Chapter 274 Shooting the General's Head Amidst a Sea of ​​Troops

Lu Fengnian looked into the distance and saw a young figure riding a white horse and wearing a white robe under the banner of the Great Zhou army. It was Li Chengqian.

His cavalry were continuously charging into the left flank of Daqing's army formation, but Daqing's central army remained completely still, with its banner standing firmly in the very center.

This situation made Li Chengqian somewhat anxious and uneasy.

If it were Li Xuanfeng, or any other experienced general from the Great Zhou, they would certainly have acted cautiously. While they might not have immediately withdrawn their troops, they would not have continued to deploy their cavalry to the left flank of the Great Qing army.

But Li Chengqian was too eager to win, too eager to make a name for himself and achieve great things. He not only continued to send troops to the left side of the battlefield, but also mobilized some of the Great Zhou soldiers who were originally charging forward to turn around and move to the left flank.

Time passed slowly, and about fifteen minutes later...

The Daqing army has completely stabilized its position, and Zhao Beiwang has already mobilized his troops to move to the left flank, intending to cut off and surround the Da Zhou soldiers who have broken into the left flank of the army.

Li Chengqian saw the situation on the battlefield, but still did not choose to retreat.

Instead, he ordered his personal guards to beat drums and signal with flags.

At this moment, the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army, which had originally scattered and fled, regrouped and joined forces with the Da Zhou army to launch an attack on the Da Qing army formation.

General Gao Dehai, the guerrilla general of the Third Battalion of the Zhenxi Army, and General Wu Feng, the guerrilla general of the Fourth Battalion, charged ahead on horseback, followed closely by their subordinate centurions and platoon leaders.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Beiwang gritted his teeth in anger and roared and cursed repeatedly.

However, on a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people were fighting, his voice was insignificant.

With the arrival of the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army, the pressure on the left flank of the Daqing Army formation increased significantly.

Just then, on a small hill on the battlefield, someone stood up and took out a black longbow; it was Lu Fengnian.

At the foot of the mountain, Gao Dehai and Wu Feng were directing their men to launch an attack on the lines of the First Battalion of the Zhenxi Army.

Lu Fengnian's gaze was fixed on Gao Dehai and Wu Feng, but he did not rush to make a move.

The two people were still quite far away from him, about a hundred feet away.

At this distance, Lu Fengnian was not confident he could kill the two men; his current accurate shooting distance was ninety-five zhang.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

If Gao Dehai and Wu Feng are shot and killed, the third and fourth battalions of the Zhenxi Army will be leaderless and will inevitably fall into chaos.

However, both of them were heavily guarded.

Lu Fengnian only has one chance to make a move. If he cannot kill them in one shot, he will have to wait for their guards to get into position.

Killing them again would be much more difficult.

So Lu Fengnian held his breath and waited patiently.

……

Time passed slowly, and with the help of the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army, the Great Zhou soldiers began to break through the defensive line of the First Battalion of the Zhenxi Army little by little and slowly advanced.

Liu Zhenting was able to challenge Zhao Beiwang because of the Zhenxi Army under his command.

The fighting strength of the Zhenxi Army should not be underestimated.

In addition, the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army, who were comrades-in-arms before, were extremely familiar with the First Battalion. As soon as they joined the battle, they targeted the weaknesses of the First Battalion, which was very effective and put great pressure on the First Battalion.

One moment they were comrades fighting side by side, the next they were facing each other with swords drawn.

The soldiers of the First Battalion of the Zhenxi Army fought while cursing angrily.

They denounced the Third and Fourth Battalions as traitors, collaborators, and rebels.

In the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army, the only ones who truly betrayed the cause were the senior officers and their confidants, as well as some soldiers.

A significant number of people were completely unaware of the situation; however, they were caught up in the prevailing trend and had no choice in the matter.

Faced with the shouts and curses of the soldiers of the First Battalion, many soldiers of the Third and Fourth Battalions felt ashamed and their fighting spirit gradually waned.

Just then, surrounded by his personal guards, Gao Dehai moved forward while shouting loudly, "Brothers, ever since Zhao Beiwang came to Shiyang Pass, the days of our Zhenxi Army have been getting worse and worse."

The silver that originally belonged to our Zhenxi Army ended up in Zhao Beiwang's pocket and in the pocket of the Black Wind Army.

Today, we have killed Zhao Beiwang, and Shiyang Pass will return to the hands of our Zhenxi Army.

Moreover, the area three hundred li east of Shiyang Pass will become the territory of our Zhenxi Army.

In this battle, as long as you fight bravely and strive to be the best, you will all be able to get promoted and make a fortune!

Wu Feng followed closely behind, shouting loudly, "Brothers, let's take a gamble today and win wealth and a bright future!"

If not today, when?

On the other side of the First Battalion of the Zhenxi Army, Diao Zilong angrily shouted: "Gao Dehai, Wu Feng, you are dignified guerrilla generals, eating the salaries of our Daqing, yet you betray the court and point your swords at your own comrades."

Betraying faith and trust, betraying one's ancestors and forgetting virtue, worse than a beast, unforgivable by Heaven!

Gao Dehai laughed and said, "You surnamed Diao, how noble do you think you are? Just because you have a father-in-law who is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, you are arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone."

"If it weren't for your father-in-law backing you up, would you have survived to this day? And would you still be so arrogant?"

Wu Feng chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "Diao Zilong, back at Shiyang Pass, you were cold and sarcastic towards me, always putting on an air of superiority."

"Today, after I kill Zhao Beiwang, you'll be my next target. I'd like to see..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Feng's eyes widened and his voice abruptly stopped.

A metal arrow was embedded in his temple, spurting blood.

Then, with a thud, he fell off his horse.

At the same time, Gao Dehai, who was not far from him, also fell off his horse, with an iron arrow stuck in his temple.

The sudden and shocking turn of events stunned everyone present.

As Lu Fengnian predicted, after Gao Dehai and Wu Feng were shot dead, the offensive lines of the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army immediately came to a standstill and quickly fell into chaos.

Moreover, their disarray disrupted the Great Zhou cavalry's attack.

Amid the chaos, Wan Song, the commander of the third battalion of the Zhenxi Army, turned his gaze to the top of the small mountain, looking at Lu Fengnian with shock and resentment.

He never dreamed that Lu Fengnian would do something like this at this time.

At the same time, he realized that Lu Fengnian's previous behavior in front of him was all an act.

"Lu Fengnian, you just wait! Once I get through this, I'll make sure you suffer!"

Wan Song spoke out angrily.

He then pulled down his helmet and hid in the crowd, not daring to let Lu Fengnian see him.

He knew perfectly well that if Lu Fengnian saw him, he would definitely be punished with an arrow.

……

Diao Zilong seized this opportunity and immediately ordered his men to launch a counterattack against the Da Zhou army and the third and fourth battalions of the Zhenxi Army.

In this way, the situation immediately turned around.

The left flank of the Daqing army regained its footing and began to switch from defense to offense.

After killing Gao Dehai and Wu Feng, Lu Fengnian did not stop. He drew his longbow again and targeted the captains and centurions of the third and fourth battalions of the Zhenxi Army, as well as the senior generals of the Great Zhou.

In an instant, one iron arrow after another shot down from the distant mountain peaks, and one after another, the generals of the Zhenxi Army and the Great Zhou fell from their horses.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides who were fighting in the field finally realized where those arrows that shot enemy heads from among thousands of troops came from.

They all turned their heads and focused their gaze on the summit of the small mountain, specifically on Lu Fengnian.

Lu Fengnian remained calm, continuously nocking and drawing his bow. With each arrow he fired, an enemy general fell.
