Liu Zhilan and Zhang Erhu followed behind Yan Wuji, patrolling the city defense, chatting without a word, the Humeng people have stopped a lot in the past few days, although there are occasional movements, but they are all thunder and rain.

The three of them had a rare time to sleep in the past two days, and they got together energetically to discuss the current war situation, and now the battle situation has not yet been rolled out, although it is no longer a small fight, but it has always been around Xiema Town, and it has not affected the interior of Dingzhou, which is of course the best result.

However, they all had a hunch that Humeng's real southward movement had not yet officially begun, and Temuter's 60,000 soldiers and horses were only the vanguard troops, because from beginning to end, there was no news about the newly ascended Khan's throne, which was completely inconsistent with his character.

So the only thing that can be explained is that Kelie is still waiting, as for what exactly he is waiting for, it is unknown, it may be waiting for Temuter to take Shema Town, if he is waiting for this, it is estimated that he will not be able to wait for the news he wants even if he waits for the 60,000 Humeng army to fight out, because judging from the current situation, as long as there is no accident, Xiema Town will never have the possibility of falling.

And if he was waiting for others, he could only wait for the Zimu River under Hanyue Pass to "make way" for them, but it was only for the past few days.

"Battalion commander, have you noticed that the security in the Humeng camp today has suddenly become stricter, and the troops in charge of patrolling are at least twice as many as usual." Liu Zhilan looked at the Humeng camp outside the city thoughtfully, since he had just climbed the city wall, he had always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't react until just now.

When Yan Wuji and Zhang Erhu heard this, they also leaned against the wall and looked, the so-called "there must be a demon when things go wrong", Yan Wuji is sure that there are "demons" among them, but what kind of "demon" is not easy to judge for a while.

"It may be that Hu Meng sent some princess to work in the army, so it is possible that the security measures have been strengthened." Zhang Erhu is a very smart person, but he usually doesn't like to use his brain, but it is undeniable that the situation he said is also possible.

Yan Wuji nodded, as a reply to what he had just said, and continued to patrol again, but it was obvious that his mind was no longer on patrolling.

Zhang Erhu scratched his head, smiled a little indifferently, turned his head to look at Liu Zhilan on the left, and saw that the other party was also looking at him, so he winked at the other party a little naughtily, which made Liu Zhilan stunned for a while, and thought that he Zhang Erhu was giving himself some hint.

After continuing to walk for about half an hour, Zhang Erhu's face suddenly changed drastically and sighed lightly: "No!" Then he leaned down on the battlement again and looked out with a look of uncertainty on his face.

Yan Wuji and Liu Zhilan glanced at each other suspiciously, obviously not knowing what kind of nerves this Zhang Erhu was having, and just as they wanted to ask, they heard Zhang Erhu anxiously shouting: "Quick, help me see if the number of saddles in the Humeng camp is less." ”

Zhang Erhu had just arrived in Xiema Town, so he didn't know the situation, but Yan Wuji and Liu Zhilan had been staring at the Humeng camp for almost two months, so they knew everything about the place where the saddle was usually placed in the Humeng camp.

At a glance, they saw that many of the places where the saddles had been placed were empty.

"Huh..." The two of them were shocked in their hearts, this shouldn't be a retreat, right? The sudden increase in the number of soldiers in front of him is just a suspicious formation, just to show that they are still holding on to prevent the Yan army in the city from pursuing?

Zhang Erhu saw the slight surprise on the faces of the two of them at a glance, and interrupted mercilessly: "Don't forget where our Xiao Cavalry Camp came from. ”

One sentence made Yan Wuji a little frightened from the surprise just now, although he was not sure yet, but if Zhang Erhu's guess was true, then the Blade Army would be really dangerous.

After all, among the three people, only Zhang Erhu knows about cavalry, and as far as Zhang Erhu said, in the land of Dingzhou, as long as there are 5,000 cavalry, they dare to rush into a large formation of 30,000 infantry, not to mention that Temuter now has at least 40,000 cavalry combat power in his hands, while the Blade Army only has 25,000.

"In any case, it is necessary to understand the reality of the enemy." Yan Wuji frowned.

"Let me take the Xiao cavalry battalion, if you can't rush out, it will prove that the Humeng people are not looking for trouble with the military commander, if you can rush out, it is unfortunate that I am right, I will lead the Xiao cavalry camp and go south directly to help."

Zhang Erhu's words were a little impulsive, if you can't rush out, it's not so easy to come back, when the Xiao Cavalry Battalion entered the city a few days ago, the second cavalry is a living example.

But it is undeniable that this is also the most direct and effective detection method, thinking of this, Yan Wuji suddenly felt that if there was a Yan army mixed in the Hu Meng army at this time, the situation would definitely not be so passive.

