Chapter 511: Defeat of the Mongol Cavalry Outside the City
"Minghu, Minghu. Life is endless, and we move forward bravely. Hujiajun shouted.
The sound thundered.
The soldiers who had just come were affected by the voice of the Tiger Army, and they also shouted together, "Minghu, Minghu." Life is endless, and we move forward bravely. ”
"Yang Buqun, mountain seal, often meet spring, Qishun, follow me to fight." Wang Laohu stepped on his horse and continued: "Let's wait for the opportunity to gather at the East City Gate. With that, he rode towards the east gate. The others followed closely and headed towards the eastern gate.
After a wave of catapults attacked, the Mongol infantry launched an attack on Xiyang City. The dense Mongol infantry charged towards Xiyang City, shouting and killing.
General Shi said: "The soldiers are ready, and the Mongolian army is rushing over." ”
After a wave of stone-throwing attacks, the walls showed no signs of being knocked open, except for a few places where they had loosened.
The archers were already ready, hiding in one of the city walls, with their bows drawn, and some of the soldiers with spears and broadswords in their hands.
The Mongol infantry seemed to have arrived as promised, and had already rushed under the city wall, and some Mongolian soldiers set up a ladder on the side of the city wall, and there were Mongolian soldiers supporting the ladder below.
Some of the Mongols climbed the ladder, holding shields and scimitars.
General Shi gave an order, "Soldiers, the Mongols have attacked, we must defend Xiyang City to the death, and we can't let them climb the tower." Under the order of General Shi, the soldiers fired arrows from the top of the castle tower to the city, and this arrow went down and hit the Mongol soldiers.
There were Mongolian soldiers who took shields to block their heads, and the shields blocked their bodies, and it was difficult for the Ming soldiers to shoot the Mongols again.
Two Ming soldiers held on to the ladder of the Mongols and wanted to push the ladder out of the city, but the Mongol soldiers under the city wall held it down tightly, and the Ming soldiers roared, and the ladder loosened outward in the combined force of the two. The Mongol soldiers under the city walls raised their bows and rained arrows into the city.
"Brush, brush." Arrows flew from under the city, and the arrow feathers hit several Ming soldiers.
"Rush." Under the city walls, the Mongol soldiers shouted forward, and a dozen or so Mongol soldiers marched in unison, carrying a large piece of wood in their hands, which was the rhythm of the Mongols to storm the city gate.
The soldiers on the tower shot arrows at the group of Mongols, and the "snap" arrow hit one of the Mongols, and the Mongols next to them immediately continued to rush forward in place of the wounded Mongols.
Arrows continued to come from under the city, and men were shot on either side.
"General Wang, the Mongols have launched an attack on Xiyang City." Soldiers came to inform Wang Laohu.
"Okay, I know, tell General Shi to hold Xiyang City, and you must not let the Mongols go up to the city tower, please." Wang Laohu said.
The soldier stepped back.
"Soldiers, the Mongols have charged, in order to relieve the pressure on Xiyang City and eliminate the Mongol cavalry, today the Hujia Army and the Ming generals will work together to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and beat the Mongol army. Are you ready? ”
"General Wang (Gongzi), we are already ready." The men shouted.
Facing the shouts of the Hujia Army and the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Laohu's heart was sour, he looked at these energetic soldiers, without any trace of complaint, and followed him without regrets, and this rush out are all people who tie their lives to their trouser waist pockets, and they are all warriors.
There are many famous battles in history that win more with less, but Wang Laohu is not sure about this battle against the Mongol army, and he has the intention of winning in the face of such a Mongol army.
But this step must be taken, in order to reduce the pressure on Xiyang City, in order to eliminate as many Mongol troops as possible, this step must be taken.
"Open the gates!" Wang Laohu shouted.
The soldiers who had been waiting by the city gate opened the city gate, and the door slowly opened, through the city gate, Wang Laohu saw a glimpse of the vastness outside the city gate.
Wang Laohu pinched the horse's leg and said, "Soldiers, rush." ”
"Kill." Under the leadership of Wang Laohu, Wang Laohu led people to rush out of the east city gate. The sound of horses' hooves, the procession is mighty.
Wang Laohu came with people in the direction of the Mongol cavalry.
Lie Wusa looked at the large group of people who came out of the city, and his heart was full of confusion, at such a moment, Xiyang City actually chose to take the initiative to attack, which was somewhat unexpected to them.
