Chapter 2514 Black Knights vs. Golden Wolf Guards, Jiu Gong vs. Wang Zhengdao
Because a breach appeared in the southern city wall of Shangjing Prefecture, a large number of the garrison troops of Shangjing Prefecture were mobilized there.
However, not only did they fail to plug the breach in the southern city wall in time, the defenses in the other directions were also weakened and were subsequently breached by the Han army under Wen Zhong's fierce attack.
Although the veteran general Wen Zhong was the commander, he personally braved the enemy's arrows and led the troops to the front lines.
Yelü Su, Yelü Abaoji's half-brother, personally led his troops to block Wen Zhong, but was shot dead on the spot by Hou Yi, who had also climbed the city wall.
After Yelü Su died in battle, Guo Yongchang, Cheng Zhunahai, Zu Xing, and Li Yi tried to take over the overall situation, but unfortunately, they were not skilled enough. Wen Zhong and Hou Yi joined forces and killed all four of them on the spot in less than ten rounds.
Among them, Guo Yongchang was knocked off the city wall by Wen Zhong's whip, while Cheng Zhunahai was kicked to the ground by Wen Zhong and crashed into a broken spear on the ground.
Zu Xing was killed on the spot by Hou Yi's spear. Seeing that all his companions had died in battle, Li Yi tried to escape in a state of panic, but was shot dead by Hou Yi's arrow.
Exposing one's back to an archer is tantamount to throwing one's life away.
Following the fall of the southern city wall, the northern city wall, which Wen Zhong was in charge of, was also officially declared breached.
The Dongyi ministers Han Kuangsi, Zhao Tingmu, Kang Bingjian and others organized their troops one by one, trying to slow down Wen Zhong in the street fighting. However, facing the elite Han army, even with their familiarity with the city, they could only stop Wen Zhong for a moment.
After that, they were directly swallowed up by countless Han soldiers. Among the three, Han Kuangsi, who held the highest position, was even shot and killed by Hou Yi himself.
Yelü Abaoji assigned the local renowned general Qi Shu to guard the western city wall.
This person was originally Yelü Defei's chief general, a brave and resourceful individual. He not only had a command stat of 98 points, but also a basic martial prowess stat of 103 points, making him a worthy contender among all the Heavenly-level figures.
In the previous battle, Jin Yin, the commander of the Golden Wolf Guard, was killed, and the Golden Wolf Guard suffered losses of more than one-third.
After that, the remaining nearly 10,000 Golden Wolf Guards were divided into two groups by Yelü Abaoji, one of which was under his command.
As news of the fall of the southern and northern city walls spread, Qi Shu made a bold decision: he led his 5,000 Golden Wolf Guards to open the city gates and launch a decisive counterattack.
"Ding, Qi Shu Iron Army skill activated:"
Iron Army: An army of steel, as strong as steel and iron, invincible and unbreakable. It is an advanced version of the Commanding Army skill, and its effects vary from person to person.
Effect 1: In field battles, Command +4, Strength +4.
Effect 2: When defending a city, Command +1 and Strength +2.
Effect 3: The morale, combat power, speed, willpower, etc. of all soldiers under your command are greatly enhanced.
When Qi Shu's Iron Army skill effect is activated, in field battles, Command +4, Strength +4, base Command 98, current Command rises to 102, base Strength 103, Equipment +2, Martial King +3, Yelü Abaoji Liao Zu +2, current Strength rises to 114.
"Ding, Qi Shu Iron Army skill effect three activated, greatly increasing the morale, combat power, speed, willpower, etc. of all soldiers under your command."
Qi Shu knew that using troops like the Golden Wolf Guard in the defense of the city would be a complete waste of their elite strength. It would be better to launch a fierce attack while the army was still strong, which might even have unexpected results. Sure enough, despite being at a disadvantage, Qi Shu suddenly launched a counterattack, catching Hulü Guang completely off guard and causing heavy losses to the Han army attacking the city.
However, Hulü Guang reacted very quickly, immediately ordering his cavalry, which was already on high alert, to engage in battle.
Although this attack was unexpected and caused considerable losses, it actually made Hulü Guang admire Qi Shu even more.
After all, this precisely demonstrates the other party's capabilities.
"General Fang, that's about enough. I'll trouble you to lead the Black Cavalry to flank us from the side." After the cavalry of the two armies began to clash, Huli Guang turned to Fang Tianci, the commander of the Black Cavalry, and gave the order.
Qi Shu's decisive attack with the Golden Wolf Guard did catch them off guard, but that was all.
The disparity in troop strength between the two sides has created an insurmountable chasm that cannot be bridged by such a small measure.
The infantry troops attacking the city were caught off guard, while within Huli Guang's main force of infantry and cavalry were even more ready for battle.
"By the way, if there's a chance to capture Qi Shu alive, it would be best to do so!" Just as Fang Tianci was preparing to lead the Black Riders into battle, Hulü Guang gave this final instruction.
If there is an opportunity to recruit such a great general, then of course we should recruit him.
In any case, once the Eastern Barbarians are conquered, a group of local officials will inevitably be promoted. Having capable people now is better than picking the tallest from a group of short people later.
"Your subordinate obeys," Fang Tianci replied, and then led the Black Riders into the battlefield.
Although the Golden Wolf Guard was an elite force of the Eastern Barbarians, even the most elite troops would not fare so well when surrounded by cavalry forces several times their size.
After the Black Riders broke in from the flank, the force that Hulü Guang had put in had clearly exceeded the limits that the troops could withstand. Under the attack from multiple sides, the flank was directly broken through by the Black Riders, splitting the Golden Wolf Guard's cavalry formation in two.
Seeing this, Deng Jiugong, Gao Xianzhi, and other generals who were already in the midst of a great battle also led their cavalry in a final all-out attack.
"Ding! When Deng Jiugong's Azure Dragon skill is activated, his martial prowess increases by 3 when facing an enemy. When facing multiple enemies, his martial prowess increases by 1 for each additional enemy, up to a maximum of 3."
Current martial prowess +3, Deng Jiugong's base martial prowess 106 (+1), Martial God +4, Azure Dragon Blade +1, Sai Long Wu Ban Leopard +1, Han Xin, the God of War +3, current martial prowess increased to 118.
"Ding! Deng Jiugong's Azure Dragon skill effect three is activated. Eastern Azure Dragon: When fighting in the East, the specific effect of effect one can be doubled. However, when fighting outside the East, there is a certain chance that a random negative skill effect received from the enemy will be doubled on himself."
Deng Jiugong's current combat strength has increased by 3, bringing his total combat strength to 121.
"kill!"
With a roar, Deng Jiugong took advantage of the Golden Wolf Guard's cavalry formation being scattered, drew his sword, leaped onto his horse, and charged into the Golden Wolf Guard's ranks. Before the Eastern Yi generals Di Sheng and Banguer could react, they were both cleaved in two by Deng Jiugong's sword.
