Chapter 843: The Battle of the Giant Deer
Liu Wuzhou personally came to Julu City, hoping to block the pace of Dahua's attack with 100,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise, if you look at Xiangguo County, it will be Xindu County.
This is the southern gateway of Changle City, which cannot be lost, and it is also the first time that Liu Wuzhou has confronted Dahua head-on.
In order to prevent Julu City from being surrounded everywhere, Liu Wuzhou divided part of his troops and stayed in the east of the city, stationed camps, and set up defenses to block the siege of the Dahua army, rescue each other, and respond to each other.
This idea is good, but for the Dahua army with strong crossbows and black powder, the armor is strong and the morale is high, whether it is Hou Junji's vanguard army or the recruits under the command of Xu Shiji, they are all murderous.
At this time, Xu Shiji had already issued a military order, and Pei Xingyan first led 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack Julu City, entangled the main force in the city, and gave Hou Junji's vanguard elite enough time to deal with the camp outside the city.
This is Tian Ji's strategy of using troops, attacking the city with a mediocre new army, and it won't be able to take it for a while anyway, it just causes a certain crisis to defend the city.
On the other side, Hou Junji mobilized elite cavalry and skilled infantry armor, crossbow archers, and artillery men to start an attack.
"Kill—"
The cavalry suddenly rushed out, the golden iron horse, the long lance surged, the spear head was like a forest, the cold light was dazzling, and the sound of shouting and killing and horse hooves made people smell and change color.
Cao Zhan sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet the block, and fought head-on.
In an instant, the sound of drums, horns, shouts, and screams intersected to deafen, and the arrows and feathers were overwhelmingly shot over the middle of the two armies, and the generals at the forefront of the front line rode into battle, rushed to the soldiers in the front row, raised their spears and halberds, and began to fight hand-to-hand, but as soon as the two soldiers and horses clashed, they immediately flowed into a river of blood.
The two armies are-for-tat, soldier to soldier, general to general, the snatching is as red as fire, and the blade of the sword is as white as a shackle.
After a moment of fighting, Luo Zhaoyun stood on a high post several miles away, looking at the war scene, and seemed to have itchy hands.
"Pick out 20,000 cavalry and fight with me!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Xue Wancheng, Shi Danai, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Liu Wujian, and Zhou Zhongyin all volunteered to follow.
Luo Zhaoyun finally left Shi Danai, Liu Wujian, and Zhou Zhongyin to watch the army in case of a sneak attack. Although Liu Wuzhou definitely couldn't muster his troops to come and attack the 80,000 army, he still had to be on guard.
Then Luo Zhaoyun personally got on the horse, holding a silver spear, followed by Gu Qingshuang, and then Xue Wancheng, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Luo Shixin, the four tiger generals, followed, with 20,000 Yanjia light cavalry and forbidden cavalry, rushed over from the side of the battlefield.
Luo Zhaoyun shot, the spear was like a dragon, the edge was everywhere, indestructible, unbreakable, and the two Hebei army captains and partial generals who fought with him could not fight Sanhe, and immediately pierced through the clothes and armor, blood sprayed like an injection, and he fell off the horse.
Qingshuang did not show weakness, her swordsmanship was sharp, her moves were as fast as lightning, and she directly cut off a partial general in two rounds, showing a woman's demeanor.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Luo Shixin are all dragons and tigers, following His Majesty's side, like a sharp blade straight into the heart of the Hebei army.
As far as the eye could see, blood splattered, blades shone, corpses and bones were scattered, and tens of thousands of iron hooves trampled on the ground, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains.
The Hebei army under the city was frightened by the power of Dahua's elite, frightened, and saw many partial generals killed in battle, and then had no will to fight, I don't know which one of them flew away first, the army array was in chaos, abandoned the armor and fled back to the camp, and wanted to use the camp obstacles as a defense to prevent the Dahua army from breaking the camp.
But Dahua had a slinging artillery shell, which was thrown at the camp, and suddenly the explosion continued, and the camp exploded with a bang.
The crossbow also began to envelop the camp in a pour, like a downpour, and continued to shoot past.
The soldiers and horses of the Hebei army in the camp suffered heavy casualties, and they couldn't stop it at all, so they retreated one after another, crying and shouting.
The smoke of gunpowder was billowing out, the scene was tragic, many Hebei soldiers were injured, missing arms and legs, lying in a pool of blood, and some of them were on fire, and the whole person was like a fireball, wailing and running around.
The camp was in a mess, and it was already difficult to hold on, especially the soldiers outside the city were mostly rabble, and the strong men captured from various counties had never seen the power of this black powder, and they were completely frightened.
In the end, Cao Zhan ordered to abandon the camp, went around to the north gate of Julu City, and retreated to the city, but half of the men and horses had already been lost.
Next, it's a siege battle, surrounded on all sides, and storming the giant deer!
Hou Junji's vanguard army also joined, and the 100,000 army, using the sophisticated weapons and equipment of crossbow machines and black powder, suppressed the city, and from a distance, Julu City was like a flat boat in the flood, and it was in danger of capsizing at any time.
"King Handong, the Great Chinese Army is too fierce, and the city is in danger!" An adjutant general came over to give an announcement.
Liu Wuzhou and Gao Yaxian glanced at each other, and there was nothing they could do, in front of Yang Mou, the conspiracy could not be changed. With such military strength and weapons, the Hebei army has no power to fight back; Now it is still defending to the death, using the battlements of the city wall to dodge, waiting for the besieging soldiers to climb up, and then counterattack, but with more and more Dahua soldiers at the head of the city, Julu City is in danger of being breached at any time.
Moreover, the Chinese army began to use black powder to blow up the city gates and city walls, and as long as there was a gap, the tiger and wolf divisions outside the city would rush in.
"Hold on for three days, if you can't resist, break through immediately!" Liu Wuzhou has just become the king of the princes, but he doesn't want to die here, Julu City is dispensable, the main thing is how many days can he hold on here, and how much Dahua's main force can be consumed?
Gao Yaxian proposed: "Someone should be sent to attack Dahua Grain and Grass, maybe it can relieve the pressure." ”
Adjutant General Zhao Ling clenched his fists and shook his head: "According to the previous scout report, in addition to the 100,000 army outside the city, in a few miles, there are more elite Dahua divisions, 100,000 people, do not move, we go out of the city to attack, isn't this hitting the stone with an egg?" ”
Liu Wuzhou stood behind the iron window in the city tower, and faintly saw a commander wearing silver armor and holding a silver gun outside the city, majestic and majestic, like a god, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was surprised: "Is that Luo Cheng?" ”
After Gao Yaxian leaned up to look at it, his face turned pale and said: "It's him, Emperor Dahua has personally conquered here, and our situation is even worse." ”
"It seems that this time Luo Cheng plans to destroy Hebei, he will go to conquer Jinyang, and the 100,000 elites who will not move will probably be left for Li Tang to use again!" Liu Wuzhou smiled bitterly, it turned out that the elite of Dahua had not yet attacked, and he felt that they were not level enough, and when he had to deal with Li Tang of Jinyang, he would really invest in it.