It's a pity that Temuter is really cunning, and he wiped out the Yan army that was originally mixed in, Yan Wuji was very annoyed by this, and correspondingly, Temuter, the capital of the Hu Meng army, also commented on him after Yan Wuji cleared out Hu Meng Xizuo in Xiema Town.

Yan Wuji didn't know when he had become such a decisive person, even though he knew that doing so might innocently bury many people's lives, he still nodded without hesitation.

When Zhang Erhu saw Shangguan nodding, he buckled his helmet on his head, hugged his fist at Yan Wuji, and turned away.

But the respect for Yan Wuji in his heart is a little more.

You must know that after the previous battle integration, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is actually under Yan Wuji's command, he can completely hold this cavalry tightly in his hands, turn a blind eye to the safety of the Blade Army, and then after the battle, use the establishment of these two battalions in his hands to at least implement a legitimate battalion commander to the imperial court.

But now he agreed to Zhang Erhu's request without hesitation, and the Xiaocai battalion was sent out, saying that it was a rescue, but in fact, it could be regarded as "returning the thing to its original owner", if it was placed in front of most of the Yan generals, they would not hesitate to make the first choice.

And this is where the Yan army is worried now, in addition to the older generation of generals such as Hao Zifeng and Qiu Xin, who have followed Yan Hu in the southern and northern wars, the current middle and low-level generals are nearly eight layers of the children of today's powerful families, and what they consider is the individual first, then the family, and finally the country.

It's a bit ironic to think about it, when you come out to join the army, you only think about making meritorious contributions, but you forget about protecting your family and defending the country, so the result will definitely collapse the entire Dayan military system one day in the future.

The assembly of three thousand people did not take much time, and before that, Song Tao led ten teams of scouts under his command had quietly slipped out of Xiema Town, and then broke into pieces and scattered.

Under the leadership of Zhang Erhu, the 3,000 cavalry battalion rushed out from the south gate, and the thunderous horse's hooves stepped directly towards the Humeng camp in the distance.

Sure enough, after encountering some symbolic resistance, Zhang Erhu successfully broke out of the encirclement, but he didn't dare to stay, because just fifty miles away from him, there was a Yan army that was struggling to support and was waiting for rescue without rescue.

This time, the Humon people obviously changed their attack strategy, they were no longer all at once and collectively attacked, but in batches, like waves, wave after wave towards the front.

On the other hand, Temutel himself, with a cavalry of only a thousand men, but every man and every horse looked unusually strong, stopped a hundred feet away and watched quietly.

Hao Zifeng understood very well that they did not have no intention of participating in the war, but were waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity for a crack in the Yan army's defensive formation.

As long as there is a flaw in the defense of the Yan army, they will be like a sharp sword, following the position of this flaw, piercing the defense of the Yan army with a sword and going straight to the heart.

This is a conventional method of warfare between cavalry and infantry, although it is not written in various military books and classics, but as long as the generals with a little experience, they are very aware of this, and the leader of this cavalry is the tip of this sword, so it will definitely be a fierce general who can be a ten.

According to the information gathered earlier, the Humeng general who sat on horseback and watched the battle situation with eyes like bloodthirsty hungry wolves was most likely Temutel himself.

There was a panic sound on the south side of the "Wow ......" defensive formation, bringing a wave of formation fluctuations, and Temuter, who was a hundred zhang away, immediately raised his sword to hit the horse, and was about to urge the war horse to rush out, but in the next moment, this fluctuation immediately stabilized again, and returned to the hardness of the previous barrier.

With some regret, Temutel put his slasher back on his waist, continued to closely watch the battle situation in front of him, and turned to one of his guards and shouted: "Go and ask Cha Ke to increase the impact harder, otherwise Lao Tzu will make him look good." ”

The guards took the order and left, and after a while, the impact and frequency of the cavalry on the right flank began to increase, and wave after wave of Humeng cavalry were like lifeless walking corpses, regardless of the Yan army in front, and then used their bodies and war horses under their crotch to slam into the big shield covered with spears, and under the big shield there was already a layer of corpses as high as a small hill, some of them were war horses, and some were people.

Cha Keduo secretly complained in his heart, what kind of war is this, this is obviously giving his life, although he has an absolute advantage in troops, but he is not used to consume it like this.

Seeing that the cavalry columns behind him were decreasing one by one, the pile of corpses in front of the Yan army was piling higher and higher, which made Cha Keduo really feel a little overwhelmed.

Under the continuous impact of the enemy, the Yan army was also very uncomfortable, and one after another was torn open by the other party, and then the soldiers behind immediately made up for it with shields and guns, and those Yan troops who were left on the periphery because they were replaced could only be trampled by Hu Meng's iron cavalry and reduced to flesh.

Seeing that the scope of the Yan army's defensive formation was getting smaller and smaller, the Humeng Iron Cavalry outside was like a hunting strangulation, so that every time the Yan army took a step back, it would leave behind the corpses of the Yan army all the way.
