Chapter 204: Dirt Chicken and Tile Dog
Li Meng heard that Tang Er's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help but ask with a smile:
"Why, I'm afraid of fighting, but I'm still afraid of a lot of people."
Tang Er was also honest, and replied truthfully:
"I heard that there are also a lot of veteran soldiers under Liu Zeqing, we have attacked his scattered camp in the past, fought bandits and robbers, and have never fought with these veterans, so I really don't know the bottom of my heart."
Wang Hai on the side was not angry, and was about to say something, but Li Meng spoke first and asked Tang Erdao teasingly:
"Are you afraid of death?"
When this sentence came out, Tang Er's face was suddenly flushed with excitement, and he said in a muffled voice:
"This life belongs to adults, and small ones are not afraid."
Li Meng laughed, patted Tang Er's shoulder, and shouted with a smile:
"Just don't be afraid, lead the sons and daughters to beat them to pieces, go."
After saying a few words, Tang Er hugged his fists on the horse, and didn't say much about the horses, and ordered loudly at his subordinates, even if a number of open spaces were cleared around the inner city, they could not compete with the field, and the cavalry here tried their best to maintain the formation, and it could only be an array of fifteen horses side by side.
Tang Er was in the first row, watching the team quickly tidy up, and without saying much, with a straight swing of the spear, the entire cavalry team immediately started.
Li Meng recruited a large number of ringing horses that met his standards in Shandong, but these people definitely could not be used in the charge, they were a little scattered behind, looking at the veterans of the Jiaozhou battalion horse team in front of them with awe. Fifteen horses in a row, three in a row, a total of six, this is the team that has been laid out as much as possible, and the horses are pacing slowly forward in small steps under the control of the cavalry.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of Liu Bu, who were standing on the edge of the inner city trench, had not yet finished the whole team, and after these veterans saw that the other party was less than them, their original nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and the commotion there was not a look. Liu's military academies are also extremely relaxed.
But as soon as the Tang Erdi horse team moved, their side suddenly quieted down, and when the cavalry kept a neat formation and slowly advanced in this narrow open space, the pressure on people's hearts would be greater, and those military academies were immediately anxious when they saw this posture. Shouted loudly:
"Archers, firearms, go ahead, go ahead."
The officers kept shouting and scolding, and many of the archers and soldiers with firearms in the ranks hurriedly ran forward, which made the already chaotic ranks even more chaotic, and those soldiers with long-range weapons looked at the cavalry that was calmly pressing not far away, and their hearts were extremely panicked. I was thinking that if I hit the ground weapons in my hand, the cavalry rushed to me, and I couldn't take the bow and firearms to smash them, and ran back to the rear column before I could finish the fight.
Tang Er's horse team had only taken a few dozen steps forward, and suddenly heard a loud sound in front of him, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and many horses in the Jiaozhou battalion were a little restless. The cavalry was also a little flustered, and Tang Er also shuddered, but then he found that he was safe and sound, which was natural, and their position was simply outside the range of bows and arrows and firearms.
The small military academies of the horse team ordered one after another, stabilized the formation, and still stepped forward slowly, less than five steps forward, and the opponent's second round of bows and arrows and firearms were coming with great momentum, but they were still out of range.
This kind of Ming army is a common problem. Of course, Liu Bu was not exempt from vulgarity, and after playing the fourth round, the horse team entered the shooting range, and Tang Er was a little scared at the beginning, but he was calm in his heart in the end. This can be regarded as a battle with the regular army, and Tang Er's initial apprehension finally calmed down.
The horses had already begun to trot, and according to the discipline and the professor of *, they should still run twenty steps before they had to sprint, but Tang Er also reacted, and it was enough to sprint in the face of such an enemy. Do you still have to worry about the lack of horsepower in the end, the degree slows down, and the impact is not enough!
Tang Er shouted loudly first, the riding spear in his hand was flattened, and he rushed towards the enemy in front of him with a clamp on the belly of the horse. Watching his landlord make a move that was not in line with the canon. The cavalry were stunned, but on the battlefield. This was the highest order, and the cavalrymen lowered their spears one after another, shouted and urged their horses, and began to charge.
The charge of three hundred horses is not a large number, but in the eyes of those Liu Bu's soldiers and horses, it is like the sky is falling apart, and everyone is terrified, in fact, the archers and firearms soldiers in the first few rows can still shoot another round, and if they are skilled, they can even shoot a second round.
But the reaction of the vast majority of people was very unanimous, turning their heads towards the back of the team and rushing in, to resist such a fierce cavalry charge, and the infantry with spears, brother, I will carry a waist knife, I don't have a waist knife, so I won't do this dare to die.
