"What about the infantry led by Wu Shengzhi? Why hasn't it arrived yet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Mao led a cavalry army of 330 people, and went south, he was anxious, but after all, he was limited by horsepower, and after a long time, the war horse was feverish, unless he broke the skin with a knife and bleed, he could alleviate one or two, but the damage to the war horse was too great, he did not dare to make a decision for a while, and when he was five miles away from the city, he called the scouts to report, saying that the siege of the city was a group of chaotic people.

Immediately relieved, ordered the cavalry to dismount and lead the way forward, feed the war horses on the way, and recuperate their strength, but they were still worried that there were few soldiers defending the city and could not hold out until their own arrival, so they rushed to the back and roared, how could the infantry army follow so far behind.

A scout who came and went to receive the message of the army hurriedly came up and reported, "General, the infantry army led by General Wu is still thirty miles away, just past Qingfeng Fort, and is looking for a small road to go straight to the west gate of Ningxiang County. ”

"Tell him to be sure to arrive within an hour, and the offender will be punished by military law!" In the current situation, Li Mao can't afford to delay, even if it is a group of displaced people, but the scale of seven or eight thousand people and horses, even if it is filled with human lives, it can enter the city in an hour, and at that time, it will be a big sin to lose an elite main force.

"Yes!" The scout saw that Li Mao was very serious, and immediately hit the horse and rushed back to report back.

In this way, even if he was anxious in his heart, he didn't dare to joke with horsepower, so he could only slowly pull the war horse, and move towards the county seat of Ningxiang step by step. ”

Then he ordered the army to get on the horse, trotted forward, there was the thief army that attacked the north gate, saw the horse galloping behind, no less than a hundred horses, immediately worried, no longer dare to continue the siege, and heard the sound of killing in the east city, so he turned to the west gate to hide.

"General Chen, there is a cavalry attack in the north, it must be the cavalry under the command of the brigade to arrive, we can wait for the time being, we will not enter the city for the time being, first converge the cavalry, and then directly attack the main formation of the thieves, and we will relieve the siege of the county in one fell swoop!"

Outside the East Gate City, it was the main force of the second capital stationed in Wucheng that came two teams and a platoon of about 260 men and horses, led by the deputy general Chen Liu personally to relieve the siege, I didn't want the thief army to fight in no order, three miles away from the city, I didn't even call it to find, Chen Liu took a look, saw that the thief army was attacking the city very urgently, and the rear team was unprepared, so he directly led the army to break in and storm it.

The thief army is a mess, marching and fighting all depend on the time and place, this will be kung fu, is trying to go all out to the city, suddenly the back of the formation is so messy, even with the frightened front team has climbed the city of the thief army, even rolling and crawling down, and there is no effective command properly, the head and tail are difficult to care, suddenly the formation is in chaos, the rest of the scattered run without mentioning.

Chen Liu originally wanted to lead a team into the city to reinforce first, and then use a team to contain the rest of the siege thieves on all sides, but he didn't want to suddenly hear the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of thousands of horses galloping in the north, and suddenly understood that this was another cavalry reinforcement from his own army, so he beat his horse to the city downstairs and shouted to the city, "The reinforcements from all departments have arrived, and I ordered Captain Xu to move, and all the thieves must be annihilated here." ”

After a while, he saw that the scout sent by his family led a large number of cavalry troops over, and the banner at the head was Li Ziqi, so he told Chen Liu to quickly turn over and dismount, and said in his heart that this was Li Mao personally leading the army.

"I've seen the brigade rate!"

Chen Liu looked at the endless stream of cavalry behind him, and gave Li Mao a salute, so he got under the horse, "Brigade rate, the thieves have no rules and no battle formation, at this moment there is its main force in the south, why not directly rush into battle, chase and cut with a large army, it only takes half a day's work, but it is all successful!" ”

"Your troops have forcibly marched so far, but you still have the strength to fight again?!" As soon as Li Mao heard that he coincided with his own thoughts, he admired in his heart, and now his own military and horse command ability is good, and he can take charge of himself, but he is worried that Wu Cheng is here, and it is also a long way to go, and they will fight all the way here, and their physical strength may not be able to keep up.

When Chen Liuyi heard this, he said nonchalantly, "Don't look down on me and wait, just these thieves, another eight thousand is not enough to cut, just give the order!" ”

"Good!" Li Mao only said this, looked back at his own cavalry, saw that he had been fighting for a while just now, and the war horse was kicking and breathing, knowing that the force had reached the limit, and he suddenly didn't say anything, "The horsepower is galloping here, I can't bear the strength, just wait for a rest, I can break the formation, and now I am approaching the thief army to camp, just monitor, and when the main force of my infantry army comes up, I will not be able to escape." ”

Chen Liuyi was speechless when he heard that he couldn't act immediately, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he directly beckoned the rest of the troops to clean up the battlefield, and drove south with a complete team first, and lined up to monitor the main force of the thief army.

Zhao Sheng only felt that his hands and feet were weak now, his eyes were black, and he was in a good situation, how could he be like this again, he was seven or eight thousand men and horses, besieging a small city with only two hundred defenders, and he didn't take it for an hour, but called the official army reinforcements from all sides, and surrounded his own house, which was really unfavorable.

Now looking at the main force of the officers and troops in the northeast corner who have been dispatched to monitor one after another, he no longer dares to act rashly, let alone continue to attack the city, even if he retreats, he will not dare.

You must know that the official army, not only well-equipped, but also has war horses without calculation, a cursory glance, it has to be four or five hundred horses, which makes him suddenly frightened, is a dilemma, you must know that in the past, he relied on the mountains and rivers to deal with the officers and soldiers, once the war is unfavorable, immediately use the terrain to hide, but this is in the flat territory, from the nearest mountain road is also ten miles.

As soon as he thought of being slaughtered by the official cavalry on this journey, Zhao Sheng was full of despair, and then looked at the young men who fled one after another around him, and asked the officers and cavalry who were looking for the border to hold it, and after a long beating, he also extinguished the idea of abandoning the team and fleeing alone, fight, damn it, the officers and soldiers are not two heads and four hands, nothing more than a rotten life.

Thinking like this, the main force of the thieves led by him gradually went west, and joined the brigade of men and horses besieging the city in the west, and successively collected the rout troops of the two northeast gates, and finally gathered enough five thousand men and horses, but looking at the number of young and strong soldiers dispatched in the official army city, there were no less than four or five hundred young soldiers, and there were about seven or eight hundred men and horses of the elite army following the pursuit, so he could no longer think of a decisive battle.

Looking at the elite of the young and strong old battalion with no more than 1,000 people around him, each of them couldn't even get together a pair of armor, and the rest were women and children with a wooden spear, dung shovel, axe and sickle in their hands, he knew that there was no way out of the fight, so he could only escape, but after a while, he saw that the opposite side came out alone and rode out, and came this way, and was suddenly surprised, could it be that the official army came to persuade him to surrender?
