"kill!"
In an instant, a lot of soldiers appeared from all directions and surrounded these cavalrymen, making them unable to move at all.
Only then did Xu Shanbao realize that he might have fallen into a trap. It was very likely that the enemy already knew that he was going to raid the military camp, so they used this trick.
He is completely confused now and doesn't know what to do.
Some soldiers nearby took a look at the situation and shouted to Xu Shanbao: "General, run quickly. We will support you. You must stay alive, General."
Xu Shanbao didn't want to leave, but the soldiers around him kept trying to dissuade him, and they had no other way to go at the moment.
Helplessly, he had to wait for the right opportunity and escape quickly after the chaos broke out.
As expected, they fought with each other and the scene was very chaotic. Xu Shanbao had no other choice at this moment and had to leave quickly to take advantage of the chaos.
It was night, so I couldn't see clearly.
It was not known whether it was intentional by the enemy or what, but Xu Shanbao was not stopped by anyone and left quite smoothly.
He was also a survivor, and he felt heartbroken when he thought of his cavalry brothers.
This group of people had followed him for such a long time, but they were killed in the military camp.
"Damn it! This dog eunuch is clearly caught in a trap. How did he know I was going to lead the cavalry to launch a surprise attack? Did someone tip him off?"
Xu Shanbao had a bold idea at this time, and he said with some trembling.
"Could it be that... that bastard Zhou Zhengtian wanted to eliminate my cavalry, leaving me with no soldiers to use, so he came up with this trick?!"
"He wants to use the imperial army to weaken the forces under my command."
When Xu Shanbao thought of this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He rode his horse back to the army camp.
As soon as he returned, he roared, "Zhou Zhengtian, get out here!"
"Zhou Zhengtian, were you the one who secretly informed us that I was going to send a surprise attack on the enemy camp? Were you the one who told the imperial army so that you could reap the benefits and eliminate the forces under my control?"
"Zhou Zhengtian, this bastard is so shameless!"
Zhou Zhengtian was sitting in the tent waiting for news when he was suddenly yelled at. He immediately ran out, pointed at Xu Shanbao's nose and shouted:
"Xu Shanbao, who do you think you are? How dare you scold me here? Don't forget, I am the general now, who are you?"
"Do you think I, the general, would be so shameless as you say and betray my own people? I asked you to send a cavalry raid, how could I possibly report this to the court and weaken my own strength?"
"Yes, General, I do look down on you. I do want to weaken your troops, but I don't want our troops to be decimated so quickly. At least we have to defeat the imperial army first."
"You think everyone is like you, simple-minded and strong-limbed? Look at you now. Are you saying that I betrayed you?"
Xu Shanbao glared with wide eyes and shouted angrily, "If it weren't for you snitching, how would the imperial army know I was going to send cavalry to raid?"
"All of my brothers are gone. They even sacrificed their lives over there just to get me back."
"Zhou Zhengtian, how do you explain it?"
Zhou Zhengtian couldn't help but roll his eyes, clenched his fists, and spoke with gritted teeth.
"Don't you have any brains? What if your cavalry unit is discovered by the enemy during the march?"
“Even if your cavalry is light cavalry, they will make different noises at night when it’s so quiet.
Who knows how you march and fight, who knows what your route is?"
"You've been caught in a trap, and the losses are also my own. Shouldn't I be heartbroken?"
“…”
The two men started cursing at each other in front of many soldiers, as if they were enemies who had not seen each other for many years.
Anyway, it's just a way to satisfy your curiosity. As for what will really happen, it's not certain.
Both Xu Shanbao and Zhou Zhengtian knew very well that if they separated because of some trivial matter at this time, they would only die more miserably.
After a long moment, Zhou Zhengtian said coldly, "Xu Shanbao, let me tell you again, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please don't make random suspicions in the future."
"Do you think this general really cares about these things?"
"ridiculous!"
…
The next day.
Lu Yun gathered his troops, led the army, and personally commanded the battle.
He wants to attack Liyue City!
However, he also knew that this was a tough nut to crack. During the march and battle, his crossbow arrows had been used up, and even the crossbow bed had lost a lot of weapons.
Now that the war is in progress, it is impossible to recreate so many things.
Anyway, he estimated that under normal circumstances, it would take at least several days to capture the city, and it might even take half a month or even a month.
It was really because the supplies from the imperial court did not keep up.
"Shangguan Yan, this time you will once again serve as the vanguard, leading three thousand cavalrymen to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
"Everyone else, proceed step by step. Pay more attention when fighting. Pay attention to the formations I taught you. Don't panic too much."
"Archers and crossbowmen, get ready. You play a decisive role on the battlefield. You must not cause any trouble here."
"yes!"
Lu Yun sighed, then held out his hand, "Send the troops! Attack!"
"yes."
As the horn sounded, the imperial army showed a strong desire to fight, and they looked at the soldiers of Liyue City opposite.
Comparing the two, the army on the imperial side was more powerful and more eager to fight.
The reason is very simple. The army on the court's side has always been winning battles. Naturally, they are full of confidence and their overwhelming fighting spirit will burst out.
On the other hand, the opponents all looked listless, mainly because they had suffered many defeats and their confidence had been completely worn out.
What's more, among the opposing army, the soldiers marching in the front were those under Xu Shanbao.
He never suffered any losses in his troops, but fleeing without fighting would greatly damage a soldier's will.
"Soldiers, follow this general and charge forward. Take down the heads of the thieves on the opposite side."
"If you win this battle, the general promises you good food and drink, meat and wine."
“Charge!”
Xu Shanbao rode on the horse, pulled out a big knife in his hand, and shouted angrily.
