Chapter 185 The Battle of Banquan (Part 6)

With the surprise attack strategy of infiltration, Lin Yuan successfully recovered his main city, Yang Zhai City, at a very low price.

This city is the largest settlement in the Shanbei Plain, and it is also the fortress that Lin Yuan has poured a lot of effort into, this settlement can go straight to the northwest desert to the west, and to the east, it can run through the entire plain, and there are dangerous mountains and moats in the north and south as barriers, which can be described as a traffic artery that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, taking this place allowed Lin Yuan to finally breathe a sigh of relief and bring back the inferior situation.

At the same time, the successful recovery of Yang Zhai City greatly boosted the morale of the people of the Yan tribe, and everyone bowed and worshipped, regarding Lin Yuan as the undefeated god of war.

Lin Yuan decided to take this opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the Central Plains clans in one fell swoop.

When he had just returned here from the Western Regions with his troops, he had insufficient troops and did not understand the situation in the Central Plains, so he could only adopt the strategy of trade diplomacy to unite all ethnic groups in the Central Plains and unite with the outside world.

However, the experience of being attacked this time made Lin Yuan completely unwilling to win over these small tribes, and he understood that for these primitive people, there were not too many moral constraints, and for them, the immediate interests were the most important, that is, to quickly gain control, conquer them with violence, and realize the unification of the Central Plains.

The next day, as soon as the sky was dark, the gate of Yangzhai City suddenly opened, and several members of the Vulcan Sect on horseback quickly disappeared into the vast plain in the early morning mist.

At noon, Yu Zha slowly appeared around Yangzhai City with his cavalry regiment, and his Saba tribesmen did not participate in last night's battle, but in the camp not far from the suburbs, together with Jiu Yao, using the bronze weapons brought out from Nanshan, his Sabah cavalry upgraded their weapons.

According to Lin Yuan's instructions, Jiu Yao replaced the giant stone axes used by the cavalry with bronze giant axes, and equipped each Sabah cavalry warrior with cooked cowhide chest armor covered with thin bronze sheets, and even wrapped thick cooked cowhide on the horse's legs to enhance the horse's battlefield survivability.

After the upgrade, the Sabah cavalry, the combat effectiveness has increased greatly, there is a Sabah cavalry holding a huge bronze battle axe, curiously at a small tree to split, the small tree should be broken, the Sabah cavalry was surprised to see that the battle axe in the hand actually did not have the slightest damage, stayed for a long time, and then happily put the battle axe to the mouth and kissed non-stop, one by one shouted to kill back to the battlefield, to find the Huang family for revenge.

The Sabah cavalry was already in high spirits.

However, Lin Yuan gave a clear order not to participate in the battle for the capture of the city at night, because the cavalry was not good at street fighting in narrow settlements, where the Assassins and infantry were the domain, and only on the plains could the cavalry's rapid movement advantage be fully displayed.

Under Lin Yuan's order, these tall Sabah cavalry slept soundly all night, recuperated their spirits, and at dawn, they received orders from Yangzhai City, and everyone quickly lined up in a neat team and slowly marched towards the east of the plain.

After saying goodbye to Jiu Yao, Zha led the cavalry regiment, trotting all the way, galloping on the field, along the way, the occasional encounter with other farmers looked sideways, and some were even frightened by the earth-shattering hooves of the cavalry, and immediately turned around and fled.

When the first rays of morning light shone on the eyes of Yu Zha, the cavalry battle group led by him had approached the nearest settlement to Yangzhai City, which was a tribe that called itself the Gram people, and its strength was neither high nor low among the tribes in the Central Plains.

At this time, there were no more people around this small settlement, even the slaves who usually used stone axes to plow in the land were nowhere to be seen, and a cold wind blew, revealing a hint of coolness.

He noticed that behind the spiked fence of the settlement, there was a crowd of people, and it seemed that the Croats had known about the arrival of the Yan cavalry in advance, so the other party was ready for battle.

