Chapter 268

"My Lord, it seems that the other party already knows that we will attack the city!"

On the other side of the Allied forces of the three cities on the border, closely following the central army array behind the charging cavalry, the deputy general with a bright face hesitated.

The adult in his mouth is a governor and the commander of this 400000 raid army, which is called Bao Jianye.

Bao Jianye was not the local general of the four border cities, but was urgently dispatched by Fengqi province to support the border after the fall of Nante province. As a result, he had the highest rank in the four border cities and became the commander of the army of Qingyang empire.

Hearing the deputy general's hesitation, Bao Jianye curled his lips and disdained at the bottom of his heart.

"What do you say?"

He didn't give the deputy general face, and said coldly, "if the other party doesn't know we're coming, why should he expel the civilians of Xifeng City?"

"Let's..."

The deputy general was still very hesitant, but after looking at Bao Jianye's face, he wisely shut up.

Since they knew that the other party had been prepared, they rushed so straight, and there was always some bad premonition in the deputy general's heart.

But what Bao Jianye said when he ordered the whole army to raid last night is not unreasonable. No matter what the other party said, there are only 100000 troops, which is much less than his own side.

He is also a native of the four border cities. He knows Xifeng City well and knows that Xifeng City's poor urban defense ability really doesn't need to care much.

Even if it's just cavalry to attack the city, this strength is enough.

However, the cavalry attack the city was already weak, and they simply ignored the other party's preparations for their arrival. They rushed straight to Xifeng City, which was equivalent to handing over their original advantages to the other party bit by bit.

The deputy general felt unwilling.

He knows very well that even if he can successfully get back Xifeng City this time, there is absolutely no half credit of Bao Jianye. It is because they have a large number of soldiers and a wide range of generals. Even because of Bao Jianye's tricks, they will lose a lot of troops that should not have been lost.

When the real contract construction industry brought 100000 troops to the four border cities, the remaining 300000 of these 400000 people are composed of their local soldiers, and they are the 300000 people who charged in front.

In other words, if there is any loss, it is the loss of their four border cities. As for Bao Jianye's 100000 elite soldiers, it is obvious that they want to carry out the final work of cleaning up the leak.

People come from them, and Bao Jianye takes the credit. This guy is really a good abacus!

But knowing so, what can he do?

Bao Jianye's rank is higher than theirs. It's also the imperial rule for him to command the army. It's strange that Bao Jianye doesn't take this opportunity to make a lot of money for himself.

The deputy general was upset that Bao Jianye wanted to make a profit, but he had to treat the people in the four border cities as people.

He let the local soldiers charge ahead. They were all soldiers. They were ready and had the consciousness of dying for their country as early as the moment they joined the army.

But this bastard, he just doesn't treat soldiers as people, even those civilians

Yesterday, they found that a large number of civilians poured out from Xifeng City. At that time, Bao Jianye ignored his original order, and even ordered that if civilians dared to enter their array range, they would be killed on the spot!

As soon as this order was issued, no civilians had been killed on the spot. First of all, it shocked everyone who heard Bao Jianye's words on the spot.

Even, almost triggered a mutiny on the spot!

Later, the deputy general tried his best to stop him. He knew Bao Jianye with emotion and moved with reason. It was not easy for him to give up his plan and hand over the handling of civilians to himself.

Thanks to their proper placement of civilians, otherwise they would not have to fight in Xifeng City together with the mutiny. Whether they can clean up the mess is two things to say.

How can Bao Jianye still command a large number of cavalry charge in high spirits?

As a result, this guy didn't know how to be grateful and didn't say anything. He even did his best to despise himself. How can people not be angry?

The deputy general even had a malicious hope in his heart. He hoped that the Qingyang soldiers in Xifeng City would fight for breath and give Bao Jianye a head-on blow. At that time, he wanted to have a good look at how long the fart look on Bao Jianye's face could last.

But in that way... It was still their own soldiers in the four border cities who suffered losses, which made the deputy general tangle for a while.

So in this tangle, the cavalry who rushed to Xifeng City like a tsunami were less than a mile away from Xifeng City!

The deputy general took back his mind and stared at the Stormtrooper with Bao Jianye in the distance. No matter what kind of thoughts they were thinking, they also knew that the battle was about to start!

"Rush, brothers, rush with me!"

The commander of the charge cavalry force is a school captain. Although he is also dissatisfied with the charge order issued by Bao Jianye, since he has received the military order, he will go all out!

Xifeng City is right in front of us, and the victory is right in front of us. In the eyes of the school captain, we can even see that the road of Xifeng City has not been repaired in time after it has been broken, and it is full of cracked doors.

For such a gate, they only need to rush to the city gate. Even if they hit it with a horse's head, they can smash it. How can they have any defense?

Now all they have to do is rush to the gate!

The school captain has seen that the defenders of Xifeng City head are on alert. There are those who draw bows and arrows, those who carry rolling stones and beat wood, and even some people are pouring hot oil on the city wall. Everything looks like all sieges.

But so what?

Don't say that they haven't entered the range of bows and arrows yet. Even if they enter, they are completely fearless with their equipment armed to horseshoes and hard armor.

They are heavy cavalry!

The captains are extremely confident in their troops' defense ability. Unless they are attacked by a catapult, they can only cause damage to them by relying on strong impact.

But at this time, their distance can't even reach the catapult?

While maintaining the attitude of charging, the school captain also estimated the distance between the two sides in his heart. He wanted to make a judgment based on his own experience. When his side stepped into the attack range of the other side's catapult, he would order all to disperse to reduce the losses caused by the catapult.

But

Just when the captain was sure that his side was still at a safe distance, a large number of burning meteors suddenly rose over Xifeng City!

No, not a meteor!

It's throwing stones!

It's a flint ignited by hot oil!

How?

The captain was surprised, but he calmed down again in an instant.

Drop a rock at this distance?

Air?
