Chapter 1078 Ye Hen wins Changge and returns home (4)
"Huh?" Chang Fan narrowed his eyes, "The tens of thousands of troops who retreated only a quarter of an hour ago disappeared like this?"

Xiao Bing replied: "There is indeed no one in the city."

The lieutenant quickly dissuaded him upon hearing the words, "Sir, in order to prevent fraud, I suggest that we withdraw our troops first."

Chang Fan was not convinced, "This group of ignorant children ruined such a big camp like mine, and if they don't let them suffer, how could I just go back empty-handed?"

After finishing speaking, Chang Fan ordered, "The archers are ready to light fire and shoot arrows. Since they like hide-and-seek, the general will let them all be buried in a sea of ​​flames!"

The archers took turns to go into battle, drawing their bows fully. Before the first round was fired, the sound of triggering the bow suddenly came from the seven-foot-high city wall, and only the satisfied eyes of the soldiers hiding behind them could be seen in the gaps between the battlements.

Chain crossbow.

From the imperial capital city to the northern border, Ye Hen asked Pei Jin to make a sophisticated weapon day and night, firing six arrows at a time, with a long range and a high hit rate.

In an instant, the chain crossbow was launched, and the feather arrows with blue-gray spiral heads came overwhelmingly. When they pierced the flesh after tearing the silk, due to the effect of the spiral pattern, it was equivalent to shooting the wound with three or four ordinary bows and arrows. The pain was the same as that of ordinary bows and arrows. Countless howls erupted from the Xiling army, and the soldiers who had set up ladders to climb the city wall were blasted down by rounds of feathered arrows.

The gates of the city were still wide open, but the Xiling army could not get close enough to enter the city.

The archers on the city wall took turns to go into battle, and the feather arrows were fast and accurate.

The archers of Xiling were weak in front of the crossbow, like a seriously ill sheep.

The Xiling Army's morale was in turmoil, and the lieutenant-general watched the soldiers gradually fall, so he hurried forward, "General, retreat quickly! If we continue to fight, our entire army will be wiped out!"

Chang Fan remained unmoved, and stared straight at the city wall that was close at hand with his eyes reflecting the blazing fire, "We have only one choice now, and that is to attack the city, otherwise we will not even have food when we withdraw our troops back now!"

The city gate is wide open, and the aroma of roasted lamb and hot pot can be heard faintly.

For the Xiling Army who had been fighting for several hours, had no way out, and had no dinner, this scent at this moment was no different from a great temptation.

This time, without waiting for Chang Fan to speak, the Black Armored Army rushed towards the city wall as if they were going crazy, just to have a sip of water and a bite of food, and completely messed up the formation. to commit suicide.

Batch after batch of black armor troops fell.

Chang Fan started to panic and shouted, "Retreat!"

But because the order was not given in time, more than half of the Black Armored Army had rushed under the city wall, and it was too late to retreat.

The war horses roared fiercely, and the broken limbs and broken arms piled up like a mountain. The Xiling Heijia soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards the city wall one after another.

At this moment, the Tiger's Might Army and the Black Banner Army who were full of food and drink in the city rushed out like a storm.

The Xiling army was exhausted, while Daliang's army had just had enough food and drink, and the situation was urgent.

Changfan turned his horse's head and shouted at the cavalry behind: "Withdraw!" After saying that, he broke through the encirclement and ran towards the burned barracks. Seeing that the general had left, the black armored army followed suit .

Ye Ranyi looked at Chang Fan who had gone away, and asked Ye Hen, "Uncle Wang, do you want to chase after him?"

"Chasing!" Ye Hen nodded, "Their camp was destroyed, and more than half of the army was killed or injured. At least they had to escape to Meicheng to join the army. In other words, in today's battle, we can take back at least three cities."

After Ye Hen finished speaking, he immediately got on his horse and waved to Ye Ranyi, "You stay here to defend the city, and I will personally lead the troops to chase after him."
