Shocked, Guo Ruke didn't have much time to indulge in emotional fluctuations. The scouts of the report retreated, and Wei Shanhong rode his horse and said hurriedly: "The grass birds in the northwest are frightened, and there are traces of a large number of military horses!" ”

Guo Ruke kept him and briefly recounted the changes in Huyang Town, Wei Shanhong was shocked, and said: "From this point of view, the enemy from the north must be, it is the horse army that has returned to the camp from Huyang Town!" It is swift and swift, and I ...... in the wilderness It's hard for our army to bargain! ”

Guo Ruke said: "Yes, this is not far from Cen Peng City, I will retreat into the city first and defend it, and then make a plan!" ”

Wei Shanhong smashed his fist on the edge of the saddle, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Jing Keqin is a dog, dog offal, I knew it was like this, I ...... it at the beginning" The words came to his mouth, and he didn't know whether the stutter was too heavy or his heart was painful, but he couldn't say it anymore.

Guo Ruke thought of this section, and his face couldn't help but sink. Although Jing Keqin is a general of the stick thief in Sichuan, Zhao Dangshi did not treat him lightly, and the rewards that should be given and the positions that should be promoted are not missing him. However, at the moment of life and death, Jing Keqin was able to leave behind the grace of Zhao Ying for several months in order to survive, and helped him to abuse and murder the life of the former robe, it can only be said that his person is extremely shameful. Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, and the temperament and standards of conduct formed for decades in the despicable and untrustworthy stick thieves cannot be completely reversed overnight. Zhao Dangshi has always been unsuspicious of employing people, this habit has its own advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

If a man is unfaithful and unrighteous, he is no different from a dog!

Now that Jing Keqin is in the battle to defect, Song Hou Zhen died on the battlefield, and only the right post is left alone in the three outposts of the Qihun camp in an instant, Guo Ruke thought that this endeavor had come to naught, and immediately filled his chest with anger, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and yell a few times.

Su Zhao, the inspection department of the deer head shop in Cen Peng City, also seemed to notice something abnormal, Guo Ruke and Wei Shanhong led their troops back to the city, and the city gate had already been closed. Guo Ruke was furious and shouted at the door under the city, but Su Zhao became a turtle with a shrunken head at the moment, no matter how the soldiers and horses of the Hun camp made noise, he simply avoided it, and only responded with his soldiers, prevaricating for various reasons, in short, he was unwilling to open the city gate.

"Command, Su and Su are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they want to ignore the life and death of our army!" Wei Shanhong's heart burned like fire, and his dark face was even more anxious because of the wrinkles.

Guo Ruke raised his head and scolded: "The surname Su, don't open the door for Lao Tzu at this time, and when Lao Tzu brings someone into the door by himself, you and the next group of turtles and grandchildren under your hands will be eaten alive!" Seeing that the archer of the city inspection department was watching with a probe probe, he scolded again, "Dog day thing, there is a kind of talking to you in the city, watching Lao Tzu shoot you down with an arrow!" ”

Wei Shanhong came at this time and said: "Two miles away, the enemy and the enemy's army have been detected, and about hundreds of people are in front, and more than 1,000 people are pressing and pressing. ”

Guo Ruke crossed his eyebrows and said coldly: "Ma Guangchun can rush thousands of miles to attack Huyang Town, and there will be no infantry under him." The hundreds of people in front of him thought it was Jing Keqin's repeated villain. Squinting and looking at the city again, "I'm afraid the dog thief surnamed Su won't open the door, so we have to prepare early." ”

"Prepare early", Wei Shanhong's expression immediately changed from anxious to resolute, he nodded, turned around to leave without saying a word, but listened to Guo Ruke's words as if he jumped out of the stone one by one: "Lao Tzu wants to die, and he has to do it first!" ”

At that moment, the gates of Cen Peng City were closed, and the 500 soldiers from the right post of the Hun camp lined up with their backs against the south city wall. The Zhao battalion was reformed, and the equipment ratio of each battalion and each post was different. In the Qihun camp, the front and left two outposts were originally scheduled to be the main battle posts, so both firearms and armor were given priority. Among the 500 men of the outpost, there were less than 200 birds, and only a few small cannons, most of which were swords, shields, and spearmen in close combat.

