When the Jingzhou Feiyu Battalion and the Jingjun cavalry had just collided, Duan Zuozhang had already begun to deploy troops, which was faster than Li Bingxue expected.

He turned his head to look at Lu Shen, and said, "Brother Lu, immediately gather the cavalry of the reserve army, prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and receive reinforcements from Jingzhou." ”

"Obey!"

Lu Shen bowed his head, and his tone was calm and powerful.

Duan Zuozhang carefully instructed again, including how to act after leaving the city.

Lu Shen's comprehension ability was extremely strong, and his views on the battle situation were very similar to Duan Zuozhang's, and he immediately took the order and left.

Duan Zuozhang said again: "Liu Tongzhao, Ning Yong." ”

The two young lieutenants shook their hearts and stepped forward and said, "The last general!" ”

Duan Zuozhang said in a deep voice: "You lead your subordinates to gather in the city and wait for the general's order. ”

"Obey!"

Although there were more than 10,000 Jing soldiers outside the city, Liu and Ning did not hesitate at all, they only felt that their blood was surging, and their eyes were full of brazen looks.

In fact, not only these young captains, but also the defenders and soldiers had already been filled with grief and indignation after seeing the people under the city slaughtered by the Jing army, and this would be the moment when the desire to fight reached its peak.

Without the appearance of the Jingzhou cavalry, Duan Zuozhang could only forcibly suppress the enthusiasm of these young people, and would also order the archers to fire arrows indiscriminately at the city, telling the enemy with this clear and resolute attitude: The behavior of coercing the people to threaten the city defense is useless, and will only continuously improve the morale of our army.

It was a decision he had to make.

However, the Jingzhou cavalry suddenly arrived on the battlefield and launched an attack on the Jing army without hesitation, and Duan Zuozhang immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity after dispelling the doubts in his heart.

The formation of the Jing army is loose, and the front and rear cannot take care of each other, and their morale is strong, and the army is the same!

But he couldn't be in a hurry, Duan Zuozhang stared closely at the battle between the cavalry of the two armies in the distance, waiting for that moment to appear.

Lu Shen received the military order and immediately strode down the city wall, followed by Lin Xi and Li Chengen.

When he came to the area allocated to him not far from the city, the reserve army composed of a group of masters had already been lined up, and the stables next to it contained the horses donated by the big families in Guangling City, as well as the reserves of the Guangling army itself, so that more than a thousand horses could be gathered.

The reserve army was divided into two parts, and in the front were the 500 warriors who followed Lu Shen to attack the enemy camp at night, and more than 30 were lost in that battle, and more than 40 were wounded, and now there are more than 400 people standing here.

In the back row were the people who were not selected that night, about 600 people.

Lu Shen looked over one by one and began to mobilize in the most straightforward words.

"What you have seen with your own eyes today should know the cruelty and tyranny of the enemy. There are not only other people's parents, wives and children, but also my family and yours, as well as the gold and silver that have been accumulated so hard over the years, and once the city is destroyed, it will become the spoils of the enemy's war. I don't want that to happen, and I'm sure you don't want to. ”

"Some people may want to ask, we can rely on the towering and strong city walls to defend it, and the enemy's strength has not yet reached the level of overwhelming the defenders of Guangling, so why do we need to venture out of the city? But just as we were going to attack the enemy camp at night, it was a must-do. The enemy army will not only have 20,000 people, and the follow-up troops should be on the road at this moment, and it will not take long for them to appear under Guangling City. ”

"We can choose to retreat in the city and leave our fate to the enemy, maybe they can't break through Guangling, and we and the people in the city can survive. Or maybe their army enters the city, and you and I become the ghosts of the enemy. ”

"Of course, we also have the option of taking the initiative to find the enemy's flaws when conditions allow. Now that reinforcements from Jingzhou have arrived, they are engaged with the enemy outside the city. General Duan ordered us to pick up reinforcements, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and we had to know what we should do, and that was to cooperate with the reinforcements. ”

"This battle is dangerous, more dangerous than the previous night raids. During the night attack, we took the initiative and could retreat at any time, and at that time the enemy's vision was blocked and the situation was not clear, so we did not dare to move, but today is different, if we go out of the city, we will be directly exposed to the eyes of the other party. There are now 12,300 enemies outside the city, and we have only over 1,000. ”

"If you don't want to go, I'd rather quit now than see deserters on the battlefield."

"If you are willing to go, be prepared to die, and I am no different from you in this regard."

Lu Shen looked at everyone calmly.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that when war came, as a commander, he could not say such words as "those who do not want to go will stay", and it was impossible for any army to allow such a situation to occur.

But this reserve army in front of you is very special.

It is not a professional army, and the vast majority of them have no previous experience in the army, and in many respects they are far inferior to the ordinary soldiers in the Guangling army, except for their brilliant martial arts and rich experience in chaotic warfare.

Even though they had experienced the tempering of the war during this period of time, and they had also learned the basic military formation orders under the training of Li Chengen and the generals of the Guangling Army, in essence, this group of people was still arrogant and reckless masters.

What Lu Shen wants is this arrogance.

After a brief silence, only more than two dozen people quietly retreated to the sidelines.

The rest of them all stood proudly, looking at the young man in front of them with a pair of eyes full of light.

Lu Shen didn't care about the retreat of the more than 20 people, he only looked at the more than 1,000 people standing in the field, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Get on the horse!"

