Chapter 151: Earning the City
Two thousand cavalry were ready, and they lined up from the city gate to the street a mile away, although many horses did not have saddles and stirrups, but this was nothing to the Turgish soldiers, without saddles and stirrups, they could still fight on horseback, but they could not let go of all their strength to fight on horseback.
Wali galloped to the front of the line with a dozen slave cavalry, raised his hands and shouted, "Go! ”
Two thousand cavalry rushed out, and soon all of them were out of the city, and the west gate was closed again under the force of the noose.
Ten miles outside the city of General Pei.
It is the junction of the mouth of the Broken Leaf River and the Broken Leaf Water (present-day Chu River), and the terrain here is flat and wide, with the Broken Leaf Water to the north and a two-mile-long forest to the south.
At this time, there was an ambush in the dark forest, which was Zhao Ziliang's South Road Vanguard Army. All 600 infantry squatted in the east, 2,200 Tang cavalry and 500 Tushi cavalry, a total of 2,700 cavalry, all of them hid in the west of the woods.
Zhao Ziliang was wondering why the turks and horses in General Pei City didn't chase after him, did they find a flaw? Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and as far as he could see, he rode a sentry and galloped over.
"General Qiyu, the turquoise cavalry soldiers in General Pei's city are immediately in charge, and two thousand men and horses are quickly chasing and killing!"
"Good!" Zhao Ziliang was extremely excited when he heard the news, and immediately said to Li Siye beside him: "After Wali's men and horses chase over, don't panic first, wait for all his men and horses to walk out of the mouth of the river and enter the wide area, this general will lead the cavalry to attack first, and then you will lead the infantry to kill, line up in a neat and dense defensive formation and block the Sichuan Pass, so that no one of the enemy soldiers can escape back to General Pei City, as long as no one escapes back to General Pei City, General Ben's plan will be successful, and killing the enemy is second." Kill as much as you can, of course, the more you kill, the better, I'd rather let them escape to Broken Leaf City than let them escape back to General Pei City, do you understand? ”
"No!"
"Okay, you all go and prepare, and when I give an order, you will all line up in a dense formation for me and rush out to kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"
"No!" The schools were scattered to prepare.
It was only ten miles, and Vali quickly chased out of the Broken Leaf Kawaguchi with two thousand cavalry, each of which was carrying a torch. Seeing that all of them had entered the flat grass next to the broken leaf water, Zhao Ziliang, who was at the edge of the woods, could see clearly and knew that the time had come to attack, so he immediately took out the treasure eagle bow and arrow from the bow sac, and shouted: "The enemy has been tricked, the soldiers will go out with a certain kill, kill-"
"Kill!" All the generals and colonels behind him agreed in unison, took out their bows and arrows, and followed Zhao Ziliang to gallop out on horseback.
But it was said that Vali led his army to chase him to the edge of the Broken Leaf Water. Ten miles ahead is Broken Leaf City, but he has not seen Tang Jun's figure yet, which makes him very puzzled, and he involuntarily stops.
"Impossible. I'm about to arrive at Broken Leaf City, why haven't I found the figure of the Tang army yet, I haven't even seen the light of the torches, and I'm marching in the night. There's no way they don't light torches! ”
The young shaman who was following Vali felt the same way, and at the same time felt that something was wrong, shouldn't he have been deceived?
Just when the two of them were very confused. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from the woods on the left, followed by the vibration and scene of ten thousand horses running, and the two turned their heads to look, and their faces instantly turned pale.
In the dark night, the Tang army rushed over like a mountain and a sea, just entered the land of an arrow, the Tang cavalry released arrows one after another, the overwhelming arrows were more dense than the raindrops, and the cavalry of the Turks let out a scream after being hit by the arrow, and the screams instantly enveloped the entire riverside.
The sound of the bowstring popping out kept coming, the arrows kept falling, in just a dozen seconds, the two thousand cavalry of the Turgist cavalry suffered heavy casualties and became a mess, the front of the Turgish cavalry began to ride their horses to the front in panic, trying to escape the range of the Tang cavalry's bow and arrow, the rear of the Turgish cavalry wanted to advance and could not enter, at this time and the Tang army lost their courage to fight, can only turn around and run.
At this moment, another group of men and horses came out of the woods, and this Tang army lined up in a neat formation, each holding a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and rushed out of the forest with neat steps, and soon blocked the mouth of the river.
Looking at the hundreds of turquoise cavalry rushing towards the mouth of the river, Li Siye, who was standing at the front of the phalanx, held a Mo knife and shouted: "The Mo knife team stepped forward, the spear and shield soldiers stepped back, steady, all for Lao Tzu to stabilize, the spear and shield soldiers defended in place, no one was allowed to retreat, and those who took a step back would be killed!" ”
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "No! ”
Hundreds of Turkish cavalry who tried to escape to General Pei's city rushed over, closer, closer, and when it was only less than fifty meters, Li Siye suddenly shouted: "The Mo Dao team obeys the order, raises their knives, and marches forward in unison-"
"Roar, roar, roar・・・・・・" The Mo knife players who were lined up in four rows with fifty people in each row took neat steps while holding Mo knives and roared in unison.
