Chapter 207: Calculated breakout
Several talismans scattered with fluorescent light quickly drilled into the Lihuo Array at the back door. Ten Lihuo Arrays suddenly shone brightly, and flames spewed out instantly.
A strong column of flames was about to gush out from the fire formation on the city wall, instantly swallowing up all the enemy troops in front of the city wall. Before they could react, they had already disappeared.
The powerful reaction force brought by the ten Lihuo arrays made the back door of Changxiangcheng tremble slightly, and fine cracks appeared in the brick and wood wall, which was vaguely about to collapse.
"Quick! Go down the city wall!" Huang Yuchen shouted loudly, no longer looking at the effect of the Lihuo Formation. He stepped forward and rushed down from the city wall, rode his own war horse, and ran towards the front door.
The remaining defensive soldiers on the city wall immediately evacuated from the back gate wall, carrying their cavalry equipment, arranged in neat formations near the back gate wall. If the back gate is destroyed by the reaction force brought by the Lihuo Formation, they will rush out immediately and annihilate the third camp left by the enemy.
The two hundred people in the city were also notified by the soldiers from the back door and went out one after another and rode the war horses prepared for them. These war horses were all the war horses of the soldiers who fell in the defensive battle. The people rode on the broad horse's backs, trembling and holding the reins tightly.
Huang Yuchen rode on the horse very quickly and felt a little anxious.
The battle at the back door was so fierce, with only less than 10,000 enemy troops siege the city. The front door was wider, and the number of enemy troops attacked was several times that of the back door. I can't imagine how far the battle has reached at this moment.
It was extremely fast and it took less time. Huang Yuchen came to the front wall of the front gate. The deafening shouts filled the entire night sky. All the soldiers climbed onto the wall and threw themselves into the defensive battle of the front gate. Huang Yuchen did not stop at all, turned over and dismounted, and walked up to the front gate in a few steps.
Only after standing on the city wall did he see clearly the tragic battlefield in front of him.
Two city-pushing towers have been destroyed. Many enemy corpses were left on the top of the city, and several of their own soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Under the city wall, a rushing cart has been destroyed, and countless enemy soldiers have died in danger. More than 5,000 enemy troops in the first formation have been exhausted at this moment, and the enemy troops in the second formation are advancing. Four catapults have been set up and huge rocks are being placed.
Before he could see more, Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuchen climbing to the top of the city and immediately shouted anxiously at Huang Yuchen: "Activate the formation!"
Huang Yuchen did not hesitate at all, and immediately condensed talismans in the air. Ten talismans with light yellow fluorescent light appeared in the air in an instant. Huang Yuchen's eyes condensed, waved his hands, and shouted loudly: "Lihuo Formation, start!"
Ten talismans turned into ten yellow lights and quickly penetrated into the fire formation above the city walls and the city gates.
In an instant, the fire surged into the sky, swallowing up everything in front of me.
"boom!"
The enemy's catapult attacked while the Lihuo Array was activated. The huge stones were thrown high and headed straight for Changxiangcheng. When they fell into Changxiangcheng, several houses fell down.
"Go down to the city!" Yu Sheng saw that the Lihuo Formation had been opened, he immediately ordered that all the soldiers act instantly and evacuate the city wall quickly.
The war horses were ready before the war started, and all the soldiers rode on the horse and gathered in the direction of the back door.
"Boom! Boom!" Four catapults kept stimulating, and several large rocks attacked the front gate of Changxiangcheng. About ten feet near the front gate had become a barren land, and there was no vitality within the flame range of the fire array.
Shen Tu Yan was anxiously cursing in the camp, but he had no choice but to do anything, just as he thought. In the face of absolute strength, the number of people may not necessarily have the advantage.
The sky-sky fires on the hills on both sides, and the fires at the front and back doors of Changxiangcheng, for a time, Changxiangcheng seemed to turn into a sea of fire. The strong light of fire shone on the main night sky, as bright as daytime.
Huang Yuchen rode on the horse, followed Yu Sheng, and headed towards the back door. Until now, he finally understood Yu Sheng's intention. From the beginning, he did not intend to fight to the death with the enemy, but instead acted like a death-death battle, forcing the enemy to draw a large number of soldiers around him to siege Changxiangcheng. In this way, the black-armored iron cavalry must face at most half of the enemy. Moreover, in the siege, the enemy must be consumed. When the enemy breaks through, the number of enemies will definitely not even reach half of the total number.
Yu Sheng's plan achieved unexpected results. Not only did the enemy draw so many soldiers to siege Changxiangcheng, but in the final decisive battle, the soldiers at the gates on both sides of Changxiangcheng were unbalanced. In this way, all the soldiers concentrated their efforts to break through the back door and faced only a square formation of 3,000 enemies, which was countless times easier than facing 60,000 people.
"Boom!"
