In addition to the main force in the west of the city, the enemy army in the north of the city also launched an attack at the same time, sending a thousand troops to try to enter the city to contain the defenders in the north of the city and prevent them from reinforcing the main battlefield.

The people at the head of the city could not stop such an all-out attack at all, and were soon rushed to the city by the enemy, and Redmond, who was sitting in command in the rear, saw this scene with a smug smile on his face.

However, his smile quickly froze, and a new force that appeared out of nowhere suddenly appeared at the head of the city and strangled with the troops who had ascended the city!

The time Pan Xiaogu had been waiting for had appeared!

"Quick, blow the trumpet and assemble!"

The trumpeter took out a horn made of buffalo horn and puffed out his cheeks and blew it vigorously.

Woo~

The low, long sound of a horn swept across the snowfield, and soon a second, a third... More and more horns sounded in the silent snowfield, as if the whole snowfield was waking up.

It was really 'waking up', and when he heard the sound of a horn behind him, Redmond, who looked suspicious, found that the snow field behind him seemed to have suddenly 'come to life'!

The originally flat earth suddenly began to squirm, kicking away the snow blanket covering his body, revealing a wide mouth, and the enemy was crawling out of the big mouth in a steady stream!

After formulating the tactics of squatting pits, considering the convenience of sorties, the big pits were dug into an inclined plane towards the side of the battlefield. After the horn sounded, the soldiers in the pit lifted the 'roof' on their heads, quickly left the pit, and assembled on the ground... Or it would be more appropriate to use the word "can't wait".

The big pits are dug together in several groups, and a group of pits is a battle cluster, and the people in the pit can quickly form a formation after coming out, and then under the leadership of the officer, they will advance along the passage left in advance, and in the process of advancing, they will meet other battle groups to form a larger group, and when the ambush troops come to a distance of about a mile from the battlefield, they have formed a complete line behind the enemy's flank, and quickly advance forward!

The enemy who was besieging the city was completely panicked, and their main force was still entangled with the defenders on the city wall, but they didn't expect the enemy to come out of the ground and attack from behind!

If Pan Xiaogu encountered this situation himself, he would definitely scold

"Made, cheat!"

"Blow the trumpet!" After shortening the distance to one mile, Pan Xiaogu immediately gave another order to the commander beside him.

Woo woo woo~

The deep sound of the horn sounded again, only this time the rhythm of the trumpet changed to two short and one long—this meant that the whole army was charged.

In fact, the horn is not very suitable as a military horn, it is simple to make, and the large volume and spread are far from the advantages of the horn, but this thing wants to blow too hard, and it is even more difficult to blow different rhythms, plus the horn has a wide range of sound, so that this kind of horn is only suitable for conveying limited instructions, Pan Xiaogu wants the copper horn used in later generations, but unfortunately he can't make musical instruments, and he doesn't know much about dividing the rhythm, so he can only let the craftsmen in the territory slowly explore.

"Kill!"

After the trumpet sounded, the officers and men of the Five Rivers Army, who had been holding their breath in the pit for two days and three nights, let out an earth-shattering shout of killing and accelerated towards the enemy.

But why does this shouting sound like it's full of resentment?

The main offensive line of the Five Rivers Army is divided into three lines: left, center, and right, the left flank is facing the enemy in the north of the city, the distance is the closest, the middle road goes straight to the flank of the enemy's main force in the west of the city, and the right flank is the farthest from the main battlefield, but most of the cavalry in this ambush is assigned to this road, and their task is to cut off the enemy's retreat to the west, and to bypass and outflank the enemy's main force.

The sudden appearance of the Five Rivers Army behind the city made the enemy formation of the siege of the city chaotic, especially the main force of the commander of Rykmund in the west of the city, most of the troops were invested in the siege, and more than 1,000 people had already climbed to the top of the city, and the defenders were killed, and they couldn't retreat.

The more than 2,000 people under the city were in a daze when the ambush appeared, because the Chinese army was slow to give orders, and these people did not know whether to continue the attack and reinforce the friendly forces on the city walls, or to retreat immediately.

The feint troops in the north of the city also have their own troubles, most of these people are the armed forces of the business alliance, they were originally the guards of the various chambers of commerce, although a nominal commander was elected after the union, but each family still retains control of their own forces, and when the battle is smooth, they can also cooperate to fight, once the battle situation falls into disadvantage, these people immediately fall into chaos, no one is willing to obey the commander's orders, they all want to keep their strength from loss, and it is fortunate that they did not collapse immediately.

As for the Chinese army's Reykmond, since the ambush appeared, Redmond has been silent, staring at the Five Rivers Army that is getting closer and closer.

"General, what shall we do?" A Norman knight asked uneasily when he saw that the Five Rivers had begun to charge.

Redmond stared at the approaching Five Rivers Army with a gloomy face, and now even if he was stupid, he knew that he had been tricked.

"Withdraw!" Luckmond breathed a word out of his mouth in a cold tone, the number of enemies in front of him far exceeded his own, the defeat was certain, there was no need to put himself on the hook again.

The others didn't squeak, only the knight who had just asked again in a blank tone

"Withdraw Canaland?"

Lacking bothering to answer, Rekmund turned his horse's head and left, while the others rode after him, and as they passed the knight, they glanced at him with the gaze of an idiot—didn't they see that the enemy was the first to cut off the road to Canaland?

The cavalry was useless during the siege, so they all stayed behind, and when they saw that the commander had taken the lead in fleeing, they immediately scattered and fled.

Most of the cavalry chose to follow behind Rekmund, plus his own escort knights, a total of five or six hundred cavalry, and Rekmund led them to flee south, first bypassing the south side of Rezwan, meeting the forces blocking the south of the city, and then fleeing to the river, where the Panyang River was now completely frozen and could be crossed from the ice.

The infantry besieging the city watched the cavalry brothers flee in front of their eyes, threw themselves and others under the city, and scolded angrily one by one.

"No more fighting, no fighting!" A Persian officer who stormed the city wall was the first to drop his weapon and surrender to the enemy on the opposite side, which soon set off a chain reaction in which large swaths of the enemy army threw down their weapons and shouted in Persian and Turkic.

"Don't fight, don't fight, we surrender!"

Mondstadt fled, but the Shang Alliance did not succeed, it turned out that several members of the Chamber of Commerce quarreled over which direction to escape, and by the time they had discussed the escape route and were ready to go east to bypass Rezwan, it was too late, not only the Five Rivers Army on the left flank had already come to the front, but Lu Dingbang in Rezwan City also took the last few hundred reserves in the city to kill out of the north gate, directly blocking their retreat route.

The people of the Shang League tried to break through in the direction of Lu Dingbang, and after killing 100 people, they saw that the left wing army had arrived, and immediately surrendered obediently.

The squatting pit army won the battle almost without bloodshed.

But... I'm so angry, I've been squatting in the pit for three days, and I won't even be allowed to take a head?!
