Chapter 457: The Battle of Panyang City

Knock knock

The sound of drums resounded throughout the four fields, and a continuous army appeared outside the city of Panyang.

Ji Ling looked at the solid city wall in front of him and the countless archers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Along the way, the horses and whips finally arrived here, and the soldiers naturally did not give the defenders in the city too much time to react, so as not to deploy troops calmly in Yuzhang County.

"General, is our army camped in the rear?"

"Why set up camp?"

"This?"

One of the generals had a bitter look on his face.

Looking around at the robes around him, he saw that all of them had tired looks, so he said to Ji Ling.

"Our army is galloping in the starry night, although there are tens of thousands of people, they are all tired, if we storm Panyang Lake, is it a little inappropriate?"

"How can this be missed?"

"Fighters?"

"Our army suddenly came to Panyang City, the defenders in the city must be panicked, and there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhang County, how many people can be stationed here?"

A general explained to his comrades beside him.

Suddenly, the sound of discussion sounded in Ji Ling's ears like a tide.

"But our army is tired after all, and the enemy occupies the advantage of the city wall, so it is inappropriate to rush into the storm."

"The rear is Panyang Lake, if our army stays here for too long, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"This?"

A famous general was lost in thought.

The general who had just spoken continued to speak.

"If the Yuzhang garrison enters and goes to Panyang Lake and fights with our army in Huzhong, what will happen at that time?"

"What can the soldiers do when they come to Yuzhang County Government? The knowledge of the terrain of those defenders alone was enough to cut off the supply of our army. Unless we can capture the Yuzhang County Government as quickly as possible, we will inevitably fall into a situation of lack of food. Therefore, it is the best policy to attack now, without giving Yuzhang time to react, directly cross Panyang Lake, and hold Panyang City and Yuzhang Port, then our army's supplies can be safe."

"But have you thought about it, even if we wait to capture Panyang City and cross Panyang Lake. How much will be lost? When the soldiers are tired and wait to arrive outside Yuzhang Port, will they be able to capture it smoothly? ”

Listening to the discussions of these generals, Ji Ling gradually made a decision in his heart. His eyes looked around the city wall in front of him, and then he gave the military order.

"The officers and men of the whole army were divided into two, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses retreated for ten miles to set up camp, and seize the time to repair"

"There are 5,000 soldiers and horses left to storm Panyang City"

"No"

Listening to this military order, the generals' eyes couldn't help but light up, and the general deserved to be the general who had made such an ingenious arrangement. The soldiers left behind by Yuzhang were only 3,000, scattered in the counties of the county, and there must not be many people who were really stationed in the city. Although our army is divided, it still has an overwhelming advantage.

Knock knock

The dense drums sounded again, and the whole army was divided into two, and five thousand soldiers and horses galloped away in the direction in which they had passed under the leadership of their respective generals.

Although half of the troops were left, the enemies outside the city were still boundless, bringing great pressure to Panyang City.

"Who wants to take this Panyang City for Ben"

"The Last General's Order"

"The Last General's Order"

The generals shouted loudly at Ji Ling in front.

Looking around, a light of contempt spreads. Judging from the experience of perennial warfare, the number of troops in this city will definitely not exceed 3,000, that is to say, there are only more than 2,000 troops, and now although 5,000 soldiers and horses have been evacuated, the remaining troops are still twice as many as the soldiers and horses in the city.

"A thousand soldiers will test the strength of this city"

"No"

The eleven generals shouted at Ji Ling, and then drove the war horses to run to the rear.

Not long after, a phalanx of 1,000 people took steps at the same time and rushed towards the direction of Panyang City.

"Kill"

"Kill"

The deafening shouts of killing poured over like a tidal wave.

Cheng Yu, who was standing on the city tower, looked at Ji Ling's department who suddenly divided his troops, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. I don't know if this General Ji is lucky or unlucky, the fish has already taken the bait, but I don't want half of it to just wander back and forth next to the hook and not bite the bait.

Thinking quickly in his mind, the crossbowmen stationed on the city wall did not need Cheng Yu's orders, so they attacked the front according to the steps that had already been arranged. One of the archers looked up at the sky at the same time, then released the bowstring.

The sky darkened, and the rain of arrows roared like stars.

Dense damage points spread over the body, and wounds of various sizes appeared on the body of one enemy soldier.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ji Ling's mouth, and a soldier behind him ran towards the army without commanding.

After a while, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and the soldiers standing behind gave way one after another.

Cheng Yu on the city tower couldn't help but be secretly nervous, looking at the changes behind Ji Ling with the help of the height of the city tower, his heart seemed heavy. The siege vehicle, I didn't expect Ji Ling's department to rush all the way, and actually brought the siege vehicle with him. Siege engines must not be allowed to rush under the city gates, so they shouted orders to the city.

"Where are the cavalry?"

"In"

"Strike immediately to destroy the siege engine"

"No"

There was a hint of death in the eyes of the three hundred horsemen, and outside the city was the mighty and boundless five thousand enemy soldiers, and if they went out at this time, they would definitely die for life. But the danger of the siege vehicle was too great, and it had to be destroyed to drag the reinforcements to arrive.

Thinking of this, three hundred horsemen urged the war horses and galloped all the way to the city gate.

rumble

With a loud bang, the city gate opened, and the three hundred horsemen seemed to turn into a sharp arrow, and a huge amount of damage appeared on the body of an enemy soldier in the place where it passed.

The eyes of the enemy soldiers flashed with worry and excitement, but as the cavalry drew closer, they all turned into a strong fighting spirit.

"Protecting siege engines"

"Protecting siege engines"

A cacophony of voices rang in his ears, and an enemy soldier guessed the target of the three hundred horsemen almost without the orders of the generals, and swarmed in.

Under the resistance of these enemy soldiers, the speed became slower and slower, and his own momentum plummeted.

"Shoot the Arrow"

Woohoo......

There was a roar of rage from the walls, and a rain of arrows whistled over the heads of the enemy soldiers.

As the rain of arrows rained down, all enemy soldiers flooded with a series of damage points, and the health bar on the top of their heads also changed.

Ji Ling seemed to sense something, and commanded the generals around him.

"Pass the order, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks will attack"

"No"

All the generals shouted at the same time, and then more than ten generals walked over to the left and right.

Then came the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and two thousand cavalry rushed to the battle.

Seeing this, the momentum of the enemy soldiers who were rushing to kill instantly soared, and at the same time, the three hundred cavalry who were trapped in the siege showed a diametrically opposite state of affairs, and their morale gradually became low. As the shouts of killing got closer and closer, casualties gradually appeared, and one after another fell in a pool of blood. The mission to destroy the siege engines was also declared a failure with their deaths.
