The two thousand armored cavalry began to slow down one mile away from the enemy camp outside the far gate to save energy for the war horses. When they were a hundred feet away, they began to accelerate. The sound of hooves under the trampling of eight thousand iron hooves made even the earth faint.
Shivering, the oncoming drizzle fell on the face and body, making the soldiers and horses excited, and quickly climbed to the most suitable state for fighting.
Gao Kan, wearing a helmet and armor, galloped on his horse, leaning slightly on the horse's back with his upper body, wildly urging the horse under his crotch, increasing the speed to the limit, and rushed into the chaotic enemy camp at the head of the horse.
The huge body of the armor-covered war horse and its extreme speed produced a huge impact. The enemy in front of him who tried to resist was knocked away at the slightest contact. As the horse charged, he slashed hard with the horizontal sword in his hand, and the blade easily
Cutting apart the enemy's body, the war horse galloped forward, with broken limbs and splattered blood behind it.
Two thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy camp without any tricks. Wherever they were trampled by iron hooves, the enemy troops cried out for their fathers and mothers and fled in panic. They had no power to resist and allowed the armored cavalry to stay within their own array.
Rampage, rush and attack!
Less than half a stick of incense was taken, and the enemy's formation was already penetrated.
Gao Kan urged his horses without stopping and shouted loudly: "Don't be reluctant to fight. Leave these defeated troops to the infantry behind. You can charge with me!"
"Here!"
Two thousand soldiers followed him on horseback, and with a deafening sound of promise, they continued to attack southward towards the Golden Gate like a whirlwind of clouds, leaving the enemy camp in a mess. Before the fleeing Guanlong army could recover, they stationed guards on the right.
The light cavalry and infantry came one after another, and there was another crazy charge. The Guanlong soldiers howled and fled in all directions, or squatted on the ground and threw away their weapons and surrendered on the spot...
In less than half an hour, the more than 10,000 Guanlong troops outside Kaiyuanmen were completely defeated. The army of Youtun Guards crossed the camp and headed south at full speed without stopping.
The clanking iron hooves passed through the camp like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
…
Outside the golden door.
Endless tents stretched out along both sides of the Cao River, and they were densely packed with countless tents. Hou Mo and Chen Lin were sitting in the tent, facing the stacks of documents on the table that looked like hills, and his eyebrows were twisted into a knot, without any trace of them.
The joy of being promoted to the head coach and guarding a side.
In the six months since the Guanlong clan raised their troops, not only have they been unable to capture the Taiji Palace and overthrow the East Palace, they have suffered repeated defeats. The long-famous generals among the various clans have almost withered away, and none of them are in their prime.
Hou Mo Chen Lin, who was capable of taking on important tasks and had outstanding performance in the army, was promoted to the position of general after Yu Wenlong was defeated and captured, commanding tens of thousands of troops outside the Jinguang Gate.
Originally, someone who could command such a large army would have to be at the level of the Sixteenth General. Which soldier has never dreamed of the day when he could command thousands of troops?
However, since sitting in this position, Hou Mo and Chen Lin have not relaxed for a day...
Tens of thousands of troops are stationed outside Jinguang Gate. It's not just as simple as the crowds of people and the flags waving. Every day, people, horses and horses, ordnance and food must be taken care of by him as the commander-in-chief. Especially now, the entire Guanlong clan is extremely short of food.
, just arranging food and crops every day can make him exhausted.
Even tens of thousands of troops were stationed on both sides of the Cao River, and the garbage and feces produced every day were dumped into the Cao River nearby, making the waterway in and out of Chang'an City seriously polluted, turning it into a smelly ditch. The most serious thing is this
Such a large army requires a large amount of drinking water. It is impossible to transport it from elsewhere. The only way is to get water nearby... Then it is tragic. There is only Youtun Guard in the world. The two naval forces strictly order the army to drink boiled water. Jinguang
Countless Guanlong soldiers outside the gate suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after drinking dirty water, resulting in reduced combat effectiveness, low morale, and unstable military morale.
How can one describe being so anxious?
As for the safety of Jinguang Gate, Hou Mo and Chen Lin did not have much worry. Although all the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" entered the city to participate in the storming of Taiji Palace, there was only a group of mobs left outside Jinguang Gate, but Chang'an City was surrounded by Guanlong troops on three sides.
Surrounded by Zhang Shigui, he sealed the Xuanwu Gate. The huge Chang'an City was like a huge urn from which no news could escape. Fang Jun was in the north of the Xuanwu Gate, how could he know what was true here?
As for the army stationed at Tongguan, they have been staying for a long time. They have been sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers, watching the fierce fighting in Chang'an City with cold eyes. They have not expressed their position, let alone take any side. They must still be indifferent now... What if they care about the war in Chang'an?
