In front of the battle, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Fifth Army galloped towards the east gate. Many spears were tied with small triangular flags, which were blown high by the wind.
The soldiers shouted in unison not with words such as "kill" and "rush", but shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed, but food will be distributed." ”
These words seemed to be more powerful than grenadiers, which made the Yuan army in the city a little commotion. Now food is even more tempting than gold and silver for the Yuan soldiers.
Many people were already hungry with green light in their eyes, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but move their steps out of the city, as if there were golden chicken legs waiting for them outside the city.
"Those who dare to surrender, behead!"
Had it not been for the shouts of the overseers at the gates to stop them, the soldiers would have gone out of the city like the walking dead.
And even if there were prison guards shouting, they still couldn't stop some people's eyes from rippling.
I'm so hungry.
People are hungry to the extreme, and sometimes even ethics and morality will be lost, not to mention the so-called patriotic righteousness. Some Yuan troops no longer care about fighting or not fighting, and they just want to fill their stomachs. These days, everything that can be eaten in the city has been eaten, and there is almost no human flesh, and there are war horses that are strictly ordered not to be slaughtered in the army.
In this era, the war horses in the army were more important than the lives of soldiers.
Ali Hague heard the slogan of the Song army at the head of the city, and scolded the Song army for being shameless in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Stop them!" Block them! ”
The city gate is gone, but they still have tens of thousands of soldiers, and they may not be able to stop the Song army. Not in a desperate situation, Ali Hague is reluctant to abandon the city, he knows very well in his heart that the Song army is full of food, if he abandons the city and leaves, he may have a way to live, but the soldiers under his command will definitely lose a lot.
There was a swishing sound, and when the cavalry of the Song army was only about 300 meters away from the city, there were crossbow arrows on the city.
The city was full of soldiers and horses led by Ali Hague's trusted generals, but their loyalty was beyond doubt. Moreover, they were favored by Ali Hague, and although the army was almost without food, very few went hungry.
Among the hundreds of crossbow bases, hundreds of spear-like crossbow arrows shot out at the same time.
These crossbow arrows carried great force, and they could shoot into the cavalry formation of the Song army, and they could shoot through all the armored war horses.
The first round of crossbow arrows passed, and hundreds of the cavalry in the front row of the Song army turned on their backs.
But this did not stop the cavalry from coming, and they still rushed towards the city gate at great speed.
Zhao Dongting saw this scene with a telescope on the chariot, the corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and his heart ached. These cavalry are all his elite.
His soldiers and horses have slowly developed from the time of Qizhou, which is full of his hard work, and they are really all the flesh of his heart.
But at this time, there were only a few shells left in the army, and he had no other way but to let the soldiers forcibly attack the city.
He even wanted to go back to the chariot and no longer look at the battlefield. However, the situation was changing rapidly, and he was worried about what chaos might happen.
After surviving two waves of crossbow arrows and arrows from the sky, the cavalry paid a lot of price and finally rushed to the moat outside the city.
"Drive!"
Some soldiers in chariots drove their horses into the river with straight whips, and even rolled down into the moat with their chariots. These chariots were all modified by Zhao Dongting and specially used to deal with the moat. The roof of the chariot was a flat plate made of steel, and more than a dozen chariots rolled into the river, and soon filled the moat in front of the city gate.
Yue Peng was still rushing to the front, the silver spear in his hand swept away the arrows that shot in front of him one after another, and shouted loudly: "Enter the city!" Enter the city! ”
The soldiers who fell into the river with the chariot came out of the water, but before they could climb ashore, they were killed by the arrows of the Yuan army.
Scarlet blood suddenly spread out in the turbid and dark yellow water.
The guards who rushed to the front, Ma Jun's silver scale armor shone brightly, and he was the first to follow Yue Peng into the city. The horseshoe under the hooves of the war horses trampled on the steel plate of the chariot, making a tinkling sound of gold and iron intersecting, densely packed, several horses side by side, and the servants poured into Lipu County one after another.
Ali Hague kept shouting at the head of the city, "Kill! Kill me! ”
The arrows, rolling stones, and fire oil of the Yuan army really poured down like heavy rain to vent down the city.
Rao is guard Ma Jun is quite brave, and the fish scale armor he wears is also forged by Zhao Dongting's new smelting method, which has extremely strong defense, but it has also suffered a lot of damage in front of this city. Fish scale armor can block arrows, but it can't stop rolling stones and fire oil. Many of the soldiers were smashed to the point of bleeding, blood flowing from their helmets, and some were ignited by fire oil, and in an instant they were enveloped in flames and let out terrible screams.
Inside the city gate, there was the sword cart of the Yuan army, which blocked the entire city gate. The blade in front of the knife car was more than two meters long, and it shone brightly. Behind them, there are neat shield soldiers, layered on top of each other, several meters long. After that, there was a dense crowd of archers, constantly firing arrows out of the city.
Rao was with Yue Peng's skills, and he didn't have the ability to push away all the arrows, and there were two arrow feathers stuck in his chest, and Wu Zi was still trembling.
