My lady, I'm going to rebel.
Chapter 165 Divide and Attack
With Yang Diela's order, the Yang family army rushed towards the coalition forces of the four generals' mansions like a surging tide.
On the side of the four generals' mansions, the soldiers of the Feng family were good at riding and shooting. For a while, arrows rained down densely and shot towards the Yang family army.
The Yang family army raised their shields, and there was a constant sound of "clang clang clang". Many arrows were blocked by the shields, but some still passed through the gaps and pierced the soldiers' bodies, causing screams to emanate one after another.
The Lei family's heavy infantry then advanced with heavy steps. With their tall bodies, heavy armor, and a swing of the giant axes in their hands, they could chop down the soldiers of the Yang family army to the ground. Blood splattered, staining the ground with shocking blood flowers.
The soldiers of the Huo family each held a torch and took advantage of the chaos to throw burning fire pots towards the flanks of the Yang family army. In an instant, the fire spread, and many soldiers of the Yang family were surrounded by the sea of fire and fell into a bitter battle.
The Dian family's light cavalry moved flexibly across the battlefield, constantly attacking the Yang family army's formation, trying to break it up and disrupt it.
The Yang family army fell into a passive position for a while, the damage gradually increased, and the formation began to crumble.
Mu Zheng's eyes were sharp as he calmly observed every detail on the battlefield, but his mind was filled with thoughts of countermeasures.
He knew very well that the current situation could not afford any mistakes. If they continued to fight like this, even if the Yang family army had fearless courage, they would sooner or later be dragged down by the opponent's wheel tactics. They had to use a surprise attack to find a glimmer of hope in this seemingly desperate situation and turn the tide of the battle.
"The four families of wind, fire, thunder and lightning each have their own methods. We must not respond blindly." Mu Zheng thought to himself, quickly analyzing the characteristics of the four families in his mind.
"The Feng family relies on cavalry archery, and their ranged attacks are incredibly powerful, but once in close combat, those archers lose their advantage. The Lei family's heavy infantry, like a mobile iron fortress, boasts strong defense and powerful offense, but their movement is slow and lacks flexibility, which may be their Achilles' heel. The Huo family relies on fire attacks to disrupt our army, but their own defenses are weak, likely due to their excessive focus on arson and neglect of their own defenses. The Dian family's light cavalry is highly mobile and can come and go like the wind, but their ability to fight continuously is poor, and they must be showing signs of fatigue by now. It seems the only way to break this impasse is to lure them out of their lair and defeat them one by one."
Mu Zheng rode back to the formation and summoned several generals of the Yang Clan Army. He lowered his voice and spoke quickly, "The four clans of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning appear to be closely coordinated, but in reality, each has its own weaknesses. The Feng Clan relies on cavalry archery, but once their ranged attacks are broken, they won't be a formidable threat in close combat. The Lei Clan's heavy infantry, while strong in defense and powerful in attack, is slow and lacks flexibility. The Fire Clan relies on fire attacks to disrupt our forces, but their own defenses are weak. The Lightning Clan's light cavalry is highly mobile, but cannot withstand prolonged battles. We need to lure them out and defeat them one by one."
After listening to Mu Zheng's analysis, the generals nodded one after another, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes. They just waited for Mu Zheng to give further orders.
Mu Zheng immediately began to deploy his troops. He first arranged a team of agile soldiers from the Yang family army, and asked them to pretend to be defeated. They fought and retreated towards the direction of Tuwei City, and deliberately left some weapons and food on the ground to create the illusion of a panic escape, in order to lure the Feng family into chasing them.
Watching the troops depart, Mu Zheng silently thought to himself, "The Feng family has always been eager for success and reckless. I hope this time I can do what I want and lure them into the trap. This is the first step to breaking the deadlock, and I absolutely cannot let anything go wrong."
Seeing that the Yang family army seemed unable to resist and began to retreat, the generals of the Feng family were unwilling to miss this great opportunity. With a command, they led their cavalry and archery team to chase after them.
They were only thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity to expand their victory, but they had no idea that they had already stepped into the trap set by Mu Zheng.
After the Feng family's cavalry and archery team chased for a distance and gradually distanced themselves from the main forces of the four generals' mansions, Mu Zheng seized the opportunity and charged out with the elite cavalry of the Yang family army that had been ambushed in the valleys on both sides.
For a moment, the shouts of killing were deafening. The elite troops of the Yang family surrounded the Feng family from both sides, cutting off their retreat.
Mu Zheng didn't know when a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword looked ordinary, but when it was swung, it brought out bursts of sharp sword energy.
He rushed into the Feng family's cavalry and archery team, with sword flowers flying. Wherever he went, the Feng family's archers fell off their horses. The sharp sword energy could actually cut off the incoming arrows directly. For a moment, he tore a gap in the Feng family's rain of arrows.
As he swung his sword, he thought to himself, "First, I'll destroy your warhorses and see how you can display your riding and archery skills. Once the Feng family loses their advantage, it will be their downfall."
The war horses were frightened and neighed continuously. Many of the Feng family's mounted archers were thrown off their horses, and the formation was in chaos.
Those who were about to draw their bows to fight back were shot down by the Yang family's arrows before they could even take aim. The Feng family's pride in their archery skills was completely useless in this narrow encirclement, and they were instantly trapped in a desperate situation.
After dealing with the Feng family's pursuit troops, Mu Zheng did not stop for a moment. He immediately ordered the Yang family army to regroup and charge back to the main battlefield.
"The Feng family has been defeated, and the next one is the tough nut to crack, the Lei family. However, since I have seen through their weaknesses, I will definitely find a way to break them." Mu Zheng's eyes were firm, and he secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
