Horse on the World

Chapter 229 Counterattack
At three o'clock, Guan Xinglong opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed, picked up his knife and walked out of the city tower. On the city wall, a large number of soldiers gathered in darkness. However, Guan Xinglong still saw faces full of too many emotions.

Guan Xinglong suddenly put the knife under his side, put his fingers in front of his lips, made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing, want to report to Boyan that I am going out of the city?"

Guan Xinglong's joking words caused a burst of extremely low laughter on the walls, and the originally solemn and solemn farewell suddenly became a little more relaxed, "Boys, I will deal with you when I come back!" He walked down the city wall abruptly.

In the city, [-] cavalrymen were drinking in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat. This was all the cavalrymen in Dingyuan City, and everyone knew that this time they were out of the city, and unless they were lucky, the possibility of returning was extremely low.The pawns on one side were busy wrapping the horse's hooves in soft cloth and tightening the bits.

Guan Xinglong didn't make any mobilization, strode up to the cavalry, stuck his knife into the ground with a bang, reached out and grabbed a hoof, biting it until his mouth was full of oil, took a few big bites, threw away the hoof, picked up a big He gulped down the bowl of wine, looked at the cavalry who was about to attack with him, and said with a smile: "Boys, you can eat more meat, but don't drink too much wine if you don't have enough wine. Be careful that you will get dizzy while riding a horse. Just throw up first!"

The cavalry laughed easily, and someone in the crowd said: "General, I have a bigger drinking capacity than you, and I can drink several catties of wine. If you want to overwhelm me with this little wine, don't even think about it. You can only do it." Let me whet my appetite!"

Guan Xing laughed long, "Bragging, I will compete with you when I come back, and if I don't give you a name, I won't let you go with the surname Guan!"

"Don't worry, general, even if I get fainted from drinking, even if I vomit, I will vomit on Manzi!" Another voice came.

The tense atmosphere slowly disappeared in the arena, replaced by a relaxed atmosphere, as if everyone went out of the city this time not for a death attack, but for a spring outing.

The fourth watch drum sounded, Guan Xinglong wiped his hand carelessly on a pawn beside him, pulled out the thick back knife on the ground, and shouted in a low voice: "Boys, let's go!"

The cavalry stood up one after another, picked up their bayonets, put on their battle knives, inserted their crossbows at their waists, and got on their horses. On both sides of the horses, one by one tied earthen pots filled with grease. Their goal was the West City. Guan Xinglong carefully observed the outside of the supply camp for the past few days, and finally discovered this flaw. The garrison there was unexpectedly deployed to the front wall one by one to attack, but they did not go back after the troops were withdrawn. Boyan went to the main camp together.

"You son of a bitch, I'll show you how powerful I am."

The fourth watch is the most tiring and most relaxing time for a person. Guan Xinglong firmly remembered the lesson that Li Qing had taught him. Going out of the city to sneak attack at this time will get twice the result with half the effort, and the barbarian would never have dreamed that a Dingyuan City, There are only a few thousand defenders in the area, and they have the courage to go out of the city to counterattack.

Boyan really didn't expect it, the generals of Zhenghuang Xianghuang Banners didn't expect it, and even the ordinary soldiers didn't expect it. In their opinion, the Dingyuan defenders are already the turtles in the Wengzhong, able to defend the city to the death It was their greatest happiness, and it was impossible to go out of the city to fight, so when Guan Xinglong's [-] cavalry quietly touched the west of the city, the entire barbarian camp was still unaware.

The guards of the supply battalion were extremely lax, and Guan Xinglong and the others' sentries should have been found sleeping soundly on the high sentry tower, and the wide front several kilometers long also provided the greatest convenience for Guan Xinglong's concealed attack.

"It's really God helping me!" Even Guan Xinglong himself did not expect it to be so smooth.When he was a hundred steps away from the barracks' camp, Guan Xinglong led the cavalry to speed up. Although the sound of the horses' hooves wrapped in soft cloth was soft, the five hundred horses ran with all their strength, and the vibration still alarmed the barbarians. When the barbarians on the sentry tower saw the Dingzhou cavalry rushing up, they were speechless for the first time.

"Break the camp!" Guan Xinglong shouted in a deep voice.

A few heavy armored knights smashed their horses and slammed into the fence of the camp with all their strength. There was a loud bang, the horse fell over and the fence was smashed. Guan Xinglong leaped in without hesitation, waving like a meteor hammer in his hand. The cavalry behind him did the same, throwing out the earthen pots on horseback one after another, and then picked up the torches in the camp with their stabbing guns, and threw them at those four There was a bang, and the tents were on fire immediately.

Outside the camp, several heavy armored knights who had just broken the camp got up dizzy, turned around, and ran towards Dingyuan City in heavy armor. Their mission had been completed, and their current mission was to go back alive.

Guan Xinglong shouted happily, brandishing a broadsword with one arm, galloping back and forth in the burning camp, smashing through tents, cutting down disheveled soldiers, and setting fire to a large amount of luggage.Five hundred cavalry followed closely behind him, like a long dragon, trampling wantonly in the barbarian camp.

When the flames in the baggage camp lit up half of the sky, Boyan was furiously looking at the fire in the direction of the main camp, and the soldiers of the baggage camp finally reacted and began to resist in an organized manner.

"Damn it, the reaction is quite fast!" Guan Xinglong cursed: "Brothers, retreat and charge back with me!"

With a whistle, Guan Xinglong turned his horse's head and rushed out of the camp.

Boyan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping down, General Suhan said cautiously: "Banner Master, I will immediately lead the troops to rescue the supply camp!"

