"Damn it!" Zhao Mang looked at his soldiers who fell in the rain of arrows in front of the guards and couldn't help but curse. He specially led his subordinates into the enemy's formation and got entangled with the enemy in order to avoid the enemy's bows and arrows
Unexpectedly, the opponent's commander was so cruel that in order to use his long-range attack, he solved it with his own soldiers.
Seeing his subordinates set a distance between Qianniuwei and re-forming a line of defense behind him, and after advancing layer by layer, Ling Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Send the order! All departments work together and advance layer by layer. I want to completely solve them here."
"Arrowman, get ready!"
"shoot……"
The rain of arrows rose into the sky, and after a whistling sound in the sky, it fell into the Qianniu Guards again. Suddenly, more than a hundred soldiers of Qianniu Guards fell down. As the rain of arrows continued to appear, the soldiers of Qianniu Guards were gradually suppressed.
The guards' defense line cannot be broken through the guards' defense line, and the rear was rain of arrows, and for a moment, it fell into a disadvantage. In addition, the comparison of the forces between the two sides, the defeat of Qianniu Guard has basically become a foregone conclusion.
"General, withdraw! Take your people back to Jizhou and avenge your brothers in the future!" Several lieutenants came to Zhao Mang and said repeatedly.
Zhao Mang laughed and said, "I, Zhao Mang, have never planned to abandon my brothers and run away alone. Even if I die, I will die in battle with my brothers."
"General..."
Zhao Mang waved his hand, interrupted the words of several lieutenants, and said in a deep voice: "No need to say much, brothers, kill me!"
Seeing that the soldiers in front of him were all injured and killed, and there were only more than 5,000 people following him, Zhao Mang couldn't help feeling distressed. Three thousand people, and in just a short while, three thousand people were lost. Although the guards were
Nearly three thousand corpses were left behind, but the other party still had more than 15,000, and his own disadvantages were getting bigger and bigger.
When he gathered the soldiers together again, Zhao Mang looked at the Qianniu Guard soldiers beside him and shouted: "Brothers, everyone is good, and they have not lost my Qianniu Guard's face. The guards have nothing to be afraid of,
Like us, they were raised by their father and mother. They could cut off our heads and our spears could still penetrate their chests! Today, even if we die, we will die in the battle."
"Bloody battle to the end!"
The generals around Zhao Mang took advantage of the opportunity to raise their arms and roar. Their ferocious faces showed a strong murderous intent, like a god of evil spirits who had chosen people and devoured them.
"Bloody battle to the end!"
All the Thousand Niu Guards roared, and although their voices were already hoarse, they were still roaring at the top of their lungs. Such a roar might not help them kill the enemy, but it could give them the courage to treat it as thousands of times.
When thousands of people gathered together and shouted wildly, the fanatical momentum was enough to make their blood burn.
In the middle of the guards, Ling Xiao looked sideways at the knights in the center of the Qianniu Guard Army, looked surprised, and looked around and asked, "Who is that person? Can Qianniu Guards share the same hatred for the enemy? Morale is soaring!"
General Liu Yi, the general of the Shenwu Army, rode his horse forward and said to Ling Xiao: "Sir, this person is Zhao Xun's brother, the deputy general of Qianniu Guard, and the head coach of Qianniu Guard after Zhao Xun left, Zhao Mang!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a sneer, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "It's interesting, what else can he do? The general trend cannot be changed! Zhao Xun's brother, hum... If you pass the order, you must
Kill this person, you must never let him escape!" Ling Xiao was in a state of great mood until Situ Lei was in his current mood. Situ Lei would be in a great mood if he could kill Zhao Xun's brother.
When the entire Qianniu Guard army broke out in shocking shouts, Ling Xiao was also a little uneasy. Although he could win, it did not mean that he could ignore the casualties of his own army.
Ling Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, and he said coldly: "It's getting more and more interesting. Zhao Mang is really extraordinary!"
Suddenly, the murderous intent in his eyes was so great that his heart, which he had disapproved, seemed to have become hot.
