"General, the sentry cavalry reported that a cavalry had left the camp of the Xirong army, numbering about three thousand people, and headed west." A primary school reported to Tang Biyu.

"It seems that the lord's plan has worked, and he has ordered the hussars to guard the mansions and the heavily armored infantry to prepare for the attack, and invite General Zhuo to me."

"No! Let's do it. ”

After the school left, Tang Bi silently said in his heart: "Lord! You must come back safely! Otherwise, how will the last general explain to you! ”

Just when Tang Bi was silently thinking in his heart, Zhuo Yidao came in and said, "Brother Tang, you are looking for me." ”

"Yidao, I just received a report from the sentry cavalry, and the Xirong army stationed in the Huating camp dispatched three thousand cavalry to the west."

"Three thousand cavalry, it seems that the lord's plan has worked."

"It worked, but it exceeded the lord's expectations, originally the lord thought that he would send a maximum of 1,000 sword knights until now, but now it is a thousand sword knights plus 2,000 Xirong elite horsemen! And the lord only has soldiers from the two provinces in his hands, and he is still a foot soldier; I'm so worried about my lord's safety! ”

"Yes! Brother Tang, I really didn't expect this; Brother Tang, what's the use of getting brothers, just say it! I can't get rid of it. ”

"Now, Xirong's three thousand cavalry are going to attack the lord, the lord's current situation is very critical, but I think this is also an opportunity for us, I will hand over the first cavalry mansion to you commander, you take the first cavalry mansion to copy the back road of the Xirong cavalry, and the lord will have a front and back attack, and I will lead the rest of the five mansions to attack the Huating camp with all their might, what do you think."

"Okay, but Brother Tang, how can I bring the troops over! If you take a detour, you won't be able to do it! Zhuo Yidao frowned and said.

"Yes! It's definitely too late to take a detour, and the nearest road happens to be blocked by the Huating camp. Tang Bi looked at the map with his hands behind his back and said.

"Then I will lead the army to rush directly from the front of the Huating camp." Zhuo Yidao said with a resolute face.

"Okay, it seems that this is the only way to go." Tang Biyan said: "I will first lead the army to make a feint attack on the Huating camp to cover your actions. ”

On the other side, the soldiers of the two prefectures led by Pingzi Guo Qi were ready to face the battle, and the most sturdy hundreds of carts were intricately placed on the road, completely blocking the entire road, and behind this obstacle were several bed crossbows and hundreds of crossbow soldiers waiting for them.

"Fifth son, is there any news from the east?" Guo Qi, who was wearing a military uniform, kept holding a wooden stick in his hand and kept pestle on the ground and lowered his head and asked.

"My lord, there is no news yet." Li Wuyan, who was standing on the side, said; "Lord, Brother Chen has arrived."

"Let him come!"

"Humble duties see the lord." Chen Feng came to Guo Qi to report.

"How's the position going?"

"According to the lord's orders, the lowly post has completed the arrangement of the pocket array, but it is just ......"

"It's just something, just say what you want, don't babble."

"My lord, it's just that our troops are insufficient, and the front is a little weak, and I am afraid that we will not be able to tighten our pockets when the time comes."

"You don't have to worry about this, this king has his own arrangements; With an hour and a half to go, it will be dark, and the battle will most likely continue into the night, which is where our advantage lies. Guo Qi said with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Half an hour later, Guo Qi received a report from the sentinel cavalry that a cavalry was coming from east to west, with about 3,000 people.

"Lord, what now? More than 3,000 Xirong cavalry came, and now we even lost the superiority in strength. Li Wu said with some frustration.

"Look at what scared you, what happened to the three thousand cavalry; Even if Lao Tzu broke his front teeth, he would eat them all. Guo Qi said quite confidently: "Don't forget, we are now in the mountains, and there are mountains and forests all around, and the cavalry can't exert all their combat power at all, but we occupy a favorable location, and wait for work at leisure, and it is not a problem to eat them at all." ”

"No! The lord is wise, but humble and dull. Li Wu said happily.

Although Guo Qi said so, Guo Qi still had a lot of worries in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, if he withdrew like this without fighting, Guo Qi was unwilling, so he could only bite the bullet.

————————

"Driving, driving, driving......"

"General, general......" A herald came to Hu Erkuo from the front and dismounted: "General, a roadblock has been found ahead, and an army is waiting for it, and I heard a faint sound of fighting in the rear. ”

"General, it seems that the baggage team has not been completely wiped out by the Yong army, but it is estimated that they should not last long."

"Well, the herald ordered all the departments to attack immediately and rescue the brothers of the baggage team."

"No! Commanded by Humble Duty......"

The charge of the cavalry "Rumble, Boom, Boom......" caused the earth to shake, and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground resounded through the mountains.

When the Xirong cavalry was preparing to attack, Guo Qi sat calmly on the repaired watchtower and looked down on everything on the battlefield.

"Fifth son, you go up and command it yourself! This king is here to fight for you. Guo Qi looked ahead and said.

"No, I will be commanded."

In fact, Guo Qi's watchtower is located in the middle of the road more than 300 meters behind the defense line, if Li Wu's command is unfavorable and let the Xirong cavalry break through the barricade defense line, it will take less than a cup of tea to kill the watchtower, and Guo Qi will not even have a chance to escape at that time.

"Wound your bow and aim ahead." After Li Wu arrived at the defensive line, he gave the military order.

The sound of horses' hooves of "rumble, rumble, rumble......" came from afar, giving people a heavy pressure, standing behind the barricade, the Yongjun soldiers, looking at the cavalry rushing towards them, some people began to tremble with their legs, moving backwards little by little, if there was a person who took the lead in escaping at this time, the entire defense line would probably collapse immediately.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, calm down, the lord is watching us from behind." Li Wu cheered up all the soldiers; "When I'm counting fifty paces, let's shoot him with arrows."

"Two hundred steps away......"

"One hundred and fifty steps away......"

"One hundred and twenty paces away......"

"A hundred steps away ......"

"Eighty paces away......"

"Fifty paces away, shoot the arrows."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The arrows came out of the string, forming a rain of arrows and flying towards the Xirong cavalry who were charging ahead, and in an instant, hundreds of Xirong cavalry were shot off the horse, and then trampled into meat sauce by the cavalry that rushed up from behind; In particular, the crossbow arrows fired from the bed crossbow pierced several Xijon cavalry in succession.

Dense rain of arrows round after round, groups of Xirong cavalry who charged in front were shot, and the wide barricade became an insurmountable barrier, protecting the Yongjun archers who continued to shoot arrows behind the barricade, and the Xirong cavalry lost more than 400 people in just one moment; And the Yongjun army had almost no losses except for consuming some arrows.
