The thief laughed wildly and shouted:

"I found you early in the morning, and the heralds have already returned to the formation to report the information, and now I'm just delaying the time, telling you this news, can you still turn defeat into victory?"

When Tao Zhutu heard the anger, he raised his bow and was about to shoot, but was stopped by Lan Ziyi.

Tao Zhutu turned his head to ask why, but found that Lan Ziyi's face was almost unbearable.

Lan Ziyi actually couldn't cry or laugh, could this be regarded as delaying time? According to the thieves, the thieves' strength is close to 50,000, and there are less than 300 people under their hands, so what was the use of the past? What's the difference between going early and going late?

Anyway, Lan Ziyi didn't see any difference in this,

Are these thieves so simple?

Lan Ziyi smiled and said to Tao Zhutu:

"Kill unknown, put the guy away."

Then he smiled at the thief:

"You are really loyal and courageous, but you use it on thieves."

Then he said to the sergeant on the side:

"Tie them up to a nearby tree, and come back to deal with them when the business is done."

Someone asked:

"Wei Hou, what should I do if I run away with it?"

兰子义 says:

"Let's run, let's run, anyway, I've already let go so much tonight, I don't care about letting go a few more."

The thief Kou was more or less relieved to see that Lan Ziyi didn't let his subordinates kill, but he still couldn't figure out why Lan Ziyi had such an attitude, and he was at a loss.

Seeing that the thief was pressed away, Tao Zhutu opened his mouth and asked:

"That thief is so arrogant, why doesn't Wei Hou let me kill him?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Even if they don't talk nonsense, do you dare to go up and save it?"

Only then did Peach Chase Rabbit come to his senses, and then asked:

"Then why don't you take them back to the city?"

兰子义 says:

"There are still more than 50,000 people to solve in front of us, and it is a burden to hold them in check.

Even if we can be sent back, the fire in Yuzhou City will burn down, the treasury will be gone, and tomorrow we will have nothing to eat, where will there be food to feed these people?

I don't want to kill anyone, so let it go. “

Then Lan Ziyi beckoned his subordinates to Jihu Battalion soldiers.

"Have you packed it up? Let's go! ”

After hearing the order, the army shouted loudly, lined up and set off with Lan Ziyi.

Tao Zhutu was thoughtful, still thinking about what Lan Ziyi said just now, so he asked while riding a horse:

"According to what the thief said, the battle outside the north gate of Yuzhou is quite urgent, but Wei Hou doesn't seem to be worried."

兰子义 says:

"First of all, the thieves are surrounded by horses, not people, although the dead horses are a headache, but most of the horses in Taizheng are given by our family, just consider me a loser, this pressure can still stand;

Secondly, the thieves still want to take the horse instead of kill it. Nearly 100,000 horses are gathered together, and they can be grabbed at will when they run, and the southerners are unfamiliar with horses, and there is no custom or hobby of horse riding and racing in the countryside, and I don't think they have the ability to deal with the horses that are surrounded.

In the end, the thieves are just defeated soldiers and fighting the trapped beasts, and there is only one breath left, so there is no need to be too afraid of them. “

Tao Zhutu nodded as he listened, and then asked:

"So there's no need to worry?"

兰子义 says:

"There are tens of thousands of thieves outside the north gate, how can you not worry?

All the military horses are surrounded, and once something happens, the cavalry of the forbidden army will become waste, where can it not matter? “

Tao Zhutu didn't understand what Lan Ziyi meant, and asked:

"What does Wei Hou mean?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"You'll have to see what's going on."

At this time, the striker suddenly stopped his horse, and all the sergeants behind him stopped.

The forward sergeant shouted:

"Wei Hou, look!"

You don't have to look to guess what's going on.

Lan Ziyi and they came from the west, the terrain is high, and from here through the grass and trees, the fire in Yuzhou City has been extinguished a lot, and at this time it is only smoke.

On the contrary, there is a series of fires in the north of Yuzhou, not a fire lit by houses and trees, but more like a pillar of light composed of countless torches.

Looking at the forest road in the highlands, it's like lighting a lamp next to a dying campfire.

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu urged forward, only to see that outside the woods under the hillside, it was densely packed with thieves lighting torches and quickly enclosing a square, only the north side was not encircled, and there was a thief infantry phalanx moving from the east to the north, trying to close the encirclement.

The thieves not only lit their own torches for lighting, but also got long poles, spears and other things to light the fire to resist the horses.

The other thieves were busy trying to catch the horses with long ropes and poles.

The horses were afraid of fire and were blocked in the middle, but the whole herd was not willing to be caught, and they dodged the guys thrown by the thieves, and the thieves were not skilled, and it was still very difficult to get the horses down, and even if they did, they couldn't pull them back.

The besieged horses still did not release arrows to return fire, which further disrupted the actions of the thieves.

In fact, Lan Ziyi heard that the horses were trapped just now and kept wondering how they were trapped, tens of thousands of horses ran up, and they could trample all the people who stood in the way to death, so I understand.

Tao Zhutu pointed to the southeast side of the thief phalanx in the distance and said:

"Wei Hou, look over there, it seems that someone is fighting."

Lan Ziyi looked over the way, and sure enough, the bandits over there had strong troops, and it looked as if there was a whole bandit infantry phalanx blocked in the southwest corner, not surround the horse inward, but make a defensive formation outward, constantly shooting arrows and firing back.

