Chapter 0066 Tragic
On the wall of Fangcheng, the city commander had already turned pale with fear. The Qihuo Army camp was in chaos, with flames rising to the sky. With the help of the flames, they could clearly see countless cavalrymen rushing through the camp. The Sui army on the opposite side had no chance to resist and were killed one after another. The city commander did not dare to believe what would happen if his army joined in at the beginning. Perhaps his soldiers would have been killed cleanly, and Fangcheng would not be able to defend at all.
"If we provide support at this time, I'm afraid Fangcheng's soldiers and horses will have been completely destroyed, and they will not be able to defend Fangcheng at all. You and I will also be killed by the enemy." Wu Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Master Yin Shi and his disciple to win. It would be best if he could let them suffer a defeat.
"General, you are right. General, you are right." Fang Chengling nodded repeatedly and looked at Wu Yunzhao with gratitude.
"The one on the city wall is the city commander. Following General Yin's orders, lead the soldiers in the city to attack immediately. We will attack from the front and back and eliminate the rebels." At this time, a cavalryman came riding up from under the city wall, raised his head and shouted loudly.
"General Yun, what should we do?" Fang Chengling looked panicked. Yin Shishi in Guanzhong was not so easy to deal with. After this incident, who knew whether Yin Shishi would cause trouble for him.
"What should we do? Our mission is to defend Fangcheng, not to go out of the city to attack the enemy. We only have so many people. It's already good enough to be able to protect Fangcheng. Can we do anything else? Isn't this a big joke? Anyway, I won't go out of the city." Wu Yunzhao shook his head without thinking. Not to mention that he would not help Yin Shishi, what's more, in Wu Yunzhao's view, even if he sent troops, he might not be able to defeat Li Yu. In this case, it is better to follow Yuan Zhao's instructions and defend Fangcheng.
The messenger below the city shouted for a long time, but no one on the city wall paid any attention, so he immediately ran back cursing. In the camp, the situation of the Sui army was getting worse and worse. The soldiers led by Xie Yingdeng fought steadily and killed the enemy step by step. Many young and strong men joined them along the way. The old and young in these young and strong families were basically killed by Yin Shishi. Most of those who could stay were young and strong. These people followed Xie Yingdeng, picked up weapons from the ground, charged forward, and fought crazily, ignoring their injuries. They were killed by the Qihuo Army and retreated again and again.
Li Yu's cavalry ignored Yin Shishi's army. He just led the cavalry to charge inside the big tent. Whenever the enemy showed signs of uniting, he led the cavalry to kill them and drove the enemy away. As a result, the camp was filled with scattered Sui troops, making it easy for the Qihuo army to kill them.
Yin Shishi wanted to cry at this time. He felt that Li Yu was so hateful. He led the cavalry to follow closely, but could not catch up with Li Yu's cavalry at all. Instead, his own army was almost killed by Li Yu and fled in all directions. They could not pose any threat to Li Yu at all , and even escaped under the attack of Li Yu and the Qihuo Army.
"Damn guy." Yin Hongzhi felt the same way.
The situation that was sure to win had turned out like this, which made Yin Hongzhi feel a little uneasy. He turned his horse's head and searched for the infuriating figure in the crowd. Finally, he saw Li Yu, charging into the crowd with a sword in hand. The sword in his hand had only two moves, blocking and chopping. Although the moves were simple, they could not withstand his powerful strength. Even if the opponent was armed with a lance or a spear, the huge sword blocked the enemy's attack route, and then with the help of the speed of the warhorse, no one could resist it with one slash.
"Let's go and meet them." Yin Hongzhi saw his father leading the cavalry following closely behind, and immediately said to the personal soldiers around him. More than a dozen people also swarmed forward, ready to intercept Li Yu.
"Li Yu, prepare to die!" The long spear in Yin Hongzhi's hand flashed in the night sky like a poisonous dragon, and stabbed directly at Li Yu's chest.
"Dang." There was a sound of metal clashing, and the long spear pierced the blade. A spark burst out, and then a huge force was felt coming from the long spear. The long spear immediately moved aside, and then what came into view was a ray of knife light, shining coldly under the firelight. Yin Hongzhi had not reacted yet, so he could only block the long spear. A huge force hit the long spear, and Yin Hongzhi's face turned red.
It is true that an inch longer is an inch stronger, but after losing the distance advantage, the remaining is an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. After all, Yin Hongzhi was born in a famous family, so he was not panicked in the face of battle. He endured the pain in his hands and prepared to use the advantage of the warhorse to gradually increase the distance between him and Li Yu. Unfortunately, in the chaos of the army, this situation was impossible to achieve, and Li Yu's sword was always on his side.
"Li Yu, you are looking for death." At this time, another long spear appeared in the void and stabbed towards Li Yu. Helplessly, Li Yu could only give up Yin Hongzhi on the opposite side and block Yin Shishi who was coming from behind.
"Haha, Li Yu, today is the day you die." Yin Hongzhi got a chance to catch his breath, and immediately distanced himself from Li Yu, waving the long spear in his hand. The father and son circled around Li Yu, and now it was Li Yu's turn to be unlucky. Not only was the weapon in his hand short, but he was also outnumbered two. He could only swing his sword faster to block the two men.
"Shameless." A sharp whistle suddenly came from the distance, and then a whistling sound was heard in the night sky, followed by a scream. Yin Shishi hugged his arms and looked into the distance with red eyes.
Li Yu looked over and saw Xie Yingdeng in the distance putting away his bow and arrow, and rushing over with a spear in hand. A number of soldiers followed closely behind him, ready to surround Master Yin Shi and his disciple.
"Da Lang, let's go." Seeing this, Yin Shishi took a deep breath, not daring to stay any longer, turned his horse around, and prepared to flee. Yin Hongzhi saw that his father had already retreated, so he dared not stay, and followed closely behind. As for the remaining soldiers, they ignored him, shouted to retreat along the way, and then fled. However, Li Yu led the cavalry to charge and kill for a while.
The army did not withdraw until early morning. When Li Yu returned to the battlefield, Cen Wenben was leading his men to clean up the battlefield. The battlefield was littered with corpses, including those of the Beggars' Army and the Sui Army. Compared to the two, there were more refugees following the Beggars' Army. There were corpses in thin clothes everywhere, and the battlefield was filled with cries.
"General." Cen Wenben and others saw Li Yu coming on a war horse and hurried to meet him.
"Are there heavy casualties?" Li Yu looked at the battlefield in the distance, not caring about the aches all over his body, and asked quickly.
"It was mainly the elderly, the weak, women and children, almost all of them were lost. Most of the babies born were young and strong." Cen Wenben said bitterly.
"It is all my fault that I was incompetent and failed to protect the old camp. Please forgive me, General." Xie Yingdeng dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee .
"This matter has nothing to do with the general. It is because I, Li Yu, did not think carefully. If there is any crime, it is my fault." Li Yu quickly helped Xie Yingdeng up and said with a wry smile: "If it were not for big brother, I would have been injured last night. What crime have you committed?"