Even though there are not many firearms, Guo Ruke still chooses to respond to the enemy with a small three-talent formation. Nearly 200 gunners on the right post were divided into two rows in front, and the third row placed some small cannons such as tiger squat cannons and nearly 100 crossbowmen. All the swordmen, shieldmen, and pikemen in the outpost were arranged on either side, and the last row was scattered with a few gunners or archers. Guo Ruke sat in the rear of the small formation to coordinate the operation, and Wei Shanhong temporarily served as the capital division, commanding at the front of the queue.

"The ...... surnamed Jing" Guo Ruke hated Jing Keqin's flattering face. However, after the anger, the originally restless heart also calmed down. There is no other reason, the right post lists the small three talent formations to deal with, but it is not just a scene. Jing Keqin's ability to command troops as Guo Ruke, the former boss, is very clear, and if he doubles the number of people on the other side, he will not be stunned. What he fears most is Ma Guangchun's Ma Jun.

Guo Ruke and Wei Shanhong both predicted the tactics to be adopted when returning to the camp, believing that Jing Keqin, the pioneer of Ma Guangchunhui, would lead the troops to rush into battle, and the Ma army would move according to the situation. Guo Ruke's plan is to focus on defense, and slowly deal with Ma Guangchun after Jing Keqin is consumed. There's a bit of a bit of a focus here. One reason is that the number of right outposts is small, and it is infantry, so it is easy to suffer a loss of mobility in the face of the horse army, and it is taken advantage of by the enemy. The small three talent formation is specially designed to deal with the Ma army, and there is a city wall behind it, so you don't have to worry about copying the enemy's back road. It is tactically said that the right post is still acceptable, and it will be defeated if it moves. Another reason lies in Cen Peng Cheng. Although Su Zhao was wolf-hearted and did not open the city gate, it was not clear that the situation would return to the camp. The right outpost did not leave the city without an inch, and it was also a matter of concern for returning to the camp, worrying whether there would be reinforcements in the city or whether the Zhao battalion soldiers would immediately retreat into the city due to disadvantage, etc. These considerations are certainly detailed, but the situation on the battlefield is the most delicate, and success or failure is often determined by the subtleties. Putting some unnecessary pressure on the return camp may affect the decision-making, which is beneficial to Zhao Ying.

On the bank of the clear stream in the distance, Jing Keqin's troops who rushed to the scene were slowly forming a team, Guo Ruke saw the black flying tiger flags that had been erected one after another, spat heavily on the ground, and scolded in a low voice: "Good thief, there is still a face to hang my Zhao Ying's flag!" The command flag in his hand was raised slightly, and the horns in the queue suddenly sounded in unison, and the war drums beat.

When he was young, Jing Keqin's department saw that the formation was completed, and Wei Shanhong ordered Tangma to deliver a message to Guo Ruke, saying that Jing Keqin had sent someone to persuade him to surrender.

Guo Ruke couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand and ignored it. Jing Keqin may also know that Guo Ruke will not waver, and when he saw that the persuasion failed once, he gave up, and after half a burnt incense, more than ten black flying tiger flags also began to follow the queue forward.

Before the battle, there were scouts entering the battle to report, Guo Ruke stared at the situation ahead, and asked, "How is the enemy horse army?" ”

The scout replied, "A hundred steps away from the thief, don't move." ”

"It's only a hundred ......steps," Guo Ruke was silent. A hundred paces away from the elite horse army returning to the camp in the blink of an eye, so it seems that the earlier conjecture is not far from ten, Ma Guangchun is fighting the abacus of surrendering troops to add fuel to the chaos, and the main force is waiting for the opportunity to move.

Still pondering, the sound of the gong in unison brought Guo Ruke back to reality, and his eyes were everywhere, hundreds of steps away, and the hundred guns in the first row of the right post had already begun to release their guns. In the smoke, nearly half of the dozens of people Jing Keqin used as a jumping charge fell, and the rest were all on their feet.

