CHAPTER XXVI
The siege of the city became more and more powerful, and Ono Sachiku's pheasant cavalry roared wildly, and thousands of dwarf horses carried thousands of bells and whistles, but no one found it funny.
You can laugh at the ugliness of the Jingren, you can laugh at their strange way of holding knives and incomprehensible masks and armors, and even the aesthetics and understanding of right and wrong are wonderful, but you can't deny the cruelty, ferocity and tenacity of every Jingjun.
Although Huizhou has not been in war for many years, it does not mean that Huizhou is not fortified, and there are no bloody veterans as grassroots officers.
In fact, over the years, Huizhou, Liangzhou, and Mingzhou, which have not been war-torn prefectures and counties, have undertaken very important support and support tasks, and the wounded soldiers who have been withdrawn from various battlefields and the veterans who have been transferred in rotation have rested in these places.
There is also the replenishment of front-line armored soldiers, which has long been unable to keep up with the battle losses by relying on the strict screening and completion of the eight major military offices, and the main force is still the state guards.
For example, in Kuilong Mansion, which is located in Huizhou, there are only a few thousand soldiers who are qualified to graduate in a year, but there are more than 20,000 soldiers in Huizhou's Weiguang armor.
Moreover, Huizhou has the largest and largest salt field in Zhengguo, as well as a gold mine forest and stone field, and you can understand Huizhou as a very important resource in Zhengguo.
Of course, there are guards in the resource area, in addition to Huizhou, there are also patrol divisions, a battalion of more than 100 boats, as well as several coastal defense reserves, as well as patrol soldiers, how can there be 20,000 armed forces combined, although most of these people do not wear armor, but the combat effectiveness is more or less, and there is always no problem in defending the city.
In recent years, the four borders of Zheng Guo have not been stable, and there have been sporadic riots in many places under the instigation of well-intentioned people, and the reserve palace has also seen the bloody scene on the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as the fifth army, not as good as the fourth battalion, but it is not powerless.
But the Jing people came, and the millions of little men and hundreds of thousands of Hanji allied troops were like bamboos, and they could still say that they were surprised when they broke through Linhai County, but the coalition army stayed in Linhai County for a month, and in addition to making Linhai County desperate, they also redefined the grand strategy of attacking.
At this time, the whole Huizhou was already moving, and the manpower, material and financial resources in the rear were moving forward.
Then the Jingren were still overwhelmed, and the inferiority of the troops was one of the reasons, and the madness, determination, and cruelty of the Jingjun army in battle were also one of the very important reasons.
Let's just say that this pheasant cavalry team has double iron armor, and the height must be more than five feet two inches, this kind of altitude may still be a joke in the Zheng army, but it is already amazing in the Jing army, and then everyone has double iron armor, long knives, short knives, pheasant knives, and hard bows and arrows, small round shields, both offensive and defensive, and it is the elite of the Jing army.
In the few Jingzheng field battles so far, the Pheasant Knife Team can be said to be unstoppable.
Ono Satake looked at this momentum and bowed slightly, the city was broken today, the pheasant knife team was the most elite cavalry, the dismounted was the most elite infantry, and the shooting was the most elite archer.
Even if the Ming Temple saw the pheasant knife team no longer worried, in the eyes of the Jing people, the pheasant knife team was the strongest shield and the sharpest gun.
The pheasant cavalry team hurried to a saddle near the city and dismounted, and it could be seen that they were all experts, and they took out their bows in their hands, and they didn't need to aim at any arrow.
There were only a few scattered Jing troops left in the place picked by the Pheasant Cavalry Team, and the sudden wave of arrows caught Zheng Jun off guard.
Dozens of soldiers were directly shot on the spot, and even the Jing army itself was not left.
A small fatal gap was left in the walls.
The soldiers of the Pheasant Cavalry put the bow in their hands into the bow sac, and began to crawl with the knife in their mouths, and the round shield was too lazy to lift.
When Xiao Rugui saw it, he hurriedly divided the hundreds of people who had just been transferred up into a team to rush over.
Soon, Jing Jun's strange helmet appeared in Xiao Rugui's sight, and then jumped up.
The pheasant knight who had just come up clenched his long knife in both hands, vigilantly around, ready to attack at any time, and his fierce expression was like a wolf cub with bared teeth.
