Chapter 122: Closing the Net (5)
"Boom!" With a bang, two well-made steel knives collided in the air, bursting out with dazzling sparks, and a small gap was once again knocked out of the blade. Their owners are desperately trying to overwhelm each other, but the space is small, and the big shield in their hands has already protected most of the vital points of their respective bodies, and there are really not many means that can be used, so they have to fight like this, knife by knife, to see whose person or knife can't hold it first.
For the two warring sides, this position has changed people at least three times each, and the fallen corpses are trampled under their feet, and no one can take a half step forward. Life and death are only a matter of a moment, and no one dares to be distracted a little and become someone else's stepping stone. With a low roar, both of them stared at each other, but their hands were raised in unison, and they gathered their strength again, and slashed down viciously again.
The scorching sun has risen to the sky, and the scorching light is baking the earth like fire, not to mention fighting to the death on the battlefield, even Liu Yu and others who are standing behind the formation are all covered with sweat, but what is this? Compared to the blood that was shed on the ground, no one cared at all.
"One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, Tartar is already a second drum, right?" Being on this real battlefield, Liu Yu suddenly felt how ridiculous the so-called historical blockbusters made in later generations were, there were no heroes who rode a thousand, some were just tragic battles with their lives, both sides were elites, and they didn't know how much they would pay for each person they killed.
"You heard it wrong, the second drum beat was closed a long time ago, and now it's the third one, and besides, those bears in the front row of them were killed and injured a lot before they broke the net, if these people seem to have some momentum, in fact, it's just a breath."
Li Tingzhi didn't know why he asked, and pointed to the enemy in front of him and said carefully. In fact, neither side is an iron man, after fighting for so long, the body consumption is about the same, the enemy is exhausted, and his own side is not it, if it weren't for the ease and waiting, it would have been broken a long time ago.
But looking at Liu Yu's expression, and thinking about what he asked just now, his heart moved, there were not many soldiers and horses fighting in the city, including Jiang Cai's cavalry, there were more than 10,000 people, and this was definitely not all the defenders. Li Tingzhi looked at the city not far away, if he was exhausted from fighting here, and suddenly killed a new army from the city, what would happen?
"Ziqing, I didn't expect your appetite to be so big, there are no less than 50,000 people here." Everyone expects a big victory, but in Li Tingzhi's opinion, if the damage is too great, the gains outweigh the losses, and most of the soldiers in the army are the Huai soldiers he brought, and it is impossible to fight them all out like this.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu shook his head for a while, and said with some regret: "I really want to keep these people, but it's a pity that I don't know how good I can do." It's just that they just let them go, but they can't, the defeated troops in the west of the city haven't withdrawn from the Jiankang Mansion yet, wait a minute, when the chasing troops under the command of the marshal turn around, it should be decided here. ”
"You didn't have a hand left in the city?" Li Tingzhi glanced at the watch in his hand, more than two hours had passed, and it was estimated that he was about to reach the range of expulsion from Jiankang Mansion that he said, and maybe he was already on the way back to the city, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, there are still more than 10,000 forbidden troops and more than 20,000 village soldiers in the city. They don't have more than that, I don't know why the Tartar cavalry hasn't appeared yet, I'm afraid they have other plans, if they really can't do it, let go of the gap and let them pass. ”
The west of the city is not only the camp of 100,000 people in Boyan, but also the supply line and material storage place of the entire army of Zhengnan, and now that it is in his own hands, it is impossible for the enemy army elsewhere to besiege it, and it may even run out of food in a few days. Therefore, they must be desperate to open a gap now, but Liu Yu and others will not fight with them like this.
There are still too few available soldiers to say the bottom, which makes this big victory a few points less. The shouts in front were much quieter, only the crisp sound of weapons colliding together, Liu Yu turned his head to watch the volunteers in the city tie the big horns to the long bamboo poles, and then connected the line to the control platform.
It was a simplified system of public announcements, and it was worked by the first group of people to learn, so it was installed quickly, and the volunteers carried bamboo poles to spread out on both sides, and long wires and sound lines were dragged to the ground. Although he didn't know why, Li Tingzhi didn't ask any more questions, just like the people in the city, he had seen a lot, so there was nothing strange about it.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the enemy in the distance, Liu Yu and Li Tingzhi raised their binoculars almost at the same time, the scene in the lens made them frown slightly, and the black pressure in the distance was overwhelming, it was a large group of Tartar cavalry, almost the size of a team of 10,000 people.
"Can the stone bullets in the city hit that place?" Li Tingzhi's eyes left the eyepiece and turned his head to ask Liu Yu.
