These 500 cavalry are all veterans of the rest of a hundred battles, and Qiu Bai is a general who is not afraid of death, like an off-string arrow, sharply penetrating the first line of defense built by the besieging rangers. Moreover, the rebels of Shi Chaoyi who besieged the city still had some cat-and-mouse mentality, and they did not do their best to stop it.

Qiu Bai didn't have time to get lucky, his goal was the west gate with the most pressure, if he didn't destroy those tall stone cannons, Fanyang City would be bombarded with holes sooner or later, and before the Hedong Shenwu army arrived, the city would be broken.

"Success or failure is in one move, and you will break the siege with me!"

Initially, He Chang's advice to him was to hide until dark and then attack at night, but at this moment, Qiu Bai suddenly changed his mind. It was only past noon, and there were still several hours before dark, and who knew what kind of offensive the besieging rebels would launch during this time, so it was better to take advantage of everyone's surprise and fight a raid.

Therefore, when the siege was broken, it immediately turned in, and along the inner circle of the besieged city, it went straight to the west city.

At the head of Fanyang City, He Chang, Zhang Yan and others were already anxious, otherwise when they saw the battle flag waving, their hearts hung tightly when they landed, and the five hundred daring cavalry appeared.

Everyone present knew very well that destroying those stone cannons in the army of ten thousand horses was tantamount to taking chestnuts from the fire, even if the plan was successful, there were few who could come back alive.

He Chang's face was gloomy, and he knew that Qiu Bai had not followed his advice and had made the most risky move. However, the impression of Qiu Bai has changed dramatically in his heart. In the past, in the military camp outside the Guan, he only felt that Qiu Bai, who was ordered by Hedong Jiedu, was an incompetent person, until he experienced the battle to defend Fanyang, and he found that he did not fully see this person clearly.

Those who dare to die willingly are respectable warriors, although He Chang secretly hates the ruthless suppression of the Shenwu Army, but he has respect for Qiu Bai and his people.

"Qiu Changshi, isn't this a death?"

Suddenly, Zheng Jing's voice shouted out at an inopportune time, and an extremely strange scene appeared under Fanyang City, a large number of siege soldiers gathered within a mile of the city wall, taking turns to continue to pounce on the city wall. Nearly two miles away from these siege soldiers was the headquarters of the besieging rebels. Five hundred death cavalry were rampage between the two miles wide gap, and Shi Chaoyi's rebels did not react in time to the sudden change, so that Qiu Bai and the others could arrive at the established position unscathed.

At this time, the 500 death cavalry led by Qiu Bai was almost equivalent to being surrounded by ten thousand troops, perhaps because of the suddenness of the attack, in front of the public, Shi Chaoyi's rebels did not react for a long time.

More than a dozen stone cannons were located in the gap two miles wide, and the rebels of Shi Chaoyi did not send troops to protect them, because it was almost impossible for the defenders in the city to destroy them. What's more, the performance of the defenders is too wasteful, and in everyone's understanding, the strength of the defenders simply does not have this strength.

However, a miracle still appeared, and the five hundred daredevils were like a dagger that suddenly appeared, piercing deep into the heart of the besieging rebels.

Qiu Bai came from the Hedong Shenwu Army, and knew very well the structure of the stone cannon, a large siege machine, although most of them were made of wood mortise and tenon, but the key components were ropes and rubber bands, even if they could not destroy all the structures of the stone cannons, as long as these key components were destroyed, they would at least buy a day.

As the target got closer and closer, the palms of the hands holding the reins were already covered with cold sweat, he was nervous, he was excited, he was excited. He galloped through the army of ten thousand horses, without any fear or worry, all his attention was focused on the dozen monster-like stone cannons, and he had no extra energy to think about other things.

"Fire oil ready! Fire oil ready!"

Prior to this, the 500 cavalry had only undergone some simple training, that is, how to splash the oil on the target and how to ignite the oil safely. Shi Chaoyi's rebels failed to respond in time, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There were only a hundred and ten men in charge of the operation around the stone artillery, and they had almost no power to fight back in front of the cavalry, and only a burst of crossbow arrows shot them away, and then the fire oil was splashed on them, and the rockets followed, and the flames rose with black smoke.

After burning five in a row, Shi Chaoyi's rebels finally reacted, and a cavalry rushed out of the headquarters army and pounced like locusts.

On the city wall of Fanyang, the people watching the battle were more nervous than the people who were there, Zheng Jing was so frightened that his hands were covered with cold sweat, he couldn't understand what reason he had to take the risk as Qiu Bai, and now it seemed that even if they succeeded in burning all the stone cannons, it seemed that it was impossible to escape back with all the mustaches and tails.

Originally, Zheng Jing put a lot of energy on Qiu Bai, so that after the imperial army arrived in the future, he could say a few more good words for him. Now, that idea seems like a dream.

