Chapter 172: Slam the door twice and take the camp
At the gate of the wall
The cavalry of the Jin army with a "self-made wood" offensive is gratifying, but on the walled tower, Liu Yong is not waiting to see a good show.
As early as when Yan Kui rushed over with the cavalry, he ordered the archers under his command to release arrows, although the Jin army's raiding cavalry was heavily armoured, and the defense of the bow and arrow was greatly increased, but the people had armor to protect themselves, and the horses under them were not so lucky.
Because of the swift speed of the raiding troops, most of the cavalry's horses were not armored.
Therefore, in the face of arrows flying like meteors, many horses were miserably hit by arrows, carrying their masters and staggering to the ground, or wailing, or dying in the Yellow Spring.
Drawing his waist knife, Yan Kui swung the knife in one hand and danced the mace in the other, knocking down the arrows that were shooting at him, and then roared at the wood-smashing cavalry who had fallen because of the arrow array attack.
"Don't care, give me all my strength to attack the door, and the rest of the people cover for them, ride archers, and shoot back for me along the walled tower."
As soon as Yan Kui's words came out, the cavalry in charge of attacking the gate regained their strength, and the cavalry around them also surrounded them one after another, blocking arrows for the attacking cavalry with weapons and flesh and blood.
At the same time, some skilled archers also withdrew from the main bow and arrow coverage area of the Zhou army in the camp, took out the bow and arrow behind their backs, and while wandering around the periphery of the wall, they aimed at the Zhou army behind the female wall of the wall, and fired back with bows and arrows.
It's a pity that the skill of riding and archery requires a certain level of attainment in riding and archery, so most of the cavalry do not have this ability, and the 3,000 cavalry led by Yan Kui can immediately draw a bow of less than 200 people.
Fortunately, although the number of these cavalry archers is small, they are much better than those archers who defend the village, so at the beginning, the Zhou army of the walled building suffered a lot of losses.
By the time Liu Yong reacted, many of the archers of the Zhou army no longer dared to emerge from the female wall and drop arrows.
……………
"A bunch of waste bastards, all dodge, not allowed to hide, all shoot down for Lao Tzu, and they must not be allowed to attack.
Jiang Daya, take people to move the stone and wood, make a fire and burn oil, Lao Tzu wants to make the surname Yan unable to eat and walk around. ”
Liu slashed to death an archer who was retreating to dodge the arrows with a sword, and then warned the timid Zhou soldiers with a fierce face, and then told Jiang Daya to go to fetch the ordnance and supplies for the defense of the city.
"Yes, Captain."
Jiang Daya looked at Liu Yong, whose eyes had begun to turn a little red, and knew that the situation was urgent, so he turned around and left with the two soldiers.
After he left, Liu Yong handed the sword in his hand to the guards behind him: "Liu San, you take a team of people to watch from the walled tower, whoever dares to be cowardly in the battle will be immediately killed." ”
Liu San held Liu Yong's sword in both hands, and was slightly stunned: "I'm guarding here, Du Wei, what about you?" ”
Liu Yong smiled, snatched the spear in the hand of a soldier a few steps away, and said: "Yan Kui's attack on the dog day is too fierce, I'm afraid the gate of the village won't be able to hold it for too long, Lao Tzu has to go over and watch it in person." ”
"Zhaimen?"
Liu San's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but grab Liu Yong, who was about to leave, and persuaded him repeatedly: "Captain, it's too dangerous down there, let's let my subordinates go down, you can command all the departments to defend the city here." ”
"Fart."
Liu Yong shook off Liu San's hand: "When the is this, Lao Tzu still cares about this, the gate can't be guarded, and it's too late for Yan Kui to come in."
Remember, when Jiang Daya comes back, let him increase the intensity of the attack on it for me, and be sure to share the pressure for the Zhaimen. ”
After that, Liu Yong grabbed the spear he snatched over, and with more than 100 Zhou soldiers, he quickly rushed to the gate of the village along the stairs to support.
This unknown little military attache in the Zhou army, in the face of the fierce Yan Kui and the three thousand Jin army iron cavalry, there was no cowardice in his body, and he fought with all his strength.
……………
"Open it all for me"
Coincidentally, Liu Yong was full of perseverance in the village, and Yan Kui downstairs was even more murderous.
