Chapter 42 Guan Long Qin Feng V
readx;?? Deng Mao's wounds were greatly increased by the siege of more than 20 Liaodong officers and soldiers. www.biquge.info But for Deng Mao, he knew very well that in such a situation, it would be difficult for him to return to the Great Wall, because those Liaodong officers and soldiers standing in front of him would not let go of his big fish so easily.
For Zhang Jiashi, Deng Mao was surrounded by groups in such an environment, which was something he never expected.
He could not help but be stunned when he heard that the troops at the front reported that they had encountered a high-ranking officer of the enemy army, because in such a situation, it would be very difficult to meet a county lieutenant or even a county guard of the upper county troops.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that such a thing could happen. After he came back to his senses and looked at the collapsed city wall, it was not impossible for Deng Mao to be implicated after the third blasting operation just now.
And Deng Mao was in a predicament at such a time, Zhang Jiashi naturally didn't know what the situation was, that is, once Deng Mao was killed, the entire Shangjun area could be regarded as temporarily falling into the point of being leaderless. Even if it is impossible to let the enemy army in Shangjun fall into a great reduction in command for a long time, what Zhang Jiashi needs is just a day or two of chaos to better break through the defense system in the Great Wall area.
Zhang Jiashi's troops suffered heavy casualties, and in less than an hour of fighting, the first wave of 20,000 troops he sent out had already lost more than half.
Some time before Zhang Jiashi learned the information that Deng Mao was besieged by his officers and soldiers, he did not think about letting the second group of troops under Wang Li's command replace the troops on the front line and continue the offensive on the Great Wall of Shangjun.
It is indeed very flawed to rely solely on the climbing method of cloud ladders, but one thing that cannot be denied is that the combat effectiveness of the Shangjun troops has also been reduced to a great extent. Although the troops in the Upper County are not short of armaments. However, Deng Mao's tens of thousands of Shangjun troops under his command were too large, and it was difficult to achieve a more effective rotation of operations for a while.
Under such a premise, on the Shangjun Great Wall, the troops under the command of Zhang Jiashi, who had suffered heavy casualties in less than an hour of fierce fighting, and the officers and soldiers with several ladders, were engaged in a fierce battle with the Shangjun troops on the aisle of the Great Wall.
......
Near the fierce battle area of the Great Wall of Shangjun, a beacon fire had already been lit, and in an area about ten miles south of the battle area, Jiang Lie could also see the beacon smoke rising in the distance.
In a sense, it doesn't necessarily make much sense for the defenders of the beacon tower to do this, but for such a situation, it is obviously the model of the Shangjun troops in the Great Wall area asking for help. That is to say, Deng Mao is in a predicament in the face of his comrades who should be attacking.
Jiang Lie's mood was very conflicted, because he didn't expect that the main force of the Liaodong Army alone would be able to do such a thing.
Of course, he is not the kind of person who is jealous of others, and after thinking about it slowly, he sent his own personal guards to convey his thoughts to He Huai and Xiahou Ying, who commanded the troops behind him.
Because he judged one situation, that is, now is still a good time for him to intervene in the battlefield.
After waiting for his guards to ride their horses back, Jiang Lie did not delay longer, but personally led the troops and immediately rushed to the exit.
......
A few minutes later, when he heard about Xiahou Ying and He Huai arranged by Jiang Lie, he was very surprised that Jiang Lie would make such a rash choice. But He Huai reacted quickly, because he himself was very aware of one situation, that is, Jiang Lie's judgment should be correct.
For a melee situation that is at a stalemate, the investment of a new force is likely to turn the unfavorable situation around.
He Huai did not think that Zhang Jiashi could put more troops into combat at once in such a place as the Great Wall, and that he could only use the "refueling tactics" to consume the combat ability of the defenders in such a terrain as the Great Wall.
