Under the cover of bows and arrows, hundreds of soldiers approached the top of the earthen platform along the earth steps. Dong Yuanshu below raised his head and loudly scolded the soldiers who were slow and slow, urging them to attack quickly. When several soldiers climbed to the edge of the platform, Zeng Guozhong jumped out, slashed a soldier in the shoulder with a knife in his hand, and kicked him in the chest.

"Fuck you."

The soldier screamed and rolled down the dirt steps, and by the way, he brought down seven or eight soldiers. At the same time, Qian Gaozhi and several soldiers from the left also appeared, holding their blades and fighting with the enemy troops attacking on the earth steps.

"Come on, give it to Lao Tzu. Few of them are alive, what are you afraid of? If you grind again, Lao Tzu will cut you. Dong Yuanshu jumped to his feet and scolded below.

At this moment, a scout stumbled apart and rushed in, came to Dong Yuanshu and shouted in a panic: "General, the general is finished." ”

"What nonsense? When is Lao Tzu finished? Dong Yuanshu scolded angrily and gave the scout a big mouth with his backhand.

The scout was beaten with gold stars in his eyes, and he hurriedly covered his face and shouted: "The villain is wrong, it's not that the general is finished, it's that we are finished, and the big thing is not good." ”

"If there's a fart, it's not good." Dong Yuanshu's mind was still on Zeng Guozhong and the others on the earthen platform.

"The enemy cavalry has left the city and is coming towards my camp. There are a lot of cavalry, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands. Just outside the camp. The scout replied quickly.

"What?"

Dong Yuanshu was so frightened that his body trembled, and after a moment of consternation, he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Quick, quickly order the archers to go to the front camp fortifications to defend, and the pikemen to go to the front of the camp to form a formation." Quick, what the hell are you doing? Why don't you go soon? Waiting for people to rush in? ”

"Oooooooooo The generals were in a hurry, and the soldiers were in a panic. For a while, the surrounding passwords were frequently shouted and cursed, and the soldiers were running around, panicked and noisy.

"Come with me to the front camp and have a look." Dong Yuanshu climbed the mount and was about to get on the horse.

"General, what should I do here?" A general asked.

"What to do? He didn't rush up and slaughter them. I'll be in charge of you here, you can't take their heads, I'll cut off your head. Dong Yuanshu scolded.

The general nodded his head again and again, urging the soldiers around him to attack upward. Dong Yuanshu turned over and was about to leave with his guards. Suddenly, there was a commotion and noise in the camp to the south, and the shouts of swords clashing and killing were loud. Dong Yuanshu was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" The enemy army came in so quickly? ”

A general's helmet was crooked from between the tents to the south, followed by a dozen soldiers who were also galloping. However, they ran dozens of paces away, and from the darkness behind them shot a rain of arrows, killing them all to the ground. At the same time, a large group of soldiers emerged from the darkness.

Dong Yuanshu recognized the leaders at a glance, all of whom were captains and lieutenants under his account. Dong Yuanshu straightened his neck and scolded: "Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, Ma Huateng, what are you going to do?" What are you doing in the camp with your soldiers and horses? He did not go outside the camp to prepare for the enemy. ”

"Welcome your mother's legs, Lao Tzu is a subordinate of General Zeng General Qian, Lao Tzu is reversed!" A tall lieutenant shouted and cursed, pointed in the direction where Dong Yuanshu was, and shouted: "The one surnamed Dong is over there, kill him." ”

The words fell, and the black team of countless people rushed loudly and violently.

Dong Yuanshu was shocked, and while ordering the personal guards to go to intercept him, he hurriedly fled to the horse. Only then did he realize that these lieutenants and lieutenants were all soldiers and horses under Zeng Guozhong, Qian Gaozhi and others. Zeng Guozhong and Qian Gaozhi defected, how could their soldiers and horses not defect?

Dong Yuanshu felt his scalp tingle, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Zeng Guozhong and Qian Gaozhi, if there was internal chaos, plus the cavalry of the Shence Army who was about to storm the camp, it would not be a joke. While Dong Yuanshu withdrew in front of the front camp, he ordered the two battalions of soldiers and horses to immediately encircle and suppress the thousands of defected soldiers and horses. At the same time, he immediately sent people to report the enemy situation to Li Guangbi and ask for support. Even with more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he felt that he could not cope with the chaos in front of him.

