Chapter 201: Reinforcement arrives
The more than 200 people who appeared in the city at the beginning of the war were now back in their houses. No matter what their emotions were, the battle in Changxiangcheng was inevitable. If they wanted to survive, they could only hope to win for the rest of their lives and defeat all the enclave soldiers.
As the dark night arrived, everything was shrouded in the hazy moonlight. The enemy camp did not move at all for the whole day, which made Huang Yuchen a little confused. They gave up the best opportunity to take Changxiangcheng and did not attack for a day. Then wouldn’t the soldiers who had invested before be killed in vain?
Huang Yuchen did not understand the enemy's intentions, and he only had a few guesses about this matter.
As Yu Sheng said, the enemy did not want to give it any chance. Once the troops attacked immediately, half of the total force was invested, and about 10,000 people attacked Changxiangcheng, but they were eventually repelled under Huang Yuchen's Lihuo Formation and Yu Sheng's hard counterattack. The remaining enemy troops had about 5,000 front and back gates, and such troops might only be able to survey and resist the breakthrough of Changxiangcheng. If they were invested in the attack, the enemy's defense would definitely be in short supply. If Yu Sheng led his team out of the city gate and used the cavalry's impetus to point directly to the enemy's camp, it would be possible to break through the siege and escape from the sky.
The enemy's current approach is obviously waiting for reinforcements. Huang Yuchen figured out what Yu Sheng meant, and he probably wanted to attract all the enemy defending nearby to Changxiangcheng to clear the road before Wufeng City.
But Huang Yuchen didn't know what Yu Sheng's last trump card was. If the three thousand defenders in the city were really attacked by the enemy, self-protection would be a problem. How to break through, how to go to Wufeng City?
Under the hazy night, the enemy camp was like a dormant beast. Waiting for the most appropriate opportunity, killing it with one blow.
It took a long time, late at night.
The sound of insects coming from time to time on the hills on both sides, and their time has arrived.
The sound of neat military boots stomping on the ground came from the official road in the front gate. Huang Yuchen stood on the front gate wall and clearly saw the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
Under the moonlight, the enemy troops took neat steps and gathered near the original enemy camp. The square formation was arranged neatly and densely, filling the entire official road and the open space on both sides.
Huang Yuchen frowned slightly. After this day's march, the enemy's reinforcements finally arrived.
But there are probably tens of thousands of reinforcements looking at the front door.
"Enemy reinforcements arrived!"
The sergeants on the post conveyed the enemy's movements throughout Changxiangcheng as soon as possible. At the same time, the sergeants at the back door also reported the same news.
Yu Sheng was about to come out of the city lord's mansion, rushed to the city wall at the back door, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the enemy formation gathering in the distance, with a cold light on his eyes.
Huang Yuchen quickly passed through the entire Changxiang City and came to Yu Sheng's side. The enemy reinforcements had arrived, and Yu Sheng needed to inform him of the arrangements behind him in detail.
Yu Sheng turned his head and looked at Huang Yuchen and smiled softly. This smile, reflected under the rule of the moonlight, made Huang Yuchen feel a little cunning.
"You don't need to think too much, wait for my signal. When you see the fireworks, you can stimulate all the formations you can stimulate. Before that, you only need normal defense." Yu Sheng smiled and said to Huang Yuchen: "The enemy supports 20,000 troops this time. Most of them are new recruits who have not been fought or people who have been forced to the battlefield. You should know that if all the soldiers attack, try not to hurt their lives."
Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this. When Yu Sheng gave orders to thirty-six centurions before, Huang Yuchen had not woken up yet, so he naturally didn't know what Yu Sheng had arranged before. Now it sounded that his reaction was almost the same as the reactions of many centurions before.
In such a chaotic siege, how to identify whether the enemy is a soldier or a commoner?
"Try to keep your hand." Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuchen with a confused look on his face and said, "If you can't distinguish, you just need to kill directly, don't think too much." After saying that, he paused and continued, "You prepare a war horse under the city. If you see my fireworks, activate the fire array in the front door, and then rush to the back door as quickly as possible."
Huang Yuchen nodded slightly, thinking about Yu Sheng's words while heading towards the front door.
With the two city walls in front and behind, Huang Yuchen and Yu Sheng must be separated and dispersed the strongest combat power. At the critical moment, Huang Yuchen can repel the enemy's attack through the Lihuo Formation, while Yu Sheng can use powerful force to help the soldiers guard the back door.
The distance from the front gate of Changxiangcheng to the back gate is at least a few miles away. Yu Sheng asked Huang Yuchen to prepare a war horse, so that he could reach the back gate as soon as possible and activate the Lihuo Formation. Huang Yuchen's fighting energy ability is far less than Yu Sheng, and his degree is not at the same level. Relying on his own way alone, he will not be too fast.
Huang Yuchen led a war horse in the city and placed the war horse under the front gate wall. He walked quickly and climbed the front gate wall in a few steps.
At this moment, the enemy's formation has been assembled and reinforcements have been fully integrated into the previous formation. Now, the entire enemy's formation seems to be several times larger than before, and all kinds of siege equipment are available.
The catapult that had not been thrown into battle by the enemy before was now placed in the middle of the formation. This time, the enemy will definitely use this equipment in this attack.
A catapult can project huge rocks or tree trunks outside the range of the longbow and directly attack the city wall. It is a great threat to the city wall and the sergeant defending in the city.
Huang Yuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the trencher in the distance, and calculated quickly in his mind. If the trencher really starts attacking, the seven or eight feet high city wall in Changxiangcheng would probably be smashed into pieces without a few strokes.
Just as he was trying to deal with the strategy, there were sounds of horse hooves in the city behind him. Huang Yuchen immediately turned around and saw hundreds of black-armored iron cavalry, arranged neatly in front of the front door. The black helmets and black armor should be in the bright moonlight, a bleak and solemn place.
Looking towards the back door, there were the same number of black-armored iron cavalry gathering. Huang Yuchen felt moved and immediately understood what was going on.
When dealing with the enemy's catapult, you must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise it will pose a great threat to the city wall. Yu Sheng must have seen the same catapult at the back door, and immediately ordered a large group to assemble and prepare to raid to destroy the enemy's catapult.
When Huang Yuchen saw the black-armored iron cavalry shrouded in the bright moonlight under the city, he felt a sense of security for no reason. With them, the enemy's catapults would no longer be a threat.
“Woo…”
At this moment, a dull horn sound came from the enemy camp.
