Chapter 132 Breaking out of the siege

In this battle, the only first whistle in the cavalry camp was wearing horses and mail.

The soldiers of the first whistle lay tightly on the horse's neck, holding a steel crossbow, and after firing it out, they hung it around their waists, pulled out the saber, and rushed towards the slaughter like lightning.

Wherever the steel crossbows were reaching, the slaughterers dodged, but how could they have time? They fell to the ground one after another and became the slaughtered. The butchers who survived by luck shouted, fled in scattered, and turned themselves into refugees.

The refugees who were tempted were not at all concerned about cutting off the rope for their restrained companions and only fleeing themselves. Some refugees were panicked and rushed towards the direction of the first post to attack.

Wu Tianzhu pulled the reins and avoided a refugee, and chopped a butcher beside him to the ground, but another refugee appeared in front of him. Wu Tianzhu had no choice but to step on the refugee's feet with his horse's hooves. Blood and internal organs gushed out, which was a terrible sight.

Wu Tianzhu clenched his teeth, almost bleeding, and shouted wildly: "Stay horse fast! Those who block the road will kill you!" Before he finished shouting, he cut a refugee blocking the road to the ground.

The guards around him raised their throats and shouted, "Stay on the horse's speed, and those who block the road will kill you!"

The butchers and refugees who had lost their courage could not stop the first post. The first post broke into the refugee group and rushed towards the group of archers on the hills. Some knights even cut off the ropes in the refugee hands.

As long as you get close to the archer, you will be a one-sided massacre!

More and more refugees were running away. Soon, they wrapped Wu Tianzhu's first whistle in the middle, and the horse speed became slower and slower. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Tianzhu immediately ordered to pass out of the refugee group diagonally.

However, it was too late! On the ground, Zhang Baichuan waved his arm suddenly and shouted hysterically: "Cum!"

After giving the order, Zhang Baichuan couldn't help but close his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation of the massacre site again.

The arrows were like rain, pouring on the first whistle and the refugees indiscriminately!

The soothing sound was like a death talisman, which made the refugees even more crazy. Some refugees picked up their discarded weapons, thought the first post blocked the way, so they unceremoniously went to the first post and immediately greeted the soldiers.

The soldiers of the first whistle were well protected, and the damage caused to them by bows and arrows was minimal. The greatest threat to them was the refugees around them.

Zhang Xianzhong had rich experience in massacring refugees and knew that refugees would become madmen at the last moment of being massacred. So he used refugees as bait to attract Wu Tianzhu's first whistle to fall into the trap.

Zhang Xianzhong was very proud of his plan and claimed that this was called a serial trap. Zhang Baichuan's archers were the first set, and Ainengqi and Sun Kewang's elites were the second set!

When Wu Tianzhu broke off contact with the refugees, he found that he had lost nearly fifty soldiers and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These soldiers died unjustly, and were basically pulled off the horse by the refugees and died under the trampling. Under the dense bows and arrows, almost half of the refugees who were uncovered died, and the task of rescuing refugees was basically considered a failure.

Seeing that the living refugees had fled far away and the bandits had no intention of chasing them, Wu Tianzhu returned to the formation dejectedly.

In this formation, four cavalry sentry were stumbled with joy. Zheng Guodong, Han Kesheng, Ge Wenfei and Ding Kuian took turns to attack, and after firing a round of crossbow arrows for more than 100 steps, they retreated to the side. Sun Kewang's carefully organized defensive formation was in a situation where he could only be beaten but could not fight back. However, Sun Kewang was not only not angry, but was becoming happier and happier. He frequently looked at the east to find the troops surrounded by Ainengqi.

At the same time, Sheng Kunshan, like Sun Kewang, kept looking east, looking forward to the report of the horse exploration to determine the next step of action. After Lin Chunhong had more cavalry, he could effectively implement battlefield reconnaissance and battlefield closure, and his ability to control the battlefield was far stronger than Zhang Xianzhong. Not only did Lin Chunhong feel like a different world, but even Sheng Kunshan felt uncomfortable, just like a poor man suddenly got a lot of gold and didn't know how to squander it.

When Wu Tianzhu returned to the formation, Sheng Kunshan was stunned. He never expected that the bandits would actually lure more than 200 cavalrymen to take the bait with their lives of ten thousand people. What kind of courage does this require? Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang either heroes or demons, Sheng Kunshan sighed.

Seeing that the morale of the first sentry was frustrated, Sheng Kunshan kept comforting Wu Tianzhu: "I lost more than fifty brothers, but saved thousands of people. If I say it, the brothers will only look up at the first sentry. Don't worry, the general will never blame him, but will think it is a credit! Besides, even if the general blames him, the blame will be on me. I have not thought about it before the war..."

Wu Tianzhuyin said with a deep eyes and hatred: "Whether it is engaged in military law or credit, that's nothing. The key is that I think my brothers died too unfairly. We went to rescue the refugees, but were dragged off by the refugees. What's the matter? It's chaos, everything is in chaos. These dogs are blind. They just go to the cavalry to drill, and some of them are for them to drill..."

Sheng Kunshan was silent for a moment and sighed: "Those refugees have never experienced the battle formation. When they faced a desperate situation, they suddenly had a glimmer of hope. How could they care about so much? Alas, it seems that there are still a lot of things to learn for the generals. At least in our thinking about people's hearts, we still lack something... But we have to learn from our mistakes and learn from each other. We have to pay attention to this matter in the future."

Wu Tianzhu nodded silently. At this moment, he rushed to the horse and said to Sheng Kunshan quickly and urgently: "Report to command, Ai Nengqi led more than 6,000 infantry soldiers and had arrived in Hezhuang, and there were still twenty miles away from Bikou..."

