Chapter 182: Black clouds crush the city, and the light of the armor is facing the sun
"Then the old man has something to do with the ancient style?" Lin Ge was also very smart, although he didn't see his grandmother's face, he vaguely guessed something.
"I'll tell you later......" Dai Yun didn't say a word again......
Looking at the city wall of Qingshui County again, a sergeant was waiting for Li Zhenzhi to speak, but he paced back and forth, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Gu Feng first asked: "Lord Li, Qingshui City is helpless on all sides, the lonely city is alone, and the situation is precarious. Do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy?"
"Didn't Your Excellency already have an idea?" Li Zhenzhi looked back at Gu Feng and asked, "Zhou salary!"
"The last general!"
"Immediately send men to gather the people who can still move, and tear down the houses that no one lives in, and build the walls and fortifications. Then he added, "Send someone to the Criminal Division to get all the poison, do you see that meadow?" Li Zhenzhi pointed to a rather lush meadow in the distance, "Sprinkle the poison on the grass." β
"I ......" Gu Feng felt bored, it turned out that Li Zhenzhi was not ready to pay attention to him at all.
"How many soldiers are there now, and how many militias can be organized?" Li Zhenzhi then asked.
"There are about 10,000 people, and now many people have signed up to join the army after reading the notice. Zhou Xin replied, it seems that the arrival of Dai Yun, the eldest princess and Lin Ge, two unfathomable cultivators, has boosted the morale of Qingshui County a lot.
Li Zhenzhi arranged almost everything in a short period of time, and Gu Feng has been acting as a spectator, not saying a word - also because no one listened to him.
Two hours later, dust rose on the eastern land, and at this time, I saw that on the edge of the ancient wind vision, a black line slowly moved towards Qingshui City. Just like the shadow of a dark cloud rolling in the sky on a sunny day, if you get closer, you can faintly see that the other party is also waving the flag, and Ru Zhijun has arrived! To be honest, Gu Feng was originally very confident in Li Zhenzhi, but the other party's momentum was indeed too amazing.
Look at the soldiers around me who are still wearing cloth clothes mixed in, at least the color of their clothes is the same, surging from afar, like a tide. This made Gu Feng can't help but feel a little bottomless about this defensive battle.
The militia on the city walls began to stir, but they were quickly pacified by Zhou Xin's subordinates, and it seemed that Zhou Xin's army was by no means comparable to the ordinary rabble of the country.
As soon as the other party's 100,000 army stopped, Li Zhenzhi glanced at Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin nodded, and went down the city tower without saying a word.
Gu Feng didn't understand what medicine was sold in the gourd of these two people, and it didn't take long for him to hear the city gate open. I saw that Zhou Xin took six cavalry out of the city, ordered the cavalry to wait in front of the suspension bridge on the moat, and galloped to the front of the Ruzhi army.
Except for Zhou Xin's subordinates, everyone was shocked when they saw this, in their opinion, Zhou Xin's behavior could only be explained by two reasons: to send him to death or surrender to the enemy, which also included the ancient style.
I saw Zhou Xin galloping to the front of the Ruzhi army with his bare hands, and shouted: "I am the Qing Shui guard!
This provocation was immediately replied, and two cavalry generals were immediately killed in the formation, with spears in their hands, and screaming in their mouths, killing Zhou Xin like a whirlwind.
Based on the aura of the two of them, the keen mind of the cultivator of the ancient style, the two of them were both martial artists above the second order, which could be regarded as two fierce generals in the army.
Zhou Xin stood still with his empty hands, waiting for Ru Zhiren's two spears to stab out. said that it was too late, it was fast, Zhou Xin opened his hands like a dustpan, opened his bow left and right, grabbed two guns, and shouted violently: "Come here!"
His voice was like thunder, his arms were forced, and the two Ruzhi generals fell to the ground in response, Zhou Xin shook two spears, aimed at the front door of the two generals, and thrust hard, and the two generals died on the spot.
Zhou Xin laughed, and the rough laughter made the soldiers standing on the city wall excited, as if they were the ones who killed the second general. Zhou Xin let go of the gun, still with two empty hands, grabbed the mounts of the two dead generals, and turned around to return.
Gu Feng was secretly shocked: "Why do you condescend to this place for such a cultivation!"
As soon as you saw the second general, you died tragically in just one round, and there was a riot in the formation. Then more than 50 horsemen rushed out to chase Zhou Yuan, Zhou Xin turned the horse's head, the tiger's eyes widened, and he shouted, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Ru Zhiren was so frightened that he couldn't control the horses and retreated.
At this time, a man appeared in the Ruzhi formation, dressed in gold armor, surrounded by a group of soldiers. Seeing this person, the more than 50 horsemen reined in their horses one after another, and they didn't know what General Jinjia said, the more than 50 horsemen dismounted and knelt down one after another, as if begging for mercy.
Then General Jin Jia waved his hand, and more than 50 sword and axe men came out of the military array, and then the knives rose and fell, and the more than 50 horsemen who were originally chasing Zhou Xin were already in a different place.
Li Zhenzhi also looked at the series of behaviors of General Jin Jia with blazing eyes, and said a rare word to Gu Feng: "This is Wanyan Guhong, the vanguard of the Ruzhi Army, which can be described as the right-hand man of Marshal Hu Luliang of Ruzhi." β
"Well, I think this army will be invincible under his leadership. Gu Feng said, "I'm afraid that if you look for the whole country, you can't have such a team with strict military discipline." β
"Alas......" Li Zhenzhi sighed and didn't say anything.
