Chapter 457 The Battle of Panyang City

Dong dong dong

The sound of drums resounded all over the field, and a continuous army appeared outside Panyang City.

Looking at the solid city wall ahead and the countless archers, Ji Ling sneered.Along the way, they finally arrived here, and the speed of the soldiers would not give too much reaction time to the defenders in the city, lest Yuzhang County dispatch troops and generals to deploy their defenses calmly.

"General, are our troops setting up camp in the rear?"

"Why set up camp?"

"This?"

A general had a bitter look on his face.

Looking around at the robes around him, they all looked tired, so they spoke to Ji Ling.

"Our army gallops in the starry night. Although there are tens of thousands of people, they are all exhausted. Is it wrong to attack Panyang Lake?"

"How can this opportunity be missed?"

"Fighter?"

"Our army suddenly approached Panyang City, the defenders in the city must be panicked, and there are only three thousand soldiers in Yuzhang County, how many people can be stationed here?"

A general explained to his comrades beside him.

All of a sudden, the voice of discussion rang in Ji Ling's ears like a tidal wave.

"But our army is tired after all, and the enemy's army occupies the advantage of the city wall, so it is inappropriate to attack rashly."

"The rear is Panyang Lake. If our army stays here for too long, have you thought about the consequences?"

"This?"

A famous general fell into deep thought.

The general who had just spoken continued.

"What if the Yuzhang defenders enter Panyang Lake and fight our army in Huzhong?"

"So what if the soldiers come to Yuzhang County Mansion? The defenders' understanding of the terrain alone is enough to cut off our army's supplies. Unless we can capture Yuzhang County Mansion as quickly as possible, otherwise we will inevitably fall into The food shortage situation. Therefore, it is the best policy to attack now. Without giving Yuzhang time to react, we can directly cross Panyang Lake and hold Panyang City and Yuzhang Port in our hands. Only then can our army’s supplies be safe.”

"But have you ever thought about it, even if I wait to capture Panyang City and cross Panyang Lake, how much will be the loss? When the soldiers are exhausted and arrive outside Yuzhang Port, will they be able to capture it smoothly?"

Listening to the discussions of these generals, Ji Ling gradually made up his mind.Looking around at the city wall in front of him, he immediately issued a military order.

"The whole army is divided into two, five thousand soldiers and horses retreat ten li to set up camp, hurry up and repair"

"The remaining [-] soldiers stormed Panyang City"

"promise"

Listening to this military order, the eyes of the generals couldn't help but brighten up. The general deserves to be the general who made such a clever arrangement.Yuzhang had only three thousand soldiers left behind, scattered among the counties throughout the county, so not many were actually stationed in the city.Although our army is divided, it still has an overwhelming advantage.

Dong dong dong

The dense drums sounded again, and the entire army was divided into two, and the five thousand soldiers and horses galloped away in the same direction as they came and went under the leadership of their respective generals.

Although half of the troops were left, the enemies outside the city were still boundless, which brought great pressure to Pan Yangcheng.

"Whoever wants to do this will take down this Panyang City"

"The last general asks for orders"

"The last general asks for orders"

All the generals shouted loudly at Ji Ling who was in front of him.

Looking around the front, a ray of contempt gradually spread.Judging from the experience of fighting all the year round, the army strength in this city will never exceed [-], that is to say, there are only more than [-] troops. Although [-] soldiers and horses have been evacuated now, the remaining troops are still the number of soldiers and horses in the city. double.

"One thousand troops will be the basis to test the strength of this city"

"promise"

The eleven generals yelled at Ji Ling, and then drove their horses to run backwards.

Not long after, a phalanx of thousands of people strode forward at the same time in the direction of Panyang City.

"kill"

"kill"

The deafening shouts of killing rushed over like a tide.

Standing on the tower, Cheng Yu looked at Ji Ling's troops who suddenly divided his troops, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.I don't know whether this General Ji is lucky or not. The fish have already taken the bait, but he doesn't want half of them just wandering back and forth next to the hook, showing no signs of biting the bait.

Thinking quickly in his mind, the crossbowmen stationed on the city wall did not need Cheng Yu's orders, and they followed the steps that had been arranged to attack the front.A number of archers looked up at the sky at the same time, and then let go of the bowstring.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the rain of arrows roared like stars all over the sky.

Numerous damage values ​​appeared on the body, and wounds of various sizes appeared on an enemy soldier.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ji Ling's mouth, and a soldier behind him ran into the army without giving orders.

Not long after, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and all the soldiers standing behind gave way one after another.

Cheng Yu, who was on the tower, couldn't help but secretly became nervous. Looking at the changes behind Ji Ling with the help of the height of the tower, his heart seemed heavy.The siege engine, unexpectedly, Ji Ling's troops rushed all the way, and even brought the siege engine with them.The siege engine must not be allowed to rush under the city gate, so he shouted orders to the inside of the city.

"Where are the cavalry"

"exist"

"Attack immediately to destroy the siege engine"

"promise"

There was a hint of death in the eyes of the three hundred riders. Outside the city was the mighty and boundless five thousand enemy soldiers. If they went out at this time, they would definitely die.But the damage of the siege engine is too great, and it can only be dragged to the arrival of reinforcements by destroying it.

Thinking of the three hundred riders here, they urged their horses to gallop all the way towards the city gate.

boom

With a loud bang, the city gate opened wide, and the three hundred riders seemed to turn into a sharp arrow, and a huge damage value appeared on an enemy soldier who passed by.

There were worries and excitement in the eyes of the enemy soldiers, but as the cavalry got closer, all these emotions turned into a strong fighting spirit.

"Protecting Siege Engines"

"Protecting Siege Engines"

Noisy voices rang in my ears, and an enemy soldier almost guessed the target of the three hundred cavalry without any orders from the generals, and swarmed towards them.

Under the obstruction of these enemy soldiers, the speed became slower and slower, and his own momentum also plummeted.

"Arrow"

shhhhhh...

There was a roaring sound from the city wall, and a round of arrow rain roared towards the heads of the enemy soldiers.

As the rain of arrows fell, all the enemy soldiers showed a series of damage values, and the blood bars above their heads also changed accordingly.

Ji Ling seemed to have noticed something, and gave instructions to the generals around him.

"Send the order, the cavalry on the left and right flanks attack"

"promise"

All the generals shouted violently at the same time, and then more than ten generals walked over to the left and right sides.

Immediately afterwards, there was the thunderous sound of horseshoes, and two thousand cavalrymen rushed to the place of battle.

Seeing this, the momentum of the enemy soldiers who were charging rose instantly, while the three hundred cavalry who were trapped in the siege showed the opposite situation, and their morale gradually became depressed.As the shouts of killing got closer and closer, casualties gradually appeared, and one after another fell into a pool of blood.The task of destroying the siege engine also failed with their deaths.
