Chapter 427: The Major General vs. Gandalf
"General Qiyu, there is cavalry of our army in front, saying that they are from Beijun City. A Meng sergeant stood in front of Meng Tian's horse and said with his fists clenched.
"The cavalry in Beijun City, how could they appear here, has there been any news from the vanguard of our army?" asked Meng Tian on horseback.
The scout said: "There is no news from the forward, but this cavalry said that the major general asked them to come, and said that the major general solved the cavalry of the Hu people who pursued them for them, and had already led the forward army towards the northern county town. ”
Meng Tian looked up ahead, Beijun City was still some distance away from the Chinese army led by him, and the sun was about to set at this time, and he was a little nervous about reaching the outside of Beijun City before dark.
Wang Li said to Meng Tian: "Big brother, there are so many Hu people outside the city of Beijun, Tianci may be in danger, why don't I lead a group of men and horses over first?"
Meng Tian nodded, and he said, "That's fine, this kid is the first time to go to the battlefield, and he doesn't know how powerful the Hu people are." You lead a troop of men first, and we will arrive later. ”
Wang Li galloped away with 10,000 horses, and Meng Tian said to Meng Li: "Today has been a day's journey, we haven't arrived at the North County Town yet, I'm afraid that the North County Town may be lost if we go late." So I want the cavalry to rush over first, and you guys are behind with the footmen, what do you think?"
"It's okay, if we continue to rush like this, even if we go outside the city of Beijun, our soldiers will not be the opponents of the Hu people. Rest assured, the general, we will definitely appear outside the North County City early tomorrow morning. ”
The cavalry of the northern county city was destroyed, the siege vehicles of the Hu people kept hitting the city gate, and there were Hu archers under the city who were aiming at the Qin soldiers on the city wall, and in the face of the enemy's attack, the Qin army in the city could only defend passively.
"General, the city gate is running out. A soldier ran up the wall and said to Abra.
"What?" said Abra, who was shocked at this, "for whatever reason, you must guard the gates for me, you damned Hu." "The defense on the city wall is basically useless, and the enemy seems to see it, and he does not attack the city wall at all, but only blindly attacks the city gate. Abra came down from the city wall and went to the city gate, looking at the city gate that was almost cracked, he drew his weapon and prepared for battle, and all the soldiers guarding the city gate also clenched their weapons and looked nervously at the city gate.
"Knock", "knock", "bang", the city gate finally couldn't withstand the impact of the huge crashing wood, and was finally smashed into several halves.
When the Hu people outside the city saw that the city gate had finally been knocked open, they shouted in unison, and then threw the crashing wood aside, and rushed towards the city gate with a loud cry in their mouths.
"Set up, take care of the defense!archers, shoot!" Abra commanded loudly. In front of him, strong shields of equal height stood in front of him, behind them were soldiers with halberds in both hands, and finally archers with Abra.
With Abra's order, the archers beside him shot the only remaining arrows in the quiver behind him towards the Hu people who rushed into the city gate. The Hu men who rushed into the gate of the city were dressed in some colorful armor and brandished a long knife in their hands, and before they could pass through the gate, an arrow shot from the gate pierced the heart and fell to the gate.
Although their companions were killed in battle, the Hu people in the back still did not stop advancing, and they continued to march towards the city gate, even the corpses of their companions who fell to the ground in front of them did not care, and directly stepped on them and rushed into the city gate.
Finally passed through the city gate, and behind the city gate, more than 10,000 Beijun soldiers set up a formation in a half-moon shape, waiting for the Hu people to rush over.
The Hu soldiers rushed to the Qin army standing with their shields raised, and slammed straight into the shields. Just as they were about to hit the shield, the shield suddenly cracked open one after another, and weapons they had never seen before stretched out from it, and the sharp halberd tips directly penetrated their bodies, and then quickly retracted, and then the shield closed tightly.
Among the Hu people who rushed in, there were also many people with shields in their hands, and they held their shields in front of their chests and slammed into Qin Jun's shield, but after hitting them, let alone crashing away, the other party just shook it slightly, and then a long knife stretched out from behind the shield, cutting their throats.
The four gates were breached almost at the same time, but the Hu people encountered the same encounter at all four gates, that is, the Qin army's strong shield array, and the news soon reached the ears of Sang Kun and Gandalf, who were in command in the rear.
Because he had destroyed the cavalry that had been rushed out of the county, Gandalf did not go back immediately, but commanded the overall situation with Sangkun. Sang Kun was very surprised that Gandalf destroyed the Qin cavalry, and after Gandalf came to him, he kept patting the warrior's horses, and even said that Gandalf was the first warrior in the Western Regions. Sang Kun didn't refute after hearing this, but just laughed on the side.
