Chapter 68: Five Thousand Riders Down Liangqiu City Seeing Zhang Yi agreeing so readily, the great wizard of the Duo Army immediately realized that he had been deceived, but the words had already been spoken, he snorted heavily, and immediately waved his troops back.
The Duo army all retreated, and everyone on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Zhang Yi with an extra sense of admiration.
There was a hint of chill in Chang Sheng's eyes when he looked at Zhang Yi.
Although Zhang Yi retreated thousands of troops with one word, this achievement was not insignificant, but it made Chang Sheng lose face.
Zhang Yi was extremely attentive and saw the coldness in Changsheng's eyes.
Two days later, a total of 250,000 troops set off from Huangqiu City in a mighty manner and marched northward.
Only 50,000 soldiers were left to guard Huangqiu City.
The war began.
The first target was Liangqiu, a county town more than 300 miles away from Huangqiu City.
Ten miles outside Liangqiu City, the sky was dark, the yellow sand was long, and the 250,000-strong army stopped advancing.
"Commander, the city ahead is Liangqiu City.
The city is not high, and there are not many soldiers and horses.
There are ten thousand defenders.
The city's guard, Han Rui, is a master of ninth-grade martial arts."
Wei Zhennan said.
Changsheng nodded slightly, Liangqiu City was not a big city, and it would not be difficult to capture it.
"Command" Zhang Yi said: "Although our army of 250,000 is an elite division, it is a bit reluctant to capture Muhua City and occupy the three counties of Cangjiang with just these 250,000 people.
Therefore, we should The army will be expanded after the war, so this war is done For our first battle, it is best if we can persuade them to surrender.
If not, we must fight quickly and reduce the number of killings as much as possible.
Otherwise, soldiers will not be allowed to enter the city to kill the people.
Otherwise, if the news spreads, recruiting troops and expanding the army in the future may not go smoothly. " Changsheng waved his hand impatiently and said: "Our time is tight, so how can we persuade them to surrender?
In this battle, I will personally lead five thousand soldiers and sweep across Liangqiu City within an hour."
Immediately, Changsheng led five thousand cavalry, stirred up smoke and dust in the sky, and galloped away "General Qin, is there something wrong with leading the cavalry to attack the city?"
Wei Zhennan told Qin Yu that the combat effectiveness of cavalry in plain ground battles is far greater than that of infantry.
However, in siege battles, only infantry can be relied on, and cavalry cannot play any role.
"Haha, General Wei, don't worry.
Liangqiu City will be captured in less than half an hour.
General Wei only needs to arrange his troops to enter the city."
Qin Yu said.
The five thousand cavalry led by Chang Sheng galloped towards Liangqiu City.
The sound of horse hooves and the dust kicked up naturally attracted the attention of the Liangqiu City defender.
On the city wall of Liangqiu, Han Rui looked at the menacing thousands of cavalry and couldn't help but sneer.
To be able to become the general of a city, Han Rui is by no means a fool.
In front of Liangqiu City, there is only Huangqiu City.
Something must have happened in Huangqiu City.
But no matter what happened, it is simply wishful thinking to use these thousands of cavalry to capture Liangqiu City, which is defended by more than 10,000 troops.
Anyone who has ever been a soldier knows that in order to capture a city, you must have more than twice the number of troops.
Moreover, in terms of individual combat capabilities, although cavalry is far inferior to infantry, in this kind of siege battle, , cannot play any role In his eyes, the behavior of these cavalrymen was tantamount to suicide.
Han Rui was sure that the leader of these people must be a rookie.
It was unlucky for these cavalry to encounter such a general.
"No arrows are allowed.
I want to see how these thousands of cavalry are going to attack Liangqiu City.
Are they trying to use their horses to knock down the city wall?
Hahaha."
Han Rui laughed loudly, and his subordinates also laughed in unison, not paying attention to the five thousand cavalry who were about to approach the city.

However, this stupid decision doomed Han Rui to a miserable end.
"Brothers, I will break down the city gate in a moment, and you just have to fight your way in.
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."
"kill" The Everlasting Wind and Thunder Sword was unsheathed, pointed at Liangqiu City, and shouted loudly, with quite a bit of pressure from the general.
"kill" Although the five thousand cavalrymen screamed and shouted loudly at the beginning, they were still a little afraid of the upcoming battle.
They knew that the cavalry was of no use in the siege, but Changsheng's words completely dispelled it. allayed their concerns If the city gate can be broken open, five thousand cavalry can march straight in.
These five thousand cavalry are all elites, and the defenders in Liangqiu City have not experienced a real war for decades, and there is no way they can help these desolate people who have been wandering on the edge of life and death all year round.
The soldiers of Qiucheng wanted to compare.
Without the support of the city wall, the five thousand cavalry were confident that they could slaughter Liangqiu City with blood at a very small price.
Changsheng took the lead and led the charge, which brought the morale of these five thousand cavalry to its peak.
Nothing can boost morale more than the commander personally going into battle.
Five thousand cavalry rolled in, the sound of hoofbeats and shouts of killing were deafening.
Although there were only five thousand cavalry, at this moment, the power of tens of thousands of cavalry was revealed.
