Chapter 131: The Battle of Chulu III
Zhong Shaoyu looked at Xiang Yiming's back, and his eyes showed expectation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info facing the army of about 100,000 under the city, he didn't pay attention to it at all. With such a rammed earth city wall, even if the number of Chu troops is more than half, it will not be easy to capture it.
"Youming, the famous Iron Rider of the Xuan Kingdom, wants to see how you tear the hunter's net. Zhong Shaoyu read softly. If Xiang Yiming's iron cavalry disappoints him, he will not hesitate to close the gate when the enemy army is surrounding the city gate again, abandoning the weaker allies.
Under the city, hundreds of soldiers on the side of the trebuchet a hundred meters away were exerting all their strength, operating dozens of reins, and putting large stones forward. In front of them, dozens of soldiers braved a group of arrows like a rain, pushing the hook cart slowly towards the edge of the city wall.
The five thousand heavily armored iron horsemen in the Youming Legion lined up at the gate of the city, and each knight polished the heavy sword Changge in his hand, looking at the arrival of the knight king - Xiang Yiming, who hunted from the street.
The fierce horse with the moire iron armor roared and neighed, and the knights on horseback looked at Xiang Yiming who was approaching, and they all held bronze gee heavy swords and shouted, "I have seen General Xiang, and we are willing to follow him to the death." ”
In front of the cavalry on both sides, he rode his horse to the gate of the city, Xiang Yiming in the roar of the heavily armored knight, he violently tore the light clothes covered under the iron armor, bit his fingers, and wrote the word "Youming" on the cyan cloth strip with blood, as a forehead tie, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted in front of the five thousand iron horsemen, "Kill me out, raise my soul of "Youming"!"
The wind is strong, and the hair is hot.
"The iron cavalry will not die, and the battle flag will last forever! I am willing to raise my soul with the general." ”
All the knights raised their arms and shouted, and their eyes under the bronze helmets were like burning coals.
The soldiers of the Lu State guarding the city looked at this cavalry army from the north, their hearts were shocked, and they gradually opened the city gate silently. Then Xiang Yiming and his horse took the lead and rushed out.
The besieging Chu army was stunned, facing the city gate that actually opened automatically, they couldn't react for a while, and then they didn't know who yelled "rush" in the ranks, and they immediately rushed towards the city gate.
Smoke and dust billowed and faced the Chu army that rushed over. The heavily armored knights on horseback divided into ten columns and lined up in a line and rushed directly to kill them.
"Hah... Ha, God help me!" Li Hao laughed loudly and ordered the crossbowmen to advance forward under the protection of the shield-bearers, and shoot the iron horsemen out of the city.
Above the city, the "Eye of the Cloud Pattern" of the Lu State, under Zhong Shaoyu's order, opened the hard bow in unison, forced the shooting, and the Chu army continued to move forward, and the crossbowmen continued.
The Chu army that rushed up was terrified in their hearts after coming into contact with this heavy armored horseman. They felt that the cavalry in front of them was like a flood in the middle of summer, unstoppable.
Almost the moment the former army came into contact with the heavy armor of Youming, they were instantly rushed away, the armor was shattered, and the whole person flew away.
Looking at the Chu army that did not dare to rush forward again, the ten columns of the Youming heavy armored knights immediately dispersed and rushed towards the Chu army besieging the city under the city.
In less than a moment, the Chu army that was rushing forward changed direction and ran backwards desperately. Li Hao saw it in front of the army, and yelled angrily, "Those who take a step back, cut off!"
The siege vanguard of the Chu army heard Li Hao's roar, he looked towards Xiang Yiming before the hook car, gritted his teeth and came with a snake spear in his hand, shouted violently, and stabbed Xiang Yiming with a spear.
Xiang Yiming heard the roar, he looked coldly at the vanguard of the Chu army coming towards him, rode away, and clashed back and forth among the ten thousand armies, like a wolf entering a herd of lambs.
The two clashed, and in less than three hours, Xiang Yiming slashed at the vanguard of the Chu army to the horse, and looked at Li Hao in the distance.
"Forward!"
Seeing Xiang Yiming's provocative gaze, Li Hao shouted angrily, the heavily armored spearmen holding shields neatly pressed forward, and the light horsemen on both wings rode out.
Knee-high dust rises in a long way. The sonorous sound accompanied the spearmen raising their spears and shields and suddenly resounded under the city.
Above the city, Zhong Shaoyu, who was holding a bronze sword with both hands folded, looked at the spearmen of the Chu army. His calm eyes turned away to look at Xiang Yiming, who had never changed color, "The general who galloped on the battlefield back then, his descendants are people with sharp minions after all!"
Zhong Shaoyu sighed slightly, and couldn't help but think of the man who rushed towards the military horses of the Six Kingdoms. He turned his head to look at a general of the Lu State beside him, "General Hao Zhe, you lead the military horse down to meet the Chu army for a while!"
When Hao Zhe heard Zhong Shaoyu's command, there was a stunned look in his expression. Now the Chu army is strong, and their Lu army is weak, so they should strictly guard the city.
"King, there are still Jiang Kui's 100,000 military horses behind Li Hao, I heard that Shen Ling, a famous general of the Chu State, is coming, and our army should be..."Hao Zhe bowed, raised his head to look at Zhong Shaoyu, and said cautiously.
"Eh, General Hao Zhe understands that a sheep that does not dare to kill and counterattack can only be sheep and prey for the rest of its life!" Zhong Shaoyu raised his hand to interrupt Hao Zhe's unfinished words, "Only the prey that dares to kill and counterattack can survive forever and transform into a high hunter." I want my army to be the prey that dares to fight back!"
Hearing Zhong Shaoyu's words, Hao Zhe's body trembled slightly, and the king's eyes were a little majestic and sad.
"Yes, the last general wants to be a hunter!" Hao Zhe knelt down on one knee in front of Zhong Shaoyu, and shouted loudly as if he had sworn an oath.
After a while, he stood up, went to the bottom of the city, and rushed out with 50,000 military horses.
For a while, the sound of rhino horns on the battlefield sounded thick and vigorous, and ten thousand troops rushed out. In the face of the neat pace of the Chu army, he rushed directly to the past, and did not put on any formation, trying to tear up everything on the other side in the most savage way.
Xiang Yiming looked at Hao Zhe's figure, he smiled heartily and led the heavily armored men of a thousand horsemen towards the Chu army.
Although the Chu army was a little stunned by the sudden behavior of the Lu army, after a while, they reacted and quickly lined up in formation against the rushing Lu army.
The two armies fought, and the heavy armored cavalry of Youming was simply not enough time for the Chu army to line up, and they directly swept over with a devastating momentum.
When the front army of Chu State had just stabilized, the reinforcements from Hao Zhe of Lu State also arrived at this time and rushed over directly. Suddenly, the soldiers under the city rushed to kill. In the thick of the smoke, one soldier after another fell, like two floods rushing together in opposite directions, each rushing towards the other in a flood of mountains and seas.
