The 702nd cavalry sortie
"Now that the time has come, let's get moving! Let the reserves go into battle and clear the city of Turkic troops. Three warriors, the victory or defeat is at this moment, kill! â
Zhao Xun gave an order, and the five thousand reserve troops went out to fight, and immediately descended the mountain like a tiger, and immediately slowly pressed back the unfavorable situation, and the defenders, who were originally at a disadvantage, immediately began to counterattack fiercely.
The input of thousands of elite new forces immediately slowed down the offensive of the Turkic army, and thousands of brave guards divided into groups to attack the section of the city wall occupied by the Turkic soldiers, and under their impact, the Turkic soldiers who occupied the city wall were soon driven down.
Soon, the Turks occupied less and less of the area on the city wall, and eventually, only a stretch of fifty or sixty meters long remained. Because this area is close to the city gate, it is also the main attack point of the Turkic army, and the Turkic army has almost opened up the inside and outside of the city wall, completely squeezing the defenders into a little area close to the inner city wall.
And on the outside of this section of the wall, the Turkic army erected a number of ladders as the main direction of attack. Even, the Turkic army has used the corpses of the dead soldiers on both sides to build a simple line of defense to block the defenders' counterattack.
Here, a steady stream of Turkic soldiers still poured up. As a result, this place immediately became the place that posed the greatest threat to Blue Capital City, and it was also the place where Zhao Jun needed to take it immediately.
"Pro-Guard, Heavy Armor Battalion Fight!" When Zhao Xun saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and he ordered in a cold voice.
Soon, a group of soldiers of the Guards rushed to the top of the city. These soldiers were dressed in a completely different way from ordinary soldiers, and they were all wrapped in thick black armor. These heavy armors were made of large pieces of steel plates, which looked extremely heavy, cuirasses, shoulder armor, leg armor, iron boots, and iron gloves. Helmets, also known as hoods, are readily available. The whole person was wrapped in thick steel, and it looked like a steel can, with only two eyes exposed. They are the kings of infantry among the guards, hoplites.
In their iron gloved hands, they held a large long-handled axe, the surface of which was the size of a basin, the back of the axe was very heavy, and the blade was shining with a faint cold light, which looked extremely sharp. The heavy armor on their bodies, plus the big axe weapons in their hands, must weigh at least more than 100 catties!
Seeing them come out, the guards who were originally crowded together spontaneously made way of a way, allowing these iron cans to pass through, and the steel can door was silent, just holding a big axe to kill the city head on the right side of the city gate.
With the footsteps of "Boom ......", soon, the Turkic soldiers who occupied the section of the city wall on the right side of the city gate found that the enemy in front of them had changed.
Seeing these enemies wrapped in heavy steel armor and like steel cans brandishing large axes and silently rushing towards this side, the eyes of the Turkic soldiers inevitably showed a look of horror - this has nothing to do with courage, it is the instinctive reaction of human beings after seeing a strong enemy.
The heavy armor soldiers held their axes high and smashed into the array of the remaining Turkic troops, although the Turkic soldiers were afraid, they could only grit their teeth to meet them, at this moment, they had no choice but to fight.
A Turkic sergeant swung his knife and slashed at a heavy armored soldier in front of him, this heavy armored soldier did not dodge or dodge, but just raised his arm to block, and let the waist knife slash heavily on his upper arm, and the sharp scimitar slashed at the thick arm of the heavy armor, but it only stirred up a spark, leaving a white mark on the thick shoulder armor. However, the big axe in the hands of the heavy armor soldier had already fallen on his head, and suddenly the Turkic soldier was split in half by his head, and the red and white splashed in all directions......
The Turkic soldiers on the walls soon found themselves helpless against the opponents in front of them. For hoplites with heavy armor, they can only be protected from advancing by using long weapons such as spears and halberds, or they can also be used with heavy and powerful weapons such as axes, maces, and giant hammers, and struck through the armor to shock them to death. Or, run so fast that the heavily armored soldiers in heavy armor can't get close enough to drag them down.
However, the current Turkic soldiers only have waist swords in their hands, and they are at the head of the city, and they are still the besiegers. Of course, if you are an archer, you can also shoot the opponent in the eye to win, but the odds are too low.
