Chapter 378 Crazy Riding (speed up 24 for [-] monthly tickets)

Looking at the remnants of the Qi soldiers climbing up the city wall like a swarm of ants, Xiang Yu and Lu Bu were not very interested in them. They just gave a simple evaluation. In their opinion, such siege speed and siege skills are not as good as those of Qi. The Western Rong soldiers are close.

"But the general guarding the city is somewhat similar to the Zhao Chengguang I met in Pingyang County before!" Lu Bu looked at the city wall in the distance, and the screams of fighting penetrated the sky and faintly came to his ears, "It's a pity that he is a general of the Liang Kingdom's clan. There’s no reason to stay.”

"Haha, it would be nice to have more generals like this in this world. I want to meet more of them. When I competed with Liu Bang, except for Han Xin, who was somewhat capable, the rest were like ants."

Xiang Yu pursed his lips, remembering what happened back then, and then he raised his riding crop boldly and cracked it in the air: "Don't let me down."

"Haha, a certain family thinks so too."

While Lu Bu and Xiang Yu were talking, they suddenly frowned slightly. In their eyes, they seemed to have observed different movements on the battlefield. There was some smoke and dust in the wilderness to the east of Taikang.

This is not unfamiliar to the two people who often lead the cavalry: "You really dare to leave the city?"

"Send an order to Xu Mao and guard his right flank. There are cavalry appearing east of Taikang!" Lu Bu immediately summoned a commanding cavalry and asked the other party to go over with his order.

"Aren't we going?" Xiang Yu's hands were itchy.

"Wait until His Majesty says that this army will be fully tempered."

Following Lu Bu's order, the cavalry carrying the order rushed down the hillside with the order flag on their backs, ran along the foot of the slope towards the plain, and ran towards the rear formation of Qi's surrender troops in front. While shooting loud arrows, they turned out the order flag on their backs. , waving towards the opposite side, Xu Mao, who was originally in command, looked a little shocked when he heard the news brought by Ling Qi. After all, he had been defeated one after another by the Fushan Army before, and he felt somewhat shadowy in his heart.

He sat on horseback and looked east, and then reacted very quickly and issued the order, "Let Zhao Ji'an on the right wing immediately lead his army to advance three miles east and set up a position to resist the Fushan Army!"

At the same time, Tuoba Zongjue on the city wall also noticed changes outside the city. He turned his head and looked east. The moment he saw the smoke and dust, his heart was lifted.

"What's going on?! Why are the Fushan Army outside the city!"

"It's Da Dutong, he quietly got off the city wall..."

"I knew he wouldn't listen! He's young and energetic... If I had known I would have removed his military power... I'd beat the drum immediately and send the military order to him to return to the city immediately!"

It is hard not to be angry with Tuoba Zong when he is young and ambitious, but he does not want to undermine his opponent's self-confidence. After all, if a general loses his self-confidence, how can he lead the army to victory, but now Tuoba Congwu's disobedience to orders caught him off guard.

Once he arrived in the wilderness and met Xia's cavalry, he could not predict the outcome. Once defeated, it would be a huge blow to the newly improved morale.

And outside the city, there was no way to send fast horses to chase, so we could only beat the drums to send orders. Now we could only hope that Tuoba Congwu would hear the drums and return in time.

Lingqi beside him had already climbed up the tower. The second floor was actually the drum tower. Lingqi immediately ordered the drummer to beat the drum to convey the message.

Boom!

dong dong!

Liang Guo's unique message drum was beaten, and accompanied by the fierce offensive and defensive battle on the city walls, it spread across the city wall and spread to the wilderness. At this time, in Xu Mao's military formation, Zhao Ji'an on the right wing was also mobilizing troops amid the sound of the trumpet. The horse advanced three miles eastward and took up position.

In the distance, smoke and dust were thick, and the rumble of horse hooves was coming.

The remnant soldiers who took up the position, according to the order issued by Zhao Ji'an, more than [-] people formed a large formation in one direction in five overlapping small formations.

Archers were placed in the middle of each formation to protect them, and the voices of generals and commanders at all levels also shouted.

"Raise the bow!"

The crossbows raised their heads to the sky with a "clatter" sound. In the array in front, the shields were stuck to the ground. The infantry squatted behind the shields and held it with their shoulders. Another row of infantry behind them stepped forward with their shields. , the upper part was also blocked with shields, forming a shield wall, and then spears stretched out of the gaps in the shields, forming a dense forest of spears.

The midday sun shone on the earth, and the atmosphere became chilly. Shouts of morale-boosting were still coming and going. Liang Guo's Fushan Cavalry rode on iron hoofs that shook the earth, moving forward like a furious tide, crushing towards them.

Zhao Ji'an, who was in the rear formation with more than [-] people, clenched the hilt of his sword, grinned, and stared at the group of cavalry getting closer and closer, breathing heavily and his eyelids shaking desperately.

