At the end of the letter's laughter, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and smoke suddenly billowed from the north of Mifeng City. In the smoke, a banner fluttered in the wind, and on the banner was an eagle with spread wings, smiling proudly in the sky.
Xiao Shicheng closed his eyes in pain. If there was only one Qinglong Legion in Xingeng, then Yelv Bianhuang had an army of 100,000 in his hands. Plus he went out of the city to provide support, at least he could bring back some of the soldiers. But now the Falcon Legion in Hetao actually
They also appeared here, and it was an irreversible fact that the entire army in Yelu Bianhuang was annihilated.
Xin Ke laughed loudly and ordered: "Qi Wen, lead your troops and wait below the city tower. If General Xiao wants to go out and give advice, you have to fight with General Xiao."
Qi Wen, who was as tall and burly as an iron tower, rushed forward and said gloomily: "Commander, Xiao Shicheng is a tortoise. Even if we don't release a single soldier, he won't dare to leave the city. Why make such a fuss."
Qi Wen's voice was already quite rough, and this was done deliberately. Xiao Shicheng's face on the tower was livid, he just weighed his weight and said nothing in the end.
Xin Ke didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "You can't say that. Seeing that General Xiao Shicheng has helped us so much, we have to give him some face no matter what."
Turning his head, Xinke suddenly shouted loudly: "Second brother, are you going to bury Yelv Bianhuang now?"
"It's almost time. Send them on their way as soon as possible. Maybe we can get a share of the pie if we rush back." Feng Jing's clear and clear voice came from far away. Although it was not as powerful as Xin Ke's voice, the words were clear and obvious.
Fengjing's skill has reached the level of the top ten masters in China.
Yelv Bianhuang was furious. In the eyes of the two of them, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. It was just that his situation was really bad now. This time it was not like before. Even if he ran away, he might not be able to survive.
There is no way out.
"Kill!" Xin Ke shouted, the flag waved, the man was like a killing god, and the horse was like a swimming dragon, they rushed out first.
"General, what should we do now?" Shanbu, the general, asked anxiously with his side beside him.
Xiao Shicheng forced an expression on his face and said painfully: "What else can we do now? Do you think we are still capable of rescuing them?"
Shanbula lowered his head. There were only about 40,000 soldiers and only 5,000 cavalry in the city. To attack now was to seek death.
Xiao Shicheng turned around in pain. Hetao chose to annihilate the 100,000 soldiers in Yelubianhuang under the Mifeng City. This was purely to establish prestige, and to establish the myth of Hetao's invincibility in the hearts of the Mandan soldiers, so as to facilitate future sieges of Hetao.
Moreover, if you do nothing to save yourself, your prestige in the army will be reduced to the greatest extent.
The Loop is really too insidious.
After all, Yelu Minghuang is not the material to lead troops in war. If it is playing cold knives behind the scenes or engaging in intrigues, Yelu Minghuang is a good player. But on the battlefield, strength will speak for itself after all. Don't talk about him, he is a warrior on the battlefield.
General Yelu Minghui led 50,000 cavalry to attack the well-prepared defense line in Hetao, but they could not hold out for long.
Fifty thousand cavalry, led by Yelu Minghuang and Yelu Chude, suddenly rushed out from the east and west gates of Blackstone City, aiming directly at the Haotian vehicle under the scarlet iron-blooded mountain and river banner. Mandan has always been known for its elite soldiers, so he stayed behind.
Those from Black Rock City are naturally the best among the best. And now they hold the belief that they will die, and their fighting power is even more powerful.
However, what they ran into was Haotian's Tiger and Ben Legion. From the first day of its establishment, the Tiger and Ben Legion was based on veterans of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Hetao. It can be said that the combat quality and combat experience of the entire legion were better than those in the Hetao.
is ranked first.
Facing Mandan's surging cavalry, Xuanji was unhurried and calmly commanded his generals to arrange their troops. After seeing too many strong winds and waves, Xuanji had enough reasons not to take the opponent seriously.
Of course, if the troops were led by famous generals such as Cassimbas or even the next-level Yaojinxi Hekimur, Xuanji would not dare to be so careless.
