Chapter 602: Capture the city
Chapter 602: Capture the city
In the ancient county of Liaoxi, the defenders were very unfortunate, the moment the city 'gate' was broken coincided with the dinner time, and most of the soldiers who gathered only had rice bowls in their hands, and their attention was all on the food, and they were swept away by the sudden hundred horsemen in ignorance.
The enemy is fierce, like entering a no-man's land, and there is a bloody storm and rain everywhere he passes. The defenders suffered heavy casualties, lost their courage, and most fatally, the snakes were leaderless and did not know how to respond.
Some people say that the main general has abandoned the city and fled, while others say that the main general has died in battle, and the Tang army has entered the city. It wasn't until the horn of the attack was heard outside the city that the 'chaotic' defenders launched their first counterattack.
Annoyed and angry, Zhang Wenchong forgot that he was not good at attacking. There are subordinates who have the main general, not to mention that the subordinates in the city can't hear his specific orders, and the two consecutive internal and external attacks that are highly respected by the textbooks are anticlimactic.
In the defense, the 'sophisticated' equipment and well-trained training of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry have been fully reflected, and the ancient county town of Liaoxi has always been firmly in their hands.
As a result of the two attacks, Zhang Wenchong's 500 personal soldiers lost more than half. According to the calculation of the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, he came to the judgment that the Tang army occupying the head of the city was at least a thousand people! Otherwise, how can we explain the dense and accurate rain of arrows?
Should we go on the offensive or maintain the status quo and wait for reinforcements?
Zhang Wenchong did not dare to conceal it, and sent fast cavalry messages to three directions to ask for reinforcements, the first to report was his younger brother, Zhang Wenxiu, the governor of the Bohai Sea Army, not only because of the distance, but also because of the close distance, the important thing was that his brother was easy to speak; the second was to inform General Jin Yangping in the direction of Yingkou, and finally to the distant Bohai Governor's Office.
Let's wait for reinforcements. Choose a conservative 'sex' personality that conforms to Zhang Wenchong.
As soon as he made a decision, the sound of horse's hooves came from the west, sending Zhang Wenchong into the realm of surprise.
Reinforcements? It shouldn't be that fast.
Tang Jun? Is it possible? There are already a thousand in the city, and I don't know how they managed to sneak across the sea.
When the time comes, the answer is revealed, beyond the normal option.
The equipment that came to ride was obviously different from that of the Tang Army, the war knife was long and slightly curved, but it was extremely sharp, and it was not leather armor on the body, but a strange battle armor that he had never seen and could not say, calling it a war armor, because its sturdiness was not inferior to the Mingguang armor, and the scimitar cut on it could not bring damage to the opponent.
The sharpness of the opponent was far beyond expectations, Zhang Wenchong was taken aback, and it was too late to escape.
"Throw away the torches!"
Zhang Wenchong woke up, tried to destroy the light, and escaped by the night 'color'.
The order was correct, but it was too late, and even caused him to be killed. Among the mysterious enemy horsemen, a brave fast rider seemed to notice that he was the horn 'color' who gave the order, and rushed over decisively.
The brave soldiers stepped forward to block, the two horses staggered by, there was no accident, and the fearless soldiers fell from their horses.
He is a Confucian general, he likes to 'lip' and sword, disdain to dance with a knife and 'get' a gun, and in the face of the cold war knife that is chopped, he doesn't even have the consciousness of resisting.
The fast horse roared past, the war knife in his hand was dripping with blood, and he shouted happily: "The enemy chief is the head!" ”
The riders who followed him were nervous, clearly worried about his safety.
"General, rest, and leave some of the remaining scraps for the soldiers!"
Taking advantage of the time when he was about to ride his horse and turn around, several horses blocked his way back.
"Haha, Li Zhongxin, your kid is becoming more and more dishonest, did Madame tell you something again?" Riding laughed.
"Hehe, it's good that the general knows, it's not easy for his subordinates to do it."
"Don't talk nonsense, end the battle in a quarter of an hour."
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
The person who killed Zhang Wenchong was Li Huaitang, and he arrived at the right time with five hundred horsemen, at that time Zhang Wenchong's men suffered heavy casualties and low morale, and they had not even begun to prepare to run. Five hundred Ning Yuan iron horsemen descended the mountain like fierce tigers, and several swept back and forth, and there was no resistor on the battlefield.
