Chapter 2190 Night Attack on Wuguan (5)
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Chi chi chi~"
"Ahhhh~"
"Be careful to avoid the rain of arrows and find a hiding place!"
There was chaos at the gate of the city. The Liang army rained arrows one after another, making the Yan army unable to raise its head. Even if you wanted to get up close and fight, you would not know where the Liang army was hiding.
After a while, the arrow rain finally stopped, and thick blood floated in the air.
In the blink of an eye, there were many more corpses on the streets that were empty just now. There were also some wounded soldiers lying in a pool of blood and wailing. No one dared to come forward to rescue them.
"Hoo ho ho!"
There were shouts of killing inside and outside the city, but Mu Yunwu and Square-faced General Yan had no time to care about the fighting situation elsewhere, because an infantry formation appeared directly in front of them, with their fangs exposed.
Huge long shields stood at the front, their narrow blades filled with cold light and murderous intent.
Mu Yunwu murmured with a ferocious expression:
"This is, this is Mo Daojun~"
The faces of Mu Yunwu and the square-faced cavalry commander turned completely dark. They had heard the name of Modao Army for a long time, but hadn't this army been in Liaodong all along? When did it move to Wuguan City?
Their sneak attack was fully prepared today. Did they just fall into Liang Jun's trap?
If ordinary infantry surrounded them, they could handle it, but the Modao army would be really difficult to deal with.
As soon as Mo Dao came out, both men and horses were shattered!
"Get into formation!"
"Ouch!"
"defense!"
"boom!"
The sight of numerous shields and long swords made the soldiers of Yan Army shudder. Many of them swallowed subconsciously and moved their steps backward unconsciously.
In order to attack the city, the dead soldier battalion went into battle lightly and only carried short swords. How could they break through the formation of heavily armored infantry?
The Modao Army's military formation completely sealed the streets and blocked the Yan Army's path forward. Behind the Yan Army was the Wuguan City Wall, which was indestructible.
In other words, the Yan army entering the city had no other way out except to defeat the Modao army head-on.
There was a trace of fear on the faces of many soldiers, and many of them had never seen such a battle before.
It turns out that Mo Daojun’s true appearance is so terrifying~
Li Siye, who was wearing armor, stood with a sword in hand and personally led the army to meet the enemy. In his eyes, the sparse Yan army in front of him was a lamb to be slaughtered, and was by no means an enemy of Mo Dao's army.
If in an open field, the cavalry could still rely on its speed to collide head-on with the formation, not to mention breaking the formation, at least it would cause some trouble for the Modao Army.
But now in this narrow street, how do you charge?
The shield wall is in front, and the long sword is at the back, layer by layer. Although this formation is simple, it is very practical.
Relying on this formation, Modao Army once frightened the Yan Army and Beijin Army in Liaodong and caused rivers of blood to flow.
After the heavy armor battalion, Mo Dao ranks first!
In an archery tower near the battlefield, the figures of Chen Yue, Xue Tian and other generals floated out, looking at the battlefield with interest.
The first battle of the Modao Army entering the city will be a hearty siege and annihilation battle.
In fact, Chen Yue did not know in advance that the Yan army was going to attack Wuguan at night. According to his idea, he would show weakness in the battle to defend the city, and then feign defeat and retreat during the day, attracting the Yan army to enter the city, and finally eat up the Yan army's effective strength.
Who would have thought that Mu Yun Duankang and Baili Shen on the opposite side would be so clever as to attack Wuguan at night, so they might as well use their plan to lure the Yan army into the city.
Chen Yue made a decisive decision and ordered the defenders to withdraw the Yan troops into the city. Then he tightened his pockets and turned all the Yan troops who entered the city into turtles in a jar.
Xue Tian, who was still a little pale, murmured:
"A few infantry and a few cavalry. Although they are not big pieces of meat, they are still worthy of Mo Dao's army."
"Haha, Li Siye is so lucky. He caught up with a big battle right after he arrived."
"Who made him complain all day long that Modao Army has no chance to fight? No, let him fight today."
"Haha~"
Several generals chuckled. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Red Flame Army were all resting in the city and had no plans to go out. They were just spectators in this battle.
But a few people still had a trace of fear in their hearts. If Modao Army had not stationed in Wuguan two days ago, Yan Army's night attack might really cause trouble this time.
"The army attacks the city!"
"Kill!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The Yan army's offensive outside the city became more and more fierce, and the shouts of killing could be heard clearly in the ears of every general.
Xue Meng glanced at the location of the city wall and said softly: "It seems that the prince realized something was wrong and was thinking of breaking into the city to save people."
Chen Yue asked calmly: "What's going on with Ye Xiaoxiao and Chi Ji? Can they withstand it?"
In fact, the infantry at the top of the city were all feigning defeat. There were always a large number of infantry hidden in the turrets of the archery tower. As soon as the iron gate fell, Ye Xiaoxiao and Chi Ji began to lead their troops to counterattack.
Since the Yan army's attention was focused on the city gate at this time, the soldiers who stayed on top of the city were easily annihilated by the Liang army. Now the city defense was back in the hands of the Liang army.
Xue Tian said in a deep voice:
"Ye Xiaoxiao and Chi Ji said that as long as they are here, there is no chance that a Yan army will cross the city defense. Please don't worry, Your Majesty!"
"Very good!" Chen Yue nodded slightly:
"Then let us appreciate how Mo Daojun kills enemies~"
…
The scattered Yan troops gradually gathered together, and reluctantly set up a large formation in the streets and open spaces. The infantry were in the center, and the cavalry was outside, alert to the movements of the Liang troops around them.
Mu Yunwu, who was hit by an arrow, didn't look very good. His eyes were rolling, and he kept thinking about countermeasures.
The square-faced knight said coldly:
"General Mu Yun, you are very clever, what should we do now?"
Judging from the official rank, Mu Yunwu's status is higher than him, but at the moment, the cavalry should be the main force in breaking the formation.
Mu Yunwu turned around and glanced at the city wall where the shouts of killing were shaking, and said coldly:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never abandon us. The only solution for now is to fight."
"How to fight?"
Mu Yunwu weighed the scimitar in his hand:
"Mo Dao's army is all equipped with long swords, and my infantry is by no means their enemy. We can only leave the matter of breaking the formation to the general.
I will lead the battalion of dead soldiers to counterattack the city wall, and cooperate with the army outside the city. As long as we take down the city defense, we will win!
The general does not need to completely defeat Mo Dao's army, he only needs to drag reinforcements into the city.
how?"
Mu Yunwu's strategy was very simple. The cavalry rushed into the formation, the infantry counterattacked the city gate, and the troops were divided into two groups to delay the attack.
"The general's words make sense, that's all."
"Huh~"
Mu Yunwu let out a sigh of relief and said: "Mo Dao's army is victorious in every battle. They are the best infantry. General, can you dare to fight?"
The square-faced cavalryman looked sharp and raised his spear lightly:
"We used to say that Shuozhou Heavy Armor Battalion was powerful, wasn't it also annihilated by our Dayan?
Today I don’t believe in this evil, but I want to see what’s so special about the famous Modao Army in Liaodong!”
"Haha!" Mu Yunwu looked up to the sky and laughed:
"The general is mighty! Then let us fight side by side!"
"The entire army is arrayed and ready to fight!"