It's no wonder that in this broad daylight, with such a fanfare army advancing, the other party must have been on guard for a long time, Yu Zha couldn't help frowning, he actually knew that this would be the result, but because of Lin Yuan's direct order in this matter, he didn't ask much, and his long-term trust in Lin Yuan made him resolutely carry out Lin Yuan's order.

When the soldiers approached the city, the orderly commander's subordinates, besieging the city, shouting, and throwing stones at each other were all standard procedures, and no one made further actions.

Because of the current situation, whether it is the attacker or the defender, if they rashly attack, they will often encounter immeasurable losses.

Seeing that the stalemate was going to continue like this, Yu Zha's heart was calculating, either waiting for the reinforced spearmen sent by Yang Zhai Cheng to forcibly attack, or waiting until it was dark.

He clenched the battle axe in his hand, he was desperate to test the power of his latest bronze weapon, this stalemate was the last thing he was used to, he didn't like to wait, but he had to obey orders, which made him very uncomfortable......

Just when he was tangled, suddenly, he found a puff of green smoke coming out of the opposite city, and then he vaguely heard some shouts of killing, and then the figures behind the walled walls of the other party instantly panicked.

"Everyone, be careful!" As soon as he pulled the reins, his horse neighed, and the cavalry around him raised their battle axes.

There is a case on the other side......

But...... This situation seems a little strange......

The cavalry obviously did not charge, but there was a strange shouting of killing in the walled city......

Worm couldn't help frowning, what's the situation?

While arranging for his subordinates to carefully prepare for battle, he arranged for the sentries to make a detour to a hillside to the west of the walled city, and after looking at it, he rushed back.

"What the hell is going on inside?" Zara asked with a frown.

"Smoke, Chief! It's on fire, and it seems like there's somewhere to ...... Belch...... Also, the people inside seem to be ...... It's like they're at war with each other......"

The sentry said anxiously.

Raza frowned...... Said to himself: What are you doing? Got into a fight by yourself??

Just as he was hesitating whether to take advantage of the situation to attack, suddenly a figure rolled down from the fence of the other party, and then with a few cheers, the city gate opened with a bang.

Cavalry regiments put up their weapons on alert.

However, the people who came out did not have the weapons, and he noticed that those who came out of the city were dressed in tattered linen clothes, and they were holding a linen rag with a flame drawn on it, which looked like a Yan character from a distance......

"Vulcan is above...... What is this? Bug Zha was a little surprised...... This flag is obviously the Yan clan's own flag, and the other party has surrendered? But why exactly? What's going on in town?

Before he could come back to his senses, he heard the leader of the group shouting:

"Admiral Raza! I am a fire watcher of the Vulcan Croats! My lord holds the Holy Fire Order, the god of fire descends, and blesses the world! Those who resist the gods will be killed to honor the king of Yan! At present, Kecheng has been cleared, and the Vulcan Sect welcomes the general of the Worm Zha into the master! ”

With that, the firewatcher who took the lead immediately fell to his knees on one knee, and everyone behind him knelt on the ground and shouted loudly for the return of the god of fire.

He raised his eyebrows, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud:

"Wha!! What a Vulcan is coming! That's great! Haha, King Yan is strategic!! He paused, turned his head and raised his arm, and then ordered:

"The Eight Scorpion Team listens to the order, you quickly enter the city, assist the Vulcan Sect to clear the enemy, and defend this city!"

A cavalry team beside him quickly lined up and ran quickly towards the open gate of the city.

"General...... We...... Aren't we going into town? The sentinel asked in a whisper beside him.

After laughing twice, he said:

"Nope! Let's not go into town! You haven't understood our Yanwang arrangement? All the clans in the Central Plains, almost every city has Vulcan Sect believers, right now we are strong and strong, as long as our soldiers are in the city, the Vulcan Sect will definitely start from the inside, such a good opportunity, how can it be delayed?? ”

With that, he waved his hand violently, pointed to the east not far away, and gave a loud order:

"Let's go! Brothers, let's get some bang for it! Conquer the entire plain!! ”
