Chapter 462: Special Tactics
As the saying goes: 10,000 people are boundless.
Now, in Jinling City, there is a battle of nearly 10,000 people, and the scene is simply grand.
Therefore, even the mansion of the old Jin King covers a huge area, and now it is full of people on both sides.
"Prepare me for the enemy."
Lu He, the commander of the city guard battalion, was also taken aback by the five or six thousand people who suddenly rushed out from behind.
You must know that the population of the entire Jinling City is only five or six hundred thousand.
The soldiers of the city guard camp couldn't help but get nervous when they saw the people rushing towards them.
Although they were considered regular troops, they had never faced so many opponents.
However, since they are already surrounded by people, they can only grit their teeth and prepare for battle.
And as those people got closer and closer, Lu He suddenly noticed something unusual about these people.
"These guys don't seem to be soldiers of the army!"
Like him, there are also horse signs that have found anomalies.
Although the five or six thousand people who rushed towards the city guard camp were fierce, most of the crowd was a little frightened.
Only the group of people who rushed to the forefront were hideous and fearless.
"A group of rabble also dares to confront our city guard camp, I really don't know whether to live or die!"
After Lu He confirmed that these reinforcements were not soldiers, a look of disdain immediately appeared on his face.
"Brothers, don't panic, although there are many of these guys in front of you, they are obviously a rabble, as long as we resist the attack of the Jin King's guards and the Houma Iron Cavalry, these guys are not afraid."
Lu He raised his voice to boost the morale of his subordinates.
When the soldiers of the city guard battalion heard this, they also realized that these people were not well-trained soldiers, and their confidence suddenly returned.
"I'm afraid that these five or six thousand people on the king are of no use, right?"
Ma Zheng said with some concern.
In his opinion, these guys are simply useless except for a large number of people.
As long as the city guard battalion kills some of them, they will collapse, and then this will not only affect the morale of their own side, but also make the soldiers of the city guard battalion more confident.
"Old horse, sometimes you can't just look at things on the surface, who told you that if you are not a soldier, you can't fight?"
The old Jin King said with a smile on his face.
Seeing the smile on the face of the old Jin King, Ma Zheng's heart suddenly rejoiced.
Because of the reason for following the old Jin king all the year round, Ma Zheng knew that the old Jin king, but whenever he showed such a smile, it meant that he was in the chest at this time.
"But ······"
Ma Zheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old Jin King directly waving his hand.
"If you look down, you'll see something good about it."
The old Jin King said with a smile.
And Ma Zheng also knew to continue to look down.
Just as these Jin King reinforcements were getting closer and closer to the soldiers of the city guard battalion, the rows of soldiers who rushed to the front suddenly collectively touched their backs with their left hands.
The next second, they pulled a rectangular plank from their backs.
"Shield?"
After seeing the things that appeared in the hands of these people, Lu He's face changed slightly.
Just now, because these guys all carried their shields on their backs, and the width of the shield was basically the same as their backs, the city guard camp didn't even find it.
"You really think that you can use some broken wood to block the sword of our city guard."
Although the tactics of these people were beyond Lu He's expectations.
But Lu He still thinks that these guys are just mud legs who can't get on the stage.
The soldiers of the city guard battalion on their side will definitely use their swords to let these guys know what a mantis arm is as a car.
And the side of this city guard camp close to the old Jin King has already rushed in front of them.
Immediately a hand-to-hand exchange between the two sides began.
Although the weapons of the Jin king's guards were more likely to be armored, and their armor was relatively thick, after all, their number was too small.
Therefore, as soon as he came into contact with the Jin king's personal guards, he was surrounded by the soldiers of the city guard battalion.
And those more well-equipped Houma iron horsemen also began to ride their war horses to attack the soldiers of the city guard camp at this time.
However, due to the limited space around the mansion of the old Jin king, it was difficult for the Houma Iron Cavalry to give full play to the advantages of cavalry's speed and inertia.
Therefore, although the soldiers of the city guard battalion were somewhat injured after being knocked down by the war horse, they were all within the acceptable range of everyone.
Lu He immediately rejoiced in his heart when he found out that the defense line on the side of his city guard camp had successfully blocked the attack of the main force of the old Jin King.
