Chapter 46 Before the counterattack
As for the embarrassing scene of the enemy running for life, Di Qing no longer had the time to watch it.
Although he was very tired, it was not the time to rest.
Back in the city gate tower and looking at the sand table, Di Qing thought of the king's order he received not long ago - occupying the basin outside the pass!
In the order book, Yang Song ordered them to have the goal of this war this time to occupy the entire northern basin!
Since you have won now, it is time to complete the subsequent tasks.
"General Zhang, General Zhang, please prepare your cavalry and prepare to fight back!" Di Qing's personal guard found the full armed Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei had already prepared. He kept listening to the movements outside the city and the sound of fighting at the top of the city, but he could only stay behind, command the cavalry, and wait and be anxious.
Although he could not leave his post, Zhang Wei could let his personal guards go to the city wall to check the battle situation.
The personal guard's report from time to time made Zhang Wei know about the crisis at the city wall, and he was even ready to let all the cavalry get off the horse and get on the city.
Just waiting for Di Qing's order, Zhang Wei would immediately go to support him, but after waiting for almost a day, he still didn't wait for Di Qing's order.
Because the current highest commander of Tianqian Pass is Di Qing, and although he is also in the rank of major general, his position is only a cavalry commander, so he cannot act without authorization and can only act upon orders.
Although the situation at the top of the city was not very good, fortunately he kept it on, so he could only suppress his anxiety and wait calmly.
Even when other soldiers on the city wall were fighting bravely, their cavalry could have a nice lunch.
"Okay, I'll repay General Di. I've already prepared for it. I'll just wait for his order!" Zhang Wei heard the words he wanted to hear the most - not support, but counterattack!
Di Qing's personal guard clasped his fists and said, "Yes!" Then he returned to the city gate tower and reported to Di Qinghui: "General, General Zhang said he was ready, just waiting for the general's order!"
When Di Qing heard the report of his personal guard, he nodded, walked out of the city gate tower again, came to the battlements of the city wall, and looked at the chaotic enemy troops outside the city, but did not give the order to fight back immediately.
Di Qing was waiting, waiting for the enemy to be in chaos, and waiting for the best opportunity. It is still a little early to counterattack, and the enemy has not been in a state of chaos that cannot resist.
The chaos of the enemy slowly extended from the city wall to the rear of the enemy formation and went straight to the enemy's base camp!
------------
Chat was responsible for commanding the army's attack in today's battle, and he also knew how cruel the battle ahead was.
Because he dispatched troops to attack the city, but there was no response at all, as if there was an unfilled beast in front of him, ruthlessly swallowing these troops.
Although he had only dispatched about 20,000 troops in the first day, and more than half of the soldiers were left behind without moving.
But aren’t there any way they can do this? They can only bite the bullet and continue to send more soldiers ahead!
After all the catapults were destroyed, Billy returned to Chat and helped to dispatch the army.
"At this consumption rate, the 50,000 troops will be exhausted in only two days." Billy sent an army of 2,000 to the offensive team and turned to Chat.
Chat also sent a team of 1,000 archers to the offensive queue and replied to Billy: "The enemy is almost unable to bear it anymore. Have you not seen that the opponent's explosive weapon has slowed down a lot?"
Billy nodded in agreement with Chat's opinion, but he frowned and said, "That's right, I just don't know if these soldiers can still hold on. I'm afraid..."
Chat knew what Billy meant, sneered, and said, "Don't worry about these soldiers, they dare not escape, their family is still in the territory."
Just as Charter finished speaking, Billy had not had time to say what he was thinking, but he saw a chaos ahead.
"What's going on?" Billy asked in confusion.
Chat also had a questioning face. Seeing the chaos ahead, he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he shouted loudly at left and right: "Go and see what happened ahead!"
"Report~!" As soon as the soldiers on both sides agreed, before they could set off, they heard the officer riding a wildebeest in front of them quickly report: "Report to the Knight, the soldiers siege ahead are retreating and running away!"
"What?!" Chat and Billy exclaimed at the same time, and then Chat hurriedly asked, "Are they afraid that their family will all become slaves?"
Chatter just told Billy that these soldiers dared not escape, but unexpectedly they were slapped in the face less than a minute.
But he couldn't care whether he was slapped in the face. Seeing the chaos ahead growing, he hurriedly ordered: "Order the soldiers behind to stop the deserters as soon as possible. As long as someone resists, he will rectify the Dharma on the spot!"
"Wait!" The officer was about to go to pass the order when he was stopped by Billy. He asked, "Where are the Knights? Where are the low-level officers in front of him?"
These two questions are what Billy wants to know the most. He who prevents soldiers from escaping and supervises soldiers to siege the city, why is there no news now?
"My Knight...he was assassinated by mercenaries!" The officer and knight were also a knight, but their status was not as high as that of Billy and the other two.
"What?!" Chatter and Billy exclaimed at the same time again, this time it felt even more incredible than the one I had just said.
Now there is no need to ask, this riot must be caused by those mercenaries. This knight is the victim of this rebellion.
As for the officers on the front line, they don’t have to think too much about their result - death!
"You go and pass the order! Also, if you see the mercenary, you don't need to say more, just kill it!" Billy waved to the officer, asking him to pass the order quickly.
After the officer left quickly, the two looked at each other without saying much, but they were very heavy in their hearts. They knew that they were defeated in this battle!
Although they knew that they would never attack the fortress in front of them again, they were not very worried about the enemy, because they still had an army of nearly 30,000!
As for the enemy's counterattack, they are still happy. As long as the enemy comes down from the tall and strong city wall, they will not miss such an opportunity.
So what they were worried about was that after returning in shame, they could not explain to their respective lords.
This is a total of 50,000 troops! Not only did they gain anything, they also lost their troops and generals, and even lost the first knight of the business department. With such a huge loss, they would probably be very sad after they returned.
Chat and Billy were still sending troops to supervise the rebellion and worrying about their future, but they didn't know that the city wall was ready to fight back.
What they both don’t know is that there is a saying that “defeated is like a mountain of fall”!