Originally, if they stood up and released each other's guns, because Jing Keqin's department had the advantage of the number of birds, Guo Ruke's side would be at a disadvantage. But Guo Ruke had long expected that Ma Guangchun, who was not good at using firearms, would treat the surrender of troops as a mustard and urge him to attack. If it is an attack, then between attacking and defending, it is naturally the bird sufficiency's side that takes the initiative, and the so-called numerical advantage of Jing Keqin's department is suddenly gone.

Jing Keqin is obviously not stupid, and he is aware of the disadvantages of taking the initiative to attack, so his stormtroopers are mainly swordsmen and gunners. But even so, with flesh and blood, it is difficult to advance against the dense hail of bullets, and it is expected that the tactics of quickly approaching hand-to-hand combat will have little effect. After the stormtrooper, he also arranged for the bird sentry to shoot at the right sentry, but after one shot, in the battlefield, he had to cooperate with several people to start a series of tedious reloading processes.

Soon, the second row of the right post also released a round of birds, and on the battlefield, the stormtroopers and birds of the Jing Keqin Department were disjointed in a large area due to casualties and inconsistent pace, and the whole formation began to disperse in groups. In the past, whenever he saw the enemy, Guo Ruke had already ordered the soldiers to advance without hesitation. But today is different from the past, as long as Ma Guangchun's horse army does not move, Guo Ruke will not dare to take a step.

"Jing Keqin, who was raised by the dog's mother, is really a waste." Guo Ruke scolded in his heart. He knew that Zhao Dangshi conferred his high position only based on his former status and qualifications, and if he talked about real talent and real learning, Jing Keqin was really not commendable. It is also for this reason that whenever the outpost went to war, Guo Ruke would personally take command, and Jing Keqin was nominally a deputy, but in fact he did some work of passing orders and serving tea and water.

"A thousand days of raising soldiers are used for a while. Hehe, Lao Tzu raised the surname Jing as a waste, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now. Guo Ruke thought a little self-deprecatingly. He is a little lucky now, glad that it is not Song Houzhen or Wei Shanhong who joined the enemy, as long as any of these two people stand on the opposite side instead of Jing Keqin today, then the pressure he is facing must be several times greater than now.

"What is the enemy army?" Another scout returned to the battle, Guo Ruke asked again, and inadvertently, the order flag in his hand almost slipped off. He wiped his hand on the saddle, and it was already covered with beads of sweat.

"Not moving." The scout said, "The thief moved again, and was again stopped by my hands fifty paces away. ”

Guo Ruke exhaled a long breath and forcibly calmed the beating heart in his chest. The progress of Jing Keqin's operation was the same as predicted, no matter how desperate Jing Keqin tried, the impact of the outposts occupied by the bird gunners occupying more than eighty percent of them was not worth mentioning when they took the initiative to attack. According to rough estimates, the corpses thrown by Jing Keqin on the battlefield are probably not a hundred but fifty.

"I'd like to see how patient the horses are when they return to camp." Guo Ruke secretly laughed. Although Jing Keqin's efforts were futile, it was not without merit, and its role as a sandbag and taking human lives to attract the frontal fire of the right post should not be underestimated. If Ma Guangchun really wants to win outside Cen Peng City, taking this opportunity to outflank the two wings is the best choice, otherwise once Jing Keqin's troops suffer too many casualties and completely collapse, the returning horse team will have to pay more price to face the complete Xiaosancai formation alone.

Jing Keqin's troops have repeatedly attacked to no avail, but every time they retreat, they will come back. Seeing this, Ma Guangchun put so much pressure on Jing Keqin that Jing Keqin was willing to risk the mutiny of the soldiers and rushed forward. The same horn sound as the right sentry on the side of the stream restarted, and Jing Keqin, who knew the ending, once again oversaw the charge, but this time, the right sentry was not fully loaded, and only with the prepared archers and crossbowmen, Jing Keqin's battle spirit was already low to the bottom of the valley shot back. Seeing this, Guo Ruke directly sent someone to inform Wei Shanhong and asked him to immediately start preparing to deal with the Ma army.

Sure enough, after the Russian Revolution, the news of the movement of the horse army back to the camp finally came. Guo Ruke was still skeptical at first, but when he saw the scene of the black Flying Tiger Flag in the distance being completely covered by countless plain white flags, he suddenly stepped forward immediately, and his right hand involuntarily pinched the wooden pole of the Ling Flag in his hand.