Sheng Kunshan's heart sank suddenly. Ai Nengqi did not attack Xubao, but went to Bikou to surround the Cavalry Camp. The war was developing in the direction that the military commander least wanted to see. When Sun Kewang blocked the road ahead, Bikou was the only way for the Cavalry Camp to leave the river. If Ai Nengqi was allowed to block Bikou, the Cavalry Camp would be surrounded tightly.

Fortunately, with a cavalry with strong mobility, he can understand the enemy's dynamics clearly at any time and minimize the possible dangers. In addition, he can also prevent the enemy from knowing his actions. How could Ainengqi's attempt to detour around the cavalry camp be hidden from the exploration of horses spreading everywhere?

No wonder the general tried his best to expand the cavalry after trying his best. Sheng Kunshan had just returned from Jingzhou and was clear about the dilemma of Bangtai's current difficulty in expanding its military strength.

Sheng Kunshan is very proud, and the status of the cavalry represents his status. How can he not be proud?

After seeing Sheng Kunshan receive the report, Wu Tianzhu remained silent. Although he was unwilling to give up, he had no choice but to do anything, "Boss, what should we do?"

Sheng Kun Mountain was looking at the battlefield westward. Seeing Ding Kuian's fifth whistle disturbing the enemy, a burst of crossbow arrows shot Sun Kewang's troops sobbing. After hearing Wu Tianzhu's words, he replied: "What can I do? It seems that I have to get a bamboo basket this time and it's a waste of time!"

"Then let's go quickly. If Ainengqi can run even more than a rabbit, we will be in danger!"

"No, no hurry, how could Ainengqi run so fast? Wait before leaving."

Wu Tianzhu pulled the reins uneasily, and the owner's emotions quickly spread to the war horse. The war horse kept digging sand with its front hooves and spraying heat uneasily. After thinking for a while, seeing that Sheng Kunshan had not left yet, Wu Tianzhu said: "If you want me, we might as well stay here and not leave. Although Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi surrounded us, for the general, it was equivalent to dragging Zhang Xianzhong's two elite troops. The general could attack Miyang with all his strength and shoot out Zhang Xianzhong's intestines!"

Sheng Kunshan shook his head, "The plan is very good. If the coach is Lu, maybe he will do it like this. Hehe, General..."

"What about the general?"

Sheng Kunshan smiled mysteriously, "You have followed the general for so long, but you still don't know about the general? The general is unwilling to take risks in his life."

"What's the danger? We have both elite soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong were dragged down by us. The town of Biyang County is full of old, weak, sick and disabled. The general must be able to capture it. When Zhang Xianzhong was in a tight position, could Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi not fight to save him? We will be able to resolve our siege?"

Sheng Kunshan said: "There are too many accidents on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that Zhang Xianzhong will be tight? If he is tight, he will recall Sun Kewang and Ainengqi? I agree with the general's idea. The Cavalry Camp has left Bikou. No matter what accident occurs, we can only retreat to Xubao. However, if the Cavalry Camp is blocked and a little bit surprised, we will be passive, and it is very likely that the Cavalry Camp will be wiped out."

Wu Tianzhu smiled, with a very proud smile, "Then let's withdraw our troops from Bikou quickly. If Ainengqi suddenly goes crazy and feels Bikou desperately, we will be passive!"

Sheng Kunshan suddenly woke up and cursed with a smile: "You want me to retreat to Bikou immediately, and just say, "What are you doing in such a big circle? You kid are getting worse as you learn..."

Sheng Kunshan did not hesitate. With a command, more than a thousand knights retreated in an instant, leaving the disappointed Sun Kewang far behind, leaving only the dust in the sky, which could not float for a long time...

When the horse was exploring the camp blatantly, Ai Nengqi was anxious and kept urging his subordinates to rush their way.

Ainengqi's armor rate is more than 30%, and his weapons can basically be equipped as needed, which can be regarded as Zhang Xianzhong's elite. Since Zhang Xianzhong particularly favors long-range strike forces, like Sun Kewang's troops, there are many archers in Ainengqi's troops. The white-rod soldiers have poor protection capabilities, so it is not surprising that they are defeated by Zhang Xianzhong.

Since the day before yesterday, Ai Nengqi led more than 6,000 people from the headquarters to run for more than 80 miles, but the team has not yet dispersed. This shows Ai Nengqi's ability to manage the army.

"Brothers, we will reach Bikou in five miles. Come on, when we arrive at Bikou, we will make dumplings..." Ainengqi kept annoyed for the soldiers around him.

However, these soldiers were exhausted and almost immune to this, just like the wind blowing in their ears, leaving no impression.

Ainengqi was secretly anxious and doubted whether he could still block the Cavalry Camp after rushing to Bikou like this.

Unable, Ainengqi had to change his words, "General Sun sent a message saying that the dog officers and soldiers had two horses, both of which were extremely divine horses and Mongolian horses. They were also wearing plate armor. The plate armor was quite light and much better than the fish scale armor. As long as we blocked the Bikou, the dog officers and soldiers still surrendered in sight? Haha, the plate armor and war horses will belong to us..."

These words finally aroused the interest of the soldiers. After years of fighting on the battlefield, these men personally experienced the value of a set of armor with their wounds. Under Ainengqi's suggestion, the officers announced this to the soldiers, and their morale was finally slightly restored.

"Report...the officers and soldiers rushed out of the Bikou..."

Ainengqi no longer had to listen to the report of the horse-spotting, because the sound of dull iron hooves sounded from afar, and the cavalry camp rushed to the scene immediately after the horse-spotting.

“Array…”