"It's too far, the Tartars are very clever, and if they go around Niushou Mountain with cavalry, we will be in danger of being attacked on our backs." Liu Yu shook his head, the cavalry moved too fast, and when the stone bullets were shot, the people were already in place, and it was impossible to cause too much damage.
"Send men into the city, gather all the soldiers, and if they are so willing, send troops from the city to defeat the soldiers in front of them." Hearing Li Tingzhi's words, Liu Yu did not hesitate to let his own soldiers pass the order to Jiang Cai, who was resting in the back, and after a while, Jiang Cai took the cavalry away.
When the two agreed, on the enemy formation opposite, the enemy's two main generals also argued about how to use these new forces, and the ten thousand households on the side couldn't intervene at all, so they had to let them go, because the thousand teams were very scattered, and it took him some effort to gather people, so it was late.
"Azihan, they have never walked that road, in the mountains and forests, if they lose their way, won't they miss this good opportunity in vain?" No matter what Ah Tinghan said, Dong Wenbing just didn't allow it, in his opinion, instead of going around a big circle that he didn't know if he could do, it was better to take advantage of the fact that the foot soldiers were fighting decently and crush them from the front in one fell swoop.
"Even so, there's a fight over there, where is there room for cavalry assault?" A Tinghan's cross-examination made Dong Wenbing also a little speechless, and neither of them could convince the other, so they had to leave these cavalry in place to wait to see if the development of the battle situation would change.
The timely arrival of the 10,000-strong team of people brought Dong Wenbing a lot of confidence, and according to his idea, when Yan Che'er's men and horses rushed back, he would be able to take advantage of it at that time. It's okay, so that the Song people can't run if they want to, and when they think of this, they won't say anything more. At this time, his own soldiers suddenly brought a person to come, so that they could wake up at the same time, and there was a new annex in the camp.
Lu Shikui stared at the battle in the distance in a daze, and he almost forgot what he had come here for, he never imagined that he would see such a scene, the Song people would dare to go out of the city, and it seemed that it was a draw.
"Lu Zhenshou, it's just in time, go back and tell your family to participate in politics, and ask him to send all his subordinates, come here to listen to it, and there must be no mistake." Dong Wenbing looked at his lost soul, and his originally eager words became a little cold.
Wei Wei answered, Lu Shikui still couldn't believe his eyes, and after turning around, he turned his head from time to time, stumbling and walking. It wasn't until he got on horseback with the support of his own soldiers that he found that among all the siege teams, only the own part of the east gate was not here.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the drums of war, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again, and the momentum was lifted, and the enemy infantry in front of them raised their spirits.
"Haha!" After a long laugh came out from the loudspeaker behind the battle, the enemy's drum beat was suppressed, and Liu Yu held the microphone in his hand and jumped onto the high platform, his image was very windy.
"Do not be afraid, brethren, for the Tartar is a trapped beast in a cage, and the fish are dead at the bottom of the net, and it will not be long before the Tartar is dead. This is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, since I came, and if I want to go back, I have to ask us if the swords and guns in our hands will agree, and everyone says yes or no? ”
The Song soldiers responded in unison, taking advantage of the enemy's stunnedness, and pulled the shape back, Liu Yu saw it clearly, and immediately decided to burn another fire, he took a human head from the hands of his own soldiers, and held the braids on it high.
"Your handsome Boyan head is here, you still have to resist, aren't you afraid of death and no place to be buried!" The thunderous shouting was resounded by the loudspeaker, and after hearing this amazing news, not only the enemy, but even the Song army were stunned, which Liu Yu never expected.
"Hugh listens to his nonsense, it's fake, it's fake!" The loud voice of an enemy officer was actually far away, and with human eyesight, it was impossible to see the appearance of his facial features, but the hairstyle was clear at a glance that it was a Mongolian, so there was a trace of trilling in his words, and he was not very sure.
"The dead duck has a hard beak and is fake, so look at what it is, is this also fake?" Liu Yu was waiting for this sentence, he bent down again, took the half of the big into his hand, and pulled him so vigorously that he was almost about to plant it, Liu Yu gritted his teeth ruthlessly, stood firmly with his feet, stood firm with his hands, and lifted the golden wolf's head above his head like a weight.
The midday sun shone straight on it, and the golden light was dazzling, and the enemy foot soldiers looked at the thing so familiar that they could no longer distinguish half a word. Although it was not enough to abandon the blade and disperse, the morale suddenly fell to the bottom, on the other hand, the Song army was in great spirits, and the cheers came one after another.
"Drums! Attack on all fronts. Seeing this good scene, Li Tingzhi immediately ordered the flag officer, and after a while, the wrestlers behind the battle vigorously waved the mallet, the drums rumbled, and the shouts of the Song soldiers shook the heavens and the earth.
