Chapter 13: The Bloody Battle of Danyang (Supplement)

After Xuanyi came out of the tent, he called a herald to explain, and then three melodious trombone sounds resounded throughout the valley. In less than a moment, 3,000 forward battalion soldiers stood in three squares in an open space in the valley, and even hundreds of heavy soldiers in charge of logistics stood in a neat line.

Gonggong An stood beside Xuanyi and looked at the most elite army in front of him with a smile on his face, and he was quite satisfied with the style of the ban and the neat military appearance. He waved his hand at Xuanyi and refused Xuanyi's invitation to give an "important speech".

Xuanyi cleared his throat and shouted: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, now the imperial court has ordered us to march into Danyang Town, all the soldiers have it, and we will move forward immediately!"

"I am invincible!" all the soldiers roared in response, and the cry shook the sky and frightened the birds in the valley.

In addition to the extremely high loyalty of each soldier of the Royal Legion, the martial arts of each person are also higher than that of ordinary legion soldiers, not to mention that they are also equipped with more elite weapons and equipment, and the configuration of one war horse per person alone can kill the vast majority of the legions in seconds.

According to the military system of the Liang Dynasty, 100 people were a capital and the commander was called "Dutou"; 300 people were a guard and the commander was called "Wei Commander"; 1,000 people were a battalion and the commander was called "battalion commander"; 3,000 people were an army and the commander was called "general" or "army master"; and 10,000 people were a regiment and the commander could be called "general" or "army commander". From this military system, it can be seen that the Royal Legion is different from other legions of the Liang Dynasty, and the personnel are absolutely overstaffed, as the last hole card of the ruler of the Liang Dynasty, which is not difficult to understand.

According to the usual practice, Xuanyi led the pro-guard and the avant-garde troops to march together, the supervising army An Gonggong lived in the middle guard troops, and the deputy battalion commander Mao Xiang led the rearguard troops and the baggage team to march. More than 3,000 people galloped towards Danyang Town in front of them in an orderly manner.

"Boss, what kind of military affairs are there?" Yang Wuxian, the commander of the avant-garde, came over and asked with a smile, he licked his somewhat dry lips, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and he was lurking in the inaccessible valley for several months, almost suffocating the strong man in front of him.

Xuanyi glanced at him: "There is suspected of fair treason in Danyang Town, cheer me up, wait for you to fight!"

Yang Wudi's face was full of joy when he heard this, and he roared: "Obey the order! Hehe! The subordinates will tell the little cubs below to cheer up!" After speaking, he ran to the front of the avant-garde team. Xuan Yi couldn't help but shake his head, the avant-garde commander under his command was really a rough man, especially when fighting in battle.

With the gallop of the war horse, the distance of dozens of miles came in an instant. The destination of this trip Danyang Town belongs to the Liang Dynasty border town under the rule of Ningdu Mansion, is a border town by the mountains and rivers, although it is not as rich as the land of fish and rice, but the life is also self-sufficient, the winding river has raised generations of Danyang people. But today, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves resounded on the outskirts of Danyang Town, and the war was about to destroy this quiet land.

"Boss, this is Danyang!" Yang Wushu and a group of officers gathered around Xuanyi's side and pointed to the town hundreds of meters away.

With the strength of the Liang Dynasty, the surrounding countries did not dare to offend the frontier at all, and the original towering city wall of Danyang Town also became dilapidated because it had not been repaired for many years. However, everything in front of him was a little inconsistent with what Xuan Yi saw in the case.

A gust of incense wind hit, and Gonggong An hurried over from the Central Guard troops with small steps, he stared at Danyang Town in the distance with a gloomy face, and said through gritted teeth: "These damn traitors! General Chu, this big battle depends on you!"

He glanced at Xuanyi meaningfully: "All the lives of our family depend on General Chu." ”

"Obey!" Xuanyi bowed his head and bowed slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the city wall in the distance again, the original dilapidated and collapsed city wall has been repaired for some time, and the wooden city gate has also been replaced with a new copper gate, and even the suspension bridge that has been abandoned for many years has been reactivated, not to mention the heavy bed crossbows on the city wall that shine with cold light.

All this shows that the Fairness Party has been on guard for a long time, and Xuanyi has no time to think about which link has gone wrong, he only feels that his scalp is numb for a while, and he feels deeply difficult.

"Boss, great!" A rough voice suddenly sounded, and it turned out to be the avant-garde commander Yang Wuving.

He excitedly pointed to the heavily guarded Danyang Town in front of him and said loudly: "This big fart town is actually so tightly guarded, there must be big fish in it! Haha, the opportunity for the brothers to become officials and knights has come!" With his words, the surrounding avant-garde soldiers shouted loudly, and the morale instantly reached its peak.

"Boss, give the order!" Yang Wushu looked at Xuanyi with his fists rubbing his hands.

Xuanyi saw that the morale was available, and waved his hand decisively: "The avant-garde commander Yang Wudi listens to the order!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order you to lead the guards and attack Danyang City immediately!"

"Obey!" Yang Invincible Tiger roared and led the crowd out.

The 1,000 avant-garde troops soon formed ten batches of horizontal formations, each team was just 100 people, Yang Wushu stood at the head of the team wearing heavy armor, he took the lead and roared: "Brothers, sweep away the rebellion and make meritorious contributions in this dynasty, follow me into the city!"

As the first wave of attacks, the four horizontal teams followed Yang Invincible towards the city wall of Danyang Town, and Zhou Kenan, the deputy commander of the avant-garde, immediately led the second group of the remaining six horizontal teams to march towards the city wall, and the second group of six horizontal team soldiers took out bows and arrows and crossbows to shoot and attack the city wall.

Yang Wushu galloped under the cover of the rain of arrows and approached within 100 meters of the city wall, and suddenly his feet were soft, and a horse trap several meters wide suddenly appeared at his feet, and the war horse that had cooperated with him for many years neighed and stabilized his body and struggled to jump over the pit before falling down, and the forelimbs of the war horse had been broken, and naturally Yang Wushu could no longer support Yang Invincible to fight.

Yang Wushu turned over and stood up, picked up the shield and long knife hanging on the saddle and continued to rush towards the city wall, behind him was a scene of people turning over on their backs, many soldiers fell to the ground in the horse pit by mistake, but fortunately, there were still hundreds of horsemen who successfully crossed the first obstacle and approached the city wall.

At this time, there were many shadows on the city wall, and many people appeared, and Yang Wushu shouted loudly: "Bow down!

Sure enough, dozens of crossbow machines made a terrifying bowstring sound, and crossbow arrows with thick arms shot out like long snakes, nailing the avant-garde soldiers who could not dodge to the ground with their horses and men, and after paying the price of dozens of lives, the remnants of the riders finally approached the city.

Fortunately, the moat in Danyang Town has been dry for many years due to the silting up of the river, and this time the Fairness Party occupies this place because of the urgency of time, and there is no hurry to dredge the river and introduce the water of the Luojiang River. Yang Wushu led the remnants of the army to rush to the bottom of the city wall, and the group huddled under a city gate to discuss the way to break the city.
