Under Renqiu City, in the golden tent of King Yunyang, Lin De, the cavalry commander of the Guards, looked at his king and asked in confusion: His Majesty King, why don’t you let Beizheng attack?
It's Ah, the respected Your Majesty. A man standing next to Lin De also asked, "He is Lin Hua, the infantry commander of the Guards."
Now you just let the King of Zhenxi attack Renqiucheng, would you give the credit to them?
Looking at his two confidants who have been playing with since childhood, a mysterious smile appeared on the young face of King Yunyang. He shook his head and picked up a jade cup on the desk and started playing with it.
I was extremely confused by the actions of my lord. Lin De and Lin Hua looked at each other, and finally Lin De couldn't help but say again: Our guards have not made any contributions, and there is really no prestige in the army.
No! King Yunyang's face turned aside and said slowly: You are all wrong. I need you to preserve your strength by my side. Now is definitely not the time for you to go out.
Seeing that Lin De and Lin Hua still didn't understand, King Yunyang shook his head slightly. He knew that his two close friends were both good at martial arts skills, but when it comes to thinking, they were much worse.
Do you know how many troops Uncle Wang has in his hands? King Yunyang put down the jade cup in his hand and decided to enlighten his confidants.
From now on, he also needs these cronies to really contribute to himself
Five hundred thousand troops Lin Hua blurted out without thinking
Yes, do you know how many troops we in Yunyang have in total? King Yunyang nodded and continued to ask
More than 900,000 troops this time it was Linde's answer
Yes, there are only more than 900,000 troops in total, and Uncle Wang has 500,000 in his hands. More than half of the troops in the country are under his control! King Yunyang sighed softly and said: The remaining more than 400,000 troops are stationed on the border with Chu and Yue, while the other half are guarding against Ludian's army.
Speaking of this, a look of pain flowed out from King Yunyang's face: Do you know? All I can use is your guards, the dignified leader of a country, but only a 50,000 army!
Lin De and Lin Hua looked at each other. No matter how stupid they were, they could already see the angry flames in the heart of the young king and the unwilling ambition.
Do you know? Since I ascended the throne, I have never dared to take any action, because I am afraid of attracting Uncle Wang’s attention. He is an indelible shadow in my heart. Therefore, this time the dispatch of troops gave me a great opportunity. I must find a way to take the opportunity to take the military power from Uncle Wang to Yunyang, which is my country!
By the time of the last sentence, King Yunyang's words had become extremely harsh
Lin De and Lin Hua immediately fell to their lords
So, I need your help, let Uncle Wang’s army consume it for a while now! Just show the strength of our guards in important battles and let the soldiers know our strength.
King Yunyang pulled Lin De and Lin Hua with both hands, looked at them and said in a deep voice: Whether it is Qin Zhongda or Chifeng Legion, they are all the powerful minions of Uncle Wang, you must remember!
Yes! Lin De and Lin Hua knelt down again, bowed to their king, and sweared loyalty
※※※
Yunyang's army attacked for five consecutive days, but Ren Qiucheng was not captured, but instead lost a lot of troops. This situation made King Yunyang furious in the big tent.
Tomorrow, I will supervise the battle myself and must capture Ren Qiucheng! He scolded his generals. Finally, the young King Yunyang said to his generals like this.
The battle is dangerous, His Majesty the King should not take risks in person...
Lin Hong, the commander of the Red Front Legion, knelt down on the ground and spoke to his king.
But his words were exchanged for King Yunyang's flat rejection
How can our Yunyang army be blocked by such a small city in front of us? You are not in good condition. Now you have removed your position as general of the Corps and I will personally command the Third Corps tomorrow!
After saying that, the young king shook his hand and left the generals in the tent looking at each other. No one noticed that at this time, the sneering sneer and the light in his eyes appeared slightly from the corner of his mouth.
※※※
Under the command of Wang Qi, the Third Legion of Yunyang began to launch a fierce offensive on Renqiu City on the morning of the sixth day of the siege. In terms of density and intensity, it was far greater than the total of the previous five days.
The sound of killing outside Renqiu City was shocking the sky and blood flowed into a river, but Yunyang's soldiers still stepped on their companions' bodies, braved the dense rain of arrows and flying stones, leaned towards Renqiu's walls.
The huge crash and siege hammers shaking the walls of Ren Qiu City. Long cloud ladders hit Ren Qiu's city one after another. Yunyang's soldiers kept jumping onto Ren Qiu's city walls and engaged in fierce battles with the defending soldiers of the Tianlong Legion.
The fierce battle continued until the sun set. Under the afterglow of the sunset, a knight in extremely gorgeous armor accompanied by a tall knight beside him, walked through layers of armor and appeared in front of the Yunyang army. The flying royal flag was following him.
