Chapter 837 Your ambush is as ridiculous as you are
Shi Liang roared,
"They probably didn't discover our ambush, but are planning to bomb our rear. Just wait, they'll be here soon, and they have plenty of ammunition."
There was a hot air balloon in the sky, and the spy was observing below with a telescope.
After the observation, they waved flags and reported to the people below.
Yang Hongying took a telescope and looked at the flag signals in the sky. As she looked, she said to Yu Ziling,
"General Yu, our spies say there are 100,000 enemy soldiers lying in ambush inside the houses on either side, and 50,000 soldiers lined up in the front to resist our army. However, they have suffered heavy casualties from your artillery fire. How did you know they were ambushing us?"
"Ah? The enemy is ambushing?"
Yu Ziling was surprised.
"I don't know. I just meant to disrupt the enemy's formation."
"Huh? I thought you had figured it out."
"How is that possible? I'm not a god."
"Now the enemy is lying in ambush inside, what should we do?"
"The best way to deal with an ambush is to advance steadily and not rush into anything too hastily.
The enemy's defeat is certain, and they are just putting up a desperate fight. They may have set their sights on me, and if they can capture me, they can threaten Lanling King.
I won't go to the front line, I will stay behind the army.
The main forces of the enemy are hiding on both sides. Our army can advance steadily from both sides, clearing one street and then entering the next street. By then, their ambushes will be just skirmishers and will be defeated one by one by us.
After entering the city, I will command the troops from the east rear, and you will go to the west rear. We will advance together and drive out all the enemies.
Also, notify the Southern Expedition Army that after our army enters, they should follow immediately."
Hearing this, Yang Hongying said with a bitter face,
"Huh? You finally got a chance to fight independently, and you're going to share the credit with other legions?"
"What's the point of you, me, and him? We are all from the Yan Army. If I, the wife of the prince, think about competing for credit every day, others will gossip about me.
We cannot fight among ourselves when people’s hearts are unstable, and we must not be like the Qian-Chu coalition.
Alright, have the Divine Machine Battalion up front bomb a base area, then blast open the city gates and charge in."
"Ok."
Yang Hongying nodded.
Yu Ziling's orders were conveyed one by one, and the Shenji Camp began its indiscriminate bombing again.
Jiang Shun was very surprised after receiving the message from Yu Ziling. It was the first time he had seen such a great achievement.
He immediately sent someone to tell Yu Ziling that he would follow Yu Ying's army and charge in. At that time, he would break through the center of the main street, quickly rush to the south of the city, close the city gate, and wipe out this enemy army.
After receiving Jiang Shun's reply, Yu Ziling nodded with satisfaction.
The Shenjiying bombed another base, and then fired two shots, blasting open the city gate.
The First Corps of the Yuying Army rushed in with a roar.
The generals of each corps had received Yu Ziling's orders. After the First Corps entered, they saw that the enemy was more than a hundred steps away from the city wall. They were scattered and running for their lives. They did not rush forward, but ran eastward along the city wall without hesitation.
The area north of the city wall had been bombarded, and the place was still spacious, with no enemy troops or houses, so they could run over calmly and deploy their troops.
However, the Second Corps rushed in and ran to the right without even looking at the chaotic soldiers in the middle.
This scene stunned Shi Liang, who was lying in ambush on the roof.
"Hey? What's going on? There are so many fleeing soldiers here. Why don't they just kill them all at once? Instead, why are they running towards the deserted city walls?"
"I don't know, Marshal. It's okay. They will come to fight sooner or later."
After the Second Corps ran in, the Third Corps followed closely and penetrated behind the First Corps, which had already advanced forward.
Then the Second Corps advanced, and the Fourth Corps came in and entered behind the Second Corps.
By analogy, the experience is orderly, fast and not chaotic.
In the middle of the 9th and 10th Corps, Yu Ziling and Yang Hongying followed them in and came to the back of the army.
This is understandable. How can a commander-in-chief charge into battle? It is normal for him to protect behind the army.
At this time, the two corps in the front had already started fighting with the enemy, pushing forward along the road inside the military camp, taking steady steps, and then moving on to the next one after eliminating one.
Fifty thousand troops on each side continued to press the enemy.
This was almost completely contrary to Shi Liang's plan. The Central Corps, which was originally planned to be the first to come into contact with the enemy, had no one to fight it. The Left and Right Corps, which were originally planned to serve as an ambush, were instead hit head-on.
When Shi Liang saw the general's flag behind the 50,000-strong army, his heart sank.
Damn it, how can I break through the tightly-lined army formation of 50,000 men and capture the enemy commander alive?
If I had this ability, who in the world could stop me?
He is not a brave general who can take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops as easily as taking something out of a bag.
He had no choice but to order the corps in the middle to be transferred to the two sides to provide support and fight a tough battle with the Yan army.
However, just when he had transferred the main force from the central street, deafening shouts of killing suddenly came from inside the city gate.
I saw another large group of Yan soldiers running wildly and charging forward from the middle street with roars.
They didn't care at all whether there were people on either side or if someone attacked them, they would just hold their shields and run while defending themselves, rushing towards the south.
Shi Liang looked at the Yan army under the banner of the Southern Expedition Army and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
How could he not see that the purpose of this legion was to seize the South City Gate!
Once the South Gate is occupied, these Qian troops will be caught in a trap!
"Quick! The rear troops muster up and block the city gates. Don't let the Yan army seize them!"
He barked out orders, but even those took time to get across.
The soldiers under his command had just carried out his order to provide support to both sides.
Jiang Shun rushed in the front, riding a horse, leading a group of generals, waving swords and spears, charging desperately, directly breaking up the enemy troops who had no time to assemble, attacking fiercely, killing anyone who stood in their way, and finally rushed to the south gate.
"Clear the enemies at the city gates, close the gates, kill the enemies on the walls, occupy the area below the walls, and attack from south to north!"
The Southern Expedition Army quickly killed all the enemies at the city gates and on the city walls, where there were not many enemies to begin with.
Then, the vanguard of the Southern Expedition Army spread out to both sides and occupied the area under the city wall, while the rear army occupied the central street and attacked from both sides.
At a pass, the Yan army formed a "工"-shaped formation, divided the Qian army into two parts, surrounded them, and launched an attack.
At this time, Shi Liang finally saw the purpose of the Yan army.
He was supposed to surround the enemy on three sides, but he was surrounded on three sides by the enemy.
His ambush was as ridiculous as he was.
