Chapter 499: We Must Save Them
Zhang Guigui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That's right, Brother You will definitely come to save us." Hou Cheng, let's go to the village first. ”
Hou Cheng felt that what Qualcomm said made sense, so he stopped insisting. He got on the horse, supported by Zhang Guigui, and everyone ran towards the village not far away.
At this moment, the scout sent by Xue Rengui came over.
Zhang Guigui said: "You go back immediately, just say that we are in the village in front of us and waiting for help." ”
The scout immediately flew away.
At this time, Xue Rengui led the officers and men of the First Army and the Second Army along the route set off by Zhang Guigui and others, and was searching for their whereabouts.
On the wharf of Xinyou Port, Cheng Yanjin and Sima Jiong were organizing people to get on the boat immediately, when they saw Li You coming, they stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, why did you come down?" ”
Li You said: "They haven't come back yet, and I'm not sure." ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "According to the itinerary, the main force of the enemy army will not be able to rush here for the time being, Xue Rengui has already taken the men and horses of the two armies to meet them, and they should be fine." ”
Li You nodded, and looked vigorously in the direction where Zhang Guigui and the others left. He said: "Zhou Qing, you take a squadron to take a look, adapt to the situation, and be sure to rescue Zhang Guigui and them." ”
Zhou Qing took the order and set off.
Besides, Zhang Guigui and the others entered the village, and they only had less than 300 people able to fight, and it was impossible to hold the entire village, so they all entered the two mansions in the southeast corner of the village.
Immediately, they were surrounded by enemy troops. The enemy army had a total of 5,000 people, and they left 1,500 people to besiege Zhang Guigui and others, and the rest of the men and horses continued to attack and advance in the direction of the port.
Zhang Guigui and Gao Tong sent people to open up the two courtyards and defend one courtyard each, and Hou Cheng went to the roof with a lightly wounded man who could shoot arrows.
As soon as they were arranged, the enemy offensive began.
The mansion occupied by the Tang army was the largest in the village, and the archers on the roof condescended to suppress the enemy's attack, inflicting considerable casualties on the enemy. The enemy troops also went up to the roof to shoot at the Tang army, reducing the threat of the Tang army's archers.
The rest of the enemy troops, taking advantage of the cover of houses and walls, surrounded the houses occupied by the Don troops.
"Tong, Tong, Tong", the door of the house was violently slammed from the outside, and it would fall down at any time. The Tang army, guarding the gate, stared at the gate, ready to fight the enemy army.
With a "bang", the door finally collapsed with the sound of the wind.
A group of enemy soldiers rushed in, and they were greeted by a dozen square shields and spears sticking out of the gaps between the square shields, and the enemy troops hastily resisted a few times, dropped a few corpses, and retreated.
After a short time, the enemy army began to attack again, and the first was also a large group of shield bearers, and the shields of both sides collided together, and they could not help each other, so they fought their physical strength, and as a result, they were stalemate there.
Seeing that they could not break through the gate for a while, the enemy climbed up from the walls on all sides, and were stabbed with spears one by one by the Tang troops under the walls that had been waiting for a long time. The enemy army was outnumbered, and people were constantly climbing up.
An enemy officer climbed the wall, blocked the spears of the Tang army with his shield, jumped into the courtyard, and several Tang soldiers swarmed up, and the enemy officers were outnumbered and killed in a few clicks. In this way, the enemy army jumped in sporadically, and gave their lives in vain, but they still couldn't help the Tang army.
Soon after, the enemy forces figured out a way, they removed the girders from some houses and reorganized the attack.
At the gate, the enemy's shield bearer retreated, and then, under the cover of the shield bearer, a thick beam stretched in, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers held the beam and hit the shield blocked by the Tang army at the door.
The huge impact force of the beam acted on one of the shields of the Tang army, and the Tang army behind could not resist such a huge force no matter what, and it was suddenly rushed open a gap, and the enemy troops rushed in.
Zhang Guigui took 30 Tang troops as a reserve and stayed in the center of the courtyard, ready to support the Tang troops everywhere. He saw that there was a dangerous situation at the gate, and immediately rushed over with these Tang troops, and the enemy and us started a desperate battle at the gate.
After a fierce battle, the Tang army relied on sophisticated equipment to gain the upper hand and drove the enemy out of the army.
Soon after, the enemy changed tactics and began to ram the walls with beams.
With a "boom", a large hole was knocked open in a wall, and Zhang Guigui hurriedly led people to reinforcements.
There was another "boom", and another wall was also knocked into a big hole, and Zhang Guigui had to divide his troops to support.
Then there was a crashing sound on the courtyard walls in other places.
Xue Rengui received the scout's report, and hurriedly ran towards the village where Zhang Guigui and the others were in distress, and at the same time sent someone to report the situation of Zhang Guigui and the others to Li You and Cheng Yanjin.
Just when Xue Rengui's troops came to a place six or seven miles away from the village where Zhang Guigui and the others were, they saw a large number of enemy cavalry troops.
The infantry was obviously at a disadvantage against the cavalry, and the only way to deal with the cavalry was to rely on the battle formation. Xue Rengui ordered the troops to stop advancing, the first army was on the left, the second army was on the right, he led 200 cavalry in the center, and set up a three-talent formation of heaven and earth.
When the enemy saw the Tang army arrayed, on the one hand, several small units were divided into several small units to outflank the Tang army and cut off the Tang army's communication and communication, and on the other hand, they concentrated their main forces in front of the Tang army, preparing to attack the Tang army.
One of the enemy generals, came to the front of the battle and challenged the Don army.
Cheng Chuliang took the lead, and slapped his horse and raised his gun to meet him. The two didn't understand the language, and they fought together as soon as they met.
The enemy's general also held a spear in his hand, and after a few rounds of fighting between the two, Cheng Chuliang detected the enemy's reality and knew that he was sure to defeat him, so he took the initiative to launch a fierce attack.
After the enemy general parried for a few rounds, he was in a hurry, and was stabbed in the waist by Cheng Chuliang with a shot, and fell off the horse.
Seeing Cheng Chuliang's victory, Tang Jun cheered together.
At this time, two generals came out from the enemy's camp and came to attack Cheng Liang. The officers and men of the Tang Dynasty despised the scoundrels of the enemy army and scolded them one after another.
Xue Rengui was unhappy when he saw the enemy fighting two and one, and killed an enemy general with an arrow. The remaining enemy general gritted his teeth and rushed towards Cheng Chuliang, and in less than ten rounds, he was stabbed under the horse by Cheng Chuliang.
The enemy commander saw that the fighting generals could not fight the Tang army, so he no longer sent people out to challenge, but waved the command flag and urged the cavalry forward, to use the impact of the cavalry to defeat the Tang army.
In order to maintain the physical strength of the horses, the enemy cavalry advanced slowly, slowly began to accelerate, and when they reached 150 paces, they began to run, and when they reached 100 paces, the horses accelerated to their maximum speed and began to gallop.
"Boom", thousands of war horses galloped in unison, the earth trembled, and the Baekje cavalry rushed towards the Tang army.
