When Gao Pragmatic and the others were delaying time in the state government, Lingyun City was already in chaos.

They were surrounded by the wolf soldiers of Huangma who poured into the state office, and the wolf soldiers of the Gao family and Cen Ling, who had just arrived on the periphery of the wolf soldiers of Huangma, confronted them.

The rest of the city was divided into two sides, bounded by the Chengbi River, which flowed from north to south from the city, and the eastern part of the city was now occupied by Cao Ke's territorial division, and the western part of the city was occupied by the wolf soldiers of Huang Ma's army. The wolf soldiers of several major earthies are still unaware of the great changes in the state government, so they are also working with Huang Ma's department to build a temporary defense line along the river.

It's not that Cao Ke doesn't want to attack, but there is only one bridge connecting the east and west half cities on this Chengbi River, and the bridge has no official name, and the locals just call it "Tusi Bridge", also called Guanqiao.

This bridge is a stone bridge, if it is wide, it is also quite wide, and it can be close to three zhang. But this width is only a relative concept, and it is enough to be good in peacetime, but it is not enough when there are armies on both sides to go to war.

The Chengbi River is not wide, and the width of this section that flows through the city is basically around 20 zhang, which is about 60 or 70 meters wide in later generations.

If there is no enemy on the opposite side, the wolf soldiers on both sides can almost swim over with their bare hands, although heavy weapons cannot be carried, but they can also carry a bamboo spear, so as not to be empty-handed.

However, now that the enemy is heavily guarded on both sides of the river, it is very difficult to do.

The wolf soldiers on the Huangma side have not received a clear combat order for a long time, and they are currently in a state of full defense, so they will naturally not easily wade into the water to attack, and they are now at a disadvantage in strength, and it is impossible to cross the river to attack unless they have to.

On Cao Ke's side, he wanted to attack, but he was afraid that his hard-won command would be shaken with the failure of the attack - the wolf soldiers were essentially Tusi's private soldiers, although he now temporarily took over the command because of the pragmatic warrant, but in fact this warrant only gave him a reasonable and legal basis for command.

The wolf soldiers themselves did not listen to his command because they gave face to this warrant, most of the reason why they were willing to obey the order was that the four major Tusi of the Cen clan had made it clear that they would obey the order, and they just didn't dare to disobey the Tusi of the Cen clan.

It is precisely because of this unstable factor that Cao Ke can only forcibly launch an attack on Tusi Bridge now. He knew in his heart that if he took this bridge and the army crossed the Chengbi River, the overall situation of Lingyun City would be decided; But if the bridge cannot be taken down, the two sides will have to stalemate across the river, and things may still be uncertain.

But the Tusi Bridge is so big, the troops that both sides can invest are about the same, there is no difference, and the difference in the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers on both sides is not big - they are all soldiers of Guixi Tusi, and they are the masters who fight from time to time in private, who doesn't know whose catties and two?

So Cao Ke, who had the advantage of strength but could not be effectively deployed, was blocked at the Tusi Bridge, obviously the battle on the bridge was very fierce, in fact, there were only a few dozen people invested at a time, you came and I fought for a long time, and counted only to find that the casualties on both sides added up to not even more than 100.

Cao Ke was so anxious that his mouth was about to get blisters, and he was anxious and annoyed in his heart, he knew that he should have brought some of the guards just now, not that Cao Ke felt that the melee fighting ability of the guards was even better than these wolf soldiers, but that they were equipped with palm mines in their hands, and they were also special versions.

Due to the limited power of black powder, if you rely on gunpowder alone to hurt people, the effect is really ugly, so these high-use versions of grenades are all filled with ceramic fragments, which can be described as ruthless and abnormal. If you throw a few of them on such a densely packed battlefield, the effect will definitely be amazing.

However, this is also to think about it, the main task of the family guards must be to protect Gao Shipra, and now the situation on the side of the state government is like a sandwich, you layer by layer, I layer by layer, at any time may turn from a stalemate to a melee, how can the family guard be transferred to this side at this time? Even if Gao pragmatic gave an order, Gao Zhang might not be able to do it.

