Chapter 588: The Battle of Qiyi Begins
In Jincheng, the city gate was wide open, and a group of men and horses rushed out, and the number was not much, only four or five thousand people.
At the same time, on the east and west sides, there were also Yulin troops rushing over, and the number of people ranged from about four or five thousand.
Combined, less than 20,000 people were killed.
This is also within Zhou Ziru's arrangement, if the city gate is opened like this, Beiyi will not enter the city.
There are also some arrangements in terms of numbers, not only this Jincheng, but also other surrounding cities, all of which have their own soldiers and horses. All of them add up, and this wave of impact also has 70,000 or 80,000 horses.
For the troops who rushed into battle, such an arrangement was also quite reasonable.
The Beiyi army strictly guarded the phalanx, and the Yulin army did not frustrate them much. The melee battle between the two sides began.
"Zhou Xiang, these 20,000 soldiers and horses are useless at all!" The Yulin generals on the city wall did not have the same good temperament as Zhou Ziru, and hurriedly said: "Withdraw the army quickly!" ”
Zhou Ziru crossed his arms, overlooked the battlefield below, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer." ”
On the battlefield, after the initial momentum of the Yulin Army was suppressed by Beiyi, it soon counterattacked back little by little.
The two sides fought, and the disadvantage in numbers and the difference in soldiers made the Yulin army soon fall into a bitter battle.
The Yulin Army on the city wall, many people have never seen the ferocity of the Beiyi soldiers, and when they see this bloody scene, everyone feels a little chill down their spines.
This is the most elite soldier and horse of Daqi, and he can fight well, but in front of the Beiyi soldiers, the two... Even three may not be able to defeat one Beiyi soldier...
Someone saw with their own eyes that a Beiyi was shot several times and even had one of his hands cut off, but he still pounced on him and bit at an unsuspecting Yulin army.
After both sides fell, even though the Beiyi soldiers were dead, a large piece of flesh and blood was bitten off the neck of the Yulin army.
Who is this person? What kind of soldier is this? It's a beast at all!
The seeds of fear were planted deep in the hearts of the Yulin army watching the battle on the city walls.
"Zhou Xiang..."The Yulin Warlord saw the Yulin soldiers on the city wall with a sad face, and knew that the military spirit had begun to waver, and once the military spirit collapsed, it would be difficult to stand up again.
"You go, lead 5,000 cavalry, and save the infantry here. Play nicely. ”
Zhou Ziru also knew the importance of the army's heart, and originally planned to delay it for a while, but he didn't expect that the Beiyi soldiers would be so brave.
The Yulin warrior received the order, strode down the city tower, ordered five thousand cavalry, and was about to leave the city on his horse.
Zhou Ziru looked at Yi Xiaodao, who woke up not long ago: "Can you make a move?" ”
Yi Xiaodao shook his head slightly: "Meng Mulie is in this army, although I don't know where it is, but I can feel it." If I did, he would. ”
Zhou Ziru sighed softly: "Alas..."
But this is also something that can't be helped, now Meng Mulie has not made a move, the two sides are just soldiers fighting, and the outcome is still unpredictable. But if Meng Mulie also made a move, the terrifying coercion, the Yulin army was afraid that it would really be defeated.
As soon as the five thousand horsemen left the city, they swept away like a gale. Like a tiger going down the mountain, the dragon going to sea, the momentum is like a rainbow!
The Yulin general, who led the team, was a good leader of the cavalry at first glance, and he did not directly rush into the Beiyi army. Instead, he went around to the side, deflected and inserted diagonally into the military formation, and the position was also chosen just right, just at the border between the Yulin Infantry Army and the Beiyi Army.
"One charge, one knife per person, repeat!"
The Beiyi general ordered in a loud voice, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.
"One charge, one knife per person!" Fortunately, among the Yulin cavalry, there are no fools who report "repeat" as well.
Five thousand people chanted in unison, enough to attract anyone's attention.
Knowing that they were coming to respond, the Beiyi infantry army hurriedly left the opponent behind, quickly retreated, and made way for the road.
And the Beiyi soldiers who fought with the infantry army lost their opponents, and as soon as they turned their heads in accordance with the sound, they saw a battle knife with a flickering cold light, raised high...
In a round of charge, 5,000 cavalry troops passed between the infantry army and the Beiyi soldiers, losing more than dozens of people, and between the infantry army and the Beiyi soldiers, a huge "ravine" was separated.
"Zhou Xiang has an order, withdraw to the city!" The Yulin Warlord once again gave a loud order, and this order was given to the infantry army.
All the infantry immediately turned around and rushed to the middle of Jincheng.
On the one hand, military orders are like mountains, and on the other hand, they really don't want to meet such an opponent from the bottom of their hearts.
Before the Beiyi soldiers took advantage, they saw the Yulin infantry retreating towards the city in large areas, how could this be released?
It's just that the cavalry can't catch up with the horses, and the infantry also wants to slip away from under their noses?
The Beiyi soldiers did not need the order of the general, they all chased after them, vowing to entangle these infantry soldiers to death outside the city.
The Yulin warrior stood on his horse, and when he saw this situation, his face turned cold: "How can you spare your life!" ”
He turned the horse's head in front of him, drew an arc, and turned back.
The movements of the 5,000 horsemen were uniform, and the 5,000 people all turned around and came back as if they were just one person.
The second round of charge, once again along the forward line of the Beiyi soldiers, swept once.
This time, only a few dozen people were lost, and the casualties were almost negligible.
On the Beiyi side, they fell in pieces and died under the swords of the cavalry.
