Chapter 3615: On the verge of collapse, everyone takes action
The handsome stage, which had been full of laughter and laughter just now, suddenly became stagnant again. Liu Yu's words aroused the worries deep in everyone's heart. Yes, the biggest problem is the movements of the general Murong Zhen.
, even when the Yuebu Qingjia cavalry left the west gate, Liu Yu asked Murong Zhen's whereabouts several times, so that when Murong Zhen suddenly burst out of the gap, everyone's heads "buzzed" and went blank for an instant.
.
But this time, the familiar and terrifying feeling from an hour ago came back again. Hu Fan frowned and said, "Commander, are you worried that Murong Zhen will come out from the city gate?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Based on the intelligence just now, the enemy troops protruded from the gap and attacked Tan Shao's rear army. Although we were hit by a gap where we were unable to turn and had no cover from large vehicles, our army responded after all.
, relying on the cavalry counterattack and the hollow square formation, they still barely blocked this wave of enemy attacks, and Murong Zhen never showed up. He used the brave general Murong Ping to charge, which has been confirmed."
Liu Muzhi suddenly said: "Will Murong Zhen continue to lead troops from the gap and launch a second wave of attacks? Although the first wave of attacks did not directly rush to Tan Shao's commander's flag, our front-line infantry suffered losses.
It was disastrous, the cavalry was almost completely wiped out, and the second-line phalanx could only barely hold on. If we increase the strength of the assault, then our second-line phalanx is at risk of collapse. If the second-line phalanx loses again, we will really go straight to the commander.
Under the flag."
Liu Yu shook his head: "The emphasis on cavalry assault is to attack the opponent unprepared. If Murong Zhen follows your strategy, he will follow Murong Ping's first wave of attack teams and attack in echelons. He will not give our army a break.
Chances are, even if Murong Ping falls into the hollow square formation, if Murong Zhen continues to attack with more than 3,000 cavalry, our formation will not be able to stop him. He did not attack at that time, which means that he
There won’t be an attack from this direction. What I’m worried about is..."
At this point, he frowned, looked at the scout, and said, "Is it still Shen Linzi who is defending the city gate now?"
The scout quickly replied: "It was General Shen who was defending. However, in order to defend the flank just now, Commander Shao had an order to urgently mobilize seventy carts and two thousand elite soldiers of General Shen to defend the flank. There was also a
Most of the eight-stone bull-running crossbows have also been moved to the flanks. Just now..."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "What's happening around the enemy's city gate?"
The scout began to sweat on his forehead: "The sky is still filled with smoke and dust, and nothing can be seen. From time to time, small groups of blue armored cavalry appear and appear, but they do not launch a full-scale charge against General Shen's headquarters."
Liu Yu sighed and said: "Send an order for all the cavalry under Liu Jingxuan's command to quickly go to Xicheng to support and prepare to clean up the mess. Also, the reinforcements attacking the city gate have also stopped advancing and will join Liu Jingxuan's command to support Xicheng."
Wang Miaoyin's expression changed: "Commander, are you expecting Xicheng to be defeated?"
Liu Yu nodded, with a solemn expression: "The attack on our army's flank formation just now must have been Murong Zhen's plan. He first attacked our army's rear formation, forcing the main force of our army to concentrate there, and then attacked the flank and mobilized our army.
Draw out the troops in the direction of the city gate to defend. Now is the time when he really wants to attack. I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching quickly. Two scouts, covered in sweat and even hit by two arrows, ran over quickly. When they reached the audience, they rolled their saddles and fell off their horses. , with a cry in his voice: "Commander Qi, the Yan Army, and the Yan Army's armored cavalry suddenly came out in large numbers from the direction of the west city gate, and headed straight for General Shen Linzi's headquarters. Although General Shen resisted with all his strength, he was outnumbered, and the front line had been destroyed. breakthrough!"
At this moment, everyone was shocked. The writing brushes in the hands of the two military officers fell directly onto the paper in front of them with a "click" sound. The surface of the rice paper filled with beautiful small characters suddenly exploded into a black ink. Flowers, and the shadow area in everyone's heart is like the ink flowers scattered on the paper, rapidly expanding.
Liu Muzhi stood up directly from behind the case, sweating profusely, and said in a deep voice: "How should Tan Shao respond? Has there been an emergency deployment of troops to counterattack to stop it? Who is the enemy general who breaks out?"
Another scout gritted his teeth and said: "It was Murong Zhen, King of the North Sea, who personally led his troops to attack. The Yan army swept across the battlefield like a blue tide. The sound of Ula shook the sky and the earth. Not only that, in the direction of the gap and the flanks, all the Yan cavalry They all launched a large-scale assault at the same time, and our army has been plunged into a bitter battle. The connection between various departments has been severed, and each army has fallen into a situation of being divided and surrounded, fighting on its own!"
Wang Miaoyin bit her lip and murmured: "Is it really going to collapse? Tan Shao, Tan Shao, what are you doing?"
The previous scout wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "General Tan has ordered that all ministries are not allowed to rescue or evacuate. They must stick to their positions and fight the enemy without retreating. Unless the enemy cavalry reaches thirty steps in front, , when you see the enemy cavalry clearly, do not fire arrows!"
Liu Yu nodded, his expression still serious: "This is the best choice in this situation. The enemy cavalry breaks into our formation and separates our defense lines. If we act rashly or run, we will not be able to distinguish ourselves from the smoke. It is very likely to kill each other, and it is also very easy to hurt our army by firing arrows randomly in our formation. At this time, the team fights on its own and sticks to its position. Although it is impossible to win, it can delay the time to the greatest extent. To Wang Zhongde I quickly sent an order to Liu Jingxuan, asking them to hurry up and speed up. The cavalry should go ahead without waiting for the infantry. When they get to the battlefield, they should spread more flags and drums and shout loudly to enhance the morale of our soldiers in Xicheng, but don't rush to fight!"
Ding Wu's eyes widened: "Brother Jinu, rescuing troops is like putting out fire. They were already ravaged by others, so why don't you do it again?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "The enemy's cavalry moved at high speed, using the cover of smoke and dust to dart around. Our cavalry arrived unexpectedly, and there was no way for the brothers in Xicheng to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. In a chaotic battle, they would only kill each other. The only one who arrived first was The battlefield shouts loudly to let our army know that reinforcements have arrived, and the morale of the army is stable, so that we can act according to the opportunity. The most terrifying thing about the armored cavalry assault is not their own impact, but the power of the conflict back and forth on the battlefield through the smoke and dust. The three Five hundred people can produce the effect of thousands of troops. Only by stopping them and reducing their speed can we have a chance to stabilize our position and counterattack again!"
Having said this, Liu Yu paused and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers and horses here in Nancheng are blasting drums and horns at the same time. In the direction of the city gate and the ghost wall, attack with all their strength, sound a thousand drums, and charge the city!"