The simple fish scale armor is extremely tough, and the smelting technology far exceeds the arrows of the Yuan army, and it is very shallow to enter the flesh with these two arrows, otherwise Zhao Dongting is afraid of losing the general.
There were guards and horses rushing to the front of the knife cart array, and even the men and horses were pierced by the blades, and blood was splashed everywhere.
"Ah......h
Yue Peng roared, and when he came to the knife cart formation, he suddenly grabbed the reins.
The war horse under his seat jumped up violently, and he actually jumped over the knife cart with four layers of blades, nearly one and a half meters high.
This can't be considered a knife car at all, and it doesn't hurt to say that it is a knife wall.
However, although Yue Peng's war horse crossed the first-line knife car, it was inevitably penetrated by the second-line knife car in the end.
The horse didn't even have time to neigh, and after being pierced by several blades, it was killed instantly, and only the corner of his eye seemed to have a horse's tears slipping.
Who says animals don't psychic?
The horses and soldiers in the army are born and die, and there is always some indescribable induction between them.
Yue Peng knew that his beloved horse could not be spared, his eyes were red, and at the moment when the war horse was pierced by the blade, his legs kicked on the stirrups, and the whole person floated up, pushing away the arrows in front of him. Then, as soon as his feet landed on the edge of the knife cart, the silver spear swept the throats of the two Yuan soldiers holding the handle of the knife cart, and strode towards the shield soldiers behind the knife cart to kill.
"Kill!"
Those guards and soldiers did not have the skills of him, but they could only resist the Yuan saber cart with the flesh and blood of the war horse, and drove the horse straight into the knife cart.
In less than two minutes, dozens of horses fell in front of the knife cart.
Those blades were inserted into the bodies of these horses, and they could no longer form a lethal force.
It's hard to imagine the bloody scene.
Behind, endless cavalry poured into the city, and they rushed inward on horse corpses and human corpses, and even some soldiers who were still alive were crushed to death.
Siege of the city, at this time, don't say that ordinary soldiers, that is, Yue Peng is lying on the ground, I am afraid that he will only be killed by the army.
In this case, it is often impossible for anyone to take care of anyone. Every soldier's heart is thinking of entering the city, because whoever breaks the city first will be rewarded. Moreover, the Yuan army at the head of the city is still throwing arrows and rolling stones, and if you don't enter the city, you are very likely to die.
The Yuan saber formation did not last more than two minutes before it was crushed by the cavalry of the Song army.
"Guns!"
The general of the Yuan army, who commanded the shield soldiers at the back, had an ugly face and shouted loudly.
From the gaps in those shields, countless sharp spears pierced through.
The faces of the soldiers on both sides were full of murderous energy.
Yue Peng had just rushed through the knife car formation, and he was surrounded by a heavy siege, and he wanted to kill the shield soldiers, but he was also embarrassed. He was dressed in general armor and was greeted by the Yuan army.
Ali Hague is worthy of being the marshal, the city gate is arranged so tightly, and the cooperation of all arms is very orderly.
At this time, many soldiers galloped through the knife cart formation, rushing down the slope formed by corpses and knife carts.
"Hey!"
Yue Peng exhaled, took a few steps back, grabbed a saddle smoothly, and turned over on the horse.
In the following moment, several more horsemen rushed straight in front of the shield soldiers.
The horses neighed and were pierced by spears.
The soldier horse in front of Yue Peng lost his hooves and rolled down, also pierced by a spear.
"Little Plum!"
Yue Pengtong shouted with red eyes, and flew into the shield array.
This Sergeant Ma was recruited in Qizhou, he was only sixteen years old at the time, and because of his burly figure and strength, he was screened by Yue Peng into the guards and pro-army. At that time, the number of guards was still very small, and this kid was clever, so Yue Peng had a lot of impressions of him.
And now, he is not yet eighteen years old, and he has died here.
Rao was Yue Peng's iron blood, and his heart couldn't help twitching a little painfully.
The cavalry marched extremely fast, and it was inconvenient to carry siege equipment, which was their shortcoming. When encountering this kind of obstacle, you can only forcibly break through with your flesh and blood.
It can be said that every inch of the road into the city is stacked with the bones of the soldiers.
If it weren't for such a blitzkrieg that broke through the city gate first, unless the commander was a fool, he would never have sent cavalry to attack the city first. Because if you use foot soldiers, you can push the knife cart, battering ram and other siege equipment to advance, and you will never be so helpless when you encounter the knife cart array and shield array.
It's just that the speed of the foot soldiers is slow, and the speed of breaking the city is also slow, and there will definitely be greater losses outside the city.
Zhao Dongting asked the cavalry to attack the city, just to break the city as quickly as possible.
Just take the city, and the army will enter the city as if it were on the ground, and there will be no threat.
Yue Peng roared, and the silver spear danced wildly, one person and one shot, and it was the first to wreak havoc in the Yuan army's shield array.
The Yue family's marksmanship is wide open, but it is the most suitable for such a battlefield fight.
