Chapter Eighty-Five: Anger

The battle at the city gate was over, and the vanguard battalion led by Ren Xiaoyao won a complete victory, not only killing a large number of enemies at a very small cost, but also successfully breaking through the city gate.

"Hahaha, young marshal, the city gate has been broken, let's attack it and take Tianchi City directly!" Shen Yide, who had a bearded face and a rough appearance, was one of Ren Xiaoyao's two lieutenants, and said to Ren Xiaoyao excitedly.

Several soldiers around him were also eager to try, and seemed to agree with Shen Yide's point of view.

Ren Xiaoyao raised his eyes and looked at the situation around him:

The east was white, and the sky was about to dawn; the broken flags were still fluttering at the head of the city, and piles of blazing fires were burning with dazzling light and black smoke; everywhere you looked, there were corpses and blood everywhere; the gates of the city were broken, and the iron cables that held the drawbridge were broken, and it was difficult to repair them for a while.

Farther into the depths of the city, the sound of chaotic troop movements could be faintly heard, and it was conceivable that reinforcements from the city were coming. Ren Xiaoyao also knew that behind his 3,000 pioneer battalion, the nearly 30,000 troops were about to arrive, which could be used as his support.

There is a strong enemy in front and strong reinforcements in the rear, and at this moment this side has a winning position.

But for the current situation, Ren Xiaoyao sees more.

If we continue to pursue and fight fiercely, it is certain that our side will be able to take advantage of the chaos to annihilate more enemies, so as to expand the victory and achieve greater success. However, in this case, his 3,000 vanguard battalion will penetrate deep into the enemy's formation, and it is very likely that he will face the main force of the defenders! With only his 3,000 soldiers and horses, he will face at least 10,000 defenders in the city, and I am afraid that he will only be defeated!

Even if the reinforcements of this side arrive in time and 30,000 troops enter the city at the same time to fight, the situation will be at most a showdown between the main forces of the two sides, and a decisive battle will be launched in the city. This kind of blood struggle is almost a pure human life game, and the losses on both sides will be extremely heavy, which is also what Ren Xiaoyao does not want to see.

So Ren Xiaoyao thought about it for a moment, and then shook his head: "Pass the order, Mingjin withdraw the troops, today's battle, this is the end!"

"Ah, young marshal, ...... you are" Shen Yide and many soldiers had puzzled looks on their faces, but when they saw Ren Xiaoyao's firm eyes, they all stopped questioning and nodded one after another: "Obey the young marshal's orders!"

Soon, the sound of Mingjin sounded, and Ren Xiaoyao and his subordinates began to evacuate.

Ren Xiaoyao took his 3,000 men and horses and withdrew from Tianchi City one after another. At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao saw in the distance, a large black figure was rapidly approaching-it was his father who arrived with a large number of reinforcements.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Ren Xiaoyao's mouth raised, and he thought: This time my father should be very happy, the Black Armor Army has almost no losses, but it has successfully broken through the gate of Tianchi City, and at the same time destroyed more than 100 enemies and injured nearly 1,000 enemies.

He said to Shen Yide, the deputy general beside him: "In the past, I informed the generalissimo, and said that we have captured the city gate, won the first battle, and can withdraw our troops." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Yide agreed and quickly patted away. Ren Xiaoyao continued to arrange the evacuation of the soldiers in an orderly manner.

After a while, Shen Yide came to the front of the army, and it was the generalissimo Ren Canglong and the commander of the army who led the army.

Shen Yide turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Generalissimo Qiyu, Lord Lieutenant of the Supervisory Army, and Shen Yide, the deputy general of the subordinate pioneer battalion, have been ordered to report: Our vanguard battalion has successfully broken through the city gate, lowered the drawbridge, and injured more than 1,000 enemies in one fell swoop! General Ren of the pioneer battalion specially ordered his subordinates to inform the marshal that they can withdraw their troops!"

"Haha, okay! Yao'er is really good, she won such a victory in the first battle, congratulations!" Ren Canglong stroked the beard on his chin and said happily.

Beside him, David, the captain of the supervising army, also had his eyes shining, and he looked extremely excited: "Hahaha, it is really a tiger father without a dog, and General Ren is simply a military genius!" But then, David changed his words: "But since the city gate has been broken, why don't we take advantage of the situation to pursue and turn a small victory into a big victory?"

"In!"

David held his prison seal, and shouted at all the soldiers, full of anger: "All the soldiers listen to my orders, the front is Tianchi City of Xiliang Kingdom, and now the city gate has been opened, everyone rush in with me and break through Tianchi City in one fell swoop!"

"Rush, rush, rush!"

Hearing David's call, the soldiers were all fighting strongly, holding high their weapons and actively shouting in response.

Seeing this, Ren Canglong couldn't help but hurriedly stop: "Wait! Dai Jianjun, just now the dog sent someone to tell us to retreat, why do you want to attack?"

"Hmph, I'm the commander of the supervising army, a dignified fourth-rank officer, he's just a small vanguard battalion general, and he doesn't even have a grade, do you listen to me or listen to him?" David didn't care, snorted coldly, and then turned to the soldiers, and ordered loudly: "Those who are not afraid of death and want to make meritorious contributions will rush with me!

