Tan Shao opened his eyes wide and laughed: "Haha, I knew the commander would definitely come to save us, Lao Suo, come on, go for it!"
Suo Miao's voice came along the wind: "Ah Shao, big stone, hurry up and follow it in formation. I don't know how long I can hold it!"
Tan Shao's smile froze on his face, because he found that behind Suo Miao, there was no large group of cavalry, only four to five hundred cavalry, charging in from one side of the gallop, followed by dozens of cavalry dragging more than ten
A large baggage cart was scattered on the horse road to block the road. Obviously, no other cavalry would be reinforced from this road.
Tan Shao murmured: "What's going on? What's going on? Is it just these few hundred cavalry?"
Liu Zhong's voice sounded from behind Tan Shao: "Ah Shao, get on your horse quickly."
Tan Shao's expression changed, and he turned to look behind him. He saw Liu Zhong leading more than thirty personal guards, jumping between corpses and traps, and soon ran in front of him, and behind them
, more than a thousand cavalry and more than 2,000 civilians and auxiliary troops also formed in the rear. The civilians hurriedly moved the corpses of the armored knights outside the trap and took away the living horses. These five thousand armored knights
Everyone was loaded into the formation, and almost all the people were dead, but there were still more than a thousand horses alive. They were led aside at this moment, and they obeyed as if they were being amnesty.
Tan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Zhong, what are you doing? Lao Suo is charging over there. Why don't you follow him? He also blocked the road. I can't understand."
Liu Zhong nodded, looked at Shen Yunzi and Shen Linzi on the side, and said solemnly: "I followed the commander's order to come to support, but this battle still depends mainly on you, Yunzi, this time
You fought well, but then you have to fight hard with the enemy."
Shen Yunzi nodded, glanced at Shen Tianzi, who was still leading hundreds of swordsmen to kill the last few dozen armored cavalry, and said in a deep voice: "We have been aware of this for a long time, but now we don't have enough troops.
Weak, you have nearly 2,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry brought by Ah Shao and Da Shitou, and we have 3,000 Wu swordsmen here. When necessary, these civilians and auxiliary soldiers can also wear armor and go into battle.
As long as the opponent's cavalry can't charge, you can definitely fight."
Shen Qingzhi frowned. Three hundred steps away, Suo Miao was already waving his sword, leading his men to start a fight with the Yan Army armored cavalry who had just rushed into the formation. The place was so narrow that the cavalry on both sides could not attack at full speed. They almost had to
They wielded weapons on their horses for face-to-face combat.
Zhu Lingshi also jumped out of the car formation with more than a thousand of his subordinates, tilted the crossbow in his hand upward, and together with more than 200 archers, achieved a large-angle lob. The bow and crossbow arrows passed over Suo Miao's troops.
Twenty or thirty steps ahead, they were scattered among the formations of Yan's armored cavalry.
But these knights, covered in double-layered armor, could hardly penetrate even the first layer of armor from a distance of more than a hundred steps. They waved their shields while controlling the reins, and continued steadily.
Moving forward, five hundred steps away, a "Murong" flag fluttered in the wind, and the next general in the formation was escorted by more than a thousand chain-linked cavalry holding bows and arrows. He walked forward slowly. He was not the commander of the Yan Army's cavalry.
, Murong Xingzong?
Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "Thanks to Lao Suo's active attack, Yan's armored cavalry was not allowed to directly cross the camp gate and attack our unformed defense line. But his troops were too small. Even with the support of big stone bows and arrows, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do anything.
We can't hold on for too long. We can't wait for these corpses to be cleaned up before taking action. Let's go up and help now. The long-sword warriors I have here can accompany your cavalry assault. As long as you can rush to the front and join the battle group, you can attack them.
The enemy's armored cavalry cause damage!"
Liu Zhong shook his head: "We have to carry out the commander's order, lure the enemy into the battle, and then engage in a melee with them. The outcome of this battle is not the battlefield here, but the overall situation. You hurry up and set up the defense line. Once this place is cleared,
I will lead the cavalry to launch a counterattack against the enemy's armored cavalry."
At this point, he looked at Tan Shao and threw the piece of silk book in his arms over: "This is the tip bag given to me by the commander-in-chief when he sent me to the rear army. Brother Tieniu must also have the corresponding content."
Tan Shao took the brocade bag and looked at it. Shen Yunzi said in a deep voice, "Then what do you want us to do now?"
Liu Zhong said seriously: "This is the road between camps. It is not conducive for the cavalry to deploy. Immediately, General Tan and I will lead the cavalry to stand out according to the commander's instructions, and then go out and never come back. You can only rely on yourself here."
The commander-in-chief has commanded that Shen Yunzi control the generals and be responsible for the defense here. We don’t need to kill many enemies, we just need to attract this armored cavalry firmly here."
Shen Yunzi's expression changed: "General Tan is leaving too?"
Tan Shao finished reading the silk book at this moment, stuffed the scroll into his arms, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the commander-in-chief's arrangement. I'm sorry, brother Yunzi, we are going to other places."
However, I will only take away the three hundred generals and guards here. They will ride on the horses left by the Yan army and leave with me. The remaining two thousand long-armed soldiers will stay here and are under your control."
Shen Linzi murmured: "Is there anything more important than being here with the Yan army's armor and cavalry? If all the cavalry in my army are going to go into battle, is it..."
His eyes suddenly lit up, he stopped his mouth, and Liu Zhong said calmly: "Lin Zi, the military plane must not be leaked. We only need to act according to the commander's instructions."
Shen Linzi nodded, glanced in the direction of the commander, and a look of reverence flashed across his face: "Follow the commander, whether you live or die, you will have no regrets. It seems that the black robe is not among the armored knights in front of you.
, he must want to wait for us to use all our strength before attacking later, but I believe that all his arrangements cannot escape the eyes of the commander-in-chief. This battle so far has proved that our commander-in-chief is a good chess player.
One move!"
Shen Qingzhi said in a deep voice: "Zhong, don't worry, we are here. As long as our Shen brothers are here, we will never let the enemy cavalry break even half a step."
Liu Zhong nodded. Tan Shao glanced at the peasants around him who were cleaning up the corpses on the road, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Liu Zhong looked forward and saw Suo Miao's troops rushing left and right. However, the Yan army was equipped with armor and cavalry. They were all in teams of ten, connected by iron chains. Even if one person was killed, they could not break the enemy. In the formation of the army, as the battle continued, in the rear row of the Yan army, the heavy armored cavalry took control of the reins and moved forward slowly while setting up their bows and firing arrows. They also shot the cavalry and bows and arrows behind the opponent's line. hand.
