Chapter 24: Sending Troops (I)
Under the coercion of Qin's sabers and guns, thousands of Korean people helped the old and the young, and came to Yewang City crying. Their faces were full of horror, and their steps were staggering.
The tens of thousands of Qin troops behind him were mixed with the Korean people, beating the people who were moving slowly from time to time. For those who stagnated and exchanged ears, the Qin army directly cut them to the ground. The scene was horrific.
Looking at the Qin army that was getting closer and closer, each Korean archer angrily clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, and the arrow was always aimed at the enemy army under the city. Although he has the intention to kill the thief, he is afraid of accidentally hurting the people, and the contradiction is extreme.
Looking at the archers at the head of the city, the Qin army shouted as a threat to the Korean people.
"Don't kill me! I am Tian Laohan from Wangguanzhuang in the north of the city! A few days ago, I brought you military rations! ”
"Two dog babies! I'm your father! Tell your brothers not to shoot arrows! ”
"We are the people of South Korea, don't hurt the good people by mistake!"
The captain in charge of the command of the head of the Wild King Castle had a tingling scalp, and immediately ordered the archers to retreat and replace them with crossbowmen. Although crossbow arrows are inconvenient to load, they are much more accurate than bows and arrows.
However, the Qin army was hidden among the people, and occasionally a few Qin soldiers were killed by arrows, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation. Under the laissez-faire of the Han army, the Qin army finally reached the city wall.
The five hundred lords of the Qin army were overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly drove the people to attack the city. As a result, the unarmed people were driven up the ladder, and from time to time there were people who were overly nervous or infirm, and fell down the ladder and fell into mud. Finally, some people succeeded in climbing the city, but they often sat on the head of the city and no longer had the strength to stand up.
"Uncle, get up quickly! The head of the city is dangerous. ”
Seeing that the old man who had climbed to the top of the city was panting and not moving, he hurriedly dissuaded the old man from going down.
"This group of Qin dogs! I just don't have the strength. No, the old man can't get up. ”
Shi Chang couldn't bear it, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to take the old man to the city.
From time to time, Korean people climbed to the top of the city, and they all fell to rest without exception. In the face of the two fighting people, the South Korean army was also a big one. In order to rescue the people who survived, the city was short of manpower for a while.
"Come, lad. Don't pant like an old man. Take out some Korean backbone. ”
A commander of the Han army kindly went to support the young man who had just climbed the city and was panting.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. The young man pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it straight into the heart of the Korean commander. The unsuspecting commander of the Korean army died in an instant, and he did not understand why this harmless "Korean" youth would assassinate him.
"Brother Su!"
A young Han soldier's eyes immediately turned red, and he rushed to the "people" with a spear to "take revenge". The "people" were not in a hurry, picked up the bronze sword of the captain of the Han army who fell at their feet, and fought with the Han army.
remembered that Uncle Su took care of him, especially after he decided to join the army, he specially arranged for himself to join his young son's army. Although they have only been together for more than ten days, Wei Yazi has formed a deep relationship with this Wu Chang who is like his eldest brother. Following him, Wei Yazi learned a lot of practical combat skills. But today, this big brother died under a despicable sneak attack.
Thinking of the bits and pieces since Xinzheng's departure, Wei Yazi only wants to avenge his "big brother", either kill the other party or be killed by the other party.
The same scene happened from time to time in the city.
The elite of the Qin army mixed among the people who ascended the city, and took advantage of the fact that the Han army was busy treating the people and launched a sneak attack. Suddenly, the Korean army was caught off guard. The Qin generals' grasp of people's hearts is really terrifying.
The fighting at the head of the city became more and more intense, and the Korean army had a numerical advantage, but had to be distracted by the people; Although the number of Qin troops is small, they are all elites, especially when they are unable to hide behind the Korean people. The two sides fought the worst battle ever over the narrow city.
The Han army, which had always been weak, may have been stimulated by the Qin army's behavior of driving away the people, and they all fought bravely, and did not hesitate to use the means of exchanging lives for their lives to solve the problem of inferior to the Qin army's combat effectiveness.
In such a battlefield, there is no such thing as a strong force that will definitely survive. A Qin army that beheaded five people in a row was pierced through the body by three Changge in a blink of an eye, and a Han army who was rigidly defeated by three Qin soldiers was shot into a honeycomb by crossbow arrows in the next moment.
