Chapter 131: Charging into battle
Cao's offensive became more and more fierce, they were numerous, relying on the interval of the siege to take turns to recuperate, there were only 3,000 people in the northern city, but everyone was exhausted at the moment, even Deng Ai and Han Ping were also full of bloodshots, and the only thing that could be used in the city was the 600 fresh troops who were recuperating and recuperating, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers who guarded the prisoners, but the more than 1,000 people could not move easily, and the 4,000 tigers and wolves had to be taken care of.
The defenders of the surrounding city walls took turns, Deng Ai seemed to have reached the end of the road, looking at the soldiers in the city, Deng Ai had no choice but to order: "Order, the six hundred men and horses in the city should quickly go to the north city to garrison!" ”
"Whoa!" A guard responded. Han Ping was on the side, glanced at Deng Ai, but didn't say much, only silent at the moment, supporting the erosive battle situation.
Under the city, Le Jin watched the rising sun rise from the east for a long time, he knew very well that the defenders of Nanxiang had reached an unbearable critical point, and most of the reserves left in the city were to be used.
Sure enough, Lejin had just finished breakfast, and he was a meticulous person, although in the army, every meal must be exquisite and hearty. I saw a general who was in charge of the main attack on the city came to Le Jin: "General, the defenders of the city suddenly became more powerful, and their combat effectiveness has increased a lot, it seems that their reserves have come up!" ”
Le Jin nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Let the east do it!" ”
"Whoa!" The general beside him slowly agreed, and slowly retreated.
Le Jin got up, picked up the sword at his side, and said in a long voice: "Prepare armor for me, I will eat lunch in Nanxiang City today!" When the guards on his side heard this, someone immediately found a armor from the tent and put it on with Lejin.
Deng Ai suddenly felt a little more pressure on the front, and Cao Jun suddenly pressed up the soldiers and horses, and even the banner of Lejin began to move towards the city. Deng Ai smiled bitterly, Le Jin really deserves to be the general of the Cao Army, and his grasp of the battle situation is really tight.
Deng Ai knew that this was the last moment, looking at the trembling head of the Huang family beside him, Deng Ai said slowly: "Those captives are handed over to your private soldiers and county soldiers to guard. Is it possible? ”
The middle-aged man dressed as a scribe was a little fat, but at this moment he could only nod his head and promise, he put all his bets on the young general in front of him, and could only help him with all his might.
Deng Ai took a breath. There are more than 1,000 living forces, and they can more or less block the offensive of Cao's army in Dongcheng.
In the afternoon, Cao Jun really launched a fierce attack in Dongcheng, Han Ping had already arranged defenses in Dongcheng and was in charge of defense, I believe that in a short time, there will be no bad situation, but Deng Ai knows that this is just an expedient measure, maybe. Cao Jun already has reinforcements coming here from afar, and he has been guarding the first day of the new year, but he can't hold on to fifteen.
Subconsciously looked at the Northeast, Deng Ai could only bet that Huo Yi would come back to save him.
Li He almost went crazy laughing, this team is really not bad. Hidden in the mountains and forests, he suddenly launched an offensive against the eastern city, and countless black-clothed armored soldiers crashed into the city made of blue bricks, which was very spectacular.
Li He drew his sword and got on his horse, he knew that the time had come for him to make meritorious contributions. I attacked the new force of this Cao army, I am afraid that Deng Ai will happily hug his thigh and call his brother, Li He thought.
After a night's rest, the horsemen were well nourished, and the soldiers ate their dry rations and began to inspect their equipment. The crossbow machine should be equipped with arrows, the shield should be placed, the saber should be placed in a place where it is convenient for you, the spear should be tightened again, and the equipment of the war horse should be put in order. You can't drop the chain in the battle, and the armor on your body is neatly dressed, even before the battle, you should also pay attention to the appearance of the army.
Wait until the soldiers have sorted out their weapons, each of them got on their horses, arranged their formations on the avenue on the side of the mountain, and returned to their respective buildings, holding the crossbow machine in their hands.
Li He was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, Li He turned to look at Liu He behind him, Liu He was a little nervous, this was the first time he had experienced such a big battle as a tooth general, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
Li He raised the war spear in his hand, and the red spear seemed to be dripping with blood: "Nanxiang Chengdongcheng, kill!" ”
"Kill!" All the generals roared in unison, and Li He's war horse immediately stood out, shooting like an arrow towards the black and oppressive Cao Army's infantry formation. The knights behind him lined up in a long formation, and they all collided under the heels of Nanxiang Chengdongcheng.