"Knock, knock, knock・・・・・・" The neat steps of the Mo Dao team rumbled on the ground, and although there were only two hundred people, it caused an extremely huge momentum.
In the dark night, countless torches illuminated the Mo knives of the Mo Dao team, and the Mo knives that were seven feet long were held by Mo Dao hands on their chests and above their heads, like a forest of knives slowly advancing.
Thirty meters・・・・・・
Twenty meters ・・・・・・
10 meters ・・・・・・
Li Siye, who was walking in front with a Mo knife in both hands, stared at a pair of eyes the size of copper bells, looked at the Turquoise cavalry who had rushed to the front, and shouted: "Cut-"
"Brush—"
Hearing the order, the Mo swordsmen rotated their waists one after another, and the sword forest collectively slashed down diagonally, a cold light flashed, and the row of turquoise cavalry and horses that rushed to the front were split into two pieces.
"Poof-" A large amount of blood spurted out, squirting all the Mo Dao hands in front into bloody people.
"Chop-" The cavalry of the back row rushed over immediately, and Li Siye yelled again, and the Mo knife in his hand was cut down accurately and very well.
With a sound of "brush-", another flash of sword flashed, and the second row of turkey cavalry that rushed over was all split in half with their men and horses.
The entire Modao team did not stop advancing because of the chopping, but while chopping and killing the enemy, they marched forward with neat steps, and all the turquoise cavalry that rushed in front were split in half.
The Modao team advanced like a wall, and the turquoise cavalry in front of them were all cut into pieces, and none of them missed the net, the wide and sharp Modao brought deterrence and lethality far from being comparable to the spears and spears, and the Modao team advanced dozens of meters to leave a broken corpse, and after the front of the Tuqi cavalry all disappeared, the rear of the Tucai cavalry began to chill, especially when they saw the Modao team one by one as if they were crawling out of the pool of blood, they exclaimed: "Run, run, Modao team, this is the Modao team!" ”
The power of the Mo Dao team and the deterrent effect brought by it were extraordinary, and after the hundreds of cavalry who were originally going to flee back to General Pei City lost more than half of them in the hands of the Mo Dao team, the remaining half of them turned around and ran again, but at this time, the turk cavalry in the west had been rushed and killed by Zhao Ziliang with more than 2,000 cavalry.
After being attacked and suffering heavy casualties, the two thousand cavalry brought by Wali had completely collapsed, and he was no longer able to control his men, these people died, fled, and some ran to the river in order to escape, but unfortunately it was the time of summer and autumn, the ice and snow melted quickly, the river swelled, the water was very fast, and the horse and water were almost certain to die.
Zhao Ziliang kept taking more than 100 soldiers to rush back and forth in the turquoise cavalry, and the captains of the other battalions surrounded and killed the scattered turk cavalry, and strangled them for half an hour, and all the turk cavalry that remained in place had been killed, and the cavalry of the turkish who fled to Broken Leaf City was less than 400 people.
"Chu Ge, Liang Qi, gather everyone to return to General Pei City, don't clean the battlefield, it's too late! Wang Can, you take the sentinel team to Shattered Leaf City to investigate, and once a large number of enemy troops in Broken Leaf City rush to this side, immediately send someone to report it! Murong Chenggong took your 300 men, and the other 200 cavalry of Dunduo City, all of them went with me first, and hurried to General Pei City at a faster speed."
"No!"
Zhao Ziliang quickly rushed back to General Pei City with Murong Chenggong and five hundred Tucai cavalry, on the way Zhao Ziliang rode a horse and said to Murong Chenggong: "When you get to General Pei City, you are dressed as Wali's subordinates, who have just been ambushed and returned, don't let the people on the city wall see your appearance clearly, your clothes are the same, and after the battle just now, as long as you don't look carefully, you won't recognize it, once you open the city gate, we will immediately rush in and occupy the city gate, and then kill into the city!" ”
"No!"
Zhao Ziliang and the others quickly rode their horses to the city gate with an embarrassed look, and Murong Chenggong stopped and raised his head and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
A head came out of the castle tower: "Who are you?" ”
"Blind your dog's eye! Lao Tzu is the centurion of the guard under the commander of the ten thousand masters, we were ambushed by the Tang army on the middle of the road, and the losses were heavy, the master of the ten thousand men and the participants will arrive later, and now the Tang army is chasing behind, quickly open the city gate and let us in, and it will be too late to open the door when the captain arrives! ”
The people on the city tower saw a large number of torches in the distance, and these torches were like a long dragon coming quickly towards this side, and immediately believed Murong Chenggong's words, and immediately shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”
"Squeak・・・・・・ squeak・・・・・・・" The gate was lowered and a bridge was formed over the moat.
Zhao Ziliang saw that the city gate was completely lowered, and immediately raised the golden nail jujube yang lance and shouted: "Kill in—"
"Kill-" The Tucai cavalry of Toucheng quickly rushed into the city, and soon there were a large number of shouts of killing on the city towers, on the streets of the city, and in various houses, ten minutes later, Liang Qi and Chu Ge quickly came to reinforce with the main force of the Tang cavalry, and in less than an hour, all the Tushi soldiers in the city of General Pei were cleaned up.
