Chapter 131: Assassination and Sneak Attack (8)

In the middle of the night, Li Xiao woke up, he heard a lot of birds chirping, what is the situation?

Li Xiao felt that his left arm was very sore, and he could see night vision slightly, and saw a girl lying next to him, and the girl was holding his left arm.

He twitched his arm, but he couldn't pull it out, he broke the girl's hand with his hand, and the girl bent up and pressed a white rabbit against Li Xiao's right palm.

The firm flesh felt that Li Xiao's whole body seemed to be overpowered, and his breathing was speeding up and his breathing was uneven.

After midnight, seventy or eighty thousand Balongwei troops gathered outside the east gate of Yuanyang City. There was a slight wind, the night was cool, the mosquitoes were blown away by the wind, and many soldiers slept directly on the open space outside the camp tent.

In the commander's tent, Liu Xi, the commander of the capital, and Liu Boren, the deputy commander of the capital, had just finished chatting with the woman who was with the army, and after the two drove the woman away, they unconsciously began to discuss the military situation.

"Boren, the scout said that reinforcements came from Yuanyang City,......"

"You're talking about the Flying Cavalry?"

"I don't know where the flying cavalry came from. The number is not very large, no more than three thousand people. ”

"The bird cavalry of Lion Spring City in the mountains can't walk at night, and the flying birds in Cloud City are colorful and easy to identify. This flying cavalry can fly at night and is almost always an eagle. ”

"Could it be the Heavenly Cavalry from the Imperial Capital?"

"Oh! better not. ”

"All command the envoys, or launch an attack overnight, and attack them unprepared. ”

"Our army's siege equipment is still in the rearguard, and it will arrive as soon as tomorrow afternoon. Huangqi Mountain's Chai Hu Immortal will not arrive until sunset tomorrow at the earliest. ”

"Yuanyang City does not have many troops, and the new reinforcements are unstable, so it is better to attack now. ”

Liu Xi was very hesitant, never expecting that there would be flying cavalry to come to the aid of Yuanyang City. Launching a siege battle, if you can't win, it will provoke the flying cavalry in Yuanyang City, and without Chai Hu Xian's long pressure formation, the entire Baronolongwei army will collapse. "Hey, it would be nice if Immortal Chai Hu marched with us. ”

"Your Excellency, if you don't attack, I'll go out and arrange the defense in the middle of the night. ”

"Prudence can catch cicadas, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. There you go. ”

On the fourth watch of the night, in Xuan Zhongxian's wing, the green tea and black tea were asleep, and Xuan Zhongxian was not in the house. In another room, Li Xiao hugged Wu Xiaoze, Wu Xiaoze fell asleep, he didn't fall asleep.

Countless voices sounded loud and low-voiced in Yuanyang City, and there were occasional chirping and wings of birds of prey.

Suddenly, the sound of birds of prey was chaotic, and the sound of wings increased hundreds of times, as if at an airfield.

Nighttime sneak attack.

The Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry launched a night attack on the Tyrannosaurus army outside the city. Their main weapons were crossbow arrows in the hands of soldiers, fire oil, and sharp claws and hooked beaks of birds.

The cavalry wore light robes, with quivers on their backs, crossbows, and short swords at their waists, and rode on rare bird riders.

Bird riding is a type of sky riding.

In the night, the Three Thousand Heavenly Cavalry rose into the air and completed the whole team in the air. The front team of 1,500 cavalry cavalry, the heavenly cavalry is mainly the fox giant eagle, the northern region black eagle, and the forest green eagle; the squadron has 1,000 heavenly cavalry, the heavenly cavalry is mainly the bald sea eagle, the white-bellied sea eagle, the white-tailed sea eagle, and the tiger head sea eagle; and the rear team of 500 heavenly cavalry, the sky cavalry is mainly the sand vulture in the sand region and a few golden eagles.

In the big tent of the Balongwei, Liu Xi was lying on the marching bed, he had not fallen asleep, he had come on the spot, but after seeing the flying cavalry that might be the heavenly cavalry of Shangdu, his ambition had become "worried".

Before he fell asleep in the commander's tent, except for the avant-garde who was trapped between Jinniu Town and Yuanyang City, and the rearguard who was marching slowly, the other Derannosaurus Guard soldiers were basically there.

Outside the east gate of Yuanyang City, the tents and torches of the Balongwei soldiers covered the ground for more than twenty miles.

In accordance with Liu Zheng's arrangement, Liu Boren, the deputy commander of the capital, divided the whole army into more than 100 thousand-man squares, which were divided into the right wing, the middle army, the left wing, and the left and left wings.

After he came out of the commander's tent in the middle of the night, he took a team of guards and began to inspect the open and secret sentinels in the barracks one by one.

