Morning!

A thin white light came out of the sky, illuminating the battlefield of last night's terrible battle.

At this moment, the two sides can finally see the situation on the battlefield clearly!

I saw that on the battlefield, the corpses of bandits piled up in a mountain were spread horizontally and vertically, almost a layer on the ground, and there was no place to put their feet, and it was not long to go far to be a dense pit trap, and the bandits who fell into it were stacked together, like stacked arhats, and like rock sugar gourds, and blood flowed down the wooden thorns.

On the battlefield, the bandits, who were still alive and dying, raised their arms with difficulty to ask for help, and their voices were hoarse and unpleasant like a broken bellows.

The tragic scene is reflected in the eyes of those who are still alive.

Everyone is disgusted and vomits when they see it!

The red flesh is turned out, the white bones are exposed, and there is a strong smell of blood in the air!

"Just the charge, how many people have been lost." Someone sighed, vaguely uneasy about the battle that followed.

The bandits are just crazy!

It's definitely a tough fight!

"I'm afraid there must be four or five thousand people..... Li Sandao on the city wall squinted slightly, and estimated the death toll of the bandits under the city.

Hearing this, Chen Chao took a deep breath.

Looking beyond the battlefield, look at the bandit camp in the distance.

Dense tents have been set up there, and after a simple estimate, there are almost forty or fifty thousand bandits who have come to attack Yongguan this time!

"Fifty thousand bandits..... The other party really looks up to us and sends so many people over....."

Li Sandao looked at it, and quickly came to Chen Chao's side to report on the battle situation last night.

Last night, the bandits charged, advancing about one hundred and twenty paces.

It is considered to have basically jumped out of the trap, and after dozens of steps, I crossed the trench and came to the defense line of the sword and shield camp under the city.

Hearing this, Chen Chao asked:

"How many arrows are left?"

"Less than 30%!"

Li Sandao said helplessly.

This time stationed in Yongguan, because Fengcheng, which supplies supplies in the rear, did not give a single weapon and equipment, which led to the Chang Shengjun only having 3,000 arrows on his body, and most of them had been shot out last night in order to resist the bandits.

Today, there are less than 30% of arrows!

It's enough for a few salvos, and after that, there's only an empty bow left!

"Save it." Chen Chao had no expression on his face, and waved his hand: "Tell all the soldiers to prepare, the enemy army is about to start a new round of siege!" ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, the north bank of the Yong River.

Meng Changge stood up, holding binoculars in her hand and looking at the bandit camp on the other side of the river, when she saw those dense tents, her heart instantly cooled.

Exhaled heavily, Meng Changge felt indescribable in his heart:

"Are these bandits crazy? How did you send so many people over! ”

According to expectations, the number of bandits who participated in the attack on Yongguan in the end was no more than 10,000.

But now, the number of bandits has swelled to as much as 50,000, far exceeding the expected number.

Bandits attack Yongguan!

50,000 to 5,000!

Ten to one!

Yongguan is not the kind of city that is particularly easy to defend, it is located on the plain, and there is no natural danger to take advantage of.

Once the bandits launch a general attack, Yongguan is afraid that it will be difficult to survive even today!

"Pass me the order! Only 500 soldiers were left in the Four Phoenix Gates to defend the city! The rest is on display on the north bank of the Yonghe River! ”

"Please think again!" The guard clasped his fists and tried to say, "General, isn't it too risky to do this?" I, the Qin State and Daji, have not had much dispute in recent years! If our Sifeng Gate defenders are displayed on the north bank of the Yonghe River, will the Daji side think that our army has intentions for them? At that time, the contradictions will escalate and cause a national war. ”

Meng Changge didn't listen at all, and shouted violently: "Do what General Ben orders!" Violators, behead! ”

The guard's frightened body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt on one knee: "Obey!" ”

After the guards rode back to Sifeng Gate to issue the order, Meng Changge took a few deep breaths, and his breath gradually evened out.

Her eyes fell on the walls of the small city on the other side of the river, her fists clenched, her fingers turned white, and she muttered to herself:

"Chen Chao, you'd better hold on, otherwise, the grain that General Ben lent you will be wasted, and General Ben will never do business at a loss...... As a last resort, General Ben doesn't mind crossing the river and causing a national war between the two countries! ”

.....

.....

Time passed minute by minute, and the sky was bright!

The two armies are facing each other, and on the battlefield, the atmosphere is serious and depressing!

Before the war, both sides were dead silent.

They all want to see what tricks the other party wants to use.

"Come on, hang Fu Hu up and shout to the other party!"

Before the Great War, the Chen Dynasty issued a final order.

This is the reason why he left Fu Hu's life in the first place, if you guessed correctly, this time the other party came to attack the city with so many men and horses, and the one who commanded the battle was Yao Wu, who was known as the human slaughter and one of the ten bandits in Yunzhou!

Fu Hu is Yao Wu's younger brother, and Yao Wu will not be too ruthless.

It is a little bit to be able to delay a little time.

