Chapter 432: Breaking the enemy in front of the palace and plotting to appear
The sound of fighting in front of the main hall of Jialan Temple lasted for half an hour.
During this period, Wang Zhong dispatched cavalry to charge back and forth six times, and most of the soldiers in front of Guan Xiao were killed and wounded.
But even so, he still didn't see Guan Xiao's back, and suspicion arose spontaneously in his heart.
What the hell are you thinking...
Wang Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at his former friend carefully.
Guan Xiao didn't look at him at all at this moment, just like before, he was trying his best to scream the armor in front of him to change formation.
He suddenly recalled Zhou Biao's roaring words that night, thinking too much? Too suspicious?
Guan Xiao, you are sure that I am suspicious of the ambush, so you don't dare to make a rash move, so that the rest of the people can take the opportunity to break through!
At this moment, although there are still 2,000 elite horsemen at the foot of the mountain, this time they have brought all their cronies to this place...
If Zhou Biao, Zheng Kuan and others led people to attack, I am afraid they would not be able to stop them.
Even if there is a black night rider under the command of Chu Xu to stop behind, as long as the defenders of the Eastern Capital can't stop these Hebei rebels, he and his cronies will inevitably die!
What's more, today he is still disrupting military discipline...
Wang Zhong immediately made a decision, and he raised his long knife and roared with all his might.
"The Chinese army is ahead! Fold your wings and follow me straight into the military formation! ”
Under the shouts of the Eastern Capital Guard, the remaining hundreds of elite horsemen formed a triangular formation, like a sharp sword stabbing straight at the Hebei armor who was waiting in formation.
The courtyard of the front hall of Jialan Temple is not large, and it is even more crowded when hundreds of people gather among them.
The iron hooves of the Eastern Capital guards only took a few breaths before they stepped in front of a group of armor soldiers.
The cavalry's charging and killing force was unstoppable, and just by looking at their faces, they trampled the frontmost armor soldiers to death.
They were followed by the elite cavalry generals led by Wang Chong, all of whom were holding spears in their hands, and when they met the rebels, they stabbed them out together!
Kill!!!
Whether it was the Dongdu cavalry on Wang Chong's side or the Hebei armor on Guan Xiao's side, everyone was already shouting.
It seems that the battle in front of the palace will come to an end after this rush...
Wang Chong took one last look at his former friend, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
What is the world's young lin, but a coward who abandons the handsome car and protects the car!
There is a kind of rushing out by yourself, even if you end up infamy, you shouldn't abandon it!
What a wreck, what a waste!
Coincidentally, Guan Xiao also looked at Wang Chong, and his face no longer saw the previous fierceness, but an extremely mocking smile.
Guan Xiao shouted: "The surname is Wang!" Didn't I remind you! ”
Wang Chong ignored him, forcibly stabilized his mind, waved the long knife in his hand and continued to command his subordinates to break the formation.
"There's no need to worry about anything else after the formation is broken! Go straight to the place where the main general is, and never suffer from the future! ”
The military formation, which was almost broken by the cavalry, quickly converged backwards, but in an instant, it was already half smaller than the battle formation.
At this moment, although the battle array is small, the effect of resisting the enemy is greatly defeated before!
For a time, the Eastern Capital cavalry could only surround it, but could not completely break through the military formation.
Just as Wang Zhong was about to carry out the second round of killing, Guan Xiao suddenly shouted.
"Governor Zheng Xiaodu will not come again! The last general is really going to die! ”
Guan Xiao's words were not broken, and a loud shout soon sounded behind Wang Chong.
"The governor of Liaocheng, Hebei is here! Who dares to hurt my generals! All the soldiers will behead the enemy with me! Save the robe! ”
Suddenly, a young man with a longbow and a fast horse jumped from the main gate of Jialan Temple into the main hall compound.
The person who came was Zheng Kuan, who was lurking outside with his troops.
In his hand, the bow was drawn like a full moon, and where the arrow was pointed, was the head of the Eastern Capital Guard!
"The king is a heavy horseman, and he will take your life today!"
When Wang Chong heard this, he saw that the feather arrow had already come from the string, and he immediately waved the long knife in his hand to resist.
But no matter how fast he struck, he could only smash the feathered arrow a little off, and the arrow still slashed across his face.
In an instant, a deep bone-staining blood mark appeared on Wang Chong's right face.
He already has a broken arm, how can he have time to care about the injury on his face... Wang Zhong immediately turned his horse's head and looked back.
Behind Zheng Kuan, hundreds of armor soldiers gradually emerged, and after stepping through the main entrance of the temple, they marched into the front yard of the main hall one after another to stand still.
At this time, the front yard of the main hall seems more crowded...
Zheng Kuan didn't leave?
Originally, the cavalry was rushing up the mountain to kill, but now it was trapped in the middle, and the power of the cavalry was reduced again and again.
Wang Chong didn't look back, just stared at the armor soldiers behind him and shouted.
"Is that what you really intended?"
Guan Xiao didn't respond to him out of voice, but it was the young man named Zheng Kuan who pulled up the bowstring in his hand again.
"You old horseman, you can guess!"
With that, the arrow in the young man's hand shot out again.
This time, the entourage around Wang Chong also had the opportunity to react, and they didn't need to do it themselves, and someone immediately stopped the feather arrow.
The smile on Zheng Kuan's face did not decrease but increased, and he spoke again.
"Guan Xiao! It's so much fun to show you! ”
As soon as these words came out, even Guan Xiao, who was strategizing in the middle of the military formation, couldn't help but look at him.
