Chapter 518: The sunset on the first day
"Archers back off!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly: "Let the barbarians come up, after the barbarians' people kick the city, their archers will not release arrows anymore!" ”
"No way!"
The commander of the archers said eagerly: "If you don't suppress it, the enemy will continue to climb up, and if you can't stop it, who can bear the responsibility for the loss of the city wall!" ”
"Just look at it!"
Chen Dingnan swept the long lance, and the lance unloaded half of the head of a wolf rider who had just emerged, this lance walked very steadily, cut in from the left temple, cut the two eyes and then cut out from the right side, the wolf cavalry who was stripped off the head looked very weird and hideous, and the blood and brains flowed down instantly.
"Lance, four steps back!"
Chen Dingnan shouted loudly.
Two hundred white-robed lancers took four steps back neatly, and the two hundred men were divided into two rows, their bodies staggered, and the lancers in the back could attack in the open space of the lancers in the front row. He took four steps back, just enough to leave a foothold for the wolf cavalry who climbed up. But having a foothold does not mean that you can stand on it, because as soon as those wolf cavalry climb up, they will face a row of spears.
"You have been training with me for more than ten years, and I have been training with you since I practiced martial arts. The Chen family has gone through so many hardships and is not willing to let you fight, but today we must stand up! I have repeatedly petitioned, Lord Hou allowed us to go to the city, as the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the Chen family did not use you for personal matters, but now it is a national disaster, you have no reason to retreat! ”
"Those who retreat are not from my Chen family!"
Chen Dingnan shouted, and all the white-robed lance hands replied neatly: "I'd rather die than retreat!" ”
At this moment, a wolf cavalry climbed up, and when they saw that their own people had already gone up, the arrow array did not dare to fire any more arrows. Seeing that the remnants of Zhebie could rush forward, Koktai Menglie couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered Kobete to bring his two thousand troops over to support.
Before the first wolf cavalry who climbed up had time to stand firmly, a spear more than two feet long on a long lance pierced his heart accurately, and the lance was extremely fast, and it was immediately withdrawn when it stabbed in, and it took a moment for blood to flow out of the wound after the lance came out. The second row of lancemen drew their lances at the same time as the man in front of them drew their lances and pushed the man off the wall.
The commander of the archers found that the lancers in the second row were holding the lance upside down, with the blade facing backwards and the tail facing forward.
The one in the front kills, and the one in the back pushes people.
The two lancers who shot just now cooperated without any gaps.
If it weren't for great self-confidence, who would dare to line up like this?
Chen Dingnan's face didn't have any expression, because he had special trust in the two hundred white robes under his hands. These young men had been with him since he had been trained in martial arts, and one of his father's most correct decisions was to train him the most loyal guards. These 200 people are Chen Dingnan's talisman. When the rebels were making trouble, when Fang Xie led his troops to besiege the city, Chen Dingnan did not let these two hundred white robes show up, but this time, he did not hesitate in the face of foreign enemies.
Fang Xie didn't agree to let him go to the city with two hundred white robes at first, there was no need to verify it, Fang Xie only needed to look at it to see how elite these two hundred people were. When they walk, they walk in the same pace, and when they stand, they naturally travel to the array, which is not a tacit understanding that can be achieved in a month or two months, or a year or two years of cooperation. But they didn't have much experience in fighting against the enemy, so Fang Xie didn't dare to be careless.
Chen Dingnan insisted on going to the city to fight, and Fang Xie knew that this young man was eager to make meritorious contributions and was extremely confident in his eyes, so he didn't stop it anymore.
The first row of lancers kills, and the second row of lancers reverses the long lances, if this way of arranging the formation is changed to someone else, I am afraid that the enemy will scatter as soon as he rushes. But these two hundred white robes can't, they have been practicing this formation for more than ten years. What the person in front does, the person behind will naturally react.
It's as if a person is born with four arms and four legs, and there is no hindrance at all.
