Chen Xiao proposed this plan, and it was definitely not for nothing.
Killing directly to Qingshui River would be like dying in vain. Only by forcing Qingyuan Kingdom to return to defense could Su Ruirui and others be rescued.
"It's a good idea to attack in the east and west, but we don't have enough troops!"
General Lin believed that Chen Xiao's strategy was okay. With such a huge disparity in military strength, going to attack Huya City would undoubtedly be an egg against a stone.
There are still nearly 300,000 troops in Xifeng City, and it is impossible to mobilize them all, otherwise they will fall into an empty city.
The number of times Baiyun Kingdom has taken the initiative in recent years has been pitiful, and they have mostly been defensive.
General Wu and Yi Kang nodded, their military strength was not enough to support their plan.
Even if they attack the city to the death and force the 500,000 troops besieging Su Ruirui to retreat, there will be no time. In a few hours at most, Su Ruirui and the others will be trapped alive.
This time Su Ruirui led an army of 100,000 to Huya City. Who would have thought that the Qingyuan Kingdom did not follow any moral principles.
In previous exchange meetings, both sides had their own wins and losses, and they basically gave up the city happily.
But this time, Qingyuanguo fell out.
Chen Xiao beheaded Liu Hai, who was the nephew of the emperor of Qingyuan Kingdom.
He also beheaded several young prodigies of Qingyuan Kingdom, making the royal family of Qingyuan Kingdom extremely angry.
"We don't need too many troops to attack the city. Give me an army of 100,000 and I can attack Huya City."
Chen Xiao didn't want to get involved in military matters. The longer it was delayed, the more danger Su Ruirui would be in.
Chen Xiao didn't care about that much anymore. He would save the people first and then talk about the next things.
"It's impossible for a hundred thousand troops to attack the city."
General Wu and General Lin looked at each other and saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.
Even Marshal Su didn't have the ability to attack Huya City with an army of 100,000 people.
"Brother Chen, are you really sure?"
Yi Kang looked at Chen Xiao with a look of hope on his face. The team was getting closer to Qingshui River and they had to make a battle plan.
"Believe me!"
Chen Xiao gave him a reassuring look. Since he dared to say it, he must be absolutely sure.
Yi Kang was hesitant. If he succeeded and successfully rescued Marshal Su, everything would be fine.
Once he fails and loses 100,000 troops and impairs Commander Su, Chen Xiao will not be able to escape the blame and he will be executed according to military regulations.
Time passed by, and General Lin and General Wu did not speak, because they had no choice.
"Okay, I believe you. General Wu will lead an army of 50,000 to Qingshui River. Just pretend to attack and buy opportunities for Marshal Su. General Lin and I will lead ten armies to attack Huya City."
Yi Kang was very decisive. He pondered for about a minute and made an immediate decision.
"Yi Shuai, no!"
The two generals stopped him, saying that it was too dangerous. The commander-in-chief might not have been able to save him, and the 100,000-strong army would have been sent in in vain.
"I have made up my mind. If any problems arise, I will be responsible for them alone."
Yi Kang said decisively, asking the two of them to take action immediately. This is a military order.
At this point, the two generals had no choice but to agree. If the military situation was delayed, they could not afford it.
The army gradually separated, 50,000 troops rushed towards Qingshui River, and the remaining 100,000 troops went straight to Huya City.
"Brother Chen, what should we do next?"
Although Yi Kang agreed to Chen Xiao, he had no clue about the battle plan and Chen Xiao was still needed to execute it.
"From now on, divide the 100,000 soldiers into three groups. Each of the three of us will lead one group. Now I will teach you the formation method."
Chen Xiao learned formation knowledge from senior Lei Banruo. In addition to small formations, there were also formations for marching and fighting.
Once this kind of battle formation is deployed, it is so powerful that it can train a team of thousands of people into killing machines.
Chen Xiao immediately compiled a simple attack formation, formed seals with his hands, and turned into two light spots, entering the soul sea of General Lin and Yi Kang.
Teach them simple battle formation techniques, mainly how to cooperate with yourself.
The core area of the war is still controlled by Chen Xiaolai and belongs to the formation eye.
Whether attacking or assisting in defense, Chen Xiao has a heavy task.
Time was urgent, so the two of them immediately sat down cross-legged to digest the battle formation method in the sea of souls.
Getting closer and closer to Huya City, the defenders of Huya City have discovered their team and are gathering an army to prepare for the attack.
