On the day of the Beginning of Autumn, outside Yacheng City, 100,000 troops were arrayed, ready for war.
Duanmu Qingkong and Duanmu Feilong stood on the city wall.
Without any warning, the imperial dynasty's 100,000-strong army set up a battle formation outside Yacheng City, catching Duanmu, Qingkong and others in the city by surprise.
Duanmu Qingkong looked at Duanmu Feilong. Duanmu Feilong's face was pale, his condition was not very good, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
It felt like the spies he sent were all just decorations in front of the imperial army.
"We sent out ninety spies, but none of them reported back. Are they all just decorations?" Duanmu Qingkong said bitterly. .
"We currently have 200,000 troops and the other side has less than 100,000. What are we afraid of?" Duanmu Feilong said.
"How many troops did we have when we were in Luoshui, and how many troops did the other side have?" Duanmu Qingkong looked at him and asked.
Duanmu Feilong was stunned, looked at him and replied: "That's a child's carelessness, and they got into their hands. Isn't dad here now? Do we need to be afraid of them?" Duanmu Feilong said with a smile.
"Watch carefully. Since they are here, they will not give up easily. We have to calm down and find a way to win this battle, otherwise we have to return to Yashan."
Duanmu Qingkong sighed.
"It's mainly because I was careless and lost Luoshui City due to their scheme." Duanmu Feilong was in a bad mood.
"With mental arithmetic but no intention, no one can defend himself. Just find a way to fight back in the future." Duanmu Qingkong comforted Duanmu Feilong.
"Let's wait until Cai wins this battle." Duanmu Feilong shook his head.
...
Among the troops outside the city, Li Ye was discussing with Jiang Huo, Nalan Yu and others how to attack Yacheng.
"General Nalan, we are all outsiders. If you have any ideas, you can just say it. We can only win this battle." Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu and said.
"Then let me tell you my opinion. Not to mention losing this battle, we can't afford it if it takes too long. This war should be led by the Beihai army. If Yacheng cannot be captured quickly, we will have to wait for the enemy's troops to come. If we keep sending them out, we will be in big trouble.”
Nalan Yu looked at everyone and said.
"This is the truth, but now the opponent is fighting to the death. Let alone let's start a war. If they can't defend, it won't work at all. And there is a plain outside the city, and some tactics cannot be used."
Grand Marshal Jiang Huo also spoke.
"There will always be a way to solve it. It's just whether you find it or not. I'll take a look."
Li Ye said that Shou Zongma walked to the front of the formation.
Arriving in front of the military camp, Li Ye looked across and found that the other side's city wall still had many earthen walls for defense, while his own side was a wide plain.
Looking at the majestic tower of the other party, Li Ye took out the handkerchief, held it in his hand, and raised it. After taking a look at the direction in which the handkerchief was flying, Li Ye looked at Jiang Huo: "Will the wind direction change?"
"This season the wind blows from the southwest, and the wind blows north." Jiang Huo looked at Li Ye and said.
"Get ready for war! The other side doesn't have 200,000 elite soldiers, does it? How many of these 200,000 people can go back depends on their lives. Today I will take advantage of the southwest wind to start the war."
Li Ye looked at the towers of Yacheng and said coldly.
"Borrowing the wind to start a war?" Jiang Huo was a little confused.
Not only Generalissimo Jiang Huo, but also Nalanyu, Xiaobai, Wang Tianhua, and Xia Wutong didn't know what Li Ye meant.
"Yes, we are just taking advantage of the wind to start the war. I want them to enjoy it." Li Ye said.
"National Master, don't worry, all the brothers will fight with you!" Wu Tianhua was a little anxious and didn't know what Li Ye would do.
"The wind blows south and brings the fodder for the war horses. It is piled in front of the battle array, the fodder is set on fire, and then the wet fodder is covered with it, which will inevitably produce thick smoke... We will put some medicinal herbs in it. ...When the wind blew, and they couldn't see anything at that time, we used the siege ballista to knock down a wall...and then started killing."
