Chapter 30: The Failure of Internal Response
Hundreds of cavalry charged from a distance of less than a few hundred zhang, although the food and salary of the Changsheng army was insufficient, but this group of elite cavalry of hundreds of people did not suffer a little grievance under Guo Yaoshi, the supply was the best, the food was in short supply but it was also issued on time, bows, horses, knives, armor and helmets, all of which were the best configuration in the Shenwu Winning Army, who made this the most precious descendant of Guo Yaoshi, and also the most capable combat power. The pen is www.biquge.info a strong guarantee for him to sit firmly in the capital of the victorious army.
Like a huge wave, it rushed towards the large field of guns under the city, fearless and wantonly charged. Crossing the high rejection horse, waving the long lance steel knife in his hand, and slashing towards the camp of the Song army, the courage of the men in the north can be seen. Behind the horse-rejecting formation, which was more than one person high, was a group of spearmen wearing Song Army Fan Yang hats, and under the leadership of various veterans, they maintained this formation like a solid rock.
At this time, Lin Chong held the big gun on his horse and shouted: "The gun is flat!" ”
"Wow!" The spearmen in the first row raised their spears horizontally, and although they raised their guns against the enemy, many of the recruits trembled involuntarily, and some even looked back and looked back.
"Kill!!"
"Boom!!" The huge wave finally hit the rock, and more than a dozen knights of the victorious army roared past the rejected horses and rushed into the gun array, knocking the Song soldiers who were blocking in front of them into a distance of seven or eight meters. And several spearmen's long ash spears were also deeply inserted into the bodies of the horses and horsemen, and the men and horses fell to the ground almost at the same time. And more spear battalion soldiers were knocked away by the military horses, and in just an instant, they knocked a big gap in the camp of spearmen who were waiting for the battle.
"Steady, steady! The Retreater, Slash! Lin Chong shouted on his horse. More than a dozen soldiers abandoned their guns for fear and ran directly towards the city gate behind them. Before he reached the city gate, he was directly hacked to death by a silent general with a group of soldiers armed with knives. But it's Zhang Xian. Coming with the Warlords.
On the city wall, Liu Ping watched the cavalry charging under the city. Without a trace of expression on his face, Na Ke next to him leaned forward and said, "General, the spearmen of the infantry battalion are newly trained troops after all, and I am afraid it is not cost-effective to suffer such a heavy blow." It is better to retreat into the city, and the fortified city will not come out, and it will be stable. ”
"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's not that I don't know that this can reduce casualties, but this group of recruits* has never fought at all, and this is just a Shenwu Changsheng army, if the Jin Tartars, who claim to be Jurchen and invincible, come and how should they come out, are they still nesting in the city, not daring to go out of the city to meet the enemy? I did this to let this group of recruits see the blood, and let them know that being a soldier and eating food is not just a good thing to train bare-chested, and to have enough steamed bread and broth every day, Lao Tzu wants soldiers who dare to fight and dare to fight, not soldiers who only know how to defend the city. Liu Ping clung to the green bricks on the city wall, and the green tendons on his hands were bursting out.
"My subordinates know." Nake didn't say anything more, just stayed by Liu Ping's side. Nake is still wearing a brocade robe, and he is still holding a feather fan that is about to be bald, but it has a bit of a feather fan scarf, but it is not pleasing to the eye with his obscene expression.
"Anyway, it's almost, let's attack the city, or that's all our cavalry treasures. The gun array has been reopened, and the rest is left to the subordinates. Zhen Wuchen said to Pharmacist Guo beside him.
"Well, tell the infantry commander, attack! Give me the Cangzhou Mansion. Guo Yaoshi pulled out the long sword in his waist and pointed it at the already dilapidated gate of Cangzhou City. Zhen Wuchen led more than 1,000 foot soldiers and followed the bloody road of the cavalry in front of him and also killed the Song army's gun camp.
Lin Chong took a big gun to protect the wounded soldiers around him, and constantly organized people to contain Guo Yaoshi's department. In the face of Guo Yaoshi's Chang Shengjun, nearly 2,000 people and horses were attacked. A large spear was swung like a long dragon, and the enemy soldiers on it were either killed or wounded. It's just that it took less than a stick of incense to stick on. Pharmacist Guo put most of the elites who attacked Cangzhou this time. With a fierce face, it seems that he has returned to more than ten years ago, and he has led countless northern Han'er and Liaodong to fight various cities. Looking at the battle in front of him, the fire in his chest could not be extinguished.
The long knife in Zhen Liuchen's hand at this time was stained with blood and attacked the battle formation of the Song army, slashed and killed six or seven Song soldiers, facing Lin Chong, the spear choked on the steel knife, the gold and iron intersected, stirring up a ball of sparks, the two of them were just a few faces, Zhen Liuchen was swept off the horse by Lin Chong's big gun, poofed into the heart, and fell to the ground. When Zhen Wuchen saw that Zhen Liuchen was assassinated under the horse, his eyes were red, and he rushed towards Lin Chong with a shout. The two were strangled together.
Seeing that a general was killed, Guo Yaoshi felt a pain in his heart, and the soldiers around him tried to attack. At this time, the Song army was constantly besieged. Liu Ping in the city shouted at the people around him: "Let Niu Gao lead people to kill!"
Hundreds of knives poured out of the city gates. Niu Gao was wearing heavy armor, holding a pair of long hammers in his hands, and shouted and led a group of Song troops into the battle array.
Blood, stump arms, shouting. The entire battlefield was like an Asura hell at this time. Life falls like mowing grass.
