Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh

It's a pity that this is just the deputy general's idea.

What's even more pity is that today's coalition commander is still Bao Jianye and not him.

Therefore, although he knew that Bao Jianye's strategy was wrong, the deputy general was still helpless, not to mention that the opponent's sword was placed on his neck.

"Next time you dare to disobey military orders, you know what will happen!"

Bao Jianye said coldly and sternly, without actually wiping the lieutenant's neck with his sword.

He is not stupid, and he knows that if he kills the deputy general in front of everyone at this time, it will definitely cause a mutiny in the army. After all, the majority of the coalition forces are soldiers from the four border cities.

"Reload quickly and adjust the angle!"

With a cold snort, he withdrew his sword and personally gave orders to the slinging troops.

At the same time, the soldiers from each camp who gathered in the rear camp also began to form a formation, with the sword and shield bearers in front, the pikemen in the middle, and the archers in the back in a standard advancement formation towards the front camp.

Along the way, he continued to gather his own soldiers, and by the time he returned to the central camp, he had already assembled a considerable force.

In this way, Bao Jianye finally felt at ease. While breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned his head and roared: "What are you doing standing still? Fire!"

The new round of catapults has been loaded. When Bao Jianye gave an order, the bowstrings vibrated together, and dozens of catapults roared violently again almost at the same time!

This time, the direction they aimed at was their front camp, which was surrounded by flames and could not see the situation clearly.

Chen Ze's brows furrowed deeply.

I thought I could win, but in the end I missed the mark.

What I missed was that the other party actually had such a large number of catapults.

You must know that when Bao Jianye led his army, it was a fast charge force mainly composed of heavy cavalry. Based on their marching speed, it can be expected that a large amount of the logistics supplies of the army must have been abandoned, especially when catapults were used.

It is even impossible for large and slow equipment to keep up with the speed of cavalry.

That's why Chen Zecai suddenly had the idea of ​​fighting there, so that the opponent suddenly responded with a catapult. After he was stunned for a moment, he didn't have time to stop Meng Yang, who was already furious and charging into the enemy's formation.

Fortunately, his daze lasted only for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he immediately ordered Meng Yang to withdraw from the enemy camp through the Jiangxing System.

At that moment, Chen Ze put himself into the perspective of the enemy coach. Based on his previous understanding of this person, he immediately knew where he would hit the next salvo.

The opponent's coach is a cold-blooded person who can watch his own heavy cavalry fall into artillery fire without doing anything.

Then you can guess where he will hit his next shot.

Your own front camp!

This was Chen Ze's instant judgment, and it was also the reason why he ordered Meng Yang to retreat quickly.

Meng Yang, no matter how angry he was, could not disobey Chen Ze's orders.

Not to mention that his own loyalty was almost close to the full value of 100, but Zhao Yun would not agree to it if he wanted to violate the general star's possession.

So at the same time as the second round of volley was fired, Meng Yang's side was already ordered to retreat. However, this was originally a move that was too late, but due to the opponent's deputy general's reluctance, it bought time for the cavalry.

Zedu didn't expect it. Of course, he didn't know what happened. He could only feel a sense of joy.

The ensuing third round of volleys landed in the front camp as Chen Ze expected. Fortunately, with the second round of buffer time, Meng Yang and others had almost withdrawn from the camp.

Therefore, Bao Jianye's third salvo, which he had high hopes for, all hit the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive Li Quanan's artillery fire.

As for Meng Yang's side, only four or five of his cavalry charged deeply and had no time to retreat. They were affected by the aftermath, and the losses were minimal.

During this time, even Chen Ze couldn't laugh or cry.

He originally planned his attack deployment based on speculation that the other party would react, but there seemed to be two commanders on the opposite side. The instructions given were almost completely different, which made him feel confused for a moment.

The feeling of helplessness.

If it were in the previous life, Chen Ze really wanted to say: You are playing with snake skin!

Fortunately, the third round of volleys did not exceed his expectations, and indeed hit the front camp. This at least meant that he had some understanding of the character of one of the enemy commanders.

"It's so dangerous, General!"

Meng Yang's troops who successfully escaped the disaster were all relieved. They were just a little bit away from the rain of boulders. At this time, they were still lucky to survive the disaster. Without knowing Chen Ze's strict order,

Everyone looked at Meng Yang with eyes filled with admiration.

Everyone could see how furious Meng Yang was just now. How could he not be admired for being able to control his anger freely and make the most correct judgment at the critical moment?

Meng Yang, who was at the forefront of the army, did not explain this.

Of course, this cannot be explained, and it is impossible to expose Chen Ze.

Of course, it was not to show off in front of his subordinates and take the credit for himself, but to listen carefully to the new orders Chen Ze was giving.

"Brothers, follow me!"

After carefully listening to Chen Ze's order, Meng Yang's eyes flashed, and then with a wave of his hand, he led the cavalry to rush to the side of the enemy camp, completely abandoning the frontal battlefield.

The most important task of these cavalry was to protect the catapult troops behind them from being harassed and to provide maximum fire support.

However, at this time, the opponent also had catapults. Although Li Quan'an was there, their catapults were farther away. However, after the opponent was covered by two rounds of boulders, Li Quan'an's catapult troops could no longer advance.

If they can't advance, they won't be able to reach further distances, and they won't be able to deal a heavy blow to Bao Jianye's troops. At the same time, the opponent won't be able to break out of the camp to attack Li Quan'an, so there is no need for protection for the time being.

So Meng Yang walked simply and directly, leading all the cavalrymen away in an instant.

Li Quan'an was not idle either. He ordered his men to push the catapult forward, but he directly used the falling rocks thrown by the opponent as cover and placed the catapult directly behind.

They were also certain that after this battle, the enemy coach would definitely not order the catapult to be pushed forward. After all, the attack distance of their own catapult left a deep impression on the opponent.

At this time, Li Quan'an switched from offense to defense, and placed the catapult array directly under the enemy's nose, in order to prevent the enemy from a fatal surprise attack.

As for Chen Ze's decision to make such a deployment, it was because he saw the approach of another army from the map of the Jiangxing system.
