The Era of Generals

Chapter 286 Counterattack

"This... can fight!"

Looking at the embarrassment of the enemy camp on the tower, Chen Ze couldn't help but widen his eyes, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Is this too easy?

In the volley of the catapult just now, he received the military exploits rewarded by the system in real time, a total of more than 300,000!

This means that at least 30,000 soldiers on the opposite side died under the bombing of the catapult.

This is just a salvo!

Chen Ze originally imagined that it would not be easy for this wave of salvo to be successfully fired, after all, the two sides are separated by more than two miles.

With such a long distance, even a blind person can detect something is wrong and deal with it, right?

But their response was simply to light a torch.

Oh, and the light from this torch is of no use now, because all around the camp there are flames burning violently, some of which are tents being set alight, while others are people being set alight.

response?

How can there be any response?

Chen Ze could see it clearly, but Li Quanan below might not be able to see it so clearly, but before Chen Ze's order came, Cheng Yu, who was good at seizing opportunities, had already issued a new order through Li Quanan's mouth.

The whole army advances!

That was really advancing, and the soldiers under him began to push the catapult crazily, leaning further forward.

The volley just now only hit the periphery of the enemy camp, and if we advance a hundred steps forward, if the loaded catapult fires another round of volley, it will have to hit the center of the enemy camp directly. The densest area!

Just like Chen Ze's dumbfounded thought, what Li Quanan was thinking at the moment was also those three words: I can fight!

Going out of the city to attack the enemy with a desperate posture, originally just wanted to create some opportunities for Xu Qing, who would have thought that this plan might have to be changed, if there was another round of salvo, not to mention Chen Ze, even Li Quanan was confident to directly attack the enemy. Defeat and even crush your opponents!

You must know that Zhao Yun is in the front. After being shot by two volleys of catapults, the enemy cannot gather in a short period of time. How can they withstand Zhao Yun's charge?

The 50,000 troops are well-organized and the morale is like a rainbow. The elite cavalry is panicked, and the enemy is scattered and stunned. Even if the opponent's number is several times that of your own, so what?

There will be no suspense in the result!

"Quick, push forward!"

Li Quan'an, like Meng Yang before, kept pace in his heart, directing the catapult towards his ideal assembly point.

It's still... thirty steps away!

Even after possessing Cheng Yu, Li Quanan's mind became much calmer. At this moment, his heart still couldn't help beating violently. He deeply understood that as long as this blow is successful, the crisis in Xifeng City will be resolved immediately. !

Even if reinforcements from the other side came afterward, the plight of the leading troops would be in front of them. In any case, the latecomers would be concerned, and they would no longer be able to pose a substantial threat to Xifeng City.

After going back and forth again and again, our own reinforcements should also arrive. At that time, what is there to be afraid of?

Twenty steps!

While Li Quanan was thinking, the catapult moved forward another ten steps, only twenty steps away from the attack location he expected!

Meng Yang also returned to the team, ready to wait with all the cavalry.

Chen Ze naturally had an order to pass on to him at this time. Compared with letting the cavalry rush into the flames and massacre, naturally the catapult can cause more damage to the opponent. At this time, his task is no longer to charge and kill the enemy , but try our best to ensure the safety of the catapult troops!

But it seems that there is no crisis for him to deal with?

Meng Yang was concentrating on guard, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, a stone was thrown across his head.

Have they arrived at their intended location?

The thought in his mind was only halfway up when Meng Yang's complexion suddenly changed!

The stone was not hit from behind, but from the opposite side!

From the enemy's camp!

"Be careful, hide quickly!"

His reaction was also extremely quick, as soon as he realized something was wrong, he immediately roared back.

The catapult on the opposite side was not ignited with kerosene. Although the sea of ​​flames below almost lit up half of the sky, thanks to the dark sky, the catapult that was ejected into the extremely high sky still left only a faint afterimage, which was hardly noticeable. .

And there are so many...

"rush!"

With a single stroke of the silver gentian gun in Meng Yang's hand, he ordered all the cavalry to charge forward.

This is also a helpless move. At this moment, it is too late to ask the cavalry to disperse. Only by rushing forward can most soldiers escape, so as not to suffer a heavier blow.

That's right, the catapults were attacking the cavalry troops gathered in front of them. The opponent didn't have super long-distance catapults like them, and couldn't attack the catapult troops behind them, but...

"stop!"

Li Quan'an also stared angrily at this moment, and hurriedly ordered the troops to stop moving forward.

Ten steps!

Only ten steps away!

These ten steps are the best attacking positions in Li Quanan's mind, but at this moment, they are also the most intensive landing points of the opponent's throwing stones!

boom!

The ground was trembling, and it was unknown whether it was caused by the cavalry of Meng Yang's men rushing forward collectively, or by the intensive falling of stones.

I can only hear that at this moment, besides the tremor of the earth, people are roaring in pain, and horses are also neighing, but this time, people turned their backs on their backs, and it was replaced by Meng Yang's side.

After all, it was still slow.

How could a person's movements be faster than the catapult that had already been ejected into the air, not to mention that under Meng Yang's order, there were still many cavalrymen who were in a state of bewilderment and had no time to make a forward posture.

Not everyone noticed the faint afterglow in the dark sky.

"asshole!"

Meng Yang's eyes were about to burst, and he was undoubtedly the one who reacted the fastest. After rushing forward to avoid the stone-throwing attack, he looked back and was instantly furious.

Behind him are his brothers!

The cavalry at the end of the line didn't notice the coming crisis at all. When Meng Yang yelled, some of them rushed forward a few steps, while others stayed where they were.

However, no matter whether they were rushing forward or not moving, they were still within the attack range of the opponent's catapult. This round of falling, they were the most severely injured wave.

In an instant, thousands of brothers were crushed to death and injured, and there were countless others who fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

The only consolation is that the incident happened suddenly, and the opponent did not have time to prepare as well as their catapult troops, and did not pour oil on the catapult, so that the burning flames would not cause more fierce secondary damage.

But this still made Meng Yang unbearable.

These people were brought out by him, and it is his responsibility to bring them back.

When did he, Meng Yang, lead the army, suffer such a large number of casualties?

What he saw in his eyes made Meng Yang furious!
