Breaking the Game (1)

Yong'an City is a small city with a radius of less than five miles, backed by Taishi Creek. Taishi Creek is an important tributary of the Min River, originating from Dawuyi Mountain, before bypassing Yong'an, it is called Jiulong Creek, flowing from the northwest to the southeast. After the water touched Yong'an City, it suddenly became more urgent, turned a nearly right-angled bend, turned around and went northeast, until it joined the Min River.

After the captivity army took Fujian, the Prime Minister's Mansion vigorously promoted handicrafts and commerce, and Taishi River became an important transportation waterway connecting Tingzhou, Nanjian and Fuzhou because of its strange direction. Ninghua, Qingliu, Shaxian, Sanming, the specialties, handicrafts and mineral deposits of several small cities along the way are transported to the Minjiang River along the stream, and then loaded into sea ships from Fuzhou and transported to the north and south. Grain, cloth, spices, and books brought by the merchants were also transported along the streams to various regions upstream.

Yong'an is at the inflection point of Taishi Creek, and its role is becoming increasingly prominent. Fujian is mountainous, and it is not easy to transport materials. Controlling this city is equivalent to controlling the waterway connecting Tingzhou and Nanjianzhou. Control of the waterways is equivalent to control the civilian commodity passage and the logistics supply of the army.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office specially set up a shipping route security and tax inspection agency in Yong'an, and allocated funds to build a layer of stones outside the earthen walls of Yong'an City. As a result, these unintentional actions came in handy at a critical moment.

Xiao Mingzhe put his hands on the battlements, and suppressed the anger in his heart with the help of the stinging pain of the edges and corners of the masonry rubbing against the palms. Since he took the initiative to fight and was defeated by Da Chun and returned here, he has hardly closed his eyes for several days. Not only him, but almost all the soldiers in Fujian couldn't sleep, as soon as they closed their eyes, they saw the blood in their eyes, the elderly, young children, men, women, and the corpses that had been tortured and killed seemed to be placed in front of them. At the same time, the helpless cries of the people sounded in his ears. The voice, like a blazing fire, burned his soul and kept him awake.

The sky in the west was red and bright, and the sunset seemed to be on fire. The emerald green mountains and rivers are also gilded with a layer of gold by the glow of the sun, and the unknown streams not far from the city are reflected together, forming a quiet golden world. On the outer side of the world, there were several layers of lead-gray clouds, wisps, from the sky to the earth, the fog was condensed, and the farther away it became, the thicker it became. As far as the eye can see, it is condensed into huge columns of smoke, slowly approaching with the evening breeze, constantly swallowing the range of the glow.

That was the route that the Yuan army passed, and only they would be like a plague of locusts, ruining the places they passed through lifeless. They are the only ones who will be immersed in killing and destruction tirelessly.

The horn sounded desolate in the twilight. From west to east, wolf smoke rose one after another from several peripheral observation posts. With the sound of the trumpet, the earth began to tremble. A large group of war horses appeared on the horizon, black battle armor, red battle flags, scimitars reflecting golden light, and swept across the field like locusts.

The wind blowing on the city changed the taste in an instant, sticky, with a lingering smell of blood and sheep's flesh. The call of the lookout hand was carried far away by the wind, "Enemy attack, cavalry, Mongolian cavalry!" ”。 One after another, it made people's hearts chill slightly.

A few young men who volunteered to stay behind to assist the Breaker Army in defending the city shrank for a moment, and their faces turned a little pale. They had never seen the might of the Mongols, but it was only after listening to the cries of the fleeing people that their blood was aroused. However, the blood in the past is so weak compared to the current troops. Someone looked up at the nearby Breaker soldiers, and their heels began to push back.

"Cannon demonstration" Xiao Mingzhe shouted, and slapped his hand heavily.

The herald immediately blew the horn of engagement, and several soldiers of the Broken Army walked to the enemy tower and raised a string of dark yellow horn flags in the air.

"The enemy's general cannon is ready!"

"The left corner of the general artillery is ready!"

"The right corner of the general cannon is ready!"

"Melee light artillery ready!"

