Chapter 88: Sortie

Maybe it was because of meritorious service, maybe it was frightened, and several other smaller crash cars outside the gate saw the door open, and pushed forward a few steps, until Yuan Wuyi led the team of men and horses to kill out, and the thieves who pushed the cart pushed the car to the ground, and all of them fled - only a few overturned crash cars were left alone on both sides of the gate.

At this time, Qi Xiaoguang and Sun Fugui on the city tower were in a state of confusion: who was so bold to open and close the door privately? You must know that it is clearly written in the military law: "Those who open the city gate privately without a military order will be killed even if they win!" ”

Cai Wenying is in charge of closing the door. It stands to reason that it is impossible for Cai Zhixian to do such a foolish thing! If he is a reckless man like Cao Ji, he can't stand the humiliation of Liu Bang who has no bottom line, and he will give up Cheng Gao in anger and go out of the city to fight-besides, the thief didn't scold the street, hasn't he been honestly banging on the door? You are a seven-grade civil official, which tendon is wrong to open and close to meet the enemy violently?

Fortunately, they didn't need to spend much effort to figure it out, and soon, at the end of the team that poured out of the Guanwai morale, the two of them recognized Vice General Kou who raised his sword and raised his arms and shouted under the support of several personal guards!

That momentum is almost as majestic as a god.

Qi Xiaoguang only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell under his feet, so he hurriedly held the battlements with his hands. Sun Fugui hurriedly grabbed it, and scolded viciously in his mouth: "Lord Shiri on the day of the donkey killing, beware!" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was a little inappropriate for the two sentences to be connected together, and hurriedly added, "My lord, I didn't mean you......

Qi Xiaoguang, who was like ashes, shook his head: "I know, I'm fine." Quickly order the troops to be collected. ”

Sun Fugui hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Mingjin! Mingjin! Collect the troops! ”

I roared for a long time, but I couldn't hear any movement! Sun Fugui, who was extremely angry, drew his waist knife and was about to find the bad luck of the Golden Drum Captain, when he turned around and saw the face of Sun Monkey, the captain of the pro-soldiers, full of fear.

Sun Monkey sobbed: "My lord, the gong soldiers were all taken away by Vice General Kou......"

"Bell!" Sun Fugui slashed at the wall, and sparks splashed everywhere. "! Lao Tzu didn't give an order, and the officer dared to release him? Just as he was about to raise his foot to cut someone, his arm was grabbed by Qi Xiaoguang: "General Sun, slow down!" Look at ......"

Following Qi Xiaoguang's fingers, he saw that the thieves had all fled the wall. However, they did not collapse into an army, but quickly gathered nearby, under the cover of the shield soldiers, formed a small formation, and then the small formations near the left approached each other, merging, and when the incense was half-burned, they formed a large circle formation on both sides of the gate! Scattered outside the circle of small formations have sounded sharp bamboo whistles, under the guidance of the whistle, the circle of the circle is constantly moving, constantly absorbing the nearby small arrays, each swallowing one, the whistle here will be silent, the wounded are dragged into the formation, the shield soldiers squeezed into the first row, the spearmen join the gap of the second row, stabbing at the officers and soldiers approaching outside the formation, providing as much safe space as possible for the companions in the front row. Immediately, the circle began to move towards the next whistle......

In accordance with Kou Zhizhang's earlier orders, the horse team of the official army ignored these siege thieves and rushed straight to the east gate of Xin'an. The foot soldiers who followed closely behind were helpless in the face of the iron barrel-like circle formation, and after seeing that they were stabbed down by the spears that came out of the formation, the vast majority of the officers and soldiers just shouted from afar around the circle, and no one dared to step forward.

Qi Xiaoguang and Sun Fugui looked at each other, the two glanced at each other, and invariably said: "What a powerful thief!" ”

A little farther away, a few thieves saw that there were officers and soldiers in the pass, and they turned their horses' heads and galloped in the direction of Xin'an, and several flags that no one paid attention to followed them. Seeing this, a burst of excited cheers suddenly broke out in the horse team of the officers and soldiers...... The horsemen did not close the perspective of Qi and Zhu on the wall, let alone see the rapidly expanding circle array behind them, and when they saw the thief in front of them fall the flag, they thought that they would win, and everyone held back their strength to capture the thief who fled in the wilderness - any one of them can be hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of taels of silver! The horsemen desperately urged the mounts under their hips, avoiding as much as possible the dust raised by the hooves of their companions in front of them that affected their vision, and they were completely out of array, and galloped westward scattered across the ground.

