The armor of the war horse plus the armor of the cavalry, as well as the weight of the cavalry, the war horse of the heavy cavalry needs to carry more than 300 catties of weight when fighting, and then run desperately with all his might.

This led to the fact that the time for the heavy cavalry to charge should not be too long, generally around the time of a bowl of tea. If the run is too long or too fast, it is easy to tire the horse to death.

Therefore, the cavalry of the heavy cavalry usually does not ride war horses, but uses carriages to carry heavy armor, and only wears armor when they go to the battlefield. Only before the battle will you get on your horse and drive the horse to charge.

Hu Yanzhuo led the iron cavalry to break down the Song army's defensive line, and after chasing Tong Guan for a while, the speed of the war horse slowly slowed down.

Hu Yanzhuo, who has been commanding the heavy cavalry all year round, knows that he can't continue to pursue, otherwise the heavy cavalry will have no impact, which is worse than ordinary soldiers.

Once someone stabs off the horse, the heavy armor will make it difficult for the cavalry to even move, and they can only be hacked to death by the enemy.

With a shout, the Iron Cavalry slowed down, began to turn their horses' heads, and ran back.

When Hu Yanzhuo led the heavy cavalry to rush across the Song army's defense line and plunge the Song army into chaos, Lin Chong immediately ordered the drums of war to be beaten.

Under the leadership of Lin Chong, the Liangshan army opened the city gate and rushed out.

By the time the city was attacked, the Song army had already disorganized its formation. The sudden arrival of the Liangshan Iron Cavalry made the Song army even more chaotic. When Tong Guan fled, the Song army was scurrying around like headless flies, in a mess.

Now that the Liangshan army came out of the city, the Song army immediately collapsed, and they all tried their best to escape desperately.

Under the leadership of Lin Chong, the Liangshan army rushed to kill three or four miles, and then hurriedly returned.

It's not that Lin Chong doesn't want to continue to expand the results.

The infantry of the Liangshan army defended the city for days and fought fiercely, and they were very tired, where did they still have the physical strength to chase and kill the enemy for more than ten or twenty miles.

Taking advantage of the defeat of the Song army, it is the best policy to quickly burn the siege equipment of the Song army.

Without the assistance of siege equipment, the Song army would not even be able to climb the city wall.

When the Song army rebuilt the siege equipment, the Liangshan army took advantage of this time to rest and fill the gap in the city wall.

What's more, as long as he holds on for a few more days, Lin Chong believes that his eldest brother Shi Jin will definitely send troops to support him.

Back in Juye, the Liangshan army moved the captured horses, equipment, money and food back to Juye City, and destroyed those that could not be moved. In particular, the catapults and building carts burned them into charcoal.

Destroying the siege equipment of the Song army, Hu Yanzhuo also led the iron cavalry to retreat. Under the escort of the Liangshan army, they retreated to the city together.

Tong Guan was frightened by Hu Yanzhuo's fierce and desperate posture, and fled for more than ten miles, and only then stopped running away when he heard the Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng shouting loudly behind him.

Stopping the horse, Tong Guanda turned his head to see Bi Sheng, and shouted loudly: "The enemy has not continued to chase?" ”

Bi Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, Lord Minister, those thieves have already gone back to the guard!" ”

Tong Guan heard it and shouted: "That's good, that's good!" ”

After resting for a while, Tong Guan calmed down a little, and saw that there were less than six thousand people following him.

These Song soldiers were already very tired from attacking the city for days, but now they have been running for almost ten miles. This stopped, and they lay on the ground, gasping for air.

Tong Guan saw the appearance of his subordinates, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What kind of system, call everyone up." There is also the handsome flag of the true appearance erected and the soldiers and horses are gathered. ”

Bi Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Get the order!" ”

……

In the marshal tent of the military camp, Tong Guan's face turned dark.

I thought that I was a dignified minister, and I was chased by a gang of thieves and fled like a dog.

Tong Guan glared at Bi Sheng and Liu Yanqing angrily, and scolded wildly: "There are 50,000 troops, and there are a large number of siege equipment manufactured for you to use, but you can't even take a giant city. Defeated by this gang of Liangshan thieves three times and twice, this is called how to meet the official family with the face of the prime minister......"

