Chapter 47 Dare to call the brave and conspire to fight for the world (2)
The posture is indeed very large, nearly 30,000 Xichuan generals, almost all of them are dispatched, and the sea of clouds and sandstorms are like a storm from all directions, rushing towards Xuanwu City. From Xuanwu City outward, on the wilderness where the line stretched for several miles, there were ironclad soldiers with the same number of sands of the Ganges River, and it was difficult to see the end at a glance.
Even more terrifying than the big posture is the momentum of the Xichuan soldiers, the wave of iron armor galloping forward, more ferocious than any previous offensive, if the other party was just a group of vicious dogs before, now it has become a group of hungry wolves, a group of tigers.
This change of momentum, looking at the Xichuan military formation from afar, you can feel its overwhelming pressure, and if you look closely at the trapped soldiers under the city wall, you can clearly see their fierce offensive without fear of death. The armorers attached to the city wall kept falling to the ground like dumplings, but behind each fallen armorer, there was a team of his comrades waiting with red eyes, and when the former fell to the ground and his life was uncertain, they scrambled to climb the ladder in front of them, and went forward one after another.
The blood spilled by his comrades and the corpses that fell down did not discourage these Xichuan soldiers, but it seemed to stimulate their bloodiness and make them return with a more fierce offensive. The archers behind the shield array, endlessly drawing bows and shooting arrows, seem to be forever tireless, and the trappers in front of the shield array have completely forgotten what death is.
Such an offensive made the entire Xuanwu City seem to be trembling constantly, like a grass house in the cold wind, and it will be uprooted by a hurricane at some point.
In the boiling offensive, Meng Ping saw Li Renhan's general flag, and under the banner of the general, Li Renhan kept shouting loudly, and commanded his corporal to fight everywhere in the arrow rain stone forest.
How could Meng Ping not know that since Li Renhan had arrived in front of this city wall, Zhao Tingyin and Zhang Zhiye must also be doing the same thing as Li Renhan outside the other city walls.
Walking up to the city, Meng Ping just showed his head, and when he saw the scene outside the city, he only had time to sigh, and dozens of sharp arrows fell within a few steps around him, and an arrow was even more close to his cheek, and the buzzing sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air trembled in his ears, and it penetrated into his ears for a long time.
After scolding his mother, Meng Ping hurriedly leaned down and hid behind the female wall, Zhao Hongyin didn't know when he dragged the big shield in his hand, and then put it on his head, rushed over in two steps, and covered both of them underneath, "Is the general okay?" ”
Meng Ping shook his head and scolded: "These turtle grandsons are very thieves!" What's the battle going on in Urn City? ”
"General rest assured, with General Lin guarding, there will be no problem for a while!" Zhao Hongyin replied while leaning his shield against the city wall, after all, putting a big shield on his head for the generals looked too much for the roe head and was not good for the morale of the soldiers.
"To conquer a strong fortress, you have to leave behind a corpse as high as the city walls." Meng Ping sneered, "You listen to me, unless the thief army has a corpse under his feet and can jump onto the city in one step, if this section of the city wall is lost, you will be the only one who asks!" ”
"The general can rest assured, the last general will not retreat!" As soon as Zhao Hongyin's words came out, he realized another meaning in Meng Ping's words, and couldn't help asking, "Where does the general plan to go?" ”
Meng Ping put on his sash and stood up, and the color of his face could no longer be seen, but the murderous aura in his eyes still gave Zhao Hongyin a clear look, "The momentum of the thief army is too arrogant, don't wear down their sharpness, today's city wall is not easy to defend the past, I was going to go out of the Tibetan soldier cave to attack him for a while, and kill their majesty!" ”
Zhao Hongyin's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he went out of the Tibetan military cave to counterattack the enemy, which was extremely dangerous, once he fell into the siege of the enemy army, there were many times when he went and had no return, how could he not be frightened? Stopping Meng Ping, Zhao Hongyin hurriedly said: "General, it is too dangerous to counterattack the thief army, let the last general go!" ”
Meng Ping stopped, his eyes were like knives, and he glared at the other party: "Since the founding of the Great Shuai Qimen Army, the Hundred Battles Army has gone through more than 100 battles so far, have you seen that even once, the Great Shuai did not charge ahead?" In the Hundred Battles Army, there has never been a general who is greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone a general who lets the soldiers charge into battle and hide behind himself! ”
"However, the general is constantly fighting, how can the main general tolerate mistakes?" Zhao Hongyin is still persuading.
