Chapter 510: The Lie Family is defeated

The Liejia lost a lot of people this time, and there were only more than 1,000 heavy infantry killed and wounded, while the loss of the catapult was large, with a loss of as much as half, and it would be much more troublesome to replenish this thing, and it would take a lot of time to delay.

However, at the instigation of the Valley of the Beast King, the Lie family did not mobilize catapults, but made a comeback the next day, preparing to take Chu City in one fell swoop.

This time the Liejia army changed its formation, opening the way with heavy cavalry, followed by heavy infantry, followed by light infantry, archers and slingers and baggage soldiers together, the last of the line was the light cavalry, obviously the commander was well versed in the art of war, knowing that the light cavalry was almost useless in siege warfare, and rushing up was only cannon fodder, which was fully proved from the previous wolf thieves.

When the opponent entered the attack range of the archers, Fang Heyu gave the order to attack, and the rain of arrows and boulders flew out at the same time, pouring down and directly stopping the charge of the heavy cavalry.

After all, the defense of the heavy cavalry is very strong, although it cannot continue to advance, but it has not suffered any damage, at most it is under tremendous pressure.

The heavy infantry followed, passed through the heavy cavalry lineup in front, rushed to the front, and immediately took the attack of Chu City, and then the heavy cavalry continued to advance, so the two teams advanced in turn, and soon came to the front of the moat.

The heavy cavalry easily crossed the moat with the iron cavalry under the crotch, and at this time, Fang Heyu immediately ordered the archers and trebuchets to bombard the heavy infantry in the rear only, and completely ignore the heavy cavalry.

The Liejia army immediately fell into an embarrassing situation, because the footsteps of the heavy infantry were stopped, and they could not cross the river, let alone attack the city, and if the heavy cavalry wanted to attack the city, they had to abandon their horses and climb the city wall, which was obviously impossible.

The abandonment of the horse by the cavalry is no different from suicide on the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry will be greatly weakened when it leaves the horse.

In the rear of the Liejia army, the trebuchets also began to exert their might, but the offensive was all resisted by the heavy infantry on the city wall, although the smoke was huge, but there was no practical effect.

Fang Heyu showed a hint of a smile, and Yue'e said, "Husband, those heavy cavalry rushed to the city, why are they stupid?"

"Hehe, what else would you tell them to do? Abandon their horses and attack the city? Even if they are willing to abandon their horses, don't you see, the ladders are all in the hands of the heavy infantry, can they climb the city with their bare hands? That will only become our target. ”

Yue'e also understood, and said with a smile: "Husband, you are so bad, have you calculated it?"

"I knew they would open the way with heavy cavalry, and now I wonder if their commander is in pain. Fang Heyu smiled evilly.

That's right, the commander of the Liejia Army was indeed extremely painful, but he was finally an experienced veteran, and immediately waved the flag and recruited the stupid heavy cavalry back, and the heavy cavalry re-crossed the moat and took over the heavy infantry and began to withstand the arrow rain attack of Chu City.

It is much more difficult for the heavy infantry to cross the river, and the moat is mainly to prevent infantry raids, because the city wall is most afraid of the approach of the infantry, once close to the city wall and climb the city, there is a possibility of breaking the city.

However, the commander of the Liejia family was indeed very good, and he played one flag after another, and the heavy infantry immediately took action, inserting the heavy sword into the scabbard behind his back, and then each heavy cavalry picked up a heavy infantry, and used the heavy shield of the other hand to resist the attack of the arrow rain, clamped down on the crotch, and the war horse understood, and jumped directly over the moat.

Fang Heyu nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, this commander is very good......

Soon the heavy infantry crossed the moat, and then the heavy infantry in the rear threw the ladder in their hands with all their might, and the heavy infantry crossing the river could finally start a real siege battle.

Fang Heyu ordered in a deep voice, and said: "The lightly armed infantry went to the head of the city, ready to start a white-knuckle battle, ordered the trebuchet to change the wooden mark, destroy the trebuchet in the distance, and let the archers temporarily withdraw from the city head and find a place to rest." ”

The head of Chucheng was also in full swing, and after the archers withdrew, the pressure on the Liejia army was also suddenly lightened, and all the heavy infantry also crossed the moat and began to build ladders to climb the city.

