Following Heda'er's words, when they reached about fifty steps in front of the Jin army's line, more than two hundred cyan armored cavalrymen who fired rockets threw away their bows and arrows, turned their horses' heads, and seemed to be fleeing towards the ground. Then galloped away, not even bothering to pull the reins of their second horse this time.
A burst of strong crossbow fire hit the backs of more than twenty cavalrymen. The cavalrymen screamed or groaned and fell off their horses, while the rest, led by Hedaer, fled in a hurry. Soon, the Jin army The chasing horse rushed to the place where the corpses and scattered horses were. They did not bother to behead or lead the horses, but pursued the fleeing horse who had already run dozens of steps away.
Shen Tianzi had a pair of axes stuck on his back, and he immediately stood next to the burning wooden armored robot. The surrounding sergeants kept pouring water and mud on the burning wooden armored robot, but at this moment To no avail, the firelight illuminated Shen Tianzi's face, making his bright eyes flicker.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and the one-eyed Quin ran over. He glanced at the burning wooden armor and sighed: "What a pity. Such a good wooden armor mechanism, Tianzi, I'm not telling you, go into battle." Before that, you should have applied silt to prevent fire."
Shen Tianzi shook his head: "The military situation is like a fire. If we apply the mud slowly and then apply it again, it will probably take more than a quarter of an hour. Then when the enemy cavalry attacks, I won't even have time to come over and guard the flanks. Besides, Zhang Dajiang is the one who feels the most distressed." One, right."
Zhang Gang's eyes were red. When dozens of wooden armored robots were lost just now, he didn't have time to watch, but this wooden armored robot was burned in front of his eyes, and even his two disciples were burned. He didn't even have time to come out. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Revenge, you must take revenge. General Shen, please order an attack. If these cavalry are not destroyed, I will not feel at ease!"
Shen Tianzi frowned: "Our goal is still to attack the gap. These enemy cavalry are just harassment from the flanks, not a serious problem. Zhang Dajiang, don't miss the big deal just because of your anger."
Zhang Gang gritted his teeth: "As long as your infantry go in from the front, my wooden armored machine is used to defend against cavalry and attack the city. Now the enemy cavalry is on the side. As long as General Shen, your thousand sergeants can If you stay with me, just relying on my wooden-armored robots will be enough to destroy one or two thousand enemy cavalry leaving the city!"
Quin shook his head: "No, that's not right. The enemy cavalry is fighting against the city, and that's the city gate. Your wooden armored machinemen can't attack the city even there. It's better to guard the flanks and follow us through this gap." Let’s go into town.”
Zhang Gang shook his head: "The enemy cavalry will be in trouble once they leave the city. They can attack us here, or they can go around to the south of the city to sneak attack the general and disrupt our arrangements elsewhere. When we enter the city, the battle line will be stretched. I think It is not easy to completely defend the flank. Listen to me, the correct way is for the agents to advance to the flank and destroy the enemy cavalry."
Kuai En frowned: "The combat plan was personally issued by Shao Shuai. We can only execute it. Zhang Dajiang, now that we have repelled the attack of the enemy cavalry, the wooden armored machine men can still stay here to guard, wait. After Shaoshuai has reorganized all the infantry, we can attack the city."
Zhang Gang said in a deep voice: "Did you see that the enemy cavalry came out of the city gate in a steady stream? They saw that the gap was blocked by us and could no longer stand out, so they came out from another place in the direction of the city gate. You may be in trouble only if you enter the city. If the enemy uses iron cavalry to surround our siege troops in the city, attack with fire or traps, or even flood and throw rocks to destroy them, it will be too late to regret it by then!"
Shen Tianzi nodded thoughtfully and said, "What Zhang Daxiang said makes sense. If the main force of the enemy's cavalry is outside the city, then our troops entering the city will never be safe."
Zhang Gang's face flashed with a hint of pride, and then turned anxious: "That is, when I was still in Nanyan, I was responsible for designing the mechanisms at the top of the city, but Heipao himself made a lot of arrangements in the city. Since they dared to collapse the city walls, they probably wanted to lure us into the city, and then use various traps to kill and injure our troops entering the city. By then we would be unable to move forward and would retreat outside the city to be charged by the cavalry, even though there were thousands of troops. What's the use of entering the city? Listen to my words and destroy these enemy forces outside the city, so that we can advance and retreat freely."
Shen Tianzi said solemnly: "This time I agree with Zhang Dajiang, Da Zhuang, since we are not entering the city now, why not first deal with the enemy cavalry outside the city, what do you think?"
Kuai En curled his lips and said, "This requires Shao Shuai's order. We'd better act according to the order now. Even if you have new ideas, don't move lightly. At least, now Lin Zi..."
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Shen Linzi came in a hurry with more than ten mounted guards. A hint of joy flashed on Shen Tianzi's face, and he looked at Shen Linzi: "Fourth, you're here just in time, join us quickly. , first destroy the enemy cavalry and then talk."
Shen Linzi glanced at the burning wooden armor machine and said solemnly: "We still have to hold the line. These cavalry coming out of the city gate are just harassing the flanks, not the main force of the enemy. North Sea King Murong The blue-armored cavalry in the town are our thorn in the side."
At this point, he looked into the gap where the smoke and dust still lingered, and frowned: "To say that Murong Town's cavalry collapsed like this, at least I don't believe it. Someone said before that those green-armored cavalry, well , Mr. Zhang, do you know which army they are from?"
Zhang Gang curled his lips and said, "They should be the Yuebu cavalry led by Shangshu Yueshou. They always wear green armor, and it looked like they were the same group from the flag just now."
Shen Linzi nodded: "Well, even the Yuebu's armored cavalry disappeared for a moment, but now they are coming out of the city gate, so we can't take the main force of Murong Town lightly. In my opinion, they are still It’s around this gap.”
Zhang Gang said coldly: "If we are here in the gap, why did even the cavalry of Yuebu attack, while the most elite blue-armored cavalry of Beihai King stood still? What if they also came out of the city gate in a while, and we But the main force entered the gap and entered the city, what should we do?"
Shen Linzi frowned: "Master Zhang, this is just a possibility. As long as your wooden armored machine can guard the flanks here, even if the enemy cavalry comes out from the city gate to attack, it will not cause any big waves. After all, the city The door is only so wide, and it is almost impossible for tens of thousands of cavalry to come out in a short period of time. Besides, if they really come out in large numbers to gather, we can withdraw. In any battle, we must first think about how to be invincible. , Fang is a general!"
