Chapter 247: Smoothly Entering the City
Everyone looked forward along Xiahou Feiyang's finger, and sure enough, they saw that Li Yuan's camp in the distance was in an abnormal continuous chaos.
Taking advantage of the enemy's offensive just passed, Xiahou Yuan's father and son, Bai Wuya and others climbed the lookout to take a closer look. I saw a team wearing a red turban is breaking out of the camp of Li Yuan's army, and everywhere this red turban army goes, people are invincible on their horses, and the battalions in Li Yuan's army can't stop their momentum at all under the panic, and Xiahou and his son on the city tower are excited.
Bai Wuya raised his arms and shouted: "It must be Ziling, Ziling is finally here! Ziling's reinforcements are finally here......."
With Bai Wuya's shout, all the defenders on the city tower cheered, and the offensive of the enemy army under the city was obviously affected, greatly slowing down the pace of the attack, and the defensive pressure on the city was greatly reduced for a while.
Then Shi Ziling's special attack division and Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers engaged in a head-to-head confrontation in front of Li Yuan's camp, and both the attacking and defending sides of the Black Dragon City tower couldn't help but divert most of their attention.
At first, Xiahou Yuan and his son were still a little worried that the number of reinforcements from Shiziling was small, and although they broke through Li Yuan's camp by surprise, it was difficult for Li Zhun to pass smoothly under the strict presence of Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers. If you wait until Li Yuan's army regroups to catch up, Shi Ziling's special attack division will be attacked by the enemy under the disparity in strength, and it will not only be difficult to save the crisis of Black Dragon City, but also the danger of annihilation.
Fortunately, Shi Ziling's special attack division showed extremely excellent attack ability, and after several rushes, it killed the elite of Li Zhun's group of blue wolf legions, and more than half of the army was killed and wounded. The Xiahou father and son on the city tower were full of praise for the skillful combined attack methods of the special attack division, and they couldn't help but applaud again and again.
Xiahou Feiyang praised excitedly: "Although the number of support troops in Shiziling is small, the speed is extremely fast, and it has maintained a very neat formation from beginning to end, showing excellent combat effectiveness. ”
"What's even more remarkable is that their infantry and cavalry are so clever that they are always at the right distance from each other and can be adjusted precisely according to the changing tide of battle. If our Yanyun Legion had such a combination change, it would not have been defeated by Li Yuan's Legion in the first place. ”
Xiahou Yuan also praised again and again: "Shi Ziling's command and dispatch is really accurate and terrifying, and every choice he makes is almost just right, which not only minimizes the loss of his own team, but also exerts the combat power of their group of men and horses to the extreme." ”
"You see that their more than 10,000 people and horses rushed out of the barracks of Li Yuan's 100,000 army without much damage, and in the face of Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers, it only took such a short time to defeat them, which is really respectable and terrifying!"
Bai Wuya laughed even more when he heard his good son-in-law being praised, he smiled: "Although I don't know how to lead troops to fight, but I can also see that Ziling's way of using troops is the same as his martial arts, his every dispatch and command seems to be ordinary and simple, but in fact, it is always just right and has infinite stamina, and it really deserves to be my good son-in-law, Ha Lu Ha ......."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Shiziling's reinforcements have now broken through the enemy's interception, and Xue Zhengyang, who is attacking the city under the city, will never be their opponent. Feiyang, you hurry up and take people to get ready, just wait for Shiziling to kill the enemy troops under the city, and immediately open the city gate and let them in. ”
Xiahou Feiyang rushed to lead the order, and took a group of men to the city downstairs to prepare to meet Shiziling.
Shi Ziling's special attack division was even faster after breaking through the interception of Li Zhun's army, and soon came to the Black Dragon City.
Xue Zhengyang gathered a total of about 10,000 horses here at the north gate to attack the city in turn, which was originally more than enough, but when he saw that Shiziling's special attack division had defeated Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers in a very short period of time, he couldn't help but be completely dumbfounded.
Xue Zhengyang knew that Li Zhun's 30,000 elite soldiers were the elite of the Blue Wolf Legion, and Li Zhun himself had always been one of the most outstanding generals in Li Yuan's Legion, and they were immediately defeated in a head-to-head confrontation, how could his 10,000 men and horses be the opponent of the other party.
At this time, they had no intention of attacking the city, Xue Zhengyang ordered all the soldiers to turn around and set up a defensive formation, only hoping to temporarily block the momentum of the special attack division, so that Li Yuan and the army behind him could come to the rescue.
Shi Ziling led the team to the front, and saw that Xue Zhengyang's troops in front were not very many, and the hastily opened defensive formation was also quite messy, so he immediately slapped his horse and carried the highest-level Outer Heaven Demon Voice and shouted: "Shi Ziling is here, we are determined to enter the city, and those who stand in the way will die!"
With a deafening "rush" word, Shi Ziling jumped on the horse with a spear and took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, Li Xiaoyao and Yin Qi and others also followed closely into the formation, and they had no generals everywhere they went, and soon successively picked out several generals who were the first in the enemy formation.
