Chapter 59: Kill Hard

The attackers of the new army are divided into many types.

There are blasting the city wall, there are climbing the city to attack, there are blocking the enemy after the break, there are breaking through the siege, and there are 2,000 attackers who specialize in dealing with the Jurchen cavalry.

Two thousand attackers, selected with fast reaction ability and quick speed, carried homemade grenades, that is, explosive canisters, and short barrels dedicated to the golden cavalry after the charge, mainly anti-personnel cavalry or war horses.

When the offensive of the Jurchen cavalry suddenly dropped a lot, Zhang Xiahai only felt that the opponent's combat effectiveness was unsustainable.

This is the perfect time to come in for a hitter.

However, he didn't expect that the order to withdraw his troops suddenly sounded in the distance.

Houjin has to be returned!

Zhang Xiahai chuckled in his heart, in today's battle, he knew very well Tang Xidong's psychology of fighting and then eradicating the enemy.

At this moment, Houjin was about to withdraw, and Zhang Xiahai felt a burst of urgency in his heart.

Personally beat the drum and command the attackers to go out and kill the enemy.

Two thousand people, dressed in simple piece armor, the piece armor only defended the vital points, in order to reduce the weight of the body, adjust the speed and agility.

At this time, the Jurchen cavalry at the forefront had already begun to turn their horses and prepare to evacuate.

Zhang Xiahai mentioned it again with anxiety in his heart.

Finally, standing on the wooden platform, he saw the attackers rushing out of the large array towards the Jurchen cavalry.

At this time, the Jurchens had already begun to turn their horses' heads and retreat backwards.

However, because the battlefield has been bombed out of a few tunnels, and there are too many cavalry in the rear, it is not a temporary force to evacuate.

This gives the attacker plenty of time.

As the attackers rushed out of the big formation, the Tang cavalry on both sides also turned their horses' heads and began to rush towards the back of the Jurchen.

Seeing that it was difficult to evacuate for a while, the last few hundred horsemen of the Jurchen cavalry took the initiative to stay behind.

The attackers were divided into two echelons and ran forward in a fan shape, in teams of five, inserted into the cavalry.

First shoot the horses with short guns, and then detonate them with explosive canisters to detonate the cavalry array.

Often the explosion is instantaneous, and the flying stone has not completely landed, so it gets up again and continues to go deeper.

Thereupon.

In the entire retreating Jurchen cavalry array, uneven gunfire and explosions began to sound.

Countless sand, gravel and soil were splashed, and smoke and dust were steaming.

The war horses neighed, and the Jurchens howled miserably.

The earth instantly struck like sand.

From the rear of the Jurchen retreat, it began to spread towards the front of the Jurchen retreat.

Chaos descended in an instant.

Among the Jurchen cavalry, there were constantly Ezhen shouting loudly and directing them to turn around and fight back.

But the smoke and dust rose, and for a while, except for the people around him, it was difficult to see the scene in the smoke and dust.

I was afraid that the enemy would rush out, but I didn't dare to shoot indiscriminately, but I was afraid that it would hit my own people.

The attacker who made his debut on the battlefield gave the Jurchens a difficult problem to solve.

The attackers went all the way deep, some were knocked to the ground by the panicked war horses, and some were pierced by the bows and arrows of the Jurchen cavalry.

Although some people kept falling, the rest kept burying their heads and moving forward.

After running out of explosives, the attackers who rushed to the front turned and turned backwards, while the second team following in the rear instantly moved forward to fill the gap.

The explosions continued as they spread towards the denser Jurchen cavalry.

The chaos was followed by an even greater panic.

The place where the attackers blew up all the way, after a while, was revealed.

Among the cavalry horses killed and wounded by the explosion, there were only the surviving Jurchen cavalry who struggled to control the horses.

These people had just been revealed in the smoke, and they were greeted by Tang Qi, who was galloping and killing.

The land was in turmoil, and the corpses were scattered.

Tang Qi was difficult to approach, and his speed could not be raised.

Fortunately, the Han soldiers in the Tang cavalry were equipped with short guns, and whenever they saw a Jurchen cavalry in the smoke, they raised their hands to shoot, while the Mongolian cavalry in the Tang cavalry shot with longbows.

Tang Cai, who had been suppressed by the Jurchen cavalry, finally took advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy, relieving his depression and frustration.

The war has been going on, going on.

The Jurchen cavalry turned from retreating to fleeing.

