"Report! Urgent report!" Just as Kuang Zhonglei was immersed in the joy of being about to capture the city, several fast horses galloped over. They were the scouts he sent.

"General, no good, a large number of enemy troops are coming!" The scout didn't have time to dismount, and shouted loudly as he approached.

"How many people are there and how far is it?" Kuang Zhonglei was anxious. He was about to succeed. Why were there traces of the enemy?

"The number of people is unknown. I just saw a group of cavalry, so I hurried over to report it. I didn't dare to delay. They will arrive in a quarter of an hour." The scout panted. If the opponent's posture was overtaken, their horses could still survive.

Can you run away?

"It must be him, it must be him, why?" Kuang Zhonglei was furious. Just when he was about to show off his skills and attack the city, this happened.

If Pan Wushuang hadn't led his men to the top of the city yet, he could have retracted on the spot and formed a formation to meet the enemy. Even the cavalry wouldn't be able to break through his formation.

"Come here, follow me and form a formation to meet the enemy!"

"Wait, go and notify General Qu of the Divine Guards."

Kuang Zhonglei was going to personally lead his men to intercept Sun Yu, but he didn't have the confidence after all, so he sent someone to inform Qu Liangji so that he could be prepared.

Soon, Kuang Zhonglei arranged a semicircular formation on the way of the cavalry to firmly protect the attacking soldiers behind him.

Kuang Zhonglei still hoped that if Pan Wushuang could quickly capture the city gate, he could lead his army into the city, but the cavalry would not dare to enter the city easily.

A group of reluctant horses were barely put together and placed at the front of the team. Although the effect was limited, at least they felt more at ease.

A huge cavalry team appeared at the end of the official road with the rapid sound of horse hooves and flying smoke.

Unlike before, Sun Yu took the lead. Instead, the vicious dog rushed at the front, with the captured dark clouds and snow under his crotch, and a mace in his hand, like a murderous god entering the world.

Sun Yu followed closely behind, with a large number of soldiers guarding him to prevent sneak attacks from cold arrows. The horse was hanging in the air, with its Tianji bow palm and right hand, obviously not intending to directly force it.

"crossbow!"

Sun Yu shouted loudly, and the cavalry followed him one after another, picking up the cavalry crossbows in their hands.

The cavalry turned fifty steps away from Kuang Zhonglei's military formation, parallel to the opponent's military formation, and pointed the crossbow arrows in their hands at the opponent.

Sun Yu held the Tianji bow in his hand without resting or aiming, he just opened it and fired, delivering large-scale long-range strikes and depleting the enemy's morale.

Kuang Zhonglei's face was ashen. He had already mobilized his archers to fight back from behind, but faced these cavalry who were armed to the teeth, and gained very little.

Far behind the cavalry, Tao Gui was marching hastily with his own men and horses, as well as some of Sun Yu's soldiers. With them around, Sun Yu was not afraid of making mistakes, and at worst he could just shrink back behind the infantry square.

After one round of shooting, Sun Yu turned the horse's head and circled back, preparing to repeat the same trick.

"We must hurry up!" Kuang Zhonglei shouted in his heart. He really couldn't hold on for long. After a few more rounds, his morale would be gone. If the opponent rushed forward, there would be a danger of breaking the formation.

As if hearing the cry in Kuang Zhonglei's heart, the city gate slowly opened.

"General, the city gate is open!" The sharp-eyed soldier pointed back, motioning Kuang Zhonglei to look.

Kuang Zhonglei was overjoyed. Sure enough, the door opened, but his view was blocked and he couldn't see clearly. Kuang Zhonglei motioned to his soldiers to squat down. He stepped on his back and looked towards the city gate, but this glance made him feel like he was seeing the end.

I saw a large number of soldiers wearing Zhongyong Army uniforms and armor, filing out from the city gate and slashing at the Xin'an Army soldiers below the city.

Kuang Zhonglei felt dizzy for a while, and he knew he had fallen into a trap. It was so smooth before today because it was all a strategy arranged by the other party, and yet he stupidly got in, feeling smug about it.

Another burst of crossbow arrows shot into the military formation, taking away the lives of many Xin'an Army soldiers. The rear gradually began to panic. How could the Zhongyong Army soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, be able to block it easily.