Meng Ping suddenly became angry, he grabbed the back of Zhao Hongyin's neck, pulled him over suddenly, pointed to the city and yelled at him: "Zhao Hongyin, look at this city, you can show Ben will see clearly!" The walls are collapsing, the fortifications are destroyed, the soldiers are tired, the casualties are heavy, the horizontal knives are curled, the arrows are about to be exhausted, and the enemy army is like a wolf and a tiger, attacking from all sides, going forward and one after another, you tell the general, what should I take to defend this city? What shall I take to hold on for three more days, five days, ten days, and a month? Did you see it clearly, Zhao Hongyin? If you don't work hard today, how will Ben fulfill the instructions of the handsome? You come and tell me! ”
Zhao Hongyin was stunned by Meng Ping's rare roar, and was speechless.
"Hold your place, General Zhao, this is a military order!" Let go of Zhao Hongyin, Meng Ping said in a deep voice.
"Yes" Zhao Hongyin lowered his head, his eyes red.
Meng Ping paused, and before walking down the city wall, he said in a calm tone: "If Ben will die in battle, you will obey the command of General Lin." ”
Zhao Hongyin looked at Meng Ping, who was walking down the road quickly, and could only see a resolute and determined back, he was stunned in place for a moment, suddenly turned around, roared, greeted his own guards, drew his sword and rushed to a group of Xichuan army soldiers who attacked the city not far away.
Why is the Hundred Battles Army so powerful?
In the first rank, the captain took the lead in killing the enemy; In the middle of the capital, all the heads charge ahead; In the first army, the main general takes the lead.
This principle is the same as the difference between "follow me" and "give me up".
Before Meng Ping walked down the city wall, his military order had been conveyed, and he didn't wait long behind the city wall, and a hundred armor soldiers armed with heavy weapons such as giant axes and sledgehammers had been assembled.
In terms of size, Xuanwu City is not as good as Zizhou City, and the Tibetan Soldier Cave cannot meet the needs of hundreds of people to attack at the same time, only this hundred people have to attack from two Tibetan Soldier Caves.
The hundred armorers in front of him were not only wearing cold-forged armor, but also more than one layer, and they were tightly wrapped in iron armor from head to toe, with almost no gaps.
Meng Ping looked at the hundred armor soldiers, the vast majority of them were destined to have no return this time, because once the armor soldiers in the hidden soldier cave attacked, if they could not defeat the enemy army, they would fall into a siege, and because the exit was narrow, they could not be allowed to retreat safely.
"You and the others are all outstanding warriors in the army, and the general has nothing to explain, just one sentence: the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army can die in battle, but the Hundred Battles Army cannot be defeated!" Meng Ping opened his mouth in a deep voice, and asked loudly: "Do you understand?" ”
"I'll understand!" A hundred heavily armored soldiers shouted in unison.
"Good!" Meng Ping bowed, "Target: General Li Renhan!" ”
Hundreds of armor soldiers, divided into two groups, respectively entered two Tibetan caves, Meng Ping led fifty people to go to the side of the urn city.
The dark passage was narrow and cramped, and the humidity was quite heavy, but Meng Ping and the others didn't have the heart to take care of these, and they arrived at the exit one after another.
