"Withdraw~! Evacuate quickly. ”

Man Zhan grabbed the war horse, watched the boulders fall from the sky, and was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged. Catapults can even smash the city walls, and manpower simply cannot resist. No wonder the scout battalion lost troops in the past two days will not get news from here, it turns out that they are secretly transporting catapults to the jungle.

Round after round of throwing, the soldiers of the forward battalion of the Manchurian War turned on their backs, and the Manchurian War also rolled off their horses in order to avoid the stone bullets. Fortunately, the catapult is not an arrow array, and the density is not enough, otherwise this round of Dashi Xiyue will lose another general.

Lu Mu, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that the Manchurian army had been ambushed, and immediately shouted, "Quick, order the troops to be withdrawn." ”

The herald sounded the horn of retreat, and the men and horses of the forward battalion received the order and turned their horses to retreat backwards. Man Zhan also jumped on an ownerless war horse and quickly broke away from the catapult's throwing distance.

Seeing this scene, Mingyue raised the order flag again, "Order Zhou Hu to lead the chariot battalion to attack and cut off the road to the return of the Manchurian soldiers and horses." ”

At the sound of an order, the chariot rushed out of the way of the shield array. The chariot is equipped with a driver, two pikemen, and an archer. Under the leadership of Zhou Hu, it was directly inserted into the passage between the Manchurian forward battalion and the coalition army.

Zhang Qifeng's side. The catapult stopped firing, and Zhang Qifeng waved his spear and led his soldiers and horses to fight back.

Lu Mu's face changed slightly, he knew that the best way to deal with the chariot battalion in the field was to shoot with the firearms battalion. But the people did not rush to his large formation, and the firearms battalion could not catch up with the other people's chariots on their legs. In this case, it is customary to use the vehicle against the vehicle. How could Lu Mu not even have a chariot under his command, so he could only watch Zhou Hu cross the middle of the road.

Lu Mu couldn't let the Manchurian army be surrounded and killed like this, so he could only grit his teeth and order, "Order Wang Fujian to lead the firearms battalion to respond." ”

Among the generals behind him, Wang Fujian, the general of Nanping, couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said, "Lord Dudu, even if the last general attacks with a firearms battalion, I'm afraid that the army will fall into a melee after running away." When the time comes, how should the last general give the order? ”

Lu Mu turned his head and glared angrily, "The governor of Pontus asked you to go to deter them from evacuating the chariot battalion, why, you dare to disobey!" ”

Wang Fujian was frightened, don't look at him as a Nanping general, but this is wartime, Lu Muzhen dared to use military law to kill him.

"The last will be ordered!"

Wang Fujian didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly returned to the formation to lead the firearms battalion and rushed out of the battle formation.

On the handsome car opposite Lu Mu, Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but sneer, "I actually made this decision, today's tens of thousands of horses, this army division is decided." Chen Zhanxuan was ordered to lead the heavy armored cavalry to kill the enemy's firearms battalion. ”

Chen Zhanxuan held the war gun in his hand and clenched his fists, "The last general will be ordered!" ”

In less than ten breaths, the heavily armored horsemen, armed to the teeth, rushed out of the battle formation. On the other side, Lu Mu immediately ordered Fang Sicheng to lead the heavy armored cavalry to hedge. Otherwise, the firearms battalion will face the heavy armored cavalry, and it will be a one-sided massacre at all. The heavy armored cavalry on both sides was 20,000 troops, and they quickly collided together, blocking Chen Zhanxuan's way to kill the firearms battalion.

At this moment, the entire battlefield is already a large-scale operation. Light cavalry, firearms battalions, chariots, and heavy cavalry were sent out. But the firearms battalion was left far behind by the tank battalion on its legs. The hapless Manchu War Station was smashed by catapults and lost thousands of men and horses, and the cavalry battle array was helpless in the face of the chariot charge. Before their spears could stab at the opponent's driver, the crossbowmen in their carts fired an arrow. What's more, Zhang Qifeng behind him also came up.

