Chapter 548: Breaking the Castle

Li Enmao and Li Jian respectively commanded tens of thousands of troops, one of them was the henchman lackey of the Son of Heaven, and the other was the person of Han Zhong, the left minister, Li Jian was the Son of Heaven personally ordered to guard Yuguan, and he did not interfere in the affairs ahead, so he could wait for the news of the victory in the rear. If Xu Ziwei wanted to gain military prestige, he had to go forward, but it happened to fall into the hands of Li Enmao.

It is strange that Xu Ziwei did not complain, this is a clear target.

The generals around were silent, state affairs are like this, and these big men are still intriguing.

It was almost noon, and the sun finally had some heat, Xu Ziwei gathered his cloak and said to everyone: "In two hours, there will be nothing to do today." ”

A military commander said: "The battle report from yesterday is that Jinzhou is surrounded by a long trench, the battle is scorching, and the losses on both sides are not small. ”

The commander of the other army said solemnly: "The Donghu people have suffered as many as 60,000 or 70,000 casualties, of which half of the people of our Great Wei have been plundered, and more than 20,000 people have been killed and wounded by our army, but most of them are forbidden troops. ”

Several army commanders and a group of military attachés are discussed, they are all military attaches in Beijing, and they have not seen the real battlefield of the war, but in the loss figures of both sides, a group of people feel quite terrified, a day of fierce fighting, the total number of dead and wounded on both sides is nearly 100,000, although it is all the dead and wounded figures, I don't know how many people died, but the total is more than 40,000 people, this number is quite terrifying, which is equivalent to 20 armies disappeared in one day.

The morale of Tashan is very low, the garrisons from the commander to the military attaché, and then to the ordinary soldiers are all from the Beijing camp or the period of the Lang Lang, Yu Lin Lang such a palace guard, they were born in the family of military attaches in Beijing, holding halberds to guard the palace gate, at most before experiencing some relatively small-scale battles, with the Hebei Forbidden Army to garrison, in the face of the wolves roaring Hu Qi, they are indeed from the bottom of their hearts feel afraid.

Xu Ziwei just expressed his dissatisfaction and fear, and the rest of the people were actually similar, and everyone had a kind of anxiety and fear.

"Hu cavalry, East Hu cavalry!"

Groups of forbidden troops ran out of the arrow towers and watchtowers in front of them, and they saw a large group of cavalry attacking from a distance, but they turned around and fled towards the side of Tower Hill Fort.

More than 100 forbidden troops ran on the open land, screaming and screaming as they ran, and the feeling of misery and fear immediately disturbed everyone on the fortress wall.

Everyone was running as hard as they could, and even the nearby forbidden soldiers chose to jump off the arrow tower or sentry tower, their sense of urgency made everyone panic, Xu Ziwei's body, goosebumps all over his body, and an unspeakable sense of fear immediately hit his heart.

"Close the fort gates, close the fort gates!" Xu Ziwei shouted hoarsely.

Not far away, a large number of palace tent cavalry appeared, and countless silver iron armor converged into a rolling torrent, and a large area of silver armor was reflective, even dazzling, unable to look directly.

Countless horses galloped with their hooves raised, thousands of horses galloped forward, and the earthquake shook the mountains, and those who did not see it could not understand the majesty of this terrible cavalry.

More than 30,000 palace tent cavalry, frontal assault, the forbidden army needs to be lined up and then fought, at least more than double the elite, but also auxiliary fortifications

can barely block it, if it is a hasty battle head-on, it is twice the strength of the palace tent cavalry, and the Northwest Forbidden Army may not be able to block such a sharp offensive.

The killer weapon of the Donghu people, the most powerful force, suddenly appeared in front of all the defenders of Tashan Fort!

"Why, how did they break through the main force and run to Tower Hill?" Xu Ziwei held the city wall with his hands, and his face was as white as paper. The pressure brought by the more than 30,000 palace tent cavalry was completely unbearable for him, and at this moment, this period gate left order from a gentleman had completely stepped down.

"I'm afraid that the defense line of the army has been breached."

"Or maybe worse, the army is defeated?"

Although the distance is less than 30 miles, hundreds of thousands of people in the two armies kept shouting and beating drums during the battle a few days ago.

Who knows, with this slam bang, all the main forces of the palace tent cavalry will be killed like this?

Almost without allowing the people in the fort to react more, the light cavalry in the palace tent had already caught up with the fleeing forbidden army, arrows, stabs, or slashes, and more than a hundred deserters were all reduced to corpses in a few breaths.

I can't resist, and I'm definitely not an opponent, and of course I can't run away.

The sentinels found that the cavalry was several miles away when they were sharp, and when they fled from the sentry tower, they were less than three miles from the fort wall, but at such a distance, the light cavalry was almost ten times the speed of human running, and when these sentries fled, the Donghu light cavalry that had been driven over them caught up one by one, and killed them all on the snow that had not disappeared.

This scene was unusually cruel and bloody, and those fleeing forbidden soldiers undoubtedly deserved it, they deserved to stay on their outposts, even if the resistance was insignificant, but it was their duty and duty.

