"It's General Zheng! It's the brothers of the Wolf Guard!"
Zhang San's sharp eyes recognized the bearded Zheng Lue at a glance. They hadn't seen each other for half a year, but this person was still so easy to recognize. He had a dark face and an unshaven beard, and he liked to be the first one. Who else could it be?
Hearing the enemy attack, Zhang Si, who had just led a team to chase the anti-thief scout team, was hesitating in anger, but he didn't expect that the people coming were his own family members. He hurriedly asked his men to put down their crossbows: "Stop, everyone, it's my brother!"
Xu Zongwen also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He looked at Zheng Lue who was dismounting and running towards him. He rushed forward and kicked him, laughing and scolding: "I thought it was Sun Thief's ambush! You boy almost got hit by a crossbow arrow." Full of hedgehogs!”
Although Xu Zongwen was indeed frightened, he was still polite and unforgiving.
Zheng Lue knew he was in the wrong, so he was ordered to ambush outside the city. When he saw Sun En attacking Wu County at night, he received Zhuge Kan's order and was about to lead his troops to attack the rebels attacking the city outside the city. Unexpectedly, in this small isolated mountain Douling encountered the Suzaku Camp who was heading north for a sneak attack!
"Brother, you're here! This battle we fought was really frustrating. We must capture Sun En alive this time and avenge the dead Wolf Guard brothers!" Before the battle officially started, Zheng Lue's eyes were filled with tears. Red and red.
"Greetings to the lord!" The sergeants of the Wolf Guard saw their long-lost coach and dismounted one by one. As Xu Zongwen's direct guards, their loyalty to Xu Zongwen is naturally self-evident!
"Brother!" Zheng Lue, fully armored and armed with a spear, came on horseback.
Xu Zongwen didn't say much. It seemed that Zhuge Kan had already left a secret plan for Zheng Lue to lurk outside the city. He had complete plans and was well prepared!
Zheng Lue was originally ordered to command the second battalion of Zhaoyao and Tianji together with Shen Yu. For some reason, Xu Zongwen disrupted the previous deployment of the Xiaoqi Army and handed over his Wolf Guard to Zhuge Kan and his command. Now he has He really couldn't figure out how to mobilize Zhuge Kan's five thousand fine cavalry to go south.
Zheng Lue was not a roundworm in Xu Zongwen's belly, so how could he know that Xu Zongwen's move was to improve the tacit understanding between the generals and battalions of the Xiaoqi Army?
"Okay, come with me to attack. First, we will turn Sun En's camp upside down!" Xu Zongwen patted Zheng Lue. This guy looked like General Jingyuan, and he clearly looked like a very angry little daughter-in-law. !
"No, big brother! I will listen to you!" Zheng Lue wiped his eyes and said hello. The hundreds of wolf guards behind him immediately followed the horses of Suzaku Camp and began to go out of the mountain and circle to the east of Sun En's camp.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves coming from both wings, the generals of the anti-thief army were startled, knowing that something big was going on.
Xu Zongwen and Zheng Lue each led more than a hundred cavalry in a long line, approaching the anti-traitor camp from both sides on the east side of Sun En's camp. Just when they were about to hit the main camp, the horses turned around and the two teams were parallel to the camp gate and walking in opposite directions. As they crisscrossed each other, the knights raised their bows and fired arrows.
"This Sun En is really mediocre. The large camp with tens of thousands of people doesn't even have a decent defense."
Xu Zongwen saw it clearly. Except for the hundreds of anti-bandit troops guarding the outside, not to mention the Luzhai outside the gate, there was no preparation for horseback or trenches. Such a camp was like nothing to the brave and good cavalry troops, who could come and go freely!
After passing by, Xu Zongwen and Zheng Lue turned their horses, led the cavalry behind them, and ran far away to the two wings. Then their horses stepped onto the camp. The camp without fences was like a surprise attack by the Xiaoqi Army. It's an open door, come and go as you please.
Standing at a high altitude, you can see that the other half, a pair of Suzaku cavalry led by Zhang Gui and two teams of fine cavalry on Xu Zongwen's side, are like three centipedes, passing by both sides of the rebel camp.
