Section 200 Siege and Killing
Yuan Wuwei guessed correctly, at this time, Liu Yansi was opening the east gate and letting the Ziqing cavalry enter the city.
In terms of how to conceive and plan, Caizhou is still missing.
The smoke from the fire in the sky indicates that the arson organized by the beggars group has been successful, which cleverly dragged down some of the gentry's family soldiers, after all, they are all burning their own property, and they are also distressed, and it is also appropriate to allocate some people to fight the fire.
Coupled with the successful arrangement of Xuzhou at the east gate, almost no one prevented the Ziqing army from entering the city smoothly from the east gate.
Therefore, when the Caizhou cavalry arrived at the east gate in a hurry, they only saw the sweeping situation of the Ziqing cavalry entering the city at the east gate, and did not have time to think about it, Yuan Wenliang joined Zhao Tong and launched an attack on the Ziqing infantry army that followed along the official road in the east.
Yuan Wenliang didn't know if this would achieve his goal, but now he had no choice.
Seeing that most of the cavalry army had entered the city, Liu Yansi was also determined in his heart, he had already received the news that the Caizhou army had launched an offensive at the West Gate, and was breaking through the West Gate, intending to enter the city.
When he got the news, Liu Yansi assessed the situation.
He didn't think that the monks of Qingliang Temple and Kaiyuan Temple could play much of a role, even if there were indeed some martial arts masters among the monks and soldiers of the two temples, but compared with the roles of Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Wuxing and the Eight Pillars of Ruyang, they were still far behind, and Liu Yansi never pinned his hopes on others.
Therefore, he made a very decisive decision to launch an attack along Shuncheng Street, and the Caizhou army, which may have broken through in front of the hard bar, as for the follow-up troops, he believed that Chai Yong could arrange it properly.
Several torrents, or along the main street within the city wall, or along the east-west axis of Song City-Shuncheng Street, collided head-on.
And the two battalions of cavalry arranged by Liu Yansi outside the city to raid the Caizhou army at the west gate and waiting to enter the city were also just right.
Yuan Wuwei didn't think that the Xuzhou army might attack outside the city, but he thought that the top priority of the Xuzhou army was to control the city, and Liu Yansi first needed to squeeze out the Caizhou army from the city, which was what Liu Yansi should do, so when the two battalions of the Ziqing cavalry swept from outside the city, they did take the Caizhou cavalry who were preparing to enter the city by surprise.
However, the accident does not mean that there is no prevention, and it is only a little delayed in time, and the Caizhou cavalry quickly stabilized the situation by virtue of its numerical superiority, but it still brought some impact to the Caizhou cavalry's entry into the city.
The battle on the head of the city has already been decided, even if there is a master of the White Horse Temple to help, but in the face of a heavenly powerhouse of Yuan Wuwei's level, the three of them joined forces and retreated in less than ten rounds.
The price paid was that two people were seriously injured and one was slightly injured, and the only lucky thing was that all three were able to escape, this was because Yuan Wuwei had no time to care, and ensuring the smooth entry of the Caizhou army into the city was the top priority.
However, the monks and soldiers from the two temples did not completely withdraw from the battlefield, they were still dormant in the houses inside the west gate, waiting for an opportunity to attack, which forced Yuan Wuwei to have to arrange Yuan Wenqing, Yuan Wenhe and others around the city gate, in the face of this kind of attack by the masters of the Heavenly Rank and the Heavenly Realm, the cavalry entering the city was very susceptible to interference, affecting the speed of the cavalry entering the city, which was probably one of the purposes of the other party.
This also forced Yuan Wuwei to take a defensive position in the area of the West City Gate, only in this way can he ensure that the West Gate is not lost, which is the key to the subsequent Caizhou infantry army entering the city.
In contrast, the situation on the east side of the gate was much better, and Liu Yansi, who had firmly controlled the situation at the east gate, had already taken the initiative to launch an offensive without waiting for Chai Yong to command the infantry to arrive.
The second army of the Ziqing cavalry spread out to both flanks, and just collided head-on with the incoming Caizhou cavalry, and the two sides were immediately strangled together.
Although there are Yuan Wenliang and Zhao Tong, the two figures in the eight pillars of Ruyang, who lead the army, but in the face of the strong Ziqing Iron Cavalry, the disadvantages of the Caizhou Cavalry are revealed, even if there is still a significant gap between the combat effectiveness of the Second Army of the Ziqing Cavalry and the First Army of the Ziqing Cavalry, but compared with the Caizhou Cavalry, it is not weak at all, on the contrary, there are still some advantages on the horse.
Caizhou has always been short of horses, so it is also difficult to develop cavalry.
But even so, the Yuan family gritted their teeth and bought horses from Guanzhong, and built a cavalry army of nearly 10,000 people, and after the annexation of Yingbo Erzhou, the cavalry army expanded rapidly to six armies of 15,000 people, but compared with Xuzhou, it is still far behind.
However, at this time, the Caizhou cavalry still showed the combat effectiveness of a cavalry army, and in the face of the Ziqing cavalry whose horses were obviously one head higher, they were still fearless in riding their horses and waving their swords, and they responded to the battle brazenly.
In the entire field within a radius of several miles outside the east gate, it immediately became a bloody battlefield, with people shouting and neighing, gold and iron resonating, human heads rolling, and flesh and blood flying.
