"Get on your horse! Get on your horse quickly! Stop Shu Qi!" Dong Yuan got on his horse, his face still extremely pale. He never imagined that at this juncture, Shuqi would come to kill him.
Also, the timing was despicable.
"I should have left two thousand cavalry to block the way back!" Dong Yuan regretted. Looking around, he found that the charging Shu cavalry entered with long guns. Many pawns who had no time to mount their horses were stabbed to death.
You must know that these cold soldiers are elite men selected by Dong Wen. It is better now that they have fallen into the Shu people's killing in a daze.
Fortunately, they were well-trained elites after all. After leaving behind nearly a thousand corpses, the remaining people finally got back on their horses.
Just waiting for a group of Shu people to rush over, Dong Yuan couldn't wait, his voice full of anger.
"These Shu dogs dare to rush and kill our Liangzhou Jingqi. Send my military order to counterattack Shu Qi immediately!"
"Throw the gun, get ready!"
Before Wei Feng could lead his men to make a detour and start the second round of charge, under the darkness, the throwing guns roared towards them and dropped towards them.
Two to three hundred Shu riders who were shot fell to the ground with their horses and men, unable to stand up again.
"Throw it back!" Wei Feng's eyes were about to burst.
According to Xu Mu's regulations, every Shuqi will bring two guns with him when he goes into battle, one for killing and one for backup. Of course, sometimes when you are at a disadvantage, you will also use it to kill.
Shu Qi, who only waited for Wei Feng's order, turned his horse's head, raised his gun and threw it hard at Liang Qi in front, not to be outdone.
The distance is enough, and the throwing power of the spear is a bit stronger. A man riding a horse fell off his horse in the night, and from time to time someone screamed in panic.
"Listen to my military order, pick up your spears, form a formation, and continue to charge Liangqi!" Wei Feng grabbed the second spare lance from the side of the horse's belly, his voice full of fighting intent.
Dong Yuan, whose head was covered and his head was covered, was even more unwilling to accept it. He gritted his teeth and issued the same order, asking thousands of Liangqi behind him to charge and fight.
For a time, outside the west gate of Lucheng, two cavalry armies were fighting to the death.
…
"Lord, Ximen's military report!"
As early as before, Xu Mu had reserved Baiqi's messenger in the middle of Lucheng for the purpose of quickly delivering information.
"Outside the west gate, General Cavalry Guard and his 5,000 men encountered a Liang Cavalry ambush army and were already locked in a fight."
"Liangqi ambush the army? Do you want a surprise attack?"
Wiping the dust and smoke from his face, he glanced at the fighting outside the city. At this moment, Dong Wen, a lunatic, pushed all the siege equipment forward to attack the city.
I thought something was wrong before, but now that I thought about it more carefully, it was clear that he was trying to contain him and help the ambush army confuse their sight.
Xu Mu frowned.
"Long Gong, you lead two thousand reserve battalions and go to the west gate to help defend."
"Lord, Wei Feng's side..."
"After you pass, I will shoot a signal arrow to notify Wei Feng to retreat."
"Go, my brother."
Gongou nodded and took the order with his fists clasped.
Only after Gongou had gone far did Xu Mu face the battle of defending the enemy again.
"Brother Mu, this little crybaby really looks like a mad dog."
Si Hu's words were not wrong. He probably knew that there was not much time and had no intention of retreating even if it was a night battle. Instead, more and more siege baggage was thrown towards the city gate with bared teeth and claws.
Before Gongou left, he had completed his task perfectly. He burned several of Liang Jun's well-mounted chariots with kerosene and burned them all.
Of course, under Jinglan's long-range shooting, at least half of the soldiers guarding the city were lost, and some of them were barely able to cover the Liang people's phalanx and scale the city wall.
Fortunately, the disaster did not happen, and the battle to hold on was still going on.
…
"Where are Dong Yuan's people!" The war was not going well, and Dong Wen's face became colder and colder. Many methods were used, but the civilian thieves at the gate of the city were blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil. It was frighteningly stable.
One after another, the siege equipment was continuously destroyed by the defenders of Lucheng, and almost all the stones prepared were shot. Even so, the phalanx attacking the city still showed no signs of ascending the city to kill the enemy.
"My lord, Dong Yuan seems to have encountered Shu Qi."
"Shu Qi? Shu Qi! Are you talking in your sleep? So what if you encounter Shu Qi! Eight thousand elite Liang Qi can't defeat Shu Qi. Do you want people from thirty states in the world to laugh out loud!"
"My Lord, he is not the Shuqi of the Dou family, he is the Shuqi of the common thieves..."
Upon hearing this, Dong Wen, who was still cursing angrily, suddenly became a little exhausted.
"Tell me how Dong Yuan's battle is going."
"We were caught in a fierce battle, and we encountered thousands of Shu cavalry, and we were brutally killed, but we should be fine."
When General Liangzhou spoke, his voice became cautious. He suddenly discovered that since the death of Military Advisor Sima, something seemed to be wrong with the Lord in front of him. At least it wasn't so crazy before.
Dong Wen turned his head coldly and looked at Lucheng not far ahead.
Throwing stones and flying arrows were still coming and going, and the fighting and shouting of soldiers on both sides could still be vaguely heard clearly.
But why, it just couldn't be attacked.
Counting the journey back to Liangzhou, there is not much time left. If the civilian thieves are allowed to occupy the two border cities and have a bridgehead to fight against the cold, I'm afraid next year's war will be even more difficult to fight.
"King Liang, it's time to retreat!" Although King Fu Xun's tone was unwilling, he finally spoke hesitantly.
Dong Wen rubbed his forehead for a long time with trembling hands.
"King Fu Xun, please wait a little longer. I have hidden an ambush army and will attack the west gate of Lucheng by surprise. Tomorrow, the last day, will be enough for our troops to return to Liang."
"King Liang, if something happens on the road and we fall into winter snow, I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will suffer from frostbite."
"King Fu Xun, don't talk anymore!"
Dong Wen didn't understand these principles. But again, I am still unconvinced. This army was divided into two groups. According to Sima Xiu's plan, one group should defeat Chengdu first, and the other group would take advantage of the situation to capture Lucheng.
But now, both approaches have failed.
His desperate counterattack would probably turn into a laughing stock.
"Simao mistaken me!" For some reason, Dong Wen suddenly uttered a sentence without hesitation. After hearing this, many generals present felt a look of silence on their faces.
Shocked to realize that something was wrong, Dong Wen frowned and hurriedly changed his words, "What I mean is that if Sima's military advisor is still here, how dare this commoner thief be so rampant!"
"Don't stop, keep attacking the city!"
Without Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, the Liang army on the front line could only march in formation again, and under the cover of throwing stones and flying arrows, they struggled to approach the gate of Lucheng.
"Raise your shield to block the Shu people's flying arrows!"
"Siege vehicles, siege vehicles move forward! If you break open the city gate, King Liang will give you a big reward!"
"Pull the strings full!" The defenders on the top of the city were also unwilling to be outdone and had no intention of being timid.
Xu Mu held his hands, surrounded by many guards, standing on top of the city with the howling night wind, his body standing as tall as a mountain.
