Chapter 1036: Reinforcements

Almost unable to hold on, the city was in danger several times, and was almost occupied by the enemy army who frantically swarmed up, and it took countless lives to take it back.

As an hour passed, the head of the city became more and more dangerous, and the enemy army had no intention of stopping, and climbed to the head of the city one after another, going forward one after another, and the locusts were as crazy and tragic as sweeping the ground.

Li Mu's body was already a little swaying, he was so tired, so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak, sweat flowed down his forehead, his eyes were confused, his vision became blurred, his ears were buzzing, and he could hear all kinds of sword strikes and screams and wails, but the sound seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, as if it came from another world far away.

He stumbled slightly, and when Li Mu almost fell, someone suddenly grabbed his arm, and Li Mu looked back and saw that it was Dugu Jiu!

Before sending troops, Li Mu asked Dugu Jiu to protect his family, but he never imagined that he would appear here.

"The Boling Cui clan has already reversed, Hou Junji led the army to guard Luoyang, I took the opportunity to send my sister-in-law and children to Liuqiu (TW), and I will come over after settling down, don't worry!" Dugu Jiu tried his best to explain things clearly in the simplest words, and while speaking, he didn't forget to draw his sword to block the cold arrow shot at Li Mu.

"Good!" Li Mu only said one word, Dugu Jiu traveled thousands of miles back and forth to Dingxiang, and it was nonsense for him to persuade him to go.

"Huh? There are reinforcements! ”

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Look out of town! There is a cavalry! ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly ran to the edge of the arrow battlement in three steps and two steps, squinted and looked out of the city, and sure enough, it was a group of cavalry, about seven or eight thousand people.

The man at the head, who tied himself to the saddle, was none other than Usman! Behind him, there were about 5,000 people, and a big 'Zhang' character was written on the banner erected, which was the king of Gaochang, the original subordinates of Zhangjiazhai. The last time Xiangcheng was guarded, it was Bai Qiaoqiao who foresaw Zhang Tianai, Zhang Tianai brought Zhangjiazhai's cavalry to greet him, but he didn't expect that this time, they were not absent!

The corners of Li Mu's mouth hooked, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Usman......

Li Mu suddenly regretted a little, he had used the means against Usman at the beginning, but he didn't expect this guy to be so loyal.

Old man, sure enough, you can't bear to be widowed by your girl!

At the critical moment, this cavalry came out of the air, like two sharp knives straight into the enemy's middle formation.

Seeing the cavalry plunging into the enemy's center from the flank, the defenders at the head of the city flanked for a moment, and then erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Fighters are rare!

After Li Mu squinted at the situation on the battlefield outside the city, he suddenly shouted: "Wang Hu, Su Lie! ”

"The end will be."

Pointing to the battlefield outside the city, Li Mu said: "Quick, lead 3,000 people out of the city, bring all the explosives bags, and cooperate with them to attack on the left and right flanks, and you will directly insert it from the front of the enemy......"

The two did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately chose to carry it out, although this order was no different from sending them to death.

Li Mu was afraid that they didn't understand what he meant, so he hurriedly added: "I'm not asking you to fight, I'm asking you to throw explosives bags!" Ten feet away from the enemy, he ignited and threw it out, causing chaos to the Chinese army first. Then immediately divide the troops into two directions, meet Usman's flank, and remember that there is no need to engage the enemy directly, and at the touch of a button, guerrilla attack outside the enemy's position. Just throw the explosive bag into the enemy's formation, or go back to the city as soon as you're done! ”

The two understood what Li Mu meant, in layman's terms, this is called "robbing while the fire is on".

"The last general understands!"

Li Mu waved his hand: "Quickly order troops out of the city!" ”

……

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

One moment it was a desperate battle of attacking and defending the city, and the next moment it became a plain encounter between the two armies, and the appearance of reinforcements changed the situation on the battlefield.

Soon a crack was opened in the city gate, and the two generals, each with 1,500 men, rushed out of the city gate, and while the enemy was fighting a fierce battle with Usman's troops, they suddenly launched a frontal charge towards the center of the enemy army.

Such a big move. It was impossible for the enemy army not to find out, and as soon as the second general led the army out of the city gate, the middle of the enemy army quickly divided into thousands of cavalry and galloped towards him.

Su Dingfang and Wang Hu divided the soldiers into two teams, one team blocked the enemy and protected the people who threw the explosive pack, and the other group concentrated on lighting the fire and throwing the explosive pack, not holding a weapon in their hands, but holding a torch and using it to light the fuse. The lead came together and the torch was lit, and he threw it into the distance with all his might, and with a loud bang, the oncoming enemy suddenly turned on his back.

The huge explosion startled the horses, and the oncoming cavalry staggered, and many fell under the horses and were trampled to death.

On the other hand, the horses on Datang's side are used to the sound of explosives, which is relatively much better, at least they can control it.

Gradually, according to Li Mu's plan, the two generals were on the flanks and joined Usman.

