() Xu Zhixin, who was behind the cavalry, judged that the vanguard had collided with the enemy at the first moment when he heard the neighing of the horses, and immediately led a thousand hoplites into the battlefield. With the addition of a thousand hoplites, the shape on the battlefield began to fall to Xu Zhixin's side.

Just when the overall situation was decided and the enemy's attack gradually became weak, the enemy's main force rushed to the battlefield and launched an attack on Xu Zhixin's army from the left and right.

At this moment, the remaining 500 cavalry had broken through the enemy's encirclement and rushed towards the town of Wright according to the original plan. The remaining less than a thousand hoplites, under the leadership of Xu Zhixin, withstood the attacks of the enemy on the left and right. But strangely, the battlefield shape did not appear one-sided, but inexplicably evolved into a balance of power.

It turned out that on such a dark night, and the battlefield was in the depths of the mountains and forests, it was really impossible to see five fingers. Since the Brin side had already agreed on a code, it was clear whether they were friends or foes as soon as they fought. And the enemy army miscalculated the entire battlefield situation, so that it was caught off guard by the Brin army. In the dark, it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, and as a result, many people died in their own hands without explanation, and the whole battlefield was a chaos.

The battle lasted from midnight until dawn, exhausted on both sides.

When the sky was about to dawn, Xu Zhixin gathered the only two hundred remaining soldiers and quietly withdrew from the battlefield, advancing along the road to Suger. And the enemy forces behind them are still killing each other.

In this battle, Xu Zhixin's side suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, while the enemy's casualties were about twice as high, which can be said to be a brilliant result. But as far as the entire battlefield shape is concerned, Carroll has lost the only condition for equalizing, time.

Just when Xu Zhixin led the remnants to withdraw from the battlefield, the 500 cavalry that had broken through arrived at Wright Town. What is strange is that there is no trace of the 1,500 light and hoplite who were supposed to be stationed in the town, and there is only a squad of more than 100 people guarding nearly 4 million catties of military rations in the entire town.

After quickly taking control of the town of Wright, he learned a shocking news from the small captain.

The three commanders of the Three Towns of Brin have betrayed Carol, and the ambush army they encountered last night is the main force of the Three Towns of Bryn.

After weighing the whole situation, and convinced that only five hundred cavalry could not break through the enemy's encirclement again, the troops made the decision to go to Suger to join Xu Zhixin. So, five hundred cavalrymen with one hundred "prisoners" slowly advanced towards Suger. And the most ridiculous thing is that nearly four million catties of military rations in Wright Town were left unguarded for five whole days, until Remel arrived with his army and was taken care of again, which cannot but be said to be a war anecdote.

After sending Xu Zhixin away, Xu Shouyi returned to the city guard's mansion, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, never able to sleep. The reason is not because of the sinister shape of the battlefield now, but because he is worried about whether Xu Zhixin can break through. Xu Shouyi has always treated Xu Zhixin as if he were his own family, even better than his own family. He has been with him since he was eighteen years old, and for five years, I have watched him grow step by step. With the vision of an excellent general, Xu Zhixin is convinced that he is a natural soldier. Fearless courage, meticulous thought, and on-the-spot determination all determined that he would become a very good military leader. The only regret is that I am afraid that I will not see that day. In the face of the current battlefield shape, Xu Shouyi, who has fought for most of his life, knows better than anyone that this battle will definitely be lost. It's just that because of his duty, as well as the honor of a soldier, he is not allowed to be defeated.

This chaotic mind surrounded Xu Shouyi until it was close to dawn, and he couldn't resist the sleepiness caused by physical and mental fatigue, and took a nap for an hour.

Just an hour later, the chaotic footsteps in the city guard mansion shattered Xu Shouyi's dream. Rolling over from the bed, he put on his clothes and immediately saw a guard slam open the door, looking panicked.

"Lord Castle Keeper, Artbury is going to attack the city!"

When Xu Shouyi appeared on the city wall in military uniform, he found that all the generals had arrived. Everyone's face was quite solemn, and it was the result of psychological depression due to fear. Even Yu Ming, who has always been not afraid of the sky and the earth, has a trace of horror in his eyes. Following the general's gaze, when he turned his head to observe the enemy formation, Xu Shouyi couldn't help but feel shocked by what he saw.

Yesterday's array of 7,000 Atterbury soldiers was already very spectacular, but today's Brin Pass has an Atterbury army, which is densely packed with nearly five miles of open space outside the city. Yesterday's 7,000 Atterbury troops were now concentrated on the left side, with the infantry in front of the phalanx and the cavalry in the rear. On the right are more than 20,000 cavalry in a group of 40 people of 500 people. And in the center is the main force of this offensive and defensive battle, nearly 30,000 infantry. And these more than 30,000 infantry were divided into two arrays, front and rear, with hoplites in front and light infantry in the rear. And in between the two are all kinds of siege engines.

Xu Shouyi turned his head again and found that in addition to the fearful faces of the generals, all the soldiers guarding the city tower were also afraid. As the commander-in-chief, Xu Shouyi knew very well that if he couldn't boost the morale of the soldiers now, this battle would already be a complete defeat without fighting.

Xu Shouyi decisively drew his saber and jumped onto the battlements of the city wall, shocking both the enemy and us, and the attention of the generals on Carol's side shifted from the enemy array outside the city to him, not understanding what tricks this city guard was going to play.

"Carol boys, what's behind you! It's the land we've cultivated for generations, and our wives and children all depend on it for their livelihood!"

Xu Shouyi waved his sword and pointed at the Atbury army outside the city, and continued, "Now that someone wants to rob the land that belongs to us, rob our cattle and sheep, and expel our families, will you agree?"

"No!"

The 2,500 soldiers on the tower of the city shouted at the same time, and the momentum was not unastakable, and even the Atterbury army outside the city was dumbfounded. With such a huge disparity in strength, the other side can still maintain such morale, Carol's army is indeed not to be taken lightly.

"Don't agree!" The shout sounded again, and Xu Shouyi and the generals turned around in surprise to find out who was making such a shout.

It turned out that thousands of young and middle-aged people in the city were also gathered under the north gate at this moment, and they were the defenders of the city spontaneously organized by the residents of the city. Because the inhabitants of Blinkan know better than anyone the fact that once the city is broken, they will face a bleak end of slaughter.

For decades, there has been a constant battle between Atterbury and Carroll, and I don't know how many Atterbury soldiers fell under Brin Pass, and how many Atterbury generals died depressed for this majestic pass, so that the current Brin Pass has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the Atterbury military, and it is a nightmare that the people of Atterbury cannot get rid of.

The blood accumulated over decades has caused the people on both sides to accumulate too much hatred, and this hatred between ethnic groups is unjustifiable. Just like Xu Zhixin, his grandfather died under the sword of the Atbury army, and the soldiers on the city wall at this moment also have many grandfathers, and his father died under the sword of the other party. And the Atbury army outside the city, the situation is much the same. In such a critical situation, it is only natural that the residents of the city spontaneously organize themselves to participate in the battle.

Looking at the many young people gathered under the city gate, Xu Shouyi's heart was full of pain. In fact, he knows better than anyone that this time Bollinger Pass is already in a catastrophe. Rather than being killed by the enemy unarmed, it is better to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and the poor are the old and weak women and children in the city, I really don't know how they should face the enemy's iron hooves on the day the city is broken.
