Cangzhou beacon fire

Chapter 16

At Yinshi, the south gate and west gate of Fengshui City slowly opened with creaking friction.

The Yue army led by Zhong Lin slowly withdrew from the south gate, while the Qianhe army was more cautious, and did not slowly enter Fengshui City until the scouts confirmed the news of the withdrawal of the Yue army at the south gate.

After traveling for about ten miles, Xia Houyin, who had been hesitant to speak, drove his horse to Zhong Lin's side and said, "General, isn't it too hasty to just give up the city to a group of Sanyuan thieves? How can I explain to the king when I go back?" ah."

Zhong Lin glanced at Xia Houyin and said, "Why don't you be unwilling to let Yicheng retreat completely? Do you want to fight to the death with those hundred thousand bandits?"

Xia Houyin continued: "But the prime minister on the right, Zhao Kong, is at odds with you, and I'm afraid he's going to tell your right and wrong in the king's ears."

"Zhao Kong has no big picture in mind, so he can say what he wants. I, Zhong Lin, have no regrets."

Li Tong also drove his horse to follow at this time. The previous injury has healed a lot, but his left hand is still wrapped in gauze, and the gun and leash are all in his right hand.

"General, the last general has always felt uneasy."

Zhong Lin looked at Li Tong and asked, "Why are you uneasy?"

Li Tong hesitated for a moment before he said: "This plan to drive away tigers and wolves is very careful, and the general thinks that there should be an expert behind the command. Otherwise, the two armies of Qi Sheng and Fan Yi would not be able to have such a tacit understanding."

Zhong Lin nodded. What Li Tong said was indeed reasonable. Such a tacit understanding must be planned by someone.

However, Li Tong hadn't expressed his uneasiness yet, Zhong Lin asked, "What do you mean by uneasiness?"

"If it's really an expert who helps Sanyuan plan, will the expert guess that we let the city and the bandits retreat to the water-siege city?"

Hearing this, Zhong Lin's pupils constricted and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked nervously at Xia Houyin and asked, "Are there any scouts ahead?"

Xia Houyin shook his head and said, "It's too hasty to go out of the city, there is no party."

"Li Tong, hurry up and change the shield soldiers to the front army, move forward on guard, and send scouts to three sides at the same time!"

I was careless, I was careless!It is impossible for the expert behind Sanyuan not to guess that he will leave the city!

However, it was too late. Just as Li Tong was commanding the exchange of shield cavalry, arrows rained in front of him like a wave. Countless Yue soldiers had already been tied into hedgehogs before they understood what was going on.

Three guards drew their knives and came in front of Zhong Lin to block the flying arrows.

"There is an ambush! Xia Houyin! Li Tong! Ring the bell and line up!" Zhong Lin bent over and roared with all his might.

After the first wave of arrows rained, there were loud screams of killing from the left and the front. In the dark night, dense figures and dust could be vaguely seen.

Qi Sheng rode his horse and watched from a distance, with a very proud expression on his face. The three-yuan cavalry behind him passed by him continuously, and rows of bow and arrow teams behind him were raising their shooting angles. The target was the rear troops of the Yue Army.

"Zhong Lin, oh Zhong Lin, Lao Yan already knew that you would abandon the city, haha. Whoever takes Zhong Lin's head will be rewarded with a hundred gold!" Qi Sheng raised his spear and shouted sharply, and the passing cavalry was even faster than before. some.

"Shield Spearmen, line up forward, and the Qingyu Cavalry will directly attack the enemy on the left, and you must block it!" Li Tong covered Zhong Lin while issuing orders on his behalf.

Feng Jin in the middle of the Yue army heard Li Tong's order and stopped the panicked Qingyu cavalry: "The enemy is in ambush! Qingyu cavalry, line up! Directly hit the enemy in the east!"

After being shouted by Feng Jin, Qingyuqi immediately calmed down a lot, then turned his horse's head and charged towards the direction where the Sanyuan troops were coming from the east.

"Three yuan dog! Go to the hut with a lantern, and seek death!"

"Old rules, those who kill less, please drink!"

"Forget it, you never beat us, haha."

"This time we must win!"

"Okay, don't die here."

"Fuck off!"

