Chapter Ninety-Eight: Secretly Pregnant with a Ghost
It turned out that on the second day of Lin Haotian's trip to Wancheng, Xuanyuan Fang ordered 250,000 troops to go out in unison and launched a protracted battle against Shuangfeng City under the dilemma of running out of grain and grass.
By summarizing the lessons of the previous failures, this time, Xuanyuan Fang also learned well, and no longer asked everyone to blindly carry out a strong charge, but placed five corps of crossbowmen in the front of the team in advance, intending to strike first.
As the Red Army's offensive officially began, the 50,000 crossbowmen who were at the forefront of the team set off at the same time, set up their bows and crossbows, and fired arrows at the city wall as they moved forward.
Suddenly, a dense stream of arrows shot like locusts at the city.
In the face of the enemy's menacing arrow rain, the Jin army on the city wall did not dare to show their heads easily, and everyone could only use shields to block or dodge behind the arrow stacks.
However, this was only the first round of arrows of the Red Army, a moment later, 50,000 Red Army once again released arrows in unison, tens of thousands of arrows crossed the sky like dark clouds, roaring and falling on the city, from time to time there were many Jin soldiers who could not dodge, were hit by arrows falling from the sky, and screamed one after another. At this point, the morale of the Jin army was also completely suppressed.
Looking at the Red Army troops getting closer and closer to the city, the guard general Lu Kai was anxious, and asked Yu Yan beside him: "General, the last general is willing to lead a group of men and horses out of the city and crush the enemy's arrow array!"
Yu Yan thought about it carefully, it was okay, Lu Kai would lead people out of the city to fight, no matter what the success or failure was, at least he could mention his own morale, he nodded and responded: "Lu Kai, I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, after breaking through the arrow array, you must return to the camp as soon as possible, and when you leave the city, I will let the archers on the city wall press the formation for you." ”
Lu Kai smiled, turned on his horse, and arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, general, I'll go back when I go!" As he spoke, he ordered his soldiers to open the city gate, and then led five thousand soldiers to rush straight to the Red Army's arrow array.
Lu Kai's seemingly crazy move really played a certain deterrent role, and the red army crossbowmen who were originally focused on the city wall saw a large group of people rushing towards them, and everyone was shocked, and hurriedly turned the direction of the bow and crossbow and shot at Lu Kai and the others in front.
With their change of direction, the Jin army on the city wall immediately got a chance to breathe, and under Yu Yan's shout order, the Red Army, who had already held their breath, responded one after another, picked up the bow and arrow beside them, and shot wildly at the Red Army under the city.
"Plop, pounce, pounce!"
As more and more Red soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, the ranks of the Red Army began to be chaotic, the people in front were reluctant to advance, and the people in the back were squeezing forward vigorously.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Fang, who was in the rear, hurriedly ordered to withdraw the 50,000 crossbowmen at the front of the ranks, and the infantry behind them replaced them.
Hearing the military order, all the crossbowmen of the Red Army were relieved, how dare they stay in place for longer, and ran to the rear of the team like a race.
The Red Army crossbowmen retreated, Lu Kai's task was equal to the successful completion, it stands to reason that at this time he should lead people back to the city in time, but Lu Kai was very meritorious, and saw from a distance that there was a red general not far away who was commanding the team, he didn't say a word, and directly urged the horse to run over.
And said that the red general was arranging the arming, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually coming, he subconsciously looked back, and suddenly his nose was almost crooked, and he was planning to lead the army to attack, but he didn't expect that there was a Jin army who was not afraid of death and dared to take the initiative to find him!
The red general snorted coldly, urged the horse to meet him, and after taking the face, the two didn't even ask their names and surnames, and they came up and started.
"Golden thief, take your life!" said the red general, raising the mace in his hand, aiming it at Lu Kai's head, and slamming it down viciously.
Lu Kai was not in a hurry, reined in the war horse, raised the Aotian sword in his hand, and took the opponent's stick.
"Dangchang!"
First, a piercing sound of iron clashing spread, followed by the crunch of broken bones.
Turning his gaze to the field, to everyone's surprise, Lu Kai was smashed by a heavy stick from the red general, and then Xiangxia, it turned out that Lu Kai had stood on the ground at some point, and he stepped off the war horse and broke all four hooves, bleeding from seven holes, and died on the spot.
A vigorous war horse was shocked to death by the power of the opponent's stick, and the bones were shattered, which shows how strong this red general is, Lu Kai is nothing, stood up on the ground, looked down at his war horse, and secretly said that it was a pity.
At this time, the red general turned the mace in his hand, condescendingly, and stabbed Lu Kai's heart with the tail of the club.
When the opponent's stick tail was about to stab closer, Lu Kai didn't even raise his head, and the Aotian Sword in his hand swung his hand and hit the stick.
"Dangchang!"
There was another crisp sound, and the mace was knocked out alive.
Lu Kai raised his head, looked up at the red general, and said coldly: "If you want to compete with strength, I will accompany you!" As he spoke, he bent his knees slightly, then stood up, jumped more than two meters high on the spot, and crossed the top of the red general's head.
"Whoosh-"
This sword, the strength is so great, it makes a dull sound of breaking the wind, although it is not harsh, but it is like an invisible stone pressing on people's hearts, making people breathless, the red general is shocked, dare not slack off, and hurriedly parry.
But Lu Kai's sword with all his strength is something that this red general can parry, at the moment when the weapons of the two sides collided together, the red general's horse fell to the ground in response, and the red general was like a disarmed cannonball, directly ejected to the rear, flying five or six meters away, before falling to the ground with a thud.
Chi Jiang lay on the ground, and before he could get up, he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a wow, and then looked at his arms, which were already twisted and invisible, and it could be seen that these arms were useless from now on.
Lu Kai dragged the Aotian Sword, walked slowly to the front of the Red General, first raised his eyes to look at the many Red Kingdom soldiers in front of him, and then raised the Aotian Sword in his hand high, and swung it violently with one arm.
"Pounce!"
The red general's big head was cut off in response, and scarlet blood spurted out from the broken neck, splashing on Lu Kai's black armor, one black and one red, two distinct eyes, which looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
With just one move, Lu Kai took the life of the red general, and the surrounding Red soldiers all gasped, and in the huge camp, the quiet crows were silent, only the whirring and wheezing were left, and people opened their frightened eyes and looked blankly at Lu Kai who was carrying a severed head in front of the two armies.
Xuanyuan Fang, who had been standing at the back of the team watching the battle, frowned secretly, and after a long time, Fang shook his head lightly and sighed: "The enemy army is really good!"
Hearing this, a red general beside him stepped forward and said, "General, the last general is willing to meet the enemy general for a while!"
Xuanyuan Fang waved his hand, sneered, and said with a bright eye: "I have my own way to deal with the generals of the Jin Army." ”
"Does the general have a way?" asked the Red General cautiously.
"You don't have to worry about this. As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fang pointed his finger at Twin Peaks City and shouted: "Pass my military order, the cavalry will fight in the front, the whole army will attack, and after half an hour, no matter what the victory or defeat, the whole army will withdraw immediately!"
When the red general heard this, he said with a sad face: "General, half ...... I'm afraid it will be difficult to make progress in half an hour...... "It's impossible at all!" The red general silently added in his heart.
"Just do as I say!" Xuanyuan Fang shouted.
"Yes! General!" General Chi glanced at Xuanyuan Fang deeply, no longer hesitated, replied, and led the order to walk away quickly.
