Chapter 56: The Destruction of the City (2)

In fact, Li Shan has entered a misunderstanding, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the traditional cavalry was only equipped with a single stirrup and some lower saddles, and the saddles at that time were only used to allow the cavalry to quickly get on the horse. A single stirrup could not allow the cavalry to borrow power on a horse. Therefore, before the invention of the double horse pedal, cavalry had been training time.

The cavalry of the Le'an team, equipped with double horse pedals, can not only maintain the balance of the body on the horse with the help of horse pedals, but also use the help of double horse pedals to enhance the attack when attacking with all their might. After more than a year of training, Wang Si's strength has been greatly improved, and it is not a problem to lift the weight of five stones with one hand, but it is still a little worse than Li Shan's strength, but because after getting the help of the horse pedal, Li Shan's strength is not as great as Wang Si's strength, so Li Shan will be at a disadvantage in this hard fight.

"Okay." Li Shan shouted and quickly ran towards Wang Si. After believing that he could not take advantage, Li Shan had no choice but to strike first. Moreover, as soon as he made a move, he took a stunt. Meteors draped over the moon.

Li Shan's strength is great, but it is not what he is most proud of, Li Shan's most proud thing is that after he got the strength, he also practiced speed. And "Meteor Covering the Moon" is what he summed up after three years of fighting based on himself. "Meteor Moon" focuses on speed, supplemented by attack. While emphasizing speed, it also pursues power. "Meteor Moon" was born from the sword skills of the Han army, and after Li Shan's improvement, the attack was sharper.

"Drink." Li Shan shouted, and his body jumped towards Wang Si. The broadsword swung in his hand, white light flickering in the darkness. The long knife in Li Shan's hand was getting closer and closer to nothingness, which was a manifestation of the speed reaching the limit.

Looking at the sword shadows flying in the sky, Wang Si couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, these knife shadows were real, not nothing. Li Shan's goal is the horse under Wang Si's seat, and Li Shan just doesn't want Wang Si to use the momentum of the horse pedal to fight against him. As for Li Shan's plan, how could Wang Si not know.

The sword shadow kept changing the direction of the attack, getting closer and closer to Wang Si, Li Shan's murderous aura was constantly released, and the cold murderous aura locked on Wang Si's mount, Wang Si stepped off the horse and jumped uneasily, Wang Si had to spare a trace of energy to control the horse. Time seemed to freeze in time, and every second passed unusually long.

Wang Si kept thinking, Li Shan's sword technique was too fast, and it contained great strength.

"Fight." Wang Si said to himself secretly, and the spear in his hand stabbed out. At the same time, the horse's belly is clamped with both feet, urging the horse to run forward. Wang Si's marksmanship in his hands is very simple, stabbing, sweeping, and piercing three moves. The gunners swung their guns 500 times a day. As Fan Xiwen's retainer, Wang Si has been conducting this kind of training for a year, and his speed of swinging a spear is definitely better than that of Li Shan's swinging knife.

The two weapons collided violently in the air, the shadows of the guns dotted and the shadows of the knives flew. Others are dazzled.

When the two were fighting, Li Wen finally came back to his senses. Li Wen hurriedly commanded the officers and soldiers around him to step forward to intercept and kill the cavalry.

Cavalry was originally only suitable for fighting on the plains. There is enough space on the plains for turning, impacting, and detouring, where one cavalry can play against at least five infantry. However, entering the city, due to space constraints, the mobility of the cavalry could not be reflected. At this point, its combat effectiveness will drop by at least fifty percent, and sometimes even to the point where even one infantry cannot fight against it.

Fan Xiwen naturally knew that the cavalry could not fight in the city, but because this night attack started from the west gate, and the west gate to the east gate was a straight road. This straight provides plenty of room for cavalry to sprint. According to the original plan, the cavalry only needed to use the charge advantage to kill the enemy at the city gate, and then they could open the city gate and put down the hanging rope to meet Fan Fengming's troops outside the city to enter the city. Originally, this plan was very reasonable, but the only drawback was that he didn't know the existence of the Li family's trump card, the Qingniu Guard.

The strength of the Green Ox Guards is indeed very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry company has increased by at least two percent under the premise of charging. But he was still stopped alive by fifty Green Bull Guards. Of course, the Green Ox Guards also paid the price for the death of eleven soldiers. The cavalry company's attack was frustrated, and Li Wen commanded the troops to start intercepting and killing, and the company commander Wang Si was already caught in the battle at this time and could not get out, and the situation was already critical. At this time, the best way to reflect the good quality of a troop, the cavalry company as one of the two major special forces in Le'an, in the selection of the number of people will naturally have strict requirements, the cavalry company soldiers are not only experienced, their psychological quality is not ordinary people can compare.

At the critical moment, Zhang He, deputy commander of the cavalry company, became the temporary commander at this moment, responsible for bringing the cavalry company out of the crisis.

"Everyone obeyed my orders, the first platoon was responsible for blocking, and the second and third platoons immediately retreated fifty steps." Zhang He commanded loudly in the ranks. When the order was given, the second and third platoons of cavalry immediately turned around and left in a very orderly manner. The cavalry company's platoon itself was at the forefront, so it shrank into the middle to form a tight circular formation, blocking the road and becoming a steel wall. After Zhang He's order was issued, the two platoons of the cavalry company completed the order to retreat, and the speed was staggering.

"All of them were converted into bows and arrows, and the second platoon shot the enemies in blue clothes, and the third platoon divided into two squads to shoot the officers and soldiers. The other squad focused on interrupting the enemy general's move and creating an opportunity for the company commander to win. At the same time, blow the horns of the bull and ask for reinforcements from the soldiers outside the door. Zhang He ordered again.

The cavalrymen who were ordered to take out their bows and arrows, and in the Le'an army, unless specially ordered to shoot intensively, the rest of the shooting orders were free fire. Although it does not have a large strike range of concentrated shooting, it is better at hitting targets accurately. It's perfect for this kind of city warfare.

Suddenly, due to the obstruction of a platoon of cavalry companies, the Qingniu Guards could not break through their defensive line, and Li Wen could only do it in a hurry. A flurry of trumpets kept coming from the cavalry phalanx behind. Li Wen was suddenly shocked, this horn sounded urgently, and it was a signal for help. Not only that, but there are also trumpets outside the city that are constantly responding again. It should be that troops began to be sent outside the city, and at that moment, Li Wen immediately ordered the troops on the city wall to prepare for battle. As for the cavalry in the city, although its combat effectiveness was good, because it could not charge, its danger naturally did not need to be worried, so Li Wen only left the Qingniu Guards and a hundred ordinary soldiers below.
