Chapter 202: Black Rider Raid

The enemy formation began to change, and the large square formation that had gathered before began to move forward slowly, a small part of which entered the hills on both sides. On the front, the gray-armored sergeants were pushing forward, with no less than five thousand people.

The sound of neat military boots stomping on the ground came into everyone's ears. The square formation was slowly advancing forward, and the catapult in the middle of the square formation was also moving slowly.

Huang Yuchen's eyes were cold, and he grabbed the long sword in his hand and was ready to wait. The soldiers responsible for defense on both sides had bowstrings in their hands, holding their breath and concentrating.

The enemy has never dispatched more than 5,000 soldiers at once, which does not include the enemy entering the hills on both sides. Even if the enemy can resist the attack on the front, if the hills on both sides are occupied by the enemy and the catapult is pushed up to the hills, the entire Changxiangcheng will be within the range of the enemy's range. Don't talk about defense at that time, it is a luxury to save your life.

And the rest of his life had retreated the soldiers from the hills on both sides. At present, no one in the hills defended.

"Wow! Wow!"

The enemy formation was moving forward with neat steps, and the sound of friction of the armor was heard from time to time. The gray armor looked a little pale under the moonlight. As the enemy advances from time to time, the pressure continues to increase.

"Enter the range!"

The sergeants on the post quickly reported the enemy's movements. The enemy in the front row had already entered the range of the longbow, but all the sergeants did not take action. They were waiting for the catapult to stop and wait for the enemy to start a formal attack.

The enemy in the front row still carried a huge shield that was shoulder-high. Each of the soldiers behind him had a small shield in his hand to defend against crossbows shot from the city. Unlike before, crossbowmen appeared in the enemy's phalanx, which means that the enemy had the ability to counterattack upwards during the advancement. From the overall sergeant of the enemy's soldiers, it was impossible to tell that they were not an elite army at all.

Huang Yuchen couldn't figure out why the enemy's previous attack did not join the crossbowman, perhaps to consume the city's war resources faster? As soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately denied by Huang Yuchen. If it was really to consume resources, then killing a sergeant on his side would be more than consuming a few arrow feathers.

From this, it can be roughly inferred that the soldiers who had surrounded Changxiangcheng at the beginning might have been dispatched urgently nearby and arrived in Changxiangcheng through an urgent marching. However, due to the urgent time, the enemy's pioneer troops were not equipped with crossbowmen. However, as soon as they arrived in Changxiangcheng, they immediately began to attack the city and attacked wildly at any cost, which was something that Huang Yuchen couldn't understand.

What Huang Yuchen didn't know was that the sudden appearance of several feet of flames at the front gate of Changxiangcheng really scared the generals of the enclave. Their original plan was to take Changxiangcheng into one go, but after seeing this situation, they temporarily changed the tactics.

In addition to the 20,000 reinforcements that have arrived now, more troops are still gathering in Changxiangcheng.

In the enclave, there were three generals responsible for the battle, one was responsible for recapturing the Black Stone Wall, one was responsible for the defense of Wufeng City, and the remaining one was responsible for the entire annihilation of the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion entering the enclave.

The 100,000 elite soldiers in the enclave were divided into three parts, responsible for the Black Stone City Wall, 40,000 elite soldiers, and 40,000 elite soldiers in the defense of Wufeng City. And the 20,000 elite soldiers in the enclave were responsible for annihilation of the elite soldiers entering the enclave.

In the previous battle, about 10,000 elite troops were invested, but the sudden fire formation caused chaos in the previous plan. The generals of the enclave had no choice but to change their strategies and send out the soldiers who had forced signs in the enclave to rush to Changxiangcheng.

The 20,000 reinforcements that arrived in Changxiangcheng at this moment were only part of the total number of reinforcements. The general used extraordinary means to forcibly indicate 40,000 soldiers in a large area of ​​the enclave to encircle the cavalry troops of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. These troops basically had no combat experience and could only play a role in delaying.

Therefore, the enclave generals wanted to use tricks to let the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion enter Changxiangcheng, and at the same time, they used a huge gap in military strength to completely nail the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion to Changxiangcheng, so as to achieve the effect of annihilation of the Dongwang Mansion army.

But Yu Sheng coincided with the enemy generals in this matter. He also wanted to use Changxiangcheng to capture all these annoying enemy troops who blocked the road in one fell swoop before the battle in Wufeng City.

Therefore, such a battle to invite you to fall into the trap started.

"Forty feet!"

The soldiers on the whistle tower loudly informed the distance between the enemy and the city wall. When they heard a sound of forty feet, all the soldiers immediately shot out the arrow feathers that had been prepared in their hands.

"Swoosh!Swoosh!"

The sound of arrow feathers cutting through the sky came from time to time, covering the enemy's phalanx in front of the city. The enemy's phalanx promoted this time was roughly estimated to be less than 5,000, so all the soldiers did not hold back and tried their best to shoot the enemy.

Taking advantage of the city wall, even if the enemy has a phalanx of crossbowmen, they cannot raise their heads and have any impact on the sergeants on the city wall at this moment. They can only hide in the formation and use the shields of the soldiers around them to resist the arrow feathers falling from the sky.

