Yang Feng looked at the increasingly bad battlefield situation in front of him, and his face turned purple.

There are only 70,000 troops in the western battlefield, and 50,000 have been invested now, but they still can't withstand the impact of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. It has only been more than an hour, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers have fallen under the iron hooves of their horses. According to the development of this situation, how long will the army be able to withstand without reinforcements?

Looking at Zhang Jiao next to him, Yang Feng asked anxiously: "Great sage and good teacher, why hasn't Yanzi come yet?" ”

Zhang Jiao's hand was shaking slightly, and he was also frightened by the battle situation. 50,000 people have been invested, but they still can't stop the charge of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry.

The only thing that comforted Zhang Jiao a little was that he could already see that as the depth of the defense lengthened, the attack speed of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry slowed down.

Now as long as Chu Yan leads the army to arrive, plus the original 70,000 people, it will drag Li Yi and his Youzhou army to death.

It's just that Zhang Jiao didn't know how to answer Yang Feng's question, he could only tell Yang Feng: "It's coming, it's definitely coming." Ziyu, don't be in a hurry, let the army stabilize the position, the offensive of the Youzhou army has slowed down. ”

………………

"Bang......" Captain Cao Shi Cui Jiefei slammed open the door.

Liu Ding raised his head calmly, looked at Cui Jie, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "Boying, what's the matter?" ”

Cui Jie said excitedly: "Envoy, Li Yi's Youzhou Iron Cavalry Army, Zhang Jiao and Yang Feng's troops are fighting a bloody battle outside the West City Gate. ”

Liu Ding smiled slightly, and then asked, "What other good news?" ”

Cui Jie nodded and said, "The Chu Yan army that attacked the North City Gate suddenly retreated, and ran away, not even cleaning up the battlefield. ”

Feng Yi nodded and said, "He's going to participate in the siege of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry of the General Xiaocai." Faster, of course. ”

"How's the South Gate going?" Liu Ding then asked.

"Envoy, the ant thief's Zhang Niujiao is still attacking wildly, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and Captain Ji has asked to bring the reserve army up several times, what should I do?" Cui Jie wiped the sweat from his head again and again and asked nervously.

"The defenders of the north gate left five hundred men down. All the rest rushed to the south gate to support. Liu Ding spread out a roll of bamboo slips and said indifferently.

Cui Jie blurted out that he wanted to express the worry in his heart, but then remembered that Liu Ding commanded Ruoding, and he had always been confident, so he hurriedly swallowed the words back. He bowed and turned to leave.

"Tell Ji Yong to bring all the reserve troops to me, and now the defense here is the weakest." Liu Ding said suddenly.

………………

Li Yi looked up at the Yellow Turban Army array in the distance, and then looked at the north of the very quiet battlefield, thinking. Chu Yan's army is coming.

After weighing it, Li Yi gave two orders in a row:

"Quickly inform Captain Yue, line up with war horses, and block the infantry. Just slow down the speed at which the enemy closes in, and don't get overly entangled. ”

"Order Captain Gongsun of the Chinese Army to quickly leave the battlefield and rush to the rear to stand by and support Yue Fei's department at any time. Beware of Chu Yan's encirclement. ”

"Yes, my lord." Four heralds work in pairs. Immediately turn the horse's head and fly away.

Li Yi pointed to a herald behind him and shouted, "Beat the drum, order Zhang Jaw to immediately lead his troops to turn, insert into the enemy's left flank, and block the enemy's encirclement line." ”

The drums of war immediately rose to the sky.

Li Yi looked at the iron cavalry of the guard battalion gathered around him. Raise your gun and roar: "Brothers, kill with me...... Kill ......"

Dian Wei and Tian Yu then shouted: "Kill ......"

The shouts of the five hundred guards battalion iron cavalry also rang out immediately: "Kill ......"

………………

Li Yi's purpose was very clear, with the fastest speed and the strongest lineup, he broke the joint resistance of Yang Feng's troops, forcing Zhang Jiao and Yang Feng to further use outflanking troops to participate in the defense.

Li Yi, Dian Wei, and Tian Yu led the iron cavalry of the personal guard battalion to frantically attack in depth along the enemy's position. They smashed through one dense queue after another of the enemy. It's like a giant picking up a big axe and knocking down one big tree after another, thundering and striking.

Yang Feng couldn't stand the bloody stimulation anymore, and personally led the guard battalion to kill it. If Chu Yan's reinforcements don't arrive at the battlefield, he will throw the last 20,000 people into the battlefield. Although this will cause great passivity in the original plan, at this critical juncture of life and death, there is not so much to care about.

If you can't block the impact of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, this western battlefield will completely collapse, and that is the real fatal thing.