……

Outside the front camp, Liu Jun led 10,000 cavalry to rush through a large open area and came to the front of the enemy's front camp. When they approached the mile, the archers and pikemen in the front camp were entering the fortifications of the front camp and preparing to meet the enemy. Within a few hundred paces of the front camp, there were many horses and pits, and it was an impassable place. Therefore, the defenders of the front battalion did not panic, because they knew that if the other side wanted to rush into the camp, they would have to suffer heavy casualties in the area in front of the camp, and the momentum of the charge would also be blocked.

A cavalryman without charge speed is actually not so terrible.

However, the opposing cavalry did not charge directly, as if they had eyes, the whole cavalry rushed diagonally south to the left flank of the forward camp, perfectly avoiding the dense pits and rejection of horses in front of the camp.

Dong Yuanshu, who rushed to the front of the camp, witnessed the situation ahead, and he immediately rode straight to the left wing of the southwest corner. Since the opponent is coming towards the flank, of course he has to go to the flank to see if the defenders are in place and whether the defensive force is enough. In fact, he was not too surprised by the enemy's way of bypassing the front camp. After all, in the past two days, he has dug a pit in front of the camp in front of others to resist the horse formation, and the other party is not blind, so he naturally refuses to attack from the front.

But in fact, not only were the pits dug in front of the camp to prevent horses, but the left and right flanks were also full of pitfalls and horses as in front of them. The other party may not know and think that the flank can easily break through, but that is a big mistake. Because of this, Dong Yuanshu was not panicked in his heart. The left and right flanks of the front camp and the front are actually not easy for the other side to break through.

Dong Yuanshu led hundreds of personal soldiers to gallop to the southeast of the camp, but the situation in front of him made his heart tight. Two battalions of soldiers and horses were arranged in the southeast corner of the front camp to defend. The strength of the two battalions should be more than 14,000 men, defending the southeast corner less than a mile. It stands to reason that there should be a sea of people crowded behind the fortifications. However, after he rode his horse back and forth, he found only a few four or five thousand panicked soldiers.

An adjutant general came with seven or eight lieutenants to inquire and stood tremblingly in front of Dong Yuanshu's horse's head.

"Why are you so human? What about the rest of the manpower? Why is it not in place? Dong Yuanshu asked loudly at the name.

"General, I don't know if I am lowly, all the soldiers and horses have gathered here according to the military order, and the others don't know where to go." The lieutenant hurriedly replied.

"How is that possible? There should be two battalions of soldiers and horses to defend here, how can there be so few men? Whose defense zone is this? Which two bastards led the way? I'm here, why don't they show up? Don't call them back yet. Dong Yuanshu shouted.

"Back to the general, we are also looking for General Zeng and General Qian, who are leading the army. We were all called up after the fire in the camp just now, and the two generals were not seen by that time. If someone hadn't given the order, we wouldn't have known that the enemy was attacking the camp. After searching all over the camp, I couldn't find two generals, and six or seven thousand brothers were missing, what a hell. The lieutenant rolled his eyes.

"General Zeng and General Qian? Are you saying that Zeng Guozhong and Qian Gaozhi are in charge of the defense of this section? Dong Yuanshu's scalp began to tingle.

"yes, I came here yesterday." The lieutenant said.

A cold sweat flowed down Dong Yuanshu's face, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The cavalry of the other side came straight to the left flank, I am afraid that it was to rush into the camp from the defense area of Zeng Guozhong and Qian Gaozhi, which should have been designed in advance. Most of the soldiers and horses under Zeng Guozhong and Qian Gaozhi have defected, so only these four or five thousand people are here, and the other six or seven thousand are making trouble in the camp. These four or five thousand people didn't think they were Zeng Guozhong and Qian Gaozhi's henchmen, so in order to prevent the news from being revealed, they kept these people in the dark.

"What's your name?"

"Humble Tian Wenxian."