One after another ladders were set up on the stone wall, and one after another soldiers climbed up the ladders, and at this time, the archer who didn't believe Chen Dingnan was dumbfounded. The white-robed lancers in the first row shot as fast as lightning, and each blow accurately sent the lance into the enemy's vital point. And after the person in front of him strikes, the spearman behind immediately pushes the enemy in the middle lance down.
If you look at it from one side, the movements of the front and rear rows of lancers are as stable as a machine.
The wolf cavalry came up one by one, and the other was poked over, and the corpse fell down like a dumpling.
The efficiency of these two hundred white robes to kill people is outrageous, and almost none of them fail. There seemed to be an inexhaustible strength in their arms, and the steady lance did not tremble in the slightest after the killing. In just ten minutes, at least more than a hundred wolf cavalry who climbed up one after another were poked to death, but none of them could stand firmly on the stone wall with their feet, even for ten seconds.
The speed of the killings cannot be described in words, and it is extremely difficult for those who have not seen this scene with their own eyes to imagine what kind of brutality it was. Again and again, one at a time, one at a time. Twenty minutes later, there was no blood on the clothes of the white-robed lancers in the first row. Thirty minutes later, they were still able to maintain their usual speed and consistency.
Fang Xie glanced back at Qilin and ordered: "Bring a regiment of reserves to prepare, although such a killing method is sharp, but the speed of the soldiers is too fast, there is no time to rest, and they can't last long." However, Chen Dingnan can hold on as long as he can, and this way of killing will hit the enemy's morale the hardest! ”
The unicorn nodded with the copper rod, and couldn't wait.
……
……
For a full hour, at least more than 900 wolf cavalry were stabbed to death by white-robed lance hands and then fell from the stone wall, and the four-step distance that Chen Dingnan deliberately set aside was the fatal temptation to attract the wolf cavalry. The soldiers who climbed up later only saw the corpses falling one by one, and the fear in their hearts became heavier and heavier. Four steps away, which is exactly the length of the lance.
"Substitution!"
Chen Dingnan saw that the speed of the lancers in the first row gradually slowed down, and shouted loudly, and the lancers in the back row immediately took a step forward, and at the same time turned the long lance around and moved forward. The soldiers in the first row took a step back without looking back, but no one collided with the people behind, and this kind of cooperation made people look at it amazingly.
"Archer prepare!"
Chen Dingnan pierced the eye sockets of the wolf cavalry that climbed up, turned back to the archer who retreated behind the archer, and shouted: "My people are tired, wait for me to call you forward immediately!" ”
The general nodded hurriedly and instructed the archers to prepare.
The lance in the second row came up and held out for about twenty minutes, and Chen Dingnan knew that if he didn't change his defense, the defense line might collapse, so he shouted loudly, and then rushed forward. All the white-robed lancers started forward almost at the same time, and the neat forward pressure pushed down all the wolf cavalry who climbed up, and then, as if someone was controlling them at the same time, almost at one time, they pressed their lances against the ladder and rushed forward.
More than 30 ladders were pushed up and slowly fell backwards.
The scene was spectacular, all the ladders were overturned and fell backwards, and the wolf knights who were still hanging on the ladders shouted in panic and fell down.
After overthrowing the cloud ladder, Chen Dingnan immediately retreated: "Archers and reserves come up!" ”
The archer will be waiting, and when he heard the shout, he immediately led people forward to make up for it. Two hundred white robes retreated in an orderly manner, killing more than a thousand people, but not a single person was lost!
After the archers went up, Qilin immediately came up with a regiment of 300 people to replace Chen Dingnan's lancers. When he went down, Chen Dingnan glanced back at the endless wolf riding array under the city, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Xie stood at a high place behind the city wall and watched, his eyes full of approval.
