Chapter 242: Desperate Breakthrough
Shi Yi indeed chose the Xicheng Gate where the Shenzhou soldiers were located as the breakthrough point for breaking through.
The three thousand most elite soldiers sneaked out of Xidaying under the leadership of his son Shi Kuan. With the sudden sound of drums and shouts, thousands of people in the front row jumped up from the ground and hit the fence of Xidaying. With the sound of a loud bang, a fence dozens of feet long fell down. The elite Lu Long's army held their shields and rushed into the camp.
On the open space in front of Xidaying, several bonfires were burning alone, and the rest were all dark. Lu Long's army, who rushed into the camp, picked up the torches on the ground and threw them at the closed tents. Balls of flames burned in the night sky.
However, there was still no movement in the front camp.
Shi Kuan's flushed face, which was originally excited, turned pale white in a moment after attacking the camp.
The empty camp in front of you shows that the enemy has prepared for a long time.
This is a trap waiting for them.
But when they opened the bow, they had no choice but to continue moving forward.
"Get out and kill into their central army!" Shi Kuan waved the long spear in his hand, and shouted loudly while galloping forward.
At this moment, behind them, the main force led by Shi Yi was coming endlessly, and he had no choice but to retreat.
A little further away, Du Teng had a verdant face, his lips were trembling, and his hands curled up like a nervous system, stretched out, curled up again, and stretched out again.
Shi Yi really chose him, which hit his self-esteem deeply. Is he so vulnerable in Shi Yi's eyes?
"Shoot the arrow!" His voice was a little weird. This was excitement and anger.
Countless crossbows and archers were ready. After Du Teng's roar, a loud bang, dense feather arrows and countless stone bombs flew into the air and covered the front camp.
This was calculated in advance, with the range, angle, and coverage, all of which were carefully prepared. The forward Lu Long, who had just advanced to the front camp, was immediately hit by a great disaster.
The crossbow was launched and arrived first. The stone bullets of rice bowls were smashed like raindrops. The forward of Lu Long immediately raised the shield in his hand. A muffled sound of raindrops sounded like raindrops, mixed with the screams of countless people.
If you are a little slow to prepare, you can imagine the outcome if you are hit by a stone falling from the sky of this size. Even if you are ready and raise your shield to protect the key, many people's wrists are numb. If you happen to hit the key point, it is reasonable to have a broken arm.
But the crossbows are not the most harmful thing. They are only responsible for the heavy responsibility of opening the road.
The moment the stone bomb fell, more feather arrows fell from the sky, and the omnipresent feather arrows penetrated through the broken shield formation, causing Lu Longjun to fall in pieces.
"Let go, let go, let go, shoot these dogs to death." Du Teng waved his sword like an angry bull, roaring and giving orders.
The crossbowmen's feather arrows were inserted in front of them. After one arrow was shot, they immediately pulled up a feather arrow and covered it with desperate efforts. The crossbowmen nervously replaced the stone bullets. When the feather arrows shot out five arrows, their arms were sore, the crossbowmen just took the opportunity.
Shi Kuan rushed very quickly. Just because he rushed fast, he happened to avoid the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, and rushed out of the front camp. In front of him, a dozens of feet of open space appeared. On the other side of the open space, countless torches and bonfires were lit at this time. What appeared in his sight was the lineup of Shenzhou soldiers waiting for him.
"Kill here!" Shi Kuan roared wildly, his legs clamped the horse's belly and rushed out quickly.
More than a hundred cavalrymen following Shi Kuan took the lead in rushing out of the front camp shouted together and rode their horses forward.
With a roar, Shi Kuan fell down with his men and horses. Dozens of war horses fell down with him.
On the seemingly flat open space, a trench about three feet deep and five feet wide was dug. A layer of thin plates were laid on it and fine soil was sprinkled with. At this time, the sky was not bright yet, so how could I see clearly.
The war horse missed the air and fell into the pit, and suddenly it fell over.
The war horses that charge naturally couldn't stop. The one in front fell down, but the one behind was still charging, jumping through the trap, and the dozens of cavalry left still attacked the Shenzhou soldiers.
"Flat shot!" The roar of the officers sounded among the soldiers in Shenzhou.
The flat crossbow cannon was replaced with crossbow arrows. With the whimpering sound, hundreds of crossbow arrows swept across the battlefield, and only dozens of cavalry left fell to the ground. The crossbow arrows fired from the crossbow cannons were not comparable to those of feather arrows. If you get an arrow, you can basically report to the Hall of Yama Hall.
At this time, Shi Yi had just left the city.
When Shi Kuan was prepared for the Shenzhou soldiers, when Shi Kuan failed to attack and his life and death were unknown, the muscles on Shi Yi's face twitched for a moment, but for only a moment, he issued an order to continue the attack.
Once you go to the battlefield, life and death will come to fate, even his son.
More Lu Long soldiers rushed to the front line of the position.
Du Teng was not satisfied because he severely defeated Shi Yi's forward. At this moment, his heart was still full of anger.