Seeing that the gate of the village had become crumbling under the attack of the wood, but it was almost so breathless, Yan Kui's blood and qi were surging in his heart, and he couldn't care about it, so he let the cavalry get out of the way with a burst of shouts in his mouth, picked up the mace in his hand, and galloped towards the gate with his arms, and smashed down towards the gate with his arms clenched.
bang
The hardwood gate shook three times, and it seemed that it was already in danger.
Seeing this, Yan Kui ignored his arms that were still numb, pulled the reins, let the Red Flame Pony retreat dozens of steps, and swung his stick to open a few bows and arrows that were shot at him, and Yan Kui smashed the door again according to the steps just now.
Bang dang
The right half of the door broke a big hole directly from the middle, and the left half of the door fell directly to the ground, pressing down more than a dozen Zhou soldiers who were desperately arriving at the door just now.
The gate of the village opened, and Yan Kui, the initiator, was only slightly stunned, and then rushed in along the gate of the wall, with the mace in his hand dancing lightly twice, and the two soldiers of Zhou who looked confused fell to the ground in a parabola.
One dead and one wounded.
"Kill."
Seeing that the main general was killed alone, the rest of the Jin cavalry also came back to their senses, and followed Yan Kui to kill the Zhou soldiers who were blocking the gate of the village.
This group of Jin cavalry are all selected from hundreds of thousands of elites, each with one as ten, they rushed to kill with all their might, these ordinary Zhou troops guarding the village are not opponents at all, the army formation of three or four hundred people is stunned and wiped out by the Jin cavalry.
This is also because of the tight terrain, and the Jin cavalry cannot charge with horsepower, otherwise the battle will end faster.
…………
As Yan Kui sent someone to shout for the Zhou army to surrender, he also told his subordinates to go to the position left behind by Changbang to inform the situation of the battle, thinking that the battle was under control.
The monk Guangshan came to report that Liu Yong, the guard of the Zhou army's camp, gathered nearly 1,000 remnants of soldiers and was fighting with the Jin cavalry in front, intending to prevent the Jin army from taking over the camp.
"Dog skin plaster, it's quite difficult."
As an enemy, Yan Kui would not have any good impression of Liu Yong, who resisted him tenaciously, in fact, he was very annoyed by Liu Yong, who had caused many casualties in the Jin army.
Now hearing that the other party was dying, Yan Kui cursed, and immediately summoned a few Jin generals who came with him to attack the village and gave an order.
With half of the troops in each part, dismount and fight with the Zhou army on foot, and be sure to destroy the remnants of the Zhou army before the arrival of the main force.
As soon as Yan Kui gave an order, these fierce generals who were specially transferred from the 400,000 Jin army departments couldn't wait to lead the Jin cavalry who dismounted to kill the Zhou soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in various corners of the village.
As I said before, these cavalry are all elites selected from the Jin army, and they are good at horse warfare when they get on their horses, and they are also good at foot combat when they get off their horses.
In addition, there were those wolf-like fierce generals taking the lead, although they were not familiar with the environment of the Zhou army, they still quickly took over the rhythm of the war, and killed the Zhou army under the command of Liu Yong, losing their armor and losing their armor.
It was almost dawn, and the fighting in the altar cottage gradually died down.
The casualties of the 2,000 battalion Zhou army were as high as seventy, and the main general Liu Yong was hacked to death by the Jin army, and his personal guard Liu San also went with the lord, but it was Jiang Daya who took the initiative to surrender after Liu Yong's death and became a prisoner.
is also because Jiang Daya's level is considered a high-level in the camp, after surrendering, he was brought to Yan Kui by the Jin army to ask for information about Ping'an Town.
Although because of the death of his old boss Liu Yong, Jiang Daya had some hostility and hatred towards Yan Kui in his heart.
But the nostalgia for his own life also made Jiang Daya hide these negative emotions about Yan Kui in his heart, and then when facing Yan Kui's inquiry, he honestly knew everything and said everything.
After asking for information from Jiang Daya, Yan Kui's impression of Ping'an Town had a more realistic comparison, and at this time, Chang Bang also led the remaining main cavalry to the camp after receiving Yan Kui's news.
The battle for the raid on the granary of Ping'an Town has finally reached the most critical moment...............
