Chapter 88
Zhang Fei snorted in dissatisfaction, clasped his fists towards Liu Xian and said, "Brother, let me charge again! This time I will break his stone artillery position! If I can't succeed, brother will take off my cannon."
Blackheads!”
At this moment, a roaring sound like rolling thunder came from the air again, followed by a loud banging sound!
Liu Xian and others couldn't help but look towards the city wall, and saw some brick fragments falling from the wall not far from the city gate tower, and an inconspicuous crack appeared in their field of vision.
Everyone couldn't help but feel horrified, Zhang Fei shouted: "What a guy! The bombardment only lasted for a long time, and the city wall actually cracked!"
He turned to Liu Xian and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, let me charge again! If we let them continue like this, the city wall will be blown down in a short time!"
Liu Xian looked at Chen Gong with hesitation on his face.
Chen Gongdao: "The opponent is well prepared. If we charge again, we will lose our precious troops in vain, and there will be no better results!"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "Are we just going to sit back and wait for death? This is simply unreasonable!"
Chen Gong said to Liu Xian: "My lord, my subordinate just observed the opponent's arrangement."
"Although the opponent responded quickly, they obviously did not pay enough attention to the weak frontal defense. They must have thought that we did not dare to attack from the front..."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately shouted: "Then I will lead my army to attack from the front!"
Chen Gong shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible to attack like this. When the other party sees our army attacking head-on, they have enough time to take countermeasures..."
Zhang Fei suddenly became angry and shouted: "What do you mean by this guy? You yourself said that there is a chance to face the situation, why do you say it's not possible now?"
Liu Xian said angrily: "Yide, why are you so anxious? Let the public talk about it finish!"
Zhang Fei closed his mouth and stared at Chen Gong angrily.
Chen Gong said to Liu Xian: "For the current plan, perhaps this is the only feasible method. Let General Yide lead the cavalry to attack from the flank to attract the opponent's attention, and then the lord will lead another group of cavalry to attack head-on!"
When Liu Xian heard this, his eyes lit up and he praised: "Sound in the east and attack in the west! What a good strategy!"
Chen Gongdao: "If Zhang Yang is a truly famous general, then this strategy may not be successful, otherwise it should be successful in one battle!"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Xian.
Liu Xian said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, immediately lead the cavalry out of the city from the east gate and attack the opponent's flank."
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, got on his horse and called his men to ride towards the east gate.
Liu Xian immediately gathered the remaining five hundred cavalry at the city gate. After Zhang Fei attracted the opponent's attention, he opened the door and launched a surprise attack.
At this moment, the roaring boulders fell again, making the entire city wall seem to be crumbling, and more cracks appeared.
Liu Xian was shocked. He had never imagined that ancient siege equipment could cause such serious damage to the city wall.
Not long after, nearly a thousand cavalry led by Zhang Fei appeared on the flank of Zhang Yang's army again and launched a charge.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang smiled coldly and said jokingly: "You are such a bastard, you dare to come here to die!"
With a wave of his hand, the cavalry attacked and the infantry moved into formation. Everything went on as before.
The cavalry led by Zhang Fei suddenly made a turn and bypassed the opponent's cavalry attack and rushed past the opponent's cavalry. The opponent's cavalry did not expect that Zhang Fei and the others would do this. They were unable to react for a moment and had no time to stop them.
Zhang Yang was startled when he saw this scene, and then sneered: "What's the use of this? Do you think you can break through our infantry's defense line like this?"
At this time, Zhang Yangjun's infantry had already formed a line and was just waiting for Zhang Fei's cavalry to go and die.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed into the formation, but were shot down by the opponent's arrows.
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry group, led by Zhang Fei, fiercely attacked the opponent's solid defense line composed of raised shields and spears!
Like a stormy wave crashing onto the shore, the impact is astonishing!
However, such a ferocious impact could not shake the shield wall composed of the opponent's shields. Instead, he was stabbed to death by the spears that were continuously thrust out from behind the shield wall. The scene was a tragic scene!
Zhang Yang burst out laughing, slapping his riding crop triumphantly and saying, "You are such a fool! You are just moths chasing a flame and are of no use!"
However, before he finished speaking, a general next to him suddenly pointed at the city gate in front of him and shouted: "Look, my lord!"
Zhang Yang turned his head and looked towards the city gate, and was shocked to see the city gate wide open, and Liu Xian himself led five hundred cavalry to rush out of the city!
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, then understood and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Stop them!"
A general immediately led two thousand cavalry out of the military formation to meet the five hundred cavalry led by Liu Xian.
Liu Xian galloped on his horse, surrounded by five hundred war horses running at full speed.
Seeing the opponent's cavalry charging towards him, Liu Xian raised his Yun Lei Dao and shouted sternly: "Throw the spear!"
The five hundred war horsemen pulled out their spears in a neat movement, and suddenly threw the spears at the speed of the high-speed running of the war horses!
The opponent's cavalry was rushing towards them. They were caught off guard and were knocked off their backs, causing chaos in the attacking formation.
Liu Xian took the opportunity and led five hundred cavalry to rush into the middle of the enemy army. Everyone moved forward bravely, like a sharp knife, piercing through the opponent in an instant!
The opponent's cavalry reacted and hurriedly turned their horses' heads to catch up.
Liu Xian led the cavalry and rushed to the stone artillery position in the blink of an eye. Thousands of Zhang Yangjun's infantry were rushing up to prepare for formation.
However, Liu Xian's 500 cavalry suddenly rushed in. In an instant, they were trampled with iron hooves and slashed with swords and guns. Thousands of infantry were killed until their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they were instantly defeated.
The five hundred cavalrymen took advantage of the situation and captured the stone cannon cart position, ignited the kerosene tanks that had been prepared and smashed them against the huge stone cannon carts one by one.
Fires surged up one after another, and the stone artillery carts turned into huge fires, burning blazingly.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Liu Xian immediately led his cavalry to break out from the surrounding enemy troops.
Zhang Yang was anxious and angry, roaring again and again.
However, his troops were always a step behind his opponent, and Liu Xian seized the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement from the junction of the two enemy armies.
Unwilling to give up, Zhang Yangjun pursued him.
Liu Xian led the cavalry and rushed into the city gate.
Zhang Yang's army pursued them straight to the city gate, when a dense rain of arrows rained down from the city wall, causing Zhang Yang's officers and soldiers to stagger and had to retreat in a hurry.
Liu Xian returned to the city and saw Chen Gong. He smiled excitedly and said, "Gongtai's judgment was indeed correct. The battle was a success!"
However, Chen Gong showed a bit of luck and said: "It's also because my lord went into battle in person and all the soldiers were elite and brave! If it were another army, I'm afraid it would be difficult to succeed!"
Liu Xian jumped off his horse, and his own soldiers came forward to hold the horse's reins.
At this time, an officer staying on the city wall suddenly stuck his head out and shouted: "My lord, General Yide has entered the east gate!"
Liu Xian felt relieved.
