Chapter Ninety-Seven: Yuanfang Invades the Ancient Road, and Qingcui Connects the Deserted City (10)

After the end of the discussion in the evening, the knife meteor returned to the village outside Xiaoling City as usual, just arrived at the head of the village knife meteor felt wrong, the former village entrance was replaced by quiet, a gust of wind blew over and brought the smell of blood, the knife meteor hurriedly ran to the village, ran into the village, the scene in front of him made Otsuka faint, the village was full of corpses, most of the houses were burned, the knife meteor only felt that his legs were weak, he was cold, and hurriedly ran to the boarding house, the most worried thing finally happened, All four members of the family were killed in the house, and the two children died with tears on their faces.

Knife Meteor knelt on the ground, clenched his saber, screamed, and trembled. At this time, he heard someone outside the house say Japanese, rushed out, only to see four Japanese soldiers standing in the courtyard with knives, they saw the knife meteor with a knife, immediately became nervous, the knife meteor couldn't help but say that the knife rushed over, after killing four people, he felt exhausted, he was afraid that more Japanese ninjas would come, so he knocked down the house and buried the body of a family of four.

He didn't expect that in order to attack the city, the Japanese slaves actually adopted a sweeping policy and killed all the villages scattered around Xiaoling City.

At this time, following the defeat of Yizhou City, Zong Yiqi, the governor of the Mashima clan who rushed from Jianzhou, led two thousand ninjas to dare to make peace with Hattori Heiji, Duo Yanli was thundered and angry by Boyan Hanji, and he had a grudge against the soldiers of Yizhou City, and decided to attack Xiaoling Castle at night.

Zong Yiqi's 2,000 ninja horses gathered under Xiaoling City and shouted to Li Chengliang under the city: "Thief, quickly open the city gate, you can avoid death, otherwise the heavenly army will attack the city, and there will be no place to bury you." ”

"A Japanese thief who speaks wildly! Do you know the shame of your face? Failed to persuade him to surrender, but now he is using the next three indiscriminate means to massacre the villagers around my Xiaoling City! More hateful than the Zhiyuan dog! Our country is a country of etiquette, how can you and other small people trample on it, it is easy to die in battle, but it is difficult to surrender. Li Chengliang shouted to Zong Yiqi.

Zong Yiqi was embarrassed and angry, looked at Duo Yanli on the side, Duo Yanli nodded, and then ordered the siege of the city, thousands of yuan, and the Japanese coalition army set up a ladder and began to attack the city!

Xia Mucai fell asleep, and listened to the sword meteor to pray, and suddenly became furious, this three-light policy of small Japan seems to be a bad habit left by the ancestors, and he is wearing it in the house at the moment, so he listened to the ancestor Dashou came to pray, Duo Yanli led 10,000 horses and raided Xiaoling City!

Xia Mu hurriedly dared to go to the head of Xiaoling City, this Xiaoling City is not bigger than Yizhou City, the city wall is in disrepair, there are tens of thousands of people in the city, but there are only 4,000 soldiers deployed by Li Chengliang, he came from Yizhou City to inspect, who would have thought that Duo Yanli suddenly attacked, so he did not bring soldiers.

At this moment, there are 2,000 defenders in the city who are Zheng Zhilong's Ningxia border guards, who have been fighting with the Japanese slaves all the year round, so they are familiar with it.

It's a pity that Xiaoling City is in disrepair, the Japanese army quickly climbed the city wall under the cover of three iron cannons of Duoyanli and fought with the Ningxia army, Zheng Zhilong commanded everyone to block the Japanese army who climbed to the top of the city, under the fire of the iron cannon of the Yuan army, the Ningxia army retreated one after another, Zheng Zhilong saw his army retreating, he was anxious, and personally picked up the broadsword to slash the Japanese soldiers who rushed over, but unfortunately was hit in the chest by the iron cannon and died.

Xia Mu was protected in the middle, looking at Zheng Zhilong's veteran blood stained on the spot, his eyes suddenly turned red, the Zheng family is the first one in Jiangnan given by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, ten generations lasted for two hundred years, and there were 100 Qing officials and more than 30 generals. Now he is loyal to his country!

Li Chengliang rushed into the city with his men and horses, and the Ningxia army and the people used bows and arrows and bird guns and stones to fight in the streets with the Duoyan soldiers, and all the 4,000 Ningxia troops were killed. Then the Yuan army's massacre of the people in the city began immediately, more than 30,000 people were driven together to be slaughtered, the elderly, women and children were not spared, after killing all the people in Xiaoling City, Zong Yiqi's soldiers burned all the houses in the city.

