Chapter 3899 Unstoppable
The two thousand armored cavalry began to slow down one mile away from the enemy camp outside the far gate to save energy for the war horses. When they were a hundred feet away, they began to accelerate. The roar of hooves trampled by eight thousand iron hooves made the earth tremble slightly, and the oncoming drizzle fell on their faces and bodies, making the soldiers and horses excited and quickly reaching the most suitable state for fighting.
Gao Kan, wearing a helmet and armor, galloped on his horse, leaning slightly on the horse's back with his upper body. He urged the horse under his crotch crazily, increasing his speed to the limit, and rushed into the chaotic enemy camp at the head of the horse.
The huge body of the armor-covered war horse and its extreme speed produced a huge impact. The enemy in front of him who tried to resist was knocked away at the slightest contact. As the horse charged, he slashed hard with the horizontal sword in his hand, and the blade was easy to move. Cutting apart the enemy's body, the war horse galloped forward, with broken limbs and splattered blood behind him.
Two thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy camp without any tricks. Wherever they were trampled by iron hooves, the enemy troops cried out for their fathers and mothers and fled in panic. They had no power to resist and allowed the armored cavalry to stay within their own array. Rampage, rush and attack!
Less than half a stick of incense was taken, and the enemy's formation was already penetrated.
Gao Kan urged his horses and without stopping, shouted loudly: "Don't be reluctant to fight. Leave these defeated troops to the infantry behind. You can charge with me!"
"Here!"
Two thousand warriors followed him on horseback, and with a deafening roar of promise, they continued to rush south towards the Golden Light Gate, leaving the enemy camp in disarray. Before the scattered and fleeing Guanlong army could recover, the light cavalry and infantry from the Youtun Guard came one after another, and there was another crazy charge. The Guanlong soldiers howled miserably and fled in all directions, or squatted on the ground and threw away their weapons and surrendered on the spot... …
In less than half an hour, the more than 10,000 Guanlong troops outside Kaiyuanmen were completely defeated. The army of Youtun Guards crossed the camp and headed south at full speed without stopping.
The clanking iron hooves passed through the camp like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
……
Outside the golden door.
Endless camps stretched out along both sides of the Cao River, densely packed with countless tents. Hou Mo and Chen Lin were sitting in the big tent, facing the pile of documents on the table that looked like a mountain. His eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and he did not feel the slightest joy in being promoted to the head coach and guarding the side.
In the six months since the Guanlong clan raised their troops, not only have they been unable to capture the Taiji Palace and overthrow the East Palace, they have suffered repeated defeats. Almost all the long-famous generals among the clans have withered away, and none of them are in their prime. A person who could take on a big task and made Hou Mo Chen Lin, who performed well in the army, was promoted to the position of general after Yu Wenlong was defeated and captured, commanding tens of thousands of troops outside the Jinguang Gate.
Originally, someone who could command such a large army would have to be at the level of the Sixteenth General. Which soldier has never dreamed of the day when he could command thousands of troops?
However, since sitting in this position, Hou Mo and Chen Lin have not relaxed for a day...
Tens of thousands of troops are stationed outside the Jinguang Gate. It's not just as simple as it looks like a sea of people and flags waving. He, the general, needs to take care of people's food, weapons and food every day, especially now that the entire Guanlong clan is extremely short of food. , just arranging food and supplies every day can make him exhausted.
Even tens of thousands of troops were stationed on both sides of the Cao River, and the garbage and feces produced every day were dumped into the Cao River nearby, making the waterway in and out of Chang'an City seriously polluted, turning it into a smelly ditch. The most serious thing is that so many troops need to consume a lot of drinking water. It is impossible to transport it from elsewhere. The only way is to get water nearby... Then it becomes tragic. There are only two troops in the world, Youtunwei and the Navy, to strictly order the army. Countless Guanlong soldiers outside Jinguang Gate suffered from vomiting and diarrhea due to drinking dirty water, resulting in reduced combat effectiveness, low morale, and unstable military morale.
How can one describe a state of despair?
As for the safety of Jinguang Gate, Hou Mo and Chen Lin didn't have much worry. Although all the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" entered the city to participate in the storming of Taiji Palace, there was only a group of mobs left outside Jinguang Gate at this moment, but the three sides of Chang'an City They were all surrounded by Guanlong troops, and Zhang Shigui sealed the Xuanwu Gate. The huge Chang'an City was like a huge urn, and no news could fly out. Fang Jun was in the north of the Xuanwu Gate, how could he know what was true here?
