The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 425: Fierce Battle Outside the River Crossing City
He had always known Chu Yan'er's talent, but he had never thought that one day he would be able to fight with her.
However, he really did not take Chu Yan'er seriously. In his opinion, she was just a strange woman who was hyped up by others.
Not to mention, the 100,000 troops led by the other side were almost vulnerable. He could see the fear in the eyes of the soldiers on the wall without looking through the wall.
With such an army, what could Chu Yan'er use to fight him? He even felt that he didn't need the support of the rear army, and his 50,000 troops could capture Hedu City.
At this time, the 50,000-strong army was almost in place, and the vanguard had already formed up its battle formation, ready to attack the city at any time.
The rear army was in the process of reorganizing its troops, and it was unclear whether the formation was stable at this time.
On the city wall, Chu Yan'er saw this scene and smiled. Then, she looked to one side and said, "Send a flare!"
As her voice rang out, the soldiers on one side quickly lit the fireworks signal.
Ss ...
The generals beside him were also surprised. They looked up at the city wall with confused expressions.
However, someone came to his senses and laughed wildly, "Haha... Could it be that the Princess of Qin is frightened and wants to surrender? Or is she setting off fireworks to welcome us?!"
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of laughter from the surroundings. These people laughed so hard that they almost died on the spot.
But not long after they laughed, suddenly, countless whistling sounds came from several hills outside the city.
That’s right, the fireworks were indeed welcoming them, but they were not welcoming their arrival. Instead, they were welcoming them and seeing them off, sending them to hell!
Countless whistling sounds accompanied by mountain artillery shells covered the 50,000 troops outside the city in the blink of an eye. The dense firepower network immediately completed the precise strike.
Bang... bang... bursts of artillery fire rang out outside the city, and countless corpses were blown into the sky. The army, which had been in good order, was suddenly in chaos.
This round of attack alone caused nearly a thousand casualties to the enemy.
On the city wall, the Huaining Army had calm expressions, as if they were not surprised by such a situation. However, the Zhoufu Army was so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with shock and amazement.
Mrs. Chu was also stunned for a moment. She had never seen how powerful the Huaining Army was. She only knew that the Huaining Army had weapons made by Jiang Fan.
But they had never thought that this weapon could be so terrifying. It was simply a one-sided massacre. The enemy was beaten to a pulp before they even touched them!
Guan Changxin and a group of generals who were just laughing were almost scared to death by this sudden attack.
Several people bowed their heads and looked in horror at the army fleeing in chaos around them, their eyes full of astonishment and shock.
"General, what kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful. What should we do now?" One of the generals said in a trembling voice. He no longer had the smug look he had just shown when he was bragging. His legs were shaking!
It was the horror of the shells that frightened him. Even if he was as hard as iron, he could still see the soldiers around him being blown to death under the artillery fire. Even the most powerful people would be afraid!
There was no other way, he had seen bodies chopped in half or mutilated during battles, but he had never seen a weapon that could shatter a body into pieces like this!
He doesn't want to be torn to pieces like this anytime. It's really too damn scary!
Guan Changxin was still confused when he heard this. He didn't know how to deal with such a situation for a while. He felt that there were enemies everywhere and attacks were coming from all directions. It was useless to hide anywhere.
He no longer had the high spirits he had when he arrived at the city. All he had was despair and fear. He could capture Hedu City with just a wave of his hand. Damn, whether he could survive now was still uncertain.
The artillery fire continued, and because the Dashi Dynasty's vanguard troops were densely packed, the artillery attacks caused heavy casualties.
After four or five rounds of artillery fire, nearly 20,000 of the 50,000-man army were killed. If the remaining 30,000 had not fled quickly and dispersed a lot, they would probably have all been killed on the spot.
But they were completely in disarray, running around in all directions.
Most of them fled back the way they came, while a small number fled in both directions.
Guan Changxin led several of his generals and fled in the direction they came from. Behind him were more than 10,000 defeated soldiers, and on both sides there were nearly 10,000 soldiers each.
Seeing the defeated soldiers fleeing, the Zhoufu soldiers on the city wall showed worry on their faces, even though they had just won a great victory and they had not contributed anything.
But now seeing the enemies running away, they really want to keep them here.
Just when they thought the enemy was about to escape, suddenly, a team of 5,000 cavalrymen appeared from the direction the enemy was fleeing.
At the same time, two thousand cavalrymen appeared on both sides of the city wall. This was the Huaining Army's cavalry brigade, and they were the finishing team reserved by Chu Yan'er.
The moment they saw the cavalry appear, everyone's eyes showed anticipation, but also full of worry. After all, their numbers seemed too small.
You have to know that the enemy's vanguard also has 20,000 cavalrymen, and among those who escaped, there are more than 10,000 cavalrymen. Especially Guan Changxin's cavalrymen are even more, as many as 7,000 to 8,000.
So many cavalrymen against 5,000 cavalrymen should be overwhelming. But just when the Zhoufu army thought so.
The Huaining cavalry who were in ambush launched a charge, holding Mo Dao in their hands and shouting loudly.
When Guan Changxin saw the Huaining cavalry that came to intercept him, he was shocked and then looked disdainful. Even if they were a defeated army, they could not be stopped by the 5,000 cavalry in front of him.
He shouted loudly and led the cavalry to charge towards the Huaining cavalry on the opposite side.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but at the moment they collided with the Huaining cavalry, the Mo Dao in the hands of the Huaining cavalry on the opposite side fell down.
As the powerful energy collided, the cavalry on his side was almost slaughtered one-sidedly. The Mo Dao passed by, all was blood, and countless cavalry were cut off their horses.
Guan Changxin was even knocked off his horse by a single blow of the sword. Despite his strength as a first-class master, he was actually knocked down by a single blow of the opposing cavalry during the confrontation.
How is this possible?! He looked at the female general who had killed him with shock in his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
Compared with him, the opponent's strength might be even weaker, but he couldn't even block the opponent's sword, and the big sword in his hand was cut into two pieces by one sword.
At the same time, the female general rushed over again, and the long sword in her hand chopped down on his head. He came to his senses and quickly drew the long sword at his waist to resist.
