"Quickly let General Gan go down to the city, order all the armies to hold their positions, and when General Gan goes down to the city, immediately withdraw to the river!" He Qi was really anxious, the fire by the river was hidden on his face, but it couldn't hide his pale face. He regretted taking over the position of pioneer and leading all the troops of his own family here.

Gan Ning also had a pale complexion, and the calm man in front of him made him feel unprecedented pressure, but it was not that the opponent's force was better than his own, but in fact, he did his best, and the opponent may not be able to take any advantage under his command, but his own back road was extinct, and the calm man in front of him made him unable to see the slightest hope of being able to capture the city.

The golden sound of retreating soldiers was already sounding under the city, but Gan Ning's personal guards on his side firmly guarded Gan Ning in the middle, separating Wang Ping and Gan Ning. At this moment, Gan Ning had time to see the situation under the city, and most of his and He Qi's subordinates were attacking the city near Tucheng, and the mile-long Tucheng firmly strangled the Jiangdong army.

On the left flank, a sizable group of cavalry was faintly visible, and on the right flank, an elite infantry was slowly approaching. Gan Ning's unwilling tiger roared: "Withdraw, go down to the city!" ”

After that, it was withdrawn from the cloud ladder at the head of the city, and there were not many Jiangdong troops who climbed to the head of the city, most of them were Gan Ning's private men, and most of them were the old brothers of the Jinfan thieves who were killed together in Yizhou. Gan Ning's eyes were cracked, but he still decisively went down to the city, not going down to the city at this moment, the sound of gold had already sounded, and the Jiangdong Army's offensive was broken, not to mention that all of these troops escaped, even if they had to lie in this city.

Xiangxiang City left behind the five thousand new soldiers brought from Quanling, and Huo Yi did not dare or was unwilling to let these soldiers who had not undergone systematic training die in vain.

Most of the 3,000 people are old pawns, and their calm temperament and high morale made Huo Yi feel a little more at ease, and Huo Yi took the lead in riding out of the north gate. The front Wang Ping is only a dozen miles away from Xiangxiang City, which is a distance. It will take half an hour to march in a hurry.

However, it was said that Gan Ning came down from the city, but the troops on his side were killed in battle, and half of them were caused by covering everyone to withdraw from the city. Most of them were killed by the crossbow arrows of the Jingnan army.

Gan Ningyuan came to He Qi's side with tiger eyes open, and He Qi sighed helplessly: "Xingba! The situation of our army is worrying, we cannot advance, there are strong enemies on the left and right, and the way back is extinct. ”

Gan Ning was silent when he heard this, and then slowly raised his head: "Gong Miao! The reason why Ning dared to come here with the general was because he valued Gongmiao's fighting spirit at that moment. Why has it come to such a point, but the male seedlings are so depressed! In the past, it was heard that the Marquis of Huaiyin fought against the water, and defeated the enemy several times with a weak army, and then he was born after putting it to death, and now there are thousands of forward troops and horses in our army. Why so depressed! The male seedlings can be with me three thousand armor soldiers, and I am the front part. or left or right. Or fight to the death! ”

He Qi is also a tiger general, at this moment, hearing Gan Ning's words, his lifelong courage was stimulated, but he said loudly: "Our army has come to this point, Xingba has been rushing forward to kill, but I am the former army commander who is watching the excitement from behind!" This time, he broke through and led the headquarters to press the formation in the back. Fight the enemy army to survive! ”

Gan Ning nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the enemy army is besieged on three sides, our army is in decline. You might as well break through all the way and break through. On the left is a cavalry army, numbering at two thousand on the left; On the right side are a group of foot soldiers, numbering about 3,000! Which way do you think we should charge? ”

He Qi frowned, and said coldly: "The front of the cavalry is too strong, our army is all foot soldiers, even if they rush over, most of them will be chased and killed, this road is not passable!" It's better to take the right side and rush to kill! ”

Gan Ning shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although the right road is easy to rush, but a certain person has heard that the Dadu Governor scout has reported that there are eight thousand Jingnan soldiers on the right side, and the army is strong, but the left road is only five thousand, if our army rushes over, it can survive, and this is a river valley and tidal flat, the land is wet, and most of the enemy cavalry are Jingnan people, and the horsemanship must be not perfect, which has greatly limited the play of the cavalry." I'd rather think that you can rush and kill from the left! ”

He Qi thought about it, but nodded, and said loudly: "In this way, don't wait, Qi will gather the people!" ”

At this moment, the Jiangdong army has already withdrawn to a place close to the river bank, and the arrows at the head of the city have not stopped for a moment, although the Jiangdong army has a shield to protect it, but the casualties are still extremely heavy.