Since Qianniuwei showed unprecedented high fighting spirit and wanted to fight to the death, Ling Xiao decided to give his opponent the treatment he deserved. He decided to solve these people with the strongest attack. He asked Zhao Mang's head to think of Situ Lei's display.
Your own achievements.
Ling Xiao waved his right arm and shouted coldly: "Tell me the order, the sword and shield soldiers are guarding, archers, come on!"
The messenger beside Ling Xiao immediately conveyed Ling Xiao's military order. Ling Xiao's previous ruthlessness made all the guards know that this seemingly literary guy was definitely a ruthless master. After the military order, the troops quickly began to act.
As we got up, the commands and the trumpets were endless. The long trumpets and the intense golden drums all rushed into the sky for a moment, and the final battle was finally about to begin.
"Arrowman is ready..."
Amid the loud trumpets of the officers, all five thousand archers with cold expressions rose from the ground, untied the long bow from their backs, and then began to organize the arrows in the quiver.
"The sword and shield soldiers prepare...the third layer of defense, advance!"
"Lapsman, follow the sword and shield soldiers!"
The three thousand swords and shield soldiers and five thousand spearmen shouted neatly, quickly forming neat infantry cover formations.
"go ahead!"
At the command of the officer, he swung the sword in his hand forward with force.
However, just as the guards were about to advance, there were rumbling sounds coming from the earth.
"Woo woo woo woo..." A low horn sound came from the sky. Gradually, in the north, a thin line appeared, as if a flood spreads from the sky. The black line on the horizon became more and more
The thicker it is, the speed of squirming forward becomes faster and faster.
The soldiers on both sides stopped fighting and looked north! While the suffocating waiting, everyone felt that time and space had grown into eternity at this moment. A faint thunder came from the horizon, and the earth under their feet was also gently
Shiver.
The red spread across the sky and was getting closer and closer. The faces of the guard officers changed, Ling Xiao's face changed, and the faces of all the guard soldiers changed.
It was a cavalry, a huge cavalry! More importantly, at that time, the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo Army took red as the top, and the upper and lower parts were red.
It's approaching, and finally approaching. Sure enough, when Ling Xiao saw the ferrous flag fluttering in the wind, his heart was still very imposing, and his heart beat without any mercy, because the flag
On the top, there was a red Qilin and a flame Qilin flag embroidered, which was the symbol of the Xiaoguo Army at that time. It was roughly evident that the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army had almost seven or eight thousand people, and smoke and dust rolled straight towards them.
"Damn it! What the hell are our horse probingers doing? Why did the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army approach us? We don't know yet!" Ling Xiao, who had always been very gentle, finally cursed.
"Sir, now is not the time to blame us. What should we do?" The generals of the two guards beside Ling Xiao said in a trembling voice.
"What should we do? Just these seven or eight thousand cavalry need our entire army to resist, and it may not be able to resist. Send the order and withdraw! Immediately! Immediately retreat to Zhengxian!" Ling Xiao cursed angrily.
Suddenly, the guards' orders changed. They, who had been preparing to charge the entire army, immediately turned around and retreated. However, they still retreated one after another, with evidence of advancement and retreat, and were not completely disorganized.
"The guard is the guard, well-trained!" Zhao Mang couldn't help but sighed as he looked at the retreating guard.
"General, we won't chase?"
"Yes, why not take advantage of this to counterattack?" Several lieutenants beside Zhao Mang said anxiously. They were suppressed and beaten by the guards before, but now the situation is reversed, so naturally they can't watch them escape.
Zhao Mang looked at the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army who were getting closer and said in a deep voice: "These cavalry should be soldiers from Weizhou Prefecture, Jizhou Prefecture, but there are only 3,000 cavalry in Weizhou Prefecture, where did more than 8,000 people come from? Although thousands of them were thousands
Niuwei still has 5,000 cavalry, but he is also covering the retreat of each unit, so he has no time to change his clothes to help. In addition, our soldiers are exhausted and should not fight again."
"General, is this the cavalry of my Xiaoguo Army?"
"No, it's right that it's my cavalry of Xiaoguo Army, but there shouldn't be so many."
