Chapter 90: The Siege IV
"Go ahead, too, and behave well. Ye Qing said to the new captain of the guard beside him.
"Yes," the young captain of the guard replied excitedly.
Immediately, he yelled and said, "Enter Aoba City." With a loud roar, 10,000 guards who were ready to go followed the captain of the guard to the head of the city.
"Kill, kill, kill. "On the one hand, it is led by Cheng Dan, there are a large number of them, and the combat effectiveness is quite reluctant, giving up half of the city wall, and the coalition army that wants to fight with Ye Qing at the head of the city.
On the other side is the well-trained Ye Army, whose combat effectiveness is amazing. The two armies fought hard at the head of this Aoba Castle.
This battle was killed, and the sky was dark, and the moon was dark.
From early in the morning, it was a full hour of killing. Scalding blood stained almost the entire wall.
The earth-shattering shouting and killing sound made the people in the city hug their families and hide in the quilt and shiver.
I thought the end was coming.
In the end, it was Ye Qing's army that had the upper hand, no matter how many coalition troops there were, in the face of the Ye army, whose quality was obviously one level higher than that of the coalition army, the coalition army's crowd tactics had become a foil in addition to causing a small casualty to the Ye army.
In a small place like the Land of Chaos, it is generally good for a small town to be able to cultivate a general-level master, the strength of the city level, the strongest master is also a handsome master.
But in the current Qingyun Army, the officers of the regular army at the level of captain are basically masters of the handsome rank, not to mention the captains who have reached the Hou rank.
In this siege army, there are as many as a dozen handsome masters and hundreds of general-level masters, under the leadership of these strong men, the Ye army soldiers, who are not weak themselves, are even more than exerted, and for a time they even pressed several times the enemy to fight.
"Kill. There was another neat shouting of killing, and there were more and more Ye troops in the city. More and more. Even, the "Ye" handsome flag representing the Ye army was planted on the head of the city by the soldiers.
On the other hand, the non-commissioned officers of the coalition army, although they still maintain the advantage of numbers, have lost the barrier of the city wall, and slowly retreat towards the city, and their numerical advantage is not so obvious, in the past short period of time, a total of more than 100,000 soldiers fell to the ground, and they were wiped out in a battle.
There are also some coalition soldiers who have a deep fear of the strong Ye army, and they don't even dare to fight with the Ye soldiers, so they directly throw away their weapons and armor, and mix into the homes of residents in the city.
Now, the soldiers that the coalition can still gather are only in their early 200,000s, although there are still more than Ye Qing's soldiers, but it is not so obvious, and the morale of the entire coalition army is low, and now it is completely relying on the instinct of daily training to fight.
And Ye Qing's army, although it also lost thousands of people, its morale was high, and it almost played twice as high as usual.
"Boss, what should I do now, if it goes on like this, the whole army will be scattered, do you want to withdraw first?" Cheng Dan, as the commander, was given special care by the Ye Jun soldiers, although he was still alive, but the soldiers' personal soldiers had changed for I don't know how many waves, and even he himself was also colored.
At this moment, it is seen that defeat is already on the horizon. A close general under Cheng Dan planned to retreat back to the territory with Cheng Dan.
"No, we still have 200,000 troops in our hands, as long as we use them properly, we still have hope of winning, although it is very slim, but once we retreat, then these armies will really disperse, and even we will die and be buried. Cheng Dan was extremely embarrassed, his body was stained with blood, and he didn't know where the golden helmet on his head had gone.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the whole army were lethal, and Cheng Dan, as the commander, naturally did not have to go to the front line to fight. But the Ye soldiers are too strong, and the leading generals are all masters, Cheng Dan sent people to launch a counterattack several times, wanting to push these people off the city wall as a whole, and even he himself stepped forward to fight.
But the result was all a failure.
"And I lost so many troops in this battle, and I still didn't hold Aoba Castle, and I didn't even delay for some time, and now when I go back, the lord won't spare me easily. ”
"This battle is not a war crime, but the enemy is too strong. The flying stones on the head are like stars falling, and the soldiers are afraid. In desperation, the general had no choice but to abandon half of the city wall and fight a decisive battle with the other side. Now the losses are heavy and gradually lost. I believe that even if the castle is abandoned, the lord will not blame the general. The cronies persuaded with hatred on their faces.
What he said is absolutely true, if there is no thunderbolt car and a well car on his head, Cheng Dan can also organize a large army to confront Ye Qing, although he may not be able to win, but it can still be done if he delays for a certain amount of time.
However, the use of large-scale thunderbolt vehicles, as well as the use of large siege equipment such as well carts, which had never appeared before. Let Ye Qing occupy the absolute upper hand.
At this moment, a hurried shout suddenly came from the direction of Nancheng.