Man Zhan gritted his teeth, "Quick, give the order to detour westward." ”

The Manchu War understands that if he continues to be entangled, even if he is not completely annihilated, there will be very little left. Even if you insist on running to the firearms battalion to support, I'm afraid it won't help. As Wang Fujian said, the army is mixed up, and it is impossible to shoot even its own people. What's more, the archers in the firearms battalion were all drawn from cavalry, and the accuracy and firing range could not be compared with the original longbow battalion. In desperation, he could only break away from the main battlefield, and he could not be wiped out.

Zhang Qifeng saw that the opponent's cavalry formation was already chaotic, and ordered to use the piercing tactic to rush and kill it, and forcibly cut the soldiers and horses of the full battle into two sections. Zhou Hu drove a chariot and rushed directly to Manzhan, so frightened that Manzhan did not dare to return to defense, so he could only run west with the remnants. The rest of his soldiers and horses were besieged and killed by Zhang Qifeng's headquarters and the chariot battalion.

Wang Fujian rode a war horse and kept urging the firearms battalion, "Hurry, run faster." ”

Wang Fujian was also anxious, although the firearms battalion was a sharp weapon against the chariot battalion, but the prerequisite was to set up a formation on the spot, and there must be a defense against horses. Otherwise, even if the opponent's chariot is ignited by rockets, and people rush to kill at the risk of death, the firearms battalion can only be crushed. However, Wang Fujian also understood that Lu Mu lacked the means to deal with the chariot array, and it was helpless to send them out.

Zhou Hu was frightened into battle, and the chariot battalion began to charge and kill the intercepted soldiers and horses. The Western Vietnamese Coalition Army continued to scream, and under the attack of both sides, they had no power to fight back. Just as Zhang Qifeng's cavalry was about to be dealt with here, the pikemen on the chariot would stab at him with a single shot. Otherwise, he was killed by the crossbowmen on the chariot with a cold arrow.

Lu Mu's face was pale, and in his eyes, Wang Fujian's firearms battalion was running as slowly as a turtle. For the soldiers and horses that were intercepted, Lu Mu was no longer able to rescue, and at that moment Lu Mu was ruthless in his heart, since the forward battalion was disabled, he simply hunted and killed Duan Lang's heavy armored cavalry.

"Huo Hai listened to the order, quickly led the men and horses of the headquarters, supported Fang Sicheng's department, and besieged Duan Lang's heavy armored cavalry." Lu Mu said fiercely.

Duan Lang saw another pacesetter rushing out of the opponent's battle array, looked sideways at Lantai Mingyue and asked, "Yue'er, let me come." ”

"No, since I am in command, the commander must also obey the orders of his own army. Summoned the order for Chen Zhanxuan to retreat. The Gouya battalion is prepared to prevent the enemy's heavy armored cavalry from storming the battle formation. ”

Tantai Mingyue has received good results, of course, he is not willing to start a global shopping effort. As long as you continue to consume the opponent's troops, you can control the dominant power on the battlefield after a few battles. Now they are working hard to make every effort, and it is still not good for their side of the capital city.

Chen Zhanxuan led the heavy armored cavalry to retreat into the camp, and Fang Sicheng saw the hook and sickle in front of Duan Lang's battle array, so he could only helplessly stop the pursuit. On Zhou Hu's side, seeing that the firearms battalion was pressing up, he immediately ordered the chariot battalion to withdraw in the direction of the jungle. The remaining remnants of the battlefield were handed over to Zhang Qifeng. The cavalry had an advantage in speed, and the firearms battalion could not do anything about them.

Wang Fujian's firearms battalion, tired and out of breath, finally ran to the place, and the people's chariots actually quickly withdrew. On the battlefield, the forward battalion of the coalition forces became less and less numerous, and the firearms battalion could only shoot in battle formations, which greatly restricted their lethality. Wang Fujian looked at the battle situation and scolded angrily, and he didn't know whether he was scolding Zhou Hu or Lu Mu. They were as tired as dogs, and they simply ran for nothing.

