Chapter 372: The Final Battle (4)
Zhiwen They rushed over overnight, and when they arrived near Zhuolu Mountain, it was already early in the morning, people were sleepy and tired, and they wanted to attack while it was dark, but they couldn't catch it, and they rested for two hours, and replenished water and food, so they decided to launch an attack at dawn, taking advantage of the fact that the displaced people besieging Zhuolu Mountain had not woken up.
Climb up a slope, you can see the pass of Zhuolu Mountain in the distance, the terrain here is empty, a horse is flat, and a large area of nearby trees has just been cut down, which is a good place to use cavalry to kill.
Zhiwen had no experience in commanding cavalry battles, but he was the commander of this battle, which was served by Xue Ping, and his brother had been in a large group of horse bandits, and he was also experienced.
Although he can't shoot arrows, and the scimitar is not used very well, this round of attacks can't help much, but Zhiwen still insists on participating in the attack with Liu Cai, I don't know what the current situation of Zhuolu Mountain is, I have to see it with my own eyes to be able to feel at ease, Xue Ping is a newcomer, and I don't know everyone in the mountains, if there is no him and Liu Cai, there will be some misunderstanding.
At the same time, Zhiwen also wanted to participate in person, and really feel the first large-scale cavalry battle since the crossing, in this battle they dispatched more than 600 horsemen, with more than 200 guards of the original Tanghis and more than 10 tribesmen of Haidongqing as the Chinese army, Xue Ping Taoyong led the team, and there were also 200 horsemen on the left and right wings, all of whom were Sunit herdsmen who followed Zhiwen, led by Oriya and Ulhan respectively.
They were followed by more than a thousand majestic wild horses, which could add to their might and confuse the enemy, all of whom at the moment had unloaded their wool and traveled lightly, and some of the herdsmen were driving behind them to prevent them from going in the wrong direction.
The horses also seemed to feel the tension before the battle, some snorted, some stumbled, but they didn't look uneasy, but excited.
Xue Ping didn't speak, slowly pulled out the scimitar, raised it with one hand, and then swung it down violently, clamping the horse's belly with both feet, and the first one rushed out, and then, the thunderous sound of the horse's hooves suddenly sounded, sweeping towards the place where the homeless people gathered.
The galloping hooves of the horses shook the earth, which soon alarmed the homeless.
Although it was far away, Zhiwen who was riding on the horse could still clearly see the panicked look on the faces of the wandering homeless, and his mouth opened and closed, waking up other people who were still sleeping, more and more homeless people flocked together, some were trembling with fear, some were standing still, and some turned around and began to run away.
The horse team entered the land of an arrow, the herdsmen have drawn their bows, stretched their bows and arrows, and shot three arrows in succession in the sky, nearly two thousand arrows have been quite spectacular, the black pressure flew into the air, and then rushed to the homeless.
The herdsmen did not change their armor, nor did they change their accustomed weapons - scimitars and riding bows, but this arrow was changed, two or three thousand arrows, which sounded like a lot, but it didn't look like much, and it was Zhiwen who took it out without too many scruples.
The herdsmen were given at least four feathered arrows of iron arrows each, and the first three rounds of covered firing were not to use their own usual bone arrows in order to achieve the maximum lethal effect.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! "The sound is endless.
Although the strength of the riding bow is not large, there are few people who can shoot accurately in high-speed running, but the covering arrow falls, and when encountering the homeless people who lack clothes and wear, this power is revealed, and the horse team has not arrived, and the homeless people under the arrow rain have fallen to the ground with arrows, and the crowd of people such as the forest fell down at once, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Seeing that the horse team was about to collide with the homeless, Xue Ping and Wu Lihan, who led the team, led the reins of the horses to the left, and Oliya was to the right.
The left side was wider, and Xue Ping's central army and Ulihan's left flank were both heading to the left.
Immediately behind the cavalry were more than a thousand menacing wild horses, which were uncontrolled, and crashed straight into the crowd of homeless people, and those who were lucky enough to avoid the arrows, even if they had turned around and ran away, but where could the two legs run over four legs, and were knocked to the ground by the wild horses that came with their tails, and then turned into meat under the hooves, and soon a straight passage was cleared out of the homeless group.
Xue Ping, Wu Lihan, and Oliya led the horsemen in a circle, and then they formed a team, followed behind the wild horses, and each drew their scimitars and killed the homeless.
This is a strategy that Xue Ping came up with to break more with less, but if you do this, the wild horse will inevitably be damaged, Xue Ping consulted Zhiwen about it, and Zhiwen thought about it again and again, but agreed.
Although the homeless people are weak, they can't stand the crowd, and the ants can bite the elephant to death, if they don't win by surprise, this battle is not easy to fight, and no matter how good the wild horses are, they can't take care of it for victory.
......
"Hurry, hurry!" In the morning light, Gao Yingxiang held a knife in his hand, and kept urging the homeless people to throw corpses and sandbags on the mound.
Early morning is one of the best times to attack, and Gao Yingxiang also knows that in order to successfully attack the pass, he specially got up early and started various arrangements, the first of which was to fill in the mound of earth to the head of the city.
Cheers rang out in all directions, and Gao Yigong ran to Gao Yingxiang's side, "Uncle, that's enough, you don't need to fill it in anymore." Gao Yingxiang was stopped from continuing to drive the displaced people to throw bags on the mound.
"Enough?" Gao Yingxiang looked up and saw the end of the mound, which was only a stone's throw away from the battlements of the city wall.
Gao Yigong laughed, with a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he was about to rush up.
Gao Yingxiang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed him, "Are you stupid, why are you in a hurry?" I'll come back later. With a wave of his hand, he signaled several of his generals to rush the pre-arranged homeless people to the city.
"Hahaha, it's done, boss, congratulations." Wang Jiayin laughed, also came to the city, stood beside Gao Yingxiang, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he was the second to enter the city, as long as Gao Yingxiang moved, it would soon be his turn.
"Rejoice and rejoice." Gao Yingxiang raised the corners of his mouth without smiling.
"Big Boss!" Gao Yigong simply made a salute with his fists.
Wang Jiayin thought about the cottage that was about to be captured, as well as the food inside, he was so excited that he couldn't keep his hands idle, and he also took a knife to drive away the homeless people with others, hoping that these people still had Gao Yingxiang, and they could fly to the city in an instant.
"What sound?" Gao Yigong, who was eager to try and was ready to rush to the head of the city at any time, suddenly quieted down, and looked back, his eyes full of doubts.
"What's wrong, Yigong?" Seeing that something was wrong with Gao Yigong, Wang Jiayin couldn't help asking.
"Big Chief, uncle, did you hear any sounds?" Gao Yigong asked.
"What's the sound?" Gao Yingxiang raised his hand to fight, "Little rabbit, it's almost time for you to go to the city!" ”
"Something is wrong." Gao Yigong has been a border soldier, and he has more experience on the battlefield, so he wanted to lie on the ground and listen carefully, but at this time, people are crowded, how can there be such a vacancy.
But soon there was no need to do so, and the ground trembled slightly, and anyone could feel it.
"Look!" Gao Yigong stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.
Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang looked in the direction pointed by Gao Yigong, where smoke and dust were raised high, and they all knew that this was the movement of the cavalry when they ran together.
