In the middle of the night, Shaodian Cang was awakened by a whistle in the distance, Shaodian Ben opened the curtain and strode in, "My lord, there is an enemy night attack." ”

"Night attack?" Shaodian Cang jumped out of the marching bed and pierced his armor with the help of Shaodianben, "The local army also dares to sneak attack my camp?"

During the day, I did not see the flag of the regular army on the city of Gongbo, and the 196th Division did not play its own banner.

"The patrol team reported that the enemy's armor was similar to ours, except for an extra red belt, and the uninjured captain had led the attack. ”

Shaodiancang buckled his helmet and ordered: "Order, all the brigades will mount their horses and assemble, and make a tentative charge near the enemy." ”

Shaodian's unharmed first charge was returned by a dense stream of crossbow arrows, and he had to run around the side wall of the camp to the rear.

Fortunately, thanks to the alertness of the patrol, the enemy was detected in advance in the field, and the defense of the barracks was fully activated, and the enemy began to be blocked on the perimeter.

Shaodian Cang gathered three brigades at the rear of the camp, and found that Shaodian had retreated unharmed, so he stepped forward to ask.

"When the subordinates saw the military flag of the 196th Division, they must have come from the troops of the 20th Army Corps, they were equipped with a large number of strong crossbows, and a small number of cavalry were cruising nearby...... "There are holes in Shaodian's uninjured armor, and experienced people can see at a glance that it is an arrow hole.

"Immediately inform General Wu to beware of the night attack of the troops of the Twentieth Army. ”

Shao Diancang first thought of the enemy army in the city with more than one division.

"Who is the commander of the 196th Division?" he thought about next.

The staff officer replied, "Townfford." ”

"Incompetent. "The arrogance returned to Shaodiancang," the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades went around the rear of the enemy army and cut off their retreat. "He was confident to hold the barracks.

The battle in front of the barracks was fierce, dense arrows flew around, dozens of magicians fought in the air, from time to time there were swords and guns shooting at each other, it could be a cover for the night, and the casualties on both sides were not large.

Shaodiancang came to the front of the barracks, and the captain of the defenders came to report: "The enemy's attack is weakening, and the subordinates suspect that they are retreating." ”

"You and Wu Wei are responsible for guarding the camp, and the other troops will assemble in the left camp. ”

This is Shao Diancang, he didn't care about the situation on the side of the 92nd Division, and decided to eat the enemy in front of him first.

The 196th Division really withdrew, and it was very fast, and on the way back, it encountered 3,000 cavalry, and once again forced back the cavalry charge with a rain of arrows, and retreated to the north gate of Gongbo City in an orderly manner.

"What?," Wu Chao suddenly fell asleep, "There is an ambush in the city?, why is there no movement on my side?" His mind began to run at high speed.

The staff officer came and asked, "Do you want to send troops to support?"

"General Cang didn't ask for help, they should be able to hold it, it's night now, the situation in the city is unknown, don't fall for the enemy's plan to attack the west. The three brigades were ordered to disperse and reconnoiter the surroundings of our camp to confirm that there were no enemy ambushes within five miles. Wu was worried that he was the target of the enemy.

To the north, Shaodiancang led the army out of the camp to pursue, chasing until the three brigades sent out earlier halfway, "Hmph! They can't run far, the whole army accelerates, don't let the enemy retreat to the city!"

Nearly 10,000 horses galloped, the sound of thunderous hooves drowned out the shouts of the soldiers, and the ground near them trembled in the darkness.

Feng Xu stood on the city tower, looking at the fire in the distance, the rear of the city tower gathered a black pressure team, in the middle of which there were ten behemoths covered by black cloth, and then there were thousands of strong people holding torches high, holding tools similar to shovels and shovels in their hands.

When the ground shook slightly, Feng Xu, who was expressionless, ordered: "Open the city gate, a large team prepares, and go out of the city to meet the battle as soon as the war drums sound." ”

At this time, Tang Fu was in charge of the sneak attack, and shouted: "Hurry up! The city gate is open, turn west in front of the city gate, don't run around!"

Five thousand men followed him out of the city to attack, but now only about three thousand have run back, and the casualties of the previous battle were not large, and two-fifths of them are missing.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Shao Diancang gradually fell from the front to the middle of the troops, almost all of his subordinates raised the horse speed to the highest, and many surpassed him.

They were completely in pursuit, not deliberately maintaining their formation, and in their eyes the enemy was already frightened.

Far south, there was also a cavalry unit in the darkness of night, and the target was Gongbo City.

"Keep up the speed, we will arrive before noon tomorrow, Gongbo City must not fall!" The commander of the team is the commander of the twentieth legion, Yi Sheng.

Originally, the Twentieth Army had a cavalry division, and after returning to Ding Kui, Nanqiu County supplemented him with a large number of war horses, and now the non-cavalry division also has a lot of war horses.

Farther south, in the Princess Mansion of Nanqiu County, the guards woke up Ding Kui and sent a magic message.

"It's Fengxu again, this guy can, come up with such a tactic, and the name of the elite legion will be damaged tonight. Ding Kui burned it after reading the military situation.

Because there must be a battle report later, this kind of military information does not need to be archived, and the supreme commander can destroy it after reading it.

"Turn, turn, remove the West Gate first!"

The north gate of Gongbo City was wide open, but there were many people blocked in the city gate, it should be the troops who were preparing to go out of the city to respond, and the troops who came back just collided, and there was no way to enter the city so they had to run west along the city wall.