The right flank was lined up by the moat, and only twenty thousand-strong squares were arranged, basically hoplites and crossbow men.

All the cavalry and some crossbow men were placed on the left flank, fearing that after the cavalry on the left flank charged, the enemy would outflank the Barnosaurus guard from the left flank, and secretly placed 5,000 warriors behind the left flank to form the left left flank.

The Chinese army exceeded 50,000 men and was a siege force and a guard unit.

Liu Xi's troops were deployed tightly and orderly, and they could attack and retreat and defend. However, they faced the Heavenly Cavalry of Shangdu from the Imperial Capital.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the cavalry launched a surprise attack. In the night sky, the sky is densely packed, like mosquitoes. The mosquito grows larger and larger, revealing the form of a bird.

Not far away, not close, the heavenly cavalry pulled arrows, and then the arrows rained down. Whether inside or outside the tent, the Tyrannosaurus soldiers would be subjected to more than thirty rounds of crossbow fire.

The cavalry, which flew over the barracks, dropped oil and torches. Soon, thousands of the Barnosaurus' soldiers' tents were set on fire. Thousands of soldiers were drenched in fire oil and set fire to their clothes, and no matter how much they rolled, they could not extinguish the fire, and they screamed and screamed, which was extremely terrifying.

After firing the bolts, the Celestial Cavalry swooped down and began to control the Celestial Cavalry, attacking the tents and soldiers.

A giant fox eagle directly overturned a camp, and the other black eagle killed two soldiers with its claws. Abound. ......

There was a group of heavenly cavalry that rushed directly to the camp of the commander of the Chinese army, and their task was to "shoot the man and the horse first, and capture the thief and the king first".

The neighing of birds and the screams of soldiers resounded through the clouds.

Liu Xi had already stood outside the big tent to direct the battle, conveying the general order to counterattack to the heralds. "Order, those who retreat are killed, and all bows and crossbows are fired at once,......"

Suddenly, he saw a large number of heavenly cavalry flying towards him, and he wanted to hide in the commander's tent, but as soon as he turned around, a crossbow arrow flew like lightning and hit him in the shoulder, and almost all the guards around him were killed by the arrow. Several of the soldiers who were not hit by the arrows swung away the crossbow arrows with their waist knives, but they were caught and killed by the oncoming birds with their claws and their hooked beaks.

Liu Xi ran into the big tent with his wounds, and when he saw that the top of the big tent was already on fire, he hurriedly used his saber to split the curtain wall of the big tent, trying to escape from behind the tent. However, as soon as he got out of the big tent, he was caught by the oncoming golden eagle with a hook claw, he swung his knife and slashed at the hook claw, the hook was cut off, and then he slashed at the top of the head, cutting the eagle's belly, and the golden eagle fell directly into the burning tent, making a coaxing struggle.

Liu Xi rolled on the ground to avoid being injured, he was frightened, buried his head in the "rat run", was grabbed by another golden eagle on the shoulders, the saber landed, he was caught thousands of meters in the air, and then, "free fall", was broken into pieces.

Such a tragic death was something he never expected.

In short, the Barnosaurus' counterattack was timely and powerful, but the Celestial Cavalry's Celestial Cavalry was so strong that their counterattack was almost ineffective.

Only a few dozen of the Celestial Riders were shot down by the Tyrannosaurus' crossbows, and a small number of Celestial Riders were wounded and still fighting.

Outside the east gate of Yuanyang City, there was a wail, screaming and shaking the sky, the fire was soaring to the sky, it was unbearable to see, the corpses were piled up, and the blood flowed like a river.

While escaping, the Tyrannosaurus soldiers also had a stampede.

It's dawning.

Outside the east gate, there were piles of corpses, many of the dead had been charred. More than 20,000 corpses were left on the ground a hundred miles east of the East Gate. Corpses were piled up in the dry moat.

After the deputy commander Liu Boren rushed to the market in Shenma Town, he counted the number of people who followed, and only more than 10,000 infantry remained, most of the soldiers fled, and a small number of soldiers surrendered. The cavalry fled without a trace.

Some soldiers said that the commander had been killed, Liu Boren was half-convinced, and he was in a dilemma, what should he do next?

The soldiers of the Baronosaurus Guard have been smooth sailing, in fact, the soldiers are very tired from the rapid march for several days, and if it were not for the military law team behind the threat, the soldiers would have fallen asleep on the side of the road.

The weather is very hot, the morale has become very low, many soldiers are surrendered, they come to the battlefield to make up the number, the wind is fine, the slightest setback, will collapse.

What's more, the Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry, one of the twenty-two cavalry of the Seven Regions of the Great Xuan Kingdom, flew from the imperial capital and flew in.

The army of more than 100,000 Balongwei was defeated by 3,000 Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry at night.