As a soldier supported by the state, he should be shrouded in horse leather, and it is the duty and glory of the forbidden army to die in battle.

If you change Hebei, Hedong, or the Qin Feng Forbidden Army, there is no way to turn around and flee, even if it is the impact and despair brought by the arrival of tens of thousands of palace tent troops, these tenacious forbidden troops will choose to report the warning and then insist on resisting.

If no one dares to defend the fortress, and does not dare to counterattack and attack, then the establishment of a defense system will lose its original meaning. There are countless forts in the outer defense line of the Northwest Forbidden Army, and the place names in many places are the names of various forts or villages, even if they have survived hundreds of years later, you can feel the weight of history and the suffering of the ancestors from those names, as well as the efforts of the border soldiers, sweat, hard work, and more blood and life.

The forbidden army in front of him is mainly the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, the equipment and training are not bad, if they go through several actual battles or hard training, they may perform better, but Xu Ziwei has no intention of doing this after taking charge of the defense of Tashan Fort, and the performance of the soldiers in front of him is not surprising.

The light cavalry slaughtered the fleeing forbidden army, and a large number of palace tent cavalry arrived one after another, and they reined in the cavalry, and a large number of silver-armored cavalry began to gather together, and many light cavalry began to patrol the surrounding areas to clear the perimeter.

Everyone knew that once the siege was completed, a castle with thousands of people like Tower Hill Fort would be quite dangerous.

More than 30,000 palace tent cavalry, no need for too many siege equipment, abandon the war horse and attack on foot

City, build hundreds of ladders at most an hour, erect up in the fort walls on all sides to attack hard, more than 6,000 defenders should be able to withstand according to reason, if someone has been on the wall of the ancients to look down, there will be a sense of dazzling, the height of ten meters is not too high, but the same will kill people if they fall, the besieging party has to brave the garrison's various means of defending the city to forcibly climb the city, climb under the attack of arrow rain, stones, wood, boiling oil, and then jump up, and have to fight hand-to-hand with the defenders, the first to go to the city, almost a hundred deaths.

The so-called military merits, the first to ascend to the beheading, the origin is not without cause.

"Open the West Gate, open the West Fort Gate."

When the army was hesitant and afraid, Xu Ziwei hurriedly walked down the fortress wall and ordered the West Fort Gate to be opened.

"Xu Qimen." The commander of the army persuaded him: "If you escape from the battle, it will be difficult to escape the law of the country." ”

"!" Xu Ziwei whipped the commander of the army in the face and scolded: "The life of the captain is a life, and the life of Lao Tzu is not a life?" Hurry up, go quickly! ”

A group of Lang Wei wished that there was such a sound, and at that moment dozens of Lang Wei surrounded Xu Ziwei to the west gate of the fort, and ordered the forbidden army to open the fort gate, dozens of people led out of the war horses, got on the horses and left the fort, and galloped along the road to the west.

This time, the army in the fort was in turmoil, although there were forbidden army generals who did not dare to flee first because of the national law, but with Xu Ziwei taking the lead in escaping first, then the result was different.

If the chief officer leaves first, the subordinate will not be responsible for escaping again.

At the moment, several armies are in command, all the military attaches with war horses have ordered the guards to lead the horses, on the way there are forbidden army soldiers to grab horses, the two sides fought, the guards began to draw knives and slash, the forbidden army fought back, the gate of the fort suddenly swords and blood, the enemy army did not arrive, their own people fought first.

Finally, the generals rushed out of the door, many of the soldiers of the Beijing Forbidden Army were grown up and stationed in the Beijing Division, the flashy atmosphere of the Beijing Division was too strong, these soldiers were also vigilant and clever, the fortress gate was in chaos, all the forbidden troops ran to the west gate, the gate of the fortress was congested, and it took half an hour to dredge it.

And when the fort was empty, the military flags, weapons and armor were thrown all over the ground, and nearly a million yuan of money was also discarded, the light cavalry scattered around the periphery rushed to the west gate and began to chase and kill those forbidden army deserters, a team of heavy armor palace tent cavalry surrounded Wanyan Zongshu to the castle gate, the horse's hooves crossed the bluestone road, splashing sparks, in the sound of the horse's hooves, Wanyan Zongshu leisurely entered, and when he saw the money, food, materials and armor and weapons of the castle, this squirming face also shook his head and smiled.

"I've been fighting with the Wei army for more than ten years." Wanyan Zongshu laughed at himself and said: "It's the first time to take the military fort so easily, these Wei troops are their Beijing camp soldiers, I said it earlier, no matter how solid the armor is, what has not been fought is waste, sure enough." ”

There was a sigh of approval all around, it is true, in comparison, the Hedong Army is brutal, the Hebei Army is strong, and the Northwest Forbidden Army is strong and tenacious, and it is the most difficult opponent, the Beijing Forbidden Army is indeed a short board in the Great Wei Forbidden Army.

"This battle is already over...... Wanyan Zongshu sighed for a while, and finally said with a straight face: "Let's wait for the main force of the Wei army to be annihilated, and when Li Guorui, Yue Zhi, Li Youde and others are solved, the time for us to win the world is not far away." ”