"Gun!" Sun Yu shouted again, put away the Tianji bow and replaced it with a horse bow. This time, he wanted to break through the opponent's military formation directly.

The entire cavalry team quickly changed their equipment, and pointed their sharp cavalry rifles at the sky.

The vicious dog, which had been running in vain for a long time, finally had room to show off. He raised the mace high and rushed towards the opponent's position.

The mace in the evil dog's hand flew from bottom to top, directly knocked away the horse, and rushed into the enemy's formation.

Sun Yu followed closely behind, and the horse spear easily pierced the soldier in front of him. Then with a flick of the bullet, the tip of the spear came out and continued to stab the side.

More cavalry directly rammed their horses at high speed, breaking up the opponent's defense.

"Brothers, let's all run." Tao Gui, who was watching this scene from a distance, screamed with excitement. This was just for nothing. He was right in front.

Being attacked from two sides, the cavalry even tore apart the military formation, which already declared the outcome of this battle.

After the cavalry led by Sun Yu joined Bai Yong who was fighting out of the city, they turned again and continued to charge. The cavalry must win with speed and must not stop easily.

Soon, the Xin'an Army was cut into pieces. An army that has not experienced a real test cannot maintain its formation in adverse situations. What awaits them is a rout.

Kuang Zhonglei escaped again. He didn't want to die, he wanted to live. In his heart, he kept comforting himself that this was a strategic retreat. In order to preserve his vitality, he would continue to fight the enemy behind.

Kuang Zhonglei was not fleeing alone. There were countless defeated troops beside him, and they were escaping in the same direction, which was the Divine Guards position on the other side. They subconsciously relied on the Divine Guards and wanted to rely on them.

Block the enemy's footsteps.

Sun Yu had already seen it, and he just sent out a few cavalry to chase him so that he could not stop and form a formation. These broken troops would be useful later.

Kuang Zhonglei didn't know Sun Yu's intention. He thought he just looked down on this side and wanted to deal with the soldiers under the city and at the top of the city first. He was glad that he escaped and ascended to heaven.

"Bai Yong, gather your men and charge with me. Just leave General Tao here!" Sun Yu stopped, got off his horse, and charged continuously. The horse also needs to rest, and will continue later.

The soldiers of the Xin'an Army were not interested in fighting. This kind of clean-up work could be left to Tao Gui's men. They needed to fight against the Divine Guards at the front. The Divine Guards were the elite of the Southern Tang Dynasty. With the cavalry in their hands, Sun Yu was not sure.

With Bai Yong leading four elite regiments to help out, the winning rate will be much higher.

"General, I obey. Quickly, gather your troops and gather here!" Bai Yong wiped the sweat from his face. The fight he had just left the city was not easy.

As for Tao Gui, he was very satisfied with the job of cleaning up the battlefield. After his men were reorganized, they were no longer as elite as before. When he was asked to fight with the Divine Guards, he was really a little scared. He stayed here to capture prisoners and maintain the state.

It's still good to have some order.

All the cavalrymen, in order to allow their horses to recover their strength, dismounted and led their horses to the west, preparing to circle to the west of the city and launch an attack on the God Guards.

Qu Liangji was also a little confused at this moment. The siege battle was going well, but he was focused on staring at the top of the city. He didn't expect a car crash, but the city gate was suddenly opened, which made him quite at a loss.

.

Before they could organize a large number of troops to rush in, they saw a large number of elites filing out of the city gate, preparing to leave the city for a field battle.

"Give the order to go down, shrink, and set up the formation!" Qu Liangji smiled slightly, thinking that the opponent was overwhelmed by his trebuchet and was preparing to leave the city to destroy it. Naturally, he could not let it succeed.

The God Guard soldiers who were originally attacking the city quickly shrank and formed a defensive circle around the sand and soil barriers, firmly protecting the trebuchet behind them.

Lin Zhaoqing stood at the top of the city and had no intention of going down to the city to fight. Instead, he kept giving orders, mobilizing men and horses to go around the sides and rear of the Divine Guards. His duty was to contain the Divine Guards as much as possible and prevent them from retreating.

