Cheng Wuting couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He was also a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He knew that Wang Fangyi was not an easy person. Although his martial arts was not very good, his strict military management and military skills were not inferior to his own. He even
Worse than that.
What is even more worrying is that now we are meeting when one's own morale has been depleted and the other's morale is rising. In this case, even if it is one-on-one, one's own side will definitely be defeated, let alone Cheng Wu Tingcong.
You can hear the sound of horse hooves, the opponent has at least 10,000 troops!
How can we fight an army of 10,000 people?
Cheng Wuting's eyebrows instantly knitted together, because the current situation was so serious that he had no way to deal with it. Under such circumstances, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking to continue attacking the palace gate. Even if he could break out of the encirclement, it would be impossible.
Something very difficult to achieve.
It was only then that Cheng Wuting finally realized that he had completely fallen into the enemy's trap today, and that the enemy was determined to annihilate all his troops in one fell swoop.
"Now even if we want to attack the palace, it is simply unrealistic. Fortunately, we have not yet invaded the palace. Everything can still be justified. What's more, as long as I can break through the siege, I don't have to admit that I was involved in this.
Even if the man on top of the city says my name, what can he do to me if I don't admit it? At least this way, Zilong (Pei Yan's name) won't be implicated."
Cheng Wuting made up his mind, a look of resoluteness appeared on his face, and he shouted sternly: "Soldiers, come with me to break out of the siege."
Cheng Wuting has been fighting all the year round, and has countermeasures for various emergencies that arise in the war. At least there are special signals for situations like today when it is dark night and he has to return to break out. I only heard the soldiers remember
The sound of the horn, two consecutive sounds of the horn, made all the soldiers turn their horses and kill them all towards the south.
The soldiers under Cheng Wuting's command were all light cavalry, so they marched very fast, at least much faster than Wang Fangyi's cavalry team. They quickly reached a distance of only 200 steps from the Tang army.
But at this moment, I heard a strange sound breaking through the air, and then I saw glowing bows and arrows flying over. Not only did these arrows have a long range and strong lethality, but they could also ignite fire.
If it hits the cavalry, you won't feel anything special, but whenever the strange bow and arrow lands on the horse and ignites the horse's mane, the situation becomes obviously different.
The war horse, which was in pain because its mane was burned, no longer cared about the safety of its owner, but ran around desperately, which caused the formation of Cheng Wuting's soldiers to begin to be destroyed.
In fact, Cheng Wuting and his soldiers had no idea that the disaster had just begun for them.
The soldiers of the Tang Army first fired the flaming bows and arrows. When they got close, Cheng Wuting's subordinates, whose formations were not neat enough, threw ordinary bows and arrows. When they were about eighty paces away, they threw their spears. Finally, they reached about fifty paces and waited.
Theirs was an even greater disaster.
I heard bursts of thunderous sounds. For some reason, the soldiers in front suddenly fell off their horses, and a large amount of blood suddenly gurgled from their chests, heads, or other parts.
, and many died immediately on the spot.
"Here, what kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful that it can kill with one blow. It's simply more powerful than a large bed crossbow. But looking at the things they hold in their hands, it doesn't weigh much at all. It can so easily cause more damage than a bed crossbow.
To have strong lethality, this, this is simply unbelievable!"
Cheng Wuting could only see bursts of firelight, and with the help of the firelight, he could faintly see that what the other soldier was holding was an iron pipe about a foot long, and something flew out of the iron pipe, and then
That thing got into the flesh and caused serious damage to the human body.
What worries Cheng Wuting the most is that the loud noise made by the object in the hands of the other party's soldiers caused great disturbance to his own war horses. These horses all ran around like crazy, making their own formation even more chaotic.
Those war horses even knocked many soldiers to the ground, and then those soldiers who were knocked to the ground were soon trampled into pulp by the hooves of the horses running around...
However, the opponent's war horse seemed to be unheard of, which seemed incredible.
"Could it be that the opponent's war horses have undergone long-term training? Or is there other preparations?" Cheng Wuting murmured.
In fact, Cheng Wu's guess was correct. Those war horses had indeed gone through long-term training. Even so, they were still a little afraid of the huge roar, so Wang Fangyi ordered people to put cloth strips in the ears of the war horses to reduce the noise.
Interference only allowed our own cavalry to remain motionless as a mountain amidst the huge roar.
"Alas, this battle is really impossible to fight." Even though Cheng Wuting was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, under the threat of such an unknown and powerful weapon, there was a trace of panic in his heart. Even he was like this, let alone his subordinates.
The soldiers under his command have already been defeated, so it is simply a dream to organize forces to break out.
"I, I surrender, and I also ask General Wang to let go of the soldiers under my command. All the blame will be borne by me. They are innocent." At this time, Cheng Wuting knew that if he did not surrender, the soldiers under his command would be killed.
The soldiers would probably be killed by those terrifying firearms. Anyway, they would die no matter what, so why bother the innocent people? This would at least allow the lives of the soldiers who worked hard for them.
"This can be regarded as a small reward from me, Cheng Wuting, for their sacrifice for me when I was dying. Although this reward is far from enough to repay my guilt for them, it is already the limit of my efforts." Cheng Wuting looked at it.
The soldiers who were struggling in the face of death sighed softly.
Not long after Cheng Wuting raised the white flag, the huge roar finally stopped, and then a group of people came forward and tied up Cheng Wuting who had his hands raised.
"General Cheng, what do you have to say now?" Wang Fangyi looked at the famous Cheng Wuting as a prisoner, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, and said slowly to Wang Fangyi.
But Cheng Wuting sighed: "I know I will die, and I just ask General Wang to let go of these soldiers under my command. They know nothing about today's events. All the blame lies with me. Also, there is something I don't know, so what else can I do?"
I hope General Wang can enlighten me on what kind of weapons your soldiers are using? They have such a powerful effect!" (To be continued.)
