Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Surprise Attack

"Tiezhu, were you scared just now?"

"Don't be afraid, my mother said, as long as you follow the commander, you will be fine."

"Yes, believe me and your comrades-in-arms, I will definitely take you and everyone back safely."

Li Yong patted the shoulder of Li Tiezhu, who was only seventeen years old, and looked at Zhanxiang City in front, if it is a city, it is better to say that it is a Tuchengzi, this is really a Turkic territory, and there are Turkic heavy soldiers stationed in it, his black army just raided the Evil Yang Ridge two hours ago, and rushed here non-stop, the Turks who occupied the Xiangcheng have not yet found that their Evil Yang Ridge is gone, this is Li Yong's opportunity, the black army is doing a short rest on horseback, and the ghosts continue to report all kinds of information to Li Yong.

"Commander, the strength in Zhanxiang City is almost ten times worse than ours, but they are all infantry, and they have an advantage over us in terms of defense, we are cavalry, and siege is a disadvantage, we have observed, and the defense is relatively tight."

"The enemy's strength and geographical location are indeed more advantageous than ours, but we also have our advantages, the battle of the black army is not a disparity between the enemy and us, we have heavy cavalry, this is our advantage, pass the order, the whole army stops resting and preparing for battle, the second squadron opens the city gate to meet the troops according to the original plan, Liu Renliang, you take your heavy cavalry to be the main force this time, you storm the south gate, be sure to attract and suppress the enemy, and buy time for the follow-up troops to attack, the 123rd Regiment after the heavy cavalry regiment suppresses the enemy, Attack the east, west, and north gates as quickly as possible, and end the battle before dawn. ”

After receiving Li Yong's combat order, the black army began to deploy as planned, and after the regiments outside the four gates of Zhanxiang City were deployed as planned, the ghosts disappeared into the night, they were the ghosts of the night, the enemy's nightmare, they used various gestures to communicate, infiltrated, dispersed, and began to act, you are responsible for the one on the right, I am responsible for the one on the left, pay attention, prepare, act...... The special forces in Zhanxiang City were doing all kinds of gestures taught to them by Li Yong, and the sentinels in Zhanxiang City were wiped out by them one after another without moving, and the purpose of being targeted by them turned into corpses in the next second, becoming lonely ghosts and wild ghosts in the grassland.

Liu Renliang stared intently at the south gate of Zhanxiang City, without looking at the five hundred heavy horsemen behind him and raised his hand, the sound of the black army's unique steel plate slowly sliding down the card slot, and finally the sound of "click~" stuck, he was waiting, Li Yong was also waiting, the entire black army was waiting, the Turks who occupied Xiangcheng did not know that the sickle of death had been raised high, ready to harvest their lives, time passed little by little, the city gate in the dark had not yet opened, Liu Renliang and his heavy cavalry pressed their excited and irritable hearts, they were all veterans, They used the original infantry to hang Tuyuhun, and later became light cavalry, and finally became the envy of the Xishan soldiers heavy cavalry, this is not their first battle, but this is their first battle as the main force of heavy cavalry, not only to attract more than 30,000 Turks in the city, but also to suppress them to give other comrades-in-arms the opportunity to encircle the enemy, saying that there is no pressure, it is impossible, compared to them only 500 people, they are not afraid of death or sacrifice, but afraid of not completing the task. The long wait is the most anxious, when Liu Renliang saw the city gate slowly open, this wait finally ended, he had been holding the hand pointed forward, and then tightened the reins in his hand, his legs to the horse under the crotch, the heavily armored war horse slowly ran up, in the city in Turkic language shouted the enemy attack, his war horse speed became faster and faster, and finally turned into a gallop, he saw the ghost who pushed open the city gate kneeling by the heavy city gate, motionless and dead holding the city gate, In order to complete the task, he stayed in the Turkic steppe forever, and the horse lance in Liu Renliang's hand was slowly raised to the chest position, which was the assault posture of the cavalry, and the five hundred heavy cavalry behind him also made the same attack posture, looking at the thick shield wall that had been formed in front of him, the eyes of the heavy riders were indifferent. "Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~" A sound of steel and iron collided with the battle of Zhanxiangcheng, five hundred heavy cavalry like a black wave slapping on the fragile embankment, the Turkic shield wall was vulnerable to breaking through, the long horse lance pierced the body of one Turkic soldier after another, the sharp black knife cut through their fragile armor and cut them in two, more and more supporting Turkic soldiers surrounded the five hundred heavy cavalry, and the rider who threw down the war horse threw away the horse lance in his hand, pulled out the black knife and surrounded the enemy with a foot attack, The enemy's spears and scimitars and bows and arrows did not leave any traces on their black armor, and as the number of enemies increased, when the physical strength of Liu Renliang's heavy cavalry was about to be exhausted, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the north, east and west, and a familiar figure among them The black horse ran in front, and his mask was engraved with the unique Erlang God in the whole army.

"The little ones, the commander and the breezes are here, and they slaughter these Turkic cubs with me, and kill them."

Seeing that the friendly forces that had finally arrived to support them, the heavy horsemen, who were about to run out of strength, clenched their weapons with blood-red eyes and pounced on the Turkic soldiers who began to panic like demons from hell.

"Don't mess around, hold on, and drive these Han dogs out of the city."

The tall and sturdy Turkic general wearing a kind of helmet brandished a huge mace, and the heavy cavalry knight who was about to attack him flew with a stick, and the defense line that began to panic gradually stabilized under the pressure of the main general, but such a brave and tall and wearing such a special main general is the main target of the black army in the eyes of the black army, he is like a lighthouse in the night, who does not hit you.

