After an unknown period of time, Bai Feng slowly opened her eyes.
"Mister, Mister!"
At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly heard someone calling him from outside.
From the sound of it, it was Li Cunxiao!
"Come in."
Bai Feng coughed lightly. Li Cunxiao rushed in and half-knelt on the ground.
"Mister, the Jiangdong army has already discovered that we are in Wu County. The 60,000 soldiers are already at the city!"
Bai Feng frowned and asked in a low voice.
"How long have we been in the city?"
"Not even a day."
Hearing this, Bai Feng could not help but be slightly shocked.
He had actually fainted for an entire day!
However, Han Dang and the others had actually discovered that he was not in the city and were heading towards Wu County.
However, this was just as well. He could test the power of the Taiping Vital Art.
Thinking about this, Bai Feng calmly said,
"Prepare the troops!"
… …
Han Dang and the others had already reached the city. However, the giant Qin crossbows on the city walls prevented them from taking a step forward.
Han Dang had heard of the power of the crossbows from Ling Tong.
Even if they used shields to block, they would not be able to stop the arrows from piercing through.
The arrows could pierce through the shields and armor and into the bodies of the soldiers.
If they attacked rashly, the losses would be too great.
Han Dang was very clear about the current situation in Jiangdong.
Cao Cao had been eyeing Jiangdong for a long time.
After the Battle of Red Cliff, after resting for so long, Jiangdong finally had time to build up troops.
Now that they could minimize the casualties, they could not act rashly.
"Righteous Duke, we've been waiting here for an entire hour. If we still don't attack, then Bai Feng will probably flee again!"
Cheng Pu said anxiously when he saw the situation.
Han Dang narrowed his eyes and ordered,
"De Mou, lead the troops and attack from all sides. Be careful of the crossbows."
"Although the enemy has crossbows, there are only three or four of them. Furthermore, there will not be many giant arrows. As long as we get close to the city, we will definitely be able to take back Capital Wu!"
Hearing Han Dang's words, Cheng Pu quickly led his troops to do as he was told.
The disadvantage of the ballistae was that it was easier to attack a city than to defend it.
If they were to defend the city, it would be very difficult for Qin Nu to kill many enemies with one shot if the attackers were spread out and there were too many of them.
Furthermore, the ballista itself was used for sieging cities. When the ballistas hit the walls, the soldiers could climb over them.
Han Dang was different from Cheng Pu. He also knew some military strategies. Now that Jiangdong's strategists were not around, he had become the general who could come up with strategies.
At this time, Bai Feng had already arrived at the top of the city wall.
"Cun Xiao, lead the 18 Steeds of Yanyun from the south gate and circle around the enemy's back."
Bai Feng immediately saw through Han Dang's plan and ordered in a low voice.
After Li Cunxiao left, Bai Feng ordered his soldiers to give up on using Qin crossbows and switch to using bows and arrows.
"Hahaha, Bai Feng is really out of tricks!"
"He doesn't have many soldiers to begin with, and now he wants to use the arrow formation to attack. We will definitely win this battle!"
Cheng Pu immediately laughed and led his soldiers to charge towards the top of the city wall.
The Jiangdong Army was already spread out. If they wanted to use the arrow formation, they might not even lose more than a hundred people in two waves.
After all, normal arrows would not be able to pierce through their defense at such a distance and with the shielded soldiers in front.
Bai Feng only had 700 or so Black Armored Cavalry left.
"Taiping Technique, Human Scroll, activate!"
With a thought, Bai Feng activated the Taiping Yaoshu Scroll and strengthened the seven hundred or so Black Armored Cavalry around him.
The Black Armored Cavalry was already very strong. After being strengthened, all of their abilities were increased.
This included archery!
After the Black Armored Cavalry was strengthened, the arrows directly passed through the shields and hit the bodies of the soldiers.
Han Dang himself was very good at archery. He could immediately tell the level of the archery skills of the soldiers who used bows and arrows.
No matter what, Han Dang did not expect the Cao Army's archery skills to reach such a level.
The shielded soldiers in the front row were caught off guard and the arrows pierced through their chests.
"Put down your shields and charge!"
Han Dang immediately shouted.
He knew that if he continued to charge forward with his shields, he would become a live target.
Now that there was no way to retreat, he could only charge forward. The city wall was their most important goal.
With less than a thousand soldiers, it was impossible for them to deal with the Cao Army.
Although such a suicidal charge would increase the casualties of the soldiers, Han Dang couldn't care less about it.
When Bai Feng saw this, he raised his eyebrows and looked behind Han Dang.
At this moment, the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun had already arrived behind the Jiangdong Army.
"Put down your crossbows and follow me!"
Bai Feng shouted. The black-armored cavalrymen immediately put down the weapons in their hands upon receiving the order. Then, they quickly descended the city walls and mounted their horses at lightning speed.
They opened the city gates and charged out.
Compared to archery, charging was the Black Armored Cavalry's specialty.
Han Dang and Cheng Pu did not expect Bai Feng to be so daring.
In the face of sixty thousand Jiangdong Army, Bai Feng did not choose to hide in the city. Instead, he took the initiative to attack.
However, Han Dang did not expect that most of the Jiangdong Army were infantrymen. There were not many cavalrymen.
After throwing away their shields, the infantrymen became live targets for the Black Armored Cavalry.
The infantrymen at the front were no match for the Black Armored Cavalry. They fell under the hooves of the Black Armored Cavalry.
"General! General! "
"Not good! The enemy is charging from the back! "
Suddenly, the infantrymen at the back shouted. Then, the sound of killing filled the air.
The entire Jiangdong Army was in chaos.
It was not that the Jiangdong Army was not strong. It was that Bai Feng's Man Scroll was too strong.
Basically, a hundred infantrymen could not kill a single Black Armored Cavalry.
As for the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun, it was needless to say.
Under Li Cunxiao's lead, the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun charged into the crowd.
When the infantrymen gathered, Li Cunxiao gave the order to retreat.
The Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun were much faster than the infantrymen. They could not catch up to the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun.
In just an hour, the 60,000 soldiers of Jiangdong were scattered by the cavalry.
At this time, Bai Feng was starting to feel the side effects of the Art of Peace.
During the entire battle, Bai Feng was commanding the troops at the city gate. He did not participate in the battle at all.
Even so, Bai Feng felt as though he was completely drained of energy.
Fortunately, Han Dang could not accept any more casualties. He gave the order to retreat.
At Bai Feng's command, all the soldiers returned to the city one after another.
Li Cunxiao and the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun were nowhere to be seen.
When the Jiangdong Army retreated 500 li and set up camp, they finally returned to Capital Wu.
Bai Feng suppressed his exhaustion and said to Li Cunxiao, "Retreat.
"Evacuate from the city and check the military formation!"
Li Cunxiao received the order.