Boyan resentfully said: "What else are you going to do? The supply camp is almost burned, bring your troops and stop those bastards who want to go back to the city for me, I will skin them! "

"Yes, Banner Master!" Suhan hurriedly turned and left.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and it was already dawn. The soldiers on the city saw their cavalry galloping, and they couldn't help shouting loudly. In the distance, the fire from the supply camp still illuminated half of the sky.

But immediately, the soldiers closed their mouths and held their breath. A Biao cavalry quickly caught up. Obviously, the horsepower of the Dingzhou cavalry, which had been fighting for nearly an hour, was far inferior to that of the opponent, and the distance was getting closer and closer. According to this Speed, the Dingzhou cavalry obviously had no time to return to the city.

Wang Peng rubbed his hands and stamped his feet anxiously, walking up and down the city, chanting, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Guan Xinglong obviously also noticed this problem, and ordered loudly while galloping, "The front team returns to the city quickly, and the rear team follows me to stop the enemy!"

A school lieutenant shouted: "The general goes first, I will stop the enemy!"

Guan Xinglong said angrily: "Damn it, do you have as much kung fu as me? I can still kill you. You will die when you go back. Get lost. Do you want to disobey the military order?"

The lieutenant paused, "Take care, general!" Holding the horse's belly, he led the front team to the city, while Guan Xinglong led the rear team to circle around and kill the barbarians who were chasing from the slant.

Su Han keenly noticed this, made a decisive decision, and immediately divided his troops. One cavalry went to meet Guan Xinglong, and the other cavalry went straight to Dingyuan City. He wanted to take this opportunity to seize the city gate.

Guan Xinglong gritted his teeth and rushed into the barbarians, damn it, bad luck, that son of a bitch Boyan, instead of going to fight the fire, sent someone to block Lao Tzu's way, it seems that he really came back today.

Slashing left and right with a knife, he slowly approached Dingyuan City while slashing.

The lieutenant of the Dingzhou cavalry saw a gap opened in the city gate, which was still slowly widening. If they enter the city by themselves, these barbarians are likely to rush into the city immediately.Glancing at the city, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, the barbarians want to seize the city gate, so let's not go back, let's go back!"

"Kill back!" Nearly two hundred cavalry roared in unison.

"Close the city gate!" The captain yelled at the top of the city, and led two hundred cavalry back, and the barbarian cavalry behind them obviously didn't expect these cavalry to give up the only way of life to flee back to the city, and turned back After killing them, they were killed by Dingzhou soldiers who were much smaller in number than them. They rushed back and joined forces with Guan Xinglong.

"Damn it, who told you to come back?" Guan Xinglong looked at the captain and said angrily.

"General, the barbarians are following closely. If the last general enters the city, those barbarians will probably follow him. The last general can't take risks, and is willing to live and die with the general."

"Good job!" Guan Xinglong laughed loudly, "I don't have any cowards in Dingzhou, follow me to the city, let the archers in the city give these barbarians a good look!"

The two rushed forward side by side, and slowly approached the city.

"Archers, archers!" Wang Peng yelled in the city, watching a group of archers with first-grade bows rushing up, Wang Peng shouted: "Block the shooting, stop the shooting!"

"Baoxu crossbow, trebuchet, partition, partition!" Wang Peng yelled frantically, watching the Baoxu crossbow and trebuchet start to fire, and then circled around the city a few times, Shangguang suddenly caught sight of the long tree that was tied to the lei wood. The rope suddenly lit up in front of his eyes, and he untied the rope in twos and twos. The soldiers next to him saw Wang Peng's action, suddenly realized, and started to untie the long rope.

The strong support in the city greatly relieved the pressure on Guan Xinglong, and he began to get closer and closer to the city wall.Some soldiers had already reached the city wall. At this time, long ropes were thrown from the city. Some soldiers reached out to grab the rope, jumped up from their horses, alternated their hands, and climbed up the city wall with their feet. The soldiers on the city also struggled. pulling.

"General Guan, General Guan!" Wang Peng shouted hoarsely, waving the rope in his hand.

Guan Xinglong finally reached the base of the city together with the lieutenant, Wang Peng and another soldier threw down the rope at the same time, Guan Xinglong bit the thick back knife in his mouth, grabbed the rope with one hand, and jumped up.

Suhan's eyes were filled with anger, even a cooked duck could fly away, so he rode his horse forward, nocked his arrow, and aimed at Guan Xinglong who was going up rapidly.

Beng Beng Beng fired arrows, and Wang Peng on the city was shocked. Three black shadows formed a straight line and went straight to Guan Xinglong who was hanging in the air. "General!" he shouted.

At this moment, the captain who was hanging in the air like Guan Xinglong also saw the long arrow shot at Guan Xinglong. Let go of your hands, open your arms, and come down, just in front of Guan Xinglong, with three chi chi chi, the three feathered arrows were all nailed to his body.Exhaling heavily, the captain fell like a stone.

"Brother!" Guan Xinglong yelled, twisted his waist in mid-air, put the rope around his feet, freed his hands to pick up the thick back knife, and was pulled upwards by Wang Peng and several soldiers.Suhan's continuous arrows came again, Guan Xinglong danced the thick-backed saber like a windmill, and finally an arrow broke through the defense, pierced into Guan Xinglong's thigh with a squeak, Guan Xinglong gasped in pain, just At this moment, several pairs of powerful hands grabbed Guan Xinglong and pulled him into the city wall.

Guan Xinglong, who was facing up to the sky, lay down on the icy ground and looked up at the sky. At this moment, the first ray of sunlight came through the sky and shone on the big banner of the Dingzhou Army on the tower, shining golden light. Above, thousands of soldiers cheered thunderously.