Yu Sheng led a large group of people to the back door, but suddenly heard a deafening sound in front of him. He accelerated his horse's stance and looked forward. He saw a huge gap appeared in the back door city wall. On the left and right, the light pillar of the Lihuo Array had not disappeared, and the Lihuo Array on the gap had destroyed the integrity of the talisman because the city wall was broken, and the fire pillar of the Lihuo Array had disappeared.
Yu Sheng rode his horse and arrived at the back door. The soldiers behind him lined up near the back door, facing the gap in the back door. Huang Yuchen looked around and saw that the seriously injured and dying guard was tied tightly to a war horse, led by a centurion, following behind the team. All the soldiers remained silent, and the fire was reflected in their eyes, shining.
The raging fire from the Lihuo Array is still burning. It is so far away that it can reach the surging heat wave, hitting the face, and a slight burning sensation comes.
Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the enemy's phalanx in the distance through the gap in front of him, his eyes shining cold.
After a moment, the power of the fire array at the back door was exhausted and the power of the flame slowly went out.
"kill!"
Just as the flames were extinguished, Yu Sheng gave a loud order and instantly activated the war horse and rushed out towards the gaps on the back door city wall.
All the soldiers behind him immediately responded, followed Yu Sheng's footsteps, urged the war horses to rush out from the gaps on the back gate city wall.
The crack on the back gate city wall looked small, but it was enough for several knights to rush out side by side. For a moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the black-armored iron cavalry, reflected the sky-sky fire, crossed the burned land in front of them, and rushed towards the enemy formation not far ahead.
Huang Yuchen sat on the war horse, holding the cavalry's standard long halberd tightly in his hand, tightly clamping the horse's belly, and rushed towards the enemy with the fastest speed. At this moment, he had only one idea in his mind, kill!
If you rush into the enemy formation, kill the enemy desperately. If you can kill a few, just a few, you will vent your anger in your heart.
In fact, after seeing the ten Lihuo Formations at the back gate of Changxiangcheng, the remaining three thousand soldiers were already frightened by the sudden violent flames. Including their commanders, they had no combat power.
They could not imagine that after such a long period of fierce fighting, the Dongwangfu army in Changxiang City had such a killer weapon. They could not imagine that after the fierce flames brought by this formation, the enemy's cavalry came to their sight.
Facing this loose enemy phalanx, the enemy soldiers who had no fighting spirit had long been out of fighting spirit. The black-armored iron cavalry of the East Prince's Mansion rushed into the enemy formation like a wolf or a tiger, like a sharp knife inserted into tofu. Without any decent resistance, the black-armored iron cavalry team quickly penetrated the enemy's phalanx and left along the official road at the back gate of Changxiang City.
And this time, the enemy army lost more than half of it.
Yu Sheng, with a kind of soldier, he walked along the official road at the back gate of Changxiang City. Behind them was a sea of fire, and Changxiang City was shrouded in this sea of fire. From a distance, Changxiang City is now like a fire dragon hovering in the dark night, ferocious and terrifying.
Changxiangcheng, Qianmen.
The light column of the Lihuo Array slowly disappeared, and about ten feet from the front door was burning black. The corpses and war equipment that were originally in the square disappeared without a trace.
There was no defender on the city wall, and even the flags of the Eastern Prince's Mansion disappeared at the same time.
Seeing this situation, Shen Tuyan was furious and immediately ordered all the soldiers to attack and pounce on the city wall.
Soon, the entire enclave sergeant advanced without resistance under the gate of Changxiangcheng City. With the help of the Chongcheng car, the main gate of Changxiangcheng was opened without any effort.
There is no one in Changxiang City.
When Shen Tuyan entered Changxiangcheng, he saw the situation inside Changxiangcheng, and his mania and anger reached a peak.
There is no doubt that Changxiangcheng is an empty city. At this moment, the few houses in the city were also smashed by huge stones from catapults. There was no defender in the entire city, and there was no trace of the Dongwang Mansion Army.
Shen Tuyan came to the back door of Changxiangcheng, looked at a gap in the city wall, and was stunned.
The power of the front door's Lihuo array is not worse than that of the back door. Shen Tuyan naturally knew how Changxiangcheng was built. But why the wall of the front door was not damaged, but there was such a big gap in the back door.
After going forward to observe carefully, Shen Tuyan discovered that the enemy had already been tampered with the gap near the gap. This city wall close to the edge, not to mention the formation reaction force, could be pushed by a few soldiers alone.
Seeing now, Shen Tuyan knew that he had completely lost.
Later, before we arrived at Wufeng City, we walked the official road and there were two cities, and the defenders in these two cities together may be less than a thousand people. With the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, these people are simply vulnerable.
The operation of sniping the Eastern Prince's Mansion Army was completely declared a failure. But Shen Tuyan was not panicked. He immediately ordered the gathering of troops and rushed to the next city.
If he suddenly joined the battle between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the defenders near Wufeng City, he would suddenly join the battle and finally win, and he, Shen Tuyan, would have a chance to defend himself. Only by taking over the Eastern Prince's Mansion can his power and status be immune to threats.
