Chapter 227: Winning by Surprise
Tian Yu's knife cut the first soldier who climbed the city wall into two sections, and the people around him were all shocked, and they opened their eyes wide one by one and held their breath, for fear that the next knife would hit their heads.
For a moment, there was silence on the city walls.
A cloud ladder, five zhang high, leaned against the city wall from the corner of the wall, at this moment there are more than a dozen soldiers with shields on their heads, carrying steel knives, climbing up like ants climbing trees, but the top few people were shocked by Tian Yusheng's feat of chopping soldiers, forgot to act for a while, and looked blankly at the two bloody corpses that fell to the city......
"Roar ......"
Tian Yu shouted, pinned the saber to his waist, took a step forward, grabbed the ladder with both hands, and threw the ladder off the wall with all his strength......
Some fell into the moat and fainted from the water; Some people fell to the ground, broke their muscles and bones, and screamed miserably; There are also people who unfortunately fall on their weapons and are pierced by sharp blades; A life whimper; What's more, under his head and feet, he lost his helmet during the fall, and his head hit the hard ground at once, and his brains splashed all over the ground......
Tian Yu's anger erupted, which greatly boosted the morale of the army at the South City Gate, and all the soldiers and civilians shouted in unison, everyone scrambled to be the first, and each fought to the death, driving down the Black Mountain thieves who climbed to the top of the city.
After all, there is only one Tianyu in Dingxiang City, but there are four city walls. Although the south gate repelled a wave of onslaught from the thieves, the other three gates were already in danger. Dingxiang is already in danger!
At this moment, General Ding Sheng led more than a dozen personal soldiers, rushed from the east gate to the south gate, grabbed Tian Yu's arm and said: "Too guarded, the thieves are strong, I'm afraid Dingxiang can't hold it, let's break through, right?" The last general leads the way, and Taishou follows! ”
Listening to Ding Sheng's words, Tian Yu was furious, and his beard was all open. Angrily said: "The villagers give up life and forget death. Help me defend the city. The young ones are like Zhang Ergou, and the older ones are like the grandfathers of the two dogs, and they are all bloody in the city. The people are still fighting to the death, and I, Tian Yu, am the Taishou. How can you leave the people behind? If I depart. The full name is all living beings! ”
looked at Tian Yu's gritted teeth. Ding Sheng lowered his head in shame and argued: "I...... I'm also for the good of Lord Taishou! ”
"Dare to quibble? I have repeatedly decreed that the city is in the people, and the city is dead! You are a general. Don't fight to the death at the head of the city, but lead the soldiers to run around, shaking the hearts of the army, who will defend the city? If you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of keeping you? ”
Before the words fell, the knife flashed, and one of Ding Sheng's heads had already landed.
Tian Yu held a steel knife in his hand, stood at the head of the city, let the autumn wind blow his messy hair, and shouted angrily: "All the sergeants listen to the order, Ding Sheng has been with me for many years, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, I have beheaded him on the spot." If anyone dares to escape, this is the end! Today, the city is in the people, the city is dead, everyone is trying to kill the thief, kill one without losing money, kill a pair to earn one. If they can repel this siege of the thieves, reinforcements from Hanoi will arrive tomorrow, and the villagers will be able to live! ”
"The city is in the people, the city is dead, and the people are dead, and they swear to live and die together with Dingxiang!"
Listening to Tian Yu's agitation, seven or eight thousand soldiers and people, old and weak women and children shouted in unison, plucked up their courage again, and desperately blocked the onslaught of the Black Mountain thieves, and the white-knuckle battle on the city wall fell into a stalemate again.
The blood-red sunset gradually sank in the west, and the sky slowly darkened.
Zhang Yan stood under the banner of Shuai, overlooking the battle for the head of the city, only to see that the Black Mountain Army was about to succeed again and again, but he could always be encouraged by Tian Yu to boost his morale and drive the first dead soldiers who climbed to the top of the city to the city, and couldn't help but praise him: "What a Tian Yu, there is indeed a set of demagoguery in this regard!" However, with two more charges, the city can be broken, and I see how long you can hold on? ”
"Report ......"
A scout came from the south with a long cavity and galloping horses.
"What?" Zhang Yan stared intently at the city, holding the reins in one hand and the horsewhip in the other, looking as steady as Mount Tai, and asked in a deep voice.
Scout Le Ma reported: "Back to General Zhaolie's words, a cavalry came from the south, under the banner of our Montenegrin army, is rapidly approaching us from far and near, please make a decision quickly!" ”
"Cavalry? Where did it come from? Zhang Yan muttered to herself with a puzzled face.
Yu Poison next to him interjected: "Almost all of the people who should have come are here, is this cavalry a reinforcement of the bitter cocklea?" ”
Zhang Yan's eyes tightened, and he said in a low voice: "There is a team of more than 2,000 men and horses under the command of Ku Oyster, but he has always been reluctant to send them to the battlefield, this time to attack the city, there is no cavalry, will he send cavalry to help in the battle?" ”
With a wave of the horsewhip, he ordered: "Yu Poison, lead your men and horses to see, which tribe's reinforcements are coming?" ”
"Got it!"
Yu Poison agreed, and beckoned his subordinates: "Little ones, follow Ben Qushuai to the south to see, which tribe is coming?" Damn I don't even pay attention to General Zhaolie's words, we have been fighting to the death under the city for a few days, and this group of dogs is only here now, what a fucking bastard! ”
With Yu Poison's whistle, the 3,000 men and horses who had been guarding Zhang Yan behind them rushed south, following Yu Poison southward.
