Chapter 237: Iron Floating Massacre
Seeing that Wenda was speechless, Li Cheng said again: "This time the team can't safely withdraw into the city, and it is also related to the pioneer Suo Chao descending thieves." He led thousands of soldiers, without moving a single sword or arrow, and all of them surrendered to thieves! ”
At this time, Wen Song interjected again: "Suo Chao has already had the heart of a thief, and he privately released Lu Junyi first, and led the crowd to join the thief later." There are internal thieves who are obstructing, it seems that Li Tianwang lost this battle unjustly! ”
After hearing this, Wen Da was furious and said: "No wonder our army was defeated so quickly and tragically, it turns out that there are internal ghosts!" Immediately arrest Suo Chao's family and put him in prison, and in the coming day, he will meet the enemy and capture Suo Chao and behead him! ”
Wen Dadao definitely didn't believe that Ma Wangye had three eyes, a group of rabble grass cobs, but he dared to shout in front of the famous officers and soldiers, could he swallow this breath after a long time on the battlefield?
No way! He wants to personally weigh the severity of the thieves and see if these thieves are really as powerful as Li Cheng said? So he gave up Li Cheng's suggestion to hold on, personally led his troops to line up, and confronted the Liangshan men and horses in front of the Dongcheng Gate.
In addition to dispatching a powerful infantry phalanx, Wenda also had 4,000 cavalry on both sides to attack at any time, surround and divide the opponent and support the infantry at any time.
The head of the city was densely packed with divine arm bows and bed crossbows, which were condescending and increased the range, and it was obvious that he wanted to cause the opponent's casualties to the greatest extent before fighting with the Liangshan people and horses.
And he himself personally led two hundred guards with big swords, sat in the Chinese army, and strictly ordered: If there is a cowardly retreat, behead!
In front of the east gate of Beijing, the guns are like a forest, the knives are cold and light, the flags are hunting, and the drums are like thunder. The soldiers on both sides were like tigers before going down the mountain, their eyes were full of murderous aura, and they had the domineering spirit to swallow the opponent in one bite.
At this time, the cold air was also like a sharp blade, cruising in the necks of the soldiers on both sides, and it felt like it was in danger of cutting the throat at any time.
Song Jiang did not use artillery fire to break up the phalanx of officers and soldiers this time, and that kind of fighting made the officers and men feel aggrieved, and it would also make the officers and men feel greater anger in their hearts, and produce a hatred of life and death at any time.
This time, Song Jiang wanted to show Liang Shanbo's absolute strength, so that the officers and soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion felt fear from the depths of their souls, shuddered in their bones, and knocked out what little morale they had.
Now the greater threat to the Liangshan army is the god arm bow and bed crossbow at the head of the city, this kind of arrow can completely penetrate the thick armor, Song Jiang will not be stupid enough to let the brothers charge in the rain of arrows.
Instead of artillery fire, hit the phalanx, use artillery to hit the head of the city, and destroy the defensive equipment of the officers and soldiers at the head of the city. Then Lin Chong commanded the light cavalry to protect the two wings, with 5,000 infantry in the rear, and Hu Yanzhuo led a brigade of heavy cavalry, ready to storm the infantry phalanx of officers and soldiers.
The flag was raised, and the artillery fired.
Immediately the deafening sound of cannons sounded over the city, and the shouts and groans of the city were intertwined, and the sound of all kinds of equipment being exploded was intertwined. In front of the east gate, the smoke was filled with gunpowder, and the dust was flying, as if covering several layers of thick curtains, and the outside could not see the situation outside the city, and the outside could not see the situation on the city head.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Hu Yanzhuo led the heavy cavalry to roar out of the sea like a burst of the embankment, rushing towards the infantry phalanx.
The heavy cavalry men and horses are all wearing heavy armor, only the eyes are exposed, unless it is a powerful weapon such as a divine arm bow and a crossbow bed, ordinary arrows do not work at all, unless an arrow happens to hit the eye, otherwise it is like a mud pellet hitting a cow, and it is insignificant.
Now the head of the city has been bombed to pieces, hastily rearranged, and besides, you can't see the situation outside when the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and you are afraid of accidentally injuring your own people by shooting arrows. Despite the timidity of the officers and soldiers, none of them retreated, because to retreat was death, and the two hundred beheaded imps led by Wenda were waiting for the deserters. Android
The heavy horse's hooves fell to the ground and splashed dust, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing were intertwined like an earthquake, and the hearts of the officers and men, who were already trembling with their legs, began to tremble.
