Chapter 181: Bloody Battle (2) [Ask for Recommendation!] 】
Hearing this, the Turkic general became angry, picked up the scabbard and smashed it on the head of the general, shouting: "How can you not rush in!" How can my cavalry be stopped by a little archer! Just charge in, I don't believe it's full of archers, and I can shoot cavalry every time! ”
The Turkic cavalry rushed into the city gate like a tide again, and at the moment of rushing into the city gate, dozens of horsemen were shot, but because the number of Turkic cavalry was too much, a hundred archers had to keep drawing arrows and shooting, and they could not stop at all, and the Turkic cavalry broke through the defense line in a moment. Before a hundred archers could retreat, they were overtaken by the Turkic cavalry and slaughtered in the blink of an eye.
After slaughtering the archers, the Turkic cavalry roared and rushed inside, but before they could take two steps, they were stopped by the prepared heavy cavalry. A thousand heavy cavalry formed a semicircle, enveloping the city gate perfectly. Seeing that the archers' defenses were breached, Yu Chi Baolin immediately ordered all the heavy cavalry to meet him. The Turkic cavalry had just rushed into the city gate, and the city gate was so small that the number of Turkic cavalry pouring in was too small, and as soon as the number was small, the combat range became smaller. As soon as he rushed into the city gate, he was surrounded and killed by heavy cavalry.
This time, the city gate was defended by heavy cavalry, and a thousand heavy cavalry were divided into two groups, and a wave stood directly under the city gate, guarding the city gate, coming to kill one, and killing two to kill a pair. The other half of the heavy cavalry narrowed the semi-arc encirclement and remained on the perimeter. Under the steel armor of the heavy cavalry, the Turkic cavalry could not attack with all their might, but was killed by the heavy cavalry and lost their armor. When the Turkic generals learned the news, they immediately ordered the infantry, which had not yet climbed the city walls, to attack the city gate to meet the heavy cavalry. The Turkic generals knew very well in their hearts that the agility of the heavy cavalry was not good, and the victory was high in defense and high combat power, and their own cavalry and heavy cavalry would definitely be invincible in a head-to-head encounter. But the infantry is different, in a small place, not only the cavalry of their own side cannot be used, but also the heavy cavalry, while the infantry is small and light and can move in the middle.
The fact was similar to what the Turkic generals expected, after the infantry attacked the city gate, they kept pounced on the heavy cavalry, circling the heavy cavalry. The heavy cavalry was too heavy to keep up with the speed of the Turkic infantry, and not only could it not effectively kill the Turkic infantry, but it was a mount under the crotch, and the horse's belly was repeatedly attacked by the Turkic infantry.
The last time the Turkic 10,000 cavalry were defeated by the Jade Dragon Guard, the Hui Turks understood the details of the Jade Dragon Guard and knew the weaknesses of the other party. Since you can't cut the armor, then cut it where there is no armor to protect it, and the only place that is not protected is the belly of the horse, as long as the horse is hacked to death, the heavy cavalry loses the advantage of the mount and becomes the heavy infantry.
Under the attack of the Turkic infantry, half of the heavy cavalry guarding the city gate was soon unable to support it, and nearly one-third of the horses were hacked to death by the Turkic infantry. The heavy cavalry could only abandon the war horse and change from heavy cavalry to heavy infantry. However, the heavy cavalry turned into heavy infantry, which could effectively resist and counterattack the Turkic infantry, and with the support of the other half of the heavy cavalry behind him, the Turkic army could not break through the city gate for a while.
Wei Hong didn't put armor on the horse's belly because he was worried about affecting the movement of the war horse and making it impossible for the horse to run. It can be said that the horse's belly is the only cover door for the heavy cavalry, but since even the Turks know about this cover door, how could Wei Hong not take precautions. Every heavy cavalry is an upgraded version of the heavy infantry, with a horse is a heavy cavalry, and without a horse is a heavy infantry. The only difference from the heavy infantry is that the equipment of the heavy infantry cannot be connected to the war horse, and the saber of the heavy cavalry is not as strong as the Tang sword of the heavy infantry.
Nearly an hour and a half had passed since the beginning of the war, and although the city gates were blown up, the Turkic army did not penetrate into the interior of the Horsehair Mountain. However, the war was still not optimistic, most of the regular 2,000 defenders were damaged, and the combat strength was less than 800. Although the Jade Dragon Guard is protected by heavy armor, it has more or less losses, and because the armor is too heavy and consumes too much physical strength, the combat effectiveness of the Jade Dragon Guard is also declining rapidly. The so-called half-ninety for those who travel a hundred miles, the more difficult it is to defend the back, and there is still an hour before Qin Shubao will lead the main force to maneuver, and this hour is very important at the moment. To put it mildly, the safety of the entire Datang is condensed in this hour.
As the defenders became less and less, there were gradually gaps in the defense, and although Wei Hong had tried his best to command nearby troops to fill the past, it was still unable to meet the needs of the battlefield. In the end, Wei Hong, who had been dodging and not fighting hand-to-hand with the Turks, was really out of options, so he could only carry a knife and go into battle in person.
Wei Hong has never killed anyone in his life, and if he insists on saying it, it is the death sentence he gave Sun Zihang when he was in Hangzhou. At this time, he personally went to the battlefield, and Wei Hong found that his little fist and embroidered legs were not enough at all, and he quickly realized how cruel the battlefield of blood and bones was.
Because Wei Hong is the commander of the front line, his identity is not ordinary, once there is the slightest mistake, the entire front line will be leaderless, even if Li Jing is in the rear, he will be out of reach. Therefore, Wei Hong did not rush up desperately, but kept hiding behind the heavy infantry, seeing which Turkic soldier was left alone, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to go up to make up for it. This kind of stabbing the black knife has been quite effective, at least after Wei Hong slaughtered three Turkic soldiers, he was still not damaged at all.
