Chapter 150: Battle at the Camp Gate
Bai Xin heard the voice and immediately looked up at Ye Qi and asked, "Is there an emergency?"
"The enemy is attacking!" Ye Qi said with cold eyes.
He gently let Bai Xin go, frowned slightly, looked at her and warned: "Don't go out!" Then he hurried out of the tent.
"How dare you so bold as to come and harass us again and again?" Bai Xinxin complained in her heart.
Looking at his back as he walked out, I gritted my teeth and followed him.
"Hey, Ye Qi just told you not to go out!" When Li Ze saw her coming out, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her and said.
"It's okay, I'll watch from a distance and not cause any trouble!" Bai Xin said as she struggled to free her hand.
"I'll never trust you!" Li Ze curled his lips and said, "I'm going to cause trouble for me later!"
"No, I'll take care of it if anything happens!" Bai Xin assured him.
Li Ze rolled his eyes at her speechlessly: "Being spoiled and arrogant, that's you!"
"Let's go, stop talking nonsense! You want to go yourself." Bai Xin urged.
Li Ze shook his head and could only follow her. After all, he also wanted to go and take a look. He couldn't just sit and wait for Taiping to come.
The two of them came to the camp near Xichang, and the two armies faced each other inside and outside the heavy fence.
The Xichang soldiers had already reached the gate of Ye Qi's camp. A team of people set up rattan shields and slowly approached the gate of Ye Qi's camp.
Inside the fence, the Ye family army's archers and shield bearers formed a staggered formation and lined up in front of the fence, ready to fight at any time.
Ye Qi stood far behind the team, riding on a red-flame dragon horse, observing the situation of the two armies from a high vantage point.
At this time, Bai Xin and Li Ze also walked behind them and stopped not far away.
Bai Xin looked at Ye Qi's back in the dark night, like a warrior descending from the sky, looking down on everything below.
At this time, the two sides of the Xichang soldiers' shield formation were separated, and the Ye family army archers immediately shot at the gaps, taking the initiative and leaving them no time to shoot.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Xichang soldiers regrouped.
At this time, Ye Qi discovered that there was something fishy going on ahead, and said a few words to the flag signalman beside him, who took his orders.
He waved the flag to give orders to Xu Rong and his men. Xu Rong took the orders and ordered the archers to retreat and defend, the shield bearers to defend with their shields, and the engineering team to be behind the shield bearers, waiting for orders.
After a while, the Xichang soldiers' shields suddenly separated, and several hay carts with flames shooting up into the sky quickly pushed towards the heavy fence from behind them.
"Throw!" Xu Rong gave the order.
The shieldmen immediately withdrew their upper shields to leave space for them to throw bombs.
Several engineering teams lit the gourd mines and quickly threw them at the Xichang soldiers' fire attack team. The shield bearers immediately raised their shields to resist the external attack, and the teams cooperated closely.
The gourd bomb fell into the Xichang soldiers' team, sparks flew everywhere instantly, and combined with their own haystacks and fires, the fire was even more brutal.
Before the Xichang soldiers could even reach the camp gate fence, the Xichang soldiers who were charging in the front were blown away and fell to the ground, wailing.
Bai Xin was standing behind them, feeling anxious but also excited. They cooperated perfectly and were well-trained in such a short time. They were indeed the Ye family army.
The Xichang soldiers seemed to be frightened by the scene before them. The soldiers who attacked the city last time were all killed in the explosion, and they had never seen such explosive weapons before, so they dared not attack again.
Although the generals behind them were afraid, they became extremely angry when they saw that his soldiers were showing a tendency to retreat, and gave them crazy orders to attack again.
The Xichang soldiers had no choice but to grit their teeth and launch another round of attack. At this time, they seemed to be frustrated and even more hysterical. They pushed the hay cart with flames rising into the sky towards the heavy fence in an attempt to hit the camp gate again.
Xu Rong and his men looked at the crazy Xichang soldiers, snorted calmly, and gave orders again. Another batch of gourd mines flew out from their shield formation and fell into the opponent's fire attack formation, blowing them to pieces and causing their army to be routed.
Afterwards, the shield formation of the Xichang soldiers was also blown into chaos by a new round of gourd bombs, leaving them completely powerless to resist.
Ye Qi was watching all this with a slight curl of his lips. A few nights ago, Xin'er had used gourd bullets to defeat the archers of the Xichang soldiers. This gave him an additional strategy for arranging his troops. In this way, his subordinates would not need to use their bodies to directly block the foreign enemies, thus reducing casualties.
"We still have to get the cannons. This way of throwing is still too inefficient!" Li Ze looked at their fighting style and said to Bai Xin.
"Well, from what Ye Qi said, Your Majesty will use the confiscated iron ore to manufacture weapons for the Ye family army. We will strive to own cannons and rifles in the future!" Bai Xin said to him.
"Yes, Not Bad!"
"Then, I will have to rely more on you from now on, Squad Leader Li!"
Bai Xin looked at him and said jokingly.
"That's absolutely no problem!" Li Ze patted his chest and assured.
Then he felt something was wrong: "Shouldn't you be the one taking the lead?"
"As for me, isn't it Ye Qi who asked me to take the risk? I plan to turn over a new leaf and take care of my husband and children!" Bai Xin looked at him and said jokingly.
"Really?!" Li Ze stared at her for a long time, a little bit unbelievable.
"Of course, you've seen it too. It's because I found a husband who is tall and strong but less hardworking. I don't want to let him get hurt!" Bai Xin glanced at Ye Qi not far away, smiled and said.
"Hey, that's enough!" Li Ze was really disgusted by her unexpected display of affection.
As they were talking, they heard the sound of fighting coming from the front. The two looked at each other and prepared to rescue the wounded.
The Xichang soldiers failed to attack and suffered heavy losses. They were about to retreat, but Ye Qi gave a stern order: "Mo Tian, send a signal to Zhong Shu who is ambushing outside to cut off their retreat!"
"Yes!" Mo Tian took the order and fired a flare to Zhong Shu in the rear.
"Xu Rong, open the heavy barriers and surround the retreating Xichang bandits. Don't let any of them escape. Those who surrender will not be killed, but the rest will be killed without mercy!" Ye Qi's majestic voice spread.
"Yes!" The generals obeyed the order. The moment the fence was opened, the Ye family army bravely pursued the enemy!
Xichang tried to escape, but was trapped by Zhong Shu who used a mobile fire array in the rear. Bows and arrows were fired at them, and most of the Xichang soldiers were immediately fleeing in panic, with no direction to go.
The Xichang commander had some backbone, and when Xu Rong and Zhong Shu shouted, "Surrender your weapons and we won't kill you!", he still gathered a team of death warriors and put up a desperate resistance.
For a while, there was fierce fighting outside the camp. Ye Qi pulled the reins, and the Red Flame Dragon Horse neighed to the sky. Then it led Ye Qi out of the camp, with his sword drawn, and ran straight towards the general who was resisting stubbornly. Wherever he went, he beheaded the Xichang soldiers who were in a stalemate with the Ye family army.
Many Xichang soldiers who still wanted to resist dropped their swords and knelt on the ground in fear. The Xichang general was furious, but he did not gain the upper hand. He wanted to break out of the encirclement, but was chased by Zhong Shu and his men.
It was impossible to surrender and lay down his arms, so he tried to fight his way out of the encirclement. However, he found Ye Qi rushing towards him. His eyes immediately turned red, and he picked up the long tassel and stared at the direction where Ye Qi was coming from.