The current Hetao army is different from what it was when it first emerged. At that time, when facing such a big battle, the Hetao army would first hold on to the defense line to ensure that its defense line was not lost, and then look for opportunities to counterattack as much as possible.
But now the Hetao army is full of domineering power when marching and fighting. Unless it is a strategic defense, Hetao must take the initiative to attack. The generals of Hetao believe that their soldiers are good enough and they can dominate the world. Hetao
The soldiers also believed that their weapons were sharp enough to level the rivers and mountains.
The Mandan soldiers were indeed the leading elites on the Eastern Continent. But even such elite soldiers had a difficult time facing the violent counterattack from Hetao.
"Yelu Minghuang is indeed a fool. Not only did his command be chaotic, but he also forgot what his original intention was as soon as the war started!" Luo Xiang said disdainfully in the stands of the Qingyun.
Xuanji held Hao'an in one hand and shook his feather fan in the other, and said with a smile: "Yelu Minghuang has always been known for his talent and ambition in Mandan. If it is a conspiracy, he still has some ability. But this kind of battlefield duel is the most test of the general's quality.
He is simply unqualified for his courage and courage."
The mission of Yelu Minghuang and Yelu Chude was to lead the cavalry to attack the Haotian Army and create as much chaos as possible among the Hetao army to cover the breakout of the 50,000 armored heavy cavalry of Yelu Canghai and others. However, Hetao had already
Be prepared, as soon as their 50,000 cavalry came out, the Hetao army took the initiative to greet them. Under such circumstances, it was obvious that this idea had been aborted.
If he were a smarter general, what he should do now is to withdraw his troops immediately, join forces with the 50,000 armored heavy cavalry of Yelu Canghai and others, and use his troops to hold off Dugu Yuming's 30,000 heavy infantry and Hetao's pursuers.
soldiers, creating conditions for other armies to escape. But Yelu Minghuang did not do this. Perhaps the Mandan prince, who was rarely so brave once in his life, finally took the risk, so he hoped to use this probably the last battle in his life to
Prove that you are not a coward.
The Huben Corps was originally the regiment with the highest tacit cooperation in the Hetao battle, and it was led by Haotian himself, so it was naturally no small matter. Coupled with the surrounding Fengwu Corps, the Mandan's 50,000 cavalry soon became arrogant after the initial arrogance.
Falling at a disadvantage, under the command of Xuanji Lingqi, 50,000 cavalry were divided and surrounded by Hetao. It was only a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated.
At the same time, the siege of Black Rock City under the command of Xue Sha personally was also carried out vigorously. Because it was a street battle, a large number of infantrymen were concentrated in Hetao. Now under Xue Sha's command, in addition to the 70,000 infantrymen of the White Tiger Army, his own army had seven
The army has 50,000 infantry and cavalry, as well as Jiang Chenzhou's Legion of Honor and Li Xiao's Red Snake Legion, with a total strength of more than 200,000.
The main garrison commander in Blackstone City is naturally Yelu Minghui, who voluntarily stayed behind. Blackstone City is the capital of the Mandan Kingdom after all, and there are many meritorious nobles in the city. Although Yelu Vicissitudes and Yelu Minghuang took away almost all the cavalry in the city, plus the nobles'
Private soldiers, the total number of troops in the city is still as high as 150,000. However, the east wall of Black Rock City has fallen. Otherwise, relying on the complete city defense facilities, it would not be easy for Hetao to capture Black Rock City.
"Strike steadily, advance in parallel with each department, and avoid taking risks to prevent being killed by the opponent." Xue Sha commanded in a deep voice.
Blood Killing has quite a lot of experience in street fighting, but the quality of the Mandan soldiers is indeed very good, and the people in the city also know what the consequences will be after the city is broken, so they are all high-spirited and prepared to fight to the death with the Hetao, so the Hetao's
The attack went poorly.
March Commander Shi Youjisun said worriedly: "Commander, if we go according to the current progress, it will take at least three days for us to capture all of Black Rock City."
Xue Sha chuckled: "Three days? I think three days is an exaggeration. If we can capture Black Rock City within five days, we will be lucky. Black Rock City is the capital of the Mandan Kingdom, and the Mandan folk customs are fierce.
, and after all, it was the country with the strongest comprehensive strength among the three Northeastern countries before, and there were not a few strategic materials stored in the city. With 150,000 soldiers and a population of nearly one million, it would not be easy to kill them all.
thing."
