The strongest emperor system in history

Chapter 51 Murderous Intent in the Dark Night!

Gou Yunguang didn't speak, but his face was already gloomy.

As the general of the army, he is very aware of the current situation of the army. If he is mobilized by the enemy in this way, there will only be one result. The army's physical strength will collapse, and it will be defeated without a fight!

Taking a deep breath, Gou Yunguang ordered in a deep voice: "Order the reinforcements to rest in place, and the front and rear troops will strengthen their defenses to prevent the enemy from attacking!"

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and hurriedly took orders.

"Is the Chinese army not moving?"

After another intrusion, Lu Zihong in the distance watched the movement of the enemy barracks, narrowed his eyes, and soon realized Gou Yunguang's plan.

It was obvious that he wanted to give the Chinese soldiers who were running back and forth time to rest and recover their strength, but unfortunately, Lu Zihong didn't intend to give him this opportunity.

"Send an order to Dian Wei to lead two thousand cavalry to attack in the southeast direction of the enemy's barracks. This time, don't retreat, just move back and forth in the southeast direction, forcing the enemy's central army to move!" Lu Zihong ordered.

"Yes!"

The soldiers sent an order to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei immediately set off with two thousand cavalry, and followed Lu Zihong's order to the southeast of the enemy's barracks, making a gesture of attacking.

This caused the defenders in the southeast direction to change their complexions, and hurriedly reported to Gou Yunguang.

"What? Two thousand cavalry appeared?"

"Damn it! These are all the cavalry under Lu Zihong's command!"

When Gou Yunguang received the order, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, mobilize the reinforcements to rush to the southeast immediately, and the enemy must not be allowed to break through the southeast defense!"

"This……"

A general hesitated, and said: "General, the reinforcements have just rested for less than half an hour, and their physical strength has not recovered yet."

"Yes, General, could this be Lu Zihong's strategy to exhaust the army?"

"We let the reinforcements dispatch now, will we fall into the trap?"

"Don't you know what you're talking about?" Gou Yunguang roared angrily, "But can we bet that his two thousand cavalry are still a strategy for exhausting the army?"

"Don't forget, there is no defensive equipment at all in the southeast direction. Once the enemy's [-] cavalry charge, the garrison will be breached if they can't defend for a quarter of an hour!"

"When the time comes, there will be a gap in the barracks, and the only thing waiting for us is a dead end!"

Taking a deep breath, Gou Yunguang said in a deep voice: "So, even if this may be Lu Zihong's strategy to exhaust the army, we don't have the slightest chance to choose!"

The generals were silent when they heard the words, but their faces were full of unwillingness.

They obviously had thirty times more troops than the enemy's [-] cavalry, but they were harassed by the enemy in a terrible way. It's a joke to say it!

But now they are really helpless in the face of these two thousand cavalry.

"Ma De, if we knew this would happen, we might as well fight Lu Zihong head-on, maybe we can still win!" A general said angrily.

It's just that these words fell in the ears of the others, but they shook their heads.

The location they are in is a plain, which is very suitable for cavalry to charge, and the front line of 6 people is too long. The enemy can choose any direction to attack them by relying on the mobility of the cavalry. It is still a sure thing to lose!

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, Gou Yunguang said helplessly: "There is no way, this is the limitation of the terrain in the southern border. Our infantry don't have a city wall to stand firm, so it is impossible to fight the iron cavalry."

"Everyone go down and get ready! I have already sent a message to the army of Zexing City and Fengyang City. As long as we hold on for a few days, reinforcements will arrive. By then, our two 10,000+ troops will join together and we will not be afraid of confronting the enemy head-on. gone."

The generals could only sigh helplessly when they heard the words, and bowed to accept the order to mobilize the reinforcements to the southeast of the barracks.

When their order was handed down, the reinforcements immediately complained. They had been running around in the barracks for the past few hours, but the enemy didn't see them, but their legs were almost useless.

It's just that after the order from above, they didn't dare to say much no matter how angry they were, they could only obediently obey the order and go to the southeast to help.

When they arrived, Dian Wei's two thousand cavalry had reached the distance where they could attack at any time. However, Dian Wei remembered Lu Zihong's order and did not directly attack. Instead, he led the two thousand cavalry to move back and forth in the southeast direction, as if looking for A weak point from which to attack.

On the barracks wall of the Nanbo City army, Gou Yunguang and his generals looked solemn when they saw it. The enemy did not retreat this time. Could it be that they are really going to attack?

"General, looking at the appearance of the enemy cavalry, they are determined to attack. Should we mobilize troops from other places to strengthen the defense of the southeast?" a general said in a deep voice.

Gou Yunguang pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "According to the information we got, Lu Zihong personally led the cavalry to go south, but now that Lu Zihong hasn't appeared, it's hard to say whether the enemy is really going to attack, just wait."

"The general is worried that Lu Zihong has some tricks behind him?" a general asked.

Gou Yunguang nodded and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."

"General Gou, you are worrying too much." Shangguan Chan said with a smile, "Have you forgotten, General? The enemy army only has two thousand cavalry, and now the number of enemy troops appearing in the southeast has reached as many as two thousand. So what if Lu Zihong hides in the dark? Can he conjure up more cavalry?"

"Although that is the case, as a general, you should think more about it, and keep back." Gou Yunguang shook his head and said: "Wait a little longer, and see what the enemy is doing."

Shangguan Chan shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, but didn't say much.

……

"Sure enough, the Chinese army is still being used."

Lu Zihong, who was in the distance, watched the movement of the enemy's central army, narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured: "Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to force Gou Yunguang to mobilize the defensive troops in other directions."

If Gou Yunguang mobilized troops from other directions, the defensive forces in other directions would become weaker, and this was his opportunity to attack.

Gou Yunguang was not transferred, which made him a little disappointed.

But it's just a little disappointing.

Now his goal has basically been achieved.

The next thing to wait is time!

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already past Haishi, and it was Zishi!

The night completely enveloped the earth, and there were only a few stars in the sky.

In Gou Yunguang's barracks, the exhausted soldiers snored loudly, but the defenders in the southeast direction did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Because the enemy's iron cavalry was moving slowly outside during these two hours, and did not retreat at all, which forced them to be mentally prepared.

However, the main general, Gou Yunguang, breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although the enemy army still wanted to exhaust the army, at least they did not change their direction, so as not to completely collapse the strength of the reinforcements.

More importantly, the enemy army is now only gathering in the southeast direction, so soldiers in other directions of their own army can take the time to rest.

Wait until the physical strength recovers tomorrow, and then take over the defensive tasks of the reinforcements and the southeast defenders, and then they will not be afraid of the enemy's cavalry attack.

So, now he is happy and relaxed.

However, he never imagined that in the northwest direction, which is completely opposite to the southeast direction of his barracks, there is an iron cavalry shrouded in darkness quietly approaching his barracks.