By this time, the sun was already in the west, and against the harsh sun, no matter how much the owner urged him, the horses could not run at full speed. In the same way, in order to make the fleeing enemy more realistic, the horsemen took the reins with one hand, put up the pergola with the other hand and stepped on the stirrups and leaned forward, and the weapons were hung back in the saddle rings or inserted back into their waists—unless there was a great accident, and when the thief had chased a few horses behind him, he had time to take them off or pull them out, no problem.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Huge unexpected changes.

Qi Xiaoguang and Sun Fugui looked helplessly, only to see a puff of white smoke coming out of the wall of Xin'andong, and after taking a breath, they heard a cannon sound of "tom" in their ears. Immediately afterwards, several small flags suddenly appeared on the city wall - Sun Fugui knew that that was the real command flag of the thief!

It looks small, but it's just because it's far away.

"Ambush!"

"Ambushed!"

The two shouted in unison.

In this era, there are only a limited number of means of conveying battlefield information. There are also a little more in the short and medium distances, and you can use golden drums, flags (with various lanterns at night), arrows, bamboo whistles, fireworks, etc. In the distance, there is only one kind of letter cannon - and its only purpose is to notify the ambush soldiers everywhere that they are all about to hear! Therefore, even Qi Xiaoguang, who does not have any military foundation, can react at once.

Of course, the disadvantages of this method are very big, and there have been such examples: Originally, Party A set up ambushes on various hills, only waiting for Party B to completely drill into the encirclement, and the letter cannon was the number, and the ambushes were everywhere...... Unexpectedly, someone on their side surrendered to the enemy, so Party B planned to do so, first breaking the small forces in ambush on each hill, and then launching a general attack to win a complete victory. Due to the lack of instant communication, the headquarters was ignorant when each ambush was surrounded and annihilated, until he became a lone army in the suspicion of "why the enemy has not come", and finally ended up in a crushing defeat.

When he heard the sound of the cannon, Guan Peizhong was only a dozen feet away from the thief who was running in front, and the pain in his leg had already been driven away by the adrenaline that filled his body. Although Yuan Wu ran first at the beginning, dozens of zhang later was the first in Guan Pei. After all, it is the palace guard army horse soldier Qianzong, not to mention Luofu, Guan Qianzong's superb riding skills are well-known in the entire Henan Province - the Tang King of Nanyang Mansion once asked someone to express euphemistically to Shouwang Chitose in the early years, wanting to use ten beautiful maids, two horses and a glass jewel (that thing is now called a glass ball) to exchange for a small tube that was still Baizong at that time! Shouwang Chitose immediately summoned Guan Baizong, and saw him riding a horse galloping through ten scarecrows, and a riding spear in his hand successively overturned his seven, and he was overjoyed, not only rejected Tang Wang on the grounds of "the ancestral vassal king has no selfish relationship", but also immediately promoted Guan Baizong to a thousand presidents!

In fact, when I first heard the news, Mr. Guan Qian was really a little apprehensive: it is everyone's consensus that the superiors of the Ming Dynasty have absolute rights to the trilogy, including ownership, not to mention ten beautiful maids, it is one for one, as long as Shangfeng nods, the trilogy has nothing to say and can only go with others. Of course, a dignified man will definitely be laughed at by others if he goes to change a woman, but that's another thing - as long as Shangguan originally intended, even if he exchanged you for a pig, you could only accept your fate, right? Having said that, Tessie's glass orb is a great thing: the outside is crystal clear, the inside is orange petal-shaped flowers, and there is no trace of any gap on the outside, I really don't know what kind of magic work can be made! As the saying goes, seven points are pearls and eight points are treasures, and the diameter of pearls reaches eight points is priceless, and the diameter of this glass bead is full of inches! According to Hu Changshi's speculation, this is clearly a treasure in the Dragon Palace, and it may be lost by a dragon prince who somehow played with it, and was again taken away by Taixi's pearl divers. To be worth this, the important thing is that Chitose is still reluctant, it is simply an incomparably honorable glory! Since knowing this, the mother-in-law at home has never said a word when she fried beans, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at her...... Since then, Mr. Guan Qian has been determined to go to the soup for Shouwang Chitose.

