The south of Guangmu County, near is the wilderness area, because of the river, it can still be regarded as the abundant water and grass, with the push to the south distance, the water grass is gradually scarce, the yellow gravel area gradually increases, until the south of the city is twenty miles away, it is the endless sand sea.

About half an hour after Zhang Shao received the scout's report, a Hu cavalry appeared on the edge of the sand sea.

At this time, the vehicle formation of the Dingxi Army had not yet been fully formed.

Then there is the elite troops, when their own preparations are not yet finished, and the enemy has already killed with great momentum, they will inevitably panic. The Dingxi army was no exception, one after another, and then group after group noticed the sand and dust in the south, faintly heard the sound of whistles and horses' hooves, and guessed that the enemy cavalry was coming soon, and the Dingxi soldiers who were busy setting up the train formation suddenly became at a loss.

Guangmu Chengtou.

He stood tall and looked far away, but he was different from the Dingxi soldiers on the flat ground, he not only saw the wind and sand in the south, but also identified a group of cavalry rushing towards this side from the wind and sand.

It was too far away, and there was wind and sand to obstruct the view, and the cavalry fell into Gao Gao's eyes, like a group of looming running ants, he couldn't see their whole picture, and he couldn't see how many horsemen there were in total, but there was no doubt that this cavalry must be his allies, that is, Wen Shilan's troops,—— otherwise, the Dingxi troops who were arranging a train formation in the south of the city would not suddenly have a riot.

Intense joy welled up in his heart.

The elite soldiers under the high tent had just been assembled according to his orders, and they had ridden up and down at about two thousand paces, and they were all waiting for his arrival in the south city gate.

He walked down the city quickly, arrived at the assembly point of the elite soldiers, passed through their ranks to the front, did not talk nonsense, took the reins handed by his own soldiers, turned over his horse, picked up the cavalry, and gave a loud order, saying: "Reinforcements have arrived, follow me out!" ”

The gates opened.

He took the lead, and the remnants shouted and shouted, and rode after him, or galloped and galloped, and slew out with him.

……

The soldiers besieging the city in front have not yet returned to the battle, and Gao Gao has led his troops to kill; The rear chariot formation had not yet been formed, and the Rouran cavalry led by Wen Shilan was already close at hand. Looking back at the nearly 20 years since joining the army, Zhang Shao has never faced such a dangerous situation.

"Where is Zhao Rangan and Zhao Xing?"

As early as when he heard that the trace of Wen Shilan's department appeared in the desert, Zhao Rangan and other generals mostly rushed to the Chinese army, waiting to wait for Zhang Shao's countermeasures and deployment. Hearing that Zhang Shao changed his normal behavior, he no longer called the two of them by his name, but called him by his first name, Zhao Rangan and Zhao Xing brothers knew that it was a matter of life and death, and the two took a step forward, with the sound of armor, and responded in unison: "The end will be!" ”

"The two of you take the headquarters light cavalry, and immediately rush to support General Gao and the others to cover the formation of the car formation!"

Gao Yancao and other cavalry generals have led their headquarters to the periphery of the car formation, and the Tiefu light cavalry under Zhao Rangan and Zhao Xing brothers is the only cavalry unit Zhang Shao has at hand now, considering that it is not clear how many Wen Shilan troops are, in order to avoid Gao Yancao and others being outnumbered, Zhang Shao's first order is to order Zhao Rangan and Zhao Xing brothers to rush to Gao Yancao's aid.

Zhao Rangan and Zhao Xingying said: "No! ”

Zhang Shao said solemnly: "You guys have arrived at the car formation, and you will temporarily listen to General Gao's command." You tell General Gao on my behalf: Although the Gao Department has left the city, with my main formation, it is enough to resist, and the most important thing at the moment is not the Gao Department, but the Wen Shi Lan Department! Once our chariot formation is captured by the Wenshilan Army, our army will fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly! And Wen Shilan's troops are full of cavalry, mobile and flexible, our army can only be beaten passively, so, waiting in front of our army, only the whole army will be wiped out! …… You give him this command of mine: If you win this battle, you must be in Wenshilan, please make sure to block Wenshilan! ”

Yang Hezhi didn't know when he changed his armor, he pressed his sword and said, "General, the lower officials dare to invite them to the car array to supervise the battle!" ”

Zhang Shaoxin said: "Gao Yancao is my Dingxi Tiger General, he can be trusted, but this Zhao Rangan and Zhao Xing brothers? It stands to reason that they should not be willing to become Qin Yu's prisoners again, but when it comes to life and death, they can't say for sure. Happily responded to Yang Hezhi's request, pulled out his sword and said, "Okay, you can take my sword!" If you dare to disobey the order and fight cowardly, you will be dealt with in accordance with military law! ”

Yang Hezhi took more than a dozen of Zhang Shao's personal soldiers, and rushed to the south with Zhao Rangan, Zhao Xing brothers and their two Hu cavalry.

Zhang Shao pondered for a while, gave the second order, and said, "Where are Li Liang and An Chong?" ”

Li Liang and An Chong came out and responded: "The end will be!" ”

Zhang Shao pointed to the city and ordered: "Give you two people and 100 soldiers each, go to the moat, and be sure to block the offensive of the troops who go out of the city and cover the retreat of our siege soldiers." Only after the footing of our main formation is stable and the drums are heard, can you two withdraw. ”

Under Guangmu City, outside the south city wall, a moat divided the soldiers of the Dingxi Army into two parts.

Outside the moat, that is, south of the moat, is the main formation of the infantry of the Dingxi Army.

The troops that had previously besieged the city were divided into pieces from this main formation; Now that the besieging soldiers are retreating, they will naturally retreat into this main formation. At this time, there were probably more than 2,000 siege soldiers who urgently withdrew to the formation, and so many people withdrew at once, and the formation would inevitably be a little unstable, which was the meaning of Zhang Shao's words "wait for the position of my main formation to be stabilized".

In addition, in the moat, that is, in the north of the moat, there are still seven or eight hundred Dingxi soldiers who have not been able to withdraw, and the high troops who have been killed from the south gate have been connected with their short blades, and the sound of shouting and killing can be heard on the side of the main formation, which is the meaning of Zhang Shao's words "covering the retreat of my siege soldiers".

Li Liang and An Chong responded excitedly: "No! ”

The two of them each took 100 armor soldiers from the Chinese army and rushed to the front line under the city.

Zhang Shao issued the third order: "Where is Bingbo?" ”

Bing broadcast the column and said: "The end will be!" ”

"You lead your headquarters to be displayed in front of the main formation, before my main formation stabilizes, if Li Liang and An Chong fail to block the high division, you go and block it!"

Bing Bo responded: "No! ”

Zhang Shao's round, face, which was full of kindness in the past, was exposed at this moment, he looked at Bing Bo, and continued: "If Li Liang and An Chong fail to block the high department, you take the heads of the two of them to me." If you can't stop the two of them after him, I'll take your head! ”

Bing Bo was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Shao's change from kind to severe, and immediately responded: "Yes!" ”

"Go ahead."

Seeing Bing Bo running away, Zhang Shao asked Zhang Gu and said, "Joining the army, how is my response to the deployment?" What does joining the military add? ”