"Boss, boss. Urgent military situation, urgent military situation!!"
A soldier dressed as a herald was galloping forward on a crooked warhorse.
It was clear that both the horse and the herald had traveled long distances, and that they had not been given enough time to rest, and that the horses and heralds had basically run out of gas.
Just when Cheng Dan was less than twenty steps away, the war horse finally couldn't support it, stumbled, fell to the ground, and began to foam at the mouth, and the layman also knew that this war horse was no good.
As for the herald on the war horse, it was thrown very high, and under the action of inertia, it fell directly three steps away from Cheng Dan, but it was already less intake and more out.
"Boss, Qingniu City has been besieged by Qingyun's 100,000 army, and it is already in danger, and the lord orders to return to the aid immediately!!" With his strong will, this herald completely lost his life after completing his mission.
Maybe today is the bad luck day of the coalition army, this herald of Qingniucheng is not the only one, in the next stick of incense, there are several batches of heralds in a row, including all the forces of the coalition army, the content is similar, basically the nest has been attacked by the Qingyun army, and it is necessary to send troops to support.
You must know that this Qingye City blocking battle, but concentrated nearly two-thirds of the coalition army, and most of them are still elite soldiers in the major forces, but most of the soldiers who really stayed to defend the nest are new recruits or old and weak, and now in the face of the elite attack of this Ye army, they immediately felt the danger, and sent heralds to recall their elite soldiers.
Unfortunately, the idea is good, but the timing is indeed the fatal blow to the coalition forces.
You must know that these heralds did not avoid the soldiers next to them when they conveyed the military situation, and because it was the last voice made by the heralds before they died, all of them seemed to be particularly loud, and basically everyone within a hundred steps around them could hear them clearly.
And these military intelligences, not only failed to save the coalition forces, but became the last straw that crushed the morale of the coalition forces.
The 200,000 coalition army, which was originally afraid of the strength of the Ye army, was on the verge of collapse, and relied on a little military discipline trained in peacetime to maintain the soldiers' belief in combat, which also shows that these coalition soldiers are still good, but it became a tragedy when they encountered such a strong army as the Ye army.
The coalition soldiers who learned that their hometown was besieged now can't care about any military discipline, their back roads are about to be cut off, and their nests are not guaranteed, who is still in the mood to fight hard here, facing such a strong and perverted army.
The current coalition soldiers only want to escape from Aoba Castle as soon as possible and save their lives, but there is no morale at all, and the 200,000 moraleless army that is in chaos is not even as good as a group of rabble.
There was a hint of bitterness in his mouth, and it slashed into his belly. Cheng Dan's whole person was in a trance.
"Let's go, General. In an instant, most of the coalition soldiers had fled, and even the rest were ready to move, and Ye Jun found out, perhaps because he had also discovered the changes in the coalition army, and had begun to send a large army to start attacking with all his might.
Now the rest can be said to be Cheng Dan's diehards, and suddenly some of them blocked in front of Cheng Dan, and the other part pulled him and wanted to leave.
"The thief will be repaired. On the left, Yang Fan was holding a big knife and cut down a coalition soldier, and when he saw Cheng Danban fleeing, he couldn't help but shout.
Yang Fan is the captain of Ye Qingxin's personal guard, and he is also a rising star in Ye Jun, he is already a handsome master at a young age, and he has few opponents in the same level of masters, and more importantly, Yang Fan is not good at martial arts, and his knowledge level is also good, which is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
At this moment, the whole person seemed to come out of blood, exuding a strong smell of blood, his eyes were like Tongling, and his majesty was soaring into the sky.
There was a loud roar, and no one was frightened.
After fighting for nearly an hour, Yang Fan had already entered the state.
Yang Fan held a big knife and drank again and again. cut down more than ten people and rushed towards Cheng Dan. On the way, Cheng Dan's personal soldiers, who rushed up to resist Yang Fan, had almost no enemies.
Yang Fan's performance was excellent, and the performance of others was not bad.
I saw that more than a dozen commanders of the Ye army led the soldiers under their command into more than a dozen arrows and shot into the chaotic coalition army.
Cheng Dan is not a pedantic person, seeing that the general trend has gone, he immediately fled towards the chaotic army under the protection of the soldiers' personal guards.
But Yang Fan was a step faster, and he took out the bow behind his back. In addition to the bow, there is also a quiver on the back.
As the captain of Ye Qing's personal guard, Yang Fan's bow and arrows are naturally not weak, and the arrows are among the entire Ye army, and his archery skills can also be ranked first.
Inside the quiver, there were only five arrows left. In the fight just now, Yang Fan shot Cheng Dan several times. But it was all because the coalition soldiers desperately resisted.
