Chapter 512: False Retreat True Advance 2
The military formation of the Xiaoguo army began to stir, a large part of the soldiers standing in the front row began to look around in horror, and the timid ones had begun to retreat, and the officers rode back and forth in front of the formation, shouting loudly, trying to control the decline, but his efforts were in vain, more people began to retreat, and the soldiers who could hold on to their positions were becoming fewer and fewer.
"The effect has been achieved, let's withdraw!"
"Withdraw!"
The "running ......" retreated to run, and the 5,000-strong army resisted a little, and suddenly collapsed and fled in all directions.
"Give me chase! What a fruit army, vulnerable. Kong Yu shouted with his gun and chased after him. I have to say that when fleeing for his life, anyone will do their best, except for the thousands of Xiaoguo soldiers who huddled together and ran forward in an organized and organized manner, the rest of the soldiers were some of them followed him closely, and some of them fled in all directions.
The cavalry of the guards pursued for more than 20 miles, until the rout of the Xiaoguo army encountered a grain convoy of 2,000 people, and then they defended on the spot. And it was for this reason that the guards who were about to retreat were determined to snatch back the opponent's grain and grass and annihilate this Xiaoguo army.
"Lao Xu, what's in your bag? It's not like a stone! Leng Yan waved his bandaged right arm, patted the sack on the grain truck, and asked.
Known as Lao Xu, he said with a smile: "It's dirt, and it looks more like." ”
"Okay, get ready, connect the grain carts to the array, take out the shields and bows on the grain carts for me, and prepare for defense! If the guards dare to come, let them have a good chance here. Han Lin shouted loudly. Nearly 4,000 soldiers quickly lined up a neat line behind the grain cart, and the previous 5,000 soldiers ran here only 2,000 people, and the rest were either killed or scattered.
Seeing that more than a thousand cavalry had all arrived, Feng Zhao's heart began to heat up, why not lead his troops to break through here and wipe them out?
"Order, cavalry prepare, we're going to kill it, and the result is this group of bastards." Feng Zhao shouted.
"My lord, do you wait for the general and the foot soldiers to come? This Xiaoguo army uses grain wagons as a line of defense, and the cavalry charge will not be so easy. A lieutenant whispered.
"Huh? With the previous combat strength of the Xiaoguo Army, Mo said that there was a grain truck defense line, even if there were two or three lines, they would not want to stop us. After fleeing for twenty miles, they must be exhausted and can't give them time to rest, understand? How? You're scared, aren't you? Feng Zhao said coldly.
The captain saw Feng Zhao's gloomy face, and immediately hurriedly said, "Do what the adults want!" ”
"Rush! Let these damn Xiaoguo soldiers know that our guards are not so easy to mess with! Feng Zhao waved his spear and shouted.
The entire line of the cavalry of the Guards began to move slowly forward, gradually increasing in speed. The clanging of the horse's hooves also began to hurry. As the horses ran faster and faster, the whole ground trembled, and the sound of heavy horses' hooves was like rolling thunder in a winter night, and the cavalry, which was only a thousand people, brought an extremely powerful and magnificent momentum.
"Pikemen, bring me close to the grain cart, stretch out of the wall, and prepare to assassinate!"
"Crossbowmen, prepare!"
With the officer's order, the Xiaoguo army also began to act one after another, and the pikemen and sword and shield bearers on the outside leaned on the side of the grain cart, and the spears close to the length were placed diagonally on the grain carts, ready to give the enemy the fiercest attack at any time.
Behind the pikemen and sword and shield men, there were less than two thousand crossbowmen, bent bows and arrows, holding crossbows flat, staring intently at the approaching cavalry of the Guards.
"Steady, steady! Don't panic, the enemy has not entered a distance of fifty meters, and no one is allowed to shoot! The officers shouted coldly.
The cavalry of the Guards was getting closer and closer, and the sergeants of Xiaoguo in the circle clearly felt the ground trembling under their feet, the soldiers of the Young Guards, but they had only been formed after training, and half of them were recruited from the new barracks, although there were veterans among them, but most of them were junior officers. In the face of this menacing guard cavalry, the slightly trembling hands still showed their nervous hearts.
A hot wind was squeezed and blew from the opposite side, and the vanguard line of the guards cavalry had already rushed into the front line of the Xiaoguo army for 100 meters, and the whole air looked dull and solemn.
In front of the grain cart, the sky was full of sand and dust, and the cavalry at the front of the guards cavalry was about to rush within fifty meters.
"Shoot!" The officer of the Xiaoguo Army shouted loudly when he saw that the target had reached the firing range.
Behind the grain truck, halfway, nearly 1,000 crossbowmen lined up in an upper, middle and lower shooting posture, and at the same time released the arrows in their hands and deducted the crossbow machine in their hands.
"Tweet ......" "Tweet ......"
Countless arrows and crossbow arrows pierced the air, like a torrential rain on the flat ground, shooting at the surging cavalry of the guards.
The crossbow arrows pierced the armor of the cavalry, and for a time I saw the cavalry of the guards turning on their backs, and the smoke and dust were rolling, and none of the knights who rushed to the front were spared, and they were all shot into hedgehogs.
"Hurry up, the first team immediately retreats and loads the arrows, and the second team speeds, up!"
The crossbowmen officer shouted at his subordinates, and immediately rushed up from behind, and a row of crossbowmen with crossbowmen loaded with crossbows took over the position of the front row. A second rain of arrows burst out, and hundreds of horsemen tumbled off their horses
"Withdraw...... Withdraw ......"
Rushing forward several times in a row, the bows and arrows of the Xiaoguo army were lost, and they continued to stop, and in just a while, there were only more than 300 people left in 1,000 cavalry. At this time, Feng Zhao realized that he couldn't rush here at all. Even if a cavalry rushed through the rain of arrows, they could not jump in front of the grain cart, and even in order to get closer, they were pierced by the sharp spear.
