(Thank you for your strong support!) Thanks to Zhao Wuxian 2014, Jiexi, and UFGW for their support all the way. ๏ผ‰

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The White Wolf Army retreated, taking advantage of the night, coupled with the full cover of the axe and hammer ironclad warriors, quickly disengaged from the enemy, abandoned all the baggage, carried the wounded, and retreated sharply to the north. As for the robes that died in battle, they can only be cleaned up in the coming day.

As soon as the infantry retreated, the wolf's tooth flying cavalry also completed the task of blocking the enemy cavalry, in the sound of the horn, a whistle, the cavalry scattered, using the advantages of stirrups and familiar geography, quickly threw off the Youzhou cavalry, disappeared into the boundless darkness.

If the enemy army is defeated and retreats, whether to pursue it or not, and if so, whether to pursue it immediately or with the whole army to pursue it again, these are all decided by the commander. It's just that at this time, Gongsun Xu, the commander of the Youzhou Army, was busy vomiting blood, and he couldn't care about the commander for a while.

At present, Gongsun Xu's situation is really wolf, because he was dragged back by his subordinates, the shiny mirror surface of the bright light armor has been ground into a blur, several pieces of leather cords on the back armor are broken, iron leaves are scattered all over the ground, there are abrasions on the cheeks and the back of the hands, the hair bun is scattered, and the cape is scattered. But compared to the internal injury, the external wolf bรจi is nothing.

Soldier Yang Ji hit hard with the edge of the shield, although the armor blocked and did not cause external injuries, but the force passed through the armor and injured Gongsun Xu's lungs, causing him to vomit seven or eight mouthfuls of blood before he recovered. It was also because Gongsun continued to be injured, the army's heart was disordered, and the order was not in time, that the White Wolf Army calmly broke away.

Gongsun Xu has not recovered from the annoyance of losing the lance and helmet, Gongsun Ji of the rear army has already flown in, sweating profusely, and squeezed in, and when he saw Gongsun Xu sitting on the saddle, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and he couldn't express his concern, and said anxiously: "Eldest son." Please give the order to pursue quickly and take advantage of the gap to attack the White Wolf Camp. If you delay for a while, the enemy will escape, and I am afraid that this attack on White Wolf City will end up with a loss, and the labor will be in vain......"

Gongsun Xu was shocked and said in a low voice: "Great loss? โ€

Gongsun Ji's face was gloomy and he nodded.

Because it was getting late, Gongsun continued to be in the formation, and he couldn't see the surrounding situation for a while. And Gongsun Ji was in the rear army, condescending, and saw the losses of his army more clearly. There is no need to make detailed statistics, just look at the defects of the boss in the left, center, and right formations of the army, and you can roughly know how much you have lost. As for the casualties of the cavalry troops, even Gongsun Xu knew about it.

The losses of the Youzhou army were far worse than expected, but because of the cover of the sky, plus the excitement of defeating the White Wolf Army. The officers and men of the Youzhou Army will not be aware for a while. As the commander-in-chief, Gongsun Xu, under the reminder of General Gongsun Ji, realized a terrible problem: the casualties of the Youzhou Army are likely to be close to or even more than thirty percent, especially the casualties are mostly concentrated in the main battle soldiers, which is the critical point at which the morale of an army will collapse. Gongsun Ji's construction is indeed reasonable.

The officers and men of the Youzhou Army were in the excitement of defeating the enemy army at this time. Despite the exhaustion, despite the pain, the spirit is highly exuberant, this. It can be seen from the Youzhou soldiers who rushed to climb the flying tower and waved the captured white wolf army flag with all their might. If the Ouroboros pursues at this time, strike while the iron is hot. It is very likely that the enemy will be defeated in one go, and even the enemy city will be captured. And what if you camp and rest? At that time, heavy casualties will spread like a plague throughout the battalion, morale will be demoralized, and people will be terrified - this is not speculation. With Gongsun Xu's battlefield experience and knowledge of the army under his command, this is highly likely. At that time, it was not a question of how to pursue the enemy, but how to escape the enemy's pursuit and return to Youzhou with his life.

No choice!

Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Ji glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and showed a resolute look on their faces.

