Chapter 354: Half Ninety for Those Who Travel a Hundred Miles (Ask for Subscription)
On the morning of the next day, the soldiers of the coalition army, who had just experienced a night of harassment and fatigue of the enemy, appeared outside Xingyang City again.
Tired of the enemy all night, although Mo Xiaobai and the others knew that it was an enemy plan, they were also tossed and didn't sleep all night. Looking at the soldiers outside the city, Mo Xiaobai narrowed his eyes:
"Although we did not give up the siege, the number of soldiers was nearly half less than the day before."
Unlike the posture of 5,000 elite soldiers waiting in formation a day ago, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers in Mo Xiaobai's eyes at this moment.
Not to mention that compared to when the coalition forces first came, even the number of people is very different from when they retreated last night.
Mo Xiaobai would not think that the other 1,000 people were going to take turns off, and the only answer could only be to leave quietly and return to the camp they had set up outside Aocang.
The large camp of the coalition army, located at the intersection of the official road from Aocang to Xingyang, is a necessary place for the north to go south.
The entrance to the camp that was completely cut off by the dirt slopes on all sides, a dozen coalition soldiers leaned against the side of the door, and there was not much wartime tension.
It is said that it is garrisoned, but in fact, it is just looking at the gate.
In their eyes, Ao Cang, who was only defended by a thousand people, could not take the initiative to attack.
But things often turned out to be different from what they imagined, and just when they thought they would stand for a while and soon arrive at meal, the sound of marching footsteps came from the official road to the north.
In less than half a minute, a fast horse had already appeared in front of them.
The horse, and the man on horseback.
This group of soldiers is not only memorable, but even difficult to forget in this life.
"Enemy attack!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Seeing clearly that the person who came was Li Guang, who was able to ride into battle alone, this group of soldiers was shocked, and immediately closed the gate of the village, and kept shouting around.
Li Guang, who was in the lead, naturally saw this change, but his horse speed did not slow down, and his soldiers followed with all their might.
"Archer, shoot!"
At the entrance of the village, dozens of archers in charge of protection had quickly gathered and shot at Li Guang.
Faced with the galloping rain of arrows, Li Guang waved his knife with both hands, constantly blocking the sharp arrows that threatened himself and the war horse under his crotch.
The distance of 100 meters is only between five or six breaths.
The archers only had time to shoot a round of arrows before they found that Li Guang had arrived at the entrance of the village, and showed no signs of slowing down.
"Bump it over!"
In the face of the simple gate that was temporarily built overnight in front of him, Li Guang directly let 'Feixue' break the door violently.
Feixue, who was neatly dressed, was not afraid of the wooden gate in front of him, and after increasing his speed to the extreme, while Li Guang was slashing with gravity, he also hit it straight with the barbed iron helmet on his head.
Originally, the walled gate, which had already cracked after being hit hard by Li Guang, would be directly smashed to pieces. Feixue's footsteps did not stop and stepped directly, and in the next second, he had already rushed into the archery formation.
"Death, roadblocker!"
Li Guang can even break through the wooden hammer formation, and the archers who have almost no melee ability will naturally not be taken into his eyes, not to mention that there are dozens of archers here, and they are not a threat to Li Guang.
With Li Guang's breakthrough, the outside of the village soon broke in. Led by Li Guang, after defeating more than 100 defenders at the entrance of the village, he immediately rushed straight into the middle battle.
Subsequently, both Li Guang and the surrounding soldiers found a problem.
No one!
The entire camp was not very large, and the entire midfield could be swept almost at a glance without removing the high ground on both sides. But now it is not only in the middle of the formation, in fact, since Li Guang broke through the archer squad and entered the camp, he has not seen the rest of the enemy troops.
"Let's go, go to Houzhai."
There was no one in the middle of the formation, Li Guang hardly thought about it, and directly led the troops to continue to rush forward.
However, when he stepped into the back of the camp with his front feet, a group of figures suddenly poured out on the high ground on the left and right sides, and at the same time, at the entrance of the back village, there was also a team of people firmly holding the gate of the village.
is the leading general, and it is Pang De, who was still leading his troops to attack Xingyang the day before.
The soldiers on three sides closed one after another, surrounding Li Guang and the five hundred Han soldiers, Pang De took two steps forward, and the long knife in his hand was already raised:
"Would you like to report your name?"
"A certain family, Li Guang!" Faced with the sudden encirclement at the moment, Li Guang's expression was very indifferent.
Li Guang?
Hearing the name, Pound's eyes shrank sharply.
As a former Han general, Li Guang's name is really thunderous.
"It turned out that the flying general was in person, in Xia Xiliang Pound." Pang De said as he tightened the sword in his hand: "The general is going, but he wants to rescue Xingyang?" ”
"So what? Will you give way to me? Li Guang pulled the reins and took two diagonal steps, and said with a smile: "If you get out of the way now, I can let you live." ”
"Joke, you can't escape now, how long can you run rampant?"
Xue Wanche, who was defeated by Li Guang's knife a few days ago, forced over from the right side, and said to Pang De with a sneer: "Ling Mingxiu wants to smack his tongue with him, and he will be beheaded today." ”
The revenge of the knife two days ago, Xue Wanche has always remembered it in his heart. Although Li Guang can't fight alone, there are nearly 4,000 soldiers around, and now there is Pang De's help, no matter how you look at it, revenge is expected.
"I don't know."
When Li Guang heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face: "If I am not completely sure, dare to lead the troops out of Aocang?" You and other children's tricks have long been seen through by my lord. Today is not the death of my Li Guang, but the end of what you are waiting for! ”
"When a duck is cooked, it's hard to have a mouth."
Xue Wanche didn't care what 'tricks' or 'tricks' he had, he only knew that Li Guang was surrounded right now, and he waved his knife and shouted:
"Kill!"
Xue Wanche's rough shout could be regarded as directly breaking the current confrontation situation. Thousands of soldiers rushed from all sides, and he and Pang De rushed directly towards Li Guang.
"Don't panic, sons, follow me to fight first."
Li Guang also raised his knife and charged, and the target was still directed at Xue Wanche.
It's just that this time Xue Wanche learned to be obedient, and did not recklessly attack Li Guang, but maintained a defensive position, and resisted Li Guang's slashing with a horizontal knife.
Xue Wanche is also a fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty, and if he doesn't seek a quick attack, it will be difficult for Li Guang to replicate the picture of killing the enemy with one move. Coupled with the side Pound slapping the horse, there is a delicate balance between the three.
"As long as Li Guang is taken, we can take advantage of the situation to occupy Aocang and Xingyang."
"The old general's strategizing is very admirable."
On the high ground in the north, looking at the dominant situation below, several generals who followed Zhi Gang's side couldn't help but open their mouths to compliment.
The strategy of this battle was set by Zhigang. Judging from the current situation, taking Ao Cang is a certainty.
"Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and you should not be prematurely happy." Zhi Gang shook his head, as the only S-level general in the coalition army, he could see that Li Guang had not shown any timidity so far.
It's not a pretense, it's true.
"The old general is arrogant, can he Li Guang still fly away?"
The generals on the side didn't care, but just as Zhi Gang wanted to say something, there was a sudden noise on the high ground in the south opposite.
Through the fighting situation below, the sound was no longer obvious when it reached the north, but Zhifu's face was no longer calm.