Don't forget that there is a deep trench behind this formation, when Liu Zeqing established this inner city, it is estimated that he never thought that someone would rush to the inner city. Therefore, even if the inner city was built according to the rules of the fortress and the trenches were dug, there was no water in the trenches, and there were no spikes or anything like that, but they were dug deep enough.
The people in front rushed to the back, and the people in the back didn't know what was happening in front of them, and they didn't have time to react, the team was chaotic, and some people couldn't stabilize their bodies, so they were squeezed directly into the trench, and they fell dizzy and scolded loudly at the top.
Li Meng, who was in the back, took a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the battlefield carefully, and the battle with the regular army was a rare experience, and every detail had to be grasped, which was a valuable lesson.
When the cavalry rushed over, Li Meng still noticed that the foot soldiers on the opposite side felt very self-conscious, and their long weapons were stretched outward, which was also a necessary method for the infantry to resist the impact of the cavalry, but some people sat well enough, and those archers and firearms soldiers rushed back, but the scene was completely chaotic.
Liu Zeqing, who was on the suspension bridge, saw this situation, and immediately knew that the outside could not hold on, and the more than 300 cavalry on the opposite side were charging in such a small place, and he was in such a mess, if the other team's team pressed over!
Liu Zeqing also understood it, shouted at his own soldiers and cronies, and directly turned his horse towards the inner city gate and rushed in.
Tang Er's horse team sprinted, rushed more than 20 steps, but now the distance between the other party and himself did not seem to be closer, in the end it was the old army, the degree of withdrawal was really amazing, a group of people crowded on the suspension bridge, desperately trying to rush into the door, and some people were squeezed into the ditch from the suspension bridge, and the sound of shouting and howling was chaotic.
But it should also be regarded as lucky, Tang Er is very depressed to control the cavalry, if you sprint fully, you may have to rush to the ditch, but there is not much room to turn in this place, you can only stop around a *** with difficulty, and the cavalry team is also a little chaotic, so you can only regroup.
It was this free time that gave Liu Zeqing's soldiers a chance to breathe, but they didn't have the courage to take advantage of the weakness to attack, they just rushed towards the city.
If Tang Er and the others rushed forward a few more steps, maybe these soldiers would have to take weapons and kill each other, even so, there were no less than 400 people who fell into the trench, although the ditch was deep, and no one could be killed, but if they were hit by the people who fell down from above, they might not be fine.
This was also a cavalry charge after the killing, the two sides actually did not fight with each other, and more than 300 people did not have time to enter the city, and the city gate was closed directly. After Tang Er finished sorting out the team, these abandoned soldiers were also neat, seeing that they couldn't run into the city, they directly threw away their weapons and knelt in front of them to beg for mercy, Tang Er took a few breaths, this is how he resisted the urge to cut people by himself, and ordered his subordinates to tie people up and take them to the back.
Several horsemen ran to the drawbridge and cut off the chain linking the drawbridge to the city with a few axes, and no one even came up on the other side's head.
Li Meng put down the clairvoyant mirror, shook his head, and couldn't help laughing on the horse, and said:
"This is too wasteful!"
Wang Hai said with a somewhat confused interface behind him:
"Those gentry in Yanzhou Mansion are all saying that they are very powerful, isn't it the main force that is fighting today?"
The faces of the gentry under Li Meng's horse turned white with fright, since the cavalry leveled the spears and began to charge into battle, some of these gentry who had never seen any scenes were even directly paralyzed on the ground in fright, in fact, if it was calculated in the current time unit, it was only fifteen minutes.
The squire who was a little calmer below could hear the meaning of Wang Hai's words asking them, and he didn't care about being rude, so he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and replied respectfully while wiping cold sweat on his face:
"Back to the general's words, it is really a great army, the thieves are small and vulnerable, Liu thieves have plagued the place for many years, and today my Caozhou villagers are finally looking forward to a savior!"
These words turned very fast, and he left some turns for himself between his words, and now he was already reprimanding "Liu Thief", Wang Hai heard the title of "general" and felt a burst of dizziness, it was the first time that someone called him like this, and he was really excited.
"It's a thief, you villagers have to remember, don't make a mistake."
"Please rest assured, the villains know in their hearts, and they will definitely not be wrong, they are thieves, thieves!"
The faces of the squires below were already white, and they echoed again and again, but they were also glad in their hearts, this time they saw the direction of the wind, and in the future, they would follow the boundary of Caozhou or Yanzhou.
The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion had already begun to collect materials for the crash car that hit the city gate, when they heard someone shouting excitedly from the periphery:
"The cannon is coming" The higher the motivation, the ^^