In fact, the long encirclement to the south and east of the thieves was defended on both sides, with horses in the inner ring and fighting in the outer ring.

It can be seen that there are officers and troops in the southeast direction, but the officers and soldiers are just shooting at the thieves, and the shooting is still very chaotic, it should be the cavalry of the forbidden army that was relieved outside the east gate, and they came to the north to support, and they met the thieves who had just been reorganized, and the two encountered engagement.

The cavalry of the forbidden army did not practice foot combat, and did not dare to rush directly to melee combat when the number was not superior, and the arrows were not as neat as the infantry archers.

But the current way it is still seen is in the past, the horses are still there, and the forbidden army is still fighting.

The fire in the city has been extinguished, Qi Rongxun should have cleaned up the forbidden infantry in the city, otherwise how could it be possible to extinguish the fire so quickly.

Then it's only a matter of time before his infantry supports him, and then the 50,000 thieves will have to be explained here, in that case, even if the bandits are defeated this time, the remaining thieves in the camp will no longer have an advantage in strength, and they can surrender with the artillery bombardment of the Shenji battalion.

If Lan Ziyi is allowed to command, he will definitely kill as many horses as possible, kill as many as he can, and run away as soon as he kills

This time the thieves stopped and grabbed the horses to send them to death.

For the first time since the expedition, Lan Ziyi felt relaxed.

Maybe it's because he wants to be a god, Lan Ziyi didn't talk to the soldiers around him for a long time,

Peach Rabbit asked:

"Wei Hou, what should we do now?"

Lan Ziyi heard Tao Zhutu's question, and only then did he take his mind back from the joy after winning the battle,

Although the current situation is very good in Lan Ziyi's opinion, if the besieged horses and people are left alone, it will be dangerous to wait until the thieves turn the corner and start killing the horses.

Looking at the thieves outside the Yuzhou City Gate who were gradually about to complete the siege, Lan Ziyi said:

"Brothers, the thieves are staying here tonight to kill themselves, and this is a godsend that we can make a difference.

As long as we can hold out until the infantry in the city arrives, we will win.

But before that, we must not allow the thieves to surround the remaining soldiers and horses of our Jihu camp to death.

We must buy time for the besieged men and horses to escape.

Come with me, all the armies! “

After saying that, Lan Ziyi pulled out his sword, slammed the reins, and jumped out of the horse, followed by Tao Zhutu,

On the side, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion also took out bows, arrows and sabers, and rushed out with Lan Ziyi.

The formation of the thief army on the west side guarding the westward route has already received a line report, and has already re-formed a formation behind its own formation to defend against the onslaught of Lan Ziyi's cavalry.

But Lan Ziyi, who pounced down from the mountain, did not go straight to the bandit line, but led the team to the north, bypassing the tightly defended line of the bandits.

Peach Rabbit asked on the horse:

"Why don't you just penetrate the thieves from here?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"There are too many thieves, the formation is too thick, and if you break hard, you will definitely die.

The formation on the north side of the thieves has not yet been encircled, so there is a chance.

We've got to find a way to stop the thieves in our track. “

Peach Rabbit nodded after hearing this, and said:

"I see."

Under the leadership of Lan Ziyi, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion rode their horses and galloped, bypassing the defenses and arrows of the thieves in the west, and rushed straight to the gap in the north.

When the thieves who came to join the siege saw that the cavalry was coming, they also quickened their pace and tried to seal the line as soon as possible.

But after all, two legs can't run on four legs, Lan Ziyi had already rushed to the thieves before they stopped organizing a formation and erected their spears.

After the three-wheeled cavalry shooting, Lan Ziyi and they rushed into the thief formation with a saber in hand, and the speed did not decrease and slashed all the way, so that the soldiers did not have to swing the knife, but just put the saber flat, and then the horse momentum could harvest the heads all the way, and for a while, the stumps and broken arms flew in all directions, and the blood poured out, and it was red.

The thieves were still marching when they were impacted, neither forming a phalanx nor forming a formation, running into a plate of loose sand, and being rushed by Lan Ziyi's elite cavalry, the entire formation was pierced from beginning to end.

Lan Ziyi rushed all the way through the thief formation, stopped outside the range of the arrows behind the thief formation, and began to regroup.

Tao Zhutu said on Lan Ziyi's side:

"Happy! I have never rushed as much as I do today. ”

Lan Ziyi just wanted to chant along, but after turning the horse's head, he lost his voice and shouted

"Oops!"

Peach Chase Rabbit was about to ask why, but when he turned his head to look at it, he didn't feel good.

It turned out that the thieves did not disperse after being penetrated, and they did not even slow down their pace, but continued to advance rapidly according to the original steps, which was bound to completely seal the escape route of the besieged soldiers.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi didn't say a word and urged the horse to charge again, and the soldiers beside him also took out their bows and arrows again and aimed at them.

Looking at the loose formation of the thieves and the hurried and panicked pace, I thought that this impact would be able to break the thieves, but I didn't expect that arrows suddenly flew on the left side at this time, and many knights of the Tiger Battalion were hit by arrows.

Lan Ziyi was pressed on the back of the horse by the peach rabbit when the arrow flew, and after the arrow flew, Lan Ziyi got up and asked:

"Where did the attack come from?"

Pointing to the south, he said:

"It's the thieves from the west, and they're coming out."