Behind him are dozens of dense square formations, with guns and spears, murderous intent
This time it was King Yunyang who took action personally
Seeing Yunyang's king flag slowly approaching, Chi Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly, and ordered his soldiers to prepare for the battle.
What a pity, if Wang Guang was there, he could have shot this guy
Cui Wang sighed regretfully, no doubt that the leading knight was the king of Yunyang
The king who can shoot the enemy is simply the supreme merit of the warriors. With this idea, many warriors standing beside Chi Xian and others have begun to take arrows.
However, the bows and arrows they shot could not reach the King Yunyang who was one arrow. Occasionally, a few branches that came to him had no power. They were easily knocked down by King Yunyang's horse with a sword swing.
Seeing his king so brave, Yunyang's soldiers raised the weapons in their hands and cheered warmly
Long live the king! Long live your majesty!
As King Yunyang's long sword swung out, the army behind rushed up like a tide, almost completely submerging the land between King Yunyang and Ren Qiu's city walls.
Such momentum makes the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion on Renqiu City feel cold
Prepare to break through and retreat! Chi Xian sighed and ordered the soldiers beside him
Sir... Cui Wang and Shanqing shouted anxiously at the same time
We have no other choice. Chi Xian's eyes darkened: How long can Renqiu City Wall last now? I don't want everyone to fight to the death on the top of the city. Even if you laugh at me for not having the courage, as long as we keep our soldiers, we will have a chance to defeat the enemy in the future.
But Lord Ye Tianlong... Cui Wang and Shanqing looked at Chi Xian hesitantly. Although they did not continue to say it, the meaning in their words was very clear.
It doesn't matter. Chi Xian looked at the Yunyang army advancing rapidly under the city: If there is any problem, I, the Qingzhou Defense Chief, have taken over. You can go down quickly and prepare.
Just as Yunyang's siege troops approached Renqiu's city wall, the closed gate of Renqiu City was suddenly opened. Chi Xian led two thousand soldiers from the Tianlong Legion to launch a fierce charge towards Yunyang's army who rushed to the city gate.
Unexpectedly, the Fast Army would launch a counterattack under this situation. The Yunyang Army, who was rushing in the front, were all carrying bulky siege machinery, and were not the opponent of these Tianlong Legion soldiers holding short weapons.
Almost as soon as the two sides contacted each other, blood splattered, and the soldiers of Yunyang Army fell down screaming.
Soon, the Yunyang soldiers caught off guard and left their heavy siege weapons and retreated, while the infantry behind rushed up desperately under the command of the general, trying to take the opportunity to seize the gate of Renqiu City. The whole scene became quite chaotic.
Under the leadership of Chi Xian, the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion kept waving the sword in their hands, chopping down the Yunyang Army soldiers in front of them to the ground, inserting them into the Yunyang Army's formation, and pounced towards the Yunyang King, who was located in the middle of the square formation with a dense cone assault array.
Faced with the sudden violent assault of the Fast Army and the chaotic scene of the Yunyang Army, the young King Yunyang had a look of astonishment and panic on his face. This hot and crazy battlefield was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Protect Your Majesty!
Lin Yichong, the loyal old guard who was following King Yunyang, raised his spear and blocked the young king. The guard formation of the king's own formation also quickly moved towards the position where the king was, forming a tight formation in front of the king's war horse.
The thick formation of Yunyang Army played a powerful role. The Fast Army's cone assault formation was advancing slowly and slowly. Seeing this situation, the young King Yunyang finally let go of his beating heart.
He raised the long sword in his hand and said loudly: The Guards attack and kill the enemy without leaving any armor!
The guards' phalanx, which had been waiting for orders, immediately began to advance at high speed, and the third legion in front retreated to both sides, giving way to the guards' charge.
Just as Yunyang's army was adjusting its formation, Chi Xian suddenly led the team to retreat at high speed and took the opportunity to break out of close contact with Yunyang's army. Although Yunyang's guards charged very quickly and almost rushed to the back of the Fast army, Chi Xian had already prepared to respond at the gate. Cui Wang and Shanqing blocked the city gate with soldiers, and Ren Qiu's wall was also covered by waves of arrows. After a melee, the Fast army retreated to Ren Qiu's city, and the city gate was closed tightly again.
Although the Fast Army successfully repelled the counterattack, the Yunyang Army lost a large number of siege machinery. The young King Yunyang could not help but be furious by this result. He ordered the entire army to attack the city overnight and must capture Ren Qiucheng before tomorrow morning
However, after the fierce counterattack of the Fast Army, the Yunyang Army did not dare to be careless anymore. While siegeing the city, they also paid great attention to the protection of their siege machinery.
※※※
It seems that our Majesty the King has a great time...
The commander of the Chifeng Legion, who had been watching the battle behind, couldn't help but chuckled slightly when he saw this.
The army next to him asked in a low voice: Sir, the time is almost over. Should we help His Majesty?