Gongsun continued to push away the support of Hu Cong, turned over and got on the horse, took a long breath, his chest hurt, coughed several times, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and roared in a dumb voice: "The Youzhou army is mighty, and the enemy army has been defeated!" โ€

Dozens of servants on the left and right repeated this sentence aloud. The officers and men of the Youzhou Army responded in unison: "The Youzhou Army is mighty!" The Youzhou Army is mighty! โ€

Gongsun continued to endure the pain in his chest, and roared hoarsely: "Fang Cai's reward is still valid, whoever captures the enemy's Sima Qi will be promoted to double the reward!" โ€

"Roar! Roar! Roar! "The Youzhou Army is in full swing.

Gongsun Xu slapped the white horse under his crotch, rode up the mound, and drew his sword to the north: "Kill into the white wolf camp and eat the enemy's flesh and blood!" โ€

In Gongsun Xu's bloody roar, the Youzhou army's iron flow was like fire, rolling northward.

Twenty miles away, the cavalry arrived in just a moment, and the Youzhou cavalry soon caught up with the retreating White Wolf Infantry Army. But before they could attack, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out of the oblique spur, and it was a random arrow from afar. Although the black light was blind and the accuracy was not good, he also overturned more than ten horses, which caused chaos among the Youzhou cavalry.

Soon, the Youzhou cavalry found out that this Biao man and horse were the enemy - the wolf's tooth flying horse.

The Youzhou cavalry was furious and chased after Hulala. Unexpectedly, they couldn't chase five miles, and the enemy cavalry was all drilled into a dense forest.

One of the taboos on the battlefield is not to enter the forest, let alone the dark night when you can't see ten steps. Looking at the dark forest in front of them, even if the Youzhou cavalry immediately swallowed the gall of two leopards, they did not dare to enter.

When the Youzhou cavalry angrily beat their horses and returned, they looked around, and the four fields were dark, where was there still a trace of the white wolf infantry army?

Soon after, Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Ji led the front and rear armies to arrive, and got an urgent report from the cavalry: the White Wolf Army had retreated into the White Wolf Camp, and the cavalry of the army pursued all the way, which was able to catch the tail of the White Wolf Army.

Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Ji were overjoyed, and immediately ordered that the front army march at full speed, and the rear army will follow up. However, this time, Gongsun Xu did not dare to be reckless, and appointed two military horses to lead the front army to assault, and he stayed honestly in the rear army.

After a short time, the front army came with good news, and they had captured the south gate of the white wolf camp and entered the city.

The two Gongsun were overjoyed, and Gongsun Ji hurriedly urged: "The eldest son quickly commands the attack and takes the White Wolf Camp as much as possible, so as not to suffer the enemy's ...... on his back."

Gongsun nodded again and again, more than ten miles away from their side, is the White Wolf City, the base camp of the White Wolf Army, and after a long time, the White Wolf City will send troops to help at any time. Gongsun Xu ordered the five hundred auxiliary soldiers of the rear army to surround the southeast of the baggage vehicle into a semicircle, distribute some bows, crossbows, knives and spears, and be led by a military marquis to guard the White Wolf City. More than 100 cavalry were transferred to ambush at the west gate of the White Wolf Camp. As soon as you see an enemy fleeing, you immediately intercept and kill them. The rest of the army, both regular and auxiliary, rushed into the inner city and swept away the remnants of the enemy.

When Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Ji led hundreds of soldiers to rush to the city of the White Wolf Camp, they were surprised to find that there was no imaginary fierce resistance in the city, only a faint noise. Could it be that the White Wolf Army's heart has broken and given up resistance?

The two looked at each other head-on, hesitating. More than a dozen torches suddenly appeared on the head of the city, and a group of Youzhou sergeants poked their heads out and greeted loudly: "Captain, Changshi, the enemy army is scattered, some flee out of the city, and some are hiding in the night, we have taken this city!" โ€

At this moment, Gongsun continued to hang his heart for a long time, and finally fell into his stomach - it's not easy! It's not easy! This battle. The fight was too difficult, and the combat power of the White Wolf Army was about to catch up with the Jizhou Army......

