Chapter 356: The White City Breaks the Siege (Part II)

"Queue!"

"Rush!"

The warring sides, shouting at the same time, rushed together. The cavalry of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Rouran collided with the bayonet phalanx of the former army of the Wuwei, and the Rouran horse fell to the ground with a wail. The Rou Ran athlete on the horse, before his mount, had already pierced the body with a bayonet, and he was dying.

The officer of the former army of Wuwei, in the collision, was hit by the Rouran horse and fell backwards, and also firmly stabbed the bayonet in his hand into the body of the Rouran horse. As the horse's blood raged, the officer struggled to get up from the ground, drew his command knife, and prepared to meet the enemy, and a fallen knight also struggled to get up and drew his saber.

The two confronted each other, looking for an opportunity to make a move, and with a loud roar, Rouran rushed up quickly, but the armed guard officer with a bloody face and a command knife grinned, and just as the two were about to rush together, he had an extra pistol in his left hand and pulled the trigger towards the enemy in front of him.

The gunshot rang out, and the person fell down weakly, and the straight and gentle man didn't understand until he died, didn't he say that he was ready to use the knife, why he shamelessly pulled out the gun. The officer, however, had already stepped on the corpse of the enemy, wiped the blood from his face without healing, and shouted, "Come on! Kill me! I'm Li Zongyun, the Li Zongyun who can't be killed! Brothers, stab me through these traitors, they are far worse than the Cossacks, don't be afraid of them! ”

In fact, as he said, the former army, which had experienced the Battle of Xuanhua and had a white-knuckle fight with the Cossack cavalry, did not care at all about a cavalry assault of this scale in Rouran. Moreover, there are not many Rouran cavalry who can rush through the rain of bullets and kill in front of the infantry phalanx.

After all, it is not the combat style that the Rouran people are good at, not to mention that their guns are too poor, and when they fire one shot, the Wu Wei Army can shoot three or five shots, and the accuracy is even worse. If you shoot at the front of the Wuwei Army, you will actually be sent to death.

Therefore, Archo's command was automatically abolished by the leaders below, and Silver Tuth led his men to horses, and took the lead in launching the cavalry attack that the Rouran people were best at, followed by other men and horses.

They screamed and whistled on their horses, and as they galloped, they shot projectiles or bows and arrows at the golden soldiers, only to be killed by merciless buckshots. The riding and archery tactics that the Rouran people were good at in the past have been eliminated at the moment.

The range of the rifled guns was longer than that of the bow and arrow, and the Rouran people could not enter the range of the bow and arrow, so they had to be shot first. And after Ryan Stein's rigorous and almost brutal shooting training, these former soldiers fired their guns quickly and accurately, and the bullets were like splashing water. The casualties of the Rouran cavalry kept rising in this charge.

On both wings, Sun Meiyao's cavalry and the cavalry guards of the palace have been outflanked, and these Shandong cavalry have excellent marksmanship. When it was close to war, the horse team that charged against the wall also made Rouran Haojie suffer enough.

The sabers flickered, the heads fell to the ground, and the heroes of the soft horses were not weak in skill and force, but before this advanced stormtrooper, they repeatedly hit a wall. They raised their harnesses and tried to dismount the enemy, but their rifles and pistols were much more useful than their harnesses.

The men of the steppe, they did not lack courage or skill, but what they lacked was the advanced cavalry training and tactical guidance of this era, and they also lacked weapons sufficient to adapt to the battles of this era. In the past, in the battle with the Jin soldiers, their weapons were not as good as people, but relying on the speed of the horses, they could rush in front of the Jin soldiers, and then the officers and soldiers would flee. Only those warriors under the command of the prince will insist on fighting.

However, the former army of Wuwei encountered this time was a team they had never encountered before. These people did not even think of escaping, and when the Rouran people rushed to the front of the phalanx under the rain of bullets, these officers and soldiers did not hesitate to raise their bayonets and engage in a white-knuckle battle with the incoming enemy. And the excessively high losses before entering the white blade, especially the casualties of the commanders, put the Rouran heroes in an absolutely disadvantageous situation in this kind of battle.

As Zhao Guanhou's finger gently pulled down the bolt, Baiyin Tusi, a famous hero on the same grassland, was shot and fell off his horse in the first round of charge. Soon after, Zamusu and Fusang, the two sworn brothers and sisters of Tauk Tauhai, were killed one after another. Even the prairie heroes, who have always been brave and good at fighting, began to waver under this kind of casualties.