As for the army stationed at Tongguan, they have been staying for a long time. They have been sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers. They have watched the fierce fighting in Chang'an City with cold eyes. They have not expressed their position and have never taken any side. They must still be indifferent now... What if they care about the war in Chang'an? "Woye Town private soldiers" joined the siege, giving the Guanlong army in the city the ability to attack fortresses. In less than a day, they successively captured Chongming Gate and Chengtian Gate, and headed towards the Taiji Palace. Is the fall of the entire Taiji Palace still far away?
Even if Fang Jun knew the reality of Jinguang Sect by then, what would happen?
Too late.
Therefore, Hou Mo and Chen Lin are only worried about how to manage these tens of thousands of troops at the moment, and are not worried about the safety of Jinguang Sect at all.
"Bang!"
The tent door was pushed open, and a soldier rushed in with a look of panic on his face. He shouted loudly: "General, something bad is going on! The Youtun Guards brazenly attacked the military camp outside Kaiyuanmen and defeated it. They are now heading from the north. Coming from the south, it’s less than ten miles away!”
"Bang"
When Hou Mo and Chen Lin suddenly stood up, they accidentally knocked over the inkstone on the table. Black ink spread all over the hem of his clothes without knowing it. He was stunned and said: "How is this possible?"
The soldier said: "The scout has just reported back, and now he has gone out to find out the enemy's situation. It is absolutely true!"
Homo Chen Lin wiped his face, his head was buzzing, and there was only one thought in his mind - Youtunwei must have known the fact that there was no strength outside the Jinguang Gate, and he also knew that all the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" had been transferred in In the city, that's why you dare to attack Xuanwu Gate so forcefully regardless of the safety of Xuanwu Gate!
what to do?
He was completely panicked.
The combat effectiveness of the "Woye Town private soldiers" has declined rapidly over the years, and it can no longer be called outstanding in field battles. Only the defense of the city still has some combat effectiveness. With their presence, tens of thousands of Guanlong troops are assisted, and outside the Jinguang Gate, of course I dare not claim to be impregnable, but it is difficult to let the Youtun Guards cross the thunder pool. Now that there is no "Woye Town Private Army", it is just relying on these rabble. No matter how many people there are, what will happen?
How can we stop the wolf-like tigers of the Youtun Guards? How can we stop the invincible armored cavalry in the field?
After barely regaining his composure, Hou Mo and Chen Lin grabbed the horizontal sword and walked out the door, shouting loudly: "Beat the drums and gather the generals immediately, even though we will form a formation to meet the enemy!"
He is not an idiot either. His military skills are among the best among the younger generation in Guanlong. He is well aware of the importance of Jinguangmen to Guanlong's army. Once his army was defeated, Youtunwei captured Jinguangmen and knew that breaking into Chang'an City would completely reverse the entire war situation.
The Guanlong army that was attacking Taiji Palace was suddenly attacked from behind by the Youtun Guards. It was difficult to organize an effective formation to fight against it. In addition, the Youtun Guards' combat power far exceeded that of the Guanlong Army... Just think about the consequences. , Hou Mo and Chen Lin broke out in cold sweat over and over again.
"Dong, dong, dong," waves of war drums sounded rapidly, drizzle fell, dark clouds hung low, and people and horses neighed and chaos broke out on both sides of the Caohe River outside Jinguang Gate. The news that Youtunwei had broken through the Kaiyuanmen defense line and was about to arrive here spread like wildfire, causing huge panic among the army.
Since the beginning of the Guanlong clan's uprising, no matter who's army had the slightest advantage in front of the Youtun Guards, they were even defeated many times, losing countless helmets and armors, which directly led to the war situation never being able to move towards Guanlong. Progress in a favorable direction has been delayed until now.
Regarding the strong fighting power of Youtun Guards, all the Guanlong troops were afraid and their expressions changed. It was better that the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" were stationed here before, but now all the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" have entered the city. How could the rest of them, a ragtag group of people, be able to stop the Youtun Guards?
Thinking of the invincible charge of the armored cavalry, the volleys of the musketeers, the powerful power of the sky-shaking thunder, and the power of the artillery to destroy the world... The Youtun Guards are still ten miles away, and the entire Guanlong army outside the Golden Light Gate has already Heartbroken, the two sides are fighting, wishing they could break up immediately and run for their lives.
Homo Chen Lin walked out of the big tent with a horizontal sword in his hand, jumped on his horse, and looked around. He saw that the whole camp was in a turbulent mood, and the whole camp was in chaos. The gloom in his heart was even more intense, but he With the responsibility of guarding the Golden Light Gate, you can't just run away before the battle begins, right?
Facing the hastily arrived and disheveled generals from various ministries, Hou Mo and Chen Lin had no time to shout and ordered: "Assemble all ministries immediately and line up to meet the enemy!"
Before he finished speaking, the noise around him became more intense and noisy.
The Youtun Guards are here. (End of chapter)