Chen Dingnan is conceited, but he has conceited capital. Fang Xie never doubted Chen Dingnan's ability from beginning to end, as long as this young man experienced a few more battles, he would definitely become a brave general. And his 200 soldiers exerted their greatest power on this battlefield. There were only 200 men, but they just held the city wall, and if the stone wall was longer, their formation would not have had such an effect if it became loose.
The most important thing is that from the time these two hundred white robes went up to kill the enemy to the time they retreated to rest, everyone's faces were extremely calm, without the slightest change.
After Qilin came up, he couldn't help but pat Chen Dingnan's shoulder: "Well done!" ”
Chen Dingnan was stumbled by him, and said, "Can't you be a little harder?" ”
Qilin Ha Lu Ha smiled, pointed to the back and said, "You take someone down to rest, this time it's me!" ”
Chen Dingnan nodded: "I'll come back later, you be more careful!" ”
Qilin said: "The barbarian who can hurt me hasn't been born yet, so don't worry!" ”
Chen Qing's also laughed, and jumped directly from the two-zhang high city wall. He walked quickly to Fang Xie and hugged his fists and said, "When the subordinates return, the soldiers are tired and dare not fight again." ”
Fang Xie nodded and said: "Well, you did the right thing, go down and rest, it is estimated that the morale of the Qilin barbarians will drop to the bottom after a while longer, and the sky is already dark, and Kuketai Menglie is about to withdraw his troops." ”
"Will the barbarians sneak up tonight?"
Chen Dingnan asked.
"Inevitably"
Fang Xie nodded: "Kuketai Menglie has no patience to consume any longer, just now the scouts came to report, and on the grassland of Mandu Banner in the west, I saw many monks and a large number of herdsmen gathering on this side of the canyon, but they are not here to pick up Meng Lie, but to prevent Meng Lie from going back." ”
"The mess on Meng Yuan's side seems to have made Kuoktai Meng Ge anxious!"
Chen Dingnan said with a smile.
Fang Xie snorted: "Don't care about it, just block Meng Lie." If nothing else, even if the people and horses of the imperial court do not break through Jinyang, they will divide their troops, and the emperor can see it clearly than anyone else, those remnants of Jinyang are not to worry, but these 200,000 wolf horsemen are the big trouble. Therefore, we will hold out for six or seven days at most, and the reinforcements will almost arrive. ”
"When the time comes, the barbarians who haven't been able to break through our stone wall in six or seven days are afraid that they will really despair!"
Chen Dingnan smiled, then clasped his fists and saluted and went down to rest.
The archers of the Black Banner Army on the city wall once again exerted their might, pouring oil and slapping down, and the remaining one or two hundred men of the three thousand troops of Zhe Split finally collapsed and began to retreat, they were no longer able to continue the attack. Farewell Tie'er led people to rush for a while, after losing seven or eight hundred soldiers, he still couldn't attack, the sky gradually darkened, and as expected, there was a sound of horns from the side of the Mengyuan army, and the attacking team began to retreat slowly.
Day 1
The barbarians left more than 4,000 corpses outside the stone walls, and within a hundred and fifty paces from the walls, there was barely any ground to be seen, all covered with corpses.
Soon after the barbarians retreated, a large number of unarmed wolf cavalry began to clean up the battlefield. The Black Flag soldiers on the stone wall leaned against the battlements and watched as the enemy below carried away the corpses one by one, and no one fired the arrows. At this time, no matter how strong the hatred is, it will not make them lose their minds.
This is the custom on the battlefield, and no one has a hand on the soldiers who clean up the corpses.
Fang Xie climbed onto the stone wall, looking at the busy crowd outside, his eyes were very flat, no one saw it, and when he stared at those barbarians, there was worry in his eyes that flashed. Just now, he suddenly thought of something, something that was very bad for him and the Black Flag Army. If he guesses correctly, then everyone may be in a very difficult situation.
Hopefully not.
Fang Xie muttered in his heart, his eyes involuntarily looking to the east. The sun was far behind him, and night was approaching.
