Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of the Central Plains (8)

The Zhao army finally launched a general attack on Fan Cheng, and the banner of Yan at the head of the city was shattered.

Groups and columns of Zhao troops, in the increasingly rapid sound of war drums, rushed towards Fan City.

"Put".

Above the city, rows of guns rang out, and many Zhao soldiers were covered with blood.

"Shoot".

At the sound of an order, pieces of arrows fell towards the Zhao army under the city, and there were many hand fire mines, which suddenly "boomed" in the crowd of the Zhao army, splashing pieces of red waves.

The soldiers on both sides were already "crazy" at this time, and the sound of fighting above the city was deafening.

Urged by the sound of war drums, the Zhao army rushed towards the city one after another.

With a "bang", another boulder smashed on the top of the city.

Several Yan troops around were beaten to a blur of flesh and blood.

The Yan army defenders of Fan City, no matter how tenacious they are.

However, as the number of defenders of the city became smaller and smaller, the danger of the city being destroyed was imminent.

By the afternoon of the battle, on the north wall of Fan City, there were already several places where the Zhao army had climbed up.

"Kill."

Ma Liang's eyes were already blood-red, and he led his personal guards to pounce in person.

The two teams collided fiercely at the head of Fancheng City, and blood splattered suddenly.

At this juncture of scuffle and fighting, the soldiers on both sides are exchanging their lives for their lives, and they are doing everything they can. Even though Ma Liang was well-armed, he was still stabbed with knives and spears from time to time and had many wounds.

The guards led by Ma Liang have fought very little since the start of the war, and their combat strength has been preserved. At this critical moment, under the leadership of Ma Liang, it was unstoppable, and everywhere he went, snowflake-like knife light flickered.

The Zhao army that climbed to the top of the city was cut down to the ground by the new force led by Ma Liang. After killing the last Zhao army who climbed up to the top of the city, Ma Liang gasped for breath, and the blood on his body fell to the head of the city.

At this moment, an earth-shattering sound came from the eastern city, and the entire eastern city wall slowly collapsed.

Ma Liang shouted: "Gu Tao." ”

This was the agreement between Gu Tao and Ma Liang, if the city was breached, he would ignite the explosive bags piled up under the city wall, and die with the enemy, and the eastern wall of Fan City was broken by the Zhao army.

On and off the city, the soldiers on both sides were stunned.

Lian Po, who was on the command platform outside the city, looked at the smoke and dust rising in the east, and finally showed a rare smile on his face in the past few days.

Said to the generals: "Fan City has now been broken by our army, and my generals have ordered that in addition to the Chinese army, all other parts of our army will launch a comprehensive general attack, and after entering the city, all the Yan troops in the city will be killed." ”

"No." The generals commanded in unison.

They all walked down the command platform and led their subordinates towards Fan City.

"Compassion does not lead soldiers" is the truth that is being said. When the battle was fought to this extent, for the defenders of the Yan army, who had caused great casualties to the Zhao army, it was necessary to give all the officers and soldiers of the Zhao army an outlet.

The veteran Lian Po is well versed in this!

"Beat the drums, attack." Lian Po ordered again.

Without waiting for the dust of the collapse to fall, he heard the sound of war drums coming from within the Zhao army's military array.

A large number of soldiers of the Zhao army poured into the city of Fan from the collapse of the eastern city wall.

Ma Liang laughed miserably and shouted loudly to the surrounding Yan army:

"Loyalty to the country is now. Brothers, kill me with me! ”

The remaining soldiers of the Yan army shouted in unison: "Kill." ”

Follow Ma Liang and rush towards another group of Zhao troops who climbed to the top of the city.

Ma Liang slashed and shouted, everything in front of him blurred.

"Old man, you go first, I'm going to be with you soon." Ma Liang thought so.

Suddenly, there was a sound of war drums in the distance, which was different from the sound of war drums from Zhao Jun.

The remaining Yan soldiers in the city burst out and shouted: "Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived." ”

Almost at the same time, Lian Po, a veteran on the command platform, heard a rapid siren in the distance.

Lian Po frowned, turned to the guard beside him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The surrounding guards, as well as the generals of the Chinese army, all changed their faces and looked in the direction where the warning signal came.

Lian Po was on the command platform, took a few steps forward, looked into the distance and said, "Who goes over to take a look, what's going on?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a scout galloping towards him, and the guards under the stage were thrown into chaos.

The scout arrived at the command stand, rolled off his horse, got up, and reported loudly to Lian Po:

"General, a large number of cavalry of the Yan army have already rushed towards our army at this time."

"Ah, why did the Yan army reinforcements arrive so soon? Why did our army find out only now? ”

Lian Po's chest was full of blood and blood, and he said angrily.

I closed my eyes and thought about it, and I understood.

Just yesterday evening, Tanma returned that the reinforcements of the Yan army were all hundreds of miles away. Today, I am determined to win Fan Cheng, and I pay too much attention to Fan Cheng. The vigilance outside the army has not been paid enough attention to the current situation.

That's why, when Lian Po attacked Fan City, he was still full of scouts five miles away.

It's just that he didn't expect that among the reinforcements of the Yan State this time, there was the most elite strike corps of the Yan Army, the Third Army, and the gallop of tens of thousands of cavalry would soon be able to reach it in five miles.

However, this is also because Lian Po has not fought with the Yan Army for so many years, and he does not know the configuration of the Yan Army.

