Chapter 140: The Far East Campaign (6)
The Flying Tiger Army led by Wang Meng has been rushing in front of the various armies, they have been chasing and killing all the way and keep putting the captured war horses into the brigade, up to now, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army have all reached one person and three horses, and even a few people have appeared in the situation of one person and five horses. More war horses means that you can run around the clock, which means that you can change your war horses at any time, and you don't have to worry about the lack of physical strength of war horses.
Wang Meng kept stuffing jerky into his mouth as he ran. Not only him, but every soldier of the Flying Tigers moves the same as their main general. Less than a mile in front of the Flying Tiger Army, nearly 20,000 or 30,000 defeated troops of Dongrong were galloping on lifeless horses, which also pointed out the direction for the Flying Tiger Army to move forward.
Running and running, Wang Meng suddenly stuffed the jerky back into the leather bag, and he opened his throat and shouted.
"Come here with mortars, Dongrong reinforcements are coming, and the whole army is ready with bows and arrows. The gunner is in front, and the cannon is fired. ”
The Flying Tigers' mortars can be taken away by two people, and the weight of the shells is about the same as that of hand-thrown thunderbolts, but the range is three times that of hand-thrown ones. In this battle of crossing the river, the Flying Tiger Army was equipped with 50 of these mortars, and the burden on the gunners was greatly reduced by one man and three horses, and the high-intensity battle made the technical and tactical level of these gunners rise sharply, and more than 100 gunners could fire shells on horseback, and they were all operated independently.
With Wang Meng's order, the gunners of the Flying Tiger Army quickly gathered together and began to reload in pairs. Tom tom, dozens of shells flew out in the blink of an eye, and explosions rang out. The ranks of the defeated army of Dongrong, who were galloping in front, immediately turned on their backs.
This scene surprised the three people who had just arrived, Jebeli, Bayintu and Jimut, they couldn't believe that the artillery team of the Flying Tiger Army was so fast that it could chase the cavalry. At this time, no matter how loud the voice was, it had no effect, and Jebeli immediately ordered the arrow to be released.
The dense wolf's tooth arrows shot the rapidly approaching Dongrong defeated army to the ground, and at the same time reminded them that the defeated army instantly split into two groups and ran past the edge of the formation of nearly 100,000 troops of the three of Jebeli.
"Put it again, shoot all the shells, and release the arrows."
Wang Meng's order was also very timely, and at this time, the speed of the Flying Tiger Army did not slow, and the 30,000 army lined up in a huge arrow and rushed straight towards Jebeli and the others. Mortars were fired one after another, and one shell after another accurately fell into Jeberi's army, setting off waves of flesh and blood.
Hum, a dark cloud rose from the Flying Tiger Army's military formation and slammed into the Dongrong Army. Before the two sides could meet each other in a short battle, the contest had already begun.
"Draw your sword, the whole army assault!"
In the rapidly approaching cavalry confrontation, the bow and crossbow were only three shots at most, and Wang Meng calculated the timing very accurately, and ordered a surprise attack almost at the same time as the whole army released the wolf tooth arrows in his hands.
Hey, the soldiers beside Wang Meng brushed and put down their riding guns, and the soldiers in the back row drew their long knives and pointed forward, these series of actions were completed in an instant on the back of a fast-running horse.
"Flying Tiger Army, Wan Sheng!!"
Facing the enemy army several times his size, Wang Meng's battle intent boiled, and the killing desire in his body was suddenly stimulated, and the sharp peak of the Qinglong Bloodthirsty Halberd pointed directly at Jebeli.
"Karalongtai, kill!"
Jebeli roared and brandished his battle axe to kill Wang Meng.
"Wow ha, don't panic, my brother is here. Leopard cavalry, assault! ”
"Zhenbei Army, assault!"
"Kill !!"
There is Gao Bijiang on the left, and Ye Yuanzheng on the right, Wang Meng's heart is more down-to-earth, and the momentum of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army has reached its peak. When the troops were small, they were not afraid of these wolf cubs, and now that the troops are quite strong, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the commander is still behind, today's battle is a good time to make contributions. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, the surging Dongrong cavalry became white silver and medals.
The two huge cavalry groups swept across the mountains like two streams of iron, rumbling together, and at that moment, the battle spirit accumulated in the hearts of the two armies erupted like volcanic magma. No matter which side of the soldiers, the word life and death no longer exists in their hearts, and some only have the desire to kill the other party. Kill, kill, kill, kill. At this moment, man has become a beast, a bloodthirsty beast, a killing machine.
The blood is flowing, life is passing, but the belief in victory is getting stronger and stronger, the two sides are fighting for their lives, the loud battle horn tears through the night sky, the night is also frightened by this tragic fight, the night gradually recedes, and the light gradually comes. When Niu Tianci led the army into the battlefield, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion let out an earth-shattering roar again, and the pressure of the Dongrong army increased exponentially. When Sima Changfeng led the Iron Arm Army into the battlefield, the outcome of this encounter was a foregone conclusion.
The soldiers of the Iron Arm Army formed a small team to divide and surround the scattered Dongrong cavalry and eliminate them one by one, and the Dongrong cavalry, who had lost their unified command and mobile advantage, fell to the ground in pieces under the encirclement and attack of the Flying Tiger Army's infantry army.
Jebeli was already sweating, and Wang Meng's Green Dragon Bloodthirsty Halberd attacked his vital point like crazy. After nearly four hours of fierce fighting, Jebeli felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, but Wang Meng was still alive and well, and the halberd did not slow down at all. Jebeli now only has the ability to parry and has no power to fight back, but Wang Meng is becoming more and more courageous, and his voice like a broken gong shouts from time to time.
