The king behind the empress

Chapter 420 Offensive and Defensive Translocation
After Yang Yanzhang shot an arrow from the lever, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously looked up and found a huge stone falling from the sky, directly hitting Yu Zhijun.

"Catapult, be careful!"

After Yang Yanzhang issued a warning, he slightly turned his horse's head and moved closer to the point where the stone fell. He hung his bow on the saddle and drew out his inch-long spear again.

When the stone was about to fall, Yang Yanzhang, who rushed to the spot where the stone fell, directly swung the inch-long spear in his hand, and slammed it on the stone.

The inch-long gun drawn on the rock was like a small stone. Although the size and proportion were a little different, Yang Yanzhang easily pulled back the boulder.

"Bang~"

A huge stone hit the wooden team wall, directly smashing a hole in the team wall, but Yang Yanzhang didn't have the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to enter Situ Yao's army.

"The first team throws a wave in the direction of the falling rock, the second team covers, and the rest evacuate."

Following Yang Yanzhang's order, boulders flew from the sky again, but this time it was not one piece, but a dozen pieces flew over.

Seeing this scene, Yang Yanzhang didn't hesitate at all. He pressed the horse's back, jumped onto the horse's back, and then slammed his feet hard, almost stomping down the red-blooded dragon Cong Ma Wang who was already in the marrow washing state .

"Sorry~"

The intelligence of the red-blooded dragon Cong in the Marrow Washing Realm is about the same as that of a four- or five-year-old child. When he was stepped on suddenly, he immediately snorted in dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, it decided to hold back the breath first, pretending nothing happened, then walked a few steps directly, and came under Yang Yanzhang, so as to wait for Yang Yanzhang to fall down and catch him.

For the sake of being so sensible, that stupid two-legged beast should at least add half a pot of honey to his forage.

The red-blooded dragon Cong, who had wishful thinking, looked up at the sky, and Yang Yanzhang, who was flying up with his strength, shot left and right in the air with an inch-long gun, and he knocked down most of the dozen boulders that flew over.

As for the remaining ones that were far away from him, although they fell, they were basically stopped by the Red Flame Dragonriders who were in charge of covering them. In the Marrow Washing Realm, it is not a problem to stop the stones thrown by these trebuchets.

As for the team in charge of throwing, no one was distracted by looking at the stone at all. After pulling out the bows and arrows in their hands, they directly shot a wave of arrows at the place where the stone was thrown.

It's just that after the wave of arrows rained, there were not too many screams from the camp, and it seemed that Tu Yu had already prepared himself.

But even so, the trebuchet in Situ Yao's camp temporarily stopped, and it was unknown whether it was suppressed or was refilling with stones.

Yang Yanzhang looked at Situ Yao's big account for a while, and finally decided to give up the plan to rush to the camp for the time being. The risks and benefits are not directly proportional. If the Red Flame Dragon Knight falls into it, he will lose a lot, so there is no need to take risks.

Besides, Han Qu's [-] soldiers still need to train soldiers. If he let himself finish fighting, then what else would he need to train.

Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhang, who landed on the back of the red-blooded dragon again, ordered in a deep voice: "Withdraw the troops first, but don't go too fast, and see if there will be any unsightly people chasing them out."

"Here."

The other generals responded, followed behind Yang Yanzhang, and swaggered back in the direction of Guangling City.

On Situ Yao's side, there were tens of thousands of people, but no one dared to go out to pursue them. They all watched Yang Yanzhang and the others retreat silently.

After they returned to the city, instead of feeling humiliated, the Patriarchs in the big tent breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really worried that the Red Flame Dragonriders would kill in just now. After all, if the five thousand invulnerable Red Flame Dragonriders were killed in, then they, the noble Patriarchs, seemed to have no other way to go except to flee in a hurry. up.

It's just that when they glanced at the expressions of the other people in the big tent, they suddenly felt that this emotion was not right, so someone immediately opened his mouth to break the silence, looked at Situ Yao and said, "Leader, this red flame dragon ride is so strong, our What to beat them with?"

Situ Yao didn't answer, and his expression was a little gloomy. Before he came, he knew that the Chiyan Dragonriders were very strong, and he was ready to pile them up with numbers.

But he never expected that the Scarlet Flame Dragon Knight would be so strong. Judging from the strength they showed when they blocked the throwing stones just now, those soldiers must at least have the cultivation base of the marrow washing state.

