Chapter 119: The Siege Battle (Part II)
Seeing that Hakesu sent 20,000 elite cavalry to attack the city, Ji Qingchen on the city tower could no longer be as calm as just now, he pondered for a while, and saw the cavalry that had already killed the city gate in the distance, and immediately ordered Li Chang beside him, "Order, let the Black Eagle cavalry be ready to go to battle!" ”
"No!" Li Changzheng received the order.
The Beirong soldiers rushed to the head of the city was expected, but it was also unexpected.
The expected result is that the battle of Hakesu is bound to win, and it has been prepared for so long, if the Beirong soldiers can't attack the city, then they will be too inferior, but this is obviously impossible, so the Beirong soldiers are still prepared for the siege of Caozhou City Ji Qingchen in this battle.
But what he didn't expect was that Hakesu would use the cloud ladder in this way, and when the Beirong soldiers attacked Caozhou City, the number of people who attacked Caozhou City decreased, and the number of people besieging Caozhou City increased correspondingly, which would evolve into the current situation where Caozhou City was about to be lost.
But this is Ji Qingchen's self-confidence, and it is also the consequence of arrogance, he is too confident in his calculations, and he doesn't take Haksu in his eyes too much, which will lead to the current situation.
Therefore, whether it is public or private, he must be responsible for this war.
Therefore, Ji Qingchen took a deep breath, pulled out the wolf blade sword on his waist, roared, and killed the Beirong Blue Flag soldiers on the city tower, he strode into the Blue Flag camp, and saw blood splashing, a hideous head rose to the sky, and blood gushed out from the headless corpse.
"Kill-" Although he didn't get Ji Qingchen's order, when did Li Changzheng, who was Ji Qingchen's guard captain, give up the task of supervising the defenders to defend the city, and followed Ji Qingchen closely behind him to kill the Beirong soldiers.
This cavalry battalion is no longer the original cavalry battalion.
After experiencing the battle with Tuobani with the yellow flag outside the city of Caozhou, experiencing the baptism of blood, coupled with the Caozhou army that slashed and killed hundreds of Caozhou soldiers on the tower of Caozhou City, their hearts are as hard as iron, their ruthlessness is as brave as jackals, and the 800 Xiao cavalry battalion also pulled out their wolf blade swords, and the long knife was swung out, and it must be stained with blood, and if it is swung out, it will definitely kill the enemy.
They joined the warbands on the castle tower. No more slashing backward companions with your own knives.
With the addition of Ji Qingchen and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, he was like a catalyst that detonated the fighting spirit of the defenders.
In an instant, the defenders on the tower of the city were encouraged, and they rushed towards the Beirong soldiers like crazy.
And Ji Qingchen continued to advance under the escort of the 800 cavalry battalion, and in a moment, he tore a hole in the camp of thousands of blue-flaged soldiers, and fiercely entered the circle of Beirong soldiers.
"The chief manager-" Xu Dachun on the periphery shouted, and also rushed towards Ji Qingchen regardless of life and death. The chief manager has put life and death aside, what do you want to do?
"The chief manager-" Meng Li saw that Ji Qingchen led the cavalry battalion into the battle group, and also led his own guards to keep up with Ji Qingchen's pace.
"Your Highness-" Cheng Qianfan was stupid by Ji Qingchen's actions, and the king of Northern Liao personally participated in the fight, if there were three long and two short, he would not have enough to cut off ten heads, so he immediately led his personal guards and also killed Ji Qingchen's location.
"Poof-" Ji Qingchen slashed the head of a Beirong soldier with a knife, and he had already rushed to the center of the formation of the soldiers with the blue flag. And the Xiao cavalry battalion also made up in time and surrounded him in the middle.
"Li Changzheng, you bastard-" Ji Qingchen scolded, he personally killed the enemy for Caozhou City, but now Li Changzheng and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion surrounded themselves in the center and protected them, what is this! In this way, the point of participating in the war himself will be lost
"Brother Jiu - I won't allow you to be in danger! The 800 soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion fought for their lives, and they didn't want Brother Jiu to go into battle to kill the enemy in person! Li Changzheng shouted loudly, "This is the oath of our cavalry battalion to go north to Caozhou, and the same oath of your brother as a younger brother of our team." ”
"You-" Ji Qingchen was angry, but he had no choice, he was surrounded by soldiers from the cavalry battalion, and he couldn't rush out to fight the enemy, so he could only be furious.
"Thank you, brothers-" For a long time, he quietly watched the Beirong Blue Flag soldiers who were swarming in front of him being killed and retreated by Li Changzheng and the Xiaocai Battalion, his eyes were moist, and he said in a solemn tone.