The Korean people are still climbing the city, and unlike before, this time, some Qin troops are brazenly armed to the city.
"Kill!"
"Die!"
The Han army swore not to retreat, and the Qin army would not give up the corner of the battlefield it had occupied. The consequence of not retreating is to fill this front with human lives.
"Get down, get down!" From time to time, the South Korean army commanded the people who had just come to the city to hide.
The swords and guns were blind, and some people rushed to the battlefield like crazy, and some stood still in surprise, the result was undoubtedly to become a live target, and was ruthlessly torn apart by Qin and Han. Only those who are the smartest and most sane will survive.
Seeing that the battle for the head of the city was stalemate, the Korean army in the city moved.
About 5,000 light horsemen came out of the north gate and headed straight for the flank of the Qin army. The Qin army lookout post, which had been paying attention to the movements of the Korean army in the city, hurriedly waved the flag to report this urgent military situation to the Qin army commander.
Hu Yang smiled proudly and said, "Han Jun finally couldn't help but do it. ”
"Sima Xin!"
"The last general!"
"Immediately lead the cavalry battalion to intercept this enemy force."
"Whoa!"
The next moment, the central army of the Qin army divided a force of black cavalry, and about 5,000 people went straight to the Han army that was out of the city.
As soon as the Qin army set off, the Korean army at the West Gate had a new movement. Five thousand Han infantry soldiers gathered in a phalanx and threatened the flank of the besieging Qin army.
Hu Yang smiled even more proudly, "Han Jun is really not afraid of death!" Then I will fulfill them. Order the remaining men and horses of the cavalry battalion to break through the enemy formation. ”
"Whoa!"
The herald took the order and departed.
At the north gate, the black army and the green army were like two torrents surging together, interspersed. As soon as the two armies separated, the green cavalry phalanx could clearly be seen to have been cut by one layer, and the black phalanx, although it did not fall to the advantage, the losses were significantly smaller.
"Come again!" Captain Han roared angrily, commanded the army behind him to turn around and meet the Qin army again.
"Wind! Wind! Gale! The Qin army also roared, and the leading captain of the Qin army led the army in an elegant arc and headed straight for the Han army.
Another round of charge, Qin and Han each lost some soldiers. After two rounds of charges, the Korean army lost at least 1,560 men and horses, which was twice as much as the Qin army, but the bloody collision did not seem to weaken the fighting spirit of the Korean army. The South Korean cavalry is still regrouping and preparing to sprint.
Huang Sheng gasped for breath, the charge just now almost cost him his life. But what he lacks is to kill a leader of the Qin army, even if he falls this charge, he is worth it. The two charges cost the lives of three Qin soldiers, including a Qin commander. Your family should be proud of yourself!
"The whole army has it! Kill Qin Dog! Charge! ”
"Kill!"
Looking at the Han army that was charging towards him, Sima Xin smiled indifferently, but his feet were clamped on the horse's belly, and he commanded the Qin army to meet it fiercely.
The outcome of the confrontation speaks for itself, and the Korean army has lost more than 800 people. Although the Qin army had the advantage in numbers, it was a little unlucky, and still lost more than 400 people.
At this time, only half of the original 5,000 cavalry of the Han army remained, but the Qin army still had more than 3,700 people.
Looking at the Han army, which had not collapsed after half of it had been lost, Sima Xin also put away his contempt. In any case, the army on the opposite side earned its own respect.
Just as Qin and Han were about to charge again, there was a new movement at the north gate of Yewang. Three thousand Korean heavy horsemen came from the North Gate. Tian Hu had long been holding back, watching Pao Ze being bullied by the Qin army but couldn't go out. The prince said that the time had not yet come.
At this time, the Korean army that left the city was more than 10,000 people, and with yesterday's battle damage, the Qin army must have thought that there were less than 7,000 troops defending the city. The Qin army, which had just charged, obviously had a trace of concern, and did not dare to get too close to the north gate. Now that the Qin army has relaxed, it is a good opportunity.
As a result, the three thousand tiger riders who had been holding back for a long time finally got the opportunity to fight. At this moment, the Qin army's cavalry battalion handed over its back to the South Korean army, and the fighter plane had appeared. Victory or defeat depends on this battle.