Yes, it's time for the siege cannon to attack
Soon, dozens of huge siege cannons were pushed out by Yunyang army and lined up in front of Renqiu City. These cannons were actually giant trenchers transformed by Yunyang craftsmen. They could hit nearly 100 kilograms of large stones more than a thousand steps away. Their destructive power was amazing, but at the same time, their size was astonishingly large.
Almost the first round of launch, the walls of Renqiu City were riddled with holes, and a large hole appeared above the wall.
Seeing such a terrible destructive power, all the soldiers in Yunyang cheered loudly, while the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion had a look of earth. In this case, the city wall had lost its protection effect.
Chi Xian made a quick decision and ordered the entire army to prepare for a breakthrough
After three rounds of siege cannons, a large gap was blasted out of the wall of Renqiu City, and a whole section of the city wall collapsed completely. Yunyang's soldiers followed the gap and entered Renqiu City. After Chi Xian led his army to resist for a while, he immediately evacuated.
Yunyang's soldiers completely occupied the southern gate of Renqiu City. Then the three iron gate of Renqiu City was opened. King Yunyang commanded the army to enter one after another, and soon completely occupied the entire Renqiu City.
Except for Qin Zhongda and his vanguard battalion to pursue the Fast army evacuated from the North City Gate, the other troops rested in Renqiu City for two days. The victory of the first formation made the young King Yunyang very happy. He generously rewarded a large amount of gold, silver and treasures to his generals.
The generals of Yunyang also congratulated their king on their first battle and achieved such results. They were really wise and magical martial arts.
The numerous praises made the young king a little proud
From now on, I will always command the soldiers of the Third Legion to fight. Let’s see how I defeat the Fast Army!
Of course, King Yunyang was also very dissatisfied with why the powerful siege cannon appeared on the battlefield so late, but Lin Hong, the commander of the Chifeng Legion, had sufficient reasons. Because this huge siege weapon was moving too slowly. When transported from Yunyang's base, the logistics transportation team spent a lot of time and effort.
If it weren't for your majesty's magical martial arts and motivation, it might take two days for the siege cannon to arrive
Although I knew this was flattery, the young King Yunyang also accepted it very happily.
He generously pardoned the punishment that was supposed to be implemented on the logistics and transportation team, and allowed them to enjoy the joy of the king's victory together.
※※※
The Fast army, who retreated from Renqiucheng, had almost no chance to breathe under the fierce pursuit of Yunyang's army.
Qin Zhongda is worthy of being the number one tiger general in Yunyang. His attack speed was as fast as lightning. When Chi Xian and his team had just retreated from Renqiu City, Qin Zhongda's troops came from behind and suddenly broke the entire team.
Chi Xian and Cui Wang joined forces, but they could not resist Qin Zhongda's attack. Finally, Shanqing forced Qin Zhongda to stubbornly entangle Qin Zhongda. A hard battle, more than 4,000 people were damaged. Chi Xian and others finally got rid of Qin Zhongda's troops and retreated to Anyang.
But Qin Zhongda did not stop, but rectified his troops and followed Chi Xian and others to chase after him.
In such a dangerous situation, Chi Xian fully utilized his command ability, fighting and retreating, ambushing, sneak attacks, and assaulting along the way, and staged several counter-chasing battles in succession. As a result, the fleeing people were tired and the chasing people became exhausted.
Finally, near Anyang, Chi Xian's troops were caught up by Qin Zhongda's cavalry again. After several battles, Qin Zhongda's subordinates were still 15,000 cavalry, of which 5,000 were the iron cavalry he trained himself.
Chi Xian's men were 18,000 soldiers, including 4,000 archers, 10,000 spearmen, 3,000 shield players, and 1,000 light cavalry soldiers.
At this point, Chi Xian knew that he could not retreat any longer because his subordinates were already very tired. If he retreated, the entire team might collapse immediately. He had no choice but to order the entire army to prepare for the war.
Qin Zhongda was also full of respect for the tenacious opponent in front of him. In the fight along the way, he could maintain the stability of the team and gained advantage from his cavalry several times. This was really surprising, because ordinary infantry could not hold on at all under the pursuit of cavalry.
Chi Xian had just commanded the soldiers to set up the formation, and suddenly a strange feeling surged from his heart. Before he could look back, he heard a faint sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and then smoke and dust rose from the sky behind.
Could it be that Yunyang's cavalry went around behind us?
A trace of ominous feeling flashed in Chi Xian's heart. Now he placed four thousand archers at the end of the team, and putting the shield and spearmen in front was impossible to turn around again, not to mention that he was trapped in the dilemma of attacking on both sides, the infantry's defensive formation completely lost its effect.
