After the world collapsed

Chapter 153
The Silver Dragon Army is still a few miles south of the city at this time, but the news of the opening of the south gate of Wancheng has been leaked to the enemy army by spies hidden in the city.

The South Wind Army immediately dispatched cavalry to stop it, and it would not be so easy for the Silver Dragon Army to enter the city again.

Originally, I thought that one army would fight against one family. Once the reinforcements were stopped outside the city, they would be attacked first. At that time, the Wancheng defenders would have to send troops to help. Once the troops dispersed, it would be hard to say. .

Given the numerical superiority of the Nanfeng Army, it would be difficult for the Mojia Army and the Silver Dragon Army to form an effective formation even if they attacked from both sides.

The Silver Dragon Army had less than 1 people, and the cavalry on the two wings of the Nanfeng Army had just sent nearly [-]. When the Nanfeng Army opened up behind them, a hundred thousand troops surrounded Wancheng.

At that time, the Silver Dragon Army can't come in, they can't get out, and it will become a battle of trapped beasts.

Cui Guang was sitting on the horse, Wancheng was in front of him, but he could see countless cavalry coming out from both sides, and he saw that the flag was the army of the Great Southern Kingdom.

He immediately ordered all the light cavalry to dispatch, followed by the heavy cavalry, and led his troops straight to the enemy.

The iron cavalry of the South Wind Army blocked the outside of the moat, and the south gate, which was originally wide open, was closed in time at this time, so these cavalry did not take the risk of attacking the city gate, but chose to turn around and intercept the silver dragon army who came for support.

Seeing that they were all normal cavalry and no strange-looking cultivators appeared, Cui Guang was relieved. After fighting the cultivators, he realized how easy it is to meet ordinary troops on the battlefield.

The Silver Dragon Army didn't even blow the horn to charge, but all the cavalry were as brave and fast as arrows from the string. The two armies had just met, and the South Wind Army didn't expect that the other side didn't talk nonsense and rushed up to start the battle.

Cui Guang didn't want to miss this opportunity. If he really had to wait until the immortal cultivators in the opponent's formation made a move, it would be too late. Let's kill as many as he can now.

Three thousand light cavalry rushed like thunder, and the silver dragon spear broke through the formation.

Since the Nanfeng Army has just formed a siege of Wancheng, and has not had time to make adjustments to their formation, they can only be forced to form a long snake formation to fight against the aggressive Silver Dragon Army that suddenly came from behind. defense.

Moreover, the cavalry of the two sides confronted each other, depending on the speed. The speed of the Nanfeng Army had not yet been raised, and Cui Guang had already rode his horse to the front of the formation.

At this time, the weapon in his hand had already been replaced with a brand new long spear, similar in style to the original one, with a cold tip flickering, and with a sharp jerk, he overturned the heavy cavalry facing him at the front of the South Wind Army. dismount.

Compared with light cavalry, heavy cavalry has no advantage at all. Heavy cavalry is more used to deal with infantry and other formations, because the defense and speed are far superior to infantry, and even the long-range attacks of archers are ineffective against them, because Heavy horses are also equipped with corresponding armor, so they are not afraid of arrow attacks at all.

But compared with light cavalry, both sides use sharp spears or spears and other weapons, no matter how thick your armor is, you will still be overturned, so the defense that heavy cavalry is proud of has no advantage , coupled with the fact that the speed is far less than that of Qingqi, the flexibility is simply far behind.

It may be because of the siege all the way, the number of light cavalry in the south wind army is very small, maybe only a few hundred, because the light cavalry has almost no role in the siege battle, and they may not have thought that one day they would fight against the silver dragon. The army formed a counterattack on the plain outside the city.

At this time, Cui Guang also understood why the military adviser ordered a large number of Qingqi to be deployed in the army before leaving, because they were going to enter Wancheng as reinforcements to help defend the city together, and Qingqi had no use. Perhaps because of the fast marching speed, the military division arranged this way.

Only now did he realize that it turned out that the military division had already arrived and there would be such a battle.

The three thousand light cavalry pierced into the center of the Nanfeng iron cavalry like a sharp knife, and Cui Guang was not afraid that he would be surrounded by people if he went straight to Huanglong like this, because they were followed by two thousand heavy cavalry, and behind them were led by military advisors Five thousand infantry.

The Long Snake Formation of the South Wind Army was immediately cut through, and many light cavalry had even rushed through the blockade and reached the moat bridge, but they saw the closed south gate and a large number of defenders on it , turned their horses' heads one after another, and rushed back again.

Cui Guang didn't care about the injuries left after being attacked by the cultivators, and the thick bandages on his arms didn't prevent him from charging forward.

The defenders on the top of the south gate looked dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the silver dragon army who came to support them was so brave, and they rushed the surrounded Nanfeng iron cavalry to the north.

"Hurry up and report to the general!" A centurion at the top of the city shouted, if he opened the city gate and took the initiative to attack in this situation, the siege of the Nanfeng Iron Cavalry could be lifted in one fell swoop.

"No need, open the city gate, I will take people there myself."

The centurion looked back and saw a soldier in black armor taking off his helmet. He was a young man in his early twenties.

"Major General, do you have a token?"

When the major general raised his hand, he was holding a tiger talisman in his palm.

It is worth mentioning that there is not only the Mojia army in Wancheng, the Mojia army is the main force secretly cultivated by Lu Donglin, Wancheng also has the original garrison army, and only Lu Donglin and the holding This Tiger Talisman.

The Tiger Talisman had been with Lu Donglin before, but it was unexpectedly handed over to the young general this time.

This young man is none other than Lu Donglin's only son, Lu Zhenbei.

From the name he chose for his son, we can see Lu Donglin's determination to guard the border.

