"Wang Ping, blow up the giant tree that hits the door."
Wang Ping, who was shooting explosive arrows at the enemy formation near the Beicheng defense area, heard Cao Zhi's call and immediately rushed over. He bent his bow and aimed an arrow at the slowly moving giant tree. The arrow was waiting to be ignited and fired.
Suddenly, a ferocious child-like ghostly face appeared in front of Cao Zhi, covering Wang Ping's figure. The ghostly face was stained with blood, with a wide mouth open, and a bellows-like sound coming from his throat.
With a loud voice, he shook Yang Ling's shoulders desperately and laughed crazily: "Here he comes, haha, the second young master is here, hahahaha..."
Cao Zhi, who was looking at the battlefield and Wang Ping, was startled. Cao Zhi pushed the person in front of him away and took a closer look. It turned out to be Cao An.
"You're fucking crazy." Cao An, who was scolded by Cao Zhi, showed no hesitation and still danced and laughed wildly: "Coming, hahaha, Second Young Master, Young Master Xia is here with the cavalry, here he is!"
Cao Zhi was startled when he heard a dense creaking sound coming from under his feet.
"City gate!" Cao Zhi shouted out loud. That was the creaking sound of the city gate.
"Who, who let the city gate open..."
Before Cao Zhi finished speaking, a group of cavalry rushed out of the door. The first cavalry was Xia Houyuan, who was walking in the wind with a steel spear.
Cao Zhi quickly shouted to Wang Ping next to him: "Stop!" Cao Zhi's first reaction was accidental injury. No one can predict the power of explosives. He could accidentally injure one of his own people, so Cao Zhi shouted urgently.
Wang Ping stopped shooting.
But it was too late. Just as Cao Zhi spoke, Wang Ping aimed his arrow at the huge tree with full confidence, and then nodded to the farmer next to him to indicate that it was time to light the fire. When Cao Zhi reached out and swept away Cao Zhi in front of him and shouted
When it stopped, Wang Ping just let go of the arrow string.
After shooting the arrow, Wang Ping turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cao Zhi sprinted up the battlements. When Cao Zhi looked down the city, the arrow shot by Wang Ping exploded with a "coaxing" sound. The huge wood that hit the city gate did not explode, but it had already ignited a fire.
It was already flammable, but the crackling flames suddenly burst into flames, and the water thieves who pushed the wood fled in all directions.
Fortunately, Xia Houyuan had not reached the enemy's position yet, thus avoiding accidental injury to his own men. However, as soon as he left the city gate, both the cavalry and the enemy were stunned.
Taking this opportunity, Cao Zhi stood on the battlements and shouted: "Attack Zheng Bao's rear array directly!"
Xia Houyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Zhi who was speaking, and immediately understood. Everyone understands the principle of capturing the king first before capturing the thief.
Xia Houyuan immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Kill!" and waved his troops to kill the nearby enemy. Then every cavalryman who ran out waved their weapons and shouted "Kill" at the same time.
!quot;For a moment, the sound of killing was heard throughout the sky.
Xiahou Yuan led his cavalry to rush into the enemy's formation quickly. Wherever the strong horses passed, lives were harvested like straw. Xiahou Yuan's cavalry strangled them back and forth in an S shape into the enemy's formation. There were not many enemy cavalry wandering around the outside.
Now it was even more difficult to resist the sudden pursuit of the large group of cavalry, and they all fled.
When the garrison on the city saw the reinforcements arriving, they were already excited. But when they were inspired by the shouts of killing, their spirits were lifted. For a moment, they all looked excited and cheered. They quickly transformed this excitement.
In order to move, everything that could be smashed was thrown at the city. The city was still attacking the city, and there were countless casualties among the water thieves. It was difficult to organize an effective counterattack for a while.
When people are brave enough, they dare to do anything. Some archers in Lujiang thought that shooting behind the arrow stacks was not good enough, so they simply climbed up the battlements and stood on them to shoot arrows down the city.
The cavalry in the city were still rushing out of the city gate to attack Zheng Bao's water thieves. Although the formation was not deployed very quickly, these water thieves were completely unprepared. Some of them didn't even know what was happening. They only knew that their companions were
After fleeing backwards, when they found out, they were either shot by arrows from the city, or suddenly a horse passed by in front of them. The unlucky ones immediately lost their heads, and the luckier ones were all stained. Secondly, the previous ones
A wild sweep caused chaos to them, and the situation was greatly favorable to the cavalry.
The rumble of war drums and the noisy sound of fighting below the city shook the sky. The cavalry suddenly rushed out and caught the enemy by surprise. The subsequent troops rushed out of the city in a steady stream. The leader of the water thieves who was commanding from the front also said that he had fallen into the enemy's treacherous plan and immediately
After killing some people, I wanted to retreat a little to stabilize the position.
Cao Zhi ordered Xu Zhu to stop shooting arrows in the direction of the trebuchet. Xia Houyuan had already led his troops to chase the enemy. It would be easy to cause chaos and injure his own people. He looked at the panicked enemy troops under the city, and then turned to look at his own soldiers.
, all of them have high morale.
Cao Zhi became more courageous. Cao Zhi climbed up the battlements and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight out of the city..."
"kill......"
"Bang" another stone bullet thrown from the trebuchet hit a battlement.
In the smoke of gunpowder, no one cared about all this horror. At this moment, Cao Zhi jumped off the battlement, flew quickly against the saltpeter, and ran down the city first with his sword.
Xu Chu, Cao An, and Wang Ping followed closely behind. Amidst the shouts of killing, the slow-running water thieves below the city were immediately surrounded and killed by many people. Xiahou Yuan brought a total of three thousand cavalry, which was probably Lu Kang's entire property.
Coupled with the fact that Cao Zhi led his troops out of the city, Zheng Bao's water thieves, who had already suffered heavy losses, were unable to resist and began to retreat steadily.
In a hurry, the sweet dream is gone, and the love is so deep that there is no resentment... At this moment, Zheng Bao's heart is full of attachment to life and fear of the unknown. However, he only has these feelings in his heart, but he has no time to go away.
After thinking about it, my consciousness has come to a standstill and my mind is blank.
The enemy army was getting closer and closer, and he watched helplessly as his men and horses fled toward him. His cronies asked him to retreat several times, but he just didn't speak.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Zheng Bao said this helplessly. This is what his subordinates are most willing to hear now. Thieves will always be thieves. The biggest difference between them and warriors is that when they are not afraid of strong enemies and fight to the death, they are motivated by greed.
And warriors are for faith. Similarly, when the army is defeated like a mountain, thieves will always compete and trample on each other. It doesn't matter if they trample on others in order to survive. They don't care about showing their greed for life and fear of death. Heroes and warriors will make their companions
Retreat first, this is the difference, so thieves can never become heroes, and thieves can never be as fearless as warriors. Zheng Baoshui, who realized that something was wrong, retreated in a swarm. The ruthless bandit who was not afraid of life and death just now turned into a lost dog in an instant.
Zheng Bao's men could not even take care of the two trebuchets, and quickly got involved in the remaining soldiers and fled. The order was now nonsense.
Xia Houyuan led his troops to pursue them for a while, but when he saw that the enemy had retreated within three miles of the city, he retreated as soon as possible. He quickly recalled the cavalry that was advancing rapidly, withdrew his troops and turned back to join Cao Zhi.