"That's a pity! I used to chase us and fight, but now I finally let them retreat..." Seeing the guard soldiers gradually disappearing from their sight, some lieutenants couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Mang said: "We should be content to save these five thousand brothers. In the future, we will avenge this revenge in person."
After a while, the huge cavalry slowly approached. Perhaps because the guards had evacuated, the cavalry began to slow down slowly, and it took a lot of time to approach slowly.
"Ah! There are only two thousand cavalrymen, this... branches!" A captain next to Zhao Mang pointed to the branches tied behind the horses of the cavalry and exclaimed.
"So that's it! I just said, why would the horn sound at such a long distance?" Zhao Mang said to himself.
"Zhang Yong, the captain of the cavalry of the second palace, has seen General Zhao!" The cavalry chief general rode his horse to Zhao Mang's body, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully.
"No need to be polite. This time, it will be thanks to Zhang Duwei's rescue in time! Otherwise, my five thousand brothers would be unable to save my life. By the way, Zhang Duwei's plan is very good, and he immediately let the guards retreat.
Zhao Mang said with a smile.
Zhang Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can I have such a method? This is Lord Zhang Yuanjing and Zhang's idea. Let us use this method to force the enemy to retreat."
"Mr. Zhang Yuanjing, has he returned to Weizhou Prefecture successfully? No accident happened!"
"I arrived at Weizhou Prefecture yesterday afternoon. All the Taihang Mountains and the Qianniu Guards arrived one after another yesterday. There was no big problem. Mr. Zhang speculated that General Zhao attracted the enemy and might meet the guards. He specially asked me to use this
The Dharma defeated the enemy. Unexpectedly, it succeeded." Zhang Yong also looked emotional.
"In case, we should retreat in science. After passing this boundary, it is in Jizhou. No matter how arrogant the guards are, they dare not cross the boundary and be arrogant!"
…………
In the county, 15,000 soldiers rushed back to the city with a gray face. Ling Xiao recruited the generals with a pale face and scolded them fiercely, especially the captain of the scout camp, which was the key point.
"What are your spies doing? Where are the scouts? Why are the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army approaching the battlefield, and our army still doesn't know?" Ling Xiao asked gloomyly. He was about to take down Zhao Xun's brother, but he ended up doing this from
I saw the achievements that were about to be obtained with my own eyes, as if I had grown wings, and I was not happy about anyone.
The captain of the scout camp opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. Originally, if you chased and fled, you wouldn't have scattered the scout directly in front of the enemy.
"Strange, didn't our people in Weizhou Prefecture say that the Xiaoguo army had only three thousand cavalrymen entering Weizhou Prefecture? How could seven or eight thousand suddenly appear?" A general muttered in confusion.
When Ling Xiao heard this, his face turned pale, he took a deep breath and said to the scout captain: "Check the situation of Qianniuwei and Xiaoguo Army in the northwest of the city immediately."
The scout was unclear, but he immediately left.
Half an hour later, the captain of the scout camp returned and reported in a deep voice: "Report to the Lord, Qianniu Guard has evacuated. But..." At this point, the captain of the scout camp paused and did not continue directly.
"But what? Tell me quickly!" My heart sank and I said coldly.
"However, according to scouts, there were only two thousand cavalry on the battlefield, and the branches and traces of dragging were scattered all over the ground. I think... I think it was the method of the Xiaoguo Army cavalry using their ponytails to drag the branches, which caused the scene of seven or eight thousand troops appearing.
.” The scout camp captain looked at Ling Xiao carefully and whispered.
"Damn it! I've been trapped!" Ling Xiao's eyes turned dark, and his guess finally became reality. Now he remembered that the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army could have chased him with cavalry, but the other party was not like this. It turned out that it was not
The other party came from afar, and the people were tired, but the other party had no ability to chase him. After a long time, he could only blame himself for running too fast at that time.
"Each division is resting again and will return to the base tomorrow!" Ling Xiao shouted coldly. Although he had dealt with a lot of things for Situ Lei on weekdays, this was the first time he personally led his troops to appear on the battlefield, and the battle also told me before and after this battle.
The war he was in was not as simple as he believed. Since Qianniu Guards had withdrawn, they lost the last chance to siege and kill.