Lian Po opened his old eyes and asked the scouts, "How many reinforcements are there from the Yan army?" ”

"General Qiyu, the cavalry in front of the Yan army can't see the edge, at least tens of thousands."

When the veteran Lian heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

But Lian Po still did not lose himself as a famous general in the world, and immediately ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops, reorganizes the army, and lines up." ”

In this era of cold weapons, the armies of various countries used "singing gold to collect troops" and "beating drums to march in" to command their armies.

The same is true for Yan Guo, including Yan Guo.

As soon as the order was given, someone on the command platform immediately sounded the "cymbal".

"Zhou Li, Winter Official Examination Record": The Ji family is "Zhong", and the drum is called "cymbal".

The "cymbal" has a crisp timbre, a long aftersound and a strong penetrating power. Even in the battle between the two armies, in the fierce fighting, as soon as the sound of "cymbals" sounded, their own soldiers could hear it clearly.

As soon as the sound of "cymbal" sounded, this is the so-called "Mingjin Withdraws Troops." ”

The Zhao army, who had just poured into Fancheng City, suddenly stopped the offensive after hearing the sound of cymbals coming from their side.

Then, like a tide, it retreated from the city of Fancheng.

Ma Liang, like the soldiers of the Yan army, rushed to the city wall and looked in the direction of his own war drums.

I saw that on the horizon in the east, the flags of the red Yan Army continued to jump out with the gallop of war horses.

At this time, there were no enemy troops left on the city. Ma Liang took out the telescope in his arms and looked east. I saw that in the center of the army, there was a huge banner embroidered with a big word "king" on it.

Ma Liang knew that under this banner was the chief general of the Yan Army, the general Wang Shi.

Around this banner, countless Yan cavalry, lined up in a neat cavalry formation, slowly pressed towards the Zhao army. In the rear of the cavalry, there were one infantry phalanx after another.

Ma Liang sat down on top of the city and said loudly: "Old man, you have taken a step earlier, and my reinforcements have arrived." ”

After shouting, Ma Liang was already in tears.

Looking at the head of Fancheng City, the flag of the Yan State Army fluttering, Wang Shi knew that the Zhao army had not completely occupied Fancheng.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, General Wang Shi said to Hu Guiliang, the commander of the Third Army beside him:

"General Hu."

"The end will be." Hu Guiliang hugged his fists and responded.

"When the enemy army is in chaos, it is the best time for our army to launch, pass my general's order, beat the war drums, and let my cavalry attack the enemy army." Wang Shi commanded loudly.

"The last will obey." Hu Guiliang replied loudly.

The war drums of the Yan army's camp hurried.

With the sound of the war drums of the Yan army, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Yan army rode their horses and trotted up, running towards the Zhao army that was arranging the flag.

Seeing this, the veteran Lian Po felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't describe it with pen and ink.

Although there is no river under the city of Fancheng, the attack of the Yan army on the Zhao army at this time is equivalent to "attacking half-crossing".

After a few days of attacking Fan City, Zhao Jun was already very tired, and he had just broken through Fan City.

Except for the 20,000 Chinese troops led by Lian Po, the other Zhao troops have dispersed and are ready to attack the city.

Now that the Zhao army has returned, the army has been disorganized. But the most fatal thing is that the Yan army's reinforcements did not give the Zhao army any time to reorganize the army at all, and at this juncture, they rushed towards the Zhao army.

Seeing that the Zhao army with a large force had withdrawn from Fancheng City, it was reluctantly lined up in battle formation under the reprimand of the generals of the Zhao army.

The general of the Yan army beside Wang Shichao said:

"Zhao Jun is really extraordinary, and he has a lot of combat experience. At this time, he was still preparing for a decisive battle with our army. In that case, let's fulfill General Lianpo's wish! Pass my general order, the cavalry charge, and charge me across the Zhao army. ”

In the camp of the Yan army, the flag flew and the war drums beat even more rapidly.

The cavalry units of the entire Yan Army, the speed of horses has been raised, and the entire land of Fan City has begun to tremble.

Tens of thousands of snow-bright sabers are flying on the ground like snowflakes, which is thrilling.

The veteran Lian Po pointed to the Yan cavalry who rushed over, and ordered loudly:

"Our chariots and cavalry, meet the enemy, and stop them for me."

From the Chinese army of the Zhao army, there was a roar, and a large number of chariots, and even cavalry troops, rushed to attack.

Hu Guiliang, the general who led the cavalry of the Yan army, raised the saber in his hand and shouted: "Kill." ”

The horse's hooves slammed, and the two streams of iron collided together.

I saw the sword light rising and falling, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides splattered and erupted.

After a period of fighting, Hu Guiliang, who was the vanguard of the Yan army, led the Yan army to kill the Zhao army.

Hu Guiliang added blood from the corner of his mouth, pointed at Zhao Jun, who was still chaotic in front of him, and roared angrily:

"Kill, kill me into the enemy line."

After roaring, Hu Guiliang led the cavalry and rushed into the crowded Zhao army.

The sabers of the Yan cavalry flashed in the Zhao army's formation, drawing a white arc in the air, and many Zhao army's heads flew into the sky, and more and more Yan cavalry rushed into the Zhao army's military formation.

The war horse neighed, shouted to kill the sky, and the dust was flying.

The sound of the horses' hooves of the Yan cavalry shook the entire battlefield.
