Chapter 874

Young Master Liu said that after half an hour, there was no delay in attacking the city for a quarter of an hour.

When the hour hand of the sundial stayed above the position it should be, Young Master Liu gave a commander-in-chief order, and the sound of war drums resounded outside the city.

Facing Gulan City, Liu Mingzhi only dispatched [-] cavalry led by Duan Canren, and the rest were infantry. Facing the city, the advantages of the cavalry could not be brought into play at all, and would become a living target for others.

The soldiers of the Western Expedition Army may have already deeply comprehended Liu Dashao's way of using troops. If nothing else, it is covered by arrow rain and powerfully crushed by the advantages of equipment.

Especially after the three of Ye Baotong and Cheng Kai got the commander-in-chief of Young Master Liu, the arrows in their hands covered the city wall as if they didn't need money.

One feather arrow for each of the [-] archers is the consumption of [-] arrows in an instant.

It was the first time for the guard of Gulan City, Shan Lebie, to feel what fear is. Shan Lebie, holding a shield and hiding on the tower, looked at the soldiers under his command who were huddled on the crenels of the city wall and dared not move.

There are only 7 shield soldiers in the [-]-man defenders. Don't you hear the screams of the soldiers and archers under his command who are about to fight back when they are pierced by two or three feather arrows.

The advantages of equipment differences are fully reflected in this short moment!
Gu Mo Rongrong also stared dumbfounded at the arrows shooting at the top of Gulan City, covering the sky and covering the sun. She finally understood why Shacheng was captured in less than half an hour.

According to this way, the defenders on the city wall were suppressed by relying on the rain of arrows without fighting at all. It would be unreasonable for the city not to fall under this kind of offensive!

Liu Mingzhi looked at the situation above the city wall with a calm and calm face. In less than half a stick of incense, 4 people were divided into four uninterrupted shots and already consumed a full 60 feather arrows.

"Order Ye Baotong to advance the catapult fifty steps to replace the kerosene bomb!"

"Order!"

In just half a quarter of an hour, [-] catapults advanced fifty steps towards Gulan City under the cover of the shield bearers and stopped.

The torches emitting black smoke crackled and burned, and the wine jars containing the kerosene used by the common people for lighting were ignited by the torches and thrown onto the city wall.

The moment the wine jar fell on the city wall, a raging fire erupted, and the guards of Gulan City instantly turned into burning men and screamed on the city wall.

Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "His Royal Highness, order General Zasang to break through the city gate immediately, and the ladders will attack the city under the cover of archers!"

"Yes!"

Gu Mo Rongrong immediately galloped towards Zhasang's phalanx on horseback to deliver Young Master Liu's order!
"&...¥%%#&"

Liu Mingzhi suddenly heard the galloping horses on both sides and the shouts of killing and looked towards the top of the city. Unexpectedly, Shan Lebie dared to let the cavalry under his command go out of the city to meet the enemy.

However, there are only 1 guards in the entire Gulan City, and the cavalry is no more than [-] at best, and it is impossible to have more.

Sure enough, the scouts rushed over: "Report! Five thousand cavalry rushed out of the south gate and the north gate of Gulan City and rushed towards our army's phalanx!"

"Ning Chao!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead [-] light cavalry and [-] heavy cavalry to intercept the enemy from the north gate. The light cavalry is responsible for reducing the speed of the enemy cavalry. Don't fight with them, surround them and the heavy cavalry will charge immediately!"

"Order!"

"Han Peng!"

"The end is here!"

"Also lead a team of cavalry to intercept the enemy cavalry at the south gate!"

"The end will be ordered!"

Liu Mingzhi took out the binoculars and looked at the tower above Gulan City, Shanle Bie huddled behind the wall, feeling a little dignified, and finally met an opponent who made him not waste his brain power in vain!
After contemplating for a moment, First Young Master Liu directly ordered Song Qing to be on the safe side!
"Deputy General Song!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead five thousand swordsmen to help Ning Chao!"

"Order!"

"Seal Buer!"

"The end is here!"

"Rush to the aid of Han Peng!"

"The two of you do what you can to save the war horses of the Western Regions. If you can't kill them all, you can't let the brothers exchange their lives for the war horses!"

"Order!"

Just as Liu Mingzhi expected, neither the light cavalry led by Han Peng nor Ning Chao could match the cavalry of Gulan City. The riding skills of the people from the Western Regions were so exquisite that it was dazzling.

Fortunately, the two of them had already received the order and did not allow the light cavalry to meet the enemy's soldiers at all. They made a detour and engulfed the enemy's [-] cavalry in it!
As the circle gradually shrank, the cavalry in Gulan City simply did not have enough range to charge their horses.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ning Chao and Han Peng waved the order flag slightly, and the light cavalry immediately dispersed and a gap was exposed.

Seeing this, the Gulan City cavalry thought that the enemy had made a mistake, and immediately rushed towards the gap under the leadership of the leader, but the heavy cavalry who were ready to go immediately surrounded the gap with a thunderous momentum.

In terms of speed, the heavy cavalry is not one-tenth of the cavalry of the Western Regions, but once they are caught in close combat, the gap will be reflected immediately!
The battle of the cavalry was horrible. The heavy cavalry's horse spear easily penetrated the leather armor of the Gulan cavalry, but the scimitar in his hand at most left a white mark on the enemy's heavy armor.

What stunned the cavalry of Gulan City was that the necks of the soldiers of the Dalong heavy cavalry were protected by the masks on the helmets, and there was no way to attack them!
Hearing the screams of the soldiers around him, a man commanding the cavalry shouted out in Western Region dialect.

"Attack their horse legs, don't fight them in close combat, we must give full play to our advantages!"

Amidst the stunned expressions of the dragon officers and soldiers, the Gulan cavalry once again demonstrated their superb riding skills, hanging their bodies on the side of the horse's belly with the scimitar in their hands, and slashed at the horse's leg of the dragon heavy cavalry without hesitation.

The war horses neighed and wailed, and many heavy cavalry were thrown out and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.

These heavy cavalry who fell to the ground immediately followed the training method to find a slightly open place and huddled up in a ball, using thick heavy armor to protect their vital points from being trampled by the hooves of the war horses.

Ning Chao stared dumbfounded at the more than 2000 Gulan City cavalry who rushed out of the heavy cavalry phalanx by cutting off the horse's legs. He finally understood why the commander-in-chief valued the cavalry in the Western Regions so much!

Except for the legs of the horses, the heavy cavalry basically wore heavy armor, even the horses and men. Under such a desperate situation, the cavalry in Gulan City could still come up with a way to break out of the encirclement by cutting off the legs of the horses. It is simply incredible!

Ning Chao waved the command flag in his hand: "The light cavalry entangle the enemy cavalry and don't let them come back, cover the heavy cavalry brothers who fell off the horse and evacuate!"

After ordering [-] light cavalry, they immediately surrounded the cavalry in Gulan City, and the heavy cavalry who fell under their horses immediately began to support each other and withdraw from the battlefield.

As for the horse soldiers lying on the ground whining, they didn't dare to stay even though their hearts were bleeding from pain.

Although they feel sorry for their mounts, they also know that this is on the battlefield, and the most important thing is to keep people alive!
They also did not dare to disobey the commander's order, and before the expedition, the commander gave repeated orders to warn the cavalry soldiers.

"A man is always more important than a horse!"
