Chapter 112: Sudden Change in the Storm (4)

Thundered~

"Run!"

In Changshui City, outside the huge camp of Hou Dan's Chengjia Army, Zhao Yun of the white horse and silver spear gave an order, and the 10,000 flying feather cavalry under his command quickly formed a scattered formation and drew bows and arrows around the camp of the Chengjia army.

Woo Woo Woo ~ Dense arrows poured towards the camp of the Chengjia army like buzzing locusts, and under the light of the fire, a rain of white arrows obscured the sky of the front camp.

Ahhh

Sharp arrows pierced the bodies of countless soldiers of the Cheng Family Army, and a puff of blood bloomed in the night.

The speed of the 10,000 flying feather cavalry was too fast, and when the rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke up the large camp of the Cheng family army, they were already within the range of the bow and arrow of the flying feather cavalry.

"Sword and shield hand, vertical shield!"

Hou Dan, who ran out of the camp, looked at the soldiers who fell in pieces under the rain of flying feather arrows, and hurriedly organized the sword and shield hands to come forward to block the attack.

Bell bell bell ~

The sword and shield hands that formed the shield wall advanced slowly, and the dense arrows struck the shield wall with a crisp and aggressive sound.

The Flying Feather Cavalry is composed of light cavalry, and the arrows used are mostly light arrows, which are not penetrating enough to penetrate the opponent's shield array, so that Dehou Dan and his troops can barely withstand the arrow rain attack of the Flying Feather Cavalry.

"Quick! Fast! ”

Seeing that the sword and shield soldiers withstood the attack of the arrow rain of the Flying Feather Cavalry, some of the soldiers of the Cheng Family Army who had escaped also gathered behind the shield formation formed by the sword and shield soldiers.

"Change the gun!"

After dozens of waves of continuous shooting, seeing that the rain of arrows could no longer cause great damage to the Chengjia army, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he ordered decisively.

"Kill!"

All the flying feather cavalry quickly replaced the longbows in their hands with sharp cavalry spears, formed a conical formation and began to attack the Cheng family army.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A group of flying feather cavalry launched an attack on the shield array composed of sword and shield hands, and the sound of collision, neighing, and screams were mixed together, and under the rush on three sides, the fast-running flying feather cavalry quickly chiseled through the shield array temporarily formed by the sabers and shield men of the family, and was divided by the continuous influx of flying feather cavalry.

"Quick! Top! ”

The advance of the Flying Feather Cavalry failed to break Hou Dan's fighting spirit, and seeing that the sword and shield array had been broken, he immediately began to organize the fleeing soldiers to surround the scattered Flying Feather Cavalry.

In the melee of the night, the light cavalry, which had lost its impact power, did not have an advantage in the face of the larger number of Cheng Jia's army, and as a steady stream of Cheng Jia soldiers were thrown into the fight, the battle began to fall into a stalemate.

Boom!

Just when the fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, a signal fireworks burst into brilliant light in the night sky.

Thundered~

Kill!

After a moment of splendor, behind the Hou Dan army, who was struggling to resist the attack of the Flying Feather Cavalry, a black heavy cavalry swooped down the dirt slope behind the camp with the momentum that crushed everything.

"Run!"

"Run!"

The soldiers of the Hou Danjun army, who were attacked by the enemy on their backs, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and one by one the wolves rushed and began to have a large-scale rout, but in the end they could only become the target of the slaughter of the two battalions of cavalry of the Chinese army.

On the second day, the sky was already bright, and the scorching sun of midsummer shone on the ground outside Chen Shicheng, reflecting countless bright lights on the dense army formation of the Chengjia army.

Crunch~

Amid the rolling sound of the axles, dozens of siege ladders slowly rolled out in front of the military formation, and 20 phalanxes of 100 people on both sides followed the siege ladders slowly until they stopped 300 meters away from the city wall.

On the tower of Chen Shicheng, countless defender soldiers dragged their tired bodies to the battlements, bows and arrows stood with bows and arrows in their hands on the arrow tower, rows of young and strong people continued to carry rolling logs and stones up the city wall, and the two armies were busy making pre-battle preparations.

"Your Majesty, the siege army in front of you is already in place!"

After completing the army's preparations for the siege, Gongsun Guang wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and bowed down to tell Gongsun.

"Yan Cen, Hou Dan, they don't have any news yet?"

Looking at the east and west sides of Chen Shicheng from a distance, there was still no movement in the distance, Gongsun Shu frowned and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the two cities of Dongshan and Changshui are dozens of miles away from here, and the scouts may have been delayed on the road!"