"Okay, Tian Wenxian, from now on, the two battalions of soldiers here will be under your command. Prepare your men to meet the enemy, the enemy cavalry is coming here, and you must hold me back. General Ben will immediately mobilize men to reinforce you. Dong Yuanshu shouted.

The lieutenant general was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you general, you will not retreat from your humble position, please rest assured." ”

Dong Yuanshu nodded and said: "Okay, you have withstood the attack of the enemy soldiers, and I will report to Li Shuai to officially promote you when I turn around." There are other brothers who are also rewarded and promoted. ”

"Thank you, General." The lieutenants were also overjoyed.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the darkness could be heard in the distance, and soon a large number of cavalry appeared like ghosts in the dark night. The neighing of the horses was clearly audible.

"Here we are." Dong Yuanshu shouted: "Quickly prepare to meet the enemy, don't be afraid, the horse trap and horse rejection array in front of our camp are enough for them to drink a pot." I am afraid that more than half of the casualties will be killed in front of the camp, so you can only shoot with your bow and arrows, and assassinate you with spears at close range. ”

"The general can rest assured, and he understands his humble duties."

Na Tian Wenxian was full of strength, shouted loudly and gave an order, and all the defending soldiers immediately wound their arrows, their swords unsheathed, and prepared to meet the enemy. Dong Yuanshu sighed and wiped the cold sweat on his face. He knew that he had to quickly mobilize troops and horses to replenish it, and the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry on the other side, even if there were rejections of horses and pits, more than half of them would rush to the front of the camp, and the four or five thousand defenders in front of him were afraid that they would not last long.

"Pass my order and order General Song to lead his troops to reinforce immediately. The two battalions on the left and right were ordered to move closer to this area, and once the enemy rushed in, they were surrounded from the flanks. Hurry, hurry. Dong Yuanshu gave an order in a loud voice.

Ahead, the enemy cavalry had already charged. The black-pressed cavalry approached like a black whirlwind on the ground. Although it was the middle of the night, only the silhouettes of the opponent's soldiers and horses could be seen. But judging from the vibration of the ground and the rumbling of horses' hooves, the opponent had launched a rapid charge, and the distance was only a few hundred paces.

Dong Yuanshu's eyes widened nervously, looking at the bright ground more than a hundred steps away from the campfire and torches in the camp. He listened intently, estimating the distance. He believed that the sound of the other side would soon be heard on their backs, because the other party should have rushed into a large area of horses and pits.

However, after seven or eight breaths, apart from the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of slaughter that were getting closer and closer, there was no chaotic sound of cavalry falling into a trap or falling to the ground after being denied. There was not the slightest confusion.

Dong Yuanshu frowned, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart. He didn't understand what was going on. Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up in his brain, illuminating his chaotic thoughts, and he suddenly realized that he might have made a big mistake.

Since the other party is in collusion with Qian Gaozhi and Zeng Guozhong, and chooses to attack from the defensive area of these two, how can it be possible to allow a horse rejection formation and a horse trap in front of the formation? It is very likely that the front of the battle here is flat and unimpeded, and it has long been manipulated by Qian Gaozhi and Zeng Guozhong. It is likely that there was no horse rejection and horse trapping in front of the battle, but an unimpeded open field.

Thinking of this, Dong Yuanshu was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his body began to tremble. It's terrible, it's terrible, if that's the case, then these four or five thousand defenders can't stop the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry at all, I'm afraid it will be broken overnight.

Dong Yuanshu stared at the chaos in front of the formation with the last trace of fantasy. Then, in the light of the campfire, he saw the menacing array of enemy cavalry rushing from the darkness to the light like thunder. Their black armor shimmered with cold light, and the blades in their hands flashed blindly, like a group of wild beasts with teeth and claws.

"Whoosh!"

Countless crossbow bolts rained in, and most of the defending soldiers fell. Before the defenders had fired a round of arrows, the cavalry began to fire arrows on their horses. Tian Wenxian loudly ordered the arrows to be released, and thousands of archers hurriedly shot a round of arrows, and the cavalry on the opposite side also fell in a group, but the distance was already sixty or seventy paces away.

"Whoosh!"

