Not knowing the situation of entering the city, Zuo Shiren walked down from the high hill and thought that this time the attack on the city was already a sure thing.
The vast Dongling army, after breaking through the city gate, crazily merged into Liancheng. Under the general situation, every Dongling soldier's face was full of ecstasy.
Once the military exploits are obtained, when there is no need to hunt down the remaining evildoers, one can still collect some money.
"Kill, kill into Liancheng!"
"Roar!"
More and more soldiers stepped across the moat, stepped through the two collapsed gates, and rushed forward with roars.
"Ambush, there is an ambush!"
Among the soldiers who rushed to the front, someone finally shouted loudly.
Even though he was at the end, Zuo Shiren could clearly hear the shouting voice. He frowned and hurriedly climbed up to the nearest high ground.
Just one look and the whole person was stunned on the spot.
"Lord, this is the cavalry army! The Demon Queen has hidden the cavalry camp behind Liancheng!" Zuo Shixin's voice suddenly became trembling due to excitement.
Zuo Shiren's face was also filled with shock. In front of us, at first glance, there were at least thirty to forty thousand light cavalry in the phalanxes one after another.
"Located in the south of the Yangtze River, where did the Demon Queen get the cavalry from? Even if Xi Shu tried their best at the beginning, they could only have 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry!"
"My lord, these people are shooting arrows while riding on horses!"
Zuo Shiren gritted his teeth and said, "This is the method of riding and shooting."
"If not, exit the city first." Zuo Shixin swallowed his saliva and suggested hastily.
"Zuo Shixin, please pass on the order. The entire army will continue to attack and kill, and are not allowed to withdraw from Liancheng. In addition, notify Kang Zhu that the Cangzhou army that Xiao Qing has intercepted hastily come to join the main camp."
"Master Xin, if we retreat at this time and the army withdraws from the flat land outside Liancheng, it will inevitably be a dead end. Inside the city, the cavalry cannot charge, and there is still a chance."
Zuo Shiren is extremely calm and has lived in Dongling for a long time. He rarely interacts with the cavalry camp. But even so, he knew that the power of the cavalry charge was unstoppable.
"This Demon Queen saw that Liancheng was about to fall, so she just took action hastily. Don't be afraid, the army will press forward and rely on the terrain in the city to rush into the Cangzhou Cavalry Camp!"
I have to say that Zuo Shiren was very calm at this moment.
It was a pity that the troops in the front line had not waited for the order to be issued. When they saw the vast cavalry figures, they thought they were ambushed. Many of the Dongling generals among them were so surprised that they shouted "Retreat".
"You are not allowed to retreat, you will die if you leave the city! Send the order, send the order quickly!" Zuo Shiren's voice was frightened and angry. He knew that the first group of troops who invaded Liancheng at this time had become extremely hasty.
Like a chain reaction, more and more Dongling soldiers retreated outside Liancheng.
Zuo Shiren's face trembled. In fact, the order had been transmitted very quickly. However, when the army entered the city, the phalanx was already in disarray and could not take orders quickly.
At this time, between heaven and earth, it seemed like I was reminded of continuous rolling thunder. After shooting four or five waves of flying arrows, Cangzhou's 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry battalion began to charge.
"My lord has an order, fight to the death with the enemy, do not retreat -"
Unfortunately, by the time this order was spread, it was already a little late.
Standing on the high ground, Zuo Shiren suddenly regretted that he did not send more men to investigate when he entered the city. The joy of success made him forget the Demon Queen's treachery for a moment.
Boom, boom.
Cangzhou's iron hooves, accompanied by bursts of flying arrows, roared towards the Dongling army retreating from the city.
"Gun formation, gun formation!"
"Quick, form a fence with your swords!"
There are still some Dongling soldiers who, under the orders of several generals, are blocking the city, trying to buy time to withdraw the army outside the city.
However, the number of people was too small, and before they could hold out for long, the entire army was wiped out, with broken limbs and blood spread all over the ground.
Zuo Shiren closed his eyes in pain. The military orders could not be conveyed in time. The Demon Queen took advantage of the opportunity. More than 30,000 Dongling troops who had withdrawn from Liancheng were about to fight with the Cangzhou cavalry camp on the flat land outside the city.
How can one survive this situation?
"Second order, retreat into the mountains and forests! Join the Shanyue Army first." Zuo Shiren put away his thoughts and hurriedly issued the second order.
But when the cavalry camp left the city, the momentum had already formed. Under the iron hooves, countless Dongling soldiers screamed and shouted loudly.
"kill--"
Relying on horseback, one cavalry camp phalanx after another continued to charge through the Dongling army.
"Shixin, you immediately organize the Divine Bow Battalion and use long-range shots to contain the enemy cavalry."
"Obey the Lord's order!"
Under the protection of more than a hundred personal guards, Zuo Shixin just stepped off the high ground. Quickly gather the nearby soldiers together.
"Don't panic, those who bear the bow will follow me -"
Before Zuo Shixin could finish speaking, several of the retreating soldiers suddenly raised their swords and struck towards Zuo Shixin.
With a scream, Zuo Shixin's head suddenly rolled onto the wetland.
The sudden change happened so quickly that the personal guards around Zuo Shixin had no time to react. Who would have thought that his own soldiers would take action against Niou's general.
"Kill them!"
The few soldiers who rebelled were instantly chopped into pieces. Someone wanted to take away Zuo Shixin's head, but found that at some point, the head had been snatched away by a figure in black robe who had come over and used Qinggong.
Zuo Shiren, who was on the high ground, kept watching intently. After being stunned for a moment, he burst into tears. He regarded this young general as his own and had been teaching the art of war and strategies carefully, but he never thought that he would be killed by the secret hidden by the Demon Queen.
"Retreat, retreat into the forest!" After a moment, Zuo Shiren suddenly understood something, and his voice became more and more trembling.
Sure enough, not long after, a Cangzhou general suddenly appeared at the top of Liancheng City, holding a bamboo pole high, and on the bamboo pole, Zuo Shixin's head was lifted.
"I...I call you my mother!" Zuo Shiren raised his head and roared.
…
"Donngling General Zuo Shixin has been killed by our Cangzhou Imperial Army. You have been defeated. Surrender immediately!" The voice of the Cangzhou General on the top of the city was extremely rough and could be heard far away.
After hearing these words, countless Dongling soldiers who were still fighting suddenly felt sad, and their morale was shattered.
…
"Come in and attack, Zuo Shiren did a good job in this battle, but it's a pity that in the end it was just a chess piece." Behind the city wall, Demon Empress Su stood calmly, occasionally raising her head to look at the bamboo pole holding a chess piece. 's head.
The black-robed Ah Qi stood aside, silently holding his sword and looking around with the corner of his eye.
"The force of this battle has exposed the Cangzhou cavalry camp. Now, I only hope that the teacher can delay the Yuzhou King's attack. At least, he can't be distracted temporarily."
"Ah Qi, the most terrifying thing in the Central Plains is not Xu Buyi, King of Yuzhou, Zuo Shiren...I am not afraid of these people fighting alone, but the most important thing is that these people gather together. Just like the east Ling Alliance, if someone launches a big alliance again, I will definitely lose."
Ah Qi seemed to understand, thought for a while, and nodded seriously.
