"Sir, the other party seems to have known that we will come to attack the city!"

On the border of the three-city coalition, in the Chinese army formation following the charge cavalry, the lieutenant general with a hesitant look on his face said hesitantly.

The gentleman he was talking about was a governor and the commander-in-chief of this 400,000-strong raiding force, named Bao Jianye.

Bao Jianye was not a local general in the four border cities. After the fall of Nantes Province, he was urgently transferred from Fengqi Province to support the border. As a result, he had the highest military rank in the four border cities, so he became

The commander-in-chief of the Qingyang Empire’s army this time.

Hearing the deputy general's hesitation, Bao Jianye curled his lips with disdain.

"Do you even need to say this?"

He did not give the lieutenant any face, and said coldly: "If the other party doesn't know that we are coming, why should they expel all the civilians in Xifeng City?"

"Then let's..."

The deputy general was still hesitant, but after looking at Bao Jianye's face, he wisely shut up.

Since they knew that the opponent was well prepared, they rushed forward so straightforwardly, and there was always some bad premonition lingering in the lieutenant's heart.

But what Bao Jianye said last night when he ordered the entire army to raid was not unreasonable. No matter what the other side said, they only had 100,000 troops, which was much less than our own.

And he is a native of the four border cities. He has a deep understanding of Xifeng City, and he also knows that there is really no need to pay too much attention to Xifeng City's poor defense capabilities.

Even if it is just cavalry to attack the city, this strength is enough.

However, the cavalry was already at a disadvantage when attacking the city, and they did not pay attention to the preparations that the other party had already made for their arrival. They rushed straight towards Xifeng City, which was equivalent to reducing the advantage that their own side had originally had.

Give it up to the other party a little bit.

The lieutenant general felt unwilling to do so.

He knew very well that even if they could successfully take back Xifeng City this time, Bao Jianye would definitely not have half of the credit for it. It was because they had more soldiers and generals, and even because of Bao Jianye's stupid move, they would still be able to take back Xifeng City.

A lot of troops were lost that should not have been lost.

In fact, the troops that Bao Jianye brought to the four border cities were 100,000. Now among the 400,000, the remaining 300,000 are composed of their local soldiers, and it is also the 30 who are charging ahead.

Thousands of people.

In other words, if there is any loss, it will be the loss of the four border cities. As for Bao Jianye's own 100,000 elite soldiers, it is obvious that they want to carry out the final clean-up work.

They provide the people and let Bao Jianye take the credit. This guy is really good at calculating!

But what can he do if he knows this?

Bao Jianye's military rank is higher than theirs, and it is the rule of the empire for him to lead the army. It would be strange for Bao Jianye not to take this opportunity to benefit greatly for himself.

But what made the lieutenant unhappy was that Bao Jianye wanted to reap benefits, but he had to treat the people in the four border cities as human beings.

He just let the local soldiers charge at the front. These people are all soldiers. They were prepared and had the consciousness to sacrifice their lives for the country as early as the moment they joined the army.

But this bastard, it’s just that he doesn’t treat soldiers as human beings, even those civilians...

Yesterday they discovered that a large number of civilians were pouring out of Xifeng City. Bao Jianye's original orders at that time were ignored. He even ordered that if any civilians dared to enter their formation, they would be killed on the spot!

As soon as this order came out, no civilians were killed on the spot. It first shocked everyone who heard Bao Jianye's words.

It even almost triggered a mutiny on the spot!

Later, the deputy general tried his best to stop Bao Jianye, and showed his affection to Bao Jianye and acted rationally. Only then did he finally give up the plan and leave the matter of dealing with civilians to himself.

Fortunately, he had properly resettled the civilians. Otherwise, if there was a mutiny, they would not have to fight in Xifeng City. Whether they could clean up the mess is a matter of two minds.

How could Bao Jianye still command a large number of cavalry charges with high spirits?

As a result, this guy didn't know how to express gratitude, and even treated himself with utmost contempt. How could anyone not be angry about this?

The lieutenant even had a vicious hope in his heart. He really hoped that the Qingyang soldiers in Xifeng City would give Bao Jianye a head-on blow. Then he would like to take a good look at the stinky fart on Bao Jianye's face.

How long can the look last?

But in that case...the ones who suffered the loss were still their own soldiers in the four border cities, which made the deputy general confused for a while.

So in this entanglement, the cavalry rushed toward Xifeng City like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and they were less than one mile away from Xifeng City!

The deputy general retracted his thoughts and stared closely at the stormtroopers with Bao Jianye from a distance. No matter what thoughts were running through their minds, they knew very well that the battle was about to begin!

"Come on, brothers, rush with me!"

The commander of the charge cavalry troops was a school lieutenant. Although he was also dissatisfied with the charge order issued by Bao Jianye, since he had received the military order, he would go all out!

Xifeng City is right in front of him, and victory is right in front of him. The captain can even see in his eyes the gate of Xifeng City that was broken and had no time to repair, and was covered with cracks.

With such a gate, they only need to rush to the city gate, and even if they hit it with a horse's head, it will be smashed to pieces. How can it have any defense at all?

All they have to do now is rush to the city gate!

The captain had already seen that the defenders at the head of Xifeng City were on alert. Some were holding bows and arrows, some were carrying rolling stones and knocking logs, and some were even pouring hot oil on the city wall. Everything looked like

Just like all sieges.

But so what?

Not to mention that they haven't entered the shooting range of bows and arrows yet, even if they have entered, they will not be afraid at all with the equipment they are armed to the hooves of horses and the hard armor covering their bodies.

They are heavy cavalry!

The captain was extremely confident in the defensive capabilities of his troops. Unless it was an attack from a trebuchet, it would only be able to cause damage to them by relying on the extremely strong impact.

But at this time, they are so far apart that even the trebuchet can't reach them, right?

While maintaining the charging posture, the captain also mentally estimated the distance between the two sides, trying to make judgments based on his own experience. When his side stepped into the attack range of the opponent's trebuchet, he would order everyone to disperse to reduce the trebuchet's impact.

the losses caused.

Can……

Just when the captain was sure that his side was still at a safe distance, a large number of burning meteors suddenly rose from the side of Xifeng City!

No, not a shooting star!

It's stoning!

It was a sling that was ignited by hot oil!

how come?

The captain was startled, but he calmed down in an instant.

Drop rocks at this distance?
Chapter completed!
