Chapter 378 Zuo Guangxian
Although the civil servants, yamen runners and others recruited by Liu Hanru almost never trained on weekdays, these people had experienced the cruel decisive battle with Wang Guoxun some time ago, and had greatly improved their experience and psychological quality, and they were quite well-known when fighting.
But this is also compared with ordinary thieves. Now they are meeting the Pei family army. The Pei family army is an elite of war. In addition, Pei Zhuer's brave army has many veterans, so they have extremely strong combat power.
When the civilians recruited by Liu Hanru were on the city and the Pei family was under the city, the civilians were even able to suppress the Pei family army with favorable terrain and extremely sufficient preparation. However, since the Pei family army attacked the city and the two sides met on a narrow city wall, the situation reversed.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.
When the two sides met and fought each other, the consequences of insufficient training of the civilians were fully exposed. The Pei family army teamed up in two or three, and under the command of their respective veterans, they cooperated very skillfully, like efficient and cruel killing machines, wantonly plundering the lives of the civilians on the city tower.

It was quite beyond Liu Hanru's expectation that the Pei family army had attacked the city so quickly. However, when the Pei family army who had killed the city was working together and no one could control it, they were so dark that they could drip into the water.
At this moment, the strong pressure on the city wall pressed towards Liu Hanru like a mountain, giving him the urge to use his trump card now.
"It's not the time yet, hold on and wait a little longer." Liu Hanru couldn't help but comfort himself with such words, trying his best to dispel his inner anxiety.
At the city, Pei Xiaoer saw that the army had already attacked the city in just two hours, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly. The combat quality of the soldiers under Pei Zhuer was quite good, and he was worthy of his title as the second-in-Cai family army.
"Send another 5,000 people up." Pei Xiaoer said lightly.
After hearing this, Pei Zhuer around him immediately bowed and went down to execute. Beside Pei Xiaoer, Pei Zhuer consciously took on the role of Pei Xiaoer's assistant and meticulously carried out Pei Xiaoer's orders.
At this point, two-thirds of the 15,000 people brought by the Pei family army have been sent out to attack Baocheng.
As the five thousand new forces joined the battlefield, the pressure Liu Hanru felt in Baocheng suddenly doubled. Looking up, he saw that he was still on the stalemate, but with the addition of the new forces outside the city, it gradually began to break.
A large number of civilians on the city began to fall into a situation of being divided and surrounded. Finally, when they were defeated by both sides, they were either killed, or had no choice but to jump off the city wall, or they kneeled down and surrendered directly.
Soon, the defenders were forced to retreat from the city tower, and the front line was pulled onto the steps of the city, and there was no more officers and soldiers on the top of the city.

Liu Hanru finally decided to use his backup plan in advance. Although the Pei family army has not yet invested all its strength and although it is very likely that it will not be able to do its best at this time, he will never care about these things anymore. If he drags on, he may not even have the opportunity to show his strength.
"Go and tell General Zuo that it's time to go out. If you drag it down, Baocheng will be unsecured and you and I will die in a bad life." In a panic, Liu Hanru grabbed the head of the team beside him and shouted at him.
The head of the sturdy team had never seen Mr. Liu lose his composure and was stunned for a moment.
Now Liu Hanru was anxious and wanted to wake up this guy. Before Liu Hanru could do it, the head of the strong team had already reacted. After saying goodbye to Liu Hanru, he rushed towards the city gate.
Standing outside the city, Pei Xiaoer saw that the city wall was full of the Pei family army. Under the city wall, there were still thousands of Pei family soldiers preparing to climb to the city and take Baocheng in one fell swoop.
But at this moment, a wolf smoke evaporated from the city, and the black smoke rolled into the sky, even if it was dozens of miles away, it could still be clearly visible.
Pei Xiaoer suddenly felt a bad feeling. Sure enough, the wall of Baocheng suddenly opened, and hundreds of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the city, and the first to be the brunt. Before the dozens of Pei family soldiers could react, they were picked up by several cavalrymen and their bodies were thrown to the ground.
