Chapter 615: Breaking into the Battlefield
"General, the situation is a little bad, if we go on like this, I'm afraid that the city will be lost, can we withdraw our troops?" On the city wall, Weng Ming, the general of the Shence Army, whispered beside Xu Yandong.
Xu Yandong was silent, he didn't blame Weng Ming, not that he accepted Weng Ming's intention to desert the army. Weng Ming didn't say that because he couldn't hold it, he would abandon the city and retreat to the east. Just because this is a means of preparation that has been made before the war, because there are 50,000 people defending the city, and there are 80,000 soldiers and 30,000 young and strong people in Yongzhou who are attacking the city. Although theoretically speaking, young and strong people should not be counted in the sequence of siege soldiers, nor should they go to siege cities. However, half of these 30,000 people were the surrendered troops accepted by Situ Lei's army after conquering Shu. Moreover, it is still the kind of cronies who do a lot of evil and Zhang Yan, the king of Shu. Therefore, it became siege cannon fodder.
"Xiaoguo Army...... Are you playing tricks on us? Or do you want us to fail? You have been restrained by Situ Lei with the Northern Zhuhu, you shouldn't join forces with them, plus you have an agreement with my king, you shouldn't be ......like this," Xu Yandong clenched his fists and thought secretly in his heart.
"Boom, boom......, boom, boom" Just as Xu Yandong was about to make a decision, a sound like a flood came from the north side of the battlefield, but it became louder and louder.
Xu Yandong's eyes lit up, his clenched fists suddenly relaxed, and he said loudly: "Our reinforcements are here, let the soldiers hold on." Let the only cavalry we have prepare, and we will kill them in a moment! ”
"Reinforcements? Have it? General Weng Ming was taken aback. However, at this time, he no longer had the heart to pay attention to the answer of whether there were reinforcements, because the cavalry from the north had already appeared on the flank of King Yong's army.
When the cavalry appeared in the north and was close to five miles away, the spies swimming around got the news. But Zhong Wendao didn't know what was going on at all, the city they were attacking now was still in their own territory, although it was close to Yuzhou, but after all, it was still in Yongzhou. But this city, which was blocked between two mountains that stretched for dozens of miles, blocked the road to the east of King Yong's army. Therefore, Zhong Wendao led a large army to attack. But he never imagined that there would be enemy troops in the territory on his northern side. But he was a little stunned and understood that the enemy army that appeared on the north side really had no one else except for the Xiaoguo army in the south of Jizhou. What puzzled him was that although the Xiaoguo army was active in the intersection of Jizhou and Yongzhou, they did not really move, especially after the riots of the Youbei Ya tribes, they were even less active. Here, in the northeastern cities of Yongzhou, there are their own armies guarding them. How could it be possible for the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army to appear on his side for nearly a hundred miles?
It is precisely because of the northern line of the defensive line, coupled with the fact that they are attacking their own cities occupied by the enemy army in the territory, so they are too far away from the horses and inside. But because of this, I knew that the northern cavalry was not discovered until it was close. The land of five miles, for the infantry army, is indeed a distance, but for the cavalry, it is instantaneous.
The reason why I found out when I arrived at Wuli was that in addition to the unpreparedness of the Yongwang army, what was more important was that this battlefield attack was fierce. On the battlefield, there were death shouts, and the sound of drums and trumpets continued. Therefore, the sound of the horse's horse's hooves, which were wrapped in cloth and deliberately suppressed their speed, was ignored. It wasn't until after the cavalry had charged that they found out.
King Yong's army was in the middle of the battle, and Zhong Wendao, who was excitedly thinking about breaking through the city and entering the city, was cold in his heart for a moment, almost freezing his blood.
"Xiaoguo Army! How so? Not only Zhong Wendao, but also the soldiers of the warring sides also saw the flaming Qilin Banner roaring from the north and more than 15,000 cavalry with fiery red helmets. And these are all unique marks of the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo army is still red, and it has always been mainly red.