It was General Qingji's red lancer! Shanqing, who was standing behind the formation, suddenly screamed
Sure enough, the big flag that appeared in sight was the banner of the red lancers. The excited Fast army couldn't help but have a slight commotion. Even Chi Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Wang, whose mind was relaxed, almost sat down and rested.
Qin Zhongda, who was standing in front of the formation, also saw it very clearly. Just as he was about to attack the army, the infantry of the Fast Army arranged in the formation suddenly separated to both sides, and the beating red suddenly appeared in his sight. In almost a moment of kung fu, Yunyang's cavalry's eyes were full of fiery red colors.
This was the first time Qin Zhongda and his subordinates saw such a fast cavalry. The red lancers appeared in front of them like lightning, and formed a charge formation in front of Chi Xian. The boundless murderous aura rushed towards Yunyang's cavalry like a tide.
kill!
Qin Zhongda suddenly let out a thunderous roar and rushed out first. He knew that the cavalry would adjust their pace for a while after speeding up, and this was his chance.
But he soon discovered that the situation was not as he thought it was
Under the command of Qing Ji, the red lancers showed precision tactics. The cavalry in the middle shrank a little, while the cavalry on both wings pulled in the middle, and the arc-shaped formation just absorbed the impact of the Yunyang cavalry.
Qin Zhongda, who adopted the balance tactic, placed five thousand cavalry in the middle, with five thousand cavalry on both wings. Although Yunyang's iron cavalry is higher than the red lancers, the cavalry on both wings is not as good as Qingji's lancers.
After the two armies fought together for a quarter of an hour, the cavalry in the center of the Yunyang Army began to suppress Qingji's lancers, and the center of the formation of the red lancers seemed even more concave. However, the strength and courage of the red lancers exceeded the imagination of the Yunyang people. Every step of the iron cavalry advances requires a lot of strength. However, relatively speaking, the cavalry on both wings of Yunyang could not withstand the fierce sprint of the lancers and were already retreating.
When Qin Zhongda discovered that the situation was not good, he and his cavalry had fallen into the red ocean. The cavalry who had lost their wings to protect themselves in the formation of the red lancers. Around them were the number of lancers far above them.
The armor worn by Qin Zhongda's iron cavalry is made of a kind of fine iron specialty produced by Yunyang. It has strong firmness and light weight, which makes the iron cavalry have the speed of light cavalry and the attack power of heavy cavalry. However, the output of this fine iron is not high and cannot be equipped on a large scale. So far, there are only 23,000 iron cavalry in Yunyang.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for a lancer equipped with ordinary armor to face the iron cavalry in Yunyang, but when they surrounded the iron cavalry, the situation was completely different. An iron cavalry was not facing a lancer in front of him, but three or more long spears stabbed from different directions.
Qing Ji lowered his head and avoided the attack of an iron cavalry. The flame gun in his hand flashed and directly picked the iron cavalry off the war horse. Under the surrounding horses' hooves, the cavalry suddenly changed red and white, and blood splashed.
Before anyone could land, Qingji had already swung his gun and blasted the sword that had been chopped from both sides. Then a red flame speared out from the flame spear. The hot air flow made the iron cavalry scream and roll down from the horse, becoming a ball of flame.
The war horse that lost its master jumped and fled from the battlefield. The next moment, Qin Zhongda's figure appeared in front of Qing Ji's eyes.
Qin Zhongda has been paying attention to Qing Ji for a while. He saw this handsome general Fast walking freely among the Iron Cavalry like a fiery red dragon. He left bright red marks everywhere he went. The Iron Cavalry's scream made him feel heartbroken.
Similarly, Qing Ji has been looking for the enemy's main general for a while. The title of Yunyang's No. 1 Tiger General made him very excited. Defeating the enemy's vanguard general is also a great encouragement for the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion.
No matter what, when the battle reached the most intense, the two main generals finally met face to face
The collision between black and red plays the strongest notes of the battle in the battlefield, and it is also the key point of victory or defeat
Less than two rounds of battle, Qing Ji and Qin Zhongda both understood the opponent's powerful strength. The flame gun with fire element attribute and the black iron spear with water element attribute collided continuously in the air, bursting out a series of sparks.
Two more rounds, Qingji's arm had a blood stain of about an inch long, and Qin Zhongda also had a large charred mark on his chest. Both sides had their own gains, but neither of them took much advantage.
Next to the two men's war horses, there were already dozens of incomplete corpses of cavalry who tried to take the opportunity to attack.
Although the outcome of the main general's battle is unpredictable, Yunyang's iron cavalry gradually lost the initiative under the siege of the red lances. However, the red lances who gained the advantage did not have time to transform the advantage into a real victory, because the team of Yunyang Pioneer Camp left behind by Qin Zhongda had appeared on the battlefield under the afterglow of the sunset.
The battle lasted for a while, and it was already dark. Qing Ji and Qin Zhongda, who had their own jealousies, had to withdraw their troops. The Fast army retreated into Anyang, while the Yunyang army set up camp outside.
