Chapter 187: The Wind Sweeps Gwangju Changes (Medium)
North of Gwangju City.
Ye Yingwu took a light breath, and his eyes flashed with this essence. Of course, this is Ye Yingwu's own opinion, according to Jiang Tie's belly, it should be a flashing hungry gaze, and not only the dignified Ye Yuanjun, but also the countless Song army soldiers behind him.
The flames of Gwangju have risen into the sky, **** sky. It seemed that such a situation had been expected, so the grain and grass convoy out of the city began to speed up, and the accompanying escort cavalry had no intention of turning back.
"Envoy?" Jiang Tie looked at Ye Yingwu tentatively.
Ye Yingwu Huoran pulled out his sword and pointed to the grain and grass convoy under the hillside: "Tianwu Army, the victory or defeat is here, follow so-and-so, rush-!" ”
Before the words fell, the war drums of the Quartet roared, and one after another transmission fireworks rushed into the sky, blooming with brilliant brilliance, but compared with the flames in Gwangju City, it was much inferior. But the communication was enough, and the Song soldiers, who had been in ambush for a long time in all directions, roared and straightened their waists from the barren grass, perhaps everyone was exhausted by the long lurk, but when the signal fireworks were raised, no one was left behind.
Sleeping in the open during this period of wind and food, what was done was this blow.
"Tianwu Army, kill-!" Jiang Tie led the cavalry of the Hundred Battles to take the lead, cutting off the grain and grass convoy, approaching the front four or five thousand soldiers of the Tianwu Army under the leadership of Yin Yu to divide and surround the Mongolian infantry guarding the guards.
Ye Yingwu rode through the chaotic crowd, aimed at a Mongolian soldier who was close by with a crossbow in his hand, and pulled the trigger violently, and the guards behind him followed forward and slashed down. It's just that Ye Yingwu didn't look back at the results, but crashed into the horse convoy with his sword, and was about to throw the fire fold in his hand onto the carriage, but Jiang Tie, who didn't know where he had gone, turned around with the cavalry of the Hundred Battles, and said loudly across the carriage:
"Envoy, the north gate of Gwangju has never been closed!"
"What?!" Ecstasy welled up in his heart, and Ye Yingwu subconsciously looked around. Except for more than a dozen personal guards and Jiang Tie's hundred battles, they were all in chaos, and countless Song soldiers and Mongolian soldiers fought against each other, and they couldn't find the Song army team that had always looked neat. And Yin Yu, who was in charge of the command, was also nowhere to be seen at this time.
It doesn't matter so much! Ye Yingwu casually threw the fire fold into the grain cart, and then made a gesture at Jiang Tie, and followed Ye Yingwu to fight in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which meant that Jiang Tie still understood, although there were only 100 cavalry. But for the daring Hundred Battles, it was enough. Didn't you rely on a hundred cavalry to directly enter the Mongolian infantry formation just a few days ago?
"Hold up the flag of a certain general, kill!" Ye Yingwu clenched the reins of the horse, the horse neighed, and first knocked away the two Mongolian soldiers who were blocking the way, and the guards behind him were responsible for harvesting their lives. Crimson blood sprinkled on Ye Yingwu's crimson flag.
The color was as brilliant as a raging fire.
Ye Yingwu didn't see Yin Yu, but Yin Yu saw Ye Yingwu, especially the flag waving in the wind, which was particularly eye-catching. Seeing Ye Yingwu tearing a hole in a hundred battles, he went south. Yin Yu had already vaguely guessed that now that the big battle was coming, he couldn't allow him to hesitate, and with a wave of the saber in his hand, the front carriage of the Tianwu Army, which was supposed to sit in the rear of Tianjia Town, was waiting, but he had to take his sons and daughters to rush straight to the northernmost crowd of people again.
The official road is not narrow when it is said to be narrow, and it is not wide when it is said to be wide, as long as it leaves the official road, these grain trucks cannot pass at all. So it was only necessary to intercept the grain convoy all the way north, as for how many Mongolian soldiers were killed. On the contrary, it is secondary.
