When Qian Guiting heard the word "Taihu Lake", he couldn't care less about the pain in his body and was already in a state of shock.
"Protect the commander!" Someone rushed forward from behind and protected Qian Guiting with a shield. The arrows on the mountain kept coming. The soldiers who were going up the mountain immediately retreated. From time to time, some people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Withdraw eastward!" Fortunately, the Suzhou Battalion was well-trained at ordinary times. Although it was attacked at the moment, some people still responded quickly. "The cavalry attacked the left army and covered the entire army's formation."
With the Taihu Army on the mountain and the Left Army behind them, the Suzhou Battalion was trapped in a pincer attack from both front and rear. Everyone knew that it had reached a point where they had to fight.
The officers and soldiers of the Suzhou Battalion Headquarters were panicked but not in a panic, but the nearly two thousand followers of the Queen Mother were already in chaos.
If things go smoothly, these two thousand people will naturally be the icing on the cake. But now the situation has taken a turn for the worse. The soldiers all know that they are being attacked from both sides. The position of the two thousand followers of the Queen Mother is immediately in chaos. Although some generals are shouting desperately
Drink, but most of the two thousand believers were running around in disarray.
The cavalrymen waved their swords and shouted, and finally restrained the two thousand people. The Suzhou battalion here also quickly formed a formation.
Hundreds of cavalry rushed south to meet the left army.
Although the left army was poorly equipped, it had the advantage of being outnumbered. When the cavalry attacked, they rushed forward in a black mass. The two armies finally collided. After all, the Suzhou Battalion cavalry had been trained for many years and had extremely strong individual combat capabilities.
The saber slashed left and right, and screamed again and again. The gray-armored cavalry hit the soldiers of the left army like a stormy wave. They screamed and their horses neighed. In an instant, nearly a hundred of them were cut down by the cavalry.
The Suzhou Battalion knew very well that although the cavalry could gain a brief upper hand by continuing the attack, the nearly 10,000 left army soldiers were like ants. Once the cavalry were trapped, they would be quickly exhausted.
Under the command of the generals, the two thousand believers reluctantly gathered into a team, and then quickly rushed towards the left army to support the cavalry who were fighting hard in the left army's formation.
The two thousand infantrymen of the Suzhou camp did not dare to move rashly. They formed a formation facing the direction of Funiu Mountain. The shield soldiers were in front, protecting the archers and shooting arrows towards the mountain to fight back.
In the eyes of the Suzhou Battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Taihu Army was definitely superior to that of the Zuo Army. If all the soldiers and horses were to attack the Zuo Army, and the Taihu Army swooped down from the mountain and attacked from behind, the Suzhou Battalion would be defeated immediately.
portion of the slaughter.
The five thousand soldiers and horses could only be divided into two groups. The cavalry and two thousand believers fought a bloody battle against the left army, while the main force of the Suzhou battalion was left to resist the Taihu army.
In the left army formation, although the cavalry were surrounded by groups, they still relied on their superior equipment to kill fiercely. Blood sprayed in the air, and screams could not be heard.
Two thousand believers have also rushed forward and slammed into the left army like a torrent. The soldiers on both sides have not been trained. What's more terrible is that the followers of the Queen Mother all wear belts around their waists. The red and black belts can be clearly distinguished.
But who is the enemy and who is the friend, once mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish.
However, the cavalry of the Suzhou Battalion had distinctive uniforms and armor. Although the Zuo army could not identify the two thousand believers, the cavalry could see clearly. The dark Zuo army soldiers used various weapons to kill the cavalry.
Qian Guiting turned a little pale when he heard the sound of fighting like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
The cavalry went out into battle, but more than thirty cavalry were left to guard him.
At this moment, he was not only a little panicked, but also angry. He thought that if someone under his command had not reminded him that there was still food and grass in Funiu Mountain, he might have led his troops to withdraw, and he would not have been ambushed by the enemy for food and grass.
, but now they are surrounded, which makes Mr. Qian very upset.
Overnight, the situation took a turn for the worse. Qian Guiting had never thought of such an outcome in advance.
He knew very well that when Shuning City was besieged, the Taihu Army suddenly appeared for reinforcements, but when the Suzhou Camp was besieged, it was impossible for soldiers and horses to descend from the sky to come for reinforcements.
The three forces of the Suzhou Queen Mother Association are the left and right armies in addition to the Suzhou battalion.
The right army was annexed by the left army, and the left army was now the enemy. The remaining soldiers and horses in Suzhou City were determined to stay in the city, and they would never come out with a single soldier.
The Suzhou camp was still at a disadvantage yesterday. Of course, those in Suzhou city could not have expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse. Even if Qian Guanghan immediately sent troops to help and had wings, he would not be able to arrive.
The more Mr. Qian thought about it, the more chills ran down his back.
If the Suzhou camp is destroyed here today, then the Jiangnan Qian family will definitely be in disaster.
The left army fought fiercely and the situation reached a stalemate.
Although the cavalry plus the two thousand men were far less powerful than the Zuo army, fortunately, the hundreds of cavalry were indeed brave and good at fighting, and most of the Zuo army were ordinary people. Facing the bravery of the Suzhou camp cavalry, although they were surrounded
, but it is almost impossible to annihilate it quickly.
The infantry of the Suzhou Battalion were well prepared. They did not dare to charge up the mountain, let alone turn around to attack the Zuo Army. They only waited for the Taihu Army to come down the mountain. However, after waiting for a long time, the Taihu Army on the mountain was very patient and never rushed down.
