"retreat!"

This decision seemed correct and timely at the time, but the result was a bit regrettable.

There is no way to go to the north because there are Gao Shun's feint attack troops in the north. Although there are not many, thousands of cavalry are enough to pose the most deadly threat to infantry at night. Moreover, the opponent is still archers and cavalry. Although there are also 6,000 thunderbolts in the city, players dare not let these 6,000 thunderbolts compete with the 3,000 enemy troops outside the city.

It is obviously not possible to go west, because fierce battles are taking place in the west city. Not only can we not walk through the west gate, but we must even hide the news that the soldiers fighting on the west city wall are retreating, because they are already a group of destined to be abandoned. If they cannot delay the pursuit of the enemy, then tens of thousands of troops and militia in the city will not be able to evacuate smoothly. As for the residents, please beg for blessings.

The battle on the West City Wall has become fierce, but the battle is a bit one-sided. At the beginning, there were considerable players participating and they could slightly block the small round formations of heavy infantry. However, with the death and evacuation of the players, the defenders on the city wall quickly fell into a tough battle.

Gao Shun's heavy infantry were like war machines that had been twisted and swept, killing all visible targets without any emotion. Where they passed by, except for the surrendered soldiers who threw away their weapons and kneeled on the ground, there were only broken limbs and blood flowing with heat.

The evacuation work in the city was very fast, because the battle on the west city wall was really disappointing. Gao Shun's camp's attack and defense attributes were very strong, and the city wall was completely lost in just half an hour. Fortunately, Gao Shun's troops were insufficient and it was dark again, so Gao Shun did not dare to advance into the city. Instead, after cleaning up the long-range positions behind the city wall, he turned to the city walls along the city wall to attack the city walls on both sides, trying to completely block the four gates.

The defeated army of Daqi Gate evacuated from the East Gate because the road to the east is easier to walk. Moreover, there is a small city less than fifty miles away, which can survive or gather its own members and other forces that dare to resist to form a group to resist the pursuit of the opponent's cavalry.

However, the six thousand thrusts led by the pioneer were intercepted by the enemy's archers before they walked ten miles.

The sound of horse hooves coming from the night and the arrows flying in the dark all told the Daqimen thrust cavalry that was attacking. The opponent was also a archer and cavalry. When the Daqimen thrust cavalry shot arrows back, the enemy suddenly divided into two teams left and right to encircle them, and cleverly avoided their own bows and arrows. Obviously, the opponent was more elite than them!

"Roar forward, don't look back, don't worry about the infantry behind, how much can you walk!"

The cavalry commander was very decisive and immediately issued an order to retreat with all his might. In fact, he hoped that the enemy would pursue him, so that the infantry behind would have a greater chance to escape smoothly.

Although his orders were correct, he still underestimated the enemy's combat power. Even in the dark, a volley shot caused three or four hundred damage to the cavalry of the Daqi Gate, which already shows that the enemy's attributes are very strong, and how can the archers with strong attack power fall behind in speed!

What's more, they met Li Yuanzhi, the fastest under Fang Zhiwen!

Selling his back to the archers is definitely the stupidest behavior. Li Yuanzhi happily led his six thousand archers and easily chased within the range of the shooting range. After chasing for three or four miles, Li Yuanzhi waved his hand and his troops rushed into the enemy's team from behind, completing a perfect cavalry annihilation battle.

Although those players and generals tried to resist, their backs were facing Li Yuanzhi, and their ranks were one or two levels apart, and the battle formation was broken. How could they deal with the vicious Li Yuanzhi!

Li Yuanzhi was the commander with the smallest cavalry unit under Fang Zhiwen. When he first arrived in Jiaozhou Bay, there were only three thousand cavalrymen. Later, he added 3,000. Even Li Yuanzhi's own guards had only eight thousand cavalrymen. This time he left two thousand to guard the house in Qingdao, and he personally brought 6,000 to participate in the Dongwu raid.

Although there are few people, Li Yuanzhi's combat power is not bad. Moreover, Li Yuanzhi has not fought a decent battle for a long time, and his fighting spirit is even more high. Moreover, he must show off his long-lost lord.

The news that the thunder cavalry in front was wiped out quickly to the large army of the players in the rear. The situation is now critical. Thousands of thunder cavalry in front of the enemy blocked the road, and then they were cut off by Gao Shun. The road to the city was left in the north and south directions. In the north, the thunder cavalry in the feint attacking the north city will definitely intercept the city, and it is difficult to guarantee whether there are any opponent's ambush in the south.

Now it seems that retreating is definitely a bad move. It could have barely fought street battles in the city, and it could have given the enemy some damage. Now it is surrounded in the wilderness outside the city, and the enemy does not need to attack. As long as the archers repeatedly raid and harass them, the troops will collapse directly.

In fact, there are really no intercepting troops in the south, and Li Yuanzhi did not think about surrounding the opponent. The best tactic of the cavalry is to rush the opponent to run. If there is no need to attack at that time, the enemy will be exhausted and lose its combat effectiveness.

