Chapter 132 Zhuge Liannu shows off his power!
That night, the sky was full of stars and the bright moon was shining on the yellow sand.
Under the cover of night, the Zhao army rushed towards Dingxiang City like a tiger descending from the mountain.
They divided their troops into four groups and attacked towards the four gates. In just a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky and resounded throughout the world.
"No, enemy attack!"
"Quick...quickly blow the horn to notify the general!"
The soldiers of the Great Chu in the city were horrified. Looking at the dark mass of enemy troops outside the city, they hurriedly prepared for battle while blowing the horns.
The dull horn woke up everyone in the city. Chang Hongbo stretched out his hands and let the servants put on his armor. He looked at the soldiers who came to report and said coldly:
"Why are you panicking? The walls of Dingxiang are tall, and the enemy can't easily break in. Follow me to fight the enemy and see how I can repel them!"
"Also, notify all the generals to guard the three gates in the east, north, and west of the city. No one is allowed to mobilize troops out of the city without my order!"
"Yes!"
At the command, Chang Hongbo, who had been prepared, led his troops and quickly rushed to the north of the city, and other generals also guarded the other two city gates.
With the advance deployment and the blocking of the city walls, the Zhao army was unable to attack at all.
Chang Hongbo looked coldly at the enemy troops outside the city pretending to attack the city, his face showing no joy or sadness, and a blank expression.
At this time, a soldier came to report: "General, the Prince of Penglai was attacked outside the south of the city. General Li asked if we should go out of the city to rescue him?"
Chang Hongbo narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across them: "Don't you know my order? Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the city."
"But……"
"Hmm? Are you questioning the Admiral's orders?"
"I dare not, but the Prince of Penglai is outside the city. If something unexpected happens..."
"That's enough. I will take care of it if anything happens. Just follow my orders!"
"Yes!" The messenger had no choice but to convey the message truthfully.
A quarter of an hour later, General Li in the south of the city received the order and could only sigh helplessly and ordered that no one was allowed to leave the city.
At this moment, outside the Chu Ning camp outside the city, a mighty cavalry came.
The leader was wearing a specially made black armor and a purple cloak behind him, showing his wealth and nobility. A hint of arrogance appeared on his heroic face.
As the strongest person of the younger generation of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Hao naturally has reason to be proud.
He is determined to win this battle tonight!
As long as they seize the food and military pay from Chu Ning, the morale of the Zhao army will be boosted and they can capture Dingxiang City in one fell swoop.
By then, he will be the first to achieve success.
Looking at the camp not far in front of him, listening to the shouts of killing coming from afar, and the flames rising into the sky, a sneer appeared on Tuoba Hao's face.
At this time, the soldier came to report: "General, all three city gates have been attacked!"
"very good!"
Tuoba Hao drew the sword from his waist and pointed in the direction of the camp: "All troops attack, trample the enemy camp, capture Chu Ning alive, and seize the food and military pay!"
"drive!"
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
The Zhao cavalry charged madly and in the blink of an eye they were within an arrow's reach of the camp.
Inside the camp, Chu Ning was wearing a purple royal robe, with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene in front of him with a calm expression.
I didn't expect that the other side was actually cavalry!
But it’s a good idea this way, it’s a good opportunity to test the power of the crossbowmen.
At this time, Feng Mulan rode up excitedly and said, "Let me lead the troops to fight!"
As she spoke, she drew out the heavy sword on her back!
The sword is more than five feet long, and the blade is twice as wide as that of an ordinary sword. It emits a cold light and looks very terrifying.
This is one of the two weapons made for her by Chu Ning, and was named Ju Kuo by Chu Ning!
Having finally reached the battlefield, Feng Mulan was extremely excited and wanted to rush forward and fight the enemy immediately.
But Chu Ning shook his head and chuckled, "The enemy cavalry is strong, and going out to fight at this moment will be disadvantageous to our army."
Feng Mulan rolled her eyes: "You are just a coward!"
Chen An beside him smiled bitterly and explained, "Miss Feng, the Great Zhao has strong soldiers and horses, especially their cavalry, which are the elite among the elite. We are all infantry, and it will be disadvantageous for our army to go out of the camp to fight!"
As a general who had fought against the troops of the Great Zhao, Chen An was fully aware of the strength of the troops of the Great Zhao and explained it to Chu Ning before the war.
Chu Ning's response also made him feel good about the prince. He was not eager to make achievements as soon as he arrived and went straight out of the camp to fight.
Although they currently have nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses including those coming out of the city, they are still no match for the enemy cavalry.
Judging from the large black mass of the enemy, there are at least 8,000 cavalrymen. With so many cavalrymen charging together, 30,000 infantrymen cannot stop them at all!
But Feng Mulan didn't listen to Chen An's explanation at all. She snorted coldly: "You guys are so cowardly and afraid of things. You are not even as good as a woman like me!"
"Humph, if you guys don't go, I'll take people there myself!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to give orders to her guards.
But Chu Ning chuckled and said, "This battle is just an appetizer. There is no need for Miss Feng to take action personally. Wait until I repel their attack, and then you can lead your men to harvest their heads."
Hearing that she was going to harvest heads, Feng Mulan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Chu Ning chuckled: "When did I ever lie to you?"
Feng Mulan tilted her head and thought about it.
Although this guy looked a bit unserious, it seemed that he had not deceived himself.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time!" Feng Mulan put the heavy sword back on her back.
Chu Ning waved his right hand and said, "Crossbowmen, step forward and shoot!"
At a command, Guan Yun brought a team of people armed with special bows and crossbows to the gate of the camp.
They lined up in three rows and were divided into three echelons. The archers in the front stepped forward and immediately shot arrows at the approaching Da Zhao cavalry.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Thousands of sharp arrows poured down like a rainstorm, instantly killing many of the Da Zhao cavalrymen who were rushing in the front.
Amid the screams, the Zhao cavalry became agitated, but their movements were soon covered up by the cavalry rushing up from behind.
They have only one goal, to break into the camp and capture Chu Ning alive!
But at this moment, the second wave of sharp arrows came, the dense arrows covered the sky, and the cavalrymen who rushed up fell one after another.
Tuoba Hao, who was watching the battle from behind, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why haven't you rushed over yet?"
With such a short distance, it should be possible to cross the camp fence with two charges, but his cavalry had already charged twice and failed.
At this moment, a soldier came to report with a terrified look on his face: "General, it's bad, there are many archers in the enemy camp, they have too many arrows, our army will be gone if we rush in!"
Tuoba Hao was furious when he heard this, and he grabbed the man's clothes and said viciously: "Can't you rush over while they are changing arrows?"
"General, we tried, but they seemed to be well prepared. If our people rushed forward, they would definitely be hit by sharp arrows!" the soldier explained hurriedly.
"asshole!"
Tuoba Hao threw the soldier to the ground, pointed the sword in his hand at the camp, and roared: "Personal soldiers, follow me and kill them!"
He would personally lead the team into the camp and capture Chu Ning alive!