――――――――――――――――
The wooden flowers looked hideous in the firelight.
He already knew that he was not far from death, and even if he could strangle the two hundred Song cavalry that were rampaging in the city, he would probably not be able to escape death, although more than half of the grain and grass had been transferred. But the remaining half was incinerated and the damage was still incalculable.
"Cavalry, follow so-and-so!" Mu Huali shouted angrily in the party language, although the vast majority of his subordinates were Han Ding Zhuang, but there was still a Tang Wu cavalry, that is, the "Iron Harrier" who left a famous name in history. This kind of cavalry, with the Xixia party as the main body of the assault, was once the main force of the Tang Dynasty, and the Li family came to rely on the five states to divide the territory. And now, although their homeland is no longer there, it still does not prevent such a cavalry from being used by the Mongols.
There were only two hundred iron harriers under Muhuali's command, but that was enough. The Iron Harrier was thought to be the best choice for a charge, relying on the heavy armor and powerful horsepower of the horse, it could use the wolf pack tactics with heavy cavalry, although the number was small, but it was enough to completely crush a large array of thousands of foot soldiers.
The same is two hundred cavalry, two hundred heavily armed iron harriers against two hundred light cavalry, this is a winning situation, because except for heavy crossbows such as divine arm crossbows or firearms such as thistles, ordinary swords cannot hurt iron harriers after iron armor at all.
The two hundred heavy cavalry were quickly arrayed, and although it was troublesome to put on armor, it took some time for the two hundred cavalry to enter the city and light the fire. In other words, if Muhwa-ri doesn't take action, I'm afraid that the entire Gwangju City will soon be in ashes.
"Kill, kill Nanban!" Two hundred iron harriers roared in a low voice, stirring up their horses.
The iron hooves slammed into the ground with a terrifying sound. And the Mongolian Han family soldiers who were panicked in front fled one after another, for fear that they would not be able to dodge. They knew very well that once these iron harriers charged, they would never stop because there was someone in front of them.
All those who are drawn into the battle have only one ending: death.
However, fortunately, there are many streets in the city, and there are only 200 Iron Harriers, but they also have to divide into two roads, and they approach the cavalry of the Tianwu Army from two directions.
"Iron Harrier!" Although Jiang Hao had not seen these heavily armed iron horsemen with his own eyes, Jiang Hao still thought of the opponent's path the moment he heard the sound of the horse's hooves and saw the mountain-like figure.
In the firelight, Wu Chucai also took a breath of cool air. Although the heavy cavalry is actually more lethal to the foot soldiers, and the opponent will often be led by the nose by the opponent using the light speed advantage against the light cavalry, this does not mean that the moment you see these heavy cavalry, you will not be afraid.
"You can't meet it head-on." Jiang Hao said coldly, "You and I each lead a team, a team of 100 people, lead them in front, and someone in front of them will open the way in case they are trapped by the foot soldiers." ”
"That's all there is to it now." Wu Chucai smiled bitterly. Immediately grasped the knife, the saber was already full of blood, flowing down the blood trough, slippery on the hand and hilt. Wu Chucai himself didn't know how many people he had killed and how many fires he had lit.
Jiang Hao nodded: "There were fireworks in the north just now, it seems that the envoy directly led people to the north to intercept and kill, then let's go to the north gate, open the north gate and welcome the envoy in!" ”
"Good. Take care! Wu Chucai said loudly, the iron harrier was already approaching in front of him in a moment, and the two of them had no effort to say anything else.
"Take care!" Jiang Hao shouted loudly, and slammed the war horse, and the horse neighed, and rushed out first. More than a hundred blood-covered cavalrymen followed him closely, and in the roaring explosion, the last of the thistles were thrown into the formation of the Iron Harriers.
The flash of fire is eye-catching. A quarter of the Iron Harriers disappeared, but it didn't stop them from moving forward. Keep moving! The hooves of rolling horses trampled the streets, and tall horses and men were gasping for breath under heavy armor.
