The Era of Generals

Chapter 270   Cold-blooded

boom!

Boom boom boom!

The heavy cavalry who had no time to retreat were forced to usher in the second round of bombing, so they also ushered in the second round of people turning their backs.

Under the Fengqi army, Bao Jianye stared dumbfounded. Sure enough, as the lieutenant secretly hoped, his vigorous face had long since disappeared.

But this was not what the lieutenant wanted.

Those who suffered the baptism of artillery fire in front were their own soldiers from the four border cities!

I watched my brothers and comrades turn into torn limbs under the crazy throwing stones, and watched them cry frantically in the purgatory of blood and fire, and the lieutenant'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 swords and shields to resist the stones?

With the current situation, the charging posture of the heavy cavalry has undoubtedly been destroyed, and they are now in an embarrassing situation where they cannot advance or retreat.

It is impossible to charge forward any further. With the current distance, their speed cannot be increased at all, and they are not in formation. As long as the opponent sends a little force out of the city to meet them, these cavalry who have been stunned will be Deliver food.

What's more, they had to endure at least two more rounds of stone throwing and countless arrow rains during the charge. Regardless of how many rounds of blows they could withstand, despite the fact that there were still more than 20,000 people in this group?

No matter how small the number of opponents is, there are still as many as 100,000. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with their incomplete cavalry charges?

As for continuing to send troops to support...

Most of Bao Jianye's subordinates are cavalry, and he can only send cavalry to charge in relay.

But cavalry charges need flat terrain, but right now, how can there be flat terrain?

Just ahead, the heavily armored cavalry who were smashed upside down not only suffered disaster themselves, but also blocked the charging path of the friendly troops behind.

In front of it was another big pit made by throwing stones, and there were corpses of people and horses everywhere, and there were even blazing flames.

Even if people are not afraid, what about horses?

Are horses afraid?

But all animals are born with a sense of fear of flames. This is due to their nature, unless they undergo extremely strict training in the later stage, they may be able to overcome it.

Bao Jianye knew that his horses had not been trained to be afraid of fire. Once he sent cavalry to rush in, the horses frightened by the flames would be frightened and out of control, and there would only be another wave It is useless to give the other party a live target bombed by catapults indiscriminately.

Therefore, if it is said to be saved, it can only be those heavy cavalry who can save themselves. They can only escape from the bloody purgatory and withdraw to their own formation.

Other than that, Bao Jianye really had no choice.

As the governor, he is not useless, at least he has experienced many battles, large and small, and he still has a certain degree of grasp of the situation.

Seeing this situation at this moment, besides standing still, he actually felt a little regretful.

If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have listened to the lieutenant general yesterday and placed those civilians in the rear.

According to his wishes, let these civilians also go into battle. Although it is of no great use, at least it will be useful to clean up the battlefield and put out a fire.

Commoners also have over four hundred thousand!

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

As a result, Bao Jianye's eyes looking at the idiot gradually turned into resentment, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "If you want to save, you go and save!"

"you!"

When the lieutenant heard this, anger welled up in his heart, and the veins on his forehead popped up in an instant, thinking that he would just ignore Bao Jianye and draw his sword angrily.

But he can only think about it, if he dared to cut Bao Jianye with a sword at this time, it would definitely trigger an unavoidable mutiny!

Who will benefit from the mutiny together?

Naturally, those hateful Qingyang Empire people in Xifeng City!

In any case, at this time, he had to hold back his breath, otherwise he would do stupid things like hurting his relatives and hating his enemies.

"Then... according to adults, what should we do?"

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

"Victory or defeat is standard issue!"

Bao Jianye was very indifferent, and said in a tone of admonishing the lieutenant general: "There is no one who wins and loses in a war. This time we suffered a loss, it doesn't matter, we just need to find the place again."

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

What he said could not be said to be earnest, but the lieutenant's heart trembled when he heard it.

Just in front of them not far away, those heavy cavalrymen were still struggling to survive in the blood and fire, and he could even see burning men all over their bodies running towards them as hard as they could. Before they ran back to the base, they fell on the road.

In such a tragic situation that people can't bear to take a second look, Bao Jianye was teaching him earnestly, and he didn't even take a second look at the soldiers who died tragically because of his order.

How cold-blooded this man is!

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

His voice came from not far away, so the lieutenant general heard that Bao Jianye's next order was to put the troops on standby, and even ordered someone to set up the tent first.

It seems that after the failure of the first round of cavalry charge, Bao Jianye's idea at this time is to fight steadily and not to rush forward.

So, those brothers died in vain?

The lieutenant looked forward sadly. Of the 50,000-strong heavy cavalry unit, fewer than 10,000 people fled in embarrassment from the enemy's artillery fire.

With such an order to charge, more than 40,000 people were buried in the city, but Bao Jianye, as the coach, seemed to be okay.

Should it be said that he is too cold-blooded, or that his mental quality is too good?

Regarding this, the deputy general who was not familiar with him was not clear.

And who was also puzzled was Chen Ze who was directing the defense at the top of Xifeng City.

Why didn't the enemy come?

For the coalition forces of the three border cities, the scene under Xifeng City is no less than the horror scene of the end of the world, but for Chen Ze standing on the top of the city, this is just a prelude to a siege battle!

The army of 400,000 came and took the lead, and then stopped?

Chen Ze placed a lot of eyeliners within a radius of two miles outside Xifeng City, that is to say, he opened the whole map for himself.

So he was very sure that the other party did not make any small moves in secret, but stopped as soon as he said it.

Using the binoculars to glance at the enemy, Chen Ze could even see that the enemy was setting up their camp in an orderly manner.

What kind of fairy operation is this?

Chen Ze was dumbfounded.
