Chapter 835: Rest easy
In the chaos of the battle, Xie Liancheng shouted angrily, like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded!
At that moment, looking at the head held high on the blade, the Centaur mercenaries had dull expressions, and a look of disbelief gradually emerged on their faces.
"Dead, the leader is dead!"
"How is it possible? The leader is dead?!"
“…”
In the eyes of the Centaur mercenaries, their leader is so powerful that he is almost like a god of war!
Such a leader actually died?! And he died at the hands of a human general?! No matter how they thought about it, they found it unbelievable.
During the riot, the eyes of a large number of Centaur mercenaries fell on Jie Liancheng again.
"I don't believe it! This human must have used some despicable tricks!"
With a roar that sounded a bit like collapse, a Centaur mercenary, holding a spear and with red eyes, rushed towards Jie Liancheng.
Seeing this, Xie Liancheng was not at all panicked. He even took the initiative to signal his soldiers to retreat. He waited for the right moment and swung his three-pointed, double-edged sword, lifting the head on the blade directly into the air and meeting the Centaur mercenary who was rushing towards him.
In full view of the crowd, after just one encounter, the Centaur mercenary's head and body were separated! At the same time, Jie Liancheng raised his hand and caught Kabak's falling head.
"Who else is coming to die?!"
With a roar, Jie Liancheng's madness was revealed. An unconcealable fear quickly appeared on the face of every Centaur mercenary. The death of their leader and the presence of Jie Liancheng instantly brought their morale to the freezing point.
Seeing this, the Great Zhou cavalry immediately shouted the slogan "Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed!"
Faced with the powerful cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the remaining Centaur mercenaries tried to resist. However, in such a small-scale armed conflict, the suppressive power of a fierce general like Jie Liancheng was too strong to dominate the battle!
Not to mention that the death of their leader Kabak almost made them fall apart.
As the situation became more and more powerful, the Centaur mercenaries soon lost their will to fight. Some fled, some surrendered, and the whole scene fell into chaos.
Fortunately, the Great Zhou cavalry led by Jie Liancheng had all received rigorous training. In the chaos, they quickly stabilized their position and began to outflank and intercept the fleeing Centaur mercenaries.
This wave of the opponent's actions was undoubtedly grasped by Shi Lei.
When Shi Lei saw that the other side was taking measures to besiege the city, he blindly guessed that the other side would intercept their supplies, so he directly sent a pigeon to contact Li Ce in Green Forest City, hoping that the other side would send Jie Liancheng to lead troops to support.
This level of prediction is actually nothing.
The siege combined with the interception of supplies is itself a set of coherent means, and it is not difficult to guess.
From the perspective of the Liang army commander, the key here is that the troops he sent out to intercept the supplies were Centaur mercenaries.
In his opinion, it can basically ensure that nothing goes wrong.
The Centaur mercenaries had never shown up beforehand, so Shi Lei certainly couldn't have guessed in advance that the other side would have such a force.
But he couldn't stop himself from choosing Jie Liancheng without thinking.
At this time, Xie Liancheng knew that the situation in Anling City was not critical and there were still sufficient supplies in the city.
At this moment, capturing the fleeing Centaur mercenaries is much more important than escorting supplies to Anling City.
With this idea in mind, Xie Liancheng quickly sent people to contact the nearby Xishan City and Heishi City, asking both cities to send out garrisons to cooperate with them in the search operation.
For a while, it was very busy here.
During this period, in Anling City, the two armies were still in a stalemate.
Shi Lei led the defenders of Anling City and stayed there the entire time. The Liang army commander, who adopted a siege strategy, did not receive any news and was unaware that the Centaur mercenaries he had placed high hopes on had been defeated.
At this moment, he naturally continued to maintain his siege strategy, imagining that the opposing garrison would run out of ammunition and food, be forced to go out of the city to fight, and finally be defeated head-on by his large army.
Little did he know that Shi Lei, who was in Anling City, had already received a letter via carrier pigeon, confirming the news.
Now, Shi Lei can rest assured. If the Liang army outside the city wants to surround the city, let them do so. He is not in a hurry at all.
A beautiful victory is to gain the greatest victory at the lowest cost!
Leaving the city now would cost a lot and it is really unnecessary.
In this process, as spring turns to summer and the temperature continues to rise, the climate gradually becomes hotter.
Outside the western border of Liang State, several figures flashed by quickly under the scorching sun. After confirming the location of the border city opposite from afar, they quickly rushed back to their nearby front-line camp to report the situation.
"Lieutenant Colonel, we have confirmed that five kilometers away from the camp is the enemy's border city. There is a flag with the word 'Liang' hanging on the wall, which is basically the same as the description of the enemy flag outside Anling City."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Drogo, who had led the team here after a long journey, suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face.
"Very good! Pass the order down. Gather troops and attack the city tomorrow morning!"
During this period, Bai Tu, who was sitting next to Drogo as his deputy, was also excited.
He didn't expect that he would get the opportunity to lead troops into battle again so soon.
Although he was the deputy general in terms of position, after working together for a period of time, Bai Tu had already realized very well that Drogo was better at charging into battle than commanding operations.
Once the commander rushed forward, wouldn't the task of commanding the troops in the rear fall on him, the deputy commander? So, although he was the deputy commander in this army, he actually exercised the power of the commander!
Bai Tu was basically certain in his heart that their Majesty could not be unaware of this, and the reason for making such an arrangement was to train him.
Now that the opportunity has finally come again, how can he not be excited? !
He quickly pulled Drogo aside and discussed the tactics for tomorrow's siege.
"According to the intelligence obtained from interrogating the prisoners over there, the regular garrison of the border cities of Liang State is 800."
Hearing this number, Drogo laughed.
"Old Bai, relax. There are only 800 soldiers stationed there. We have three-bow crossbows to break into the city. Once the city gate is broken, it will be easy for us to capture this border city!"
Drogo's words came true.
On the day of the siege, the three-bow crossbow easily broke open the city gate, and then the Centaur cavalry led by Drogo rushed directly into the city at the fastest speed.
In less than an hour, Pingyuan City, which served as the western border of Liang State, fell.
At the same time, the news of the border's fall was also sent to the Liang capital, Daliang City, at the fastest speed...