At this time, he had already begun to think about what benefits he should ask Zongzheng Temple for after he successfully won the old Jin queen.
"If I kill the old King of Jin, if I want to take this credit, maybe I can change the title at Zongzheng Temple."
But just when Lu He was fantasizing about what he would be like when he became a lord in the future, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front of the battle formation of the city guard camp.
So he immediately fixed his eyes on it, but the result made him, who was originally full of joy, feel chills all over his body.
Because just now, after he found that those Jin King reinforcements with shields rushed in front of the soldiers of the city guard camp, they suddenly became short, and then with the help of inertia, they held the shield and slid towards the soldiers of the city guard camp.
The soldiers of the city guard battalion, who were already ready for battle, slashed and slashed directly on those wooden shields.
And though these shields were as they expected, their swords slashed into these wooden shields at once.
However, it was precisely because the wood of these shields was so poor that their swords slashed too deep at once, and they were directly stuck in these wooden shields.
And those guys with shields saw that the other party's swords were all stuck in the shields, and they immediately turned their arms, and those swords fell out of the hands of the soldiers of the city guard.
But although the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the city guard battalion in the first row were inexplicably disarmed, the soldiers in the second row were not slow to react.
When they realized that something was wrong, they immediately changed their tactics, and they switched from slashing to stabbing.
In their minds, the texture of these wooden shields was so poor that they must have been able to penetrate them with a single blow.
And those who hide behind the shield will inevitably be killed by their own blows.
But just as they were about to pierce through the shields, the guys continued to rush forward in the direction of the city guard camp with their shields in hand.
And the people behind these guys also charged forward with it.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the front row of both sides collided directly.
In the face of the rapidly ramming shield, the soldiers of the city guard battalion who had lost their weapons at the front of the shield directly crashed back again and again.
And their companions who were about to attack behind them were also directly knocked into and almost lost their balance.
But the matter was not over, just when the soldiers of the city guard battalion finally stabilized their figures, the next wave of impact came again.
And this time the impact was more violent than the wave just now.
At this time, the clever soldiers of the city guard battalion had roughly understood the intentions of these guys.
"The brother in front of you resisted! They're trying to bring us together. ”
Someone stood in the crowd and shouted.
However, although they have discovered the intentions of these guys, the two sides have come into contact.
And the rows of soldiers of the city guard battalion who rushed to the front had been squeezed backwards row by row.
Now the only way they could break the situation was to immediately change formation, spread out from both sides, and attack from the flanks.
It's a pity that although the idea is good, there is no way to implement it.
For they were flanked on either side by a meandering river, and on the other by a high wall.
"Fuck! The people in front of me resisted me! The others immediately turned around and killed the Jin King's guards and Houma Tieqi first! ”
After Lu He discovered the intentions of these guys, he immediately realized that it was impossible to deal with those five or six thousand people first.
So he decisively ordered the soldiers of the city guard battalion to turn around and kill the Jin king's guards and Houma Tieqi first.
In his mind, as long as he dealt with them first, he could make the soldiers of the city guard battalion constantly retreat backwards, so as to widen the distance between him and the five or six thousand men.
At that time, their own soldiers will have room to attack.
And the old Jin King looked at the soldiers of the city guard camp at this time, like a dumpling filling that was constantly being squeezed, and he couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.
"Did the old horse see it? Sometimes you don't have to use a professional soldier to fight. ”
At this time, Ma Zheng was shocked by the scene in front of him and was speechless.
He really didn't expect that the old Jin King would use only five or six thousand ordinary people to suppress more than 3,000 soldiers of the city guard battalion.
And these five or six thousand ordinary people don't have much to lose.
"The old slave of the king is really fond of the five bodies you admire."
Ma Zheng said from the bottom of his heart.
"Humph! I originally thought I was using myself as bait to fish out the hole cards of Zongzheng Temple, but I didn't expect Lu He, an idiot, to bump into it by himself. ”
The old Jin King said with some regret.
"After all, there are 3,000 soldiers in the city guard camp of the king, as long as we can wipe out these 3,000 people, even if Zongzheng Temple really has any hole cards, I think the others arranged by His Majesty can handle it."