In just a short moment, the Turkic soldiers had already killed and wounded nearly a thousand people, more than hundreds, although they were still pouring towards the city from afar, but they could not gain an advantage, and could only be compressed into a small pitiful area, helplessly waiting for the other party's long axe to chop.
"Don't kill too quickly, leave it for the Turks to take the city, with the heavy armoured soldiers attacking in front and the crossbowmen covering the killing. To give hope to the Turkic army, the king also wants to see how many of them can be sent to their deaths. In addition, the heavy armor battalion is divided into several teams and takes turns to fight, so as not to suffer casualties due to exhaustion. Elsewhere, suppress the enemy forces to the death, and not let them make a breakthrough. In addition, the cavalry is always ready to be dispatched. Zhao Xun commanded in a deep voice.
Zhang Ju's eyes lit up and said, "The lord is wise, and his subordinates will arrange it." â
Suddenly, on the wall to the right of the city gate, a trap was formed that constantly attracted the Turkic army into the urn. Beneath the city walls, countless Turkic soldiers poured upwards, hoping to break through the city from here. And when these soldiers climbed to the top of the city, they found that this was not a place of meritorious service, but a place of death where they were slaughtered. But by the time they understood, they could no longer turn back, and could only die at the hands of Zhao Jun.
The sharpness of the heavy armor soldiers frightened the Turkic troops who went to the city, and also made the faces of the three generals pale. Zhao Jun's toughness is now completely imprinted in their hearts. The three town guards let go of the unwillingness in their hearts......
"Throwing stones and rolling wood, pouring gold juice ......" In the rest of the sections, under the orders of the officers, the Zhao army began to counterattack.
In an instant, the city-defending equipment such as stone rolling logs, which should not have appeared again, appeared in Blue Capital City again, and once again played a huge effect. Countless Turkic soldiers who had climbed the ladder were smashed down and killed.
"Send a message to the acropolis on the left and right, and the cavalry will attack. The cavalry in the city was also ready for battle, and at the same time as the cavalry of the Acropolis attacked, they went out of the city to fight. In addition, it is best to get back the hundreds of thousands of horses and hundreds of thousands of livestock of the Turkic army camp outside the city. Zhao Xun said lightly.
"Subordinates take orders!" Zhang Ju said excitedly. Immediately, he arranged for his subordinates to pass on the information.
On the left side of the acropolis, the first town Captain Huang became the main general. Since the beginning of the Great War, it has been waiting for military orders from the main city. At all times, the cavalry of the 10,000 Zhao army and the three warriors in the city were ready, ready to fight at any time. Therefore, on the left wall of the acropolis, he has always arranged for several soldiers with clairvoyance to observe the head of the blue capital city, waiting for the news from the city wall, the news that let him fight.
"Isn't it time to strike?" Huang Cheng looked at the sky at sunset and said to himself secretly. Looking at the battle of the main city, he was also secretly anxious. It's a shame that I wasn't able to participate in this kind of big war.
"General...... Checkmate...... Back to the general, there is a message from the main city! â
"What?" Huang Cheng was stunned, and hurriedly took the clairvoyance in the hands of the soldiers who came to summon the news, and looked towards the Blue Capital City on the left. I saw that above the gate tower of the Blue Capital City, a flame unicorn flag swayed back and forth.
"Haha...... Great, it's finally Captain Pontus' turn. Someone, open the city gate, and the cavalry will go out of the city to kill the enemy with the captain of Bendu! Huang Cheng shouted excitedly.
At the same time, on the acropolis on the left side of the Blue Capital City, the main general Qin Yuan also issued the same military order.
"My lord, my subordinates...... Subordinates, please fight! "Above the Blue Capital City, Han Meng, the general of the Pro-Guard Army, suddenly asked Zhao Xun for battle.
Zhao Xun smiled and nodded, "It's okay!" This time, you will lead the cavalry of the Pro-Guard Army and the rest of the cavalry to fight against the Turkic army! â
"The subordinates will live up to the name of the pro-guard!" Han Meng said loudly. With that, he turned and left, and inside the north gate, there was already a neat and ready to go department waiting for him.