This Liang Guo Fushan Cavalry had defeated them many times, and anyone would be frightened when they met again, but thinking that the Xia Emperor's elite cavalry was also nearby, he and his soldiers had no way out.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am not so afraid anymore.

"If you don't retreat, fight to the death!" he shouted loudly.

The soldiers in the front military formation felt the pressure brought by the cavalry's impact. They clenched and pressed the barrels of their guns, and opened their mouths to roar. In the past few days, they had seen too many deaths. They were brothers and had a good relationship with each other. All of his comrades died. Many people are now left alive to return to their homeland.

They all want to go back alive.

On the opposite side, Tuoba Congwu clamped his big gun and shouted before charging into the battle, "Crush them!" A surge of momentum suddenly appeared on his body, and he wrapped himself back.

Secret Technique: Pushing the Mountain!

The [-] Fushan troops behind him, plus [-] Qingqi, became boiling inexplicably, and then let out the same roar.

Then, like a sweeping torrent, it rushed towards the military formation on the opposite side!

boom--

The high-speed charging cavalry collided with shields and guns, and the bodies of men and horses instantly made a terrifying collision sound.

Amidst the continuous crashing sound like a huge wave, a large number of shields shattered and flew away, and the guns crackled and broke. The remaining soldiers holding the shields were trampled under the iron hoofs. Pushed crazily backwards, the colliding horse couldn't hold on and tumbled in the crowd with the knight on its back.

The passionate shouts just now turned into terrifying sounds at this moment. The screams of war horses, the screams of people, high-pitched orders, the breaking of weapons, and the sound of being stabbed into flesh and blood instantly formed a cruel scene on the battlefield.

The running Fushan cavalry carried unparalleled momentum and crushing force. In the dense array, the defending infantry were knocked down one by one by the horses. Their flesh and bones were trampled to pieces by iron hoofs. Some of the running horses were also killed in the collision. The spear penetrated the body and fell down with a bang. The knight on horseback flew into the air with a scream of "Ah!", fell heavily into the crowd, and was then nailed to the ground by the surrounding spears.

Nearly eight thousand cavalry rushed into the crowd. At this moment, many people were hit and stabbed to death in front of the charging horses and spears.

More cavalry from behind are still rushing up, tearing open the gap at high speed, and rushing towards the center of the formation. The first cavalry to rush in follow Tuoba Congwu and attack the general's flag, while the cavalry coming in from behind continue to stay in the formation. Spread in all directions.

The two thousand light cavalry at the back, at the moment when the cavalry entered the formation, circled the two wings and kept shooting arrows at the two wings of the formation, preventing them from encircling their own cavalry in the middle.

The results of the terrifying charge finally broke out. Zhao Ji'an looked at General Liang who was constantly charging at him. His hand holding the handle of the knife was trembling.

"Don't retreat... don't retreat... let the troops behind press up and form a shield wall!"

He suppressed the fear in his heart and once again sent the two thousand infantrymen behind him to form a new array in front of him, increasing the thickness of the entire array. However, facing the Fushan Army cavalry who still retained their momentum, these shabby armors The remaining soldiers can only use their bodies to fill in the gaps and slow down the opponent.

However, at least it had some effect and blocked it for a while.

In the span of a cup of tea, the soldiers and horses in Zhao Ji'an's hands collapsed again and spread out in all directions. Fushan's army was no longer blocked in the wilderness, running westward towards Xu Mao, who was attacking the city. army.

When Xu Mao and Xu Jinwu heard the news, they were so angry that they almost fell off their horses. They thought that through the various disastrous defeats during this period, their soldiers could risk their lives and survive, but they did not expect that they were still so useless.

"Let Xu Jinwu continue to attack the city, and I will stop the Liang cavalry!"

As a general, this is not what he should do, but he had no choice. Xu Mao issued the last general order and led more than [-] people under his command to the east.

At this time, on the hills to the south, seeing the performance of Liang Guo's cavalry, the two leading Chinese generals showed as much joy as hunters.

Afterwards, the String Controlling Wolf Rider blew the horn.

Five thousand cavalry rushed down the gentle slope in an orderly manner, like a tide on the plain. Under the bright sunshine, two people each led one, just like two long dragons, rushing towards Fushan who was running towards Xu Mao's main formation. Ride around and go over.

"Haha, my uncle said you are very strong, but I want to see how strong you are!"

Tuoba Congwu looked south and made a gesture to tell the cavalry in front to turn around and follow him towards the southern wilderness.

Nearly eight thousand iron cavalry and two thousand light cavalry immediately challenged the two battle-hardened five thousand wolf cavalry!

In the distance, Tuoba Zongjue, who was commanding the city's defenders on the top of the city, heard Ling Qi's reminder and looked at the wilderness in the direction he was pointing. He was so angry that he stamped his feet and roared.

"Die!!"

He turned around, picked up the long sword, rushed down the city wall, and called Ximu Langluo, the deputy commander of the trekking cavalry, and told him to rescue Tuoba from the force.
