It was finally dawn, and although the sun had not yet risen, everything could be seen clearly. Yuan Hao stood at the head of the city, looking at the surrounding Song Jun, who was stupid. This was something he had never encountered before, just one day and one night, tens of thousands of people forcibly marched for nearly a hundred miles, and surrounded Zhuoluo City.

After being stunned for a while, Yuan Hao begged Ye Liyu beside him: "There is no Song army around the city, don't they want to attack the city?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the Song army is not arrayed, all the hills around Zhuoluo City are stopped by the Song army, and they can rush down at any time. It seems that in their eyes, there is no need to attack Zhuoluo City at all, and they don't believe that we will defend it-"

Yuan Hao's hand slammed into the city wall and clung to the city wall. This is the first time that the Song army has been despised like this, and I can't help but be angry, I really want to have a good fight with the Song army in this city to see if they can easily take it down.

The city of Zhuoluo is not big, the city walls are low, and the rammed earth is built, and there is not even an urn city. As a city, Zhuoluo City is more than a little worse than the abandoned Lanzhou City in the south. The reason why it was built here instead of Lanzhou is because it is a three-way road from Lingzhou and Hehuang areas in the hinterland of the party to Hexi. The party is not an agrarian regime, and it has no interest in Lanzhou, so it is enough to build a small city at this three-way intersection and deal with the situation in Hexi and Hehuang at any time.

Thinking of leading troops to attack the Song Dynasty, I was so distressed when I encountered a walled city that I had to use the means of fraudulent surrender. Zhuo Luocheng is no smaller than the Jinming Village that he fought a few days ago, but in the eyes of the Song Jun on the other side, it is not worth serious preparation at all.

Staring at the Song army outside the city, he was silent for a while, and then Yuan Hao said: "Since they don't want to attack, then why should we defend it!" Our party Xiang people come and go like the wind, the most conducive to field warfare, why should they be as cowardly as the Song people, they can only hide in the city! ”

Ye Liyu begged for a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that Yuan Hao's head would be faint and he would defend the city. The Song army dared to defend the city because there was basically no lonely city there, and they could soon wait for reinforcements to come if they held it. What's near Drotor City? The nearest Xishou Jian Military Division was also five hundred miles away, and by the time they arrived, the daylily would have already been cold. Not to mention that the Song army was still staring at Huizhou, and the Xishou Supervisor Military Division did not dare to come out. As for Hexi, you can't count on it, if you lose here, if you don't mess there, God will bless you.

Seeing that Yuan Hao was still hesitating, Ye Liyu begged: "Your Majesty, I see that the Song army is still concentrating people and horses here along the Kaluo River, and the longer it drags on, the more troops they will besiege the city, and the more unfavorable it will be for us." When the interruption continues, we will suffer from its chaos, and at this time the battle situation is not favorable to us, so it is better to break through as soon as possible. After arriving in Lingzhou, you will gather the army and take this place back! ”

Yuan Hao said hatefully: "The Song army outside the city is not in formation, what is waiting is the mobilization of our troops and horses." As soon as we move, they will inevitably attack, which is extremely annoying! If you want to break through, you must have a rear formation to resist the Song soldiers' soldiers and horses-"

Ye Liyu begged and said: "Although Your Majesty leads the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to break through to Lingzhou, I will take the soldiers and horses of the Supervision Army Division to break off!" The Song people were not tightly surrounded, and it was only two or three miles from the city to the eastbound pass. ”

"It's quick to go east, but it's all the way up. I see that the banner of the Song army over there has occupied all the hills, and we will suffer a big loss if we attack on our backs. If you go north, the road will be much wider and less difficult. ”

Ye Li Yu begged and shook his head: "Your Majesty, if we can think of it, the Song people must also think of it." Look at the north of the city, the Song army is boundless, I don't know how many! Traveling north through the valley, passing through such a large group of men and horses—"

Of course, Yuan Hao understands that not only has the road north of the city been blocked by the Song army, but also that the northbound road is to the west of the river, so will he go to Hexi to do the meeting? One is not good, and being blocked by the Song army there will inevitably be chaos within the party. To go east is to throw the broken army to the Song army, and no matter how domineering it is, it is necessary to comfort the Yeli Yuqi who stayed behind the broken army.

