Chapter 439: Please enter the urn
Rumble!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
On the tower of the city, the war drums were beating, and the huge drums rolled out, and the sound shook the sky, spreading all over the heavens and the earth, and hitting everyone's heart.
"Kill!" Yan Cheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately shouted loudly, finally stabilizing the army's heart and moving forward bravely.
Thundered!
The ground shook suddenly, and it seemed as if an earthquake had suddenly struck.
The charging army was slightly disorganized, and the soldiers looked around nervously.
Thundered!!
The ground trembled more and more, and the shouts could be faintly heard, and the sky suddenly darkened, full of suppressed murderous aura, as if the mountain rain was coming.
The speed of the army's charge slowed down, and the Red Flame Horse became uneasy, and many soldiers were dismounted in panic, and then trampled by the cavalry behind, and the screams were drowned out.
Thundered!!!
The earthquake became more intense, and the smoke and dust suddenly rose from the left and right, and the shouts became louder and louder.
"What's going on?" Yan Cheng's face finally changed, and he reined in the reins of his horse and told the whole army to stop charging.
His gaze looked to the sides, and his pupils suddenly constricted, and he faintly saw the shadow of the cavalry in the smoke and dust.
Damn it!
"General Yan! We seem to be in an ambush!" General Li looked at each other, his face full of anxiety, and his hunch was indeed correct.
As soon as the words fell, the shouts on both sides were more clearly visible, and even the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.
You don't need to see the red flame horses to know that they are red flame horses, these are all cavalry, no wonder the momentum is so huge!
"Kill with me!" On the left, Wang De took the lead with a spear, and the 20,000 cavalry behind him roared loudly, stepping on the sky full of dust, like an arrow, rushing towards the army in the middle.
"Kill!!" On the right side, Li Qiong brandished a pair of hammers and was unwilling to be left behind, and rushed out with excitement on his face, and the 20,000 cavalry behind him roared and flew out like a vicious wolf, opening his bloody mouth towards the army in the middle.
"Why are there so many people?" I couldn't see the fiery red piece of my head pressing down from both sides, and I couldn't tell the specific number of people for a while, how great was the pressure?
The army under Yan Cheng's command was in turmoil, the soldiers were at a loss, and they looked around blankly, and even the Red Flame Horse was restless.
"General Yan! they have already prepared, let's withdraw quickly!" Li Kuo had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his hands and feet were cold, no wonder the surroundings were so quiet, the city gate was closed in broad daylight, and there was not a single soldier guarding the city on the city tower, all this was abnormal enough to show that this was a trap.
Use Lu Feng's 10,000 cavalry to paralyze them, make them careless, and then suddenly flank them on both sides, trying to defeat them in one fell swoop.
"Withdraw, where can we retreat?" Yan Cheng clenched his spear and said coldly.
"Of course it's a retreat!" Li Kuo said eagerly.
"Retreat? Since they have laid an ambush on both sides, do you know that there will be no ambush in the rear?" Yan Cheng sneered.
Before the words fell, the rear of the army suddenly became loud and dusty, and the shouts shook the sky.
Li Kuo suddenly panicked, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on behind you?"
A general urged his horse with a panicked face, and said to Yan Cheng and Li Kuo: "Report to the two generals, something is wrong! A large number of men and horses suddenly appeared in our rear, and the sound was more than 10,000 people!"
"It's over!" Li Kuo's face turned pale, his body shook, and he felt that all his strength had been drained.
"Two generals, what should we do now?" asked the general with a look of eagerness.
"What else can I do, of course I rushed out!" Yan Chengtie said with a blushing face.
"There are strong enemies on all sides, where are we going? I said a long time ago that this is not good, but you insist on going your own way!" Li Kuo suddenly asked angrily, if it weren't for Yan Cheng's instigation, where would he be so bold to go against the marshal and the imperial prince and the army to fall into such a situation?
"What's the use of you talking about this now, Lu Feng has been calling himself a general just now, although I don't know what happened, I can guess a rough idea, now the one who commands the army on the North Road must be the Seventh Prince, the reason why he took us under the knife is to establish his authority, if he doesn't kill it, there will only be a dead end!" Yan Cheng was also annoyed, and said coldly.
"Then there is no other way?" Li Kuo suddenly felt bad, and laughed miserably.
"Hmph! Look at your cowardice, I really don't know how you got into it now, even if you add the city guards, the Seven Princes will not exceed 80,000 people, and the troops are scattered, let alone 100,000 people on our side, what is there to be afraid of?" Yan Cheng snorted coldly, it was really a pig teammate, and the mud couldn't support the wall.
"The general has ordered, now that we have no way to retreat, we must break the cauldron and sink the boat, all the soldiers will charge forward with me, and enter Yongning Mansion, and great things can be done!" Yan Cheng raised his arms and shouted, and suddenly the turbulent military spirit calmed down slightly.
They have no way to retreat, there are only 10,000 cavalry of Lu Feng in front, and they can go straight to Yongning Mansion, which is the best direction to break through.
"Kill!" Yan Cheng shouted loudly, and took the lead in rushing to Lu Feng's camp in the direction of the city gate, and suddenly the generals and soldiers in the army had a direction, and they rushed out together, and the 50,000 cavalry who took the lead were like rainbows, and the murderous aura was rolling, and they really had an unstoppable meaning.