(Readers, remember: if you travel back one day, you must bring a bag of glass balls)

The war horse under Guan Qian's crotch is also a good horse, not only a good horse, but also his heart and liver baby! Regardless of the cold or heat, every night, Guan Qian always has to get up and take a trip, carry the half-ripe beans fried by Mrs. Guan herself with hay, and personally go to the stable to feed it, while watching it eat deliciously, while touching its neck and whispering to it, sometimes he will take out an apple and pear from his arms, take a bite, and hand the rest to the horse's mouth. As long as the palace is in the palace, the horse even has a special tank for drinking water - there are a few trash fish in the tank, and all kinds of insect eggs in the water will be eaten by the fish, so that there will be no parasites in the horse's belly!

Guan Qian always has four horses, one is a pack horse, which is specially used to carry weapons and materials, and two are riding horses, which usually take turns riding for transportation. This is a war horse, in addition to walking the horse every hour, Guan Qian would rather lead the horse on foot than be reluctant to ride it - "horsepower is life in wartime", every time Mrs. Guan pretended to be angry with the husband and the horse was better than her, Guan Qian said so.

This horse also has great trust in Guan Qianzong, and there seems to be a tacit understanding between the two.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, the management training center faintly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously knocked lightly on one leg, and the reins did not need to be brought, and the war horse galloped towards the oblique thorn, and at the same time, the right hand had already held the riding gun in the palm, and then grasped it again, and had firmly held the middle section, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

I saw that several enemy generals who had gathered together and fled just now suddenly scattered in all directions, and a huge gap was drawn between the horses, and in the direction of Xin'an Dongmen, which was covered by smoke and dust, there was a faint rumbling sound like rolling thunder!

This kind of voice is all too familiar to Mr. Guan: the cavalry team is accelerating!

Guan Peizhong hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to see that in the field of vision behind him, the seven or eight cavalry allies were galloping in a row, and few people had blades in their hands! In the distance, the smoke and dust rising from the horses' hooves could not be seen clearly, but with his rich experience, Guan Qian quickly came to the conclusion: due to the uneven riding skills and different horsepower, coupled with their own careful thinking, their riders were spread very wide in front of them - and in this situation, it was almost a dead end when encountering the enemy! As long as the enemy pulls out a column of two or three people and rams head-on, even if a single rider can dodge or block the enemy's first blow, the second and third riders who follow can easily cut him off his horse! The enemy cavalry rushes straight to the end of the formation and then crosses left and right to turn back, and you can almost do the next round of slashes without losing your horse's speed!

Objectively speaking, Guan Peizhong is not afraid of death, as a martial artist, it is fate to die in battle. However, at this time, a huge sense of fear rose in Guan Qianzong's heart, no, not fear, but the helplessness of prostration - in the face of the approaching death, he was completely helpless, and the noisy battlefield seemed to become empty at this time...... After a long time, Guan Qian became General Guan, and after drinking, he often described to people that the feeling was colored: red when excited, white when angry, and black when sad...... And at this time, that sense of loneliness is gray—a misty gray, a lifeless gray, a gray that devours everything, a silent and boundless gray!

In the middle of the Mercedes-Benz tube training, he wrapped the reins on his left hand a few times, gently lifted the right one, and smacked his legs hard, and at the same time knocked the spurs with both legs, so that the horses that had almost never been treated so roughly by their owners knew that the master had reached the moment of his life! So he accelerated sharply and rushed out to the north (right).

Yuan Wu had been holding his breath since he was left behind by Guan Peizhong, and he desperately urged the horse, and after hearing the sound of cannons, he made a fatal mistake: Le Ma to observe. Cavalry hedging, unless there is a world of difference in the strength of the riders, otherwise, it will always be the one with the highest horse speed who wins! When he saw the enemy cavalry on the opposite side, he turned his horse's head and ran back, how could the horses that had just started compare to the opponents who had already run out of character? Before he galloped three or five feet, he was passed by a horse and became the first person to die in this cavalry field battle.