It was another round of suppression of crossbow arrows and arrows, and the defenders in the fortifications had to fall down to dodge, a rain of arrows fell in the rear, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers in front of Dong Yuanshu's horse fell screaming. It was only at this time that the stunned Dong Yuanshu realized that he was in danger, and he ordered in a scream: "Hurry up!" He immediately turned his horse's head and fled towards the front of the heavy army.

Running dozens of steps away, the screams and sounds of fighting from behind made Dong Yuanshu couldn't help but glance back. This glance made Dong Yuanshu's liver split. The half-man-high fortifications in front of the camp had already been broken, and countless iron hooves poured into the camp like a black torrent, and the momentum was unstoppable. Dong Yuanshu didn't dare to take another look, and galloped away.

……

Liu Jun's 10,000-strong cavalry rushed into the flank of the front camp like a raging tsunami. The less than 5,000 defenders could not stop the cavalry at all, and under the sword and the hooves of the horses, their defense line instantly collapsed and turned into powder. Ten thousand horsemen rushed in, galloping vertically and horizontally like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and rushed into the deep area on the southwest side of the front camp. Everywhere they went, their heads were rolling, flesh and blood were flying, and the soldiers in the camp were crying wolves and running in all directions.

The cavalry rushed into the front camp in a very short time, and the surrounding enemy forces were invincible, and they avoided it without much resistance. In this situation, it was somewhat surprising to find a large group of soldiers rushing towards the horses of the cavalry brigade in front of them.

Liu Jun raised his gun and shouted: "Kill them all." ”

The cavalry shouted and rode their horses forward, wanting to deal a devastating blow to the enemy in front, when they suddenly heard someone in the opposite group of soldiers and horses shouting: "I am Zeng Guozhong, dare to ask if the soldiers and horses sent by Wang Dashuai to meet us in front of me?" ”

Liu Jun was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his gun and shouted, "Is it General Zeng?" I'm Liu Jun. The marshal ordered me to lead my troops to meet the three generals. Are the three generals okay? ”

Zeng Guozhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed: "It turned out to be General Liu." We're fine, we're all okay. Great, but I'm looking forward to you. ”

In the middle of a few words, Zeng Guozhong and others came to the front, followed by nearly 4,000 rebel soldiers, each with red belts wrapped around their arms, to show the difference from the enemy. Not long ago, the defective soldiers and horses rushed to the bottom of the earthen platform, relieved the siege of Zeng Guozhong and others, and rescued the three people. When he was fighting with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he suddenly collapsed and fled in the opponent's formation. Zeng Guozhong somehow ordered someone to go to the Tutai to take a look, and found that a large force of cavalry was rushing in from the southwest of the camp, only to know that the rescue had arrived. Only then did he lead the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses to break through to the southwest, and sure enough, he met the division victoriously.

Everyone simply took a look at each other, and there was no time to talk more. After a brief salute, Liu Jun said in a deep voice: "You can't stay here for a long time, the three generals and the brothers will evacuate first, the southwest passage has been opened, and we are responsible for protecting you in the two strategies to rush out." ”

Qian Gaozhi said: "What? Shall we not take the opportunity to break through the camp? ”

Liu Jun said: "The handsome man has an order, only saves people, and does not love war." ”

Zeng Guozhong said with a smile: "Brother Qian, you really have a big appetite, and today you have already made a lot of trouble, what else do you want?" You must know that no matter how incompetent they are, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and if they don't leave, they will die here. You see, the soldiers and horses on both sides are pressing up. ”

Qian Gaozhi smiled: "I'm just asking." ”

Liu Jun hugged his fists and said: "The three generals will leave quickly with people, and after leaving the camp, General Song's archers will answer you and evacuate quickly." ”

"Okay, thank you General Liu, brothers, let's go." Zeng Guozhong shouted at the soldiers in the rear.

"Herald! The soldiers were divided into two teams, killed the enemy army, and covered the three generals and their brothers to break through. Liu Jun ordered loudly.

"Yes!" More than a dozen cavalry generals shouted in unison. With the wave of the commanding flag, the cavalry team of 10,000 people instantly split into two and rushed towards the black-pressed enemy formations that were swarming on the east and west sides. In just a few moments, it was a hand-to-hand situation. But in the shimmering firelight, Mo Dao