Xue Zhengyang was already a little weak-hearted, and he secretly complained after hearing Shi Ziling's name with the Demon Voice of the Heavens. Shi Ziling is a top master at the same level as Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, although Xue Zhengyang asked himself that his strength was not weak, he would never dare to step forward to fight at this time, and immediately turned his horse's head and flashed to the side.
The soldiers under his command were also frightened and trembling in the shouting of the heavenly demon sound at the top of Shiziling, and when they saw that several generals and masters in the front row had fallen off their horses, they had no fighting spirit, and everyone followed Xue Zhengyang to dodge on both sides, and the entire defensive formation that had just been set up was immediately split apart.
Shi Ziling's special attack division smashed into the enemy formation like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the defensive formation set out by Xue Zhengyang's ten thousand soldiers and horses was broken down in a blink of an eye, completely unable to resist the rapid rush of the special attack division, with countless casualties on the spot, and the rest also scattered and fled.
The special attack division did not pursue the enemy troops who fled in all directions, but only accelerated the sprint into the Black Dragon City with all his might, and the leading Shi Ziling carried the magic voice outside the sky and shouted: "The Eastern Shiziling led the Songhu Legion to come here to rescue, please open the city gate quickly!"
Xiahou Yuan on the city tower had already prepared, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened after seeing Shi Ziling kill Xue Zhengyang's men and horses, and Xiahou Feiyang led hundreds of personal soldiers to meet him.
Shi Ziling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city gate open, he didn't care about greeting Xiahou Feiyang, and ordered Wei Hu to lead the team into the city first, and he himself took 5,000 cavalry with Li Xiaoyao, Yu Wei and others to break the rear.
Although Li Yuan's army in pursuit tried their best to catch up, they were finally one step too late, and by the time their brigade of men and horses approached the city, Shiziling's special attack division had all entered the city safely.
Although Li Yuan was furious, he also knew that the Black Dragon City might be difficult to break through in a short period of time after receiving the help of Shi Ziling's reinforcements, and even if he attacked the city immediately at this time, it would probably have little effect. His men and horses were confused by the surprise attack of Shiziling this time, and Li Yuan decided to temporarily collect his troops and return to the camp after consideration, and then make plans after stabilizing the army's morale and regaining its strength.
Xiahou Yuan personally ran down the city tower to meet Shiziling, although the number of Shiziling's special attack divisions was not large, but from rushing into Li Yuan's camp to entering the Black Dragon City, the strength of its combat effectiveness was really breathtaking.
The first to come forward was Bai Wuya, he strode up a few times, and as soon as Shi Ziling saw his father-in-law, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Bai Wuya smiled and stepped forward to hug Shi Ziling heavily, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ziling, I know that you will definitely be able to arrive in time, and you really did not disappoint me! Your special attack division is really powerful, rushing in and out of Li Yuan's army of 100,000 people without much damage, even I, a person who doesn't know anything about the way of leading troops, can't help but be amazed!"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Father-in-law has won the award, we still won this time by surprise to attack its unpreparedness, although Li Yuan's army has the advantage of troops, but it is also unable to dispatch properly under surprise, so that we can easily break out of the camp." Actually, I don't have much experience in leading troops to fight, so my luck on this expedition is pretty good. ”
Xiahou Yuan came to Shi Ziling and bowed deeply and said: "Thank you General Shi for coming thousands of miles to help my Xiahou family, my Xiahou family is really grateful to be able to keep this most important foundation." In the future, if there is a place where we need the service of our Xiahou family, please just give orders, our Xiahou family will definitely die!"
Shi Ziling hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The master of the Xiahou family is polite, although I led the army to arrive in time today, it is difficult to say how the outcome of this expedition will be, and then we should work together to defeat Li Yuancai." ”
Xiahou Yuan sighed and said: "What General Shi said is that it's just that my Xiahou family has been completely defeated this time, and the entire 200,000 army has only a few thousand people left, if the general hadn't led the army to arrive in time, I wouldn't have thought that we would have been ruined in a few hours." Alas, with my current strength, although I have the heart to deal with Li Yuan, I really can't do anything. ”
Bai Wuya smiled and said: "Brother Xiahou, I finally looked forward to Ziling's reinforcements, so don't say such frustrating words again." Your Xiahou family has strong financial resources and a solid foundation, as long as you survive the current calamity, you can recruit troops to make a comeback in the future!"
Xiahou Yuan said gloomily: "After this war, I am already disheartened, and our Xiahou family has been greatly injured, and it is impossible to make a comeback in a short period of time." If General Shi can repel Li Yuan this time, I, Xiahou Yuan, will definitely follow the promise in advance to give up control of the north, just to keep a share of our Xiahou family's ancestral inheritance. ”
Shi Ziling didn't expect that Xiahou Yuan would raise the topic of giving up control of the north as soon as they met, although this was agreed by the two parties in advance, but the discussion was somewhat premature at this time. Shi Ziling smiled and said: "The master of the Xiahou family is polite, now that the enemy is present, we should unite with the enemy to fight the enemy, and the future will be talked about after the war subsides." ”