The crisp shout was echoed through the thunderous sound of horses' hooves. Xiao Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction and handed the order flag in his hand to Wu Kang. Wu Kang received the order in hand, quickly ran to the artillery in the middle of the enemy building, and commanded a few words loudly. The chief gunner took out a red flag, waved it, and slashed it down in the air.

There was a loud bang, and a thick smoke flew out with a huge fireball and smashed into the enemy horses that came from afar. All the sounds fell silent for a moment, and when the ears returned to hearing, the sound of the horses' hooves abruptly stopped, and was replaced by the mournful neighing of the horses.

The young man who volunteered to stay turned around and ran up the city wall, ignoring the admonition of the soldiers of the Broken Army, and squeezed to the battlement to look out. Two miles away, the locust-like cavalry stopped, and the smoke and dust from the horses' hooves solidified above their heads. Countless horses circled restlessly, and it was clear that the Mongols were stunned and did not know how to react.

"Close shot, a thousand steps ahead, the first group, three guns in unison!" Just as everyone was excited about the might of the giant cannon, Wu Kang's shout sounded around him again. Immediately afterward, the roar resumed, and the pungent smell of sulfur was overwhelming. After the smoke cleared, three black mud pits were placed in front of the Mongol horse team, and at the edge of the mud pit were discarded a few pieces of tattered armor. More than a dozen war horses were frightened, overturned their owners on their backs, and ran desperately in the direction they came. The whole cavalry was scattered by the startled horses, and gathered into a few lumps in a chaotic manner.

"Oh!" The young men shouted excitedly at the top of the city, and the feeling of fear was swept away. Some people shouted and made all kinds of disdainful gestures to the city, regardless of whether the opponent could see it at such a distance.

At this moment, two groups of Mongol warriors in dark red cloaks ran out of the Yuan army, one to meet the frightened war horses, and the other to the fallen riders.

"What are they doing?" Someone shouted in surprise. is too far away, you can only see the figure clearly, and the opponent's movements cannot be seen carefully.

"Don't let them save people, quick, fire, fire!" Someone ignored military discipline and reminded Wu Kang loudly. As soon as the words fell, I saw a cold light flashing under the red cloak. The frightened horses fell one after another. Immediately followed by the people who fell off the horse, whether they were lying on the ground or trying their best to chase the horses, they were all greeted by the cold light!

"They're killing their own people?" The young men were stunned. Everyone said that the Yuan army was cruel, but they didn't expect that they would even kill their own people.

The smoky wind of early autumn blows through the battle flag, making people feel cold to the bone.

"Quartermaster, take the people down. Don't risk them when you don't need to transport shells! Xiao Mingzhe's voice sounded just right. Several officers in charge of transporting shells to the city stepped forward and advised the people to take shelter for the time being. Whenever the Yuan army comes to the city, they like to storm Liwei first, and tonight's killing has just begun.

"Beasts!" An older man sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Worse than beasts!" Someone chimed in in a trembling voice. In an instant, they understood the full meaning of the words "leading beasts and cannibals" that had often been on the lips of the storytellers in the teahouse for a year. At the same time, there was a bit of sadness and desolation in my heart, and it was indeed better to die in battle in the hands of these beasts.

"Give each of them a knife when needed!" Xiao Mingzhe put down the binoculars and whispered to the soldiers around him in a voice that others couldn't hear. He saw the scene that had just happened in the enemy army clearly. Zhang Hongfan used connivance with soldiers to kill innocents indiscriminately to boost morale, and at the same time, he also used killing to maintain order in the army.

After rectifying the order of the army, the Yuan army quickly withdrew out of the range of artillery. Under the arrangement of low-ranking generals, the cavalry was dispersed into hundreds of groups of ten people. The sparse formation makes the number of soldiers appear larger and the lineup larger. A general in a golden helmet and armor rode his horse back and forth in front of the battle, saying something loudly in Mongolian as he ran. The soldiers who had calmed down replied with howls, and every time the gold-armored general shouted, they howled.

"Uhh There were bursts of echoes from the nearby mountains, "Woo-ah-", "Woo-ah---", and so on. It was like a group of lone wolves seeing the moonlight, desolate, revealing bloodthirsty cruelty.

"They are mobilizing before the war, probably talking about killing all the men, burning the houses, and not sealing the knife for a few days!" Yang Xiaorong, supported by the two soldiers, moved to Xiao Mingzhe's side and whispered in a low voice.

