The goalkeeper was shot in the left shoulder. Although he was protected by armor, he was still penetrated by the arrow and was bleeding profusely.
The goalkeeper broke the arrow in half, held a long-handled ax, stared at Ning Hu and roared: "Enemy general, do you dare to fight me?!"
Ning Hu ignored him.
The goalkeeper just wanted to fight to the death. Even though Ning Hu was quite confident in his martial arts, he did not give the defender a chance. First of all, this battle must be fought quickly, and there must be no sloppiness. Otherwise, whether the cavalry returns to defense or the defenders calm down, it will be enough for the Tianji Camp guards to drink a pot!
Besides...
The gatekeeper was holding a long-handled axe, so he must have extraordinary physical strength. The armor on Ning Hu's body, facing the long-handled axe with amazing armor-breaking ability, would lose half of his life even if he was hit by it.
On the battlefield, there is no room for childishness!
Seeing that Ning Hu did not dare to fight, the goalkeeper shouted loudly: "You and other Liang soldiers are all rats!"
Just after he finished cursing, another round of arrows struck, and the goalkeeper was shot dead on the spot.
Even the goalkeeper was dead, and the surrounding defenders were in chaos. There were only a handful of defenders who actually attacked the Tianji Camp guards. The vast majority of the soldiers were hiding behind or simply fled. Even if the camp was captured and the sky fell, it would not be able to suppress the big soldiers like them.
At this moment, the guards from the Tianji Camp behind the camp also came to kill them.
Although there were only three hundred guards, due to the chaotic situation and the fact that the defenders were under attack, it was impossible to tell how many enemy troops there were.
I don't know who shouted: "We are outnumbered and we can't defeat them."
This howl became the straw that broke the camel's back. It spread from one to ten and then to a hundred, and the defenders in the camp instantly collapsed like birds and beasts.
Ning Hu led the Tianji camp guards to march straight in and set fire to the granary.
The food stored in this camp alone is enough to feed the 50,000 troops on the front line for ten days.
In addition to food and grass, there is also a large amount of baggage in the camp.
The dazzling fire can be seen throughout the war zone.
"withdraw!"
After confirming that the fire was already burning, Ning Hu made a prompt decision and quickly withdrew from the battle with the Tianji Battalion guards, fleeing into the dark distance.
Chen Si, who was located in the frontline camp, looked at the light in the rear with extremely solemn eyes: "The rear is finally on fire! Only the guards of the Tianji Battalion can penetrate into the rear despite the layers of obstacles from the frontline army and Night Owl scouts."
The deputy general next to him had experienced the power of the Tianji Camp guards several times and quickly suggested: "General, you should immediately send troops and horses to encircle and suppress!"
Chen Si waved his hand, his expression looking a little weak: "No need, pass my order, inform all camps, and guard tightly to avoid being plotted by the Tianji Camp guards again. In addition, check how much baggage has been lost so that you can make plans in advance."
The deputy general took the order and left, but Chen Si sighed secretly.
The Tianji camp guards had a headache.
Although there are only 300 people, their combat power is extremely powerful. It can be said that it is the pinnacle of infantry. Only cavalry can restrain it. However, if a small group of cavalry is sent, it is very likely to be counterattacked by the guards of Tianji Battalion. However, if a large group of cavalry is mobilized, it will not be possible. Reality. Now that the war on the front line is tense, how can there be any spare energy to encircle and suppress the guards of the Tianji Battalion?
Now for the army, the most important thing is food and grass. Any loss of food and grass will have a serious impact on the frontline war.
Chen Si must respond to the sneak attack by the Tianji Camp guards.
He immediately left several trustworthy lieutenants to guard the border to guard against surprise attacks by the Beixi County defenders, while he rushed to the forward camp.
Before dawn, Chen Si had arrived at the forward battlefield.
Back and forth, the siege army has invested more than 70,000 people, and the casualties have exceeded 10,000. The entire forward camp has been filled with wounded, but the important border army town is still standing. Since entering the camp, Chen Si has repeatedly heard comments from people below that it is no longer realistic to capture the important border town.
He will never tolerate those who shake the morale of the army. Chen Si almost fought his way into the commander's tent.
Chen Si was originally an old subordinate of the vanguard commander, but now he has been promoted, and his official position has surpassed that of the vanguard commander. However, when the old master and servant met, Chen Si was still in awe. Since he had one arm and could not clasp his fist, he held his chest with one hand. The leader of the charge saluted.
"Old General, Chen Si is here."
The forward commander was not shy about Chen Si's official position. He quickly went up to straighten Chen Si's body and said with emotion: "Chen Si, you were once my right-hand man. Now that I have appointed you as the special envoy to supervise the war, you have made the best use of your resources. You and I are old Master and servant, there is no need to be polite, just tell me what you have planned."
Having said this, Chen Si naturally no longer hesitated and quickly asked about the progress of the siege.
Later, I learned from the forward commander that although the important border town had not been conquered so far, it was not without progress. Yesterday's attack had almost reached the city, and the city walls and gates had been breached. However, due to too many troops stationed in the city, the siege army was forced back.
"It seems that the Liang Kingdom's frontier army has reached the end of its strength. At present, as long as it continues to block the reinforcements of the Hussar General and prepares for the raids of the Cavalry and Beixi County, it is a sure thing to capture the frontier army. However, the rear camp was attacked and a lot of losses were lost. We are short of food and need to launch an all-out attack on the border troops."
"Capturing the frontier army's camp is a decisive victory. Even if it cannot be captured, it will consume the remaining potential of the frontier army."
The forward commander was thoughtful.
After a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Today, the morale of the army is not as good as before. If we attack now, we will inevitably suffer a lot of losses. Since we are the siege party, facing such a tragic attack, we have to pay several times the enemy's casualties. .At that time, the morale of our army may face a test."
Chen Si understood the commander's worries. The current siege battle was already extremely fierce. Continuing to strengthen the offensive would not only be a test for the Liang Kingdom's border troops, but also a test for Dadi's soldiers.
But besides accelerating the pace of the war, Chen Si had no choice.
"Our army's food and grass can only be maintained until the end of the month, and the full fight will count for twenty days! If we can't defeat the enemy, we must attack the Liangguo grain fields as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Seeing Chen Si's firm attitude, the forward commander hesitated and decided to adopt Chen Si's suggestion.
After all, in terms of military attainments, the vanguard commander knew very well that Chen Si was many times better than him.
From the beginning of the war to the present day, Chen Si led only a small number of soldiers and horses, and he continuously repelled several attacks by the defenders of Beixi County, consolidating the defense on the eastern front, so that the army could attack the Liang Kingdom's border troops with confidence.
Based on this alone, no one can compare with Chen Si.
Since Chen Si wants to speed up the progress of the war, it means that the situation is already quite serious.
As the forward commander issued the order, the army gathered again, and at noon the next day, launched another fierce attack on the important border town.
…
Beixi County is crowded.
Since Li Zhang's three defeats in three battles, the defenders have not taken any action. Even though everyone from the Qin family has calmed down the troops, their morale is still extremely low.
But today, everyone is in high spirits!
Just because the real master of Beixi County, Qin Feng, is about to arrive!