"The general raises the red flag, recruit Brother Yue to come, I'm afraid the brothers below will not be able to withstand it." Wang Gui, who was beside Liu Ping, begged with bare eyes.
"Wait!!" Liu Ping said word by word.
Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran up to the city tower and reported to Liu Ping: "General, Zhang Yu in the city took a group of slave thugs, two or three hundred people, covering up and killing, wanting to break through the gate of the inner city!" Captain Zhang Jun is leading people to block in the city. ”
"Dog offal, you really dare to make trouble." Liu Ping frowned, he really didn't expect that this local wealth advocate Yu would have the courage to make a mess in his nest.
"Let's go! Check it out. Liu Ping rushed to the inner city with dozens of veterans.
On the edge of the inner city gate, Zhang Yu was holding a big knife and rushing towards the city gate with more than 200 strong slaves from his own house. Zhang Yu just slashed to death an unsuspecting Song Junzheng. Ji Ji laughed and said: "You group of thieves with an army, hurry up and open the city gate for Lao Tzu, and when Guo Duguan enters the city, grandpa will save you from death." Otherwise, let you all accompany Liu Ping's thief and bird to accompany the funeral! ”
"Changyu, you are so daring, you dare to collude with foreign thieves. If you want to open the city gate, first ask if the knife in someone's hand agrees! A young lieutenant with a dozen soldiers stopped in front of Zhang Yu. It was Zhang Jun.
"Okay, you Zhang Jun, when your uncle was here, I was also a friend who called your uncle a brother and brother, I can't write a single word, Lao Tzu reads your uncle Zhang Wei's old feelings, see that you are a junior, I won't kill you today, surrender quickly, lest Lao Tzu's knife be stained with the blood of the old man." Zhang Yu said viciously at Zhang Jun with a meaty face.
"Phew! Dog thief, my uncle sacrificed his life for righteousness, how can there be a scum like you, I am a genuine captain of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I be in the company of pickled people like you, don't be noisy, if you want to open the city gate, step on a certain body first! Zhang Jun said.
"Shame on the face! Cut them down for Lao Tzu! When the city gate is opened, I will reward each of them with ten taels of silver. Zhang Yu said fiercely. Don't look at this Changyu as a rich man, but in this northern land, how can people who can take advantage of Wanguan's furniture be able to succeed without a little fierceness. At that moment, he rushed over with the people in his hands.
Zhang Jun and the others are also soldiers who have been in the battle array, but more than a dozen people are surrounded by more than 200 people, although they are slashing and killing, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, and many ants can also bite the elephant to death, just a moment of effort, there are four or five old soldiers who were cut and killed. Although dozens of slave thugs were also hacked to death, it was more and more difficult to support. Zhang Yu was only less than 20 zhang away from the city gate at this time, as long as he rushed forward a few more steps and killed Zhang Jun and these defenders, as soon as the gate opened, Liu Ping's life would be over.
A team of soldiers rushed out of this critical oblique stab, and when they encountered Changyu's people, they cut down, and it only took a while to put down more than 100 of Changyu's more than 200 people. But it was Liu Ping who took the pro-army around him and felt that a timely blockade and killing defeated Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu saw that Liu Ping personally led people to slash and kill. As soon as his heart was empty, he hid behind everyone. Liu Ping slashed a slave who rushed forward to death with a knife, turned around and shouted behind him: "Brother Tang Huai, shoot that one in a brocade robe!" ”
"Whoosh! Burst! Zhang Yu hid behind a tall slave and didn't wait for a breath, but he heard a sound from the slave in front of him, and a sharp arrow pierced through the slave's body and plunged straight into his stomach. Zhang Yu, who was in pain, let out a heart-rending wail and fell to the ground.
"Brother Tang, good archery!! Ha ha! Liu Ping laughed.
The people around him were all slashed by the Song army, and Zhang Yu was about to pull out the arrow shaft on his stomach when he saw a tall figure appear in front of him. I only felt that there was a flower in front of me, and I still flew into the air and saw the person's face clearly, it was Liu Ping. Liu Ping saw that Zhang Yu rushed to Zhang Yu with a few arrows, and cut off his head with a knife, a good head brought out a ball of blood, and the cavity without a head fell to the ground with a pop.
"Changyu is dead, and he still hasn't surrendered!" Liu Ping yelled with a knife. Seeing that Liu Ping was dead, the slaves next to them threw their swords one after another, leaving them at the disposal of the Song army.
"Back to the city!" Seeing that Zhang Yu was dead, there were less than a dozen slaves left, kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Killed." Liu Ping looked at the slaves, and after speaking, he led people up the wall.
At this time, the battle situation under the city was still a stalemate, Zhen Liuchen was killed by Lin Chong and the horse, Zhen Wuchen fought with Lin Chong to the death, but Lin Chong's skills were superior, and Zhen Wuchen was stabbed to death several times.
But he was blocked by the loyal guards around him.
Hundreds of victorious soldiers carried improvised ladders to climb the city, but were bombarded by numerous clusters of arrows and boulders of hot oil. The catapults in the city smashed huge stones into Guo Yaoshi's Chinese army. examine
One of the five ministers didn't pay attention, and was stabbed in the arm by Lin Chong. He took off his weapon and ran back to Pharmacist Guo. "I didn't expect Song Jun to fight so hard, but Song Jun is not like this in front of me."
"Press it up! Press it up! I don't believe it, are the flocks of birds led by Liu Ping still waiting to stop me Guo Yaoshi!!! ”