This is also a problem that Jiang Lie considers. If a beacon fire had been lit in the area of the Great Wall, the situation would have been quite dangerous for the defenders. In such a situation, if Jiang Lie did not have such a decision, he would not have become the task of Wang Li to stay and become the commander of the Northern Frontier Army with Yang Wengzi and others.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Captain Xiahou, you are now leading our light chariot soldiers to quickly reinforce, and I will lead the material officer troops, and then catch up!"
After Xiahou Ying heard He Huai's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but then he also thought of why He Huai arranged it like this.
After all, this place is a straight road, and it is not too restricted by the terrain. It is not an impossible idea for the light chariot unit to fully display the combat capability of the units under its command.
In such a situation, Xiahou Ying nodded, and did not shirk such an arrangement.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
"Huhu ......" Deng Mao's physical exertion is very large, and because many wounds in his body have not been treated, in the case of excessive blood loss, Deng Mao feels very tired and unbearable pain all over his body.
He lightly glanced at the corpses of more than 20 Liaodong officers and soldiers he had killed, as well as more and more Liaodong officers and soldiers who were moving closer here, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.
Deng Mao clearly felt that with his current physical strength and increasingly weak body, it would be difficult for him to do one thing, that is, he would not be able to survive in this situation.
And now the closest to him are three Liaodong officers and soldiers holding a large iron shield in their hands and a long-handled knife in their left hand.
In such a situation, he took a deep breath, and shouted loudly to the Liaodong officers and soldiers who couldn't see how many people there were in front of him: "Come on, if you want to take the head of my Deng Mao's neck, you have to see if you have such a capability!!"
Deng Mao held a steel long sword in his hand, which had already appeared many gaps due to the situation of weapons being connected, and had obviously been dulled a lot, and rushed towards the three heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army.
These three heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army were the three small soldiers left over from the group of rushing troops who were almost killed by Deng Mao.
Heavily armoured and equipped with swords and shields, they hated the enemy who had slaughtered them all in the same tun's robes.
They were not afraid of this demon, nor did they show any fear of death, but after taking a deep breath, they began to cooperate with each other to fight against Deng Mao.
Deng Mao's strength is not comparable to the three heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army, as a person who also has a certain reputation for bravery among Zhao Gao's henchmen, Deng Mao's strength is not too far behind Ruan Weng Shao, a fierce general of the Liaodong Army.
But so many wounds on Deng Mao's body were brought to Deng Mao by the officers and soldiers who were killed by him in front of him, using the coordinated operations brought by each other.
And Deng Mao soon discovered a situation, that is, even if he attacked one enemy like this, the other two enemies would interfere with him and constantly attack him. And the enemy he faced was more about protecting himself.
It was not that Deng Mao did not know how to deal with such a coordinated enemy, but with his current situation, he himself could not do the fierce and subtle attack that made it difficult for these ordinary officers and soldiers to react as he did at the beginning.
Originally, for Deng Mao, the ordinary Qin officers and soldiers who were not worth mentioning, after seeing the hope that they could bring him harm and even kill the other party, Deng Mao's minor and serious wounds became more and more.
Perhaps, Deng Mao did not imagine that in such a situation, he would be killed in such a place by ordinary people who he had completely ignored.
A dull metallic sound came from the "bell !!", and Deng Mao slashed his sword on the shield of a heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army, trying to use internal force to cut off the opponent's waist.
But this loud bang shows that as the end of the strong crossbow, he can't do such a thing at all.
He was a little stunned, but the sharp pain in his left arm made him scream.
He quickly looked at the position where such a sharp pain came, and another Qin army heavy infantry directly cut off the upper part of Deng Mao's arm with the medium-handled glaive knife in his hand.
Deng Mao's hands and severed shoulder armor fell into the passage of the city gate that was piled with dust, rubble, corpses, and blood.
Deng Mao wanted to retreat, but for Deng Mao, he couldn't even do such an idea, just as Deng Mao wanted to retreat, the third heavy infantry slashed the glaive knife in his hand, because Deng Mao just jumped back, Deng Mao's hand holding the long sword, and then with the severed bracer, as well as a piece of wrist, also fell to the ground.
