Chapter 556: Liao People
Just as Lejin led his cavalry to rush up the city wall, an ironclad soldier came up from the city.
These were the two hundred ironclad soldiers raised by Ji Gao, and they were all sent to the east gate to support.
Leading this ironclad army was a Goguryeo general Gozhi.
His men were covered in iron armor and iron faces, and as soon as they rushed up to the city, they cut off the legs of the horses of the iron cavalry.
Because of the problem of space and the obstruction of the defense set at the head of the city, the impact speed of the iron cavalry has weakened, which will be counterattacked by the ironclad soldiers of the Han army who are not afraid of death, and they will suddenly be unable to bear it.
Seeing that the left wing was losing and retreating, Le Jin was very ashamed.
jumped off the war horse directly, and rushed over with an iron armor and a ring-headed sword.
Le Jin is not tall, and it is not obvious when he is riding and fighting, and he is directly shorter than the armor soldiers around him when he dismounts and fights at this moment.
But when Le Jin was wrapped in armor and charged, the armor soldiers around him shouted:
"Trapped! Trapped! ”
Then he rushed up with Lejin.
They have been with their subordinates for a long time, and of course they know what kind of power is contained in this short body.
Sure enough, Le Jin was wearing iron armor, but he was completely unaffected, shuttling through the enemy formation like a streamer.
The ring-headed knife in his hand was as gorgeous and smooth as a flower, and each blow was smeared in the fine cracks of the Han army armor.
As Lejin continued to advance, the Iron Cavalry's offensive on the left flank was stabilized and began to form a wall formation.
Gao Zhi saw that the enemy was so fierce, and he became interested, and he also pulled out a ring-headed knife to salute the other side:
"Come to the general name, but you are willing to fight with me in front of the battle, and live up to the name of you and me as warriors."
When Gao Zhi's broken Chinese word reached Le Jin, Le Jin laughed.
He didn't speak, but let the armor soldiers on the side retreat, leaving an empty space.
Although Le Jin didn't say much, he told the other side with actions:
"Come!"
And Gao Zhi has been enraged by the arrogance of the Han people opposite.
He snorted, raised the knife in his hand on his right shoulder, and then jumped out like a gale, and the knife went with him, and it was an angry blow to Le Jin.
This Gao Zhi is indeed a bit of a skill level, and this blow is so fast that ordinary people can't react at all.
But what about Lejin?
When the opposite side hadn't attacked yet, he just saw the opposite shoulder's shoulder move, and Lejin began to run.
When Gao Zhi's blow swung diagonally, Le Jin actually jumped against the knife, and then twisted in the air to avoid it.
When this blow missed, Gao Zhi knew that he was going to suffer.
Sure enough, as Le Jin was about to land, the ring knife in his hand was inserted into Gao Zhi's temple.
The hood made of cowhide couldn't defend against this trick at all, and was directly pierced.
As Gao Zhi fell to the ground, Le Jin casually pulled out his ring head knife, and then shook the slurry on the knife.
The ironclad soldiers of the Han army on the opposite side were shocked by this kind of technical attack, and they all froze.
Le Jin smiled contemptuously, pointed the knife in his hand straight to the opposite side, and then led his subordinates to rush forward.
Two moments later, the iron armor of the Han army, which could not withstand the close combat of the iron cavalry, retreated down the horse road and lost this piece of city wall to the iron cavalry.
Le Jin, whose armor was already broken, saw the Han army that was crushed below, and the guards in the Taishan army behind him kept climbing up to the top of the city, so he raised his sword and shouted:
"Dongcheng will take it for me!"
As a result, on the entire east city wall, countless Taishan army iron armor raised their swords and shouted:
"Lejin, trapped!"
"Lejin, trapped!"
In this way, the momentum of the Taishan army is like a rainbow.
……
Under the canopy, as far as Zhang Chong's eyes could see, thousands of troops competed, the Taishan army was offensive, and the Xuansu army collapsed.