However, with a cup of tea, Yu Poison led the Black Mountain Army under his command to meet the oncoming cavalry.
"Hey...... The brother on the other side paused for a moment, and Zhang Zhaolie asked me to ask, which tribe is coming? Why the hell came so late, I don't even take General Zhaolie in my eyes! Do you still want to mix on Taihang Mountain in the future? ”
Yu Poison immediately stabbed and shouted loudly at the other side, his hoarse voice flickering.
The cavalry that came was none other than the reinforcements from Hanoi led by Wang Shuang and Xu Shu.
From Hanoi to Dingxiang 700 miles, this 3,000-strong cavalry rushed all the way, but the autumn rain continued, so it took four or five days to come to Dingxiang City.
When passing through Yangqu, Xu Shu offered a plan to Wang Shuang, ordering the soldiers to catch up with many banners of the Montenegrin army at night, and when the time came, they launched a surprise attack on the Montenegrin bandits.
After entering the territory of Dingxiang, after hearing the report of the spies that the thieves were attacking the city in a hurry, Xu Shu ordered the whole army to put on the clothes of the people outside the armor, and under the banner of Montenegro, as much as possible to deceive the spies of the Montenegrin army scouts.
The Montenegrin army was originally a rabble, there was no uniform clothing, and the soldiers were dressed in a mess; After Wang Shuang's men and horses wrapped themselves in ordinary clothes outside, they marched all the way to Dingxiang under the banner of Montenegro, and sure enough, they successfully deceived the scouts of the Montenegrin thieves, making them think that they were accomplices, and reported the news to Zhang Yan. Until Yu Poison's men and horses met this officer and soldier head-on, I didn't know where this cavalry came from?
Wang Shuangyi took the lead and led the team to run forward. No one answered, but rode straight on their horses and charged, killing the poisonous team, three thousand iron horsemen, and rolling up the dust in the sky.
"Hey...... Can't you hear what Lao Tzu said? ”
Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, Yu Poison was a little flustered. The team behind him is all foot soldiers, and if he is rushed in by this cavalry, he will be enough to drink a pot of his own horse!
"What the fuck? Could it be that the officers and soldiers were disguised? ”
Yu Poison seemed to have woken up and ordered: "Swing the horse pistol, release the antlers and thorns!" ”
It's a pity that it was too late when Yu Poison noticed it, and the first white feather rider was already only fifty zhang away from the Black Mountain Thief.
"The whole army will release the arrows, shoot me hard!" The king waved the tiger roaring sword in both hands and ordered in a loud voice.
Bai Yu rode on the gallop without stopping, and they all drew their bows and arrows on the horses, and with the sound of "whoosh", the arrows poured down towards the black mountain thieves like a torrential rain......
With the rain of arrows in the sky, the Montenegrin army fell like a wave of wheat.
The distance is so close, this special bow and arrow is far more powerful than ordinary bows and crossbows, the arrows of the white feather rider are almost indispensable, a wave of arrows rained over, and more than a thousand black mountain thieves fell, even Qu Shuai Yu Poison was hit by two arrows, one arrow hit the shoulder, and one arrow hit the hip......
"It's amazing, the officers and soldiers are here!"
In one face, the officers and soldiers shot and killed more than 1,000 Montenegrin troops with almost no loss of horses, only to frighten the poisonous men and horses, and they all threw away their armor and turned back to flee for their lives. Yu Poison couldn't stop it, so he had to follow the back and move closer to the place where the main force was.
"Pursuit!"
Wang Shuangyi took the lead and moved forward. Xue Lihong rushed into the defeated Black Mountain thieves like a lightning speed, and his hands rose and fell, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the heads of the people he killed rolled wildly.
The cavalry and archery ability of the white feather cavalry has been perfected, while pursuing the infantry, while galloping on the horse, where the bowstring sounds, there will be thieves who will be shot down, and the screams come and go.
Wang Shuang rushed left and right among the thieves, as if entering a no-man's land, there was no enemy in front of the horse, and in a moment he chased to the side of Yu Poison, and the knife fell, cutting down the black mountain Qu Shuai off the horse, and then backhanded, took the head, and hung it in front of the horse.
Billowing smoke and dust, shaking the sky and the sun. Under the fierce charge of the 3,000 iron cavalry, the 3,000 Black Mountain Army led by Yu Poison was caught off guard, and almost all the troops were wiped out, either killed by random arrows, or trampled into meat by horses' hooves.
In addition to the 3,000 foot soldiers taken away by Yu Yan to protect him, only 2,000 cavalry were left and right to guard him. When he heard the screams behind him, he knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to go out to meet the enemy and intercept this inexplicable cavalry.
Before the two cavalry met, the galloping power of Bai Yu on the horse was revealed, the horses did not stop, but the knights could gallop on the horse, and another wave of arrow rain passed, shooting down more than 300 people of the cavalry of the Black Mountain thieves, and the rest of the people were timid and retreated, and the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army was suddenly in chaos.
Xu Shu was mixed in the army, saw Zhang Yan's handsome banner at a glance, and reminded Wang Shuang loudly: "General Ziquan, under that handsome banner must be the thief Zhang Yan, if you can take his head, the Montenegrin thief will definitely be defeated!" ”
"Okay, look at me and take the head of Zhang Yan, the traitor!"
Wang Shuang agreed, danced the knife on the horse, the tiger roaring mountain knife in his hand, the crotch was red in the snow, and rushed straight towards the banner of the Black Mountain Army. (To be continued......)