The players who were scared to the point of despair chose to defend on the spot and prepare for a final death battle with the enemy, which was beyond Li Yuanzhi's expectations, but Li Yuanzhi didn't care. Since he had to defend, he would fight according to the style of defending his life.

As for Gao Shun, who was continuing to sweep his tail in Dongwu City, he was not in a hurry to chase out of the city to compete for merit. In Gao Shun's view, a veteran like Li Yuanzhi had 6,000 cavalry in his hands, plus the guards he sent to receive command, a total of 8,000, and the enemy was more than 60,000 infantry and thousands of Yi people. Even if he could not wipe out Yi people, it would be fine to take those troops down. He would still seize and defend Dongwu City to preserve the results.

Li Yuanzhi's method is very simple. He divided his troops and Gao Shun's guard into several teams, and took turns to attack with bows and arrows from several directions, but did not attack vigorously. He grasped the rhythm of the entire battlefield well and kept the surrounding enemies in a state of high tension, while his troops took turns to rest and attack.

This field battle is not exciting at all. The players are fighting too conservatively, of course it has to do with a large number of players scattered retreat first. This is the final effort to preserve their strength. The city is lost, the materials are gone, and the troops are gone, but at least they have to work hard to protect the strength of the members. The reason why they choose to defend the same place is to create opportunities for the members to escape.

In fact, Li Yuanzhi did not spend any effort to chase those players who had scattered breakthroughs with more than a dozen soldiers, because Li Yuanzhi understood very well that players were like endless leeks. There was no need to stare at the players at all. Instead, they should pay attention to the players' troops. As long as they took down the players' troops, they would weaken them most effectively.

Under Li Yuanzhi's despicable fighting style, the player troops, who had been under tremendous pressure, finally collapsed at the moment when the light of dawn appeared in the early morning. They had an internal strife. Li Yuanzhi did not get involved, but just stopped the troops who had lost their weapons and ran out on the periphery, and then screened them and took them aside to contain them.

It was dawn that Li Yuanzhi eliminated the last stubborn players and completed the entire battle. At this time, Gao Shun's battle in Dongwu City began to enter the final clearing stage. It turned out that after Gao Shun captured the four cities, he did not rush to attack the city. There would be unnecessary losses in the street fighting in the dark, so Gao Shun waited for dawn with peace of mind.

His calmness also won the recognition of Li Yuanzhi. Li Yuanzhi did not dare to enter the city because he was from the hostile camp. Once he entered the city, Gao Shun could not successfully take over the management of the city. Therefore, he had to escort the surrendered troops to the city gate in a group, and then Gao Shun sent someone to take over. Li Yuanzhi needed to escape as soon as possible and then build a first defensive circle for Gao Shun outside the city of Dongwu.

Dongwu City fell overnight, silencing all the players in Chengyang County. In fact, when Dongwu City was attacked, the diplomats from Daqi Gate informed the surrounding players, hoping that these players could send troops to support Dongwu City, but before the relevant diplomatic negotiations were completed, Dongwu City had already changed hands.

The destruction of the entire army of the Daqi Gate in Dongwu City was even more shocking. In addition, there were thousands of cavalrymen in the same camp appearing in Dongwu City to assist Gao Shun in the battle, which also shocked the players in Chengyang County. This shows that among the large forces in Chengyang County, some people have completely turned to Fang Zhiwen. The players in Chengyang County who were originally inclined to unite have also begun to reconsider it. No one wants to be attacked by the hidden arrows from behind.

"Gao Shun, the chief general of the trap, has met General Li!"

"General Gao is polite. I am well-known in Qingdao City! Haha."

"General Li praised it, that's just his duty."

Li Yuanzhi looked at Gao Shun with some curiosity and seriousness, feeling that this person's personality was a bit too cold, and he felt that he was completely frightened. However, he also had an extremely distinctive military style, which Li Yuanzhi admired very much.

"What I said is true, General Gao doesn't have to mind."

"Thank you General Li for coming to help thousands of miles away. The defenses on the periphery will depend on General Li for the rest of the world."

"You don't have to be polite, this is my duty, haha."

Gao Shun's eyes flashed, and there was also the same appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Li Yuanzhi.

"When will the lord arrive?"

"General Pingbei should arrive before afternoon tomorrow. Before that, I must clear and rectify Dongwu City."

Li Yuanzhi frowned slightly. Li Yuanzhi was a little dissatisfied with Gao Shun's name to his lord, but there was no need to show it. Just keep some things in mind, but I still need to remind my lord not to capsize in the gutter.

"Okay, General Gao will do his best to deal with the city. The prisoners of war have been handed over. Let's go now."

"If you have any trouble, General Li will be given a date later!"

"Haha, there will be a date later, I will say goodbye!"

Gao Shun stood outside the city gate, watching the agile cavalry disappear quickly in the distance, frowned slightly for a while, and didn't know what he was thinking. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and fight back to the city. (To be continued)