Episode 21
It's Ah, the respected Your Majesty. A man standing next to Lin De also asked, "He is Lin Hua, the infantry commander of the Guards."
Now you just let the King of Zhenxi attack Renqiucheng, would you give the credit to them?
Looking at his two confidants who have been playing with since childhood, a mysterious smile appeared on the young face of King Yunyang. He shook his head and picked up a jade cup on the desk and started playing with it.
I was extremely confused by the actions of my lord. Lin De and Lin Hua looked at each other, and finally Lin De couldn't help but say again: Our guards have not made any contributions, and there is really no prestige in the army.
No! King Yunyang's face turned aside and said slowly: You are all wrong. I need you to preserve your strength by my side. Now is definitely not the time for you to go out.
Seeing that Lin De and Lin Hua still didn't understand, King Yunyang shook his head slightly. He knew that his two close friends were both good at martial arts skills, but when it comes to thinking, they were much worse.
Do you know how many troops Uncle Wang has in his hands? King Yunyang put down the jade cup in his hand and decided to enlighten his confidants.
From now on, he also needs these cronies to really contribute to himself
Five hundred thousand troops Lin Hua blurted out without thinking
Yes, do you know how many troops we in Yunyang have in total? King Yunyang nodded and continued to ask
More than 900,000 troops this time it was Linde's answer
Yes, there are only more than 900,000 troops in total, and Uncle Wang has 500,000 in his hands. More than half of the troops in the country are under his control! King Yunyang sighed softly and said: The remaining more than 400,000 troops are stationed on the border with Chu and Yue, while the other half are guarding against Ludian's army.
Speaking of this, a look of pain flowed out from King Yunyang's face: Do you know? All I can use is your guards, the dignified leader of a country, but only a 50,000 army!
Lin De and Lin Hua looked at each other. No matter how stupid they were, they could already see the angry flames in the heart of the young king and the unwilling ambition.
Do you know? Since I ascended the throne, I have never dared to take any action, because I am afraid of attracting Uncle Wang’s attention. He is an indelible shadow in my heart. Therefore, this time the dispatch of troops gave me a great opportunity. I must find a way to take the opportunity to take the military power from Uncle Wang to Yunyang, which is my country!
By the time of the last sentence, King Yunyang's words had become extremely harsh
Lin De and Lin Hua immediately fell to their lords
So, I need your help, let Uncle Wang’s army consume it for a while now! Just show the strength of our guards in important battles and let the soldiers know our strength.
King Yunyang pulled Lin De and Lin Hua with both hands, looked at them and said in a deep voice: Whether it is Qin Zhongda or Chifeng Legion, they are all the powerful minions of Uncle Wang, you must remember!
Yes! Lin De and Lin Hua knelt down again, bowed to their king, and sweared loyalty
※※※
Yunyang's army attacked for five consecutive days, but Ren Qiucheng was not captured, but instead lost a lot of troops. This situation made King Yunyang furious in the big tent.
Tomorrow, I will supervise the battle myself and must capture Ren Qiucheng! He scolded his generals. Finally, the young King Yunyang said to his generals like this.
The battle is dangerous, His Majesty the King should not take risks in person...
Lin Hong, the commander of the Red Front Legion, knelt down on the ground and spoke to his king.
But his words were exchanged for King Yunyang's flat rejection
How can our Yunyang army be blocked by such a small city in front of us? You are not in good condition. Now you have removed your position as general of the Corps and I will personally command the Third Corps tomorrow!
After saying that, the young king shook his hand and left the generals in the tent looking at each other. No one noticed that at this time, the sneering sneer and the light in his eyes appeared slightly from the corner of his mouth.
※※※
Under the command of Wang Qi, the Third Legion of Yunyang began to launch a fierce offensive on Renqiu City on the morning of the sixth day of the siege. In terms of density and intensity, it was far greater than the total of the previous five days.
The sound of killing outside Renqiu City was shocking the sky and blood flowed into a river, but Yunyang's soldiers still stepped on their companions' bodies, braved the dense rain of arrows and flying stones, leaned towards Renqiu's walls.
The huge crash and siege hammers shaking the walls of Ren Qiu City. Long cloud ladders hit Ren Qiu's city one after another. Yunyang's soldiers kept jumping onto Ren Qiu's city walls and engaged in fierce battles with the defending soldiers of the Tianlong Legion.
The fierce battle continued until the sun set. Under the afterglow of the sunset, a knight in extremely gorgeous armor accompanied by a tall knight beside him, walked through layers of armor and appeared in front of the Yunyang army. The flying royal flag was following him.
Behind him are dozens of dense square formations, with guns and spears, murderous intent
This time it was King Yunyang who took action personally
Seeing Yunyang's king flag slowly approaching, Chi Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly, and ordered his soldiers to prepare for the battle.
