804 Defensive pressure
readx;
After two hours, the cavalry had recovered some of their strength, and the horses had been fed, Marshal Gamudi gave up all the carts and the remaining grain and fodder that could not be carried, and the army slowly moved in the direction of Wild Horse City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Marshal Gamudi's army of more than 50,000 arrived at Wild Horse City, the black and white flags of the Dragon Roar Empire were already planted at the head of the city. Seeing the number of defenders on the city wall, Marshal Gamudi was also numb, and now that the army was exhausted and had no heart to fight, it was because of the time when the combat effectiveness was at its lowest, that it was really difficult for them to attack the city.
Despite this, Marshal Gamudi was not a man to give up easily, and he ordered Abda to lead a force of 10,000 men and launch a tentative attack. Looking at the Chagatai cavalry rushing over, Xiao Jinchen at the head of the city smiled slightly, although he knew that the other party had a large number of troops, he had a lot of confidence in his soldiers. He knew that reinforcements would not be far away, and as long as he could hold out for a short time, he would be able to hold the city firmly.
Xiao Jinchen knew the truth of the first voice, and when he saw the other party attacking, he immediately ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to shoot with bows and arrows. The cavalry each has an iron tire bow, this kind of iron tire bow using spring steel as the back of the bow is extremely powerful, the range is enough to reach 300 meters away, if it is a 45-degree angle diffuse, it is definitely not inferior to a one-person tall yew wood longbow.
Seeing that the Chagatai people entered the firing range, Xiao Jinchen gave an order, and the arrows at the head of the city suddenly rained down, and the Chagatai cavalry who didn't have time to raise their shields were suddenly killed and wounded. But after all, the equipment of the Chagatai people is not what it used to be, with the steel armor defense of the whole body, and then raising the oblong shield, at least more than a hundred meters away, the iron tire bow can hardly shoot through the opponent's armor.
The Chagatai army led by Abda quickly approached the city, although they did not have a ladder, but with the use of Dawan horses like stacked arhats, people could touch up to four meters high, and the walls of the Wild Horse City made of earth were in disrepair, full of holes, easy to climb, so the Chagatai cavalry was still able to easily attack the head of the city.
"Smash me hard with a rolling log. Xiao Jinchen gave an order, and the beams and trees that were removed from the earthen house were thrown down, and the Chagatai cavalry who smashed them were in a panic, and many people were smashed and their heads were bleeding. After all, there were not many beams, and they were all consumed after only one round of attacks, after which the warriors had to shoot with bows and arrows against the stones that the Chagatai people had hit with flying stone ropes, while some of them stabbed the city with spears and stabbed those who were about to climb to the top of the city.
After all, the cavalry is small, and under the attack of the opponent from all sides, the personnel are a little insufficient, but fortunately, their armor is strong enough, and it is not easy to let them be seriously injured, so most of them still maintain their combat effectiveness.
Abda's forces were unable to capture the city, but they did retreat after nearly half an hour of entanglement, giving Marshal Gamudi hope. It was clear that the city was short on troops, which gave him a chance to retake Mustang City.
"Send 30,000 troops to continue the siege, I want to take back the Wild Horse City. With a snap of the saber in Gamudi's hand, the three captains whose names were named immediately led their team to rush out of the queue and rush towards Mustang City.
The warriors had a limited number of feathered arrows, and they did not dare to squander them casually. Only when they were close enough to kill the enemy would the warriors kill the enemy with their bows and arrows, which greatly reduced the hindrance to the Chagatai people, and they quickly attacked the city.
Fortunately, there was only one gate in Mustang City, and it had been blocked with adobe by the warriors, so now the cavalry warriors could concentrate on dealing with the enemies who were climbing the city. The battle in Mustang City was extremely fierce, and Xiao Jinchen and the others knew that once the other party attacked the city, they would be completely annihilated. And the Chagatai people also knew very well that without this place, most of the food supplies of the Eastern Expeditionary Army would no longer exist, let alone a counteroffensive, and even whether they could survive this winter was unknown, so both sides were desperate.
The battle at the head of the Mustang City entered a white-hot stage, and the soldiers on both sides fought each other selflessly, but as the Chagatai cavalry more and more climbed to the top of the city, the soldiers of Xiao Jinchen's cavalry wing began to gradually lose power. After all, their numbers are much smaller, and in the absence of equipment to defend the city, it is difficult for the defenders to take advantage.
Seeing that the defense line of the city wall was about to collapse, Xiao Jinchen gritted his teeth and wanted to send someone to the city to light a fire, even if they all died here, they could not leave the supplies to the Chagatai people, at this moment, the snow waves were rolling in the distance, and the cavalry lined up in a neat line, rushing towards the Wild Horse City, and Yue Yun finally arrived at the critical moment.
Seeing that Mustang City was already in danger, Yue Yun didn't organize the formation, and directly pointed forward with the spear in his hand and said, "Everyone follow me and defeat the rear team of the Chagatai people." ”
The soldiers of the cavalry division shouted loudly, desperately urging the cloud horses and rushing towards the main formation where Marshal Gamudi was. The so-called main formation is nothing more than less than 20,000 frightened and undetermined defeated troops, and they can attack a small city under superior circumstances, so that they can fight in the wilderness with a large number of enemies, and they can only be slaughtered.
The cavalry division led by Yue Yun lined up in a wedge-shaped formation that was not very neat, and stabbed into the formation of the Chagatai army's reserves. This reserve is different from the one last time under the flail pass, the last reserve was a fresh force that was full of strength and had not gone through any battle, and this reserve was only the weakest fighting force among the defeated troops, and it was not even capable of attacking the city. The result of such a cavalry unit against Shang Yueyun's cavalry division can be imagined.
Marshal Gamudi wanted to take the iron guards around him to block the front and buy time for these cavalry to form a formation, but he didn't have time to react, and the cavalry division was already in close contact with the reserves. The sharp knife of the cavalry division was like cutting through the butter, piercing the formation of the reserves, and the unmoraled Chagatai reserves collapsed directly, and they scattered and fled for their lives, no longer caring about military discipline.
Yue Yun ignored the soldiers who had fled, after losing the formation, they were just cattle and sheep. The speed of the entire cavalry division continued unabated, and after cutting through the reserve formation, it rushed like a whirlwind towards the Chagatai cavalry who were desperately climbing up under the Wild Horse City.
Marshal Gamudi was frightened when he saw the actions of the cavalry division, he knew that he was finished, and his own Eastern Crusade Army was also finished, and now all he could do was to flee as far as his cronies and iron guards along. For those beings who can kill the War King, he doesn't think that his Iron Guard's ability to turn the tide is not good under the Blue Pass, nor can it be in Mustang City.