Qian Guiting had cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He didn't know how the situation would develop next, or even whether he would be able to leave here alive.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a horn finally ringing from the mountain.
The infantry of the Suzhou Battalion became even more nervous. The archers were just waiting for the Taihu Army to rush down from the mountain and kill them immediately.
These archers have been trained for many years. Although it cannot be said that every arrow is perfect, looking at the whole of Suzhou, they are definitely the most powerful pair of archers.
I could vaguely see a figure moving behind the big tree on the mountain, and Qian Guiting had already drawn his sword.
The horn kept sounding, and everyone's attention was focused on the mountain. At this moment, Qian Guiting faintly heard a strange sound coming from the side. He frowned and couldn't help turning his head and looked over.
, and immediately turned pale with shock.
Not only Qian Guiting heard the sound, but the infantrymen of the Suzhou Battalion who were waiting for the Taihu Army to rush down the mountain also heard the sound, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
"Cavalry...!" someone exclaimed.
A group of cavalry appeared from the flank like cutting through the wind and waves. Their gray armored horses looked like a long gray dragon. Under the setting sun, their swords were blazing and their scales shone with a cold light.
It's less than two hundred people who came to ride it, but its momentum is like a rainbow and its speed is as fast as lightning.
Qian Guiting was shocked. He knew that it could never be his cavalry, and he instantly guessed the origin of that cavalry.
The Youshen General suffered successive defeats in Shuning County. Naturally, there were spies who reported what happened here to Suzhou City. The Qian family not only knew that the Youjun's food and grass had been completely burned by fire, but also knew that the Youjun had suffered a ghost attack.
A cavalry attack.
General You Shen didn't even know the origin of that cavalry, but the Qian family knew.
The Qian family did not forget the Neiku cavalry on Lingyan Mountain. After She Yue escaped from Suzhou City, they even quickly sent a team of troops to guard the foot of the mountain, hoping to trap the Neiku cavalry on the mountain.
It's just that they underestimated the strength of the Neiku cavalry after all. Jiang Xiaochun not only led the cavalry to break through the siege, but also brought everyone on the mountain out of Lingyan Mountain safe and sound. After that, this group of people suddenly disappeared like ghosts, and the Qian family knew that the right army had been captured.
When a ghost cavalry of less than two hundred men attacked, they had already concluded that it was the Neku cavalry.
Now this ghostly cavalry suddenly appeared on the flank, coming as fast as lightning.
Qian Guiting looked horrified, but the captain in charge was already terrified.
He knew that in this case, if the cavalry rushed from the flank, the formation would be immediately dispersed, and the scattered team would definitely lead to unimaginable results. At this time, he could not care about anything else and shouted loudly: "Form up!
Block the cavalry, form a formation, block the cavalry.”
The shield soldiers and archers were all aiming at Funiu Mountain. At this time, they heard the military order and in a hurry, they could only quickly change their formations.
However, the speed of the formation change cannot match the speed of the cavalry. Before the cavalry got close, they were already bending their bows and setting arrows. A round of arrows rained down like raindrops. The Suzhou infantry were changing formations.
Being hit by this rain of arrows again, the whole scene became even more chaotic.
The Neiku cavalry were naturally much more elite than the Suzhou battalion. During the charge, they used arrows to disrupt the enemy's formation. When they were about to approach, they already drew back their bows as quickly as possible and instantly drew their sabers, just like a sword.
Like an iron fist, it hit the Suzhou infantry hard. With the momentum of the fast horse, it easily tore apart the already chaotic infantry formation. The saber slashed and blood spilled everywhere. The iron cavalry was everywhere.
If the body is sharp, it will kill the Buddha if it blocks the Buddha, and it will kill the devil if it blocks the devil.
Qian Guiting's face turned pale. At this time, he heard thunderous shouts on Funiu Mountain. He turned around and saw countless figures rushing out from behind the trees on the mountain, like a pack of wild wolves, sloping down the mountain.
"Commander, leave quickly!" A school lieutenant rushed to Qian Guiting and transformed, shouting to Qian Guiting who was stunned: "The situation is over, let's leave quickly!"
Only then did Qian Guiting come to his senses.
If you want to live, you can't die here!
He did not hesitate anymore, shook the horse's reins, and urged the horse to move forward. The small number of cavalry around him also knew that a disaster was coming. Even though the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Suzhou Battalion was not weak, the formation was completely broken up by the Neiku cavalry. The Taihu Army swooped down from above.
In such a chaotic state, it is almost impossible to block the opponent's offensive.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
When some soldiers saw the cavalry escorting Qian Guiting and fled, they lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions, completely losing their will to resist.
Qian Guiting took advantage of the chaos and fled in a hurry under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry. At this time, he didn't care about money, food, soldiers, or She Yue. His only thought was to escape as far away as possible.
No matter what, you can't lose your life here.
He couldn't even help but look back, only to see a scene he would never forget.
The Taihu Army swooped down, slashing their swords and spears directly at the soldiers of the Suzhou Battalion. Under the joint efforts of the Neiku cavalry and the Taihu Army, the officers and soldiers of the Suzhou Battalion cried out loudly and blood flowed like rivers.
Mr. Qian was completely disappointed.
The Suzhou camp was over, and the Suzhou Qian family's biggest capital was ruined in his own hands. Even if he escaped death, the Suzhou Qian family would definitely face a disaster!
