Chapter 721: The Battle of the East Gate
In this case, Yue Fei and Jia Xu both thought that Shan Shaoguang was the kind of general who did not have the courage to fight, so they underestimated him, and now when they heard Lu Feng's question, they didn't think much about it, and answered the most likely answer.
But Zhao Yun was different, after leaving the three northern counties of the Nanyan Kingdom to find a friend's family, he came to the Bailan Kingdom.
Moreover, Zhao Yun is a military general, so he will naturally know something about the generals of the Bailan Kingdom, and he understands Shan Shaoguang's ability very well.
In addition, he has not experienced these things such as Shan Shaoguang's begging, so he will not underestimate Shan Shaoguang.
So answering now, he will combine his previous understanding of Shan Shaoguang to make an answer that is most likely in his heart.
"Zilong, since you see the key point in this matter, then you will take my royal order and go to the north gate of Qingfeng City, and be responsible for blocking Shanshaoguang's breakthrough. ”
"I'll have the bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen sent over right away. ”
Lu Feng said to Zhao Yun.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately said: "The last general, Zhao Yun, will definitely not let Shan Shaoguang break through from the north gate, but if there is any loss, I am willing to come and see him." ”
"Yes, I believe in you. ”
Zhao Yun immediately went down, rode his war horse, and quickly rushed to the north gate.
Here, Lu Feng's royal order also went down, and he mobilized some bed crossbows and bow crossbows to the north gate to help Zhao Yun block Shan Shaoguang's breakthrough.
Coupled with the presence of nearly 200,000 troops at the north gate, it will definitely be able to block the enemy's breakthrough.
At the same time, in the sky above Qingfeng City, the Six Sword Slaves had already poured all the special fire oil in the storage ring, and the entire Qingfeng City was filled with the pungent smell of fire oil.
Zhengang moved in his hand, and a talisman shot into Qingfeng City from the sky in his true qi cover.
"Bang!"
It was a flame talisman that exploded violently when it reached the ground, and suddenly flames appeared.
"Boom!"
The flames produced by the flame gourd instantly ignited the special fire oil in the interior of Qingfeng City, and suddenly, the fire burned and spread rapidly.
The more special fire oil was ignited, and it frantically devoured Qingfeng City.
Those soldiers of the Bailan Kingdom in Qingfeng City were swallowed by the flames one by one, screaming in the flames, and finally turned into charcoal.
In just a few moments, one-fifth of Qingfeng City was already in the sea of fire, and it was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, or it wouldn't be long before the entire Qingfeng City would turn into a city of fire.
At the head of the East Gate City, a panicked captain ran in front of Shan Shaoguang, and said in a frightened voice: "General, Nancheng has been burned, and the flames have burned at least one or two thousand soldiers to death, and they are still spreading wildly, and more soldiers are being devoured. ”
"The rest of the soldiers who were close to Nancheng panicked and fled everywhere, and they were all in chaos. ”
Shan Shaoguang's face was solemn, he didn't expect this special fire oil to spread so quickly after being ignited.
He turned his head sharply, looked at a general behind him, and asked aloud, "How many soldiers have gathered?"
"Three...... Three hundred and fifty thousand. ”
A general behind him trembled a little, afraid that the sea of fire would spread and devour him.
"Damn it!"
Scolding in a low voice, Shan Shaoguang didn't expect to gather 350,000 soldiers.
Less than half of the soldiers in Qingfeng City.
In fact, such a gathering speed was because Shan Shaoguang saw Lu Feng sitting outside the East Gate and was worried about attacking from the East Gate, so he mobilized 250,000 troops at the East Gate.
The rest of the 100,000 troops were all troops from the City Lord's Mansion who were responsible for the surrounding support, and it was not easy to rush over in such a short time.
"Can't wait!"
Shan Shaoguang stared at the east gate and shouted: "Order the army, break through immediately." At the same time, order the rest of the army to quickly gather at the east gate, and we must transfer the army away from Qingfeng City before the sea of fire spreads throughout Qingfeng City. ”
At the same time, he ordered the warriors to do their best to block the spread of the sea of fire and give the army time to break through. ”
"Yes!"
Shan Shaoguang's series of orders went down, and the army of the Bailan Kingdom in Qingfeng City immediately started.
First of all, the east gate was wide open, and countless soldiers rushed out from the east gate and quickly gathered outside the city.
Then those warriors also hurried to the southern city, trying to stop the spread of the flames.
"You actually chose the East Gate as a breakthrough?"
Lu Feng, who was sitting outside the east gate of the Nanyan Kingdom, looked at the wide open east gate and the soldiers of Qingfeng City who rushed out quickly, his face was full of surprise.
He and Zhao Yun had similar opinions, both believing that the enemy army would break through from the north, because neither the west nor the east was a good place.
The west is a dead end, the east is Neiyang County, the control zone of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and the south is Jushan, which is simply unrealistic.
Only the north is the largest breakout direction.
That place is not yet under the control of the Southern Yan Kingdom.
But he didn't want to, Shan Shaoguang actually chose the east.
"It's a good mountain Shaoguang, and he actually came to do the opposite. ”
When Jia Xu saw it, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, in this way, we have just transferred a large number of bed crossbows and crossbow arrows from the east gate, and we are under a lot of pressure. ”
Lu Feng nodded, this was something he hadn't expected.
However, it is no wonder that Zhao Yunjinyan's mistake is really that Shan Shaoguang's choice is too unexpected.
"Order the remaining bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen to immediately disrupt the enemy's formation, and in addition, give Zhang He an order to immediately bring back the bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen who had just been transferred to the north gate to defend the east gate. ”
And asked Shen Zhengwen, the guard of the south gate, to mobilize the bed crossbow and bow crossbow to the east gate, and at the same time ordered the guard of the west gate to be careful of the enemy part of the enemy to break through from the west gate. ”
"Last ......"
After a pause, Lu Feng said, "Let Zhao Yun transfer the bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen at the north gate as well." ”
"Yes!"
After the order was passed down, the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom outside the east gate immediately began to attack.
The bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen fired their arrows in unison, making the east of Qingfeng City completely covered with a rain of arrows.
The soldiers of the Bailan Kingdom who rushed out of Qingfeng City fell one by one under the bed crossbow and bow crossbow, but this did not make those soldiers afraid.
Because their general told them that the southern part of Qingfeng City had become a sea of fire, and now it was spreading in other directions, and if they could not break through from the east gate, they would be completely finished.
Driven by this emotion, these soldiers of the Bailan Kingdom were really fearless of death and rushed out of the east gate frantically.
Especially when those shield soldiers came out, they immediately condensed the military formation to resist the crossbow arrows of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and at the same time advanced quickly under the orders of Shan Shaoguang.
However, the effect of this kind of advancement is very unsatisfactory, and it takes more than half an hour to advance less than 100 meters.
And in this more than half an hour, these soldiers in Qingfeng City suffered heavy losses.
The enemy soldiers who fell under the crossbows and bed crossbows were already approaching 100,000.
Those densely rushed out, facing the bow and crossbow, there was no escape, there was no way to escape, there was no way to avoid it, which was the main reason for such a big loss.
