"The whole army stops, set up in place!" Cheng Yanjin is worthy of being an experienced veteran, and when he saw that the situation was not quite right, he did not rush forward to rescue the Longzhou soldiers who were rushed into disarray, but ordered the whole army to stop the pace of pursuit, and lined up a defensive formation outside the Xuande Gate of the East Palace - the number of enemy troops rushing to kill was not much, that is, seven or eight hundred troops, but all cavalry, and because of the defense of the city, whether it was the Nanya army led by Old Man Cheng or the Longzhou soldiers, they were all on foot at this time, if they were in chaos in this dark night, It can only be the result of being scattered by the cavalry.

Cheng Biting Jin's measures are undoubtedly the best contingency measures in the chaotic battle of this dark night, and the Nanya Army is also worthy of the name of a strong army, although it seems a little chaotic because of the suddenness of the incident, but it quickly stabilized, and hurriedly lined up a defensive formation in the small square in front of the palace gate, although it was chaotic and not panicked, the action was very fast, only the unlucky Longzhou soldiers who came to the aid from Chengtianmen, were attacked by the Hou family army and the cavalry who came up from behind, and the entire formation completely collapsed, and was killed to the point of urine, and resisted desperately, However, the general trend has gone, and in addition to the heavy casualties, they have to scatter and flee.

Wang Feng and the other cadres of the Hou family saw that the Longzhou soldiers who were blocking the road were scattered, and they had the pleasure of escaping from death, so they rushed out with a roar, trying to join forces with the incoming cavalry, and then turned around to attack Cheng Biting Jin's department, but something unexpected happened - the group of cavalry who rushed to kill did not stop the war horses that rushed forward after defeating the Longzhou soldiers, but accelerated again to rush towards the Hou family soldiers who escaped death. Originally, the soldiers of the Hou family, who were fortunate to be able to escape from death, immediately collapsed completely, not to mention resisting, even if they couldn't escape, they were killed in a blink of an eye, and a large number of people were killed, and the remnants of the troops ran around like headless flies, or even some unlucky people turned around and ran towards the array of the Southern Ya Army, and were unceremoniously killed in front of the formation by the Southern Ya Army, which had already set up the formation.

After the attacking cavalry defeated the Longzhou soldiers and the Houjia army, they did not directly crash into the Nanya army lined up in a tight defensive formation, but drove to the right, swept by the front twenty zhang of the Nanya army's formation, made a circle in the small square, readjusted the cavalry formation, and then killed the Nanya army from a distance like a sharp arrow, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the night sky, its fierceness, Rao is most of the Nanya army are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they can't stop the fear in their hearts, Many people's wrists with guns trembled uncontrollably.

Unstoppable! Cheng biting Jin Rong horse all his life, the battlefield is very experienced, as soon as he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, he knew that the cavalry in front of him was extremely well-trained, and it was not at all something that his infantry could resist - if this cavalry army had just killed the Longzhou soldiers and the Hou family army, and immediately attacked the Nanya army, Cheng Yanjin still had the confidence to take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's horse speed decline and the loss of impact power to surround and kill the other party, but obviously the commander of the other party had already guessed the intention of the Nanya army's formation, and went around the small square. The speed of the horse rose again, the impact force was guaranteed, and the cavalry that sprinted up between the flat ground was not at all what the current Nanya army without archers could withstand, once the two armies collided head-on, the unlucky one could only be the Nanya army!

"Withdraw to the palace gate!" Cheng Biting Jin is a tiger general, but he is not a reckless man, he will not do the stupid thing of touching the stone with an egg, seeing that there is nothing to do, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, and in an instant, the Nanya army, whose momentum was taken, was squeezed into a ball in a panic, and swarmed to retreat into the Xuande Gate, which was not too wide.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The cavalry that came after shouted and rushed into the back of the chaotic Nanya army, so that the whole son was killed, and hundreds of unlucky Nanya soldiers were cut to the ground, but because of the blocking of the crowd, although the Biao cavalry army was struggling to kill, it could not kill the Nanya army for a while, and the horse speed slowed down irrepressibly, and was forced to stop the pursuit in front of the steps outside the palace gate, and it was impossible to launch an attack - the Nanya army that retreated into the palace gate first had moved the palace belongings and other things, and sealed the palace gate, Moreover, the follow-up archers of the Nanya army had also arrived at this time, and regardless of the fact that there were still many Nanya officers and soldiers who were scattered and fled outside the palace gate, a dense array of arrow feathers covered the past, and a large area was shot down in an instant, and the remaining cavalry had to retreat to avoid the attack of the rain of arrows, and the offensive attacking the palace gate was forced to stop.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" In the midst of the chaos, a tall knight gave a loud order to retreat, and hundreds of cavalry turned their horses' heads one after another, retreated from outside the Xuande Gate, fled along the small square into the dark and dreary East Street, and roared away.