When Zong Yiqi attacked Xiaoling City, Boyan Hanji's large army was attacking Shanhaiguan.

Yang Bo, who guarded the mountain customs, and Wu Zhongyong organized the resistance of the army and people in the city, and the residents of the city continued to move the wood and stones to the city wall, Wu Zhongyong since the last time he was insulted by Boyan Hanji, he had murderous intentions, and at this moment saw the Yuan army killing, he hurriedly commanded the army and the people to repel several attacks by the Boyan Hanji army, the Tartars under the city suffered heavy casualties, Boyan Hanji was furious, and personally commanded the whole army to attack, the Tartars under the city took turns to shoot at the city with iron cannons, and the defenders of the city were suppressed by the iron cannons, and the Tartars finally landed on the top of the city!

Yang Bo is the secretary of the military department, but perennial in the Shanhaiguan with the Tartars to fight, at this moment personally lifted a knife, slashed, split a Tartar in half, after the fierce city head of the five hundred defenders did not surrender all killed, only to repel the attack of Boyan Hanji.

At this time, Xia Mu was protected by Li Chengliang, and more than 300 Ningxia troops followed by Zu Dashou and Dao Meteor, and fought a bloody way from Xiaoling City. Who knew that when he walked out of the Xiaoling River in the suburbs, the Tartars in the distance, the roaring horses suddenly slowed down the wild gallop, surging and grinding to about a stone's throw away, and then slowly stopped.

With a wave of the battle flag, the Tartar bearded sword knight formation in front of them roared apart, and the big banner and the veteran Ergu riding on a fiery horse poured out in the middle.

I saw Ergu's long hair scattered on his shoulders, and a shiny long bronze knife in his hand was raised, and he suddenly laughed hoarsely: "Hey——! I said, little doll, just you pimple soldiers, want to stop us from riding Hu? It's just a delusion——! ”

Xia Mugao sat on his horse, looked directly at Ergu, raised his halberd angrily, and shouted: "The general of the defeated army, An dares to speak bravely, and he will not fight to the death!" ”

The three hundred black-helmeted and black-armored Ningxia cavalry in the rear were waiting for the battle, with snow-white swords in their hands, towering like a forest, wearing three-eyed fire guns on their waists, and their horses straddled shields, and the whole army was like a black tide, terrifyingly quiet, without a trace of words.

Ergu looked at the strict governance of the Ming army, and he couldn't help but feel a kind of admiration in his heart. He was lying high in the middle army, the left wing was Hattori Heiji, the front army was Zong Yiqi, and the flank was Duoyan's army.

When he saw that the big array was arranged, he waved the big flag in his hand, revealing a hideous look, and roared angrily: "The soldiers are arrayed, and there is no return to kill the enemy!" ”

Suddenly, the Tartar army was scattered into three large arrays like mountains and seas, and with a roar from Ergu, ten thousand horses galloped, and it was so powerful that even the earth felt trembling.

Xia Mu saw very clearly on the horse, and when he saw me answering the array, the command flag in his hand was split, and a hundred charge horns sounded like thunder!

The three hundred Ningxia troops in the center stood still, and when the cavalry rushed to a place of fifty or sixty paces and half an arrow, a sharp horn sounded to stop Xingyun!

Suddenly, Ningxia, who was on the horse, picked up the three-eyed bird gun, "Huh! Immediately, Qi Qi stood on horseback, and the sound of gunfire rained down on the charging Tartar cavalry.

The firearms of the Ming army shocked East Asia, while the grassland soldiers were cavalry and archery, without heavy armor, and the target was very large, and the damage was easier.

In the blink of an eye, the iron eggs swarmed like locusts, and not a single shot was missed.

Suddenly, the Tartar roared and shook the sky, either falling to the ground with a bang, or jumping back wildly!

Xia Mu sneered, and the order flag in his hand was split again, and the formation of the three hundred Ningxia troops behind him changed greatly, with a large arc for every thousand people, a total of five layers, and when one layer was fired, he immediately squatted down, and the back row continued to shoot, so that the waves were undulating and unmistakable, and the bullets poured over like a torrential rain!

The knight of the Tartars, who didn't even touch the figure of the Ming soldiers, was always forced out of an arrow by the continuous dense rain of arrows, screaming wildly and unable to get close.

In a matter of moments, the Tartar cavalry formation of five or six thousand people was in chaos, trampling on each other, and rushing wildly towards the mountains and fields on all sides!

Seeing that the firearms of the Ming army actually blocked the cavalry, Ergu snorted angrily, and the two command flags in his hands split east and west at the same time!

