Chapter 837: Night Attack Continued
Updated: 2013-09-12
The cavalry of the Zhao army gradually approached, feeling the vibration under their feet and the approach of the spear in the hand of the cavalry on the opposite side who was flickering with cold light because of the firelight, and fear spread in the hearts of the Han army infantry like poisonous weeds. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. The heart that was almost broken because of the night attack and gun throwing was even more scared at the moment.
"Boom ......"
Thousands of iron horsemen of the Zhao army swept like a 'tide' water, colliding with the Han army's foot soldiers, like thousands of sharp swords, and in an instant, the Han army's military array was cut into countless small pieces of flesh and blood.
"Poof......
In the crisp sound of sharp weapons cutting through the flesh and bones, a spear pierced the 'chest' cavity of a Han sergeant like piercing a radish, and the spear was still castrated. and successively penetrated the 'chest' cavity of the two Han soldiers. Finally, it penetrated the throat of a short Han soldier, nailed the corpses of the four into a string, and dragged the ground quickly.
"Poof, boom......" The wooden handle of the spear could no longer withstand such heavy damage, and broke in the center.
The cavalry shook his hand and threw the handle of the half of the gun, 'draw' the horizontal knife at his waist, continued to gallop on his horse, and suddenly rushed through the Han army formation, and galloped forward for nearly a hundred steps, the cavalry and his companions slowly reined in the war horse, and turned around, the Han army behind him had been in a big formation, and the cavalry gathered and charged, in the case that the other party did not prepare in advance, the effect was really powerful, and caused great damage to the Han soldiers.
However, the damage on the ** is far less intense and shocking than the damage on the 'spirit'! The cavalry of the Zhao army first broke the enemy's morale with their spears, and then with the invincible posture of the mountains and seas, the Han army lost the last trace of stubborn determination.
If Zhao Xun saw the current situation of the Han army, he would definitely sigh, the people's hearts were scattered, and the team was not easy to lead.
The charge of the cavalry of the Zhao army completely broke the interception hastily organized by the soldiers of the Han army, and they immediately scattered and fled. And Qin Jiang could no longer control the situation in front of him, and watched his 'elite' sharp Han army also become a rout, and wolves rushed all over the mountains......
More than 4,000 'elite' spearmen were almost killed and wounded under the enemy's cavalry and guns, and then the Chinese soldiers who were organized were defeated in a battle in the face of the impact of the Zhao cavalry, Qin Jiang felt a burst of blackness in front of him, it's over, everything is over!
"General, withdraw! If you don't withdraw, it's too late! The general under his command hurriedly persuaded Qin Jiang.
"Withdraw? Can we withdraw? Can you leave the soldiers behind? It's not enough for the front battalion to organize resistance! As long as the soldiers are assembled quickly, we will not be defeated in a single battle. Qin Jiang roared.
How can Qin Jiang be evacuated easily? Although the middle soldiers were defeated, the rear camp was also broken by the Zhao army. However, there were still six or seven thousand soldiers in the front camp, and if he was to evacuate like this, he would be dead. Even if he can escape now, how can he 'deliver' to the king?
"Haha...... The Han army was defeated! Brothers, kill ......"
The cavalry officers of the Zhao army naturally didn't care what the Han army thought, their current goal was only to completely defeat the Han army and completely disperse the Han army camp.
"Kill these Han bastards! Attacking the territory of our Zhao Kingdom, it's time to let them know how powerful our Zhao army is......" Countless Zhao cavalry roared victoriously, waving the horizontal knife in their hands and rushing forward to kill.
In addition to the Zhao cavalry here charging into battle, the other Zhao cavalry on the east and west sides also brandished horizontal knives and slashed left and right. A sharp horizontal knife and a spear reflecting the light of fire were held high in the air, and the dazzling cold light "confused" and "messed" the dark night sky.
Since then, the spear attack has cut through the defense in the hearts of the soldiers of the Han army, and now, the cavalry of the Zhao army is a boning sickle that harvests life! Hell is the Soul Messenger...... Everywhere the cavalry of the Zhao army went, it could be said that there was a massacre, a round of cold-blooded and brutal slaughter.
The cavalry of the Zhao army attacked the Han army camp, and there were few people on their own side, and the other side had barracks. If you want to crush the resistance of the defenders in the shortest possible time, and want to minimize your own losses, the most effective means is to kill the opponent when the enemy is caught off guard, and kill the opponent in fear......