After a series of rapid arrow shots, the dense and sharp feet of the centipede, after several attacks back and forth, stabbed Sun En's camp to pieces.
Xu Zongwen raised a steel sword and shouted in unison with hundreds of cavalrymen: "For the sake of the Jin Dynasty, kill the thieves!"
One rider in the Suzaku camp unfurled a red flag, showing Xu Zongwen's handsomeness, and another rider blew the horn.
The bright red fluttering red flag is like fire, and the powerful and low sound of the trumpet is the wind. The fire uses the wind to burn the dark night and boil everyone's blood.
On the other side, Zhang Gui was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, killing with great pleasure. He raised his long knife and shouted: "Mother, kill the thief!"
Zhang Gui took the lead and rushed over. The following hundreds of riders roared and shouted, raised their swords and guns, followed behind them, and roared straight into the depths of the camp.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting broke out in Sun En's camp. The fire was burning and was about to burn people's eyes. There was a mess in the sea of fire.
The rebels in the camp were crying for their fathers and mothers, screaming every day and being unable to do anything. They could only wait silently for death and the extreme pain on their body, hair and skin, struggling in pain and making noisy noises. The love of the last moment of life!
Zhang Gui abandoned the broken long knife. He held the saddle and bent down to pick up an 80-pound Xuanhua mountain ax from the top, and struck it left and right. The rebels blocking the front were blown away like leaves. The fight got heated, and Zhang Gui struck an anti-thief cavalry horse on the neck with an axe.
"hiss--"
I saw that the war horse, with its thick neck bent at a strange angle, actually carried its owner, lifted its hooves off the ground, and flew several feet away.
After a while, the rebel cavalry was stained red with blood, as eye-catching as the flying red flag of the heroic cavalry behind him.
With Zheng Lue taking the lead, the Suzaku soldiers behind him all moved forward bravely, slashing with spears and knives, stabbing with spears and hammering, like a flood sweeping everything.
Xu Zongwen felt that his whole body was almost burned dry by the raging fire, and the excitement and excitement in his chest were breaking through his skin and armor.
He roared and was about to rush forward with more than ten soldiers, when he was held back by Zhang San.
"My lord, Sun En's camp is in chaos. My lord has given an order not to fight before going to war. Please put the overall situation first!"
Xu Zongwen pulled the reins, but he was unwilling to give in: "You are right. When Sun En reacts, we will immediately be trapped in a tight siege. We will take advantage of this opportunity to merge the three armies and drive back the enemy troops attacking the city. This battle That’s the real victory.”
"My lord is wise!"
"That's it." Xu Zongwen said coldly.
"As you command!"
Zheng Lue led hundreds of cavalry, and with one charge he completely broke up the formation of the anti-thief troops surrounding Sesun En's camp in front of him. After going around in a circle, they met Zhang Gui and Zhang Si's team who had come back, and immediately launched a second assault on the scattered anti-thief army.
The elite anti-thief army was unwilling to give up and fought back vigorously. They are still fierce and life-threatening, and their fighting ability is not inferior to that of the past. But what they encountered was the invincible main force of the Valiant Cavalry.
People like the Suzaku Camp and the Wolf Guard were originally selected elites from the tens of thousands of knights, and their fierce fighting power was not inferior to that of the Hu Cavaliers from the north.
After the Northern Expedition was temporarily over, they received reorganization and training in Luoyang. In three months, in addition to improving their own riding and shooting skills, their tactical cooperation has improved by leaps and bounds.
Team of three, attack-cover-support. Three small groups and one small group cooperate with each other. In addition, there are communication and coordination methods such as sign language and whistles that are understood by outsiders but not understood by outsiders. Once the fight begins, it is like mercury pouring down the ground, advancing layer by layer and completing it in one go.
Combat strength plus tactics, plus organized formations to break up scattered formations, Xia Jun suffered a big loss in just one confrontation. Next, the Yi Cong team pressed Xia Jun to fight.
Zhang San, who was shooting arrows from the outside for cover, felt relaxed and happy. The battle was fierce and bloody, but the situation was clearly visible to the naked eye.