Patting the city wall, Yuan Hao said categorically: "Okay, then break through to the east!" Uncle, you sent more people to defend the city, and the army of the general supervising the army went out of the city to cover the back road of my army. I will lead my troops and horses to fight a way to the east, and you will follow us closely! ”

Ye Li Yu begged for a promise and nodded silently. Although I don't know how many people came from the Song army, no matter how the broken army is, they must stay, and it is a dream to follow the path that Yuan Hao killed. The posture of the Song army is clearly to divide and encircle, and Yuan Hao is to kill the way out, how much he can run is still unknown, and he can only stop breaking his tail to survive.

Yuan Hao's military order was handed down, and the main force of his pro-army, which was camped outside Zhuoluo City, began to pull out the camp and slowly concentrated to the east of the city.

Xu Qian took out two rockets, let the soldiers around him point it, let go of his hand, flew into the air one after the other, and exploded with a "snap".

"How did the Song army use these advocating arts in the military formation, hateful!" Before Yuan Hao's words fell, he heard a horn in the north of the city, and the deep voice smashed the silence of the early morning. The cavalry of the Song army on a small hillside descended like the wind, and rushed straight at a group of Yuan Hao's personal troops who had just begun to move to the east of the city. With the sound of this horn, there were horn arrows rising into the air from time to time, and the horns came and went, and the cavalry of the Song army, which occupied the favorable terrain, began to attack the moving party army.

The cold steel horse swept across the body of the party soldier, bringing up a blood flower, and the horse did not stop and continued to rush forward.

Rushing from hill to hill, the Song army did not engage the party army head-on, but only roared past the junction of each of their teams, crushing all the creatures in their path. Now it is clear why the Song army occupies all the high ground in this area, the cavalry is condescending, slowly accelerating on the low slope, sprinting with all their strength on the flat ground, and then turning to another nearby hillside. In a single turn, the armies of several hills rotated again.

After being rushed and killed once, the formation of the party army was completely disrupted, and slowly the soldiers began to scurry around like headless flies.

Ye Li Yuqi was frightened, and said to Yuan Hao: "Your Majesty, it is not a way to go on like this, I was thrown into chaos by the Song army, and I don't know when I will be able to concentrate the army in the east of the city." When you send a general, go out of the city and first capture a few hills in the north of the city! ”

Yuan Hao turned his head sharply and said to the person behind him: "Wulinu, you take the iron cavalry of the headquarters and go out of the city to occupy the hill on the left, not the one with three big trees on the mountain!" When the waves are moved, you also take the iron horse of the headquarters to occupy the one next to the tree! ”

The two agreed, and when they turned around to leave, Ye Liyu begged and said: "Two generals, the stakes are very high, even if you can't capture those two hills, you must force the Song army on the mountain, don't let them rush down!" Otherwise, the army will not be able to assemble! ”

Seeing Yuan Hao nodding, the two agreed and went in stride.

Jia Kui stretched his neck to look at the battle not far away, and took a sip: "These thieves are so useless that they can't even assemble the team, when will they come to us?" If you can't fight after dark, you will wait for another day in vain! ”

Yang Wenguang kept looking there with a telescope, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, the thieves will definitely send troops to counterattack a few hills and clear the road." Otherwise, they would not have waited until dark, and by noon the army outside the city would have been destroyed. "As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of cavalry rushing out of Zhuoluo City, all of them were in iron armor, and the armored soldiers on their bodies reflected their brilliant brilliance in the sun." Coming, coming, the thief is really in a hurry, send the iron horsemen around him out of the city to take the road! ”

"I'll see! These party iron horses, blowing like a god, are they useful," Jia Kui said, taking the binoculars.

Yang Wenguang handed the binoculars to Jia Kui and said with a smile: "You should take a look and see how the Xuanwei Army deals with the iron cavalry charging formation." When the thieves escape, we will still have one more time here. ”

Jia Kui took the binoculars, looked at them and felt that they were very unpleasant, turned over and climbed to his side, raised the binoculars, stretched his neck, and watched Yuan Hao's personal soldiers and iron horses force towards the two hills in the north of the city.