Countless arrow feathers cut through the sky, screams immediately echoed one after another, and the enemy's phalanx immediately appeared vacant, but they were not immediately replenished. The gaps in the phalanx became larger and larger, becoming the main firepower pouring point for the soldiers guarding the city.

The enemy soldiers fell down like cut wheat, and there were more and more vacant vacancies in the square formation, and the gaps formed became larger and larger. Soon, the enemy's vanguard had no formation at all.

Huang Yuchen stood above the city, his eyes solidified, and he looked at the enemy formation below. Such cooperation was completely unavailable. Although the opponent was almost the same as the sergeant who attacked before, the difference in combat effectiveness and battlefield response was too far.

"I can't be sure whether it is a commoner." Huang Yuchen thought silently in his heart: "If we don't kill all the enemy troops in front of the city to clear obstacles for the cavalry, once the catapult enters the range, the city wall will be dangerous."

Not only Huang Yuchen thought so, but all the centurions in charge of defense, including all the soldiers, they naturally saw that the sergeants now siege were not elite troops, and they were probably ordinary people who were forced to go to the battlefield by the enemy, but at this time, it was impossible to hold back.

The arrow feathers kept pouring down, causing more and more casualties. The soldiers in the enemy's phalanx seemed to have no feelings and did not make up for the gap in the phalanx. They just rushed straight towards the city wall like walking corpses. Each enemy sergeant had different expressions, but none of them retreated, as if they were completely coming to die.

"Takes!"

Suddenly, a loud shout from the post interrupted Huang Yuchen's thoughts. He looked at it intently and saw that the enemy's catapult had been built not far away, and the huge rolling stone was placed on the shooting platform of the catapult, and was about to start the attack.

"Strike immediately!"

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen immediately roared at the city. The main gate of Changxiangcheng was wide open, and hundreds of black-armored soldiers came out in a row, with black war horses under his crotch constantly rising and heading straight for the enemy formation ahead.

Standing on the city wall, I felt a black dragon suddenly rushing out from under my feet and pounced directly on the gray square in front of me.

"Free shooting! Clear the path for brothers!" Huang Yuchen immediately ordered loudly, and the arrow feathers flew out, shooting all the enemy troops who entered the range directly in front of the cavalry.

The black-armored iron cavalry was getting faster and faster. The enemy soldiers who were hindering their progress in front of them were constantly shot and killed by arrow feathers on the city wall, causing them to move forward without any obstacles in front of them.

In a blink of an eye, the black armored iron cavalry was like a pair of black scissors, directly inserted into the enemy's phalanx, and the degree was not reduced, and he headed straight for the catapult.

The enemy soldiers around them waved their weapons to desperately block the impact of the black-armored Iron Cavalry, but the iron cavalry's degree had reached its peak. The strictly trained war horses galloped forward desperately, which was not something that the flesh-and-blooded infantry in front could resist.

After crossing the maximum range of the longbow, the distance of twenty feet arrived instantly. In front of the catapult, a neat long spear formation was ready to wait for the arrival of the black armored iron cavalry.

Without any hesitation, the black-armored iron cavalry in the front rushed straight towards the enemy's spear formation. Countless spears penetrated his body and the body of the war horse. More than a dozen black-armored iron cavalry died immediately, but the powerful impact force disrupted the formation of the enemy's spear team, causing a brief riot in the square formation.

The black-armored iron cavalry behind arrived immediately, taking advantage of the enemy's sudden riots, they rushed into the enemy's formation and rushed straight to the catapult.

As more black-armored iron cavalry poured in, the enemy's formation became messy. The black-armored iron cavalry rushed to the catapult, waved the long halberd in his hand, and destroyed the catapult within a few breaths. At this moment, the forward rushing force did not diminish. The entire army turned the horse's head in front, rushed to the enemy's formation again, and headed straight for the Changxiang City Gate.

What was in front of them at this moment was the enemy phalanx that was constantly advancing forward. Among the phalanx, there were all kinds of cars and city towers.

The black-armored iron cavalry team aimed at a rushing car and attacked again. The enemy's phalanx was penetrated by the black-armored iron cavalry. The assembly was not completed yet again. The black-armored iron cavalry rushed in again, destroyed a rushing car, and rushed straight to the main gate of Changxiangcheng.

The front door opened wide, and hundreds of black-armored iron cavalry entered one after another, completing their mission this time.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed into the enemy camp ten times their number, destroyed the catapult in the middle of the enemy's phalanx, destroyed a city-rushing car, killed hundreds of enemy soldiers, and rushed back again.

And just as he entered and exited, the black-armored Iron Cavalry also paid the price of hundreds of people.

None of the soldiers who returned to the city were covered in blood and panting. This raid mission seemed to be completed successfully, but when they rushed into such a dense enemy formation, almost all the soldiers were injured, including the war horses wearing armor under their crotch, and were also injured to varying degrees.

"hills!"

Huang Yuchen was still looking at the black-armored sergeant. The messenger on the post shouted loudly. Huang Yuchen immediately turned around and saw dense figures appearing on the hills. The hills had been occupied.
Chapter completed!