On the north, east, and west sides, the banners of each battalion were all planted on the heads of the city.
Countless fierce generals shouted their martial arts names at this moment, adding another stroke to their fierce military exploits.
Zhang Chong smiled with relief, he liked such a scene.
He was so excited that he wrote down three banners and prepared to give them to the three armies that had just captured the city.
The flags read:
"Haidong Iron Army!" , "Song Desert Victory Brigade", "Tongliao Xuanjia! ”
These three flags spread to three sides of the battlefield with Zhang Chong's excitement. On the way, a team of swimmers held battle flags and shouted:
"The king gives the flag, ten thousand victories!"
"The king gives the flag, ten thousand victories!"
At this time, the overall situation has been decided, and countless officials under the city chanted to their heart's content:
"Wan Sheng!"
"Boom ......, boom ......".
Suddenly, a burst of thunder exploded in the air.
Zhang Chong, who was still smiling just now, looked at the sky in the distance in disbelief.
Suddenly, a drop of water dropped on Zhang Chong's face.
Zhang Chong couldn't help but touch his face, his heart sank, and he looked at Xuansu City in front of him solemnly.
One drop, two drops, three drops...... Countless drops.
In a short time, the battlefield was covered in torrential rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and his vision became more and more blurred, Zhang Chong's hand stopped in the air, and he made repeated decisions in his heart.
At this time, Tian Feng on the side finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, let's withdraw our troops! The heavy rain poured down, and the soldiers fought in this environment, even if they captured Xuansu, they would fall ill a lot after the war. It's better to withdraw the army first, anyway, this Xuansu is also in the bag. ”
What Tian Feng said is reasonable, so do you want to slow down?
Just when Zhang Chong was thinking like this, a knight suddenly rushed down from the front line.
He was steaming all over, and under the guidance of the rampage, he went straight to Zhang Chong's canopy.
A hundred paces from the canopy, the knight dismounted and galloped, and the first sentence was:
"Your Majesty, the captains of the two military schools on the West Road jointly ask for orders, please rain to attack the city, and I am willing to make a military order, and I will fall into Xuansu in two moments."
As soon as the knight finished speaking, another knight rushed to the military road, his armor was wet, but he still asked Zhang Chong for his life with enthusiasm:
"Your Majesty, the two armies of our East Road have entered the city, and they must not be withdrawn again, and once they are withdrawn, the brothers in the city will die or live."
And in the end, the nearest North Road Xinqi also came, and he brought the opinion of Yu Ban, the commander of the Central Protector Army:
"Your Majesty, the military situation is like fire, and there is no advance or retreat. Today, don't say that it is a torrential rain, it is a knife, and the three armies must also take down Xuansu for the king. ”
At this time, Zhang Chong was heavy, and he understood that this was the sincerity of the three armies.
And Tian Feng on the side wanted to say more, Zhang Chong waved his hand to stop it, and he said to the wrestlers on the side:
"Drum hammer!"
Nalux hurriedly handed the drum hammer in his hand to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong shook the drum hammer, looked around at the civil and military forces around him, and laughed heroically:
"Before the battle, the brothers were half dead, and I, the king, could not do much, so I beat the drums and cheered for the brothers."
Then he commanded the three knights:
"You go back and tell Yu Ban and Xu Huang to fight hard, and fight with confidence. If the heavens don't let our army break the mystery today, then I will tell everyone that as long as everyone is united, people will win the sky! ”
So, to the beat of the drums of war, the three knights rushed straight into the armies.
After that, the last preparations on the west, north, and east sides were launched together, and the torrential rain poured into Xuansu City like a torrent.
……
The time is at its worst.
When the Taishan army attacked Xuansu on three sides, the vanguard of the Liaodong Army had already arrived in Xiaoliaoshui.