There were more than 2,000 troops in charge of blocking the attack, accounting for one-fifth of the total number of Rouran's troops, and according to the pre-war concept, this force could delay the reinforcements of the former army of Wuwei for between two and three hours, and if it performed well enough, it was not impossible for four or five hours.

According to the intelligence of the Tiele people, the troops besieged in Baicheng were the troops of the Wuwei Right Army, and the Wuwei Front Army were two systems. According to the consistent performance of the Jin soldiers, they have always been happy to see the defeat of friendly and neighboring troops that are not in this system, so as to reduce their competitors. Sometimes they will even fight tacit battles with themselves, deliberately delay time, and sit back and watch their allies be annihilated.

However, the strength of the attack shown by the Wuwei Front Army this time was far beyond the expectations of the Rouran people, and from the very beginning, the Wuwei Front Army was attacking at any cost to save its allies. The gap in weapons, training, and combat concepts has widened the distance between them. The battle lasted less than forty minutes, and the troops of the Rouran people had already begun to show their discouragement.

The banner of the front army of the Wuwei was about to be planted on the former position of the Rouran people, and Archo quickly got on his mount, beckoned his guards, and began to retreat. On the battlefield, the Rouran horse bandits, who were divided and surrounded, saw their comrades-in-arms being stabbed to the ground one after another, and finally couldn't bear the huge mental pressure, jumped off their mounts, and raised their hands to surrender.

Outside Baicheng, the war is still going on, and Delig led the death squad to occupy the city, but the Jin soldiers did not collapse, but turned into street fighting, and there is a great posture to turn Baicheng into a second Tongyu.

The Rouran people have a tradition of keeping the stove with their young sons, and they pay special attention to the younger sons, and Nuktu, the third son of Tauk Tauhai, has always been by his father's side and has not been put into battle. Seeing that his brother had already achieved initial merit, he was overjoyed and said, "Great Eqige, please give me a troop and let me dedicate Baicheng to you." ”

"Nuktu, do you know why I'm attacking White City?" Tauk Tauhai did not answer this question, but looked at the young son and said, "Because if we want to build our own country, first of all, we must show our strength. The Tiele people only want to use us, let us go and attack the Fuso warehouse. If our troops will only raid warehouses and rob trains, then they will always be just a bunch of bandits. Only by occupying the city and administering the city will we be like a country's army, and the country will look at us in a way that sees the country. If I can't be with you in the future, you must remember what I said today and tell him to your descendants. Our goal is to build a country of their own, so never limit ourselves to bandits. Wherever the horse's hooves can reach, it's our pasture. Go for this goal! ”

"E-pray, I'...... I don't understand. ”

"Silly boy, you'll soon understand. I hope I'm wrong, but if it's as I expected, I may not be able to drink the manai from my hometown this time...... You don't have to think too much about it, now look at the present. We haven't taken Baicheng yet, and your brother's ability is still too far behind, so I will send troops to support him. As for you...... Take your third division, go to our old camp first, and take care of our home. ”

Tauk Tauhai's gaze looked in the direction of the blockade, where only smoke and dust could be seen, and nothing else could be seen. If the resistance there is really so easy to break through, it proves that his idea is right, this time the troops were sent out to hit the muzzle of the gun, and the Jin soldiers on the opposite side were different from those they had encountered before.

As the gates of the White City opened, the excited Rouran bandits were already rushing towards the city with a shout, urging their horses and shouting with unknown meaning. This is a habit that has been passed down since the time of our ancestors, and the mere hearing of these cries can make countless enemies scatter. For these bandits, the outcome of the war was not a matter of concern to them, they only cared about how much money they could grab after entering the city, and how many beautiful women they could rob.

Due to the hard fighting for days and the lack of good rest, the morale of the Rouran gang was already very low, and a massacre and indulgence were urgently needed to boost morale. Even their leader could not control the troops at this time, and the order of entering the gate that had been agreed upon had all lost its meaning at this time. The formation of the army has been chaotic, and everyone is relying on their own horses, wanting to rush into the city first and seize everything they have.

Tauk Taohai was shocked in his heart, this was the phenomenon he was most afraid of, the troops were out of control, and once they encountered an accident, the only thing they could control at hand was the First Guards Cavalry Division. This little bit of strength is really too little.

