Royal Road - Chapter 218

[Chapter 217 | City]

Hearing the sound of the drums echoing in his ears, Liang Feng felt like a tendon had been pulled out in his body, and he could barely stand still.

They defended the city head for three days. Two thousand young soldiers lost six hundred in battle, and the number of wounded soldiers was unknown.

Even the prefect’s mansion recruited a group of people in the city and brought them to the wall, just to resist the tide-like attack.

When will the reinforcements arrive?

Liang Feng is also not clear.

In the city head of the melee, he couldn’t accurately grasp the fighter, let alone predict Yi Yan’s tactics.

But he never gave up for a second.

Because Liang Feng believes that Yiyan will bring him hope of victory at the most appropriate time.

Just like that.

“Release the arrow! Release the arrow!” Ge Hong shouted loudly, pulling the bow and arrow to the extreme.

Those enemies who fell down the ladder, turned around and ran away were simply moving targets, and they could easily slaughter them.

On the top of the city, as long as they can move, whether they can shoot arrows or not, they are all drawing bows and strings.

Under the city wall, the brave battalion led by Zhang He also began to fight freely.

The spear formation is no longer the most powerful weapon. In the event of the enemy’s disintegration, all you need to do is rush up and raise your sword and spear to harvest your life.

There are also cavalry around the enemy’s tent, which are several times more terrifying than the most ferocious Xianbei people.

Countless war horses galloped in the enemy line, and every knife and arrow could take away a life.

The incomparably steed Wusun horse was dyed with blood all over his body, as if he was wearing a crimson shirt.

A cold light flashed, and a cavalryman shouted loudly.

“Enemy chieftains the head!”

The shout was like thunder that pierced the sky, overpowering the rumbling drums.

On the top of the city and under the city walls, everyone cheered.

These three days of fierce battle, hundreds of casualties, and finally achieved victory.

A big victory!

Liang Feng supported the arrow stack and stabilized his figure that was about to fall.

Everything dissipated from his ears, and only the figure remained in his eyes.

Holding a bloody human head in one hand, and a silver-glowing blade in the other, he rode on the blood-stained horse.

Even though he was so far apart, he seemed to be able to see the expression on the man’s face.

Cold, fierce, full of anger, and anxious anger.

The enemy chief gave the head, and the two battalions began to pursue.

Facing the defeated enemy army, it is no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.

Liang Feng just stood on the city, leaning on the cold city wall, watching the bloody battlefield below.

In the depths of his soul, he also followed the footsteps of horses and galloped over the wilderness.

After an unknown time, the sound of the drums stopped, and the chasing men returned slowly.

At this time, he should order to open the city gate and welcome back the group of heroes who rescued Jinyang and defeated 8,000 enemy troops with less than 4,000 soldiers and horses, and even included 2,000 Xianbei cavalry.

But Liang Feng didn’t. On the contrary, he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the southwest.

“Bring the army back to Jinyang!”

he said.

But the volume was far from enough to reach the city.

Even this action may be missed.

There are so many figures on the city wall.

How could it be possible to see clearly at such a distance?

However, the cavalry team that was heading for the city stopped, and the leader of the team threw it in the hand, and a head rolled into the blood-soaked soil.

That is the head of Liu Hu’s item.

Pressing his chest with his free hand, the man gave a military salute to the Liangfu.

Without turning his head, he walked towards the direction of Li Shi.

Behind him, Zhang He also began to withdraw his troops, but instead of following the cavalry, he rushed towards the city.

He understood what he meant.

The last bit of tension in Liang Feng’s heart disappeared, and he almost fell.

I don’t know when, Ge Hong has come behind him, holding his shoulders: “Your Majesty!”

Liang Feng stood firm, squeezed his palms, and then calmed down, and said in a low voice: ” No problem. Remove the sandbags inside the city gate and welcome General Zhang and the others back to the city. Clean the city and appease the people, and the army will return soon.”

“Your Majesty, we have won!” Ge Hong’s voice also contained a bit of uncontrollable joy.

However, there was no such turbulence in Liang Feng’s voice.

He nodded lightly: “Well, we won.”

In a desperate fight, a big victory.

※

In just two days, Linghusheng’s hair turned white.

It is good to stabilize the morale of the army, but retreating under the eyes of the enemy is still not an easy task.

It is necessary to prevent cavalry from attacking, to be alert to raiding the battalion at night, and to worry about whether their own horses will suddenly collapse and the battalion will rebel.

Like a group of lambs shivering and stopping as they walked, guarding against the wolves that followed.

This time, the Huns sent light cavalry, which proved that the other party would not have enough food and grass.

Li Shi has been deserted for so long, and it is estimated that it will not be able to provide food for the army.

In two or three days at most, the enemy will definitely attack again, and even dispatch Liu Huzhong, who was besieging the city of Jinyang, to give them a fatal blow.

However, no matter how worried he was, there was nothing he could do.

The army cannot go fast, let alone return to Jinyang unprepared.

Did that group of Shangdang soldiers save the city?

If you can’t attack it, how will you deal with it?

However, after two days of trepidation, Kuaima flew from Jinyang with the news.

“Jinyang cleared the siege, Liu Hu gave the head?!” Linghusheng stood up abruptly, “Is what you said true?!”