What a pity, if Wang Guang was there, he could have shot this guy
Cui Wang sighed regretfully, no doubt that the leading knight was the king of Yunyang
The king who can shoot the enemy is simply the supreme merit of the warriors. With this idea, many warriors standing beside Chi Xian and others have begun to take arrows.
However, the bows and arrows they shot could not reach the King Yunyang who was one arrow. Occasionally, a few branches that came to him had no power. They were easily knocked down by King Yunyang's horse with a sword swing.
Seeing his king so brave, Yunyang's soldiers raised the weapons in their hands and cheered warmly
Long live the king! Long live your majesty!
As King Yunyang's long sword swung out, the army behind rushed up like a tide, almost completely submerging the land between King Yunyang and Ren Qiu's city walls.
Such momentum makes the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion on Renqiu City feel cold
Prepare to break through and retreat! Chi Xian sighed and ordered the soldiers beside him
Sir... Cui Wang and Shanqing shouted anxiously at the same time
We have no other choice. Chi Xian's eyes darkened: How long can Renqiu City Wall last now? I don't want everyone to fight to the death on the top of the city. Even if you laugh at me for not having the courage, as long as we keep our soldiers, we will have a chance to defeat the enemy in the future.
But Lord Ye Tianlong... Cui Wang and Shanqing looked at Chi Xian hesitantly. Although they did not continue to say it, the meaning in their words was very clear.
It doesn't matter. Chi Xian looked at the Yunyang army advancing rapidly under the city: If there is any problem, I, the Qingzhou Defense Chief, have taken over. You can go down quickly and prepare.
Just as Yunyang's siege troops approached Renqiu's city wall, the closed gate of Renqiu City was suddenly opened. Chi Xian led two thousand soldiers from the Tianlong Legion to launch a fierce charge towards Yunyang's army who rushed to the city gate.
Unexpectedly, the Fast Army would launch a counterattack under this situation. The Yunyang Army, who was rushing in the front, were all carrying bulky siege machinery, and were not the opponent of these Tianlong Legion soldiers holding short weapons.
Almost as soon as the two sides contacted each other, blood splattered, and the soldiers of Yunyang Army fell down screaming.
Soon, the Yunyang soldiers caught off guard and left their heavy siege weapons and retreated, while the infantry behind rushed up desperately under the command of the general, trying to take the opportunity to seize the gate of Renqiu City. The whole scene became quite chaotic.
Under the leadership of Chi Xian, the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion kept waving the sword in their hands, chopping down the Yunyang Army soldiers in front of them to the ground, inserting them into the Yunyang Army's formation, and pounced towards the Yunyang King, who was located in the middle of the square formation with a dense cone assault array.
Faced with the sudden violent assault of the Fast Army and the chaotic scene of the Yunyang Army, the young King Yunyang had a look of astonishment and panic on his face. This hot and crazy battlefield was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Protect Your Majesty!
Lin Yichong, the loyal old guard who was following King Yunyang, raised his spear and blocked the young king. The guard formation of the king's own formation also quickly moved towards the position where the king was, forming a tight formation in front of the king's war horse.
The thick formation of Yunyang Army played a powerful role. The Fast Army's cone assault formation was advancing slowly and slowly. Seeing this situation, the young King Yunyang finally let go of his beating heart.
He raised the long sword in his hand and said loudly: The Guards attack and kill the enemy without leaving any armor!
The guards' phalanx, which had been waiting for orders, immediately began to advance at high speed, and the third legion in front retreated to both sides, giving way to the guards' charge.
Just as Yunyang's army was adjusting its formation, Chi Xian suddenly led the team to retreat at high speed and took the opportunity to break out of close contact with Yunyang's army. Although Yunyang's guards charged very quickly and almost rushed to the back of the Fast army, Chi Xian had already prepared to respond at the gate. Cui Wang and Shanqing blocked the city gate with soldiers, and Ren Qiu's wall was also covered by waves of arrows. After a melee, the Fast army retreated to Ren Qiu's city, and the city gate was closed tightly again.
Although the Fast Army successfully repelled the counterattack, the Yunyang Army lost a large number of siege machinery. The young King Yunyang could not help but be furious by this result. He ordered the entire army to attack the city overnight and must capture Ren Qiucheng before tomorrow morning
However, after the fierce counterattack of the Fast Army, the Yunyang Army did not dare to be careless anymore. While siegeing the city, they also paid great attention to the protection of their siege machinery.
※※※
It seems that our Majesty the King has a great time...
The commander of the Chifeng Legion, who had been watching the battle behind, couldn't help but chuckled slightly when he saw this.
The army next to him asked in a low voice: Sir, the time is almost over. Should we help His Majesty?