The cavalry of the pro-guard army quickly gathered, and Han Meng brought the cavalry together with the cavalry commander Nangong Hao, who had been waiting for a long time, and the more than 10,000 cavalry that had gone out to fight this time. More than 15,000 cavalrymen were all in full armor and waiting to go out of the city to fight.
"General Han, we are one left and one right, just split and attack, how about it?" Nangong Hao said with a smile.
Han Meng nodded and said, "This is very good, in this way, we can also defeat the Turkic army outside the city in the shortest possible time." â
Seeing that Han Meng had no objections, Nangong Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he held the city wall in his hand, pointed his gun at the sky, and shouted, "Open the city gate and go to war!" â
The curtain is dusk, the remnant sun is like blood, under the reflection of the setting sun, the large sunset in the west of the sky is like a splash of blood, the red is amazing!
The Blue Capital City, which had been fighting fiercely for most of the day, was still in the melee, but at this time, although the soldiers on both sides were still fighting to the death. But the sound of the roar was also hoarse, and the hand that drew the knife was slow, and even when he was running, his wheezing was no longer even. Just like two equally tall giants, they have exhausted their last strength, making the last insistence, and no one knows who will fall first.
Above the Blue Capital City, the area to the right of the city gate is still an area that continuously attracts Turkic troops to their deaths. And the Turkic army did not hesitate to continue to send people forward, vowing to break through the Blue Capital.
"Fire oil, pour fire oil!" Above the north gate, the officers' hurried shouts rang out. Suddenly, boiling oil fell from the sky and sprinkled around the city gates. Immediately, a torch was thrown, which immediately turned the vicinity of the north city gate into a sea of fire, and the surrounding siege Turkic soldiers immediately scattered......
The flames had not completely dissipated, the screams were still continuing, and the north city gate, which had been attacking for a long time without a trace of movement, suddenly creaked. Then, under everyone's gaze, the north gate opened automatically. The drawbridge, which had lost its effect due to the filling of the moat, was also lowered, and a wide passage was in front of me.
The Turkic soldiers outside the northern city gate simply didn't believe their eyes, and the city gate that had been opened with great suffering was now opened.
The commanders closest to the north gate immediately commanded their men to gather at the city gate, ready to wait for the gate to be opened, and when the flames at the gate were extinguished, they would enter the city. Countless Turkic soldiers and soldiers showed an extraordinary quick reaction at this time, and quickly converged towards the city gate.
A muffled sound sounded, like a muffled thunder on the edge of the summer sky. Just as the Turkic soldiers outside the city were about to converge at the city gate, a rolling torrent suddenly rushed out of the wide open city gate. No, at the front is a torrent of steel.
The heavy armored cavalry of the Zhao army gathered in the capital and let out a monstrous roar at this moment. After these 5,000 heavy cavalry, there were 10,000 light cavalry. Five thousand heavy armored cavalry, all black heavy plate armor, black helmets, wearing red cloaks, red helmets, and even the war horses are also covered with protective plate armor, this is a torrent of black and red mixed steel.
The long flaming red cloak flew behind them, the spear clenched in their hands, and a huge flaming unicorn flag fluttered in front of them!
"Da Zhao Tieqi, invincible!" Nangong Hao, who was straddling the war horse, shouted loudly.
"Da Zhao Tieqi, invincible!" Fifteen thousand roars rang out behind him, and with an unparalleled might, the sword was unsheathed. All the things that still exist in front of you fly up and step into flesh.
Among Zhao Xun's 30,000 personal guards, in addition to 10,000 foot soldiers, among the 20,000 cavalry, there was a heavy armored cavalry, specially selected to make a sudden attack when it was critical.
As soon as the heavy cavalry moves, it must represent invincibility and invulnerability. As long as you choose the time and place, you will put the heavy cavalry into it, and you will be killed with one blow.
The heavy cavalry has limited endurance and does not have the ability to continue fighting, but it sacrifices all its continuous combat ability in exchange for this strongest burst assault ability. Even if it's short-lived, it's worth it.