“It is absolutely true!” The messenger’s face was pale, but his voice was excited, “General Yi has already Bring the cavalry here! The three cities of Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wuxian were also recaptured!”

“Good! Good!” Linghu Sheng called out twice, only to feel his shoulders lighten by a few points.

This Yi Yan is really a general!

How many soldiers and horses does the Shangdang have?

He was able to defeat Liu Hu’s 10,000 enemy soldiers, and even took the opponent’s head!

As long as the cavalry arrives, the pressure brought by the opposing Huns will be self-defeating.

They will be able to return to Jinyang smoothly!

It’s all up to Liang Shijun!

“Send this news to the three armies! Set up camp today and wait for General Yi to arrive!”

On this side, Linghu Sheng got the news, but on the other side, Liu Cong was a little anxious.

The herald has already been sent out, why haven’t those Xianbei people sent troops yet?

Could it be that Liu Hu didn’t want to waste his own troops and was going to concentrate on attacking Jinyang?

Is Jinyang about to be breached?

Thinking of this possibility, his heart was extremely anxious.

What is it to win these Jin troops, the biggest achievement is to win the city.

Could it be that he came to Bingzhou this time and returned without success?

However, the next day, unexpected news was in front of him.

“There are reinforcements from the Jin army? Or cavalry?!” asked incredulously, Liu Cong suddenly shivered.

The cavalry, and the state does have.

Isn’t that the one you met in the Shangdang?

If the Xianbei people encountered that cavalry, would they win or lose?

Soon, he knew the answer.

Jinyang City was defeated, Liu Hu was killed, and the Xianbei cavalry was also slaughtered.

Looking at the battle report in front of him, Liu Cong was so angry that he was speechless.

How many soldiers does Jinyang have?

How could it be like this?

!

Even if the Baibu Xianbei is just another Xianbei department, it won’t be so useless, right?

!

Unexpectedly, this is not the end. When he saw the last sentence, the cold hair on Liu Cong’s back stood up: “The three cities of Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wuxian have been seized… oops!”

When were these three cities? Beaten down?

It would not be after Jinyang was besieged.

That is to say, at the same time that the Jin army sent troops to Lishi, a group of troops went to Jingling and seized the city in the first battle.

Then, what is the purpose of sending this army?

And what kind of existence is the empty Jinyang City?

Maybe there are bait on both sides, just waiting for them to take the bait!

“Withdraw the troops!” Liu Cong led without hesitation.

“General! The Jin army is already at the end of its streak, why not attack again…” Some subordinates persuaded.

“The end of the crossbow?” Liu Cong sneered, “I’m afraid that the surname Liang has already calculated it. Show weakness and lure the enemy, and then annihilate in one fell swoop. It’s a good one to wait for work! withdraw troops!”

He personally fought against Liang Zixi’s men and horses, and he knew that the man’s military was unpredictable.

Now that the three cities have been lost, Jinyang has also cleared the siege, and sent cavalry to help.

If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap of the other party, and you will lose everyone in vain.

He has already defended Li Shi, why bother?

It’s just that this little credit is simply not worthy of this dispatch.

With a gloomy face, Liu Cong clenched the whip in his hand.

This Liang Zixi is really his destined opponent.

It’s just that next time, I won’t let him go so easily.

“The Huns have retreated!” Standing in front of the camp, Linghu Sheng’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t hold back his voice.

Unexpectedly, there was only such a large number of cavalry, and the Huns were forced to retreat.

It seems that the news of Jinyang’s relief has also spread.

If the envoy had not prepared in advance, how could such a great victory come about?

“Thanks to General Yi for the rescue this time! If it wasn’t like that, I’m afraid we’d be safe.” Turning his head, Linghu Sheng said to the young general standing beside him.

I don’t know how many enemies were killed the day before yesterday, but this cavalry came in blood, with murderous aura all over it.

However, such a powerful cavalry came to support, the stability of the military can be described as extraordinary.

After learning the news of Jinyang’s relief, the whole army was excited. If the enemy had not retreated early, it would have been a good idea to fight another battle!

“General Linghu did not let the army collapse. It is a great achievement. When you return to Jinyang, you must be happy.” Yi Yan’s voice was calm, but what he said warmed Linghu Sheng’s heart.

Yes, if he and his nephew were not desperately trapping the soldiers, how could it be like now?

It should be noted that they have lost more than 3,000 people. If there is more, they will be on the verge of collapse.

Even if it is a soldier of a hundred battles, it is difficult to hold the formation if it is folded by one-fifth.

Don’t say that their central army was broken, the flag was overturned, and even the main general died in a clean situation.

It’s really hard work to persevere.

With a long sigh, Linghu Sheng said, “I only hope that next time, I can fight alongside General Yi.”

These words are not only compliments, but also surrender.

Yi Yan’s heart was also relieved, and victory was second.

The return of the army and horses in Bingzhou is the result that the lord needs most.

As for Pei Dun’s stubby, it was not in vain for those men in the baggage camp.

With a flicker of anger in his eyes, Yi Yan cleaned up his expression: “I also ask General Linghu to order him to return to the division.”

Without the following enemies, there are more than 10,000 people left. Luckily, we are ready to set up camp and return to Jinyang!