The dust fell on the battlefield outside the city, and the city was in full swing.
Li Huaitang's annihilation battle caused a misunderstanding among the defenders in the city, and they thought that the main general had started to try for the third time, and they all mustered up the courage to rush to the north 'gate'. They finally realized that the north 'gate' was their only escape, and if they couldn't get it back, then there was only a dead end waiting for them.
Rabbits bite even when they're in a hurry! Moreover, they are not rabbits, but warriors in full armor. They had recovered from the panic, and all kinds of sharp weapons, including bows, arrows, shields, and armor, were moved out of the storehouse and into battle with them.
At the head of the city, under the 'gate' of the city, the white-hot 'hand-to-hand' battle is about to break out. Bai Xiaode and others came to fight lightly, and there were not many feather arrows that were slack, and the previous two battles had been exhausted.
Helplessly, the 'gate' of the city was blocked, and a large number of corpses of the Bohai Navy were lying outside the 'gate'. Li Huaitang stood under the city and was in a hurry.
"Stack the human wall, go to the city!"
A living person cannot suffocate to death by urine.
"General, Madam Zizi has an order, you can't charge into battle!" Li Zhongxin pulled Li Huaitang, who was in the middle of killing, and reported the killer in a hurry.
Li Huaitang said angrily: "What nonsense, stand up!" ”
Therefore, the county town is tall, that is the guide surface, facing the city wall in the direction of the Tang Dynasty, the city wall to the north is relatively short, and the three people can easily climb it.
Li Huaitang was the first to jump on the city, and flew to kick down the cowhide shield that was pressing towards Ningyuan's iron cavalry soldiers step by step. The strong formation composed of three cowhide shields 'exposed' flaws, Li Huaitang fell to the ground, swung his knife and slashed continuously, the heads of the two shield soldiers were cut open, and red and white things splashed all over the ground.
I have to admit that Zhang Wenchong has made a lot of attacks on the defense of the old county town, and the defenders' equipment is extremely 'fine', with armor and shield platoons, and there is no shortage of them, among which there are many iron shields, which has brought a lot of trouble to Bai Xiaode and others.
Li Huaitang's brave appearance greatly boosted the morale of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry soldiers, and at the same time 'provoked' the revenge of the defenders.
Two heavy iron shields covered the two spearmen who pushed towards him.
"Bang dang!"
The Han knife duel the iron shield, sparks splashed everywhere, and the sharp blade cut into the shield for three points, but it could not go deep and was firmly stuck.
The shield hand pulled and pulled, and the Han knife in Li Huaitang's hand was broken into two.
"Damn it!"
Li Huaitang was forced to retreat, and the threat of the two spears was quite large.
"The Admiral retreats, let me come!" Han Erlang appeared in time, holding a wolftooth 'stick' in his hand, and while speaking, he smashed the iron shield angrily, and a spear that stabbed first was broken, and then the iron shield made a loud noise, and the shield hand was overwhelmed, and he retreated again and again, and hit a piece of "bang".
It's really a thing down one thing!
Li Huaitang did not hesitate, jumped into the enemy formation with his bare hands, grabbed the remaining shield hand, and shook it with force, "Bang!" "After the loud bang, another one fell.
Still it works!
Li Huaitang woke up, immediately grabbed the corpse on the ground, and threw it again, "Bang!" "There was a row of shields that crashed to the ground.
Power is king!
Li Huaitang was arrogant, stepped forward, and picked up the abandoned iron shield, or that trick - smash!
Under the arrogant and unreasonable blows of Li Huaitang and Han Erlang, the defenders' self-assured shield array was forced to retreat.
Monsters, monsters with divine powers!
The soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom were terrified.
When Li Zhongxin provoked a demonstration with a spear against Zhang Wenchong's head, the morale of the Bohai Navy instantly fell to the bottom.
"Kill!"
Li Huaitang was resolute and took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation that retreated in a panic, and 'desire' put the remaining courage into the poor.
The general's order is like a mountain, and the soldiers respect it as the destiny of heaven, and they do not hesitate to chase the blood. The rout of the Bohai Navy was thus out of control...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
