Gan Ning did not have such a great appeal to take away nearly 10,000 defenders in the city, and only more than 3,000 people were willing to leave the south of the city with him, and went out of the city through the waterway dark river and the south of the city. The speed was very fast, and when Gan Ning led the horse that bound Su Fei out of the city, the sergeant who was willing to go south with him had already set up a battle formation outside the city to defend against the cavalry, showing extremely high sergeant combat power, which made Gan Ning stunned.

But soon he was no longer surprised...... Just south of the city, beyond the formation of a line of crossbows across the moat and his own crossbows, the fields were full of Liangzhou soldiers who formed a loose attack formation.

Zhang Xiu rode his horse and stood on the low slope, looked down at Cai Yang not far away, and across the heavy military array and the moat, he saw the rare Jingzhou general with a feather on the head of the horse at the city gate, and said secretly: That is Gan Ning who broke through my camp, right?

With a wide field of vision, it is not difficult to see who is the general of an army. Before he appeared, the Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly formed a formation but panicked, but after appearing, they quickly stabilized the army's heart, if that person is not a very prestigious general, Zhang Xiu does not believe it.

"Wave the flag and inform the armies that the enemy will not move, and we will drag it and not attack. If the enemy goes south, they will take turns to attack and gouge through them! ”

The Jingzhou soldiers formed a formation with their backs to the moat and the drawbridge, which was deliberately done by Zhang Xiu, but he did not want to attack such a turtle shell formation. If you don't leave a way for the enemy to live, there will be no escapees and it will not be easy to rout, and if you don't rout, you will use cavalry to fight crossbows.

The cavalry kills the rout.

The so-called ancient army suffered battle losses, in fact, it is not absolute, if there is no way to retreat, naturally everyone fights to the death, there is not enough siege means and deliberately besiege the city without leaving a way to live, it is not uncommon for the general to lead troops to defend the city in the city. In the field, most of the battle losses are deliberately done by the enemy generals, which is what Sun Tzu said.

Zhang Xiu wants to use the 'potential' to suppress the Jingzhou soldiers, and use the general momentum and the troops. The so-called general trend is that the Liao army has captured most of the city, although the defenders in the city are stubborn but there is no way to escape, and finally there is only one way to surrender or die in the city...... Worse than a last stand; The so-called troop posture is a defensive position set up by cavalry but not attacking them, and between breaths, the pressure of imminent defeat increases with each passing day.

Zhang Xiu knows, and Gan Ning also knows.

He was in a dilemma, even if he considered that there must be Liangzhou cavalry outside the city before leaving the city, but he didn't expect that the Jingzhou soldiers and horses would be frightened by the enemy on the drawbridge and dare not move, and now they can't enter, as long as the advance is chaotic, it will attract endless pursuit of the Liangzhou cavalry; And not moving, it is even worse, it is the way to sit and wait for death.

Go back? If you retreat to the city, don't think about continuing to fight, and if you bow your head at this time, the morale of the sergeant, which is already low, will be three points shorter.

"Xingba, retreat, retreat to the city. The sergeant did not dare to move forward, and he would be defeated if he moved forward. ”

Although Su Fei on the horse was bound, he could also see the situation on the battlefield clearly, if the Liangzhou soldiers attacked each other at this time, there would still be some possibility of victory, but the Liangzhou soldiers did not move...... Apparently prepared.

Su Fei said that he would be defeated when he moved forward, not that they couldn't defeat the Liangzhou cavalry in the battle formation with their crossbows. Everyone in the world says that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is the best in the world, because in the past wars, the Liangzhou cavalry was often the most brilliant army on the battlefield, but the simple Liangzhou cavalry was not terrible. The reason why the cavalry is famous is not that they single-handedly defeated the enemy in which battle, but that after the fierce and fierce Liangzhou infantry defeated the enemy, the cavalry pursued the most routed soldiers with a fast horse bow.

The Han family has been attacking the northern captives with crossbows for hundreds of years, and there is already a set of effective battle formations against cavalry, what Su Fei is really worried about is not that it will be difficult for them to defeat the Liangzhou cavalry when they move forward, but that after they move forward, the Liangzhou soldiers will attack and disturb but not attack, and once the subordinates have a rout, the enemy army will not pursue...... The battle was lost.

"General Su, at this time, if you lead the Liangzhou soldiers to attack with a chaotic formation, so as to win a small victory, is it feasible?" Gan Ning didn't wait for Su Fei to reply, and took care of himself and said, "Let's give it a try!" ”

Su Fei's words of refusal came to his lips, and now he deliberately changed his formation, just afraid that he would really disperse if he was a real soldier. But looking at Gan Ning's back, he couldn't say, at least this leader of the water thieves who had participated in the Yizhou rebellion and was intercepted by Huang Zuqiang was really trying to live with his soldiers. What better way to do it now? If not, why not give it a try?

It's just that it's too hard. These troops brought out by Gan Ning have no heart to fight to the death with the Yan army, and the real good sons and daughters of Jingzhou are now sacrificing themselves to kill the enemy in Caiyang City, where are these escaped miscreants comparable? Even if they are not in their minds, the 3,000 people who follow Gan Ning, including the four captains, do not have any captains, and they don't know the soldiers and the generals, so how can they be mobilized?

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Liangzhou soldiers have cut off the way of our army, if they stay here, it will be tantamount to sitting and waiting to be killed, and if our army's formation is not chaotic, the enemy will not dare to attack and disturb it. Once the princes have little intention of being defeated, most of the enemy will attack, and when Cheng is in danger, we have nowhere to escape. Gan Ning said frustrated words, but his movements were extremely excited, and he raised his hand and pointed to himself and said: "Gan used to be called Jinfan, making waves on the river, and if he didn't advance, he would retreat, and the boat would be destroyed and killed if he was a little worse." Now in the north, there are tens of thousands of troops of the Yan clan, and there is nowhere to escape; The east and west sides are the main attack of the Liao army, escaping the siege, as well as the Zhao soldiers of Yuzhou, the besieged army of Deng County, the strong wall is clear, the people have already fled to the north and south, there is no food for dozens of miles and hundreds of miles, even if they escape, they will starve to death, but to the south, there are only these Liangzhou soldiers! ”

"The world is full of Liangzhou soldiers, Gan led three hundred horsemen to overturn the camp and kick the gate of the village on the eve of yesterday...... But it's a general. Gan Ning smiled as he spoke, raised his arms and shouted: "The water is only ten miles away, there are eight hundred brocade sails on the river, dozens of boats can be used for the army to cross south, and when the time comes, the enemy will be blocked on the south bank, and all the kings will have a way to live, how about it?" ”

The soldiers listened to Gan Ning's words, and they all turned their heads to each other, and the intention of survival once again appeared on their defeated faces, and only then did they recover their morale slightly. In any case, if the water is met by a pirate ship, it may not be difficult to fight a bloody way, at least it will be much easier to survive. No one expected the whole army to survive, they just wanted a way to survive.

Taking this opportunity, Gan Ning sent an order to the military marquis, informing him of the idea of waiting for the enemy's surprise attack before quickly forming a formation, and then these military marquis and tun generals would go back to inform the left and right.

Not to mention those soldiers, even Su Fei was pleasantly surprised, and asked Gan Ning, "Did you really convene the old department in Shuishui?" ”

Gan Ning smiled, looked at the Liangzhou cavalry who looked like wolves were loose hundreds of paces away, shook his head slowly, and said, "There is no boat, but I know water." ”
