Chapter 30: The Battle of Yiyang (Part II)
As the main general, Meng Wu was anxious when he saw that the six thousand Qin troops were trapped in the city. The www.biquge.info of the pen is the plan for the present, only by attacking the city from the front can the Qin army in the city be rescued, and at the same time, a large army can be landed in the city, which also means that Yiyang has been taken.
"Humph! Fighting a tough battle, the Qin army is never afraid! The generals will listen to the order and fight to the death to attack the city! After Meng Wu said this, he also jumped off his horse and led his own personal guards to rush towards the city in person.
The main generals generally do not need to go into battle in person, and their safety is related to the stability of the army's morale and even the success or failure of the battlefield. But at this moment, Meng Wu has already killed the red eye, and he can't take care of it so much, the siege troops are blocked, and the Qin army in the city is deeply trapped.
"General Meng can't be moved lightly, you are the boss, how can you take the risk lightly? It's better to let Ying Ping lead the vanguard of 5,000 to attack the city, and you can command the Chinese army! “
Seeing that Meng Wu was about to rush forward, Win Ping volunteered and was willing to lead the vanguard to attack the city. When Meng Wu heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he despised the Korean army too much, so he fell into an ambush, resulting in this difficult situation. If Ying Ping went to attack the city on his behalf, it would be a little better than if he went up in person. Ying Ping is young and vigorous, and his soldiers are more elite, but after all, Ying Ping is the son of King Qin, King Qin asked Meng Wu to take Ying Ping to exercise, but he didn't say that he would risk his life to exercise, if Ying Ping made any mistakes, even if he captured Yiyang and destroyed South Korea, King Qin would not be able to explain it. As a veteran of the imperial court, Meng Wu's basic political laws are still clear.
"The old man hasn't been in battle for a long time, so don't fight with me, I'll go forward, you stay in the Chinese army and command the overall situation!"
"General Meng's move is inappropriate, please think twice!" At this critical moment, he couldn't care so much, and Yingping, as a deputy general, directly pointed out that Meng Wu was inappropriate.
"Don't say more, this is a military order!" Meng Wu's words were categorical, and his big dark face was about to drip water.
As the saying goes, a veteran is out of the horse, a top two. On the battlefield, the determination and perseverance of the commander are sometimes worth thousands of troops. Seeing that the banner of the main general was like overcoming thorns and thorns, and went straight to the front line, the Qin army knew that Meng Wu had personally gone out. Suddenly, the Qin army's slightly delayed offensive suddenly tightened again, and the dense cloud ladders re-erected the city wall, and countless Qin troops were agile and quickly advanced towards the root of the city wall.
Ying Ping still led his 5,000 iron cavalry, standing at the Chinese army, standing still. It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's that there must be someone in control of the overall situation on this battlefield, and there must be mobile troops to deal with emergencies. The 5,000 Vanguard Iron Cavalry is the sharp knife of the 50,000 Qin army, how can it be easily used.
"Five thousand iron horsemen, take off the bow and arrows you carry with you, listen to my orders, and fire them at the Korean army at the head of the city! Cover the robes and brothers who ascended the city! Ying Ping passed the general's order, and the five thousand iron horsemen said "promise" in unison, and the sound shook the field.
Although the Qin army's iron cavalry was not a pure archer unit, as cavalry, each of them was equipped with a hard bow and carried thirty feathered arrows. Shoot enemies at long range, and attack with spears at close range. At this time, the siege of the city was not down, the casualties of the Qin army were increasing rapidly, and if the Korean army did not shoot the crossbow machine and the rolling stones issued at the head of the city, it was difficult for the siege force to reach the top even if it was the last man.
These 5,000 people are all elites of the Qin army, with very strong arm strength, and they shoot an arrow with all their strength, although the range is not as good as that of a crossbow, but the launch speed is much faster than that of a crossbow. Crossbow machines need to be loaded, and large crossbow machines even require several people to operate. At this time, Ying Ping gave an order, and 5,000 iron horsemen quickly drove to the city wall, narrowing the distance between them and the Han army at the head of the city. The Han army was fighting the besieging Qin army with all its might, and they didn't notice these uninvited guests at all. Before he could react, he only heard the sound of "whooshing" bows and arrows breaking through the air, and five thousand feathered arrows came from the bottom to the top, most of them hit the Korean army operating the crossbow machine, and the Korean army was either killed or injured in the arrow. The besieging Qin army saw that the crossbow machine offensive of the Korean army was slowing down, and without this weapon of mass destruction, they immediately fought bravely to be the first, even if the wood and rolling stones were fierce, they could not resist the wolf-like Qin army for a while. Several sturdy soldiers of the Qin army had already taken the lead in ascending the city and started a white-knuckle battle with the Han army defending the city.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Qin army was still inferior just now, but now it has a tendency to reverse. The Han army defending the city was overwhelmed, but the matter was far from being as simple as it seemed, the Korean army was just suddenly attacked by the bow and arrow of the iron cavalry under the city, this is a tactical victory, not a strategic victory, how could the Yiyang defense battle carefully prepared by the Korean army be so vulnerable.