Soon the Liejia army rushed to the head of the city, and they were greeted by the elite heavy infantry and light infantry of Chu City, and the white-knuckle battle began in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow and flesh flew sideways, and the battle directly entered the white heat.

Although the Liejia army went to the city, the situation did not improve, you must know that the infantry in Chu City was almost all a fresh force, that is, the heavy infantry resisted several rounds of trebuchet attacks.

Because of the long-term invasion of the Liejia army, which was attacked by the rain of arrows for a long time, it had already consumed a huge amount of money, and it was physically and mentally exhausted, and the battle did not start for a long time, and the Liejia army began to suffer casualties.

In the distance, the trebuchets of the Liejia Army were once again destroyed by dozens of trebuchets in Chu City, and only less than ten of them were withdrawn, which can be described as heavy losses.

Without the reinforcements of their own trebuchets, the Liejia army was even worse, and the battle was one-sided. At this moment, Fang Heyu ordered everyone to take the Divine Light Pill, and the momentum of the infantry in Chu City suddenly flourished, and the combat effectiveness increased by a geometric multiple.

There was no longer a battle on the city, but a one-sided slaughter, and the number of casualties of the Liejia army increased exponentially.

They don't understand, why the combat effectiveness of the Chucheng infantry is so strong, even if it was before, the other party is a new force after all, and it is normal for one's own side to be suppressed, but now it is not suppressed, but slaughtered, what is the situation?

The military spirit of the Liejia army was directly destroyed, and all the soldiers had a fear mentality, and even deserters had begun to appear, jumping off the city wall regardless of their lives.

This white-knuckle battle at the head of the city lasted less than half an hour before it ended, ending with the complete rout of the Liejia army, and the vast majority of the Liejia's heavy infantry were killed, and the light infantry died only because they rushed up from behind.

At this time, the Liejia army did not order to retreat at all, but all the Liejia troops involuntarily retreated, and were once again wantonly slaughtered, and the number of people who successfully escaped back was less than one-tenth.

On the other hand, on the Chu City side, because Fang Heyu ordered everyone to take the Divine Light Pill in advance, the casualties were extremely limited, and this battle could almost be said to be a complete victory.

The only pity is that the opponent's heavy cavalry structure is still intact, and Fang Heyu did not send people out of the city to pursue it with a hot head, otherwise it will further expand the results of the battle.

The Liejia army retreated like a tide, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight, and the soldiers and civilians of Chucheng cheered again, of course, Fang Heyu also ordered all the infantry to rest quickly, and at the same time, food and nutrition should also keep up, so that they can recover their strength as soon as possible.

In this battle, the heavy infantry of the Liejia army was almost lost, and there were less than ten catapults, and the remaining large number of cavalry and light infantry were even more difficult to break through the city, and the most difficult part of this battle had already passed.

Chu Cheng once again launched a celebration banquet, but on the contrary, in the tent of the defeated Liejia army, there was an extremely gloomy atmosphere.

Sitting in the first place, that is, the so-called Beast King Valley, is a middle-aged man, with long fairy wind bones, but his eyes reveal a bit of yin and owl color, and he is not good at first glance.

At this time, the middle-aged man spoke: "Master of the Lie family, I didn't expect that your Lie family's army is also vulnerable, this battle is almost a complete defeat, and even the other party's fur has not been injured, it seems that the Lie family is just in vain." ”

An old man with a drooping hand was Lie Zhen, the head of the Lie family, he didn't dare to contradict this big man in the Beast King Valley, but said with a wry smile: "Lord Remnant Heaven, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's really that the Chu Cheng army has a strong pill support, I have carefully asked the surviving soldiers, they said that the Chu Cheng army originally only had a slight upper hand, but after taking a pill, its combat effectiveness soared, and our army was instantly defeated, in my opinion, the problem lies in that medicine." ”

Remnant Tian nodded and said: "I also sent someone to ask, of course it is impossible for the warriors to lie at the same time, that is to say, they have a powerful medicine, and it can be produced in large quantities, I will report this to the valley lord immediately." ”

On the other side of the Fierce Shock, another master from the Beast King Valley, Tie Yi, spoke: "Brother Remnant Tian, don't be busy yet, we should find out this matter before reporting it, right?" You know the temper of the valley master, and such an unclear report will be reprimanded. ”

Remnant Tian nodded and said, "Then Brother Tieyi means ......"

