At the last moment, on the left side of Zhang Yuan's main formation, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves and a shouting of killing that rushed to the sky, and this sudden shouting and killing sound frightened Zhang Yuan at that time.

Where did the army come from? Or are they all cavalry? Aren't there thousands of people listening to the sound? Could it be that at this juncture, the reinforcements of the thieves have arrived?

Eagerly, he grabbed a pale face of a relative and shouted, "Go and find out, report me." ”

In fact, at this time, there is no need to investigate, and the hooves and shouts of the cavalry have been heard, which proves that it is definitely not Zhang Yuan's side, and the people and horses must be close at hand, this is Zhang Yuan's lack of command experience, and it is simply the reason why he has no command experience. Relying on the city wall to resist, if the enemy is few, he will counterattack, and if the enemy is many, he will defend to the death, where is he stupid to go to investigate, wasting that precious time in vain?

That Xiao Qi reacted quickly, and stepped forward to grab Zhang Yuan: "Brother, don't wait for any news, quickly organize the existing men and horses to form a formation to the east to fight against the enemy cavalry, and then fall back to the infantry to form a formation to defend." ”

reminded the dreamman in a word, Zhang Yuanlian said: "Yes, yes, the brothers of this formation quickly turn around, face the confrontation in the east, and gain time to transfer troops." ”

So the hundreds of Zhang Yuanzi who were in a hurry began to turn to face east, but they didn't go through such training in a hurry, where was the hurry, for a while, people shouted and neighed and collided with each other, and it looked like a slaughter.

Zhang Yuan stomped his feet anxiously on the horse, but it was also in vain. Seeing that in the dark sky in the east, a group of enemy horsemen like a flood of beasts roared around, and the disciple who had just been sent to investigate was swallowed by the huge beast before he had time to turn his horse and flee quickly, and he didn't even leave a scumbag, and the beast didn't stay for a moment with the breath of death and the pressure like a mountain.

"It's over, I'm dying."

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and sighed, even now, even if the Heavenly King is alive, there is nothing he can do, death is about to come to him, and all his hatred and dreams will be over.

But a miracle happened, but the cavalry that was like a flood of beasts did not kill him, but roared a stone's throw away from his own formation, and went directly to the fortress.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be ecstatic, and couldn't help but give birth to a kind of fantasy luck, "Could it be that this is your own army?" Could it be that this is Li Yuanhao's victorious return? Could it be that God helps me? ”

But as soon as the ecstasy started, suddenly his face was like ashes, so where is his own army? It was clear that the enemy had killed his infantry archers in front of the fortress, and Zhang Yuan closed his eyes in pain again.

Cao Meng, who was preparing to fight to the death on the fortress, was also ecstatic, seeing a team of cavalry coming overwhelmingly, he correctly abandoned Zhang Yuan's main formation, and directly killed the archers and firearms under the fortress, as well as those who climbed the city and countryside.

In the first row, there were fifty cavalrymen dressed in the uniforms of the cavalry of the intruding army, shouting and releasing their bows and arrows to those archers, and immediately, the elm spray and artillery positions, which were the greatest threat to the fortress, sounded a miserable howl, and the cavalry ignored the enemy after releasing the arrows, took the bow in his left hand and drew his snowy saber in his right hand, and whistled and turned thirty paces outside the firearms array, and directly killed the stunned archer array, and on the periphery of the archer array, it was like peeling off a layer of human life like peeling garlic, and then continued to move forward and run, Piggybacking on the life of a brave attacker, and then roaring towards his rear team.

Before the firearms array recovered from the first wave of blows, the second wave of fifty feathered arrows fell, and then the work of the upper team was repeated, then the third wave, then the fourth wave.

No, how can there be a fifth wave, a sixth wave? Cao Meng saw clearly in the high fortress that his brothers had a total of four waves, each wave of fifty people, killing the enemy according to the way he was familiar with the pig burst array, but after four waves, he saw that those brothers had run away, but in the dust of the sky, there were constant cavalry shouting to kill.

But these later cavalry were not like their brothers, their clothes were not neat and uniform, and their weapons were even more different, including broadswords and spears, as well as scimitars and maces used by the Mongols, and even the legendary Twin Hammer Meteor Hall or something. Immediately after him, he went straight to the archers and the attackers who were already in disarray.

The wild war horse crashed into the enemy group, it was a hearty slash and kill, and in the rolling dust, there were still cavalry rushing out, constantly joining the ranks of slashing, and the previous thick Xiangyong array collapsed like hot water pouring snow in a blink of an eye.

Looking at this result, Cao Meng's heart was settled, and he exclaimed, "Our reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming." ”

A line of tears rolled down between the shouts, and I couldn't help myself. All the brothers on the fortress were shocked and shouted, "We are victorious, our reinforcements have arrived." All the people began to cry bitterly, hugging each other, slapping and reveling.

Because the fortress did not leave the walled gate, Cao Meng's brothers couldn't go down to help in the battle, but the people who fought the most fiercely became completely spectators, and really became sitting on the wall and watching.

If there is cheering on the battlefield, there must be wailing, and now under the slaughter of no less than 2,000 well-recharged cavalry, the wailing is Zhang Yuan's rural warriors who have been exhausted to the extreme.

