Chapter 21: The Siege (3)
The power of the hoplites lies in the powerful impact of galloping, which can break everything. But if the cavalry could not charge, then they became useless. Stopped by the slave soldiers, the cavalry had no choice but to restrain their horses. They looked at everything in front of them at a loss, there was never anything to stop them, but today someone did, in front of them was a high wall of piles of corpses of men and horses, heavy equipment doomed them to not be able to jump over, if they continued to rush forward, then they would also follow in the footsteps of the forerunners.
While they were holding back, the slave soldiers had already crossed the wall and attacked the cavalry. Ignoring the spears that pierced their chests, they brutally cut off the heads of their enemies and moved on to the next one. They seem to be immortal, painless, tireless, dragging the outflow of internal organs, hanging only a layer of skin connected to the limbs, they are immersed in the pleasure of killing until they die of blood.
"Devil ......" A hoplite could not stand this terrible scene, screamed, turned and fled.
His escape caused a chain reaction, and one by one the hoplites abandoned the glory and dignity of their knighthood and fled into the distance. If the opponent is a human being, they have nothing to fear, but the opponent is the devil, then even these noble knights can only flee from the wind.
Emperor Han Xian and the others put down the binoculars in their hands and didn't dare to look at them again. Some cowardly people have already vomited on the spot, and the impact caused by these slave soldiers on them is still above Jebe and Qin Yong, is that still human? It's even more devilish than the devil. Emperor Han Xian looked at the loot he had captured from the Caesars in his hands, and for the first time felt a little disgusted by its usefulness.
The people who were watching from a distance were already like this, and the three thousand red lancers behind them were even more terrified, and a cold cold air rushed to the brain along the backbone, and then spread to the whole body, although it was in the air at the moment, although they were wearing thick armor, they didn't feel the slightest warmth. Even if the direction that had been prepared for a long time shouted loudly, the entire queue was inevitably slightly deformed.
Just when the slave soldiers were raging the heavy cavalry, Qin Yong and the others were not empty, and he led a thousand slave soldiers of his team to rush to the city gate. The Caesar people in the city had seen his bravery, and the officers inside cried out: "Close the door, close the door quickly." ”
More than twenty Caesar soldiers swarmed up, and the heavy iron door slowly closed.
Qin Yong has already run to fifty meters below the city at this moment, if it is usual, the city head has already rained arrows, but at this time entrenched in the city is Xu Haifeng's slave soldiers, they will pile up on the city head of the stone and arrow rain into the city, causing great trouble to the inner city, fortunately, they just held the city head, did not rush down, Caesar people for a while can not distinguish manpower, so they have to let it go, temporarily ignore it.
A good Qin Yong, I saw him standing still, raising the bronze lion with his right hand, spinning in place, he turned around a few times like this, and suddenly let go, and suddenly the copper lion of more than 1,000 catties came out of his hand, drew a beautiful parabola, and smashed it on the iron door that was about to close.
The fierce collision of "dong ......" sent out a sound that resounded through the world. The twenty or so Caesar soldiers who were pushing the door only felt an irresistible force coming from the iron gate, and their hands could not resist it at all, and they were slammed on the chest by the iron door. Everyone flew up at the same time, most of them spitting blood in mid-air, their sternums broke and died, and occasionally the few who survived also had their bones shattered and paralyzed to the ground, groaning incessantly. Seeing that they have more gas out and less air in, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape death.
"Close again, close quickly......" shouted the Caesar chief.
More than 20 people rushed out, and they were pushed up by the iron door smashed open by the bronze lion.
The second loud bang of "Knock ......" reappeared, and the ears of the nearby Caesars were buzzing, and some of them even stood unsteadily, and sat down on the ground with a thud, unable to get up.
This time, Qin Yong's bronze lion smashed just right, and half of the lion body was just stuck in the second gate, even if the Caesar people wanted to close, they were helpless.
"Move out, move out quickly......" Caesar commander commanded again.
Just kidding, this thing weighs more than 1,000 catties, and it's not made of paper, so how can it be moved between urging. Several Caesars surrounded the bronze lion, but with all their strength to feed, the bronze lion did not move.
Looking at Qin Yong's figure getting closer and closer, the Caesar chief shouted at his hoarse throat: "Shoot the arrow, give me the arrow, shoot this monster to death." ”
There was no shortage of good archers in the Caesar army, and dozens of arrows shot Qin Yong's body and head almost simultaneously through the open city gate. I could only hear the sound of "ding ding" endlessly, and in addition to taking away some clothes, these arrows shot into Qin Yong's body and made a sound of gold and iron striking. And Qin Yong's shirt became full of holes, and in a fit of anger, he grabbed the collar second-hand, roared, and pulled it hard, and immediately tore the tattered shirt in half. I saw him with his chest open and his breasts exposed, with a fierce look, running towards the city gate. The thousand slave soldiers behind Qin Yong also ripped off their shirts at the same time, and a thousand people went into battle shirtless like this, following Qin Yong to the city gate.