The low tone foreshadowed the dissatisfaction in Gongsun Shu's heart, and Gongsun Guang cautiously excused the scout who reported the news.

Yesterday evening, Gongsun Guang sent scouts to convey Gongsun Shu's orders to Yan Cen and Hou Dan. However, the scouts who went to the arraignment have not returned until now.

"Then wait!"

Gongsun Shu's brows jumped slightly, and he waved his hand with an unkind expression and ordered, the abnormality of Yan Cen and Hou Dan made him faintly uneasy in his heart.

"Yes!"

Gongsun Guang respectfully received the order.

The sun slowly began to rise in the east, and the air gradually climbed with it.

"Your Majesty, one blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Now it's a hot day, and the army has been leading but not starting, I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the army! ”

Half an hour later, when the armor on most of the soldiers had been roasted, Li Xiong looked at the military formation that had already appeared in some turmoil, and said to Gongsun Shu.

In the middle of summer, the temperature has risen to more than 30 degrees Celsius, and people's physical strength and heat resistance are limited.

"Attack!"

Gongsun Shu retracted his gaze and ordered with a wave of one hand.

"Kill!"

Dozens of Chengjia army formations followed the siege ladder to attack Chen Shicheng, and rows of Chengjia soldiers braved the rain of arrows with shields in their hands to attack the city wall.

The sword light and sword shadow, the hissing sound shook the sky, and one after another the army formation of the family was sent to the battlefield, and they attacked Chen Shicheng one after another.

Half an hour later, seeing that thousands of soldiers were filled in, Chen Shicheng still showed no signs of breaking down, Gongsun Shu pulled out the long sword at his waist and prepared to order the whole army to attack.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

"Report! General Yancen urgently report! ”

"Report! General Hou Dan urgently report! ”

Just as Gongsun Shu raised his long sword, two embarrassed scouts of the Chengjia Army stumbled towards the Chinese army almost simultaneously.

"What?"

Gongsun Shu's breathing suddenly tightened, and the raised long sword was quietly withdrawn, looking at the two scouts and asking nervously.

"Report to Your Majesty, last night the cavalry of the Southern King and the Northern Army raided the camp of General Yancen in Chengdong Village, General Yancen was captured, and the 20,000 army was annihilated!"

The two scouts glanced at each other, and the scout who had gone to the Yancen Department cried back.

"What?"

On the war horse, Gongsun Shuyan's breathing stopped instantly, his eyes changed, his body shook for a while, and he almost didn't lift it up and fell to the ground in one breath.

The bad premonition has come true!

The air at the scene seemed to have frozen, and there was no sound, and the expressions on everyone's faces stayed at that moment.

Can't believe it!

"What about you?"

The scout knelt on the ground deeply, not daring to make a sound, and the silent acquiescence confirmed this fact, Gongsun Shu took a deep breath and spoke to the other scout again.

"Return, return, return Your Majesty, last night General Hou Dan's headquarters was raided by the cavalry of the Southern Wang Army, General Hou Dan was killed, and the army was annihilated!"

Under the gaze of Gongsun Shu's piercing red eyes, the scout soldier trembled and reported.

"Poof!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as the scout's words fell, Gongsun Shu finally couldn't hold back any longer, his face turned pale in an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fainted.

"Order to withdraw!"

Surrounded by a group of generals, Gongsun Shu, who woke up after a while, ordered in a hoarse voice.

Bell bell bell ~

"Withdraw!"

The sound of gold sounded, and the soldiers of the Chengjia Army who were attacking Chen Shicheng retreated like a tide.

"Kill!"

Just when tens of thousands of Chengjia troops were busy retreating, tens of thousands of Southern King cavalry, led by Hu Luguang, Zhao Yun and others, launched an attack on them from the east and west sides at the same time.

On August 4, the third year of the Great Controversy, 20,000 cavalry of the Northern Army under the command of Hu Luguang, the general of the Southern Wang Army, and 20,000 cavalry of the Chinese Army led by Zhao Yun and Huang Jingtian, launched a surprise attack on Yancen and Hou Dan's two Chengjia armies at the same time, Yancen was killed, Hou Dan was captured, and the 40,000 Chengjia army was annihilated.

On the second day, the news of the destruction of the two armies of Yancen and Hou Dan came into the army, Gongsun Shu fainted with blood, and the army hurriedly retreated north, and was attacked by the two wings of 40,000 cavalry led by Hu Luguang, Zhao Yun, Huang Jingtian and others, and the 50,000 Chengjia army was routed all the way, almost completely lost, until it was supported by Tian Rong and others in Yankou City before stabilizing its position.

The war, almost instantaneously, turned to the side that was unfavorable to Gongsun Shu.