Cao Jun's more than 10,000 foot soldiers are all elite men and horses of Lejin, they are moving towards the city after they can plunder, and they will inevitably gain a lot, you must know that Nanxiang City is relatively rich in the county.
Behind them there was the sound of horses' hooves, as if it was a precursor to a flood, countless ladders and well railings were slowly approaching the east city, and even many of them had already been erected on the head of the city, many Cao soldiers had already gone up the ladder, and the archers under the city were constantly sending arrows to suppress the head of the city.
Cao Jun on the well fence first spotted the surprise attack of the red cavalry.
They collapsed, the red cavalry, only the Jingzhou people can wear red armor, this is Huo Yi's cavalry!
Under the eastern city is an open field, where the only result of the confrontation with the cavalry is destruction, and they have no way to retreat, and behind them is the Nanxiang city wall.
The general who led the Cao army was obviously an experienced one, and when he was so urgent, he actually drank coldly: "Formation!" The front army continues to besiege the city! The rear army formed a spear formation to slow down their offensive! ”
More than 10,000 Cao troops have formed countless formations, which is worthy of being the elite of Lejin. But Li He is obviously not a mediocre hand, the enemy army formed an early formation, so that Li He has time to react, he divided his hands, and the cavalry of the brigade was immediately divided into two long dragons, and rushed to both sides of the foot soldiers, without the threat of spears, slashing and killing Cao Jun from both sides, it was really like chopping melons and vegetables.
Seeing that the enemy general was so astute, the commander of the Cao army knew that this time, it was over, Li He's men and horses were only 7,000, but in the open field, the infantry who were scattered by the cavalry could only be cut down.
Those wells and ladders seemed to be paper-paste, and they were pulled down by Li He's cavalry and smashed into the Cao army's array, which was even more chaotic.
Han Ping was still frightened by the momentum of the enemy army, and at the second moment, he could only open his mouth wide, looking at the red cavalry like falling from the sky, his eyes were full of tears at this moment, he was ready to die, but he picked up his life at the critical moment and came back, at this time his eyes looked at Li He, who was leading the fight, but it was as kind as seeing his wife.
The city made a pot of porridge, the Cao army was scattered, the leading general was cut apart from the cavalry and the men and horses under his command, the Jingzhou cavalry did a lot of these things, fighting foot soldiers, the first thing was to charge the formation, followed by dividing the battlefield, exterminating on the spot, and then collecting and suppressing the remnants of the enemy and chasing the fugitives.
Han Ping saw the excitement of the fight under the city, and he shouted even more: "Shoot the enemy with crossbow arrows, pick up the place where there are many enemy soldiers and shoot arrows, have long eyes, don't shoot down your own people, that will be a loss of Dire's face!" Turning around, Li was stunned to settle accounts with me, I can't spare you! ”
"Whoa!" These shooters are all good at shooting, and they are shooting from places where there are many enemy soldiers, how can they shoot down their own people?
Le Jin was commanding his subordinates to attack the city wall with all their strength in the north city, but a herald crashed into the middle of the battle, covered in blood, and knelt in front of Le Jin: "General! I came to ask for help on the orders of the general of the left vanguard! A large group of cavalry rushed to Jingzhou, and the offensive of our army collapsed immediately, and our army has collapsed, please send troops to rescue as soon as possible! ”
Le Jin's face turned pale when he heard this, he was stunned in place, the Jingzhou army reacted so quickly, Deng County came here, such a distance, and he was actually killed before he captured the city.
Le Jin pursed his lips unwillingly, and said slowly: "Transfer the 5,000 cavalry left in the camp and send them to the east, be sure to expel the Jingzhou cavalry, and keep the living force on the left as much as possible!" ”
The herald took the order and departed.
Le Jin looked at the north city wall under the impact of his own troops, but it was like a reef in the sea, and he didn't move, and he was inexplicably a little irritable in his heart.
Deng Ai has been paying attention to the movements in the east, and always sends scouts to pay attention, he knows very well that once the eastern front collapses, it is useless for him to defend here, just when he is anxious, a tooth will rush to the city.
Deng Ai's inexplicable heart darkened, this tooth general is the tooth general of the East City, and he is here at this moment, isn't it?