After seeing clearly the hoplite cavalry rushing in front of them, their hearts seemed to be unable to bear the expansion of fear, and they were about to break into pieces, helpless, dumbfounded, and their minds were blank, how could they be such devilish cavalrymen? Not afraid of arrows, like iron towers squeezing over.
As the hoplites approached, the phalanx of officers and soldiers was a little scattered, and the infantry showed signs of fleeing.
The hoplites in front had already charged into the phalanx, their heavy swords arcing through the air, and then swept across the front row of pikemen. Most of the spears were knocked out by the Mo knife, some officers and soldiers with little strength couldn't hold it, the spears flew out of their hands, and some of the spearmen's spears pierced into the body of the heavy cavalry through the thick armor, but they couldn't stop the impact of the horses running, and even the people and horses crashed into the officers and soldiers, breaking through the spear array of the outermost defense of the phalanx, and the heavy cavalry behind followed and picked up the Mo knife and slashed at the officers and soldiers.
In this way, the inner layer of sword and shield men and archers only have the share of slaughter, compared to the pikemen in the weapon is relatively advantageous, they have a long weapon in their hands, if several people are not afraid of life and death to stab the spear at a target, this heavy cavalry will not die and have to lose the skin. But the sword and shield men and archers suffered a big loss in weapons, most of them fought with waist knives, and within the range of the attack arc of the Mo knife, they had nothing to do, it can be said that they were injured when they touched it, and they died when they touched it.
The officers and soldiers of the phalanx, which were already dense, were now slashed and trampled by the heavy cavalry swords that rushed into the phalanx, and there were countless casualties. The officers and soldiers in the inner layer immediately fled outward, even if the generals drank orders, they couldn't stop it, the left and right were dead, and there was still a glimmer of life if they escaped, leaving the only way to die in the fight.
Wenda saw that the phalanx was broken, and the officers and soldiers would definitely become defeated if they were not strained. Wen Dashuai waved his flag, and a thousand cavalry on each side immediately roared.
Seeing this, Song Jiang on the side of the Liangshan Army immediately sent one regiment of light cavalry each to meet the enemy and surround the two wings of the heavy cavalry. The difference in the weapons of the two sides was immediately apparent, and the light cavalry of Liangshanbo fired with high-quality repeater crossbows, and before the two sides made contact, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers was reduced by half. By the time the two sides were intertwined, the frightened officers and soldiers had already been scattered in formation under the impact of the well-disciplined and well-trained Liangshan light cavalry, fighting on their own, and they did not care about self-preservation.
The phalanx was in chaos, the cavalry was destroyed again, and the thief infantry also rushed into the battlefield. At this time, Wen Da realized that the defeat of this battle was decided, this group of thieves was not a rabble, their strength was much stronger than the officers and soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion, and they were definitely not opponents in the field, and sticking to it was the right way, and they should not listen to Li Cheng's words.
But now it is difficult to ride a tiger, if the order is given to retreat, the thieves will definitely rush into the city wrapped in the defeated army, and if they do not retreat, the officers and soldiers outside the city will become fat on the other party's chopping board.
At this time, Wen Song approached Wen Da and whispered: "Uncle, now that the defeat has been decided, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, or retreat into the city first and then find a good plan to break the thief!" ”
Wen Da also said in a low voice: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, now we are afraid that we will not be able to advance or retreat, and it will be dangerous to retreat from Beijing City!" ”
Wen Song whispered a few more words in Wen Da's ear, and Wen Da nodded after hearing it. He then ordered the remaining 2,000 cavalry to go into battle, and a part of the motorized infantry also joined the battlefield, with heavy drums and a desperate appearance.
On the battlefield, the soldiers were fighting desperately, but Wenda quietly led the rest of the team into the city, and then closed the city gate tightly, and the officers and soldiers outside had become outcasts.
In such a situation, who will still fight, the officers and soldiers have surrendered or fled. The army of Liangshanbo did not take advantage of the victory to attack the city, and retreated to the camp to rest after cleaning up the battlefield.
After this battle, the officers and soldiers feared the Liangshan army like a tiger, and the heavy cavalry was also regarded as an invincible god of war by the officers and soldiers.
Iron Float.
Invincible.