"My lord has an order, withdraw the troops!" Zhang San saw it enthusiastically, but he was not confused. He immediately ordered people to withdraw the troops. Upon hearing the order to withdraw the troops, all the troops of the Xiaoqi Army began to evacuate Sun En's camp in an orderly manner, all in unison. The ground galloped away in one direction.
After several fierce battles, Sun En's camp was in flames, lighting up half of the sky. The rebel army also left thousands of corpses and wounded people behind, and the rest were like headless flies, fleeing in panic.
"My lord, this is Sun En's general Lu Xun."
After Zhang Gui's attack, he came back with his troops and pointed at a rebel soldier who was tied tightly but struggling desperately.
"What is he shouting about?" Xu Zongwen asked a red flag follower beside him. He is a party member.
"Lord, this person said."
After Xu Zongwen finished listening, his eyes were bright and clear.
"Don't clean the battlefield, evacuate as soon as possible!" He waved his hand.
Treating the wounded, gathering the horses, beheading the heads, and tying up the prisoners, the process was swift and the movements were skillful, leaving Guo Shang who was accompanying him dumbfounded.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Zongwen and his party left corpses all over the ground, as well as broken armor and weapons that were not uncommon. They left like a whirlwind and disappeared into the moonlight of the night.
When Zhang Gui, Zheng Lue and others who made a sneak attack on the rebel camp returned to the gate of Wu County, the Jingqi who followed the army were covered with blood and scars, but their faces were proud of themselves, but the rebels who had just escaped from the camp were Everyone was thinking about the chance of survival after the disaster, and had a lot of thoughts. When talking about the Jin army's elite cavalry, they all had lingering fears and showed fear on their faces!
"What? The camp was attacked and General Lu was captured alive?" Sun En was shocked. He was sitting in the middle of the army to suppress Sun Zhong's formation, but unexpectedly a fire broke out in the backyard and the camp was attacked!
When Sun En rushed to the camp, nearly a thousand heads fell on the gate of the camp. Those in the anti-thief army who had served in various county offices could see at a glance that they were taking the initiative to attack the camp. They are all new forces of the Jin army and elites. It is not an ordinary army with low combat effectiveness like the county soldiers from various places who cower in the face of war or directly defect. Otherwise, they would not be able to defeat the garrison of the camp so easily, as if they were in an uninhabited country.
The defeated soldiers reported that their scouts suddenly encountered these Jin troops during their patrol. These Jin troops responded extremely quickly and made prompt decisions. They also adopted a series of tactics such as escaping to lure the enemy, turning back and firing rapidly, outflanking on both wings, and breaking through the center. Defeated in one fell swoop.
However, due to the darkness of the night and the unfamiliar terrain, the various scout teams scattered by the anti-thief army were not completely wiped out. However, even the main camp was captured. In comparison, those scout teams were nothing more than fly legs.
"Which Jin army is leading the night attack? Did the enemy fall from the sky?" Sun En was furious. Tens of thousands of troops were already at a disadvantage in attacking the city, but now they have lost their camp, and the defeat is obvious!
"General, general, it's my lord, my lord's reinforcements have arrived!" Liu Yu stumbled across the corpses on the ground at the top of the city, in front of Zhuge Kan who came in a hurry.
The fierce fighting under the city, the chaotic position of the rebel army, and the enemy camp with flames in the distance all fell into Zhuge Kan's eyes. Even if Liu Yu didn't say anything, he knew that his mission was about to be completed. Got it!
"My lord, my lord is here to save us!" Zhuge Kan shouted towards the wolf guard behind him.
"My lord! My lord is here!"
"Our reinforcements have arrived, come out of the city and kill the thieves!"
The officers and men of the Wolf Guard were Xu Zongwen's personal guards, and their loyalty to Xu Zongwen was unparalleled in the Qiaoqi Army. Suddenly, when they heard that their lord was leading an army to rescue him, all of their exhausted bodies straightened up! There seemed to be endless energy in their hands, and each of them, armed with a crossbow, began to fight back against the scattered formation of the anti-thief siege troops who were gradually retreating after realizing that they were surrounded...