Yes, it's time for the siege cannon to attack
Soon, dozens of huge siege cannons were pushed out by Yunyang army and lined up in front of Renqiu City. These cannons were actually giant trenchers transformed by Yunyang craftsmen. They could hit nearly 100 kilograms of large stones more than a thousand steps away. Their destructive power was amazing, but at the same time, their size was astonishingly large.
Almost the first round of launch, the walls of Renqiu City were riddled with holes, and a large hole appeared above the wall.
Seeing such a terrible destructive power, all the soldiers in Yunyang cheered loudly, while the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion had a look of earth. In this case, the city wall had lost its protection effect.
Chi Xian made a quick decision and ordered the entire army to prepare for a breakthrough
After three rounds of siege cannons, a large gap was blasted out of the wall of Renqiu City, and a whole section of the city wall collapsed completely. Yunyang's soldiers followed the gap and entered Renqiu City. After Chi Xian led his army to resist for a while, he immediately evacuated.
Yunyang's soldiers completely occupied the southern gate of Renqiu City. Then the three iron gate of Renqiu City was opened. King Yunyang commanded the army to enter one after another, and soon completely occupied the entire Renqiu City.
Except for Qin Zhongda and his vanguard battalion to pursue the Fast army evacuated from the North City Gate, the other troops rested in Renqiu City for two days. The victory of the first formation made the young King Yunyang very happy. He generously rewarded a large amount of gold, silver and treasures to his generals.
The generals of Yunyang also congratulated their king on their first battle and achieved such results. They were really wise and magical martial arts.
The numerous praises made the young king a little proud
From now on, I will always command the soldiers of the Third Legion to fight. Let’s see how I defeat the Fast Army!
Of course, King Yunyang was also very dissatisfied with why the powerful siege cannon appeared on the battlefield so late, but Lin Hong, the commander of the Chifeng Legion, had sufficient reasons. Because this huge siege weapon was moving too slowly. When transported from Yunyang's base, the logistics transportation team spent a lot of time and effort.
If it weren't for your majesty's magical martial arts and motivation, it might take two days for the siege cannon to arrive
Although I knew this was flattery, the young King Yunyang also accepted it very happily.
He generously pardoned the punishment that was supposed to be implemented on the logistics and transportation team, and allowed them to enjoy the joy of the king's victory together.
※※※
The Fast army, who retreated from Renqiucheng, had almost no chance to breathe under the fierce pursuit of Yunyang's army.
Qin Zhongda is worthy of being the number one tiger general in Yunyang. His attack speed was as fast as lightning. When Chi Xian and his team had just retreated from Renqiu City, Qin Zhongda's troops came from behind and suddenly broke the entire team.
Chi Xian and Cui Wang joined forces, but they could not resist Qin Zhongda's attack. Finally, Shanqing forced Qin Zhongda to stubbornly entangle Qin Zhongda. A hard battle, more than 4,000 people were damaged. Chi Xian and others finally got rid of Qin Zhongda's troops and retreated to Anyang.
But Qin Zhongda did not stop, but rectified his troops and followed Chi Xian and others to chase after him.
In such a dangerous situation, Chi Xian fully utilized his command ability, fighting and retreating, ambushing, sneak attacks, and assaulting along the way, and staged several counter-chasing battles in succession. As a result, the fleeing people were tired and the chasing people became exhausted.
Finally, near Anyang, Chi Xian's troops were caught up by Qin Zhongda's cavalry again. After several battles, Qin Zhongda's subordinates were still 15,000 cavalry, of which 5,000 were the iron cavalry he trained himself.
Chi Xian's men were 18,000 soldiers, including 4,000 archers, 10,000 spearmen, 3,000 shield players, and 1,000 light cavalry soldiers.
At this point, Chi Xian knew that he could not retreat any longer because his subordinates were already very tired. If he retreated, the entire team might collapse immediately. He had no choice but to order the entire army to prepare for the war.
Qin Zhongda was also full of respect for the tenacious opponent in front of him. In the fight along the way, he could maintain the stability of the team and gained advantage from his cavalry several times. This was really surprising, because ordinary infantry could not hold on at all under the pursuit of cavalry.
Chi Xian had just commanded the soldiers to set up the formation, and suddenly a strange feeling surged from his heart. Before he could look back, he heard a faint sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and then smoke and dust rose from the sky behind.
Could it be that Yunyang's cavalry went around behind us?
A trace of ominous feeling flashed in Chi Xian's heart. Now he placed four thousand archers at the end of the team, and putting the shield and spearmen in front was impossible to turn around again, not to mention that he was trapped in the dilemma of attacking on both sides, the infantry's defensive formation completely lost its effect.
It was General Qingji's red lancer! Shanqing, who was standing behind the formation, suddenly screamed
Sure enough, the big flag that appeared in sight was the banner of the red lancers. The excited Fast army couldn't help but have a slight commotion. Even Chi Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Wang, whose mind was relaxed, almost sat down and rested.
