Chapter 115: Confrontation
In this way, after a few nights of sneak attacks, Barra vaguely felt some of the rules of the Northwest Army's siege of the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 So when it was night, Bara secretly focused his troops on the south gate, and he himself led his troops to guard the south gate. Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, shouts of killing sounded again at the south gate, and Bala had already laid a net waiting for the Northwest Army to attack the south gate.
As a result, there has been no movement at the south gate, but the sound of artillery and shouts of killing at the west gate is earth-shattering, and Bara is a little puzzled in his heart, there is an urgent report from the east gate, and the Northwest Army is attacking the east gate with all its might! Barra was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, and hurriedly led troops to rescue the east gate. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the East City Gate had already been blown open by the explosives of the Northwest Army.
On the night of December 13 of the 18th year of Jingde, the Northwest Army broke through the east gate of Jizhou City. The defenders suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the rest fled from the north gate to the territory of Warat.
The siege of Liangzhou City, the Northwest Army also played this hand, but it was a pity that it was Prince Alar who defended the city, and the main attack was Chu Tang, and the secondary attack was Xu Heng. Chu and Tang have always been leisurely in battle, Xu Heng did not have Guo Wenying's ability to be flexible and adaptable, and he played a suspicious plan for a while, and was peeped by Alar after only playing one night, and he was desperately defending the east gate for a while, and the Northwest Army did not capture it for two days, and suffered heavy losses.
In desperation, Chu Tang retreated twenty miles with his soldiers and horses, preparing to join Lu Weixin, who was fighting on the periphery.
On the 14th of December, in the hinterland of Yunqi Mountain, the sky was overcast, the north wind was dry, and a long cavalry procession passed through the vast plain, with a distance of fifty miles before and after, and every half an hour scouts Pegasus came to report the surrounding terrain and military situation.
Directly in front of the team, a war horse galloped over, and the scout on the horse did not wait for the horse to stop, he rolled down from the horse's back in a very skillful posture, rushed forward two steps with momentum, and knelt down on one knee in front of the team in front of the leader's horse, and the scout soldier had a dry breath in his voice: "Captain Yudu, there is a confrontation between two armies twenty miles ahead." ”
In the gloomy sky, a round of red sun drilled out of the clouds and hung in the sky, Lu Weixin looked at the sky, contemplated for a while, and then jumped on the horse and commanded people to go to the rescue.
In the open land, the two armies were facing each other, and the Northwest Army, which had withdrawn from Chu Tang, was encountering the main force of Wara, and the two armies were already in battle.
The Southern Qi army is arranged into a huge character formation, about a giant phalanx composed of 5,000 people, the formation is set in the array, the personnel are dense, it looks like it should be three phalanxes each with a general to lead the troops, two phalanxes on the left and right in front, a large array in the back, the flag in the formation is flying, the giant shield and spear are lined up in front of the formation, there are rows of sword and axe hands lurking behind the giant shield, and a large number of archers are shuttling in the phalanx.
Warat is a black armored cavalry with a water, pitch black armor, gloomy weather, poking there, it gives people an incomparably depressing feeling.
Lu Weixin rushed down from the mountain with his team, and crossed through the formation of the Warat people, the outflanking tactics of the Warat light cavalry were in vain, and the two sides were separated by a distance of dozens of zhang, Warat was at a loss for a moment, Lu Weixin turned his horse's head and quickly assembled the formation.
Dozens of feet away, the generals of the two sides looked at each other in the air, it was a burly middle-aged man, with two pigtails on his head, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were cruel.
Lu Weixin looked at him coldly, and the two of them raised their arms and shouted almost at the same time.
"Charge!"
"The whole team!"
Lu Weixin took the lead, and the halberd in his hand suddenly stabbed out, and the halberd pierced out of the chest of the Warat soldier, bursting out with a swollen blood flower.
"For me Nanqi, kill ......" He followed his personal guards closely behind, and burst out an earth-shattering response: "Kill ......"
The sound of killing permeated the heavens and the earth, and more people heard it, and roared with all their strength in response: "Kill ......" The Warat soldiers were shocked, this team, not afraid of the heavy armor on their bodies, dared to hit fiercely if they fit it, and they were not afraid of death.
Lu Qifang once said that Lu Weixin is a tiger who only wants to die when he fights. The tiger is already fierce, and if you don't want to die, it will be unstoppable at all. At the same time, he also commented on Chu Tang, saying that Chu Tang was a wolf with a tail between his legs. The difference between a tiger and a wolf is clear at first glance. With the same opponent and the same troops, Chu Tang can't kill it, but Lu Weixin can kill it.
The tragedy can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, the dull impact sound in the wilderness is terrifying, the hammers, broadswords, spears and other commonly used weapons in the Southern Qi army are flying, the men roar and blood splashes everywhere, black blood seeps to the ground, brains collapse, bloody and cruel.
Lu Weixin led his army to kill three in and three out, and tens of thousands of heavily armored iron cavalry were finally scattered in all directions, and the auxiliary outflanking of the light cavalry had no effect on them, and the impact was more serious than the heavy cavalry, and there were more casualties.
Finally, Lu Weixin turned the horse's head again, covered in blood, and roared out: "Strangling!"
At this time, the sharp whistle of the Warat army changed, and the two flanks spread their huge wings, outflanking and annihilating.
This time, Lu Weixin's army was rushed away, he glanced at Chu Tang, who was watching the excitement on the side, and couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "What is General Chu looking at?
Chu Tang reacted at this time, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to release the firecrackers, as soon as the huge firepower was opened, countless Warat soldiers fell under the firecrackers and ammunition, and the ranks of the Warat army began to be chaotic, and the generals roared: "The whole team!
Lu Weixin's whole body was attached to the horse's back, and he suddenly picked up his speed, spreading his four hooves like sharp arrows from a bow, and shooting out, in the center of the battlefield, the generals of the Wara army looked around in a panic, the Southern Qi army had surrounded them, but their own team was fried, and they all wanted to break through but had no formation.
Lu Weixin saw at a glance that the general of the Warat army was about to run, and with a spear in his hand, he slapped his horse and chased after him. The black-faced general with pigtails screamed "Wow Wow" in his mouth, wielding a sledgehammer and hitting Lu Weixin. Lu Weixin's marksmanship was accurate, opening and closing widely, and he picked the general under the horse in just a few rounds. Seeing that the Warat generals fell from their horses, the Southern Qi army erupted into huge cheers, and the Warat army was completely chaotic.
Counting the battlefield at night, the Southern Qi army lost more than half of its losses and annihilated 30,000 horses of the Wara army.
The siege failed, if it wasn't for Lu Weixin, he almost lost the battle again, Chu Tang also felt that his face was gloomy, he intended to be close to Lu Weixin, but Lu Weixin didn't pay much attention to him.
Lu Weixin hated his personality of leaving three points in everything, he was reluctant to play with his life in the war, and he was unwilling to give everything he had. Liangzhou City has not been captured, and now that Waratall are gathered in Liangzhou, it is not so simple to capture the city.
On 15 December, Lu Qi, the deputy general of the cavalry of the Northwest Army, led 2,000 cavalry to take the opportunity to sneak attack the large camp of grain and grass in Wara. Lu Qi's division was unfavorable and slightly damaged, leading the cavalry of the Northwest Army to retreat to the west of Jingzhou.