When Kong Yu arrived with his footmen, he found that his 1,000 cavalry could only go down to 300 people. After listening to Feng Zhao's report, Kong Yu was so angry that he almost didn't use a knife to cut people.

Muping City.
Looking at the army chasing the Xiaoguo army away, Xu Pi shook his head slightly, and sighed secretly in his heart. Now that the guards have been pulled away by the Xiaoguo Army, it is time for the next action of the Xiaoguo Army to begin, thinking about himself, and finally gritting his teeth. Things have come to this point, and there is no room for regret.
"Someone, order the officers above the commanders of all departments to come to me immediately to discuss matters, the general has an explanation before leaving, and there are some things that need to be done by them." Seeing the retreat of the Xiaoguo army in the distance outside the city, the guard army pursued relentlessly, and now the supreme commander of the defenders in the city, Gui Delang, went straight back to his house and summoned everyone to come to discuss the matter.
The generals do not know, but they will never dare to disobey it. Now in the city, except for the 1,000 government troops, the rest are young and strong, and these are all in charge of Xu Pi. In particular, half of the five thousand young men were trained by Xu Pi, even if some people disagreed with Xu Pi, they did not dare to show it, not only because of his identity, but also because he now has someone in his hands. If you find an excuse to kill you, will anyone stand up for you?
Dozens of officers, large and small, appeared in Xu Pi's mansion, and when they saw that Xu Pi's mansion was heavily guarded, these people couldn't help frowning slightly.
Dozens of officers were invited to the hall, all silently waiting for Xu Pi's arrival, and the guards who suddenly appeared on both sides of the hall had already put a lot of pressure on them, although the other party did not look at themselves.
"What does General Xu want us to do? This army has just been chased out, is there anything else important? ”
"Who knows, just listen, what is commanded from above, how we do it, don't ask, just do it." One said in a deep voice.
"Huh? Lao Li, is this your code of conduct, how did you become so honest today? The other said in a deep voice.
Lao Li said in a low voice: "I feel the bloody breath from the guards around me!" In other words, they had killed someone earlier. Speaking of this, the military captain surnamed Li closed his mouth and sat honestly in place.
The rest of the people also took a cold breath and quietly looked at the dozens of guards with long knives hanging from their waists, and couldn't help but shudder.
"General Xu has arrived!"
After everyone saluted, Xu Pi sat on the main seat, and sitting on Xu Pi's left hand side was a young man of 1256.
"Let me introduce you to this, Zhou Xu, the liaison envoy of the Eagle Eye Division of the Xiaoguo Army, is the captain of the Zhiyun Cavalry!" Xu Pi pointed at the young man and said lightly.
"What?" Suddenly, everyone in the hall was shocked.
"General Xu, do you know what you're doing? Why did this man of the Devil's Army appear in your house? Captain Su Dong stood up and asked sharply.
Zhou Xu said with a smile: "General Xu naturally knows what he is doing, after the five thousand guards left the city, they were already more than thirty miles away from this city, but my five thousand Xiaoguo army still made a detour through the west gate and entered the city. In other words, with the assistance of General Xu, my 5,000-strong army has entered the city. ”
"There are 5,000 troops, there are still 6,000 people in my city, just wait until the general returns, and you will die......"
"I'm sorry, five thousand young people, I'm afraid I won't listen to you, but General Xu has recruited a lot of Xiaoguo soldiers in it." Zhou Xu said coldly.
"Damn! Come! Come! When Su Dong heard this, he was shocked, and immediately shouted.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead! Look for death, kill! Zhou Xu shouted.
"Sting...... Poof......"
The horizontal knife was unsheathed, the head rolled off, and the dignified guard captain died.
"So...... Ladies and gentlemen...... What about your options? Zhou Xu said with a smile.
Muping City changed hands, and just when Kong Yu led the army to chase after the Xiaoguo Army and fight with it, Muping City changed hands! The west gate was opened, and three thousand Xiaoguo soldiers entered the city through the west gate in the name of the young and strong of the grain transportation team. The reason why he changed his clothes and armor was not because he was afraid of a counterattack in the city.
The defenders of the West City Gate are all Xiaoguo soldiers who are placed, and there is naturally no problem in entering the city, but the purpose of the Xiaoguo Army is to take the city bloodlessly, try not to create chaos, and hand over smoothly. You know, this is a government office, if the fight is sparse, it is really not worth changing so much effort to play yin.
In the city of Muping, only killed less than 100 people, and took over the city, in fact, there were not 5,000 people who entered the city, only 3,000 people, but 3,000 regular soldiers and soldiers, which is already a large number, in addition, there are hundreds of soldiers in the city, who have taken over these thousands of young soldiers. In short, even if Kong Yu comes back now, he can also ensure that the city is intact.

"How? Do we have enough arrows? Han Lin asked.
"It's not much, and I don't know what the situation in the city is, but don't really let us fight each other here with three thousand soldiers." Leng Yan touched his nose and said.
"What? Hurt and scared? ”
"That's not it, we have archers on both sides and enemies, and we killed more than 1,000 people on the other side, well, plus cavalry, it's almost 2,000 people, but we also lost nearly 1,000 people. What's more, there are still hundreds of people around us who are guards and soldiers, who knows if it will ......" Leng Yan whispered.
"It's okay, they're all archers, and they're surrounded by our swords and shields, so nothing will happen. Since you have surrendered and surrendered, I am afraid that there will be no good results. As long as we don't really fall, we'll be fine. I think the intelligence of Muping City should also come, and this guard should also withdraw. Han Lin said unhurriedly.
