The Era of Generals

Chapter 285   Howling Before Dawn

Dawn is the beginning of the day, but it is also the most exhausting time for a person who stays up late.

Especially for the border coalition guards who have been guarding most of the night.

It has been almost two days since we came to Xifeng City, except for the first day when the two sides had... No, it should be said that after our side was unilaterally beaten for a round, there was no more movement between the two sides.

There is no movement, and I know that there are few people on the other side, and there is a high probability that they will stick to the city.

In this case, it is better to turn a blind eye and close one eye...

In the camp of the border coalition army, except for the soldiers in the tents who were sleeping soundly, even the guards were stumbling around at this time, and the few who didn't sleep were yawning again and again. Who still had the energy to observe the situation closely, only looking forward to the time for shift change Hurry up, so I can go back to the account to make up for sleepiness.

The most ridiculous thing was that the torch on the side of the tent had been extinguished at some point, but no one tried to light it again.

Too lazy to move.

Chen Ze had already noticed this situation at the top of the city, but he hadn't taken any action.

Compared with the relaxation of the border coalition forces, no matter whether there is any movement or not, Chen Ze's side has always been in good order, and the monitoring of the situation outside the city has never been relaxed.

This is the influence of the commander of an army on his subordinates. Chen Ze has been staying at the head of the city for the past two days. On Jianye's side, he served food and drinks every day. He had no plans to attack the city, but he just wanted to wait to exhaust the other party's resources.

Comparing the two phases makes a judgment.

The result of this is that even at dawn, the gate of Xifeng City, which had been closed all along, was opened, which was extremely important, but was not discovered by the sentries of the border coalition forces in the first place.

Although Meng Yang is bluffing, he is also a person who knows the importance.

Don't look at him being arrogant and arrogant inside the city gate, his voice shook the whole field, once he left the city, his mouth was shut tighter than anyone else.

The 50,000 cavalrymen were all bound with thick cotton cloth on their horseshoes. Although they could not be said to be silent during the march, the slight sound was not something that could be heard casually from the enemy camp two miles away.

Chen Ze has been paying attention to the situation on the other side at the top of the city, while Meng Yang has already led the army and started to slowly accelerate towards the enemy camp at the bottom of the city.

It is said to be slow, but with the blessing of Ma Teng's skills, the speed is still faster than normal. After the cavalry, the catapults loaded with boulders and kerosene were also pushed out one by one. Under the cover of the cavalry , Li Quanan was directing the soldiers to take up positions.

The catapult does not need to be pushed too far forward, with Cheng Yu's ambush skills, this ultra-long-distance catapult attack will be a nightmare for the opponent.

Two miles, one and a half miles, one mile!

Meng Yang was pacing in his heart, his pair of big copper bell eyes were slightly squinted, and he was staring straight ahead.

Finally, when he was only one mile away from the opponent, he saw the guard post at the entrance of the enemy's camp begin to move.

The first thing that changed was the relighting of the extinguished torches on the side of the camp gate.

And at the same time as the flames came together, it seemed to be a signal to Meng Yang, causing his slightly squinted eyes to suddenly widen.

At the same time, Chen Ze sent an order through the general star system... Gong!

"Kill!"

Meng Yang, who had held his breath for a long time, suddenly yelled loudly. Although this roar was not as special as Zhang Fei's, it still shook the sky. Even if it was a mile away, the soldiers of the border coalition army who were sleeping They also felt a thunderbolt on their heads.

"kill!"

As soon as Meng Yang moved, he and his horse were as fast as lightning, and one man and one gun had already charged straight into the enemy camp. Encouraged by this, the eyes of the fifty thousand cavalrymen behind them turned red, and they all tried their best to raise their whips and clip their horses. Switch to charge mode.

Thanks to the acceleration effect brought by Ma Teng, the charge of 50,000 cavalry could reach its peak earlier, and the distance of more than one mile was being shortened rapidly at this time, almost at the moment when the word "kill" was still echoing in the air At that time, the formation in the shape of a sharp arrow had already crossed more than half of the distance.

However, what was faster than the cavalry's charge were the fireballs that were burning vigorously across the arc of death in mid-air!

Catapults are also firing at the same time!

Forty catapults covered with kerosene and tails billowing with smoke almost illuminated the dark sky in an instant. Sober camp!

"Quick...quick...run!"

The timing of Meng Yang's and others' attack was just when the opposing sentry sensed something was wrong and just discovered that there were dark crowds approaching them.

At the beginning, the guards thought they were delusional, so they remembered that the torches at the camp gate were half extinguished, so they thought about lighting the torches and looking again.

So what they saw was the cavalry rushing from the land, and the approaching fireball in mid-air!

What else can you do at this time?

To be able to yell at the top of my voice to remind my comrades in the camp is already the most benevolent.

The guards who shouted out of human instinct, just before the bolide was about to approach, all of them ran with their heads in their arms, frantically fleeing to both sides of the camp for their lives.

For a distance of one mile, Meng Yang had never seen a single enemy who came out to stop him, and even because his spear and horse charged too fast, he had no choice but to rein in the horse's head first, so that he could launch a stone-throwing attack later. .

So right in front of his eyes, the flames burst into flames!

boom!

Boom boom boom!

Without any precautions, forty huge flaming stones bloomed in the camp of the border coalition forces, blowing up sparks.

"Enemy...enemy attack!"

The sleeping enemy camp was finally awakened, and screams of terror sounded from all around at the same time, but there was still no time.

Many tents were burned down at the same time as the fireball fell, and the people inside didn't even have time to say anything, so the tents were closed.

And this is lucky, at least he didn't feel much pain before he died.

The worst ones were those soldiers who were engulfed by the flames and were crying in pain and rolling all over the camp.

Burning men jumped in front of Meng Yang's eyes one after another, and the tents that were not hit were also affected. As a result, more tents were set on fire, and more Burning men rushed out from inside, and passed on. To the camp farther away.

The defenseless enemy camp was completely stunned by the sudden stone-throwing attack.

In an instant, at least a quarter of the vast camp was on fire, and countless soldiers were smashed to death and burned to death.

Even Meng Yang was stunned.

This charge... how can I continue this charge?

They charged forward to provide cover for the catapults behind them. If the enemy was prepared, their cavalry could provide sufficient time for the catapults behind to attack.

But at this time...do I still need it?
