National color raw owl

The fighting in the city was fierce, and the Beishan cavalry rushed forward and rushed towards the houses on both sides. Although they were obstructed for a while, many people still killed in the houses. In the dim houses, the two sides launched close Melee.

The most difficult thing is the cavalry at the city gate.

When their fighting spirit rushed to the city gate, they thought they had escaped from the ghost gate, and their fighting spirit quickly weakened. When they left the city and saw the Xiguan infantry approaching step by step, they were already terrified.

Among the Xiguan infantry, there was a man wearing armor, with a slender but extremely strong figure, sitting on a horse with a stern expression, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He held the saber in his hand, and there was even a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and it will wither after seeing the cold weather. Only by virtue of this will it stand in the wind, with a calm demeanor, that is the style of a general.

The city gate was already crowded with soldiers, completely blocking the city gate. Although cavalry rushed forward from time to time, the end was very miserable. As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, the space for the cavalry to display was completely compressed.

The general on the horse looked stern. Seeing that the number of cavalry rushing towards him decreased, he said in a deep voice, "Squat, bow and arrow, shoot!"

With an order, the shield soldiers squatted down, and the spearmen behind them bent down. The archers behind them had already bent their bows and set their arrows. Hundreds of soldiers surrounded by a fan drew their bows and shot furiously. Sharp arrows gathered in the air. , Like a knife inserted into the city gate, sharp arrows gathered together, like a heavy hammer hitting the water waves, and a sickle crossing the wheat field.

Amidst the miserable screams, the cavalry crowded at the city gate fell off their horses one after another.

"Brothers, go out and fight them!"

The Beishan cavalry saw their companions falling off their horses one after another, and the cavalry behind them were shocked and angry. There were a large number of them, and they were all cavalry, but they were massacred by a group of cavalry at the city gate. No matter what, they could not accept such a result.

The cavalry obviously knew that it would be impossible if they didn't try their best at this time. Amidst the shouts, the cavalry swung their knives to block the arrows, and hurriedly lined up, rushing towards the fan-shaped formation in a half-moon shape.

Amidst the clanging of soldiers' armor, the hissing of men and horses could be heard incessantly, and light and shadow criss-crossed in mid-air, with a murderous aura permeating the air.

Seeing that the Beishan cavalrymen were going to fight back desperately, the general in Xiguan yelled, "Come on!"

His order was concise and powerful. After the order was issued, the fan-shaped army quickly moved forward, and soon met the cavalry rushing up. The shield soldiers in front of the infantry desperately used their shields to form a wall, and the pikemen behind them showed no mercy. thrust forward.

The Xiguan army outside the city was orderly. From the beginning, they used bows and arrows to delay the opponent's actions, and then quickly approached, using shields to protect the front, and attacked the enemy's men and horses with pikemen. Shield soldiers, archers and pikemen It can be said to be an unusually tacit cooperation, and it is precisely because of this tacit cooperation that the combat effectiveness can be fully exerted.

Although under the fierce counterattack of the Beishan cavalry, some soldiers in the Xiguan army fell from time to time, but once there was a vacancy, the companions behind would make up for it in the shortest time, and still formed a stable killing formation.

Luo Dingxi didn't know the situation outside the city, all he saw was the chaotic team on the long street, and the shouts of fighting coming from the houses on both sides.

Now that the other party had already figured out the Beishan cavalry's sneak attack plan and made preparations, Luo Dingxi knew that today was bound to be a bad day.

At this moment, he has no time to think about the loopholes in the plan. For the Beishan Army, these thousands of cavalry are his trump card and the most important wealth in Luo Dingxi's hands. Of course he is not willing to give his last A little family fortune was buried in Shuoquan.

One of Luo Dingxi's greatest strengths is his knowledge of current affairs.

Because of his knowledge of current affairs, he took advantage of Chu Huan's dispatch of troops to carefully plan and carry out the surprise attack on Shuoquan. He just wanted to make great contributions to Zhu Lingyue so that he could have a place under Zhu Lingyue's command in the future.

Also because he is aware of current affairs, he knows that if he continues to spend in this city, it may really bring a certain loss to Shuoquan's defenders, but there are only a few of his cavalry who can leave Shuoquan alive.

Seeing the soldiers and horses in the rear shouting to leave the city, Luo Dingxi also knew that this was the only option at present.

The Xiguan Army knew their situation well and set up traps, but they had no idea about the deployment of the Xiguan Army. The enemy's heartland, this battle cannot be fought no matter what, let alone be fought.

Among the crowd, he brandished a knife and shouted loudly, ordering the whole army to withdraw from the city. The cavalry obeyed the general's name. In the chaos, they turned their horses around one after another, but the companions behind could not move towards the city gate. Countless cavalry Being squeezed on the Nanhe Avenue, many cavalrymen shouted even more. The soldiers trapped in the city didn't know that the city gate was blocked, and a cruel fight was going on there.

The city gate was already full of corpses. Under the close confrontation, hundreds of cavalry were slaughtered by the Xiguan infantry formation, and the smell of blood was already permeating inside and outside the city gate.

Moreover, as the Xiguan infantry array approached the city gate, the cavalry could not stand out. The narrow city gate was so crowded at this time that the cavalry had no room to spread out. The cavalry in front could only swing their sabers desperately to prevent the infantry from approaching.

