"Five, 50,000!?"

Wu Haogu took a deep breath, so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

How could it become 50,000? Didn’t it say 50,000 to 10,000 in the morning? Why did it double and become 50,000 now? How do you fight so many Western thieves? I only have 25,000 people.

Tong Guan was very shocked and asked in a low voice: "How far is the distance?"

"It's less than 40 miles away," said Zhao Zhongge, "I'll arrive at Tongwan City tomorrow morning."

Gao Qiu's voice was also a little trembling: "Then is it still time for us to leave now?"

"It's too late!"

Brother Zhao Zhong shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Since the Western thieves have concentrated 50,000 troops to reinforce Tongwan, it means they want to fight to the death with me in Tongwan. Therefore, they are likely to send a partial army to set up an ambush in Tongwan East and South. If we want to leave, we may be hit by their ambush.

Therefore, the military commander suggested that Tongwancheng be captured as soon as possible, and then the battle between the city and the Western thieves from afar."

International star Gao Qiu shook his head in his heart. Brother Zhao Zhong’s abacus was so satisfactory!

There are still many Western thieves in Tongwan City that are resisting, how could they be taken down quickly? Moreover, the walls of Tongwan City have been blown up with two big gaps, and even if they are taken down, it will be difficult to defend.

"Can you win?" Wu Haogu was also a little suspicious.

"Yes!" Zhao Zhongge was not vague at all, "We are not alone. There are also Fuyan, and there are nearly 60,000 people from Huanqing Road (including cannon fodder from the Hengshan Fan tribe). As long as they come, there will be a great victory. If a great victory can be achieved under Tongwan City, Yanzhou and Hejian grassland will be able to go down without a fight."

"But the Western thieves have an army of 50,000!" Gao Qiu shook his head, "We are only 25,000, and we are still tired soldiers. How could we hold on for so long?"

Tong Guan held his only few beards and looked at Zhao Zhongge and asked, "Commander Zhao, can the commander of military affairs formulate a strategy for the response of the Western thieves' reinforcements?"

"I've planned it." Zhao Zhongge said, "Send out the cavalry of the imperial horses to delay the Western thieves' reinforcements, and at the same time attack the Tongwancheng. After taking the Tongwancheng, the army will be moved to it."

"The imperial horse is only more than a thousand armored cavalry, can it resist the 50,000 troops of the Western thieves?"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhongge smiled, "Please rest assured, the lower officials and Murong commanders have their own ways to deal with it."

Tong Guan nodded and looked at Wu Haogu, "Chongdao, you are the Duke of Sanzhidu Yu, come and make your own ideas."

Wu Haogu looked at Brother Zhao Zhong, and this proud disciple of Murong's son was full of confidence.

"Then..." Wu Haogu gritted his teeth, "Then let's fight! Brother Zhong, please stay and command the attack, let the fifth brother and Xie go too."

"It's slanted?" Brother Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's OK, it's slanted and has a lot of talent."

Gao Qiu frowned and pondered for a while, as if he had made a great decision, "Then go too! There are 5,500 riders here, and 1,100 of them are armored riders... Let's go together, there are more people, maybe I can delay more time."

Wu Haogu bowed to Gao Qiu and smiled and said, "Brother Gao, then I'll have a chance to put a formation for Murong Wu Ge and Wanyan Xi."

"Okay!" Gao Qiu nodded, "Dalang, Tongwancheng should hurry up... I have to take it as soon as possible. It is best to seal the broken mouth with a sandbag, so that I don't have to worry."

"Okay! Brother Gao, don't worry!" Wu Haogu said, "I will definitely win Tongwancheng tomorrow morning."

Gao Qiu turned his head and said, "Commander Zhao, when will our Yumazhi set off?"

"At the time of the ugly," said Zhao Zhongge, "Now send a signal to recall all the racquets, and then change horses to eat. You can go out again when the ugly."

Tong Guan frowned and said, "These rattles have been tired for a long time, can they still fight?"

"Yes." Brother Zhao Zhong said, "It's nothing... I can't stand it for a long time. Can I still call Ma Jun?"

Those sent by Brother Zhao Zhong tonight were either "Gunda" or "problem boy" who gave birth to the Jurchens or Wu Haogu's "problem boy". They were all like iron, and they would not be able to bear it at all.

The signal used to recall the roar is actually the Kongming lantern. It can be released at the same time as dozens or hundreds of times. The roar can be seen from a distance, and then he knows that he will rush back to the camp immediately.

The commander-in-chief Wei Ming Cha Ge, who was leading the army, traveling south in a mighty way, also saw the Kongming lanterns dotted in the sky.

Li Liangfu, the commander of Tie Yaozi, said to Cha Ge: "King, that seems to be the direction of Tongwan City!"

Brother Cha smiled coldly: "Song Gou discovered our army... Maybe he used Kongming lanterns as a signal to ask for help?"

"Is there any Song Gou's soldiers nearby?" Li Liangfu frowned. This possibility cannot be ruled out, because the combat effectiveness of the imperial horse and straight armored cavalry was very strong, which caused heavy losses to the rangers in Xixia and also limited their range of activities. Therefore, Cha Ge did not understand the movements of the Song army on the north bank of Wuding River.

