Chapter 248: The Merits of the First World War (Part II)
If this continues, I am afraid that before I can withdraw from the military formation, I will be driven out by these cavalry!
Although the two rounds of 600 crossbow arrows were fired, the damage caused was only a few dozen dead and wounded.
Among them, the people who died on the spot could even be counted on two hands, and the casualties were really not large.
But their rogue-like style of play is too demoralizing.
When they rushed, in order to prevent them from rushing into formation, they could only gather in a dense formation, and they could not move, so they could only stand there and shoot as if they were targets.
After shooting, they were about to shoot back, but they turned around and ran away.
Even if the casualties are very small, but the feeling of being shot at as a target and helpless is really unbearable.
No, Ti rode in the distance and charged up again after reloading.
As on the previous occasion, when he was about twenty paces away from the Fish Scale Formation, Ti Cavalry suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped to the left, leaving only a wailing sound.
This was repeated several times, and when Tiqi rushed for the fifth time, someone finally couldn't help it:
"His grandmother's! Dead left and right, fight with them!! ”
I saw several spearmen push away the shield in front of them, and rushed towards the cavalry with their spears in hand.
With this move, the long-suppressed emotions of the soldiers were finally ignited by them:
"Fight!!"
"Rush!!"
"It's better than standing and being a target!"
Despite the shouts of the young general, there were still hundreds of people who rushed out of the fish scale formation.
Lu Xing'an was leading the cavalry to repeat the old trick, and the footsteps of the Yuwen family suddenly rushed over, hooked his mouth and smiled, and shouted:
"Shoot your crossbow, raise your gun!!"
The horsemen put the crossbow in their hands back on their backs, and then rode their spears from the saddle, but after three or five breaths, the three hundred horsemen collided with the footsteps of the Yuwen family.
Then......
The more than 100 steps of the Yuwen family seemed to be submerged by a black flood, and no sound came out.
What's even more terrifying is that those horsemen kept on their feet, holding their spears and rushing towards the gap caused by the detachment of more than a hundred steps.
Finished...... Dead......
Not to mention ordinary steps, even the young general of the Yuwen family was disheartened.
The fish scale array has opened such a big gap, and it must not be torn apart by these three hundred heavy cavalry?
Just when he was desperate, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
Looking back, I saw that thousands of knights wearing the uniforms of the Southern Expeditionary Army rushed to the back of the Fish Scale Array, divided into two wings, bypassed the Fish Scale Formation, and surrounded those brocade-clothed horses.
"Reinforcements are coming!! Hold on, everyone! The brethren of the Southern Expeditionary Army are coming!! ”
Hearing the shouts of the young general, all the soldiers hurriedly looked back and saw the mighty and murderous cavalry of the Southern Expeditionary Army coming to help.
The morale that was originally extremely low immediately returned to its peak:
"Wan Sheng!!"
Almost at the same time, Yuwenjia Buzu and the cavalry of the Southern Expeditionary Army shouted at the same time, and then the Jinyi Ti cavalry collided with the cavalry.
For a time, the sword was shining, people shouted and neighed, and blood droplets splashed.
As soon as the two collided, seven people on the side of the Jinyi Ti Cavalry were cut off their horses, and three people with their horses were knocked to the ground by the cavalry of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and they were never seen alive again.
And the cavalry side was not much better, and when it came to the armored heavy cavalry, their casualties were almost three times that of the cavalry!
However, it was an army that crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and the knight in front was picked off the horse by the horseman, and immediately a knight rushed up with a saber to take advantage of the fact that the horseman's spear was still stuck in the chest of the person in front of him.
Who would have thought that the cavalry would abandon the riding gun and the reins of the horse, and directly pick up the two hands/crossbows hanging on the horse's back with both hands, and shoot them with a raised hand.
After the knight was knocked off his horse, another knight rushed after him, and before he could draw his saber.
The saber in his hand then slashed at Nati's neck, and a large head flew into the air.
Hou Shigui on the city tower saw that the battle situation outside the city was in a stalemate, and the cavalry and the horse army had fallen into hand-to-hand combat.
If you let those steps get stained again, I'm afraid that the brocade clothes will be wiped out:
"Order, let the cavalry withdraw under the city walls."
At the sound of an order, the head of the city bulged, and Lu Xing'an, who had just cut off the left arm of a cavalry soldier of the Southern Expeditionary Army, was about to kill him with a knife.
Hearing this, the retreat was drummed, and regardless of the broken arm cavalry in front of him, he grabbed the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and fled towards the city wall behind him.
The cavalry on the battlefield are all well-trained elites in a hundred battles, and there is no need for Lu Xing'an to give orders, withdraw the military drums together, no matter how red-eyed they are, they all give up the opponent in front of them and fight back.
In this way, there were more than 30 horsemen who had lost their horses and were surrounded by the cavalry regiment of the Southern Expeditionary Army and slaughtered.
After the Yuwen family's footsteps arrived, the young general hurriedly asked:
"Thank you for coming to your aid, dare to ask which general and consul of your department? Why don't you chase those brocade riders? ”
The surrounding cavalry officers ignored him, but dismounted and began to collect the booty.
Seeing that the cavalry were picking up the armor and weapons of the cavalry, ignoring himself, the young general pursed his lips and did not say anything, but looked at the cavalry who had returned to the city wall with a reluctant face.
Here, after Lu Xing'an fled back to the city wall with Ti Cai, he counted the people, and then beat his horse to the city tower and shouted to Hou Shigui on the city tower:
"Yu Gongzi, eighty-one horsemen were damaged in battle, and there are two hundred and nineteen horsemen left, and our department still has combat power!"
"You don't need to engage the enemy head-on, you just need to attack!"
After Hou Shigui shouted to Lu Xing'an under the city, he turned his head to Xiang Xu beside him and asked:
"When will the people go up to the city wall?"
It has been a while since the war started, but he has not seen the figure of the Qing Hong Kong people for a long time, and Hou Shigui has a bad premonition in his heart.
Xiang Xu replied:
"Mr. Wang just came to say that the officials of the government have all returned to their hearts, but they are just ...... It's just that the people in the city only recognize Qian Song, not others, and the remnants of the Yuwen family spread rumors in the city that there was a court army outside the city to quell the rebellion.
If they dare to go up to the city wall to help, they will rebel, so ...... Mr. Wang said he was still figuring out a way. ”
Isn't there a Minfu......
Hou Shigui sighed and glanced at the two thousand defenders on the city wall.
The heart is awe-inspiring, if there is no people, then you can't lose the wilderness.
Otherwise, the opposite side began to climb the city, and the two thousand defenders did not know how much they could stop.
And if there are no people, even the wilderness is not comfortable.
With the presence of the people, at least they can go out of the city to dig fortifications or destroy traps to destroy ladders in their free time to prevent enemy troops from climbing the city.
Can be ...... now
No way!
Hou Shigui's face turned ruthless, and he commanded:
"Go and bring that Yuwen Hao and all the clansmen of the Yuwen family here!"
If Qinggang is not guaranteed, and he flees in a hurry, all the efforts to go south will be in vain, not to mention that the Yuwen family has made this incident, and His Majesty will definitely have a scapegoat.
Unless he escapes back to Xiling to raise troops, he will be a scapegoat for the black pot when he returns to Chujing, and the end will be nothing more than death.
