Chapter 260: Breaking the Door (2)
Jiang Yun joined with the firearms battalion, which undoubtedly gave the entire battle situation at the south gate of the city the best shot of strength.
An Yi ordered all the soldiers of the firearms battalion to go to the city, and then replaced the men and horses of the Zhao Lingfeng guard in the city, and rushed out with the soldiers and horses of Shu and Shaanxi under the city.
The condescending firearms battalion brought into full play the power of the firearms in their hands, leaning on the wall battlements and almost without aiming at the bottom, all the firepower seemed to be roaring down almost with a pouring momentum, wantonly bombarding the Liao soldiers who were constantly pouring under the city.
The comfort in the city was fine, but I heard the rain-like sound of the three thousand firearms battalion, but Xiao Yan'er and Han Guangde outside the city could clearly see that the momentum that had compressed the Xia army towards the city little by little was instantly stagnant.
But
Although the power of the firearms battalion is fierce, the archery skills of the Liao people under the city are not bad, and the generalissimo Han Guangde directly ordered all the crossbowmen to aim at the fires on the city wall.
Despite the protection of the battlements, the accurate and deadly arrows were still the lives of the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion who began to reap without mercy.
Moreover, Han Guangde is indeed very old-fashioned, he knows that the power and range of Han firearms are far above the crossbow arrows, so basically the people sent out to "take care" of the firearms battalion are archers.
For the Liao people, the firearms battalions on the city wall are all immovable targets, as long as an arrow is shot out, it will definitely be able to shoot a Xia army if it is aimed accurately, and for the Xia army, it takes a lot of effort to aim at the archers who come and go like the wind, and there is a high probability of not hitting.
The firearms battalion is comfort's heart, watching the Liao people's arrows in the city shoot like flying locusts, the screams of the wind and the screams of the Xia army, An Yi naturally knows how big the casualties are, if it is called usual, he must be the first to stand up and shout for Jiang Yun to withdraw all his soldiers,
But now at this time, there is no other way, the firearms battalion can not only kill and injure the Liao people under the city, but also have the most important effect is to attract all the long-range arrow strikes of the Liao people.
This is undoubtedly a considerable relief for the Xia army who is desperately fighting outside the city, at least when they rush out again, they don't have to worry about guarding the steel knife in front of them, and they have to be careful of the cold arrow on their heads.
For a while, the situation of the Liao people advancing outside the city just now was also stalemate and confrontation by the Xia army, and there was a faint momentum of counterattack.
However, this does not mean that these Liao soldiers will gradually decline because of this, not to mention this tall and powerful bloodthirsty man, that is, the generalissimo and the queen mother who personally supervised the battle, and no one dared to retreat lightly, and the Xia army, everyone was not afraid of death to fight until the last moment.
Xiao Yan'er was the same as An Yi, sitting on a horse, just looking at the situation in front of her so quietly, to be honest, she didn't expect Xia Jun to be so tenacious, she didn't know if she and Lao Shuai had underestimated Xia Jun's desire to survive before, or because of that Jingyuan uncle in the city,
She could feel that Xia Jun was hanging on to the last breath of anger, but it was this last breath that made them kill from late night to dawn, and they couldn't extinguish this breath.
Xiao Yan'er looked at it, she didn't know if she was a little impatient, the dai eyebrows above her beautiful eyes frowned slightly, and she turned to Han Guangde beside her and said, "Old handsome, let's go on like this, and when we block Xia Jun back to the city, there will also be a lot of losses." ”
Han Guangde has been fighting for many years, of course he knows the truth in front of him, and nodded in response to Xiao Yan'er and replied: "Yes, Queen Mother, but there is no other way now, the two armies have fought so far, what they fight is endurance, as long as we withstand this last blow and kill them back to the city, then the Xia army will not have the morale to rush and kill again." ”
On his old face full of ravines, he didn't seem to be too worried, but after a pause, he comforted Xiao Yan'er and said: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, we still have a sharp knife in our hands, and when this sharp knife is killed, Zhun Bao will let Xia Jun's last breath go to him!" ”
Xiao Yan'er knew that Han Guangde was talking about the dragon horse that Guo Muer carried, "I just don't know where this kid went, we all came over, and he hasn't arrived yet." ”
"Presumably, General Guo didn't go out of the city, it should be for some reason to kill into the city, but it doesn't matter, now the main force of the Xia army in Lanzhou City should be at the south gate, and no one in the city can stop Long Xiang's footsteps, and when the time comes, he will suddenly come out from behind, which will catch the Xia army off guard."
