The Era of Generals

Chapter 476 Half an Hour

"Continuing like this..."

At the head of the city, Zheng Yuanyun was thinking while directing the battle.

As the battle progressed to the present, it was inevitable that his troops began to suffer losses.

Ouyang Lixing would either not attack, but once he attacked, he would be insane. Zheng Yuanyun was overwhelmed by the wave after wave of attacks.

But the situation is still within his tolerance range.

Just a little longer...just a little longer...

Zheng Yuanyun looked up at the sky, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's been a long day, but luckily it's almost over.

Zheng Yuanyun looked out of the city coldly, while Ouyang Lixing was still directing the soldiers to attack his city gate. Looking at him like that, he didn't seem to sense the imminent crisis at all?

"very good!"

A cruel smile appeared on Zheng Yuanyun's face. He glanced around, his own strength was still sufficient, and he believed that it would be no problem to defend for another day or two.

But right now there is no need to defend for so long anymore, reinforcements will arrive soon!

In the process of defending the city, Zheng Yuanyun did not fail to see the phoenix-winged flaming arrows that occasionally exploded. Although he was not very clear about the meaning of the flaming arrows, Zheng Yuanyun believed that the soldiers would block the water and flood the soil.

No matter what conspiracy or tricks the other party has, he just sticks to one side and sticks to the city. Under the condition that this major premise remains unchanged, Zheng Yuanyun also fired three loud arrows to urge Ma Hui's reinforcements.

Fortunately, the other party of his loud arrow didn't know what it meant, and Zheng Yuanyun quickly got a response from Ma Hui. The message in the loud arrow told him that they were very close, and it would take about half an hour. , it will appear within the surrounding area of ​​Ihe Castle.

Half an hour!

This news made Zheng Yuanyun clench his fists fiercely, and suddenly he felt a feeling that all hardships have been rewarded.

Just hold on for another half an hour, once Ma Hui's reinforcements arrive, then...

Zheng Yuanyun never doubted whether he could withstand the question for half an hour, even if he didn't even think about it, because it was simply insulting himself.

What we have to do now is to survive this half an hour, and while defending, we can also start to secretly deploy counterattacks.

Zheng Yuanyun never thought of letting Ouyang leave.

Since you are going to beat him, well, you have to be prepared to be beaten back, not just forget if you can't beat him, and you can retreat to keep safe.

Moreover, the tortoise-like Tianyuan City is indeed a trouble, instead of letting Ouyang go back to defend the city and spend a lot of time and troops attacking the city, it is better to solve it here.

As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Zheng Yuanyun's own troops would suddenly swell to nearly 4 million. He didn't think there would be any suspense in the face of Ouyang Lixing's already lost troops!

So, at this moment.

Just when Zheng Yuanyun was planning to pursue the matter, a burst of warning golden gongs suddenly came from the city.

Hearing this voice, Zheng Yuanyun's face was slightly startled, and when he turned around in doubt, his heart suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, shaking his whole body.

In the city?

No, the sound came from inside the city, but the warning sound should have come from inside the city... from the back gate!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yuanyun's heart trembled, and he listened carefully, this was indeed the warning plus rescue alarm that had been agreed with Xu Tianci!

As soon as the bell rang, that is to say, the back gate of Juhe City...

"Quick, send someone over to see what happened!"

Zheng Yuanyun yelled suddenly, and then changed his words: "Come back, order Hu Tianyang to bring 50,000 people there, and guard me no matter what!"

The alarm bell has already sounded, so it is enough to send someone over to take a look at it right now, Zheng Yuanyun also suddenly realized that the most important thing now is to send someone over to defend.

Fortunately, he had already deployed the pursuit, and some of his troops had been withdrawn from the top of the city, and began to gather at the gate of the city, which happened to be sent to the rear gate to assist in the defense.

at the same time……

"It shouldn't be!"

Zheng Yuanyun frowned, of course he remembered clearly what troops he had deployed at the back gate, and Xu Tianci was also one of his favorite generals, someone he could trust.

The order he gave Xu Tianci at the beginning was to let him lead the heavy cavalry to defend the rear gate. Once the enemy was found, he would let the heavy cavalry charge up and use offense instead of defense to deal with it.

But this charge, Zheng Yuanyun also emphatically emphasized that it must not be pursued too deeply. Xu Tianci's main and only task is still to ensure that the rear city gate is not lost.

Zheng Yuanyun believed that Xu Tianci would faithfully carry out his orders, so compared to the other three city gates, the rear gate was the place where Zheng Yuanyun felt most at ease.

First, most of Ouyang Lixing's troops were on the bright side. If he had any ideas about the rear city gate, as long as there was a slight change in the troops, Zheng Yuanyun would definitely receive news from here.

And in fact... He really received the news.

Just when the alarm bell rang and Zheng Yuanyun sent people to defend, the guards on the left and right sides of the city sent him a message almost at the same time, warning Zheng Yuanyun that there were some people on the left and right sides. The siege units began to move towards the back gate.

However, the return of this news did not solve the doubts in Zheng Yuanyun's heart.

Separated part of the siege arms?

With the attack power of the heavy cavalry, unless Ouyang Lixing sends most of his troops to the rear city gate, then he can pose a threat to the heavy cavalry. If Ouyang Lixing really does this, he is not a fool, of course he will In the first time also adjust their troop configuration.

How did he know that Xu Tianci was indeed faithfully carrying out the orders he had given him, even if he was chasing the light cavalry, he had made a decision for himself that he must return only as far as he could pursue.

However, perhaps even Xu Tianci himself did not expect that the extent of his pursuit was actually expanded because of Chen Shen's superb acting skills.

And what Zheng Yuanyun didn't expect, nor did he dare to think about, was that the same time the rear city gate issued a warning, it was actually... the time for the city gate to break through.

He just sent troops to support at this moment, how could it be too late?

Zheng Yuanyun didn't understand this question, but from the actions of Ouyang Lixing's subordinates outside the city, his complexion became more and more ugly.

what did he see

He saw that Ouyang Lixing was actually withdrawing his troops!

If it was before, Zheng Yuanyun would be happy to see the opponent withdraw, which means that his defense is in place, and he will directly let the opponent give up and leave.

But right now, would Ouyang Lixing's withdrawal mean leaving?

Now that some city gates have already been breached, there is no need for Ouyang Lixing to continue to storm the gates that have not been breached. Why should Zhi lose his troops in vain?

Ouyang withdraws his troops strictly, there will only be one destination for him...
