The Era of Generals

Chapter 429   A Disastrous Fall

That heavy cavalry was an ace troop in Zheng Yuanyun's hands, and it would never be seconded to any general for use.

Although it can't play a big role in the siege battle, it is a trump card in the encounter battle. With a crowd of 100,000, it can be worth nearly 500,000 opponents. If there is some cooperation, It is not impossible to win the battle.

Huang Chengjian had been coveting the heavy cavalry for a long time, but he also knew that Zheng Yuanyun would never hand over this troop to him for deployment, so the 200,000 cavalry troops on hand were mainly light cavalry.

Light cavalry is not like heavy cavalry. Although it is not as powerful as heavy cavalry in terms of impact, it is flexible enough, and most of them will not use extremely heavy charge spears. Bows and arrows are weapons with dual combat capabilities of swords and bows.

Huang Chengjian ordered the light cavalry to charge down the city. Before the opponent came out of the city to meet the enemy, the saber was of course useless, but the bow and arrow still had some effect.

The light cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city, relying on flexibility to avoid the rolling stones and trees thrown down from the top of the city from time to time, while shooting furiously from the sky, and fought back from the bottom of the city to the top of the city. Although the lethality is not very strong, it can finally attract the top The enemy's attention, so that the impact hammer troops and siege towers in the rear can get closer to the city gate without being attacked.

Facts have proved that Huang Chengjian's strategy is very successful.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that there are slightly fewer defenders on the top of the city.

Huang Chengjian, who didn't know that Zheng Yuanyun had retreated, thought that Mr. Zheng's containment on the frontal battlefield was very successful, so that Ouyang Lixing could not free up more manpower to deal with him.

Faced with such a situation, Huang Chengjian even secretly made up his mind that he must not disappoint Mr. Zheng's expectations, and must take down the left city gate to open a hole for the victory of his troops!

So, under his eager eyes, apart from the light cavalry, the infantry phalanx in the rear finally rushed to the city under the vague artillery fire. Seeing that, the dozens of hammers he brought were about to hit the city. On the city gate.

One hit!

This is Huang Chengjian's expectation, and also the reason for his excitement at the moment. No matter how you look at it, the other party has no spare power to stop him from smashing the city gate!

Once the city gate is broken, a large number of light cavalry guarding the city gate can take the opportunity to attack the city gate, killing and hacking indiscriminately, without even needing him to issue other orders, Tianyuan City can be plunged into incomparable chaos .

When that time comes, will Ouyang Lixing still stick to the main city gate?

Ah!

Huang Chengjian sneered, and what appeared in his eyes was the commander's badge that he had dreamed of for a long time!

However, at this moment, from the direction of the main city gate, a messenger soldier hurried over, and kept shouting from a long distance: "General Huang, I have something important to deliver!"

Huang Chengjian looked away from the gate of Tianyuan City, glanced at him, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

I couldn't help but think of Mr. Zheng's previous ringing arrow. The message in the arrow was to make him give up attacking the city. But at that time, Huang Chengjian disobeyed the order and adopted the attitude of killing first and playing later. He ordered the soldiers to attack the city first, and then returned to Zheng Yuan. Yun shot a loud arrow.

I thought that the battle had already started on his side, so Mr. Zheng would not say anything more, but why did he send messengers to hurry over?

In the current situation, he will not give up easily no matter what!

Huang Chengjian made up his mind secretly, while waving his hand to let the guards go, he let the messenger soldier gallop towards him.

"General Huang, Mr. Zheng sent news from his subordinates that the main gate of Tianyuan City has been blasted!"

The messenger soldier took a deep breath and hurriedly reported.

"oh?"

Huang Chengjian's eyes lit up, then he raised his brows and said with joy: "As expected of Mr. Zheng, has it been blasted?"

"Then hurry back and tell Mr. Zheng that my side is coming soon. When the time comes, our two parties will meet in Tianyuan City. This time, we will definitely kill Ouyang Lixing to regret coming to this world!"

Huang Chengjian had a big heart, and he never thought that the main city gate, which caused them heavy losses, would be breached by Mr. Zheng in such a short period of time.

No wonder he hasn't seen many defenders here. So the defenders are still busy blocking the shattered city gate, right?

In this way, his pressure will be further reduced, and it is only a matter of time before he wants to break through the left city gate.

This credit, he is established!

When Huang Chengjian was laughing loudly, he saw that the messenger soldier had a bitter expression on his face, and Weiwei said: "General Huang doesn't know, this city gate was smashed, but it's fake!"

"Fake?"

Huang Chengjian was taken aback when he heard the words, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

His eyebrows were fixed, and he rushed to the messenger soldier, grabbed his collar and shouted: "What's going on?"

The messenger soldier was almost suffocated by him, and finally said with difficulty: "Go back to General Huang, the gate on the city wall is fake, our brothers smashed the gate with all our lives, But there is still a city wall behind the gate, and there is no road leading to Tianyuan City!"

"It turns out...is it fake?"

Huang Chengjian's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly.

Being able to reach the level of supervisor, he is naturally not a stupid person, and he immediately thought of a lot from this point.

"Tianyuan City, is this a closed city?"

He suddenly turned his gaze to the left city gate where the fierce battle was raging. If the main gate is fake, what about his place?

It is also very likely to be fake!

What's the point of smashing the city gate, only to find that there is still a city wall behind the gate that makes them sigh?

No!

What if it's just the main city gate that's fake?

After all, Ouyang Lixing will not leave a way out for himself, right?

Huang Chengjian thought about it again, in fact, the situation would be so pessimistic, the main city gate is fake, can't we just say that the left city gate is also fake?

Of course, when he thought about it again, it was actually just the last straw that he had no choice but to grasp.

Naturally, it is impossible to retreat right now, no, in fact, there is no way to retreat anymore. The soldiers have already rushed to the city gate. At this time, he ordered the whole army to retreat?

Can you still get out?

If the left city gate is real, if he orders people to retreat, morale will drop a lot, and Tianyuan City will open the city gate to kill the generals, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity? Innocent being hunted down again?

It's no wonder that Mr. Zheng used the arrow to warn him just now. It turned out that the problem actually appeared here.

It's not that someone is jealous of his achievements and wants to get involved, but Master Zheng has already noticed something wrong, so he wants him to stop.

It's a pity that I had a wrong mind, thinking that someone would take my credit, and I couldn't wait to launch an attack.

Right now, he has no way to retreat.
