On the long street, the fire was in flames, blocking the way ahead.

Han Sui yelled, "Kill, rush to kill!" ”

The soldiers didn't dare to kill themselves, and their legs clamped the horse's belly, but the war horse under the crotch kept neighing, and only retreated.

On the other side, hundreds of soldiers were still throwing dead grass, rotting wood and other flammable things into the fire, and the eyes of the people choked by the pungent smoke were almost unable to open, and the war horses were restless, struggling to scrape the ground with their hooves.

Han Suiqi's face was pale, and his eyes were almost about to be devoured.

"Damn, how could this be!"

Han Sui couldn't figure it out, obviously he had already planted an ambush in the city, and opened the city gate with a sneak attack, how could he be blocked from entering the city as soon as he entered the city, this battle was really enough to make a fire.

Eight thousand cavalry were blocked by hundreds of foot soldiers, could there be anything more aggrieved than this?

If you look at the high walls on both sides of the street, you can't help but gnash your teeth.

If it weren't for the terrain, the 8,000 cavalry would not have been stopped by a mere few hundred foot soldiers.

"Break the wall and kill it from both sides!"

Han Sui's thoughts turned sharply, seeing that the war horse was afraid of the fire, he had another plan, and hurriedly roared.

The cavalrymen who were crowded in the alley immediately shouted and rolled off their horses, and hundreds of people rushed up, either slashing with knives, or hundreds of people against the earthen walls on both sides, shouting, and at the same time trying to tear down the earthen walls.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Gao Shun saw it clearly, and immediately waved his hand and shouted.

Two hundred longbowmen immediately shot two hundred powerful arrows in unison through the fire.

The cavalry who rushed in was huddled in a heap in the alleyway, and even if a blind man threw a brick, he could hit one casually, but he really became a live target for the archers, and without protection, the person who was immediately shot turned on his horse.

What's worse is that the war horse that was wounded by the bow and arrow was frightened, causing great chaos.

Dozens of frightened war horses did not dare to rush in the direction of the fire, and even jumped and kicked their hooves to run back, and some unlucky soldiers were thrown off their horses and quickly trampled on their backs, causing even greater chaos.

What the cavalry feared most was to bomb the camp because of the loss of control of the war horses, and once this happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, very few cavalry were crowded together, but due to the terrain in the city, the eight thousand cavalry could not rush forward, and Gao Shun took advantage of the favorable terrain to meet the attack, and finally squeezed together, and finally caused a bad result.

Eight thousand cavalry rushed into the city of only a few hundred horsemen, more cavalry is still outside the city, I don't know the situation in the city, still keep rushing in, the final result is to make the hundreds of cavalry in front of the crowd tighter and tighter, the war horses are almost unable to turn around.

Under such circumstances, once the war horse is frightened and out of control, the consequences are simply catastrophic.

Han Sui's eyes were about to split, and he roared sharply: "Release the arrow, release the arrow quickly!" ”

The huddled cavalry hurriedly shot hundreds of arrows, but they were blocked by the heavy infantry behind the fire with their shields, and they did no substantial damage to the longbowmen who were hiding in the heavy infantry to release their arrows.

Another volley, and the cavalry, which had been huddled at the front, immediately fell again.

Han Sui's face was hideous, and he struggled to wave his saber to block the powerful arrow, and suddenly felt a huge pain in his right arm, and was actually shot through his arm by a cold arrow, and the strength of his body retreated like a tide, and he was immediately shocked.

Hurriedly flicked the horse's head, retreated to the back, and roared hoarsely.

At this moment, at the fork of the roadway in front of him, a group of ground soldiers quickly drove over.

Wu Xi rode over, and quickly glanced at the shape, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, Gao Shun, this guy finally didn't disappoint someone, and actually blocked the sneak attack of the thieves, otherwise it would be a disaster!" ”

"Kill, get this damn thief out of here."

Wu Xi calmed his mind, hurriedly drew his knife in his hand, and shouted, majestic.

Kill Kill Kill ......

More than 2,000 elite northern troops responded with three calls, rolling forward.

The raging fire blocked the streets, and the soldiers could not get through, so they climbed onto the roofs on both sides, and poured a dense rain of arrows like flying locusts on the heads of the cavalry who rushed into the city.

On the long street ahead, there were also elite foot soldiers who arrived one after another and began to deploy along the street.

Hundreds of cavalry crowded into the narrow alleys, not to mention killing the enemy at this time, even trying to avoid the ubiquitous rain of arrows, there was no place to stay, from time to time the horses were shot wounded and frightened, and kicked wildly, causing even greater chaos.

"Withdraw, withdraw, get out of the city."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Sui hurriedly yelled, and the corners of his eyes almost wanted to cry blood.

"The lord has an order, withdraw from the city!"

Hundreds of cavalry shouted in unison, but they kept retreating.

The cavalry behind had all pressed up, and they were crowded at the gate of the city for a while, and they couldn't disperse at all.

A junior colonel rushed to Gao Shun and said loudly: "General, the thieves have ordered a retreat, the army is in turmoil, if our army takes advantage of the situation to cover up the army, it will be able to win the battle and defeat this sneak attack in one fell swoop." ”

Gao Shun glanced at the fire blocking the street, and said in a deep voice: "There is no road ahead, how to pursue." ”

Xiao Xiao sighed, his face full of unwillingness.

