The Era of Generals

Chapter 284: ?????? The wailing before dawn

Dawn is the beginning of the day, but it is also the most exhausting time for a person who stays up all night.

   Especially for the border coalition guards who guarded most of the night.

   It's been almost two days since I came to Xifeng City, except for the first day when both sides had... No, it should be said that after one round of unilateral play, there was no movement from both sides.

   There is no movement, and I know that there are few people on the other side, and there is a high probability that they will stick to the city.

   In that case, it is better to open one eye and close one eye...

In the camp of the border coalition forces, except for the soldiers in the camp, they were sleeping soundly, and even the guards were standing guard. At this time, the few who did not sleep were yawning again and again. Who has the spirit to observe the situation closely, and only looks forward to the shift time. Hurry up so that you can go back to your account to make up for your sleepiness.

   The most ridiculous thing is that the torch on the side of the camp has been extinguished at some point, but no one is going to light it again.

   too lazy to move.

   Chen Ze had noticed this situation a long time ago in the city, but he just didn't move.

   Compared with the relaxation of the frontier coalition forces, Chen Ze has always maintained a neat army, regardless of whether there is movement or not, and he has never relaxed his surveillance of the situation outside the city.

This is the influence of the commander of an army on his opponents. Chen Ze has been staying in the city for the past two days. If he takes the lead as an example, the soldiers under his command will not be sloppy. On the contrary, the commander of the border coalition, Bao But Jianye was serving delicious food and drinks every day. He didn't plan to attack the city just waiting to exhaust the other party's resources.

   Two-phase and one-to-one comparison.

  The consequence of this is that even at dawn, the extremely important thing of Xifeng City's closed gate was opened, but it was not discovered by the border coalition guard in the first place.

   Although Meng Yang is bluffing, he is also a person who knows the severity.

   Don't look at his arrogant and dry clouds inside the city gate, and his voice shook everywhere. Once he was out of the city, his mouth was closed tighter than anyone else.

   Fifty thousand cavalry, with thick cotton cloth tied to their horses' hoofs. Although they cannot be silent while they are marching, the slight noise is not something that can be heard at will by the enemy camp two miles away.

  Chen Ze has been paying attention to the situation on the opposite side from the front of the city, while under the city, Meng Yang has led the army and started slowly accelerating towards the enemy camp.

It is said to be slow, but with the blessing of Ma Teng's skills, the speed is still faster than usual. After the cavalry, the catapults loaded with huge stone kerosene were also pushed out one by one, under the cover of the cavalry. , Li Quanan is commanding the soldiers to open their positions.

   The catapult doesn't have to be pushed too far forward. With Cheng Yu's ambush skills, this ultra-long-distance catapult will be a nightmare for the opponent.

   Two miles, one and a half miles, one mile!

   Meng Yang pinched steps in his heart, squinted a pair of big copper bell eyes, and stared closely to the front.

   Finally, when he was only one mile away from the opponent, he saw that the sentry at the entrance of the enemy camp began to move.

   The first thing that changed was that the extinguished torch on the side of the camp gate was reignited.

   At the same time the flames were together, this seemed to be a signal to Meng Yang, causing his slightly squinted eyes to suddenly widen.

   At the same time, Chen Ze sent instructions through the star system...to attack!

   "Kill!"

Meng Yang, who had been holding his breath for a long time, suddenly yelled. Although this roar was not as special as Zhang Fei, it was also stunned. Even if it was one mile away, those border coalition soldiers who were sleeping in their dreams We also felt a thunder in their heads.

"kill!"

As soon as Meng Yang moved, the horses and the horses were as fast as lightning. One person and one shot had already rushed into the enemy camp. Encouraged by this, the 50,000 cavalry behind him were even brighter with red eyes. Switch to charge mode.

Thanks to the acceleration effect brought by Ma Teng, the charge of fifty thousand cavalry can reach its heyday earlier, the distance of more than one mile is being shortened rapidly at this time, and almost the killing word is still echoing in the air. At that time, the frontal arrow-shaped formation had already crossed most of the distance.

   However, it is faster than the cavalry charge, but it is the shooting stars that are burning vigorously across the arc of death in mid-air!

   The catapult was also firing at the same time!

Forty slings covered with kerosene with smoke-bearing tail fins almost illuminate the dim sky in an instant. Forty meteors passed by, and the landing point was that the border coalition forces had not fallen asleep. Sober camp!

   "Quick...Quick...Run!"

   The timing of the attack of Meng Yang and the others was when the other sentry noticed that there was a difference, and just discovered that there were dark and oppressive people approaching them.

   At first, the guards thought that they were dazzled, so they remembered that the torch at the camp gate was half extinguished, so they thought of lighting the torch and then looking at it.

   So what they saw was the cavalry rushing violently from the land, and the bolide coming in mid-air!

   What else can I do at this time?

   Being able to yell in a loud voice, to remind the fellow robes in the camp, is the most benevolent.

   The guards who yelled out of human instinct, just before the bolide was about to approach, all of them hugged their heads and ran for their lives on both sides of the camp frantically.

For a full mile, Meng Yang hadn’t even seen an enemy coming out to stand in the way. He even had to rein in the horse’s head first and let the slinging offensive start later because he was charging too fast. .

   So he was right in front of his eyes, and the flames started!

   Boom!

   Boom boom boom!

   Without any precaution, forty huge flame slings bloomed in the camp of the border coalition army, blowing up sparks in the canopy.

   "The enemy... the enemy attack!"

   The sleeping enemy camp was finally awakened, and screams of horror sounded almost simultaneously, but there was no time.

  Many of the camps were burned immediately when the fireball fell, and the people inside didn't even have time to say a word, so the account was taken.

   And this is lucky, at least I didn't feel much pain before dying.

   The worst thing is the soldiers who were swallowed by flames, and are now wailing and rolling all over the camp in the camp.

Burning men jumped in front of Meng Yang's eyes, and the camps that had not been hit were also affected. As a result, more camps were lit, and more burnt men rushed out of them, and passed on because of this. To the camp farther away.

   The defenseless enemy battalion was completely stunned by this sudden sling.

   At least a quarter of the vast camp was on fire in an instant, and there were countless soldiers who were smashed to death and burned to death.

   Even Meng Yang was stunned.

   This charge... how can you go down?

   They charged forward, they were meant to provide cover for the catapult behind. If the enemy is prepared, their cavalry can provide sufficient time for the catapult behind to attack.

   But at this time... do you still need it?
