Chapter 12 [Whirlwind Assault]
Listening to Li Zhutou's words, the magistrate of Songyang County groaned, "Do you have a good plan to save Songyang?" β
When Li Zhutou heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Lord Zhixian, I am willing to lead the Songyang army out of the city and fight to the death with the invading enemy." β
The magistrate of Songyang County asked: "What are your chances of winning?" The gaze in his eyes was sharp.
Li Zhutou was stunned, "This ......"
Seeing this, Tang Lang couldn't help but sneer.
Li Zhutou glared at Tang Lang with his eyes, "Why are you laughing?" β
Tang Lang sighed and said: "There is a cloud in "The Art of War": 'The husband is counted as the winner without a fight, and the victory must be counted; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! This means that before the war begins, if it is well planned, the battle will be won; If you don't plan carefully, you will often lose the battle. Only by analyzing the situation of both the enemy and the enemy can we achieve victory; One less item of analysis can lead to failure. Not to mention that there was no pre-war planning at all, and it was like going to die. β
"You-"
Li Zhutou clenched the Mo knife in his hand, and pointed at Tang Lang with his other hand.
"I'm telling the truth. The courage of the vain man has not only harmed you, but also the brothers who have followed you in battle. Tang Lang had something to say.
Li Zhutou was obviously unconvinced, "Isn't it the courage of the four of you to form an assault team in vain?" β
"Hahaha......"
Tang Lang laughed wildly for a while before he said, "Didn't you see that I had already analyzed the various situations between the enemy and me with the magistrate just now?" I've already figured it out. β
The magistrate of Songyang County saw that Tang Lang actually said the ancient wisdom in "The Art of War", and knew that he was a heroic man in the recklessness, and he didn't dare to despise Tang Lang, knowing that he had learned something and was not a person who sold his reputation and reputation, so he said to Li Zhutou: "There is no need to argue...... Then follow Tang Lang's plan. β
For a moment there was nothing to say.
β¦β¦
On the upper floor of the south gate of Songyang City.
Tang Lang, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun looked at the city together.
At this time, the handcuffs and shackles on their bodies had been untied, they were put on iron helmets and iron armor, and they were each holding weapons. Cheng Yanjin is good at using horse lances, and he is also holding a vajra horse lance in his hand. And Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun, each holding a Mo knife.
Under the city of Songyang, the murderous spirit was soaring, and the 1,000 elite cavalry sent by Wang Ren, under the banner of "Zheng", were obviously making the final preparations for launching an attack.
Tang Lang looked at the enemy army under the city, frowned slightly, and said to Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Xiaohu, and the old army: "It seems that the intelligence is wrong, and there are at least more than 1,500 enemies who come to attack. β
The veteran asked, "How so?" β
Tang Lang looked at the army under the city tower and said, "Under the south gate of Songyang City, there are at least 1,000 elite cavalry, and outside the eastern, northern, and western gates of Songyang City, there are also hundreds of cavalry each. Therefore, I dare to conclude that Wang Renze must have sent 1,500 cavalry this time. And the south gate of Songyang City is the main attack point they have chosen. β
The old soldier listened and nodded.
Cheng Yanjin said loudly: "What if there are more cavalry coming? Let's go down and kill them. β
"Waitβ"
Tang Lang pointed to the 1,000 elite horsemen under the city and said, "Look, they are about to attack. β
I saw that in the Zheng army under the city, more than 200 horse archers took the lead in rushing out of the queue, screaming and rushing towards Songyang City, like wind and fire.
The strong bows in their hands kept shooting sharp arrows at the defenders on the city walls.
Behind the more than 200 horse archers were the Zheng army infantry with shields, carrying more than a dozen ladders and braving the wind and sand, bravely and quickly marching.
Seeing that the Zheng army launched an attack, the magistrate of Songyang County hurriedly ordered a battle.
The city tower of Songyang City, the war drums are beating.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The sound of the drums stirred people's hearts and became excited, and the blood ran in the body of every Songyang Army soldier. The wind and sand are vast, the battle flag is half rolled, and every soldier is ready for a fierce battle.
The Songyang army infantry archers on the Songyang city wall also immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot fiercely at the roaring Zheng cavalry.
In an instant, arrows rained down on the sky.
The Songyang army's hard crossbow was more powerful than the bow and arrow, and it immediately caused a certain amount of damage to the Zheng army.
In addition, the Songyang Army has prepared wooden artillery stones.
Cheng Yanjin shouted excitedly: "Tang Lang, let's fight immediately!" β
Tang Lang said unhurriedly: "When the Zheng army's infantry erects the cloud ladder on the wall of Songyang City, it will be a great opportunity for us to go out of the city and assault. - Let's get down to the city now! β
When Zhang Xiaohu saw Zheng Jun's soldiers, his eyes were already red, and his heart was even more bloody, and he couldn't wait to kill a few Zheng Jun soldiers immediately and extinguish Wang Renze's prestige.
As soon as the four of them came down from the south gate tower of Songyang City, they rode on the war horses that had been prepared for them a long time ago, and galloped towards the city gate.
