Chapter 3: The Storm, Section 39 (I)

Li Hong's purpose was very clear, to break Yang Feng's resistance with the fastest speed and the strongest lineup, forcing him to use outflanking troops to participate in the defense.

Li Hong led the Black Panther Righteous Followers, and Jade led the Hu cavalry, and they frantically charged in depth along the enemy's position. They smashed through the dense ranks of the enemy one after another, like a giant picking up a big axe and knocking down one big tree after another, thundering and striking a blow.

Yang Feng couldn't stand the bloody stimulation anymore, and personally led the guard battalion to kill it. If Chu Feiyan's troops did not rush to the battlefield, he would have to throw the last 20,000 men into the battlefield.

The wind and clouds are unstoppable.

===================

Wulu drank a bowl of steaming gruel in one go, wiped a handful of water stains on his beard with his big hand, and smiled at Bai Huan: "Can you pull your Jingwei camp now?" ”

Bai Huan held the bowl, shaking it, and said unhurriedly: "20,000 people have finished fighting?" ”

"Of course not." Wulu looked at the battlefield drowning in the wind and snow, and said loudly: "But let them rest for a while." Now that your men are full of energy, it's time to strike a hard blow. ”

Bai Huan glanced at Wulu and said softly: "There is a fierce battle at the East Gate, should we wait a little and see how the situation develops." ”

"What, do you suspect that swallows and nine-headed birds can't eat leopards?" Wulu said in surprise, "More than 100,000 people, can't eat more than 10,000 people?" ”

Bai Huan smiled coldly and asked, "Fighting on the plains is the most suitable for cavalry to rush and kill." Have you ever seen a cavalry charge? ”

Wulu shook his head.

"I've seen it, so I know it's amazing. More than 100,000 people How about hundreds of thousands? They come and go as they please. Bai Huan smiled bitterly: "The nine-headed bird is not prepared at all, tens of thousands of people will be the first to rush together, and they will be immediately crushed, leaving the swallow alone." If the leopard wants to break through, it will be a breeze. He ran all night and entangled, just to take advantage of the snow to relieve the siege of gall pottery. I think for the sake of the master's future, it's better to take a break for a while, right? ”

Wulu looked at him, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, "You're not optimistic?" Why not be optimistic? Now, whether we take the city of Gall or defeat the leopard, we have won. ”

Bai Huan took a sip of porridge gently, looked at the fire burning in front of him, and said slowly: "Chu Shuai has been preparing in the north, he has dug several trenches, arranged a formation of thousands of carts, and used giant shields and piles to prepare to deal with leopards. As a result, the leopard was not fooled and ran to fight the nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird was discounted, and this plan to close the enclosure was basically in vain. ”

"If the cavalry of the leopards and them fought with them at the east gate until the afternoon, we would not have enough men and horses to attack the gall today. At night, when the weather is cold and freezing, the walls will freeze. Tomorrow ......" Bai Huan smiled bitterly, "Tomorrow we will have no way to attack the city, we can only retreat." ”

"So, the outcome of this battle, we have three hours to go, and we can know the outcome. If the leopard loses and we win, we have at least 100,000 men left to attack the gall, and we can take it before dark. But if the leopards keep dragging them and the main force is trapped at the east gate, our siege strength will not be enough, and we will not be able to lay down the gall today. If you can't fight today, you won't be able to fight tomorrow, and there will be no rations the day after tomorrow, so what if you don't retreat? ”

Wulu was silent and looked uneasy.

"We still have about 40,000 people in our hands, and the master thinks you are sure to take the city of Gauntlet? Feng Yi in the city is better than anyone else, and he seems to have transferred all the troops from the east gate and the north gate. Didn't the master realize that we can't even go up the city walls now? ”

"Actually, our combat mission has been completed. At the cost of more than 10,000 casualties, we attracted most of the defense of the city. As long as Chu Shuai and Yang Shuai participate in the siege, the defensive strength of the east gate and the north gate is insufficient, and the city can be taken down immediately. Can't you see that? ”

Wulu's expression became more and more ugly.

"If we lose this time and the master's troops are finished, even if the marshal passes on the position of the great leader to you, you have no strength and no troops, how long can you sit in this position? Dashuai's move to retreat into advance is nothing more than hoping that you and I will work together to help him lay a good pot. In the future, when his strength recovers, will you still be able to hold this position? ”

Wulu squeezed his hands nervously, his eyes tightly closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"We have already helped him accomplish the purpose of the battle, as long as the pressure on the defenders in the city is properly maintained. We don't need to storm and only look for casualties. Wait, wait until noon, and the situation will be clear. The leopard has been eliminated, we can continue to maintain the rhythm of the attack, drag the defense of the enemy, and let Chu Shuai and Yang Shuai do the siege work. If the leopards are still fighting fiercely with them, we must appropriately reduce the number of attacks, preserve our strength, and prepare to retreat to Taihang Mountain at any time. ”

Wulu slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "People are old, and sometimes they are confused. Luckily, I still have a friend of yours by my side. ”

Bai Huan took a sip of porridge and smiled indifferently: "I don't have martial arts, I can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so I have to sit here and think nonsense." ”

The bloodied military master hurriedly ran over and asked loudly, "Master, when are we going to start attacking?" ”

Wulu handed him the empty bowl in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Add me another bowl."