All of a sudden, the sound of gongs in the city disappeared in an instant. After the sound of gongs accompanied by the sound of fighting disappeared, many soldiers were startled. Soon, they heard the sound of big drums.

This drum sound is very rhythmic, although it is very loud, but everyone can hear it, only one drum sound is thinking, and the dull drum sound "dong, dong, dong" diffuses under the night sky, and everyone's hearts seem to be Rhythm with that drum.

The infantry phalanx outside the city heard the sound of the drums, as if they had received some kind of order, they stopped advancing, the infantry formation stopped, and the Beishan cavalry under the city gate no longer broke out. , the drum sound seemed to come from the top of his head.

Naturally, Luo Dingxi also heard the sound of the drum.

As the monotonous and dull single drum sounded, the killing sound on the battlefield gradually subsided. Everyone followed the sound and looked towards the place where the drum sound came from. Soon countless eyes were cast on the top of the city.

The archers on the top of the city had already retracted their bows and stood on the edge of the battlements. In the light of the fire, everyone saw that a big drum had been erected on the top of the city at some point. At that time, an extremely burly man was swinging a drumstick, beating the big drum rhythmically, and the sound of the drum dispersed from the city.

Luo Dingxi pulled the rein of the horse, and slowly passed through the crowd towards the head of the city. The crowded cavalry consciously squeezed out a narrow road without Luo Dingxi.

On the top of the city, with the sound of drums, a large flag was slowly erected. It was not clear for a while from a distance, but the soldiers below the city had already seen that there was a big banner written on the big flag. The "Qin" character.

Everyone looked at each other.

In the Great Qin Empire, "Qin" flags could be seen everywhere at one time, but in the northwest, it seems that the "Qin" flags have not been seen for a while. At some point, the "Qin" flags in the northwest cities have quietly disappeared.

Everyone didn't know for a while whether the flag on the top of the city was the "Qin" flag that they had seen countless times, representing an empire, or just a certain person's surname.

The horse under Luo Dingxi's crotch was gradually approaching. From a certain distance, he was looking at the top of the city. The cavalry around him looked at each other in blank dismay, and some people even whispered about it.

Everyone stared at the top of the city, and the drum sounded for another ten times, and finally the sound stopped. The fighting inside and outside the city gate had stopped. When the defenders in the city stopped fighting, the Beishan cavalry quickly stopped fighting , Those soldiers who rushed into the house to fight, either died in the house, or came out of the house with their armor covered in blood and walked onto the street.

As soon as the drums stopped, the surroundings fell silent.

"Luo Dingxi, do you know your crime?" Suddenly there was an angry voice from the top of the city, and immediately, everyone saw an official in official robes walking to the edge of the battlements. Under the firelight, the official's long beard was fluttering, Not many people knew Beishan Cavalry.

Luo Dingxi reined in his horse and held his saber. His eyes were like ice, staring at the official at the top of the city, and said with a sneer, "Who are you?"

The official said loudly: "Yuezhou Zhizhou, Gongsun Chu, has been waiting for you here for a long time!"

"So you are Gongsun Chu." Luo Dingxi was in a predicament, but he still acted very calmly, "I have heard that a group of people from Xiguan who communicated with Xiliang people were sent to the execution ground to beheaded, but in the end Get your life back, and among them is you, Gongsun Chu!"

"That's right." Gongsun Chulang said: "I did almost die on the execution ground at the beginning, but since I didn't die, I should continue to serve the court!"

"Sounds good." Luo Dingxi said loudly: "Chu Huan supports his troops with self-respect, and his heart of rebellion has already been clearly revealed. Such a rebellious and unscrupulous thief can be punished by everyone. Like today, the governor of Shanzhu and General Gan of the Northwest are two Sending troops, as a minister of the imperial court, I should also contribute to the eradication of the rebels. Gongsun Chu, if you know the current affairs, you should abandon the darkness and turn to the light now!"

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Gongsun Chu laughed loudly, "Luo Dingxi, you yourself are sinister and vicious, and you want to take advantage of Chu's governor to suppress the thieves and sneak attack from behind. Such a despicable and shameless person dares to call himself a minister of the court. It is really ridiculous."

"Soldiers never tire of deceit, and the surprise attack on Shuoquan is to destroy Chu Huan's party." Luo Dingxi said sonorously and righteously: "Gongsun Chu, I have thousands of Beishan cavalry to suppress the thieves. If you can abandon the dark and turn to the bright, you can report that the whole family is fine, otherwise ...!"

"Otherwise, what?" Gongsun Chu sneered, "Luo Dingxi, because of your own selfish interests, you deceived the Beishan soldiers and made them shed blood for your ambitions. How dare you speak so boldly here? You poisoned the old lord, supported the soldiers, and did it Do you really think that you will keep hiding those shameful things?"

As soon as Gongsun Chu's words came out, they were clearly heard by the Beishan cavalrymen below the city. Many people were startled, and then many people looked at Luo Dingxi.

Luo Dingxi's expression changed slightly, but he still remained calm, and said angrily: "Gongsun Chu, you are spitting blood and talking nonsense here, do you think that you can incite the hearts of my Beishan army with just a few words? This ghostly trick deceives the three The year-old child is about the same, and it is wishful thinking to deceive me, the Beishan warrior."——