"Shoot him for me."

Li Yong watched one after another of the heavy horses he had worked hard to cultivate being knocked away by him, his heart was dripping blood, and he decisively ordered to attack this stupid big man with crossbow arrows, and all the light horsemen who ran over to support the heavy cavalry took off the repeating crossbow on their waists, and fired a rapid shot at the Turkic commander, and instantly the rain of arrows in the sky flew like a dark cloud in the direction of the Turkic commander, and Liu Renliang also found that when the friendly army picked up the repeating crossbow, he knew this moment, and he shouted the moment before the crossbow arrow was launched.

"Protect your eyes~"

To say that the weakness of the Xishan armor cannot withstand the heavy blow of a blunt weapon, such as a mace like a Turkic general, and the position of the exposed eyes on the mask, under the cover of the arrow, it is inevitable that it will not be shot. The arrows that came from the rapid shot covered the area indiscriminately, and the Turkic soldiers who were suddenly attacked fell down one by one like rice fields blown by the wind, and the Turkic generals who were still waving their maces bravely were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but the heavy cavalry of the black army that was mixed with the Turks only heard the sound of "ding ......", after three waves of arrows, Li Yong and the light cavalry had surrounded the Turkic army, and the heavy cavalry also began to reorganize the formation to tie the mouth tightly, and the resisting Turkic army was compressed little by little, and the black army narrowed their space little by little, The last remaining soldiers confronted the black army that surrounded them with their weapons.

"You don't talk about martial arts, don't play sneak attacks if you have the ability, let's fight one-on-one."

A Turkic man who looked like a general spoke to the black army that surrounded them in suffocating Chinese.

"Arrow~"

"Ah......h

Li Yongcai is not subject to his agitation method, and he doesn't play sneak attack, Lao Tzu is a sixth child, and what he plays is sneak attack, who will talk to you about martial arts these years? You are stupid, I am not stupid, in order to prevent the Turks from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Li Yong ordered to shoot the remaining Turkic troops with arrows, and one by one sharp arrows harvested the Turkic soldiers who kept rushing towards them, and their eyes showed incomparable despair and anger.

"Clean up the battlefield and pull all these dead people to the cross, ten kilometers outside the North Gate, facing the direction of the Turkic tent."

"By the way, what did the Commander say to the Turk just now?"

"I don't know, the wind is too strong, I didn't hear clearly."

“……”

Li Yong went to the main tent of the enemy general under the protection of the guards, looked at the wine glasses and food scattered on the ground everywhere inside, and saw that the people here were in a hurry, Li Yong sat in the position of the main general unceremoniously, and took a look at the messy leftovers on the table, he lifted the tablecloth underneath, and then comfortably put his legs on it, and the guards also began to clean up the messy main tent, and the logistics support troops of the black army also rushed to Zhanxiang City under the protection of the ghost squadron, and the Turkic camp tents were almost destroyed, The black army also didn't look down on the dirty and smelly things, so they all dismantled a handful and burned them, saying that they were plague prevention, the logistics support of the black army was very good, and the tents were quickly erected, the camp was neat and clean, and one team after another of the soldiers took off the bloodstained armor, clothes, and weapons were all piled together, and then went into a big tent to take a bath, and when they came out, they took clean clothes, armor and weapons to put on, and the Zhanxiang City captured by the black army seemed to have no battle, and everything was in order. If it weren't for the fact that the grassland ten kilometers outside the North Gate was covered with all kinds of simple crosses made of wood, on which were tied the corpses of Turkic soldiers to tell everything that happened at night, more than 30,000 Turkic garrisons in Xiangcheng were completely annihilated in this earthen city, and the battle of the night attack on Xiangcheng was also over, and Li Yong's black army also suffered its first casualties since the formation of the army, and he saw the wounded soldiers being treated by the military doctors in the medical tent.

"Commander, the casualties this time are the most serious among the heavy cavalry of Regiment Commander Liu, except for the ghosts."

"What about the casualties?"

"The ghost killed three people, one person was seriously injured, ten people were slightly injured, twelve people were killed in the heavy cavalry battle, thirty people were seriously injured, and almost all of them were slightly injured to varying degrees, including Regiment Commander Liu."

Li Yong looked at the wounded soldiers one by one under the leadership of the military doctor, and when he went to see the fallen soldiers, he saw Liu Renliang wrapped in white gauze and silently looked at his lost corpse, Li Yong's guards wanted to shout Liu Renliang forward, but Li Yong stopped him, he asked the guards to retreat, walked to the tent where the corpses were parked, came behind Liu Renliang, and then slowly took off his helmet and bowed to the soldiers lying quietly inside.

"They're all gone, I still remember what they looked like when they came out of the West Mountain, and they said they would go back together and drink the Decepticons you brewed, but now they are lying here and can't go back."

The more Liu Renliang spoke, the more his voice trembled, two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes, and Li Yong gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Cry if you want to, no one will laugh at you."

"Ah~~"

Liu Renliang instantly looked like a lion who was only injured, and the people around him heard the sad roar of the regiment commander, and lowered their heads in silence, yes, this time they were able to take Zhanxiang City, those heavy horses and more than 30,000 Turks held out for nearly half an hour, and the black army who had been lucky only really realized in this battle what death was, and what was the pain and sadness of losing their comrades who got along day and night. When they said goodbye to their family in Xishan, they knew that someone would not be able to go back, but they still put on black armor without hesitation, brought weapons to their beliefs, and followed Li Yong on the expedition. In the past, they would crush and destroy the enemy in every battle, not because they were cruel, but to better protect their hometown behind them and the peace and contentment of the people behind them.
