However, just when the people of Lingdu City on the city tower were hesitating to persuade Zhou Xingyun not to open the city gate, the sound of horse hooves came from the streets in the city...
Many people on the city wall turned around and looked back, only to see a group of thousands of people riding fast. When the city gate was opened, it was like a tiger coming out of the gate, non-stop and high speed, killing the 5,000 Northern City guards who were moving.
.
The five thousand Northern City guards were originally arranged in a square formation in front of the city gate. If the cavalry rushed into the formation rashly, they would surely suffer heavy losses.
However, at this moment, the five thousand Northern City guards at the front turned back to intercept the fleeing people of Lingdu City. Their neat formation was already in disarray when they set off to run to pursue the more than ten thousand people of Lingdu City.
Zhou Xingyun stood on the city tower and watched. Five thousand Northern City guards turned around to intercept the fleeing people of Lingdu City. The formation had stretched into a snake shape. In front of the cavalry, this was undoubtedly fish on the chopping board and could only be left to their own devices.
Slaughter.
The people of Lingdu City, who had fled back from the Qingtian Bear Camp, were so frightened that they turned blue when they saw the 5,000 Northern City guards chasing and intercepting them from the front. They didn't know what to do.
However, the people of Lingdu City who were running at the front saw hundreds of Northern City guards being the first to bear the brunt, blocking everyone aggressively, and when they were about to be stopped...
The gates of Lingdu City were opened, and thousands of royal cavalry charged at full speed, heading straight towards them.
The hundreds of Northern City guards who were the first to bear the brunt thought they could make a military exploit and were the first to intercept the people of Lingdu City who were fleeing back to the city. Unexpectedly, when the two sides were fifty meters apart, the royal cavalry appeared.
Seeing the brave cavalry coming from nowhere, the hundreds of city guards who bore the brunt were instantly scared to death.
The mission of the cavalry was mainly to cover the retreat of the people of Lingdu City, so they rushed into the formation with thousands of cavalry and immediately dispersed hundreds of Northern City guards who were approaching the people of Lingdu City.
"Good! Great job!"
"It can be saved! They can be saved!"
The people of Lingdu City on the city wall were overjoyed. They watched the show from a high position, and saw more than a thousand brave cavalry, like a river, violently cutting off the Northern City guards who were blocking the people on the other side.
Next, the cavalry moved in a clockwise circle, turned around in the open space outside the field, turned around and charged again. Overall, it looked like a wave of directional flow, charging in circles around the 5,000 Northern City guards.
"As expected of the royal family's cavalry, they are indeed well-trained." Zhou Xingyun said with a smile full of praise. The cavalry charge should not be messed up. Discipline, consistency, and coordination are all crucial.
When the cavalry rushes into formation, they must maintain consistency at all times. If someone does not obey the command, there is a problem with coordination, and one person rushes to the left and the other rushes to the right, it will cause a series of accidents.
Just like on a highway, if a car suddenly cuts off or goes the wrong way, the following cars will be in danger.
Nowadays, thousands of brave cavalry outside the city gate are rushing back and forth like flowing water. No one is greedy for swords and no one is eager to fight. The group of cavalry gallops past without giving the five thousand enemy soldiers a chance.
"Why did they leave the city!"
"Why do they still have cavalry!"
"Our intelligence is wrong! The royal family's strength must be more than three thousand!"
The five thousand city guards at the front were completely confused, like headless flies, they were suddenly surprised.
Thousands of cavalrymen suddenly appeared and rushed towards them, making them dizzy.
Obviously, the five thousand Northern City guards on the front line never dreamed that when the royal family attacked the Qingtian Bear base camp at night and rescued more than ten thousand people in Lingdu City, there were still a thousand cavalry left to rush into the formation. So standing on the city wall
What is going on with the thousands of guards...
The news that the gates of Lingdu City were wide open soon reached the ears of Qingtian Xiong from the front line.
Qingtian Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why do you say that?
From Qingtian Xiong's point of view, the gates of Lingdu City were opened wide, and it was probably Han Feng's order, because Han Feng was a compassionate guy, and he would never leave the tens of thousands of people in Lingdu City open to death.
Tonight, the royal guards carried out a reckless night attack to rescue the people of Lingdu City who were trapped in the left-wing camp. It is probably because Han Feng did not want to see the people of Lingdu City in distress, so he felt kindhearted and wanted to save people.
How did more than a thousand imperial city guards sneak out of the city? The staff around Qingtian Xiong had roughly guessed that they probably took advantage of their negligence and used the rope ladder on the city wall to sneak out of the city.
They did not pay attention to this detail because no one expected that the royal family, which had only three thousand troops and was not guarding the city honestly, would dare to go out of the city to attack them.
Fortunately, the thousands of royal guards who went out to rescue the people of Lingdu City will not be able to withdraw into the city in a short time. There are only two thousand soldiers and horses that the royal family can mobilize...
However, at this time, in order to allow the fleeing people of Lingdu City to enter the city smoothly, the royal family actually opened the city gate and sent a thousand cavalry to restrain the 5,000 city guards outside the city gate.
In other words, there are currently only a thousand royal guards and martial arts alliance and other warriors stationed on the walls of Lingdu City.
