Chapter 262: Wind and Fire 1

The cold snow of the Longmen camp will not extinguish the fire under the city of Ganzhou.

The slaughter of 10,000 people was already tragic, and by the time the number reached 100,000, reason was gradually drowned out.

At the head of the city, there were piles of sassal trees, and bows and arrows pointed diagonally.

There are also unimaginable bursts of foul smell wafting, and those who smell it want to be sick.

Smoke billowed out, and there were even more blazing flames under more than a dozen copper tripods. These copper tripods are the origin of this taste, and the things boiled in the pot are not water or oil, but specially collected human and animal feces and urine, plus arsenic and other highly toxic mixtures, called golden juice.

The discomfort at the beginning is now gradually getting used to it. Liu Xiaozhi looked around, a white handkerchief was wet and attached to his mouth and nose, and he came to Yun Zheng's side and whispered: "My lord, everything is ready, no matter what the result is, Ganzhou will be solid." ”

Yun Zheng hummed softly, did not speak, his eyes were still focused on the city, gathered on Wu Kedi's body for a while, and then looked at Hu Che'er, and then turned into a back and forth search.

"My lord ... Are you looking for someone?" asked Willow Twig softly. There are only two kinds of living creatures in the city, people and horses, and Yun Zheng's purpose is naturally to find people.

Yun Zheng nodded, and said thoughtfully: "You must know about the overseer's coming to Ganzhou. But where would he be now?"

"This... Liu Xizhi thought for a while and guessed, "Will it enter the city?"

"No, don't you just look for us directly when you enter the city, who do we need to hide from in this Wang Bachi?" Gou Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"It's not in the city, it's naturally outside the city?" Dongfang Han is still the same cold face.

"That's what our family thinks, too. Yun Zheng nodded, and then wondered: "If it's outside the city, where will it be? In the midst of this chaos?"

"No... No way. Gou Xiaoyun looked down a few times, thinking about the possibility of what Yun Zheng said, and couldn't help but shudder.

This kind of scene, not to mention the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, is a gold poured copper and there is only a dead end. Gou Xiaoyun didn't think that a wise and martial overseer would do such a stupid thing.

"If it doesn't ... What are the variables?" Yun Zheng didn't say the last question, and looked at Wu Kedi's side again.

The 5,000 guards went to 3,000 before, and more than 2,000 were scattered in the formation, and now there were probably more than 300 people around Wu Kedi. The sword was swung and slashed, and the horse was followed.

Wu Kedi's expression in the center was grim, analyzing the situation in the formation.

Chance?

Five-five-open. Surrounded on all sides and outnumbered, the cavalry's most formidable impact was gone, but the superior equipment still had a huge advantage over the Tartars.

But fifty percent of the odds of winning is not enough, at least seventy percent before there is any meaning to continue. Especially his final goal, not to kill this group of Tartars, but to retain the greatest strength, to attack the city!

Wu Kedi looked up at the black flag at the head of the city and squinted his eyes. An arrow flew out of nowhere and hit him in the shoulder blade. After a crisp "ding", it was bounced aside by the fine iron armor.

This is the crushing of equipment, unless it is knocked off the horse, otherwise it only has the ability of the Longmen Iron Horse to kill people, and there is no reason to be cut and killed.

Therefore, in the hour of the battle to this moment, the Longmen Iron Cavalry suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and at this price, the tens of thousands of Tartars were already less than 100,000.

"It's not the way to go. Wu Kedi muttered, it is still necessary to jump out of the circle and reproduce the re-riding formation, so that there is a possibility of a quick victory.

Thinking like this, under the golden covering, Wu Kedi said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, shake the position, and leave the guard camp quickly!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the order was conveyed among the three hundred guards, and then, the chant of the three hundred people rang out: "Shake the position, the guards leave quickly!"

"Shock the exchange position, the guards leave quickly!"

"Shock the exchange position, the guards leave quickly!"

Three times in a row, the roars of three hundred people were enough to convey Wu Kedi's order.

The five thousand guards in the field began to rush out of the battle formation to the east.

They were going to the east, and then they were going to charge west, running through the battlefield. Under the iron face of the lion and tiger, almost everyone understood Wu Kedi's unique code of using gossip to refer to the direction.

Almost, because there is one exception among them. The armor is wide and the body is slightly thin, but I didn't notice it for a while in the confusion...

Fortunately, this code is not complicated, Xu Ruyi understands it, in fact, even if he doesn't understand it, it's nothing. Just follow the team.

Riding east, Xu Ruyi suddenly felt a little funny.

I did a lot of calculations, thinking that this group of Tartars would join forces with Wu Kedi to attack the city. I was so frightened that I didn't hesitate to send a desperate letter to the palace to ask for help from the Ningxia guards, and I was even more prepared to do the old thing of leaving Jing Ke as a last resort, but I didn't expect that under the city, the two groups of people would fight by themselves like this, and it was not acting, it was obviously a real fire.

"Fight, fight, it's better to be all dead. Xu Ruyi hooked the corners of his mouth silently, but he still wondered in his heart the reason for the sudden break between the two sides, what was it for?

Xu Ruyi's doubts could not be answered at this moment, and in the distance, there was a subtle voice in his ears...

"Grandpa, there are still ten miles to Ganzhou City, and the city is already in a mess, and the situation is scorching. ”

"Probe!"

"Yes!"

The light cavalry scout who had just returned galloped away, and in the blink of an eye, another horse came to reply: "Grandpa, Wu Kedi led the crowd to break out of the encirclement and gather in the east, and it seems that he intends to charge in formation." ”

"To the east, that is to turn your back to us? ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunwen issued a holy decree, led by the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the secretary of the Ministry of War and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ordered Li Jinglong to lead 70,000 soldiers and horses in Ningxia to rush to the city of Ganzhou to aid the lone army of Dongchang and quell the rebellion.

Judgment, this is the tone set by the imperial court.

Li Jinglong exhausted six horses all the way, and finally arrived at the Ningxia Wei garrison half a month ago. The emperor's decree, the publication of the military department, everything is in order, and no one in the whole army of Ningxia Wei said anything, and Li Jinglong naturally took over the power. After some integration, the local Ding Zhuang was requisitioned and sent as grain and grass to escort, and everything was ready to stop, and the army marched westward.

Ningxiawei's 70,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000 light cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry, a total of 10,000 cavalry, the equipment is not excellent, but it is not bad. The remaining 60,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 55,000 infantry armor soldiers with guns and knives, are ordinary, but the remaining 5,000 men and horses are not ordinary.

Ningxia Wei's journey to Ganzhou City was not too far, if there was a hurry, four days of kung fu would have arrived, but they walked for ten days, the reason is that these five thousand foot soldiers, or more precisely, their weapons are too unique, three hundred... Hongwu Iron Cannon. 10