Seeing that Qin Yong was not even afraid of bows and arrows, the Caesar people really had nothing to do. They watched as Qin Yong picked up the bronze lion on the ground and rushed into the city gate with a team of thousands of people. If there is really someone in the world who can be called the courage of Wanfu, then Qin Yong is definitely well-deserved. The weapon in his hand was so powerful that within a few meters, everything was destroyed. The thousand-man team behind him was even more fierce, fighting to the death one by one, but none of them retreated.
Caesar's life was not good, their plan was foolproof, and according to the plan, a victory that would go down in history was imminent. But in the last few days, he encountered Xu Haifeng, a bad star, and under the joint efforts of two masters who surpassed the limits of human beings, the impregnable Lin'an City was finally forced to make a gap. And this gap is constantly expanding until it completely tears the entire line of defense.
"Brothers, rush with me, ......" Xiang Ming shouted and rushed out first. The three thousand red lancers behind him urged the horses forward at the same time, and the distance of a thousand meters was not enough for the cavalry to warm up, not to mention the red sea, which was already known for its speed.
As soon as Xiang Ming's cavalry moved, an order was issued on the hillside for a general attack of the whole army. On the side of Emperor Han Xian, there are many veterans of the battlefield who have been in battle for a long time, and if they don't know how to launch a general attack at this time, they can all go and hang themselves collectively.
When they entered the city, they could no longer see Qin Yong and the others, so they didn't care about guarding the city gate, waiting for friendly support and so on. Maybe in Qin Yong's heart, even if this broken city gate is closed, won't it open again if he smashes the copper lion.
In desperation, Xiang Ming had no choice but to divide half of the cavalry to wander at the city gates, and he led the other half of the cavalry to clear the nearby Caesars. After the follow-up troops entered the city gate and took over the responsibility of defending the city, he dared to give the order to continue to charge the inner city.
Under the command of Liu Zhengzhong, the Han army entered from the gate of the main city in an orderly manner. They split their ways to gain control of a few of the most important places in the shortest possible time. The city was full of swords and swords, and the soldiers on both sides refused to give in to each other, and fierce street battles began.
On the main road of the city, the red lancers galloped back and forth, and since all the hoplites were sent out, no one could stop their iron hooves. All the Caesars who tried to gather their ranks on the main road were struck by their destruction of the caste. However, the most exaggerated and majestic were the 2,000 shirtless slave soldiers under the leadership of Qin Yong.
Their bare upper bodies became the most recognizable symbol, and wherever they appeared, the Caesars immediately began to flee in all directions, and were rarely able to organize a large-scale resistance. However, only these slave soldiers, who did not care about life and death, had the courage to take off their armor. In this kind of dangerous and fierce place, there are infinite killing opportunities hidden everywhere, as long as it is a normal person, I am afraid that the armor is not thick, the sword is not good, and how many people have the courage to take off their armor.
With a huge advantage in numbers, especially Xu Haifeng's Black Flag Army came out from time to time to intimidate, the Han army quickly seized the granary, the Shuaifu and other important places. At this moment, everyone knew that this battle was over, and the Han army had achieved an undoubted absolute victory.
The gate to the north suddenly opened, and thousands of Caesars rushed out on tall horses. These were the high-ranking officials of the Caesar people, who, seeing that they could not return to heaven, had to abandon the wealth and soldiers of the city in order to break out.
The north is indeed the weakness of the Han army, although there are quite a few people arranged, they are all reserve troops, and the elite troops in the two major armies are not deployed here. It's okay to let these reserve troops wave their flags and shout, but the competition of real swords and guns is barely difficult. Most of these thousands of Caesars were cavalry, and they quickly scattered the reserves and fled straight into the distance. By the time Emperor Han Xian organized the cavalry team, the other party had already fled without a trace and could not catch up.
The flight of the Caesar officers represented the official end of the battle, and the unorganized Caesars were simply unable to contend with the morale-boosting Han army. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an order not to kill those who surrendered, most of them chose to surrender except for a few stubborn people.
Two hours later, except for a few occasional skirmishes in the city, the Han army had basically taken control of the entire city.
At this point, Xu Haifeng cautiously entered Lin'an City under the escort of Lin Changkong and more than ten slave soldiers with strong martial arts. He and Xiang Ming met on the main road, and the two high-fived each other and laughed heartily at the same time.