.

Qu Liangji simply ignored this. If he still wanted to surround him with just a few men, he would be seeking death. He was looking for opportunities and prepared to directly cut off and divide him at his weak points.

exterminate.

"General, look!" Just when Qu Liangji was staring at Lin Zhaoqing's men, looking for weaknesses, the military commander beside him pointed to the rear and said to him.

Qu Liangji turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and then he was furious. He saw thousands of defeated troops rushing toward him. Just by looking at their attire, he knew they were Xin'an troops.

"This is just like a pig or a dog!" Qu Liangji felt a mouthful of old blood in his chest, almost gushing out. Why was he suddenly defeated? Not even a message was sent.

In fact, Qu Liangji had unjustly accused him of Kuang Zhonglei in this matter. He had sent people to deliver the news early, but Bai Yong had ambushed two scout teams outside the city in advance and intercepted and killed the men delivering the news.

Qu Liangji and Kuang Zhonglei had been attacking the city for days. They did not expect that the other party would come like this, and they were caught off guard.

Behind the defeated troops, there were cavalry cruising. Although they did not charge, they were genuine cavalry.

Qu Liangji's old face twitched, what did cavalry mean? He knew very well that the former God of War of the Southern Tang Dynasty must be not far away, and his life was already hanging by a thread.

Every time the loyal cavalry is dispatched, it is a full-force attack that is difficult to resist.

"Order the front to form a formation and prepare to resist the enemy. The defeated troops are not allowed to enter. Stand in front of the formation and be the vanguard of our army. Go there in person. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" Qu Liangji didn't want to die, he no longer hugged him.

There was hope of defeating the opponent, so he just wanted to keep his formation intact until dark, then he could retreat calmly.

"How can I order General Kuang from such a humble position?" The captain was startled. Among the defeated troops, there must be Kuang Zhonglei, the commander of the Xin'an Army, otherwise they would have fled in all directions and it would be impossible to gather so many people.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you don't stop giving orders, you will be killed without mercy!" Qu Liangji glared, this Kuang Zhonglei was responsible for this battle and deserved his death.

"I obey my command!" The captain understood immediately, waved his hand and led his men eastward.

Sun Yu and his entourage were fast on their feet, but they still led their horses and followed behind the defeated troops. If the defeated troops could break up the opponent's formation, that would be the best.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment led by Bai Yong are also gearing up. The battle is ahead. As long as this hard nut is broken, the Battle of Shezhou will be over.

"Stop whoever is coming! Form a formation in front of the formation!"

"Pick up your weapons, aim them to the rear, and don't charge into the formation!"

"Stop everyone, anyone who doesn't listen to orders will be killed without mercy!"

In front of the Divine Guards formation, they were already standing ready, and people kept shouting, trying to make the defeated troops stop.

Behind the defeated soldiers, there were hundreds of horsemen cruising. From time to time, they drove their horses forward and fired a wave of cold arrows, causing the defeated soldiers to run faster, without daring to stop at all.

Qu Liangji stood on the high platform, looking past the defeated soldiers. The scene he least wanted to see appeared behind him. A large number of war horses appeared in his field of vision.

Now in front of Qu Liangji, there was only one way to shrink his defense. If he tried to escape, he would be followed and attacked by the opponent's cavalry. The only way was to remain motionless and make a firm defense to make him return without success.

"Get out of the way!" Kuang Zhonglei gasped and squeezed through the quarreling crowd. He finally escaped here just to hide among the Divine Guards, but he didn't expect to let him go.

"The general has an order to form a formation outside the formation to resist the enemy. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!" The captain who had just been a personal soldier walked up to Kuang Zhonglei and repeated it again.

"What do you mean? I can't do it either? Look clearly and get out of here!" Kuang Zhonglei was angry. Qu Liangji is a general, so am I. Even if he is defeated, a captain like you cannot stop him.

.

"The general has an order, no!" The captain was indifferent. If he were allowed to go in, he might be the one who would lose his life.

"I'll chop you!" Kuang Zhonglei was so angry that he pulled out the long knife from his waist. He didn't believe it. He really dared to stop him. Do you think he was just a show-off?
