Chapter 185: Capture the City and Defeat the Enemy
Under the command of Ju Yi, the first column of dead soldiers lined up in three columns, the first column of dead soldiers attacked forward and slashed the enemy at the same time, the second column of dead soldiers crossed through the gap of the first column of dead soldiers, and then attacked forward, the first and second columns of dead soldiers successfully killed the enemy soldiers, immediately crouched, the third column of dead soldiers jumped over the heads of the first two columns of dead soldiers, held the knife above their heads with both hands, and swung down when their feet were about to land, once again cutting down the enemy soldiers who were blocking in front of them to the ground. In this way, the first dead soldier continued to inflict damage on the enemy army, and the enemy army was cut down in rows like harvested rice. In just a few moments, the defenders of the city were cut down by more than 800 people.
Seeing that the infantry had let Ju Yi kill nearly a thousand people, he transferred shield soldiers to resist them, and on the other hand, he sent two cavalry to attack from both sides of the dead soldiers.
Ju Yi understood that if the cavalry charged from the flanks, it would be a catastrophe. Immediately ordered the dead men on the flanks to put their swords into their sheaths, pick up the shields discarded by the enemy, and half-crouch down behind the shields to hide their bodies.
When the sound of the horse's hooves approached, Ju Yi shouted: "Lift! ”
The dead soldiers on both sides stood up from behind their shields, their crossbows already on their arms, and their arrows were ready to be attacked.
Han Suijun's cavalry originally thought that the dead soldiers were trying to block them with their shields under their shields, but no one expected that the dead soldiers would use their crossbows unexpectedly.
Taking advantage of the moment when the cavalry lost their minds, Ju Yi shouted again: "Shoot!" ”
The dead men pulled the hanging knives of the crossbow machine, and the tight bowstrings flicked the crossbow arrows, which immediately shot the cavalrymen who were charging on the opposite side and turned their horses on their backs. The crossbows used by the dead were repeating crossbows, which fired three times at a time, and the cavalry fell to the ground one after another. When the first row of dead men had finished shooting three arrows, they handed the arrowless crossbow to the robe behind him; Pao Ze took it with one hand, and handed his repeater to the first row of dead soldiers with the other. The first row of dead men took the repeater and fired it again, and again fired the two pieces, that is, a thousand cavalry. The robe behind him quickly loaded the crossbow arrows for the first row of dead soldiers, and so on.
The streets were already a little narrow, which was not conducive to the evacuation of the cavalry, but made the cavalry of Han Sui's army, who launched a flank attack on the first dead soldiers, slightly crowded. This also makes the accuracy of the first deceased soldier better, one shot at a time. Soon the streets were paved with the corpses of men and horses.
Ju Yi encouraged the first dead soldiers in front to continue the onslaught forward, and at the same time directed the dead soldiers on both flanks to shoot the enemy knights. After firing for a while, the enemy cavalry had already let the arrows shoot to a halt in the speed of the charge, and Ju Yi saw the opportunity and shouted: "Charge! ”
With just one word, the dead men on both wings understood the meaning, immediately threw their shields and crossbows, and rushed at the enemy cavalry with their swords. The front line of Han Sui's cavalry had already let the rain of arrows shoot in all directions, and the ground full of corpses also made it difficult for them to turn around, and the formation was chaotic.
The first dead soldiers roared angrily, raised their swords and attacked, and immediately struck between the cavalry, not only making the cavalry formation more chaotic, but also cutting off the legs of the horses when they saw them. As soon as the horse fell, the cavalry was also thrown to the ground, one leg still pressed by the horse. The first dead man walked over quickly, and with one stabbing downward, the enemy cavalry did not move. The cavalry was also defeated.
