Chapter 104: The Battle of the South Gate (9)

At the foot of the tower, the deputy commander saw his soldiers rolling to the ground, and his eyes widened in surprise: What is the situation? Why did so many soldiers suddenly fall?

In the same situation, the commander did not see it really.

When he saw that the city had not been able to plant Jiang Longwei's banner, he became even more irritable. The small Yuanyang City, thousands of weak soldiers, can also resist my avant-garde light cavalry!

Based on his previous experience in attacking the city of Essi, he gave the order: "Let the 4,000 and 5,000 men attack." Be sure to take the city head quickly and occupy the entire city of Yuanyang City before dark. ”

The deputy commander heard the sound of charging and shouting behind him, and two thousand-man teams of nearly 1,800 people launched a charge. Unfortunately, the soldiers on the ladder have not yet captured the city wall, "You all stop me." ”

The 4,000 and 5,000 household officials are trying to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and where can they stop. They rushed under the ladder and could not climb it at all, and the ladder was full of living and dead people.

After the queue of Jiang Longwei's avant-garde, there was a huge shout of killing, and more than a thousand soldiers armed with Shenji bows and crossbows rushed over, and when they were two arrows away from the command, they fired more than 2,000 light iron arrows at the sixth thousand people of Jiang Longwei's avant-garde.

The commander did not expect that more than 1,000 soldiers would appear after the queue, and the banners in the army -- Yuanyangwei Zhongqianhu and Zuoqianhu were the remnants of Yuanyangwei.

Jiang Longwei's 6,000th avant-garde team turned its horse's head and launched a charge against the Yuanyang soldiers behind him. They wore iron helmets, armor clothes, straddle war horses, held bows and arrows, and hung sabers on their waists, and did not take the army of Yuanyang City in their eyes at all.

As a result, the 6,000th household official and more than 700 of his men were caught off guard and were killed by light iron arrows, and nearly 800 horses were killed or wounded. The cavalry and horses that were lucky enough to be alive formed a circle and surrounded the commander in the middle.

In the land of two arrows, the bow and crossbow of the divine machine can shoot the Jiangcheng soldiers, but the bows and arrows of the Jiangcheng soldiers can only shoot one arrow.

After the first round of light iron arrows, Li Liang, the deputy commander of Yuanyangwei, and Linghu, the head of the new recruits of the Hutou Mountain battalion, came out without illness and stood in front of the formation, with five or six hundred people behind each of them, which were the newly built middle thousand households and left thousand households. The two of them said loudly one after another: "Listen to the password." Then he shouted at the same time, "Load the arrows." ”

The commander was shocked, and before he could speak, six heralds rushed to his eyes, "Report, the 100th Hundred Officers of the 2000-person team ask for instructions on whether to attack the enemy behind the formation." "Report, the 5,000-man 100-man 100-man team 100 household officers asked to defeat the enemy soldiers behind the formation. "Report, the 4,000th team ......"......

The commander agreed to attack the 5,000-man team, the 200-man team, the 6,000-man team, and the 900-man team to attack the remnants of the Yuanyang guard behind the formation.

The commander was surrounded by twenty cavalry guards, worried and uneasy. Could the bows and crossbows in the hands of the remnants of the Yuanyang guards be the Shenji bows and Shenji crossbows that the commander of the whole army said? If this "crossbow soldiers" cannot be defeated, it will be difficult to determine the outcome of the battle.

Li Liang and Linghu Wuxian said anxiously: "Listen to the password." At the same time, he shouted, "aim", "launch".

Seeing this, the two cavalry hundred-man teams could rush to the place where the remnants of the Yuanyang Guard were an arrow away, shoot them into "hedgehogs", and then cut them in two. However, two thousand crossbows and arrows came first, and they were wounded and killed by the arrows.

The remaining cavalry and horses, which had survived the death, turned around and fled back towards their own formation.

Soon, Li Liang and Linghu Wuxian issued the third round of shooting orders for the Shenji bow and crossbow.