And the cavalry of the Song army who stayed behind to resist the broken one, Le Ma stood still, and the knife in his hand was slowly raised. Their horses had been galloping for too long, and even though the Iron Harriers were heavily armoured, their horsepower was still about the same, and even the tall horses of the Iron Harriers were superior.
If you don't leave anyone behind, it won't be long before you catch up.
General Song Jun looked coldly at the iron harrier who was getting closer and closer, and slowly sang: "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north!" ”
"The dragon rolls. The horse neighed, and the sword aura was like frost! Without hesitation, the cavalry behind them followed closely the voices of their ten generals.
Majestic and deep singing echoes in the empty, bright streets.
In this way, the cavalry of the Song army crashed straight into the well-known Western Xia Iron Harrier. It's like an arrow off the string, and there is no intention of turning back.
"Kill!" The singing came to an abrupt end. However, there was a piercing sound from the dense crowd, only one word, but it seemed to have infinite power. Inside and outside the city, in front of the street and behind the street, the Song soldiers didn't know who took the lead first.
The majestic singing voice did not completely dissipate, but became louder and louder. The hundred battles in the city were roaring, and Ye Yingwu outside the city took the lead and went straight to the half-hidden north gate! Jiang Tie guarded Ye Yingwu tightly, and with his sword in his hand, he had already cut down four or five Mongolian foot soldiers one after another.
The cavalry of the Hundred Battles, who entered the city one after another, pushed the city gate open.
Inside and outside the city, the same fire soared into the sky. The tongue of fire **** the sky, and in the fierce wind, the fire grew bigger and bigger, as if it was going to devour everything. The two hundred iron harriers are like an iron stream tumbling and roaring northward, Mu Huali did not expect that the two hundred Song troops in front of him would be so tenacious, and there were constantly people staying, willing to do their best, just to be able to stop the iron harriers for even a moment.
Their faces were hideous, but they did not hesitate. These southern barbarians have gone crazy, this is the truest feeling in Muhua's heart.
Countless moments connected are long enough. Before you know it, two hundred iron harriers have rushed from the south to the north of the city, and fatigue and fatigue have spread from the soles of their feet to their hearts, and if the hoplites cannot tear the enemy apart in a short distance, then they may be exhausted to death or fall off their horses and become a live target for the enemy.
In any case, it can't be fought anymore. The north gate was opened, the flames were soaring, and Muhuali didn't know how many Song troops poured into the city, but he was sure in his heart that the grain and grass convoy going north was more than auspicious. However, the fire was only in the north of the city, and the northeast was still quiet, fortunately, I had divided two roads to transport grain and grass, otherwise it would have been really caught in a net.
"Unload your armor and break through to the northeast!" Mu Huali was in the flames, his face showed a panicked look, he had already felt the fatigue and weakness of the war horse under his crotch, and it seemed that he might fall to the ground at any time, so there were not many options left for him, the Song army entered the city, and Gwangju had been lost!
Only to the northeast, if I don't understand, can I catch up with the last grain cart team to go out of the city and keep this quarter of the grain and grass.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The so-called armor removal is actually to take off the helmet or something that is easy to take off, but this layer of iron armor on the body usually needs the help of others to bring it on, and now it is naturally impossible to take it off on the back of a galloping horse.
But even if it's one helmet missing, it's good, and finally there is no such heavy feeling on the head.
To the north of Gwangju City is Sincai, and to the northeast is Ruyin, and Ah Shu has arranged at least four or five thousand men and horses in both places as the second line of defense of the army outside Xiangyang City. That is to say, as long as Muhuali runs along the northeast official road to the left of Ruyin. It's safe.
The same is true of the Mongolian grain, grass and horse team that takes the official road in the northeast.
Although the war horse under the crotch has become weaker and weaker, and the wheezing sound of the centaur can be heard clearly in the light, no one dares to stop now. Maybe there is nothing difficult to low-grade with the two hundred Song army light cavalry just now, but if it is surrounded by the Song army's infantry at this time. Then there is only one dead end.
