Chapter 263: War! charge

"How? Haha, where are there still people in Chang'an who can lead troops now? If they don't come out, we'll have to work hard, and if they dare to come out to fight, my 20,000 iron horsemen can just step on the other side. ”

Huo Quzhi laughed.

But at this moment, the smoke and dust rolled in the direction of Chang'an, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard, and everyone followed the sound to look, only to see that the city gate was opened, and several teams of people and horses were pouring out, this Liang Ji really sent troops to fight.

"Alas, this Liang Ji is really an idiot!"

Liu Yuetian smiled and sighed.

Where does Liang Ji still have any combat power now, if they stick to the city, they may be able to delay the time of destruction, but these people send troops to fight against themselves, which is tantamount to early death, and it is also what Liu Yuetian and Huo Qubing want to see the most.

"General Huo, now that the other party has gone to war, the rest depends on which of us can enter Chang'an first."

"Okay, then let's do our own thing!"

After the two sides finished speaking, they each led their troops back to their own formations.

Liang Ji was dressed in gold armor at the moment, with a wind-chasing horse under his crotch, and the handsome flag behind him was swinging in the wind.

In just one day, Liang Ji raised an army of 50,000, which sounds very powerful, but in addition to his own 20,000 personal guards, the others are ordinary people who have been forcibly recruited, and there are even thousands of prisoners inside.

And the only generals that Liang Ji can drive now are his many righteous sons, and the people who originally flattered him have long been missing, and they can't be found.

"Hmph, I have an army of 50,000, and the two of you are only 40,000, so I don't believe I can't beat you!"

Liang Ji personally sat in charge, and when he saw the boundless soldiers around him, he couldn't help but hope to be reborn.

"Oh? This Liang Ji actually led the troops out in person, and it seems that he is really a military general. ”

Liu Yuetian saw the huge umbrella cover in the array from a distance, which was more than three zhang high, and could be seen within a radius of several miles.

"Brother Shi, Brother Chang, Sister Shangxiang, these people will be handed over to you, the plan is according to what we set before, go ahead, beat him up!"

Liu Yuetian knew that the outcome of this battle had been decided, even if there were only more than 20,000 of his own, the other party was not an opponent, not to mention Huo Quai's 20,000 horses, that Huo Qubing was also a famous general in history, and the two attributes of force value and commander value had reached seventy, with his help, his subordinates would definitely be able to minimize casualties.

"My lord, you sit here and watch us!"

Chang encountered Chun Shile and others waving the command flag, and the formation of the army was constantly changing, and the deployment was completed in a moment.

Sun Shangxiang's 500 musket team was at the forefront, a row of 100 people, interspersed with infantry armed with crossbow arrows, and on both sides were cavalry teams facing the enemy in a goose-shaped formation, and in their rear, dozens of trebuchets had been set up, controlled by five people, ready to attack at any time.

However, before Liu Yuetian's army could attack, Huo Qubing in the distance had already launched an attack, and his 20,000 cavalry rolled towards the other party like a torrent, and the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

"Attack!"

As soon as the spring flag was waved, the troops trotted forward, and the cavalry did not move quickly, and always pressed on the position.

Liang Ji also gave the order to attack at this moment, and the first to bear the brunt was Huo Quai, and his 20,000 personal guards also rushed towards the other party, and the two sides were fighting in one place in an instant.

Liang Ji's personal guards are not comparable to other armies in the Great Zhou, and the task of these people is to guard Liang Ji's safety.

Although Liang Ji collapsed the army of the Great Zhou, he would never treat these guards the same, after all, this group of people is to protect their own lives, and they will never relax in their daily training.

In the same way, the treatment enjoyed by this pro-guard was much higher than that of other armies, and the monthly salary was as much as five taels of silver, and each of them was in the prime of life, with strong bodies, each heavily armoured and armed with sharp swords, and they knew that this was a decisive battle, and if the other party won, their own treatment would be gone, and they must fight hard for their own benefit, even if the enemy is like a wolf and a tiger, they will not flinch.

"Boom!"

The two armies collided fiercely, they were the elite of both sides, and there was no skill at all, and the competition was whose combat power was stronger and whose courage was stronger.

Looking at Liu Yuetian's gang again, they took small steps all the way forward, and soon the enemy in the distance was also killed.

Chang Yu Chun Shile and others encountered a lot of team is much worse, these people have Liang Ji temporarily recruited soldiers, as well as forcibly recruited people, the most are prisoners in prison, Liang Ji promised to pardon their mistakes as long as they can repel the enemy, and reward ten taels of silver for each beheading, if you kill the enemy's head, then directly seal the marquis.

This kind of incentive seems to be very rich, and now these people are also very excited, and they rushed towards Liu Yuetian's army with knives and guns in their hands.

"Ready, shoot!"

At the sound of an order, the musket team at the forefront began to attack first.

"Bang bang bang!"

After the gunfire the enemy fell one piece, then the second row of muskets, then the third and fourth rows, until the fifth row was finished, the process was very compact, it was completed in five breaths, and when the fifth row of muskets was finished, the first row had been reloaded again, and then the second round of attacks.

The musket had a long range, enough to shoot the opponent within a hundred zhang, and in just a few moments, a thousand people were knocked to the ground by the musket, and at this moment, the cavalry teams on both sides also rushed to a distance of thirty zhang from the opponent, and the crossbow arrows quickly harvested the opponent's life.

Not only their forward troops, but also dozens of trebuchets behind them also began to attack, and a piece of 100-pound stones was thrown into the opponent's team, and 20,000 or 30,000 people poured in like a flood, and there was not much space between them, let alone a hundred-pound boulder, even if a knife was thrown to the ground, it could stab one person.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The impact of the boulder was unbearable even for the hardest shield, and the person who was directly hit became a pile of flesh and mud on the spot, and the person who was close to him was only slightly scratched, but he also lost his ability to move.

Dozens of trebuchets kept flying up and down, smashing each other crying dad and mother, although the casualties caused were not as many as muskets and crossbow arrows, but the impact on people was too great.

"Ahh Yes.........! ”

The soldiers were so frightened that they let out a miserable scream, the originally neat formation was suddenly chaotic, the soldiers in the rear were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and the front army also suffered heavy losses at the moment, they still wanted to rush to the front of the opponent's formation and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, but where did they think that the distance was dozens of zhang away and they fell to the ground inexplicably, and the closer they shot crossbow arrows like rain.

These soldiers are all improvised patchwork, not to mention combat power, even the basic offensive formation is not there, it looks very strong, but in fact it is far behind, if they are close to each other in a melee, maybe they can rely on a little bravery, but now they are beaten by crossbows and muskets and can't get close, this time the morale is less than half, plus seeing the boulders flying over their heads, the soldiers behind the smashed screams, one by one is even more frightened.

At this moment, Shi Le and Chang Yuchun launched the order to attack, and the cavalry and infantry let out an earth-shattering roar and rushed towards each other.
