Chapter 93: Counterattack (2)
There were a few orders from the angel army, and the flanking soldiers without shield protection quickly took two steps back, and the angel soldiers with spears in their hands stepped forward, and immediately half-crouched on the ground, the back ends of the spears poked on the ground, and the three rows of spears were neatly arranged, which was a small horse rejection array.
Several Sui cavalrymen who rushed too fast did not stop their horses, and ran into the hedgehog-like horse rejection array, and for a moment people turned on their backs, and blood splashed everywhere.
The soldiers in the first row maintained a half-crouching position, with the spears pointing diagonally upward. The blood of men and horses trickled down the barrels of their spears, staining their hands and arms red. Someone was crushed by a warhorse, and the gap was quickly replenished by other robes. Those who were not affected clenched their teeth and remained motionless like stone carvings.
The second-row sergeant laid his spear flat on the shoulders of the first-row sergeant, the spear pointed straight forward, and the tip hung with broken flesh. The spears of the third row of soldiers were placed on the shoulders of the second row of soldiers, and the spear edge was two feet higher than the previous row, and there was no chance to make contact with the enemy, and the cold and cold were flashing with blue light.
It's a standard infantry versus cavalry battle formation, like a steel hedgehog with its body curled up, leaving the enemy at bay.
And behind these pikemen, the angel sergeant with an angel crossbow with a blazing gaze, not afraid of the Sui cavalry roaring at all.
Xin Wenli always felt that something was wrong, and the sixth sense had a sense of foreboding.
……
At this time, a large number of elite cavalry of the Sui army and the angel army rejected the horse formation and collided. The snapping of spears, the whistling of sabers, and the bowstrings of angelic crossbows shattered the originally quiet night in an instant, replaced by bloody killings.
The flames soared into the sky, and the angel army had no need to hide its whereabouts, the fire fold was ignited, and one rocket after another pierced through the darkness and sank into the camp of the Sui army in front.
In desperation, Xin Wenli hurriedly ordered hundreds of people to go to put out the fire. The rest of the elite government army continued to exterminate this sneak attack angel army.
The angel army array was like an iron tortoise, although it slowly retreated under the squeeze of the Sui army's infantry cavalry, there was no possibility of collapse.
It seems that this phalanx is only less than a thousand people, and it carries weapons such as large shields and fire arrows, which are definitely not for sneak attacks. Xin Wenli secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, no matter how stupid a person is, he will not only send less than a thousand people and then run out of the city with these things to sneak attack!
……
Outside the Sui army.
Pan Jiang and Ouyang Yong glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
"This time, it hurt Brother Wu Lei." Pan Jiang looked at the sky-high flames in front of him, and pulled out his waist knife, "Let's hurry up and act, the queen is watching from behind." And if the new Wenli reacts, it will really fall short. ”
"Brothers, the survival of Pingnan Prefecture is at stake, kill here!" Ouyang Yong let out a low roar and rode his horse straight away!
In the darkness, a hundred black-clothed cavalry were like a sharp sword, bursting out of its sheath!
On the galloping horseback, the black-clothed guards have raised crossbows to shoot, Xia Xue issued crossbows to the black-clothed guards are relatively lightweight, after the design of Xia Xue, who is proficient in geometric mathematics, not only marked the scale of Arabic numerals on the crossbow blades, but also adjusted the position between the lookout mountain, and the card slot and the string hanging point, and truly realized its three points into a straight line. Although the firing range is not as long as the foot-assisted Angel Crossbow used by the infantry, it is sufficient for guards to sneak up on enemy troops at close range.
The dense array of arrows covered the already small arrow towers behind the camp, and the Sui soldiers on the arrow towers had not even had time to spot the enemy who had suddenly emerged from the darkness.
The thin gate of the camp could not stop the onslaught of the cavalry, and a hundred cavalry roared in the darkness like a wolf in the sheepfold. A fire fold was thrown to the nearest camp tent, and what was even more fortunate was that the grain and grass of the Sui army was near the left side of the back door, and the fire fold was thrown up, and a raging fire was immediately rolled up, and the entire Sui army rear village was shrouded in smoke and flames!
……
"Houzhai enemy attack!" Xin Wenli's roar was hoarse, and he didn't expect that he had calculated everything, but in the end, he was recognized by the little girl Queen Angel.
He didn't expect that the little girl would send a sneak attack team to feint against Qianzhai and attract all his elite government troops to Qianzhai.
And the real sneak attack team quietly went around to his now weak defense.
"What a move!" Xin Wenli lamented.
……
The back village is now in a mess, pikemen, shield soldiers, and crossbowmen are running around, and they have long been soldiers and generals who are not subordinate to each other, and they cannot form an army.
In the blazing firelight, a beautiful little girl, wearing a blue helmet and blue jacket and trousers, heroic, like a flaming phoenix, holding a cold and shining Tang knife, slashing left and right in the enemy, as if entering a no-man's land, the delicate voice revealed the majesty: "Kill, angel army warriors!" Release all the enemy's horses! ”
The black-clothed guards swung their swords and slashed at the ropes that tied the horses to the stables, and then drove the frightened Sui horses, charging towards the continuous enemy camps in front of them.
The neighing of the war horse was accompanied by the rumbling sound of iron hooves stepping on the ground, the earth was trembling, and the frightened war horse was like a roaring and tumbling tide, the sound was huge, the power was amazing, and it swept over the ground, like a dead iron stream, and the Sui army, which could not dodge, was immediately trampled into a mess of mud by countless horse hooves.
The entire Sui army back village has been in chaos.