The "Woye Town private soldiers" joined the siege, giving the Guanlong army in the city the ability to attack fortresses. In less than a day, they successively captured Chongming Gate, Chengtian Gate, and headed towards the Taiji Palace. Is the fall of the entire Taiji Palace still far away?
Even if Fang Jun knew the reality of Jinguang Sect by then, what would happen?
Too late.
Therefore, Hou Mo and Chen Lin are only worried about how to manage these tens of thousands of troops at the moment, and are not at all worried about the safety of Jinguang Sect.
"boom!"
The tent door was pushed open, and a soldier rushed in with a look of panic on his face. He shouted loudly: "General, something bad is going on! The Youtun Guards brazenly raided the Kaiyuanmenwai military camp and defeated it. They are now heading from the north.
Coming from the south, it’s less than ten miles away from here!”
"Bang"
When Hou Mo and Chen Lin suddenly stood up, they accidentally knocked over the inkstone on the table. Black ink spread all over the hem of his clothes without realizing it. He was stunned and said: "How is this possible?"
The soldier said: "The scout just reported back, and now he has gone out to find out the enemy's situation. It is absolutely true!"
Homo Chen Lin wiped his face, his head was buzzing, and there was only one thought in his mind - Youtunwei must have known the fact that there was no strength outside the Jinguang Gate, and he also knew that all the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" had been transferred in
In the city, that's why you dare to attack Xuanwu Gate so forcefully regardless of the safety of Xuanwu Gate!
what to do?
He was completely panicked.
The combat effectiveness of the "Woye Town private soldiers" has declined rapidly over the years, and it can no longer be said to be outstanding in field operations. Only the defense of the city can still have some combat effectiveness. With them, tens of thousands of Guanlong troops are assisted, and outside the Jinguang Gate, of course
I dare not claim to be impregnable, but it is difficult to let the Youtun Guards cross the thunder pool. Now that there is no "Woye Town Private Army", we have to rely on these rabble. No matter how many people there are, what can we do?
How to stop the wolf-like tigers of the Youtun Guards, how to stop the invincible armored cavalry in the field?
After barely regaining his composure, Hou Mo and Chen Lin grabbed the horizontal sword and walked out the door, shouting loudly: "Beat the drums immediately and gather the generals, even though we will form a formation to meet the enemy!"
He is not a fool. His military skills are among the best among the younger generation of Guanlong. He is well aware of the importance of Jinguangmen to Guanlong's army. Once his army is defeated, Youtunwei captures Jinguangmen and knows that breaking into Chang'an City will have a profound impact on the entire war situation.
There will be a complete reversal.
The Guanlong army that was attacking Taiji Palace was suddenly attacked from behind by the Youtun Guards. It was difficult to organize an effective formation to fight against it. In addition, the Youtun Guards' combat power far exceeded that of the Guanlong Army... Just think about the consequences.
, Hou Mo and Chen Lin broke into cold sweat over and over again.
"Dong, dong, dong," bursts of war drums sounded rapidly, drizzle fell, dark clouds hung low, and people on both sides of the Caohe River outside the Jinguang Gate instantly screamed and neighed. The right guards broke through the Kaiyuanmen defense line and were about to arrive here.
The news spread like wildfire, causing huge panic among the army.
Since the beginning of the Guanlong clan's uprising, no matter whose army had any advantage in front of the Youtun Guards, they were even defeated many times and suffered countless losses, which directly led to the war situation never being able to move towards the Guanlong Gate.
Progress in a favorable direction has been delayed until now.
Regarding the powerful combat power of the Youtun Guards, all the Guanlong troops were afraid of them, and their expressions changed. It was better that the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" were stationed here before, but now all the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" have entered the city.
How could the rest of them, a ragtag group of people, be able to stop the Youtun Guards?
Thinking of the invincible charge of the armored cavalry, the volleys of the musketeers, the powerful power of the sky-shaking thunder, and the devastating power of the artillery... The Youtun Guards are still ten miles away, and the entire Guanlong army outside the Golden Light Gate has already
Heartbroken, the two groups were fighting, wishing they could break up immediately and run for their lives.
Hou Mo and Chen Lin walked out of the big tent quickly with a horizontal sword in hand, jumped on his horse, and looked around. He saw that the entire camp was in a turbulent mood, and the sky was filled with anger. All the ministries were in chaos, and the gloom in his heart was even stronger, but he
With the responsibility of guarding the Golden Light Gate, you can't just run away before the battle begins, right?
Facing the hastily arrived and disheveled generals from various ministries, Hou Mo and Chen Lin had no time to shout and ordered: "Assemble all ministries immediately and line up to meet the enemy!"
Before he finished speaking, the noise around him became louder and louder.