………………

Zhang Chong smiled at Yu Poison and said, "Dry poison, can you pull your personal guard camp now?" ”

Yu Poison said unhurriedly: "20,000 people have finished fighting? ”

"Of course not." Zhang Niujiao looked at the battlefield drowning in the rain, and said loudly, "But let them rest for a while." Now that your men are full of energy, it's time to strike a hard blow. ”

Yu Poison glanced at Zhang Niujiao, and said softly: "Ximen is fighting fiercely, shall we wait a little and see how the situation develops?" ”

"What, do you suspect that the great sages and good teachers can't eat Li Yi's Youzhou Army?" Zhang Niujiao said in surprise, "More than 100,000 people, can't eat more than 10,000 people?" ”

Yu Poison smiled coldly and asked, "Fighting on the plains is the most suitable for cavalry to rush and kill." Have you ever seen a cavalry charge? ”

Zhang Niujiao shook his head, before joining the Taiping Dao and following Zhang Jiao to preach, he was a farmer who farmed the land, and he had never seen a horse. And after the Yellow Turban Army uprising, also because of financial reasons, he did not organize a large-scale cavalry at all, how could he have the opportunity to see the cavalry rushing and killing

"I've seen it, so I know it's amazing. More than 100,000 people How about hundreds of thousands? They come and go as they please. Yu Xuan smiled bitterly, "Although the Great Sage and Good Master have seen the Iron Cavalry's rush and kill, he is not ready at all, and Yang Feng's kid is not much better." Under such circumstances, tens of thousands of people will be immediately crushed in the face of the rush of Youzhou Iron Cavalry, leaving the swallows alone to support themselves. If Li Yi wants to break through, it will be easy. He ran all night and pestered, just to take advantage of the good opportunity when it had just begun to rain to relieve the siege of Gaotang. I think, for the sake of your future, let's take it easy, right? ”

Zhang Niujiao looked at him, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, and he said curtly: "You are not optimistic? Why not be optimistic? Now whether we take Gaotang or defeat Li Yi and his Youzhou army, we can be regarded as winning. ”

Yu Poison took a sip of porridge gently, looked at the burning fire in front of him, and said slowly: "Chu Yan has been preparing in the north, he has dug several trenches, arranged a fleet of thousands of carts, and used giant shields and piles to prepare to deal with Li Yi's Youzhou Army Iron Cavalry. As a result, Li Yi was not fooled, and ran to the battlefield in the west of the city to attack the great sage and Yang Feng's soldiers and horses. discounted the tens of thousands of troops in the west of the city, and this plan to encircle was basically in vain. ”

"If Li Yi's cavalry and them fight at the West Gate until the afternoon, we won't have enough men and horses to attack Gaotang today." Yu Poison smiled bitterly, "So, there are still three hours before the outcome of this battle is won, and we can know the result." If the Youzhou army loses and we win, we still have at least 100,000 people left to attack Gaotang, and we can take it before dark. But if the Youzhou army keeps dragging them and the main force is trapped at the east gate, our siege force will not be enough, and we will not be able to defeat Gaotang today. If you can't fight today, you won't be able to fight tomorrow, and there will be no rations the day after tomorrow, so what if you don't retreat? ”

Zhang Niujiao was silent and looked uneasy.

Yu Poison continued to analyze: "We still have almost 40,000 people in our hands, and Niu Jiao thinks you are sure to take Gaotang City?" Liu Ding in the city is better than anyone else, and he seems to have transferred all the troops from the east gate and the north gate. Didn't the horns discover that we can't even go up the city walls now? ”

"Actually, our combat mission has been completed. We attracted most of the defense of Gao Tang City at the cost of more than 10,000 casualties. As long as Chu Yan and Yang Feng participate in the siege, the defensive strength of the east gate and the north gate is insufficient, and the city can be taken down immediately. Can't you see that? ”

Zhang Niujiao's expression became more and more ugly.

Seeing that Zhang Niujiao had already been moved, Yu Poison immediately made up for the last knife: "If we lose this time, Niujiao, your army is finished, even if the great sage and good teacher pass on the position of the big leader to you, you have no strength, no army, how long can you sit in this position?" The practice of retreating as an advance is nothing more than hoping that you and I will work together to help him lay down the Tang Dynasty. In the future, when his strength recovers, will you still be able to hold this position? ”

Zhang Niujiao squeezed his hands nervously, his eyes tightly closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A smile appeared on Yu Poison's face, and he said unhurriedly: "We have already helped him complete the combat purpose of the Great Sage and Good Master, as long as the pressure on the defenders in the city is properly maintained." For the rest of the battle, we need to take it easy. Wait, wait until noon, and the situation will be clear. The Youzhou army has been wiped out, so we can continue to maintain the rhythm of the attack, drag the defense of the enemy, and let Chu Yan and Yang Feng do the siege work. If the Youzhou army is still fighting fiercely with them, we must appropriately reduce the number of attacks, preserve our strength, and be ready to retreat at any time. ”

Zhang Niujiao slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "People are old, and sometimes they are confused. Luckily, I still have a friend of yours by my side. ”

Yu Poison smiled indifferently: "Now in the Yellow Turban Army, there are mainly six forces, the headquarters of the Great Sage and Good Division, the General of Rengong, Chu Yan, and then Yang Feng's men and horses, and our brothers' people." Don't talk about the great virtuous teacher and the general of Rengong, they are brothers. Chu Yan, he is the righteous son of the great sage and good teacher, and Yang Feng is also the personal disciple of the great sage and good teacher, they are a family. The rest of us brothers are grasshoppers on a rope, who am I not helping you? (To be continued.) )
