Chapter Ninety-Nine: Reinforcements Arrive
"Chen Hai, this dog thief, why is he so hot, where does he look like he has just stepped into the Spirit Clearing Realm, is there a mistake in the news?"
The black-robed man holding the thundercloud banner suppressed the qi and blood floating in his chest, retreated to meet with the other two black-robed people in a corner in the north of the city, and asked in a suppressed voice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The news will not be wrong, this son was abolished in the Yao clan at the beginning, all the veins were destroyed, all the memories related to cultivation were erased, and Chen Lie, the dog thief, must have used all the treasures on him before he re-entered the realm of re-entering the spirit realm. Rebuilding the spiritual veins with many rare and miraculous medicines that have been difficult to come out of a hundred years, although this guy has opened up the four-vein spiritual sea, but its strength is much stronger than that of martial arts in the same realm, which is not surprising. Another black-robed man said.
"You said it's not surprising, but it's light, now that the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine is not in Chishan City, who is going to take down Chen Hai, the dog thief?" The black-robed man holding the thundercloud banner said resentfully with the damage to his magic weapon.
"What's the use of saying this, the soldiers and horses of the left battalion can't be damaged here, and now we must withdraw from Chishan City and retreat from Xiling!" said the black-robed man at the head calmly.
"Many of the fleeing generals of the Hexiang Army and the clan leaders who are blocking Chishan City have already decided to send elite descendants to attack the South City Gate, maybe it won't take half an hour to take down the South City Gate, why do we have to withdraw from Xiling at this time......
"Chen Lie, the cavalry camp sent by the dog thief, has bypassed Tianjiazhai, and in one more hour, we will be able to rush to Chishan City, even if we break through the south gate within half an hour, we must disperse and retreat into Xiling, so as to avoid being surrounded and suppressed," the black-robed man led by him said decisively, "It is not easy for Lord Sacrificial Wine to pull out thousands of soldiers and horses in Yulong Mountain, and they can't all be lost to the north of Hechuan Ridge." The Hexiang Army doesn't look like it can achieve great things, and after this defeat, it will definitely hurt its vitality, and our brothers and sisters will also withdraw from the Hexiang Army!"
***********************
When the pressure on the southern gate was at its highest, a detachment of deserters abandoned all their baggage and withdrew from the northern city, and soon fled to the mountains to the west of the city. This scene naturally attracted Chen Hai's attention, and they also noticed that the black-robed people who had galloped into Chishan City before also withdrew along with this army of nearly a thousand soldiers and horses.
At the beginning of Huanglongyuan, Yulong Mountain, I saw the figure of the black-robed man in the homeless rebels, and then the homeless rebels joined the Hexiang Army, and at this time, I saw the black-robed people and a rout fleeing to Xiling again, Chen Hai couldn't help but suspect that the rebellion of the homeless people in Yulong Mountain at the beginning, and the forbidden medicine that appeared in Yulongshan at the beginning, had a great relationship with the mysterious black-robed people, but he had no time to take care of these at this time.
When many fugitive generals and clan leaders who fled south sent elite descendants and decided to tear open the southern city gate, the sudden withdrawal of this integrated deserter naturally greatly shook their confidence.
This also allowed Chen Hai and them to withstand the impact of the rout again, and retreated to the city covered in blood to rest.
At the twilight of the four times, the east wing cavalry battalion converged with more than 3,000 cavalry, under the leadership of Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai, Zhao Ruhui and others, crossed the Xiangshan Mountains and entered the territory of Chishan County.
At this time, the rout and escape soldiers who were blocked in Chishan City were already panicking to the extreme, and some people collapsed in confidence, withdrew from the north city, and fled to the mountains on both wings, but there were also people who rushed to the south gate like grasping the last straw.
When a large number of elite cavalry appeared in the field of vision, most of the Minyong and Chishan County defenders who were still in the dark also completely collapsed, Chen Hai could only lead the Kou Nu, who had suffered more than half of the casualties, to retreat to the city tower, and did his best to ensure that the hidden soldiers on the east wing, where the military attachés' homes were detained, were not affected by the rout.