At this time, Archo and a dozen of his Tiele guards rode fast horses and rushed towards Tauktauhai, and without bothering to get off their horses, they shouted: "Reinforcements, I need reinforcements!" The blocking position has been lost, give me two divisions...... No, three divisions, I'm going to get the blocking positions back. ”

"Colonel, I think you're too late, and now there's no need to transfer three divisions." Tauk Tauhai looked behind Alcho expressionlessly, Alcho turned his head, but saw that there had been a sporadic cavalry of the front army chasing here, and the outpost of the Tauk Tauhai cavalry who were originally stationed here began to fight fire.

In Baicheng, Li Xiushan and Feng Linge's troops, based on the mansion of the president of the local chamber of commerce, gathered all the big households in the city, and the troops went to the wall, ready to fight to the death. Li Xiushan himself pondered which woman to sleep with first, so that he could get some money back before he died.

Feng Linge came in from outside, his face was covered with blood, and he was embarrassed, but he was in a very good spirit, and he took Li Xiushan's hand and said, "My lord, we are saved." The cubs saw the Yellow Dragon Banner, it was the Yellow Dragon Banner! ”

"Yellow Dragon Banner? Did he read that right? Li Xiushan was also overjoyed, secretly glad that he didn't put his idea into practice, and hurriedly ordered, "Tell the following, don't be busy pouring oil and burying gunpowder on the house first, everyone resists and fights with them." ”

Outside the city, Sun Meiyao's cavalry vanguard had already made contact with Tao Ke Taohai's 1st Cavalry Division. The 1st Cavalry Division of the Founding of the Rouran Nation is the basic unit of Taoke Taohai, and its equipment is the best among all the horse bandits, with about 200 fast guns in the team of 1,000 people, and the others are all kinds of long and short guns, as well as more than ten revolvers. is absolutely loyal to Tao Ke Taohai, and he will not frown when he goes to the soup.

Among the horse bandits, such a thousand people can be used against two or three thousand people, charge in battle, and win every battle. Even when encountering difficult bones, as long as the first division is sent out to gnaw them, they will definitely be able to gnaw the bones open, and they will never lose.

But today, the 1st Division encountered a hard stubble, and the individual skills of the opposite horse team were on par with the soldiers of the 1st Division, but the overall coordination and discipline were more than a step stronger than that of the 1st Army. Moreover, this tactic of wall charging is also better than the solo fighting method of the Rouran cavalry.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the first division fell into disarray, and then, the cavalry infantry of the Wuwei Front Army had also caught up. Li Zongyun didn't care about cleaning up the wounds on his body, so he raised his machete and killed the cavalry formation, while the Minnie rifle post raised his rifle and began to shoot accurately.

"Retreat, Tauktauhai, keep fighting, and everyone will be lost." Archo was already worried about the elusive marksmanship of the Wu Wei Army, and suggested Tao Ke Tao Hai. Tauktauhi pointed to the city with his horsewhip, "There are my compatriots there, there are my siblings, how do you let me retreat?" ”

"Only you are alive and can recruit enough troops at any time, and those who are willing to obey your orders are some small minions, don't care. If even you are lost, your hope of building a country will be completely shattered, don't you understand? Come on! If it's too late, it'll be too late. ”

Seeing that the 1st Division was in a bitter battle, although it could maintain the queue by relying on loyalty, it was not fighting well, which everyone could see. Tauk Taohai nodded helplessly, and said to his youngest son Nutke: "Go and pass my order, everyone will disperse and move to the old camp to meet." Don't keep your tail and don't let the golden soldiers catch up. ”

He glanced at Baicheng, and the soft banner that had been erected at the head of the city would probably soon be cut down to the ground. The dream of building a country on his own has once again been shattered. Tauk Tauhai, who was no longer young, only felt exhausted, and his eyes were black. Once wanted to use the opportunity of Tiele and Fusang to build troops to fight for a living space for the Rouran people, was it so shattered?

The horses turned around and began to retreat, and the dead men continued to fight to buy time for their leader to move. The bandits had won and lost battles, and were accustomed to all this, but Tauktahoi had a very bad feeling, and this defeat was different from the past. I am afraid that after this war, not only will their own forces become history, but they will also have no way to see the situation of the Rouran people establishing their own country, looking at the grassland, and stepping on the world.

Dreams, shattered. (To be continued.) )
