Chapter 63: Reinforcements Arrive
The battle lasted for more than an hour, the Tianlei Army won a complete victory, not only broke Zhang Xin's plan, but also killed more than 20,000 enemies, although nearly 2,000 soldiers were killed by the men in black before, but those men in black were all the best in the Qin army, all of them were cultivators, and they were all killed, exchanging the lives of 2,000 ordinary soldiers for the enemy's 300 cultivators.
However, the matter is not over, although this time the Qin army was killed more than 20,000 people, but the overall strength of the Qin army has not been greatly affected, the enemy army still has 110,000 people, if it is a strong attack, Wu Lei is really not sure whether he can resist it.
Liang Xiao was able to observe his words and looks, and when he saw Wu Lei's sad face, he smiled slightly, and said, "General, don't worry too much, it is estimated that our patriotic reinforcements will arrive in four or five hours, as long as we defend the city wall for four or five hours, then we will be able to have a double-sided attack with the reinforcements that come to us, and we will definitely be able to completely annihilate the enemy." ”
Hearing this, Wu Lei smiled bitterly, holding on for four or five hours, this is easy to say, but it is not so simple to do, the Qin army did not use siege equipment before, at that time they could rush to the city with their flesh and blood, if they used siege equipment this time, this result is really hard to say.
Liang Xiao frowned slightly, if Wu Lei had no confidence, it would definitely lead to the failure of defending the city, thinking of this, Liang Xiao suddenly stood up, and was about to open his mouth to cheer for Wu Lei.
But at this moment, his standing body shook suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, he inadvertently glanced at it, but saw the dust behind the Qin army, it was not the wind, but a large number of troops were rushing forward.
Liang Xiao's abnormality was naturally seen by Wu Lei, he frowned, and subconsciously followed Liang Xiao's gaze.
It's okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, he was also startled, and said in a lost voice, "It's not good, could it be that the reinforcements of the Qin army have arrived." ”
A hundred thousand Qin troops led by Qin Yuan would be difficult to resist, and if there was another batch, wouldn't Fengming City be lost.
Thinking of this, Wu Lei's face instantly became gloomy, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted to the herald behind him, "Quickly pass on my military orders, let the generals be ready to meet the enemy." ”
The herald also saw the dust flying in the rear of the Qin army, as if a tornado was blowing in the rear of the Qin army, and the sound was terrifying.
"Wait. Just a few steps after the herald ran out, at this time, Liang Xiao suddenly frowned slightly, opened his mouth to stop the herald, and turned to Wu Lei and said, "General, I see that things have changed, let's let him give the order to gather the army, let's go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”
Hearing this, Wu Lei and the herald changed their faces, and Wu Lei hurriedly said, "Sir, there are so many Qin troops, it is not easy for us to defend the city, if we go out of the city, I'm afraid,"
Before he finished his words, Liang Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the Qin army's camp and said, "General, please look,"
Wu Lei was puzzled, but he still looked in the direction of the Qin army's camp.
At this time, the rear of the Qin army camp was dusty, and the Qin army had already lined up their formation, but the direction of their formation was not facing the city wall, but facing their rear.
After seeing it, Wu Lei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "Could it be that our reinforcements are coming." ”
However, his excitement only lasted for a second, and then he frowned again, the direct army stationed on the edge of the swamp wanted to rush to the rescue, at least it had to wait until it was dark to arrive, but now, there were still a few hours before it was dark, and it was impossible for the direct army to come in such a short time, so it seemed that the identity of this sudden surprise soldier could not be determined at all, perhaps it was the strategy of the Qin army, deliberately making such a move, wanting to lure him out of the city.
Thinking of this, Wu Lei couldn't help but say worriedly, "Sir, I'm afraid this is the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, let's not be fooled." ”
Liang Xiao looked confident, he turned his eyes to stare at Wu Lei and smiled slightly, and said, "General, I am a scholar, my eyesight is not good, I didn't expect that you are a person who cultivates the truth, how can you not see it." ”
There was a sense of ridicule in his words, but Wu Lei was already anxious at this time, where did he still have the heart to joke with Liang Xiao, he hurriedly said, "Sir,"
As soon as he had spoken in general, he was interrupted by a herald, and a herald rushed up to the tower, raised a carrier pigeon, got down on one knee, and said in a loud voice, "General, letter from the Silver Cavalry." ”
Silver Cavalry!
Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took the carrier pigeon, took out a strip of cloth from the pigeon's leg, and then spread it out.
With just one glance, Wu Lei's face suddenly became excited, he put away the strip of cloth, and then shouted to the herald, "Quickly gather all the armies, let's go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”
The herald asked, somewhat uncertainly, "General, is this now?"
"Nonsense, don't go quickly, delay the war, Lao Tzu wants your head. Wu Lei's face sank, and he stretched out his leg to kick the herald's ass, and shouted.
In an instant, the herald shrank his neck, answered in a hurry, and ran down the tower like the wind.
It was only at this time that Wu Lei understood that Liang Xiao was not joking with him, and now looking at the rear of the Qin army camp, he could already vaguely see that there was a cavalry running behind the Qin army camp, and the armor on their bodies was all silver.
Silver armor, and cavalry, what can it be if it is not a silver cavalry.
Let's say that on the side of Gu Tiandao, after getting the information of the god-killing mouse, it was rushing to Fengming City non-stop, and when they came here, there happened to be a spy who found the news, saying that the Qin army had failed miserably during the siege of the city and had just withdrawn.
After getting this news, Gu Tiandao's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly found Gu Batian, discussed with him, and decided to take advantage of the Qin army's morale to immediately attack, and at the same time pass a letter to the Tianlei Army, to attack back and forth, and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop.
Tens of thousands of silver cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Qin army, and the Qin army was in chaos in an instant, however, after a short period of confusion, the Qin army still made a defense, with 30,000 infantry holding shields in front of the front to resist the cavalry impact of the silver cavalry, while the archers were lined up behind the infantry, bows and arrows shot the enemy, and the 50,000 cavalry were divided into two lines, attacking the opponent's cavalry regiment from the left and right.
In order to make Gu Tiandao make more achievements in the army, Gu Batian ordered him to be the vanguard and lead 50,000 silver cavalry to rush to the front, while Gu Batian took other silver cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry of the directly subordinate army to fight with Zhang Tong, pressing the rear of the formation, and followed the cavalry to rush and kill.
The specialty of the cavalry is that it is fast and has a great impact, and when the Qin army has just lined up in battle, the silver cavalry has already rushed to the front.
The Silver Cavalry, which belongs to the medium-sized heavy armored cavalry, is not only fast, but also full of impact, just in contact with the heavy shield hand of the Qin soldiers, the people who hit it instantly turned over on their horses, and the same, the shield array of the Qin army was also knocked out of a big gap.
A gap appeared, and the cavalry took advantage of the situation, tearing the gap open in an instant, and rushed into the Qin army.