Xiao Mingzhe's pupils contracted suddenly, and heavy flames jumped out of his eyes. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to Yang Xiaorong: "General Yang, can you repeat what you just said to everyone out loud!" ”

"Okay!" Yang Xiaorong smiled bitterly and stood on the shell box. With his hands in his mouth, he said loudly: "Brother, I did it over there, and the Tartars are mobilizing." The meaning of these words is, kill all the men, burn all the houses, **all the women......"

"Uhhh

More than 10,000 iron riders swept across the field like the wind.

At the top of the city, cannonballs whistled and flew up, dragging long cigarette tails into the Yuan army, overturning the cavalry and war horses together. Near the crater, flesh and smash armor were scattered all over the ground. The cavalry around them did not look at it, their heads against their horses' necks, their buttocks cocked from their saddles, and the bowstrings in their hands kept beating their horses' backs.

The war horse, which was pushed to the limit, rushed hard, forgetting the fear, forgetting the death that was close at hand, moving forward, constantly moving forward.

The drums of war thundered in the distance, drowning out the roar of the bursting shells and drowning out the wails and ** of the wounded.

"Watch the distance, watch the distance!" Wu Kang kept running around the city, reminding his gunners of the landing of the shells. The gunners had no good way to deal with high-speed moving targets, but they could only concentrate the power of several guns as much as possible to create a death zone in the enemy's army. However, in the interval between the shell fire, the death zone was quickly crossed by the cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy had rushed to within three hundred paces and entered the dead end of several heavy guns.

"Light artillery, light artillery padded the tail of the gun, firing at close range. Throwers ready, throwers ready! Wu Kang heard his hoarse shout, and the salty taste came up in his throat. Compared with the previous battles, the tactics of the Yuan army this time were much more flexible, and the weaknesses of the artillery were also understood much more clearly. Obviously, the losses caused by Li Guida's surrender to the broken army were not just temporary strategic passivity.

More than a dozen light cannons added to the city quickly sprayed the flames of death, and each shot could hit three or five war horses. And the Yuan army, which was not affected by the shells, was like crazy, without fear, and only cared about approaching and approaching the city wall.

"Archer, prepare!" Xiao Mingzhe shouted loudly. The herald raised a string of square-shaped banners with bows and arrows painted on them. Before he could give the order to shoot, Yang Xiaorong rushed over and shouted at him loudly, "Order the soldiers to lie down and lie behind the battlements!" ”

"Lie down behind the battlements and raise your shield to protect your head!" Xiao Mingzhe immediately changed the order. He has always looked down on Yang Xiaorong as a demoted general, but Yang Xiaorong's recent performance has made him have to be impressed.

A thin wind sounded in the sky, and a black cloud fell.

Xiao Mingzhe saw Yang Xiaorong stretch out his hand and push himself down forcefully.

The black feathered arrows landed on the top of the city, jumped up, and burst into blue sparks. One after another, the soldiers fell under the rain of arrows, and the blood pooled into a stream through the cracks in the masonry of the walls.

Several guards rushed forward at the risk of death and protected Xiao Mingzhe and Yang Xiaorong with shields.

The feathered arrows struck the shield and crackled. Xiao Ming took a huge shield to protect himself and Yang Xiaorong, and saw that the red blood flowed down Yang Xiaorong's back and covered his legs.

"General Yang!" His voice seemed to be blocked by something in an instant, and he couldn't say anything.

"The armor is good, not deep, not poisonous, immediately organize a counterattack, the Mongols fight, this is the first move!" Yang Xiaorong replied with a smile. The expression on his face still has a bit of uncomfortable flattery, but his eyes inadvertently reveal a bit of pride.

"Someone, someone, escort General Yang down!" Xiao Mingzhe ordered loudly, his eyes swept out of the city through the gap in the shield, and he saw the Mongolian cavalry galloping one by one, turning at a right angle under the city, and then the moment the war horse turned around, he bent his bow and arrows.

The Mongols are famous for their galloping skills, and this wave of attacks, they are not for siege, but purely for prestige. Xiao Mingzhe figured this out. Pushing away the shield, he rolled under the nearest battlement, picked up a bloody grenade from the arms of a fallen grenadier, pulled out the fuse, grazed it on the masonry, waited for a moment, and threw the grenade down the moment before the spark could burrow into the projectile.

