The Era of Generals

"Back, fast back!"

In any case, Huang Chengjian couldn't wait to die.

The 500,000 elite soldiers are led by him, but it is not his, but Master Zheng. He is only a temporary commander!

So, how dare he run away alone at this time, regardless of the lives of his soldiers?

The snake is headless, and the troops are suddenly attacked. If he, the highest commander on the spot, patted his **** and left, it would be a heavy blow to the already low morale.

It is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.

In this way, even if he escaped his life, how could he explain to Master Zheng?

Even if he could not die this time, what awaited him was still the consequence of being sent to a military court.

In the end, isn't it still dead?

In the end, not only did he not die on the battlefield, but he would be sentenced to deserter and died on the gallows in shame. Not only that, he would also affect his family, his wife and children, his young and old, and he would be stigmatized. Every family will be cut off because of his sins.

So, does Huang Chengjian dare to retreat?

He didn't dare.

At this moment, not only could he not retreat, but he had to do his best to keep the army. If he could protect one more soldier, he would be less guilty.

Master Zheng once sent him a ringing arrow, telling him to give up the siege!

Huang Chengjian regretted this, but because of a difference in thought, he did not follow Zheng Yuanyun's orders and chose to forcibly attack the opponent's gate at this time.

However, what was exchanged was such a result?

I thought that other people's troops were insufficient, and they could let them play at the gate on the left, but look at it now, where is his-mother-deficiency?

The defender on the left side of the city is clearly not lower than the main gate, and there are also many trebuchets.

Mingjin's order to retreat was issued after all, and it rang like a sound, as if the death knell was ringing, and the soldiers who knew something wrong were also rushing back frantically.

But the road of siege, which was obviously easy when it came, was so difficult to go back when it came back.

At every step, the brother fell to the ground with an arrow, and at every step, there was a falling rock explosion beside him with billowing flames.

After a short journey, the soldiers of the Qingyang Empire felt like they had walked out of Huangquan Road. Yes, it was Huangquan Road. During their walk, they felt that one foot was in the sun and the other was in the underworld.

The shouts from all around me can't be heard clearly, and the sound of falling rocks and explosions sounded so illusory and misty, like ringing in my ears, and like a dream.

"Fight back, fight back!"

Huang Chengjian roared frantically in the back.

When the leading troops sprinted, he also ordered the catapult troops to press forward, but the speed of the light cavalry was too fast at that time, and the team was temporarily out of touch.

But it didn't matter at that time.

After all, the offensive on the top of the city is dispensable, and the sparse falling rocks and the scattered arrows cannot cause any substantial casualties to their troops.

Therefore, the sling-struggled troops advanced slowly, and it did not affect Huang Chengjian's troops to bombard the opponent's city gate.

But at this moment, he urgently needs a catapult to repel his soldiers to retreat, but...

However, the reason why the catapult troops were dispensable at the time was because Huang Chengjian didn't have many catapults available at all.

He attacked after bypassing.

What is a surprise attack?

If the speed is not fast enough, how can it be worthy of the word raid?

In order to get to the destination as soon as possible, and because Huang Chengjian's troops are mainly light cavalry, when he came under his command, there were not many catapults for him, and he didn't need it.

But now he needed it. He turned his head and saw that his own catapult was only a hundred. Compared with the densely packed slings from the other side's city, Huang Chengjian reminded Huang Chengjian of the saying that an egg hits a stone for no reason.

Unfortunately, he can only bite the bullet!

Fortunately, the soldiers who were retreating attracted most of the firepower of the city, and this allowed the catapult troops to quickly advance to the area where they could attack the city.

Although the artillery fired was not satisfactory, it still delayed the opponent's offensive, and bought a little bit of escape time for the soldiers on the side.

But it was just a volley.

Huang Chengjian's catapult was attacked from bottom to top, and the attack range would inevitably be shorter. In order to reach the head of the city, of course they could only risk advancing to the distance where the opponent could attack them.

As a result, this fire immediately attracted the attention of the opposing catapult troops.

There is no need to deliberately target it, Tianyuan City has only divided one-third of the catapults, aiming at Huang Chengjian's side for a round of volleys, and he can only watch his poor little catapults. The troops were killed in flames.

It's gone!

Helpless Huang Chengjian only had time to remember his subordinates, and then returned his attention to the battlefield.

How much time has this been delayed?

What he could see when he looked back was still only his own soldiers who were caught in the artillery fire.

"You, go back and tell Master Zheng, ask for support!"

In desperation, Huang Chengjian had to jump off his horse and rushed to report to him at a very fast speed. At this time, the messenger with a dumbfounded expression yelled.

He thought it very clearly that he was only relying on himself, fearing that he would not be able to get out of the trap, and the only person who could still ask for help at the moment was Master Zheng.

Although Master Zheng's troops are not much, it is precisely because they are not many that he can't tolerate the losses here.

At the moment, he can only request Master Zheng to come to the battlefield as soon as possible and gather all the troops on both sides of them, in order to take back as many soldiers as possible at this moment.

Soldier!

Huang Chengjian's heart is dripping blood~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the past, he would never look at the soldiers at the bottom, but now they are the only resources that the generals desperately want to keep.

If there are generals and no soldiers, what kind of battles are there?

"Quick, fast!"

Seeing that the messenger was still stunned, Huang Chengjian, who was angry from his heart, wanted to kick him back.

"By the way, ring the arrow!"

It was also angrily attacking his heart. He forgot to send the faster arrow, hurriedly grabbed the bow and arrow from his messenger, then drew out the special arrow and hurriedly fiddled with it, engraving the signal to ask for support. middle.

However, Huang Chengjian, who was eagerly scorched, would know that his last hope at the moment, in fact...has already retreated when he just started to attack the city.

He didn't even know that even if he chose to take the lead in running away regardless of the soldiers' lives, Zheng Yuanyun would not blame him afterwards.

Because Zheng Yuanyun actually made the same choice long ago.