Hearing only a cannon sound, the Korean army defending the city didn't know where it came from, and many more appeared, some people directly operated the crossbow machine, and the other part of the people held shields to cover the Korean army operating the crossbow machine. Looking at the posture, it is obvious that the reserves of the South Korean army have been put into the battlefield. The reserves, until the last resort, will not move lightly, and now that Yiyang City is in crisis, the reserves will not let go, and when will they wait. It can be seen that the defenders of the South Korean army in Yiyang have a good grasp of the fighters. Qin Jun met an opponent this time.
As soon as the new crossbowman took the position, he immediately aimed at the five thousand iron horsemen who were sneaking up on them under the city, and shot over with a "whoosh". Although the 5,000 iron cavalry that won the draw is fierce, the bow and arrow are not as good as the crossbow machine, not to mention that people are still condescending, this kind of duel that is not in a heavyweight class, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
Ying Ping saw it really in the Chinese army, and with an order, five thousand iron horsemen came back like a whirlwind. Winning a draw is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and if you see that you are not defeated, you don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices, and don't try to make good plans is fundamental. As soon as the Qin army's iron cavalry moved, the crossbow machine of the Korean army was basically empty. The crossbow machine can hit a fixed target, but it is obviously not good at fighting this kind of high-speed moving cavalry. However, this round of crossbow salvo has already driven away the annoying five thousand sneak attackers, and the purpose has been achieved, and the next step is to free up his hands to deal with the besieging Qin army that is crawling forward.
At this time, Meng Wu had already transformed into a high-ranking infantry of the Qin army, and I saw him either walking or stopping, or using cover to avoid the rain of arrows, or taking advantage of the situation to rush for a while, as if he was a well-trained elite siege infantry. Ying Ping praised in the Chinese army: The old general is old and spicy, and he has not reduced the year.
The South Korean army at the head of the city is not blindly fighting, they are also observing the battlefield situation at any time. Seeing that a small group of Qin troops was marching very fast, especially a veteran in the lead, under the banner of the commander, he turned and moved, and he actually regarded this dense rain of arrows as nothing, which shows the high tactical quality of this person. The group of people around the veteran are also athletic and tightly protect the veterans.
"Isn't this veteran Meng Wu, I didn't expect him to come in person, and he can be regarded as a man! But he can't be too arrogant, the archers are ready to shoot Meng Wu! Han Biao, the main general of the Han army, said sharply. This Han Biao is Han Hu's brother, and Han Hu is the general who fought against Ying Ping in the court last time. The two brothers are the pillars of the Korean army, one guards Yiyang and the other guards Xinzheng. The difference is that Han Biao is more strategic than his younger brother, and the Qin army came from afar to attack Yiyang this time, and he had already planned it properly, laying out an empty city plan, so that the Qin army would fall into the quagmire and suffer a big loss. It can be seen that the six countries of Shandong are not unpopular.
Hearing the words of the city guard, there were already pro-guards below. Just listen to the sound of "whoosh" breaking the sky, dozens of feather arrows came violently to break through the air, Meng Wu secretly screamed that it was not good, the tree was a big wind, not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves, if the enemy aimed at you hard, even if it was Da Luo Jinxian, I am afraid that it would not be comfortable, and when it was not allowed to be released, it rolled and flashed to the side, Rao is like this, the knife and gun have no eyes, and the back is exposed when rolling, and an arrow is also hit on the back, even if he is wearing armor, the arrow is also broken into the armor and goes deep into the flesh. Although it didn't hurt the internal organs, this time, it was already a serious injury.
The main general was injured, this is a taboo on the battlefield, and Yingping flew over more than a dozen iron horsemen early in the morning, and quickly rescued Mengwu. Ying Ping's brows were furrowed, Meng Wu was injured, the siege troops could not enter the city, and the 10,000 people who entered the city were never able to expand their formation, and they didn't know how many casualties they had.
"Mingjin retreats!" At this time, the main general is injured and unconscious, and winning the draw is the supreme commander. At the sound of an order, the Qin army retreated like a tide.