"Maybe." Brother Cha snorted, "But we have more than 70,000 people... Song Gou's soldiers cannot be more than us!"

"King," Li Liangfu said again, "Let's go faster and strive to arrive at Tongwan City after dawn."

"No need." Brother Cha shook his head, "You have to keep some strength. There may be a big fight tomorrow morning."

"King, do you mean that Song Gou will break the siege of Tong Wan and come to fight us?"

Brother Cha nodded: "Tongwan was sealed and couldn't do anything now. It's impossible to be broken by Song Gou, but it's not certain to dig a trench to siege. Song Gou may have 30,000 people in Tongwan, and it's still possible to withdraw 20,000 to fight us."

Li Liangfu smiled and said, "Then we will definitely win!"

Brother Cha smiled and said, "Of course! How could 20,000 people beat more than 50,000 people?"

"King, the sky in the south seems to be a little red!" I don't know who it was, but suddenly he shouted in the direction of Tongwancheng.

Redness?

Brother Cha and Li Liangfu looked out and saw that there was really a red light reflected in the sky in the distance.

"Tongwancheng is on fire?" Brother Cha said hesitantly.

"No," Li Liangfu shook his head, "It should be a bonfire... Song Gou must be attacking overnight!"

"Yeye Attack?" Brother Cha frowned, "Okay! If this is true, then we will definitely win!"

...

"How can more than 8,000 people beat more than 50,000 people?"

When the international famous general Gao Qiu led about 8,500 cavalrymen to leave the Song army camp under Tongwancheng in the early morning, he was so nervous that he could hardly speak.

Not only is he nervous, but he also regrets very much... I regret that I should not talk too much, saying that I should take 5,500 cavalry and the imperial horse in front of the palace to act together.

But I feel embarrassed to take back what I say. Gao Qiu is now a famous general! Can a famous general keep his word?

So I set off with my teeth! But as soon as I left the barracks, fear came out of my heart and could not be erased.

"Taiwei Gao, there are about 50,000 Western thieves, and four columns advance in unison, with each column being about four or five miles apart..."

Gao Qiu, who was riding on a horse and marched with a large group of people, only knew that he was scared at this time. What was Wu Tian, ​​who had not heard clearly about the military situation to him?

"You can break up the whole way first!" Wanyan Xie also immediately made a suggestion.

"How to break up?" Murong Mu asked.

"Concentrate armor and ride the wheels to attack!" Wanyan Xie also said, "If you fight ten or eight rounds, you will definitely be able to break up."

"Try ten rounds and eight rounds?" Zhe Keda, who followed Gao Qiu, frowned loudly when he heard it, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Your cavalry are all iron-killed?"

Wanyan Xie also smiled: "Can you not fight for a hundred rounds, can you still call Ma Jun?"

One hundred rounds!? Zhe Kedaxin said: This Jurchen general is really good at bragging! There are cavalrymen in the world who can fight for a hundred rounds? If there are really, then will they not be invincible?

Yang Kebi also shook his head and said, "Not to mention a hundred rounds, even ten or eight rounds can't be beaten!"

He was a commander of Yumazhi, and he knew how much the pound of Yumazhi was. How long has it been? Yumazhi's knight became a slaughter?

Murong Gu interrupted at this time, "Master Yang doesn't know that our current fighting style is different from the past... Now we use 50 cavalry as a small team, taking turns to attack a little, and then leaving the road to the next team. In this way, the cycle of reincarnation and waves of impact do not last long-term hand-to-hand combat with the opponent."

The tactic of only impact and not fighting hand-to-hand combat was not only found in modern Western cavalry. The Jurchens did this when the two Song dynasties intersected. Their heavy cavalry often rushed to dozens of formations in a day's battle, and during the impact process, they did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy as much as possible, but exerted the power of the impact to the greatest extent.

At the same time, the Jurchen cavalry that rushed to the formation often had 50 cavalry as a team, of which 20 cavalry were wearing heavy armor and long scepters. The remaining 30 cavalry followed closely with bows and arrows, so that the Jurchen cavalry teams had two combat methods after approaching the enemy formation.

The fighting style of the more than 40 Jurchen soldiers who followed the imperial horses to fight have made progress. Because Wu Haogu equipped them with cavalry crossbows, the spear cavalry also had the possibility of archery. Therefore, they often all attack with guns and use cavalry crossbows to attack with a wave of crossbow arrows after the rushing ends.

"Then how can we fight the 5,500 cavalry of our Hedong Army?" Yang Kebi asked in thought.

Murong Dou smiled: "The brothers of Hedong Army don't have to rush forward. Just be a rafter for us and then hold on to the ground."

What? Just press the formation? Yang Kebi and Zhe Keda looked at each other. Is Murong Tu confused?

8,500 rides against others for 40,000 or 50,000 rides, but will you still have to let 5,500 rides beside you and watch the show?

"Okay!" Murong Gu suddenly strangled the reins, "Let's just get here!" He turned his head and said to Gao Qiu, "Taiwei, let's wait for the Western thieves' army here.

In addition, the brothers of the Hedong Army took action and scattered into a ranger to fight with the Western thieves, so that they could not understand our reality."

Gao Qiu looked back at Tongwancheng. The fire was soaring into the sky, and it didn't look very far.
