……
A quarter of an hour later, on the southern wall of Zhaoliang City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Gang's sideburns stiffened, staring in disbelief at the army under the city with a red bottom dragon flag, and said in disbelief: "This is impossible!" How could it be such a coincidence?! ”
"Could it be providence?" Looking at the army under the city, Bai Keqiu's face was also ugly.
"Bullshit providence! The Immortal Heaven bless us orcs! Otherwise, this eastern kingdom will not fall into our hands! Wang Gang's sideburns said angrily.
Bai Keqiu opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
"There are traitors, there are traitors in the city! It must be so, and this traitor is still in a high position, otherwise it would be impossible to spread the news of Ben Khan's arrival in Zhaoliang in time! Wang Gang's sideburns were like crazy muttering to himself, and as he spoke, he looked at Bai Keqiu's gaze gradually becoming unkind.
"Your Highness, I followed the emperor all the way out of the woods! Even if you don't do as hard as you, you won't be able to do such a thing! Bai Keqiu hurriedly cleared it up.
Wang Gang's sideburns pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, you can't be that traitor, the traitor must be some human official in the city!" ”
Seeing that Wang Gang's temples no longer doubted himself, Bai Keqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the topic and said: "Your Highness, no matter who the traitor is, it is not a top priority now, the army of Xiao thieves suddenly attacked the city, obviously wanting to block you in Zhaoliang City, so that the surrounding four provinces will be leaderless!" ”
Wang Gang's thoughts are similar to Bai Keqiu's, but they are a little deeper: "If I am not in Zhaoliang, even if Xiao Thief breaks or besieges this city, it may not be able to shake the situation in the five northwestern provinces, but I am here, and the officials of the surrounding five provinces cannot not die without saving them, otherwise the emperor will not be able to spare them, in this way, as long as Xiao Thief besieges this Zhaoliang City, he can rest and wait for work, and destroy the soldiers and horses of the provinces that came to the rescue one by one!" ”
Bai Keqiu's face instantly turned pale: "This is a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements?!" ”
Wang Gang's temples nodded, and he shook his head again: "This is a poisonous plan to destroy the elite of the five provinces in one fell swoop!" ”
"So what are we going to do?!" Bai Keqiu looked at Wang Gang's temples with blank eyes, and only hoped that this person could have a way to deal with it.
However, Wang Gangsideburns shook his head: "I don't have a plan!" For me now, only breaking through as soon as possible is the right choice! ”
"That's right! Breakthrough! I'll send an elite escort to the city!" Bai Keqiu slapped his face, and his eyes glowed.
Wang Gang's sideburns glanced at the city again, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Although the enemy shadow outside the city is huge, it seems that there are at least more than 20,000 war horses, but these war horses do not necessarily have a master, after all, if the world wants to block me in Zhaoliang, it is necessary to let his minions come quickly, and it is impossible for one person to match many horses." ”
Bai Keqiu nodded slightly, very convinced by Wang Gang's judgment: "Then Your Highness, how many enemy troops do you say there will be outside the city?" ”
"Wushan Pass is thousands of miles away from here, if you want to arrive in a few days, I am afraid that one person and three horses are not enough, at least four horses must be required!" Wang Gang's sideburns thought for a moment and said, "There are at least four thousand people outside the city, and at most five thousand!" ”
Hearing this, Bai Keqiu breathed a sigh of relief - if there were only a few thousand people, it would not be so difficult to break through.
"Xiao thief divided his troops into four ways and blocked my four gates of Zhaoliang, so the total number of enemy troops outside the city is less than 16,000, and the most is no more than 20,000!" Wang Gang's sideburns stared at the Chinese army that was encamped outside the city, slammed his fist on the battlements, and said with an annoyed face: "Xiao Thief is also arrogant!" Do you want to block my way with just such a few people?! You need to know that my orc iron rider is not mud! ”
Bai Keqiu also felt the humiliation of being underestimated, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's teach Xiao Thief a lesson!" Let him understand whose cavalry is the strongest in this world! ”
"Hmm." Wang Gang's temples nodded heavily, and he turned his head to stare at Bai Keqiu, "Right now, the enemy's foothold is not stable, Fox King, you order the 10,000 iron cavalry in the city to break through, and you must kill these human cubs outside the city for Ben Khan!" ”
"Order!" Bai Keqiu said yes and went to the bottom of the city wall.
