Chapter 651: Obstruction

Sun Yingyuan saw the plan of the Xingtian Army at the beginning of the attack on Huang Degong's camp at the beginning of the Xingtian Army, he knew that now he and Huang Degong were grasshoppers on a rope, one was prosperous and the other was lost, if Huang Degong was destroyed by the Xingtian Army, it would be his Sun Yingyuan's turn next, and he did not dare to sit back and watch Huang Degong be attacked and killed by the Xingtian Army, so when more than 1,000 people and horses were mobilized in the camp, a thousand generals led their troops out of the camp and rushed to the east of the city to contain the attack of the Xingtian Army.

Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong have a good relationship, and now he also knows that he and Huang Degong are grasshoppers tied to a rope, once Huang Degong loses, it will be his Sun Yingyuan's turn next, so if you want to keep yourself, you can't sit back and watch Huang Degong be defeated by the Xingtian Army.

But not long after Sun Yingyuan's soldiers and horses were sent out, they saw a cavalry of the Xingtian Army appear on the battlefield, swept across the battlefield like a whirlwind, and quickly rushed into the reinforcement team sent by Sun Yingyuan.

At this time, another soldier and horse of the Xingtian Army appeared on the battlefield, and directly pounced on a divided officer and army.

The cavalry of the Xingtian Army quickly surrounded the remaining part of the officers and soldiers, like a tornado, constantly galloping around them, and from time to time firing arrows at this group of surrounded officers and soldiers, although this group of officers and soldiers also resisted, shooting a small number of cavalry of the Xingtian Army, but their counterattack was pale and weak, and they were about to be eaten by the cavalry of the Xingtian Army.

Seeing this, Sun Yingyuan couldn't sit still in the camp, so he quickly ordered another 2,000 soldiers and horses, and personally led the slaughter out of the camp and rushed straight to the chaotic battlefield.

Seeing that Sun Yingyuan came out of the camp to rescue his men, the cavalry and infantry of the Xingtian Army did not fight with them, and after killing and injuring a large number of officers and soldiers, they took the initiative to retreat, staring at Sun Yingyuan and rescuing these hundreds of remnants back into the camp.

After Sun Yingyuan returned to the camp, he recalled the fierceness shown by the Xingtian Army just now, it was not at all like the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo and other righteous armies that he had seen before, whether the enemy army was attacking with cavalry or infantry, it seemed to advance and retreat in a measured manner, showing strong organization and discipline, and the thieves and soldiers were even more fearless of death, which couldn't help but make him feel a little palpitating, and he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for the Xingtian Army.

Listening to the fierce artillery and shouting from the east of the city, Sun Yingyuan didn't dare to sit idly by, adjusted after returning to the camp, and once again sent two thousand soldiers and horses out of the camp to go straight to the city of Runing, marching east along the city wall, relying on the defenders' artillery fire and bows and crossbows above the city wall to provide cover for them and support Huang Degong.

This time, the officers and soldiers who went out learned to be obedient, and as soon as they left the camp, they rushed towards the city wall, and entered the foot of the city wall before Situ Liang led the cavalry to surround them.

And the defenders on the city wall also saw Sun Yingyuan's plan, and the defender gave an order, and the cavalry of the Xingtian Army who were galloping towards the city fired arrows in unison, and the artillery on the city also began to roar, which immediately caused the cavalry under Situ Liang to lose more than 20 soldiers and horses.

"Spread out! Don't go back! Rush up and kill Lao Tzu! Don't let this group of officers and soldiers rush to the east of the city! Situ Liang broke off an arrow stuck in the leaf of his left arm, and he didn't care about the injury to his arm, and roared loudly.

The cavalry that had just charged in a dense formation began to disperse, and the distance between the horses was widened, so as to reduce the hit rate of the artillery shots fired on the city wall, and one by one followed Situ Liang to roar and continue to accelerate the horses forward, rushing towards the group of officers and soldiers under Sun Yingyuan.

At this time, Liu Yaoben, who was watching the enemy's formation, also immediately ordered the training battalion under his command to start running to keep up, and Situ Liang's cavalry battalion pincer towards this group of officers and soldiers.

Xiao Tianjian watched the battle situation on both sides with a telescope from the watchtower in the camp from afar, and when he saw the performance of Situ Liang and Liu Yaoben, he put down the telescope and smiled at Li Jinde: "Cultivation!" Check it out! Situ Liang and Yaoben did a good job, they were brave and strategic, Sun Yingyuan may not be able to help Shanghuang this time! ”

Things were basically the same as Xiao Tianjian expected, although the men and horses sent by Sun Yingyuan went to the city to support Huang Degong in the east of the city, but the guerrilla who led the troops still chose to retreat when he saw the two bandit armies sandwiching him back and forth, and took these soldiers and horses to retreat to the camp in the west of the city again.