Lu Mu clenched his fists, the scale of the troops used in this battle was not small, and the total number of troops invested by both sides far exceeded more than 100,000 people. But judging from the current results, it is simply a piece of meat that has been torn off by the family. Lu Mu's forward battalion suffered heavy losses, while the losses of Duan Lang's side, according to the proportion of damage in the battle, could almost be ignored.

The battlefield gradually calmed down, except for the neighing of the wounded horses and the screams of the seriously wounded, there was no more shouting of killing. Zhang Qifeng and Zhou Hu's troops both withdrew to the jungle area, and they were escorted by catapults behind them, and Wang Fujian's firearms battalion did not dare to catch up.

In the space on the battlefield, only Fang Sicheng's heavy armored cavalry and Huohai cavalry battalion remained. Duan Lang's side, those who returned to the camp returned to the camp, or they withdrew to the edge of the jungle.

Lu Mu was furious, ordered someone to go and ask questions, and rushed to the front of Duan Lang's battle array on a war horse.

"My lord asks you why you are as cowardly as a rat and do not fight." The guards of the West Vietnam shouted loudly.

Duan Lang laughed heartily, "Go back and tell Lu Mu that today's meal is good, if he wants to fight, just let the horse come." ”

The guards didn't dare to say more, so they hurried back to pass the word. When Lu Mu heard this, his angry lips trembled. Duan Lang's side resisted the horse shield array neatly, and if he ordered to rush and kill, the attacking side would suffer a lot of losses. What's more, Zhang Qifeng and Zhou Hu's chariot battalion is eyeing the tiger and can rush over to rescue at any time. Duan Lang's style is to make it clear that I am full today, if you are not afraid of heavy losses, you can attack. Lu Mu couldn't help but draw out the arrow, but reason told him that he couldn't do this. Even if he risked losses to attack the opponent's big formation, the final result was nothing more than forcing Duan Lang to retreat backwards. Lu Mu believed that Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue would definitely set up defenses in the area of Xiangjun. Even if it is chased and killed, it is just to chase it to Xiangxiang County. But Lu Mu couldn't afford the loss of the overall battle situation.

Don't look at Lu Mu as the commander of this battle, after all, it is the result of consultation with Mo Kun, otherwise he would not have sent his own men and horses in the first battle. If you really order a strong attack, you can only let the Nanping soldiers be the main ones. In that case, I'm afraid Zhao Pingdu and Ying Shoushan won't agree.

Lu Mu looked back at the generals and said helplessly, "Order, the army will evacuate." ”

Watching Lu Mu's army slowly withdraw, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted in Duan Lang's array. This kind of cheering and howling is one is exciting, and the other is the demonstration and ridicule of Lu Mu's side. Tangtai Mingyue was very satisfied with today's results, and ordered Lu Zhengshan to take people and Zhou Hu's subordinates to bring the catapult back to Xiangxiang County. With this kind of ambush, Tantai Mingyue believes that Lu Mu will not be fooled a second time.

The soldiers and horses of the two armies evacuated each other, and on the battlefield, each side sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to clean up the mess. On the side of the West Vietnamese Coalition Army, they could only take away the wounded soldiers and corpses that had not yet died. The weapons and ownerless war horses left behind were the trophies of the army of the capital city. This is the rule of the battlefield, the side with fewer casualties collects the spoils.

The Manchurian detour converged with Lu Mu's army, and Lu Mu returned to Melan City with the generals of the coalition army. Mo Kun didn't blame anything, and the casualties in this battle were bearable. After all, most of the losses were West Vietnamese soldiers and horses, and Lu Mu could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

In the entire city of Molan, morale is low, but in the camp of Xiangjun, it is like a festival to raise a glass to celebrate.

Compared with the excited and cheering guards in the tent, Duan Lang and the others in the tent seemed very calm. even said that Tantai Mingyue still had a trace of anger. Because Duan Lang actually wanted to take a few men and horses to sneak into Molan City that night when Lu Mu's army was defeated, and give them another blow.

