Chapter 1240: The Middle Way and the Block
Chen Xiufeng stood on the city wall and watched the cavalry silently leave the city. The horses' hooves were covered with soft cloths, and they were trampled on the ground without much noise, and all the horses were covered with horse chews, and not a single horse could neigh.
His Majesty personally led the team to attack, such a result was naturally unexpectedly good for Chen Xiufeng, His Majesty finally mustered up the courage, and a grandmaster-level martial arts master joined the assault team, and naturally his chances of winning were greatly increased.
It's just His Majesty's final mobilization, which makes Chen Xiufeng feel a little ominous. His Majesty actually opened the treasury and took out all the gold and silver stored in it and rewarded the soldiers who went out on the expedition, which should be regarded as boosting morale, but emptying the treasury at one time was a bit too much, and the reward was too heavy in Chen Xiufeng's opinion. Although it is said that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, if this battle is won, what will happen to the future of Daqin?
But His Majesty didn't seem to think about it so much, he was so excited, so excited, and swept away the decadent appearance before.
It is also a strange decision for His Majesty to let himself stay in the city to command other armies, it should be said that he is the most familiar with the Thunder Army, if he has his own central coordination of various departments, I believe that the Thunder Army will be able to exert greater combat effectiveness, but His Majesty left himself and some of the backbone generals of the Thunder Army in the city to direct other troops to attack the Ming army besieging the city in the early hours of the morning to contain these troops, and not give them the opportunity to return to the Chinese army.
Chen Xiufeng was puzzled, but he couldn't say it, he couldn't tell His Majesty that he commanded the army by himself, and he was stronger than Your Majesty, right?
The last of the cavalry vanished into the night, gradually merging with the darkness. Chen Xiufeng retracted his gaze and looked back at the city, under the city, countless soldiers were fully armed, holding their weapons and sitting on the ground.
Like Chen Xiufeng, they are all waiting for the moment when the morning dawn comes, when all the main gates of Yongdu, which have been closed for months, will be opened, and all the soldiers in Yongdu will step out of the city wall and fight to the death with the Ming army outside the city.
Like all the soldiers, Chen Xiufeng also sat down cross-legged, drew his saber, and slowly wiped it. The battle here is actually not important, you only need to drag these Ming troops besieging the city, as for victory or defeat, it is not of much significance, as long as the 45,000 Thunder Army led by His Majesty the Emperor can defeat the Ming army and capture their logistics baggage camp, this big battle, the victory will be Daqin.
Twenty miles away from Yongdu City, is Yang Zhi's new second battalion station. In the past month, Yang Zhi has been very unhappy. First, it was because he didn't catch the first batch of tasks to attack Yongdu City, and was deployed here as a second-line army, and second, he originally wanted to pull the horse monkey to set a trap to catch some gains, but as a result, the fart didn't wait.
There are big loopholes in Chen Zhihua's deployment, which Yang Zhi saw very clearly, and repeatedly reported his views to Chen Zhihua, the gap between the siege troops is too wide, and second-line troops like them should have been filled between the two siege troops to fill this gap, but now they have been pulled away from the front-line troops so far, this is not a good thing, and it is entirely possible for the Qin army to intersperse.
Although most of the soldiers in Yongdu City are vulnerable, their Thunder Army is elite, and they are all cavalry, and they are extremely mobile. If they can send out thousands of troops, why can't they send more?
With this idea, he pulled the horse monkey who had just made a mistake and set a trap in this direction for a long time, he couldn't move the station casually, but the horse monkey was a cavalry, a mobile combat unit.
In Yang Zhi's opinion, as long as the generals in Yongdu City are not stupid, they will definitely come out to find opportunities.
However, he worked hard with the horse monkey for more than half a month, but he didn't catch anything, it seems that except for the Qin cavalry of more than 1,000 people who attacked the horse monkey last time, the rest of the Qin people decided to retreat in the city and not move.
In the end, the horse monkey was transferred to a piece of paper by an order, and only Yang Zhi was left unwilled, still holding on to the mind of waiting for the rabbit. He didn't have anything to do here, so he could find something to do for the soldiers under his command, otherwise if he continued to work like this, the soldiers' will to fight would decline and their emotions would relax.
"General, the enemy is coming!" A lieutenant ran into Yang Zhi's camp and shouted. Mingdi, Mingdi, Mingdi."
Yang Zhi became excited all of a sudden, after working hard for so long, has the opportunity finally come? He rushed out of the tent, and immediately inside the camp, the sound of the trumpet sounded, and groups of soldiers rushed out of the tent.
Yang Zhi's police post, the scout has been set up ten miles away, as soon as the enemy is found, it will be Pegasus to report, only in the case of a particularly critical situation, will the sound of the probe be fired.
"Get into position and get ready for battle!" He roared.
