Li Yanzhao listened solemnly as the envoy sent by Han Ning conveyed the order from him, but his brows furrowed more and more.

However, listening to the faint shouts of killing on the camp wall on the north side, Li Yanzhao also knew in his heart that the camp wall on the north side would not be able to support it for long, and if he didn't go to help, the collapse would only be in an instant.

Cao Jian went out to ride the sentry and has not yet returned. Li Yanzhao was also unable to confirm the enemy's troop deployment. The current hostility, like this rainy night, made him feel extremely confused and confused. If the enemy still has reinforcements in the rear, then the large battalion here will be defeated.

Li Yanzhao looked at the Lingju County soldiers who were on guard all the way on the southeast side of the camp wall, and couldn't help sighing, and then said helplessly to the herald sent by Han Ning: "My department will go to help immediately, please protect Han Du's heart." When the herald heard Li Yanzhao say this, he bowed down and clenched his fists, and turned back towards the vicinity of the Chinese army's tent.

The four or five hundred soldiers under Li Yanzhao's command at this time were the infantry soldiers of the Guangwu Army who had fought with the enemy for several days in Jincheng County a few days ago. Because the battalion owner Zhao Chengzhi had been seriously injured and evacuated, and the battalion commander and other grassroots generals had suffered heavy casualties, the command system was unfavorable, so he had to be sent back to the north bank camp by Zhang Lang.

Li Yanzhao, who acted as the Sima of the Guangwu Army, saw that this infantry had suffered a large number of casualties among the grassroots generals, and the command system had been disordered. As a last resort, twenty or thirty cavalrymen who had been promoted from the infantry battalion could only be transferred from the cavalry battalion, and they would act as the commanders and commanders of the infantry battalion and other grass-roots generals. These people themselves came out of the infantry battalion, and they are all familiar with the veterans in the battalion, and their martial arts are excellent, so this arrangement did not cause dissatisfaction and backlash among the veterans in the infantry battalion.

Although twenty or thirty cavalrymen were transferred to serve as the grassroots generals of this team, the shortage of grassroots generals in the infantry battalion was still serious. As a last resort, Li Yanzhao could only promote some soldiers from the infantry battalion who had beheaded military merits in Jincheng County to fill the vacancy of the battalion lieutenant generals.

These Guangwu soldiers who have been fighting bloody battles in Jincheng County for many days have long lost the tension and excitement of their first arrival on the battlefield in their eyes at this time, and in the eyes of most people, they are indifferent from life and death. It was only occasionally that they looked back, and they could smell a faint murderous aura from the convergent edge in their eyes. 、

The cavalry under Li Yanzhao were all dispatched, and the brigade, led by Liu Jiwu and Song Qing, went upstream to protect the two pontoon bridges, and acted as the eyeliner of Jincheng County, and scouted on the south bank. The rest of the small group of cavalry, led by several teams, carried out the reconnaissance mission on the north bank.

It was also that the number of his own cavalry who stayed on the north bank was too small, so he did not notice that this group of more than 1,000 Hun cavalry crossed the river and lurked. Otherwise, the North Shore camp would have been well prepared and not as embarrassed as it is now.

"Yang Biao! You lead two hundred-strong troops to defend this place, and if the battle on the east and south camp walls is unfavorable, you will immediately lead your troops to support! Li Yanzhao called a general beside him and admonished.

"The last general commands." Yang Biao clenched his fists and bowed.

"Wang He, Zheng Zhong, Tang Baoguo. The three of you will lead your troops and follow me to support the camp wall on the north side! With Li Yanzhao's order, the three hundred leaders responded to the order, and then each gathered his troops, and soon stood in a row in front of Li Yanzhao.

"Let's go!" Li Yanzhao waved his hand and ran towards the camp wall on the north side first. By Li Yanzhao's side, Niu Erzhuang took several cavalry soldiers to closely support the left and right.

Originally, Niu Erzhuang was supposed to follow the rest of the cavalry to go out to reconnoitre, but Qin Dayong, the chief of the division, assigned him several cavalry and strictly ordered him to stay in the camp to protect Li Sima and ensure Li Yanzhao's safety.

Li Yanzhao personally was extremely uninterested in this kind of special encounter. However, Qin Dayong had already led his troops to set off, so he had to order Niu Erzhuang to accompany him. In fact, most of them played the role of a herald and errand runner. However, at this time, these several temporarily assigned guards followed Li Yanzhao's side closely, and rushed towards the unfavorable situation and unknown bitter battle on the north side of the camp wall.

Seeing that Dai Sima Du had taken the lead and rushed towards the camp wall on the north side, the infantry of the Guangwu Army led by the three hundred commanders was not to be outdone. When this Dai Sima was still serving as the commander of a hundred cavalry soldiers, his reputation for being a soldier and being the first in every battle had already spread in the battalion, so he was no stranger to these infantry battalion soldiers. At this time, seeing that although this official had reached the Dai Sima, but as always, he took the lead in the charge, and the soldiers were all excited, and the orphans, under the orders of their own hundred commanders, also followed closely behind, and rushed to the north side of the camp wall together.