In the front camp of the Han army, because of the great 'chaos' in the rear camp, the Han soldiers in the front battalion also rushed out of the barracks in a panic amid the shouts of the officers, preparing to form a formation to meet the battle.
And just when these Han soldiers were just awakened, outside the front camp, the Zhao army in the Lu clan city had already been killed.
"The camp is good, but unfortunately, people can't!" Looking at the Han army defenders who were running in a panic, Xie An, the defender of the Lu clan, couldn't help but smile coldly. Immediately, he shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" ”
Xie An took the lead, crossed the outer trench, and swung the spear in his hand with rolling force. In the sound of crackling and crackling, the camp 'gate' of the Han army's camp was split by his spear, and one man and one rider crashed into the enemy camp like lightning. The oncoming two Han military cadet officers hurriedly surrounded them, 'intending' to stop the enemy who broke out of the camp, but before they could make a move, the spear in Xie An's hand swept out. The two Han army officers didn't have time to think about it, and in a hurry, they could only raise their guns to block each other.
"Bang! Syllable! In the two shattering sounds, the weapons in the hands of the two Han army officers were destroyed, and the two blood-spurting bodies, like kites with broken strings, flew out screaming and fell heavily to the ground. When he landed, Xie An was already flying over their heads.
When the two seriously wounded Han officers struggled to get up, they found in despair that hundreds of Zhao cavalry followed, and hundreds of cavalry stepped on their bodies and poured into the camp, leaving only pieces of flesh and blood blurred corpses.
Behind the cavalry, there were thousands of soldiers of the Zhao garrison, who also shouted this slogan and rushed straight in.
"Rejoice! Rejoice! It has been many days since I was pressed in the city by the Han army, and today I can finally kill it! "The defenders' partial general, Lin Shao, danced like the wind with a spear, killing very freely.
Think about it for more than a month, since then the army of the king of Hanzhong has gone north, the soldiers of the ninth town have guarded Dongyongzhou alone, and the walls are clear everywhere. The oppression of the Han army and the impatience of the people made them accumulate too much anger. Now, they can finally get vent, they are like tigers out of the cage, and they are naturally murderous.
Xie An is the captain of the Zhao army, and his ability is naturally extraordinary, while arranging for the soldiers to scatter, kill, and capture the Han soldiers in the front camp of the Zhao army, while leading the army straight to the land of the Chinese army, and the cavalry of the tenth town of the Zhao army who came to attack the camp are all converged. After all, the Han army has a lot of soldiers, if they can't suppress their counterattack and can't merge the army together, then maybe the Han army will be able to turn back, and even make their own losses not small.
In the Chinese army, at this moment, Yan Xu's cavalry is also constantly rushing and killing. Yan Xu personally chased after the Han army's main general Qin Jiang, and the other two battalions of cavalry rushed to the east and west to kill, they set fire to the wind, and killed the Han soldiers who resisted, only killing thousands of panicked Han soldiers and soldiers.
"The thief will leave!" Yan Xu closely pursued Qin Jiang, who was riding on a war horse and guarded by hundreds of personal cavalry. I don't know how many heads were stabbed by the spear in his hand, Yan Xu was like the sharpest crossbow arrow, tearing through all obstacles, and in a moment, he had already killed the 'chaotic' army in front of him, and ran to Qin Jiang, who was constantly retreating.
Under the firelight, Yan Xu saw at a glance that the chief general of the Han army, who was designated by the descended soldiers, was hurriedly shouting at the soldiers gathered by other generals and colonels at this moment, asking them to form a formation, and it seemed that they were still trying in vain to redeem this defeat.
"The thief will come and die!" Seeing that Qin Jiang, who was under the protection of his own soldiers, still 'wanted' to organize a 'chaotic' army to resist, Yan Xu's face was cold, his anger rose from his heart, he roared angrily, and slapped his horse and shot at the other party. Qin Jiang, who was ordering the panicked soldiers under his command to prepare to form a formation, was in the mood to meet the generals of the Zhao army. Of course, the previous battle also made him, a general, panic for a while, and at this moment, he also found out that Yan Xu was killing with a gun, and he couldn't help but be frightened and his 'complexion' changed greatly.
"Quick, stop that Zhao army general!" After a pause, he said sharply, "Kill him, we can turn defeat into victory, whoever kills him will be promoted to the third level, and there will be a thousand silver coins." Qin Jiang, who felt a little weak because of drinking, retreated back slightly, and drank to order the left and right guards to protect himself.