Deng Mao's face was extremely distorted in pain, and when his hands were useless, no matter how high Deng Mao's martial arts were, he was powerless to return to the sky.
The heavy infantry who was attacked by Deng Mao took the opportunity to stab the Glaive in his hand. Although Deng Mao jumped backwards, the tip of the Glaive Knife could only pierce the flesh of Deng Mao's left chest, but because of Deng Mao's armor and being pierced, Deng Mao still felt another sharp pain stimulating his nerves.
Deng Mao, who was retreating, howled at the same time, saw three enemy soldiers pressing him closely.
He was very unwilling, and said loudly: "I am not convinced!! I cannot die at the hands of these lowly people...... Medium"
Before Deng Mao could finish such a sentence, he felt the other party stab the tips of the two knives into his body, and before he involuntarily bent down, he saw the blade that slashed at him, and then a body that had lost its head appeared in his eyes......
Shangjun Taishou Deng Mao was killed in battle with the Liaodong Army in late February 207 BC.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Although Deng Mao is dead, it does not mean that this battle can be over.
The Shangjun troops are also a member of the Northern Frontier Army, and in terms of fighting will, they are basically much stronger than the various enemies encountered by Zhang Jiashi.
can be compared, probably only under Zhang Han, the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire, which has been destroyed.
However, after losing Deng Mao's command, the resistance of the Shangjun Qin army on the Great Wall weakened a lot, which is because of the loss of effective command and coordination.
The combat effectiveness of the Qin army in Shangjun was not low, although after occupying Henan, the elite troops of the Shangjun defenders were gradually transferred to Yunzhong County in the north, Jiuyuan County, Henan County in the west, Beidi County in the southwest, and Longxi County in the distance.
But this does not mean one thing, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Shangjun Qin army troops is very poor.
Otherwise, the attack troops under Zhang Jiashi's command would not have paid such a big price.
Compared with such a situation, in the case of the Great Wall gradually entering the battle, after Jiang Lie's troops entered the rear of the garrison of a Qin army in Shangjun, which was being mobilized, the captain of this Qin army looked at this knight force that was no different from them with some astonishment.
He was about to send someone to ask what was going on, but he saw that the enemy army had not slowed down, and seemed to be preparing to attack.
"Are these enemies?" the lieutenant did not react for a moment, and a wave of dense arrows that fell from the sky less than half a minute later showed that he was right in this idea.
"Quickly end the formation, resist the enemy's !!" The lieutenant couldn't help but hurriedly shouted this sentence, but after the second wave of arrows fell, this Qin army officially fell into chaos.
And at such a time, after launching the third wave of arrows and continuing to shoot and injure many Shangjun Qin troops, Jiang Lie, who led this group of knights, ran his internal strength and shouted loudly: "All people assault !!"
After shouting this order, Jiang Lie first clenched the long beryllium in his hand and leveled it on the side of the horse's neck, ready to give the enemy a charge.
Of course, more people will not do this like Jiang Lie, because Jiang Lie's approach, for some people with slightly worse strength, will be taken off the war horse by the recoil force.
But for people who have a certain strength and are relatively proficient in equestrianism, such a means of combat is not too much of a problem.
It's just that many of such people in the Qin army are relatively high-ranking Qin army officers.
......
The sprint distance of less than 100 meters is only less than nine seconds for the knight troops of the Liaodong Army who are running at high speed.
The officers and knights of the Qin army who rushed forward quickly knocked over a group of Shangjun Qin troops on the periphery, and then, Jiang Lie and the officers and knights under his command continued to attack their former robes with the weapons in their hands, and they did not show mercy to their subordinates.
For these knights from Jiuyuan County or the Liaodong Army, these Qin troops from Shangjun are no longer their teammates, but have become their enemies.
Naturally, there is no mercy on one's enemies.