This kind of strength is still a soldier. Put it on their side, even if it is put on the frontier army back then, it is more than enough to be the commander of a thousand-man team.

But now, Mo Zizai is so extravagant that he treats so many warriors who are enough to be the commander of a thousand-man team as ordinary soldiers to form such a cavalry. Isn't this a bit too generous?
This strength far exceeded his imagination. If he really wanted to kill them with numbers, there was only one way, and that was to use the elite under his command as the vanguard, entangle them tightly, and then fight with an army of 50. Only half of them can have a glimmer of hope to keep them.

And this is just a glimmer of hope, not absolutely sure.

Because, those damn horses are too outrageous! ! !
Thinking of those mounts of Chiyan Dragonrider, Situ Yao even had some difficulty controlling his emotions. People can cultivate, no matter how they cultivated, it is understandable to be stronger.

But you are so strong even with horses, isn’t it a bit deceptive? People can practice, so can horses also practice? ? ?
Even a well-informed person like Situ Yao felt a little shocked when he saw those horses carrying armor weighing hundreds of catties and people running like the wind.

Moreover, based on Situ Yao's understanding of horses, those red-blooded dragons did not show their full speed in the battle just now.

That is to say, they can easily catch up with the light cavalry when they have spare energy, and even Hu Bin who is riding a famous horse can't escape. What kind of monster horse is this?
With these horses around, no matter how good a trap he set up, he might not be able to keep them all.

Thinking of this, Situ Yao's gloomy expression became even uglier.

It's just that as the leader, no matter what his mood is, he has to come out to preside over the overall situation, so he adjusted his mood, his face regained his calm, and then he said, "Why are you panicking?"

"No matter how strong the cavalry is, there are only 5000 people. We have an army of 50 here, and we have an absolute advantage in numbers. Why are you afraid of it?"

"There is no more than 50, and there are 47 left."

Patriarch Qian Wuwu heard Situ Yao's words and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, but this muttering attracted the glare of Hu Yudong, the Patriarch of Hu Family.

Originally, he wanted to save himself less losses, so he let his precious cavalry fight this first battle. As a result, all [-] cavalry were involved in it at once. If he hadn't been unable to beat Qian Wuwu, the old guy, he would have gone up and slapped him two big ears.

Looking at Hu Yudong who was glaring at him, Qian Wuwu just laughed, but he didn't apologize in the slightest. When he thought that his light cavalry was quite sure against the Red Flame Dragon Knight, Hu Yudong showed him the face of a villain. Some upset.

So seeing Hu Yudong looking like a concubine, Qian Wuwu couldn't help provoking him on purpose, but he didn't say much, after all, they are still allies in name, it would be bad if they really broke their faces.

Although Situ Yao also heard this sentence, he acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued: "Tomorrow, I will deploy a few more arrows and trebuchets in the army. If the Red Flame Dragon Knight dares to charge If you don’t form a formation, use arc arrows to keep them behind.”

"There are only 5000 people in total. I want to see how many times they dare to rush out."

"What about the siege?"

Hearing Situ Yao's words, the Patriarch of the Cui Family in Jinkou County couldn't help asking, after all, these weapons were used to attack the city, if they were all used to guard against the Red Flame Dragonriders, how could the city be attacked.

"There is no rush before the siege."

Before Situ Yao came, he did not expect that the strength of the Red Flame Dragonriders would be so strong, so the siege equipment he brought was not enough. If it was a strong attack, with the strength of those Red Flame Dragonriders, they would not go up and be killed as many as they went up, but attack at all. not come down.

So he thought for a while, and then said: "Temporary siege and no attack, wait until the craftsmen have made enough siege equipment, and then launch the total effort."

Speaking of this, Situ Yao spoke again to appease everyone: "Time is on our side, so there is no need for you to worry. After all, apart from our 50 people, Jieyang and Yecheng also have 15 troops each. Bei'an The king also agreed to send troops."

"As long as they can take Jieyang and Yecheng, cut off the rear of Guangling City, and disturb their rear, then Guangling City will naturally win without a fight."

"This method is fine..."

Everyone thought about it, but they didn't have a good idea. After all, no one wanted to face that terrifying red flame dragonrider, so after a moment of silence, they all agreed with Situ Yao's plan.