The guards got the order, and quickly grabbed the dying Fu Hu, tied his hands, hung him on the city wall, and then beat gongs and drums to shout to the other party:

"This is Fu Hu! You brothers of Marshal Yao Wu Yao! ”

"If you want to spare his life, give me ..... back"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, there began to be a lot of turmoil in the opposing camp.

The bandits looked at Fu Hu, who was covered in blood, and exchanged heads and discussions.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for the guards to shout loudly.

An arrow with the thickness of a wrist and a foot long burst through the air, directly and accurately shooting Fu Hu's head, and the corpse's blood and brains splashed all over the city wall.

This scene happened so suddenly that no one expected it.

"General be careful, the other party has a large bed crossbow!"

The guards were worried about the safety of the Chen Dynasty and stepped forward one after another to block it with their bodies.

On the city wall, Chen Chao waved his arm to block the guards who came forward.

With a "sonorous sound", he pulled out the long knife in his sheath and exposed himself to the crossbow arrows of the bed, not afraid at all!

He puffed out his eyes, and green tendons appeared on his forehead, and roared:

"I am the commander of the Changsheng army, Chen Chao!!"

"Wait, do you dare to attack my Yongguan?"

"General!"

The guards shouted anxiously, grabbed Chen Chao hard, and blocked it with their shields.

The general is like this, it will only provoke the anger of the other party!

Sure enough, not long after Chen Chao finished saying these words, the other party's war drums rumbled, and they could be heard clearly from miles away.

"Former Army..... Offensive! ”

"Behead the Chen Dynasty! 10,000 taels of gold! ”

Yao Wu rode on horseback, waved his knife and gave the order to attack directly!

For a while, the bandits' front army formation, full of 10,000 soldiers, shouted and rushed to the small city not far away.

When they were about to enter the range of the bow and arrow, the three sharp swords on the city wall immediately responded: "Prepare the archers!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot them!"

Unlike last night, during the day, when the bandits saw the rain of arrows coming, they raised their shields to block it, and at the same time slowed down the speed of their attack.

Seeing this scene, Yao Wu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't stop!" Rush me, rush to the wall! ”

Hearing this order, the bandit army braved the rain of arrows, stepped past the bandit corpses on the ground in front of them, and the deep pits of traps that could be seen from time to time, and rushed to Yongguan.

In a short time, the army of bandits broke through the walls and approached the walls!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Chen Dynasty personally supervised the battle on the city wall, and the dull war drums sounded.

The sword and shield battalion led by Xu Biao under the city quickly rushed forward.

At the front of the phalanx, there were still soldiers as strong as cattle carrying shields!

Behind the shield, there were pikemen, each holding an iron spear one foot long, the head of the spear glowing with cold light, full of murderous intent!

If conditions permitted, the Chen Dynasty would send a cavalry on each flank to cooperate with the sword and shield battalions.

However, the Changsheng army was only 5,000 people, and it was too labor-intensive to raise a cavalry team, and the only war horses in the army were given priority to the scout battalion for reconnaissance.

Therefore, now he can only rely on Xu Biao's sword and shield battalion to resist the impact of the bandits head-on.

When the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the sword and shield battalion seemed to have received some kind of order, and after only rushing forward for ten steps, they immediately stopped, and the shield array fell to the ground, waiting for the battle.

However, the bandits still roared and rushed forward, and they were about to crash into the sword and shield camp head-on.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! ”

The originally flat, unremarkable flat land was trampled on by the bandits, and suddenly sank in.

Pitfall!

This was the first thought of the bandits, but the next moment, when they rushed to them, they didn't think so.

This is not a trap, but a trench!

The depth is about five or six meters, and the width is three or four meters.

The sharpened wooden spikes are still inserted upside down underneath.

The two armies faced each other across a trench!

The bandits who rushed fast didn't have time to brake, and fell directly into the trench, even if they weren't stabbed by wooden thorns, so deep, they would have broken their legs and broken bones, which was not a pleasant taste. The soldiers in the rear did not know what was happening in front of them, and they swarmed over again, and in this moment, hundreds of bandits had been squeezed into the trench, and the wailing continued.

The trench is three or four meters wide, and it is easy to jump over it for a while.

In fact, the bandits did the same.

Several bandits flew to cross the trench and rushed towards the phalanx on the opposite bank with a roar.

It's a pity that when they were about to land, Xu Biao gave an order, and the shield array was sent forward violently.

The bandits in the air waved their weapons indiscriminately, and before they could cut people, they were knocked out by the shield and fell directly into the trench.

A discerning person must not jump over this trench so stupidly.

The sword and shield soldiers on the opposite shore have a natural advantage, and jumping is death!

And it's for nothing!

The bandits involuntarily wanted to retreat.

Seeing this, Yao Wu, who was commanding the battle in the rear, scolded: "Don't retreat!" Give me offense! Offensive! ”

But the bandits usually have no rules, they are used to being lazy, where will they listen to the generals of Yao Wu's attack, and they are swarming to prepare to go back.

Yao Wu gritted his teeth, seeing that he couldn't stop the retreat of the bandit army, he turned his head to look at the two cavalry battalions on his side, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent!