Only He Chang, holding the handle of the horizontal knife in his right hand, seemed to be able to breathe fire from his eyes.

"Point troops, support Qiu Changshi at any time!"

At this moment, he could never sit back and watch Qiu Bai be surrounded and wait for death, he had to do something. But this order was strongly opposed by Zhang Yan, in Zhang Yan's view, Qiu Bai's battle was an adventure of death and lifelessness, if he took the living force in the city, especially the veteran of a hundred battles under He Chang, it would be an irreparable loss to die more.

But He Chang is a very emotional person, he can't ignore his comrades who died in the army like this, and do nothing. While they were arguing, a weak, deep voice made them stop all the fighting.

"Qiu Bai died as he deserved, and then sent troops out, except for the vain death, nothing will help, and they will all guard their positions!"

Feng Changqing, with the support of his entourage, climbed the city wall slightly panting. At this time, the offensive and defensive battle of Fanyang City was in a state of stalemate, tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city, even if they sent troops and horses in the hope of frontal pinning, it was impossible to create a chance for Qiu Bai's 500 cavalry to break the siege. The only result was just the death of more than a thousand elites in vain, which Feng Changqing never wanted to see.

As the so-called Ci is not in charge of the troops, Feng Changqing has led the troops for many years, and he will never be influenced by emotions on the battlefield, which was the case in the past and is still the same!

He Chang was surprised that Dr. Feng came to the city wall in person when he was seriously ill, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was forced to retreat by Feng Changqing's eyes. In their current situation, He Chang will never be allowed to do this impolite behavior. How can there be a reason for a superior to support a lower person?

In fact, although Feng Changqing has been seriously ill and bedridden, he has never given up paying attention to the battle situation of defending the city. When he learned that Shi Chaoyi's rebels used stone cannons, he knew that the battle to defend the city would definitely change, and the previous deadlock would definitely be broken. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, one of the walls was bombarded by stone cannons, and although it was not completely collapsed, the psychological shock caused to the defenders was fatal.

Something must be done to counteract the shock caused to the defenders by the rebels of Shi Chaoyi's use of stone cannons, and if not handled properly, the morale of the defenders in the city could plummet. However, when Feng Changqing came to the city, he found that Qiu Bai had already done what he wanted to do but couldn't, as long as he succeeded in burning the stone cannon, even if the rebels could continue to build, the time he had won and the morale of the army had exceeded expectations.

However, this is a price to pay, the brave people sent must have no return, after all, Shi Chaoyi's rebels are not easy to follow, at first they may have taken advantage of the five hundred cavalry because of the suddenness of the raid and the poor internal coordination, but once they reacted, it was difficult to get lucky.

Therefore, Feng Changqing almost did not hesitate to stop He Chang's plan to send troops and horses out of the city to suppress the rebels. There are 100,000 Shi Chaoyi rebels gathered outside the city of Fanyang, and after ten days of arresting and surrendering, this number will definitely rise, and there are definitely no more than 10,000 people in the city who can go out of the city to fight in the field.

Seeing the cavalry rushing wildly, Qiu Bolema glanced back at Fan Yang, but when he saw the banner waving, he gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Speed up, burn one more stone cannon, and it will be safer to defend the city!"

When the tenth stone cannon was burned, the vanguard of the cavalry of the rebel army of Shi Chaoyi had already arrived, and the crossbows were whizzing and firing, and someone was hit by an arrow and fell from the horse. Qiu Bai did not back down because of this, but ordered the 500 cavalry to be divided into three teams, one team rushed forward to delay the offensive of Shi Chaoyi's cavalry, the second team quickly went around the flank to attack the cavalry vanguard, and the last team was responsible for burning all the intact stone cannons.

After the assignment, Qiu Bai rushed up with the first team of cavalry, he was originally in the Shenwu army to defend more and attack less, today the initiative to attack is abnormal, although it is impossible to be spared, but all the stone cannons are burned, it is considered complete.

He didn't understand why the Hedong Shenwu Army had not arrived in Fan Yang for a long time, but he knew that if Fan Yang was lost, everything he had planned before would be in vain. Once Shi Chaoyi enters Fanyang, he can let go of his hands and feet to integrate the rebels of various parts of Hebei, and then inherit the strength left by Shi Siming of An Lushan.

Once this is the case, the imperial court will send troops to quell the rebellion, and I don't know how much more the price will be paid! Qiu Bai is not a person who is afraid of death, but he is afraid that his death is worthless, if he loses the great opportunity to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, it is better to gamble his life!

Kill, kill, kill!

Hundreds of cavalry shouted together, and the crossbows fired a counterattack, and the offensive momentum of Shi Chaoyi's cavalry was obviously blocked. But this is only temporary, once most of Shi Chaoyi's cavalry rushes up, it is impossible to stop it with only a few hundred people!