Xiaoliaoshui is also called Hunhe River, which originates from the eastern foot of Changbai Mountain, flows into Liaodong in the southwest, passes through Gaima in the west, Xuansu County City, flows into the Bohai Sea through Liaoyang South.
It can be said that Xiaoliaoshui is the northern barrier of Liaodong.
In fact, it is true that when the Taishan army attacked the Xuansu county city on the north bank of Xiaoliaoshui, its sentinels almost stopped north of Xiaoliaoshui.
So when the advance of the Liaodong Army arrived on the south bank of Xiaoliaoshui, the Taishan Army knew nothing.
The vanguard of the Liaodong Army was a mixed army of Hu and Han, which was also a characteristic of the Liaodong region.
Although this place is an agricultural area, the Han people living here are generally infected with Hu customs, and their temperament is fierce and good at riding and shooting.
It is precisely this characteristic that makes the combat strength of the Liaodong Army not to be underestimated.
Leading this Hu and Han army is Liu Yi, a heavy general of Gongsun Du, with a number of 2,000 people and an armor rate of 60%, which is a typical Han army configuration.
But there is a special branch of this unit, and that is the solemn and cautious step.
This is a long-standing tradition of the Liaodong Army.
Because of the barrenness and hardship in Changbai Mountain, a large number of Sushen people in the territory needed to pay blood taxes to the Han family to obtain food.
It is also because there are always a large number of prudent people who go out of the mountains to join the army, Liaodong County specially trains these people into a battalion, called the solemn and cautious step.
The recruitment conditions of this battalion are very strict, and all the soldiers are strong warriors from the selected villages, all of whom have big shoulders and round waists.
After these people were selected into the camp, every ten people were in a row, and one flag leader was set up, and then they were all dressed in iron armor and stiff belts. The front row is killed, and the back row is made up until they are all killed.
In addition, these people are often equipped with heavy bows and arrows, which can shoot through the eyes of the enemy within ten paces.
It can be said that each of the Prudent Steps is a real elite samurai, a killing machine.
And such a heavy step, Liu Yi has 500 people under his command, which is the real core armament in his hands.
When Liu Yi arrived at the edge of the Hunhe River with two thousand former troops, he could still hear the fierce fighting on the other side.
This gave Liu Yi a huge illusion, that is, the current Xuansu is still holding on, and he can cross the river now to join forces with the Xuansu army in the city.
Liu Yi, as the surname of Gongsun's family, can be so trusted by Gongsun Du, not for nothing.
He caresses his soldiers, regardless of Hu and Han, and often shouts in the army: "Mother Liu!" ”
It is also Liu Yi who can have the style of famous generals in ancient times, so his subordinates are often happy to die, coupled with these bitter cold and war-resistant solemn and cautious Yiding, so that Liu Yi's battalion is often the first in Liaodong.
From this point, it can also be seen that Gongsun Du really wants to resist Thailand, and he sent his strong team up.
Heavy rain.
As the boat brought by Liu Yi entered the water, the first branch of the song quickly stood firm on the opposite bank.
After that, Liu Yi personally walked on the boat with solemnity and caution.
Ten hemp ropes crossed the muddy waters, and the master beside him kept pulling the hemp ropes, and the boat under his feet moved forward little by little.
Liu Yi, who was wearing a hat and sitting on the boat, listened to the sound of rain and water, stared at the north shore, and looked serious.
Suddenly he sighed, and on his side a little general, it was his son Liu Qing, puzzled and asked:
"Father, how do you sigh like this?"
Liu Yi shook his head and said softly:
"It's a sigh to be a father, I don't know how many Liaodong children will be able to return to their hometown with their father after this war."
But when his son heard this, he did not care, and said,
"Life is like morning dew, fleeting. I don't know how many people have never seen the great sun, if our army is all killed on the other side today, it is just like the meteor, after all. ”
"So father, we Liao people are not afraid of death, but afraid of no one has ever cared."
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and nodded.
