Chapter 551: Xu Maogong VS Zhuge Can (3)

In the distance under the city, Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong were very puzzled, they found that Suzhou City was not guarded, and it was rare to see strong bows and crossbows on the city tower, and even soldiers were very few.

What does that mean? Didn't Zhuge Can know that the imperial army was coming?

"Whether it's false or real, when I give the order to attack the city, everything will be known." Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly.

Xu Maogong shook his head and said, "No, our army has just arrived, so we should rest first." Besides, our siege equipment has not arrived, and when everything is ready, we will attack Suzhou. ”

"Unless Zhuge Can has a divine soldier descending from heaven, he will die!!" Xu Maogong said with certainty.

At this moment, he knew that Zhuge Can had 50,000 iron horsemen in his hands, and it was estimated that he would be frightened and immediately roll back to Yangzhou.

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Cao Yundui said, Zhuge Can will not exceed 60,000 soldiers, this Suzhou City is almost empty." ”

After standing under the city for a meeting, Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong left one after another.

The 50,000 Tang troops also retreated, setting up camp ten miles away.

Zhuge Can and Lu Yang were very excited, they didn't sleep all night, and the two looked at the several enemy troops outside the city, as if they had seen a beauty, and they couldn't wait to eat it in one bite.

As long as this victory is achieved, you can get Jiangnan, Huainan, and maybe even Henan.

Thinking of this, the two of them didn't know what to say.

For the whole night, the two of them ate and drank in the lobby, playing while discussing how to attack the Tang Army next, and perfecting every detail as much as possible to be foolproof.

After dawn, the two went to sleep, but before going to bed, they also did a good job in the defense of the city tower, so that people could be stationed in it.

**********

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

The southeast village, the southwest village, Suiyang City, and Suzhou City were all attacked by the Tang army at the same time!

On the tower of Suzhou City, Zhuge Can, Lu Yang, and several senior generals in the army stood together. Outside the city is the army of Cheng Yanjin and others, and they are about to start attacking the city.

Zhuge Can ordered: "Lu Yang, Wu Qing, Dong Le, the three generals will listen to the order." ”

"The end will be." The three of them stepped forward.

Zhuge Can said: "Lu Yang led 30,000 iron cavalry, Wu Qing led 20,000 iron cavalry, and Dong Le was responsible for commanding the chariot; As soon as the battle begins, the three of you will lead your troops and horses to rush out and completely defeat the Tang army outside the city! Subsequently, Lu Yang led his troops south, and at the fastest speed, eliminated the Tang army that was attacking the southeast village, southwest village, and Suiyang City, mobilized all the cavalry that could be mobilized in the village, and went with you to defend against the enemy; Wu Qing and Dong Le, after defeating Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong, led their troops to the north, camped sixty miles away, cut off the retreat of the Tang army, and intercepted the Tang army south of Yangzhou, in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

"Order!" The three of them answered at the same time.

At this moment, their hearts were like fire and cat's claws, and they wanted to rush out immediately.

The three turned and left, heading to gather the soldiers.

Time passes minute by minute...

Until half an hour later.

The Tang army had already prepared for the siege and other matters, and the 5,000 siege soldiers marched slowly and advanced towards Suzhou City.

"Strategist, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

Xu Maogong frowned tightly and said, "But I'm uneasy, I always feel that something is wrong." Our army is approaching the city, and the enemy is defenseless, and there are not many soldiers in the city to defend the city, what is going on? ”

"Isn't Zhuge Can in the city? Or, does he have a better plan to defend the city? Still is.... ”

"Oh, why think so much, when you capture Suzhou, won't you know everything?" The eldest grandson Wuji stroked the beard under his forehead and said.

"I hope so..." Xu Maogong sighed.

Knock knock...

The drums of war sounded, the rhythm became faster and faster, and the soldiers besieging the city in front began to run!

At this time, they were already very close to the castle tower!

Suddenly, on the tower of Suzhou City, the war drums also sounded, louder and louder, and at the same time, the gate of Suzhou City was opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and countless black chariots rushed out from it.

There were so many chariots that they were so fast that they crossed the drawbridge in the blink of an eye and rushed towards the five thousand siege soldiers on the battlefield.

"Kill!" Dong Le rode on a chariot, holding a long knife, and kept shouting.

5,000 chariots poured out of the city of Suzhou like a tidal wave...

Xu Maogong, Cheng Yanjin, and the eldest grandson Wuji, when the three of them saw this scene, they were all stunned, how could there be a chariot in the city?

"How can there be a chariot? Didn't they all say that they were all foot soldiers? Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

Cheng Yanjin also frowned: "Yes, the impact of the chariot is very powerful, and I don't know how much, I'm afraid our five thousand siege soldiers will be in vain." ”

"Come, quickly give the order to withdraw the troops, and withdraw the five thousand people in front."

Although he knew that it was too late to withdraw at this time, he still gave this order.

"I don't know how many battlefields there are, if it's only two or three thousand, it's okay to say, if there are five or six thousand, then our tens of thousands of people won't be swallowed?" Xu Maogong looked nervously into the distance.

While watching, he counted the number of enemy tanks.

Five hundred...

Thousand...

Two thousand...

When the number reached 2,000, the 5,000 soldiers besieging the city in front had been completely defeated and retreated, and countless people were crushed by chariots.

Cheng Yanjin slapped 10,000 soldiers forward in a row, forming five shield formations, wanting to resist the charge of the chariot.

According to the speed of the chariot's advance, with half a cup of tea, it will definitely be able to rush over.

Three thousand...

Four thousand...

Five thousand!

When Xu Maogong counted to five thousand, his face showed a look of surprise, and his expression was extremely worried, how could an ordinary shield array withstand so many chariots.

At this time, he looked under the city of Suzhou, and countless iron horses ran out.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly bit Jin towards Cheng and said: "General, hurry up and order the withdrawal of the army and withdraw to the camp!" ”

"What? Withdrawal? Wouldn't the withdrawal of troops at this time be a live target for others? ”

"That's better than being exterminated on the spot." Xu Mao said fairly: "After leaving 10,000 swords and shields to break off, the remaining 35,000 soldiers will retreat immediately!" ”

"General, don't hesitate any longer, hesitate any longer, we are really going to suffer heavy losses!"

Xu Maogong said anxiously. He pointed to Suzhou City in the distance and said: "General, there are countless iron cavalry rushing out, Zhuge Can dares not to defend the city, he must be fearless, and I don't know how many enemy soldiers there are in the city!" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Cheng Yanjin also paid no attention to it, and immediately ordered, except for leaving 10,000 shield soldiers to stabilize their positions, the rest of the people quickly evacuated.

After giving the order, he, Xu Maogong, and the eldest grandson Wuji also turned their horses' heads and ran towards the camp.

"Chong, capture Xu Maogong and Cheng Biting Jin alive, don't let them run away!!" Wu Qing also rushed out with an iron horse. He had 20,000 horsemen under his command, followed by 5,000 chariots.

After Wu Qing, it is Lu Yang, Lu Yang has more soldiers and horses in his hands, there are 30,000 iron horses, and he is the most elite unit in the Xiliang army!

In less than half an hour, 50,000 iron horsemen and 5,000 chariots all ran out, and the gate of Suzhou City was closed.

On the city tower, Zhuge Can carefully observed the battle below, and saw that Xu Maogong and the others were about to escape, he was not worried at all, there were tens of thousands of iron horsemen chasing after him, where could he escape, could two legs run faster than four legs? 8)