"Are we weak?" he roared angrily standing in front of his dozens of generals and school names.
"No!"
"Why did the enemy choose us?" Du Teng roared. These generals and subordinates had experienced the debates with the Jingzhou generals of Liu Chenglin in the central army's tent during the day. At this moment, they were all extremely angry. Not only did the Jingzhou people underestimate them, but also the Yu Shiyi underestimated them.
"Prove yourself and kill those Lu Long people. After dawn, let's take the Lu Long people's heads and throw them in front of Liu Chenglin." Du Teng roared.
"Kill!" Dozens of generals were excited.
"Hu Shier!" Du Teng looked at a young general.
"The last one is here!" Hu Shier stepped forward.
"Your team is a forward, can you stand it?" Du Teng roared.
"I will win the first battle with me, and I will win!" Hu Shier pulled out his knife, slashed it with a false slash, turned around and left.
A moment later, when the Lu Long Army's infantry rectified the troops and attacked the Shenzhou soldiers again, the thousand soldiers led by Hu Shier also took neat steps, shouting slogans neatly, and raised their shields in three steps to face Lu Long Army.
"Brothers, kill all the Lulong people and use their blood to muffle Liu Chenglin's face!" Hu Shier raised his sword and shouted.
"Kill and kill!" The answer was the sound of a thousand soldiers who were full of murderous intentions.
In the east of Zhangwu City, Liu Chenglin rode his horse and slowly patrolled the battlefield. As a Lu Long army that was feinted, he was defeated by him at this moment. Liu Changfeng was leading his troops to sweep the battlefield, but his attention was all focused on the direction of the Xicheng. At this moment, although he could not see the battle in the direction of the Xicheng, the fire that soared into the sky was clearly distinguishable, and the fierce shouts of killing were also faintly heard.
"General, the Lulong army's feint attack troops have been wiped out by us, killing more than a thousand enemies, capturing nearly two thousand people, and some people have escaped in the dark. What should we do now?"
"Take Zhang Wu and cut off Shi Yi's retreat." Liu Chenglin Ying raised her gun and pointed the halberd at Zhang Wu City.
"Xicheng, can it stand?" Liu Changfeng was a little worried.
Liu Chenglin rolled his eyes and said to him: "This is not a problem we need to worry about, that is a problem that Du Teng and Cao Gong need to consider. The whole army attacked Zhang Wu."
In fact, Shi Yi's choice was not wrong. Among the three troops besieged in the city, the Shenzhou soldiers were really the weakest. However, during the day, Liu Chenglin's conversation with Du Teng with obvious contempt angered all the Shenzhou generals. At this moment, on the battlefield, they were insulted with a deep sense of humiliation. Everyone fought bravely and fought bravely without fear of death. They fought for an incomprehensible land, and did not give in. They fell down and followed behind.
Face is a very strange thing. Sometimes he is worthless, but he is even more expensive than life.
Now the Shenzhou soldiers are using their lives and blood to defend their honor as the people of Shenzhou.
The soldiers led by Hu Shier had already deeply penetrated into the siege of Lu Long's army, and were like an isolated island in the storm of the surging waves. Although sometimes they were suddenly overwhelmed by dangerous waves, after the raging waves, they found that they were still standing firmly in it.
This deep-breaking Shenzhou soldiers formed a circular formation, causing great trouble to Shi Yi.
Outside, Du Teng commanded more Shenzhou soldiers to attack, but inside, he was occupied by such a tenacious Shenzhou soldiers. Shi Yi dispatched troops many times, but the other party was still struggling to support him.
Hu Shier was indeed struggling. At this time, he was comparing the perseverance of both sides. His 1,000 soldiers were reduced by half in just a short period of time.
Hu Shier believed that if he was not at the center of the Lu Long Army's formation at this time, his army would definitely collapse. But at this time, they had no way out. The young master always said that the Lu Long Army's combat effectiveness was very strong. This time, Hu Shier really experienced it. His thousand soldiers, in the past six months, have put in a lot of effort. He thought he was no weaker than any strong army in the world, but today's battle made him see another strong army that would not lose to him.
"Hold on, time is ours, victory is ours." Hu Shier waved his sword and slashed over an enemy in front of him and shouted loudly.
Every minute of time passed, Shi Yi's despair increased one more.
Until this time, the Chengde people's reinforcements had not yet come up, which only means that they were setting up a larger encirclement on the periphery, and they were probably approaching from all directions. They could not get rid of the battle in front of them, and what awaited him would be the destruction of the entire army.
"Governor, Zhang Wu, Zhang Wucheng!" A personal guard officer next to him exclaimed.
Shi Yi turned his head and saw that the Lulong flag was slowly falling above the head of Zhangwu City. Under countless fire lights, a large flag with the word "Lu" was slowly rising. Where the city gate was open, a general was riding out of the horse.
Liu Chenglin entered from the west gate and easily took Zhangwu City. At this moment, he was coming to take over his retreat.
