I have to say that after a year in the army, Tang Zhen has still made great progress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 More than a thousand cavalry rushed directly into the meeting of the weaker two Mongol cavalry, the cavalry in the middle scattered arrows in both directions, while the cavalry on the periphery drove away the Mongol cavalry with their horse lances.

Their purpose was not to kill the enemy, but to rush in and join the encircled brethren.

The hundreds of Ming cavalry who were surrounded by thousands of Mongolian troops on the left and right looked at the red banner that was suddenly raised not far away, and their bloodstained faces showed a look of surprise, but it was quickly transformed into the joy of surviving after the catastrophe.

Everyone is not afraid of sacrificing for the Ming Dynasty, but they are still excited and even eager to see the reinforcements coming over regardless of life and death. An exhausted Ming cavalryman urged his horses, swords and lances swirled, rampage through the Mongol army.

Although people are constantly falling, the two armies with red flags fluttering are getting closer and closer.

The Mongol cavalry obviously did not expect that this Ming cavalry, which had finally retreated to the barn, would turn their horses and fight back again, and they also relied on the speed advantage of charging from a high place to forcibly tear open the fragile joint. However, as a nation on horseback, the Mongolian cavalry reacted quickly, and the cavalry was not looking for an opponent aimlessly, but under the leadership of the centurion, they attacked the passage opened by the Ming cavalry again and again.

Or release arrows from both sides to interfere, or like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter to kill two Ming cavalry and then retreat, or directly concentrate two or three hundred cavalry to break into the passage, tearing the Ming cavalry's defense line like a boat in a storm to pieces, and then disappearing into the crowd before Tang Zhen led the team to support, so that the cavalry of the rear brigade who was waiting for the battle was met.

"Quick, get out!" Tang Zhen roared loudly, half of his body was already dyed blood red, forming a thin layer of ice in the cold wind.

The Mongol cavalry had come to their senses and were closing in step by step.

Tang Zhen knew that he was able to open the situation, mainly because he killed the Mongols by surprise, and when the Mongols came to their senses, four or five thousand people were attacked, and his less than two thousand people were not enough for others to eat and wipe clean. So time, or to buy time!

A cavalryman was hit by the saber in the waist, blood gushed out, hurriedly pressed the wound, the horse couldn't help slowing down, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the leading ten generals glanced at the injured son of his own son, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Leave him alone, go, go quickly!" ”

Several soldiers were in a daze, and the injured soldier also quickly pushed away his companions who approached: "You all go, I can kill it, leave me alone." ”

The Mongolian cavalry also found the Ming army blocking here, and they rushed forward one after another, and people continued to fall. The wounded soldier in the waist roared, and the horse lance in his hand was thrown out, piercing the chests of two Mongolians in a row, and the Mongolian cavalry who killed around them were also frightened, and they strangled their horses, but when they came back to their senses, they found that it was only a wounded Ming soldier who did it.

And taking advantage of this rare gap, the remaining Ming cavalry had already shouted and killed.

The ten generals who had just ordered were quickly urging the war horses while subconsciously looking back. Layers upon layers of Mongol cavalry had been slaughtered, and even a solid rock would have been shaken in the waves, let alone a lone wounded soldier.

All that awaits him is broken bones.

I don't know if I don't think it, the eyes of the ten generals are already moist.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad. He was the one who gave the order to leave the wounded soldier behind, because he knew that if he slowed down for the sake of one person, then the death that awaited more than a dozen people around him would be death. If he wanted to stay and die with the Mongol Tartars as the soldiers around him intended, then perhaps his name would be engraved on the stone tablet of Zhongshan and become a qualified martyr.

But it will definitely not be a qualified ten.

Now the enemy is strong and I am weak, as a general, his main task is to ensure that everyone survives!

"Crossbowman, let's go!" Tang Zhen pointed at the saber in his hand, and the arrows roared out from his left and right, knocking over more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry in front of him.

Once again, the barbarian revealed its figure, the reckless sky covered with snow, and the red banner held by the cavalry left behind on the barhara danced in the wind, still standing proudly.

"Send a signal, everyone retreat to the barlands!" Tang Zhen shouted loudly.

Bayuan, we have to pull people to Bayuan, attack and retreat, at least at ・・・・・・least we can withdraw some people through the Baqiao at the last moment.

The Ming Dynasty issued military regulations and training rules to the generals above the ten generals, although it is just a small thin book, the words are very small, and the paper is not good, but it is a symbol of the status of the Ming generals, especially the generals at the box level, this manual is different from ordinary people, because the generals above the box level are not easy to be killed and captured, so there are more requirements for the combat of the large corps in their manuals.

Tang Zhen remembered very well that the last sentence on the last page of the manual above the first level was clearly like this.

"Leave the seeds to build the army".

It is said that this sentence was hastily added by His Royal Highness King Ming before it was finally issued, so it is very different from the previous regulations that seemed to be crepe, and because the simplicity of this sentence is even more in line with the style of the military, most of the generals keep this sentence in mind.