The damage inflicted on the Jurchen cavalry by the attackers was really unprecedented.

Killing is still secondary, mainly because the psychological shock is still restrained by nowhere to start.

As the attackers advance.

As the Jurchens began to run in complete panic.

In the midst of the big array, the snare drum sounded again.

This time, it was the call for the whole army to attack.

Tens of thousands of new troops finally stopped being trapped behind the chariot formation and began to charge.

After the Jurchens began to retreat without discipline, Zhang Xiahai finally let go of the worries in his heart and began to attack with the infantry in his hands.

Tens of thousands of new troops swept away like a river.

The Jurchens have been dizzy by the attack of the attackers at this moment, and they have no rules and organizations, and they are fighting on their own.

The Tang cavalry pursued and killed, and the infantry charged step by step.

Some resisted, while others took the opportunity to flee.

In the distance, Huang Taiji looked at the completely corrupted situation, and his face turned pale.

Youxin rushed forward with his own soldiers to stop the enemy, but the courage in his heart had already been diminished little by little in the long battle.

Huang Taiji turned his horse's head and began to rush into the distance.

He knew that the enemy could not catch up with the Jurchens on horseback.

————

In the evening, the sky is full of red clouds, and the sun is returning to the west.

The earth is full of devastation.

Countless figures are cleaning up the battlefield, and the world has finally become quiet.

Under the guidance of his own soldiers, Tang Xidong walked forward step by step.

Yanmen Pass was reduced to ruins, and more completely than the ruins, it was full of corpses as far as the eye could see.

In front of him, Zhang Xiahai and others formed a circle.

Tang Xidong kept his mouth shut.

Tang Sanxian was lying in the corpses of a group of ordinary people, he had already become cold, but there seemed to be a happy smile on his face.

His eyes were still open, and he should have wanted to look at the sky, but now he looked at a baby beside him who had just come to the world and left in a hurry.

"Bring the wine." Tang Xidong's voice was very soft, and the movement of sitting down was also very light.

The wind was blowing, and the air was scorching and bloody.

There were corpses all underneath him.

Tang Xidong was still wearing the scholar's robe, sitting on the ground mixed with blood.

Trembling took the wine.

raised his head and took a sip, then laboriously raised Tang Sanxian's head, and waved his hand to signal that Zhang Xiahai and the others did not need to help.

I poured the wine carefully, but unfortunately the wine entered my mouth and spilled out.

Tang Xidong laughed and cried again.

"When Jucai got married, you went back to Pingyang, you came to accompany Jucai to toast, I asked you boy, you are no longer the leather monkey of the year, when are you going to start a family, and I can find something to do for your unconscious old lady."

Tang Xidong drank wine and shed tears.

"You probably didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile, when you finish killing the Tartars, you will get married."

"What does killing Tartars have to do with you?"

"You said again, you don't know, you only know that Mr. is bent on killing Tartars, and you don't care about other people in the world, but Mr.'s business is your business!"

Tang Xidong sobbed, trying to laugh but finally cried.

"It's my fault, I hurt you and more than 20,000 Han'er."

"In this world, there are few people who really kill Tartars, but there are many people who are alive and well."

"Those of us who kill Tartars will all die on the battlefield in the end."

"Your master said that if you hadn't walked out of Luoliang Mountain back then, maybe everyone would be alive now."

"I used to always say that you don't understand, but now I regret it, I think I was wrong, Luoliang Mountain is not big, but at least everyone can live, can live."

Beside him, a group of soldiers gathered around Zhang Xiahai, everyone has their own gloom and confusion.

"My lord, the world is so big, it may have nothing to do with us, but Shanxi is our family, we are willing to kill the Tartars, we are willing to die on the battlefield, the Tartars eat people, do not kill the Tartars, the ones who die are the people of Shanxi, and the relatives around us."

"It is better to shed our blood than to shed the blood of our loved ones."

"My lord, look at these people lying around you, if we don't kill the Tartars, the people of the entire Shanxi may be like this."

"Brother Tang left with a smile, I think he thinks the same as I do."

These are Zhang Xiahai's words, and they are also the words of others.

Sunset.

Tang Xidong was drunk and sat there with tears in his eyes.

"You rest here, remember to call the brothers together, don't worry at home, I and everyone will help you kill the Tartars, and this account will be paid off little by little."

"I'm leaving, after killing the Tartars, I'll accompany you again!"
