With the sound of a cannon, the Xia army surged towards the two thousand cavalry led by Xin Chou like a tide. Their iron armor clanked and their horse hooves flew, and a huge plume of smoke and dust was raised on the field.
Xu Zizhen was secretly frightened as he watched at the gate. The opponent's cavalry numbered over 10,000, and there was a huge Chinese army guarding behind them, watching eagerly.
Ye Bianzhou could be swallowed up by the stormy waves at any time.
If it weren't for the theory of ambush in the army, Xu Zizhen might have been unable to hold back and lead his troops out to rescue him. Even if the army in the army repeatedly told him that there were surprise troops, he still gritted his teeth and stared at the front of the formation.
Secretly I was sweating for Xin Chou.
Xin Chou calmly looked at the Xia army coming towards him with great momentum. After giving an order, the two thousand cavalrymen raised their spears in unison. Everyone had a look of disdain on their faces, as if they didn't take the opponent seriously at all.
.
Seeing that the Xia army was getting closer and closer to Xin Chou, the sound of the closed artillery suddenly rang again, and the shells fell accurately into the Xia army's cavalry formation with sharp whistling sounds.
Boom boom boom!
Bright fires continued to explode in the crowd. This was He Liangliang's masterpiece. Xia Jun was caught off guard. The impact that he had just accelerated slowed down again. The black-armored Xia general roared angrily:
"Charge! Charge me! Whoever dares to take even half a step back, I will chop him down!"
Shell fragments were flying everywhere, and Xia troops continued to fall off their horses, and even men and horses were blown up. Xu Zizhen turned his head in shock and saw that the soldiers who had died beside the artillery had already been carried aside.
Another group of artillerymen was replaced at some point.
Xu Zizhen said with great joy: "Mr. Xiaozhong, when did you prepare the artillery?"
The master smiled slightly: "The Xia army's siege equipment is fierce, and artillery is the only weapon that can restrain them. How can I deal with them if I don't prepare more gunners?" At this point, he pointed to the distance, "Don't be anxious.
, look there.”
Xu Zizhen looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a fire suddenly appearing behind the Xia army at the far end. It was only a small area at first, but with the strong north wind in the field, the fire soon became more and more intense.
Bright, gradually lighting up half of the sky.
"Holy shit! Burning food and grass in the rear camp of a sneak attack? Isn't this a common trick I use? Mr. Xiaozhong, how many ambushes have you set up?" Xu Zizhen jumped up immediately.
Master Zhong chuckled lightly, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how many troops I ambush, today's battle will still be extremely difficult and dangerous. After all, the Xia people are three times more powerful than me." At this point, he turned to look at Xu Zizhen,
"Zizhen, today's situation cannot be broken except by you!"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Me? Am I so capable?"
Master Zhong said seriously: "You are the God of War known to everyone in the Xixia army. If you go to war, you will definitely destroy their morale."
Xu Zizhen responded without thinking: "Okay! Then I will lead some people to kill him and bring Lao Xin back."
Zhong Shizhong slowly shook his head: "It's just that there are not many manpower available in the pass now. I'm afraid you have to fight with a small number against a large number, but in fact it will be extremely dangerous."
Xu Zizhen grinned: "It's a blow to morale, right? What you want is to fight with a small number against a large number, look at me!" After saying that, he turned to look at Guan Nei and cursed, "What are those boys dawdling about? They haven't arrived yet."
Master Zhong smiled and said, "But your Shenji Camp?"
Xu Zizhen said: "Yes, I asked Daye to call them. It's too slow to keep the distance just like this, isn't it?"
The artillery fire continued, suppressing the oncoming Xixia cavalry, but the Xia army was too numerous after all, and the artillery was not enough. Xu Zizhen watched helplessly as they still rushed towards Xin Chou with ferocious faces.
"Damn it, Lao Xin will die if you don't come back!" Xu Zizhen was so anxious that he clutched the Tang Dao tightly in his hand and frequently looked back at Guan Nei.
Finally, a black shadow appeared in his sight, and five hundred men on fast horses were galloping towards Guan Guan. Xu Zizhen ran towards the city wall. Before he reached the base of the wall, he turned over and jumped on his horse, catching up with Shenji Camp.
Everyone.
The leaders of the five hundred cavalry were Daye and Bu Fen. Before they could speak, Xu Zizhen cursed hurriedly: "Why are you so slow? If you don't come here, you won't be able to hold on to this pass!"
Ohno said sarcastically: "Master, I've arrived a long time ago, but..."
"Why are you so anxious? You don't need a little time, right?" A voice floated out from the crowd, low and hoarse, but it was Tang Lun.
Xu Zizhen didn't expect that he would appear here. He reacted suddenly and glanced at the people in the Shenji Camp. He saw that many of them had happy faces. He still didn't understand what happened and said with great joy:
"Uncle Tang, did you drive out the musket?"
Tang Lun rolled his eyes at him: "My old bones are about to catch up, why don't you hurry up and let them start practicing?"
Xu Zizhen felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He quickly suppressed his excitement, raised his Tang Dao and shouted: "Shenji Camp, listen to the order!"
"have!"
"Array up! Let's go out and give the summer dog a taste!"
"yes!"
Xu Zizhen reined in the horse's head, turned towards the suspension bridge, and shouted: "Open the door!"
The suspension bridge creaked and slowly lowered, revealing Xin Chou's squad and the Xixia cavalry galloping in the distance. Xu Zizhen jumped out on his horse and shouted: "Old Xin, return to the pass quickly!"
When Xin Chou turned around and saw him, his face suddenly lit up with joy. Then he saw the five hundred people behind Xu Zizhen, and he was startled again.
Xu Zizhen said anxiously: "Look at Mao, why don't you come back to me quickly?"
“Oh!”
The Xinchou team turned their horses and retreated, while the Shenji battalion quickly ran out in two directions. In just a moment, the two groups of men and horses completed the alternation.
The Shenji Battalion lined up in three horizontal lines in front of the pass. Xu Zizhen stood in the center of the line with his white horse and white clothes. Next to him was Bu Fen, who looked calm. The attack of the Xixia cavalry was obviously delayed, and many Xia troops had already screamed.
: "Jinchengguan God of War?"
Xu Zizhen raised his left hand and shouted: "Musketeers, get ready!"
The first row of musketeers held up their double-barreled shotguns and pointed the muzzles steadily at the oncoming Xia army.
Xu Zizhen silently counted the distance between Xia Jun and himself without blinking. Suddenly he felt that there was someone else around him. When he turned around, he turned out to be Oh Ye. He was stunned and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Who asked you to come out of confinement?
Yes? Go back quickly!"
Ohno smiled naively, shook his head and said, "I want to accompany the young master."
"You..." Xu Zizhen was angry and funny, but he was slightly moved in his heart. This stupid guy didn't know kung fu, so he ran to the battlefield to die. But this kind of loyalty is really rare. Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me, don't do it."
Running around!"
Daye nodded heavily, turned his hand and showed a sword that was much longer than an ordinary saber. He and Bu Fen stood beside Xu Zizhen on the left and right, with solemn expressions on their faces.
The Xixia cavalry arrived in an instant. Xu Zizhen saw it clearly. He raised his left hand and dropped it fiercely, shouting: "Fire!"
