Chapter 3601: The wooden armor left-behind army comes out
Zhang Gang gritted his teeth: "But as a general, you should also know the consequences of missing the opportunity to fight! It is unknown how the enemy forces in the city are now, and the enemies outside the city exist in reality. If we do not eliminate these enemies before us, The enemy, our army has no peace outside the city. Can we allow the enemy's cavalry to exist outside the city at the same time as we attack the city? I don't believe that Marshal Liu will use such a method of attack here!"
Tan Shao's voice came from dozens of steps away: "Master Zhang said it well."
Everyone's expressions changed, and they turned to look at the source of the sound. They saw a cloud of smoke in the distance, and the sound of military boots hitting the ground also came with the smoke. In front of the smoke, Tan Shao was running with more than a hundred mounted guards. At that time, he had a smile on his face and looked confident.
Shen Linzi frowned slightly and saluted Tan Shao: "I've seen Shao Shuai, why are you here?"
Tan Shao smiled and said: "We have almost reorganized. I will bring 3,000 men and come immediately. There will be 10,000 troops to follow. Plus you have 6,000 or 7,000 men in front, which is enough to attack the city. Why?" , the discussion was quite intense, what are your thoughts now?”
Zhang Gang said: "My subordinates believe that the enemy's cavalry is outside the city and must be destroyed. However, our army's cavalry is limited in number now. The best way is to dispatch wooden armored machinemen to directly attack the front line of the city gate. This can Block the enemy's attack channel, and we can even open another gap through the city gate."
Shen Linzi said in a deep voice: "This big gap is the best direction to enter the city. Brother Ah Shao, don't waver. The enemy cavalry outside the city here is just a partial force to lure the enemy. The blue-armored cavalry of the King of the North Sea must be right in front." , our main force cannot be led astray."
Zhang Gang sneered: "The city can be defended with mechanisms and traps, but how can we use cavalry to defend the city? These green-armored Yue cavalry must be the vanguard, and the Beihai King's troops saw that the gap was blocked, so they would Turn to the city gate and rush out. If we enter the city through the gap, the troops in front will be trapped inside, and tens of thousands of cavalry will chase us behind. Then we will be finished. Shaoshuai, don't hesitate. Just hold on here. This is the real direction of attack. , it’s still at the city gate.”
Tan Shao did not reply immediately. He looked ahead and saw the more than two hundred soldiers standing on the top of the rubble and asked, "Who is on that pile of rubble and what happened?"
Kuai En said quickly: "It's my nephew Kuai Yue who went out with two hundred soldiers to observe the movements in the city. However, they just reported that there was a strong wind and sand in the gap and they couldn't see the situation inside clearly."
Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "In other words, we have occupied this favorable terrain and are not afraid of the soldiers and horses in the city coming out?"
Shen Linzi's expression changed, and he quickly said: "Shao Shuai, don't be careless. There is no danger to defend outside the city, and there is no way to stop the enemy's attack. If the troops of the King of the North Sea really suddenly attack, let alone this Two hundred people, even with more than a thousand strong soldiers and horses, I am afraid they will not be able to stop them."
Tan Shao nodded: "However, we don't know the movements of the enemy's cavalry now. There are still cavalry coming out of the city. If it is really the main force of the enemy's cavalry near the city gate, we will be passive. In this way, the wooden armor The agents turned around and set up defenses along the gap in the city, while the 10,000-foot cavalry pressed towards the city gate."
Shen Linzi's expression changed greatly: "Brother A Shao, you must not force the main force towards the city gate. The enemy troops will break out here, but what should we do?"
Tan Shao shook his head: "There is a wooden armor trap, and there are two hundred men and horses on the pile of rocks. I will add one thousand more, and leave another two thousand people behind to set up defense behind the wooden armor trap. Isn't this enough for defense?"
Quin sighed: "Then please let me defend here. I will definitely defend it firmly."
Tan Shao curled up his lips and said: "Dazhuang, you, Tianzi, and Linzi all have to follow me. We can only defend here but not attack. Zhang Dajiang, you can take the wooden armored machine here and let General Kuai Yue How do you feel about accompanying you to help guard?"
Zhang Gang opened his eyes wide: "Aren't you going to let my wooden armored machine attack the city? Stay here, this..."
Tan Shao's face darkened: "I have decided that although the wooden armor machine is powerful, it is slow in movement and lacks mobility. It is best to stay on the defensive. Kuai Yue is also a rising star who has experienced hundreds of battles. He If we cooperate with you here, we will definitely be able to hold on."
Shen Tianzi curled up his lips: "Brother Ah Shao, you'd better leave me here, I'm familiar with this place."
Tan Shao shook his head: "Your Wu soldiers are sharp men in close combat. When we get to the city gate in a while, you may have to climb the city. It's enough to have Kuai Yue here. Give him the order to only defend but not attack. Everything has to wait." I'll talk about it when I get back. If the enemy cavalry suddenly charges out, raise three red flags and ask for help."
Quin nodded: "I'll inform him right away." He said, riding his horse towards the rubble pile.
Zhang Gang sighed softly: "I don't know when I will be able to kill the enemy with my own hands and take revenge!"
Tan Shao patted him on the shoulder and said: "There must be a chance. We will rush into the city and eliminate the bandit army. By then, your wooden armored machine man will definitely be able to show its power. However, before that, We have to eliminate the threat of enemy cavalry outside the city. After we deal with the Yan cavalry at the city gate, we will let you attack the city."
Zhang Gang gritted his teeth: "Then don't make me wait too long!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the dozen or so wooden armored robots behind him, and said loudly: "Turn all around and move into the gap to set up defense formations."
Tan Shao nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Shen Linzi, and said: "Go ahead, gather our follow-up troops and advance toward the city wall. As I said, leave two thousand long spearmen and shield bearers here to hold the front line. .”
Shen Linzi sighed and performed a military salute: "Yes!"
Guanggu, outside the west gate.
Yueshou looked at Hedar, who was covered in fireworks, and said with a smile: "Very good, my brother, you have completed your task very well." As he said this, he took off the big water bag on his saddle. , and threw it at Hedar who was running towards him.
Hedar took the handbag and poured it into his mouth greedily. He drank three big gulps before putting down the big water bag. While wiping the water droplets on his mouth and beard, he said: "I almost missed it." It’s your turn, my eldest brother, I didn’t mean to cheat this time, I really almost failed, grandma, more than a hundred brothers were lost just like that.”
Yueshou nodded: "I've seen it all. These damn logs are indeed quite troublesome. If we shoot them like this when we charge into the formation, we will only suffer greater losses. Okay, now a large group of Jin troops are coming towards us.