Shao Diancang saw it really clearly, and hurriedly ordered: "Charge at full speed!

Feng Xu saw the fire in the distance turn into an arrow, and immediately ordered: "Beat the drum!"

Knock knock, "Attack!" The troops inside the city gate moved, and behemoths covered in black cloth rushed out.

"Circle!" the officers ran to the front, and the soldiers who came out from behind were hiding behind the behemoth, and all of them did not light torches, but relied on the faint light of the fire from the city.

"Rush over! tear them apart!" the cavalry howled.

"Bright car!"

Pieces of black cloth were ripped off, revealing the monster underneath.

"Chariot?" Shao Diancang first thought of these two words.

It was the first time he had seen something like this, the iron beast was not like the iron beast, the chariot was not like the chariot, due to the lack of light, he could vaguely see that the monster had a "spear" on the front, and the overall shape was pointed in front and wide in the back.

"The spear and shield are on the side, the strong crossbow is in the center, and the top!" The officer saw that the cavalry was almost coming, and hurriedly ran back to the middle of the circle.

"Shoot!" the front row of cavalry fired gunfire.

Ten half-moon-shaped fighting qi rays several meters long shot ten monsters at once.

Ping-pong, ping-pong, the monsters shook, and some stepped back a little, but the spear failed to cut through the monster in front of the cavalry as the cavalry wished.

"Prepare to attack!" the officer's voice trembled with excitement.

Feng Xu lay on the fence, staring at the ten monsters tightly, and his ten fingers were a little white.

"Stop, form a circle with me as the center!" Townsford called out to the team running towards the west gate.

Boom, the cavalry vanguard crashed into the circle in front of the city gate.

The front one uses superb riding skills to avoid the cone tip of the front of the monster, but the back one can't see clearly, and even the man and the horse collide with it.

Feng Xu's eyes lit up, and he slapped off a section of the railing with one palm, "Okay! The iron block is really hard enough! Release the arrow! Release the arrow, why are you still stunned?"

Boom, the crossbowmen in the city reacted, the scene below was too shocking, and the ten iron pulleys actually withstood the charge of the elite cavalry.

The iron pulley allocated to the 196th Division was originally intended for siege, but it was conceived of being used against cavalry. The bulky iron pulley was not suitable for cavalry, but if the enemy was unprepared, it would have a chance to achieve unexpected results.

The cavalry squeezed between the ten iron pulleys was attacked by the infantry, and the long ** arrows rushed to the face, blocking one side and the other, and the cavalry who rushed into the circle were not spared, only the cavalry that went around to both sides avoided the attack of the infantry behind the iron pulley, but a rain of arrows fell overhead.

Seeing this, Shaodiancang's heart was dripping blood, but he still didn't believe that there was a "chariot" that could block the iron hooves of the 91st Division, "rush over! Break them up!" There were 7,000 cavalry beside him.

"Trenches are dug on the periphery, rest in the inner ring, crossbowmen check the arrows, and the magicians go back to the city to help. "Tong Fu commanded the troops to stand in place.

Now there is no need to remove the West Gate, maybe there is still a chance to counterattack.

The second wave of cavalry crashed into the iron block formation, and the fate was not much different from the first wave.

The iron pulley has brakes, and there are many places on the track that can be stuck, plus the weight of the car, the soldiers and horses in the car, it is not a problem to withstand two or three waves of impact.

"The iron gun is stuck in the back of the car, hold me up!" "The commander has a lot of experience, and after two waves of shock, he found a way to help the iron block.

The enemy rushed in waves, and some of the 1,000 infantry behind the cart were idle, so it was better to use it to stabilize the iron pulley.

"Okay! light the fire pit!" Feng Xu became more and more confident.

He had already seen the defeat of the enemy.

In his original plan, the Iron Block could withstand half of the enemy attack and complete the mission, and the buried fire pit and Townsford's troops could slow down the remaining enemy troops. Once the cavalry loses speed, it will become a target for crossbowmen.

Coaxing, dozens of pits appeared on the ground, and several meters of flames rose in the pits, and Shao Diancang finally realized that the situation was wrong.

"Slow!" The right flank and the center turned to the enemy forces below the city, and the left flank turned around. He hastened to change the order.

Over there, Tang Fu also ordered: "Lean towards the chariot formation! The crossbowmen shoot and throw the net." ”

Feng Xu on the tower of the city ordered: "The crossbowmen move to the west to cover Lord Tang!"

The officer in the formation shouted: "Turn the triangle!"

Another thousand cavalry fell to the ground, Shaodian panicked, and hurriedly ordered: "Ring the gong! Retreat!"

Tang Fu's reaction was also very fast: "Turn the cone formation and catch up." ”

The two armies reversed in an instant, Shao Diancang's troops were on the run, and Tang Fu's troops were chasing.

The commander of the formation ran to the front alone, put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, and then ordered: "The whole team! ”

The cavalry was already running fast, and with the cover of the night, Shaodiancang with less than 4,000 men quickly got rid of Tang Fu's pursuit.

But as soon as they slowed down a little, a fire broke out on the side of the avenue, and behind a long trench stood the enemy.

"Shoot at will!" crossbow bolts flew from behind the trench.

This force was the ambush army that Tang Fu left on the road.

Seeing the light of the fire from afar, Townsford shouted, "Sprint with all your might!" ”