"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, kill me! Drive them out of town! While the two sides were stunned, the generals, captains, lieutenants and other officers on the city wall were shouting loudly.
"Kill!" Hearing what the officer said, the morale of the Qi soldiers in the city was suddenly greatly boosted, and under the stunned and incomprehensible of the Yongwang army, the city wall was quickly swept away by the Qi army and reoccupied the city wall.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! The front army retreated, and the Chinese army was deployed on the northern front, and if you don't want to die, act immediately! Damn it! How so? Are the guards of the dozen or so cities in the north blind? How could more than 10,000 cavalry be allowed to enter the territory. Zhong Wendao almost vomited blood and roared. If the guards of a dozen cities on the northern line were in front of him, he would definitely make these lives worse than death. Now, not to mention that there are more than 15,000 cavalry, even more than 15,000 infantry troops are fighting from the flank, which is already difficult for him to deal with. Although he still has more than 50,000 men in his hands, don't forget that they are a tired army after a hard day's battle.
......The cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, who rushed to kill, suddenly remembered the sound of the horn, and rushed to the flank of the Yongwang Army with a solemn aura.
After getting Zhong Wendao's military order, the sergeant of King Yong quickly began to make adjustments. Originally facing the front, ready to rush into the army formation after the front army opened the city gate, and immediately began to turn around and retreat, and those soldiers who were scattered into more than 100 square positions also hurriedly began to reassemble and began to form a huge rectangular formation, preparing to guard the north of the army formation.
I have to say that this operation of the Yongwang Army also mobilized elite soldiers, not to mention the heavy infantry, even these pikemen, sword and shield soldiers are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the soldiers who were behind the center and on the north side began to move in an orderly and orderly manner. In the sound of incessant footsteps, 7,000 elite spearmen and 3,000 elite longbowmen had already crossed the line and surged forward. In vain, he tried to intercept the Xiaoguo army and directly rushed to kill the army in the middle of the formation, so as to delay the mobilization of the army.
With a loud bang, the seven thousand elite spearmen paused, then put the spears in their hands behind them, and then gently pressed down the sharp tip of the spear, forming a sharp angle with the ground.
"Archers, spread out!" Zhong Wendao continued to order with a dark face. At this moment, what he needs is to use these 10,000 soldiers to leave time for the rest of the soldiers to prepare.
"Give the order to advance, withdraw the troops, immediately deploy in the Chinese army, don't attack the city! Get out of the range of the enemy forces defending the city! Zhong Wendao roared with hatred. The heralds around him immediately waved their flags and passed Zhong Wendao's military orders to the front. Soon, the Yongwang army, which was attacking the city, began to retreat, I have to say that the speed of withdrawal was faster than the attack, could it be because the retreat could save his life?
In the midst of the officer's terrible roar, three thousand elite archers quickly spread out to the two wings, and the pikemen formed a linear scattering array next to each other, staring at the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army with cold and somewhat panicked eyes. Rao is these soldiers are all elite, but after all, they are pikemen in front of them, not heavy armor soldiers and sword and shield soldiers, in the face of such a situation, how can they be calm? Among these archers, the longbows have been fully drawn, and the sharp wolf's tooth arrows have been stored on the strings, perhaps the arrows in their hands can calm their nervous hearts a little......
In the cavalry formation of the Xiaoguo Army, Zhao Xiong, the general of the Zhen Army, looked coldly at the Iron Forest in front of him and sneered, just because they also want to stop us?
"Cavalry, bow and arrow ready, throw, don't go straight to the enemy's formation! Watch out for enemy arrows! ”
"The cavalry of the tenth town, following the cavalry of the Spirit, throw their guns and prepare to break the formation!" Zhao Xiong ordered coldly, it cost such a big price to come, and if you don't cripple these Yongwang troops, how can you do it! Since the establishment of the town army, after the tenth government army of the former Xiaoguo army, the tenth government army they formed at the end of the year has rarely been on the battlefield, so at this moment, although there is only one cavalry in the tenth town army, he also has to use this battle to prove the bravery and combat power of the soldiers under his command. Of course, I also have to sue the Yongwang Army in Yongzhou and the Xiaoguo Army in southern Hebei that they are not easy to mess with. If you use the aliens of the north to weaken us, you will have to pay the price.