For the Ming Dynasty, what is needed is that the grassroots soldiers can fight hard, even if the whole army is annihilated and the enemy dies together, but at the level of the box, the requirements are just the opposite, the commander of the box and the capital must grasp the strength of the war, once faced with the danger of the annihilation of the whole army, it is necessary to think of sending a part of the old soldiers to break through and kill, so as to lay the foundation for the reconstruction of this army.

The importance of a team of veterans Ye Yingwu is very clear, maybe only a hundred veterans can make tens of thousands of recruits change from the lamb that bleated at the beginning to a howling wolf, because only by letting them feel the murderous aura of the pawns who have seen blood and killed people can they mature faster, be familiar with the battlefield, and be familiar with how to follow the red dragon banner forward.

It's just that Tang Zhen thought that he would never have the possibility of turning this sentence into reality, and the Shence Army was invincible in the north and south, and he had not yet faced the danger of annihilation of the entire army.

I didn't expect it to become a reality today.

Cavalry is the most precious type of army in the Ming army, and it is also the only type of army that can compete with the number of Mongolians, so Tang Zhen can't watch the only 5,000 cavalry annihilated, he must leave the seeds to reorganize the cavalry.

Because the attention of the Mongols has always been on Tang Zhen's cavalry, the cavalry of the Ming army that walked from the north of Lintong only staggered with the oncoming Mongolian thousand people and then retreated from each other, like lions and cheetahs in the arena, constantly circling around the field, looking at each other vigilantly, but did not make rash moves.

Now seeing the signal fireworks rising, the commander of the team leader finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Advance, tear through the defenses of the Mongolian Tartars, and rush to the barland!" ”

More than 2,000 cavalry of the Ming army frantically urged the war horses at the same time. The Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side also reacted quickly, the war horses neighed, the sabers were bright, and they rushed straight towards the Ming army, although their number was small, but it did not mean that they were afraid to charge immediately.

When it comes to cavalry combat, the Mongols claim to be the second in the world, and no one dares to call them the first.

The two teams of cavalry collided with each other, and the men flipped on their backs. The horse lance and the saber collided violently in the cold wind, the two teams that had been eyeing each other for a long time had already erupted with all their might at this moment, the horse lance penetrated the chest, the saber cut the chest and abdomen, the blood gushed out, and the war horse screamed, but no one cried dad and called mother, whether they were injured or not, all the soldiers were tense and moved forward with all their might, just to be able to kill one more enemy before disengagement.

――――――――――――――――――――――-

"There's already a fight on the plain?" Wang Jin walked quickly up to the city wall, surrounded by a group of commanders and Du Yuhou, and he didn't even have time to nod to the soldiers who saluted around him as usual.

Standing on the top of the city and looking into the distance, you can see the smoke and dust billowing up on the plains in the distance. Baqiao is not far from the east gate, and those who stand on the city gate have better eyesight and can even see the black dots moving back and forth. Although the wind blew away the sound, it was conceivable that the war was raging.

"Smoke and dust from the explosion of thistles." Wang Jin raised his eyebrows, "When the cavalry moves, the fire tribulus terrestris is not very useful, forcing Han Xiao (Tang Zhen's table) to use fire tribulus terrestris, which shows that our people are at a disadvantage." What does the news from the Sentinels say? ”

The commander standing on one side hurriedly replied: "The Mongol Tatars set up an ambush in the Lishan Mountain, and our cavalry outflanked the two thousand troops on the Bayuan in two ways, but the main force of the Mongolian Tatar cavalry stopped and killed, resulting in heavy injuries to the brothers. ”

"Han Xiao was actually calculated." Wang Jin's voice was full of surprise, Huo Ran turned around, "Quick, give an order immediately, the Chinese army will leave the city immediately, and try to respond while guarding the south bank of the Baqiao!" ”

At this moment, a soldier ran up to the city in a panic, saw Wang Jin, and hurriedly said: "Commander, the Mongol Tartars who have been stationed under the city have begun to attack the city!" ”

"What?!" Wang Jin was stunned.

Although the main force of the Mongolian army of 70,000 or 80,000 people has arrived under the city for two or three days, it has been building all kinds of siege equipment, after all, large equipment such as return artillery was destroyed by artillery in Chengdu Mansion with a devastating momentum, and the rest was also burned clean because there was no way to pass through the narrow and steep Shu Road, so Mongolia wanted to attack the city, and had to prepare again.

Because Jingzhaofu was originally the former capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the city was huge, the cavalry of the Shence Army was sent out, and there was a carriage in Tongguan and Puban to rush to guard the back road, so the troops scattered everywhere were actually overstretched, and Wang Jin had no way to go out of the city to attack, so he could only defend it behind closed doors, watching the Mongols build camps and manufacture equipment on the periphery of the city.

It's just that the Mongols have not moved, and Wang Jin can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he is reinforcing the city defenses, maybe the Mongol Tartars are still waiting for news from the south, or fantasizing about being able to surround the point and send reinforcements. However, it was only now that Wang Jin understood that the Mongol Tatars had not lost their minds in the hatred of the death of Prince Zhenjin, and they were still methodically carrying out their own Jingzhao War.