"General, it's better to fire arrows and don't let them approach the city, just in case something happens," a civil servant next to Han Rui said anxiously.
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Han Rui: "Nothing goes wrong.
You have been in the army for many years.
The cavalry cannot attack the city.
At this time, there is an iron law.
How can a mere five thousand cavalry do anything to me?
How can I be so timid?"
No arrows are allowed, let them come down to the city, I want to see how they attack the city."
Wen Chen wanted to say more, but Han Rui stared at him with a murderous look.
He didn't dare to speak, so he had to swallow his words.
At this time, the five thousand cavalry led by Changsheng had reached a distance of one hundred meters outside Liangqiu City. eighty meters fifty meters Thirty meters The five thousand cavalrymen showed no intention of slowing down and rushed towards the city gate.
The distance of thirty meters is already very short.
Even if the five thousand cavalry slow down at this time, they will inevitably hit the city wall and be knocked to death.
"Hahaha, are you really here to die?
I want to see whether your bones are stronger or the walls of Liangqiu City are stronger." twenty meters kill Changsheng suddenly shouted loudly, waved his wind and thunder sword, and a thunderous green sword energy shot towards Han Rui at lightning speed.
The sword energy came to Han Rui in just an instant from a distance of twenty meters.
In front of Rui, Han Rui's disbelieving gaze immediately broke open the breastplate and pierced its heart. puff The sword energy suddenly exploded in Han Rui's body, and his body was instantly torn apart.
Blood spurted out, and pieces of flesh filled the sky, splashing scarlet all over the people around him.
With just one sword strike, the defender of Liangqiu City and a strong ninth-grade martial artist was instantly dead.
"ah" After a brief silence, a burst of frightened screams erupted from the barren hill city.
"kill" Changsheng shouted wildly, waving the wind and thunder sword, and countless green sword energy, like the roar of a thunder snake, all poured on the gate of Liangqiu City.
Clang Clang Clang Clang boom Amidst the frightened eyes of the Liangqiu City defenders and the excited shouts of the five thousand cavalry, the solid iron gate shattered with a loud bang.
Any rules of war seem so pale and useless in the face of absolute strength.
"Kill kill kill" The whole army screamed and rushed directly into Liangqiu City without slowing down.
Han Rui was beheaded with one sword, and the entire city's defenders no longer had any intention to fight.
Under the iron cavalry of five thousand cavalry, they became corpses one after another.
It was a one-sided massacre.
In less than half an hour, all the 10,000 defenders, except for a few who escaped, were annihilated.
The cost of 5,000 cavalry casualties and less than 100 casualties was almost negligible.
The blood of the defenders stained the city red.
Outside Liangqiu City, more than 200,000 troops slowly marched to the lower part of Liangqiu City.
There was no shadow of half a defender on the city.

Scarlet blood slowly flowed out from the city gate.
Looking inside, it was bloody.
Zhang Yi looked at the corpses all over the city, frowned slightly, shook his head slowly, and sighed softly.
"Hahaha, the commander is indeed extraordinary.
Within half an hour, he used five thousand cavalry to capture the city with ten thousand defenders.
This battle is worthy of being recorded in history."
Wei Zhennan smiled and randomly ordered the generals to lead the troops into the city.
Half an hour later, in the lobby of the Liangqiu City Lord's Mansion, the people of the Jiuhua Sect and the generals of Huangqiu City were seated in order of priority.
The lobby of the City Lord's Mansion was temporarily used as a place for everyone to discuss matters.
"Liangqiu City has been destroyed, what do you think of what happens next?"
Changsheng asked, but no one spoke.
Zhang Yi also lowered his head and said nothing.
He had not spoken since entering Liangqiu City.
Qin Yu naturally knew what Zhang Yi was thinking.
In fact, in this battle, it was enough to capture the city.
There was no need to annihilate all the defenders, and they could be completely included.
Although there are now 250,000 troops, it is not enough to unify the land south of Cangjiang River.
Killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred.
This army of 250,000 will inevitably suffer casualties in the constant war.
The army needs to be expanded and new troops need to join.
If this happens every battle, I am afraid that Muhua City will not be captured before.
There is not much left of the 250,000-strong army.
"Ahem" Seeing no one and saying nothing, Tian Geng slowly stood up and said: "This area of resistance south of Cangjiang River has hundreds of large and small cities.
If we occupy them one by one, I don't know how long it will take to complete the great task.
Moreover, here The news will soon reach the capital of China, so we don’t have much time."
Tian Geng is not only proficient in the art of divination, but his intelligence and strategy are not inferior to Zhang Yi.
This is why Qin Yu recommended him as a military advisor.
Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Originally, he was still embarrassed about answering the five people's questions.
Tian Geng's words made Changsheng feel happy instantly.
That day, Changsheng said that Zhang Yi was an arrogant person.
However, Zhang Yi persuaded the Duojun witch with his words and solved the urgent need.
However, Changsheng lost face.
Recently, everyone was silent, and Tian Geng was very angry.
The timely answer saved Changsheng from embarrassment When the two compare, Changsheng's heart tilts towards Tian Geng.
"Senior Brother Tian has unique vision and what he said is true.
I wonder if Senior Brother Tian has any good plans," Changsheng said