"Kill-" Li Changzheng naturally couldn't hear it, at this time, the blood in his whole body was already boiling, and the special wolf blade battle knife was like the sickle of death, as long as the Beirong soldiers who were close to him were killed by him, crisply, cleanly.
At the same time, Xu Dachun, Meng Li, and Cheng Qianfan had already led their guards to kill in the formation of the Beirong soldiers, and seeing that Ji Qingchen had been protected by the Xiaocai battalion in the middle, they were relieved, and the guards ordered to rush out and kill.
Four elite soldiers from the encirclement of the Beirong soldiers, the Beirong soldiers divided into several squares, the combat power of the Beirong soldiers declined, and they were annihilated by the Caozhou defenders at once, they couldn't hold on, so they kept retreating and were driven out of Caozhou City again.
As soon as the Beirong soldiers were driven down the city, Fang Wanqi on the side immediately ordered, "Prepare for the oil!" ”
For hundreds of years, the defenders threw large jars off the city.
Smack——! The canister smashed on the Beirong soldiers who were swarming under Caozhou City, drenching them all over, and they didn't know that the oil was the weapon that killed them, so they saw hundreds of rockets appear on the tower of Caozhou City.
"No—" Haksu, who was watching the battle from a distance, understood what the Caozhou defenders wanted to do when he saw the clay pot he had just dropped and the current rocket, but he couldn't do anything but exclaim.
"Bang-" sounded, a rocket set up the tower, and when the oil met the sparks, it ignited a raging fire, and in an instant it spread to the entire Beirong army besieging the city.
Yes!
Oops——!
Screams rang out one after another.
The fire is raging!
All of a sudden, the offensive of the Beirong soldiers was contained, and the defenders on Caozhou City got a chance to breathe, and immediately adjusted the way of defending the city, once again stabilizing the situation that was about to collapse.
Seeing that the enemy was driven off the tower, the angry Ji Qingchen stepped forward and kicked Li Changzheng in the chest, "You bastard——! ”
"Your Highness, the Long March disobeyed the military order and was willing to be punished." Li Changzheng did not defend himself, but was willing to accept his life.
Because he knew that it was worth disobeying the military order this time, otherwise even if Ji Qingchen's life was not in danger, he would be scolded to death by Bai Xiangcheng, Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing and others.
"Who gave you the order to leave your post without permission and follow this king?" Ji Qingchen roared, "If the phenomenon of the collapse of the defenders just now, without you to supervise the battle, do you know what the consequences of the Dao will be?" ”
"The first task of the Xiao cavalry battalion is to defend His Royal Highness, and the second is to go into battle to kill the enemy, this is the oath made by the eight hundred Xiao cavalry battalion when they went north to Caozhou City, the Long March may be sorry for Dayan, but the Long March can not be sorry for His Highness, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion can give up Caozhou City, but it can not ignore the safety of His Royal Highness." Li Changzheng shouted loudly.
"You-someone, pull Li Changzheng down and cut it down!" Ji Qingchen said angrily.
"The Xiaoqi battalion can give up Caozhou City, but you can't ignore the safety of His Highness." All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion shouted, "Please also ask Your Highness to punish you!" ”
Everyone in Caozhou City was stunned!
How had they ever seen such a group of fierce and foolish cavalry?
How had they ever encountered such a daring cavalry!
How have they ever encountered such a warrior who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and who only swears for himself and does not hesitate to fight for life and death.
All of a sudden, there was a brief silence in Caozhou City, and there was silence.
Even Ji Qingchen's order was not carried out, and he dared to pull Li Changzheng down and cut it down.
When they saw this scene, Xu Dachun and Meng Li, who were originally brave and loyal, were moved by the pride of the eight hundred boys, even if this cavalry dared to risk the world's greatness, only for Ji Qingchen to fight alone instead of Dayan, their hearts trembled, and tears rushed out of their eyes.
"General Li did not leave his post without permission, and asked His Highness to bypass General Li's life!" Meng Li and Xu Dachun said at the same time.
Fang Wanqi and Cheng Qianfan were very calm, but seeing that Xu Dachun and Meng Li had already interceded for Li Chang, and there were still eight hundred cavalry battalions willing to shoulder the responsibility, Ji Qingchen didn't dare to execute Li Changzheng easily! So the two of them also spoke, "General Li did not leave his post without permission, and asked His Highness to bypass General Li's life!" ”
"You-" Ji Qingchen was very angry, because it made him a little difficult to ride a tiger, and the military order could not be violated, this was the rule he had set when he first arrived in Caozhou City and participated in the battle of defending the city for the first time, so he would not hesitate to issue a killing order to the defenders who retreated when defending the city, just to ensure that the order was consistent, but now he wants to kill Li Changzheng but there are so many people pleading, not to mention Meng Li, Xu Dachun, Cheng Qianfan, and Fang Wanqi, on the eight hundred Xiao cavalry camp in front of him, is it possible that he killed them all?