It's dangerous, it's really dangerous! Seeing that the attacking cavalry disappeared into the darkness, Cheng Yanjin's tense nerves were finally relieved - if it weren't for the archers to arrive immediately and let the cavalry rush again, the Nanya Army would have to collapse the whole army, once the cavalry army rushed into the palace gate, the Nanya Army would not be able to retreat to the Tongxun Gate, if so, the unguarded Tongxun Gate would definitely be lost, and once the chaotic army rushed into the inner court, the consequences would not be something Cheng Yanjin could afford.

Although the enemy army has retreated, it may not be possible to turn back suddenly, Cheng Yanjin did not dare to be careless at all, and when the enemy cavalry just left, he immediately ordered in a loud voice: "The whole army has withdrawn to the training gate, and no one is allowed to fight without the order of the general!" As soon as this order was given, the originally frightened Nanya officers and soldiers immediately turned back and swarmed towards the Tongxun Gate, and the remnants of the Nanya Army who were still outside the palace gate and the Longzhou soldiers who were killed and scattered gathered together, and they were nervously guarding outside the Xuande Gate, but they no longer dared to pursue the scattered Hou family soldiers.

The Nanya army withdrew, but Cheng Biting Jin did not withdraw, but under the cover of the guards around him, he walked out of the Xuande Gate, and ignored the pries of the defeated soldiers, strode to the vicinity of more than a dozen killed enemy cavalry soldiers, and by the light of the torches, leaned over and searched for those corpses.

The battle-hardened old man Cheng was originally from Wagangzhai, and he was very neat in the work of battlefield looting, and he found what he was looking for from the waist of the war dead in three or two clicks - a waist card! The waist card is not big, that is, one inch wide and two inches long, the surface of the bamboo waist card is painted with black and heavy paint, and there are only a few lines of small characters on it, which is not a very surprising thing, but such a small thing makes the old man Cheng sweat profusely, his hand trembled, and the waist card almost got out of his hand, and his face was even more difficult to see the extreme, and he stood for a long time, and suddenly jumped up as if he had woken up, and did not speak, and hurriedly turned around and entered the Xuande Gate, and rushed straight to the Tongxun Gate along the avenue in the East Palace......

Even if it is not too close, the defenders standing on the tower of Chengtianmen can still hear the fierce shouts and wails, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, is pacing back and forth in front of the city gate tower with a restless heart, not that he is worried that the troops who go to reinforce will have any accidents, but he is worried about the safety of the Chengtianmen area - yes, Chengtianmen is the main gate of the palace, and its palace wall is far thicker and taller than other places. But the problem is that there are three gates open in this area in the south - the middle is the Chengtian Gate, the left is the Yong'an Gate, the right is the Changle Gate, the square in front of the palace wall is open, there is no danger to defend, with 3,000 Longzhou soldiers and the 2,000 Yulin Army attached to it It is a difficult thing to defend such a wide front, and now it has been transferred away 2,000 Longzhou soldiers, and the troops are even more stretched, although this is far away from the inner court, it is not the best route to attack the inner court, and it has never been attacked by thieves, and even harassment. But Li Daozong didn't dare to guarantee that Hou Junji would not take the opportunity to attack here, especially after seeing the ceremonial flower blooming in the night sky above the Xuanwu Gate, Li Daozong's worry in his heart was even greater, and he ordered all the men and horses in his department to go up to the palace wall early, and closely guard the movement in the square outside the palace to prevent Hou Junji from taking advantage of the situation.