The thieves ordered to withdraw from the city, and the army was already in turmoil, and it was the best time to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

If they waited outside the city, how could the two retreating infantry catch up with the cavalry. Moreover, once in the field, the cavalry can give full play to the advantage of mobility and strategically suppress the infantry, and it is difficult to say who will destroy whom.

However, although they can't rush through, the archers don't stand stupidly.

As long as they could draw their bows, they desperately poured out the remaining arrows.

You don't need to accurately measure the position, you just need to look at the approximate direction and shoot the arrow, and eighty percent will not miss.

There was no way, who told the cavalry who rushed in to squeeze too tightly, and they all became live targets.

Half an hour later, Han Sui, under the escort of more than ten personal soldiers, rushed out of the north gate of Lingju covered in blood.

Although the wolf bèi was very good, and he was wearing several arrows, he finally came out.

Gao Shun climbed the tower with hundreds of archers, and he was still pouring down arrows.

The screams continued to be heard, and some cavalrymen fell from their horses and fell to the ground howling.

"Let's go!"

Han Sui forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hand, and more than 7,000 cavalry quickly escaped into the dark night.

"General, do you want to take advantage of the victory to pursue?"

A small colonel walked up to Wu Xi and asked loudly.

"Chase a fart!"

Wu Xi scolded angrily: "The thieves are all cavalry, and our army is all foot soldiers. ”

"Ugh!"

Xiao Xiao choked, didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly retreated.

When the losses were counted the next day, they found that more than 400 soldiers had been killed last night, and as many as eighty percent of them were killed in the battle, none of them were lightly injured, and the rest were all seriously injured.

If it weren't for the Northern Army, which was the most elite division of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for Gao Shun's decision on the spot, correctly judging the enemy's situation, and not being hit by the thief's plan to attack from east to west, he would have been able to defend the ground in the city.

After thinking about it, Wu Xi didn't feel afraid for a while.

Lingju is the place of the Qiang Lieutenant Department, and it is also the foundation of Luo Zheng.

In the city, there are not only Luo Zheng, Xun Yu and other local families, but also the rations of nearly 20,000 people are also here.

If you lose your order this time, how can you spare yourself with Luo's character of land acquisition.

The more I thought about it, the more I was afraid, and I was secretly glad that I had sent Gao Shun to patrol the city last night, otherwise if it was someone else, there would be little chance that the sneak attack would be stopped, and enough time would be bought for the army to assemble and rush to the north gate.

Although Gao Shun is not popular, as a commander general, his ability is still undisputed.

As for Han Sui, after escaping from Lingju, he counted the battle damage, and almost vomited blood alive.

After a fierce battle, the casualties exceeded 1,000.

Most of them were crowded in the alleys near the city gate, unable to move and folded under the archers of the Luo expeditionary army. Although not many died on the spot, since they did not escape, they fell into the hands of the defenders of the city, what is the difference between death.

"I'm angry!"

Han Sui roared angrily, eager to split this damn thief with a knife.

The original foolproof sneak attack, not only failed, but also lost the army, how can you not be angry.

Cheng Ying has been hiding behind the ground, and at this time, when he asked Ming to attack the city, he could only sigh, "I have heard that the Northern Army is a real elite army of a hundred battles, and it really lives up to its reputation. Now that the sneak attack has been fruitless, I can only return to Yungo and make another plan. ”

Han Sui gritted his teeth and said: "I intend to gather a large army to defeat Lingju, and hate it with blood!" ”

"My lord, I can't!"

Cheng Ying was shocked and said: "At present, the defenders of Lingju have already taken precautions, if they want to break it by force, they may consume their strength, and besides, Luo Zheng will go to Baicaotan to join the alliance, and he may return at any time." What's even more worrying is that Ma Teng has always been eyeing the lord, if the lord summons a large army to besiege Lingju, and Ma Teng takes the opportunity to lead the army to attack, the situation will be in danger! ”

Han Sui vomited blood and said: "Our army has opened the city gate, but failed to attack the Lingju, which is really a great shame!" If I don't break the order and live in the shame of blood, I will completely cut off the foundation of Luo Zheng's children, so how can I feel at ease! ”

The rest of the generals also clamored to break the Lingju and be ashamed of it.

There's no way, this battle is too embarrassing.

Even if he fought with Ma Teng for a few years, he had never been so aggrieved.

In the case of the possession of troops, Neiying opened the city gate to greet him, and was actually driven out by the defenders of Lingju.

Such aggrieved things are unbearable for anyone else.

Cheng Ying hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done, the lord thinks twice!" ”

Han Sui's face was cloudy, and his chest rose sharply for a while, before he threw down his arm hatefully, and said unwillingly: "What Gongying said is very true, Ma Teng is the great danger of this general, and it is indeed not appropriate to act rashly now." However, our army took advantage of Luo Zheng'er's trip to Baicaotan to join the alliance and sent troops to attack Lingju, which has completely torn its face. Although General Ben is not afraid of Luo Zheng'er, if he and Ma Teng jointly attack, I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble, and Gongying can have a good plan to deal with it? ”

Cheng Ying was anxious to have any good plan, so he had to say: "Why don't you go back to Yunwu first and then make a plan!" ”

Han Sui sighed and muttered, "That's the only way!" ”

Looking back at Lingju City, where the torches were bright, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
