Chapter 70: The Long Street Encounter is on the verge of breaking out
Feeling the high atmosphere among the soldiers in front of the main hall, Yu Wenshi nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly: "The military heart is available." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at the excited soldiers, and then at the Sui clan daughters and Yang Guang's concubines who were bowing their heads and weeping, faintly projecting hateful eyes, Yu Wenhua and his heart moved, and then he promised the soldiers in the hall loudly:
"Do you see the nobles and concubines here? They are all noble beings that you never dared to think of before, and I didn't allow you to touch them a few days ago.
But this time, I promise you, as long as you fight bravely in battle. Then I will give them to you as your wives and concubines. ”
"Oh!" Hearing such a promise, and seeing those clans, nobles, and concubines bowing their heads and weeping, they looked very pitiful, and the impulse in the hearts of the soldiers became stronger and stronger.
Yu Wenhua is sure that if Li Qin's men and horses appear in front of them now, with the current situation of these soldiers, no matter what weapons Li Qin's soldiers use and how strong their combat power is, they will frantically rush forward and compete with them with the weapons in their hands.
No, even if they were asked to storm the enemy's military town with their bare hands, they would do it.
At this moment, they don't have so many chaotic thoughts in their hearts, and the only thought is to find the enemy, get close to the enemy, and then kill them all.
"It's a simple thought, but it's just what I use." Yu Wenhua thought so.
At present, Yu Culture divides these 30,000 people into three parts:
He selected 5,000 archers from them and handed them over to his younger brother Yuwen Zhiji.
"You are good at intriguing and scheming, and you are used to judging the situation. At present, Sima Dejia, Wei Chisheng and others are fighting hard with Li Qinjun and are in need of support. You can take these 5,000 archers with you and use bows and arrows to support Sima Dejiao and the others from the buildings on both sides of Jiangdu Street. ”
Yu Wenhua whispered to him:
"Take care of yourself, and if you can't do anything, you can slowly retreat. There are many houses in Jiangdu City, as long as you don't venture in, you can always find the location of the attack. ”
"Yes!" Yuwen responded calmly. He also knew that the situation was urgent, and there was no longer the frivolity on his face.
Seeing that Yuwen Zhihe really understood his thoughts, Yu Wenhua nodded with satisfaction, handed over the military order to him, and asked him to set off with five thousand archers first.
Yu Wenzhi and the army left.
Yu Culture and turn to Yuwen Chengdu:
"Chengdu, you are good at charging into battle, I will hand over this fifteen thousand foot soldiers to you.
My request is that you try to cooperate with Zhiji to save yourself while stalling for time.
I will take 10,000 cavalry from Miyagi to the east, and make a detour through Chunming Gate to attack Li Yuanhua's rear formation. At the speed of cavalry, it will take some time, and you're in charge of buying it for me.
I don't know what Li Yuanhua's formation is, but I'm sure he won't spread his forces too much in Jiangdu City. In that case, let's have a good fight with them for a while. ”
"Yes!" Yuwen Chengdu nodded heavily, hugged his fists to Yu Wenhua, and then led the troops away.
Looking at the backs of his two brothers leaving, Yu Wenhua had a little sentimentality and warmth in his eyes. However, such warmth was quickly replaced by firmness: "Li Qin, Li Yuanhua, is it?" A small town general actually dares to provoke my Yuwen valve, it is really unbelievable. In that case, let me use Xuan Bing Jin to completely freeze you forever. ”
Yu Wenhua whispered, and then ordered someone to bring the war horse, turned over to the seat, and waved to the 10,000 cavalry behind him: "Let's go!" Warriors of the Xiaoguo Army, let the world marvel at your bravery! ”
Yu Wenhua said, a reins of the horse galloped eastward, from the Chongming Gate on the east side of the palace city, along the tall city wall galloping horses, straight to the Chunming Gate five miles away.
At this time, under the hard work of Sima Dejiao and Wei Chisheng, Li Qinjun's progress slowed down.
After entering the city for a full hour, all Li Qin could do was to occupy a piece of the city on the east side of Chunming Gate, where Li Qin built a position, transferred the artillery outside the city into the city one by one, and sent musketeers and infantry to cooperate with the wall to sweep the defenders on the wall of Chunming Gate, and firmly defended this area.
As for the rest, Li Qin could only push forward little by little.
Although there had been reports of how many meters the team had advanced and occupied a stronghold of houses occupied by the enemy, Li Qin frowned at such progress.
"I thought it would be a battle like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, but I didn't want to...... The Xiaoguo Army is too elite. Li Qin whispered.
"The Xiaoguo Army itself is a strong army recruited by Yang Guang, and each soldier in the army can use a few kung fu skills, and he has practiced a breath of true qi, and his strength is above that of ordinary soldiers. Those who practice martial arts are bold, and although the musket you use is powerful and lethal, it cannot coax them. As long as they dare to fight and are willing to fight, the 100,000 Xiaoguo army will risk their lives, and it will indeed bring you a lot of trouble. Su Dingfang sighed and explained the current situation to Li Qin.
"The musket is indeed a very useful weapon, but here the terrain is narrow, the formation cannot be extended, and the power of the musket array line cannot be brought into play at all." Li Qin also agreed with what Su Dingfang said, but he was more concerned about the power that this kind of musket could exert in such an environment as the city.
