Chapter 226: Arson, Burning Grain, Fierce Battle
Jia Xu was called "Poisoner" by later generations! His nickname, in addition to showing his vicious schemes, also fully reflects his superb wisdom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Maybe when everyone thought that he just wanted to seize the grain, they didn't know that he actually not only wanted to take back the grain, but also wanted to recover the fallen Chang'an City, and even if he had the opportunity, he would take the lives of Gan Ning and others!
This time, when he faced Gan Ning, who threatened to set fire to the grain, in order to save the root of his life - the grain of Taicang. He first let Li Wei and Gan Ning fight wantonly to drag Gan Ning to prevent him from setting fire to the grain.
Then he secretly arranged manpower, and he ordered the Xiliang army, all the way to Li Huan, another brother of Li Wei as the commander, and led tens of thousands of men and horses to leave the city and rush to Dasanguan, to inform Li Qi and others to return to Chang'an City immediately.
All the way, Li Ying, who was leading the Xiliang army, was blocking outside the gate of the south city, and went to collect a large number of utensils for holding water.
took advantage of the opportunity to collect troops and return to the city, and under the unpreparedness of Gan Ning and others, they successfully brought back a large number of utensils filled with cool river water.
If you say it, it's worthless! Jia Xu's strategy seems very simple, but it contains complex calculations such as everyone sparing their lives, overcoming fire with water, arsoning with the enemy's survival, and timing to extinguish fires.
Jia Xu knew that once he ordered the troops to charge the enemy, the panicked and angry enemy soldiers would definitely set fire to the food. This is a kind of retaliatory psychological behavior that Lao Tzu can't get better, and you can't think of living well.
Therefore, he ordered the cavalry at the south gate to collect the troops, which was to show the enemy a way to live, so that they would not fight to the death, and even delay the time for the army to fight the fire.
As for the question of how the enemy soldiers would survive after escaping from Chang'an City, Jia Xu said that he didn't care at all. Because once the enemy army fled, he not only recaptured Chang'an City, but also rescued the grain of Taicang, which he relied on for survival.
What's more, he had already seen that more than half of these enemy troops were foot soldiers. Could it be that this kind of enemy army, which only has two small short legs, has a chance to escape the pursuit of the fast-moving Xiliang Iron Cavalry?
Things are going so well! When Li Ying outside the south gate led the army back to the city, under Jia Xu's hint, Li Wei looked at Gan Ning and others who were slowly measuring rice and grain under the bright red firelight.
At this time, the wind was cool, the night was darker, and under the light of bright red torches, Li Wei suddenly pointed his sword forward and killed his vocal cords: "Give it to Lao Tzu!" Not a single one to stay! ”
"Kill! Kill these ball-wretched bastards......"
"Ha, I'm going to slaughter the guy with the torch......"
"That's Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu let him dare to be bold and hahap Lao Tzu......"
In the roar that shook the sky, the Xiliang soldiers who had already been holding back the fire in their stomachs were divided into two cases, and they rode their horses and waved their blades and shouted, and rushed towards Gan Ning and the others.
Suddenly, the south of Chang'an City presented a monstrous scene of thousands of horses galloping and thousands of soldiers roaring. This is a tactic, and Jia Xu hopes to use the amazing momentum to frighten the enemy army.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong, and he was so wrong! He was shocked to find that this group of enemy troops, who only had seven or eight thousand men, were not only frightened and rushed to escape.
On the contrary, he quickly set up a formation to meet the enemy under the command of the enemy general. Jia Xu immediately after the battle, but when he saw the firelight, Gan Ning waved his halberd: "Brothers, throw torches and set fire!" Pick up the gun and shield and follow Lao Tzu! ”
In the cool breeze, Zhang Ren waved his gun: "Listen to the order!" Three-row burst fire, free fire! ”
Suddenly, thousands of troops roared and arrows were fired, and the two generals roared with guns and halberds! In "Bang Bang Bang...... In the sound of the explosion, Gan Ning and Zhang Ren, the two fierce generals, with more than 4,000 heavily armed foot soldiers on their prancing horses and guns, quickly set up a formation in a narrow place to resist the front.......
In the long street, under the firelight, Gan Ning and Zhang Ren stepped forward in front of the soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the surging Xiliang riders approached like a frenzied tide, braving the rain of arrows amid the earth-shattering shouts.
"Kill! Die! In the midst of two earth-shattering roars, Zhang Ren and Gan Ning rushed into the enemy formation with their halberds in unison.
In an instant, the halberd flashed and the mountains and rivers were broken, the halberd carried the bright red blood in the sky, the stars fell from the shadow of the gun, and the gun wind drove the bloody wind in half the city! Gan Ning is the tiger general of the world, and Zhang Ren is not afraid to let it go.
As soon as these two fierce generals rushed into battle, the Xiliang iron horsemen who were not led by brave generals were suddenly killed in the bloody wind and rain, and the people who screamed and the horses roared turned over on their backs.
The enemy's formation was in chaos, and the more than 3,000 elite horsemen who were beside Taicang, which had already risen in black smoke and flames, seized the opportunity to shoot the sharp arrows and crossbows in their hands towards the black-pressed Xiliang army in the blazing airwaves.
