"Chief Liutun, how many enemy horsemen are there?"

In a moment, Gongsun Du and others had already come to the city wall, and before they could look more, Gongsun Du asked.

Liu Yi replied busily: "General Hui, there are about fifty horsemen coming to the enemy, and judging by their outfit, they should be eagle horses." ”

"Eagle Rider?" Gongsun Du was puzzled.

Liu Yi understood that Gongsun Du did not understand the composition of the alien cavalry, so he explained: "The alien races in the north have the ability to train eagles, and often use this to track and reconnoitre, so we call their expeditions Eagle Cavalry. ”

"I see!" Gongsun Du nodded suddenly in realization, and then asked, "If there can be fifty eagle cavalry, how many cavalry should there be?" ”

Liu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "It should be a team of 1,000 people." ”

After speaking, he explained: "The establishment of the alien race is different from ours, mainly based on the hundred-man team and the thousand-man team, each with a centurion and a thousand-commander under the command. On top of that, there is a large tribe or a general of its royal court, ranging from tens of thousands of people. ”

"Hmm!" Gongsun Du bowed slightly, and his eyes were set outside the city. At this time, the sky was still snowing, and if it weren't for the fact that the number of eagle riders was not small, there would definitely be no trace of it, but it was only faintly visible.

"They're going east?" Gongsun Du pointed to the already vague traces and said.

Liu Yi looked at it and replied: "That's right, general, as far as the last general saw, they are going east." ”

Gongsun Du frowned slightly, glanced at the generals, and then asked, "How likely do you think it is that the enemy cavalry will attack at this time?" ”

All the generals felt heavy when they heard this, and they all knew that in such a situation, the Eagle Riders rushed to reconnoitre, and it was absolutely impossible to just finish the reconnaissance, and the attack would be their ultimate goal.

Oh no, it's supposed to be Raid! Looting is their ultimate goal!

Xu Rong saw that Liu Yi and the others were silent, so he said: "General, if your subordinates think that the enemy cavalry will attack at this time, we must be prepared just in case." ”

Gongsun Du glanced at Xu Rong approvingly, and then said in a deep voice: "We all know that although snowy weather is not as unfavorable for attack as rainy days, it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not take the enemy by surprise and take the opportunity to attack. Moreover, since the enemy's eagle riders are conducting reconnaissance at this time, it means that they have a reason why they have to conduct reconnaissance, and we must be prepared. ”

"Yes, General!" Xu Rong and the others shook the tiger's body and responded in unison.

"Good!" Gongsun Du's face was solemn, he glanced at the generals, and said, "Liu Yi is still defending the north gate, the south gate of Jiaolu, the west gate of Tu Yi, and the east gate is defended by Qin Gun, but seeing that the enemy is riding most of the men and horses, he uses gold as the number. Xu Rong led the cavalry to respond in the center, but when he heard the sound of gold, he immediately supported. ”

"Yes, General!" The generals will go as commanded.

Gongsun Du said to Yang Yi again: "Order all the soldiers to be vigilant, as long as the order is issued, immediately follow the general to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

"Yes, General." Yang Yi was unhappy when he heard that there was nothing to do without him, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Gongsun Du ignored the change in Yangyi's complexion, looked at the gradually heavy snow outside the city, and fell into deep thought.

"The Liao army is not a city on the border, why do foreign cavalry appear here silently?" Gongsun Du gradually frowned, he really couldn't understand what was going on, "Could it be that there is a spy who informed the foreign race of the situation of the Liao team?" ”

Gongsun Du, who couldn't figure it out, told Liu Yi not to let the soldiers get frostbite when there was goose feather snow in the sky, so he took Yang Yi and other soldiers back to the barracks.

Tu Yi, Jiao Lu, and Qin Gun led all their men to the east, south, and west city walls, and immediately strengthened their vigilance. Xu Rong also came to the center of the city with the cavalry, found more than a dozen supplies that were empty, temporarily rested, and was on call at any time, and from time to time took a team of people to patrol back and forth in the city, in case someone took the opportunity to make trouble.

and, with a very low probability of internal response.

……

Gongsun Du's response was not flawed, but unfortunately, his army was on high alert for two days and one night, but he never saw the shadow of half of the enemy. It wasn't until the third day, when the snow stopped and the weather cleared, that the alien cavalry finally moved.

、、……

"Where's the sound of gold?" Gongsun Du heard the voice and immediately asked.

"Back to the general, it seems to be the north." The soldiers outside the door replied.

"Isn't this alien in his brain? Scouting at the North Gate, or attacking from the North Gate? Don't even understand the plan to attack the west? ”

Gongsun Du secretly slandered that the IQ of the alien race was worrisome, but his movements were not slow, and when the words of the pro-soldier fell, he took Mo Gao out of the study. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he knew that what his soldiers said was true, and said, "Let's go, go to the north gate!" ”

"Yes!"

Gongsun Du was very fast, with fifty personal soldiers, and arrived at the north gate of the city before the enemy cavalry attacked.

Xu Rong was faster, and when Gongsun Du arrived, he saw more than 80 cavalry, gathered at the city gate. went up to the city wall, and saw Xu Rong commanding more than 100 cavalry without mounts under his command to defend.

"How's it going?"

"General!" When Liu Yi saw Gongsun coming, he immediately responded, "It's a bit unexpected, the enemy seems to be more than a thousand, but strangely, it seems that there are less than two thousand-strong troops. ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a moment and exclaimed: "Could it be that they are divided into two groups of people, attacking the north gate in one wave to attract our attention, and the rest of the people are waiting for an opportunity in other directions to carry out a thunderous blow?" ”

Liu Yi was also startled, and was about to reply, when he heard a shout from outside the city.

Gongsun Du felt the importance of learning a foreign language at this time, and seeing that Liu Yi's face was a little strange, he knew that he might understand what the other party was saying, so he asked, "What did they say?" ”

Liu Yi replied uncertainly: "They want to fight? ”

"Fighter?" Gongsun Du was quite surprised, after all, there is no need for the benefit of the city wall, wouldn't it be a fool, why should he fight.

It is said that the main purpose of fighting is to improve morale, and if you do not fight in the face of the enemy's provocation, morale is likely to drop. However, these people are of an alien race, and these people under Gongsun Du are all deeply poisoned by the alien race, where is there a need to fight in the future to maintain or improve morale. I didn't see that the soldiers in the city were all full of anger at this time, and they wanted to swallow the enemy cavalry in one bite.

At this time, Xu Rong walked over and said with a heavy face: "General, I'm afraid that the other party has something to rely on, and we have to fight!" ”

Gongsun Du frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Rong shook his head lightly and said, "With the subordinates' understanding of the alien race, if they didn't attack directly, it was likely that they were preparing to blackmail us and let us go out of the city to fight." ”

Gongsun Du's brows furrowed even tighter, and suddenly, there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he said, "You mean that they may use the people of the surrounding villages to blackmail us?" ”

Xu Rong said: "That's right, that's it. ”

"But there is no village around the Liao army and there are still people! Where did he come from to threaten us? Gongsun Du then wondered.

Xu Rong's face remained unchanged, and he said, "The subordinates suspect that the reason why they will come to the Liao team is probably that they know that most of the people have moved here. And if we didn't get the news in advance, it is likely that they wiped out the remaining people in the remaining counties, and no one escaped. ”

Gongsun Du was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Is Tingfang sure of this?" ”

Xu Rong replied: "I don't dare to say ten percent, but I still have six or seven points of certainty." ”

In fact, with Gongsun Du's brain, it's not that he doesn't understand, he just doesn't want to admit it.