The strange thing is that Huya City did not send troops to fight, but acted as if it were defending the city.
Logically speaking, if a hundred thousand troops came to attack the city, Huya City could send out three hundred thousand troops to fight on the plains. They had all the advantages of the right time, place, and people.
After the tea time passed, Yi Kang and General Lin opened their eyes, their eyes full of excitement.
"I didn't expect that the war could be fought like this. With this battle formation, even if we can't capture Huya City and force them to return for reinforcements, there is still hope."
General Lin cast an admiring look at Chen Xiao.
At such a young age, he is extremely talented in martial arts and won the championship in the exchange meeting.
I didn't expect that he would be much better at leading troops in battle than veterans like them.
A hint of shock flashed in Yi Kang's eyes. Once this battle formation is used on the Su family's army, wouldn't it be invincible?
"Now our troops are divided into three groups. Yi Kang leads the group and is responsible for attacking the south wall of Huya City. If the opponent throws fire oil or rolls rocks, they will immediately change their formation."
Chen Xiao seemed to have the air of a general, so he asked Yikang to take the lead.
"Got the order!"
Yikang left the carriage and led more than 30,000 infantrymen straight to the southern wall of Huya City.
"General Lin leads 30,000 soldiers to attack the gate of Huya City. Each man must hold a shield."
Chen Xiao continued to make arrangements.
After receiving the order, General Lin also left with more than 30,000 soldiers, all holding shields, and rushed towards the gate of Huya City.
Chen Xiao left the carriage and led the remaining 30,000 light cavalry troops, mostly archers.
Chen Xiao had learned about the crossbows of the Su family army, and they were very powerful. That day, he used the crossbows to hunt and kill many people in the royal family.
The battle started instantly, and the 30,000 troops led by Yi Kang had already reached the southern city wall.
The 30,000 men were divided into three groups of 10,000 men each. The attacks were orderly and the footwork was exactly the same.
Just as Chen Xiao expected, a large amount of kerosene and rolling wood fell from the sky.
Yi Kang stood among the crowd, holding the command flag in both hands.
Continuously making flags, the ten thousand soldiers who attacked first were in order, and they were connected one by one, as if they were swinging, easily avoiding the kerosene and rolling logs.
The soldiers of the Qingyuan Kingdom standing on the city wall looked confused. Is there such a way to fight?
then!
The more than 30,000 soldiers led by General Lin were divided into five groups of 6,000 men each according to Chen Xiao's request.
Combine all the shields to form a pendant-shaped battle formation, and rush directly to the gate of Huya City.
"boom!"
A deafening sound appeared, and a crack appeared in the gate of Huya City.
This is the power of the battle formation, which can hit thousands of people to a single point.
In the past, when fighting and storming the city, at most a few hundred people would hold large logs and charge.
It's different now. Through the blessing of the formation, the power is integrated.
The soldiers of the Qingyuan Kingdom who were guarding behind the gate of Huya City were directly thrown away, and those who fell fell onto their backs.
"Shoot the arrow quickly!"
The general guarding the city ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.
At the moment when the soldiers on the city wall stood up, Chen Xiao appeared with more than 30,000 archers.
Target them quickly.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
At the moment when the Huya City defenders had not fired their arrows, they were all hit by crossbows.
Time!
There were cries and cries on the city wall. Those soldiers who were shot by arrows could not die for a while and could only mourn.
There were too many defenders, and Chen Xiao only had more than 30,000 troops at his disposal, and not all of them were equipped with crossbows.
There were also many arrows shooting at General Lin and the others.
"Array up!"
General Lin shouted loudly, and raised all the shields above his head, like a natural defense shield, blocking the arrows.
They had done this before, but it was too scattered and the other party could take advantage of it.
It's different now. Through the practice of formations, more than 30,000 people are concentrated together, their advance and retreat are well-founded, and their offense and defense can be switched at will.
The first wave of soldiers who rushed to the city quickly retreated and took a defensive posture. The second group quickly stepped forward, one after another, not giving Qingyuan Kingdom a chance to breathe.
It was similar on Yikang's side. After the first group came down, there were very few casualties. The second group came forward faster than the first wave.
Before the opponent's fire oil fell, it had climbed to the halfway position.
The first echelon was lagging behind some distance.
"Team 3, cover!"
Yi Kang roared angrily, and the third echelon quickly set up a catapult. A large number of stones were thrown at the city wall, buying time for the two echelons.
Every step was calculated to perfection, but Chen Xiao's team was the only one that had not made any move yet.