"Sure enough, the flintlock pistol is still too primitive. It had to stand up straight and shoot...... If it was a firing gun, even if it was the earliest singles, I am afraid that there would not be such a troublesome situation. ”
Li Qin thought with a headache. He pressed his forehead and kneaded it gently, his eyes drifting to the cannon that had just been pushed in:
"Good thing I have artillery. Although I don't want to use such a big killing weapon in the city, there is no way to do it now. Hopefully, the people of the city will understand this. ”
Li Qin sighed and quickly gave an order: "Let the artillery drive forward, cooperate with the musketeers and infantry, and continue to move forward." ”
"Understood!" The herald delivered the order.
Soon the artillery rang out. Pieces of bullets flew out from the dark muzzles, like a thick nail rake, viciously beating the Xiaoguo soldiers hiding in the rooms behind the walls like rag dolls.
After a few rounds, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, who were barely gathered by Sima Dejiao and Wei Chisheng, suffered heavy casualties. Originally, their morale was not very high, and they were easily defeated in front of the powerful combat power that non-human beings could resist such as artillery. They scattered and fled, spreading the panic farther afield.
As they fled, Li Qin's army suddenly advanced much faster than before.
In just a few quarters of an hour, Li Qin's army had already advanced hundreds of zhang away.
It's just that his rush hurricane ends there. When Li Qin was about to move on, his men encountered Yuwen Zhi and Yuwen Chengdu, who came to help.
The array of Xiaoguo Army, which was neatly arrayed and had high morale, appeared in front of Li Qin completely.
Although because of the terrain itself, the streets of Yangzhou were not enough for the Xiaoguo army to pull out a wide front, so that they could only come in a small phalanx in the end, but the calmness from soldiers to generals contained a crazy bearing, which still made Li Qin's soldiers secretly frightened.
"Is this also the Xiaoguo Army? How is it completely different from just now? If those people just now were a rabble that was slightly better than the belly of the fish, then the guy who appeared in front of him now undoubtedly deserves the title of the strongest soldier in the world. Feeling the powerful aura coming from the local military town, the generals under Li Qin were secretly frightened.
"It's not easy to deal with such an enemy. Will we be able to take them down? "They don't have a lot of confidence in their hearts.
This part of the enemy was a group of men and horses from Shenji Town under Li Qin's command, a total of 250 musketeers. They saw the Xiaoguo Army Brigade coming from the street in front of them from a distance, and their hearts were shocked.
"The enemy still has a fully formed army...... This is important news. The military academy commanding this group of men and horses snorted, and while shouting and ordering his brothers to arrange the formation, he ordered someone to report the news to the rear and inform Li Qin of knowing.
The men who reported the news had already been dispatched, and the musketeers under the command of the military academy were also in formation. Because the width of the street itself was only four zhang, it was impossible for the military town of 250 people to form a phalanx of 50 people as originally trained, so the military academy adjusted the existing phalanx according to local conditions.
He shortened the front of the phalanx and divided it into twelve rows of twenty men, the first three of which were the archers: twenty men in the first row, lying on the ground, twenty men in the second row and a half crouching, and twenty men in the third row. The remaining soldiers lined up behind the shooters, providing them with loaded muskets.
Although flintlock pistols could only shoot from standing, that was a situation in which a soldier alone completed a series of preparations for reloading ammunition. At special times, such as now, when there is a constant stream of soldiers in the back providing the shooters in the front row with reloaded muskets. There is no need to be a standing player.
In fact, pulling the trigger is such a small action, whether you are willing to lie on your stomach or stand, you only need to gently pull the trigger to complete.
It would have been a fairly simple matter.
At the same time that the soldiers of Shenji Town under Li Qin discovered the Xiaoguo Army, Yuwen Chengdu also saw the team with an unusual formation on the opposite side, and also saw that they were holding his strange weapons in their hands.
"What are they going to do?" Yuwen Chengdu was puzzled. He looked at it intently, and there was a lot of curiosity in his heart.
"They don't have weapons like knives and guns. Certainly not a crossbow. What exactly is the weapon used for? Yuwen Chengdu felt strange in his heart.
If he can, he is still trying to investigate. As for now, he thought it would be better to get the damn ones away as soon as possible.
"Sima Dejiao and Wei Chisheng have actually failed? These two are such a piece of rubbish! Yuwen Chengdu scolded secretly.
His 10,000 men were originally here to cooperate with Sima Dejiao and Wei Chisheng to block the advance of Li Qin's army. According to Yu Wenhua and his own estimates, Sima Dejiao and Wei Chisheng could at least hold out here for a few hours, but they didn't want to be just a little more than an hour, and their soldiers and horses would disperse.
"What's going on?" Yuwen Chengdu was puzzled. But he didn't have the heart to think about it that much. He knew that now that Sima Dejiao and Wei Chi were defeated, his fifteen thousand people had to take the lead and take the responsibility.
"Alright! Let me see how good they are. Yuwen Chengdu whispered. With a wave of his hand, he asked the military academy around him to select elite soldiers as the vanguard, and broke through a distance of 100 zhang to attack the opponent's military formation.
This is a temptation, which is used to gauge the other person's level.
Although he heard a lot of strong words from the soldiers who fled down, Yuwen Chengdu really couldn't believe too much in his heart.
What the other party is, he only trusts his own eyes.