For a while, the south of the ancient Chang'an City was "poof...... Whoa......" roared loudly, and hot and bright red blood flew in the cold, silver-white arrows, and the bloody qi rose with the blazing heat.
In just an instant, the ancient Chang'an Avenue was covered with red blood, white pulp, minced meat, and broken limbs...... and the roaring roar, the terrible screams, intertwined into a hellish miserable situation.
Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not have a brave general to command, it was worthy of being an elite army that had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they quickly adjusted their tactics after only a moment of panic.
The 'melee strategy' of that year even made the Xiliang Iron Cavalry even defeat the 'Lu Bu' who was known as the fiercest in the Three Kingdoms. In just a few moments, this tactic was revived.
They went forward one after another, with a part of the men and horses, and surrounded the brave Gan Ning and Zhang Ren with a circular array; One side of the army was divided into two cases, and the horses rushed to the army behind the two generals.
Xiliang Malaysia is rampant in the world! The combat method of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is extremely special, it has both the shape of a battle formation and the sharpness of cavalry shooting! In an instant, the Xiliang iron horsemen, who had sharp spears, sharp arrows, roaring people, and neighing horses, rushed to the army under Hua Fei's command.
The Xiliang army is brave and good at fighting, but the elite soldiers under Hua Fei's command are all experienced in battle, and they will naturally not retreat in the slightest in the face of strong enemies.
Seeing the enemy cavalry surging forward, the sword and shield soldiers under Gan Ning's command all captained and roared fiercely: "It is golden and white!" ”
"The sword and shield are as solid as a mountain!" All the armies responded to the sound of "sonorous" sounds, and the strong shields on all sides were quickly arranged into a shield array. In the "clanging" sound of the rapid exchange of gold and iron, it blocked the enemy's dense arrow rain in time.
At the same time, the spear lieutenant roared: "Spear ready!" ”
"Wow!" In Gao Yingsheng, the pikemen retreated in unison to raise their guns, and in an instant, the sharp tip of the four-meter-long spear pointed obliquely at the sky, and the thick handle was close to the waist.
In the blink of an eye, the galloping enemy horsemen were deafening "Kill! With that, he galloped to the front of the shield.
The spear captain hissed and roared: "Thorn! ”
"Whoosh" In the continuous sound of breaking the wind, the sharp spear spun like a poisonous snake and quickly burst out of the shield array, "Poof...... Rhythm ...... Whoa......" The sound of the long gun stabbing the flesh was urgent, and the sound of people screaming, horses neighing in pain, and chaotic sounds accompanied by a rich bloody breath flew in the blood spilled by the Daodao.
"Collect ...... Stab...... Resist ......"
In the roar, the elite soldiers under Hua Fei's command mercilessly retracted and stabbed sharply, with blood on the roots and red thorns; The sword and shield elite soldiers used all their strength to eat, gritting their teeth and resisting wave after wave of fierce attacks like a frenzy of enemy horses.
The wind blew arrows like rain, the spears were bloody, and in the selfless battle, Hua Fei's elite soldiers finally broke through the shield array by the enemy in one fell swoop because the number was too small.
Suddenly, the enemy horsemen who rushed forward rushed in like that, like a flood that broke the embankment.
"Kill!" Seeing this, the more than 3,000 elite horsemen who were constantly shooting arrows at the rear of the army saw this, and roared angrily and fiercely pulled out the fifty refining sword at their waists, and the enemy horsemen who rode straight towards them rushed forward.
In this moment alone, Bo Yuan's merits were highlighted, although the Fifty Refining Treasure Sword could not sharpen iron like clay, it was already a first-class weapon in this era. This knife alone is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and it is still priceless.
But when I saw the charge of the fine cavalry, the sword light slashed the enemy's blade, the sharp blade fell and cut the spear, and the hand armor broke and blood splashed...... Three thousand elite horsemen charged, and those who blocked them were draped in moose. In an instant, the fierce offensive of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was frustrated.
It's a pity that more ants can bite an elephant! Even if they were well-armed and brave in battle, they could not withstand the fierce black pressure of the enemy horsemen.
After only a few moments, the elite horsemen, who had lost their impact, turned over and fell off their horses one after another screaming under the fierce rush of the enemy horsemen.
"Kill! Kill them......" The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had broken the formation, was difficult to ride, and was in a position to win shouted, riding their horses and beating the elite soldiers of the Huafei Army who were fighting separately.
"It's all for Lao Tzu to climb away!" In the enemy formation, Gan Ning saw that the situation was critical, and rushed with a halberd in a roar.
"Get out of here!" Zhang Ren even used the treasure gun in his hand as a stick with red eyes, and both of them tried their best to break out of the enemy formation as soon as possible, so as to support their subordinates who were already in a desperate situation.
It's a pity that although the two generals are unstoppable, the enemy horsemen do not touch hard, they just ride their horses and swing their blades around the circle, which makes it difficult for the two fierce generals to break through the formation for a while. (To be continued.) )