The remaining hundred-man team and 6,000 war horses suffered great casualties, and thousands of war horses were forced by the bow and crossbow of the divine machine and had to run towards the ladder.

The thousands of Jiangcheng soldiers under the cloud ladder were scattered by thousands of war horses and mixed into a mess.

Li Liang and Linghu ordered to "put down their bows and crossbows", and the "crossbowmen" were changed to "long-weapon" soldiers armed with guns, spears, halberds, and broadswords, and they quickly formed a neatly arranged phalanx. Moving in unison, they pressed towards the commander and his cavalry guards.

The commander was shocked. He had to retreat under the tower with the remnants of his own defeated soldiers.

The deputy commander under the ladder was surrounded by thousands of his own soldiers and thousands of horses, and he wanted to convey the order to retreat, disperse, and form a formation, but he could not find a herald.

On the tower of the city, the shouts shook the sky, and Zhou Dongcang had already given the order for the final battle. Sun Tu, Jiang Tao, and the commander and deputy commander of the escort battalion shouted hoarsely after taking the lead, and shouted out the mobilization for the final battle against the enemy.

Except for Li Xiao, Mao and Wen, the people on the entire city tower were in a passionate and excited mood, and they frantically shot arrows and stones towards the ladder and the city.

Outside the city of Yuanyang, nearly 2,000 soldiers from the inspection department of the bazaars and strong men from various villages had gathered, and when they saw that the enemy troops at the south gate had moved their positions, they began to adopt guerrilla tactics and attack Jiang Cheng's troops in a sneak attack.

Jiang Longwei's avant-garde commander had been prepared for the appearance of Yuanyang Wei soldiers after the queue, but what he didn't expect was that the light iron bow and crossbow had such a long range and such a huge lethality.

The main forces of the avant-garde light cavalry were still there, and they should immediately give full play to the superiority of the cavalry, maneuver quickly and storm the enemy's formation. However, numerous cavalrymen lost their horses.

When the commander retreated to the bottom of the ladder, more than half of the twenty cavalry guards around him were scattered. The commander was a sixth-order qi refining cultivator, and his heart was arrogant, and he saw Yuan Yangwei's "long weapon" phalanx shield protection, and his steps were neat, and he pushed towards the cloud ladder step by step, so he shouted angrily, and his voice was like thunder: "All the soldiers will rush with me to kill and defeat the enemy behind you." ”

War is a war of a group of people, not a war of one person.

The commander controlled the qi with both hands, flew up, crossed hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of horses, and landed in the "long weapon" phalanx on the left side of Yuan Yangwei. The moment he fell, he drew his sword and killed three people. He was surrounded by the phalanx of "long weapons" on the left, and swung around him to repel the Yuanyang soldiers around him to prevent being injured by the long weapons; he roared and slashed, and after dozens of swords, more than a dozen heads fell to the ground. All the soldiers that the sword could reach were cut down to the ground by him.

Ling Hu Wuxian was secretly surprised to see that the strong man wearing a golden helmet and wearing a light green armor was so powerful. The phalanx of "long weapons" on the left stopped advancing, and surrounded the commander from a distance, and the commander swam away with his sword, and his murderous aura soared.

The "Long Weapon" phalanx on the right, led by Li Liang, continued to squeeze towards the cloud ladder.

Seven or eight cavalry guards wanted to rush over to join the commander, but they were surrounded by the phalanx led by Li Liang, and after the cavalry guards killed several soldiers, they were all killed by the long weapons. An inch long and an inch strong.

One person can't change the battlefield where the army is defeated.

It doesn't help to stay for a long time. The deputy commander made a decision immediately, waved the command flag, and directly issued an order to the soldiers next to him: "Quick, shout loudly, attack south." ”

"Attack to the south. "Attack south. ”......

Regardless of whether there were war horses or not, whether they were their own war horses or not, Jiang Chengbing swarmed towards the south. The soldiers near the ladder and the catapult also abandoned the siege equipment and rushed towards the south. This is actually a rout.
