Chapter 649: Soldiers are coming to the city

I don't know if the blessing of Master Wuxiang is really useful, General Zhenguo is really a lucky general, after entering the northern border, everything has been smooth so far.

For example, now, before the war, God seemed to be intentionally helping. When General Zhenguo ordered the repair, the wind swept the yellow sand all over the sky, and the people who blew it couldn't open their eyes.

And when he finished sending his troops to set up the formation, the direction of the wind suddenly changed. The fierce wind began to subside, and the yellow sand around the battlefield gradually dissipated, and the vision began to improve.

"Speed up!" General Zhenguo pointed the long sword in his hand to the sky: "Seize the opportunity, don't give the Rong Di people a chance to react." ”

With his order, even the infantry accelerated and ran, and the two lieutenants who served as the vanguard led two teams of cavalry to begin to accelerate the charge, behind the cavalry, the generals led their own phalanx of troops, directly according to the previous arrangement of the general Zhenguo, in the shape of a crescent, from the south-east of Shuozhou from the rear to surround up.

The west side of Shuozhou is closely leaning on Yunwang Mountain, and there is no road, so the Rongdi people only need to block the north, east and south gates to besiege the city. In the Yunwang Valley to the north, as long as you choke the throat that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will be difficult for the Shuozhou defenders to break through, and besides, it makes no sense for the Shuozhou defenders to break through from the north.

Therefore, north of Shuozhou City, General Rong Di did not arrange many soldiers and horses at all, and he mainly arranged soldiers and horses in the southeast and southeast of Shuozhou, especially south of Shuozhou, there is an important passage connecting Danzhou and Weizhou, so most of the troops are concentrated here.

The scouts sent by General Zhenguo found out the situation, so General Zhenguo also gathered most of his army in the direction of the south, while the two vanguards who served as captains were on the far left side of the line, charging from east to west, with the aim of breaking up the siege of the Rongdi people and cutting the Rongdi army in two.

If he can successfully cause a cut-off, General Zhenguo intends to use the main force to contain the Rongdi people near the south gate of Shuozhou, creating a larger gap, so that the defenders of Shuozhou can join forces with the reinforcements.

General Zhenguo was very confident in Mu Chengde, the famous general who defended the city, and he thought that as long as he could open a hole in the encirclement of the Rongdi people, it would not be easy for them to enclose it again.

General Zhenguo is not a cowardice who has never fought a war, he guarded the southwest for more than 20 years when he was young, and was transferred back to the capital to command Jin Lingwei at the age of forty, so although he is not as good as General Mu's general military achievements, but he is not a battlefield novice with no battlefield experience, so his command can be regarded as decent, simple and effective.

The horn of the charge sounded, the vanguard cavalry took the lead, rushing towards the besieging Rongdi people, the defenders of Shuozhou soon discovered the change in the situation on the battlefield, and the letter soldiers in charge of the lookout immediately raised the flag, and the Shuozhou soldiers were surprised to see the flag.

"Reinforcements have finally arrived!" Several lieutenant generals were so excited that they couldn't speak clearly: "General! They've finally arrived! We are saved! ”

"Hold your breath." Mu Chengde still had the calm appearance of the eight winds: "Order the troops, each lead the team and wait for the battle, and you must not act rashly, and you are only allowed to charge out of the city with my order." ”

"Yes!" Everyone got the order and started to act one after another, Mu Chengde waved at Mu Tieyi: "Tieyi, take your people and follow me to the city wall." ”

Mu Tieyi was armed with archers, and he immediately ordered his men to equip all the remaining arrows, and followed Mu Chengde up the city wall, ready to cooperate with the city to break through.

The battle had already started outside, the sound of swords and shouts of killing continued, and it was very lively, but Shuozhou City was even quieter, and the soldiers clenched their swords, with the solemnity on their faces before the war. Mu Chengde governed the army very strictly, and the soldiers ordered it to be forbidden, so at the moment, even if the Shuozhou defenders were excited, they were all patiently waiting for the general's orders and did not dare to act rashly.

Mu Chengde frowned tightly, looking down at the battle situation, and soon, the vanguard cavalry sent by General Zhenguo broke through the encirclement of the Rongdi people, and the army surrounded it, directly sandwiching the Rongdi people south of Shuozhou in the center.

Although the situation on the battlefield seemed to be very good, Mu Tieyi, who was standing with Mu Chengde, also frowned: "The formation seems to be a little chaotic. ”

"Not strange." Mu Chengde replied: "Most of the reinforcements in the capital have never really been on the battlefield, they have come here from Jueyu Mountain, and they have probably never experienced a real tough battle, and lack of experience is inevitable. Don't worry, you will get better after a fight, look at the arrangement of troops, the general who commands the reinforcements does not look like an inexperienced person, maybe transferred from the southwest. ”

Mu Tieyi squinted and looked into the crowd, but after watching for a long time, he didn't understand who was in charge. Mu Chengde turned his head and glanced at Mu Tieyi, and pointed in a certain direction under the city: "There." The boss is over there. See, there is a tight encirclement, which should protect the people in the middle. That's not good. The terrain here is very flat, and if the Rongdi gather cavalry, it will be easy to break up their protective circle......"

Mu Chengde hasn't finished his words yet. General Rong Di under the city really began to command the cavalry to turn around and charge in the direction pointed by Mu Chengde, the team led by General Zhenguo still lacked battlefield experience, and was rushed by Rong Di people like this, the team looked more chaotic, and the tight encirclement began to have gaps.

"Fourth uncle?" Mu Tieyi turned his head and looked at Mu Chengde inquiringly.

"There's no hurry." Mu Chengde stared at the battlefield situation closely, his expression was still calm: "We have few people, we must pick the best time to attack, so as to form a flank attack on the Rongdi people." Rest assured, they have begun to regroup their formation, and the reinforcements from Beijing, no matter how poor and inexperienced they are, will not let people capture the main general in the first battle. ”

As an experienced and famous general on the battlefield, Mu Chengde is of course confident and accurate in judging the battlefield situation. But the reinforcements who are currently fighting against the Rongdi people are not as confident as Mu Chengde.

The Rong Di people organized a formation to rush to the protective circle of the main general, not to mention the young generals who went into battle for the first time, and even the general Zhenguo himself, who had not been on the battlefield for twenty years, was a little panicked.

Fortunately, he was just panicking, on the surface, General Zhenguo was still very calm, and he still tried to give orders again, trying to adjust the scattered formation. It's a pity that the battlefield experience of those temporarily recruited shield soldiers is really insufficient, and when they saw the horse team of the Rong Di people rushing over, they subconsciously gave way to both sides, and they leaked a gap.

"Hold your spot, don't move!"

"Protect the General!"

The surrounding generals were giving orders to the soldiers under their command one by one, but it backfired, the soldiers shook their heads and didn't know who to listen to, and ran around like flies, which made the formation even more chaotic.