"General Li did not leave his post without permission, and asked His Highness to bypass General Li's life!" Suddenly, just when Ji Qingchen was in a dilemma, the defenders of Caozhou City collectively knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
General Li did not leave his post without permission, and asked His Highness to bypass General Li's life - it was transmitted to Caozhou City, which made Hakesu also surprised, he couldn't guess what happened in Caozhou City, and would make the entire Caozhou garrison intercede for one person? However, through a little news, he also knew how strict Ji Qingchen was in charge of the army.
However, Ji Qingchen, who was standing on Caozhou City, still didn't say anything, so he was silent quietly.
He was silent, and tens of thousands of defenders were equally silent.
Liang Jiu Ji Qingchen said a little helplessly, "Continue to defend the city!" ”
After that, he went straight down to the Caozhou City Tower.
Brother, what a precious friendship!
At first, he interacted with Li Changzheng, Wang Yin and others, in addition to being able to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xiaocai battalion as soon as possible, he wanted to use their identity as children of the family and the strength of the family behind them. But as the relationship lasted for a long time, he found that although this group of gentlemen had been extremely vicious and had done a lot of bad things before, they were not bad in their hearts, and they still had ideals and ambitions.
This made him seriously socialize with the people in the Xiaoqi camp, and only then would there be polo matches with Bai Xiangcheng, Li Changzheng, Wang Yin and others, and Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing and others would call him affectionately in private. But deep down, he cherishes this friendship, but also rejects it a little. Because of his goals, he could not see this cavalry as his brothers, they were also a sharp weapon.
However, Li Changzheng's words today made him deeply moved!
Yes.
He was touched!
Even if it was for the sake of the military order, he wanted to kill Li Changzheng!
Because at this moment, he has already regarded Li Changzheng and the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion as his brothers, brothers who can share wealth and prosperity with life and death.
"Thank you, my brother!" Ji Qingchen, who left the Caozhou City Tower, whispered as he walked down the city tower.
After the vigorous fire under Caozhou City was burned, the thousands of Beirong soldiers with blue flags who were driven down the city and the thousands of Beirong soldiers with red flags who were flocking under Caozhou City and were preparing to ascend the city were burned to ashes.
A whole 10,000 Beijung soldiers were buried in the fire.
Seeing their companions being burned alive by the fire, the morale of the Beirong cavalry watching the battle from a distance was affected, plus they rushed to the city and were driven down, and the fighting spirit was a little sluggish.
When Haksu saw this scene, he knew that today's siege battle had failed, and he was very unwilling to give the order to retreat.
In an instant, the Beirong army, which was fierce and wilted and dying, disappeared under Caozhou City.
A big war is over!
In this battle, the Beirong army lost nearly 20,000 people, which made Meng Buge, who had returned to the camp, even paler after listening to the report. Because this marked that their brothers could no longer launch an attack on Caozhou City, they could only withdraw from Yunzhou and defend Liaozhou, waiting for the beginning of spring next year to make a move south.
But in the spring of next year, will this army still be under the command of his brothers?
The obvious answer is no!
So at this moment, Meng Buge is heartbroken, he has silently accepted the arrangement of this ruthless fate for him, because he was defeated in the battle for the Khan position three years ago, and gave up the Khan throne that his father Khan let him inherit to Mo Dahan, and now he has lost to Ji Qingchen again, defeated under the city of Caozhou, and the two defeats in three years have made him lose the ambition and ambition he should have.
"Retire!" Meng Buge said in a low voice, "Twelfth brother, you ordered to immediately retreat to Liaozhou, and don't leave Ji Qingchen a chance to fight back." ”
"Yes—Brother Eleven." Haksu whispered.
As Meng Buge's half-brother, he is very aware of the bitterness, dissatisfaction and unwillingness in his brother's heart. But he tried his best, and the Beirong army did his best, and the result was still defeated. He didn't know what was wrong with the road, and he could only attribute the failure to fate. He felt that God was unfair to their brother, and gave you the position of Khan that originally belonged to his brother to Mo Dahan, and now he gave Ji Qingchen the victory that originally belonged to his brother.
At this moment, he felt very tired, tired!