After that, he ignored Ren Canglong's obstruction, and rushed forward with a straight shot!

"Dai Jianjun! David! bastard!" Ren Canglong shouted several times in a row from behind, but David's speed did not decrease at all. In the end, Ren Canglong sighed heavily, and still kicked the horse's belly helplessly:

"Let's go!"

Immediately, nearly 30,000 troops followed David and Ren Canglong and rushed towards Tianchi City.

......

At the city gate, Ren Xiaoyao was methodically organizing the soldiers to retreat. But when one of his soldiers shouted for him to look up, he couldn't help but be shocked:

The large army of this side is rushing at a rapid pace!

The black oppressive figure was full of nearly 30,000 moving heads, and this rush was like a small continent moving on the surface, which was very shocking to people's eyes!

Without hesitation, Ren Yao rode his horse and whipped his horse and galloped towards the side of the large army, he wanted to go over and find out what the situation was.

After a while, Ren Xiaoyao joined the large army, saw his father and David who were running at the front, and he hurriedly asked:

"Dad, what's the matter, didn't I tell you to retreat!"

It was not Ren Canglong who answered him, but the fanatical David: "Haha, General Ren, you are too worried! If the gate of Chicheng is opened today, it is a good opportunity for our army to attack on a large scale, how can we withdraw our troops!"

As he spoke, he continued to charge forward with the army without slowing down at all.

Ren Xiaoyao also had to turn his horse's head and rush in the direction of Tianchi City - this was an army of 30,000, and if he went in the opposite direction, he would be swallowed up by the iron flow of the army in an instant. He rode his horse and followed Ren Canglong and David, and asked several times in a row to finally find out the truth.

After learning that David was bent on going his own way and had to lead the army to attack the city, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but be angry!

"This mediocre talent who only knows the courage of a puppet and is so happy!"

Ren Xiaoyao couldn't wait to scold.

But now that the offensive of the army has been decided, it is bound to attack Tianchi City and fight a decisive battle with the defenders of Xiliang, even if Ren Xiaoyao is powerless to stop it! He had to hurry up again, rushed back to the city gate first, and eagerly shouted at the soldiers of the vanguard battalion:

"Stop retreating, turn around and attack the city!

The soldiers of the pioneer battalion were a little dizzy when they heard this, but they did not hesitate to carry out every order of Ren Xiaoyao, and immediately turned around and marched towards the city.

This change of order, Ren Xiaoyao also had to do it as a last resort. If the vanguard battalion continues to withdraw outside the city, it will collide with the main force of its own side, and at that time it will be directly destroyed under the impact of the main army! Only by attacking the city can we avoid the situation in which our own troops collide with each other.

Although he knew that if he attacked the city, he might encounter the main force of the defenders of Tianchi City, but Ren Xiaoyao had no choice.

Rushing into the city not far away, Ren Xiaoyao saw a large number of people and horses in front of him, all wearing reddish-brown armor, rushing head-on. Presumably this is the main defender of Tianchi City, they received the news that the city gate was lost and rushed here, just arrived here.

Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth hatefully, and the anger in his chest was endless: there was no other way in front of him but to fight head-on!

"Brothers kill, the brave are fearless!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the vanguard battalion roared and rushed towards the enemy, who was far outnumbered by themselves.

Ren Xiaoyao took the lead, leading nearly a thousand cavalry to rush to the front, and what they encountered was the infantry brigade of the defenders of Tianchi City.

On the wide avenue, the infantry of the defenders of Tianchi City was lined up with twenty people, crowding the entire avenue to the full, and there was no end in sight at a glance. This group of infantry, to say the least, has 10,000 people!

When cavalry faces infantry, the most important thing is to make good use of the cavalry's impact, flexibility and mobility, and never be surrounded by the opponent. Once trapped, the cavalry becomes a caged beast, and only has the share of being slaughtered. Therefore, Ren Xiaoyao ordered all cavalry not to go deep into the enemy formation, mainly to assault and rush on the periphery of the enemy formation, and kill one first!

Ren Xiaoyao and his cavalrymen, like eagles hunting for food, rushed to the enemy line at high speed, stabbed one or more enemies to death with their spears, and then quickly turned their horses' heads away from the enemy's encirclement.

After two rounds of such an attack, dozens of our cavalry died, but the enemy's infantry already lost hundreds!

But the loss of dozens of cavalry at once still made Ren Yaoyao's heartache tear -

Originally, the victory was decided, although it was a small victory, but after all, the city gate had been broken, and the Xiliang State side could not repair it in a short period of time. Ren Xiaoyao can withdraw his troops first, and then think of a better strategy to break through Tianchi City in one fell swoop! At that time, the losses of his own soldiers will definitely be greatly reduced, and these dead soldiers in front of him should not have died!

watched his elite cavalry, one after another, rushed into the enemy formation, fought bloody without hesitation, and then tragically besieged and fell in a pool of blood......

Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and his fists clenched.

Blame that brainless, but joyful David!