In Ma Zheng's thoughts, Emperor Shengheng arranged not only the old Jin king, as long as he wiped out the three thousand men and horses of the city guard camp, even if the plan failed, the old Jin king would be able to make a difference.
"Old Ma, if I just wipe out the soldiers of the three thousand city guard battalions, then I am afraid that my Jin Kingdom will not have a good life in the future."
The old Jin King shook his head and said.
"But the king, you also know that we can't afford to offend the rest of the people in the city, and if we behave too sharply, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing at that time!"
Ma Zheng immediately put forward his own views.
"I also know this, otherwise why would I have sacrificed part of the Jin King's personal guards a few days ago!"
The old Jin King said with a wry smile.
"Hey! I'm afraid that only the old slave can understand the king's painstaking efforts! ”
Ma Zheng said with a little sadness.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, the old Jin King used the lower nine streams to create all kinds of incidents in Jinling City, and then sent the Jin King's personal guards to swagger through the city everywhere, and even mobilized heavy troops to ambush the other vassal kings and guards of Zongzheng Temple with the people of Sizhou County as bait, which were all the old Jin kings confused and incompetent.
But in fact, they didn't know that this was just a deliberate act by the old Jin King.
The reason why he did this was to show his loyalty to Emperor Shengheng on the one hand, and on the other hand, to know that Emperor Shengheng knew that he was nothing more than an incompetent person with no ambitions.
"What are you talking about!"
The old Jin King snorted coldly and continued.
"In this world, only those who know how to forbear can achieve great things."
Looking at the sharp gaze in the eyes of the old Jin King, Ma Zheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
"Kill me!"
As the formation of the city guard camp was constantly squeezed, Lu He became more and more anxious.
He originally thought that the number of people on the side of King Jin's guards was only two or three hundred, and it should be easy to break through.
But the reality was much more than he expected.
Although with the efforts of the people in the city guard camp, they successfully blocked all the more than 100 Houma iron horsemen.
But as the knights on the horses landed, the soldiers of the city guard camp were surprised to find that the horses were connected with iron chains at some point.
Since the horses were all armored and blindfolded, they did not panic and fled in all directions in the face of the attack of a large number of guards and soldiers.
Even if some of the horses were cut by the soldiers of the city guards, they could not escape because they were chained together.
In this way, the old King of Jin only used more than a hundred war horses and two or three hundred Jin King guards' personal guards to block the city guard battalion.
Although Lu He was still shouting angrily, although the soldiers of the city guard camp were still fighting hard, and although the guards of the King of Jin were constantly falling, the formation of the city guard camp was still being compressed.
At this time, the reinforcements of King Jin who were holding shields had been completely crowded together.
They also changed from the original charge to squeezing forward step by step.
"Lu Shuai can't go on like this, the space for our brothers to exert themselves is getting smaller and smaller, and if this continues, I'm afraid our people won't even have room to wield their weapons."
At this time, Zhang Fengmu, the deputy commander of the city guard battalion, stood up and said to Lu He.
Although this Zhang Fengmu is just a gentleman with mixed qualifications in the city guard camp, he has not done anything good on weekdays except for bullying and bullying the people of Jinling City.
But he was not stupid, he had already realized at this time that the city guard camp would be wiped out if it continued like this.
"And what can you do?"
Hearing this, Lu He immediately turned his head and asked.
"Tang Minghu, you come and tell me all the plans you just said!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fengmu pulled Tang Minghu beside him in front of him.
When Tang Minghu found out that the situation was not good just now, he immediately considered how to deal with it.
And soon, as the formation of those Jin King reinforcements on the opposite side became denser and denser, he suddenly thought of a way to counterattack.
"What's your plan, tell me quickly!"
Lu He was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time.
He was now very worried that if his formation was a little more dense, the old Jin King would probably be completely finished as long as he poured some fire oil on his side and then lit a fire.
"Lu Shuai, now we immediately organize a group of good players in the battalion, and then step on the shoulders of the brothers and kill them directly, anyway, the people on the opposite side are also densely crowded, and they can't attack either, so as long as we attack from above, they don't have the ability to fight back at all."
As soon as Tang Minghu said this, Lu He's eyes immediately lit up.