"A platoon of pikemen on the left flank!"

"The second row of wolf millers on the right flank!"

“......”

After the battle began, the left and right flanks of the right post, which had been silent, at this time, the various teams and Wutang soldiers pulled back and galloped, and gave the order to be on guard. Compared with the existing Jing Keqin Division, which constantly tested the front of the charge, the left and right sides of the right post were likely to be the focus of the breakthrough of the Ma army returning to the camp. The Zhao battalion is mainly based on firearms, supplemented by a small number of long and short soldiers, who are responsible for maintaining the stability of the entire ranks, so both the selection of soldiers and the intensity of training have jumped several times compared with before. Considering that the sequence dominated by the bird and the hand-to-hand is the most afraid of charging and short-handed combat, the most important thing is to resist the attack of all kinds of cavalry with the strongest impact power in the content of these long-term and short-term soldiers' daily training.

Guo Ruke raised the flag, and soon, there were majestic shouts from the left and right wings. The soldiers of the long and short soldiers wiped the blades in their hands, and one after another made a crisp but murderous sound of metal colliding. Such voices converged for a long time, as if a steel beast was about to move waiting for the right sentry formation.

"The thief has crossed the stream!"

"Thieves and horses are coming from the left and right!"

Guo Ruke listened to the information from the scouts with bated breath, and his eyes swept from the left end of the battlefield to the right end, and from the right end to the left end. Although Ma Guangchun is famous, it has become natural for him to follow the rules in his every move. The situation was all in anticipation, although Guo Ruke was nervous, but some of the original fears had disappeared at this time.

"Come, good horses. In the past, you insulted my lord, but today I can see you deeply! Guo Ruke was excited, his eyes were like copper bells, the fire in his chest was burning, and his whole body trembled violently involuntarily.

"The thief horse pierces the formation from the front!"

Suddenly, a discordant voice came into Guo Ruke's ears. Guo Ruke was suddenly shocked, came back to his senses and grabbed the scout who came to report, and asked sharply: "What did you say?" ”

The scout repeated: "The number of thieves coming out of the front is unknown!" ”

Guo Ruke couldn't help but be suffocated, and looked forward anxiously, and saw that the chaotic Jing Keqin team had already set up several plain white flags at some point.

"It seems that there is a thief horse army on the front, and if you follow the order of the command, will you shrink and retreat?" Guo Ruke was still shocked, a Tang soldier beside Wei Shanhong picked up the soldiers, jumped to his horse and said hurriedly, "The second row of guns is resting, it is difficult to continue to block in a short time!" ”

Wei Shanhong also noticed the Ma army returning to the camp from the front.

Guo Ruke raised his eyes again to look at the left and right, and there were scouts who reported: "The enemy horses on the left and right flanks are cruising, and their meaning is unknown!" ”

"Oops!" When Guo Ruke heard this, he punched his fists and sighed. At a normal speed, if you want to copy your own army when you return to the camp, then you should be within fifty paces of the formation at this time. However, looking at the moment, in front of the right sentry commander and short soldiers who were waiting for the arrival of the returning horse army, how could there be half of the returning horse army.

The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark. Ma Guangchun's change of tactics caught Guo Ruke off guard.

Just as Wei Shanhong's message said, the two rows of bird guns in front of them had already released several rounds of guns in order to block the constantly conflicting Jing Keqin Division. Now that the side is resting, the horse army that returned to the camp took advantage of the situation, and this clear observation has been planned for a long time, and the left and right flanks are empty, but in fact, the main force is all in it. The right sentry is overstretched, and the left and right flanks have already concentrated all their energy on both sides, and it is too late to temporarily change formations, and second, I am afraid that it will cause chaos. However, it is also a fantasy to resist Ma Guangchun's full force rush with the weak front of the right sentry.

After a hard work, is it a failure? Guo Ruke swallowed, his head turned sharply, hoping to quickly come up with a way to deal with it. However, looking at the constantly emerging and endless returning horse army in the distance directly ahead, his mind was blank. At this time, there was a sudden chaos in Jing Keqin's department.
