The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 445: Conquering the Acropolis
He felt that he was overthinking. The South Gate should be the same as he thought. There was no ambush. The enemy had limited manpower and would definitely not waste extra manpower at the South Gate!
But just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart, and his keen perception of danger made him look up and forward in horror.
At this moment, countless fireballs appeared from nowhere and immediately fell into their team. Then, the fireballs exploded, and countless cries and screams rang out one after another.
Then, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded from another direction. Duanmu Xiu saw thousands of cavalrymen appearing there.
Judging from the number, there are at least 5,000 cavalrymen. Even so, the strength of this cavalry is only one-third of the strength he has.
But they were cavalry. Even if there were 30,000 of them, he was not sure he could fight against 5,000 cavalry.
In his fear, he watched the cavalry charging towards him. The leader was Niu Wu. The moment he saw Niu Wu, Duanmu Xiu's pupils shrank slightly.
Isn't this man a general who follows the Princess of Chu? How could he appear in the army where the King of Qin is? Logically speaking, the King of Qin should be coming straight to them from the capital.
If the other party had entered the army of the Princess of Chu first, Jiang Yuecheng should have received a letter by carrier pigeon.
How could he know that Jiang Fan had already asked Chu Yan'er to hand over the 10,000 troops of Lianyun Eighteen Village to him! Help Jiang Fan capture this acropolis.
As for Duanmu Xiu's intention to escape from the south gate, Jiang Fan had already guessed it. In other words, no matter which gate Duanmu Xiu escaped from, he would be ambushed.
It’s just that there are more or fewer people ambushing him.
There were also more than 2,000 ambushes at the north gate and the west gate. Even if Duanmu Xiu's 10,000-plus troops encountered the 2,000-plus Lianyun Eighteen Villages army, they would eventually be defeated.
At most, the other two gates might have to go through a fierce battle. As for the 5,000 people at the South Gate, it was different. Killing Duanmu Xiu's 10,000 people would be like chopping melons and vegetables.
Niu Wu led the way, and the cavalry behind him rushed over like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided, and the baptism of blood and fire broke out at this moment.
The Mo Dao in Niu Wu's hand chopped down an enemy soldier with one blow. With such amazing power and sharp blade, he chopped down several people in the blink of an eye.
Wherever the cavalry passed, only blood and mutilated bodies were left. This was only the first round of attack, and the more than 10,000 people on Duanmu Xiu's side were defeated and scattered.
The battle situation was heading towards an irreversible trend. Duanmu Xiu saw this, gritted his teeth, raised his gun and rushed towards Niu Wu.
The spear in his hand burst out with unparalleled power and stabbed towards Niu Wu. Seeing Duanmu Xiu rushing towards him, Niu Wu sneered and went to meet him, slashing down with the Mo Dao in his hand.
Facing the thunderous might of the sword, Duanmu Xiu quickly drew his spear to block it. With a crisp sound, the spear just blocked the sword and it was cut in two by the sword.
Before he understood what was happening, Mo Dao chopped down on his head. Duanmu Xiu only had time to move the knife to the side, and although he avoided the end of his head bursting into pieces, Mo Dao chopped off half of his shoulder, exposing his internal organs.
A feeling of powerlessness surged from Duanmu Xiu's heart. He looked at Niu Wu unwillingly and could only watch as the other party chopped off his head with his sword.
Duanmu Xiu was killed after only two moves with Niu Wu. It was not because his fighting power was much lower than Niu Wu's, but because his weapon was not as good as Niu Wu's.
Before he died, Duanmu Xiu was filled with fear. He knew that the Great Western Dynasty was finished! With such an army and the terrifying weapons in their hands, the Great Western Dynasty had no power to resist.
It was ridiculous that they still thought that Dayan just didn't dare to attack. He only realized now that Dayan didn't want to attack, but had other considerations.
The battle lasted for a little over half an hour. Nearly ten thousand of the enemy's ten thousand soldiers were killed. The remaining soldiers had already been frightened by the killing and chose to surrender directly.
Among them, more than 10,000 people were killed because the Lianyun Army could not stop, otherwise, they would not have died so quickly.
As Duanmu Xiuhe's army was destroyed, the enemy troops fleeing outside the other two city gates were also destroyed. The enemy troops in the city surrendered or were killed.
The battle took only an hour to be resolved. The Acropolis was recaptured. Of the 50,000 Dashi troops, nearly 20,000 were captured. The rest were all killed!
At the same time, in another Acropolis, Chu Xiaolan was carrying the head of the commander of this Acropolis and leading the army to retreat.
Following Jiang Fan's instructions, Chu Yan'er dispatched 20,000 Huaining troops, and in cooperation with the 10,000 troops from the Eighteen Lianyun Villages, they raided the Acropolis.
With the support of artillery, the gate of the Acropolis was vulnerable, and the army of Lianyun Eighteen Villages was trapped at three gates and encircled and suppressed the escaping enemies.
The two citadels returned to Dayan, and more than 40,000 of the 100,000 Great Western Dynasty troops were captured, and the remaining nearly 50,000 people were completely left in Dayan. They could never go home again!
After Jiang Fan solved the problem of one Acropolis, he only left a thousand people to guard the city and appease the people in the city.
He led the army to Jiangyue City. On the way, Guan Yizhong, who was in the prison car, looked at Duanmu Xiu's head in the car. He shrank aside in fear, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
He never imagined that the Dashi Army, which he thought was supposed to be rampant all over the world, would be so weak. Fifty thousand men defended a city, but they couldn't even hold it for an hour and a half.
He was in the prisoner car outside the city, and saw the city fall with his own eyes. He also saw someone send Duanmu Xiu's head back with his own eyes.
His heart was dead and there was only a last glimmer of light left in his eyes. Although Jiang Fan had recaptured the Acropolis, their Daxi Dynasty still occupied the last Jiangyue City.
As long as we can hold out until the army arrives in Zhenxi, it is still unknown who will win the battle.
He didn't know that Jiang Fan could easily break the city, but if his brother was determined to defend the city at all costs, Jiang Fan would not be able to capture Jiangyue City.
The army soon arrived at the military camp outside Jiangyue City, and Jiang Fan also saw Chu Yan'er.
The moment she saw Jiang Fan, Chu Yan'er ignored the looks of the people around her and threw herself into Jiang Fan's arms like a young swallow, with deep longing and tenderness in her eyes.
When the generals on the side saw this scene, they all retreated tactfully. Chu Xinghe and Ning Zhen looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
Mrs. Chu looked at Jiang Fan and her daughter with an angry look, then turned and left.
"Brother Fan, do you miss Yan'er? I heard that you recently married a beautiful wife. Why don't you bring her back for Yan'er to meet her?" Chu Yan'er said in Jiang Fan's arms, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
When Jiang Fan heard this, his face was immediately filled with embarrassment.
Although Chu Yan'er is open-minded, she has two wives on her left and right. It would be a lie to say that Chu Yan'er is not jealous!