Losing to the Liangshan thieves one after another, Tong Guan was very angry today, and he scolded for almost a pillar of incense, and broke a few teacups before he stopped his mouth.

After taking a few sips of the tea handed by his own soldiers, Tong Guan looked at his subordinates and shouted, "How many soldiers do we have available now?" ”

Bi Sheng hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Lord Hui, nearly 30,000 people have been gathered one after another!" ”

Nearly 30,000!

Tong Guan frowned when he heard this, the siege of the city has not been smooth in the past few days, and he has lost nearly 20,000 people, what can he do?

Tong Guan inspected his subordinates and shouted, "Tell me, this thief stubbornly resists, how can our army take Juye?" ”

Liu Yanqing hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Don't worry, Lord Minister, the thieves in Liangshan just caught us off guard, and they will fall short in the end." Now that the city wall has been collapsed by our army, as long as we gather the defeated troops and attack again, we will definitely be able to conquer Juye City. At the end of tomorrow, I will take the lead, and I will definitely take Juye City! ”

Xin Xingzong shook his head and shouted: "Not to mention that we have lost a lot of soldiers and horses in the past few days, this time we were caught off guard by Liangshan, and the siege equipment left outside the city is only afraid that it has been destroyed by the Liangshan bandits, and the people who have been captured are afraid that they will also escape completely." Without siege equipment and without the assistance of the people, what will General Liu take to attack the city! ”

"This ......" Liu Yanqing hesitated for a moment and shouted: "The equipment can be remanufactured, and the people have it, so if they send someone to arrest it, they will have it." As long as you delay it for four or five days, you will definitely be able to build it! ”

Xin Xingzong said: "Now our army has no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and we can't capture Juye City in a few days, so our morale is low. On the other hand, the Liangshan thief Kou Gang won a big victory, and his morale was high. The most important thing is that now that the Liangshan bandits have been captured, they can send troops to reinforce Juye City at any time. In case when our army attacks Juye City, these bandits suddenly come out, and then the thieves in Juye City also come out, and the belly and back are under the enemy, our army is in danger! ”

Xin Xingzong turned his head and shouted to Tong Guan: "Lord Prime Minister, just like what Su Taiwei said before. Once our army is defeated, there will be no more soldiers and horses to restrain the thieves on this Jingdong Road. At that time, Jingdong Road will no longer be owned by the Great Song Dynasty! The last general implored the Prime Minister to consider the overall situation, temporarily withdraw his troops, retreat to Razor, and at the same time ask the Holy Lord to increase his troops to crusade against these thieves again! ”

Tong Guan heard Xin Xingzong's dissuasion and fell into deep thought.

What Xin Xingzong said also has some truth, he hasn't taken Juye City for four or five days. If you wait for the siege equipment to be manufactured, you will waste three or four days, and I am afraid that by then, the thieves will all return to the army to help Juye City. At some point, it will be even more difficult to conquer Giant Wild City!

However, he still has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the number of thieves in the city will not exceed 5,000 at most, even if the bandits send troops to support Juye, I am afraid that they will not be able to send 10,000 at most.

In terms of soldiers and horses alone, they still have the advantage. And it was a matter of time before the city wall collapsed, so I gave up. Unwilling!

Just as Tong Guan was hesitating, a messenger hurriedly walked into the camp and shouted, "My lord, there is an urgent battle report!" ”

When Tong Guan heard this, he hurriedly asked Bi Sheng to bring the battle report.

Tong Guan took the battle report from Bi Sheng's hand, quickly opened it, and after a quick glance, he sighed and shouted: "Collect the troops and go back to Lei Ze!" ”

Hearing that Tong Guan was going to say that he was going to withdraw the troops, when Liu Yanqing just wanted to persuade him, Tong Guan handed the battle report to Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing took a look, and saw that the battle report read: Yang Zhi of Erlong Mountain led 10,000 thieves to Juye City, and he could arrive within a day! ()