===================

Chu Feiyan's blocking troops laid out two rows of vehicles in front of the formation, which were long and thick. Behind the formation is a row of piles made of arm-thick trees, the tops of which are sharpened, and the rows stand in the air. Behind the piles are rows of giant shields, and behind each giant shield are soldiers holding six-zhang spears, the sharp spears of which are perched on top of the shields, pointing diagonally into the air.

Chu Feiyan rushed out and looked at the battlefield in the distance.

The situation on Yang Feng's side was very bad, the battlefield was chaotic, the Yellow Turban Army had no formation at all, and all the cavalry of the leopard had been scattered. The soldiers cried and howled on the battlefield, and the wolves rushed to the ground, and they were trampled and rammed by the rampaging war horses in patches.

The power of the Fengyun Iron Cavalry was indeed extraordinary, and Yang Feng's blocking force of 30,000 horses was scattered in less than half an hour. The blocking forces have been routed and are fleeing. The troops that had planned to outflank and annihilate the enemy had now rushed up and defended against the enemy's charge in a dense array of 5,000 men. The leopard's cavalry gnawed a big bone, and their speed dropped significantly, but they tightly suppressed the range of activity of the Yellow Turban Army, and it was impossible for Yang Feng to calmly change the formation and command the troops to outflank and encircle.

Chu Feiyan looked up at the sky, slowly stretched out his left hand, and more than a dozen snowflakes fell on his hand in a leisurely manner.

Leopard Li Hong once again took the lead. This person's use of troops is unrestrained, there is no trace, and his luck is extraordinarily good, and it is really difficult to find an opportunity to start. Bloody battles, and bloody battles.

Chu Feiyan sighed softly, withdrew his hand, and watched the snowflakes on his palms slowly melt away.

"How long will it take for the dogs' troops to arrive?" Chu Feiyan asked in a low voice.

"Back to Chu Shuai, they have withdrawn from the battlefield at the North Gate and are coming all the way in a hurry, and it is estimated that they will arrive in another half an hour." His squire replied loudly.

Chu Feiyan frowned and stared at the horse formation opposite.

"Do you know whose battle flag is on the other side?" Chu Feiyan didn't squint and asked in a low voice.

The attendant didn't know either, so he immediately asked the scout behind him.

"Chu Shuai, it is the battle flag of Youzhou Assassin Mansion Gong Cao engaged in Xian Yu Fu."

Chu Feiyan nodded, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. It was the first time he had seen a brave cavalry as an infantry. Is the cavalry of the leopard Li Hong so redundant? Was this his helplessness or ulterior motives?

It is a pity that the several sets of methods designed by myself to deal with the cavalry cannot be used. Li Hong used cavalry to attack Yang Feng's army, which had no defensive measures, but ordered Xian Yufu to lead the cavalry to block his elite infantry, all of which were strong against weak. Things on the battlefield are so unpredictable and ever-changing that no one can decide the development of the situation.

"The army is arrayed in a crab shape, supporting each other and advancing steadily."

"Order the front army to be crab heads, with heavy defensive equipment as the front team, and the strong bow battalion then responds, quickly advances, and squeezes the enemy in the middle of the battlefield."

"Order the rear army and the left wing troops, the middle army and the right wing troops to the left and right pincers respectively, and quickly advance in a straight line."

"Summoning the commanders of all the troops, keep the formation, be sure to keep the formation. As long as we join Yang Feng's troops, there is still the possibility of hitting the enemy hard. ”

"Drumming ......"

The drums of war rang out.

====================

Tian Zhong stood next to Xian Yufu and praised loudly: "Good boy, these things are against cavalry. We also made these weapons when we were training in Quang Ninh. This kid is so smart. ”

Xian Yufu looked at the Yellow Turban Army opposite, his expression was solemn, and he asked loudly, "How can the cavalry deal with them?" ”

Tian Zhong glanced at him and said with a smile: "Cavalry as infantry, just like your Yan Zhao tribe." ”

The other party's war drums suddenly sounded, and the drums were shocking. Immediately, all kinds of battle flags waved, and the Yellow Turban Army began to attack.

Xian Yufu and Tian Zhong immediately turned their horses back and quickly passed through the horse formation. The Wuqu troops, 3,000 men, had long been arrayed behind the horse formation, waiting for the order to attack. Li Han, Yan Liang, Fu Qiang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He stood at the forefront of the team.

"Drumming ......"

Xian Yufu raised the iron halberd on his horse and roared wildly.
