Chapter 280: Big Victory! (End)
The young general who had seen Li Yixin's sinister intention in taking out the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" in Prince Qi's hall earlier had a flash of light in his eyes, and was not at all surprised that Prince Qi was betrayed and that the Tiger King's army had already prepared for retreat.
In other words, all of this was within his expectations, from the moment Prince Qi placed all his hopes for Qizhou on an outsider.
The tragedy of Qi Jun and even Qizhou was already doomed.
"The outcome of this gamble was doomed from the beginning."
He sighed inwardly but did not show it.
With the deployment of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Might Formation" and the approach of the Tiger King's army, the defeat of the Qi army gradually became apparent.
And he, as if he had expected it, seemed unusually calm in this defeat.
Quietly blend into the fleeing soldiers and follow the flow of people.
They retreated calmly towards the retreat route planned by Li Yixin for the Tiger King's army.
Although his steps were fast, each step was firm and steady.
Although there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, he remained calm and composed.
"Tiger King?"
He murmured softly, his eyes flashing with anticipation and curiosity.
There were a thousand thoughts in his mind, but the young man's steps did not slow down at all.
"See what happens!"
There was only a whisper in the wind.
As Prince Qi was captured alive by Baihu, the surrounding Qi army suddenly fell into unprecedented chaos and panic.
Originally the pillar in their hearts, their king.
Now they had become prisoners of the enemy, and their morale instantly plummeted to the bottom.
Immediately afterwards, Baihu joined forces with the Baima Yicong who suddenly appeared.
They jointly activated the Dharma image, a dragon and a tiger joined forces, and looked down on everyone in the "Dragon and Snake Heavenly Power Formation".
The already shaken Qi army was completely dispersed.
What's worse, the Tiger King army, which was originally in the rear, suddenly chose to retreat.
This move was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Qi Jun.
They had originally hoped that the Tiger King's army would come to support them and turn the tide of the war, but reality dealt them a heavy blow.
The retreating Tiger King army left the Qi army isolated and helpless.
The fear and despair in the hearts of many Qi soldiers surged like a tide.
At the same time, the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation", which had already been besieged by Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong and other armies, was on the verge of collapse.
This move was undoubtedly another heavy blow to Qi's army.
The "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation" that was originally placed with high hopes.
Under the fierce attack of several armies including Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong.
It has long been apparent that it is unable to cope with the situation and is on the verge of collapse.
The retreat of the Tiger King's army caused the formation to lose its last support and it collapsed instantly.
And on the military commander's platform in the distance of Cangzhou Army, Li Jing was watching the development of the battle with keen eyes.
He saw the chaos and defeat of the Qi army, but also saw the dawn of victory.
"The whole army is pressing forward!"
He waved the flag in his hand without hesitation.
As the command flag was waved, the entire Cangzhou army rushed forward like a tiger out of a cage, and launched a massive hunt on the Qizhou army.
The Cangzhou army, advancing in several directions, was in high spirits and fought bravely to be the first.
The Qi army fell into unprecedented panic and despair.
They fled everywhere, trying to avoid pursuit by the Cangzhou army.
The battlefield was filled with the scattered figures of the Qizhou army and soldiers who had abandoned their weapons and armor.
Their originally neat and orderly military formation was now gone, replaced by chaos and disorder. The Cangzhou army was chasing them relentlessly, not giving the Qi army any chance to breathe.
There is no suspense in this battle anymore, and the defeat of the Qi army is a foregone conclusion.
The Cangzhou army became more and more courageous as the battle went on. They pursued the victory and continuously expanded their results.
The soldiers waved their weapons and shouted loudly, which frightened the enemy.
At this moment, Prince Qi was tied up and watched his army being defeated. His heart was filled with helplessness and regret.
He knew he had made a serious mistake that led to this catastrophic failure.
However, time cannot be reversed and he cannot undo all this.
As the battle progressed, the Qi army's collapse became more and more serious.
Sporadic attempts by Qizhou generals to organize effective resistance were made.
But faced with the fierce attack of the Cangzhou army and the panic and despair in the hearts of the soldiers.
Their efforts seemed so pale and powerless.
In the end, under the fierce pursuit of the Cangzhou army, the Qizhou army completely collapsed.
The soldiers surrendered or fled one after another, and the entire Qi army camp fell into chaos and disorder.
The entire battlefield was littered with weapons and armor discarded by the Qizhou army, as well as the figures of soldiers fleeing everywhere.
With the collapse of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Power Formation", Qizhou's last bit of resistance instantly collapsed.
The Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, which had accumulated strength for a hundred years, was completely wiped out on this battlefield, and not even a single soldier escaped.
Prince Qi, the prince of Dayong who once stirred up trouble in the territory of Dayong Dynasty.
At this moment, he was tied up tightly with ropes and became a prisoner of the Cangzhou Army. His eyes flashed with humiliation and unwillingness, but more of it was helplessness and despair.
The last bit of resistance in Qizhou disappeared with his capture, and the entire Qizhou completely lost its last barrier.
The Cangzhou army led by Li Jing took the opportunity to occupy Qizhou's capital, Anyuan Prefecture, Qi Wang City.
But Li Jing was not satisfied with this. He used the captured King Qi to convey his will to the counties of Qizhou.
The news spread throughout Qizhou like wildfire.
Except for a few forces that tried to resist.
In the end, they were annihilated by the White Horse Volunteers and White Tiger Cavalry sent by Li Jing.
The remaining counties in Qizhou chose to surrender one after another.
The officials and people of these counties knew that resistance was meaningless.
Li Jing used a variety of means to conquer these remaining counties.
First, envoys were sent to various counties to lobby and explain to them the benefits and advantages of surrender.
Promise to protect the lives and property of the people, maintain social order, and give certain preferential treatment and respect to those who surrender.
These promises are undoubtedly extremely tempting to those wavering forces.
At the same time, use military means to deter and strike.
He sent out elite White Horse Volunteers and White Tiger Cavalry to brutally suppress those forces that refused to surrender.
These elite cavalry units shuttled across the land of Qizhou like lightning.
Their arrival often means a bloody massacre and plunder.
Li Jing used ruthless force to suppress those remnants of Qizhou who were still hoping for the best and refused to surrender.
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to those forces that are hoping for the best.
Li Jing's strategy was very clear: to demonstrate his strong military power through swift and decisive military action and force the remaining forces to realize that resistance was futile.
This iron-fisted policy soon achieved remarkable results.
Faced with such strong military pressure, the remaining forces in Qizhou and the remaining counties chose to surrender one after another.