Seeing that Han Guangde looked confident, Xiao Yan'er didn't say anything, and changed back to her cold pretty face, quietly watching the battle situation in front of her.
That's right
Han Guangde is right, if Guo Muer takes Long Xiang to kill from behind at this time, no matter how comfortable he transfers people, he will not be able to return to the sky.
It's not always that simple, though......
After the defense line left by Jiang Yun was completely torn apart by the Long Xiang cavalry, there was basically no resistance, and it was all a one-sided slaughter by the Liao.
Guo Muer also knew in his heart that their ultimate goal was still at the south gate, so after commanding the men and horses to completely disperse this defense line, he also ordered to gather the men and horses, put up a charging formation, and break through the south gate from the inside in one go!
However, just as he was carrying two Weng Jin hammers and turning over on his horse, he saw a young man with a neighing gray and white war horse under his crotch and a silver spear coming towards him not far away.
This Gao Ciyi originally planned to come to help the defense line of the firearms battalion, but along the way, he kept seeing the routs from the north to the south, and it could be seen from the firecrackers in their hands that this must be the men and horses set up in the defense line of the firearms battalion in the city.
At this point, Gao Ciyi had already expected it badly, but he never thought that when he arrived again, how could there be any shadow of the Xia army's defense line? He had already been smashed to the ground by Guo Muer's pair of Weng Jin hammers.
"Phew! Which way is small, report the name, grandpa hammer does not kill the nameless ghost! ”
Of course, Guo Muer is still the same set of rhetoric in the drama that I don't know where to look, the giant hammer pointed forward, and the urn shouted angrily.
Gao Ciyi didn't pay much attention to Guo Muer at first, and mainly focused on the well-armed dragon horses behind him, which seemed to be thousands of men and horses.
Although Gao Ciyi didn't see the situation at the south gate of the city with his own eyes, he could know the smell of blood in the air, I am afraid that An Yi did not fight well over there, if he put these thousands of elite cavalry over now, he would probably face collapse for the tense situation in the south of the city.
So when he thought of this, Gao Ciyi planned to drag this group of elite cavalry as much as possible, so he followed Guo Muer's troupe out in style, pointed his gun forward, and also shouted:
"Phew! Rat! Ben Shuai will cut the grass like cutting grass, straddle the horse to the west and east, two thousand pounds of strength, a silver gun in his hand is invincible, how can Rong Er and others be presumptuous! ”
Gao Ciyi has listened to a lot more dramas than Guo Muer since he was a child, Guo Muer will say that when he turns upside down, he will say that to you, but no one on the battlefield will answer him, this is not easy to meet a stubble, he really doesn't know how to pick it up, and he just cares about the sledgehammer and points forward with an embarrassed face,
"You don't talk nonsense, Hugh wants to stand in the way of grandpa's horse!"
Gao Ciyi's plan was to provoke this young general to fight with him, and it was a big deal to let him make a few moves, as long as the elite cavalry behind him did not move, it would be a success, so he deliberately provoked him: "Rats! Do you dare to fight me for 300 rounds? ”
This is the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair!
When Guo Muer heard this, he thought that this was the first Xia general he met who took the initiative to challenge him, and he was able to wave his hand and say that I want to support the South Gate and not entangle with you?
It's impossible to even think about it!
He will never be afraid, and the excited two Weng Jin hammers smacked twice on his head, and shouted: "Good boy, I can be regarded as waiting for you!" ”
Then Guo Muer unexpectedly swung his sledgehammer behind him, "None of you are allowed to move!" ”
With that, he urged the war horse and rushed over.
Gao Ciyi was still wondering what he was saying, wait for me? What are you waiting for me?
But he didn't have time to think about it, he danced the silver spear in his hand, and the horse was killed with the oncoming Guo Muer.
