Jin Qian was completely stupid, and he fled back in panic under the escort of the guards. As soon as the main general ran away, the formation of the whole army was in chaos, and the panic of defeat and flight quickly infected the whole army like a wave. People threw their instruments away in a panic and scurried around the world. Seeing this, the cavalry of Black Cloud City shouted, "We are from the Green Dragon Flying Tigers!" while chasing and killing deserters all over the ground.

Only tens of thousands of people participated in the night attack this time, and because Wang Jinqian was worried that the action would be too big and the defenders at the head of the city would find out, he did not dare to call more people. Most of the officers and men were still barbecuing and drinking in the battalion, and they were not prepared for a big battle or a bad battle at all. As soon as the tens of thousands of routed soldiers rushed back to the camp, they immediately caused a tsunami-like rout. As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, and no one can stop it. The officers and men threw away their armor one after another and rushed around.

Zhao Hui, the chief general in charge of guarding the city in Fuhua County, did not expect things to go so smoothly. He was overjoyed and led most of the city's forces to the city. At this time, the first group of cavalry out of the city had already killed the camp of the Xuanwu Kingdom. They set fire to the defeated army while chasing them, and soon the camp of the Northern Alliance became a sea of fire.

If it weren't for Zhao Dongguo, the deputy commander of the Southern Route Army, perhaps the army of Xuanwu would have become the first army to collapse in this war. At that time, he was supervising the transportation and follow-up of the grain and grass in the rear of the camp and deploying measures to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the grain and grass camp, when he saw a sea of fire in front of him, and countless defeated troops fled to the rear of the camp.

Zhao Dongguo immediately made a decision, and ordered the army of his own soldiers and food guards to be organized immediately, and thousands of people lined up in a tight formation, with swords unsheathed, to stop the defeated soldiers in the rout. If there are still those who do not obey the order and flee without authorization, they will all be killed on the spot! He soon stopped the continuation of the chaos within a small area, and gradually gathered a group of counterattack forces. They went up to fight the Qinglong Kingdom's troops out of the city, and it was not until almost dawn that the Black Cloud City army withdrew to the city under the command of Zhao Hui.

When Wang Jinqian returned, he could not help but feel desolate when he saw the tents that were still smoking from the ground, the discarded swords, guns, armor and shields, and the corpses scattered all over the place. Could it be that it is so difficult to fight with Qinglong Black Cloud City? As soon as he came up, he was killed by the other party, how can he explain it this time? His mood was extremely heavy, and he looked at the city wall of Fuyang County in the distance, and for a while, he even lost his confidence and determination to fight down.

At the same moment, the mighty mid-lane army composed of the Ma Huaishan Kingdom also encountered the same problem. When they drove to the front of the Mingyang Fort defense line, they saw that the wide moat was quite lively. The gates of the pass were all open, and the common people and some stragglers even basked in the sun leisurely under the city, chatting in clusters and west, as if nothing major was going to happen at all.

Coach Luo Zhen was very puzzled, saying that they were not on guard, the surrounding walls were clear, and even the suspension bridge over the moat had been burned down. Battle flags fluttered on the high walls, apparently ready for battle. But the gates were wide open, and the people and soldiers seemed to be all the same, and they did not panic when they saw the army coming, and swayed slowly and leisurely towards the gates. This behavior greatly angered the officers and soldiers of the Ma Huaishan Kingdom, and they roared angrily, wanting to kill into the city now.

Luo Zhen ordered to set up camp first, and after settling down, they launched their first attack in the evening. Under the cover of a rain of arrows, tens of thousands of elephants roared and first crossed the river from the long moat.

The elephants entered the water, and the river boiled like a boiling pot. The infantry, carrying ladders and other siege equipment, followed closely behind the herd of elephants, preparing to ascend the city. But the strange thing is that there was no movement on the city walls at all, as if there was no one left, and the besieging troops were left to wield.

The elephants rushed to each gate at the shouts of the mahouts, striking them with their massive bodies. Surprisingly, the city gate did not have a latch at all, and it opened as soon as it was pushed. People and elephants swarmed in, causing a serious stampede. Many others climbed up the ladder to the top of the city, and saw the wide walls strewn with leftover food and water, as if they had fled in panic.

Those who rushed into the pass and rushed up the city wall saw another wall two hundred meters away. Like the wall in front, the wall behind it was tall and thick, with only one gate and two small side gates. The crowd and the elephants rushed to the back gate. But this time it didn't go well, and they were met with a harsh counterattack from the walls.

The distance between the twin walls of Fuyang County is only 50 meters. That's because the area of the county seat is not large, and the construction of the city wall has greatly reduced the space, and many people need to be demolished, which is what Heiyun City does not want to see. He had an opinion on forced demolition in his previous life, so he would not make such a move in his life.

But Minggo Castle is different. There are no dwellings behind the defensive line, and it is completely possible to build it freely. The reason why the open space between the two lines of defense is referred to as 200 meters wide is because the arrows fired by the crossbows of many countries have little lethality after flying in a straight line of 200 meters in the air, and generally cannot penetrate the ordinary armor worn by the soldiers. Not to mention that most of the officers and soldiers defending the castle were equipped with fine iron armor.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the army on the castle defense line have been equipped with a fine iron version of the hard crossbow "Legend of Death", which still maintains a very strong lethality at a distance of 200 meters. When Luo Ming designed this line of defense, he did a lot of experiments, and finally determined that 200 meters was the best distance. It not only maintains the effective killing of the enemy, but also greatly reduces the threat of the opponent's bow and crossbow.

The crowd and herd of elephants that rushed into the open space between the two lines of defense were immediately hit with a fierce blow. The soldiers of Black Cloud City on the second wall rained down arrows, and between the two city wall defenses was a bare flat land, and there was no place to hide. The soldiers of the Mahuaishan Kingdom immediately wailed and screamed. Although the elephant has rough skin and thick flesh, and its vitality is very strong, the hard crossbow in the hands of the soldiers of Black Cloud City is no joke, and the arrows and arrows penetrate deep into the flesh, and some elephants quickly become hedgehog elephants.

In order to deal with the elephant herd, the blacksmiths of Black Cloud City, under the leadership of Liu Shiro, also specially developed a very terrifying "canine barb arrow". This kind of arrow is not only made of iron, but also has an inverted steel spike cast on the shaft immediately behind the arrow, which cannot be pulled out when it penetrates deep into the flesh, which is very painful. There are also arrows with poisons on their shoulders that drive creatures mad. Those tall and strong elephants are very terrifying once they start to go berserk.

Some of the soldiers of Black Cloud City, who had good bow and crossbow skills and accurate shooting, were organized to release arrows specifically at the soldiers of the Mahuaishan Kingdom who climbed the first city wall. They quickly overpowered the men to the point where they could only hunch over behind the parapet, occasionally daring to get up and fight back.
