Before Meng Shixiong could send someone to see the situation of his troops, he saw chaos on the outside again. Soon, a sergeant stumbled over and said, "Report to the general, many brothers have been poisoned!"
"What's going on?" Meng Shixiong signaled his men to surround Zong Yingwei, and he hurriedly walked to the sergeant who reported the news.
"I don't know what happened. Just now they all suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell down. The doctor said they were poisoned!"
"Whose subordinates? How many people are there?"
"About one or two thousand people, all under General Deng!"
"Deng Shui, a man who can kill a thousand swords, I have to kill him!" Meng Shixiong cursed fiercely. He knew in his heart that it was too easy for Deng Shui, as a cavalry captain, to tamper with the food of his soldiers.
!
"General Meng, what should we do now?" the sergeant asked.
After realizing that now was not the time to pursue Deng Shui, Meng Shixiong hurriedly turned his head and said loudly: "Yishan, bring your men with you and be sure to capture the Beacon Tower! Quickly!"
"Yes!" Li Yishan quickly left the battle group.
While Zong Yingwei was dealing with the siege, he said: "It's useless, General Meng, it's too late now..."
At this moment, Tan Ma came to report that the enemy was already within ten miles.
"Bastard!" Meng Shixiong saw the hurriedly arriving doctor giving Yue Congshan first aid, and knew that he couldn't help. On the other side, the guards were fighting with Zong Yingwei, and they couldn't win for a while, so he couldn't help but think
I am anxious. As the saying goes, an inch is long.
One inch is strong, one inch is short, and one inch is dangerous. If weapons are an extension of the human hand, then bows and arrows are undoubtedly the longest extension. In the wars of the cold weapon era, bows and arrows were even called the king of a hundred weapons. In the Xuantian Continent,
In the army, infantry and cavalry are the two most common
of the arms, and whether infantry or cavalry, crossbowmen play an important role in them. Hearing that the cavalry archers were poisoned, Meng Shixiong felt heartbroken, and at the same time he was also frightened. Hailuo City held a sacrifice this time
grand ceremony, infantry master
If it is used to maintain order and stand guard, there are no crossbowmen, and the cavalry is used to protect the surroundings. There is a group of 2,000 crossbowmen, but they have all been knocked down by Deng Shui's poison. The cavalry on our side was originally
The troops are not enough, the most important thing is
The team you want has been destroyed, how can we fight now? Meng Shixiong was thinking quickly. Zong Yingwei said that Deng Shui was guarding the beacon tower. Deng Shui was very powerful. Even if Li Yishan sacrificed his life, it would be difficult to win him quickly.
The beacon tower. Unfortunately, the archers were all poisoned, and even lighting the beacon with rockets became impossible. I heard that there are still some among the rangers.
There are one or two who use bows and arrows, but all the rangers are far away from the beacon tower, and have long passed the effective range of bows and arrows. Call the rangers now, and then rush to the range of bows and arrows. In this time, the enemies will rush in front of you.
!Meng Shixiong glanced at Yue Congshan again
direction, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Let the adults go first! Lift the city lord onto the carriage! Wang Lin, Zhou Hao, you two each lead a cavalry, go around from both sides to intercept the enemy, the infantry slowly retreat to cover,
As for the others...let them retreat individually,
How much can be withdrawn..."
"Yes!" Several generals took the order and retreated.
Meng Shixiong secretly sighed in his heart. The battle between the two armies was at its peak. His order to retreat would soon turn into a rout, but there was really nothing he could do now...
…
Xia Yu saw the situation near the altar one by one through Xiao Hei. When Xiao Hei flew over, it was the moment when Yue Congshan was assassinated. Xia Yu immediately guessed that things had changed. I am afraid this battle will not be like the last one.
It started out so simple.
Sure enough, the news of the scattered retreat spread quickly, and everyone's expressions changed. Once they saw the chaos near the altar, the rangers suddenly became a little confused as well.
Fat Qiao frowned, glanced at Xia Yu subconsciously, and whispered: "What should we do? Shall we leave?"
Xia Yu pondered for a moment, pulled Qiao Xiaopang to a deserted place, and whispered a few words. Qiao Xiaopang nodded knowingly and turned sideways pretending to be casual, blocking the sight of others.
... Xuantian Continent has been at peace for a long time. Many people have never experienced war, let alone how to fight. Although there are troops in every city, they mostly act as police. Only those close to the Great Xia Dynasty
There are only occasional small-scale conflicts in the border areas where the army
It looked like an army. To be more specific, the Daxia Dynasty occasionally had conflicts with monsters or with the northern grassland tribes. But as the general leader of the grassland tribe alliance five hundred years ago shook hands with the representatives sent by Xia Capital,
Yanhe, there has been no war in the north so far, and the monsters don't cause much trouble, so the real
There are really not many people who have seen war. Hailuo Prefecture is just a place mainly focused on commerce. It has not seen war for thousands of years. In other words, the situation has gradually become unstable in the past 20 years, and the army has expanded a lot.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people here to even see an organized army. Now the rangers suddenly heard that thousands of soldiers had arrived in Yanlizhou.
The elite cavalry and the city lord on their side didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the situation was suddenly on the verge of getting out of control.
A ranger hesitated and said: "The city lord doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so we'd better run away! Didn't the superiors ask us to evacuate?"
"How can that be done? Isn't that just because we are afraid of the bastards in Yanlizhou?" Another ranger objected.
"Yeah, there's nothing you can do to make the bastards of Yanlizhou chase you away!" Another ranger said.
Just as these words were being said, some people were seen rushing out from under the altar in the distance, either on horseback or in carriages, running in a panic toward Hailuo City.
"Look, all those big shots are running away! What are we waiting for?" the ranger who spoke first said loudly.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then a rough voice sounded, "Don't compete with those eggless guys! If you want to run away, run away on your own, I can't afford to lose that person!"
Everyone was talking about it, some were ready to leave, and some wanted to stay and fight with the enemy. Those who led the horses led their horses, and those who drew their swords drew their swords. The scene suddenly became a mess.
"Sir, let's go too! There's a real war here, it's too dangerous, you can't stay here..." The men brought by Ji Baiyu also stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Ji Baiyu's face didn't look good either. This situation was something he hadn't expected at all. He looked at Zhao Xinru, hesitated, and said, "Junior Sister Zhao, this is too dangerous, why don't you guys leave first..."
"Ji, if you want to leave, just leave by yourself. Leave us alone! We won't leave!" Ye Qianmo was the first to say.