The reason why Cao Ke is more anxious than the other party is because he also has a disadvantage, that is, what he occupies now is in the east of the city, and the position of the state government is in the west of the city.

The old man is still in the state government, what should I do then?

If Gao Pragmatic is captured, this battle will be a fart! Not to mention that the toast that slipped away, now it is all in the state government, if the state government fails, these wolf soldiers behind Cao Ke will be able to mutiniate to him in minutes.

Even the wise can make mistakes. Whether Gao Pragmatic is playing conspiracy or conspiracy, it is far from being comparable to Huang Ma, but Gao Pragmatic is still a mortal after all, and he still has weaknesses after all.

His weakness is that he does not know the troops—perhaps strategically he knows the troops, but tactically he obviously cannot, because although he has a clear grasp of the forces in the city, and has arranged multiple means to ensure that he can control these forces, he ignores the terrain and the deployment of troops.

He only calculated that his own forces must be in a clear advantage, but did not calculate whether these forces could ensure effective delivery. And Gao Zhang, who knew the army himself, because of the identity restrictions, he had to protect Gao Pragmatic's side, and secondly, Gao Pragmatic also needed him to stand by his side to make Huang Ma misjudge, so although he was the best commander candidate, he could not go out to command the battle instead of Cao Ke.

If there are no further variables, this event will be beyond Gao Pragmatic's expectations.

However, the variables finally appeared, not long after Cao Ke was so anxious that his mouth bubbled, the wolf soldiers of Lingyun City in the west of the opposite city suddenly had a civil strife, and a wave of nearly a thousand wolf soldiers under the command of several leaders suddenly shouted loudly and inexplicably, and rushed towards the wolf soldiers who were deployed along the river, and the two sides started a fierce battle under Cao Ke's stunned eyes.

However, Cao Ke's stunned eyes only lasted for a few blinks, and he immediately became excited and shouted loudly: "Cen Clan's wolf soldiers obey the order!" With the Tianzhou wolf soldiers as the main force, immediately launch a general attack, wade across the river with bamboo spears, and give me a strong attack! A first-class five taels of silver! ”

Originally, when he said that he was attacking, the wolf soldiers, no matter which one they were, looked reluctant, and their eyes looked at the cronies sent by the four major toasts, but when Cao Ke's last sentence came out, the eyes of all the wolf soldiers immediately changed!

"Hold that black, did Lao Tzu hear it wrong?"

"Five taels of silver for a head? It's really fucking generous! ”

"Kill the street boy on the other side!"

"Hold that old mother, don't rob Lao Tzu!"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill! In front, get out of the way, don't delay Lao Tzu to grab people's heads! ”

Cao Ke was stunned again, looking at the wolf soldiers who seemed to have lost their command all of a sudden, but their combat effectiveness was obviously bursting, and secretly said in his heart: Damn it, am I too big to open this handicap? But what about him, the court officials and soldiers will be rewarded with twenty taels for killing a traitor...... These wolf soldiers are really ......

It's so cheap and easy to use!

Although he has no command experience, and the slightest thing that can barely be regarded as "war experience" depends on his father Cao Gan to tell him stories, but the current situation is too obvious - due to civil strife, the other party's defense line along the river has collapsed without a fight, and the wolf soldiers on their own side have really turned into hungry wolves one by one, and they jumped down the river with bamboo spears when they roared, and they didn't need to command at all.

Two cold weapons units are fighting in close combat, what are they fighting? In addition to the number of people and equipment, morale is almost the decisive factor, and the number of people is now superior to their own side, although the equipment is at a disadvantage because of the need to swim crossing, but the opponent is attacked on the back of the enemy, at least it can be leveled, right?

So, how can this battle be lost when the morale of the wolf soldiers on their own side is high?

Cao Ke exhaled a deep breath, quietly wiped his sweat, and said secretly: I finally didn't embarrass my father......