…………
After giving the military order, looking at the subordinates who were hurriedly adjusting the departments, Zhong Wendao's eyes were cold, as cold as the wind in the cold winter wax moon, in the corner where no one was paying attention, the right hand that was holding the long sword in his hand was clenched unconsciously hard, and the powerful big hand had already begun to turn white due to blood loss! The hilt of the sword in his hand began to creak even more because of his force. But at this moment, his heart was no longer here, but on the northern front of the flank of the army.
Fifteen thousand cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, how did they end up here? Why did you join forces with the Qi Wang Army? If it were a coincidence, he Zhong Wendao would never believe it. But if the Xiaoguo army also participates in the war, then this is how big and unpredictable the consequences are for the forces of King Yong. Such a situation caught him off guard!
In the cavalry formation of the Xiaoguo Army, whether it is the cavalry of the Yan Dynasty or the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, at this moment, the hearts of the soldiers are full of courage and pride, and they are full of the will to defeat the enemy. The cavalry began to slowly put down the horizontal knife in his hand, picked up the longbow he carried, and drew the arrow from the quiver on the side of the horse. And the cavalry of the town army also drew their spears and round shields from the side of the horse, making final preparations.
More's horse galloped at the front, the horse had begun to sprint at full speed, the ground under his feet was like a tide retreating, the suffocating heat was churning in Moreau's body, and the feeling was like the blood all over his body was boiling with fire oil, and the inexplicable tyranny rolled and stirred in his chest. The war horse galloped like a fly, and Moreau's eyes gradually turned red, as red as blood.
Although he is a native of the Lord, as early as two years ago, he changed his household registration and changed his name to Moreau. And he was also promoted from a small soldier to a team leader because of his service with Xiaoguo Army and Zhao Xun. He was satisfied with this, and his family had money to spare, a wife and children, and a land. Even if he were killed, his wife and children would have enough money and land to feed the family with the money and land that they had received from him as a result of his booty. Not to mention the proper placement of the Xiaoguo Army against the dead soldiers now.
Therefore, he has always been very grateful to the Xiaoguo Army in his heart, and he has always been brave in killing enemies on the battlefield. Not only him, but also the cavalry. Although the name of the cavalry is called the Cavalry of the Spirit, they all consider themselves to be a member of the Xiaoguo Army and a member of the Han people. Of course, the Xiaoguo Army did not discriminate against them, and their treatment was the same as that of the Xiaoguo Army's cavalry eight. It is also because of this that these Tatar cavalry were officially integrated into the Xiaoguo Army.
Now, fighting against the Yongwang Army is naturally also the time to earn credit and loot, how can it not be excited?
Huo Ran looked back, the horse's head was moving, the hooves were like thunder, and the countless brothers in the robe behind him were all flying like horses, tightly in the military formation. Many of the soldiers were like him, panting with excitement, their eyes red. It looked like a wolf that saw a rabbit. He opened his bloody mouth and bared his fangs, swooping down on his prey with a roar......
…………
On the city wall, Xu Yandong was also holding the wall with white fingers at the moment. He knew something about the Xiaoguo Army, but it was all a legend. I only know that the Xiaoguo Army is very powerful, guards military discipline, and is very good to the people. I also know that the Xiaoguo army conquered the Yatar people and annexed the Khitan Eight Tribes, but after all, that was only heard, not seen with my own eyes. But now, he has seen the appearance of the Xiaoguo Army with his own eyes. At this moment, he knew that the powerful legend of the Xiaoguo Army was not unreasonable. Most of the cavalry were Warriors, and he could see a little.