In just a few breaths, a few pheasant cavalry climbed up, guarding the entrance of the ladder in groups of two or three.
When the team Zheng Wu Zuiliu arrived, he was already facing more than a dozen people, and he was still climbing up, and the soldiers nearby rushed up without fear of death, but they could only add a few corpses, and the exchange was even more disproportionate.
"Brothers, follow Lao Tzu! Kill! ”
Wu Zuiliu has been in the army for almost ten years, and Zheng'er crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, a year ago, Wu Zuiliu was still in southern Xinjiang with Su Dingfang, and later transferred to Huizhou due to injury and was promoted to the team leader.
In other words, Zheng Jun's grassroots officers basically came out like this.
Instinct has long been cultivated on the battlefield.
The two pheasant cavalrymen pounced on the left and the right with long knives held high, and the cooperation was very tacit.
The two long knives on the left and right exuded a chill.
Seeing this, the round shield in Wu Zuiliu's hand slammed forward, and the round shield slammed into the Jingjun knight on the right.
Clenched the long knife with both hands, and chased after it with a big stride.
"Yikes!"
When the Jing army knight saw the oncoming shield, he knew that he was inferior, so he retreated sharply and instinctively swung his sword to block, while the Jing army soldier on the left took advantage of the situation and handed his sword straight up to Wu Zuiliu's abdomen.
The cold light of the long knife pierced his eyes, but Wu Zuiliu was not affected at all, and the straight knife was crotched down towards the clouds, and the hind legs rushed forward a little, and then the big foot girl raised and shone on the face of the retreating Jing army soldier was a shoe print.
The soldiers of the Jing army couldn't stand the force, and the small broken steps that couldn't stop fell from the city wall, and the people waiting below immediately rushed up, angrily raised the dung fork, sickle, and hoe in their hands and smashed it down.
The Zheng soldiers led by Wu Zuiliu and quickly overwhelmed the Jing Army's pheasant knights who had just rushed up on the crowded city wall, regaining control of this section of the city wall.
Wu Zuiliu wiped the blood stains on his face, waved his hand, called the city defense battalion, rearranged it, and left half of the people to stabilize the battle line.
Xiao Rugui in the distance was very satisfied, and with the new force of several hundred people, Zheng Jun's defense line finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the distance, Ono Satake began to jump angrily, thinking that the city was about to be broken, and he also sent his trump card for this, but now he was thrown down from the city by the enemy one by one.
Ono was furious, a small Qingcheng County soldier was not more than 10,000, but more than 300,000 troops were trapped here.
This is the shame of the Ono family.
And there are tens of thousands of Han Ji doglegs next to him to watch the joke.
The unwilling little wild ordered people to pick up the big drum of death, and the shame on the battlefield must be washed away with blood.
Ming Sizhong looked directly at the fly swatter in his hand and threw it on the ground fiercely, pulling out the long knife at his waist.
As the first-line governor of the siege of the city, the general Ming Temple Zhongzhi finally couldn't sit still, if there is no progress today, it is estimated that he can be forced to go back, and if he can't make a bad meal, he can be directly disabled, and the anger in this drum is the best warning.
Qingcheng County ushered in the most severe moment.
Xiao Rugui tried his best, but he couldn't make up for the disadvantage caused by the huge gap in troops.
"It's you kid!"
Xiao Rugui, who was about to go into battle again, found that Anwar, who had been sent out earlier, was panting and running back.
"General~" Anwar tried his best to calm down before he continued: "Mark, mark down, mark down and bring the words." ”
"Lord Deng said, said, the city is safe, please rest assured."
"Also, Lord Deng copied the five families of Wang Liu Ji and Zhu Ma, and there are more than 3,700 strong people, and they are being counted, but they sent a batch over first."
Xiao Rugui was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
"Look, general, it's coming." Anwar pointed to the city and said.
"Good! All right! Xiao Rugui patted the city bricks excitedly, "This is really useful." ”
"Six sons!"
Wu Zuiliu, who was killing the enemy, immediately responded when he heard it: "Hey." Here it comes. ”
"A group of people came down from the city, and they were copied from the house, you go down now to distribute weapons to everyone and arrange to go to the city, and if there is no interest, kill them directly. Pick half of them here, and the rest will be scattered and arranged everywhere depending on the situation, so go ahead and arrange them. ”
"Mark the order."