"Five days?" You Jisun said in disbelief.
Xue Sha nodded: "If we don't count the casualties, we can definitely capture Black Rock City in three days. However, as a general, you not only have to consider how to win, but you also need to reduce the casualties of your soldiers as much as possible.
Every soldier is raised by his own parents. Even if he dies on the battlefield, we must make his death worthwhile."
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Commander, my lord has wiped out all 50,000 cavalrymen of Yelu Minghuang. I asked the commander if reinforcements are needed here."
"All annihilated?" Xue Sha was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little emotional. Although the 50,000 cavalry led by Yelu Minghuang were not the absolute elite of Mandan, their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. Haotian only had 150,000 in his hands.
The troops, including 50,000 female soldiers of the Fengwu Legion, were able to annihilate them all in such a short period of time. In addition to the fact that the Hetao army was indeed powerful in combat, the pustule Yelu Minghuang probably also helped a lot.
.
If these 50,000 cavalry were personally commanded by generals like Yelu Minghui or Xiao Shicheng, then although it would be difficult to escape destruction, at least it would not be destroyed so quickly, and it would definitely cause certain losses to the Hetao.
"If possible, my lord can transfer the infantry from the Huben Legion. As for the cavalry, there is no need for it. I still have nearly 30,000 cavalry under my command, which can fully shoulder the corresponding tasks." Xue Sha said in a deep voice.
Xiao Shicheng also felt the same way now. If the general leading the army was himself, how could the situation be reduced to this?
Facing the joint massacre of nearly 200,000 cavalrymen by Fengjing and Xinke, the only thing Yelu Bianhuang could do was to shrink the defense line and defend passively.
Xiao Shicheng scolded his mother when he saw it on the tower. Yelu Bianhuang was indeed an idiot. Under such circumstances, facing the opponent's overwhelmingly superior force, he only knew how to defend passively, which was completely asking for death. The only advantage of doing so
Even if it can delay the annihilation of the entire army for a while, it will not change the situation on the battlefield at all. Moreover, due to the passive defense on our side, the opponent does not have to worry about counterattack at all, and will be even more careless when fighting.
.
"General, do we need to send troops to respond?" Shanbula asked from the side.
"Response? Do you see that idiot showing signs of breaking out towards the north gate? If we send troops to respond now, we will definitely be swallowed whole by the opponent." Xiao Shicheng shouted angrily.
In Xiao Shicheng's view, under such circumstances, what Yelu Bianhuang should do is to use a small number of infantry to cut off the rear, desperately block the pursuit of the Fengjing Falcon Legion, and command the main force of his own to forcefully attack Xingeng's defense line and prepare to move towards the north of Mifeng City.
The door is close. Once it is opened like this, the people in the city can launch a counterattack. Even if they cannot severely defeat the opponent, they can at least bring back some of the troops. The defense facilities of Mifeng City are relatively sound. If the Hetao cavalry wants to get close to the foot of the city wall, they will not be able to do so.
It is impossible to pay a small price.
General Yelu Kefeng opened his mouth and asked: "General, are we just going to watch the 100,000 soldiers being wiped out like this?"
He was the only one among the Mandan royal generals who supported Xiao Shicheng. Therefore, he was regarded as timid and fearful of death by Yelu Bianhuang and others. He was fortunate enough to stay in the city. Although he had different opinions with Yelv Bianhuang and others, under such circumstances
Next, he still hopes that he can do his part for the 100,000 soldiers under the city.
Xiao Shicheng smiled bitterly: "Do we have a better choice?"
Yelu Kefeng shook his head and suddenly said tentatively: "General, how about you use the command flag on the tower to command the soldiers below?"
Xiao Shicheng shook his head and said: "It's impossible. The Hetao side doesn't know our flags. If the other party sees our every move, Yelu Bianhuang will be even more dangerous. Now we can only hope that they can support it for a while."
In fact, Xiao Shicheng no longer has any hope for Yelv Bianhuang and his 100,000 soldiers. Although these 100,000 soldiers are not Mandan's elite troops, their combat effectiveness is also very good. As long as they are commanded well, even if they face Feng Feng.
