It took Zhao Chen and the others almost six hours to arrive outside Ying County. They carefully hid their tracks. All the troops were hidden in a forest outside the city. Zhao Chen, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and some generals were together to announce the battle arrangements for tonight.
"Right now, we are less than a kilometer away from Ying County. Let the troops rest and recover their strength.”Zhao Chen said first. The rest of the generals nodded in agreement, and several of them had already gone to order the entire army to rest.
After seeing their reactions, Zhao Chen continued,""Next, Gao Shun, you will personally lead the Breaking Ranks Battalion and secretly climb up from the more remote city walls of Ying County City. After that, you will deal with the guards on the spot and open the city gates. There will be people who will help you, so you have to be careful. By the way, remember to light a few more bonfires on the city wall after completing the mission, so that the cavalry can charge forward and illuminate the target.”
After Gao Shun heard this, he immediately replied,"Yes, General. I will definitely complete the mission.”
After that, Zhao Chen arranged the direction of the next attack, the order, and a series of other things. Finally, Zhao Chen concluded,"This is the first battle of our Zhao Army. We must succeed in one battle and not fail, especially Gao Shun. It's time to show the results of your training in the Breaking Ranks Camp. Your place is the focus of our plan. You must be more careful. Alright, go back and rest. Prepare for the night attack at dawn.”All the soldiers nodded.
Zhao Chen was left standing in an empty space. He looked up at the sky and then turned to look at Ying County not far away."It's finally time for the real battle. I can't lose this battle. I have to show off our might in one battle. Only then can I truly stand firm in the army and spread my name throughout the six dynasties.
Zhao Chen was nervously waiting for the battle to begin. This time, he and all the soldiers of the Zhao Army had a reason to win.
Soon, dawn arrived. The sky had yet to brighten, and only the horizon was slightly white. The Ying County soldiers on the wall were still sleeping soundly. Zhao Chen and the others had begun their plan. Gao Shun led 200 men to climb up the city wall, while Zhao Chen and the others nervously watched their movements.
Gao Shun and the others threw the hooks and ropes onto the city wall. With a slight clang, all the ropes were ready. A soldier on the city wall suddenly woke up first. Gao Shun and the others, who were at the corner of the wall, were shocked. They hurriedly got all the soldiers to lean against the wall and wait for the enemy to leave. Zhao Chen, who was far away, saw this and broke out in a cold sweat. They all gritted their teeth and stared nervously at the city wall not far away.
Just as the guard was about to come forward to check what the noise was, a flying knife suddenly shot out from the dark and pierced into his throat. He covered his wound and fell down with a whimper. Finally, dozens of shadow guards in black armor and black scarves suddenly jumped out of nowhere. They held daggers and light crossbows and began to massacre the sleeping enemy guards. Daggers quickly slashed across the enemy's throat and they lost consciousness in their sleep. Some even used light crossbows to shoot at the patrolling soldiers in the distance, killing them all to prevent alerting the defenders on the other side.
After completing these actions, the Shadow Guards waved at Gao Shun, who was below, to signal for them to quickly climb up. When Gao Shun saw this, he knew that this was the Shadow Guards that Zhao Chen had arranged in advance to help him in secret. Hence, he quickly ordered all the troops to quickly climb up. Not long after, all the soldiers of the Breaking Ranks came up to the city wall. The moment they came up, they immediately formed a formation and stood guard everywhere.
A leader of the shadow guards walked in front of Gao Shun and bowed to him. He reported,"" General, I'm here to help you attack. You can go and wipe out the enemies on the city walls. I'll lead my men to open the city gates and welcome the army into the city. Gao Shun nodded in agreement to his plan. He immediately led his subordinates and divided them into several small groups. They held bows and crossbows and began to clean up the defenders on the city wall. The Shadow Guards came to the city gates and prepared to open them to let the army in.
"Who is it?" A city gate guard shouted at the Shadow Guards who were already approaching the city gate. The leader of the Shadow Guards waved his hand, and all the Shadow Guards aimed their bows at the city gate guards and fired at them.”Hundreds of arrows were fired at them, and the arrows left holes in the guards 'bodies. Blood splattered everywhere, and in a short while, all the soldiers died on the spot.
