Chapter 173 Lucky Li Guang (rain

At the foot of Lingcheng City, around the fourth watch, Hua Mulan led her cavalry to arrive. On the way, they attacked enemy villages at night, but no news was leaked.

The only thing stopping Hua Mulan is the city wall.

The dismounted cavalry dug a ridge into the ground, and everything went on quietly.

Hua Mulan hung two Tang knives on her waist to prevent one of them from curling.

As long as the mounds of soil are piled high enough, she can lead a group of soldiers to climb the city wall and seize the city gate.

"It's so cold. People are still fighting in such horrible weather."

"Fortunately, we are only responsible for defending the city and don't have to go to the river to fight, otherwise it will be even harder."

The defenders on the city wall gathered around the brazier to warm themselves over the fire.

Wu Sangui led the main force to leave Lingcheng, leaving only a small number of defenders in the city.

Wu Sangui thought that by holding back the opponent's main force, he wouldn't have to worry about Chutian's surprise attack. He never expected that in such a harsh environment, someone would dare to attack his rear stronghold directly by running sixty kilometers day and night!

Dozens of arrows were shot out in the darkness, and the defenders gathered around the brazier were hit and killed by the arrows.

The other defenders immediately drew their swords and were killed by Huamu's Iron Eagle scouts.

Except for the city wall defenders who gathered near the brazier and the city gate defenders who were sleeping soundly, they were all killed.

Hua Mulan dragged the Tang sword stained with blood out and ordered the soldiers to open the gate of Lingcheng.

The sound of horse hooves breaks the tranquility of the night and rushes into the city!

Starting during the day, they traveled 60 kilometers all the way, and arrived at Lingcheng at the fourth watch of the night, just for this moment!

The defenders in the city were awakened, but it was too late. They were greeted by the sabers of the cavalry!

The heads rolled down, the cavalry drove straight into Lingcheng, and Lingcheng with tens of thousands of people was controlled by Hua Mulan!

On the other side, Li Guang's cavalry was completely lost in the dark night and heavy snow, and Li Guang finally realized that he might have gone the wrong way.

It's too late to look back at this point.

The road back was covered with heavy snow, so Li Guang had no choice but to march northward.

From the fourth watch to the fifth watch, Li Guang has been wandering around.

"General, we seem to be back to where we were. The villain lost a dagger, but unexpectedly found it again."

A cavalryman reported to Li Guang.

"..."

Seeing that the surroundings were dark and the heavy snow continued, Li Guang really didn't know what to do, so he simply gave up and continued to march: "The whole army camped and rested. Wait until dawn and try to rendezvous with the front army."

Li Guang's cavalry numbered about 700. As a partial division and reinforcement, knowing that he was out of the team at this time and being able to survive was his greatest contribution to this battle.

Li Guang was depressed to no avail, so he had to recharge his batteries. Otherwise, the whole army would freeze to death due to the cold night, and Li Guang would not be able to explain to Chu Tian.

It's okay to get lost, but if you get lost and the whole army is wiped out, you are very unlucky.

After resting for about three or four hours, the sky turned slightly white. Li Guang urged the cavalry to get up and join Hua Mulan as soon as possible.

If Hua Mulan hasn't conquered Lingcheng yet, he can at least take over.

The horse archers of the Western Han Dynasty asked: "General, where should we go?"

Li Guang looked around. Because the sky was turning white, Li Guang could already clearly see that the nearby terrain was covered with snow and was so chilling.

"Where are we?"

Because Li Guang took the wrong path and was marching at night, he lost his reference and was unable to judge his position.

You can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor.

In order to avoid affecting the morale of the army, Li Guang said confidently: "Follow me!"

Langya State Prime Minister Xiao Jian led more than 10,000 soldiers to station in a village.

Yesterday's snowstorm seriously affected his marching speed, so he had to station himself in a nearby village to temporarily avoid the snowstorm and wait until the snow stopped before marching again.

"Assemble the entire army."

Xiao Jian personally took command and led more than 10,000 Ju County soldiers to leave the village.

When the Juxian soldiers reached the halfway point, heavy snow started to fall again.

"What the hell kind of weather is this!"

Li Guang finally had a hard time distinguishing north from south and took a road that he thought led to Lingcheng. However, it started snowing again and soon he could no longer distinguish between east and west.

He thought he was marching northeast, but in fact he was marching northwest.

A Western Han Dynasty archer galloped back and reported: "General, a large number of footprints were found in the snow ahead, which is not completely covered by the snow!"

After hearing this, Li Guang quickly understood that an army consisting mainly of infantry and archers had just passed by!

There were only two troops on the other side of the Yi River, namely him and Hua Mulan, all of whom were cavalry. If the traces of the march were dominated by the footprints of soldiers, it was likely that they were enemy troops.

"Follow immediately!"

Li Guang only has 700 cavalry on his side. Although he has the disadvantage of having fewer people, it also means that he has greater mobility and can quickly gather troops and launch surprise attacks.

The cavalry always takes the initiative on the battlefield.

Not only the general Li Guang felt depressed, but the cavalry under his command also felt depressed. Now they finally found the enemy, swept away the haze, and pursued them with all their strength.