"Open the door!" Following Meng Ping's order, the two armor soldiers stepped forward and pushed a small female wall in front of them into the reserved passage next to them, and then, the hammers struck each other, chiseling the thin wall in front of them.
The light shone into the Tibetan Soldier Cave in an instant, and the dazzling sunlight shone so that people's eyes shrank, and they could hardly open their eyes. In just a moment, the armor soldiers who climbed the ladder outside the cave, the soldiers who raised their shields under the ladder, the archers who opened their bows, the corpses scattered everywhere, the blood stained with red loess, and the weapons and arrows scattered everywhere, like a huge picture scroll that appeared out of thin air, spread out in front of everyone.
"Kill!" Meng Ping held a double hammer in his hand, kicked away the blocking bricks and stones in front of him, and took the lead in rushing out of the hole.
"Kill!" Behind Meng Ping, the heavily armored soldiers roared like tigers out of the cage and pounced on the enemy in front of them.
"Kill!" At the same time, on the opposite side of Meng Ping's hidden soldier cave, another fifty armor soldiers also rushed out of the cave and came out.
The hundred warriors who suddenly killed were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, catching the Xichuan soldiers who were attacking the city by surprise.
When the sledgehammer in Meng Ping's hand smashed on the head of a Xichuan armorer, the Xichuan armor soldier still had an inexplicable look of surprise in his eyes, and before he could figure out what was going on, his head shattered in the hood, and the brains and flesh burst out with the rupture of the hood, like a blooming orchid.
Beside Meng Ping, his guards held a giant axe and slashed over the shoulder of a Xichuan armor soldier, only to hear a pop, a head flew into the air, leaving only the blood in the neck cavity gushing like a fountain, several feet high.
The closest to the exit of the Tibetan Soldier Cave is a ladder car, and there are dozens of armor soldiers around the ladder car, either raising shields to defend against stones and rolling wood, or are shooting arrows at the head of the city with bows and arrows, covering the comrades who climb the ladders, and when they find the abnormality, they turn their heads to see that Meng Ping has killed several scattered Xichuan armor soldiers in front of them, and is rushing towards them with their heads buried in their heads.
Seeing this group of heavily armored soldiers, the officers and men of the Xichuan Army were stunned and rushed over to resist.
Without waiting for the other party to change formation, Meng Ping took the lead in killing into the enemy group, and the double hammer in his hand danced rapidly, first smashing a hammer into the chest of an enemy soldier, smashing the opponent's entire chest cavity into a depression, the dull sound of the armor and sternum shattering, did not let Meng Ping take a second look, before the Xichuan armor soldier vomited blood and fell down, Meng Ping ignored the horizontal knife in front of him, and the other hammer in his hand swept on the head of the knife-wielding Xichuan armor soldier, and the hammer made the opponent's seven orifices bleed to death.
The heavily armored soldiers beside Meng Ping were all like him, relying on thick iron armor and not avoiding swords, but once the giant axes and sledgehammers in their hands were shot, the Xichuan soldiers would be seriously injured if they did not die.
In an instant, killing and dispersing the enemy army in front of him, there was no Xichuan enemy next to this ladder car, and a heavily armored soldier ran onto the ladder car, picked up the giant axe in his hand, and slashed down with force, cutting off the ladder Qi Gen.
His actions made the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army at the head of the city feel very excited and shouted in unison.
Several sharp arrows flew and hit the armor soldier, causing his burly body to shake, but then he stabilized his body, with a disdainful smile in his eyes, and with a casual slap, he knocked off the arrows that failed to penetrate the armor, went down the ladder, and rejoined the heavy armor battle formation.
This behavior made the comrades who saw him in the city cheer loudly.
Meng Ping saw Li Renhan's general banner, and also saw Li Renhan under the general's banner, he overturned a Xichuan army who rushed in front of him without knowing whether he was alive or dead, stepped on the corpse of the other party, and raised the hammer to lead forward, "Go and get Li Renhan's head!" ”