"A beautiful woman, but a thief. Yang Yan stood on the city tower and watched the scene of the 100,000 army charging, and shook his head slightly.
This Yan Cheng has some ability, and in a situation where he is embattled, he can still twist the morale of the army into a rope to find the most favorable conditions, but unfortunately, it is not a friend or foe.
Lu Feng and his 10,000 cavalry remained motionless, as if they were overwhelmed by the momentum of Yan Cheng's army, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Cheng's mouth.
No wonder the Seventh Prince will take away his military power overnight.
Lu Housong is getting older and more confused, and he actually recommended such a person to the emperor, saying that he was alone and killed the enemy's commander, it was all made up nonsense, right?
The reason why the cavalry is powerful is its mobility, unparalleled speed and the momentum of the charge are all great weapons to break the enemy, so the cavalry needs a wide field in order to make the speed of the war horse reach the best.
Lu Feng didn't even know this truth, he didn't move in the face of their charge, these 10,000 cavalry were living targets, vulnerable to attack!
Yan Cheng could even imagine that the army would cross and tear through Lu Feng and the 10,000 cavalry like a piece of paper, and enter the city in one fell swoop.
While fantasizing, he charged, getting closer and closer to the city gate, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the ground under the charging army suddenly collapsed, and the dust flew, and the red flame horses let out a mournful neighing sound, and fell into the big pit, and in an instant, people turned over on their backs, and the screams came and went.
Yan Cheng and Li Kuo rushed to the front, and without defense, they planted people and horses into the pit, and were almost buried alive by the men and horses planted in the back and the collapsed soil.
"Bastard!" At this moment, Yan Cheng still has the pride he had before, his whole body is covered with sludge, his eyes are spewing fire, there is such a shameless person, he actually digs such a big pit on the way into the city, and there is no trace of abnormality on the surface.
Looking at it, his face suddenly became even more pale, and even there was a look of despair, the 100,000 army, the 50,000 cavalry who charged in front of him were only a few who could be counted at a glance and were spared, and the infantry was also planted in a large area, a blur of flesh and blood, I don't know how many dead and wounded.
Thundered!
"Kill!"
The cavalry on the left and right sides and the rear rolled and killed, shouting to kill the heavens, and crushing the psychological defense line of the rebels step by step, without the slightest courage to resist, almost unable to withstand the pressure, and wanted to disarm and surrender.
"Damn, I won't believe it, rush out with me!" Yan Cheng yelled, trying to get out of the pit.
"Archers. On the city tower, at the moment when the ground collapsed, Yang Yan spoke lightly.
As soon as the words fell, the originally empty and defenseless city wall sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and soldiers wearing iron armor all over their bodies appeared, each carrying an arrow on their backs and holding a longbow, almost drawn into a full moon shape.
The sharp arrows shoot out the cold light in the light of the setting sun, and the cold enters the hearts of people!
In the huge pit, the soldiers who wanted to rush out of the pit saw hundreds of archers on the city wall suddenly appear, and the cold light came into view, and they were cold, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
“...... Please enter the urn, good means!" Yan Cheng suddenly felt that the general trend had gone, and showed a desperate smile.
It seems to be surrounded on all sides, and it is attacked on all sides, but in fact, the real killing machine has always been in the front that seems to have the least number of troops and the largest success rate, and Lu Feng's 10,000 cavalry only played the role of bait and blindfolding, and the three-sided encirclement without knowing the situation forced him to charge towards the front, and naturally fell into the trap.
Such a wonderful tactic, although as an enemy, Yan Cheng had to praise: he didn't lose unjustly!
Of course, what he admires the most is the person who dug out the huge pit, you must know that it is extremely difficult for such a big pit not to be discovered, especially when the cavalry charge of 100,000 people on both sides made the ground shake endlessly, and it didn't let this pit collapse, not even showing a flaw, until they rushed into it, it was incredible!
At this time, on the city tower, one of Yang Yan's personal guards, Zhang Dali, stepped forward, and his burly figure made it possible for people outside the city to see him.
"His Royal Highness ordered that your rebellion should have died, but His Royal Highness sympathized with Er and others who had been Tianyang soldiers, killed the enemy to serve the country, and couldn't bear to kill, and now, except for the generals at all levels above the commander of a thousand commanders, the rebel generals Yan Cheng and Li Kuo, the rest will not be killed!"
A loud voice like thunder came out, and there was an uproar among the rebels, their morale was low, and they were suppressed in the pit by bows and arrows, and there were tens of thousands of troops surrounded by them outside the pit.
Many of them were not willing to rebel, but because they were forced by the situation and the bewitchment of Yan Cheng and Li Kuo.
As for Yan Cheng and Li Kuo, as well as the generals above the commander of a thousand commanders, they are not pardonable, and not many people care.
"Good means! However, I, Yan Cheng, will never sit still!" Yan Cheng's eyes closed, and when he opened them again, he was already resolute.
"Soldiers, don't listen to his gossip to confuse the public, the Seventh Prince is ruthless, forcing us to rebel is just to establish authority, how can he easily let you go? This is just to make you give up resistance and reduce casualties, once this matter is over, your fate is definitely not much better than death, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight with me, even if you die, you should die on the battlefield, this is like a man!" Yan Cheng said loudly, the voice reached everyone's ears, and it was very demagogic.