The second round of the charge ended, almost without stopping, and soon, the third, the fourth...
By the end of the fifth charge, the Yulin cavalry had finally suffered hundreds of casualties, and the rest were already out of breath.
The five rounds of charge, like a brush, swept back and forth against the military formation of the Beiyi soldiers five times, and the dozens of rows of Beiyi soldiers at the front were already suffering heavy casualties.
The Yulin generals were not greedy for merit, and when they saw that the infantry army had withdrawn, they ordered a retreat and retreated to Jincheng with their men and horses.
Qi Wukuo saw clearly in the military formation, dragged the spear in the hand of the Beiyi soldier on the side, weighed it a few times, and threw it at the brave Yulin general.
A perfect arc crossed the air, hitting the back of the Yulin general's heart.
The Feather Forest Warlord was shot with this tremendous force, pounced on his horse, and tried to maintain his figure, and retreated to the city with his soldiers and horses.
"It's a man."
Yi Xiaodao can see clearly in the city, the brave posture of this Yulin general is rare in the territory of Daqi. But that shot has been hit in the back of the heart, and I'm afraid that if he wants to survive, it will be difficult.
Zhou Ziru's face was expressionless, as if this was nothing, and said softly: "There are many such men, Daqi. ”
The Beiyi soldiers followed closely behind, but the city gates closed very slowly.
Zhou Ziru turned around and ordered: "Put in tens of thousands of horses, and close the city gate!" ”
Jincheng is also a big city, as a transit station between the Central Plains and the North, the city gate is particularly wide, and in a moment, the Beiyi soldiers will pour in like the sea.
The Yulin Army in the cave of the hidden soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands and was ready to go.
10,000, 20,000, 30,000... Zhou Ziru silently estimated the soldiers and horses of Beiyi entering the city, and ordered: "Close the door!" ”
On the city wall, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the Beiyi rear army was cut off in an instant.
At the same time, in the cave of the Tibetan soldiers, countless Yulin troops poured out, desperately rushing to the city gate, intercepting the rear team of Yi soldiers in the north of the city and seizing the city gate.
Although the Beiyi rear team found it in time, it was unintentionally calculated by the Yulin army, and the city gate could not be seized at all.
"Bang dang!"
The heavy city gate was closed, and the back road of the Beiyi soldiers was completely sealed.
"It's a good trick to close the door and beat the dog." Yi Xiaodao is not good at battlefield command, and when he saw Zhou Ziru's command operation, he sincerely admired it.
"All killed!"
Zhou Ziru drew his sword, raised his sword, and countless Yulin troops poured out from all directions in the city, besieging the Beiyi soldiers from all directions.
In the field battle outside the city, the home and away games of the two sides are not so obvious, and they can't beat the Beiyi soldiers, and there may be some morale reasons.
And now that the Beiyi soldiers have entered the city, can you still be bullied?
For a time, the courage of the Yulin Army doubled, going forward one after another, not afraid of death, some of the people who had just suffered a loss when they were fighting outside the city, were holding a stomach in their hearts, and they were about to be angry at this time!
On the other hand, the Beiyi soldiers, when they first entered Jincheng, they didn't know anything about the terrain in the city, and the city gate was closed, and the connection outside the city was also cut off.
Under this situation, the Beiyi army was defeated, and its personnel were quickly reduced, and the wails were heard outside the city.
Zhou Ziru knew that Meng Mulie was in the middle of the military formation, and shouted outside the city: "How many thousand strong cities in the Central Plains? You will die without a place to be buried! ”
Qi Wukuo looked at Zhou Ziru who was shouting on the city wall, and clenched his fists.
"Want to kill him? Then go kill it. Meng Mulie stood behind Qi Wukuo and whispered softly.
"Siege!" Qi Wukuo was already angry, but now he got Meng Mulie's approval, and he immediately made a decision and ordered the siege of the city with a sword.
The tens of thousands of Beiyi soldiers in the city died less and less, and the men and horses were also divided into various streets.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, many Beiyi soldiers threw down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
Soon, these tens of thousands of Beiyi soldiers melted quickly like remnants of snow encountering the scorching sun, and gradually disappeared.
Tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated in the first battle, and the Yulin army was excited one by one, and they all actively went to the city wall to resist the siege of the Beiyi soldiers.
Yi Xiaodao glanced around, knowing that such a scene must not only appear in Jincheng. The soldiers and horses of the other cities are also sparing no effort to fight.
"If Meng Mulie makes a move at this time..."Zhou Ziru was most worried about Meng Mulie.
"I'll stop him." Yi Xiaodao replied.
Zhou Ziru frowned, Yi Xiaodao said "I will stop him", not "I will stop him".
This shows that Yi Xiaodao is not very sure.
Zhou Ziru can only secretly pray now that Meng Mulie must not make a move.
The small half day passed quickly. The Beiyi soldiers under the city are still struggling to attack the city, but the morale of the Yulin army in the city is gradually rising.
Meng Mulie couldn't sit still, and as soon as he stood up, he heard a report from the sentry: "Great Khan, a large number of soldiers and horses have appeared in the rear of our army. ”
"Where's the horses?"
"The banners are disorganized, even the appearance of the armor is not the same, I don't know where the soldiers and horses are."
Meng Mulie took a deep breath: "There are too many mice. With that, he turned around and headed north.
Outside the city, Wang Xuan smiled slyly, and Ru Ru beside him looked at Wang Xuan curiously, a little unsure of what to do here.
Behind him, more than 10,000 people and horses, alive and vibrant...