"Boom!"
............................
In winter, the northwest has always had shorter days and longer nights than the south, but even if the night is long, it can no longer hold the dazzling light of the morning light.
The comfort in the city has begun to clearly see the morning sun that is about to rise in the distance, and the dawn time he agreed with Jin Mingyin is about to come, and there is really not much time left for Xia Jun.
At this time, the south gate, the air has been filled with a strong smell of blood, shouts and screams are intertwined, blood and sword brilliance are reflected, whether it is on the ground or on the bluestone bricks of the city wall, it has been dyed with a large area of red, the battle flag of hunting and hunting, has long been like a defeat in the wind, crooked on the wall, waiting for the last wisp to break it off,
The two armies of Xia Liao, who had been fighting for nearly a night, had already reached the end of the crossbow, and the cold corpse was like a pale and terrifying carpet, spread on the yellow earth outside the city.
The advantages brought to the entire Xia army by the firearms battalion have been gradually expanded with the roar of the firearms and the hard work of the foot soldiers under the city, and the front line of the duel between the two armies has also been pushed out of the city by the Xia army from the city gate.
In this way, it seems that the more you fight, the easier it will be for Xia Jun to fight.
Because the space outside the city is of course much larger than that inside the small Lanzhou City, it is more conducive to the development of a large army like the Xia Army.
For the Liao people, it is like a dam intercepted on a river, once it is gradually broken away by the Xia army, every time it retreats a little, there is almost no way to push it back.
Under the elimination of one and the other, it should be the victory of the Xia army in sight.
However, An Yi, who had been calmly observing the situation, did not have any joy in his heart, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper as he watched Xia Jun slowly advancing outward, although he knew that Jiang Shang, Liao Ying, Jiang Yun, including Zhao Lingfeng, all of them were already doing their best to fight, but the speed of advancement in exchange did not completely relieve An Yi's worries,
The main thing is that this is the first, the Liao people will definitely have follow-up soldiers and horses to add up, but the Xia army has no backup, and when it comes to dawn, the Liao people who continue to add fuel tactics will definitely exhaust the last trace of strength of the Xia army.
The second is the firearms battalion in this city, the huge casualties are also accompanied by huge casualties, and even now the firearms battalion is a one-time army for comfort, if you don't take advantage of the firearms battalion to kill it in one go, then when the firearms battalion is exhausted, it should be the Liao people's arrow rain to dominate the battlefield.
But even if he has such worries in his heart, An Yi is powerless for the current war situation, looking at the soldiers who are fighting to the death, it can only be said that he prays that the support of the Liao people will not come so quickly.
And the Liao army outside the city is not much better, Xiao Yan'er stared at the beautiful face of the Shura field at the south gate of the city is already cold and can no longer be cold, for her, this battle that should have been exchanged for Lanzhou City and the main force of the Xia army in the city at a very small price has far exceeded the casualties she can bear until now.
It is not so much that she is waiting for Guo Muer's dragon cavalry and waiting for the reinforcements transferred from the battalion by the old marshal, it is better to say that she is reluctant to let go of the chicken ribs of the people and horses in Shu and Shaanxi in the city.
From the beginning of the war, Xiao Yan'er had already calculated the strength in her hand and the strength she needed for the next step, but as soon as this battle began, the combat power she could invest in the future plan was simply shrunk and then shrunk.
But Xiao Yan'er knew in her heart that every time she reduced the budget in her mind, there would be more risks in the implementation of the plan, and with every extra risk, the more likely she would be that the entire chessboard would be deadlocked in the future.
At this moment, the slender hand holding the reins of the horse in her hand was almost about to press the rough reins into the flesh of the palm, and the beautiful pupils were full of the fire under the city of Lanzhou, and the Liao Dynasty generals who were fighting one by one,
"Tell the rear army Meng'an, and continue to press the last sign of men and horses into it! The Xia army must not be allowed to break through the defense line! ”
"Yes, Generalissimo!"
As soon as Han Guangde's order beside her came out and reached Xiao Yan'er's ears, she seemed to have made a decision in her heart.
After hesitating for a long time, the slender hand holding the reins in his hand quietly loosened......