Li Ye said coldly, thinking that God was really helping me.
Jiang Huo, Nalan Yu, Xiao Bai, Nalan Yu and others all looked at each other. They couldn't think of this method, but it was foreseeable that this tactic would definitely be effective.
"Jiang Shuai arranges it and execute it immediately." Li Ye looked at the people behind him and issued the order.
"Xiao Bai, you and the princess go find some herbs and..." Li Ye continued to give instructions.
"About smoking... put more dried chili peppers into the prepared medicine to enhance the power of the smoke, so that their noses and tears will come out together. When the smoke comes out, the siege vehicles of the heavy camp will attack first. ..."
In just a moment, Li Ye issued the order to fight.
After listening to Li Ye's words, Jiang Shuai directly took people to prepare.
Xiaobai followed Xia Wutong to prepare herbs and other things...
"General Wang, how long will it take you to complete the preparations for the attack?" Li Ye looked at Wang Tianhua and asked.
"Give me half an hour. After half an hour, as long as the imperial master gives the order, we will launch an attack!" Wang Tianhua looked at Li Ye and said.
"After we break the city, they will naturally retreat, but I don't want them to retreat safely. Brother Nalan, take the people and design some stumbling ropes and dig some traps on the only way they can retreat so that they cannot escape smoothly."
Li Ye said to Nalan Yu.
"Okay!" Nalan Yu also left, leaving only Jiang Shangyun and Chen Zirang around Li Ye.
"This time we will beat them so hard that they will no longer be able to fight back!"
Li Ye shook his head. He could foresee that when this battle started, it would be even more intense than the battle in Luoshui.
"Only by scaring them can we avoid future wars. This is the fundamental meaning of our war." Jiang Shangyun, standing behind Li Ye, said.
"I know that we can work together to finish this war for the future stability of the Five Regions Dynasty." Li Ye said quietly while looking at the two of them.
"Junior brother, don't bear the pressure. We are with you."
After finishing his work, Xia Wutong came over, looked at Li Ye and said.
She was worried that Li Ye was burdened with moral pressure and would develop inner demons when he ascended.
"One general's success will lead to ten thousand bones! Death on the battlefield is the fate of both sides." Li Ye said coldly, looking ahead.
...
Xiaobai arrived at Li Ye's side, and Xia Wutong stood behind him. At this time, billowing smoke was already burning in front of the formation, blowing from the south wind and drifting towards the wall of Yacheng.
"Wang Tianhua, order all the siege vehicles to fire three volleys to destroy their city walls. The other heavy soldiers are preparing to destroy the defenders outside the city."
Wang Tianhua's heavy slave camp was moved, and Jiang Huo also returned to the front of the formation, ready to command the army to charge at any time.
Seeing the wolf smoke billowing forward, it only took a quarter of an hour to cover the walls of Yacheng.
"Start the war!" Li Ye and Wang Tianhua gave the order.
With a rumble, Wang Tianhua's thousand siege carts fired out a thousand heavy-duty arrows.
"Jiang Shuai, let the army approach, stop when it reaches the shooting range, and attack with crossbows. After the second round of attacks by the Zhongjun camp, shoot directly at the defenders on the city wall. There are 80,000 people, and 80,000 crossbows are fired at one time."
Li Ye issued a battle order to Jiang Huo.
Just hearing the roaring sound of the siege vehicles making an attack, the two armies of the Five Regions Dynasty approached the city wall of Yacheng, and then the crossbows began to fire.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sergeants of the Beihai Army shouted loudly, but now they were unable to open their eyes due to the thick smoke.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Excluding those performing other tasks, there were more than 70,000 people in the imperial army. At this time, all the crossbows and arrows were flying towards the tower where the Beihai army was located.
The sound of the siege ballista's machine was heard, and a thousand crossbow arrows flew out.
A booming sound was heard, and a large gap was opened in the wall of Yacheng.
"Strike heavily with the soldiers, destroy the defenses outside the city! The soldiers are covered with rain of arrows, don't let them rush out!" Li Ye continued to give orders.
