Chapter 377: The Defeat of the Five Northern Army Battalions

With Ye Ziming's troops defecting, the formation of the Northern Army's five battalions became completely disrupted.

Looking at this scene, King Huai'an was stunned.

He didn't expect that Ye Ziming did not choose to rebel when he was in Shanhaiguan.

But at this critical moment, he chose to betray!

Faced with this sudden change, the other soldiers of the entire Northern Army's Fifth Battalion became panicked.

For a moment, the soldiers of the Five Battalions of the Northern Army, who had been able to fight against Jiang Chen's Northern Army for a while, completely lost their fighting spirit.

The commanders of the Blue Camp and the White Camp who were following King Huai'an saw Ye Ziming's troops charging towards King Huai'an.

He resolutely took hundreds of his personal soldiers to protect Prince Huai'an and retreated to the fortifications.

Jiang Chen was also a little confused when he saw Ye Ziming's troops suddenly turning against him in the battle .

He had never expected that Ye Ziming, the person who had previously refused to join him.

He actually made an astonishing choice at this critical moment.

However, Jiang Chen was not too surprised, he was just stunned for a moment.

He then led Prime Minister Huo and 20,000 cavalrymen from the Shenshu Camp behind him and continued to charge towards the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.

After just one charge, the 30,000 demoralized infantrymen from the five battalions of the Northern Army were scattered.

Looking at the soldiers of the five battalions of the Northern Army fleeing in all directions, the King of Huainan, who was protected by the two commanders and fled to the fortifications, could not help but shed two lines of tears.

"These are all the sons of my Xia country. They are all because of my fault."

"They will all die here now. This king is guilty!"

"This king is guilty..."

While crying, Prince Huai'an reined in his warhorse with tears streaming down his face, then dismounted and knelt on the ground.

The leaders of the Blue Camp and the White Camp nearby looked at this and tried to persuade him anxiously.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to feel sad for these soldiers!"

"The Northern Army and the traitor Ye Ziming are about to catch up."

"If we don't leave now, we won't have a chance!"

Under the earnest pleas of the two commanders, King Huai'an finally came to his senses.

Then the two commanders got back on their mounts and rode towards the fortifications.

The fortifications were built by the Prince of Huai'an with two days of hard work.

The traps in this small fortress are enough to stop Jiang Chen's northern army.

Create time and opportunities for Prince Huai'an and others to escape back to the capital.

Seeing Prince Huai'an's troops fleeing into the fortifications , Jiang Chen was about to chase after them.

Ye Ziming, who was standing by, rode over on his horse and blocked Jiang Chen's way.

Jiang Chen looked at Ye Ziming with some confusion and asked slowly.

"Ye Ziming, why are you blocking my way?"

In response to Jiang Chen's question, Ye Ziming bowed and answered Jiang Chen on horseback.

"My Lord, the King of Huai'an has already set up numerous traps in the fortifications ahead."

"If the Marquis rushes in like this, I'm afraid he will just fall into their trap."

"So I dare to ask you, my Lord, to stay out of here for now!"

After hearing Ye Ziming's answer, Jiang Chen finally understood.

After looking at Ye Ziming with some gratitude, Jiang Chen spoke to him slowly.

"Ye Ziming, you did a great job !"

"I will remember your kindness today, don't worry."

After hearing that Jiang Chen remembered his favor of helping him, Ye Ziming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that Jiang Chen would do this because of what happened to him in Shanhaiguan.

He was therefore outraged at himself, so Ye Ziming had the guts to ride forward.

I thought about giving it a try and see if I can take advantage of this opportunity.

Having gained Jiang Chen's understanding and forgiveness, things are now developing according to his wishes.

For a moment, Ye Ziming's heart was filled with joy.

And after seeing King Huai'an abandon him and others and flee back to the fortifications.

Qi Junyuan, the commander of the Huangzi Camp, chose to surrender with his remaining 5,000-plus subordinates.

As for the loss of more than 4,000 subordinates, it was because of the loss in the recent battle.

After just one charge, I don't know what happened.

The 15,000 infantrymen led by Du Mingyu suddenly broke their formation.

Then, a thousand people appeared, holding heavy swords with extremely wide blades.

Looking at this strange-looking weapon, Qi Junyuan didn't take it seriously at first.

But when they rushed to Du Mingyu's troops, they realized the horror of this weapon!

When a group of cavalrymen from the Yellow Camp rushed to the group of Northern infantrymen holding strange heavy swords.

Before they could come to their senses, they felt the mounts under their crotch suddenly stop.

Immediately afterwards, their figures were thrown out.

Faced with such an incredible scene, Qi Junyuan was stunned.

When he saw that his subordinates had lost almost half of their numbers.

Qi Junyuan finally came to his senses and chose to surrender.

Only in this way was he able to save only half of the soldiers in the Yellow Camp who were left under his command!

After this war of fifty thousand against fifty thousand is over.

The Northern Army counted the casualties and found that only one person was slightly injured!

Let’s look at the 50,000 soldiers from the five battalions of the Northern Army led by Prince Huai’an.

Ten thousand soldiers of the Deficit Camp defected in front of the battle, while the Yellow Camp lost half of its soldiers under the charge of the Northern Border Infantry under Jiang Chen.

Most of the infantrymen from the other three camps died under the trampling of the iron cavalry from the Shenshu Camp under Jiang Chen's command.

Finally, the five battalions of Northern Army soldiers followed Prince Huai'an and withdrew to the fortifications.

There are only a few thousand people under the White Camp and the Blue Camp!

The Gray Camp is located in the center of the five camps of the Northern Army.

The infantrymen close to the Deficit Camp were all annihilated by their own people who turned against them in front of the battle line.

King Huai'an had not expected such a battle situation.

After returning to the fortifications, Prince Huai'an sat there in shock.

He was breathing heavily, recalling the details of the war that had just taken place in his mind.

When King Huai'an thought of Ye Ziming's sudden betrayal, his face turned ugly.

"Ye Ziming...you traitor!"

"I really didn't expect this. You are so loyal."

"You actually chose to betray me and Daxia!"
