Chapter 117: Recapture of Yanchuankou (2)

The footmen of the Great Song Dynasty are invincible in the world!

It's just that in this world where cavalry is important, even if the foot soldier defeats the enemy, he can only watch the enemy flee on horseback, and he can't get a happy battle of annihilation, so that the brilliance of the foot soldier always seems so weak. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In this world, the only thing that can fight with the heavy cavalry is the infantry armored heavy infantry, a set of more than 60 pounds of heavy armor, so that they also have the strength to fight when facing the heavy cavalry.

In a short period of time, the infantry armor formed a thin defense line in front of the trebuchet, and they held long-handled battle axes and war knives, pulled down their armor and waited for the arrival of the Qingtang light cavalry.

At this time, the battlefield had become a pot of porridge, and the Song army and Qingtang people were fighting together everywhere.

The power of the Eight Bull Crossbow is too great, piercing a person's body is like piercing a blank piece of paper, the battlefield is full of people, there is no way to distinguish between friend and foe, so that the Eight Bull Crossbow has no way to lower its gaze and continue to annihilate the Qingtang people on the battlefield.

The trebuchets continued to bombard the city, and if they could take the opportunity to destroy the trebuchets of the Qingtang people, it would be the biggest result.

The stone is mixed with a fierce fire oil can, and the fire oil immediately smokes everywhere when it goes to the city, but the effect is not good, the black smoke just rises, and it quickly disappears on the city wall.

Seeing that the tide composed of the light cavalry of the Qingtang people was all smashed on the hard reef of the Buren Armor, the iron egg had a strong breath.

The rooster crowed like the horn of the army, so that the Qingtang people in the middle of the battlefield slowly retreated, and the infantry did not chase, a group of lightly armed infantry hurriedly came to the back of the infantry armor, and placed a light pole on their backs.

The Song infantry who had advanced to the city were also slowly retreating, this battle was not long, but the sacrifice was unacceptable.

They could no longer afford to take on the task of besieging the city.

Fortunately, when they retreated, only a few sparse stones flew overhead, which showed that in the trebuchet duel just now, the trebuchets of the Qingtang people suffered heavy losses.

Of course, this is just Tie Dan's wishful thinking, and only the Qingtang people themselves know how much the trebuchet has been damaged.

Yang Huaiyu returned to the military formation covered in blood, looked at the trebuchet that was being repaired and repaired by the commander, and said to Huo Xian: "Brother Chongguang, gunpowder has not been used yet?" ”

Huo Xian frowned and said, "No, the Qingtang people have not yet poured out of the nest, and it is not the best time to use gunpowder at this time." ”

"Is there any news from the big camp?"

Huo Xian said worriedly: "Wu Zang Pang also launched a tentative attack two hours ago, and was blocked by Lao Linggong in Jiming Mountain, according to the news from Lao Linggong, the most elite Blackwater Army Division in the hands of Wu Zang Pang did not dispatch, only the department of Zhang Zhe of the Capture Army came.

Fu Zun was worried that he had other plans for not hiding the false Pang, and had already sent Tian Chou, the deputy envoy of Huanqing Road, and Dong Yuan, the left envoy of the Xijing Treasury, to closely monitor Nailongchuan, and beware of the back road from here to outflank our back.

General Yang, time is running out, within three days, we must break through the Yanchuan Pass and threaten Yigong, Miaochuan, Longzhi, Zongge, and Jishi Army, only in this way can we make the blind felt exhausted and have no room for respite. “

Yang Huaiyu nodded and said: "Brother Chongguang is right, after eating the war meal, I will personally lead the troops to attack once, if I can lure the big ghost out of the best." ”

Huo Xian glanced at Tie Dan and his party who were busy, lowered his voice and said, "The Mansion has an order, if the gunpowder can really achieve its purpose, you might as well leave the Hami people." ”

Yang Huaiyu smiled bitterly: "It's useless. ”

"Why?"

"Those who come can make gunpowder, but not those who can make gunpowder, once all the five thousand catties of gunpowder are used up, these people will be of no use at all."

"I heard that the general has a good relationship with Hami Tiexinyuan......

Yang Huaiyu said with a smile: "Just because of the friendship, we know who he is, this person does things well, and we can't know what he doesn't want us to know."

In addition, these people who came to Yanchuankou were all domestic slaves of the eldest princess, and even if Fuzun offended the eldest princess, there would be no good results. ”

"Ouyang Xiu, Wang Dayong and others are waste, one is the minister of the Hami country, and the other is the privy envoy of the Hami country, and they don't even know about such a big thing as gunpowder......"

Yang Huaiyu said with a smile: "After we break through the Yanchuan Pass, Brother Sogo might as well go to Hami and talk to King Hami about gunpowder." ”

Huo Xian nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's time to go to the Western Regions and see how the scholar of Tie Xinyuan established a country in the land of tigers and wolves in the Western Regions."

This battle consumes countless national funds, and the focus is not on how we build the river, but how to defend the river, so that the river will eventually be used by us.