Although they finally forced the Konu soldiers away from the city gate, they could only let out angry and desperate wails when they lifted the curtain and saw that the city gate had been blocked by more than a dozen loose carriages and a large number of broken wood, masonry and stone.
Some people vented their anger on Chen Hai and them, but more people fled like headless flies.
Three thousand elite cavalry has been covered like a torrent, except for a very small number of people with a foundation of cultivation, who can cross the seven or eight meters high city wall and flee south, most of the defeated soldiers and refugees, except to be captured, what choice can they have?
War halberds are like forests, swords fly like snow, heads unwilling to surrender are cut off, and three thousand elite horsemen frantically harvest the lives of those who resist.
Some clan leaders saw that the general trend had turned, and they were unwilling to abandon their clan children and families and flee south alone, so they could only retreat to the corners of the streets and alleys first, and were silently ready to surrender.
Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai, and Zhao Ruhui ran around the snowy mountains for a day, and the horses were tired, but they reorganized and appeared in the north of Chishan City, and the will to resist of the routed soldiers had collapsed.
Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai, and Zhao Ruhui controlled Beicheng extremely smoothly, and a total of hundreds of heads were cut off, and they were all lowered, and they were really not happy, they climbed the Beicheng Tower, and saw the crowd and carriages and horses all over the city, and they were all stunned there.
They didn't expect that there would be so many defeated soldiers and refugees who were like Chen Hai using a big net, all in Chishan City.
"This kid, this kid!" Li Xianghai smashed his fists excitedly, not knowing what to say.
When he first came out of Yulong Mountain, Chen Hai was only rescued in the chaos, even if his performance was better, he was covered up by his humble cultivation, and when Li Xianghai fought for Chen Hai's first merit, he also quarreled with others and blushed and had a thick neck, but he didn't expect that more than a year later, Chen Hai would bring them such a surprise.
Li Xianghai has always hesitated in his heart about whether to be completely tied to Chen Lie, after the fiasco of Yulong Mountain, he seems to be reinstated, but the Li clan has taken out too many resources to settle the negative impact, and at this time he needs to form an alliance with a stronger strong man and restore his strength.
At this moment, Li Xianghai had already made up his mind, Chen Lie's ability to step into the Dao Dan realm at any time was one factor, and what was in front of him was another factor, all kinds of signs showed that Chen Lie paid enough attention to this nephew.
*****************************
The sporadic resistance was ruthlessly crushed and strangled, and for those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai, and Zhao Ruhui also tried to appease them after collecting their armor and magic weapons.
Separated and disposed of the defeated soldiers, clan children and private soldiers, and fleeing people, Chishan City seemed to have become a big prison, Zhang Huaiyu and their manpower were also limited, and they had to guard against the Hexiang army that would kill the horse pistol, and they could not relax their vigilance, so they could only wait for the main force to arrive and take over, so that they could do further disposal......
Zhang Huaiyu assigned Chen Yu to be responsible for the collection and inventory of the soldiers' armor, magic weapons and the property of the clans that fled south.
Not to mention the rout, except for armor, horses and a small number of magic weapons, there is nothing to be greedy for, but many clans that fled south have brought all the wealth accumulated by generations or more than ten generations on the road.
According to the rules, except for a few tributes to the generals of the capital to show their allegiance, these are the trophies that can be privately distributed among the soldiers and horses of the eastern flank, and these trophies are much richer than the so-called war exploit rewards.
Chen Yu is not only one of the commanders of the cavalry battalion, but also the descendant of Chen Lie, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the East Wing, at this time, of course, he has the right to count the spoils, but Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai and other major generals of the East Wing will also send people to participate.
This is also the default rule in the army, and it cannot all be included in the pocket of the commander alone, nor can everyone fight for the spoils of war in a chaotic manner, and become a mess of sand and chaos in front of the enemy.
The main force of the cavalry battalion was stationed inside and outside the North City Tower, and at this time it could not be relaxed, and Zhao Ruhui and Chen Quan led 500 horsemen through the city to take over the defense of the South City Tower.
