Chapter 961 Siege(2/2)

"How many cavalry are there in the army? How many horses?!" Xu Wentao raised his head and asked.

On the side, a military chief in a scribe's robe but covered in blood said, "General, our army still has 1,800 horses and 1,200 cavalry."

The soldiers here are all cavalry from the local garrison, and their combat power cannot be compared with the cavalry from front-line field troops like the Sixth Army of the Emperor.

The equipment is also much inferior. The war horses are not fat and strong, nor do they have leather armor. The knights also wear leather armor and carry ordinary hard bows.

The cavalry of these local garrison troops were originally used to suppress bandits, so naturally they could not be the same as the frontline troops and front-line troops.

"That's enough!" Xu Wentao said with a high-five, "Then let's take a gamble!"

"Everyone will obey your orders!"

Everyone, who was still a little messy, immediately stood in solemn silence.

"This general is determined to abandon the left camp and fully support Marshal Zhao! The original soldiers and horses of the left camp are divided into three parts. Where is Chang Junmai, the commander of the hussars?!"

"The end is here!"

A young general carrying a green dragon halberd stood up. Although this man was only twenty-three-four years old, he had good martial arts skills and was already connected to all eight meridians. He could reach the realm of condensing Qi and transforming Yuan in half a year at most.

Yuan Hua Jing.

He was not from the Sixth Army of the Emperor, but a good young man who was discovered and cultivated by Xu Wentao himself.

"You and I have a thousand cavalry and we have no specific target. You lead your troops to cruise around the battlefield, looking for fighter opportunities and relieving the pressure on General Zhao!"

"yes!"

Xu Wentao then looked at the other generals in the army and said, "Other gentlemen, follow me to gather the remaining troops and attack the enemy's camp!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were shocked.

They never expected that Xu Wentao would have such courage. But they had to admit that this was indeed a bold but feasible plan.

Now all the attention of King Zhao's rebels is attracted by General Zhao's right camp. Even the soldiers and horses who attacked their left camp have been withdrawn to besiege the right camp. How strong can their defense be?

strength?!

However, the risks of this plan are still high.

Although the enemy camp is estimated to be empty, they may not be able to defeat them in a single battle with the soldiers and horses in their hands.

Once the soldiers and horses attacking Zhao Tianlin's right battalion from the front retreat, they will immediately be surrounded by counterattacks. At that time, there will be only one way to annihilate the entire army.

"Zhao Linian, Zhong Yaqi, you two take the wounded soldiers in the army and retreat towards Yanmen Pass."

Zhao Linian and Zhong Yaqi are the two youngest captains in Youying, and Zhao Linian is the grandson of Zhao Tianlin.

Zhao Tianlin was nearly eighty years old and had three sons, but they all died for the country.

He has two grandsons, and one who fought bloody battles to defend Jinyang and died of exhaustion. Zhao Linian is his only bloodline.

"I want to follow the general and attack the enemy camp!"

When Zhao Linian heard that Xu Wentao wanted to lead his own troops to evacuate, he immediately stood up to oppose it. What's more, his grandfather was currently fighting a bloody battle with the rebels, how could he retreat?!

The blood of the Zhao family's men is full of righteousness, loyalty and bravery, how could they escape without fighting?!

Xu Wentao knew that Zhao Linian would definitely object, but he had already thought of an excuse.

"Li Nian, among the generals here, you are the only one who has been in Yanmen and is the most familiar with the route. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy. It is up to you to evacuate these eight thousand injured brothers. Besides, although you two are good at martial arts,

, but I lack actual combat experience. This is a battlefield and is not something to be trifled with. As the commander of the Zuo camp, I naturally have to consider everything!"

Xu Wentao's reasons were sufficient. Even if Zhao Linian was of high status, he could not oppose such a "reasonable and well-founded" military order.

"Yes! General, take your orders!" Zhao Linian took the military order and went with his friend Zhong Yaqi to integrate the wounded soldiers and prepare to evacuate.

Seeing Zhao Linian leave, Xu Wentao breathed a sigh of relief. The only flesh and blood of Mr. Zhao cannot be cut off here.
