the spot. At the same time, he quickly dispatched several capable generals on fast horses to report this urgent military information to the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan who was still staying in Yecheng.

At this moment, Yi Xiaochuan in Yecheng was methodically dispatching more than ten elite masters, carefully planning a thrilling assassination operation. It turned out that he planned to let these people sneak into the army quietly, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and kill Li Xin in one fell swoop. In this way, it would be possible to prevent Li Xin's power from further expanding, so as to avoid more troubles that would be difficult to deal with in the future.

However, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was also a little annoyed at this time. He knew very well that the number of available people in his hands was getting fewer and fewer. In the previous series of fierce battles in the southern border, his own personnel suffered heavy losses. The thousands of men who had gone through untold hardships and carefully trained had now been mostly lost, and there were only a few left.