Jing He Xin's siege of 200,000 cavalry can at least hold on for a while and cause heavy damage to the opponent.
But in the face of such a situation, the idiot Yelu Bianhuang only knew how to defend and did not know how to use the cavalry in his hands to take the initiative, giving up all the initiative on the battlefield to Hetao. He did not even think about it, Mandan was now besieged on all sides, and there was no way
There will be no reinforcements, so what's the use of such a passive defense? It's better to take the initiative and kill them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shicheng couldn't help but think of the battle situation in Black Rock City. It seems that it is a fact that Black Rock City was fiercely besieged. However, the fact that the two main cavalry forces in Hetao appeared here shows that although the battle situation in Black Rock City is fierce, the overall situation has been decided.
The victory is irreversible. However, is this really the case?
Yelu's vicissitudes of life personally went into battle, which immediately raised the already low morale of the Mandan cavalry to the extreme. Although he had lived as a king for more than thirty years, when Yelu's vicissitudes of life once again galloped on the battlefield with his horse and sword, the man who once roamed outside the Great Wall
The general seemed to be alive again. Under his personal command, the Mandan heavy cavalry with nearly 40,000 troops once again fully demonstrated their indestructible offensive power in attacking the city.
In order to leave a bloodline and a little hope for Mandan, Yelu completely risked his life this time. Although he spent these years in debauchery, he did not understand the situation in the country. Central and southern Mandan
The area has been completely reduced to ruins. In addition to the 150,000 soldiers of Xiao Shicheng and more than 100,000 civilians in Mifeng City, other rural areas and even some larger cities have been completely destroyed by the Hetao.
The people were massacred crazily. The Bone City of Gulan devoured the bones of at least two million Mandan people.
As for the northern part of the Mandan, the Hetao cavalry attacks from time to time, forcing the people in the countryside to flee into the city. Although there is no danger yet, once Blackstone City is broken, the Hetao will definitely send troops to sweep it away, and Yelu Mingzhuang only has 20,000 to 30,000 men.
The soldiers had to guard against the Abbat people in the north and fight the Hetao in the south. They were basically powerless. Therefore, this battle was also related to the survival of Mandan.
If I can cover Yelv Canghai and have a chance to break through, then I can make an alliance with Beijing and rely on Kasimbas, a famous general outside the fortress, to hold back the main army in Hetao so that it cannot fully conquer Mifeng City in the south and Yelu Mingzhuang in the north.
So it is not that Mandan has no chance of restoration. But if Yelu Canghai is lost here, then the Mandan royal family will no longer have anyone to support the overall situation.
Yelu's vicissitudes of attack at all costs caused a sudden increase in pressure on Hetao, and loopholes finally appeared in the originally indestructible defense line. First, Zhou Jilong's defense line was broken through by Mandan's armored cavalry, then Xiong Chuzhao, Ning Bai, and even
Dugu's side was in a huge crisis because of the Mandan's crazy attack. Although the loopholes in the Hetao were quickly closed, this at least showed that the defense line in the Hetao was no longer airtight, at least it was visible to the Mandan cavalry.
hope.
"My lord, the situation there is quite critical. There are only about 25,000 infantrymen left under Du Shuai's command, while the opponent still has nearly 40,000 troops. If rescue is not done immediately, Du Shuai may be in danger of annihilating his entire army.
"Having packed up Yelu Minghuang's 50,000 cavalry, Haotian simply led the Tiger Army and Fengwu Army to the east gate to watch the battle. Seeing such a situation, Fu Ruoshui couldn't help but said anxiously.
Haotian glanced at Fu Ruoshui. The little girl's body was covered with blood. In the battle just now, Fu Ruoshui took the lead and killed the Mandan general Yelu Chude with one sword. The main general Yelu Minghuang died in Xianlian.
Under Chen's crescent moon attack, Fu Ruoshui's confidence was obviously greatly boosted by the victory just now, so he was eager to continue to make contributions on the battlefield.
Zong Buhua also quickly echoed: "My lord, what the eldest princess said is absolutely true. Mandan's armored heavy cavalry are very prestigious on the Eastern Continent, but if our two legions outflank them together, the other side will definitely lose."
Haotian looked at Luo Xiang sitting next to him and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"
