Chapter 247: Siege
He just looked at Xiao Ce coldly, and then looked at the two thousand cavalry who rushed over, and there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
This trace of ridicule looked in Xiao Ce's eyes, and a strong humiliation surged from his heart. Xiao Ce was so angry that he almost went berserk.
He couldn't accept that he was being ridiculed as an ant kid.
In a fit of rage, his eyes became more and more ruthless, and the killing intent in his eyes reached the extreme. He stopped retreating, but waited where he was.
He had to wait for his remaining 2,000 cavalry to come, and he wanted to rush to Jiang Chao's body and kill Jiang Chao under his horse with his own hands.
Even if there is a fire and thunder on Jiang Chao's side, he is not worried about it, what if there is a fire and thunder, will he still be afraid! As long as the cavalry was scattered enough, he didn't believe how much of a threat the thunder could pose to them.
It's just that Xiao Ce seems to have forgotten that in addition to the lethality of fire and thunder, there is also an amazing loud noise. What war horses are most afraid of is this kind of loud noise.
If it is a war horse that is accustomed to shelling, it may not be frightened, but if it is the first time to hear the shelling, it will definitely panic and cannot find its direction.
Just when Xiao Ce was expecting his cavalry team to come over and show his might, cannonballs and bamboo thunder bombarded intensively, even if the two thousand cavalry were scattered, they were still bombarded and killed.
Most of the war horses turned around and ran, how dare they charge forward, even if they are good horse trainers, they are afraid that they will not be able to control the war horses that have been frightened.
The cavalry team, which was still menacing just now, was suddenly in chaos, even if they desperately wanted to stabilize the war horses. It can be bombarded with shells and bamboo mines. The war horses are in even more chaos.
Most of the war horses fled to the city, and only a small number of war horses were forcibly driven by their masters and rushed to the position of the subordinate army on Jiang Chao's side.
Unfortunately, there were less than five hundred cavalry and horses rushing over. Facing the army of children who had been prepared for a long time, of course, they were delivering food.
Not only were the horses stabbed to death, but the cavalry was also divided by the soldiers.
On the city wall, the Khitan generals were dumbfounded, and they realized that the combat strength of the subordinate army was unparalleled.
With neat action, orderly offensive movements, coupled with seamless tactics, will such an army not be powerful!?
Moreover, even if the cavalry only rushes over a few hundred, you must know that the cavalry has a great advantage over the infantry, and sometimes, even only one or two hundred cavalry is needed to break up two or three thousand infantry.
But the result was that at most, the five hundred cavalry that rushed over were instantly killed by the subordinate army.
Xiao Ce knew that he was underestimating the subordinate army, and although he was full of anger towards Jiang Chao in his heart, he had no choice but to retreat again.
But he withdrew like this, he was really unwilling. He turned his head and shouted at the Khitan generals on the city wall: "The whole army attack, kill them for Ben General!" ”
Since the cavalry is frightened by the war horses and cannot exert their combat power, it is better to use other arms, especially infantry and spearmen. And, of course, archers.
When the Khitan generals on the city wall heard this, they hurriedly rushed down the city wall and quickly led the soldiers of their headquarters to rush outside the city.
They not only want to save Xiao Wei back, but also take this opportunity to directly crush the army of their children.
2,000 children, they don't believe that they can't crush the Khitan army with 5,000 on their side.
As they rushed to kill, fire and thunder fell from time to time in front of the formation of the children's army, and the kind of fire and thunder that exploded when they landed made a large number of Khitan soldiers suffer casualties.
At the beginning, the Khitan army was aroused by the fire and thunder, and all of them rushed towards the position of the subordinate army.
But even so, artillery shells and bamboo mines inflicted immeasurable damage on the Khitan army. Although their army was only three or four miles away.
That is, more than 2,000 meters, with full running, it is estimated that it will take less than two or three minutes to rush to the front.
But in such a short distance, the Khitan army rushed for more than ten minutes, and they didn't rush far, and the might of the shells and bamboo thunder pressed them so much that they could hardly raise their heads.
No matter how fierce they were, they were gradually frightened by the casualties caused by shells and bamboo mines. Anger turned to fear.
However, of the more than 5,000 Khitan troops, hundreds of them rushed to the position of the subordinate army. It's a pity that these numbers of Khitan troops came over and could only deliver food to the children's army.
The uninterrupted and consistent action of the subordinate army is like a harvester, and wherever it passes, the Khitan army is harvested like rice.
The Khitan army of 5,000 was left with less than 3,000 people in an instant. These people are still desperately rushing towards the positions of the children's army. Among these people, there is Xiao Ce.
He now hates the army of his disciples very much, and half of the 8,000 people on his side have only been fighting for a long time, and they are even half dead. He couldn't afford to fail.
It's ridiculous that before the war, he was still mocking the children that they would only flee for their lives. Now that I think about it, the children's army is not fleeing for their lives at all, they are luring the enemy to go deeper.
Although his side suffered heavy damage, Xiao Ce thought that with the soldiers he had in hand now, it was more than enough to destroy the army of his disciples.
After all, they have to be superior in numbers. It's almost twice as large as the children's army.
But just as he was thinking this, the left and right sides suddenly heard earth-shattering shouts of killing. More than a thousand soldiers rushed out from each side.
In the blink of an eye, these subordinate troops rushed towards the Khitan army.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ce's eyes showed a sense of astonishment, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, the troops on his side that originally had the advantage, but now it seems that he doesn't have the slightest advantage.
At this time, he realized that he was too naïve and careless.
If the Zidi Army can be called unparalleled in combat power, it is absolutely impossible to blow it out, which is ridiculous, he didn't believe it before. Now that he has experienced it himself, he realizes how wrong he is.
"Breakout...... Go back to the city......" Xiao Ce reacted and shouted at the soldiers around him.
Now only by rushing back to the city can they have any hope of survival. Otherwise, it's definitely a dead end.
It's a pity that just as he was about to return to the army, Jiang Chao's cold voice sounded.
"Attack with all your might, leave no ......"
With his voice, the army of children who had been impatient for a long time came out of the cage like a tiger. In an instant, he rushed towards the Khitan army that turned and fled.
Jiang Chao took the lead, and his speed was not known how many times faster than when he had just retreated.
When the fleeing Khitan soldiers saw this, their eyes showed a ruthless color. One of the generals turned and rushed towards his army.
"General...... You withdraw first, and I'll cut it off later......"
With his voice, nearly a thousand Khitan soldiers behind him also hurriedly turned around to stop the subordinate army. They wanted to fight for Xiao Ce a chance to enter the city.
As long as they enter the city and defend it, they will not be defeated, nor will they lose the important pass of Dongxingguan.
