The sound of fighting at the city gate was loud, and such a loud noise had already spread throughout the city. In the general's quarters, Liang Cheng was in a bad mood because his brother was beheaded, and he did not rest.
After hearing the noise, he stood up suddenly and strode outside the room.
He listened carefully and said, "This sound came from the direction of the city gate. There are enemies stealing the city!"
Liang Cheng was able to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and had rich battlefield experience. He immediately understood what was going on.
"Come here! Call the guards quickly!"
Liang Cheng called his attendants, quickly put on his armor, and prepared his long spear and saber. His personal guards were at the camp and were quickly assembled.
I saw three hundred personal guards, all wearing armor and holding swords, looking solemn and fierce.
"General Wei!"
At this time, several civil servants and generals came to the camp one after another, looking a little panicked.
Liang Cheng ignored them, but called a few close men and asked them to quickly send orders to the military camp and check the situation in the city.
At this time, there was a period of chaos in the city.
The normal military system began to operate, news came from the spies one after another, and the movements of the soldiers in the city were also gathered at the general's headquarters.
Through the spies' summary, they came to the conclusion that the enemy who raided the city gate this time was the force that raided the left army not long ago.
"good!"
"How brave! They took the initiative to send troops to our door before I even sent out troops!"
Liang Cheng laughed angrily and walked back and forth for a few steps, the armor on his body rattling, but it still couldn't calm the anger in his chest.
Who would have thought.
After the enemy sneak attack on the left army, they were so bold and wanted to capture Sihong City with up to a thousand troops. The enemy regarded him and the former Qin army as useless.
but.
If Liang Cheng is really defeated by the opponent this time, tens of thousands of people can't beat two or three thousand. If word spreads, he is actually no different from a waste.
Others don't care about your ability or what situation you are in. They only know that your record cannot lie.
"Report! General Wei, Governor Geyang led his troops to support, but unfortunately he was attacked by enemy cavalry and died in battle!"
As soon as he figured out the origin of the enemy, a spy came back to report in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
There was still a hint of disbelief on the spy's face.
"cavalry!"
When Liang Cheng heard this, he forcibly gathered his emotions and said, "The enemy still has cavalry?"
Boom!
There was a dull roar in the distance, which was the sound of cavalry galloping. No wonder Wang Yonghui, the governor, died in battle. He would be caught off guard when he was suddenly attacked by cavalry in the city.
He listened carefully again and suddenly discovered that the direction of the cavalry's surprise attack was heading towards the general's camp.
"General Wei, the enemy's cavalry is fierce. Why don't we temporarily avoid the edge and gather a large army to surround and kill?"
A civil servant came forward tremblingly and suggested.
A trace of greenness flashed across Liang Cheng's face, and he suddenly pulled out his saber and glanced at the clerk coldly, "How dare you, a cowardless man, with a mere hundred cavalrymen, allow me to temporarily evade you?"
"I'm going to conquer Xianbei in the north and Yan in the east. I don't know how many cavalry I've seen. Since they dare to come, I'll let them never come back!"
He didn't dodge, but strode towards the outside of the cabin.
Three hundred personal guards also quickly escorted him outside.
At this time, fires were rising everywhere in the city, and many soldiers on the streets were like headless flies, not knowing how to deal with the current chaos.
When they saw Liang Cheng, they immediately moved closer to Liang Cheng.
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
Liang Cheng shouted with a knife.
His 300 personal guards could be called the divine needle in the sea. They quickly reorganized the soldiers who were approaching, and the swordsmen, archers and spearmen lined up in sequence.
boom!
The sound of horse hooves approached quickly.
Liang Cheng's face was as solid as iron. The moment the cavalry appeared, he immediately ordered to fire arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows roared, and more than a dozen cavalry fell to the ground. The next moment, more cavalry appeared on the road. Led by two generals, they attacked fiercely.
"Well done!"
Liang Cheng gave orders repeatedly, asking the sword and shield men to move forward and the spearmen to stay behind, forming two rows in front and back, and the three hundred guards behind formed a tight formation.
"kill!"
At this time, Wang Jing and Li Kaifang each led their troops and horses to gallop. Wang Jing only led one hundred cavalry under his command, and Li Kaifang led three to four hundred cavalry at the forefront.
Facing the formation of spears in front, Li Kaifang and hundreds of cavalry showed no fear. Instead, his face showed a bloodthirsty ferocity.
They had a bloody feud with the former Qin army.
Now that they have the opportunity to take revenge, none of them will give up.
Boom!
The front row of cavalry moved closer slightly, without any intention of slowing down, and crashed into the spear array and sword shield array. The extremely powerful impact directly caused a huge gap in the general array.
for exchange.
The more than 20 riders at the front also rolled and fell to the ground, their muscles and bones broken, and they lost their breath.
In order to achieve a quick victory, the Taiping Army's cavalry acted as dead soldiers. The cavalry that followed were like surging waves, slamming into the pikemen and sword and shield men behind.
The seemingly tight array, like a beach castle hit by waves, instantly disappeared into nothing.
boom!
Liang Cheng's three hundred armored guards stepped forward. They were elites selected from the tens of thousands of former Qin troops. The leader among them was an old retainer of Liang Cheng.
They were Liang Cheng's support for the former Qin army. They stepped forward and formed a tight formation. Li Kaifang's cavalry rushed towards them. They did not retreat even a step, and after losing dozens of people, they forcefully slowed down the cavalry.
Most of the power of the cavalry lies in charging. A cavalry that cannot charge is worse than an infantry.
In a matter of moments, a dozen Taiping cavalrymen were pulled down and hacked to death.
"Come again!"
At this time, Wang Jing led a hundred cavalry and rushed in. The spears were like phantoms, and the men and horses were one, like the second huge wave hitting the beach, and like a giant hammer hitting the wall.
A roar! Wang Jingwei's sharp edge moved forward fiercely and he rushed into the three hundred iron armor array.
"Brothers, take revenge and kill with me!"
When Li Kaifang saw this, his energy and blood surged up. He suddenly let out a roar and led the cavalry into the gap that was opened. Hundreds of cavalry and three hundred armored men fought against each other.
Under the night.
The cavalry and infantry rolled back and forth, and Wang Jing's Donghu cavalry was also desperately held back by Liang Cheng's armored guards.
no way.
Wang Jing's hundreds of cavalry are all light cavalry and are not good at breaking formations. Under normal circumstances, they should rely on speed and space to tear the enemy's formation back and forth.
However... they are surrounded by house walls and there is no way to go around. The role of the cavalry was largely eliminated.
In the close combat, the cavalry lost speed and power instantly.
Wang Jing jumped up, his spear shooting out sharp energy, whipping up the strong wind, blowing away the armored guards in front of him, and rushed out forcefully.
"General Wei, be careful!"
Several civil servants standing in the office screamed when they saw this scene.
Wang Jing abandoned his horse and fought on foot, his eyes already fixed on Liang Cheng.