At the end of the day, Sun Yingyuan can be said to have tried his best, wanting to send troops to contain the attack of the Xingtian Army on Huang Degong's department, but every time he shows up, these two groups of Xingtian Army will immediately stick up like maggots on the tarsal bones, and beat them back to the camp like a madman, the result is that at the end of the day, Sun Yingyuan has lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the angry Sun Yingyuan scolded his subordinates for being incompetent, and the generals did not dare to speak one by one with their necks full of stomachs. As long as you don't want to die outside, who can kill you to the east of the city! What's more, listening to this movement in the east of the city, the fight is more lively than here, if you go, who knows if you can enter Huang Degong's camp! If you don't run away, you're looking for death.

And Luo Li's side, one day of fierce attack, because Huang Degong's camp defended, the resistance was very fierce, although the artillery battalion and firecrackers of the Xingtian Army caused them a lot of casualties, but they did not attack Huang Degong's camp, seeing the sunset in the West Mountain, Luo Li had to order to collect the troops and fight again tomorrow.

That night, Sun Ying's vitality was too aggrieved by the Xingtian Army during the day, and in the second half of the night, he sent a sentry to the Xingtian Army camp to steal the camp, but as soon as the people and horses came out of the camp, they were found by the secret post of the Xingtian Army ambushed outside their camp, and the result was that stealing chickens and rice was not successful, and the hundreds of people sent were ambushed by the Xingtian Army, and few ran back, and they were either killed or captured on the spot, and they turned into nothing in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, the Xingtian army once again out of the camp and launched a fierce attack on the camp of Huang Degong's department, this time they once again sacrificed the magic weapon, took out some of the limited flowering bombs at hand, and hit the Huang Degong camp is a fierce bombardment, and immediately hit the chickens and dogs in the Huang Degong camp.

And the soldiers and generals of Runing Mansion in the city were shocked one by one in the city, they condescended to see the battlefield situation very clearly, and watched the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army slapping Huang Degong's camp like a tide fiercely, and the momentum seemed to never stop, and Huang Degong's camp was like a flat boat in the sea, and it seemed that it could be subverted at any time under the offensive of the Xingtian Army, and their hearts were tense for a while.

Huang Degong sent people to the city many times to ask for help, but the soldiers of Runing Mansion in the city did not dare to open the door and go out of the city to counterattack the Xingtian Army, and the prefect even shouted in person at the head of the city, asking Huang Degong to hold on, and they also saw that the Xingtian Army was going to defeat Huang Degong first, and then deal with Sun Yingyuan, so they could only count on Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan to block this fierce thief army for them, but he also told Huang Degong's subordinates, saying that Sun Yingyuan in the west of the city had been flanking and containing the Xingtian Army, Let Huang Degong and his soldiers hold on and wait for Xiong Wencan to send reinforcements.

After Huang Degong learned about it, he scolded angrily in the camp, scolding the soldiers of Runing Mansion for not saving them when they saw death, if he could hold on, would he still need to ask them for help? And he couldn't help but be a little angry with Sun Yingyuan, why did he never come to support him in the past two days, knowing that the Xingtian Army was attacking his camp like crazy? So he sent people out of the camp again at the risk of death and went straight to Sun Yingyuan's side in the west of the city to ask for help.

But he even sent a few groups of cronies out, did not return to the camp, after these groups of people out of the camp, they were basically intercepted and killed outside the city by the scouts scattered outside the city by the Xingtian Army, only a group of people finally broke through the *** of the Xingtian Army, rushed to Sun Yingyuan's camp with injuries, knelt in front of Sun Yingyuan covered in blood and kowtowed repeatedly, begging Sun Yingyuan to rescue them quickly.

Sun Yingyuan's mouth was also bitter, to say that he was not working hard, but he didn't expect that the Xingtian Army would be so fierce that he wouldn't give him a chance at all, as long as he sent someone out of the camp, the cavalry of the thief army would immediately sweep in like a whirlwind, and his men ran back to the camp with a lot of blood, and by this afternoon, no one dared to lead the troops to battle anymore.

The result was that at the end of the next day, although Luo Li had not yet been able to attack Huang Degong's camp, he basically swept away all the obstacles outside Huang Degong's camp, and all kinds of horses, deer, trenches, and thistles that Huang Degong had set up outside the camp were almost cleared, and even his last defensive line was bombarded by the Xingtian Army like an old woman's teeth, and the soldiers and generals under Huang Degong suffered heavy casualties, and the entire camp was full of the sound of the wounded soldiers. This made the remaining officers and soldiers even more frightened, and they had no fighting spirit at all.

Huang Degong rarely showed compassion for his subordinates this time, personally inspected the camp, took his family to bandage the wounded soldiers with medicine, and even killed some wounded horses in the camp, and made people cook meat and distribute it to the soldiers. In order to keep them motivated, he also lied that the reinforcements were already on their way and would arrive here soon, and they would be fine then.

And Zhu Youqiao, the king of Runing Mansion, was also frightened in the past two days, he was a slightly more generous person than the Fu King of Luoyang, considering that once Runing Mansion was broken, he might lose his life, so he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, took out 50,000 taels of silver from the palace, let people go out of the city overnight, and gave them to the second general Sun Huang, so that they could be used as a reward for merit, boost the morale of the officials and soldiers, and strive to ensure that Runing Mansion is not lost.
