Chapter 226: The Hussars Arrived
Ge Congzhou had no choice but to order the general: "Immediately lead the army out of the city!" Forming a formation to cover and retreat, there is not much time, as long as the whole army is not chaotic, there are many pieces for me to run as fast as I can, and everything that can be left is thrown away, and I escape from Chenzhou City, it is safe."
The general was about to leave, but Ge Congzhou suddenly stopped him. Pointing to the burning Nancheng Arrow Tower, he asked in a low voice, "What about Zhao Li, the assassin of Chenzhou?" ”
A trace of shame appeared on the general's face, and he said: "When the fire broke out, the vanguard army of Chenzhou came back to the division, and we were all panicked. Chenzhou Zhao Li led a few guards to kill from the arrow tower, we couldn't resist it, opened a bloody road for him to kill, and went to the inner city, the general, his subordinates are incompetent, please punish the general."
"It's come to this, what else can I say!" After Ge Congzhou said this, he strode towards the city gate and city wall.
The subordinate generals shouted the order, and the puppet Qi soldiers who were waiting in line, with bloodstained battle marks, slowly withdrew from the city gate. Everyone in the queue. couldn't help but look back at Chenzhou City with pillars of smoke behind him. They almost took Chenzhou City completely!
Ge Congzhou looked out from the wall of Chenzhou City, and saw a group of Tang troops coming from the southeast. Relying on the abandoned camp abandoned in the distance, they dismounted and rested. This banner is the banner of the hussars under the command of Duan Mingyu, the envoy of the Heavenly Festival, and their general is Luo Hou.
At this moment, those who could come in time were all cavalry troops under Duan Mingyu. Except for the vanguard of more than 1,000 military horses desperately galloping into the gate of Chenzhou City to help defend there, the other nearly 10,000 hussars did not rush into Chenzhou City. One by one, the banners of the Tang Dynasty and Song Prefecture were rolling and flying as far as the eye could see, and the hussar knights of the brigade were gathered in the distance and would raise their horsepower. In the line of sight, I am afraid that there are already as many as two or three thousand horses. There were also hussar knights coming one after another.
After a night of galloping, it seemed that they were exhausted from horsepower. Seeing the retreat of the puppet Qi army, he raised it first, and did not rush to pounce. Seeing all this in front of him on the city wall, Ge Congzhou's heart sank. If the Songzhou army rushed into the city of Chenzhou, was busy settling the order in the city, and expelled the puppet Qi army from the city, it would be a lot less trouble, because the hussar brigade came at a gallop overnight. If you are scattered in the city, there is no half a day that you can't get together, and the horsepower will be raised, and it will take time. And if he retreated according to the whole team, he might go out in a dozen miles.
Ge Congzhou's retreat has already been chosen, and the road they chose is naturally a difficult road to take, which is not convenient for driving horses, but it is a large open space on the bank of a river, and you can see Huangchao's camp after crossing the river, at that time, it must be safe.
Could it be that the Tang army would ignore Chenzhou City. Chase them all the way to the other side of the river? What if there are other reinforcements sent by His Majesty Huang Chao behind them?
In Ge Congzhou's view, it is certain that Tang Jun will take care of Chenzhou City first, after all, they still have many major events in Chenzhou City.
But now, the hussars are not in a hurry to enter the city, but they are assembled in a distance outside the city, and the posture of raising horsepower makes people really afraid. Their intention may be to leave behind all the more than 10,000 horses left in this siege! Now that time is pressing, we must speed up the journey and escape from here as soon as possible, as long as we can get to the other side of the river, this xìng life can be regarded as a struggle to be born! At that moment, Ge Congzhou did not delay any longer, and strode into the arrow tower on the city gate, and saw that there was a military horse left behind by his own family near the arrow tower, "Hurry up and follow the general, leave this Chenzhou City"
While speaking, Ge Congzhou had already pulled some small generals down the arrow tower, and those pseudo-Qi army guards followed closely. When he came to the city wall of Chenzhou City, he stretched out his hand and pointed out, only to see the layers of Tang Jun's flags, and immediately pounced on Ge Congzhou's cheeks.
Ge Congzhou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and came to his senses completely. But whoever is ambitious cannot tolerate others. The only thing you value most in your heart is yourself. In order to seize the great achievement of recovering Chenzhou City, Ge Congzhou can do whatever it takes, but it will never include paying himself!
The Luohou banner finally slowly appeared at the four gates of Chenzhou City, and at least half of Chenzhou City was burning at the moment. In the city of Chenzhou, there is a pillar of smoke rising from the candle. In the southern city, the fire was even bigger. The cries of the city still follow the wind, enveloping all directions.
Ge Congzhou's brigade, silently assembled, covered in smoke and blood, was gathering from the south gate, and the formation slowly went south. When Luo Hou arrived, it was the last team of the puppet Qi army that also left Chenzhou City, burning the south gate like a huge torch.
The hussar knights, their eyes kept looking at Luo Hou's banner, and their eyes were full of the intention of asking for battle. This army, under Duan Mingyu's personal training, still has a lot of patriotic enthusiasm, and the puppet Qi army stormed the city, and I don't know how many injuries were caused. No matter where it comes from. From the point of view, the whole division of this puppet Qi army cannot be allowed to retreat to the camp of Huangchao!
Many of the leading generals had already greeted Luo Hou in front of him, and they were all looking at Luo Hou with blood-red eyes. Not a word. I thought about it, and I was extremely angry in my chest.
The whole army was silent, and only in the middle of the plain could I hear the neighing of a war horse. Only the murderous spirit rises. The eyes of the whole army kept on Luo Hou, who was sitting on the ground like them. First, the middle is full of love and admiration for the heart of death. This battle has been going on so far, if there is a peerless hero, it is Duan Mingyu, and Luo Hou is the most capable general in Duan Mingyu's hands.
On the wall of Chenzhou City, Zhao Li had already wrapped up his wounds, pressed the battlement, and looked blankly at Luo Hou's army. Just a few months ago, Chenzhou was prosperous and stable, after a big war, Chenzhou was able to fight with all the dead and wounded, even if he kept Chenzhou, he would have to send people under the fence in the future, and he would look at people's faces and act if he couldn't say it, and the position of this assassination history could be regarded as the end. After staring at it for a long time, Zhao Li chuckled and slammed the city wall fiercely: "What is this?" Something unwilling......"
On a high ground in the northwest of Chenzhou City, there were a few horsemen, and they were on a high place, quietly watching the fireworks of Chenzhou City, and looking at the movements of the Chenzhou army and the puppet Qi army on the vast plain. The first person is tall and strong, and there is always a kind of plagiarism in his expression that he doesn't care about anything. It was Luo Hou, beside him, there were several light horsemen of the Songzhou Hussars, all of whom were familiar with the topography of the mountains and rivers on the left side of Chenzhou City. At this time, standing beside Luo Hou, he didn't dare to come out.
