Chapter 0093: Attack in advance
Nalan's Black Eagle Banner was already visible from afar, and the nervous mood spread in the Fourth Division, and among the 4,500 troops, less than half of them had gone from the Shandong Provincial Recruit Training Camp to the present, and the rest were mostly newly recruited strong men.
However, at this time, the weapons in the army were still relatively good, because after many victories, a lot of high-quality equipment was captured, and the remaining iron was being intensified to be hammered and forged to make stronger, sharper, and harder weapons.
Some of the iron is also made into armor.
The vanguard of the enemy army was about 5,000 people, and they had already walked over just now, Tang Qi did not stop it, and the entire Fourth Division of the Provisional Army died down and watched from afar. The enemy scouts ran here many times to investigate the situation, but in the end they all returned in vain, two of them were too close, one was shot dead by Bai Ke, and the other was shot and wounded by Tang Yuan, and was captured alive.
From the scouts' question-and-answer questions, it was learned that the situation was not good, because if the two scouts could not return, the enemy knew where the accident had occurred.
For a while, the nervousness suddenly rose, for fear that the enemy army would give up the siege plan, and the whole encirclement would be, and Tang Qi and her thousands of men and horses would be completely buried in this dense forest.
However, it is fortunate that the enemy's vanguard did not stop and continued to advance, they did not carry much baggage, at least they did not have the equipment to camp in, so that their vanguard had only one task, to directly attack the city.
"It stands to reason that the enemy army has more food and grass than us, but why are they in such a hurry to attack the city?" Dian Han was puzzled: "Besides, the city of Texas is almost empty at this time, and if the city is closed for a few days, the people of Texas will have nothing to eat, why are they in such a hurry to attack the city?" ”
When Dezhou was in the hands of Liang Jun, many rice merchants in Henan saw the opportunity and came over to make a big profit, but if Dezhou fell into the hands of the male Jia, the merchants would have run away early and would not dare to come here to do business.
It's not that I'm worried that the male Jia people won't give money, but "Da Liang Law" doesn't allow it. The male Jia Wang Wanyan Qiankun was not stupid enough to rob the merchants, and he even encouraged the merchants of Daliang to do business.
Tang Qi thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes the orders of the peak are not necessarily right. It's like the spider web array they set up before, isn't it just an empty shelf?
As a result, they lost nearly 50,000 elite soldiers, which was a fatal wound for them.
Although the number of casualties we suffered was not smaller than theirs, after all, we had rear support, and there were troops crossing the river one after another, and the size of the troops was 150,000 to 200,000 at all times.
However, Wanyan Trout did not give up, the reason why he let the front troops quickly counterattack, I guess he was creating momentum.
A while ago, I heard that there was an abnormality on King Sangla's side, but later he was persuaded by the Liang Mission.
This is really dangerous, if we are attacked at this time, then the treasury will be emptied, and the food supply will not be timely, then we will definitely lose. ”
Dian Han was even more puzzled: "In that case, why did King Sangla withdraw again?" ”
Tang Qi said: "So the emperor directly promoted the envoy who sent the envoy to Hexi this time to be the household servant, who was only twenty-seven years old, and in the past hundred years, the youngest household servant." ”
After saying a few words, everyone stopped talking, and soon after Nalan Juehu personally pressed the Chinese army passing by, his general flag was already the closest to Tang Qi, and if he let them go, he began to get farther and farther away.
At this time, the scout arrived: "The enemy vanguard has begun to attack the city." ”
Tang Qi looked into the distance, at this time, the city of Texas had gradually burst into flames, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and finally he felt that the entire city of Texas was in a sea of fire.
"Start the timer!" Tang Qi ordered: "An hour later, blow the trumpet of the charge." ”
"Yes!"
——
It's getting dark.
But the fire outside Texas is still burning.
Wherever the enemy army landed in the city, the fire burned from there, and then there was almost nothing left in the entire city of Texas.
Han Dang stood at the head of the city, brandishing the long knife in his hand, shouting loudly to boost morale.
A cold arrow came over, and unfortunately he was shot in the shoulder, and with the thickness of the armor, it did not pierce into the body, but it still made him feel numb in his arm and his movements were restricted.
But even so, he was undaunted, observing everywhere and shouting everywhere.
As long as the general is still at the head of the city, the morale of the army is there, even if the fire is burning, even if the black smoke is filled.
"Oh no, the northwest thirty zhang wall has collapsed!" Someone shouted and ran over.
"Don't panic!" Han Dang ran towards the collapse, "Set fire here, don't stop, demolish all the nearby houses for Lao Tzu, set fire to me!" ”
Half an hour after the battle, the city walls were burned down, which was a catastrophe for the defenders.
Seeing that there was a gap in the city wall, the enemy gave up all other siege methods and rushed this way like crazy.
Han Dang personally led the men to pile up wood at the gap, spray fire oil, and the enemy army doused the flames with moat water.
The enemy army organized crossbowmen and fired arrows rhythmically into the city, and soon the fire slowly decreased, and the male soldiers began to charge collectively.
"Block, block!" Han Dang picked up his knife and got on the horse: "Brothers, plug the gap with the enemy's corpse!" Come on! ”
——
"His grandmother's, what is Tang Qi doing!!
According to the pre-battle deployment, when the enemy army began to attack the city, Tang Qi rushed over in the first wave.
At this time, Nalan's squadron and rear team would inevitably attack Tang Qi from behind, and at this time, Xiao Fei led three thousand tiger iron horsemen, and then killed from behind.
However, Tang Qi did not move.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei was furious.
"Hurry up and report to Tang Qi, if you don't send troops again, we'll see you when you go back!" Don't think that with the support of the gate valve, she can do whatever she wants, kill Han Dang, and she shouldn't think about it! ”
"Go!"
——
In fact, Tang Qi was also very anxious at this time, Tang Xiao asked her to wait for an hour before moving her troops, but now it seems that Han Dang can't hold on for an hour anyway.
So do you still have to stick to your original plan?
"Where is the Seventh Prince hiding?"
"Report to the general, we don't know. When he left, he just said that he would take the initiative to send someone to find us if he had something to say, and if he didn't find it, he would continue to carry out the original plan. ”
"Oops!" Tang Qi slapped his fist heavily: "I don't think it can be delayed any longer, I don't think the seventh prince expected the city wall to collapse." In that case, we will attack in advance. ”
Tang Qi got on his horse and grabbed it, shouting: "The infantry is square, and the cavalry is on both wings, let's go!" ”
——
Just as the enemy was about to break through the Texas city defenses, an overwhelming array of arrows came from behind.
After a rain of arrows, a large area fell.
At the same time, the enemy's siege troops, the flanks were attacked, and the whole looked a little chaotic.
Han Dang and other soldiers defending the city saw hope in despair, and their morale was greatly boosted, but they rushed out of the gap in the city wall, met Tang Qi's troops, and killed the enemy siege troops together.
The battle quickly became white-hot, with □ across the field and rivers of □.