With the city gate open and more than ten thousand people from Lingdu City pouring into Lingdu City, if Qingtian Xiong attacked the city with all his strength and let the evil masters restrain the martial arts alliance members, twenty thousand city guards attacked the city and suppressed more than a thousand city guards.
The capital city is within reach.
Once he is allowed to recapture Lingdu City and Han Qiumiao and Han Feng fall into his hands, he will be able to survive the desperate situation and turn around in the face of adversity!
"Send the order! The gates of Lingdu City have been opened. The soldiers of each battalion, while maintaining the battle formation, rush to the front line as quickly as possible and attack the city with all their strength!"
Qingtian Xiong gave the order without hesitation. The opportunity must not be lost and it will not come back. Now the effect of the influx of tens of thousands of people from Lingdu City into Lingdu City is similar to the effect of using them as cannon fodder. It has successfully caused great trouble to the royal guards.
.
"There is movement in the base camp of the Northern City Guards! They are moving towards us!"
"Are they going to attack the city?"
"The city gate has been opened, and the Northern City guards must seize the opportunity to attack the city!"
"Oh my God! Is it dangerous for us on the tower?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? When someone attacks the city, it's not dangerous for us to stand on the tower!"
The tens of thousands of Lingdu City people who were on the city tower began to panic. Everyone could faintly see that there was movement in Qingtian Xiong's large army, and they were quickly reorganizing their troops and approaching the Lingdu City people.
However, just when they were anxious, Zhou Xingyun's long-lost voice sounded again: "Dear fellow villagers and elders of Lingdu City, I have ordered the city gate to be opened. Are you still determined to join your Lord Qing?
"This... Sir, look at what you said..."
For a time, on the city wall
Tens of thousands of people were stunned. Although they didn't know what Qingtian Xiong did to the people who left the city, everyone stood on the city wall and looked at the residents of Lingdu City after leaving the city. They risked their lives to escape back to Lingdu City.
.
What happened to them after they defected to Qingtian Bear is self-evident...
"The city gate has been opened. Dear fellow citizens of Lingdu City, if you don't leave the city now, once Qingtian Bear attacks, you will all die." Zhou Xingyun stood on the city tower calmly and looked around at the tens of thousands of Lingdu City people on the city wall.
said.
"If we leave the city now, we will be in a dead end..." Anyone with any sense knows that if we leave the city now, we will definitely suffer disaster.
"That's right! After the people escape back to the city, sir, hurry up and close the city gate! We must not let Qingtian Bear occupy the city."
"That's right! As long as you can defend Lingdu City, we will have a way to survive."
At this moment, the people of Lingdu City on the city tower finally woke up and stopped clamoring to leave the city. Because a few people who ran fast had successfully escaped back to the gate of Lingdu City...
The people who fled back saw the people on the city wall clearly and immediately shouted loudly...
"Qingtian Xiong is a liar! His purpose of tricking us into leaving the city is to use us as cannon fodder to attack the city!"
"Everyone who was dissatisfied with him was killed by the guards! Hundreds of corpses are still lying in their camp!"
"Everyone, don't leave the city! Qingtian Xiong is a guy with a human face and a heart of a beast! My husband just wanted to stay away from the battlefield, but he broke his neck!"
Hearing the heart-breaking shouts of the people who fled back to the city, the people of Lingdu City on the city towers already understood the fate of those who defected to Qing Tianxiong.
"Sir, you must defend Lingdu City! We cannot fall into the hands of Qingtian Bear again!" A disheveled woman who had just escaped from the city shouted to Zhou Xingyun on the tower with tears in her eyes.
Everyone saw her miserable appearance and the bloody claw marks on her body, and they could all guess how she was treated after she defected to Qingtian Bear.
"Sorry, we are no longer able to defend Lingdu City." Zhou Xingyun looked sad and shrugged helplessly.
"Why! Don't the royal guards have the upper hand?" the people of Lingdu City on the city wall asked hurriedly. Regarding the battle situation outside the city wall, a thousand cavalrymen successfully restrained 5,000 Northern City guards and covered the escape of more than 10,000 Lingdu City people.
"That's because Qingtian Bear's army hasn't started to attack the city yet!" Zhou Xingyun looked around at the people and said bluntly: "Your Majesty and Princess, I learned that the people who left the city were all enslaved by Qingtian Bear, so I have to take them down no matter what.
Innocent people were rescued. Now... everyone has seen that the royal guards who were supposed to be stationed at the city gate have been sent out to fight and rescue people, so we are no longer able to garrison the city wall. Once Qingtian Xiong's 30,000 Northern City guards attack the city, we
I guess I can last until dawn."
"No! No! We can't let Qingtian Bear invade Lingdu City! He will definitely not let us go after he enters the city!" A man who fled back to Lingdu City said in a panic.
"No! I don't want to see Qingtian Bear again! Sir, you must hold on! Save us!" Another Lingdu City citizen who had escaped returned stood under the city gate and shouted.
"Actually... it is not impossible for us to defend Lingdu City." Zhou Xingyun showed a confident smile: "Lingdu City is your home. If you don't want Qingtian Bear to do whatever he wants, go to the city wall and help us. Beijing City
There are only 30,000 guards, but there are hundreds of thousands of residents in Lingdu City. If we all work together, what can we fear from the mere guards of Northern City?"