"At the very least, we should find out the ins and outs of that medicine, who refined it, and even got the prescription, so that we can explain it to the valley master." ”

Remnant Tian frowned and said, "It's a little difficult, and we have the information of the other party in Chu City, and we haven't heard of any alchemists." ”

Lie Zhen's heart moved, and said: "Two adults, is it possible that it is Fang Heyu's kid, you also know that that kid has looted all the medicinal herbs in the Desperate Valley, we have reason to believe that he is an alchemist himself." ”

The faces of the two changed slightly, and Tie Yi said: "Where did this kid jump out, how can he still refine medicine, and this medicine is also unheard of, can it be said that he is pregnant with an ancient secret recipe?"

Lie Zhen smiled bitterly: "This kid's life experience is a mystery, this person seems to suddenly jump out of the crack in the stone, if it is really him who provides the prescription and refines it himself, it will be troublesome." ”

Remnant Tian said: "Without further ado, immediately report this matter to the valley master, although it has not been clarified yet, but the matter is very important, and it is necessary to let the valley owner know, even if it is reprimanded, it is better than concealing it and not reporting it." ”

Tie Yi agreed: "Then please ask Brother Remnant Heaven to inform the valley master with a secret method." ”

Lie Zhen still had a wry smile on his face, and said: "Two adults, now that my Liejia army is no longer capable of attacking Chu City, where will we go, please show the two adults." ”

Although the remnant sky is ruthless, he also understands the important position of the Lie family, and it is not easy to offend the death of the Lie family, and said: "This battle is not the crime of the Lie family, it is really that the other party is too mysterious and powerful, I think the Lie family master will return to the Lie City with a large army, I will explain to the valley lord that the Lie City has been exempted from taxes for ten years, and I also ask the Lie family master to mourn." ”

Lie Zhen smiled bitterly, although the remnants of heaven exempted them from taxes for ten years, which was a big deal, but they suffered heavy losses this time, and it would take a lot of time and money to retrain an elite heavy infantry.

Of course, Lie Zhen was not dissatisfied, after all, this time he took the initiative to invite Ying, and he couldn't complain about others if he was defeated, and the remnants of the sky were quite exquisite, so he didn't have much to say, so he had to hug his fists and said: "Na Lie will lead people back to Lie City tomorrow." ”

"The master of the Lie family doesn't need to be too frustrated, as long as he breaks through Chu City, are you still worried that he won't be able to get back the losses?" Tie Yi also knew the importance of the Lie family, and said comfortingly.

Lie Zhen knew their thoughts, and only thanked them on the surface, and left in a hurry, but he didn't know that his life and death were no longer in his control.

Lie Zhen returned to his tent, combined the generals of the Liejia army, comforted them, and told them to compensate the sergeants and not cause a mutiny, and then promised to pay double the military pay and take care of the families of the dead soldiers, which barely calmed the unstable atmosphere of the Liejia army.

The next day, Lie Zhen said goodbye to the two of them, and rushed to Philadelphia, the closest to Chu City, with the army, preparing to return to Lie City through the teleportation array, where they had come before, and they also said hello to the helmsman of Philadelphia, but they didn't expect to be defeated.

The army was dejected and marched towards Philadelphia, and Liezhen, who was riding a horse, suddenly reined in the reins of his horse, and waved his hand, and the entire brigade also stopped, because in the middle of the official road in front, Fang Heyu, who was dressed in a white shirt, stood there, looking at them with a smile, and a murderous aura surged over without concealing it, which was just the opposite of his expression, which made Liezhen's heart chuckle.
