Xu Rong is very good at waiting, and he has been waiting for the best time to make a move.

He only left a small number of soldiers around the Grange to defend, in order to prevent the enemy outside from seeing through his plan so early, and all the remaining soldiers were gathered here, and they would attack at the first order of his order.

He is not in a hurry, although the battlefield is changing rapidly, he must not be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, it will be chaotic, and you will make a lot of decisions that you shouldn't have. Waiting is not to do nothing, but to find a suitable moment to catch the fleeting fighter plane with a fatal blow.

Xu Rong heard shouts in the distance, heard human voices, heard the sound of the earthen wall collapsing, and heard the news from his soldiers.

"General, the enemy has broken through the earthen wall and is heading inside." A soldier rode a horse to Xu Rong's annual review and spoke.

Although he was in the center of the Grange, Xu Rong had a complete understanding of the situation around the Grange, and no matter what happened to him, he could not escape his ears and eyes. He sent special summons soldiers to wait on horseback in places where a place could be observed, and as soon as there was the latest news, such soldiers would gallop and relay the changes to him and prepare him.

Everything around is under Xu Rong's control.

From the beginning he was not going to defend, there was no intention of defending the Grange, there was no need. The Grange has lost its usefulness and can be abandoned, but before it can be abandoned, it needs to deal a fatal blow to the enemy in the shadows.

Otherwise, if he really wants to defend, Xu Rong is also confident that he can defend the Grange without leaking. But it didn't work, after a fight, even if you hold the Grange, there are all kinds of troubles, it's not worth doing this thing.

The time has come.

The situation was even better than Xu Rong thought in his heart, and his waiting was actually waiting for an opportunity for the cavalry to charge. This opportunity cannot appear too early, nor too late, only when it is just right, can the cavalry exert the greatest effect and exert the greatest combat power.

If you rush too early, it will be impossible to keep the horsepower in full condition, and it will also allow the enemy to have more to deal with.

Rushing too late, the enemy is too close, and the horsepower is not at its peak.

Only if it is not fast or slow, and the time is just right, that is when the cavalry is strong, and it is also the time when the cavalry needs it most!

There is also the location, the plain is the best terrain for cavalry, and the horse can burst out on the plain at the fastest speed.

Luoyang City is located in the plain terrain, and Luoyang is also surrounded by a plain, which is a unique terrain for cavalry. If there were no fortified fortresses that could resist the onslaught of cavalry, most of the army would have been eaten up by cavalry on the plains.

From the Grange, there are many ditches in the crisscrossed fields, but this will not be an obstacle. Not all of them were fields, those roads were the best roads for cavalry, and Xu Rong already knew where the enemy was at the main gate.

The location he chose was the main gate, large enough for the cavalry to charge smoothly without a bit of astringency. Otherwise, at the rear door, or when the enemy breaks into the grange, the cavalry will have no effect, and will be confined by the narrow space.

What Xu Rong wants is a hearty victory, not a hard battle. Not all of his troops were cavalry, a large part of them were infantry, but cavalry was the most important thing, and it was the most important thing in his plan.

Break through the enemy's formation with cavalry, divide them, cover them with infantry, and then it's a logical killing.

What he was waiting for was the moment when the enemy would pass through the gates! The soldiers who remained there also created an opportunity for the cavalry to charge from the inside out when the enemy passed through the gate.

But not now, because the time has come. The timing was the collapsed courtyard wall, and the courtyard wall fell, and for the cavalry, it was the terrain of a flat river. This was much better than the gate connecting the inner and outer roads, at least, so that the cavalry could charge without hindrance, and could go straight ahead.

"All the troops obey the order, follow me forward and kill the enemy!" Xu Rong gave the order and rode his horse towards the gate.

Behind him were hundreds of cavalry, and two or three hundred more infantry than the cavalry. It's just that Xu Rong controlled the speed, and the soldiers behind him also controlled the speed of moving forward according to his speed, and there was no such thing as rushing directly to the gate to meet the enemy.

This distance is not enough, for Xu Rong must be closer, closer, so that he can kill as many enemies as possible, so that the enemy does not have much time to react. Otherwise, let the cavalry charge at the beginning, and by the time they reach the enemy, they will be exhausted, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground will reveal their presence early.

As for whether the soldiers he kept at the gate could defend against the enemy's attack, Xu Rong knew that it was possible, but it was not possible now. With the earthen walls of the Grange already collapsing, they would have no effect on holding the gate, and they should retreat on their own.

The order he gave was not to defend to the death, but to let the guards at the main gate depend on the situation, and after an irreparable accident, they would retreat towards the inside of the grange. It can reduce the damage of soldiers as much as possible, and it can lure the enemy, killing two birds with one stone.

It was closer, and the avenue in the middle of the grange was facing the location of the main gate, and by the time Xu Rong was now located, it was already more than a hundred meters away. This distance is exactly the distance that Xu Rong wants, which can allow the cavalry to accumulate the fastest speed, and can also make the enemy have no way to escape!

As soon as the cavalry's horses run, how can a person's two legs run over? What's more, if you are caught off guard, you may not be able to run a few steps, you can only become a trampled flesh or a ghost under a gun.

Gently exhaling outward, Xu Rong's spear went straight ahead, and he shouted: "Charge with me!" "The first horse has already ridden out, let go of the speed of the war horse under the seat, and galloped to his heart's content.

Behind him, hundreds of cavalry lined up in unison, and as soon as Xu Rong's order fell into their ears, they immediately followed and galloped out. Behind the cavalry, the well-trained infantry also ran quickly and followed closely behind the cavalry.

At first, the speed was about the same, but gradually the cavalry opened up the distance, but the distance from the infantry was not to the point of completely throwing off, that is, once the cavalry broke through the enemy formation, the next infantry would completely tear apart the enemy formation.