The position has been set up a long time ago. Every night, half of the soldiers were stationed on the position, and the other half rested. In this way, the entire new second battalion has the fastest response capability.
All the soldiers rushed to the position not far away, and at the same time, one after another chirped into the sky from afar, and it was getting closer and closer.
Looking at the continuous Mingdi, Yang Zhi's face couldn't help but look a little difficult.
The first light rose from the horizon, and the light was projected to the west from behind Yang Zhi, and the darkness in front of him was swept away.
In front of them were their own scouts, and behind them, there was no end in sight to the endless cavalry of the Qin State.
"it!" He whispered in his heart.
Like him, all the soldiers of the new second battalion in the position were stunned, there were thousands of cavalry, all over the mountains, more than 10,000 cavalry, boundless, and now all the soldiers were in the sight of all the soldiers, all of them were cavalry, and the distance in front was not far from them, but they had not yet seen the end of the back.
Yang Zhi knew that the cavalry of Yongdu City poured out. It's tens of thousands of fucking cavalry. He wanted to catch a relatively strong mouse, but now he is a strong tiger, and now it is not a question of whether he can kill others, but whether he can save himself.
The Thunder Army in Yongdu City poured out, naturally not for him, the new second battalion, their target must be Shuanglian City, the Chinese army battalion and the logistics battalion there.
"Yang Sanmei, Yang Sanmei!" He shouted.
A female general flashed out from behind." You, ride a fast horse, go to Shuanglian City as fast as possible, and tell Chen Zhihua that the Thunder Army has come to raid our lair, and I can't stand it for long here, no, I can't stand it at all. Go ahead."
"Got it!" Yang Sanmei knew that the situation was critical, so she didn't say anything, turned around and got on the horse, whipped her horse, and ran madly in the direction of Shuanglian City.
"Prepare for battle!" Seeing Yang Sanmei go away, Yang Zhi pulled out the wide black sword on his back and strode to the forefront of the position. Behind him, Thunderstorm and other generals followed him closely.
"Thunderbolt!" The black sword had just been raised, and it fell violently.
The iron bullets that didn't have time to burn red were directly thrown out by the throwing arm, drawing an arc in the air and flying towards the rushing cavalry.
"Crossbow!"
Thick crossbow arrows flew out with a screeching sound.
Whether it is iron bullets or crossbow arrows, they all open up alleys among the rushing cavalry, but these alleys opened out, even if they are filled with more cavalry, at this time, Yang Zhi only hates that the weapons of his new second battalion are too few.
If you are too careless, you should dig deep trenches, build breastwalks, and set up more obstacles. But who would have thought that the enemy would pour out of the nest, didn't Chen Zhihua say that the Thunder Army of the Qin State would never come out? If they come out, then Yongdu City will inevitably be unable to defend it, and now it's okay, the enemy has come out, but he has become the first unlucky guy.
"Ballista!" With a stomach full of resentment, Yang Zhi howled again. The crossbow machine at the forefront of the line roared angrily.
Then, Yang Zhi's entire position was overwhelmed by the rushing cavalry.
The galloping war horses rushed over with rain-down crossbow arrows, even though they were full of crossbow arrows, but the excellent armor of the Thunder Army still made these people not completely killed after being hit by countless crossbow arrows, they controlled the war horses with their only remaining consciousness, and crashed into them fiercely.
With a loud noise, one ballista after another was knocked away, and the forward position was shattered in an instant.
After the crossbow, rows of spearmen struggled to set up their spears, spears pierced into the rushing horses, the guns broke, the horses fell, the clever soldiers discarded the spears in their hands at this moment, picked up the ring knife inserted in their side, and pounced on the cavalry who fell to the ground, and the reaction was a little slower, and the arms were broken in that instant.
The Thunder Army's attack momentum was only halted after three platoons of pikemen were rushed, but by this time, the new second battalion had already lost almost a quarter.
Yang Zhi's heart is dripping blood. Because he paid such a great price, but more of the Thunder Cavalry was like a flood, and after touching his reef, they split in two, diverted from the left and right, and rolled in the direction of the Twin Cities, and only one of them was left to deal with him.
He saw the banner of the Chinese army fluttering in the Qin army, and saw the guy in the golden armor under the banner, it was Ma Yue, the emperor of the Qin State.
Emperor Qin actually led his troops out of the city in person, this is a desperate attack.
Let's hope the Twin Cities can withstand their attacks, otherwise it will be a bad thing.
Yang Zhi just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, at the moment he couldn't care about what happened to Shuanglian City, he had to deal with the enemy in front of him before he could talk about anything else.
He roared and galloped forward, and as he walked, a spear with a handle fell to the ground, and a broadsword flew up from the ground, and flew with him towards the enemy horseman.