……

It took nearly three days for the 50 army to set up the camp. During this period, Yang Yanzhang also went out of the city to harass him several times. But every time they go out of the city, at least hundreds of lives can be taken away.

So Yang Yanzhang simply took the Chiyan Dragon Rider out to practice archery, and came out to shoot a few waves of arrows at Situ Yao's camp when he was free. He led his troops away without hesitation.

Anyway, they were all at a safe distance, even with a siege tool like Huya, they could basically not hurt them, and they could come and go freely.

On the fourth day, after Situ Yao's five camps were set up, Yang Yanzhang gave up on harassing the camps, and instead led the Chiyan Dragon Rider to call out outside the camps.

With such an unscrupulous appearance, it seemed that he was on the attacking side, while Situ Yao and the others were on the defensive side.

Hearing Situ Yao yelling at the gate of the camp, the faces of the people in the camp were a little ugly.

In the past few days, because Yang Yanzhang took hundreds of lives away every time he came to harass, the morale of the army was extremely low, not to mention going to the camp wall to guard, those soldiers usually did not even dare to approach the camp wall.

After all, no one wants to be the one who gets shot next time.

If it weren't for the high prestige of these aristocratic patriarchs in their own army, plus the fact that Situ Yao responded properly, and their 50 army had an absolute numerical advantage, there might have been deserters already.

So if Yang Yanzhang is allowed to call out at the door without responding at this moment, the morale of the army may drop to the extreme when it is not high. At that time, there may be a slight disturbance, and the army may collapse.

It's just that even though they knew it was the result, none of the patriarchs of these families spoke at the moment.

After all, the strength of the Red Flame Dragonriders is obvious to all, and they don't want their soldiers to die in vain.

"Master, this is not the way to go."

Seeing that everyone fell into silence, Hu Yudong spoke. Anyway, his cavalrymen were dying and fleeing, so he couldn't be allowed to go up again, so he didn't have the slightest scruples to speak.

What's more, he still has some dark thoughts in his heart. After all, he has suffered such a heavy loss, but you have no loss. Isn't that too unfair?

So he said directly: "If he is allowed to call for battle at the gate of the camp, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse, so we must dampen his spirit and give the soldiers some confidence, otherwise this battle will be impossible."

"That's a good point."

Qian Wuwu guessed some of Hu Yudong's thoughts, so he said eccentrically, "Since Patriarch Hu said so, then please send someone to dampen Yang Yanzhang's spirit, and we will cheer for you in the back, waiting for you to win." , how about we kill them together?"

"I really want to make a move."

Hu Yudong didn't care about the needless run on money, and said: "But the elites in my hands have already been fought, and I have no soldiers to use if I want to make a move. Why don't Master Qian lend me your soldiers to destroy that Red Flame Dragon Rider?" , how about paying you back right away?"

"Repay? What are you paying?"

Xu Ran, the Patriarch of the Xu family in Wujiang County, couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, "Do you want to use your [-] light cavalry to pay it back?"

"you……"

Hu Yudong couldn't help showing anger when he heard the words, and said directly: "My [-] cavalry soldiers died on the battlefield at least."

"But what about you? You are all like turtles, you dare not even step out of the camp, and you are worthy of laughing at me?"

"It's better to shrink your head like a turtle than to die in vain."

Xu Ran showed a sarcasm, and said, "We are a small family, but we don't want such a big family as Patriarch Hu, who doesn't feel sorry for the death of [-] cavalry."

As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't blame someone when you swear. Xu Ran's three words can't be separated from the [-] cavalry that Hu Yudong was defeated.

So Hu Yudong was enraged, and directly attacked Xu Ran personally, "Patriarch Xu is worthy of being the overlord of Wujiang County. After staying in the water for a long time, he really likes to be a turtle, right?"

"Okay, what does it look like to be noisy!"

Situ Yao abruptly interrupted the quarrel of the crowd. He looked around at these old foxes. Whether they were arguing actively or passively, these people actually had the same intention, that is, to disturb the topic just now and resolutely not to send troops.

When they have made up their minds, even if they are forced to assign them, they will definitely not obey the order.

So Situ Yao thought for a moment, and then said to his first disciple:

"Tu Yu, take someone for a walk."

　Thanks to Ji Xiyue for the reward of 1500 starting coins again, thank you very much! ! !
