At the head of the city, Yuan Kui, who had a thin face, sat on the city tower, his hands in his sleeves, his face was calm, his thin lips were pursed, and his eyes were slightly drooping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info◎ Smart children remember to play super fast hand updates.◎ Fa Yan arched his hands and stood behind him, and several guards with tigers on their backs stroked their swords, tightly guarding the side. The other generals sat far away, the atmosphere was depressing, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

Not far from the city, there is the imperial camp of the Son of Heaven, and on the horizon in the distance, the figure of three thousand iron horsemen is like a shadow. Yuan Kui knew that it was Xiao Tianzi's preparation to intercept the deployment of his reinforcements. He wanted to laugh very much, Xu You had thirty or forty thousand people, and Xu Rong only had three thousand, the victory or defeat was self-evident, did he still need to go out of the city to support?

But he couldn't laugh.

After experiencing the tragicomedy of the reinforcements in front of him, but he couldn't get to the city, and experienced that desperate mood, Yuan Kui's once calm heart can no longer remain calm, he knows that this victory and defeat are important to the Yuan family, and he can no longer afford a blow.

Moreover, this opportunity is so good, Liu Xiu, who is brave and good at fighting, was pinned down by Yuan Shao in the Liang State, unable to rush to support, there are only 20,000 imperial camps outside the city, such an opportunity is a rare opportunity, if it can't turn the tide of the war, don't say that those subordinates will be desperate, even Yuan Kui himself will be desperate, and the prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven in the Yuan family will be self-defeating.

Everything that followed, Yuan Kui didn't dare to imagine.

Because the consequences were so serious that they were unimaginable, although Yuan Kui felt that there was no suspense in this victory, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. He regretted it now, and he should not be agitated for a moment to witness the victory from the castle tower. Because he found it difficult to calm himself, and his nervous emotions were like a raging volcano. It can erupt at any time.

The hand in the sleeve was already wet and trembling involuntarily, so amplitude that his sleeves were trembling. He gripped his hand so hard that his nails dug deep into his flesh, forcing himself to calm down with pain.

……

Under the city, in the royal camp. Xiao Tianzi twisted the chess pieces in his hand, looked at the chessboard in front of him, but his mind was no longer on the chess game. He rubbed the warm jade chess piece. Didn't move for half a day.

"Your Majesty—" Empress Dowager Song dragged out her voice and reminded unhappily.

"Queen Mother-" Xiao Tianzi cried and put the chess pieces back into the chess box. "The Queen Mother. I really can't do it. ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it." Empress Dowager Song leaned over, shook his hand, picked up a piece in the chess box, and put it on the chessboard. Then he sat back, took out one of his own, and landed lightly on the chessboard. "It's your turn again."

"Queen Mother-" Little Tianzi was about to cry. Xu Rong was facing an enemy ten times his size, and the hope of victory was slim, Xiao Tianzi didn't dare to expect too much, but he didn't want Xu Rong to die in front of the battle. Although Xu Rong is Liu Xiu's township party. He was desperate for Liu Xiu, but Xiao Tianzi knew that Xu Rong was a real general, and with him, he could surround Pingyu City with 20,000 people. Once Xu Rong dies in battle, the army is likely to collapse.

At this time, if you want him to play chess calmly, he really can't do it.

"What do you want to do?" Empress Dowager Song sighed and didn't force him again. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Tianzi calmly: "Do you want to go to the city, or do you want to go to Fanyang Pavilion?" ”

"I ......" Xiao Tianzi was speechless.

"Under the city. There is Lu Zhonglang in command. Fanyang Pavilion, with Xu Zhonglang in command, their abilities are above you, what you can do, they can do it, even if you go, you can't do better than them. Empress Dowager Song said lightly: "In this case, what's the use of you going?" ”

"I ...... I can boost morale. ”

"You're here, and you're calming people." Empress Dowager Song shook her head: "Your Majesty, if you go to the front line, there will definitely be a morale-boosting effect, but they still have to spare their strength to protect you." Our army is already under-strengthened, so how can we be half-hearted at this time? You're here, just as morale-boosting. ”

"I ......"

