Without continuing to pay attention to the topic, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) pulled Gao Xun to no one and continued to ask:

"Senior brother, Uncle Guang sent someone to say that the Xian army is attacking Ximen, Senior Brother thinks, but Ye Xin's department?"

"No, Ye Xin only has 20,000 people, even if the West Gate defenders only have two or three thousand people, it seems unlikely that 20,000 people will cross the moat and only attack the West Gate. Besides, there should be more than 10,000 rebels at the four gates, Ye Xin only attacked the west gate, wouldn't the rebels send troops from the other three gates to reinforce them, so how could there be a chance of victory, could it be that the Liang army was besieging the city ten miles away? ”

"I've thought about it too. If the Liang army besieged the city, Ye Xin's troops could not only attack the west gate, but at least attack two gates at the same time, so as to disperse the rebels' forces at the four gates. However, Gongsun Yue did not break through the palace, so he could not send more troops to defend the four gates. ”

"Then Uncle Guang means to go and attack Simon?" Gao Xun guessed.

"Well, but I'm worried that Gongsun Yue will suddenly transfer the rebels besieging the Legation Mansion to the East Gate, and his intention is to transfer the rebels from the East Gate and set up an ambush on the way to ambush our army."

"yes, that's a possibility. But if you don't go, King Xian is in danger. ”

"That's why I'm in a dilemma, I just want to ask Senior Brother if Zhao Shuai had any other instructions before."

"Other commands? Not really. ”

Gao Xun denied that Zhao Xun had other orders, and so far Bai Liyan had no skills, and this time he could only bite the bullet.

Bailiyan pondered for a moment, but finally failed to come up with a countermeasure, and then summoned Yanping, Jiang Jie, and Wu Deng.

"Jiang Jie, you and the young man continue to stay in the Legation's Palace, and organize the lightly injured soldiers as much as possible, and don't slack off."

"No, my subordinates obey."

"Wu Deng!"

"The subordinates are here."

"All of your troops are surrendered, and of course, if there is no rebellion, you can also be a Xian army. More than 300 rebels have been recruited under your command, and now there are more than 400 people in total, you have to watch these more than 400 people carefully, and now it is a matter of life and death in Xianguo, you must not have the heart of rebellion again, you can know it. ”

"Please rest assured, the general, his subordinates will never betray the Xianguo again."

"Okay, you will pull your men to the atrium to obey the dispatch of An Taihou, continue to stay in the Legation's Palace, and strengthen the guard."

"Subordinates obey."

The strength of the Legation is not counting the new annexed army under Wu Deng, there are still 2,200 or 300 people, counting Wu Deng's men, in fact, there should be 3,000 people, not counting the lightly wounded who can continue to fight. Not to include it in the battle sequence is because it is afraid that it will not be able to control its subordinates and cause a rebellion again. After all, these county soldiers have already rebelled once, and now the situation is unclear, the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is difficult to say that they will not rebel again.

In addition to the wounded, there are four or five hundred people available under Yanping's command, and they are all taken away this time. In addition, Dian Kun led 400 Liang troops to stay in the legation's palace, the Jin army left 300 people, and the remaining 2,000 people immediately set off for the west of the city.

Before leaving, Ji Tong brought more than 200 additional war horses, which made Bailiyan have a plan.

Last night, more than 200 war horses were taken from the Prince's Mansion, and there were more than 100 in the Liang State Minister's Mansion, and in addition to the dozens of dead, Ji Tong kept dozens for himself, and the others were here. More than 200 war horses are not too much, and no less is not less. At least no cavalry formation has been found among the rebels.

Originally, the forbidden army of the garrison palace had 5,000 elite cavalry, but because the Yongxing River was very tight during the war, these war horses that should have belonged to the palace guards were all allocated to Zhao Xun in the end, which led to almost no cavalry in the city.

Of course, cavalry does not play much role in the streets of the city, especially the cavalry of the whole system, buildings will only hinder the movement of cavalry, and the infantry can use the cover of houses and obstacles to restrict, contain and eliminate cavalry.

But Baili Yan pondered, Gongsun Yue definitely did not take the cavalry into account, and categorically would not set up an ambush on the cavalry in the middle of the road, if he could lead more than 200 cavalry to break through the encirclement first, and then when the infantry arrived, when the rebels launched the encirclement, they would launch a surprise attack from the side or behind, open a gap, and receive the withdrawal of their own infantry.

In this way, even if the rebels cannot set up an ambush to repel the troops, they can also let their infantry jump out of the ambush circle to preserve their strength, as for whether to attack the west gate to the west, or kill a horse pistol, which gives themselves a lot of room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan didn't say anything, and first pulled the people out of the Minister's Mansion, and went to the junction in the west of the city under the guidance of Uncle Guang's people.

Along the way, the houses burned down, the collapsed collapsed, there were corpses everywhere, homeless people everywhere, whether they were rich or poor, all of them are victims of equality at this moment.

There are also bandits and civilian soldiers who have taken advantage of the fire to rob, and even the rebels who have been defeated have committed rape and plunder. After days and nights of fierce fighting, the city has changed beyond recognition, and under the scourge of war, the original order is gone, and there is only power and iron fist.

Shortly after leaving the east of the city, he ran into a robber who was looting, and Bai Liyan ordered to shoot several robbers with arrows.

"General Yanping, pass on the general's order, along the way, all adultery, kidnapping, and plundering are all evil, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"

"General Wei, it's all this time, can we still take care of these?"

