C2736 Why Did They Attack the City
He had just rushed over from the camp. Previously, because of the army of Yuan Feng Country, they did not make any moves. Fourth Prince kept saying that the army of Yuan Feng Country did not have the ability to siege the city. He planned to retreat once again. Therefore, the generals of the Fengjue Country... They relaxed their vigilance and had the same thought as Fourth Prince. Because of this, there were very few soldiers standing guard on the city wall. Furthermore, there were no middle or high ranking generals. Those middle and high ranking generals... They all went back to the camp to rest. Since they already thought that the Yuan Feng Country army wouldn't attack the city, why would they stand on top of the city wall at night? Enduring the cold wind? How could this place be as comfortable as under the covers?
Therefore, when the Yuan Feng Country's army started to attack the city, this general was not here, but inside the camp. There were even generals who secretly went home. When they received the report that the army of Yuan Feng Country had started to attack the city, these generals hurriedly rushed over from the camp, and even... Some of them were still on their way home.
Because of this, when the soldiers on the city walls retaliated, they fought back unorganized, and no one gave a unified command. The effect of the counterattack naturally wouldn't be very great. It wasn't able to stop the cavalry of Yuan Feng Country from approaching.
Therefore, when this general reached the top of the city wall, what he saw was the vast cavalry force. At this moment, these troops were already very close to the city wall, because they had never thought that the Yuan Feng Country's army would attack the city. They had also never thought that they wouldn't be able to stop the army of Yuan Feng Country from approaching. Therefore, this general seemed somewhat flustered and exasperated.
However, no one could answer his question. Previously, he said that the army of Yuan Feng Country would not attack the city, but these high-ranking generals... As well as the respectful Fourth Prince, he had never said anything about the Yuan Feng Country. In other words, it was their wishful thinking. But now, it seemed like their guess was wrong.
"General, don't worry. I don't think they brought siege weapons with them. They probably didn't come to attack the city. They might just be harassing us and scaring us." At this moment, a soldier next to the general said.
"Is that so?" The general took a closer look and found that it was indeed so. Even though the army of Yuan Feng Country had sent out a lot of troops, and they were all cavalry... The momentum was huge, but among them, there were no siege weapons.
Although the capital city of Fengjue Country could not be compared with the city of Great Lu Dynasty in the pass, however, compared to the other cities outside the pass, it wasn't any worse. Furthermore, in order to welcome this decisive battle, Old Emperor had specially reinforced the city. Therefore, without siege weapons, the army of Yuan Feng Country wouldn't be able to attack this city. They had come to attack the city.
Thinking of this, the general seemed to heave a sigh of relief. However, he then said doubtfully, "If they only want to harass us, why did they send out so many troops? They only need to send out a small number of troops. "
This doubt was also the doubt of some of the surrounding people. Indeed, if they were to harass and scare them, there was no need to send so many troops over. There was no need at all. Wasn't this a waste of the Yuan Feng Country's manpower and resources?
However, they didn't have much time to think about it. The cavalry troops of Yuan Feng Country weren't far from the city wall, and coupled with the fact that they were very fast, hence, in the blink of an eye. Those cavalry troops had already arrived at the city wall.
"Without siege weapons, let's see what you can do!" The general commanded the surrounding soldiers to attack while thinking in his heart.
The other soldiers also had the same thought. Without siege weapons, it was impossible for the cavalry to jump into the city.
However, what happened next shocked the soldiers on the city wall. The cavalry of Yuan Feng Country did not have any intention of slowing down when they got close to the city wall. They continued to drive at a high speed, but their direction changed a little. Previously, there was no direction, but now, they were heading towards the city gate.
Without siege weapons, could it be that they wanted to use horses to knock open the city gate? This was too whimsical.
The soldiers on the city walls, even now... They still did not know that the city gates had been slashed open by Huang Feng. The guards at the city gate had surrendered under Huang Feng's persuasion. There were no longer any obstacles that could stop the army of Yuan Feng Country from entering the city.
Therefore, not long after, the soldiers on the city wall discovered in horror that the cavalry at the front of Yuan Feng Country did not crash into the city gate. Instead, they entered the city unimpeded.
"What, what's going on?" The people on top of the city walls were shocked, puzzled, and frightened as they thought.
Their hands had already stopped attacking, and their eyes were fixed on the cavalry below the city walls. Until now, they still had not realized why the cavalry from Yuan Feng Country did not slow down when they arrived at the city gate. They also did not crash into the city gate. All of this was too unreasonable.
Could it be that the city gate under the city wall had been opened?
But, how was this possible?
The number of soldiers guarding the city gates was not small. Furthermore, they were sent to guard the city gates. The combat strength of those soldiers was not weak either. It was impossible for them to easily lose control of the city gates. Now, why were the armies of Yuan Feng Country able to enter the city unimpeded? This didn't make sense.
However, although these soldiers didn't believe in this matter, however, as more and more people passed through the city gates and entered the city... They had to admit that this matter was true. The city gates had really been opened. The soldiers of Yuan Feng Country had really entered the city through the city gates.
"Quick, go down, all of you, stop them!" After the general reacted, he ordered the soldiers beside him. He did not know what had happened at the city gate. But... There was one thing he was certain of, and that was, the city gate had fallen. If he did not seize control of the city gate as soon as possible... Then... This city would fall, and he knew that the princes in the city were fighting. Once a large number of soldiers from the Yuan Feng Country entered the city, they wouldn't be able to put up much of a resistance. Therefore, they had to wait until the large number of soldiers from the Yuan Feng Country entered the city. They had to seize back control of the city gate and eliminate all the soldiers from the Yuan Feng Country who had already entered the city.