Although the generals who acted with Qin Jiang were afraid of Yan Xu and the cavalry of the Zhao army, in order to protect the commander, at this moment, they had to muster up the courage to come forward.
"Bold! Act recklessly! Kill them with me, brethren! Yan Xu roared angrily and said disdainfully. But there was no mercy in his hands, and the spear stabbed left and right, like chopping vegetables and melons, cutting down seven or eight enemy horsemen who rushed up. The rest of the hundreds of people were also overwhelmed by the cavalry of the Zhao army. And those Han soldiers who had just been assembled by the officers, when they saw that their superiors were killed so easily, they dared to continue to fight against the cavalry of the Zhao army, so they naturally scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions.
Qin Jiang saw that he couldn't stop the cavalry of the Zhao army, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul, and even the strength of the wine suddenly cleared. At this moment, where can he still care about the battle, he turned his horse and looked to the north to flee to the rear camp.
"Want to escape? You're the first to act, how can Captain Pontus let you escape? Yan Xu smiled coldly, how could he allow the prey in his hand to escape, not to mention that the other party was the commander of the Han army? So the horses were like lightning, and they chased after them like the wind.
Qin Jiang wanted to ride his horse to meet the battle, but I don't know if it was because of the panic in his heart, his reluctance to fight to the death with General Zhao Jun or because he was drunk and weak, so he finally failed to turn around to meet the battle, but accelerated to flee for his life.
"The thief will still 'want' to flee for his life? Stay! Seeing Qin Jiang running away, Yan Xu shouted violently and chased after him. However, Qin Jiang's personal guards rode horses to meet the battle, desperately resisting Yan Xu's fight.
"Hateful ......" Yan Xu killed several people in a row, but dozens of Qin Jiang's personal guards desperately blocked it, and still let Qin Jiang flee farther and farther.
"Thief, take your life!" Just when Yan Xu was angry with Qin Jiang and fled, Qin Jiang suddenly rode out in front of him and went straight to Qin Jiang. Qin Jiang was shocked, and suddenly shocked, because behind this cavalry general, there were hundreds of cavalry, and they were all killed from the front camp. Could it be that the defenders of Lushi City broke the front camp? Qin Jiang was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly turned the horse's head in a panic, but he suddenly felt that his feet trembled, his body was weak, and the war horse under his crotch still couldn't speed up. The attackers relied on the momentum, and the Pegasus approached, and in a blink of an eye, they had chased behind Qin Jiang.
"Good...... Well done, Xie An, kill him! He is the commander of the Han army! Yan Xu looked like someone was coming, and immediately shouted with joy. The person who came was none other than Xie An, the city lord of the Lu clan who rushed out of the back camp. Because the ninth and tenth towns are both responsible for the defense of Dongyongzhou, they are suspicious, and Yan Xu and Xie An, the two lieutenants, also know each other. Hearing Yan Xu shouting like this, Xie An was overjoyed. was about to poke out the spear, but as a result, the chief general of the Han army was relieved of the hatred of being suppressed and besieged.
However, when his spear was 'wanting' to stab the other party to death, a trace of sobriety suddenly flashed in his mind. This is the commander of the Han army, wouldn't it be better if he captured it. If you can persuade these 'chaotic' troops to surrender and annihilate the 20,000 Han soldiers, more than 10,000 people will be able to carry their burdens soon?
Immediately, the spear poked out, and a shot was fired at the 'legs' of the Qin River. The 'leg' was injured, and Qin Jiang, who was screaming in pain, suddenly slowed down the speed of the mount under his crotch. Xie An took advantage of the situation to chase after him, and without waiting for Qin Jiang to react, the ape arm reached out, grabbed Qin Jiang's shoulder, and dragged him off the horse. Qin Jiang, who fell off the horse, still wanted to get up, but then he felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and a cold and piercing thing was pressed against his neck.
"General Qin Jiang, now that you have become our prisoner, if you are a smart person, you should no longer act rashly." Xie An said with a light smile. Then he signaled his corporal to capture Qin Jiang, and the rest of the cavalry continued to besiege and kill Qin Jiang's personal guards.
Because the situation was out of control, Qin Jiang let Sergeant Zhao capture him, but for Xie An's words, Qin Jiang could only stare at the other party hatefully to vent his anger in his heart.