Usman had already led his cavalry to sprint two back and forth on the left and right flanks of the enemy, the enemy was unprepared, was caught off guard, and was killing up, and when he turned around and saw Su Lie leading the troops to arrive, he couldn't help laughing, raised his bloody knife and pointed at Su Lie, and shouted: "General Su, we can finally compete for a while, see who kills more!" ”

Su Lie was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, whoever kills less, whoever drinks will drink!" ”

"A word is a certainty, kill!"

After saying that, Usman took the lead and continued to launch a third charge towards the flank, and his warriors followed closely behind, slashing left and right on their horses, killing a bloody path.

Not to be outdone, Su Dingfang guarded Usman's right flank to prevent him from being sneak attacked.

Wang Hu was in the other direction, forming a corner with the two of them, sprinting and killing, and the left and right flanks of the enemy army were defeated and retreated.

Amr had a gloomy face, staring resentfully at Usman and Su Dingfang, who were still rushing left and right in his own army, eager to devour them alive and stared at the two of them, and for a long time, when the left and right flanks showed signs of defeat, Amr finally burst out of his mouth with a cold order.

"The left and right flanks contracted. Move closer to the Chinese army, and the rear of the Chinese army will allocate 3,000 people to outflank and en......circle from the left and right flanks," Amr said, and suddenly roared like crazy: "...... Leave these two cavalry teams outside Dingxiang City for me, and break them into pieces! If you let one go, Lao Tzu will chop you up and feed it to the dogs! ”

When the battle has reached this point, it has already killed the red eye. What the promise of the king of the steppe, has long been forgotten...... Killing each other is the goal!

When the rhythm of the war drums under the command of the commander of the enemy is in vain. Su Dingfang's heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered to return to the city, he did not forget Li Mu's order, not to engage the enemy, and to retreat at the first touch.

After greeting his subordinates, Su Dingfang shouted to Usman not far ahead, Usman looked back at the men and horses of Zhangjiazhai who had been in contact with the enemy, shook his head, turned around and killed back.

Su Lie is a robe, and the people in Zhangjiazhai are also robes, and he can't abandon it.

Su Dingfang was in a hurry, but the two of them had been blocked, and they had just taken advantage because of the sudden outburst, and now listening to the sound of war drums, they knew that the enemy had reacted at this moment. And make full arrangements, and when the enemy forces mobilize most of them to outflank and encircle, they will never be able to escape today.

Seeing that Usman did not obey the military order, and the yellow sand was rolling not far away, it was obvious that the enemy's outflanked cavalry had rushed to kill, and Su Dingfang was in a hurry. But he couldn't take care of him anymore, and after gritting his teeth, Su Dingfang joined Wang Hu before the enemy's encirclement was formed, and led his subordinates to quickly break away from the battle circle and gallop towards the city gate.

As for Usman......

Su Dingfang, who was riding on the horse, shook his head bitterly.

Although the reinforcements add up to more than 10,000, in the face of the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, and even if they can escape for their lives, the warriors of the clansmen under their command are afraid that they will also suffer heavy losses and are almost wiped out.

The city gate was opened, Su Dingfang and Wang Hu led the soldiers under their command to ride into the city, the city gate was always open, and after a while, it was found that Usman was still not out of the battle circle, and the city gate was finally closed heavily.

Li Mu stood at the head of the city, and everything that happened on the battlefield outside the city was in his eyes.

He can't sit back and watch this man be destroyed, he can't afford this favor, he can't explain it to Zhang Tianai, and I'm even more sorry for Usman's loyalty. Li Mu lit a firework, which was a signal to retreat, and Usman knew what it meant.

At present, the encirclement has not been completely completed, and there is still an opening, and the retreat can be withdrawn.

It's just that the help for Dingxiang ends here.

Li Mu originally planned to take this cavalry into the city, and when defending the city in the future, it could be used as a surprise soldier, and go out of the city at night to find opportunities to fight, raid, break the camp, and guerrilla...... These more than 10,000 cavalry are of great use to him, and it will not be a problem to hold on until Li Xiaogong returns, but now, this cavalry can no longer be counted on.

Usman understood Li Mu's signal, and Zhangjiazhai's men turned their horses and retreated. But Usman's men did not leave, and they were still fighting.

Li Mu gritted his teeth, and the soldiers on the city wall were also in tears. At this moment, he had understood Usman's choice.

I don't know how long later, Li Mu suddenly saw more than 100 horsemen suddenly killed in the chaotic army, covered in blood, like a ghost who had just escaped from hell to the yang world, and finally broke out of the encirclement, and the enemy army behind was unwilling to outflank them again, Usman was among them, he glanced at the city, a smile appeared on his hideous face, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Master Hou, don't forget to promise me, my brothers, give them the identity of a good person, let them live well!" ”

"Master Hou!"

Usman shouted, rushed back with dozens of men, and soon drowned in the enemy.

Li Mu watched Usman's head fly up and be carried by an enemy soldier to show off, blood oozed from the corners of his eyes, and he shouted loudly!

"Lao Tzu let you die!!"