"Your Majesty, you are still young and have not yet been in power, and there will be many opportunities to go to the battlefield in the future." Empress Dowager Song picked up a chess piece again: "Rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done one by one." Step by step, it can be a matter of course, and it is not in a hurry. ”

"But ......" Xiao Tianzi snorted: "Ah He is on the front line, I am still a man, how can I hide behind?" ”

"If the hussar general is here, I will not stop you." Empress Dowager Song glanced at him: "I don't have the courage of a hussar general, I can't guarantee your safety, I can only keep you away from danger." The son of a daughter, you can't sit down, let alone you are the dignified son of heaven? Your Majesty, don't say it's you, even the hussar generals don't easily go to the front line now. ”

Xiao Tianzi pursed his lips and did not say anything more. He picked up the pieces again and focused on the game.

……

In the east of Pingyu City, Lu Min was wearing a battle armor, holding a war knife, pacing back and forth under the shade of the trees, raising his head from time to time to look at Pingyu City, and from time to time looking at the direction of Fanyang Pavilion in the east of the city. Three thousand iron horsemen, standing in the shade of the trees, waited silently.

It is twenty miles away from Pingyu here, and it is also twenty miles away from Fanyang Pavilion. Lu Min and his people were guarding here, on the one hand, to support Xu Rong at any time, and on the other hand, they were also tasked with intercepting Yuan Kui - although this may seem small, it is necessary.

Of course, Lu Min knew the importance of this battle to Yuan Kui and even the entire Yuan family.

"My lord, someone's coming." Li Cheng suddenly pointed to the horizon in the distance and shouted. Li Cheng is the son of Li Ding, who once followed Liu Xiu to fight in Jiming Mountain, and after more than ten years, Liu Xiu has become a prominent hussar general, but he is still a small official in Zhuo County. His father, the famous scholar Li Ding, lowered his face and wrote a handwritten letter, and Lu Min accepted him and made him his own general, leading the young tribes who came from Zhuo County to join him.

Lu Min replied and raised his head, but he didn't have too much excitement. He made an appointment with Xu Rong that every quarter of an hour, he would send someone to report the news. If Xu Rong needed his support, as long as the signal was sent, he would receive it within the time of a meal. Since no such news has been received yet, it means that the situation is still within Xu Rong's control.

The knight ran to Lu Min. Turned over and dismounted, and saluted Lu Min. Lu Min nodded, glanced at his face, knew that there would be no bad news, and with a big deal in his heart, he waved his hand and asked someone to bring a pot of water first. "Don't worry. It's never too late to drink saliva. ”

"Thank you, sir." The knight nodded gratefully and took the kettle. After a few big sips, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile: "Dare to sue my lord." Although the current battle situation is fierce, it is very beneficial to our army. Under the command of Xu Zhonglang, our army has repelled three enemy attacks, and the corpses and ordnance in front of the battle are piled up, and according to preliminary estimates, at least 5,000 enemy troops have been killed and wounded. ”

Lu Min was stunned for a moment: "Really?" And what about the casualties of our army? ”

"At present, there are about 300 dead and seriously wounded who can no longer fight, mainly recruits under Huang Zhonglang, who lack combat experience and suffer heavy casualties. However, there are immortal masters who heal their wounds, and their emotions are quite stable. The scout grinned and recounted the situation at the front. Then he took his leave and mounted his horse and galloped away.

Lu Min breathed a sigh of relief, the opponent's three attacks had passed, nearly 5,000 people had been killed, and morale had declined. This result was far better than what he and Xu Rong had estimated. The battle will become more and more intense, but the balance of victory has tilted in favor of the side, and next, it depends on whether Xu Rong can withstand Xu You's crazy attack and make an effective counterattack.