"Boom" exploded a thunderbolt in mid-air. A grenade exploded in the air above a rider's head, turning him and his men and horses into black charcoal.

"Shield-bearer cover, grenadier sortie, target, overhead of the enemy!" Wu Kang's voice sounded hoarsely from somewhere in the city wall. Immediately afterward, more than 20 small projectiles flew out from all over the city and exploded in the air.

The Mongolian cavalry who succeeded in the attack did not expect the other party to have this trick, so they shot feathered arrows in a panic and ran away from their horses. The first few groups of cavalry, which had already run away and had come back in circles, also slowed down and wandered, not knowing whether to continue on.

"Woo---woo-" The desolate horn sounded in the distance, and under the wool of the wool, Da Chun personally blew the horn of the ox and issued an order to continue the attack.

The drums beat endlessly, like flames, igniting the fighting spirit of the samurai.

The cavalry in the distance circled around and continued to shoot at the city. The nearby cavalry shook their spirits and smashed sharp arrows into the city like hailstones. On the city walls, rubble splattered. The sparks from the arrows and stones, dotted with stars, look particularly brilliant in the twilight.

Projectile after projectile was dropped, bringing down one warhorse after another.

One rider after another rushed forward and wreaked death on the city's head with feathered arrows.

On the wooden beams facing the west of the enemy tower, the feathered arrows were inserted upside down like clumps of artemisia grass, leaving no blank space. The follow-up feather arrows also shot up one after another, hitting the entire enemy building, as if it would collapse at any time.

Xiao Mingzhe held a shield, squatted back and forth at the head of the city, personally contacted the generals under his command, and arranged a counterattack. The purpose of Dachun's first attack was to demoralize the defenders, and he couldn't let him succeed. After several exchanges, he organized the soldiers at the head of the city who were stunned by the sudden attack.

In the rain of arrows, several green battle flags were raised high. On the coarse cloth flag, countless holes were torn out in a while. The broken flag was still raised to the top of the flagpole.

The horn of the Broken Army sounded slowly, high and agitated.

Hundreds of huge shields were raised to the head of the city one after another along the stone platform behind the city wall, with the flagpole as the center, and scattered to both sides. The horned bows used by the Mongols were strong, accurate head and foot, and some wooden shields were shot through with the owner behind the shield and fell down the city wall. But immediately someone came up and took the place of the dead.

Shields crowded the city, next to each other, leaving no gaps. The feather arrow hit it, making a chilling "pop, pop", but it couldn't break the shield wall out of the large gap.

Hundreds of projectiles flew out from behind the shield wall and exploded in the air. Dozens of horsemen who rushed under the city walls fell at the same time. The follow-up Mongolian cavalry was slightly stunned, opened the bow in his hand from a distance, and before they could fire, a row of shiny steel crossbows flew out of the arrow holes in the battlements.

The steel crossbow reflected the glimmer of the sunset, as if someone was wielding a sharp blade in the air.

Dozens of Mongol cavalrymen fell from their horses and were trampled into pulp by their companions.

Another row of black feathered arrows fell at different angles and fell behind the shield wall.

A broken sergeant fell, and countless black feathers immediately shot in through the gap, killing the crossbowmen and bullet bearers who had lost their protection. The soldiers of the Breakers around the gap fought back, knocking the Mongol cavalry to the ground.

A Mongol cavalryman bent his bow and before he could shoot his arrow, he had already been shot under his horse.

A captive barrenader grazed a grenade, and just raised his arm, a black feather pierced through the chain mail and burrowed into his chest. As soon as the body went limp, the grenade fell to the ground. The ballister jumped up with all his strength and lay dead on the grenade.

Smoke poured from the city, and the sound of explosions was low and hoarse. After the smoke cleared, there was only a black blood stain where the bullet bearer was lying. The new bullet bearer rushed up and stood on the bloodstain, brushing the grenade fuse.

The new Mongol cavalry rushed up and drew the horned bow.

The drums thundered.

The sound of the horn is like a dragon's roar, piercing the clouds and cracking stones.