It's like a pack of wolves on the grassland facing a tiger with its claws exposed, and it is not overwhelmed by the death of the head wolf, but constantly launches wave after wave of attacks. Although a wolf is far inferior to a tiger, when the number of wolves is large enough, even the most powerful tiger will be exhausted because it is unable to deal with enemies pressing from all directions, and its skin and flesh will be constantly torn off.

The Jingzhao Mansion and the Shence Army that were surrounded in front of him were the fierce tigers.

And the first bite that these wolves on the grassland want to eat is the Ming cavalry of Jingzhao Mansion.

Wang Jin was able to figure out the intentions of the Mongol Tatars, the cavalry was undoubtedly the only army in the Shence army that could break through from the encirclement of the Mongols, and once they carried a large number of firearms, they might even bite the Mongols back, so the Mongolian target was aimed at the cavalry of the Shence Army, which was reasonable.

What's more, the Mongols dealt with the cavalry first, which showed that they were bound to win the entire Jingzhao Mansion and the Shence army in the Jingzhao Mansion, and they didn't even plan to stay alive.

The massacre of the city is also recognized by the Mongols in the world, and no one dares to admit the first.

His teeth creaked, and Wang Jin clenched his fists, because he knew that he could no longer take care of the cavalry now, and since the Mongols began to attack the city, they would inevitably launch a fierce offensive, so that the Ming army would not have the time to take care of the defenders outside the city at all.

"Let's go, go to the North Gate!" Wang Jin shouted in a deep voice and ran along the wall to the north.

The sound of the drums had already awakened the silent Jingzhao Mansion, and the Ming soldiers of the brigade rushed out of the barracks, and the bed crossbows and flying thunder cannons were moved to the city in turn, and the trebuchets also began to be debugged.

"Be careful!" One of them roared.

Several bright parabolas appeared in the air, and the stone bullets wrapped in flames outside hit the city wall heavily, and the soldiers who were walking quickly up the city were swept by the sudden stone bullets, and they suffered heavy casualties for a while. Wang Jin suddenly took a light breath, he didn't expect that the Mongolian return cannon had been improved in such a way, and being hit by such a stone projectile was much more powerful than an ordinary stone projectile.

Thick smoke billowed and burned at the head of the city, and before it reached the northern wall, you could feel the heat wave in your face, and even the wild grass in the city that had not been cleared for many years was ignited by the spark at this moment, and quickly burned into ashes.

"Lift up the Flying Thunder Cannon and occupy the enemy platform and the horse face!" Wang Jin shouted in a deep voice.

The Mongol army under the city had begun to assemble, and the second batch of stone bullets roared through the air.

Subconsciously glanced back at the direction of Baqiao, and Wang Jin secretly prayed in his heart.

Han Xiao, the Mongol Tatars are attacking the city, the attack is fierce, I'm afraid there is no way to save you, you are dead, a certain king is dead, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to hold the city at your feet.

This city is not only the former capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but also a symbol of the glory that has passed, and it is the only reliance of the Shence Army in this black wave. Only by waiting for reinforcements in the city can we fight for a glimmer of life. Looking at the Mongol army that was pressed up by the black pressure, Wang Jin lost the confidence to fight them in the field for the first time.

However, fortunately, although Jingzhao Mansion is in disrepair for a long time, and even the city is overgrown with wild grass, after all, it is also the important place where the Song Dynasty fought against the Western Xia in the rear, and it is also the center of Guanzhong, so the city has also been repaired, especially adding a lot of strong Song Dynasty style.

As we all know, in the war with foreign races in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, most of them took a defensive position, and only a few times in the Xihe Kaibian took the initiative to expand externally, so in terms of attacking the city, the Song army may be at the bottom of the armies of all dynasties, but when it comes to defending the city, it is definitely at the peak.

Large and medium-sized city defense equipment such as divine arm crossbows, three-bow bed crossbows, and even firearms were all invented in the Song army's bloody battles relying on the city walls again and again. On the other hand, in addition to advanced and sharp equipment, the construction of the city in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty is also unique.

Because of the wealth of the Song Dynasty, most of the city walls were built with a large number of enemy platforms and horse faces at the expense of manpower and material resources.

For the enemy, a certain section of the city wall is higher than the rest of the city wall, so that after a section of the city wall falls, the defenders can retreat to the enemy platform and condescendingly fight back or even repel the enemy, and it is also the only choice for the general to stand on a high place and command.

The Song army likes to arrange three-bow bed crossbows on the horse surface, and then arrange crossbowmen on both sides, which can increase the range of bed crossbows in disguise, and secondly, it can also shoot the siege enemy troops who intend to climb under the city wall through the crossbowmen on both sides, so that the defense of the city wall is more resilient and can also take into account more dead ends.

As the first important town in Guanzhong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the city wall of Jingzhao Mansion naturally has undulating enemy platforms and a large number of convex horse faces. Although there are wild grasses everywhere, it does not mean that they are vulnerable. (To be continued.) )
