Chapter 146 Siege
After two moves solved Gu Dingfeng, Zhao Yun had no slight pride on his face. He danced his spear and immediately rushed over. He shouted loudly at the tens of thousands of enemy troops rushing over: "You are dead, and you can't quickly put down your weapons and surrender. If you resist and escape, you will be killed without mercy."
Zhao Yun's aura was very strong, like the storm. Although he was only one person, he was still not afraid of tens of thousands of enemy troops. He was very powerful that he could not escape the enemy.
Gao Shun, who was behind, was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Yun killing Gu Dingfeng with two moves. However, when he saw Zhao Yun face the enemy's tens of thousands of troops, he was afraid of making mistakes, so he rushed up to support him with his soldiers.
The enemy soldiers who fled around were chased by tigers in front and wolves in the back. In the end, many people chose to surrender. As for those who were still resisting, they were all killed by Zhang Liao who had come from behind.
The one-sided massacre lasted until half a night. The entire Shanyue Grand Canyon was in a mess, with corpses intersecting the ground, and a strong smell of blood floated throughout the canyon.
After the battle, Zhang Liao immediately ordered the treatment of the wounded, cleaned the battlefield, piled up all the enemy's corpses, poured tinder oil and started to burn it. Of course, when it was burned, there would occasionally be a few screams of undead people from the pile of corpses.
In today's battle, Zhang Liao and his team won the entire enemy's southern army in one fell swoop. The enemy's commander was killed, with more than 100,000 soldiers injured. In dealing with the large number of injured soldiers of the enemy, Zhang Liao sought the opinions of Gao Shun and Zhao Yun. Finally, he made a ruthless decision. Those seriously injured and unable to walk were killed. Some slightly injured enemy soldiers were escorted by the army and left the Shanyue Grand Canyon by the army. Zhang Liao and his team's next goal was to rush to Lieyang City and support Xiao Tianci and others.
However, Prince Jingchou led an army of 400,000 to enter Shanyuezhou. After a few days, he set up several cities in a row. He had almost no resistance, which made Prince Jingchou feel full of confidence and wished he could kill to the Xingye City of Qingzhou immediately, and captured the abominable Xiao Tianci and dismembered the body, Yixue's hatred.
After leaving tens of thousands of troops to guard the captured city, Prince Jingchou took the remaining 300,000 soldiers to the road again. They left Shanyuezhou overnight and entered the territory of Tianqingzhou, and headed straight for the Lieyan City, the nearest city in Tianqingzhou.
Three days later, this army appeared several miles outside the city of Lieyan. Prince Jingchou did not let the soldiers stay and went to attack the city directly. Perhaps it was too smooth during this period. He thought that Lieyan City would definitely think of the cities in Shanyuezhou, and opened the door to surrender with a little attack, so he didn't care much about this big city. What he thought about now was just to arrive at the Starry Night City as soon as possible.
"Senior brother, I think it's better to let the soldiers rest? If they have been rushing for three consecutive days, they will attack the city immediately. I'm afraid that the soldiers below will not be able to stand it." The junior brother Mu also ran over with Prince Jingchou this time. His name was Mu Guilong. He was the son of Mu Chengfeng, the Grand Marshal of Tianchen Kingdom. This time the two countries jointly sent troops. He also asked his father for a long time before he was allowed to follow Prince Jingchou to lead the army.
As a child who has lived in a military family for a long time, Mu Guilong still knows some basic military common sense. When he saw the army marched for several days, Prince Jingchou couldn't wait to attack the city. This was a taboo and couldn't help but frown and said.
After hearing this, Prince Jingchou waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Isn't it just like this when I attacked the city a few days ago? I said it was an attack. I was scaring these people and opened the door and surrendered."
"That's right, I think the people in Tianfeng Kingdom are just like this. They surrender faster than anyone else, so there is nothing to worry about." The junior brother Chen on the side took it over.
Seeing the two of them say this, Mu Guilong didn't want to say anything more. He squirmed for a few times and did not speak again.
Xiao Tianci, Dian Wei, and Pang De stood on the high city wall and looked at the enemy troops lined up below. Xiao Tianci grinned and pointed at the bottom and laughed: "I think my Tianqingzhou is the Shanyuezhou? I wanted to attack the city immediately after the first arrival. Humph, let's see how they die this time."
"The lord is right. The enemy general did commit a taboo in marching and fighting. When he came from afar, the soldiers were already exhausted and were not familiar with the situation. He dared to attack the entire army, and he was indeed seeking death." Pang De nodded repeatedly, his tone full of disdain.
"Haha, Ling Ming, let me leave the battle to you later. I don't care about how to command it. I just want to be the result. I will win and not lose this battle." Xiao Tianci turned his head and looked at Pang De, and said with a smile.