With the sound of crossbows and machine springs, the second attack was launched again.
When the walls of Yacheng collapsed once again, Li Ye gave the order again. "A rain of arrows covers the opponent's tower, covering the army's attack."
Li Ye's order was issued, and the signal soldier's flag was blown out. He wanted to take advantage of the opponent's chaos and take down Yacheng in one go.
The war horses neighed, and the Forbidden Army began to charge.
"Follow Xiaobai, let's fight in!" Li Ye struck the horse's belly with both legs, waved the Prajna Sword and started to charge.
Seeing Li Ye charging in person, Xiaobai and Xia Wutong led the charge, and Jiang Huo also issued a battle order.
The officers and soldiers of the Beihai Army were stunned by the thick smoke, and then they suffered from the rain of arrows. Before the battle started, they lost a lot of personnel.
The battle order of the imperial army was strict. The lancers charged, the crossbowmen covered them, and the lancers rushed to the cliff city tower, which was killing.
Rivers of blood are the portrayal of the soldiers of the Beihai Army at this time.
On top of the city tower, even the wily Duanmu Qingkong did not expect that the battle situation would turn out like this. Seeing the masked army of the imperial dynasty launching an attack on Yacheng, he looked at Duanmu Feilong and said, "God will destroy me."
"Island Master, we have suffered heavy losses in terms of men and horses, the city gate has been breached, and the imperial army has entered. We must retreat quickly."
A general rushed up and looked at the two of them and said.
"We have been plotted by the opponent Mi Yan... We cannot organize a large-scale counterattack, retreat!" Duanmu Qingkong gave the order.
Since we can't defend this city, we should retain our own strength.
The battle continued, and Li Ye, who was facing the general, swung his sword to kill the enemy. He wanted to resolve the situation as soon as possible, so he took action to kill him.
"Where there are many people, shoot with a handgun, and when there are few, just kill them directly!"
During the battle, Li Ye's orders continued to be issued.
Jiang Huo's men led people to set off smoke and watched as Li Ye, Xiao Bai and Xia Wutong rushed up to the tower and led a large group of people into Yacheng.
Li Ye and others were very fast. Everyone wore black masks wet with water on their faces. Like killers in the dark, they rushed towards the Beihai defenders on the city wall.
It was dark, but the fighting continued. Now it can no longer be called a fight, it should be a one-sided massacre.
The soldiers of the Beihai army continued to retreat, and the imperial army continued to charge.
As the soldiers of the Beihai Army retreated, Li Ye, Xiaobai, and Xia Wutong led their men in constant pursuit, killing their opponents in the pursuit.
When the soldiers of the Beihai Army retreated and encountered a trap area set up by Nalan Yu's men, they jumped on their backs and appeared again! Stumbling ropes and traps are fatal.
When Duanmu Qingkong led the men and horses through the obstacle area, only 150,000 of the 200,000 men and horses were left.
This situation made his face look as pale as frost. The 50,000 elite soldiers were the elite of the Beihai army, and their vitality was damaged at this moment. He could only leave in a hurry with the remaining 150,000 troops.
Who knows if there will be pursuers behind him?
Duanmu Qingkong, who was in the late stage of distraction, lost the opportunity before he could fight his opponent head-on.
Watching the opponent capture Yacheng, this battle was even more breathtaking than Duanmu Feilong's battle in Luozhi.
"Stop killing, just run after them!" Li Ye issued the battle order again.
Although Xiao Bai hesitated, he still conveyed Li Ye's order. Afterwards, Jiang Huo just led people to clean the battlefield and stopped chasing the opponent's deserters!
After a while, Nalanyu and a group of young practitioners from the dynasty came back. Li Yetai looked over and found that some of the practitioners still had wounds on them.
"National Master, why don't you pursue us? We can kill more of these people." Nalan Yu asked, which was also the question of Xia Wutong, Jiang Huo and others.
"Let them run back to Yashan City first and wait for us to come over and serve them." Li Ye said quietly.
