In order to ensure victory, Xu Sancai asked two war sects and ten war spirits from the Thieves Guild to participate in the ambush, while he and four war sects and five war spirits led the elite legion to make other arrangements. [26nbsp;] The order was soon issued, and the generals went to prepare. There were still thousands of agricultural reclamation troops in the city, who were originally responsible for assisting in the repair of the damage to the fortifications of the city walls, but now they were just digging the traps.
Xu Ling'er asked to join Xu Sancai again, but this time he was a little hesitant. The reason he mobilized four Zhan Zong to accompany him was because the operation was more dangerous. He planned to take advantage of the enemy's sneak attack on the south city gate and launch an anti-sneak attack from outside the north city gate, and put the enemy's supplies and the commander's camp in a pot.
From the prisoners, Xu Sancai has confirmed that another war sect in the Dongshi Kingdom was in charge of the palace. The head commander only had the eldest prince of Dongshi and two war spirits, as well as the main generals of the Linyue Kingdom and the Dongti Kingdom. Although the enemy's highest strength is only war spirits, there are many enemy troops, and the main business and material areas are the targets of key protection. The danger can naturally be imagined. In the chaos, he was also worried that he could not protect the entire army.
However, Xu Ling'er insisted on going with Xu Sancai. Seeing the girl pouting and being angry, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to agree in the end, but asked Xu Ling'er not to leave him one foot. In this way, even if the enemy fired arrows at once, with his current physique, he could block the arrow rain for Xu Ling'er.
The preparation time of the day was fleeting. At 11 o'clock in the evening, Xu Sancai notified Dongshiguo to act as planned with the communication equipment of the Dongshi Zhanzong. The enemy's agreed attack time was 12 o'clock in the evening. The ambush troops had already been in place, and he led the elite army to gather at the Xicheng Gate.
At the time of twelve o'clock, the south city gate quietly opened. The enemy's large troops rushed into the city from the south city gate, while Xu Sancai led his troops to quietly set off from the north city gate at 11 o'clock and quietly touched the enemy's main camp. In order to confirm the enemy's formation, during the day, he specially asked two thieves Zhanzong to reconnaise the enemy camp from the air, and at this time he naturally went straight to the enemy's main camp.
The 80,000 cavalry troops of the Dongshi Alliance were rushing into the city. Although it was for siege, the combat effectiveness and mobility of the cavalry during the flat ground attack were far beyond that of infantry. The coalition was naturally equipped with a large number of cavalry. In this surprise attack, all the cavalry troops of the Dongshi Alliance were out and they were about to take down the border city in one fell swoop.
Seeing the city gate open, the Dongshi Alliance naturally no longer hesitated and immediately rushed into the city. In order to inspire the fighting spirit of the coalition forces, Dongshiguo issued a huge reward. The officers and soldiers of the coalition army were willing to hesitate and rushed in through the city gate. They only thought the city gate was too narrow, for fear of delaying the opportunity to make meritorious service.
However, the coalition forces rushed into the city and advanced along the main road for several miles. The cavalry running in front immediately fell into the trap. At the same time, a large number of archers appeared on the tall buildings on both sides of the main road, and archers also appeared on the southern city wall. For a moment, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and a large number of rockets were shot out. A sharp fire was lit on both sides of the main road, and a large number of rocks were also smashed down at the wall above the city gate.
At this time, nearly 90,000 cavalry of the enemy rushed into the city, and a large number of rocks quickly piled up nearly one meter high at the city gate, and immediately cut off the retreat of the cavalry entering the city. The enemy in the city had already understood that they were ambushed. The houses on both sides of the street had already lit a raging fire. The rolling smoke made the enemy unable to open their eyes at all, and the war horses were frightened when they saw the fire.
Of course, the biggest threat is the bows and arrows that are constantly shooting from both sides. All 20,000 archers in the city are lying here, so the density of bows and arrows can be imagined. The firelight on both sides of the main road completely exposed the figures of these coalition cavalry to the archers and became the best targets. The cavalry suddenly scattered in chaos and dodged in all directions.
The main road is nearly thirty meters wide, and firewood cannot be arranged in the middle of the road. Therefore, the firewood in the houses on both sides was wet. While burning, a large amount of thick smoke came out, which made the enemy troops unable to resist. They were all choked by the thick smoke and coughed violently, and their vision was greatly disturbed. Even the war horses were out of control, and their combat effectiveness was less than 20% of them.
The end of the main road and the branch roads next to it were actually dug. Although it only took one day, the agricultural reclamation troops were indeed good at digging. The traps were more than one meter deep and two meter wide, and even war horses could not leap through. What's more, there were archers who kept shooting arrows on the other side of the trap, and they could not jump calmly.
The enemy cavalry were completely trapped on the main road without any barriers. The houses on both sides of the road had already burned fire. The enemy soldiers were afraid that they would not dare to enter the house to avoid bows and arrows. Although the cavalry had heavy armor, they were just ordinary armor, and they could not protect them from a large number of bows and arrows. In a moment, tens of thousands of casualties occurred in the enemy soldiers.
In addition to some of the cavalry that had not yet entered the city, there were 50,000 infantry responsible for subsequent takeover and sweeps. Seeing this situation, he naturally knew that the troops entering the city were lying in. The general who led the army immediately sent an emergency signal and commanded the troops to rush towards the city gate to respond to the cavalry retreat. However, a legion had long been ambushed on the city wall, and a large number of rocks kept falling, and the infantry could not get close to the city gate at all.
While the sneak attack coalition issued an emergency signal, the enemy's camp was also suddenly attacked. The elite army led by Xu Sancai touched the enemy's camp and immediately launched a charge at full speed. In order to exhaust the defenders, the enemy carried out several waves of strong attacks during the day. Not only did they suffer the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers, but they also made the siege troops very tired. The elite troops who had maintained their physical strength were all transferred to the south of the city.
At this time, Xu Sancai's elite army launched a charge, and in a blink of an eye it penetrated straight into the enemy's camp. He and the four Zhanzong took the lead. Of course, he did not ride a horse, but rushed to the front, and Xu Ling'er also used his body skills to follow closely. The two of them were faster than the war horses, and they kept rushing in front of the team.
The enemy agreed to encounter a surprise attack and naturally became in chaos. In a blink of an eye, Xu Sancai rushed outside the enemy's main camp. The main camp was the tent of the eldest prince of the Dongshi Kingdom, and naturally had the most elite guards, guarded by two thousand imperial guards led by two war spirits. The imperial guards of the Dongshi Kingdom were all in the intermediate level and above level combat division level, and also belonged to elite troops in the Dongshi Kingdom.
Among the troops rushing into the city were eight generals of War Spirit. These generals were not only experienced, but also carried magic scrolls provided by the Oriental Family. Seeing that the troops were in desperate situation, they naturally could not sit and wait for death. They immediately took out the magic scrolls and launched attacks on the houses beside the main road, and opened the passage from the private house to escape the current dilemma.