The armor soldiers at the main gate of Jialan Temple began to move to both sides, and behemoths appeared in front of everyone from the main entrance.
The people present were all from the army, and even if the workmanship of these objects was too crude, they recognized what was in front of them.
Fire Bull Ballista?!
There are more than a dozen!
A trace of puzzlement appeared on Guan Xiao's face, because even if they were all scaresome fake tricks, coupled with the rush to make it, he Zheng Kuan couldn't get it out in a short time.
Zheng Kuan spoke out and said: "Today there is a crossbow without arrows, brothers give me spears!" The size is just right! ”
After the governor of Zheng Xiaodu finished speaking, the armorers behind him all loaded the spears in their hands on the fire ox, and then began to adjust the brackets on the ballista, and finally pointed the spears at the cavalry.
This series of processes has been completed in just a few breaths.
Wang Zhongzhong was shocked, he didn't dare to bet on the authenticity of the fire bull on the other side, and gave instructions in an instant.
"The Chinese army continues to besiege the military formation, and the right flank will rush forward with me and destroy those ballistas as soon as possible!"
Zheng Kuan gave an order: "Give it to me, let it go!" ”
As he finished speaking, an arrow flew out.
The same was true of the fire bull ballista beside him, and more than a dozen spears followed him like sharp arrows.
The spear shot forward, and the power of the broken army was overwhelming, and a company penetrated the defenders of the eastern capital of four or five cavalry.
The cavalry that followed Wang Chong and prepared to destroy the fire ox were all swept off and fell to the ground with men and horses.
Obviously, these Fire Bull Ballistas are real guys!
Wang Zhongzhong's heart sank, he never expected that his eight hundred elite horsemen would be wiped out by Guan Xiao with less than half of his strength today.
I thought I could kill him here, and then I took my cronies back to the camp to ask for guilt, but now I'm afraid I can only burn it with jade...
Wang Zhong was determined to die, and he said loudly: "For the brothers who are rushing into the battle to stabilize the rear, we must not let the rebels break through the mountain today!" ”
The soldiers who followed him and rushed forward without hesitation all clenched the reins in their hands and shouted loudly.
"Kill, !!"
On one side is the Eastern Capital cavalry fighting for their lives, and on the other side is the Hebei armor who is struggling to load their spears and urge the fire oxen.
The soldiers on both sides are all fighting to the death, and none of them will take a step back at this moment.
In the midst of the cavalry led by Wang Chong, soldiers constantly fell to the ground because of the flying spears.
These fire bull ballistas on Zheng Kuan's side, because of their simple structure, couldn't help but be reloaded several times.
After half of the fire bull machines were destroyed, Zheng Kuan threw the bowstring in his hand and pulled out the saber at his waist.
"Soldiers, follow me to defend against the enemy!"
After hearing the news, the armor soldiers beside him felt the fire fold from their respective armors.
When the fire was together, it was all thrown on the fire bull.
The next moment, black smoke spread from inside the ballista, followed by flames from the inside out, enveloping all the ballistas.
Under the erosion of the flames, the ballistas seemed to be ignited bulls, and gradually began to become manic...
That's what the name of the fire bull is all about!
When they obtained the fire ox from Yijian Villa, the charcoal used to light the fire was already prepared in the ballista, and they could reveal all the power of the fire ox with just one hand.
Zheng Kuan looked at Wang Chong, who was getting closer and closer, he pulled the reins in his hand hard, and the whole person rushed forward.
The dozen or so fire bulls were also pushed by the armor and crashed straight into the attacking cavalry.
At the same time, the armor battle formation, which had never taken the initiative to attack throughout the defense, changed the previous formation.
Guan Xiao roared: "It's time to fight back!" Kill!! ”
Including him, all the armor soldiers in the trapped formation gave up their defense almost at the same time, and faced the besieging cavalry.
Hearing these shouts, Wang Chong's heart had fallen into a dead silence.
Because he didn't understand the situation set up by Guan Xiao until now, he didn't want to escape at all, and he didn't plan to fight to the death with himself.
Even if he is in a desperate situation, Guan Xiao is still looking for an opportunity to break the enemy!
The weekly mark, which has not yet appeared at this moment, is easy to guess where it is...
On both sides of the main hall compound of Jialan Temple, in the houses that had been closed from beginning to end, there began to be figures flickering.
In the moment when Wang Zhongxin was at ease, all the doors of the house were shattered.
Hundreds of Hebei soldiers emerged from the house again, and in a large firewood house diagonally behind him, a man shaped like a mountain of meat came out.
Zhou Biao dragged the giant axe in his hand while shaking the fat on his body.
He shouted at the king, "I didn't have time to kill you last time... Today is your day of death! ”
It's all over...
The cavalry of the Eastern Capital, which originally besieged Guan Xiao's battle array, was counterattacked by it, and the siege situation was broken.
Zheng Kuan, who was ready to meet the enemy Wang Chong, temporarily suppressed the cavalry in front of him with the last prestige of the fire ox.
And in the end, the armor that emerged from both sides, under the leadership of Zhou Biao, became the last straw that pressed Wang Chong and others.
Wang Chong and Zheng Kuan exchanged tricks several times, and he watched the entourage beside him fall one after another, and his heartstrings had already broken.
He looked at the cavalry behind him, and there was not much left on horseback...
Wang Chong's wrist twisted, and he blindly handed a knife forward, but nothing was cut.
Zheng Kuan handed out a knife, first cutting off his only remaining left arm, and then erasing it forward with a knife, passing over his neck.
Wang Zhong fell to the ground, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the entrance of Jialan Temple.
He seemed to see dozens of unarmored people appear there...
