The Era of Generals

Chapter 471   The Controversy

Without a hammer, and only carrying bows, arrows, swords and other weapons, it was doomed that the vanguard sent by Ouyang Lixing could not have any thoughts about the city gate.

However, the impact hammer could not be delivered remotely through the siege catapult, so for a while, they could only forcibly use the ladder to fight against the defenders at the top of the city.

However, the result of the battle right now is that he almost needs four to five soldiers to kill one of the opponent's soldiers. This battle loss ratio is not terrible.

But Ouyang Lixing also knows that if he wants to forcibly take down Juhe City, this sacrifice is necessary. It doesn't matter if he is allowed to plan any more. Zheng Yuanyun is determined to stick to Juhe City, so he can only use human life to fill and consume .

This is also one of the reasons why Ouyang Lixing was very opposed to forcibly beating Juhecheng before.

After all, until now, Chen Ze was just talking about it, but he really needed to fight with the lives of soldiers.

Ouyang Lixing is not a cold-blooded person like Zheng Yuanyun who will do whatever it takes to win. He still attaches great importance to the lives of his soldiers.

If it is not necessary, what he hopes is to achieve victory through his own planning, rather than using human life to fill it.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the time constraints, and Ouyang Lixing still had the idea of ​​using Zheng Yuanyun to contain Chen Ze, if he wanted to win Juhe City without bloodshed, there was actually no way out.

For him, it seems that this kind of victory that is simply piled up with human lives has no pleasure at all for him, but a deep guilt.

But what can he do?

The so-called situation is stronger than people, no matter whether the information brought by Chen Ze is true or not, Ouyang Lixing can only deal with it with the worst plan.

And under the worst plan, Juhecheng became a hard bone stuck in his throat. No matter what, even if he broke the throat with all his might, he would have to swallow it forcibly.

"Is it ready over there?"

Sighing inwardly, Ouyang Lixing turned his head and asked the lieutenant general.

"Master Hui Zongbing, just received the news that the brothers have already deployed!"

The lieutenant general had just returned to Ouyang Lixing's side, but he saw that the commander-in-chief had deep eyes and was obviously thinking about something, so he didn't dare to disturb him for a while, but he immediately replied when he heard his question.

"Very good, now that guy has no time to take care of him, let's start it!"

Ouyang waved his hand vigorously, and the lieutenant immediately responded and stepped back to prepare.

Not long after, a phoenix-shaped flaming arrow exploded in the sky in the middle army formed by Ouyang Lixing.

The Qingyang Empire has a unique method of sending messages with loud arrows, while the Zhuyan Empire also has the phoenix symbol as a code. This flame bursts in the sky, and it can be clearly seen by almost everyone within a radius of one hundred miles.

"The commander-in-chief has an order, it's our turn!"

At the same time as the Phoenix Arrow was lifted into the sky, a troop that was hiding in the dark and had been looking up at the sky suddenly moved.

This army was originally a small team that Ouyang Lixing sent out to attack the city gates on the left and right sides, but when there was no hope, he was sent out again.

And this troop only has a total of 100,000 people, and the direction they are in charge of is the last gate of Juhe City. For Ouyang Lixing and the others, it is the rear gate!

If there is no terrain support, a general city will have four gates, and Juhe City, as a material transfer station, needs geographical conditions to extend in all directions. Therefore, this city is not like Tianyuan City, which only has three gates.

Among Zheng Yuanyun's troops, the trump card is the heavy cavalry unit with the same number of 100,000, but this unit cannot play a big role in defending the city.

Since it was impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to give up his superior unit, he chose to let the heavy cavalry abandon their horses and take off their armor to become ordinary defenders.

Therefore, Zheng Yuanyun arranged the heavy cavalry troops at the rear city gate, intending to use offense instead of defense. If an enemy attacked from the rear city gate, his instructions were to charge directly without hesitation.

In fact, this arrangement worked extremely well in the last siege battle. Although Ouyang Lixing had no fighting spirit and fought a guerrilla tactic of touching and leaving, it was still unavoidable that the heavy cavalry who was brought up to charge a round Charge and kill and lose soldiers and generals.

This was also the only city gate where Ouyang Lixing caused casualties.

But at this moment, Ouyang Lixing set his mind on this heavy cavalry again.

After receiving the instructions, the disjointed troops that had been charged and killed by the heavy cavalry gathered together again, and even rushed out of the hiding place by themselves, and even beat the drums like the other three city gates.

For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the troops of 100,000 people were taken out of the momentum of 500,000 people, and they rushed towards the rear city gate in such a mighty manner.

The leading general is called Chen Shen, and he has experienced hundreds of battles with Ouyang Lixing, big and small. Installed cavalry.

However, Zheng Yuanyun, who was severely understrength, could not take care of the four gates, so here, there was not even a trebuchet unit, so he could rush forward without fear of being attacked by catapult fire.

"Come on, brothers, it depends on the present whether you can make meritorious deeds!"

Chen Shen rushed to the top. He was standing high on the horse, pointing the spear in his hand at the rear city gate which was not closed. Array!

"These guys, forget the pain when the scar is healed?"

The commander of the heavy cavalry was named Xu Tianci, and he stared coldly at the enemy troops who rushed in suddenly, and all he said was contempt and disdain.

He also had a lot of combat experience, but after a quick glance, he found that although the opponent's side was also cavalry, they were not in the same order of magnitude as the heavy cavalry he led, they were just light cavalry.

Using light cavalry to attack the city means that there is no defensive equipment at the city gate after bullying, but is that enough?

Between them and the city gate, there is still a steel city wall composed of one hundred thousand brothers!

Although the light cavalry is more flexible in action, if it is said that they can fight against the heavy cavalry in a frontal charge, he would not believe that Xu Tianci was killed.

"What do you think?"

Xu Tianci sneered, pointed his spear sharply, and shouted: "Brothers, since they are rushing to die, let's fulfill them!"

Of course, this was just a way of boosting morale. Xu Tianci knew very well that if the heavy cavalry wanted to exert their superior combat power, they needed a certain distance to increase their speed.

The opponent pressed very quickly. If they squeezed the space to charge again, the opponent would be able to engage in hand-to-hand combat before the heavy cavalry started running.

Xu Tianci would never give up this advantage no matter what!