"Yes, lord." Pang De responded proudly, too. If even such a unit that was obviously a novice could not handle it, Pang De would be shameless to face everyone again.
Next, when the army formed a formation, Xinghe Jingchou waved his hand directly and shouted loudly: "Everyone obeys the order and attacks the city!"
“Woooooo~”
The sound of desolate horns sounded, and the shield-held infantry rushed over with sharp shields. Behind them were simple ladders made of wood and hemp ropes. The soldiers who were swarming in were as dense as ants, all over the mountains and fields.
Pang De's eyes condensed, and slowly stretched out his right hand. Behind him were several rows of archers holding longbows. After seeing Pang De's movements, these archers raised their longbows, reached a forty-five degrees to the sky, and drew out long arrows, pulling all the bowstrings.
"Let go!" After the enemy below approached, Pang De waved his right hand and said the word "Let go" coldly in his mouth.
I heard a sound of "Swish!". Countless long arrows were shot out, and a beautiful parabola was drawn in the air, and finally fell heavily into the crowd below.
"Ah! Ah!"
The sudden arrow caused all the soldiers below who were not prepared to be at all. They immediately screamed and fell to the ground like seedlings. In an instant, a large area of open space was empty among the dense crowd below. Only the shield soldiers who rushed in the front quickly raised the shield to the top of their heads to block the arrows shot. Many survived. However, when these people saw the large corpse falling behind them, they were both scared and glad. But they could no longer have the idea of siege, and they retreated back with their shields.
Xiao Tianci and the others stood on the city wall coldly, looking at the tragic phenomenon below without any sympathy. He has experienced many battles over the past few years. Which battle did not make the corpse and blood? His heart was already cold. Moreover, if the guys below really came into the city, I am afraid that all the guards in their city would end up in a good way. This Prince Jingchou is a famous ruthless person.
"Bastard, why are you going to retreat? Just push me all." Prince Jingchou, who was standing behind, had just smiled and had a very bright face, and suddenly he looked at the rain of arrows shooting from his opponent's city walls, and a large area where the soldiers on his side fell in a blink of an eye. Prince Jingchou, who had been smooth sailing, was angry and threw the whip in his hand to the ground and shouted: "Don't retreat, push me all, and then retreated. If you want to deal with the military law."
Standing beside Xinghe Jingchou, Mu Guilong, who looked worried when he saw this situation, quickly stepped forward and said to Xinghe Jingchou two steps: "Senior brother, you can't continue to fight anymore. Let's retreat temporarily. The guards of the Flame City have obviously made sufficient preparations. We do not have any special siege equipment. It is difficult to break through the enemy's rain of arrows and rush to the city with some simple ladders."
The situation on the field is indeed the case. These soldiers who rushed over have been used to it during this period. When they attacked the cities of Shuanglingzhou and Shanyuezhou, they did not charge each other and surrendered automatically. However, they didn't expect that they would really encounter resistance today. The resistance was so strong that they knocked down so many of them in one encounter. The morale of these soldiers siege the city dropped sharply and were even more scared. When they retreated, they wanted to have more legs so that they could run faster.
Xinghe Jingchou calmed down at this moment, and he also understood that what Mu Guilong said was correct, but he really couldn't swallow this breath. He lost no less than thousands of people in one meeting. This was definitely the most lost since the war started. How could Xinghe Jingchou, who was originally extremely proud, accept it?
But no matter how unwilling to give up, what's the use of not being able to swallow his breath? He couldn't watch the soldiers lose their lives in vain, so he had to wave his hand and signal the messenger to order the official to withdraw the troops. Seeing Xinghe Jingchou's appearance, Mu Guilong was a little worried and hurriedly comforted him: "Senior brother doesn't have to do this, but he's just a small defeat. Let's set up the soldiers below first. Let's understand the situation of this Fiery City after a good idea. After all, we have a total of 400,000 troops, but the attack was a bit too urgent. When we settle down next time, we will definitely be able to take down this city."
"Hmph!" After hearing Mu Guilong's words, Xinghe Jingchou's face became even more ugly. He snorted coldly, then turned around, walked directly to the car parked behind him, in front of an extremely luxurious carriage, and turned over and turned in.
Mu Guilong shook his head helplessly. He knew that this senior brother never suffered any loss, and he could not accept the setback at all. He had to smile and ask the messenger to withdraw the troops and inform the large army to set up camp. Today, the attack was temporarily suspended. He heard the order, the messenger exhaled and hurried to send the order. He had been here just now, and was afraid that the prince would order to continue the attack. Fortunately, there were still people who were awake. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