Xie An said in a deep voice: "General Qin, are you willing to surrender?" ”
"Surrender?" Qin Jiang glanced at Xie An coldly, and said coldly, "Let General Ben surrender?" Joke, I am the commander of the Han army, who are you, just a captain of the first army, and you also want this general to surrender? If it weren't for the surprise attack, how could you defeat General Ben? If there is a kind of let go of this general, we will face off the winner. ”
"Hahaha...... Amusing! Xie An sneered, "The general of the defeated army dares to pose in front of the lieutenant of Bendu!" Let's take a look at the facts in front of you, you've failed! If it weren't for my Zhao army's westward march into Xiyongzhou, you would have been able to enter the boundary of our Dongyongzhou? Do you dare to attack the city? After my Zhao army took Dongyongzhou, why didn't you dare to take a step out of Jingbei Nanyang Mansion? It was not just that we took advantage of the lack of strength of our army to come and take advantage of the fire to loot, and even in this way, we failed to break through one city or one place. ”
"It's true that you are a general, and it is true that you are the commander of the road, but you still haven't been able to take the Lu City guarded by Captain Bendu with tens of thousands of troops. So, you're not qualified to put on a score in front of Captain Bento. ”
Qin Jiang was speechless at this moment, no matter what, the defeated were not qualified to have any arrogance towards the victor.
"General Qin, if you escape this time, what will happen to you? Will the king of Hanzhong forgive you? 20,000 troops, 10,000 young and strong people, you fought and the whole army was wiped out. No matter how generous the king of Hanzhong is, I'm afraid he won't forgive you, the coach all the way, right? ”
"What's more, the heart is in our occupation of Xiyongzhou, and the land of Hanzhong has also changed because of the problems of the Shu army. For the king of Hanzhong, every soldier is very important. Now, nearly 30,000 people are gone, and your coach has no way back. ”
Qin Jiang was silent, he knew that what the other party said was right. Even if he escapes at this moment, the king of Hanzhong will not go around him, and even if the king of Hanzhong is willing to forgive him, those generals who are jealous of him as the commander of the road will not let him escape this catastrophe, and they will definitely fall into the well and put him to death.
"Look at your men, look at your guards, would you like to see them all die here? If you are willing to surrender, they will live well. In addition, if General Qin is willing to surrender to my Great Zhao, it is your family and can also live. ”
Qin Jiang ignored Xie An's words, however, he didn't refute either.
Seeing Qin Jiang's performance, Xie An couldn't help but smile secretly, and said, "What you did for the King of Hanzhong has already been done." In terms of siege, you did a better job than the king of Hanzhong. Now that the war is defeated, it is also the reinforcement of my Da Zhao, not that the general's ability is insufficient. Today's defeat has been done, and what the general did for the king of Hanzhong has already arrived. Next, it's time for the general to think about himself, for these soldiers who follow your orders. ”
Qin Jiang looked around, and the battle around him was still continuing. The cavalry of the Zhao army and the defenders in the city of Lu attacked back and forth, which had caused the 20,000 Han troops to fall into a 'chaos' and 'chaos'. The soldiers of the Han army in this battalion are not a rabble in the end, although they were raided, although they were in a disadvantageous situation, there were still many soldiers who were making stubborn resistance. However, the defeat of the Han army was certain and it was powerless.
Especially seeing that his personal guards were still desperately rushing to this side, but one by one they were killed by the cavalry of the Zhao army, Qin Jiang couldn't help but be shocked, and said to Xie An in a deep voice, "I am willing to surrender, I hope the general will stop killing our army." ”
"Good!" Xie An couldn't help laughing, so he shouted loudly: "The commander of the Han army has surrendered, and you will not surrender yet!" ”
This roar Xie An did his best, and the loud voice was like muffled thunder, and it actually suppressed the hustle and bustle around him. The surrounding soldiers of the Zhao army even shouted loudly, so that the soldiers on both sides in the camp heard the prestige. When those Han soldiers saw Qin Jiang throwing away his weapons and standing beside the generals of the Zhao army, they couldn't help but stop the movements in their hands.
After a while, some of the Han soldiers who were shocked and surrendered on the spot, while the remaining soldiers abandoned their armor and fled, where did they dare to resist. Of course, with the presence of the cavalry of the Zhao army, where can they flee to?
The night raid battle, from the beginning to the end, this raid lasted for many and a half hours, and ended with the surrender of the commander of the Han army, the killing of one part of the Han army, and the surrender of one part. This battle was swift and the result was perfect, even Xie An and Yan Xu were surprised, but after this battle, it also meant that the crisis in Dongyongzhou had been solved. Of course, they did not know yet that the king of Hanzhong was already preparing to withdraw his troops.