Before Gongsun Xu could finish his emotion, the soldiers screamed in horror - hundreds of people screamed one after another. Almost deafening.

Gongsun Xu turned his head in shock, and when he met Gongsun Ji's equally frightened gaze, both of them had their mouths open and closed, and they were both talking at the top of their voices. But they couldn't hear anything from each other. Their voices have been drowned out by the loud voices of hundreds of people, and the huge voices of hundreds of people. It was covered by the earth-shattering roar of thousands of horsemen......

In the darkness, countless torches suddenly appeared in the originally dark northern wilderness, like a sky full of stars. If every torch represents a cavalryman, God! There must be no thousands of riders!

"Into town! Fast into town! Gongsun Ji shouted so loudly that his vocal cords were torn.

Although Gongsun Xu, who was close at hand, couldn't hear what he was saying at all, the deputy's frequent gestures pointing to the city gate were still easy to understand. In fact, there is no need for Gongsun Ji to say more, even the hundreds of small soldiers behind them rushed towards the city gate without a fateful price.

Gongsun Xu, under the desperate escort of more than ten servants, beat his horse like flying, ran across the drawbridge, and rushed into the city. At the moment of passing through the city gate, Gongsun Xu subconsciously glanced back, Gongsun Ji did not follow behind, but was squeezed by the rebels who rushed into the city at the drawbridge, unable to advance or retreat, and his face was full of despair......

This was the last time Gongsun Xu saw his long history. It was a service, and Gongsun Ji was not in the chaos of the army.

The Liaodong Army is coming! The Karasuma people are here!

In the darkness, the Liaodong Karasuma coalition army did not know the origin of the hundreds of men and horses gathered at the south gate of the White Wolf Camp, they only knew that the gate of the White Wolf Camp was wide open, and the drawbridge was not closed, which simply welcomed them.

In the face of the surprise of the answer, Gongsun Mo laughed proudly, and after laughing, he revealed the secret to the answer: This is actually the credit of Liaodong Neiying in the White Wolf Camp.

The White Wolf Army has 8,000, at least 2,000 of which are transported from Liaodong, from officers to soldiers, and many people's families are in Liaodong, so it is not difficult to develop a few weighty works from it.

Opening the door at night and holding a fire as a signal is exactly what was agreed in advance, and everything was planned. The only thing that happened was that somehow, a group of people gathered at the city gate. Did you find something and want to open the door to fight? Hehe! So, let's try the taste of Liaodong Iron Riding and Karasuma Sudden Cavalry!

Gongsun Mo, Datou, and Wang Tong ordered at the same time that three thousand horsemen would rush to the White Wolf City to set off a wave of blood.

March 29 of the second year of Xingping, a bloody night.

Gongsun continued nearly 2,000 Youzhou troops, and 3,000 cavalry of the Liaodong Karasuma coalition army, crowded in the white wolf camp of less than one square kilometer in the dark night, like two caged fighting beasts, starting a crazy fight, and the city was full of blood.

If it was outside the city, and it was dawn, the Youzhou army, which was almost entirely infantry, would basically be slaughtered in the face of three thousand cavalry, but in the narrow and many obstacles in the city, the combat effectiveness of the infantry was bonus, and it was on par with the cavalry.

The Youzhou army actually didn't want to fight at all, as early as when the coalition army broke through the city, they wanted to flee for their lives. However, there are two gates of the White Wolf Camp, one of which is constantly pouring into enemy horses, and the other gate is inexplicably blocked by rocks...... What else can they do but fight for their lives?

The bloody battle continued into the early hours of the morning, with heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, when the coalition army invested thousands of foot soldiers, the Youzhou army was completely annihilated.

Gongsun continued to be covered with a body, and under the cover of Hu Servant's death, he fled over the wall, and was rescued by the nearly 100 Youzhou cavalry who had been deployed earlier to intercept outside the West Gate. Later, he was chased and killed by hundreds of allied cavalry, and the Youzhou cavalry was killed, and Gongsun Xu was only spared and fled back to Youbeiping.

The snipe and the mussel fight, the mussel is broken, the beak of the snipe is broken, where is the fisherman? (To be continued......)