Xiao Rugui turned to look at the still crazy Jing Jun under the city, and then pulled out the straight knife on his waist.
"Brothers, the way of heaven is Zheng, kill!"
All of them are united, Mount Tai can be shaken!
The soldiers of the Zheng army shouted and rushed towards the enemy, life and death rose in blood, numbness and not fear.
Everyone is trying to kill their opponents with the most primitive and tyrannical desires.
Split with a knife, smash with a shield, stab with a gun, and use fists and kicks to bite without weapons, or even bite with teeth.
The hundreds of meters long city wall was full of roaring crowds, and from time to time Jing troops rushed up and were thrown down.
All the facts show that the morale of the Zheng army is far from collapsing and even very high, and the strength may be insufficient, but it is definitely not something that can be taken in a short period of time with bravery.
Ono Satake's face was gloomy, the elite pheasant cavalry team suffered a lot of losses, and the generals next to him didn't dare to breathe.
For a long time, Ono sighed, and today was another failure.
In the woods behind the Jing army, Zhang Xiyang's heart tightened when he heard the city chanting for Zheng Dao.
Shouting such slogans means that even the main general will personally go into battle and fight to the death.
The situation has reached a critical juncture.
But the sun is still unhurried, and it is much cooler now.
"It seems that we can't wait until the Jing army returns to the camp." Zhang Xiyang sighed and muttered to himself.
The soldiers and war horses behind him Zhang Xiyang couldn't determine the best state, so they could only try their best, and most of the newly rescued wounded soldiers had eaten a few rancid or half-rancid rice balls in three days, and they were still lying down to eat after gobbling things up at the moment.
It's not needed for the time being, but you can take care of the rest of the horses, and it's redundant to charge one person or two, and it's very dangerous to change horses in a hurry at this time.
But on second thought, there may be other wonders.
"All the team leaders are coming."
The already depressed officers immediately gathered in hula.
Zhang Xiyang's gaze swept over everyone's faces, there was nervousness, anger and longing, and the only thing he didn't have was fear.
"The situation was critical, so I decided to attack ahead of schedule. I need a hundred men, two repeaters each, a throwing spear, two straight knives, plus a transfer horse, and the rest is freely distributed. ”
"This team has the heaviest task, and nine deaths are life, so I personally lead the team."
"Niu Gao."
"Mark it in."
"I promised you that you would give you a chance for revenge, so I will protect me on the flanks for the main striker."
Niu Gao said excitedly: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as my old cow has a breath, I don't think I will miss a little devil." ”
Zhang Xiyang nodded with a smile and said, "I am convinced of this. ”
"Zhu Gui, Feng Deng."
"Mark it in."
"You two will each take a hundred people, and divide them on both sides, and you must hold steady. The Jing army will not expect our surprise attack, coupled with the chaos of the Jing army's rear army and no formation, it will inevitably panic, and when the Jing army moves, the two of you will each lead a hundred horsemen to attack, mainly to riot the Jing army formation, everything is improvised, but remember that if you can't do it, you are not allowed to fight, and you must not make fearless sacrifices. Do you understand? ”
Zhu Gui Feng Deng said in unison: "I understand the mark." ”
Zhu Gui asked again, "What about the rest of the people?" ”
Zhang Xiyang said: "If you are willing to follow and can ride a horse, bring one horse, and if you can't and don't want to, you can ask for more blessings." ”
"Yes."
"What else would you like to ask now?"
"My lord, where will we meet then?"
Zhang Xiyang turned his head to look at the direction of the Jingren camp outside the woods, except for the trees or trees, and smiled: "If I am still alive, I will come to the Jingjun main camp without getting drunk, if there is an accident, the brothers should walk slowly on the bridge, and so on." ”
Zhu Gui said with a smile: "Then you have to hurry up, the marked horse is the fastest, and the Meng Po soup you drink will become a bowl of mud." ”
The crowd laughed.
Zhang Xiyang suddenly stood up and solemnly gave a military salute, and Zhu Guiniu and others also solemnly returned the salute.
"I am very fortunate to be able to go to the death with you today!"
"Let's pick a hand, gather after a cup of tea!"
