γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Ling Hu dressed in a rough manner and said, "I'm going to go out to avenge Your Highness, but if I don't succeed, I will never come back to see Your Highness." β
Gao Shun sneered: "You don't have the face to come back." β
Pang Ying, who had been silent, looked at Gao Shun and Ling Hu and said coldly: "Don't quarrel, Your Highness has just passed away, and you are arguing here, which is a great disrespect to Your Highness." After speaking, he walked to Dugu Feng's corpse, lifted the quilt and gently covered Dugu Feng's pale face, and finally looked around at everyone and said, "When we come back, I will use Yuan Fang's head to pay tribute to the soul of His Royal Highness King Qin." After speaking, he turned around and left, Ling Hu and Gao Shun glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
Ling Hu and the three of them left, the other people in the room looked at each other, and after a while, the city lord spoke: "The three of them are going out of the city to avenge His Highness, and the city defense army will strengthen its vigilance, so as not to take advantage of the enemy's weakness, okay, everyone will disperse." β
Leaving two servants to take care of Dugu Feng's body, the city lord and his party left in a hurry, each going to do their own things, Dugu Feng died, this is great bad news, once the news is transmitted back to the imperial capital, the emperor will be thunderous and angry, and these officials and generals will inevitably be affected by anger, and it is difficult to say whether their lives can be saved at that time, everyone knows this very well, all of them should rush back as soon as possible to arrange preparations, as for what to prepare, there is no need to say.
Pang Ying was not carried away by hatred, the three of them discussed, and they all went back to the various stations to start preparing, and about an hour, the three of them got together again and climbed the city wall.
The defenders on the west city wall were very embarrassed, everyone held a shield to protect their bodies, hiding behind the battlements and not daring to raise their heads, Pang Ying had just walked on the city wall, and with a whoosh, a feather arrow crossed his face dangerously, which scared Pang Ying into a cold sweat.
Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly came over with shields and protected Pang Ying and the three of them in the middle.
Ling Hu looked at the city with a tall horse and a big probe, and saw that there were a few scattered archers not far from the city, showing off their martial arts and grinning bows and arrows, Ling Hu was suddenly angry, and scolded the soldiers guarding the city and said: "Everyone has hit under the city wall, why don't you fight back?" β
The defender soldier was aggrieved and said: "General, it's not that we don't fight back, it's that our bows and arrows don't have a long range like theirs, and our archers can't shoot them at all." β
Gao Shun was furious and had nowhere to go, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "Fart, even if the bow can't be shot, can't the ballista?" β
The defenders said depressedly: "General, they only sent a dozen people to harass them, all of them were cunning and deadly, and they ran away as soon as they saw our ballista. β
Pang Ying stopped Ling Hu and Gao Shun, frowned and said: "The range of their bows and arrows is indeed much farther than ours, I have seen it last time, I can't blame them, okay, since they didn't leave, let's go out too, this time we can't let them run anymore." Ling Hu took a deep breath, snorted coldly, turned around and got off the city wall, turned over and rode straight to the north city gate. Gao Shun glanced at Ling Hu angrily, nodded to Pang Ying, and went down the city wall.
Pang Ying looked at the distant backs of the two of them, and sighed slightly, Gao Shun and Ling Hu disagreed, the two of them could still restrain themselves when Dugufeng was there, but now that Dugufeng is dead, the contradiction between the two people immediately intensified, and he really didn't know if he could suppress it.
Pang Ying got off the city wall and headed straight for Nanchengmen with his personal guards, his light cavalry troops had been waiting for a long time.
Yuan Fang sat on the horse, took a bite of the dried meat, poured a large mouthful of cold water, watched a few archers under the city wall continue to provoke, and looked at the closed city gate in doubt, according to Yuan Fang's understanding of that Ling Hu, this thing should not be the master who can forbear, and should be killed immediately after getting the news, but what happened today? It's been an hour of tossing, why hasn't the other party reacted at all? Just when Yuan Fang was puzzled, the city gate slowly opened, Yuan Fang's heart sank, and he hurriedly recalled those archers, and ordered the whole army to be on alert, ready to run away at any time.
The city gate slowly opened, the defenders on the city wall held shields, the archers who were hiding on the city wall just now and did not dare to show their heads appeared one after another, and more than a dozen hideous crossbows also appeared in the field of vision at the same time, Yuan Fang frowned, this is completely different from the opening of the previous two days, something is wrong, something is wrong.
At this time, there was a neat and heavy footstep sound from inside the city gate, and the metal combat boots trampled on the ground, as if the earth was trembling, and then, a row of soldiers wearing metal plate armor and holding metal heavy shields appeared in everyone's sight, followed by the second row, the third row, Yuan Fang and Yuqing glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts.
That's right, what came out of the city gate was heavy infantry, which also made Yuan Fang and Yuqing puzzled, although the Taiji Legion was not a regular cavalry unit, but each of them had a war horse to walk, and the speed was almost no different from the cavalry, but what about the other party, they actually sent heavy infantry out, what did they want to do? Do you think you're stupid enough to fight them head-on? Assault the heavy infantry phalanx with light cavalry? Yuan Fang scratched his head: "Yuqing, what are they going to do?" β
Yuqing was also puzzled, shook her head and said, "I don't know, a group of heavy infantry doesn't seem to pose any threat to us." β
At this time, Tanmalai reported that a large number of cavalry poured out of the city gate in the south and north of the city, and they were outflanking the two wings of the Taiji Army. Yuan Fang was taken aback, at this time, he could already see the smoke and dust and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves trampled by the war horses on the north and south sides.
Yuan Fang and Yuqing glanced at each other, and needless to say, immediately ordered the whole army to retreat. At this time, 10,000 heavy infantry had already finished marching out of the city, and the carriages full of supplies in the city gate behind them were constantly advancing, slowly advancing with the heavy infantry in front. Needless to say, the reaction of the Taiji Legion was that the tactical actions of turning around and retreating in the past few days had been practiced perfectly, and they successfully broke out of the opponent's encirclement and drove away before the enemy troops on both flanks arrived.
During the gallop, Yuan Fang kept looking back, looking at the two groups of light cavalry in hot pursuit, and wondered, "Why didn't you see Ling Hu's heavy cavalry?" β
Yuqing pointed to the right behind her without looking back and said, "Ling Hu's handsome flag is over there." Yuan Fang looked back and saw Ling Hu's handsome banner, but those cavalry were all wearing light armor, and they were not close to the heavy cavalry at all.
Although it is strange, but there is no time to think so much at this time, the speed of the pursuers behind him is fast, and if you don't run for your life quickly, once you are bitten, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Outside Guangyuan County, the same scene was staged again, Yuan Fang and they fled with their lives in front, and the cavalry behind chased desperately, but this time Yuan Fang and they let go of their speed and did not hide their selfishness at all, and the chasing soldiers behind them went all out, and the speed soared to the extreme.
The speed of the two sides is almost the same, and there is a distance not far or close, Yuan Fang pouted and said, "Is it useful to chase like this?" "Mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