The leader of the shadow guards led his subordinates and stabbed the corpses in their vital points several times. Finally, under the command of the leader, the gates slowly opened. With a creaking sound, the gates that were originally tightly shut finally opened. This was Gao Shun's completion of his mission. All the guards had been killed and they came to the city gate to meet up and wait for the arrival of the army.
Zhao Chen and the others, who were waiting in the forest, saw the city gate open. They immediately jumped on their horses and shouted,"All troops, attack! Kill!" All of the cavalrymen followed Zhao Chen and charged straight for the city gate. "Great Qin's Cavalry, kill, kill, kill!" The deafening sound of horse hooves could be heard coming from afar, waking up the residents of Ying County who were still sleeping soundly.
The rest of the soldiers also charged towards the city. Their chants spread out in all directions." If you break through the formation, you will die!”、"Flying bear, flying bear, until death do us part!"
It added a lot of smoke and liveliness to the originally quiet and deserted wilderness and the city. All the residents who had been awoken quickly pressed against the doors and windows and hid in their houses, waiting for the final result in fear. The soldiers in the military camp also got up from their beds in panic, quickly picked up their weapons, and rushed out. Some of them did not even have time to put on their armor. In the middle of the city, the Zhao army lieutenant also quickly gathered his personal guards to organize their equipment and prepare to fight the enemy.
On the flat, narrow street, Zhao Chen was wearing a purple gold armor and holding a purple gold halberd. He took the lead and killed the panicked enemy soldiers who rushed out of the camp. His halberd was like a dragon that came out of the sea. It was swift and fierce, and cold light flashed. From time to time, he would slash, sweep, and stab the soldiers who blocked the road. Only a red dot was left on their bodies, or they were directly sent flying by Zhao Chen. Broken limbs flew everywhere. His speed was very fast, and the cavalry behind him was the same. A long spear danced in front of him, causing cold stars to appear. Along the way, the enemy soldiers fell to the ground one after another. It was simply invincible.
Like a sharp arrow, the crowd was split into several parts, which were then surrounded by the flying bear army of the last Breaking Formation Camp with bows and long sabers.
Killing, killing, killing. The armored soldiers didn't advance, but from behind, crossbows and crossbows would shoot out. In front, the sword-shield soldiers were at the front, while the spearmen and crossbowmen were at the back. As the sword-shield soldiers blocked the enemy's attack, the spearmen would attack from behind. The enemies in front of them fell like wheat being harvested. Blood flowed on the ground, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Just as Zhao Chen was leading his army to kill the enemy, a huge railing suddenly appeared in front of him. A general in armor was setting up a defense line under the command post. Rows of nearly 200 crossbowmen were firing at Zhao Chen in unison, wanting to kill him on the spot. Zhao Chen knew that this general might be the highest commander of the enemy. As long as he killed him, the battle would be won.
Thus, he spurred his horse to gallop wildly. He brandished his halberd, and the Genuine Qi in his body surged, forming a circular red barrier. After blocking the arrows, Zhao Chen infused his True Qi into the Purple Gold Glass Halberd and used the Ghost God Halberd Technique.
"Unparalleled Demon God! Kill!"
A huge halberd light condensed on his halberd and swept across his target. A huge line of marks formed under the red light and went straight for the railing, knocking it and the soldiers behind it to the ground. Many people were directly shattered into pieces by the red light and died without a complete corpse. It was shocking. The rest were also heavily injured, and the general was directly turned into ashes by Zhao Chen's halberd technique. The soldiers beside him were shocked. Zhao Chen took the opportunity to turn around and continue killing the enemy. This time, he directly used his ultimate move. Rays of red halberd light shot out in all directions. Wherever it went, the enemy troops suffered heavy casualties. The deaths were terrifying, forcing them to abandon their weapons and surrender.
In the end, under Zhao Chen's fierce attacks, about 500 of the enemy troops at the front knelt down and surrendered. The Breaking Ranks Camp and Flying Bear Army behind them were also invincible under the leadership of Gao Shun and Xu Rong. The battle against the enemy was also quickly concluded. They quickly led their troops to meet up with Zhao Chen and brought the captives over to be unified with Zhao Chen.
After reporting to Zhao Chen, they began to clean up the battlefield and count the losses. They collected the dead soldiers and buried the others to prevent the plague from spreading.