Chen Qing, Su Ziling, Ge and others, followed Zhao Ruhui through the rout of the soldiers kneeling in Chishan City, this battle they won too easily, and when they arrived in front of the Nancheng Tower, they saw the mountains of corpses piled up in the ditch on both sides, the arrows stuck in the ground like hedgehogs, and countless broken knives and halberds, only to know that this battle was not easy to win.
They couldn't even figure it out, how could Chen Hai's subordinates be able to support them to the end?
How exactly did Chen Hai do this?
Chen Qing couldn't figure it out, Su Ziling couldn't figure it out, and Ge Tong couldn't figure it out.
Chen Hai, Wu Meng, and Zhou Jun are only martial arts cultivators in the Spirit Realm, and there are more than 60 people left, including Shen Kun and Zhao Shan, even if they all have the cultivation foundation of the Xuan Realm, they can't stop so many rout soldiers and escapees.
Seeing the land of wolves and dead bodies downstairs in Nancheng, Ge Tong and the others also knew that those clans who fled south could not be captured obediently.
They didn't know that although half of the people on both sides of the city tower were ornaments, the rout and escape were not clear, and they were deterred by two or three thousand people and the defenders of Chishan County, so the rout could only concentrate on attacking the city gate, which made Chen Hai concentrate the limited elite forces tightly and use them.
In the later period, the local military attache of Chishan County, whose family was taken hostage, coerced some of the people to go to the city to help in the war, which also played a key role.
These people didn't seem to have much combat power, and they were defeated more than a dozen times in total, and finally left more than 300 corpses, but these people covered the flanks of the Kounu soldiers, and also made the tactics arranged by Chen Hai in front of the city tower more flexible and changeable.
Surrendering Ding Shuang in advance, and with Ding Shuang's assistance, detaining the military attaché's wife and children as hostages can be said to be the top priority of the success of this strategy.
Ge Tong, Chen Qing, and Su Ziling didn't know these yet, so they naturally felt that everything was incredible.
Chen Hai sat in front of a severed wood to bandage his wounds, his clothes and armor were already tattered, and he didn't know how many wounds had been added to his body, bandaged like a zombie, and the scars left on his face in the battles of Jade Dragon Mountain had finally faded, and at this time, more than a dozen bloody wounds with deep bones were turned out.
Sixty slaves, less than half of them are left, and many of them are covered in blood, although this battle was fiercely defended, and the casualties can be said to be extremely heavy, but they are all elated, and they don't care about life and death, seeing Chen Qing and Su Ziling's extremely beautiful faces, they also looked at it unscrupulously.
Seeing Zhao Ruhui and them coming, Chen Hai said: "Uncle Zhao, I can't stand up and salute your old man, just come here, and the Nancheng Tower will be yours to take over the defense," and pointed to Ding Shuang behind him and other dozens of local military attaches in Chishan County, and said, "They surrendered to me last night, and they also made indispensable contributions and miraculous feats for this battle, and they are all my subordinates at this time, and I ask Zhao Shibo to appoint ...... with confidence."
"Okay!" Zhao Ruhui saw that Chen Hai was able to subdue the local military attache in advance, and believed that it was also the key to successfully winning the great victory, so he naturally would not treat Ding Shuang and these people badly.
He looked at Chen Hai and the hidden soldiers behind them, there were still many women and children who were looking out in horror, seeing that these women and children were extraordinary, and guessed that Chen Hai might have used these women and children to be taken hostage, so he forced Ding Shuang and other Chishan County military attaches to surrender him.
Soldiers fight against each other, and they are always unscrupulous, Zhao Ruhui will only secretly praise Chen Hai for daring to use strange tricks, but he doesn't care about what else he has, but it's a pity that Chen Hai was born in the sect, not a child of the Hanmen, otherwise the Hanmen family may still have a chance to rise in the Taiwei Sect and the Wuwei Army!
Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Shen Kun, Zhao Shan and others were all hit hard, and at this time, their essence and true yuan were exhausted, especially the will to support them to fight to the end was scattered, so they could only sit and salute Zhao Ruhui and them.