As a commander-in-chief of the Mexican Armored Army, Lu Zhenbei naturally won the hearts of the army. In this battle, Lu Donglin specially arranged for him to guard the south gate, so that no mistakes could be tolerated.

Now that the major general had spoken, and that he was holding the Tiger Talisman legitimately, the centurion in charge of the city gate immediately ordered someone to open the south gate.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenbei took back his helmet again, walked down from the top of the city, got on his horse, and rushed out of Wancheng with a group of armored soldiers.

Most of the Mexican Armored Army were also heavy cavalry. After Lu Zhenbei led the team across the moat bridge, he did not talk nonsense, and cooperated tacitly with Cui Guang to pursue those Nanfeng cavalry that were slowly retreating.

At this time, it can also be seen that the combat quality of the Nanfeng Iron Cavalry is not low. Facing the Ssangyong of the Silver Dragon Army and the Black Armor Army going out to sea, instead of chaotically, they only retreated in an orderly and steady manner, and gradually moved towards the south of the city, which was surrounded by the north of the city. The wind army is approaching.

Cui Guang's silver dragon helmet was immediately conspicuous in the formation, Lu Zhenbei hurriedly rode his horse to catch up and shouted: "General Cui, we can't chase anymore, the Nanfeng army is approaching!"

General Yinlong was chasing after him, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind, but the battlefield was too noisy, and they were all cavalry fighting, and the sound of horseshoes was endless, so he couldn't hear the other party's follow-up words clearly for a while.

He thought it was the leader of the Black Armored Army cheering him on. This made Cui Guang, who had been frustrated by the Immortal Cultivator and was looking for Nanfeng Cavalry to relieve his anger, even more excited, and the spear in his hand danced even more fiercely.

He was rushing to fight in the formation, and the silver dragon army's strategist in the rear could see clearly that the large troops of the south wind army were approaching there, and if the light cavalry army entered the range of the archers, it would be very difficult. Wonderful.

There are also those crossbow carts, which are weapons that even heavy cavalry have to shy away from.

Immediately, he signaled the messenger next to him to blow the horn for retreat. He didn't blow the horn for charge at the beginning because he had already explained it in advance, just to give the enemy a sense of surprise, but when to retreat tactically cannot be done in advance I know, so I notified the former army through the horn.

Seeing that Cui Guang didn't retreat, Lu Zhenbei couldn't turn around alone, so he had to follow along and kill him. At this time, he heard the sound of horns from the Silver Dragon Army, and Cui Guang finally stopped his pursuit. This made Lu Zhenbei breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the actions of the South Wind Army were obviously faster. Their main force did not choose to forcefully attack the North City Gate, but sneaked around at some point, looking at the posture that they wanted to eat their cavalry.

Cui Guang chased too hard before, causing the cavalry to be a little out of touch with the main force.

When he raised his head, he saw that the rows of ballistas had already aimed at their side, and in front of the ballista formation were the Nanfeng iron cavalry he had chased after.

Following his gaze, Lu Zhenbei's secret path was not good. It turned out that the Nanfeng Army had planned it long ago. The raid on the Nancheng Gate and the encirclement of Wancheng were all tactics. They were trying to lure you into the urn.

However, although this range is within the range of the ballista, it is still a bit reluctant, and it is not in a deadlock.

Cui Guang immediately galloped back, and at the same time dozens of crossbow carts that had already been lined up by the Nanfeng Army were also fired.

The large troop of the Silver Dragon Army also immediately supported them, and set up a long army formation outside the south gate, with all bows and crossbows, covering and supporting Cui Guang and others who were retreating rapidly.

Fortunately, due to the distance, Cui Guang and the Mojia Army had almost no losses, and the Nanfeng Army's iron cavalry also needed to be repaired and did not take the opportunity to catch up.

Cui Guang and others also returned to the Silver Dragon Army formation from the two wings.

For a time, the Silver Dragon Army, less than [-] in number, spread across the southwest of Wancheng City, and beside the army was the South Bridge of the moat.

On the opposite side of them, that is, on the plain to the west of Wancheng, nearly half of the Nanfeng Army gathered, five times as many as the Silver Dragon Army.

The two armies were facing each other by the moat, and the Silver Dragon Army was not in a hurry to enter the city, because the moat bridge was so wide, and if [-] soldiers entered the city, the Nanfeng Army that followed would have no way to defend it once they attacked.

That's why there's such a confrontation now.

Although the Great Jin side had the upper hand in the first round of the confrontation between the two armies, and there were almost all the corpses of Nanfeng Cavalry in the middle of the formation of the two armies, but the loss of this little force was nothing to the Great Southern Kingdom with a [-] army.

If the Silver Dragon Army hadn't blown the horn to retreat in time, Cui Guang and the others might have been trapped in a tight siege at this time, then the battle might have been one-sided.

Cui Guang was a little scared for a while, Chen Daofan and those cultivators had too much influence on him, making him lose his original calmness, fortunately there was a military advisor.

After he returned to the army, he immediately asked the soldiers of the Mexican Armored Army who came back together to repair, and took Lu Zhenbei to the military division to make amends.

After seeing the military adviser, Lu Zhenbei was surprised to see that the invincible General Yinlong actually took a step forward and knelt down alone, and took the initiative to plead guilty to the military adviser in the tent.

The military adviser with his back to the two of them was dressed in cloth clothes and cloth shoes. He didn't look like a soldier in front of the battle at all. He looked more like a fortune teller invited from somewhere.

Turning his head, his temples were gray, this military adviser did not look young, holding a cattail fan, with a calm expression, he seemed to recognize him at a glance when he saw the major general in black armor.

He ignored his own general who was kneeling on one knee, but turned to the other side first and said, "I've heard about the name of the young general for a long time, but when I saw him today, he really is a tiger father without a dog!"
