Chapter 1446: Iron Riding Out of the City

readx; By dawn the next day, the bandits' troops were still arriving, and hundreds of thousands of troops had gathered under the city of Yangzhou. Pens, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info please search! The fastest updated novel is "Mixed 100,000" Ma Jinzhong in the east, "Zuojin King" He Jin in the west, and "Ge Li Eye" He Yilong and "Lao Huihui" Ma Shouying in the north. Among them, the strongest force was Lao Huihui, which reached 150,000, and Ma Jinzhong, who was also Hui Hui, also had 100,000.

He Yilong and He Jin had slightly fewer troops, but each family had at least sixty or seventy thousand people. Although He Yilong lost thousands of people in the siege yesterday, and He Jin was charged by the Guanning Iron Cavalry last night, and also lost nearly a thousand people, but for such a strong force, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The sun had just risen above the horizon, and several of the leaders had come to the old Hui camp to discuss matters. Because Lao Huihui has the most troops and the highest prestige, this time the thieves attacked Nanjing in two ways, and everyone publicly recommended him as the commander, and Lao Huihui also gladly accepted it. However, the use of troops by thieves has always been simple, but they are only outnumbered and marching fast, and they are not sensitive to changes in the situation on the battlefield. Like yesterday, Yizhen, who was dozens of miles away from the permit change, was killed by Guan Ning's iron cavalry and the whole army was defeated, and at this moment, Lao Huihui and the others still knew nothing, thinking that the permission change had just not arrived.

He Yilong first talked about yesterday's battle, and finally said triumphantly: "Although I have lost thousands of people, they are all newly wrapped in peasants, and they will die when they die, and there is nothing distressing." And the officers and soldiers defending the city also suffered a lot of casualties, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on. Today, all the leaders don't need to move, only continue to attack the city, and ensure that they will enter Yangzhou before dusk! ”

"Brother Yilong, you can't eat meat alone." He Jin said with a smile, "Yesterday, a group of officers and soldiers took advantage of my unstable foothold and broke through the camp, although the number was small, but it also injured hundreds of my men. If I can't breathe this out on the battlefield today, I won't be able to explain to my subordinates, brother. ”

In fact, what the two of them wanted was to capture Yangzhou alone, so as to grab as much loot as possible. Lao Hui saw that the two of them were fighting for a battle, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Since both of them are eager to fight, then attack the city together, the Yilong brothers are in the north, and the king of Zuojin is in the west, and Ma Jinzhong and I will not move, just for you to suppress the formation." What do you think? ”

He Yilong and He Jin knew that Lao Huihui wanted to preserve his strength so that he could keep the biggest fat meat in Nanjing. But it's okay, even if it's Yangzhou, it's enough to make the two battalions of Gezuo full. So they immediately agreed to return to the camp, and soon they clamored for troops.

However, when they looked at Yangzhou City, they were surprised to find that the north gate and the west gate of Yangzhou City were actually open, and the city head was empty! Could it be that the defenders were cowardly and were about to surrender?

But after waiting for a while, no one came out to ask for surrender, and there was no white flag hanging at the head of the city, He Yilong laughed and said: "Good guy, I still want to sing an empty city plan for Lao Tzu!" But Lao Tzu is not Sima Yi, come on, rush me! ”

At the same time, He Jin in the west also issued an order to attack the city, and thousands of thieves rushed to Yangzhou City like a tide. Since they thought they had fought well yesterday, the thieves did not change their tactics, and the thieves with long ladders and swords took the lead, a large number of archers fell slightly, and the elite cavalry watched the battle from a distance.

And the opposite Yangzhou city is still silent, in an instant the army of thieves rushed through most of the battlefield, the thieves in charge of climbing the city have broken through to only more than 30 steps away from the city wall, but the head of the city has not even shot an arrow.

But just when the thieves were secretly happy in their hearts, thinking that they could easily rush into the city, the city suddenly sounded golden drums and killed loudly! With an earth-shattering shout of killing, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared from the city and launched a volley, and in an instant, arrows rained down. However, the target of this rain of arrows was not the rogue in front, but the rogue archer who had just entered the eighty steps from the city wall.

For the thieves, because they had almost no training, the level of archery was uneven, and most archers could shoot thirty or forty paces away with a short bow, let alone attack the city. Therefore, they had to advance thirty paces below the city before they could form a formation and release their arrows. The archers of the defending army yesterday were also about this level, at most they had a bit of terrain advantage, so the two sides could fight evenly.

After the enemy is far away from the ghost, Qiu Mo is lonely and yang

But today it was different, the defenders of the city actually began to fire arrows so early, and they were so fast and fierce that the thieves were caught off guard, and a large area was shot down in an instant. Due to the low quality of tactics, this sudden blow immediately caused the thieves to disrupt the camp, and some of the archers hurriedly ran forward in a hurry, trying to rush to within thirty paces as soon as possible to launch a counterattack; And many more instinctively retreat backwards.

However, the rain of arrows of the defenders was like having eyes, and the enemy who was more than eighty paces away did not shoot, and the enemy who was not an archer within eighty paces did not shoot, so they only shot the archers who ran forward. These rogue archers thought that there were so many cannon fodder in front of them, and they should be very safe, but they didn't expect the defenders to stare at them and shoot, they couldn't fight back, and they suffered heavy casualties in a short time, not to mention shooting in formation, not even a single one rushed to thirty steps from the city wall.

The archers in the back were shot, but the thieves who charged in front felt a hint of joy. Because they were already very close to the city wall, they had filled a small moat with a large number of sandbags during the siege yesterday, and today they could rush directly from here to enter the city through the open gate, and even climb the city. So they skimmed the ladder and rushed straight forward with their swords.

But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves in the city was loud, and a cavalry team rushed out of the city gate like sharp arrows, and pierced into the camp of thieves. These cavalrymen all rode tall horses, armed with long sabers, and the slashing action was very simple, with only three moves: the first move "Split Huashan", the second move "Fly diagonally into the clouds", and the third move "Sweep a thousand armies"!

However, these three tricks are enough. Originally, cavalry had a great advantage over infantry, and the only people in the infantry who could pose a threat to cavalry were archers. But the thieves' archers are letting the defenders at the head of the city shoot wolf rushes at this time, so how can they care about this place! In addition, the sabers of the official cavalry are long and heavy, and they are irresistible by borrowing the momentum of the horses, and they rush the thieves in an instant, and they are forced to cut a bloody alley in the sea of people!

At the same time, a troop of cavalry was also killed at the West City Gate. The two teams of cavalry did not stop after cutting down the thieves under the city, and went directly to the battlefield to kill deeply, as if they were in a no-man's land. The rain of arrows pouring down from the city was non-stop, and it cooperated very well with the cavalry of the official army, and as soon as the rain of arrows swept over, the cavalry followed, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the thieves. At this time, the thieves still have the heart to attack, and they all cry and run around!

He Yilong, who was watching the battle from behind, was overjoyed just now, but he didn't expect that his subordinates would be killed and defeated on all fronts in the blink of an eye! He was shocked and angry: "the thief, the officials and soldiers dare to go out of the city to fight!" The cavalry obeyed the order, rushed up for me, and made sure that not a single officer or cavalry was left! ”