Zhou Xin is back, I have to say that he has added a lot of morale to the soldiers, it seems that Li Zhenzhi and Zhou Xin have long had this plan.
Wanyan Guhong didn't plan to rest, and set up a formation outside the city, maybe the high-flying march all the way let him know that Daiguo was not a sick wolf, it was just a sheep to be slaughtered, and there was no need to wait for the main force to come to defeat such a country. He divided his 100,000 troops into three battle formations and marched into Qingshui City step by step.
"Lord Li, is it a battle or a defense?" asked Gu Feng.
"My lord, the last general and the deputy general please break their two formations. It seems that the first battle just now didn't make the madman Zhou Xin enjoyable, and he couldn't help but look at Li Zhenzhi with a blank eye.
Gu Feng was also eager to try, and asked: "I'll break his third formation!"
Li Zhenzhi groaned for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry first, the road from Jilusai to Qingshui County is dangerous." Their vanguard had no baggage, and it would take three hours to arrive, and if it was the main force, it would take at least one day. Besides, the Jilu Plug was conquered by its forward troops, which means that the main force of Ruzhi had not yet arrived at the Chicken Deer Stop, so we still have time. β
"Then if they attack...... Zhou Yuan worriedly.
Li Zhenzhi didn't answer him, just looked up at the sky, looked at the sun and the sky, and then muttered, "It's almost time." β
"What?" asked Gu Feng and Zhou Salary at the same time.
"Eat. Li Zhenzhi saw that the two were still puzzled, and then said, "They are mostly cavalry, and they have no baggage, but they are not afraid of attacking the city, don't forget our poisonous ......"
After listening to Gu Feng, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, and Gu Feng smiled treacherously.
"Let's eat when they eat. Gu Feng was the first to propose, as if there was no barrier between himself and Daiguo.
Sure enough, as Li Zhenzhi expected, Wanyan Guhong's deployment of the formation without siege equipment was just a bluff, coupled with a long and rapid march, the soldiers under his command were hungry and thirsty, and Wanyan Guhong had to order to bury the pot and cook and wait for the arrival of the large army.
However, the long-term situation made the general also make the mistake of paralyzing carelessness, and it was not long before reports of a large number of horses dying appeared in the camp, which led to the resurgence of riots in the newly stabilized Ruzhi army.
Li Zhenzhi, who was always paying attention to the movements of the Ruzhi army on the city tower, said slowly: "It's okay now." β
Zhou Xin took the order and left, and after a while, the gate of Qingshui City opened again, and a thousand elite horsemen galloped towards the camp of the Ruzhi Army under his leadership.
How could Ru Zhibing, who was already in chaos, expect that the weak Nandai people would dare to take the initiative to attack? For a while, there were those who hurriedly responded to the battle, and there were also those who took advantage of the chaos to flee for their lives.
The Ruzhi army, which had always won with cavalry, completely lost its former spirit when the horses were sick, and they were vulnerable in front of the rolling cavalry. The massacre of the past is still continuing, but the roles of the two armies are reversed, and it is difficult for the Ruzhi army to organize a strong counterattack in a short time, and for a while, the Ruzhi army tramples on each other, and there are countless casualties.
This passive scene continuedβit wasn't until Wanyan Guhong's appearance that his appearance undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the chaotic camp, and the commotion gradually subsided. Methodical command, coupled with the fact that Ru Zhibing was indeed much tougher than the ordinary Daiguo army, the defeat had gradually been stopped by Wanyan Guhong, and it was he who allowed these horseless cavalry to resist the assault of the elite cavalry trained by Zhou Xin himself.
Seeing that this sneak attack could only stop there, Zhou Xin immediately made a decision and ordered the withdrawal of the troops; and Wanyan Guhong did not give the order to pursue, and after this battle, the casualties of Yan Guhong's men reached more than 10,000! This was undoubtedly the biggest loss they had suffered since the attack on Daiguo, and Wanyan Guhong had to pay attention to the defenders in this city.
When night falls, there are a few torches scattered on the city walls, and the busy day makes it rare for everyone to have precious time to rest. Li Zhenzhi stood on the city tower and looked up at the stars, every time he thought of the shame and humiliation of the country, he was speechless.
"Master Li, you've been here for a day, and your direct army has withdrawn, so go and rest. Zhou Xin walked up to Li Zhenzhi and said respectfully.
Li Zhenzhi said worriedly: "Ruzhi's withdrawal of troops is only temporary, and when his 800,000 troops gather, I don't know if this city can be defended." β
As soon as these words came out, including the surrounding soldiers, they were silent. Everyone knows that it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to defend Qingshui City with less than 20,000 people under the attack of 800,000 tigers and wolves.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The ancient style of eating and eating for dinner swayed leisurely, "Qingshui City is isolated and helpless, only Zhangkou County in the south is a horn to each other, which can be helped, it is best to send another army to hold Zhangkou to prevent the back road from being cut off." And also...... I think we should consider the ...... of Zhao's reinforcements"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness!" Li Zhenzhi waved his hand to interrupt the ancient style, and walked down the city tower without looking back.
"Alas...... How could I forget my grandfather's legacy, but you don't believe me, you really shouldn't talk too much today...... Eat the consequences. Gu Feng shook his head and laughed at himself.
Under the city, Li Zhenzhi was worried: "Teacher, when you left, I tried my best to keep Daiguo, what can I do this time." β