The Iron Harrier heavy cavalry, tired of men and horses, would not have been able to launch another assault.
It was getting farther and farther away from the sea of fire, and the sky was once again shrouded in darkness, and Mu Huali's heart was finally settled for three points, at least this showed that there was no mortal Song army in this vicinity. And you can already see the clear rut marks in front of you, and you can think that the grain and grass convoy is not far ahead.
"Speed up. Catch up with the convoy, and we'll be able to find someone to help unload this iron armor. Mu Huali looked around, everyone was tired and half dead, and had no fighting spirit, so he could only boost his fighting spirit in desperation.
However, his wishful thinking was made too soon.
In the barren grass on the side of the official road, signal fireworks rose into the air, cutting through the last curtain of the night.
The banner was unfurled, and the Song army foot soldiers of the brigade stood up from the hillsides on both sides, although they didn't say a word, but the black and pressed divine arm crossbow in their hands. can let all the iron harriers know that their death time has come, and the official road in front of them is already the road of death.
Mu Huali took a breath lightly, if there was anything else that could restrain the heavy armor of the Iron Harrier, then the Divine Arm Crossbow should be regarded as one. There was no need to rush forward now, because even if they rushed farther, the arrows whistling behind them could easily kill them.
"I've been waiting here for a long time." Yang Bao rode down from the hillside with a smile, and looked at these silent iron harriers with great interest. Several Song soldiers behind him sneered and took steps, but the horizontal crossbow of the divine arm did not move at all.
As long as there is the slightest movement of these iron harriers, the Divine Arm Crossbow can let them see and see. What kind of power is the strongest infantry crossbow in the world. Muhuali couldn't help but smile bitterly, the iron harrier has been crisscrossing the northwest for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be planted in this place today, and I don't know if this is "the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs".
"Die. Or ??????" Yang Bao said lightly, "Descend." ”
There is no second option. Mu Huali took a breath lightly, Ah Shu has the grace of appreciating him, even if the ** of survival at this time is extremely strong, it is impossible for him to surrender to the southern barbarians like this, it is better to kill vigorously!
And yet right behind him. There were a few strange movements, but several Iron Harrier cavalrymen who could no longer hold on fell from their kneeling horses, and lay on the ground motionless, not knowing if they had died of exhaustion in the wilderness.
You can't fight anymore, and if you fight again, it's not a vigorous battle at all, but a death sentence. Mu Huali felt inexplicably desolate in her heart, looked at Yang Bao with a somewhat complicated expression, and finally made up her mind to throw her blade to the ground.
Seeing the commander like this, the two hundred exhausted iron harriers no longer insisted, and the blood-stained blades were discarded, and most of the cavalry who had long since had their last breath left and were still barely holding on fell off their horses. Now that he has surrendered, the last tight string in his heart will break, and if he falls down like this, even if he doesn't die, he may not live long.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, but it was Ye Yingwu who came with a hundred battles, and when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This time it's cheaper for you, and you have cleaned up these iron harriers without doing anything here." ”
This is the first time Yang Bao has seen Ye Yingwu from Qizhou to Guangzhou, Ye Yingwu's tone is casual, he doesn't have such a big courage, and he bowed his hand respectfully at the moment: "The last general will see the envoy, if it is not for the envoy's careful arrangement, it will be difficult for the final general to do this." ”
Ye Yingwu shook his head with a smile: "It's been some time since I've been out, and my kung fu has really not weakened." ”
Jiang Tie and the others who were following Ye Yingwu immediately laughed, while Yang Bao could only scratch his head in embarrassment. It's just that Ye Yingwu quickly glared at the heartless Jiang Hao: "Pickaxe, you kid almost got into a big accident this time, and you dare to laugh here, let's go back and settle the score!" ”
Jiang Hao was stunned, and suddenly cried with a sad face and an ugly expression that was more ugly than anyone else. (To be continued.) )