On the battlefield, it was simply a one-sided slaughter like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, all the cavalry were full of their hormones, waving their weapons to their heart's content, reaping the lives of the village warriors for the god of death, those village warriors mustered up their last bit of strength not to fight, but to escape, running for their lives.

But how can the two legs of a sleepy man and a lack of courage run through the four legs that have been recuperating for a long time? For a time, those fugitives who left their backs to the cavalry were ruthlessly slashed, and only some sane townsmen ran to the fortress under the shouts of several hundred households, and their backs were tightly pressed against the fortress walls, trembling to resist the slashing of the cavalry.

The corpses everywhere, the knives and guns all over the ground, the ladders and other siege equipment have now become an obstacle to the cavalry's charge, and they have also become a temporary life-saving thing for about 1,000 villagers under the city. A part of the cavalry, under the leadership of more than 50 cavalrymen, constantly attacked the largest force of village warriors on the battlefield now, one was like a rainbow of morale, and the other was a decisive counterattack, shouting and screaming to kill and screaming earth-shattering.

Seeing this, Cao Meng in the city was very anxious, this city and countryside are all soldiers who have undergone preliminary training, although they are different from the brothers they have trained, but after all, they are better than idiot Xinding, if this is added to their own team, it will be twice the result with half the effort, not to mention that Zhang Yuan in order to let them go to the battlefield, it is good to eat and drink to feed the body of each strong, this is a good soldier seedlings from a hard background, it is a pity to kill like this.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted loudly, "The brothers below stop attacking, and the villagers below surrender their guns and don't kill." But a person's voice was too small, and there was a sound of killing underneath, where could I hear it, in a panic, the captain of the women's army ran everywhere, and organized all the people to follow Cao Meng and shouted neatly: "The brothers at the bottom stop attacking, and the townsmen will not kill if they surrender their guns." ”

So many times, the cavalry understood Cao Meng's shouting, and began to restrain those brothers who were disheveled in clothes to stop, and also shouted with Cao Meng; "Shoot or kill."

Those townsmen have long had no way to retreat, just because there was no hope to summon up Yu Yong to shout for a fierce battle, at this time I heard that the gun is not killed, where do you not throw away the knife and gun and surrender? Among them, a few of Zhang Yuan's disciples thought that even if they surrendered, there would not necessarily be any benefit, so they shouted and encouraged Xiang Yong to kill the enemy, but they couldn't get a response from Xiang Yong, so they attracted a rain of arrows and died immediately.

At the end of the battle, one brother sent a hundred brothers to collect the weapons of Xiang Yong, take charge of the guard, and then raised his head and shouted to the fortress: "Is Chief Cao here?" Is Brother Cao here? Later, there was a cry in his tone.

When Cao Meng heard the voice, it was the cavalry commander Tao Baozhu, and immediately laughed and scolded easily: "I'm not dead yet, will you cry for me?" See if I will go down to the city in the future and not kill you boy. ”

Taobao couldn't help cheering, "Brother Cao is not dead, Brother Cao is fine." Everyone began to cheer, even the motley-clad cavalry.

"Brother Baozhu, don't be busy cheering yet, the battle is not over yet, don't go and kill the enemy quickly, and when the battle is over, it will not be too late for me to have a carnival with you and other brothers."

This time it reminded Taobao to live, and immediately agreed to take the rest of the brothers to turn around and kill the battlefield.

At this time, the battlefield was nearing its end, and the scattered and fleeing townsmen, archers, and signatories, all abandoned their swords, guns, bows and arrows after listening to the shouts on the fortress, and fell to the ground with their hands raised and surrendered, and those cavalry left a small number of men and horses to take care of them, and the others continued to kill the enemy who did not surrender.

Taobao was eager to rescue the fortress, and he ignored Zhang Yuan's formation of hundreds of people, but directly killed the fortress city, which solved the threat of the fortress, but also gave Zhang Yuan a chance to escape.

Zhang Yuan saw that the enemy brigade ignored him and killed his own infantry archers, his eyes were black and he almost fell off his horse, and he shouted sadly, our army was resting.

At this time, the seventh brother saw that the general trend was gone, so he pulled up Zhang Yuan's war horse and turned around and ran, while running instead of Zhang Yuan, who had fallen into despair, with an order, "Brothers, quickly, take advantage of the enemy's inability to take care of me, and protect my brother back to the city." ”

Those brothers in this formation, who had been shocked by the incident, immediately came back to their senses, only to remember that they were still in the formation, life and death were only between breaths, where to care about anything else, swarming around Zhang Yuan, throwing away the conspicuous banner swords and guns and running towards the Ganquan City Gate.

After returning to the city, he went to the city to watch the battle, just arrived at the head of the city and saw the etiquette with the county honor, and before he had time to talk about the battlefield process with the county honor, he heard a thunderous roar in the distance, and when he looked at the sound, he saw the dark sky, like a dark cloud, a group of men and horses rolled in, and went straight to the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and saw that the number of people was not less than two thousand, and the frightened soul was scattered, so he watched those thieves kill the soldiers in front of the fortress like wolves and tigers.

Those foot soldiers collapsed at that time, and when they were lamenting, they saw Zhang Yuan's formation, who had somehow escaped a catastrophe, fled to his city gate in embarrassment, and when he was about to give the order to answer, the county respected him and shouted: "Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly, don't let the thieves break the sweet spring." ”
