Chapter 169: Cavalry Field Battle
Lan Ziyi turned around and shouted:
"Come on, lead the horse! Let's go out of the city and destroy the thieves! β
Saying that, Lan Ziyi withdrew to the city wall under the escort of Tao Zhutu and prepared to go down to the city.
Qiu Wenruo was also escorted down to the city by several forbidden army armor soldiers to transfer gunpowder.
Lan Ziyi simply ordered the troops in the city to go down to the city after obeying Gao Yanzong's orders, and Gao Yanzong stepped forward at this time to grab Lan Ziyi's arm and said:
"There are many thieves outside the city, why should Wei Hou risk his life and enter the enemy formation?
It's better for the Marquis to stay in the city, and let me go out of the city. β
Although Gao Yanzong's hands were full of strength, Lan Ziyi knew that Gao Yanzong was revealing his true feelings when he looked at his eyes, and he unconsciously exerted force in his hands.
Lan Ziyi patted Gao Yanzong's hand and asked:
"Have you ever fought on horseback before?"
Gao Yanzong was a little speechless when he heard this question,
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi said:
"Defending the city on foot, I am not as good as you; Cavalry field battles, you are not as good as me.
It is the right thing for the tall man to concentrate on defending the city, and it will take the effort of the tall man to bury the gunpowder later, and it is not good for me to do these things, so don't fight anymore. β
Gao Yanzong thought about it when he heard this, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he had to let go of Lan Ziyi and said:
"Be careful."
ε °εδΉ says:
"Be careful, sir."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yanzong turned around and continued to join the hand-to-hand combat on the city wall,
Lan Ziyi took the peach and the rabbit to the city.
Walking on the stairs of the lower city, Lan Ziyi saw that the people were carrying gunpowder to the city wall bucket by bucket, and was quite puzzled.
"Why did the gentleman carry gunpowder to the city? Do you want to go down from the city walls? β
Qiu Wenruo says:
"Exactly,
There are countless slopes of the city wall, and if you go out from the city gate, there will be too many ways to run, and it is easy to be intercepted by the thieves, which is too dangerous. β
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"But the wooden fence on the city wall has been ignited, and there are sparks everywhere, what if so much gunpowder goes up to the city?"
Qiu Wenruo looked at Lan Ziyi and said:
"Then you have to be careful.
In terms of priorities, if you want to bury gunpowder in the earth mountain that is densely covered with the city wall, the fastest way is to go down from the city wall, and as for other things, you can't take care of so much. β
As he spoke, there was a sudden loud bang from the top of the city wall, which shook the whole earth.
The explosion occurred overhead, and Lan Ziyi and the others were all shocked to the ground.
Lan Ziyi half-knelt on the ground and looked up, the entire field of vision was rendered by fireworks, the fire on the city wall was splashed, and the shaking and dizzy eyes were full of shattered corpses and a rain of black-red blood falling from the sky.
At this time, the people said that only a barrel of gunpowder was ignited by the thieves, and the other gunpowder was not detonated.
Seeing this, Qiu Wenruo said to Lan Ziyi anxiously:
"Weihou, time is urgent, the sooner you disperse the thieves, the sooner we can get out of danger, otherwise the powder kegs on the city wall will only explode one after another,
According to the current offensive of the thieves, Xiangcheng was broken only in a snap of his fingers. I am in charge of the construction of the city, and I also ask the Marquis to act quickly. β
Saying that, Qiu Wenruo staggered up and followed the people who carried gunpowder to the city.
Lan Ziyi took off his helmet and patted his swollen head with his hand.
On the side, Tao Zhutu was also recovering from the explosion, and after barely standing up, he came over to help Lan Ziyi.
The two of them walked towards the place where the Jihu Battalion stopped in the city, and they didn't come to their senses until they were helped to their horses by the soldiers who came to pick up the Jihu Battalion.
Peach Rabbit was surprised and said:
"The young master and I were blown up like this, that Qiu Wenruo didn't have anything to do, he vomited on the city wall just now, and I thought he was a waste."
Lan Ziyi shook his head and sobered up for a moment, glanced back at the Jihu Camp that was ready, and said:
"Mr. Wen Ruo is just not used to the battlefield for the first time,
He and all the scholars are so desperate, what reason do we have not to fight to the death? β
Beside Lan Ziyi, there was a sergeant of the Jihu Battalion who asked:
"Wei Hou, what happened on the city wall just now?"
Lan Ziyi smiled, put on the helmet that he had been holding in his hand again, and said:
"That's not a problem, I'll call it after I'm out of the city."
Then Lan Ziyi pulled out his sword, turned back to the soldiers and said:
"There are more than 100 times more thieves outside the city, and now I will take you out of the city and die for a lifetime, what do you say?"
When the soldiers of the three thousand Tiger Battalion heard this, they raised their horses and shouted in unison
"Kill only the thief, and don't hear anything else!"
Lan Ziyi looked at the soldiers with high morale, nodded silently, since leaving Beijing, it is the Jihu Battalion that has followed Lan Ziyi all the way from birth to death, Lan Ziyi and these soldiers have already established a strong friendship with blood, the soldiers respect Lan Ziyi and are good at fighting, Lan Ziyi likes the soldiers to be brave, there are generals like this, the commander is like this, why worry about not winning? Why not?
After the soldiers shouted, they followed Lan Ziyi forward,
Although it has only been closed for two days, the door latch has been full of dust, and the battle and explosion on the city wall have constantly shaken the earth chips from the top of their heads, and the moment the heavy giant tree landed, everyone had an illusion that there was no return, maybe it was not an illusion.
