boom!

Just when Meng Yang and Xu Qing decided to retreat, Li Quan'an's catapult troops, which had not been launched for a long time, suddenly opened fire!

Dozens of bolides that had been preparing to strike pierced the sky again, exploding a new round of blood in the enemy camp.

This time the distance was closer. Although the catapult troops would not be able to clean up the falling rocks thrown by the enemy for a while, from their current position, they could still attack the front camp near the middle camp.

There, the front formation changed into the rear formation, and a large number of border coalition troops advanced towards the rear camp.

Naturally, Li Quan'an could not see the situation in the enemy camp. He ordered his men to fire stones, mostly to cooperate with the evacuation of Meng Yang, Xu Qing and others.

Unexpectedly, it was a mistake. The opponent's front formation changed to the rear formation. It was when the defense was weakest behind them. This round of blasts went through. Although it did not explode in the center of the square formation, it affected at least a quarter of the soldiers.

Suddenly there was another burst of wailing.

Enemy from both sides!

At this moment, one can imagine the frustration felt in the hearts of the border coalition forces.

It was impossible to attack from the front, and with the current situation of abandoning the horse and carrying the shield, if you wanted to attack the opponent's catapult troops, you would have to endure several more rounds of bombing. No one could bear this loss.

What's deplorable is that the other side is firing freely, while the catapult troops on their side are on fire, so they don't have the ability to fight back.

The catapult can only hold its breath for now, and can only resist the opponent's artillery fire and retreat quickly to find someone who can beat it.

The sword-and-shield phalanx obviously has an advantage over the cavalry troops, which is why it can be beaten.

But what if the other party doesn't fight you?

When the general commanding the phalanx finally endured the enemy's stone bombardment and rushed to the rear camp, wanting to vent his anger on the opponent's cavalry troops, what he saw was...

Ran!

The cavalry troops of more than 50,000 and nearly 60,000 people were completely wiped out before the defensive phalanx finally retreated to the rear camp!

How can this not make people vomit blood!

What's even more annoying is that from the soldiers who survived, the commander also learned the news that the commander Bao Jianye had been assassinated.

Being able to command the extremely important defensive formation at this time, this general was naturally Bao Jianye's own confidant. When he heard that his patron had died like this, how could he not be angry?

What's the use of being angry?

Now let’s change the defensive formation into a charge formation, and let the soldiers put down their giant shields and turn into cavalry?

Not to mention the lack of time, where could he find so many war horses in such a short time?

If a battle is fought in chaos, even the people are in chaos, how can it be said that it is a war horse?

He could easily see the war horses with a quick glance, but those war horses were already frightened, and many of the horses' tails were still burning with flames. This was the time when they were running wildly in fear, and in a short time

There is no way to appease him within the time limit.

Therefore, the only choice they can make in the end is...

I endured it.

Although I am very angry and unwilling, at this time, what else can I do except endure?

Nothing... can be done!

"retreat!"

On Li Quan'an's side, after receiving the news from Chen Ze that Meng Yang and others had successfully broken through, he no longer hesitated and directly ordered all his subordinates to retreat.

When he came, he had to be escorted by Meng Yang and his cavalry. When he returned, Li Quan'an just smiled coldly in the direction of the enemy camp, not worried at all that the enemy would come out of camp to pursue him at this time.

At the top of Xifeng City, Chen Ze also exhaled heavily.

The battle has progressed to this point, and he knows that it is stable.

Although he did not completely wipe out the enemy... in fact, he also knew that with his own military strength, it was impossible to really wipe out more than 300,000 enemy soldiers here.

According to the battle achievements fed back from the star system and Xu Qing's description, the enemy's coach was most likely killed in this battle.

When the two armies confront each other and the commander dies, one can imagine the blow to morale. What's more, there will be a series of subsequent command and dispatch problems, and it will be difficult to restore the normal command system for a while.

What's more surprising is that I thought that the opponent's cavalry lineup should not be equipped with catapults and other siege equipment, but I didn't expect that there were dozens of them hidden in the rear camp.

Fortunately, we are determined to give it a try today, otherwise when the enemy's reinforcements arrive and the troop configuration is completed, and with the help of catapults, the pressure on Xifeng City's defense will increase several times.

Being able to get rid of the catapults at this time will undoubtedly greatly disrupt the opponent's deployment. Even if reinforcements arrive at this time, the first thing to do is to clean up the mess, not to attack the city.

What follows is the result of this battle.

Chen Ze can receive real-time information on how many enemies have been killed. Based on the fact that each ordinary soldier can get ten points of combat merit, he can probably calculate that the number of enemy soldiers who died in this battle is about 90,000.

, in addition there are generally thirteen generals and one commander.

This battle earned Chen Ze more than one million in battle merit. In addition to ordinary soldiers, the battle merit given by the enemy's commander was also extremely generous. At least, he made up for some of the battle merit he had spent in preparation, which made Chen Ze

Ze's total military merits rebounded to more than 2.7 million.

Unfortunately, this battle was also the first time since Chen Ze led troops in this world that his own soldiers suffered a large number of casualties.

Because he did not expect that the enemy would hide so many catapults, Meng Yang's charge was slightly slower. With only that delay, the enemy's catapults fired a volley, causing the cavalry troops to appear unexpectedly.

Massive casualties.

Although it was much smaller than the enemy's losses, it was still less than 10,000 people who lost their lives under the rain of boulders.

This made Chen Ze extremely distressed.

His troops are hard-won, and unlike the enemy here in Xifeng City, they can be replenished at any time. What's more, Chen Ze even pointed to these 100,000 troops as his team to develop in this world. This time

He had lost almost one tenth of his life, how could he not feel pain?

It's a pity that the matter has come to this, and it is useless to be upset. The only consolation is that those soldiers did not sacrifice their lives in vain. After this battle, Xifeng City can maintain its stability for a long time.

From Chen Ming, he learned that there was still no movement from the reinforcements in Dongping City, which meant that at least in the next two days, there would be no threats to the security of Xifeng City.

After waiting for two more days, the situation of him guarding Xifeng City alone will change.

If he could not wait for reinforcements, Chen Ze would not seriously stick to this place.

The casualties this time sounded the alarm for him. As a young man with a young team, he could not afford another loss.
Chapter completed!