Wang Gang's sideburns refocused his attention on the Chinese cavalry outside the city, and a hideous smile appeared on the big cat's face.
"Want to die? Ben Khan will make you perfect! ”
While Bai Keqiu was ordering troops, the light cavalry of the Central Empire outside the city had already dismounted, took out the dry food and beans on the horses, and fed their four mounts while filling their own hunger, looking leisurely, as if the enemy army in the city numbering as many as 80,000 people was like grass mustard in their eyes.
It was the Fourth Light Cavalry Division that blocked the south gate of Zhaoliang, but although they were all light cavalry brands, none of these people were actually light knights, and it was almost the same to say that they were dragoons.
The so-called dragoons are the ones who use war horses as mobile tools, but they still use infantry tactics on the battlefield, to play a more vivid analogy, these guys are infantry with cavalry speed.
Although the Fourth Light Cavalry Division is playing the "fourth" brand, it is a full old army, not only the whole division is equipped with neural network terminals, and has undergone countless realistic war tests in the virtual reality, many of which are still the veteran elites who followed Buchen all the way from Beijing Division Bei'an to the four towns of Wushan, take the division commander Xu Weizheng of this division as an example, he was once a member of the old dragoon regiment.
The Fourth Cavalry Division is so luxuriously equipped, and there are so many elite soldiers, you know how strong the combat effectiveness of this division is!
However, Bai Keqiu, who was aggressively ordering troops at this time, did not know this.
"Master, do you think they will really come out?" Xu Weizheng's guard stood on the stirrup and glanced at the city wall, and asked Xu Weizheng, who was feeding beans for the war horse, with some curiosity.
Xu Weizheng smiled faintly and said without raising his head: "The guys from the Army Staff Department have done a war situation deduction and determined that the enemy has a 90% chance of going out of the city to attack us, and the predictions of those people have always been very accurate, and Qu Cixiang also said so, I think it is eight or nine and ten!" ”
When the guard heard this, an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his still somewhat green face, and he jumped down from the saddle, grabbed his rifled gun, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "That's great! ”
Xu Weizheng looked at him helplessly: "Don't always think about going to the front line to make meritorious contributions, you are my personal guard, if even you go to the front line, how can my safety be guaranteed?" ”
The guard's face quickly became bitter: "Master, what's the danger of you staying in this formation?" Isn't that delaying me? ”
Xu Weizheng rolled his eyes: "Who said that there is no danger in this formation?" What if the enemy is desperate to charge into battle? Who will stand in the way of the cold arrows for me? ”
"You don't have long legs, just run by yourself!" The guard pouted.
"Hey, do you kid want me to be criticized by the political commissar and then shot by the military judge?!" Xu Weizheng asked angrily.
Hearing what Xu Weizheng said seriously, the guard sighed, and finally accepted his fate: "Forget it, just take my life, in order to prevent you from being criticized and then killed after you escape, this time I will leave you as a meat shield!" ”
"You kid who is not big or small!" Xu Weizheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although the guard is indeed a little irresponsible for his own work, if you know that this guard has given Xu Wei a meat shield hundreds of times in the virtual reality, and at least thirty times he has been shot or lost his head for the other party, you will understand his mood at this time - finally there is a real war to fight, but he still gives people the life of a meat shield, how can he not be frustrated and resist......
At this moment, suddenly, a few miles away from Zhaoliang City, there was a dull and tooth-sore "squeak" sound!
"This is?!" Xu Weizheng and the guards turned their eyes to the direction of the city gate almost at the same time, no need to ask, the enemy is coming out!
"The 10th Brigade left the horses in place, and the whole regiment advanced, and the battle column was in a horizontal formation!" Xu Weizheng shouted orders.
The guard in charge of holding the flag immediately took the flag from his horse and issued the order in the language of the flag.
"The 11th Brigade dragged back and lined up, and the same battle was lined up horizontally, forming a second front! The 12th Brigade mounted and dispersed the two flanks to guard the enemy, so that the small units of the enemy could not escape from the two flanks! ”
As Xu Weizheng's orders were issued, the Fourth Cavalry Division, which had just been very slack, immediately acted with extremely high efficiency as if it had eaten gunpowder.
