Yu Qiujin said in a deep voice: "Understood, we will all fight to the death with all our strength. We can delay it for a while. Big Stone, don't keep us waiting for too long!"
Without saying a word, Sun Chu rode out on his horse. As he ran, he waved the big bow in his hand and shouted: "Gongqi, follow me!"
The cavalry, which were emerging from ambush in all directions, began to move quickly. The lightly armored horse archers jumped out of the group. They did not mix with the heavy armored cavalry as usual, but formed alone, in twos and threes, following Sun Chu. Behind them, a team of two to three hundred riders gradually formed.
In the process of running, they quickly formed a cavalry formation. These warriors from each team and building were well-trained and could form a team of five people, a team of ten people, or a team of five people while running. The highest-ranking officer automatically became the captain. Within a distance of about two miles, nearly three hundred horse archers formed six cavalry groups, and more than ten armored guards surrounded Sun Chu. , and the other six teams of riders have already completed their formation, and are less than a mile away from the city gate.
Sun Chu stopped his horse and turned to look at the knights behind him. He suddenly laughed: "Brothers, are you bored after lurking for a long time?!"
Amid a burst of laughter, a loud voice shouted: "Otherwise, it's okay, but these mosquitoes are so annoying to my grandma. They sting me all over the body, and it's hard to pat them, so I have to endure them!"
Sun Chu laughed: "Hu Laoliu, what, do you have enough blood? If we fight soon, will you have diarrhea?"
The cavalry captain, Hu Laoliu, laughed and raised the big bow in his hand: "It's okay. The mosquito bites me. Let these swallows and dogs pay with their blood. My sharp arrows are already hungry and thirsty!" "
Sun Chu nodded, put away his smile, and pointed to the city gate in front of him. More than two hundred blue-cloaked Beihai King's cavalry were already arrayed about a hundred paces in front of the city gate. They had obviously noticed the Jin cavalry. Approaching, due to the smoke and dust in the rear, these Yan cavalry did not know how many men and horses the opponent had. At this time, they adopted a defensive formation and stood ready. The two cavalry were next to each other, one holding a shield, the other holding a bow, and the horses were stuck on both sides. Riding on the edge, it is obvious that he is preparing to use on-the-spot shooting to deal with the enemy's surprise attack. If the enemy approaches, he will engage in fighting.
Sun Chu said loudly: "Brothers, have you seen that what you have in front of you is the elite of the Yan State, all armored cavalry? When we were in Linqu, we fought against them, and I have to say that these are the most elite armored cavalry of the Yan Army. , and also the best cavalry in the world!"
Hu Laoliu said sternly: "I am fighting the elite. So what if we are all armored cavalry? We were beaten to pieces in the battle at Linqu. Today is our chance to make new achievements! General Sun, give us the order and let us gallop." Whether it's shooting or rushing into battle, if you blink your eyes for half a moment, you're not a good man!"
Sun Chu laughed and said: "Okay, he is very brave and a good man. He is indeed the elite soldier brought out by Brother Ashou. Hu Laoliu, after today's battle, if you and I don't die, I will definitely stay drunk with you." Return!"
Hu Laoliu said loudly: "General, give the order. I know that our attack is to buy time for the chariot brothers behind. It is up to us to take the initiative to attack now. If the enemy cavalry rushes over, it will be difficult for us alone." Block it! Even if we all die in battle, we still have to block these enemy cavalry in the city!"
Sun Chu nodded vigorously: "Good brother, you can see very clearly and accurately. Therefore, in this battle, we will not retreat after shooting. We must hold the enemy troops firmly in place. When necessary, we need to If you go against them, many brothers may die in battle, but for the victory, it is worth it, who is willing to attack first?!"
Without saying a word, Hu Laoliu rode out directly. The group of archers behind him roared forward, and Hu Laoliu's voice came from afar along the wind: "Old Sun, if I can't come back , take good care of my wife and children!”
At the gate of the city, Murong Lin was fully armored, holding a big bow with four stones and five buckets. He was stationed behind the formation. Gongsun Liuxiu's voice sounded from behind him: "General Xiaolin, what are you doing? You are blocking the gate of the city. La."
Murong Lin didn't look back and said in a deep voice: "Don't General Sixth Cultivator see the enemy's arrival and want to attack our troops leaving the city?"
Gongsun Liuxiu rode to Murong Lin's side and gritted his teeth and said: "It's because the enemy has an ambush and rushed towards us all at once, so we can't stay here. We should use an indomitable momentum and rush directly towards the enemy and stop here." Here, if we are passively beaten, the troops behind us will not be able to break out."
Murong Lin shook his head and pointed at the front a few miles wide in front. At this time, the sky was filled with smoke, dust and sand. Shadows of people and horses were everywhere. The sound of killings came and went. Along with the thundering sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, there was no telling how many troops there were. As they were coming, Murong Lin said in a deep voice: "The strength of the enemy's army is unknown. We cannot attack rashly at this time. The best strategy is to firmly hold our army's line and rely on the bows and arrows and crossbows at the top of the city. I did not block the way out of the city. There is still a gap in the passage. After you leave the city, you can spread out to the two wings to expand the front of our army as much as possible."
Gongsun Liuxiu shook his head: "No, the space you left is too small. At this position after the formation, we can't array according to the original formation even when we leave the city. We have to line up to the side and cannot attack. Xiao Lin General, you should take the lead in attacking and break through the enemy's forward first. As for the follow-up, we will continue to come to support you."
Having said this, he glanced at He Lanmin, who was surrounded by dozens of cavalry in the hollow formation behind the formation, and whispered: "Besides, Mrs. Helan, is it appropriate for you to put her here? She is subjected to repeated attacks by the enemy. , shooting arrows, if there is any damage, how do you explain it to the national master?"
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "I am a former army general. I have to be responsible for these two hundred brothers and two thousand armored cavalry soldiers, not for one person who can put them in danger. General Sixth Cultivator , you are so eager to rush us to the front to fight, do you really want to lead the army to go elsewhere?"
Gongsun Liuxiu's face changed slightly: "Don't think nonsense. You are the pioneers and we are the successors. We all obey orders. How can there be any way to go elsewhere? However, I remind you that if you miss the opportunity to fight, you will end up If you don't stick out, then I'm afraid even your handsome father won't be able to protect you. The word has been conveyed, so I'm sorry."
Having said this, Gongsun Liuxiu turned his horse back and galloped into the city gate.
Murong Lin gritted his teeth, turned to the messenger behind him and said solemnly: "Welcome the enemy's three attacks, use your strong bow to hold down the position. If the enemy cannot make three attacks, counterattack across the board!"
