Chapter 3595: Soldiers and horses go first to block the city gap
Tan Shao nodded: "Lin Zi's worry is not unreasonable. If the cavalry rushes out of the city and pursues them on the plains outside the city, even if we have 30,000 soldiers and horses, it will not be easy to stop them. Therefore, we need more Before they rush out, block them in the city. As long as the cavalry can't rush into the formation on a large scale, it won't be so scary!"
Shen Tianzi said in a deep voice: "Brother Ah Shao, give me the order. Give me three thousand troops. I will block the gap and prevent them from rushing out. If it is too late, there may be changes."
Shen Linzi said loudly: "Third brother, don't be impulsive. Now we have finally reorganized our troops and horses. If we are defeated again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reorganize. If the enemy forces lure us forward and then suddenly attack, Our army is in danger of collapse!"
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "But if we do nothing here, there is a risk of wasting the opportunity to fight. Even if all three thousand people are destroyed, it will not affect the entire army. If you are worried, just watch me lead the troops forward. That is, you defend from behind."
Shen Linzi raised his eyebrows: "Third brother, what are you talking about? Am I, Shen Linzi, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't forget who led the cavalry to attack you just now."
Shen Tianzi said sternly: "Fourth brother, don't think that you understand everything just because you have read more military books. Hesitation is also a taboo for military strategists. Once you miss something, it will be difficult to think about it again later. Brother A Shao , stop delaying, wait until the enemy is in formation and we want to fight, it will be difficult."
Kuai En suddenly said: "Brother Shao, what the Shen brothers said is reasonable. You must be on guard. Otherwise, let's test it out first. Don't send out a large army. Just ride forward with more than a thousand steps. In this way, even if the enemy has something With the last move, we won’t be overwhelmed all at once. Instead, we can test their true and false intentions.”
Tan Shao pondered for a moment and said, "Dazhuang, are you really willing to go out and give it a try?"
Shen Tianzi said anxiously: "Brother Ah Shao, let me go. I just came back from there. I'm familiar with the situation there. If necessary, I can still use the unbroken wooden mechanism man."
Tan Shao shook his head: "There is no need for this. Most of those wooden armor mechanisms have been destroyed and we can no longer fight. Moreover, we need to send more wooden armor mechanics. These are technical talents, most of them are Zhang Gang's disciples. This There won’t be many people left soon.”
Having said this, he looked at Shen Tianzi: "Tianzi, after a hard battle, you came back from the gate of hell. What you need now is to have a good rest instead of holding on. Da Zhuang is a new force. Let him try and you have recovered your strength. It has great uses."
Shen Tianzi sighed helplessly: "Since Brother Ah Shao said this, I have no choice but to obey. Da Zhuang, if you take my position this time, you have to give it back to me next time."
Kuai En smiled and said: "Don't worry, when we attack the city later, I will definitely let you rush to the front. However, you have to take a good rest now and recover your body before you can fight."
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and the brief unhappiness just now disappeared. After laughing, Tan Shao looked at Kuai En and said: "Okay, now I will give you a thousand men and horses, plus Suo Miao in front, Shen Qingzhi The cavalry are all under your command. Advance to the area around the wooden armored men as soon as possible. Remember, do not advance lightly. If the enemy approaches, drive them away with crossbows. I will give you twenty more carts. , hold it in front to prevent the enemy's attack."
Kuai En said sternly: "As ordered, I will stand thirty steps in front of the city wall to block the enemy's exit from the city for the army. There is one more thing, brother A Shao, that is Rong Zu..."
A look of sadness flashed across Tan Shao's face, and his voice began to grow louder: "Rongzu, Rongzu, it's such a pity. I didn't expect that Raptors and Rongzu, these good young men of our Beifu brothers, failed to succeed when they started. I didn't make any great achievements, but I was defeated at the foot of Guanggu City. I don't know how sad Brother Jinu will be at this moment. That's all, Da Zhuang, if you can find Rongzu in the rubble ahead, Please bring his body back, at least we have to give the commander an explanation."
Shen Linzi curled up his lips: "I'm afraid that in such a city collapse, even the corpses will be smashed to pieces, and they may not be found. We should still focus on the overall situation, win the battle first, and then clean up the battlefield. That’s it.”
Tan Shao nodded: "Lin Zi is right. After the fight is over, I will personally apologize to Brother Jinu. Da Zhuang, if you specialize in fighting..."
Just as he was speaking, a lieutenant behind him suddenly exclaimed: "They are coming out. The enemy troops in the city are coming out. Look quickly."
Everyone's expressions changed and they looked forward. They saw dozens of blue knights coming out of the city. They met with the remaining cavalry who had been defeated before and scattered towards the city. They turned to lead these cavalrymen. They turned back, and the more than a hundred Jin cavalrymen who were chasing after them from Suomiao and below were also a little surprised. They retreated slightly and prepared to reorganize their formation. The situation in front became stable again.
Kuai En gritted his teeth: "Please give the order to Brother A Shao. I will go out now and try out the intentions of these enemy cavalry. If they really want to attack in a big way, I can also cover A Miao and Xanthium's return."
Tan Shao looked serious and said: "Okay, you must be careful. I will add 500 more troops to you. You can bring 2,000 infantry and cavalry, including 200 cavalry, to withstand the front. Again, be careful this time." , in front of the big car roof, with archers at the back, and cavalry on both wings to protect it, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults!"
Kuai En made a loud promise and ran to the front. His order was quickly conveyed to the more than ten sergeants around him and spread to the more than ten teams of sergeants at the front who were ready to go. Soon, these more than a thousand Jin troops were at Kuai En. Under En's command, they moved forward steadily.
Tan Shao took a deep breath, looked at Shen Linzi, and said: "The other armies still need you to spend some time reorganizing. Within half a quarter of an hour, I need you to lead five thousand troops to advance."
Shen Linzi nodded and said, "Leave it to me, Brother Ah Shao, don't worry."
As he spoke, he also rode away. At the moment before running away, he suddenly thought of something, stopped his mount, turned to look at Shen Tianzi, and grinned: "Third brother, don't worry about what happened just now, little brother. You only make mistakes when you are anxious. After this battle, I will treat you to a drink to make amends."
Shen Tianzi laughed and waved his hand to him: "As an elder brother, how can I argue with your younger brother? After the fight, I'll buy you a drink, but you have to be careful."
Shen Linzi nodded and rode out. Tan Shao looked at Shen Tianzi, who was a little disappointed and had been watching Shen Linzi go away, and said with a smile: "Why, are you a little disappointed that there is no fight?"