"Great chief, our people encountered resistance from the Qin army in the city, although the city gate was breached, but the Qin army's defense behind the city gate was very strong, and our soldiers could not rush through. Haruki rode over from the city gate and reported to Gandalf and Abra that they had encountered resistance from the Qin army after breaking through the gate.
Before Sang Kun could speak, another soldier ran over and said, "Report to the Great Chief, I found the reinforcement cavalry of the Qin army at the south gate, which was rushing towards us. ”
Reinforcements from the Qin army arrived? Sang Kun hurriedly asked, "How many reinforcements have come from the other side?"
"It was observed that there were about five thousand people. ”
"Five thousand people dare to run to their deaths? Brother Gandalf, do you want to teach the other party's cavalry another lesson? I'll deal with the Qin army inside the city, and you will deal with the ones outside the city?" Sang Kun said to Gandalf with a smile, he didn't expect that only five thousand people came, which seemed to be a bit contemptuous of himself.
Gandalf hummed, and he held out his hand, and his men placed the spear he was using in Gandalf's hand. Gandalf picked up the shield that he used as a cushion and said to Sang Kun: "Okay, just do as you say, and see if you are the first to attack the city, or if I will destroy the Qin cavalry first." ”
Gandalf led his men to the south gate, and Sangkun looked at Gandalf's back, a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew that the cavalry of the Qin army was powerful, otherwise he would not have suffered such a big loss on the grassland, and this time the Qin army must have come to reinforce more than these 5,000 people, so let Gandalf, a brave and unscrupulous fool, go to death, and then he will lead all the Hu people to defend the northern county city, and they can attack and retreat, why not.
"Major General, in front of you is the south gate of Beijun, it seems that the Hu people should have broken through the city gate. Meng Tianci led the cavalry to the battlefield of the south gate of the Beijun City, but they had already seen the Hu people start to rush into the city gate in a steady stream, and it was obvious that the Beijun City had been breached.
Meng Tianci nodded, he knew that his two grandfathers were still in the city, for what he promised his mother, Meng Tianci gritted his teeth and said: "Give me a rush, you must rush into the city of Beijun, and tell the people inside that the reinforcements have arrived." ”
"Yes, rush!" With an order, after a short rest, five thousand cavalry rushed towards the northern county town.
With a whoosh, Meng Tianci heard a scream behind him, and he looked sideways, and behind him a soldier fell from his horse with a spear in his chest, and in front of them on his right, a strangely dressed man and horse with a shield and spear rushed towards them.
Because it was a foot soldier, Meng Tianci did not take these people in his eyes, he raised the spear in his hand and pointed at the men and horses coming towards them, and the cavalry behind Meng Tianci were all concerned, turned the horse's head slightly, and killed this group of men and horses.
Gandalf rushed to the front, he threw a spear and knocked one of the enemy's cavalry off his horseback, and then, seeing the other man change direction and rush towards them, he stopped and shouted: "Resist the enemy!"
When the Guards heard this, they also stopped, and then held their shields in front of them, and their spears were placed sideways, ready to respond.
Meng Tianci took the lead, riding on his horse and rushing in front of the Hu people's foot soldiers, the spear in his hand stretched out at an incredible angle, and without waiting for the guard to react, the spear was directly pierced into his throat. Meng Tianci quickly pulled out his spear, and then the war horse under his crotch directly knocked the body of the newly dead guard away.
These guards had a lot of experience in fighting cavalry, except for Meng Tianci and some cavalry, more cavalry were still killed from horses by the spears and shields of the guards, and although the formation of the guards was not as strong as the Qin army in the city, it also successfully blocked the path of the Qin cavalry and made them stop the charge.
Meng Tianci killed a Hu man with another spear, and he clearly heard a loud shout behind him, and then his war horse neighed, raised its two front hooves, and almost tore him off the horse. The war horse fell to one side, and Meng Tianci knew that his war horse had been killed by the enemy, so he hurriedly left the horse's back, rolled on the ground, and then saw a large man covered in blood staring at him.
Meng Tianci stood up and felt the enemy's powerful aura, this was the first time he had fought with such a strong person, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he was also a little eager to try.
Gandalf stabbed the general's horse to death with a single spear, knocking the man off his horse, but the man reacted quickly and was not hit by the horse.
Looking at each other, both sides knew that this was a battle of either death or me.
Gandalf smashed the shield with the blood-stained spear in his hand, and then rushed towards Meng Tianci with a quick pace. Not to be outdone, Meng Tianci also waved his spear to meet it.