At this time, the sky was already twilight, and Han Ning saw Li Yanzhao divide his troops, and then he personally led his troops to rush towards the north side of the camp wall, and he also felt a little relieved in his heart. When Li Yanzhao's troops rushed past him and headed straight to the north side, he stood on tiptoe and shouted to the team in the distance: "Li Sima! Be careful, after this battle is over, I will stay here with you and drink and talk! ”

Li Yanzhao heard Han Ning's shout, but he didn't look back, just led his many subordinates, and rushed to the north side of the camp wall.

In the battle on the camp wall, the Hun cavalry who climbed the camp wall had almost achieved an overwhelming advantage. The Liangzhou soldiers on the camp wall were divided into several sections, and they fought to the death with the Hun cavalry on the side in the encirclement, trying to maintain their last dignity.

When the earth-shattering shouts of the subordinates led by Li Yanzhao sounded inside the camp wall, these Liangzhou soldiers on the camp wall were also encouraged. The chiefs shouted, "Reinforcements are coming!" While wielding his sword vigorously, he fought with the Hun cavalry beside him, and commanded the soldiers next to him to maintain a tight formation, they formed a small but extremely effective circle formation to resist the attack of the Hun cavalry from all sides, so that although these Hun cavalry surrounded by them had the advantage, they could not swallow them in one bite, so they had to slowly consume their morale and physical strength in the fierce and continuous battle, and ate away at these soldiers in one mouth, trying to completely destroy their will to resist through this attrition.

At this time, those guarding the camp wall on the north side were all the elite of the Liangzhou army led by Han Ning. Although they are still far behind the Huns in terms of individual combat ability, they have already had a tacit understanding of cooperative combat with each other under strict training. At this time, they were divided into small circles, with sword players with shields on the outside and pikemen with spears on the inside. Whenever a black shadow approached their circle, and the distance was still far away, several spears were pierced. If you dodge the spear, the ring knife in the hand of the knife player in the outer circle will fall mercilessly. For a while, the attacks of these Hun cavalry were blocked and sluggish, and there was no better way to break through these seemingly fragile defenses for a while.

The walls of the camp were already piled up with the corpses of soldiers killed on both sides, and blood slowly dripped into the sandbags in the middle of the two layers of camp walls along the gaps in the wooden planks laid above the camp walls for people to stand on. The shouts of killing and the shouts of nonsense on the camp wall were endless, occasionally mixed with a few faint sounds of knives and guns entering the flesh, and the wails of people dying and struggling. The atmosphere above the camp wall is rendered like a ghost.

The Hun centurion, who led his subordinates to climb the wall and fight hard, saw the stalemate battle here, and couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, and heard the shouting and killing sound that was getting closer and closer in the camp, and he couldn't care about much, so he discarded the long knife in his hand with his right hand, and stretched it out to the side, and his subordinates had presented a short-handled broadsword with a very thick back.

The Hun centurion took the big knife, and then shook it in his hand, and then slapped a false finger forward, and the cavalry beside him rushed to a Liangzhou army shield array in front of him, and the Hun general followed, the short-handled broadsword in his hand had drawn a strange arc in the air, and then stepped forward, the big knife was already with the sound of the wind, and slashed straight down to the shield array.

The spear that was hurriedly stabbed out from behind the shield array was dodged by the centurion's nimble pace. The big sword slashed straight towards the gap in the shield array in front of him. Seeing this, the sword player on the edge of the shield array hurriedly opened the shield, and then the ring head knife in his right hand also stabbed out to the Hun centurion outside.

With a crisp sound, the two knives intersected, and the ring head knife in the hands of the Liangzhou soldiers was cut into two under the powerful and heavy slash of the Hun centurion. The Liangzhou soldier whose knife was cut off saw the half-cut blade in his hand, and when he was at a loss, the heavy short-handled broadsword had been chopped down again! He was killed on the spot, and when he fell to the plank, half of his face was still staring at the robes beside him.

Seeing that the other centurion was so brave, in this small circle array, the soldiers were all stunned in place, and before they could react, they were killed by this centurion. The Hun cavalry behind the centurion roared and rushed to the camp wall, and the small circle immediately collapsed, and the soldiers resisted in vain, but they were killed one after another on the camp wall.

At this time, the shouts of reinforcements in the camp were already rushing to the front, and with the sound of the wooden planks of the stairs in the camp, a loud voice had already come: "Guangwu Army on behalf of Sima Li Yanzhao, lead the troops to help!" Please ask the robes to hold on for a while, and Li chopped up these Hun mongrels one by one to avenge the dead robes! ”

This loud shout seemed to be a reassuring pill, and instantly gave hope to these soldiers who were still fighting the camp wall. They then fought in unison, and were able to stop the increasingly ferocious attack of the Hun cavalry. [.]