The speed of the Ziqing Army's infantry came quickly, faster than expected.
At this time, the discipline and combat effectiveness of Lao Huai's right infantry army can be best displayed, and in the face of the chaotic battle situation outside the east gate, Huang Anjin methodically arranged the five battalions to spread out in an arc offensive.
Huang Anjin was appointed as the commander of the First Army of the Ziqing Army Infantry this time.
If it is about martial arts strength, Huang Anjin is qualified for this position, but he is actually slightly lacking.
Although in the past two years, Jiang Feng has provided him with the help he can, including the use of the "Green Capsule Book" The elixir refined by the method of Zhongzhi was specially given two to help him consolidate his origin, and at the same time, he also put a lot of effort into the guidance of the Five Bird Gong, and Huang Anjin himself is also diligent and hardworking, plus he has also experienced several hard battles, and he has been hard at it, but after all, his foundation is still a little thinner, even if the strength of martial arts has improved a lot in the past two years, but until now it can only be regarded as stepping into the late stage of rest, and there is still some distance from the Taixia period, unless he encounters some special encounters, he may not be able to step into the small heaven in this life。
Martial arts practice, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the requirements for talent are very high, if you say that the strength of the heavenly realm can still make a breakthrough by diligent cultivation, but to cross the threshold of heavenly strength, without enough talent and a good foundation since childhood, it is basically impossible.
Although Huang Anjin has rested in the temple since he was a child, the White Horse Temple has a line of martial arts, but first, he has to meet a famous teacher too late, and the foundation is not so solid, and secondly, his martial arts talent is indeed not very good, it can only be said to be in the middle and upper posture, so although there are some opportunities after joining the army, there are some advances, but as he grows older, this kind of entry is not obvious.
It wasn't until Jiang Feng deliberately cultivated it, and gave a lot of inclination in martial arts cultivation and pill assistance, plus he himself dared to sacrifice his life and forget death in several battles to stimulate all his potential, which could be regarded as a real breakthrough.
It can be said that without Jiang Feng's deliberate support, Huang Anjin would have stopped at most in the resting period, but now that he has entered the late stage of rest, trying to break through the Taixia period, and even in the future, he is eager to have the opportunity to impact the small heavenly position, so he never hesitates to fight, as long as he has the opportunity, he will go out to fight.
Of course, all this needs to be built on the premise of obeying the battle situation, Huang Anjin is not the kind of person who does not care about the overall situation, he certainly understands the meaning of this battle.
Because of this, he had to not only be carefully arranged, but also to take the lead and launch the most ferocious blow.
In the face of the tragic entanglement between the Caizhou cavalry and the Ziqing cavalry, the entire battlefield outside the east gate was a bloody storm, but Huang Anjin's heart was unmoved.
He knew that now was not the time to deal with these stalemate cavalry, his first task was to enter the city, only by entering the city, can the combat power of the infantry army be maximized, but if anyone dared to stop his sons from entering the city, he would not hesitate to fight, let them understand the truth of the death of those who stand in my way.
In the narrow battlefield environment, the infantry soldiers can flexibly form a formation and launch an attack, while on the contrary, it is not so easy for the cavalry soldiers to re-form a formation, especially when they are still in a state of melee with the Ziqing cavalry.
Soon, the Caizhou cavalry that was blocking the official road was swept away, and the infantry army in an arc-shaped attack formation began to advance, and this attack formation made the Caizhou cavalry assembled in this section suffer enough.
Following Huang Anjin's First Army of the Ziqing Infantry Army came the Fifth Army of the Ziqing Infantry Army, which was reorganized by Gu Hua's probation army.
Huang Anjin's First Army of the Ziqing Infantry Army opened the way, and the Fifth Army of the Ziqing Infantry Army followed closely.
Seeing that Huang Anjin's First Army was attacking fiercely, and even took the initiative to expand the attack circle and surround and kill the Caizhou cavalry that had been divided, the Fifth Army was naturally not willing to be left behind.
Gu Hua has been waiting for an opportunity, but after losing Bozhou and throwing himself into Huaiyou, the army he led has not been given much opportunity.
This time, as the king of the county carried out a large-scale rectification of the entire Huaiyou Army system and replanned the Five Towns Army, the army in his hands was mixed with the old Huaiyou Army and the Ziqing Army to form the new Ziqing Army.
For Gu Hua, the Ziqing Army was arranged to fight for Songzhou, which was the best opportunity, and it was against Gu Hua's most hated enemy, the Yuan clan of Caizhou.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but this time the opportunity is to come to Germany so quickly, which makes Gu Hua secretly happy in his heart.
When Yuan Wenliang's figure fell into Gu Hua's eyes, he knew that his own opportunity had come.
Although he also noticed another young master who echoed Yuan Wenliang from afar, he had never seen it, but the strength of martial arts was also in the late stage of rest, not inferior to himself, and it was estimated that he should also be a figure in the Eight Pillars of Ruyang.
It seems that this time the Caizhou Yuan clan is also determined to win Songzhou, and actually led the cavalry army to attack their own infantry army with the Eight Pillars of Ruyang, probably not expecting that they could break into Song City so quickly.
With Huang Anjin here, he felt that if he joined forces with the First Army, this would be a good opportunity to besiege and kill.
