CHAPTER XXII

The situation on the battlefield has changed.

If one were to look at the battle from the air, one could see that the city of Silis, which was defended by Gernas, was being attacked from the north and south by the Yaqui army led by Vandalu and Toto; The Toto Yaki Army, which was besieging the city at the southern end, was being caught in the cavalry of Gernas and Li Tianhao; And Li Tianhao was sandwiched between the Toto Department and Ai Fujie's main formation. Several groups of men and horses fought to the death in Silis City, and the most dangerous of them was Li Tianhao's cavalry. Li Tianhao's subordinates were only more than 2,000, but they were surrounded by nearly 30,000 Yaji Legions, especially under the flank attack of the men and horses of the main formation led by Ai Fujie himself, the casualties gradually increased.

Li Tianhao knew that the situation was not good, so he took out his bow and arrow and shot it at Toto. It's a pity that Li Tianhao's arrow failed to hit the target this time, not because there was any deviation in the accuracy of the arrow, but because two Yaji generals had died under his arrows today, Toto's guards had already prepared, and as soon as they saw Li Tianhao stretching their bows and arrows, they immediately surrounded the shield array around the main general. Rao is like this, Li Tianhao's arrow still penetrated the shield, revealing most of the arrow. Seeing the arrow trembling to himself, Toto was also scared into a cold sweat, if it weren't for the shields of the guards, he was afraid that he would have become a dead man at this moment. Toto was intimidated by the ferocity of Li Tianhao's arrows, so he had to retreat backwards. But it was such a retreat that caused a slight delay in the command system, Li Tianhao saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately waved his troops towards Toto's headquarters and made a fierce assault, and suddenly Toto's part was killed, and Li Tianhao took the opportunity to completely break into Toto's array with the cavalry.

In this way, the cavalry was freed from the attack of Everger's main position, and Everger's men had to slow down when they tried to pursue but were blocked by the array of friendly troops. Li Tianhao, who had received this precious respite, was like a loach that drilled deeper and deeper, rushing all the way through Toto's army. It turned Toto's chain of command upside down.

Seeing that Toto's formation was scattered, he couldn't effectively cooperate with his own actions. Everger's eyes were burning with anxiety. This Li Tianhao actually took advantage of the mistakes of his allies and used the allies as a shield to block in front of him! Originally, if Toto could restore the command system, he would be able to encircle this cavalry, but now Toto's troops are in chaos, not only can't eat Li Tianhao, but also block his own troops from attacking Li Tianhao, which makes him not in a hurry!

At the same time, Gernas breathed a sigh of relief as the Yaqui Army's offensive against the city of Sillis eased. He observed that Li Tianhao's current situation was like walking a tightrope on top of an abyss, as long as the other party recovered slightly, Li Tianhao might fall into the encirclement of the enemy! And Li Tianhao did all this in order to ease the pressure on his side, so Gernas, who had a chance to rest, immediately ordered Tatar to send five hundred crossbow archers to the south wall to cooperate with Li Tianhao's actions to fire crossbow arrows. Thanks to this, the chaos of the Yaji army was expanded, and Li Tianhao's attack was able to proceed smoothly, and finally Li Tianhao's cavalry broke through from one side of the Yaji army and then from the other. Facing the Yaji army that was pursuing behind, Li Tianhao reined in his horse's head and let his subordinates pass first. Then he laughed loudly: "The dignified 30,000 Yaki army, let me kill from beginning to end, and I don't think your so-called courage and strength are just that!" People like you still want to attack the city? Eat dust after me! Hahaha"

These words made all the Yaji troops furious, and they roared and chased after Li Tianhao's cavalry.

"Stop! A sucker! That's what he deliberately provoked! Everger shouted at the top of his voice. But it didn't have much effect. In fact, he was also angry in his heart, but now he must suppress the anger in his heart and let the soldiers capture the city of Silis as soon as possible. Li Tianhao's purpose was to disrupt his own movements, and he had already accomplished this goal: the formation of the siege troops was a mess. It's not hard to restructure the array, but it's even harder to get the soldiers back in the way they started. It's evolving like this. The 30,000 Yaki army will slide into the abyss of destruction.

When Ai Fujie finally stopped the advance of the soldiers, and Toto reorganized the posture of the siege troops, Li Tianhao's cavalry appeared again. The cavalry were like wolves roaming around the flock, and as long as the Yaggi army had a siege move, they would put on a posture of attack, and when the Yaggi army wanted to attack the cavalry, the cavalry team immediately fled. Time was lost in this back and forth, the sun gradually sank in the west, and the fading light was like the fate of the Yakee Army, and the night stained the entire Yakee Army, and also stained their hearts.

When hunger first hit, the end of the Yakee Army began to come in earnest. Although Ai Fujie still organized many sieges, the physical strength of the Yaji army was worn out by hunger bit by bit, and the efficiency of the attack became worse and worse every time, and at this time, Li Tianhao's troops completely disappeared, which undoubtedly informed every Yaji soldier that they no longer posed any threat to Silis City. And as time passed, deserters from the Yaqui army began to appear - and since they couldn't take the city, it was better to find a way to survive than to starve to death. Everger killed a group of fleeing soldiers, but could not prevent more deserters. At this moment, not only Evger knew in his heart, but every Yaki soldier knew in his heart that they had lost. Now they only have the right to choose between fleeing and destroying, and no matter which choice they choose, the final result will be the total annihilation, because Li Tianhao, who is hidden in the mountains, will never let them go.

In just three days, more than 7,000 people fled from the Yaqui army. Relying on Epger's prestige and bravery, the rest of the soldiers did not leave him, which is enough to prove that Affger is a quite prestigious general, even in such a desperate situation, the soldiers still did not completely abandon this general. Unfortunately, he didn't have the magic to conjure food, and just as the soldiers' strength was running out with hunger, a strange sound came from the mountains and forests.

It was a horn blown out of a conch. It is easy to recognize precisely because it has a completely different sound from a normal horn. This is the signal for the general attack agreed upon by Li Tianhao and Gernas.

In fact, now is not the best time for a general attack, but Li Tianhao's military rations have also been exhausted, so this is the moment for the final attack. Hearing the call for a general attack, Gernas in the city immediately ordered Dara and Leo to march out of the city with six thousand men. At the same time, Li Tianhao's cavalry team appeared from the mountains and forests again and launched an attack on the Yaji army together. (To be continued......)