Thousands of horsemen lined up behind the city gates.

Not far behind them, the lieutenants Liu Tongzhao and Ning Yong had also gathered their subordinates, with a total of 3,000 foot soldiers, which were the main force of the Guangling garrison.

There was an air of slaughter.

Below the city tower, Duan Zuozhang watched the situation in the distance, and when he saw the Feiyu Battalion forcing back the Jing Dynasty cavalry, he did not blindly speed up the killing, but just pursued in the rear unhurriedly, and he felt more confident in his heart.

He turned to look at the herald and gave a quick command.

The herald took the order, strode down the city wall, and said loudly: "The general has an order, and the reserve army will immediately go out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”

Lu Shen bowed his head, and then raised his voice: "Open the door!" ”

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and thousands of horses slowly moved their hooves, and the fish flowed into the urn city, and then the gate of the urn city was also opened, and the sound of the door shaft turning revealed the vicissitudes of history.

At the same time, under the shouts of the defenders of the city, the people outside the city scattered and fled.

There was no suppression of the cavalry of the Jing army, which was good at cavalry and archery, and the archers of the Guangling army calmly fired, and the rain of arrows poured down, forcing the Jing army infantry who had no intention of attacking the city backwards, creating a distance of more than 100 steps for the attack of their own cavalry.

"Whatever I am—"

Lu Shen's loud voice reached the ears of every garrison.

He raised his long sword, rode his horse out of the city gate, and rushed towards the position of the enemy's foot soldiers in front: "Kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill!"

More than 1,000 people responded with a bang.

The reason why Duan Zuozhang dared to make the decision to take the initiative to attack was because the appearance of the Jingzhou cavalry made the Jingjun cavalry have to turn around to face the battle, and on the other hand, the formation of the opponent's infantry was not aimed at the cavalry's spear and shield formation, but mainly short weapons for climbing.

In fact, at this time, the Jing army's infantry was already retreating in an orderly manner, and the disadvantage of the Gain cavalry was constantly increasing, but the Qi army's movements were obviously faster.

In the unpredictable battlefield, one step ahead is often one step ahead!

Lu Shen took the lead, Lin Xi and Li Chengen supported him, leading thousands of horsemen to roar past, and the murderous aura filled the sky and the earth.

In the corner under the city walls, the woman was holding her daughter, and the expression on her face was extremely complicated.

She watched as the cavalry of Guangling burst into the positions of the beasts, and watched as the leading young military general slashed an enemy to death with a knife in hand, and then continued to advance forward.

She saw another slender woman wielding a long sword, galloping through the enemy's ranks, no one could survive the moments under her, and she was so young, yet so heroic.

She saw the man in his twenties holding a spear to protect the side of the leading general, and she didn't know how to describe it, only to see one cruel and tyrannical enemy after another die under his spear.

She also saw hundreds of horsemen following the three young men, rushing into the crowd like tigers from the mountains, and they looked so angry, so brave, so fierce and so fearless of death.

The woman was not very bold and did not dare to talk to people on weekdays, but at this moment, looking at the killing and blood in the distance, she was reluctant to take her eyes off for a moment.

Because her husband and in-laws had died at the hands of these Jingren yesterday, and many villagers in the village were killed, she only had bitter hatred in her heart.

"Kill...... Kill them all......" she said in a trembling voice, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mother?" The little girl cowered timidly in her arms, and the scenes filled with killing scared her.

The woman hugged her tightly and murmured, "Don't be afraid, Niu'er, they are all good people, and they are all our lifesavers!" ”

The little girl still didn't understand, but the mother and daughter were connected, and she could feel her mother's excitement at this moment, so she had the courage to look over there-

"Poof!"

A Jing soldier in front of Lu Shen was about to sneak up on his mount, when a long arrow suddenly struck from behind, piercing his throat fiercely.

Looking back, Xi Jun nodded at him, and then opened his bow and arrows again to aim elsewhere.

Lu Shen noticed that the Jing army's large array began to shrink, and remembered the advice he had written before leaving, and his heart suddenly rose with endless pride, and he waved his sword and pointed at the Jing army's main formation, and said loudly: "Kill!" ”

The biggest advantage of this reserve army is not that it is strong in martial arts, but that everyone has a tiger courage.

When Lu Shen gave the order, almost no one hesitated, followed him like a meteor through the forward position of the Jing army that had been dispersed, and rushed straight towards the enemy's Chinese army.

In the midst of the Jing Army's large array, Qin Chun sneered: "The reason why Sang Mai wants to retreat all the way is to lure you out, otherwise why would Ben Jiang stay here to waste time with you?" ”

He raised his hand and pointed at the cavalry who rushed out of Guangling City, and said in a cold voice: "Pass the order to the front army, let them in!" ”

"Obey!" The herald immediately responded.

Qin Chun boarded the chariot and looked at the cavalry that had broken into his position, and his gaze quickly stayed on Lu Shen.

According to the description of the surviving soldiers in the western camp, this young man was the commander of the night attack on the camp.

"If you can still go back alive, how can Ben be worthy of those soldiers who died in battle?"

Qin Chun muttered to himself, murderous in his eyes.

He looked up at the towering Guangling city wall again, and said in a low voice: "This cavalry wants to break the formation...... I'm afraid you'll have to pull out all the old books. ”