What you are afraid of is really something, just when Li Daozong was uneasy, the rumbling footsteps sounded at the far end of the square, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed into the square with torches in their hands, and they didn't have a whole team, so they rushed towards the palace wall, but they didn't go straight to the Chengtianmen with the strongest defenders, but they killed the Changle Gate, which was the farthest away from the inner court, and this change made Li Daozong's complexion change greatly - the three palace gates in the area of Chengtianmen were lined up, and you could go directly to the Taiji Hall from the Chengtianmen Palace. Bypass the Taiji Hall to go straight to the Zhu Ming Gate where the inner court is located, after breaking through this gate, it is where the inner court is, and after entering the palace from the Changle Gate, it is still necessary to pass through the Zhongshu Inner Examination, Sheren Courtyard and other buildings to rush into the square in front of the Taiji Palace, the road is extremely tortuous, and it is not a good place to enter the army, so Li Daozong did not arrange the limited defense facilities at hand, such as heavy weapons such as ballistas in Changle Gate, but now the thieves are going straight to Changle Gate, so how can Li Daozong not be shocked to sweat profusely, after all, the troops can be mobilized, But the defensive weapons could not be transported in time, and the situation was already extremely unfavorable!

"Follow this king! Kill the thief! Li Daozong was in a hurry, didn't think much about it, shouted and led his troops along the palace wall and went straight to Changle Gate, but something unexpected happened again - the chaotic soldiers who rushed to kill just shouted loudly but did not attack, but stopped at the far end of the square, lined up in a circle, a defensive posture, so that Li Daozong was at a loss and a little confused, and when he was hesitating, a rumbling horse's hooves sounded again on the East Street, and another group of soldiers and horses roared into the square, and there was a "Wei Wang Li" in the queue Under the reflection of the torches, the banner was clearly visible, and as soon as the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wangfu arrived, they did not pause at all, and roared towards the chaotic soldiers who had just lined up in formation.

"Ignorant child!" Hou Junji, who was sitting on a tall horse, was in the center of the circle at the moment, and only glanced at the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wangfu who were rushing to kill, snorted disdainfully, waved his hand, and ordered loudly: "A hundred steps ahead, release the arrow!" Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows shot out from the circle like flying locusts, and the forty-five-degree arrow rain with a strong roar covered the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wangfu who rushed to kill, and in an instant, dozens of horses rushed to the front into hedgehogs, and the cavalry on the back couldn't help but be in chaos, and it was too late to adjust the charging formation, but seeing Hou Junji shouting: "The cavalry attack!" The circle suddenly opened a gap, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out with a roar, quickly killing into the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wangfu who were caught off guard, and a bloody battle unfolded fiercely in the square.

The total number of soldiers and horses rushed to the square in the Wei Wangfu was about 2,000, of which more than 550 cavalry cavalry rushed in the front, and the rear was full of infantry, both in terms of total strength and the number of cavalry, which exceeded the more than 400 cavalry sent out by Hou Junji, but the problem was that the original impact formation was stifled by the rain of arrows, and it was being adjusted.

The commander of the Wei Wangfu came to the first master of the palace, Wan Chongshan, although this person was born in the rivers and lakes, but he was quite familiar with the art of battle formations, seeing that his team was rushed into chaos, he was suddenly anxious, and cut off a soldier of the Hou family who rushed to the side with a knife, and shouted: "Don't panic!" The cavalry and the old man went up, and the infantry retreated to form a formation! As soon as the words fell, he led dozens of masters around him to step forward and strangled with the cavalry of the Hou family's army, and the cavalry of the Wei Wangfu in the chaos heard the order and moved forward bravely, and the cavalry of the two sides chased me in the square and fought together, and the Wei Wangfu infantry who had a chance to breathe hurriedly took the opportunity to retreat, and under the command of the officers, they hurriedly set up a semi-circular defensive array, and were nervously on guard.

It is true that there are many masters of the Wei Dynasty, but when it comes to cavalry tactics, it is obviously inferior to the boss of the Hou family's army, and the cavalry of the two sides is fierce, but the victory and defeat are very fast - with the continuous interspersed and rolling of the cavalry of the Hou family's army, the cavalry of the Wei Wangfu that was originally superior in numbers was gradually divided into several disconnected places, constantly encroaching on the vitality of the Wei Wangfu cavalry, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the victory and defeat were already clear - the defeat of the Wei Wangfu was defeated, The remaining more than 200 horsemen retreated in embarrassment under the response of the masters led by Wanzhong Mountain, and finally picked up their lives with the reinforcements of the bows and arrows of the foot soldiers, and the cavalry of the Hou family army did not take the opportunity to launch a strong attack and retreated into the main formation.

