Seeing Qi Guodong fighting out, the troops behind him all roared and charged forward.
As soon as the footsteps moved, arrows flew towards the ground. Many soldiers could not resist and immediately fell to the ground. The soldiers behind stepped over the corpses on the ground and continued running forward.
Cao Yinfang watched Qi Guodong's army launch an attack. The corners of his mouth rose and he couldn't help but smile: "This is looking for death."
"Hahaha, the lord is still awesome." Cui Congsheng said with a smile.
Cao Yinfang said unhurriedly: "Instruct the swordsmen and sword soldiers on both sides to attack me and block the enemy's attack."
"Yes." Cui Congsheng ordered immediately.
Within a moment, the troops on both sides were seen moving towards the middle of Qi Guodong's army, quickly blocking Qi Guodong's attack route.
"Lord, it seems that we can annihilate them all this time." Cui Congsheng said with a smile.
Cao Yinfang was also secretly proud, watching Qi Guodong fighting hard in front, and asked: "Who is that person? He has good fighting ability. He must be a hero."
"Yes, he is a hero. His name is Qi Guodong. He is strong, honest and stupid." Cui Congsheng said.
"Then let him turn into a dead cow." Cao Yinfang said with cold murderous intent in the corners of his eyes: "Send an order for the melee troops to retreat quickly. All the archers will advance and shoot Qi Guodong."
After receiving Cao Yinfang's order, the army fighting Qi Guodong immediately retreated.
Qi Guodong was about to kill Huan. After slashing a soldier with his steel knife, he found that all Cao Bin's soldiers were running back. He smiled and said, "You still dare to run, let's kill him." He led the army to catch up.
When Feng Ziying received the news that Cao Yinfang's army had arrived at the South City Gate in the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately ordered Zhou Tao to rush to support him. After handling the trivial matters himself, he did not dare to stay at the City Lord's Mansion and led his troops to the South City Gate in person.
Zhou Tao was in the south of the city and had bandaged his wounds. When he heard that Cao Yinfang was coming, he hurried to the south gate without waiting for Feng Ziying's order.
After sealing the south gate, Zhou Tao led his archers to the tower. After changing all the flags, he saw Qi Guodong chasing Cao Yinfang's army.
At a glance from the tower, Cao Yinfang's military formation can be seen clearly. Cao Yinfang's melee troops retreated, exposing Qi Guodong's army. The archers behind them pressed forward. With the absolute advantage of their strength, they fired at random at close range. No one could withstand it.
"No, send an order to Qi Guodong to come back quickly." Zhou Tao ordered, and he immediately ran down the tower and led his troops out of the city to support Qi Guodong.
The call to withdraw troops sounded from the tower. Qi Guodong stopped and looked back. He saw that his army's flag had been planted on the tower and knew that Zhou Tao had arrived and occupied the tower.
Qi Guodong smiled knowingly, turned around with a smile, and felt a sudden blackness in the sky. When he looked up, he saw a dense rain of arrows falling towards him at a very fast speed.
"Ah!" Qi Guodong was shocked and raised his steel knife to protect the sky.
The arrows hit Qi Guodong's steel knife and his strength one after another. After twenty or thirty arrows in a row, an arrow passed under Qi Guodong's steel knife and shot into Qi Guodong's upper shoulder.
Qi Guodong's arms softened, his movements slowed down, and two more arrows shot into Qi Guodong's body.
Qi Guodong suddenly felt numb all over his body, as if he had lost consciousness. He stopped and stood there.
"Swish, swish, swish" After a rain of arrows, Qi Guodong's body was covered with arrows, his eyes were staring there, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, his lips moved slightly, he used his last strength, moved his cheeks, and smiled reluctantly, He fell to the ground with a bang.
As soon as Qi Guodong died, Cao Yinfang's archers fired randomly at the troops behind Qi Guodong, causing a scream.
The rest of the army ran back as hard as they could. Amidst the random arrows, only a small part of the army ran away from the shooting range and reached Zhou Tao.
Seeing Qi Guodong dead and lying on the ground covered with arrows, Zhou Tao's face collapsed and he stood there blankly.
"Batalion Commander, run quickly, Cao Yinfang's archers are chasing us." A soldier shouted.
Zhou Tao recovered from his sluggishness, immediately followed the army back to the city, and closed the city gate tightly.
Cao Yinfang pursued him to the city gate. When he saw that the city gate was tightly closed and the city towers were filled with archers from Sesha City, he hesitated, wondering whether he should attack the city.
"Report."
"Report."
"Report."
The intelligence soldiers who had just been sent out ran back one after another, and the reports sounded in Cao Yinfang's ears again and again.
"Lord, Luo Feng Army is found on the right."
"Lord, Aimer City has been occupied by Luofeng Army"
"Lord, it's not good, tens of thousands of troops are coming quickly."
"Oh no, Lord, Ma Xiaoke's army is catching up behind us."
"What?" Cao Yin was shocked.
If he was caught up by Ma Xiaoke, he would definitely be beaten severely. Then he would be attacked from both sides and there would be no place to run.
There is only one way now, which is to take back Elmer City and then use Elmer City as a stronghold to resist Ma Xiaoke.
"The whole army attacks the city."
Cao Yinfang couldn't control that much, so he piled up all the troops and simply gave it a try.
Under Cao Yinfang's command, all the archers pushed forward layer by layer against the arrows on the tower, resisting the attack on the tower. The archers behind quickly cut in, and a large number of archers came within shooting range, and arrows flew into the sky. The ones on the ground flew up to the tower, suppressing the tower's attack.
Zhou Tao was on the tower, hiding in the corner of the protective wall. He poked his head out and saw Cao Yinfang's spearmen. The swordsmen began to attack. Just as he was about to get up, he was shot back by flying arrows.
Most of the archers on the tower were killed or wounded. If they went down, they would all be shot dead. Zhou Tao shouted: "Everyone retreat from the tower and build a defense line on the square inside the city gate."
The towers were filled with arrows flying up from below, and they were so densely shot that they couldn't withstand it. After hearing Zhou Tao's order, taking advantage of the opportunity for Cao Yinfang's archers to attack, Zhou Tao led his troops and ran down the tower quickly.
Cao Yinfang's army arrived at the city gate and was about to attack the city. Suddenly the city gate opened with a "crack" and a burst of arrows flew out from inside. Cao Yinfang's army in front fell to the ground.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, Cao Yinfang shouted: "Let me attack and break through the city gate as quickly as possible." He mobilized the troops of the two battalions around him and ordered the archers to launch fire outside the city to support the attacking army.
Zhou Tao defended the city. Cao Yinfang was unable to attack for a while, and he was so anxious that beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.
Cui Congsheng next to him was even more anxious. He stretched his neck to the point that it was about to break. He stared at the city gate and saw that the effect was not good. He said: "Lord, it's better to retreat. Go west and retreat into Qibin City. We can fight again."
"What should I do if they chase me?" Cao Yinfang asked.
"Secure the city and defend." Cui Congsheng hurriedly replied.
"Haha." Cao Yinfang sneered and said, "Don't be naive. If we retreat now, no matter which of their forces attacks us, they won't be able to defend us. Let me continue the attack."
The siege troops poured into the city gate in waves. The soldiers behind quickly moved away the corpses and cleared the passage, so that the siege troops in front could quickly enter.