Before the frontal Yue army had time to line up, the steel wave of the Sanyuan cavalry had swarmed in, and a big gap was opened in an instant, and countless Yue army shield spearmen died tragically in panic.

Li Tong stabbed a three-yuan cavalryman, and shouted at Zhong Lin's guards: "Take the general to the rear! Quick!"

"No, the old man will never be a general who retreats!" Zhong Lin said and pulled out the sword at his waist.

Li Tong quickly flirted with the guards, who understood, snatched Zhong Lin's horse rope, and dragged Zhong Lin back.

As soon as Zhong Lin retreated, Li Tongxin let go of the big stone. He untied the gauze on his left hand and pulled the horse rope hard.

"Hold me! Start again!"

After the first wave of charge, the two armies fell into a stalemate. The [-] Qingyu cavalry in the east faced the [-] cavalry army led by Fan Yi, but they did not lose the wind.

On the frontal battlefield, under the organization of Li Tong and Xia Houyin, the shield spearmen barely formed a battle formation, resisting the new round of offensive of the Sanyuan cavalry.

"Hold it! Make up the gap!" Xia Houyin was in the shield formation, and the spear in his hand stabbed a three-yuan cavalry again.

Holding a long knife in his hand, Fan Yi chopped down a Qingyu rider under his horse, looked at the battlefield ahead, and then at Qi Sheng's side.

"The archers are useless now, you lead five thousand archers to the side of Qingyu Cavalry, hurry up!" Fan Yi said to the lieutenant beside him.

The lieutenant nodded and stepped back.

"Aren't you full? Just this little strength?" A Qingyu cavalry easily blocked the spear stab of the enemy cavalry, and joked, then returned the salute and stabbed the cavalry three feet away.

At this time, another three-yuan cavalry came from the side, pointing the spear point at the Qingyu cavalry's chest.

When Qingyuqi realized that something was wrong, it was too late to dodge, and with a puff, the three-yuan cavalry's spear had pierced his chest.

Qingyuqi let out a miserable cry, and a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth. Enduring the severe pain, he gritted his teeth, and tightly grasped the handle of the gun that had pierced his chest with his left hand. With a hint of mockery on his painful expression, he said: "I'm not full." ?"

The Sanyuan cavalry was frightened by the desperate enemy in front of them, and tried to pull back the spear, but they couldn't pull it back, only to see the Qingyu cavalry shouting: "Is this strength?!" The three-yuan cavalryman stabbed violently in the chest.

As the leader of the Qingyu Cavalry, Feng Jin was holding a gun in his right hand and a square-headed machete in his left hand. While stabbing with the gun, he did not forget to slash to the left. Several Sanyuan cavalrymen died tragically under a single charge.

"The front line splits, and the back line charges!" Feng Jin commanded while slashing.

As soon as the order came out, the Qingyu cavalry, who were fighting fiercely with the enemy in the front, suddenly turned their horses, separated from both sides, and retreated in a semicircle.

Just when the Sanyuan army thought that the Yue army was about to retreat, with a scream of killing, the Qingyu cavalry behind had accelerated and galloped.

Under the effect of speed, the Qingyu cavalry who charged from the rear instantly tore a gap in the Sanyuan army.

However, just as Feng Jin was about to organize a second wave of charge, arrows rained down from the left side of the sky. The incident happened suddenly. Although Feng Jin dodged the arrow that went straight to the door, he was hit by the shoulder and thigh.

The Qingyu cavalry beside Feng Jin also quickly raised their guns to block the arrows, but many arrows fell to the ground, and the formation was completely messed up in an instant.

"The enemy turned around to the left, and divided into a small team to destroy them!" Feng Jin pulled out the sharp arrow on his shoulder, and chopped off the two arrows on his thigh.

Cai Kang, the commander of the Second Battalion next to him, had a very painful expression on his face. He pulled out the sharp arrow in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm coming!" Then he shouted to the Qingyu Cavalry behind him: "Second Battalion, come with me!"

A group of Qingyu riders followed Cai Kang and reined in their horses.

"Everyone from the Second Battalion, don't die, please drink when I go back!" Cai Kang said sharply.

"How many times have you said this, but you haven't fulfilled it once." Several Qingyu knights beside him joked.

"Hey! It's different this time, and it must be fulfilled."

"That's what you said last time."