Qin Zhongda, who was standing in front of the formation, also saw it very clearly. Just as he was about to attack the army, the infantry of the Fast Army arranged in the formation suddenly separated to both sides, and the beating red suddenly appeared in his sight. In almost a moment of kung fu, Yunyang's cavalry's eyes were full of fiery red colors.
This was the first time Qin Zhongda and his subordinates saw such a fast cavalry. The red lancers appeared in front of them like lightning, and formed a charge formation in front of Chi Xian. The boundless murderous aura rushed towards Yunyang's cavalry like a tide.
kill!
Qin Zhongda suddenly let out a thunderous roar and rushed out first. He knew that the cavalry would adjust their pace for a while after speeding up, and this was his chance.
But he soon discovered that the situation was not as he thought it was
Under the command of Qing Ji, the red lancers showed precision tactics. The cavalry in the middle shrank a little, while the cavalry on both wings pulled in the middle, and the arc-shaped formation just absorbed the impact of the Yunyang cavalry.
Qin Zhongda, who adopted the balance tactic, placed five thousand cavalry in the middle, with five thousand cavalry on both wings. Although Yunyang's iron cavalry is higher than the red lancers, the cavalry on both wings is not as good as Qingji's lancers.
After the two armies fought together for a quarter of an hour, the cavalry in the center of the Yunyang Army began to suppress Qingji's lancers, and the center of the formation of the red lancers seemed even more concave. However, the strength and courage of the red lancers exceeded the imagination of the Yunyang people. Every step of the iron cavalry advances requires a lot of strength. However, relatively speaking, the cavalry on both wings of Yunyang could not withstand the fierce sprint of the lancers and were already retreating.
When Qin Zhongda discovered that the situation was not good, he and his cavalry had fallen into the red ocean. The cavalry who had lost their wings to protect themselves in the formation of the red lancers. Around them were the number of lancers far above them.
The armor worn by Qin Zhongda's iron cavalry is made of a kind of fine iron specialty produced by Yunyang. It has strong firmness and light weight, which makes the iron cavalry have the speed of light cavalry and the attack power of heavy cavalry. However, the output of this fine iron is not high and cannot be equipped on a large scale. So far, there are only 23,000 iron cavalry in Yunyang.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for a lancer equipped with ordinary armor to face the iron cavalry in Yunyang, but when they surrounded the iron cavalry, the situation was completely different. An iron cavalry was not facing a lancer in front of him, but three or more long spears stabbed from different directions.
Qing Ji lowered his head and avoided the attack of an iron cavalry. The flame gun in his hand flashed and directly picked the iron cavalry off the war horse. Under the surrounding horses' hooves, the cavalry suddenly changed red and white, and blood splashed.
Before anyone could land, Qingji had already swung his gun and blasted the sword that had been chopped from both sides. Then a red flame speared out from the flame spear. The hot air flow made the iron cavalry scream and roll down from the horse, becoming a ball of flame.
The war horse that lost its master jumped and fled from the battlefield. The next moment, Qin Zhongda's figure appeared in front of Qing Ji's eyes.
Qin Zhongda has been paying attention to Qing Ji for a while. He saw this handsome general Fast walking freely among the Iron Cavalry like a fiery red dragon. He left bright red marks everywhere he went. The Iron Cavalry's scream made him feel heartbroken.
Similarly, Qing Ji has been looking for the enemy's main general for a while. The title of Yunyang's No. 1 Tiger General made him very excited. Defeating the enemy's vanguard general is also a great encouragement for the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion.
No matter what, when the battle reached the most intense, the two main generals finally met face to face
The collision between black and red plays the strongest notes of the battle in the battlefield, and it is also the key point of victory or defeat
Less than two rounds of battle, Qing Ji and Qin Zhongda both understood the opponent's powerful strength. The flame gun with fire element attribute and the black iron spear with water element attribute collided continuously in the air, bursting out a series of sparks.
Two more rounds, Qingji's arm had a blood stain of about an inch long, and Qin Zhongda also had a large charred mark on his chest. Both sides had their own gains, but neither of them took much advantage.
Next to the two men's war horses, there were already dozens of incomplete corpses of cavalry who tried to take the opportunity to attack.
Although the outcome of the main general's battle is unpredictable, Yunyang's iron cavalry gradually lost the initiative under the siege of the red lances. However, the red lances who gained the advantage did not have time to transform the advantage into a real victory, because the team of Yunyang Pioneer Camp left behind by Qin Zhongda had appeared on the battlefield under the afterglow of the sunset.
The battle lasted for a while, and it was already dark. Qing Ji and Qin Zhongda, who had their own jealousies, had to withdraw their troops. The Fast army retreated into Anyang, while the Yunyang army set up camp outside.