Embarrassing, extremely embarrassing! Faced with the end of the loss of the army, Wanzhongshan was depressed enough, but he couldn't say that he had bitterness - Hou Junji's main force would appear in Chengtianmen, this one of the palace's Sima Su Miao was analyzed, and the purpose of sending Wanzhongshan to lead the troops was originally intended to take advantage of Hou Junji's siege war, attack its back road, and defeat Hou Junji before the arrival of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and make a big contribution, but he didn't expect Hou Junji to arrive at Chengtianmen, but he never launched a siege war, but instead lined up as a camp and plotted against the Wei Wangfu, and now the loss of men and horses is small, The morale is frustrated, whether to attack again, Wanzhongshan really can't make up this mind.

Wan Chongshan couldn't make up his mind, but Hou Junji didn't plan to let go of the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wangfu - the cavalry of the Hou family army had just withdrawn into the formation, and Hou Junji shouted coldly: "Change the formation!" "As soon as the order was given, more than 2,000 Hou family troops immediately changed formations, but when they saw the torches flashing, the figures shuttled and changed, but between breaths, the originally circular defensive array had become a triangular assault array, and the cavalry charge formation led by Hou Junji at the forefront of the formation was lined up.

"Attack!" Hou Junji did not wait for the foot soldiers behind him to completely line up the array, shouted, and rushed towards the array of the Wei Wangfu personal guards who were hastily arrayed, and the hundreds of cavalry and nearly two thousand foot soldiers behind each shouted loudly to kill the generals, swarming over the previous cavalry battlefield, and rushing towards the queue of the Wei Wangfu like a tide.

"Kill the thief! All the army is attacking! Seeing that the Hou Jiajun was menacing, Wan Chongshan did not dare to slack off, shouted, and rushed out first, and the frightened guards of the Wei Wangfu also hurriedly followed and killed, and the two crowds collided together at high speed in the square.

When it comes to personal combat strength, Wei Wangfu is only afraid that it will be stronger than the Hou family's army, but the problem is that this kind of big battle in the dark night is not a competition of individual martial arts, but a contest of group discipline, cooperative combat ability and even night combat training level. As soon as the two armies collided head-on, the victory and defeat were already clear - Hou Junji's side put out a triangular assault formation, which was already unstoppable, and the original semi-circular defensive array arranged by Wanzhong Mountain was not defended on the spot, but rushed up, trying to meet the impact of Hou Junji, so that the formation was not a formation, not to mention that the Wei Wangfu side had just been defeated, and the morale was low, how could it withstand the impact of the Hou family's army, after a face, the formation of the Wei Wangfu collapsed completely, The square was full of routs from the Wei Palace, and they all wanted their fathers and mothers to have a few more feet and hug their heads.

Seeing that it was only a quarter of an hour from the appearance of the reinforcements of the Wei Wangfu to the collapse of the army, Li Daozong, who was standing on the gate tower of Changle Gate, suddenly turned pale, and he could see it very clearly with his years of experience in fighting - at present, this Hou family army is definitely not trivial, although the number is not too much, but whether it is personal combat strength or training level, it is definitely far above the Nanya army, Hou Junji dares to attack the palace with such a small number of troops to attack the palace covered by a thick city wall, there must be other trump cards to rely on, With only the less than 1,000 Longzhou soldiers and the 2,000 Yulin officers and soldiers who could basically ignore their existence, whether they could resist Hou Junji's strong attack, Li Daozong didn't have any idea in his heart.

"All troops on alert!" Li Daozong waved the long sword in his hand, drove the panicked soldiers under his command into position, and prepared to meet Hou Junji's siege, of course, he did not forget to send someone to the inner court to find Li Shimin urgently.

"Look, Lord Wang!" Just as Li Daozong was busy arranging defense, a personal guard suddenly shouted, pointing to the East Street at the end of the square, his face full of excitement.

Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly poked his head out of the city saucer, but heard a horn sound at the East Street, and more than a thousand cavalry slowly came out of the dark night.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as soon as Li Zhen arrived, the soldiers of the Yulin Army who were all over the city immediately cheered loudly, even the silent Longzhou soldiers showed a relieved look on their faces, only Li Daozong not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but sank his face, and looked thoughtfully at the cavalry of the Yue Wangfu who slowly walked into the square, and the look on his face was cloudy......