"It's too much to do." Huo Lei said, "This group of Han people is too self-defeating, and a motley group of people actually rushed out to fight against our Mongolian cavalry. ”
"We can't afford to make the same mistake as last time, the Han people used a motley army to hold back the cavalry and hinder the advance of our cavalry, leaving Aza without reinforcements in the city." Levusa Dao.
"The leader thinks it's the Han people repeating their old tricks?" Horay Road.
"Now is the critical moment for the siege, Aza is directing the siege, and the cavalry must be ready at any time." Levusa Dao.
"These Han people who don't measure themselves always have to teach him a lesson." Horay Road.
"Huo Lei, these Han people will be handed over to you, don't fall in love with war." Legusa admonished.
"Don't worry, chief, these people are not under my nose yet." After Huo Lei finished speaking, he led tens of thousands of cavalry to meet Wang Laohu.
Among the people led by Wang Laohu, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry in the Hujia army, and there were only more than 3,000 cavalry in addition to General Shi's people, and the rest were all infantry.
Now looking at the cavalry, heavy cavalry and light cavalry brought out by Holei, Horay looked at Wang Laohu, who was less than three hundred meters away from him, with a disdainful smile on his face.
To fight quickly, Huo Lei thought that he wanted to quickly deal with the people in front of him, so he said to the Mongolian soldiers, "The light cavalry opened the way, and the heavy cavalry followed, and solved this group of Han people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead."
Under the command of Horay, the light cavalry rushed out first, and Horay also followed closely with the large army.
Wang Laohu saw the Mongols rushing towards him, and knew that this big battle was inevitable, so he said to Chang Yuchun: "They are coming, you lead people to rush to the front, and destroy as much as possible." "Chang Yuchun didn't ride a horse, the soldiers he led were all cavalry, this time, he let Chang Yuchun rush ahead, was he wrong?
Seeing Chang Yuchun rushing out with the infantry first, Huo Lei smiled from the bottom of his heart, this general who doesn't know how to command, let the infantry rush out first to deal with the cavalry? Who doesn't know that the cavalry and the infantry, isn't he killing himself?
Thinking so, he yelled at the horse, and the "driver" rushed forward even faster.
When Chang Yuchun, Qishun and the others stopped about sixty meters away from the Mongols, Wang Laohu shouted to the people behind him: "Soldiers. Kill me! ”
He took the lead in riding his horse and went out, followed closely by the mountain seals and Yang Buqun and others.
The Mongol soldiers were still riding their horses, and the horses were running fast, and the faster the horses, the more difficult it was for the infantry to deal with them, and the sharper the weapons thrown out by the cavalry.
Seeing that the Mongol soldiers were getting closer and closer to him.
Chang Yuchun said: "Brothers, show weapons." ”
The soldiers under his command cooperated in pairs, and there were singles, and the cooperating personnel pulled a long rope on each other's hands, and the single person took out a weapon longer than a gun from behind him, which looked like a gun but was longer than a gun.
"Rush." Chang Yuchun shouted, and before the cavalry had entered their ranks, they once again rushed towards the Mongols.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, dragged the rope in their hands, and headed towards the galloping Mongolian soldiers and horses. The horse rushed, the two infantry lowered the rope, the horse's hooves stepped on, tripped over the rope, the horse lost its front hooves, the horse's center of gravity was unstable, fell forward, and the Mongol soldiers on their bodies also fell off the horse's back.
The soldier with the spear in his hand did not use his weapon against the cavalry, but for the same purpose as the rope, against the horse, and in order to protect himself, he lengthened the length of the spear. As soon as the spear knife slashed at the horse's hooves, the horses were wounded and frightened, and they kicked down one after another, and the people turned on their backs as if they were horses.
Under the attack of ropes and spear knives, the Mongol cavalry fell to the ground one after another, because the horse injured its leg, and the horse fell to the ground and could not get up again. Along the way, there were wounded horses and fallen Mongols.
The horses of the Mongol soldiers rushed again, and several soldiers did not have time to dodge and were rushed by the horses, and some soldiers were cut down by the Mongol cavalry.
Wang Laohu rushed out of the ranks and killed the Mongol soldiers who rushed towards them. The purple beast sword was picked up in front of him, the sword pointed directly at the Mongolian who had just rushed over, the Mongolian cavalry scimitar flicked, the two weapons were fast, they were directly attached to each other's weapons, brush, the weapons attached to each other made a piercing sound of impact, when they were about to approach each other, Wang Laohu used the purple beast sword to force towards the direction of the Mongolian soldiers, this force, the purple beast sword and the scimitar were more closely together, and it was closer to the body of the Mongolian cavalry, his own scimitar slashed his body, His own scimitar slashed his body and solved himself by himself.