"Lang, I don't agree with your proposal. Rather than taking such a risk, it is better to fight one battle after another like this. After a few times, the gap in strength can be leveled. What's more, you can only do some harassing behavior when you touch the city, and it doesn't matter the overall situation. In case of an ambush, no one can afford this loss. ”

After Tantai Mingyue finished speaking, she looked at Han Feng and Zhang Ruming, which meant that they should also express their opinions. It's just that the two of them lowered their heads one by one, and they didn't look at the bright moon at all.

Duan Lang persuaded softly, "Yue'er, don't look at them. In fact, there is no risk, Melan City is not as good as Kyoto, and the city walls here can't stop a few of us. Even if it doesn't work, it won't be a problem for me and Xiang Tian to withdraw from them. ”

Han Feng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Yue'er, I also agree with Duan Lang's proposal. You should understand that once Mo Kun and Lu Mu lose repeatedly, they will change their tactics and even shrink in the city waiting for new reinforcements. When the war reached this point, Xiyue and Nanping had no way to retreat, so they could only use the strength of the whole country to fight for the final victory. Only by burning their grain and grass can they really mess up Mokun Lu Mu's position. I'm familiar with the fortifications in the city, so it doesn't matter if I can't get out of the city for the time being. There is a secret room in the original Tingfeng Pavilion in the city, and it is very safe to hide in it. ”

"Master, why do you say that? As a manager, you don't understand the importance of being in danger. Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but complain.

Ah Zhu quietly touched Zhang Ruming and gave him a hint. Zhang Ruming looked at it, got up and said, "I don't agree." ”

Ah Zhu was stunned for a moment and stepped on it fiercely. Zhang Ruming came to his senses and quickly changed his words, "No~ I mean~ agree with Duan Lang's proposal." ”

Tantai Mingyue just wanted to praise it, but suddenly saw Zhang Ruming change his words, and immediately said angrily, "Brother Zhang, do you agree or oppose." ”

"I~, agreed." Zhang Ruming secretly looked at Ah Zhu and said cautiously.

"You~ Duan Lang is crazy, why are you all going crazy. Azhu, you don't care about him. Yutai Mingyue said angrily.

Ah Zhu pouted, "Yue'er, we women, we should obey our husband's arrangement." ”

When Zhang Ruming heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest proudly, and looked at Mingyue with a look of being in charge.

"Okay, since even our Heavenly Master agrees, then it's decided. The time of the child was dispatched, and the time of ugliness entered the city of Melan. Yue'er, you don't have to stop it, I promise you that nothing will happen. Duan Lang stood up and made a final decision.

Tantai Mingyue glanced at Duan Lang resentfully, if it was someone else, of course Tantai Mingyue would agree. But she felt that Duan Lang shouldn't take the risk, and the current Duan Lang was not the hairy boy who took 30,000 people across the desert to work hard. Duan Lang is not only the backbone of the army of the capital city, but also bears the trust of all the people in the world.

However, since Duan Lang decided, Tangtai Mingyue could only reluctantly agree. However, he warned Duan Lang to withdraw as soon as he encountered danger. Even if you don't succeed, don't force yourself to achieve the goal of the trip. After the agreement, in addition to Xiang Tiangu Fan and the other eighteen personal guards to follow, Han Feng also joined the camp.

That night, Duan Lang did not alarm the others, and quietly left the camp with Han Feng and the eighteen guards. Lantai Mingyue watched Duan Lang leave, and she was a little uneasy in her heart. Just as Tangtai Mingyue was about to return to his camp, he saw Zhang Ruming running over in a panic.

"It's over~ It's over, Azhu also followed."

Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but be stunned, only then did she understand the small movements between Azhu and Zhang Ruming, it turned out that she was planning to follow at all. However, with Azhu's light skills and ability, he can really help Duan Lang.

Seeing Zhang Ruming's hurried appearance, Tantai Mingyue snorted, "You deserve it, who told you not to stop Duan Lang." If they don't return after dawn, our division will blame you first. ”

Tantai Mingyue glared, leaving Zhang Ruming with a confused face, and walked away.