Lu Min clenched the horsewhip in his hand and turned his gaze to Pingyu City. He thought for a moment. Stretched out his hand and called Li Cheng: "Send someone to pass the news just now to Your Majesty, so that he can rest assured." ”

Li Cheng bowed down to receive the order, and was just about to turn around and leave, when Lu Min stopped him again and thought for a moment: "Please Your Majesty mobilize the soldiers left behind in the imperial camp and prepare for battle." ”

Li Cheng was a little puzzled for a while: "My lord, you mean...... Let them come to their aid? ”

"No, I'm just getting them ready for battle." Lu Min raised his head, looked at the sky for a while, and laughed: "Perhaps, Yuan Kui will go out of the city and fight with us, how can he do it without making some preparations first." ”

Li Cheng answered, turned around and left. After a short time, several knights rushed out of the battle formation and rushed towards the imperial camp.

……

Xu You's face turned purple, and he gasped for breath, feeling upset and uneasy. He estimated that Xu Rong was not good at his peers, but he didn't expect him to be so strong, and he withstood his three attacks one after another, not only did the formation stand still, but also killed and injured five or six thousand of his soldiers. Although these soldiers are not as strong as Xu Rong's subordinates, and they are not as well-trained as them, after all, the gap in numbers is here, and such a large casualty not only makes him lose face, but also shakes the morale of the army.

"This shaft is too cunning." Xu You spat regardless of his image, angry and anxious.

From the first attack, Xu Rong showed his sharp gaze and superb on-the-spot command ability.

In the face of the giant shield, he did not waste a single arrow, but took advantage of the exhaustion of Yuan's soldiers to suddenly attack, and waited for them to retreat before using a dense array of arrows to kill a large number of people.

In the second formation, Xu You ordered the soldiers to rest for a drum time before the attack, take a breath, and prepare for the attack, but as soon as Xu Rong saw those soldiers stop, he preemptively launched a counter-charge, and those Yuan soldiers who had just stopped to catch their breath were caught off guard, and were killed and fled.

In the third formation, the angry Xu You sent 4,000 people in one go, divided into two groups to attack, covering each other and not giving Xu Rong a chance to sneak attack. As a result, when Yuan's army was intensively defending, Xu Rong threw hundreds of stone balls with a stone thrower, and the heavy stone balls hit the giant shield and the wooden shield flew away. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Yuan army, the dense feather arrows took advantage of the weakness to enter, and shè made people turn over on their backs. As soon as the arrow array stopped, the strong foot soldiers came up again, and the remaining Yuan soldiers could not support it, and fled in embarrassment.

Every time the defeated Yuan army fled, Xu Rong would see them off with a rain of arrows, and it was these arrow formations that caused the casualties to soar to a shocking level. Xu You had long known that Liu Xiu's arrow array was sharp, but he never expected it to be so fierce anyway. According to the convention, three thousand people will be equipped with one thousand crossbowmen, which is probably the highest standard that can be arranged in Xu Rong's battle array. However, the arrows of this thousand crossbowmen were even more fierce than the arrow array of tens of thousands of people.

What's going on? Xu You was crazy.

There are no new tactics in all battles, but these tactics can be used so smoothly and the timing is so accurate, Xu You can't do it at all. Under the command of Xu Rong, the three thousand well-trained soldiers of all arms cooperated tacitly, bringing their combat effectiveness to the extreme, and every time they stabbed Xu You's vital point, making Xu You unable to parry.

This made Xu You very angry. The dignified Nanyang Xu clan was actually defeated by a border county Hanmen, which was a great shame for him. Defeat him, I must defeat him! Xu You took two deep breaths and gave another order, ordering the remaining army to leave more than 5,000 people as reserves, and the others to divide into two parts and attack Xu Rong's front and right flanks respectively.

This time, we must break his formation and drive all 3,000 people into the river! Xu You waved his hand fiercely, his eyes blood-red...... Uh, forgot to set up auto-update, eight hours late. rq