At the same time, on the frontal battlefield, Ju Yi also drove the dead soldiers to continue to kill the enemy troops in front of them. Although this enemy force is more resilient, the bravery of the first to die is incomparable to them. When the cavalry was defeated, most of the infantry in the defending army was also wiped out, and the captain looked at the corpses all over the ground at the feet of the first deceased, looked at the first deceased soldier who kept stepping on the corpse and raising his sword and slashed, looked at the deserter who threw away his armor behind him, and then looked at the less than a hundred soldiers around him, and finally couldn't stand it, and threw his spear and grabbed a fast horse and wanted to escape.
Before escaping, the lieutenant suddenly remembered that there was a beacon fire on the corner tower of the western wall of the city, so he ordered a dozen cavalry to gallop to light the beacon fire. Just as he had given the order to light a beacon fire and was about to gallop away, Ju Yi recognized at a glance the armor that only a lieutenant had in the light of the shaking torches, and snatched a spear from one of the enemy's spearmen, and threw it with all his might, stabbing the lieutenant in the back. The lieutenant was stunned at first, and then fell from his horse.
Seeing that the captain was dead, Ju Yi shouted: "Captain Er is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
As soon as he heard this, a "ping-pong" sound sounded in the dim city, and all the defenders threw down their weapons.
Ju Yi gathered back into the song and tied the soldiers into a string with ropes one by one.
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, Ju Yi was shocked that the enemy army had reinforcements, and when he looked back, it was Yan Xing who led the cavalry to rush in from the city gate, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Having taken the city on his own and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, Ju Yizhi stepped forward proudly and said with a smile: "Why is General Yan so late? It's a pity that you can't get military merit! ”
As soon as Yan Xing entered the city, he looked at the corpses of Han Suijun everywhere, and he couldn't see any of his own corpses for a long time, and his heart was shocked.
Yan Xing was a little skeptical: "Captain Ju took the city alone and defeated the enemy?" ”
Ju Yi looked at the first dead soldier behind him who was as proud as him, his face was full of spring breeze, and he didn't speak, meaning, "Do you need to say this?" ”
Yan Xing was even more surprised, and said, "How many enemies did Captain Ju kill?" ”
Ju Yi said proudly: "Not much, not much, only two or three thousand, including a thousand horsemen and more than two thousand foot soldiers, and more than seven hundred soldiers." ”
Yan Xing gasped and said, "Nearly four thousand steps to ride, it's not much?" ”
Yan Xing looked at the Xiandeng dead soldier standing in the pile of corpses, and found something, and said in surprise: "How many members of Captain Ju's army are there?" ”
Ju Yi raised his head proudly and said, "Three hundred." ”
"Three hundred?!"
Ju Yi smiled: "Yes! The task of the last general sent by the young master is to infiltrate the city of Mide. Naturally, you can't bring too many soldiers with you, and if General Yan doesn't believe it, you can count them. ”
Yan Xing hurriedly shook his head and said, "I believe, I believe!" But I don't know how many people have been folded? ”
Ju Yi smiled even brighter and said, "So far, no one has been found to be damaged. Maybe only a dozen brothers were injured. ”
Yan Xing was speechless in astonishment. Now Yan Xing is even more glad for his choice to surrender, if he hadn't surrendered, Ju Yi would have infiltrated Lijing City, where he was stationed at that time. If he was taken by a mere 300 soldiers, and his troops were severely damaged, it would be a great shame! The more Yan Xing thought about it, the more fortunate he felt. But after thinking about it, if you lose, you will lose under such a strong subordinate, but it is not too unjust.
Yan Xing said with admiration: "Captain Ju is really a military training wizard, and he can take a county town with only three hundred people, I really admire it to the extreme. ”
Ju Yi waved his hand and said, "Everywhere, this group of Han Sui troops is too weak!" ”
Yan Xing said: "Han Sui took the city of Shude as the county seat of Zhangye, and arranged a thousand strong soldiers and three thousand new soldiers in this city. Even if it is 3,000 new pawns, it is a rare force among new pawns, well-trained, but not weak. ”