Just when the entire Sui army camp was on the verge of collapse, a full 400 angel army cavalry swept like a black whirlwind, and the saber flashed cold, cutting off the heads of more than a dozen Sui army sentry riders. At this critical juncture, Dugu Jun led 400 cavalry reinforcements to arrive as scheduled. This new force that suddenly surrendered became the last straw that crushed the entire Sui army camp, and the entire Sui army camp completely collapsed......
The sound of the angel army's killing came from a distance, and the angel soldiers on the city of Pingnan Prefecture, who were ready to meet their robes at any time, burst into cheers.
Looking at the soaring flames and the retreating Sui army, Zhao Ning slapped the city wall fiercely: "Your Majesty, it's good!" The order went down, and the departments went out of the city in turn and killed Lao Tzu fiercely! ”
The west gate of Pingnan Prefecture, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and the blue flag of the angel country was in front, and the angel defenders and young and middle-aged people who stayed behind stepped on the corpses of the enemy all over the ground, walked past the siege ladder truck that had been burned and collapsed, and the swords and guns in their hands pointed straight ahead.
……
Although it was a bit tragic, the Angel Army won this battle after all!
It's getting brighter.
Xin Wenli's Jianzhou County Township Army was completely annihilated, and although his Jianzhou Prefecture Army retreated in time, it also suffered more than half of the casualties.
There was a smell of burnt flesh in the air, it was very unpleasant, looking at the corpses of the Sui army all over the mountains and a large amount of grain, grass, equipment, and baggage discarded, Xia Xue did not indulge in the joy of victory, she immediately ordered the Sui army to retreat from the Angel Army, militia and other armed organizations along the way, and tried every means to delay the pace of Xin Wenli's escape back to Jianzhou. At the same time, he urgently ordered the bearded man to lead a naval army of 2,000 people to go up the Min River and take Jianzhou City by sneak attack before Xin Wenli fled back to Jianzhou.
She selected a thousand elites from the defenders of the Angel Army in Pingnan Prefecture, Dugu Jun's reinforcements and black-clothed guards, and temporarily formed an Angel Army cavalry brigade with thousands of Sui army war horses she had captured, and quickly chased after the fleeing Sui army of Xinwenli. One is to prepare to follow the rout of Xin Wenli, looking for an opportunity to bite off a few more pieces of his meat; The second is to assist the Angel Army militia along the way to delay the speed of Xin Wenli's escape back to Jianzhou City, and cooperate with the sneak attack of the bearded guest's naval army.
Under the obstruction and harassment of the militia along the way, and under the tail bite of the Xia Xue cavalry brigade, the defeated Xinwenli Sui army retreated to Jianzhou like a snail. The Sui army, which could rush back to Jianzhou in five days at the earliest, was delayed on the road for more than ten days.
The bearded guest finally lived up to expectations, led two thousand angel sailors, and rushed to Jianzhou City along the Min River before Xin Wenli.
Because Xin Wenli almost poured out of the eastward crusade against the angel rebels this time, he thought that in front of his elite Sui army in Jianzhou Mansion, a group of rabble led by a little girl must be vulnerable, so most of the Sui troops left behind in Jianzhou City were old, weak, sick and disabled. These Sui troops who stayed in Jianzhou City never dreamed that the angel army would attack from the waterway, so the elite of the angel army led by the bearded guest was caught off guard and quickly defeated the city.
Xin Wenli, who finally escaped back to Jianzhou, after being surrounded and intercepted along the way, consumed the remnants of less than 1,000 people left, and Xin Wenli, who was already emaciated, was shocked to see that Jianzhou City had fallen into the hands of the angel army, and couldn't help but be angry, spit blood, and fainted. The generals Zuo Tiancheng and Wu Tianxi saw that they were desperate, so they had to protect the comatose Xin Wenli all the way north and flee to Jinling.
After capturing Jianzhou City, Xia Xuetong ordered to reward the Angel Army soldiers who fought in Pingnan Prefecture and the Angel Army warriors who attacked Yong'ancang and Jianzhou City, commending them for their great contributions and sacrifices to these three decisive battles.
After hearing these bad news, the officials and troops of the Sui Dynasty in Minzhou lost their morale and had no hope for the future, and finally held out for another ten days before opening the city and surrendering.
Xia Xue finally controlled the entire territory of Fujian in less than a year, and soon sent the naval marshal Qiu Huke to lead the naval army to occupy Yizhou (later Taiwan), and finally had his first relatively large base in the south.
Located in the east of Minzhou and the north bank of the Minjiang River, Minzhou Drum Mountain is the most famous scenic spot in Minzhou. The highest peak of Gushan Mountain is 925 meters above sea level, and there are many scenic spots on the mountain, and the forest ravines are beautiful and fascinating. It is called Drum Mountain because there is a huge stone like a drum at the peak, whenever the wind and rain are combined, there is the sound of dusting.
At dawn, Xia Xue climbed to the top of the Drum Mountain in Minzhou, only to see the white fog between the peaks. After about seven or eight minutes, the eastern sky appeared white, so soft and so smooth. It expands as if it were going to flood the mountains. Its base is slightly reddish, and the clouds around it are whitish......
After a while, the pale red deepened, and the area grew larger and larger, illuminating the adjacent clouds as well. At this moment, the eastern sky turned red, and at the easternmost end of the overlapping peaks, it was the most intense and vivid, as if a burning fire was spreading. At this moment, the edge of the red silk curtain opened a corner, and an arc of the sun appeared, and it rose with great effort, turning into a semicircle, and with a strong light, tearing the surrounding red silk curtain to shreds.
The semicircle kept rising, getting rounder and rounder, like a fireball dancing in the sky, and finally broke free from the ground.
Suddenly, it turned into a dazzling light and sprinkled all things on the earth, brilliant and shining.
Xia Xue, a small spark from the future, has already ignited a prairie fire in Fujian.
