Chapter 679: The entire army is annihilated! Zhi Wei has been captured!
Note: The first release of the month, over four thousand words, begs for minimum monthly votes and support, thank you, everyone!
...
Zhi Wei’s army had first suffered a crushing defeat, losing more than eighty thousand men in just a few short hours, leaving only over sixty thousand of the original army of one hundred and fifty thousand.
Next, the bridge over the Tianshui River behind the army was destroyed, cutting off their retreat.
Then, the army’s supplies were burned.
Finally, Suo Lun’s Gryphon Cavalry conducted relentless air raids for four days and nights, preventing the surviving fifty thousand troops from sleeping the entire time.
Mentally exhausted to the extreme and physically on the verge of collapse, their morale had completely shattered.
Then, Suo Lun abruptly unleashed twenty-five thousand well-rested, ferociously spirited Cavalry, charging into Zhi Wei’s encampment!
Despite facing an opposing force of over fifty thousand.
One side, however, had been resting for more than ten days, full of fighting spirit, abundant energy, and strong soldiers and horses.
While the other side, although numbering over fifty thousand, was extremely exhausted, dispirited, and had not slept well for four days and nights, staggering even while standing.
