Chapter 505: The Last Ring
The commotion from the front was caused by the people of Jincheng who took the initiative to open the city gate and lower the pontoon bridge.
Of course, the people of Jincheng were not enthusiastic enough to invite the enemy in for a drink, and as the end of the heavy drawbridge landed, thousands of elite cavalry rushed out of the city gates, brandishing their swords and guns, and beckoning to the besieged soldiers.
Since it was a siege battle, most of the Pantheist soldiers were not on horseback, and had just made a magnificent transformation from cavalry to infantry.
Moreover, Cheng Da did not set up a reserve to fight against the enemy out of the city, because everyone thought that the people of Jincheng would not take the initiative to attack, and they would defend the city to the death.
Abominable.
Cheng Da was furious, and he was beaten by the opponent into an internal and external attack, and he became the target of the attack, and the advantage of being the main attacker was gone.
"Divide the troops, first stabilize the rear." He ordered loudly.
Before the generals could shout the word "order," a guy rushed in and said, "Oh no, Lord Guduhou, our front army can't stop it."
"Are they all rice buckets?" Cheng Da glared and said, "It's just a few thousand enemy soldiers, and tens of thousands of people can't stop it."
The person who came to report smiled bitterly: "My lord, the other party is cavalry, and our side is mostly shield soldiers and longbowmen.
Cheng Da took a deep breath.To be honest, the 1,500 elite soldiers lost yesterday had already made him suffer all night.To be honest, he didn't want the elite soldiers to confront the enemy head-on.
"My lord, if the elite soldiers don't go, we really can't stop it."
"Don't be in a hurry, calm down." He pretended to be calm and asked, "How many monsters are there that are harassing us in the back?"
"Probably thousands."
After weighing, he thought it would be better to let the elite soldiers deal with the people of Jincheng, and if they were to fight the monsters, it was estimated that the casualties would be greater.
He slapped the table, and said in a deep voice: "Order 8,000 elite soldiers, 5 to meet the Jincheng cavalry, be sure to play with the momentum of our Pantheistic Sect, withdraw 15,000 men from the front, and return to the rear."
"Yes."
It only took a few minutes, and the guy came back from before: "Lord Qiyu Guduhou, the auxiliary soldiers can't be withdrawn, and the elite soldiers can't get in."
"What's going on?" He asked sharply, "Didn't Lord Ben give the order?"
The man complained bitterly: "The battle ahead has become a stalemate, the auxiliaries can't retreat at all, as long as they turn around, they will show their backs to the enemy, they will definitely die, this has caused them to be unable to withdraw, the elite soldiers can't go up, the more the Jincheng people fight, the more brave they become, we will not be able to bear it."
"Newspaper." Someone came in again to report: "The rear army is about to be unable to hold on, the enemy's attack is too strong, the altar master in charge of the rear army has asked the little one to ask you, when will the 15,000 reinforcements arrive, if it is a minute and a half late, the altar master does not guarantee that he will still be able to hold the position."
"." Cheng Da angrily scolded his mother, and it was obvious that what was happening in front of him was still a link in the enemy's serial plan.
Since yesterday, first the Gray Eagle people have robbed their own food and grass, and then the troops sent to destroy them have been slaughtered, and then there is today's internal and external attack.
The most helpless thing is that I, the Marquis of Xigu, who is in the limelight, has been fooled again and again.
He hated to bite Chen Xiao and the Wang family father and son to death.
Seeing that his face was pale, the two of them couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat at the same time, and said in unison: "My lord, the situation is critical.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Order the troops to shrink their formation, and then withdraw to the big battalion."
"Ordered."
The taste of the front and back attacks is not pleasant, and the father and son of the Wang family are condescending, and they can see clearly.
Wang Taiji stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Xian's nephew is really powerful, this battle will not only demoralize the enemy, but also cause them great casualties.
"yes." Wang Xuanye said sincerely: "Brother Xiao Xian's serial plan has made Cheng Da miserable, but this is not the end."
Wang Taiji was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that there is still a matter of impossible? When the plan was originally made, the last link was the internal and external attack."
Wang Xuanye smiled and said in the direction of the enemy's camp, "I think so, Brother Xiao Xian will definitely continue to expand the results of the battle."
"You're saying to take advantage of the enemy's lack of strength to attack their camp." Wang Taiji asked rhetorically: "Why are you so sure?"
Wang Xuanye looked into the distance and said, "I can think of things that Brother Xiao Xian can't think of."
As they spoke, the enemy camp was set on fire, almost instantly, and dozens of places were on fire at the same time.
Father and son looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Because it was a siege battle, there was no need to worry about the camp being attacked by the Jincheng people, so when the troops were sent out in the morning, Cheng Da only left a few hundred guards, and most of them were firehead troops.
Let such a group of people guard the battalion, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.
The little marquis took the camp in one fell swoop and set fire to it everywhere without much effort.
He clapped his hands with a smile and said to himself, "The last part of the chain has finally been completed."
Cheng Da finally stabilized his position, and 8,000 elite soldiers were able to fight against the Jincheng cavalry.
The Jincheng cavalry had no advantage in quantity or quality, and suffered heavy losses at the first contact.
Eight thousand elite soldiers rushed to catch up, and the opportunity to break the city was blocked by the overwhelming rain of arrows.
Cheng Da let out a sigh of relief, anyway, he finally got rid of the dilemma of being caught between the front and back, and now he could go all out to deal with the undead knight behind him.
With dozens of people flanking an undead knight, the results are rising.
As soon as a smile appeared on his face, he accidentally caught a glimpse of billowing black smoke coming from the direction of the camp, and was about to ask loudly, when the herald ran over and reported: "Oh no, Lord Guduhou, our camp has been set on fire by the enemy."
"What." His eyes widened, "Somebody did that?"
"It's a young knight, single-handed."
"Damn, it's Chen Xiao again, hateful boy." He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, the food he ate was gone, the battle was defeated, and now he couldn't even keep his old nest.
Several generals around him had complicated expressions, and they also couldn't understand why they were defeated so miserably.
"Lord Guduhou, how shall we take the next step?" An altar owner asked cautiously.
Cheng Da gasped and said, "Deal with those monsters first, and then encircle and suppress Chen Xiao with all your might...... No, three thousand taels of gold, plus four young beauties."