Suddenly, on the eastern and western fields, two cavalry brigades, led by Duo Yanli, roared out and swept towards the flank of the Ming cavalry.

This is the special tactics of the Tartars, the purpose is to deal with the firearms of the Ming army, the Tartars do not have many firearms, and the frontal attack on the enemy is hugely damaged, but the three sides of the assault at the same time, you can take advantage of the advantage of a large number of people, attack it unprepared.

At this time, Xia Mu saw the Tartar cavalry killing, snorted coldly in his heart, put down the order flag, and pulled out the embroidered spring knife at his waist, and then the cavalry behind him also drew out the long sword.

Xia Mu saw that the soldiers were ready to charge, and the long knife pointed at the Ergu of the Chinese army, and shouted: "Killing the enemy is today, and there will be no truce in China!" ”

"Go to the national disaster together......"

The three hundred Ningxia cavalry suddenly roared, and with Li Chengliang and Xia Mu, they rushed to kill.

For a time, Xiaoling River, thousands of horses galloping, smoke and dust, only to see the opposite side of the 10,000 yuan Japanese coalition army, mixed with foot and horse, like a tide to kill.

And the three hundred Ningxia cavalry were like a flat boat on this tide, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by dense Tatar soldiers, and then they were white and black, blood was sprinkled in the air, and the sound of fighting, screaming, and neighing of war horses flooded the entire battlefield.

Xia Mu stood in the distance, watching the battle, followed by thirty brocade guards, who were specially sent to protect him.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield changed greatly, and I saw that Li Chengliang, who was surrounded by the enemy, waved the command flag, and the three-zhang high flag around him waved greatly from east to west.

And as soon as the banner moved, the Ningxia cavalry behind him spread out in a line, and suddenly the line expanded, like boundless dark clouds pressing towards the Tartar soldiers and the last Chinese army from the sky!

At the same time, the Duoyanli array in the south, with Ergu's order, also launched, dropped the bow and crossbow, and used the iron shield and thick-backed broadsword as high as a person, and pressed towards the three hundred cavalry of the Ming army like a white city wall with the rumbling rhythm of the war drums.

The north and south immediately became a flanking attack, and the three hundred Ningxia iron horsemen in the middle, following their respective flag commanders, immediately dispersed and divided into two triangular pyramid formations, each killing the enemy, echoing each other from afar.

At this time, 300 Ningxia iron cavalry slashed violently, and it was about to be completely buried by 10,000 Tartars......

In the distance, Xia Mugao sat on a war horse, and remained silent, at this time, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered.

I saw the Chinese army's banner swinging slowly, and the sound of ten huge gongs was also "booming——! ——! It rang out.

Behind him, thirty brocade guards, wearing bullfighting tents, got on the horse together, and waited behind Xia Mu.

Xia Mu looked at the boundless sea of people, and when he looked back, he saw that in Xiaoling City, the flames were soaring into the sky.

Two lines of tears fell from his eyes!

The place where he returned in peace was his Xia Mu's grave.

He was also wondering why he was so desperate and so enthusiastic, could it be that he crossed over and was going to die in battle.

But today he knows: there is always a death in life, death from Hongmao, death from Mount Tai...... Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!

"Kill ------"

Xia Mu roared, sat down on the fierce horse, roared, and the smoke and dust under the hooves rose loudly, killing towards the rushing tide.

Behind the thirty brocade guards, raising the embroidered spring knife in his hand, each young Yinghua, the eyes are fearless, it is really a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, with thirty in the face of 10,000 soldiers, and it is not timid, each angrily raised his halberd, and he was not afraid of death and charged away.

Ergu was watching the overall situation at this time, and suddenly, he saw a small team of men and horses in the distance, but it was a black war horse and black cloak, like a black lightning, straight into his own banner!

He hurriedly stood up, only to see that the person who took the lead was dressed in battle armor, and the knights behind him were wearing copper masks and crescent moon embroidered spring knives in their hands, flickering with light, and in an instant, they approached the banner of the front army.

At this time, the Tartar soldiers were suddenly stunned: Who dared to charge alone? If the lord does not control the overall situation, how dare he lead the troops to charge!

Before the Tartar army and Ergu could recover their senses, they heard a long and miserable howl in the sea of people. Suddenly, the black lightning flew back again, but everyone was carrying a bloody human head in their hands!

Ergu couldn't help but gasp, the thirty brocade guards behind Xia Mu were so fierce, and then waved the big flag in his hand and shouted: "The machine crossbow arrow array is ready!" ”
