Chapter 53: The Last Life
The heads belong to the enemy.
While guarding the west gate, Chen Ze did not relax his vigilance on the other two gates.
People must stay at the west gate. If the poisonous fog army discovers that the defense of the other two gates is empty, the fool will continue to wait patiently for the fire wall to extinguish.
Chen Ze did not miss this detail. When he saw the poisonous fog army beginning to gather, he sent Meng Yang and others out to ambush on the only way around the South City Gate.
Although he could not use generals at that time, Meng Yang and others were not low in martial arts. They were all elite veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they also had the help of Chen Mingzhi who was well versed in scouting. No one could
It slipped right under their noses.
The scouting team of more than ten people sent by General Fang was like a lamb automatically sent into the tiger's mouth. Each one of them left without returning and turned into a bloody human head in Meng Yang's hands.
"Brother, what do you mean..."
Meng Yang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look outside the city.
"There are still too many of them."
Chen Ze looked coldly at the outside of the city, turned around and reported the direction again, and then said: "I will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, do you dare to go out of the city to charge?"
Meng Yang laughed loudly, beat his chest loudly, and said boldly: "Why don't you dare!"
"very good!"
Chen Ze said coldly: "The morale of the troops outside the city is in chaos, and their combat strength has dropped by at least 30%. You are here to kill as many enemies as possible. Even if you cannot completely wipe out the enemy bandits, you must drive them back to the Poison Mist Forest!"
After he finished speaking, he slapped Meng Yang hard on the shoulder. In the eyes of others, it was to encourage him, but in fact, he secretly injected Wu Anguo's general star into Meng Yang's body.
"The last general takes command!"
Meng Yang's face straightened, and he solemnly clasped his fists at Chen Ze, "I will live up to my trust!"
Although there were howls and chaos below the city at this time, the range of the trebuchet was always limited. After throwing away the damaged siege equipment, even if the trebuchet modified by Chen Ze could hit farther, it could not hit it.
It then caused a lot of damage.
At a glance, there were at least five thousand enemy troops under the city.
The morale of these people was now in chaos. Even if they could no longer be gathered to pose a threat to the city gate, they were still too many in number.
If we can't inflict serious damage to it at this time, it will be a troublesome thing after the enemy troops under the city are reduced to pieces and the birds and beasts are scattered.
With the current strength of Xiyun City's troops, it would be no big deal to defend one city gate, but it would be very tight to defend three gates separately.
Once the opponent's general comes to his senses tomorrow, reorganizes the scattered troops into several small-scale raiding armies, and attacks three city gates at the same time, I'm afraid it won't be very easy to defend.
That's why he asked Meng Yang to go out of the city to kill the enemy and try to reduce the number of enemy troops. It would be great if he could drive them back to the Poison Mist Forest in one fell swoop.
After this battle, not only the vitality of the poisonous fog army was severely damaged, but the morale of the people who were forcibly tied together due to interests will inevitably collapse. How easy will it be to make a comeback after escaping back to the nest?
Even if they are coming, it will only be a few days later. With this period of buffering, one of the three routes of reinforcements should arrive. When the troops are sufficient, it is still uncertain who will fight whom!
As the saying goes, be prepared for a rainy day. Chen Ze, who has not been dazzled by the victory in front of him, will not give the opponent another chance!
"return!"
"Stop the fuck!"
General Fang, who was lucky enough to escape under the intensive fire of trebuchets, was in a state of embarrassment. He jumped on an ownerless horse and chased the panicked soldiers.
After cutting down several disobedient soldiers in a row, he raised his sword and shouted with a fierce momentum: "Whoever dares to run away again will be treated as a deserter and will not be killed!"
After all, he is an iron-blooded general who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Together with his momentum, he suppressed many fugitives from the Poison Mist Forest on the spot. With the help of elite soldiers brought from the Zhu Yan Empire, the situation was finally stabilized.
"General Fang, what do you want to do?"
A big man covered in blood emerged from the crowd, but it was Gang Leader Xu who quickly retreated when he saw the opportunity.
At this time, his expression was also unkind, and he said angrily: "Now that the situation is over, and you still tell the brothers to stop, are you asking us to die!"
As soon as he said this, there were many people attached to him, and many soldiers looked at General Fang with colder eyes.
These people are not ordinary soldiers, but cruel and ruthless fugitives. They were driven by profit before and were used by General Fang. Now it is obvious that they can no longer attack the city. This man is still blocking them from escaping, just like
What Gang Leader Xu said was that it was not clear that he wanted them to...
Die!
Thinking of this, many people began to move closer to Gang Leader Xu, forming a conflict with General Fang and his elite soldiers.
General Fang took a deep breath, knowing that he could no longer put pressure on these people, so he tried to slow down his tone and said: "Look back, we are out of the opponent's attack range!"
Everyone turned around and saw that after the chaos, there were no more fireballs fired from the direction of Xiyun City. Just as General Fang said, they were now out of the opponent's attack range.
"so what?"
Leader Xu shouted angrily: "You asked us to stay, weren't you still thinking of attacking the city? If we want to attack the city, we have to go back and die, what's the difference!"
On the surface, Gang Leader Xu is thinking about everyone, but in fact, he is also thinking about his little Jiujiu.
In the baptism of fire just now, many of his own brothers were injured and killed, and his current strength has been greatly reduced. However, while escaping, Gang Leader Xu also saw that three of the leaders of the seven major forces had been killed by the fireball. If he could defeat the other party's forces,
If he takes it for his own use, it may be a blessing in disguise, further strengthening his strength in the Poison Mist Forest.
At this moment, he was acting like a representative of the Poison Mist Forest, just trying to win people's hearts and win over one by one, so as to make up for the losses just now.
With this idea in mind, if General Fang still wants to stop him, Gang Leader Xu doesn't mind staged a drama of internal strife on the spot. After all, his side is the one with more people!
The two sides faced off for a moment, and General Fang said angrily: "You have no way out now!"
"Escape back to the Poisonous Mist Forest?"
"Have you ever thought about it, after this battle, how could the Qingyang Empire allow the Poison Mist Forest to exist again?"
"Now we are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If we lose this battle, no one can escape!"
Hearing this, Gang Leader Xu snorted coldly: "You still want to win?"
"Why can't you win?"
General Fang gritted his teeth and said, "None of the scouts I sent out before came back. Can't you figure out the key to it?"
"The other side obviously doesn't want us to know the situation of other city gates, so they went to great lengths to ambush the scouts, but this just shows that except for the west gate, their defense of the other two city gates is empty!"
"At this time, we have no weight and are riding fast horses. Now we can only attack the gates of other cities with all our strength in order to have a chance of survival!"
His analysis was not unreasonable. Even though Gang Leader Xu had made up his mind to recruit more people to escape to the Poison Mist Forest and become the Earth Emperor, he still hesitated at this time.