Xiacheng implements a military merit system, and generals and soldiers who have achieved military merit can receive better treatment. Therefore, everyone from generals to soldiers are eager for military merit.

They had lost the military merit of capturing Lingcheng and had no choice but to find another way.

Xiao Jian's more than 10,000 Juxian soldiers formed a long queue and marched westward.

Suddenly, the soldiers walking behind the team heard a chilling sound.

"Horse hooves?"

"Are they our cavalry?"

The soldiers at the rear have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

They did not think that the enemy's cavalry had reached the rear and Wu Sangui was still confronting Chu Tian.

In the wind and snow, tall horses appeared. These horses were very powerful, and the cavalry on horseback raised their sharp sabers!

Bows and arrows were affected by the snowy weather. Li Guang's light cavalry directly drew their Huanshou swords to engage in close combat, broke into the opponent's rear, and slashed all the way!

A Juxian soldier had no time to dodge, and Li Guang took the lead and chopped him down!

The fifth-level Western Han Dynasty archers are equally powerful in melee combat. If the opponent's infantry is unprepared, they will be defeated in one battle!

A cry of death came from behind.

"Check immediately to see what happened!"

Xiao Jian was located in the central army. Due to the elongated shape of the army, it took time to transmit messages from the central army to the rear army.

"My lord, the rear army was attacked by the enemy's cavalry!"

"cavalry?!"

The soldiers around Xiao Jian turned pale when they heard that they were being targeted by the cavalry.

"Why are there cavalry behind us?"

"Master Prime Minister, please leave this place immediately under the protection of this villain!"

"No, as a general, how can I escape from the battlefield? Come with me and kill the thieves!"

Xiao Jian drew his sword and planned to lead his own soldiers to resist.

The soldiers around Xiao Jian were hesitant, but still followed.

Li Guang's cavalry took the fifth-level Western Han Dynasty cavalry as the vanguard, killing soldiers along the way.

In fact, not many soldiers were actually killed by Li Guang and others. Most of the soldiers saw that the situation was not good and fled to the surrounding fields and mountains.

When Xiao Jian arrived with his own soldiers, he was unable to contain the collapsing rear army.

Fleeing soldiers block the road.

"Kill them! To stabilize the morale of the army!"

Xiao Jian asked his soldiers to execute the two deserters, and the morale of the army was slightly stabilized.

However, the stability of the army's morale was only temporary, and soon Li Guang and his cavalry were in front of them.

Li Guang drove the broken troops to attack Xiao Jian and other undefeated troops, and then he attacked and killed them in the rear.

Some of Xiao Jian's troops that had finally stabilized were overwhelmed by the disintegrating soldiers from behind, and Li Guang drove straight in!

Li Guang, who was lost, became angry and showed off his power!

He knew that if he could defeat the army in front of him, then at least his merits and demerits would be equalized, and he would not be punished by Chu Tian.

"Master Prime Minister, the enemy's cavalry is fierce, retreat quickly!"

Xiao Jian's personal soldiers saw that Li Guangrui was unstoppable, so they forced Xiao Jian to leave.

Xiao Jian was considered a civil servant, but in fact he was not good at leading troops in battle or using force. He was also frightened by Li Guang's ferocity and did not dare to continue fighting, so he went down the steps of the soldiers.

Li Guang had penetrated his rear army, and most of the soldiers collapsed. Xiao Jian and his soldiers fled among the broken troops.

The armor worn by Xiao Jian and his soldiers was more ornate compared to other soldiers. Li Guang soon discovered that the opponent might be a general, so he led his cavalry to attack Xiao Jian and others.

"Get away!"

Li Guang was determined to make meritorious deeds, and his tiger body shook, and the deserter who stood in front of him was killed by his sword!

escape!

Xiao Jian and all the soldiers had only one thought in mind.

"Master Prime Minister, mount your horse quickly!"

The soldiers urged Xiao Jian to leave on horseback.

Xiao Jian climbed onto the horse with the help of his own soldiers, but was blocked by broken troops everywhere.

The soldiers protected Xiao Jian and pushed through the crowd.

Li Guang, who was in the rear, had no scruples and just cut a bloody path, leaving Juxian soldiers dead everywhere.

Li Guang has approached Xiao Jian!

Dozens of soldiers drew their iron swords and tried to intercept Li Guang.

Douda's head fell to the ground, his blood dyed the snow red, and the raised horse hooves trampled the corpse!

Li Guang and his cavalry killed dozens of soldiers and chased Xiao Jian among thousands of troops. Except for the soldiers who worked hard for Xiao Jian, no one dared to stop him!

Xiao Jian looked behind him nervously and found that a powerful general on the other side was chasing after him, already less than 20 meters away from him!

Li Guang is more than 1.8 meters tall, with thick and long arms. Coupled with his armor, he looks extraordinary compared to ordinary people.

Especially compared to Xiao Jian, a civil servant, Li Guang is comparable to the God of War.

The distance between the two people was quickly closing, and at this time the superior Turkic war horse that Chutian rewarded Li Guang came into play.