Since He Qi and Gan Ning had agreed, He Qi stared, got up and said loudly: "Soldiers, our army is in danger today!" Only a battle to the death can survive for a lifetime! He made a mistake in decision-making, and he is in this situation! But He still has to hear a word, do you dare to work with me and fight with all your strength to survive? ”

Most of the troops of the Jiangdong Army here are the troops of He Qi and Gan Ning, and when they heard the call of their own generals, they responded loudly, He Qi won the hearts of the army, and his heart was settled, and he ordered loudly: "The cavalry on the west side of the target, the shield hand is in front, the gunner is in the back, and the crossbowman chooses the opportunity to shoot, on!" ”

These thousands of pawns immediately lined up in an attacking fish scale formation, slowly moving to the west.

When Wang Ping saw the enemy army withdrawing, his eyebrows froze, and he also said coldly: "Don't let the enemy army get away, General Huo will lead the army to defend the army, and the general will personally lead the army and horses to pursue!" ”

Huo Liang also knew the truth that fighters were hard to find, so he just nodded slowly.

Wang Ping ordered 4,000 military horses, half of which were close-range sword and shield hands, and half were long-range crossbowmen, but they were extremely stable matches.

As soon as the gate of Tucheng was opened, Gan Ning knew that today's battle was very good, and he followed He Qi's troops to the west.

Wang Ping was not in a hurry, the enemy rushed towards Wang Chong's cavalry, but he had to pay great casualties, because no matter what kind of cavalry it was, it was not afraid of the frontal impact of the infantry.

Wang Chong saw that the Jiangdong army was not going east, but it was coming to his own cavalry, but he laughed out loud, these Jiangdong turtles regarded their own Huo family cavalry as ordinary southern cavalry. They are doomed to pay the price for their ignorance.

Wang Chong took the spear he had always used in his hand, and after Huo Yi's correction, his spear skills were extremely sharp, and he had not fought for many days, but he already had full confidence.

"Blade Formation! The knife is on the side, and the spear is in front! Wang Chong ordered coldly.

More than half of the two thousand cavalry soldiers were Huo Yi's personal guards, and all of them were the elite of the elite of the Jingnan army. Hearing the generals' orders, they didn't need other transfers, and formed a sharp arrow formation steadily.

Wang Chong was at the forefront of the cavalry, looking at the dense military formation of the Jiangdong Army approaching in front of him, but he took a deep breath, and the handle of the spear in his hand twitched the war horse under his crotch: "Drink!" This cavalry immediately followed Wang Chong to kill, and for a time it was like a dragon and a tiger, stealing people's hearts.

A few miles away, He Qi was in his own military formation, watching the enemy's rapid change of formation, but his heart was "groaning", such a rapid formation change, this is no longer an ordinary elite cavalry, he has a bad premonition, maybe he has kicked the iron plate is undecided, but the arrow has been wound, it is bound to become a tiger, and it is difficult to turn back.

He Qi shook his head, shook off the thoughts in his mind, and the distance between the two armies was less than five miles, and he already roared: "Drop the shield!" ”

He Qi's subordinates were also very elite, and as soon as the words fell, they immediately heard a "boom", and the shield fell neatly. The spear pierced through the shield and pointed at the approaching cavalry. Even those crossbowmen, who also take arrows and wind them, can only be fired by these cavalry.

Wang Chong is not a barbarian, these cavalry are extremely difficult to cultivate, most of the cavalry of the Huo family army were trained and cultivated by themselves at the beginning, if they are equipped with the military formation of the Jiangdong Army like this, most of them will lose a lot of people.

Just when this Biao cavalry broke into the range of the Jiangdong Army's crossbow machine, Wang Chong ordered in a cold voice: "Points!" Side-hit! ”

This is an extremely clever way to play, and the Jiangdong Army's shields are mostly concentrated on the front side, and there are even as many as two or three layers. There is only one layer on both sides, which is extremely easy to break through.

At this moment, the elite of the Huo family's cavalry was undoubtedly revealed, Wang Chong's order had just come out from the banner of the flag commander, and these horses were immediately divided into two teams, and at the moment when they were about to collide with He Qi's infantry, they bypassed the front and attacked both sides of He Qi's infantry formation.
