boom!

Boom boom boom!

The heavy cavalry, who had no time to retreat, were forced to usher in the second round of bombing, and thus also ushered in the second round of overturning.

Under the formation of Fengqi's army, Bao Jianye looked at him dumbfounded. Sure enough, as the lieutenant secretly hoped, the high-spirited look on his face had long since disappeared.

But this was not what the deputy general wanted.

Those suffering the baptism of artillery fire at the front are their own soldiers from the four border cities!

Watching his brothers and comrades turned into torn limbs under the crazy pelting of stones, watching them cry crazily in the purgatory of blood and fire, the deputy general's heart was dripping with blood.

"grown ups!"

He roared with red eyes and said to Bao Jianye: "Save... people!"

save?

How to save?

Bao Jianye was awakened from his roar, but when he turned his head, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot.

How can he save this?

Send sword and shield men to resist the stones?

Under the current situation, the charging posture of the heavy cavalry has undoubtedly been destroyed. At this moment, they are in an embarrassing situation where they can neither advance nor retreat.

It is impossible to rush forward. With the current distance, they can no longer increase their speed, and they are not in a formation. As long as the opponent sends a little force out of the city to attack, these cavalrymen who have been stunned will be

Deliver food.

What's more, during the charge, they have to withstand at least two more rounds of stone throwing and countless arrows. Even though there are still 20,000 people, how many more rounds can they withstand?

No matter how small the opponent's number is, there are still as many as one hundred thousand. If you want to deal with their incomplete cavalry charge, isn't it easy?

As for continuing to send troops to support...

Most of Bao Jianye's men were cavalry, and he could only send more cavalry to charge in relays.

But a cavalry charge requires flat terrain, and right now, where is the flat terrain?

Just in front, the heavily armored cavalry who were knocked upside down not only suffered a disaster themselves, but also blocked the charging path of the friendly troops in the rear.

In front of it is a large pit made by throwing stones, corpses of people and horses everywhere, and even blazing flames.

Even if people are not afraid, what about horses?

Are horses afraid?

All animals are born with a fear of flames. This is natural. Unless they undergo extremely strict training later, they may be able to overcome it.

Bao Jianye knew very well that his horses had not been trained to the point where they were not afraid of fire. Once he sent cavalry to rush in, the horses frightened by the flames would be frightened and lose control before they could rush out, and there would only be another wave.

Giving the opponent a living target for trebuchet bombardment is completely useless.

Therefore, if they want to be saved, they can only save themselves by the heavily armored cavalry. They can only escape from the bloody purgatory and retreat back to their own formation.

Other than that, Bao Jianye really had no choice.

As the governor, he is not without merit. At least he has experienced many battles, large and small, and he still has a good grasp of the situation.

When he saw this situation at this moment, besides standing still, he actually felt a little regretful in his heart.

If I had known this would be the case, I should not have listened to the lieutenant general yesterday and placed those civilians in the rear areas.

According to his wishes, these civilians should also be allowed to go into battle. Although it is not of great use, it is at least useful for cleaning up the battlefield and putting out fires.

Common people also have around 400,000 people!

With such a large number, it is not difficult to clear a gap for the cavalry to charge!

As a result, Bao Jianye's look at the idiot gradually turned into resentment, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "If you want to save me, go and save him!"

"you!"

When the lieutenant heard this, anger surged in his heart, and veins suddenly popped up on his forehead. He wanted to just draw his sword and strike Bao Jianye angrily.

But he could only think about it. If he dared to kill Bao Jianye with one sword at this time, it would definitely trigger an inevitable uproar and mutiny!

If there is a mutiny, who will benefit?

Of course they are those hateful Qingyang Empire people in Xifeng City!

No matter what, you can only hold back at this moment, otherwise you will do something stupid that will make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy.

"Then...what should I do, sir?"

The deputy general tried his best to adjust his breathing and asked Bao Jianye in a muffled voice.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs!"

Bao Jianye, however, was very indifferent and said in a tone of lecturing the lieutenant: "There is no way to win a war without being defeated. We suffered a loss this time. It doesn't matter. We will just find the situation again."

"If you are impulsive at this time, it will only make the situation worse and worse. Don't you understand this?"

What he said was very sincere, but it made the lieutenant-general feel chills in his heart.

Not far in front of them, the heavily armored cavalry were still struggling to survive in the blood and fire. He could even see the burning men who were all on fire running towards them. Unfortunately, there were still

Before they could run back to their main formation, they fell on the road.

In this miserable situation that people couldn't bear to take another look at, Bao Jianye was teaching him earnestly, and he... didn't even take a second look at the soldiers who died tragically because of his orders.

This man is so cold-blooded!

Just when the lieutenant general was feeling chilled, Bao Jianye had already turned around and went to issue new orders to his men.

His voice drifted from not far away, and the deputy general heard that Bao Jianye's next order was to have the troops stand by where they were, and even ordered people to set up tents first.

It seems that after the failure of the first round of cavalry charge, Bao Jianye's idea at this time was to fight steadily and no longer be in a hurry to make progress.

So, those brothers died in vain?

The lieutenant general looked forward sadly. Of the more than 50,000 heavy cavalry troops, less than 10,000 of them finally escaped from the enemy's artillery fire.

With just such an order to charge, more than 40,000 people were killed under the city, but Bao Jianye, as the coach, seemed to be fine.

Should I say that he is too cold-blooded, or that he has a very good psychological quality?

Regarding this, the lieutenant general who was not familiar with him didn't know much about it.

Also confused was Chen Ze, who was commanding the defense at the top of Xifeng City.

Why didn't the enemy come?

To the coalition forces in the three border cities, what was happening under Xifeng City was a horrific scene no less than apocalyptic. But to Chen Ze, who was standing on top of the city, this was just the prelude to a siege!

An army of 400,000 people came and took over, and then stopped?

Chen Ze has placed many informants within a two-mile radius outside Xifeng City, which means he has opened up the entire map for himself.

So he was very sure that the other party was not making any small moves in secret, but actually stopped when he said it would.

Using the lookout glass to look at the enemy, Chen Ze could even see that the enemy was setting up a camp in an orderly manner.

What kind of magical operation is this?