The diamond-level Turkic war horses were galloping among the rebellious army. Coupled with Li Guang, who currently has 95 strength and is comparable to ten thousand enemies, the unlucky flying general finally shined, killing more than a dozen soldiers in a row, and the gods blocked the gods.

Approaching Xiao Jian!

"drink!"

Li Guangda shouted, chased after Xiao Jian, regarded him as a general, and slashed with all his strength!

Xiao Jian used his iron sword to resist.

The ring-headed sword was cut down, and the weak iron sword was knocked away. Xiao Jian was hit by the sword and his head rolled to the ground.

"fragile!"

Li Guang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent's general was not even his enemy.

Li Guang caught a glimpse of the long sword that fell on the ground and seemed to be of good quality, so he picked it up as a trophy for his lord and at the same time proved that he had killed the enemy general.

He still didn't know who he was killing.

Xiao Jian was nominally the prime minister of Langya Kingdom, equivalent to the prefect of the county, and second only to the governor in Xuzhou.

As a result, he died tragically under the knife of Li Guang who was lost.

A scholar encountered a flying general with 95 strength and was killed before he could ask for mercy.

As soon as Xiao Jian died, the remaining troops dispersed and Li Guang captured about 300 prisoners alive.

It's not that he couldn't capture more prisoners, but that Li Guang's cavalry didn't have many people and didn't have the energy to chase down the deserters.

The frightened captives were brought to Li Guang. The fierce man in front of him killed the Prime Minister of Langya in the midst of thousands of troops.

Although Xiao Jian's troops were already defeated when he took the enemy general's head among the thousands of troops, it still frightened everyone.

Li Guang directly tortured the prisoners and finally learned his location, but it was far away from Lingcheng and close to Yihe River.

"How far is Wu Sangui's army from here?"

"About forty miles."

"Take Xiao Jian's flag and let's sneak attack Wu Sangui!"

Li Guang made a prompt decision.

Li Guang, who defeated Xiao Jian, swept away the previous haze and wanted to make meritorious deeds again.

Wu Sangui doesn't know yet that Xiao Jian has been defeated. As long as he is fast enough, he can defeat Wu Sangui before Wu Sangui learns the news!

Li Guang used Xiao Jian's banner and used prisoners as guides to speed up the attack.

After occupying Lingcheng, Hua Mulan deliberately let go of some of Wu Sangui's cavalry and brought the news of Lingcheng's loss to Wu Sangui's camp, causing panic in Wu Sangui's army.

"There seems to be a commotion in the camp opposite... It should be that General Hua Mulan's surprise attack has worked."

Fang Xuanling climbed up to look at Wu Sangui's camp and made a judgment.

The stronghold was attacked by surprise, and this unexpected incident was enough to shake the morale of the army.

"Presumably Zhou Yafu has already prepared for him to attack."

It was not that there was no movement in Chutian.

When Hua Mulan made a surprise attack on Lingcheng, he ordered Zhou Yafu to go to the upper reaches of the Yi River overnight to lay a pontoon bridge, and the pontoon bridge was built overnight!

The pontoon bridge built by the Taishan bandits downstream was originally intended to attract Wu Sangui's attention, but Zhou Yafu had already crossed the river overnight and was ready to fight.

The pontoon bridge built by the Taishan bandits is not completely useless. It is only a hundred meters away from the other side.

"Once Zhou Yafu launches an attack and the opponent's military morale is shaken, Yin Li will be ordered to complete this pontoon bridge at any cost, and we will engage in a pincer attack with Zhou Yafu!"

Chutian sent cavalry to inform the generals.

m. Wu Sangui felt timid when he learned that Lingcheng had been occupied.

You need food to fight the war, and all his food is in Lingcheng. Without food, you can't even fill your stomach, and no one will be willing to sacrifice their life for you.

"We can only retreat to Jucheng and ask Xiao Jian to take him in."

After Wu Sangui made up his mind, he planned to keep the useless Taishan bandits in the rear, and then lead his elite soldiers to retreat.

Suddenly, there were shouts of killing in the upper reaches of the river. Changxi's old troops stationed in the north were attacked by Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Camp and were defeated one after another!

"The enemy is crossing the river from upstream! Retreat immediately! Protect the Lord and leave!"

Wu Sangui did not expect that Zhou Yafu could build the pontoon bridge overnight and cross the river with his army, so he could only take Qi Xiaobai and leave.

A team of elite soldiers protected Wu Sangui and fled.

Wu Sangui was reluctant to kill Qi Xiaobai and wanted to use his identity as a player to obtain the blueprint of the seventh-level cavalry battalion.

"Cross the river!"

Wu Sangui gave up defending the other side of the river, and Yin Li immediately rushed to repair the unfinished pontoon bridge downstream, hoping to make a contribution in front of Chu Tian.

The pontoon bridge he supervised was almost completed. The defenders on the opposite side fled and the pontoon bridge was easily completed.

Zhou Yafu sent Zang Ba and Sun Guan as the vanguard. Changxi's old troops saw Zang Ba and Sun Guan and surrendered.
