Chapter 104: Shouzhou (4)
In the face of the stunned Southern Tang army, the prepared Wei army did not hesitate at all, the archers in the first row skillfully opened their bows and arrows, and the first round of arrow rain rushed straight into the face of the Southern Tang soldiers who broke through the door, and swarmed towards them.
Although the cavalry of the Southern Tang Army was wearing iron armor, the iron armor did not cover all parts, and the rain of arrows fired by the Wei army was relatively concentrated, so the probability of hitting increased, and many people fell down with arrows, either dead or wounded.
There was no pause, with another order from the Wei general.
"Ready!"
The archers in the first row walked from the gap between two to the third row, and the second and third rows became the first and second rows.
"Launch!" The general shouted.
Another round of arrow rain followed, enveloping a large area of Southern Tang cavalry near the walled gate, and many of them turned on their backs, very embarrassed.
"Get in!" Among the cavalry of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a man with a red cloak and a resolute face was about fifty years old, but he was full of energy and spirit, and his spirit was not inferior to that of a young man.
This person is Liu Renzhan of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although he was shocked why the Wei army looked like he had been prepared, but now the bow has to be sent on the string, and he can only use the momentum of thunder, a quick battle, and the fireworks that have just risen into the sky must be the Wei army to inform the friendly army, and time is running out!
Although he was anxious in his heart, Liu Renzhan did not show all this on his face, he couldn't panic, the main general panicked, and the army's heart would be shaken! Everything is still turning around!
"Drink!" Several Southern Tang knights went on a rampage and broke into range of the Wei army.
Whoosh!
The arrow is like a pillar of rain, there is no accident, after the Southern Tang knight was hit by the arrow, he fell from his horse and smashed heavily on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. And the war horse lost control because of the injury, and according to the inertia of the previous sprint, it couldn't stop, and it crashed into the Wei army's formation.
There was a small commotion in the Wei army's array.
But it still affected the speed of the archers' arrows, and at this time more Southern Tang cavalry had already rushed!
"Spearmen, thorns!" Seeing that the Southern Tang cavalry was already close at hand, their faces were clearly visible, and the formation made a decision in the face of danger, and ordered.
The spearmen behind the Wei shields stabbed out in unison, discharging the cavalry on horseback.
Just as the Wei army and the Tang army began to clash, thick smoke billowed from the west, and the flames appeared!
But I saw that some people in the Southern Tang army were setting fire to the trebuchets and other siege equipment that had been placed.
"Hah!" The soldiers drink together, piercing the clouds and cracking stones!
I saw that Wei soldiers were constantly coming from other directions, and there were many soldiers and horses, far superior to the Southern Tang army.
In order to ensure mobility and attack power, the Southern Tang Army attacked this time with all the cavalry, but most of the defenders in Shouzhou were infantry, and there were not many cavalry, so the total number of cavalry brought over by the Southern Tang Dynasty was only a thousand cavalry, followed by a large number of infantry.
And the camp where Chen Xu is located has an army of Hujie and more than 3,000 people.
"Kill!" Chen Xu personally led the troops, killed the generals from the south, and the troops swarmed up, at this time the men and horses on both sides were intertwined together, there was no queue formation at all, and they ran up desperately, and the two sides of the men and horses fought together, and the swords and soldiers waved in pieces, like a pot of boiling water, boiling fiercely!
I don't know how long it took, under the surging from all sides, outflanking and slamming left and right, the Southern Tang cavalry was defeated, and retreated in the direction of Shouzhou City to the east, wanting to withdraw to the city.
Chen Xu obviously wouldn't let them go easily.
He chased after him with men and horses.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away, surging and rushing!
At first sight, it was not the Southern Tang Army.
The armor and costumes are like He Meng's department of the Wei army, and they arrived in time!
The whole team of cavalry, long knives held high, banners and shouts fluttering in the wind, divided into two columns, acting in unison, like a person, accurate as the kind of indestructible copper sheep's head, rushed straight from the plain under Shouzhou City, looking straight ahead, from one end to the other, but always dense, close to each other, front and back, the black armored iron cavalry like that dark cloud to the Southern Tang Army, with the Huai water pouring thousands of miles of turbulence, rushing to the Southern Tang cavalry, finally clashing!
There were enemy troops in front and behind, and the situation was very unfavorable for the Southern Tang Army.
"I'm dying!" Liu Renzhan sighed secretly.
If the husband dies, he will die, and the horse leather shroud is very fast!
Although Liu Renzhan was in his fifties, he led the troops all the year round, practiced martial arts, became strong when he was old, and was not weaker than the young people.
The soldiers guarded the left and right.
I saw that a large group of people and horses of the Wei army seemed to have turned into a monster, and they only had one heart. Each detachment is winding and stretching, like a coelenterate link. The sand was flying, making people a little unable to open their eyes, and the soldiers on both sides still clutched the hilts of their swords and swung at the enemy soldiers in different armor. Countless iron helmets, roars, white blades, and the staggering of horses and the galloping of horses' hooves were fierce and orderly, revealing the breastplate like dragon scales on the upper floor.
"That man has many people to protect him, and he must be a great official!"
Someone in the Wei army shouted.
The people gradually gathered towards Liu Renzhan's position.
"Dashuai, there are more and more Wei troops, I will lead people to block first, Dashuai will take the opportunity to break through quickly!" One of his subordinates was busy.
"It's my fault that I put the soldiers in such a dangerous situation!" Liu Renzhan couldn't help but say gloomily, but he understood that he still had a mission to complete, he was the defender of Shouzhou, if he was killed or captured, it would be a huge blow to all the defenders.
"Take care!" Liu Renzhan said.
Wan Quan, the queen of the palace blocked the Wei army for himself, and he died for a lifetime! It can be said that he left his life to himself, Liu Renzhan was sad in his heart, but after all, he had been in charge of the army for decades and had seen too much life and death, so he didn't have too many emotions overflowing on the outside, but his expression was very dignified.
……
In a vast and boundless wilderness, raise your eyes and look at the corpses in all directions, a very tragic battle situation! The west wind is howling, and it brings inexplicable coolness to people in summer.
Suddenly, a gust of wind lifted the loess, and it hit the distance, and the dust was rolling, and the sound was huge.
The water of the moat, which was on the verge of drying, curved like a ribbon into the distance, and in the distance, countless grassy mountains intertwined, casting shadows on the land. The afterglow of the setting sun casts obliquely on the loess, and occasionally you can find broken and dead grass buried in the sand, which is the only decoration for polishing.
The mournful chirping of the birds seemed to pity the land, but none of them would fall to perch, and some only made a mournful cry from the tenacious eagle. The stray beasts on the ground rushed by, and the messy footprints on the river sand soon disappeared without a trace under the caress of the sand.
The west wind was blowing strongly, as if there was a wail, and the geese flew alone, wailing, as if they wanted to weep sadly, everything was so dark and desolate!