The soldiers of the Pei family who were sieging the city were unprepared and were directly killed by the cavalry that suddenly rushed out. The cavalry that came out of the formation did not slow down at all, and put down Pei Xiaoer's and rushed to kill quickly.
"Zuo Guangxian?" Behind the leader of a cavalry, a flag waving in the wind exposed the identity of this team of cavalry. It turned out to be Zuo Guangxian, who was still suppressing bandits in Qingyang two days ago. How could this guy appear here?
Before she could think too much, Pei Zhuer noticed the danger and shouted: "Form a formation, form a formation, prepare to deal with the cavalry."
——Free, no ads, no pop-ups, and can also interact with books and friends.
Fortunately, the five thousand soldiers surrounding Pei Xiaoer were always in the army. Seeing the cavalry team running towards him, they didn't wait for Pei Zhu'er to give the order. They instinctively wanted to lean on the robes around them, making the originally dense battle formation tighter.
Zuo Guang took the lead and rushed towards the army formation. As soon as he arrived at twenty steps in front of the army formation, countless spears were instantly pierced from the infantry formation of the Pei family army, like a hedgehog, leaving the surrounding hunting dogs with nowhere to mouth.
However, despite this, Zuo Guangxian still ignored the sharp spear and turned a blind eye to the sharp spear. The whip frantically whipped on the horse's buttocks. The war horse was in pain and ran faster and faster. Twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps, eight steps, and five steps.
As the distance between the two sides became closer, the Pei family soldiers in the front row closed their eyes, their muscles tightened, and they were ready for a collision. However, the expected impact did not come. When both sides were approaching five steps away, Zuo Guang suddenly turned the reins.
The horse turned around like a psychic, galloped away from the side of the Pei family army formation. The hundreds of cavalry behind him also followed him to turn. Occasionally, a few cavalry could not withstand such rapid and violent turn, and could not control the war horses under their crotch. They smashed the battle formations of the Pei family army with their horses, causing a bloody storm.
Zuo Guangxian, who failed to attack, did not choose to give up, but led his troops around the Pei family's battle formation and circled at high speed, looking for loopholes in the Pei family's battle formation and was ready to launch the most violent attack at any time.
At the same time, the infantry under Zuo Guangxian also rushed out from the city gate, cooperating with the civilians and yamen runners on the steps, and headed towards the Pei family army on the city wall.
However, at this time, the Pei family army had experienced a sudden attack from the cavalry and had now reacted. Officers at all levels quickly began to resume their duties. They worked hard to adjust their combat formations, leaving hundreds of people to hold back the yamen runners who were counterattacking. After cutting off the rear, the remaining army began to retreat from the city.
According to the regulations of the Pei family army, any officer with the highest official position on the battlefield is responsible for command. Although this regulation is a bit rough, such as if there is no provision between the same level, it is enough to deal with the current critical situation.
At this time, although the Pei family army near the city wall was close to Pei Xiaoer, the hundreds of cavalrymen who were separated by Zuo Guangxian were like a natural barrier. Among the Pei family soldiers near the city wall, Zhou Ti was the one with the highest status.
This little girl said the first launch site is:
Zhou Ti was placed in this position by Pei Xiaoer, and his unique military management skills were his own. His greatest ability was stability, unusual stability. Although he was suddenly threatened by Zuo Guangxian, who was killed in the city, the army was a little panicked.
However, under Zhou Ti's calm command, the remaining Pei family troops under the city wall quickly returned to their calmness.
"Form a formation."
The remaining Pei family troops gathered quickly towards Zhou Ti and soon formed a small square formation. As soon as the battle formation was completed, they collided with the Zuo Guangxian infantry who rushed out of the city in a blink of an eye.
The military formation commanded by Zhou Ti successfully stopped the Zuo Guangxian infantry who rushed out, leaving enough time for the Pei family army to siege the city on the top of the city to go down the city.
As more and more soldiers of the Pei family army came down from the city, another small army formation composed of these people gradually began to take shape. After all the soldiers of the Pei family army on the city were evacuated, the two battle formations formed under the city wall, under the command of Zhou Ti, alternately left the city wall and began to approach the main force of the central army where Pei Xiaoer was.