"Wha, cool! Little Bunny you are awesome, little bunny, what is your name? Little rabbit, don't you use some strength, aren't you bored, why don't you rest first? ”
Jebeli didn't have time to deal with Wang Meng's provocation now, he just wanted to withdraw from the battlefield now, because he saw the familiar shadow of the man in gold armor and dancing with a big lance. Cui Ci, no, it's Niu Tianci.
Jebeli immediately calmed down when he saw Niu Tianci, and he remembered Su Erhu's words. At this point in the battle, it is pointless to fight hard, withdraw.
After Jebeli had made up his mind, he mustered up his spirits and launched a fierce attack on the king. Wang Meng suddenly became excited, and shouted loudly to fight with Jebeli. Jebeli took advantage of the staggered stirrup of the two horses, and after quickly rushing out of more than a dozen steps, he turned around and shot an arrow at Wang Meng. After shooting this arrow, Jebeli did not look at the result and shouted: "Retreat." Then he patted the horse and left.
Wang Meng was so angry that he shouted and scolded: "Jebeli, you dead rabbit, what are you running if you don't fight well, stop, the fierce master is here." ”
The combat quality of the Golden Wolf Cavalry was obviously higher than that of the ordinary Dongrong cavalry, and they did not retreat like a swarm, but instead swarmed Wang Meng and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army. Bayintu and Jimut also led their troops back after sending out their troops to break the rear.
After Wang Meng swept away the enemy in front of him like a fly, he immediately led the Flying Tiger Army to chase after him, and Niu Tianci led the Leopard Cavalry Army and the Zhenbei Army to quickly chase after the fleeing enemy.
Just when Jebeli and the Flying Tiger Army were fighting bloodily, Jingyuan City was shrouded in gunsmoke, and the Yan Army did not rush to attack the city, but only sealed the four gates of Jingyuan City with ballistas. The continuous bombardment made it impossible to stand on the city wall at all, and the Dongrong army had to hide in various places.
Erni, the chief of the Dongrong Khan's personal guard, strode into the Khan Palace, and he knelt in front of Su Erhu and begged Su Erhu to leave.
"Great Khan, the sky will soon dawn, and if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid there will be no more chance. Great Khan, you are the head of Dongrong, Dongrong can't live without you, Ernnie asks the Great Khan to leave quickly. ”
"Erni, what you said is right, but I feel ashamed in my heart, I am ashamed of my trust in Brother Erdunke, I easily believed in that guy Cui Ci, and buried the fruits of the lives of countless warriors, I am a sinner of Dongrong."
"No, Great Khan, you are wrong. Since I came to the Far East, Dongrong has worked hard for hundreds of years, and several generations of great khans have worked hard to make the country prosperous, but Dongrong has not made today's achievements. It didn't make the full moon golden wolf flag flutter again. Only under the leadership of you and the Great Khan of Erdunk did this. Dayan is too powerful, and it is inevitable that we will encounter setbacks and failures in the process of confronting Dayan, so the Great Khan should not completely ruin Dongrong's hope because of his momentary anger. I don't think he would have agreed to your approach if the Great Khan of Erdunk had been there. Let's go, Great Khan, you must get out of here, now, right away. ”
"But if I leave, the soldiers in the city will not resist desperately, our troops are slow, if we can't stop the Flying Tiger Army here, once they catch up, our losses will be too heavy."
"Great Khan, I stay to command the battle. Ernnie will definitely stop the Flying Tigers. Great Khan, don't hesitate any longer. ”
Su Erhu finally nodded. Half an hour later, the four gates of Jingyuan City opened at the same time, and a thousand cavalry rushed out from each of the four city gates, they howled and killed the Flying Tiger Army, the Flying Tiger Army desperately blocked it, and Qin Wuyang also took two thousand cavalry to surround the four gates to block the Dongrong cavalry that rushed out. When the 4,000 Dongrong cavalry, who had suffered heavy casualties, retreated into the city, Guan Changyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hei Shuiliang, I order you to take a thousand people to search everywhere, and if you find that the Dongrong deserters will be killed on the spot."
Hei Shuiliang took the order and began to search around for the scattered Dongrong cavalry who had escaped. After killing a hundred and ten Dongrong cavalry, he carefully searched the vicinity to see if there were no more Dongrong people alive, and then led the people to run away. Just after Hei Shuiliang left, dozens of heads popped up in the ditch on the side of the road where the corpses of Dongrong soldiers were lying there. These dozens of people quickly climbed out of the ditch and whistled, attracting more than a dozen ownerless war horses, dozens of people got on their horses and left quickly, and the one running in front seemed to be the Dongrong Great Khan Surhu.
The sun hadn't fully risen yet, but the night had faded. The Flying Tiger Army outside Jingyuan City finally stopped firing artillery, and the soldiers of Dongrong poked their heads out of the city wall tremblingly, and their faces turned pale with fright. I saw that outside the city was the endless Dayan army, and the battle flags were whirring in the morning breeze.
The Flying Tiger Legion has a strict appearance and a mighty army. The whole army is like a tiger, a horse is like a dragon, the military song is loud, and the battle flag is hunting.
"Report to the marshal, Jingyuan has been surrounded, please show the marshal when to start attacking the city."
"It's now, Ben Shuai ordered, the whole army attacked the city!" (To be continued.) )