Yanping is difficult to choose, whether he is in a hurry to go, or to clean up the law, at least the life and death of King Xian and the crown prince are uncertain now, where is there time to care about the life and death of the people in the market.

Bai Liyan said disappreciatively:

"Do what you are told, and there must be no mistakes."

"No!"

At this time, Uncle Guang said:

"General Wei, it is not appropriate to delay at this moment, our army should hurry up and join forces with Mr."

"What Your Excellency said is extremely true, the general in front plans to lead the cavalry to meet Uncle Guang first, what do you think?"

"This ...... It's not right. If more than 200 people were ambushed on the way, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"It is precisely because the rebels have an ambush that the general has to take the lead and lure them out."

Let Yanping encircle and suppress the robbers and rebels all the way, with the intention of creating the illusion that they are entangled and slow, to find a reasonable excuse for the cavalry to break away from the brigade, and to dispel the concerns of setting up an ambush for the rebels. At the same time, the sluggish infantry can further drag the rebels in front of them and buy enough time for the cavalry to make a detour.

"General Yanping, you lead the people to follow Your Excellency to the west, and continue to suppress bandits along the way. Remember, pay more attention to the forks in the road along the way, the rebels will inevitably have ambushes along the way, be careful of bows and crossbows, and when walking, the two horses will be scattered under the eaves on both sides, and the column will march, and the pace of the march must not be accelerated to catch up with the general, you know it. ”

"The last will obey."

From the east of the city to the south of the city to the west of the city, the shortcut is the big crossroads in the center of the city, where the street happens to divide the city of Chenling into a huge field character, and the royal road of King Xian runs through it from north to south, and the street is extremely wide.

The rebels were bound to set up a heavy ambush here, shoot them with crossbowmen, and engage them with hand-to-hand combat. If you walk on the road with a big grin, it is very easy to become a group of live targets, which is also the purpose of Bailiyan to let Yanping fall people and suppress bandits along the way.

Only by scattering a part of the men and horses in groups for the purpose of suppressing bandits, can they broaden their horizons as much as possible, and at the same time suppressing bandits, they are bound to enter under the eaves of the house and mix their own men and horses into the bunkers such as private houses to the greatest extent, so as to avoid being caught off guard during the rapid march of the groups.

Moreover, scattering people and horses is more conducive to street fighting than field battles, and can also broaden the horizon and play a role in early warning.

Bailiyan led more than 200 Liang forbidden troops to ride horses and leave the brigade. Ji Tong is shrewd and unusual on weekdays, and he doesn't forget the details when he is in battle.

Even though the war horses brought from the prince's mansion were all from the Xian Kingdom, Ji Tong gave priority to equipping the Liang army, and it was obvious that the combat effectiveness and survival rate of the cavalry were much higher than the infantry in most cases, which shows that even when it was life and death, it did not forget to preserve the selfishness of its strength.

Therefore, there is no need to be polite, if these two hundred people are not used to death, they really owe An Taihou a piece of kindness.

Out of the east of the city all the way into the south of the city, the situation is obviously abnormal, although the south of the city is equivalent to the second ring, the third ring of the zone, but is still a more densely populated area, all the way through but do not see the people displaced, thieves and soldiers are rampant, this is obviously a large force of ambush soldiers gathered here signs. If it weren't for the whole formation of troops to deter here, it would obviously not be possible to be so quiet.

And the coincidental scene was bumped into when Bai Liyan was about to speed up his pace and pass through the street, and when he looked around, thousands of rebels were huddled in the alleys, staring at each other with murderous energy.

The two sides looked at each other in shock for a moment, which suddenly surprised the rebels, and they were stunned to see Bailiyan leading the army all the way through the ambush area, but they didn't have time to make any reaction, to be precise, the rebels in shock lost their ability to respond to stress at this moment.

The rebels did not expect that Baili Yan would lead the cavalry through the ambush site first, even though the rebel sentries were watching ahead, but how could two legs run more than four legs.

Just as the sentry returned to report the news, Bai Liyan and more than 200 others were speeding through the ambush area, leaving no room for the rebels to react.

"Report to the general, the enemy has a cavalry ahead."

The sentry said quickly, and the rebel general's face turned dark:

"Fucking blind your dog's eyes, more than 200 people just passed by the street, you only report it now, it's too late!"

"Subordinates should be damned, subordinates should be damned."

"Tell me quickly, how many men have been dispatched to the Minister's Palace."

"There are less than 2,000 people, the others are infantry troops, and only more than 200 people have passed first."

"Then why hasn't it arrived yet?" The rebel general asked sharply, afraid that there would be a moth.

"They chased and killed the bandits all the way, and our routs were entangled in the road and couldn't go fast."

The sentry said quickly, but the rebel general was thinking at this time that his whereabouts had been exposed, and the cavalry of the Legation must have made a detour to ventilate the news, and would definitely not risk being robbed and killed.

Thinking of this, the rebel generals quickly adjusted their deployment, and they had to seize the net in advance before the cavalry of the Legation reported the news, and the infantry army of the Minister's Mansion surrounded them in advance.

This logic is no problem according to common sense, because there are nearly 5,000 rebels in ambush, can they still be afraid of 2,000 tired soldiers? Apparently not.

The rebels moved out of the street and quickly moved east and west through the alleys, followed by crossbowmen who were in ambush on the rooftops of the streets.
