Behind the military formation, Zhou Qing cursed loudly.
It's not that they were defeated, but the fight was extremely difficult at the moment. Half an hour passed and they still couldn't take down the city wall.
During the entire battle, the Forbidden Army often occupied a section of the city wall and would be killed soon after, giving them no chance to expand their results.
At this time, Cai Yongkun reminded from the side: "Old Zhou, if we can't win this battle, we should withdraw!"
Although both of their armies were infantry, they also had a small number of scouts to inquire about the situation, and Pang Guoxing was also conveying news to them.
So they knew that two supporting troops of the Yong Army were on the way and would arrive tomorrow at the latest.
Although there are only a few infantry and a few hundred cavalry, the Forbidden Army has suffered a huge defeat at the moment. If they cannot capture Yanfeng County, they will have no choice but to retreat.
"Withdraw? Where?" Zhou Qing asked.
"There are only more than a thousand reinforcements. Although our army has lost the battle, it is not something they can handle!"
"Our army was poorly prepared to attack the city, so we had no choice but to go all out and attack by force. That's why we didn't take the city... Although the Yong army inside the city is brave, if they fight head-on outside the city, they will definitely not be the enemy of our army together!"
Zhou Qing said a lot, but Cai Yongkun only asked: "So, you don't plan to withdraw your troops?"
Zhou Qing turned around and said angrily: "If you want to withdraw, you need to withdraw... We have killed so many people, we must take revenge!"
Seeing Zhou Qing leave, Cai Yongkun looked extremely ugly.
Although he is more pessimistic, he is currently calmer than Zhou Qing, who is obviously jealous.
Cai Yongkun can also understand this.
Zhou Qing was full of confidence and fought to Longyou, but he couldn't even remove a small county town. This made him feel extremely frustrated. Most importantly, the Forbidden Army suffered heavy losses.
"Revenge... I'm afraid it will cost more lives!" Cai Yongkun sighed.
Although Zhou Qing said he could withdraw on his own, Cai Yongkun couldn't do this.
The second round of attacks died down after an hour.
After a brutal fight, the Forbidden Army lost hundreds more lives, but they were finally defeated.
Of course, the people on the city walls also felt uncomfortable, and the defending soldiers and civilians also suffered great losses.
"We won!"
"We won..."
After a hard-fought victory, everyone on the city wall couldn't help but cheer, and this was indeed worthy of their cheers.
All units of the Forbidden Army returned to their positions, and the morale of the whole army was low.
The rapid development, then failure, and the third failure... this is their true portrayal at the moment.
The soldiers were dejected and the officers were completely demoralized. At least today they were unable to organize a third attack.
After counting the number of people, there are still more than 3,600 people in the Forbidden Army. They have lost 1,400 lives in this small county.
Zhou Qing was getting angry, and several people who led thousands of households were scolded bloody.
There were thousands of households who couldn't help but defend themselves: "Sir, the preparations were really hasty...it's not easy to attack the city!"
Zhou Qing sneered and said: "It's hard to attack the city, so... rest tonight and confront their reinforcements tomorrow. What else can you say when I see it!"
The thousands of families stopped talking, and they were also simmering with anger.
They were the ones fighting hard at the front, but they didn't know that they would still suffer from this misfortune when they came back.
However, Zhou Qing usually accumulated so much authority that no one present dared to refute, and his only defense seemed feeble.
According to Zhou Qing's instructions, the Imperial Guards soldiers began to repair.
It was not practical to build a temporary camp, so they pushed it two miles away, where there was an empty village.
Relying on Zhuangzi, they can guard against stray zombies and build complete defenses.
The sun was setting in the west, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who had been fighting for a whole day finally had a moment of peace.
While the two guards were enjoying their comfort, Long Teng Youwei, who was in charge of their logistics, encountered Cui Xingan at this moment.
Although Pang Guoxing wanted to avoid the fight, Cui Xing'an came forward on his own initiative, forcing him to accept the fight.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to retreat to the north, which would cut off Zhou Qing and Cai Yongkun's retreat, so this battle is unlikely to be serious.
At this moment, Pang Guoxing had gathered 1,500 cavalry, and his strength was more than twice that of Cui Xing'an.
Although he was forced to fight, Pang Guoxing did not panic at all with such a superior force.
Looking at the Yong Army who had already formed up two miles away, a Qianhu said: "Sir, these Yong Army people... are really arrogant!"
Pang Guoxing said solemnly: "So today... we have to let them remember it for a long time!"
At this moment, a horse came galloping from the opposite side, and the Imperial Guards were about to shoot him, but were stopped by Pang Guoxing.
The visitor stopped fifty steps away and shouted loudly: "We Qianhu said that as long as you surrender, the palace will treat you well!"
"They are all the troops of the imperial court, why bother fighting each other?"
But I heard Pang Guoxing say loudly: "Go back and tell you Qianhu that if he surrenders now, I will treat him well!"
The other officers cursed: "Get out quickly..."
"If you dare to stay again, I will take your head!"
The attempt to persuade them to surrender failed, so the visitors had no choice but to return, and everyone in the imperial army burst out laughing.
"This person is really ridiculous, he actually asked us to surrender..."
"Crush them in a moment..."
"He's just a farmer who knows how to ride a horse, but he still dares to fight with us men..."
Listening to the sarcasm in his ears, Zhou Qing said with a serious expression: "Send the order, everyone discards the food and fights lightly!"
"yes!"
Since war is inevitable, he must work hard to defeat Yong's army with all his strength.
On the other side, Cui Xingan has ordered the army to start advancing.
These 600 cavalrymen have all been promoted to the first level. After rigorous training and many actual battles, they are undoubtedly the best in the army.
As time passed, the two armies got closer and closer, and the speed became faster and faster.
In the military formation, Cui Xing'an raised his sword high and shouted: "Brothers, the prince is waiting for news of our triumphant victory..."
"Can we...can we disappoint the prince?"
"No!" All the soldiers roared, their momentum like a rainbow piercing the sun.
The tip of the knife gradually pointed forward, and Cui Xingan shouted: "Well...defeat them!"
"kill……"
With the whip waving, Cui Xing'an's troops greatly accelerated their speed and galloped towards the opposite military formation.
"Brothers, let these country bumpkins see the power of our Imperial Army..."
"kill……"
As both sides increased their speed, the distance between the two armies quickly narrowed, and the distance of one mile was only a matter of breath.
The two armies quickly collided with each other, and for a while there were loud shouts of killing and the sound of gold and iron clashing.
The battlefield is bloody, and although the Forbidden Army is also elite, it is still inferior to Cui Xingan's troops.
Regardless of the armor, weapons and the quality of the soldiers, the Yong Army will be better than the Forbidden Army, not to mention the Yong Army's faith bonus.
Therefore, in the first reunion, the Forbidden Army side was broken through the formation, and the casualties were far greater than those of the Yong Army side.
At this time, Pang Guoxing finally realized how powerful the "country bumpkin" he called him was.
Rumor has it that the elites of the Yong Army were heading to the North, but they met the elites of the Yong Army again here, and those who stayed in Yanfeng County were considered elite...
So, how many elites did Yong's army have? Pang Guoxing was short of breath for a while.
But he still had to fight this battle because he had no way out.