The soldiers of the Lingji Tiger Battalion ran out of the city gate and entered the urn city, and the people who came in with them were no longer the people, but the sergeants, they ran to open the urn city gate, and Lan Ziyi asked the soldiers in the city at this time
"Are there thieves outside the city gates?"
Although the battle on the city wall was fierce, there was not much movement at the city gate, and the defenders on the city wall of the urn city shouted to Lan Ziyi:
"Weihou, there is no one outside the city gate!"
Lan Ziyi's expression on his face relaxed a lot when he heard the news, and he immediately returned to his solemnity.
There was a loud noise at the gate of the urn city, and the city gate was about to be opened, Lan Ziyi straightened his helmet again, pulled out his sword, and asked on the side:
"Wei Hou, how do you fight after you get out of the city?"
Lan Ziyi showed a clear voice and said to all the soldiers in the urn city who were waiting to fight:
"Although there are many thieves, they are by no means invincible, and if you can kill the thief boss, you may let the thief collapse.
But the number of our army is too small, the thieves are attacking the city urgently, and the risk of beheading is too great, so we can't do this today.
What we need to do when we go out of the city today is to attack the thieves' attack on the city, repel them, and buy time for the defenders of the city to clean up the dirt mountain, as long as Qiu Wen can blow up the dirt mountain, the thieves will no longer be able to attack the city, even if we win. β
Lan Ziyi's crane sound rang for a long time, circling back and forth in the closed urn city, like the bell of the bell tower of the capital, hitting the hearts of the soldiers and urging them to move forward.
Then Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhutu:
"The city gate is not enough for thousands of people to charge together, General Zhutu led the team out to charge the thieves first, and I followed later."
Tao Zhutu nodded, hurriedly came to the front of the formation to order people, he turned back to Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou must be careful, don't take risks."
Lan Ziyi advised:
"You just need to rush the thief formation and buy time for the main force behind you to unfold."
Tao Zhutu laughed twice as an answer, and called three hundred of his men.
"Bang!" With a bang, the gates of the city were opened, and the last barrier between the defenders and the thieves outside the city no longer existed.
Peach Rabbit let out a long howl and shouted:
"Come with me, brethren!"
Saying that, he rushed out first,
The three hundred knights who had been hit by him followed, and they came out with their horses,
Seeing these three hundred vanguard soldiers rushing out of the city gate, hearing the shouts of metal collision and flesh and blood fighting outside the city, Lan Ziyi knew that Tao Zhutu had already led people to rush in, and he had to keep up as soon as possible, and spread out his soldiers outside the city at the moment when the thieves were just shocked and chaotic, if the two armies were connected a little slowly, the three hundred soldiers of the vanguard would be drowned by the vast sea of thieves.
So Lan Ziyi shouted:
"Let's go!"
The main forces of the Tiger Battalion followed Lan Ziyi and let out a long roar, and they poured out of the city gate one after another.
Lan Ziyi clenched the reins, and only thought about getting out of the city as soon as possible to support Tao Zhutu, the thieves attacked the city fiercely, and the number of people occupied an absolute advantage, and Tao Zhutu couldn't get much cheap.
In Lan Ziyi's expectation, after only such a moment's delay, Tao Zhutu should have been surrounded by thieves.
But after leaving the city, the scene he saw was completely beyond Lan Ziyi's expectations, not only were the three hundred soldiers who chased the rabbit not surrounded, but they were like carp in water, swimming and killing like the wind in the thief array.
It turned out that the front row of the thieves were almost all archers in order to siege the city, and the infantry who raised the big shield also shot bows and arrows on the defensive city wall.
Moreover, after a long time of ascending to the city, coupled with the return fire of the archers in the city, the thieves in the formation were tired and tired at this time, the front line was loose, and the original heavily armored warriors died on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Lan Ziyi said loudly:
"God help me!" Even if the thieves are taught by the surrendered officers and soldiers, they are not well-trained soldiers in the end, and they will still cause great chaos when carrying out such a large-scale change of formation, and they are not prepared for a possible surprise attack in the city.
Lan Ziyi originally planned to let the main force of the Jihu Battalion charge after it was fully deployed outside the city, but now it is no longer necessary, so Ying Dao took this opportunity to completely crush the thieves.
So Lan Ziyi gave an order to the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who had just finished leaving the city and had not yet lined up
"Attack the thieves, follow the direction of the general chasing rabbit, and attack north."
After hearing the order, the soldiers hurriedly clamped the belly of the horse, and the cavalry reluctantly lined up to keep up with the three hundred pioneers of Tao Chashou.
The soldiers in the front row put the horse lance flat, and the soldiers in the back row first pulled the bow and released a round of arrows.
The fierce arrows were even more rapid under the acceleration of the horses, and after cutting a low arc in the air, they grazed the body of the peach and rabbit and hit the thieves in front of them who were messily trying to resist, and instantly shot down a large area of the dense thieves, and the forward road led by the peach and rabbit was immediately emptied.
The knights who followed behind pierced all the standing thieves in their field of vision with their long galleys, and the short soldiers in their hands fell into the dirt under their feet before they could touch the wooden handle of the horses.
The main force led by Tao Zhutu and Lan Ziyi, who were charging forward, converged, and all the thieves who stood between them and in front of them had all died.
Peach Rabbit smiled:
"Wei Hou, you're robbing me of my credit!"
Lan Ziyi ordered:
"Keep moving, don't stop, don't rush into the bandit formation and stretch out, go north along the city wall, and sweep away the enemy thieves!"
