Chapter 82 Encirclement and reinforcements
After a fierce battle, the Daqian army left behind in the valley began to collapse rapidly under the double-sided attack of Meng Zhang and Qiao Shefei.
The team led by Qiao Shefei broke through the front and occupied the granary in the valley.
They began a methodical destruction of the remaining facilities in the valley, burning the grain in the granaries.
The flames jumped in the night sky, lighting up the entire valley.
However, Meng Zhang did not start to retreat, but chose to wait where he was.
If the logistics are attacked, the enemy forces in Daqian will definitely send reinforcements to rescue. Therefore, the next action is Meng Zhang’s next plan - to surround the point and attack the reinforcements.
With Meng Zhang's outstanding strategic vision and command ability, he certainly would not be satisfied with just attacking a granary.
Long before the action, when selecting the target, he first conducted a careful survey of the terrain of the valley, and learned about the size of the valley, the characteristics of the terrain, and the possible routes of action of the enemy.
By analyzing the terrain, Meng Zhang knew that Daqian would send reinforcements to rescue after discovering that the granary was burned.
Therefore, they ambushed archers on the hillsides on both sides of the valley and attacked the enemy with dense rain of arrows.
At the same time, he also ordered the cavalry to ambush at the bottom of the valley, preparing to outflank the enemy from both sides.
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Meng Zhang also made careful deployment for the Yellow Turban troops that were coming this time.
He carefully selected an elite team of archers to ensure that they could accurately hit the enemy.
At the same time, he also equipped the cavalry units with the best horses and weapons to ensure that they could quickly pursue the enemy.
After formulating the plan, Meng Zhang also conducted emergency and detailed tactical training for the troops before coming.
Personally instruct archers on how to adjust shooting angles to ensure they can accurately hit the enemy at different heights and distances.
At the same time, cavalry units were trained how to quickly outflank the enemy and attack their flanks and rear.
During the entire planning process, Meng Zhang also paid special attention to safety measures.
Soldiers were ordered to remain concealed during their movements to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and multiple early warning systems were set up to detect enemy movements in a timely manner.
At this time, in the woods above the valley, Meng Zhang's troops began to make intensive preparations.
They quickly dug trenches and built fortifications to ensure that they could effectively resist enemy attacks in the ensuing battle.
At the same time, various traps and obstacles were set up to delay the enemy's actions.
After everything was ready, Meng Zhang closely monitored the enemy's movements.
Scouts were sent to the vicinity of the valley to gather intelligence and report back to him at any time.
Based on the reports from the scouts, the deployment of troops was constantly adjusted to ensure the maximum impact on the enemy.
Tatata!
Not long after, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from the distance in the valley. Sure enough, a team of Daqian troops left behind in the rear came to rescue!
"Bastard!"
"Damn those Yellow Turban bandits!"
Seeing the flames rising into the sky in the valley, I knew that the granary had probably been burned down.
The Daqian army was immediately furious and sped up their march.
However, when they entered the valley, they found that the Yellow Turban bandits had already ambushed on both sides of the valley.
When the Daqian reinforcements appeared at the mouth of the valley, Meng Zhang's archers deployed on high ground quickly launched an attack.
A dense rain of arrows poured down from the hillside, accurately hitting the Daqian soldiers.
For a moment, wailing and screaming were heard in the valley.
At the same time, Qiao Shefei, who had been waiting for a long time, also led the cavalry troops to charge from the bottom of the valley.
They rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from a mountain, their swords flashing coldly.
Under the impact of the cavalry units, the formation of the Daqian Army was instantly disrupted and the soldiers fled one after another.
They were trapped in the valley and were defeated by Meng Zhang's Yellow Turban Army without any chance to fight back.
Facing the large number of Daqian troops and the narrow terrain of the valley, the archers on the hillside almost never missed their target, and every arrow shot would take the life of an enemy.
Qiao Shefei's cavalry troops rushed into the enemy's formation like tigers, with the swords in their hands flashing coldly in the night sky.
The reinforcements from Daqian were thrown into disarray by the sudden attack.
They began to panic, but their good qualities enabled them to still try to organize a counterattack.
However, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive was as powerful as a tide and could not be stopped.
The battle in the valley entered a white-hot stage from the beginning, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and the sound of weapons clashing was deafening.
The firelight illuminated the soldiers' faces, and their eyes were full of determination and courage.
Qiao Shefei led the charge with the double blades of Doom, wielding the long sword and charging forward.
His figure shuttled across the battlefield like lightning, and every time he appeared, he was accompanied by the screams of the enemy.
Accurately killing important officers and commanders of the enemy army, weakening the combat effectiveness of the Daqian army to the greatest extent.
In the fierce battle, the Yellow Turban Army gradually gained the upper hand thanks to Meng Zhang's numerous arrangements.
They cooperated well and fought in coordination, not giving the Daqian reinforcements any chance to breathe.
As time went on, Daqian's supporting troops began to run into trouble.
They were tightly surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, their retreat was cut off, and their front line was divided and cut off.
The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Daqian army.
During the interval of the battle, Qiao Shefei, who was leading the charge, keenly captured the position of Daqian, the commander of the support troops.
On ancient battlefields, killing important generals and commanders of the enemy was always the key to victory.
So he decided to carry out this task himself.
Qiao Shefei used his excellent riding skills and his speed to move flexibly on the battlefield.
He quickly avoided the enemy's defense line and quietly approached the position of the commander of the Daqian reinforcements.
At this time, the night was getting darker, and fire and smoke filled the battlefield, adding a sense of mystery to Qiao Shefei's actions.
He took advantage of the valley's terrain and the cover of fire and smoke to successfully approach Daqian, the commander of the support forces.
When Qiao Shefei approached the Daqian commander, he was not impatient, but calmly observed and waited for an opportunity.
He noticed that the number of guards around the commander was gradually decreasing and judged this to be an excellent opportunity.
So, Qiao Shefei exploded instantly and rushed towards the Daqian commander like lightning.
The double blades of doom in his hands were like a giant dragon emerging from a cave, accurately slashing at the vital points of the Daqian commander.
"Ding! Qiao Shefei activated his skills Demon Slash and Shadow Swiftness at the same time!
Demon Slash: Demon Shadow Slash, one strike to kill, one strike to take away the soul, the effect of the skill will be different for different people.
Effect 3: When killing an enemy with two swords, the first sword will increase the force by +3, and the second sword will increase the force by + again.
Effect 1: Fight more bravely, every ten rounds, force +, can be activated up to three times.
Swift Shadow: As fast as a shadow, as swift as the wind, as quick as lightning. Those with extraordinary speed talent have a certain chance of awakening. The specific effects vary from person to person.
Effect 3: When facing an enemy, your own military strength is increased by .
Effect 1: Whether in a one-on-one or group fight, depending on the enemy's strength, reduce their overall strength by 3 to points.
Qiao Shefei's current basic force value is 105, his weapon's Doomsday Dual Blades +1, Shadow Swiftness +3, and Magic Slash effect +4, so his current force value rises to 114."