I hope to find something to learn from Hami. ”

The flames of the battlefield have not been extinguished, the heavy marching drum sounded again, this time it was the cavalry that was the first to strike, Yang Huaiyu took the lead in rushing out, behind him, every four knights carried a ladder made of bamboo, and once again quickly approached the city wall with the rumbling war drums.

Almost at the same time, the trebuchet of the Song army once again exerted its might, this time it was all fire oil cans, iron eggs in the shortest time, modified the fire oil cans, put a small gunpowder bottle in each fire oil tank, when the fire oil tank flew to the city, not waiting to land, the gunpowder bottle exploded the oil tank, ignited the fierce fire oil, the fire rain fell from the sky, densely covered the city, for a while, the city suddenly fell into a sea of fire.

Countless fire men fell from the city, and even the feathered arrows against the cavalry became sparse at this moment.

Yang Huaiyu was overjoyed and yelled - "Jump! ”

Without waiting for the war horse to carry him to the city, he jumped off the back of the galloping war horse, and with the help of the momentum of the war horse, he was the first to rush to the bottom of the city, grabbed the crossbow guns densely covered on the city wall and began to climb the city.

After transporting the ladder to the city, they also jumped off their horses, biting the blade in their mouths, and began to climb the city like an ape.

Behind them, a large group of Song army jumpers took advantage of the enemy's suppressed emptiness and rushed to the city of Yanchuan.

It didn't take much effort, and the tall city walls were crawling with Song troops, and at the same time, the tall ladders were also erected one after another, and the soldiers who climbed were as dense as ants.

Huo Xian took off his armor, revealing a white body with fine skin and tender flesh, and beat the war drum desperately to cheer for Yang Huaiyu.

Yang Huaiyu, who climbed the city wall, didn't have time to stand firmly, a heavy mountain chopping knife whistled and chopped down, he dodged to dodge, his feet were empty, and he fell off the city wall again, holding a crossbow gun at the head of the city with one hand, and killing the head of the city again after a big loop.

The Qingtang people at the head of the city screamed and killed him, and groups of Qingtang people threw lime and rolling wood and stones at the city in despair.

The war knife slashed at the neck of a Qingtang warrior, this warrior not only did not retreat, but held Yang Huaiyu's long knife with both hands, even if the blood in his neck soared up to more than two feet high, he still did not let go.

Yang Huaiyu flew up and kicked the warrior off the city, and with a rub of his feet, an iron spear flew up in the air, and he held it tightly in his palm.

A long iron spear was as light as an embroidery needle in his hand, and he danced like a blooming pear blossom, firmly occupying a piece of territory within a radius of ten steps at the head of the city.

Countless Song troops took the opportunity to surge up from this gap, and as the number gradually increased, a battle formation with Yang Huaiyu as the arrow slowly formed, and this battle formation broke through left and right on the broad city head, clearing a larger territory for the Song army climbing the city.

A heavy machete fell on the barrel of Yang Huaiyu's spear, making him like a poisonous dragon The spear stopped for a moment, Yang Huaiyu only felt that the iron spear was constantly trembling in his hand and almost wanted to fly away, and he heard the sound of the long knife breaking through the wind and went straight to his head and neck, stood firm, and held the iron spear with both hands to block it again.

Hearing a loud bang, Yang Huaiyu staggered a few steps to the left by the sharp impact of the knife.

When I looked up, I found a giant man like a mountain, barely retracting his long knife, ready to pounce again.

"Big ghost!"

"Yang Huaiyu!"

The two of them shouted together, and they all shook off their companions and pounced viciously.

Tiedan's trebuchet stopped firing fierce fire oil again, and he pointed to the Song army under the city and asked the military leaders beside him, "If we pile up gunpowder at the city gate now, can we blow up this city gate?" “

The head of the Hami army nodded and said: "Or if you want to call it like this, it is naturally the most powerful, this gate, with a five-hundred-pound explosive, should be able to completely blow it up."

It was General Yang and they were still fighting fiercely at the head of the city, and if the city wall was blown down, General Yang and they would be buried alive with the enemy. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you can blow up the city gate, the old man will make you a great achievement!"

Tie Dan turned around and found Huo Xian, who was barebacked, covered in dust, panting behind him.

"Go!"

Tie Dan found that Huo Xian's eyes had turned red, and he also pulled out a long knife and put it on his neck.

Tie Dan glanced at Yang Huaiyu, who was fighting fiercely at the head of the city, and Xue Tie Xinyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "No problem, you can like it." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the head of the army.

The military leader glanced at Huo Xian, picked up two huge explosive bags, and as soon as he greeted, the warriors from Hami picked up the gunpowder and rushed towards the city wall.

Tie Dan carefully removed the long knife around his neck and said with a smile: "Actually, at this time, if there is an engineering hammer that can break open the city gate, it is a pity to use gunpowder, and it will endanger General Yang." ”

Huo Xian said expressionlessly: "The general is just fighting to the death." ”

Tie Dan playfully looked at Huo Xian, who was covered in dust, and said, "What should Wenchen do?" ”

Huo Xian laughed and said, "If I could break the city with my life, I would have sent the old man up with a trebuchet." (To be continued.) )