Therefore, in this offensive and defensive battle, the heavy cavalry has been waiting for the battle at this moment. In order to completely open the passage and quickly crush the resistance of the Turkic army.
"Uh...... Damn it! Cavalry...... It's the heavy cavalry...... "The Turkic soldiers who were rushing towards the north gate were all pale when they saw such a black and red frenzy suddenly rushing out of the city gate amid the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.
The earth is shaking, and the heavy riders are sprinting! The Turkic soldiers at the gate of the northern city only heard a loud shout, and the next moment, a group of heavily armored cavalry came like a monstrous wave.
In the eyes of several commanders who could only fight, the thousands of Turkic warriors at the gate of the northern city were already under the iron hooves of the Zhao army's heavily armed iron cavalry in an instant. Suddenly, they were like snow on the ground, suddenly poured boiling water, and suddenly continued to melt and disappear......
Rows of Turkic soldiers, without even having time to scream, were immediately overwhelmed by this mixed black and red frenzy. On the huge battlefield, there are people everywhere, and the iron hooves of the cavalry do not need to chase at all, as long as they go all the way, then countless enemies will fall under the iron hooves and spears.
The Turkic soldiers who reacted on the battlefield kept dodging the heavy cavalry, and at the same time kept opening their bows and arrows to shoot at the Sui army. It's a pity that no matter how many arrows are shot at the heavy horseman's body, they will only turn into a clanging sound.
The thousands of Turkic soldiers at the gate of the city did not even play the role of blocking the iron cavalry, and they were already trampled by the five thousand heavy cavalry at the front. Nearly half of the Turkic soldiers were trampled to death or stabbed to death, and most of the rest fled in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy cavalry split into two and attacked along the city wall to both sides, while the 10,000 light cavalry following the heavy cavalry also split into two and rushed to both sides.
"What's going on? Zhao Jun attacked? The situation on the battlefield suddenly stunned the entire Turkic army. They didn't expect that when it was almost difficult for the Zhao army to hold the city, they would dare to go out of the city to fight.
"Damn! Our soldiers are foot soldiers now, bastards! The commander of the Turkic Army, Ji Li, suddenly had red eyes and roared angrily. Seeing his own warriors being killed by Zhao Jun like chopping melons and vegetables, he suddenly became angry. If it is a simple cavalry decisive battle, Geely is naturally not afraid of the other party, even if the opponent has heavy armored cavalry. However, at this moment, the forty or fifty thousand soldiers who are besieging the city are all dismounted from their horses and become foot soldiers, how can they resist the opponent's cavalry charge? What's more, there are heavy armored cavalry on the other side.
"Order, all the cavalry of the Chinese army will go to battle, quickly! Meet the cavalry of the Zhao army! In addition, let the last 20,000 troops immediately retreat, return to the camp and mount their horses, this time, it is necessary to leave all the cavalry of the Zhao army. Compete with us in cavalry battles, my Turkic army warriors, never afraid of field battles! At this moment, Geely could only let the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry to meet the other party.
"Report ...... Commander Qiqi, the enemy left and right acropolis suddenly opened the gates, and the enemy cavalry in the city came out, and at this moment, it is coming to us! At this moment, the number of horsemen hurried over and returned to Jilin.
There is no need to reply, at this moment, Jilin has already seen the situation of the two acropolises that are only four or five miles apart. At this moment, Jilin's eyes were wide open with anger, and his face was pale. Because, in the place of his own rear army, on the left and right, there was a cavalry rushing to kill.
"Are they prepared? Could it be Zhao Jun's plan? Jilin's face became extremely ugly. Now, not only is the Zhao army attacking its own soldiers under the city wall, but also the intention of attacking and killing its own headquarters and its camp.
Gradually, thunder came from both sides, and the ground under my feet trembled gently. The cavalry on both sides of the Zhao army was getting closer and closer.
The faces of the several commanders around Jilin changed, and the faces of the surrounding cavalry also changed. As for the Turkic soldiers who were besieging the city and those who were chased by the cavalry of the Zhao army and fled, they were even more dead at this moment. Their rear army was attacked, and it was still enemy cavalry, and they had no chance of withdrawing along the lĂŹ......
