Chapter 548: Cavalry
Wang Miyuan's right hand hurt from the tiger's mouth, and he couldn't hold the sword at all, only heard a "clanging" sound, and the long sword fell to the ground.
He had been killing for most of the day, and he was already exhausted, and at this time he had no blade in his hand, only one against two with his bare hands, and his back to the two, and for a while he heard the sound of swords facing each other behind him, and he only thought that he was going to die here today.
Wang Miyuan was wearing thin armor, which could block arrows shot from afar, and these few steps away, although the long knife that slashed face to face could not split the armor made of fine iron, it immediately shocked him out of a mouthful of blood.
He reacted very quickly, and was about to roll away on the ground immediately, but where did he have time, he was chased by the two and slashed three times in a row, one in the chest, one under the ribs, and one straight into the thigh.
Wang Miyuan had no armor on his legs, only a pair of thin pants, and as soon as the knife was pierced into it, he heard a muffled sound, and blood immediately gushed out and flowed all over the ground.
He was wearing the clothes of an officer, and the sword in his hand was different from the knives of the rest of the people at a glance, so that people knew at a glance that he was a big official.
Wang Miyuan is not a person waiting for death, he tore off the arrow at the tiger's mouth in his right hand with his left hand, he didn't care about the tiger's mouth bursting, blood splashed out, taking advantage of the opposite person holding the knife in both hands, half-cat waist is piercing his leg, backhand stabbed the arrow into his left chest, endured the sharp pain at the tiger's mouth, stirred twice in the opponent's chest, and did not stop breathing, grabbed the opponent's long knife inserted in his foot with his backhand, and did not care that his right hand was cut into the palm bone of his right hand by the blade, only to pull out.
The long knife was drawn, and the wound on the leg became more serious, and the blood flowed all over the ground.
Only then did the remaining Jiaozhi soldier on the opposite side react, raised the knife in his hand, and before he could cut it down, Wang Miyuan had already grabbed the blade, and poked the tip of the knife straight into the throat of the Jiaozhi soldier on the opposite side.
There was a large blood stain on the ground.
His hair was dizzy, his whole body was out of strength, the place where his back was cut was severe, and his heart was in severe pain, and the pain in his thigh was so painful that he only felt that he was really going to die.
On the city wall, he could only hear the sound of swords facing each other, shouting, rushing and killing, all the sounds seemed to be far away, and he could not hear the slightest of them.
Fortunately, the two cross-finger soldiers were lying quietly on the ground, and although they did not know whether they were dead or alive, they did not chase them again.
He was lying on the city wall, trying to take advantage of his lack of breath to see if he could find a way to kill another enemy and catch one by one, but he inexplicably felt that the ground under him was shaking one by one.
Wang Miyuan only thought that this was a hallucination before death, he stretched out his hand, trying to hook an arrow not far from him, but he only felt that his whole body was trembling.
Is it really going to die?
He gritted his teeth and rubbed it again into the distance, but because of the weakness of his whole body, he had not yet hooked the arrow for a long time, and when he saw that it was easy to touch the tip of his middle finger, he heard someone on the city wall shout: "Cavalry! There are cavalry!! ”
Wang Miyuan was excited, rubbing and trying to stand up, but where did he still have the strength.
However, the tremor at the wall below him did grow louder.
The sound of "dong dong dong" shook the sky, and it was indeed the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground.
Wang Mi has been fighting for more than ten years, and the sound of the Jin army's cavalry marching in formation is so familiar that it can be recognized as soon as you hear it.
He struggled to get up, and raised his eyelids to see that the city gate was full of slaughter, and where could there be an idler who could spare his hand to help him.
A familiar voice came, although it was a little dumb, but it still shouted in a babbling voice: "Hang Chen Jiedu's general flag!" To say the least, there were two thousand cavalry! Tanzhou has come to help!! Kill these cross-chin dogs!! ”
He followed the prestige, and although his eyes were already a little flowery, he could still recognize that it was Wei Qi who was shouting.
The few defenders on the city wall immediately cheered up, as if all the remaining strength had been stimulated, and they faintly suppressed the Jiaozhi soldiers who attacked the city wall.
Wang Miyuan sighed in his heart, even though he didn't have the strength to speak, he still felt a faint residual intent from the bottom of his heart.
Although the battle lasted for so long, tens of thousands of casualties were killed and wounded in the Jiaozhi army, but the opponent's troops were too many, and even if there were so many deaths, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers left.
Although there are a lot of 2,000 cavalry, the tens of thousands of troops who want to break through Jiaozhi are like mantis arms as a car, they are really moths to the fire, and they will definitely die.
Expecting these two thousand cavalry to win is just a dream for everyone.
***
Eighteen hundred cavalry marched forward in formation, stamping on the ground in unison, causing smoke and dust to billow.
The ground was stomped and trembled, and the sound shook the sky.
The high character "Chen" held the flag in the array.
Every horse is a Hexi horse, different from the Yunnan horse on the west road of Guangnan, the horses in Hexi are mostly half a person high, strutting forward, where the iron hooves go, like a violent wind transiting, the waves crashing on the shore, it is like a mountain to destroy, and the black clouds are pressing the city.
Tan Zong pressed behind the formation and shouted loudly: "Array!! Salvo!!! Call the left and right wings to help!! ”
Li Fuzai was seriously injured in bed and couldn't afford a high fever, but Yongzhou City still had to be beaten.
Jiaozhi dragged on here for too long, the army's morale was scattered, and there were heavy casualties, if Yongzhou did not win, with the army's grain at this time, it would be impossible to fight Guangzhou again.
Once the army is withdrawn, the main general of this expedition will be seriously injured, and nearly half of the casualties in the army will be aroused, what kind of frenzy will be attracted from the court, and what degree of counterattack will be made by the courtiers and the rest of the imperial uncles, Tan Zong no longer dares to think about it.
Even if you don't fight Guangzhou, at least you have to break Yongzhou.
Now it is no longer the situation where he has just arrived at Yongzhou City, and Tan Zong is no longer like he was originally, he feels that once Li Fuzai can't suppress it, he can lead the troops by taking advantage of the situation.
At this time, the Jiaozhi Army is no longer as fragrant and sweet as it was more than a month ago, but has become a hot potato. And Tan Zong has already been forced to step on a boat with Li Fuzai, once the boat capsizes, both of them will only die.
This battle can only be won, not defeated!
Tan Zong finished giving the order, but he saw that it was just his own words, and the cavalry in the distance had already advanced a lot, as if he could reach him in front of him as long as he took one more breath.
It was like a landslide, and it made him feel weak.
The power of the bed crossbow trembled in the hearts of the Jiaozhi army, and the power of the cavalry that night made everyone panic, and now the uncountable number of cavalry attacked with the momentum of the wind and clouds, and before they arrived in front of them, they had not yet received Tan Zong's order, and everyone had involuntarily begun to retreat.
Three thousand archers on the left and right flanks were quickly transferred to the front of the formation, and after several volleys were fired, they were all stopped by the shields that stood in front of the horses.
The two wings had not been charged by cavalry, and although they had heard of it, they were inexperienced, and they only instinctively felt timid.
Soon, they learned how accurate human instinct is.
Eighteen hundred cavalry ran over.
The elite of the 1,800 security guards, holding a broadsword in their right hand and a shield in their left, didn't even slow down, and just pressed over like this.
Tan Zong watched it, his heart was horrified, and he shouted: "The Chinese army has transferred 5,000 soldiers to rush forward immediately!" ”
He had just finished speaking, but he heard a bang from behind, and when he turned his head, he saw thick smoke billowing and flames in the military camp in the distance.
