Chapter 79 Encirclement and Reinforcements
After a fierce battle, the Daqian army left behind in the valley began to collapse rapidly under the dual attack of Meng Zhang and Qiao Shefei.
Qiao Shefei led his team to break through from the front and occupy the granary inside the valley.
They began systematically destroying the remaining facilities in the valley, burning the grain in the granaries to the ground.
Flames leaped in the night sky, illuminating the entire valley.
However, Meng Zhang did not begin to retreat, but chose to wait in place.
With their logistics attacked, the enemy forces of Daqian will definitely send reinforcements to their aid. Therefore, the next step in Meng Zhang's plan is to besiege the enemy and attack their reinforcements.
Given Meng Zhang's outstanding strategic vision and command ability, he certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just attacking one grain depot.
Even before the operation, when selecting the target, he first carefully surveyed the terrain of the valley to understand its size, terrain features, and possible enemy movement routes.
By analyzing the terrain, Meng Zhang knew that the Great Qian would send reinforcements to rescue the granary after discovering it had been burned down.
Therefore, they ambushed archers on the slopes on both sides of the valley and bombarded the enemy with a dense rain of arrows.
At the same time, he ordered his cavalry to lie in ambush at the bottom of the valley, ready to flank the enemy from both sides.
To ensure the success of the plan, Meng Zhang also made meticulous arrangements for the Yellow Turban troops who came this time.
He carefully selected an elite team of archers to ensure they could accurately hit the enemy.
At the same time, he equipped the cavalry with the best warhorses and weapons to ensure that they could quickly pursue the enemy.
After finalizing the plan, Meng Zhang conducted an emergency and detailed tactical training session for the troops before arriving.
He personally instructed the archers on how to adjust their firing angles to ensure they could accurately strike the enemy at different heights and distances.
At the same time, cavalry units were trained on how to quickly outflank the enemy and attack their flanks and rear.
Throughout the planning process, Meng Zhang paid special attention to safety measures.
The soldiers were ordered to remain concealed during operations to avoid being detected by the enemy, and multiple early warning systems were set up to detect enemy movements in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, in the woods above the valley, Meng Zhang's troops began intensive preparations.
They quickly dug trenches and built fortifications to ensure they could effectively withstand enemy attacks in the upcoming battles.
At the same time, various traps and obstacles were set up to slow down the enemy's movements.
With everything prepared, Meng Zhang closely monitored the enemy's movements.
He dispatched scouts to the vicinity of the valley to gather intelligence and report back to him regularly.
Based on the reports from the scouts, the troop deployment was constantly adjusted to ensure that the enemy could be struck to the greatest extent possible.
Tatata!
Soon after, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from the distance of the valley, and sure enough, a troop of Daqian troops left behind in the rear came to the rescue!
"You bastard!"
"Damn Yellow Turban rebels!"
Seeing flames shooting into the sky in the valley, they knew that the granary had probably been burned to the ground.
The Daqian army was immediately enraged and quickened their pace.
However, when they entered the valley, they found that the Yellow Turban rebels had already laid an ambush on both sides of the valley.
When the Daqian reinforcements appeared at the mouth of the valley, the archers that Meng Zhang had positioned on high ground quickly launched an attack.
A dense rain of arrows poured down from the hillside, accurately hitting the Daqian soldiers.
In an instant, wails and screams echoed through the valley.
At the same time, Qiao Shefei, who had been waiting for a long time, led his cavalry to launch an attack from the bottom of the valley.
They charged towards the enemy like tigers descending a mountain, their swords gleaming coldly.
Under the charge of the cavalry, the Daqian army's formation was instantly disrupted, and the soldiers scattered in disarray.
Trapped in a desperate situation in the valley, they were utterly defeated by Meng Zhang's Yellow Turban army.
The archers on the hillside faced a large army from the Great Qian Dynasty and the narrow terrain of the valley.
They were almost infallible; every arrow they fired took the life of an enemy soldier.
Meanwhile, Qiao Shefei's cavalry charged into the enemy ranks like tigers, their swords flashing coldly in the night sky.
The reinforcements that Daqian had sent were thrown into disarray by this sudden attack.
They began to panic, but their good manners still enabled them to try to organize a counterattack.
However, the Yellow Turban army's offensive was as surging as a tide and could not be stopped.
The battle in the valley went into a fierce stage from the very beginning, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and the sound of weapons clashing deafeningly loud.
The firelight illuminated the soldiers' faces, their eyes filled with determination and courage.
Qiao Shefei, wielding the Doomsday Double Blades, led the charge, brandishing the longsword and the double blades as he charged forward.
His figure moved across the battlefield like lightning, each appearance accompanied by the screams of the enemy.
They precisely killed key enemy generals and commanders, weakening the Daqian army's combat effectiveness to the greatest extent possible.
In the fierce battle, the Yellow Turban army gradually gained the upper hand thanks to Meng Zhang's numerous deployments.
They cooperated seamlessly and worked together, giving the Daqian reinforcements no chance to catch their breath.
As time went on, the Daqian's supporting army began to run into trouble.
They were tightly surrounded by the Yellow Turban army, their retreat was cut off, and their battle lines were divided and severed.
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Daqian army.
During a lull in the fighting, Qiao Shefei, who was leading the charge, astutely spotted the location of the Daqian reinforcement commander.
On ancient battlefields, killing key enemy generals and commanders was always the key to victory.
Therefore, he decided to carry out this task himself.
With his excellent horsemanship and speed, Qiao Shefei moved nimbly across the battlefield.
They quickly bypassed the enemy's defenses and quietly approached the location of the commander of the Daqian reinforcements.
As night deepened, firelight and smoke filled the battlefield, adding an air of mystery to Qiao Shefei's actions.
Using the terrain of the valley and the cover of fire and smoke, he successfully approached the commander of the Daqian reinforcements.
When Qiao Shefei approached the commander of Daqian, 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 that this was an excellent opportunity.
Then, Qiao Shefei suddenly erupted, rushing towards the Daqian commander like lightning.
The Doomsday Twin Blades in his hands were like a dragon emerging from its cave, accurately slashing at the vital points of the Great Qian commander.
"Ding! Qiao Shefei's skills Demon Slash and Shadow Strike are activated simultaneously!"