Cheng Biting Jin rode in front of him, holding a Vajra horse lance tightly in his right hand. Behind him, on the left and right, Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu were holding Mo knives. And the old army is behind Cheng Yanjin, Tang Lang, and Zhang Xiaohu, and is in charge of the palace.
This formation was set by them a long time ago.
Each of them has their own clear division of labor - Cheng Yanjin is responsible for attacking directly and fighting a bloody way; Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu were responsible for guarding Cheng Yanjin's left and right flanks to assist the attack; The veteran army mainly protects the backs of the three.
The four horsemen were like a hurricane wind, and they galloped to the south gate of Songyang City in an instant.
"Open the door!"
From afar, Cheng Yanjin began to drink loudly.
The sergeants guarding the south gate of Songyang City had already received orders from the magistrate of Songyang County, and they saw Cheng Yanjin, Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and the old army rushing on four war horses, and hurriedly opened the city gate.
When the gate guard sergeant opened the city gate, Tang Lang reminded Cheng Yanjin again: "General Cheng, you must not fall in love with war, our assault this time is to take the head of the main general who led the Zheng army!" β
Cheng Yanjin promised: "I naturally know." β
Tang Lang knew that this assault operation of the four of them could only succeed, and once it failed, the four of them would be frantically chopped into pulp by the Zheng army's cavalry.
He casually looked behind him, and the elite of the Songyang Army, five hundred Mo swordsmen, were ready to go, and thousands of militia armed with various blades were also close behind.
Once Cheng Yanjin cut off the head of the main general of the Zheng army, the defenders of Songyang City will send a signal to the Songyang army in the city, asking them to go out of the city and take advantage of the situation to cover the killing.
At this time, the south gate of Songyang City suddenly opened!
"Whoever fights with me is my brother! - Brothers, rush! β
Cheng Biting Jin, who was riding a tangled war horse, suddenly shouted excitedly, raised the horse lance in his hand, rushed forward, and kicked out the door.
Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun hurriedly urged the war horses and followed closely behind.
"Rush!"
Tang Lang also roared.
Originally, this kind of charge relied on a fierce spirit in the chest.
Seeing Cheng biting Jin and Tang Lang shouting, Zhang Xiaohu also roared suddenly: "Kill!" β
The old army also seems to have been infected, he was originally a war-weary person, but at this time, the fighting spirit in his heart is surging.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! β
The old army said five words "kill" in a row.
As soon as the four war horses rushed out of Songyang City, the gate guards immediately closed the city gate.
Outside the city, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.
The infantry of the Zheng army had already erected the ladder on the wall of Songyang City, and many Zheng soldiers who were not afraid of death were carrying shields on their heads and storming the city wall.
As soon as Cheng Yanjin came out of the south gate, he met a Zheng cavalry who came to show off his might.
He stabbed the horseman with a lance, and then stabbed the horseman off his horse.
The horse's hooves trampled past the dead Zheng cavalryman.
-- A horse lance is actually a spear that is used immediately. It can be used by generals to charge on horseback or engage in a variety of hand-to-hand combat.
Cheng Yanjin has always been a military general who is good at using horse lances. Now, the Vajra lance in his hand is three meters long, and the sharp edge is extremely sharp.
When the cavalry of the Zheng army saw the four horses rushing out of the city, they all stepped forward to stop them.
"Shoot the arrows! - Don't go away from these thieves who are out of town! β
All of a sudden, Zheng Jun's horse archers shot arrows like flying locusts at Tang Lang and his party.
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly waved his horse lance with both hands, intercepted those arrows, and shot them down.
However, the bows and arrows of the Zheng army's horse archers soon lost their effect, and the four of them, Cheng Yanjin, Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun, had already rushed into the Zheng army's cavalry array and began to slash and kill.
Cheng Biting Jin danced the Vajra horse lance, like a wild dragon piercing the clouds, and successively picked out four or five Zheng cavalry.
The rest of the Zheng cavalry, seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was coming, all dodged to both sides, like a wave splitting, and gave way in the middle.
Cheng bit Jin's legs, and the war horse rushed into the cavalry of the Zheng army, and attacked fiercely towards the place where the Zheng army's general flag was erected.
Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu brandished Mo knives and slashed and killed the Zheng cavalry who had hid on both sides.
ββMo knife is a double-edged long knife, extremely sharp. He is a kind of blade developed from the Western Han Dynasty horse sword, and when he slashes cavalry on the battlefield, he is quite majestic and invincible.
The Mo knife is usually used by infantry, but cavalry is also useful.
However, Mo knives are usually heavier.
The Mo knife held by Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun weighed more than 20 catties, and whenever it was wielded, it was a little inconvenient, but its slashing power was amazing.
Zhang Xiaohu danced the Mo knife, killed the surname, stepped on the horse's hooves, and rushed all the way.
And although Tang Lang has also practiced some firearm routines, this is the first time he has wielded the Mo knife, although the tentacles are heavy, he only attacks one side, and he is still slightly able to deal with it.
Although Tang Lang is on the side to assist Cheng Yanjin in attacking, whenever Tang Lang encounters danger, Cheng Yanjin can always stab a horse lance to relieve him.
This made Tang Lang's heart very grateful.
And the four war horses they rode on were always glued together, fighting towards the depths of Zheng Jun's array!
