The Era of Generals

Chapter 424 The Prophet

"Damn Ouyang Lixing!"

Zheng Yuanyun's complexion was livid with anger, and even his teeth were chattering.

The feeling of falling from the clouds to the ground just now, even if he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, it was unbearable for a while.

Up to this moment, his excitement had not completely receded, and his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

But who would have thought that the city gate turned out to be a fake!

Zheng Yuanyun didn't even need to look at the top of Tianyuan City, he could think that Ouyang Lixing was laughing with pride at the moment, and this action really cast a shadow on Zheng Yuanyun.

There was no city gate, but another city gate was embedded in the city wall. When Zheng Yuanyun thought of his inexplicable excitement just now, he felt greatly insulted.

On Ouyang Lixing's side, of course, he laughed for a while as Zheng Yuanyun thought, but it didn't last long, and he entered a fighting state.

Taking advantage of the stunned time of the enemy soldiers, Ouyang Lixing was not idle. He waved his big hand fiercely, and the defenders who had already been ready fired with full firepower.

For a while, the wailing continued under the city wall, and it was hard to get out of the attack range of the trebuchet, but the attack of the defenders still fell hard on the head.

Some defenders even poured pot after pot of boiling oil down the city, and some of the boiling oil even started to burn the moment it was poured out. From a distance, it seemed that a rain of flames was falling on the top of Tianyuan City. In general, its scenery is spectacular.

But how could Zheng Yuanyun be in the mood to watch this magnificence at this moment?

Being bullied again and again, the anger accumulated in his chest has reached its peak. The only luck now is that he was a little late in giving the order, and did not let the follow-up cavalry units rush forward, otherwise...

He could see that after the round of replenishment just now, the opponent's trebuchet had already shown a little ferocity. If at that moment just now, he let the cavalry unit rush up to make a surprise attack, he would just run into the opponent's trebuchet unit that had been loaded. , the consequences can be imagined.

Originally thought that after the city gate was blasted, Ouyang Lixing would definitely transfer most of the defenders to the city gate. In this way, the damage to his charge cavalry would be limited, but in the end...

As a result, the other party didn't care that the city gate was broken at all. It is estimated that when I was so excited that I couldn't control myself, the other party was calm and calm. They didn't look at the fake city gate at all. Focus on his backhand.

Fortunately, there is no time to dispatch the cavalry...

Zheng Yuanyun was afraid for a while, but he had no choice but to withdraw the order, and did not let the cavalry charge again.

What are you rushing for?

The opponent didn't even have a city gate at all, so what if the cavalry charged, even if they could pass through the attack range of the catapult, when they got under the city, it would be difficult to hit the city wall with their horses.

damn it!

Zheng Yuanyun was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. In just a short while, the tens of thousands of soldiers who finally gathered were killed in pieces, and the death conditions were even worse than when they were covered with stones before.

"Where is Huang Chengjian?"

Zheng Yuanyun's anger had nowhere to vent, it could only be vented on his own generals, he roared: "Still not moving, what are you waiting for?"

Huang Chengjian is a governor, and also the deputy general who was sent by Zheng Yuanyun to raid the left gate of Tianyuan City. At the same time, when he was in Xilong City, Zheng Yuanyun also sent Huang Chengjian to sneak across the river secretly. Ning Zhenggang suddenly had no way out.

Huang Chengjian was very experienced in this kind of surprise attack tactics around the back, and Zheng Yuanyun was also relieved to hand over a large number of elite troops to his hands.

But after so long, why is there still no movement?

On his side, in order to attract the opponent's attention, he gathered soldiers, charged and attacked the city, and even smashed a fake city gate. It took such a lot of effort. In order to buy enough time for Huang Chengjian to go back?

After all this time, isn't it enough?

It's not enough, Zheng Yuanyun can no longer bear the loss of troops. After watching the last tens of thousands of assault troops almost completely wiped out, at this moment, Zheng Yuanyun's total troop loss has reached Four hundred thousand!

Four hundred thousand!

His heart was bleeding. When he came to Tianyuan City, he still had more than one million troops, but after this round of losses, the total number of troops finally fell below the million mark.

Coupled with the fact that Huang Chengjian took away nearly half a million elite troops, in fact, the current army under the command of Zheng Yuanyun is less than three hundred thousand!

It wasn't until this time that Zheng Yuanyun realized that he had rushed all the way with that unreserved, no-loss style of play, and the absolute advantage he thought he had all along had been exhausted unconsciously.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanyun was even very grateful that Tianyuan City had sealed the city gates, otherwise if the other party sensed the emptiness of his troops at this time, if he rushed out...

Not to mention the question of whether to fight Tianyuan City, whether he can run away is a big problem!

Of course, Zheng Yuanyun would not be unprepared, at least he would not let the opponent easily find out that he was short of troops.

But although it seemed that there would be no danger for the time being, Zheng Yuanyun didn't dare to take any action anymore.

The last less than 300,000 soldiers on hand, he had to save them for the most critical time, either to take advantage of the victory to pursue, or to retreat to save their lives, and then to forcibly attack the city, it was absolutely impossible.

How did it suddenly become such a field?

Zheng Yuanyun forcibly suppressed his anger, and when he was thinking about it, he felt that he was being firmly held by a big hand. His every move, every word and deed seemed to be no longer a secret, but was peeped in advance. The key is broken, so it is arranged in advance.

Otherwise, Ouyang Lixing's move seems inexplicable, but it often works at critical moments. Could it be that he can foresee the future?

Where is the problem?

Zheng Yuanyun bowed his head and thought hard, but he was at a loss and couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Hasn't it been smooth sailing since he first entered the province of Nantes?

Along the way, he was invincible in all battles. Although he lost a lot of troops, after going through the test of blood and fire, the remaining soldiers were all elite soldiers.

But I let these elite soldiers jump into each other's trap one by one.

Yes, the responsibility is indeed on yourself.

Zheng Yuanyun didn't avoid thinking about this issue anymore, but at the same time, the deployment of the other party's unpredictable prophet was also the key to the success or failure of the war.

Well, if say...

"No, hurry up and stop Huang Chengjian!"

Zheng Yuanyun's thoughts flashed, and he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
