The city gate slowly opened, and the two thousand officers and soldiers who broke through the siege rushed out of the city with a roar, and the rebels outside the city seemed to have not expected the officers and soldiers to break through, and they were quickly opened a gap by the officers and soldiers.

"Rush!"

"Kill it!"

In his opinion, the rebels besieging the city were only a thousand men, and it was obvious that the main direction of attack of the rebels was on the other side, with twice the strength of their own side and the cover on the city wall, the success of the breakthrough was a smooth thing.

While scolding the silly forks of his colleagues who volunteered to stay behind, he quickly broke through to the west with the team.

Zhongwan County has a humid climate, lush vegetation, and large and small woods are everywhere, which is the case in the west of Meilin Town.

The breakout team that fought out of the siege of the rebels quickly shook off the pursuit of the rebels, and the rebels did not seem to have much interest in pursuing them, and the main attention was still on the defenders in the city, which made the teeth of the breakout team breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go ahead and rest by the woods!" After the hot weather and the fight together, the Tooth General decided that the team should be allowed to recover their strength and find a way out.

He needs to think carefully about whether he wants to return to the building after escaping this time, or simply take this ticket to find a place to occupy the mountain and become the king.

To say that the patience of the generals in charge of the ambush of the rebel army was really good, seeing that the breakthrough team of the official army was slowly approaching the woods, he was stunned and pressed the team and did not launch an attack, until the breakthrough team sat down to rest in twos and threes, and then issued the order to attack.

Boom!

A cannon shot frightened the officers and soldiers.

I have to say that it is really useful to put a cannon before the raid, which has a breathtaking effect and can remind your own soldiers to attack.

After a short period of panic, he quickly calmed down, slowly gathered the officers and soldiers around him, and gradually organized an effective defense, and fought and retreated under the offensive of 3,000 soldiers and horses of the rebels.

Fortunately, the ambushed troops were killed from the woods, and their own formation was not very neat, which gave the officers and soldiers a short respite, but in this way, the two sides were stuck together, and for the officers and soldiers who were inferior in numbers and suffered a secret loss at the beginning, defeat was only a matter of time.

At the same time as the ambush began, the rebel troops besieging the town of Merlin suddenly strengthened the rhythm of the siege, and the defenders at the head of the city gradually became overwhelmed under the dense offensive of the besieging troops.

"Brother Wang, do you think the surrounding walls can be defended?" Marlowe couldn't help but ask as he watched worriedly as the wounded soldiers were constantly being carried off the wall.

"Whether you can hold it or not, the key depends on how long it takes General Qian to take down the opponent's camp." Wang Hao said thoughtfully.

"What if General Qian can't take the rebel camp?" Marlowe asked again.

"Huh." Wang Hao smiled.

Qian Yue has been paying close attention to the changes in the battle situation, he has already seen the signal of the departure of the breakthrough troops, he has been waiting, waiting for the best time to attack, he has to calculate when the breakthrough troops will fight with the opponent's ambush troops, he has to wait for when the siege troops can fight with the defenders of the city wall to be inseparable, only then can he ensure that he can not be affected by other external forces when he sneaks into the rebel camp.

Now, the time has come!

"Brothers! It's today, kill me! ”

With that, Qian Yue took the lead and rushed out of the woods.

There is no better morale boost than a commander taking the lead in a charge!

The ambush location Qian Yue chose was very close to the location of the rebel camp, a few hundred meters away, and a charge would take a minute or two.

This sudden arrival of the army surprised the commander of the rebel army, who was waiting for the good news at the moment, he had already received the news that the official army breakthrough force had been intercepted in the west of Merlin Town, and it was only a matter of time before this force was completely annihilated, and the troops besieging Merlin Town also told him that Merlin Town could be taken at any time, and at this juncture, where did another official army come to sneak attack.

It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that the army that was attacking his battalion that he believed that all this was true, but even at this moment, he didn't realize that he had fallen into Wang Hao's calculations from beginning to end, and thought that this army had come from elsewhere to reinforce it.

"Hold on to me! Find someone to break through and ask for help! Let the siege troops retreat for reinforcements! The rebel commander shouted hoarsely.

After experiencing the combat effectiveness of this officer and army unit with his own eyes, he clearly knew that this unit was definitely the main force of the officer and army, and it was the elite, and its combat effectiveness was definitely no less than that of the soldiers under his command. With twice the strength of the opponent's troops, it is completely impossible to hold the camp with the defensive capability of such a temporary battalion built overnight.

He had no idea that one moment he was waiting for the news of the victory, and the next moment the situation of the battle would change so dramatically.

Although he believed that even if his own thousand soldiers and horses were explained here, with the remaining troops, it would be enough to sweep away the officers and troops in Merlin Town, but sometimes the strength and weakness could not be simply calculated in this way, without him as a commander, the remaining rebel soldiers were just a plate of scattered sand, and the loss of the commander to strike a force was absolutely devastating.

"Huh? The siege troops at the east gate are retreating, and General Qian has already started! Wang Hao, who had been staring at the changes in the battle situation, was very keenly aware of the changes in the rebel army.

"That's right! They did start to retreat! Guo Dadao.

"The defenders of the city have begun to counterattack!" Marlowe said excitedly.

"You must bite them to the death, victory or defeat is here!" Seeing that his plan had been realized step by step, Wang Hao, who participated in this kind of war planning for the first time, was also extremely nervous and excited!

After the siege forces at the east gate began to retreat, the siege troops at the south and north gates, which had received the news, also began to retreat, intending to reinforce their own battalions that were being besieged.

The three generals who had been waiting for this moment for a long time commanded their officers and troops to launch a counter-charge against the rebels.

Although many of these officers and soldiers are local garrison troops, and many of them are on the battlefield for the first time, after the baptism of this cruel battle, all those who can survive will become the real elite of the officers and soldiers.

The besieging troops obviously did not expect that the officers and troops defending the city would still have the courage to attack in turn at this time, but under the urgency of the situation, they did not care about casualties at all, and rescuing the battalion was the first priority.
