In the central military tent, He Geng sat down dejectedly, his face ashen as death.
Zhang Gu is his nephew, not bad, but he is only a superficial nephew. Zhang Gu's biological aunt is Concubine Zhang Guifei of the current dynasty. His success is inseparable from the support of Concubine Zhang Guifei's family.
If Zhang Gu died here, He Geng could think of the anger of the entire Zhang family. The only young man of this generation, the future Marquis, died under his own hands. He was afraid that this time he would be sent to prison.
Lin Tong's face was pale and his voice was hoarse: "Master Su, four thousand soldiers are fighting outside. We can't watch like this. The old people in the camp know that you are good at fighting back and turning death into life."
"Back then, Li Xiaoqin followed you, destroyed Lintao Tun Fort, and attacked Yumen Pass. It was a classic battle situation facing death. I believe that in the face of a battle situation like today, Mr. Su, you must have a way."
"I, Lin Tong, used to be jealous of talents, narrow-minded, and offended the Marquis in many ways. I am here to apologize to the Marquis."
"Regardless of whether the Marquis's method is effective or not, I, Lin Tong, guarantee that if you lose, I am the initiator of this battle, and I am willing to bear all the blame."
"If it's a fluke and you beat Tule, the credit will all go to the Marquis."
Lin Tong's eyes were red and he looked at Su Lu. For the sake of his own future, Lin Tong decided to risk everything.
What does bowing to Su Lu mean? Compared with one's own future, what does face mean? Can it be eaten?
Su Ge rushed in from outside, his voice hoarse: "I heard that General Zhang Gu was surrounded, why didn't you send troops out of the camp? If something happens to General Zhang Gu, who of you can afford it?"
Su Ge looked at Lin Tong and He Geng talking.
All the generals in the camp looked angry and started to scold Su Ge.
Fan Wenshao suddenly stood up, stopped the generals who were about to get angry, clasped his fists and said to Su Ge:
"Weiwei Su, it's not that the two generals didn't want to save him, it's that the soldiers have been fighting for days and are exhausted, so they can't save him at all."
Su Ge was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then turned his eyes to Su Lu and said in an anxious voice:
"Master Marquis, you must have a way. You must save General Zhang Gu. Although he has an arrogant temper and is not a good person, the four thousand soldiers outside are all people with families and careers. They should not accompany him.
Let Zhang Gu die and be buried."
Su Lu glanced at Su Ge in surprise, seeing how Su Ge looked like he was having an affair with Zhang Gu.
After scanning the tent with his eyes, Su Lu spoke:
"Originally, I was the one who came up with the strategy for the night attack. I was planning to lead three armies out of the camp. During the day, I noticed that the Thule Army's offensive had slowed down, so I thought that the Thule Army might make other moves, so I asked Mr. Fan Wenshao to remind me.
General."
"Looking at the battle situation outside, the Thule Army has dispatched no less than ten thousand people, and most of them are cavalry. If we want to save Zhang Gu in one fell swoop, three armies may not be enough."
"I want to exercise the right to mobilize all military units."
"I want the right to mobilize the Beiyang City garrison."
Su Lu looked at He Geng and told Lin Tong.
He Geng casually picked up the command arrow on the table and gave it directly to Su Lu:
"The camp army, including myself and General Lin Tong, is at the disposal of Lord Su."
Lin Tong also lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I am willing to obey Lord Su's command and go through fire and water, no matter what."
Su Lu took the command arrow, nodded, and gave instructions.
"Li Xiaoqin, He Congzhi, immediately organize the army and prepare to leave the camp."
"Li Kun, I appoint you as the false governor. You will temporarily lead Fatty Zhao and Zheng Kai to form a few guard camps to form an army. If there are any missing soldiers, please ask the general to allocate them."
Su Lu looked at He Geng and said, taking advantage of the opportunity, he must seize part of the military power in his hands, so as not to be confused about it later.
He Geng glanced at the account and immediately said:
"General Dong Cheng, create a guard camp from the first camp under your command and deploy it to Lieutenant Li Kun's army."
Dong Cheng bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, Colonel Li Kun, please come with me."
Dong Cheng gave Su Lu a reassuring look and strode out of the Chinese army's tent.
Su Lu continued: "Instruct the Beiyang Guards to light up the lights on the city and prepare to attack out of the city. I will hold back the Beida Camp and the West Camp. I must not let the two camps separate their troops."
With a look from He Geng, the messenger quickly left.
After making some arrangements, Su Lu strode out of the camp.
He Geng and Lin Tong chased him out, "Master Su Hou, what are you going to do?"
Su Lu walked towards the camp gate and said, "Without my command, you think they can save Zhang Gu."
Lin Tong let out a long breath, put his hand on his waist knife, and followed him: "Okay, I will hold the line for Mr. Hou."
He Geng glanced at the two of them, sighed and said, "In that case, I will guard the camp and wait for the two generals to return after their victory."
A guard led the horse over. Su Lu got on the horse, urged the horse forward, and gave the order.
"Everyone is here, a mix of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers."
"Li Xiaoqin, your army has set up a spear formation and is preparing to move forward."
"He Congzhi, pull out all your sword and shield soldiers and carry them up for me. You must stop the Tule cavalry from drilling through again, otherwise military law will be imposed."
"Li Kun, set up a tortoise shell formation, and march out in front of the army. I want to see whether Thule's light cavalry is stronger, or my army's formation."
"Set off"
Su Lu slapped the horse's butt and rode out of the camp gate.
At the same time, he glanced at the arrows in front of him, secretly judged the direction of each army, and successively threw out level 2 turtle shell array cards, level 3 spear array cards, and level 2 iron barrel array cards.
It's a pity that the armies have rested for too long from night to now, and the level 3 light soldier night attack card cannot be activated, otherwise Su Lu will definitely use it.
We can only wait until we are exhausted.
"boom"
The advancing military formation collided with the Thule cavalry, as if a steel knife had stabbed an iron barrel. The cavalry's speed was immediately slowed down, and it seemed that there was no impact at all.
Su Lu gave an order: "Send the order, Li Xiaoqin's spearmen are pressing forward, hurry up, penetrate the Thule formation, and rescue General Zhang Gu."
Su Lu said this, and threw out the soldier cards in his hand for free. Zhang Gu, Zhang Gu Jun, the soldier cards chose the target of action like a card.
The messenger urged the horses, rushed forward, and roared at the top of his lungs.
Li Xiaoqin, who had added a level 3 spear formation card, started to move.
Li Xiaoqin felt uneasy. It was a bit unbelievable to face the Thule cavalry with infantry. The Marquis's mind was really funny. He actually wanted to penetrate the Thule army formation. I am an infantry. I have no idea.
…
Li Xiaoqin, who was complaining about Su Lu, felt something in his heart. He looked at his arms. Power seemed to surge out of his body and flowed to his limbs. Many movements that were just in his mind suddenly became clear.
Seeing the Thule soldiers charging straight at him in the dark night, Li Xiaoqin suddenly felt confident.
Not to mention cutting through the main formation of these Thule soldiers, but even completely defeating this group of Thule cavalry, Li Xiaoqin felt that he was capable.
The mere Thule cavalry is simply not worth mentioning.
