Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 116 Rescue
Facing the pursuit of the 1000 plate armored infantry, the [-] soldiers of Gongsun Kang's army fled desperately. Facing the fleeing enemy, the [-] plate armored infantry only kept about [-] people, and let them all escape from the barracks.

After the enemy escaped from the barracks, Tian Yuan ordered to stop the pursuit.

They are wearing heavy armor, if they continue to chase, even if they are exhausted, they may not be able to catch up with the enemy.

Fortunately, they had killed thousands of enemies in this battle, and this result was enough for them to be happy.

And their purpose is only to set fire to the camp, there is no need to entangle with the enemy.

"Not far away, I saw thousands of Chinese troops fleeing in a hurry." Gongsun Kang's brows almost wrinkled into the word Chuan.

"My lord, the people of Youzhou want to burn down our camp. We can't let them succeed. There is half a month's food for our [-] army in the camp." After discovering the purpose of the people of Youzhou, someone rushed to the camp anxiously. Gongsun Kang said.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by this person, Gongsun Kang has already seen the purpose of the Youzhou people.

If the Youzhou people were allowed to burn down the camp and food and grass, then Gongsun Kang would not have to fight, and he would have surrendered directly.

"Pass my order, everyone will fight back with me, and we must stop them from burning the food and grass." Gongsun Kang said to everyone through gritted teeth.

At this time, almost 2 troops had been reorganized.

Gongsun Kang gave an order, and soon, the [-] troops rushed towards the camp.

At this time, the three thousand plate-armored infantry were setting fires everywhere, burning down camp buildings one after another.

Of course, some people set fire to the camp, and naturally some people stood guard on the outside.

When Gongsun Kang's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came to attack, the surrounding guards naturally quickly discovered it.

woooooo~
Suddenly, someone took out a warning horn and blew it.

At the sound of the trumpet, everyone stopped lighting their fires and gathered.

Behind them, there are countless military camps burning with fire and thick smoke, which also became their background board.

"Have you found the food and grass for the Liaodong army?" Tian Yuan asked his subordinates.

"Not yet, this camp is huge, and I can't find it for a while." Someone said.

"I can't control that much anymore, Gongsun Kang's army is here, let's retreat." Tian Yuan said to everyone.

However, just when the three thousand armored soldiers were about to retreat.

Rumble.

There was a sound of hoofs.

"Not good, some cavalry copied our rear route."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a cavalry force of thousands of people rushed out from behind the Liaodong army formation, and then went around them and ran behind them.

In this case, it is almost impossible for the three thousand armored soldiers to go back.

"How to do?"

Now, all eyes are on the countryside.

"Just wait here."

"Everyone listens to the order, forms an array on the spot, replenishes food on the spot, and preserves physical strength."

Tianyuan issued an order to stay in place.

At this moment, the back road has been cut off, and any behavior that wastes energy is not advisable.

Instead of this, it is better to line up in place and wait for the enemy's attack.

On the side of the three thousand armored soldiers, there was a burning barracks. If the Liaodong people wanted to attack, they could only attack from three directions.

However, for the three thousand plate armor infantry wearing heavy armor, it is not easy to attack in any direction.

Soon, Gongsun Kang's tens of thousands of troops came to the front of the three thousand plate armor infantry formation.

Three thousand plate-armored infantry had now formed a circular formation in the open space.

Soon, tens of thousands of Liaodong troops surrounded [-] plate armored infantry.

At this time, although Gongsun Kang had an army of tens of thousands, many soldiers were still scattered and did not find their own team at all, and many even lost their weapons.

Not far away, looking at such an army covered in iron armor from top to bottom, Gongsun Kang's heart was shaken.

At this time, the circular formation formed by three thousand plate armored soldiers, the front row is spearmen, and the spears are like a forest, which looks majestic.

This kind of long spear array is the best weapon against cavalry impact in the cold weapon era.

In the back row, there are sword and shield soldiers, specially dealing with the enemies rushing into the formation.

In the military factory at this time, Shen Kuo regretted seeing three thousand armored soldiers being surrounded.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't be greedy."

He didn't expect that Gongsun Kang's army responded so quickly, and even used cavalry to cut off the retreat of three thousand armored soldiers.

He wanted the artillery to attack the enemy, but he was afraid of accidentally hurting his own people.

Moreover, the artillery has been attacking continuously for a long time, and many of them have become too hot to shoot you for a short time.

"Brother, let the musketeers go out to rescue, if more and more enemies surround them, Tianyuan and the others will be finished." Someone said to Shen Kuo.

"This……"

Hearing this, Shen Kuo quickly weighed gains and losses in his heart.

He was thinking, even if he sent [-] Musketeers, could he save [-] Plate Armored Infantry?

If they can't be rescued, but five thousand Musketeers are sent instead, then...

"Brother, I beg for mercy to lead the Musketeers out of the city for rescue." Seeing that Shen Kuo hesitated, Chen Yichao, the leader of the Musketeers, said anxiously.

"Are you sure?" Shen Kuo asked Chen Yi.

"I'm sure." Chen Yi said firmly.

"Okay then, you can take people out of the city to rescue them." Shen Kuo said.

His eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that Chen Yi could save the three thousand armored soldiers.

Soon, five thousand Musketeers began to leave the city. According to their usual practice, they formed a square formation outside the city, and then slowly headed towards the Liaodong camp outside the city.

Naturally, the actions of the military factory cannot be hidden from Gongsun Kang's army.

At this time, from the other two sides, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had gathered towards this side, including the cavalry of the Xianbei people.

"It's not good, someone attacked the west city wall."

Not long after the Musketeers left the city, a bad news came.

It turned out that tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers stationed in the west began to attack the city.

"Hurry up, gather the young and strong people in the city to go to the west to stop the enemy from attacking the city."

"Where's the artillery? Has it cooled down? Let me target the siegeers."

Shen Kuo issued several orders in a row.

However, his face was very embarrassing.

Today, he finally realized that he had done two things wrong.

First of all, the three thousand armored soldiers should not be sent to burn the enemy camp.

Secondly, he should not have sent [-] Musketeers to the rescue.

Now, the enemy is attacking the city, but the two relatively powerful armies here are no longer in the city, which is really fatal.

Outside the city, the five thousand Musketeers will also face the biggest crisis since its establishment.

Musketeers, all of them were issued with new-style muskets, and long bayonets were installed on the barrels, which gave Musketeers the ability to fight in close combat.

At the same time, there are dozens of light field guns among the Musketeers.

Such an army, if placed in medieval Europe, would be almost invincible.

Historically, before the era of the flintlock, muskets and crossbows were almost evenly divided. However, after the flintlock came out, the crossbow was completely suppressed.

The emergence of light artillery made armor even more cumbersome.

Zhang Qingfeng has been in this world for more than ten years, and he has mastered flintlock rifles and infantry cannons as if cheating.

However, these five thousand musketeers didn't seem to realize their strength, and they were all new recruits who had never been on the battlefield.

They all relied on their blood to defend the prosperity of Youzhou from being destroyed by the Liaodong people and Xianbei people.

At this time, a Xianbei cavalry of tens of thousands of people was coming towards the formation of five thousand musketeers.

Seeing the arrival of this cavalry, many of the five thousand Musketeers trembled with fear.