Many Shangjun Qin officers and soldiers simply did not have much way to organize an effective resistance. After all, Jiang Lie's arrival was too short, and they didn't know that this was an enemy at first.
Therefore, after the three waves of arrows shot by Jiang Lie's army, the Shangjun Qin army, which was officially in chaos, faced the knight assault led by Jiang Lie, and was more able to temporarily resist the offensive of Jiang Lie's army with the effective counterattack of a small number of personnel.
However, after less than fifteen minutes of fierce fighting, Jiang Lie's army officially dispersed this Shangjun Qin army, which was mainly infantry.
In the melee, a captain under Jiang Lie's command caught up with the commander of the Shangjun Qin army, and couldn't help shouting: "Take your life to !!"
This Shangjun Qin military captain did not expect that he would be caught up by the enemy so quickly, and he could not calmly deal with it in his eagerness, so he could only barely rely on a short sword in his hand to block the scimitar wielded by the opponent.
After the two fought a few times, Jiang Liejun's captain aimed at an opportunity and directly cut the opponent's head away.
But because the Qin army under the command of the other party was already in chaos, what this captain did did not have much effect.
Soon, the Shangjun Qin army, which was scattered by the cavalry under Jiang Lie's command, lost the strength of the formation maintenance, and many people quickly scattered and fled in all directions.
In such a situation, after Jiang Lie pierced the chest of a hundred generals of the Qin army with a long beryllium in his hand, he saw such a situation, and he didn't know if he should pursue the other party.
But he soon came to his senses, because the knights of the guard, who had followed him in the charge, saw reinforcements behind.
A part of the crossbow chariots assigned by Zhang Jia's division and a large number of chariot units of various chariots of the Northern Frontier Corps appeared in their rear.
This also shows that Xiahou Ying knows very well how to cooperate with him.
So, after having people order the troops to regroup, Jiang Lie then quickly led the knight troops with not too many casualties again and continued to attack north.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
After solving Deng Mao, the county guard, a large number of Liaodong officers and soldiers climbed to the city gate tower with a ladder through the collapsed gap.
It's not that these Qin officers and soldiers didn't want to be able to open the passage of the city gate and enlarge the army into the south of the Great Wall. Instead, the Qin army troops in Shangjun had already blocked all kinds of debris in the passage of the city gate, mainly stones.
Obviously, in this case, it has become impossible to open the gate directly from the other side.
In the place where the city gate tower did not collapse, many Shangjun Qin officers and soldiers who were injured by the earthquake were groaning, and some of them had lost their breath.
What is very strange to these officers and soldiers of Liaodong County who have climbed the city gate tower is that there are no personnel with sufficient combat effectiveness left in these city gate towers.
After freeing some of the wounded, they quickly occupied this important place.
And Zhang Jiashi, who observed the situation through the grass dragonfly, saw that in the continuous passage of the Great Wall, more and more officers and soldiers under his command continued to climb up the passage of the Great Wall and fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers of the county Qin.
Less than half an hour later, as long as it was an engagement area on the Great Wall, it was difficult to find any trace of the Qin army in Shangjun.
In the area below the Great Wall, it gradually turned into an even more tragic melee situation.
It is not that the troops under the command of Zhang Jiashi do not want to assemble in formation, but they are often only able to pass through the beacon tower and go up and down the Great Wall.
Zhang Jiashi shook his head helplessly, he couldn't control such a battle situation, after all, this time to attack the city, he didn't expect that there would be such a result that surprised him.
Looking at the corpses on the Great Wall and outside, Zhang Jiashi silently broke the spell link with the grass dragonfly, and slowly said a sentence: "By doing this, we have already obtained the way to enter Guanzhong." But perhaps these people should have had better results. ”
Chen Ping's people beside Zhang Jiashi did not speak, but glanced at each other very calmly.
After all, Zhang Jiashi said such a sentence, and it was not easy for them to directly say their thoughts.
