Under the cover of rows of feathered arrows, a large group of foot soldiers rushed up with a shout.

The lumberjacks, who had no military training, rushed to the city with their passion and instinct.

These walls were not very strong, and time was tight, but they were useful for keeping out bows and spears.

There are only a few crossbow arrows, which can penetrate the ramparts with a close-range shot.

The lumberjacks don't have any helmets and armor to protect themselves, which is equivalent to having no cover.

Immediately as soon as they appeared, they were baptized with bows and arrows, crackling feathered arrows flew in, and from time to time people on the wall screamed and fell.

But soon more lumberjacks were added.

Lying on the city wall and looking at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Han Desan's face was distorted, and his face was hideous.

In his heart, he silently thought about revenge... Avenge...

In this way, I can dispel the fear in my heart.

It wasn't until the faces of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were clearly visible and he saw that the other party was climbing towards the wall that he roared, and Huo Di stood up and stabbed the spear in his hand with all his strength.

"Porphyry..."

There was a muffled sound.

His hands trembled slightly, and the officers and soldiers in front of him widened their eyes in disbelief,

The body fell backwards and downwards.

The spear was withdrawn, and a puddle of blood was brought up and splashed on Han Desan's body.

Maybe it was the smell of blood, but he was even more excited.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

He screamed and stabbed the spear in his hand with ferocity.

"Kill all these dog officers and soldiers!"

There was a tsunami-like response around him.

At this time, rows of officers and soldiers who had climbed up were stabbed down and fell under the wall.

Some of them had bamboo guns stuck in their bodies, which they had not seen at all before.

Some of them were smashed with thick wooden sticks from the split surface, and their brains burst out.

The thunderbolt-like roar of tens of thousands of people on a sunny day made Zhao Shicheng, the commander-in-chief of the Youzhou Army, who was enjoying the cool under the tree, startled.

He stood up and looked at the battlefield not far away, his face darkening.

Under the not-so-tall wall in front of him, groups of soldiers from the garrison camp were already lying down.

And the wall that he thought he could conquer in one fell swoop was still standing still.

"Bastard!"

Zhao Shicheng said angrily:

"Quick, go and inform Zhao Hui, if the next wave of attacks hasn't entered yet, let him come to see me with his head on his own!"

In fact, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on the supervisor Zhao Hui.

He rode on his horse and waved his whip, very hard.

The soldiers also organized a charge.

But these mud-legged people on the other side are put to death and then lived, and those who go forward and succeed are not afraid of death.

But when it comes to combat effectiveness, the guard battalion and garrison battalion of the Youzhou Military City Defense are really not very good.

Let's talk about the guard camp first, usually as the honor guard of Zhao Shijun, the assassin of the history, the clearance before the trip, martial law.

There are also jobs such as guarding the mansion, which is both easy and decent.

A typical old soldier.

But if you want to fight with real knives and guns, there is no way to escape, and the lumberjacks are opponents.

And the city defense camp is even worse.

Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are very common, and the body is hollowed out, and how can you fight with cold weapons, how can you beat a strong lumberjack?

Therefore, the offensive and defensive battles in the logging yard at the west entrance of Yanshan Mountain have become more and more intense and confusing with the passage of time.

What was supposed to be a quick battle turned into a tug-of-war.

The more than 5,000 officers and men of the garrison battalion brought by Zhao Shicheng were killed or wounded by more than 1,000 people, and the battle was far from over, but the morale suffered a great setback.

Of course, the casualties of the loggers on the rebel side were much higher, close to 2,000.

Most of them went out with their probes and were wounded by arrows.

On the lumberjack side, there is no medical insurance at all.

Only a few of the original lumberyard villagers were brought over by them.

But in the face of such a large number of wounded, they are also helpless and helpless.

The wounded could only be smeared with some wound powder, and then bandaged and bandaged again with rags.

The next thing can only be watched as the wounds of the wounded become inflamed and infected, and then life is worse than death.

Some of the family members of the lumberjacks also joined the rescue team.

All they could do was boil water and wash the wound with a veil soaked in boiling water.

At this time, at the mountain pass, which was less than ten miles away from the logging site at the west entrance of Yanshan, Chen Jingnong led his 3,000 cavalry to hide there.

"Big boss, it's time for us to do it!" Lu Wenlong said anxiously:

"The official garrison camp is full of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, with bows, crossbows and arrows in their hands, spears and knives, and the rebel army has flesh and blood, and there are no decent weapons, and after fighting for so long, Han Desan and they may not be able to hold it."

"In case the official army is to break through the fortress city, there are completely helpless old and weak women and children in it!"

Chen Jingnong shook his head and said:

"Captain Lu, you underestimate these lumberjacks too much, a person is in despair, put himself to death, and the combat effectiveness they burst out is unimaginable."

"And at this time, Zhao Shicheng didn't do his best, he still had reserves that didn't move! After all, we only have 3,000 horsemen, and we must go up to a charge at the most critical time to completely disrupt his team before we can drive the sheep! ”

"Now, Zhao Shicheng still has a whole full cavalry team of 2,000 horsemen who have not moved, let's wait patiently."

"But Han Desan, they..."

Lu Wenlong opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Chen Jingnong raised his hand violently and stopped him with a fierce and decisive look.

There is no doubt that he wants to win this raid battle at the lowest cost.

These 3,000 men and horses are the soldiers he brought from the Wolf Claw Ridge in the Western Regions, and they are also the capital of his future start.

"Captain Lu, you were sent by Lord Xiao of the Military Affairs Department to cooperate with the general's action, didn't the military regulations tell you? All actions must be under the command of the superiors! And in the immediate command of the army, you have no say! ”

"I know when we will be able to act, we have to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost, I only have these 3,000 men, I can't afford to lose, do you understand?"

Lu Wenlong finally understood that these 3,000 centaurs were Chen Jingnong's hardcore, and of course he would not easily send them to engage in a scuffle.

In his eyes, it didn't matter if there were more lumberjacks, as long as they could hold on and let his good steel be used on the blade.

The words have come to this, and in the face of Chen Jingnong's hideous face of blowing his beard and glaring, Lu Wenlong spoke humbly, so he had to hang his head and stop speaking.

……

Speaking of lumberyards.

Zhao Shicheng, who rushed to the front line to watch the battle in person, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

His garrison soldiers stormed the fortifications several times, but were driven down several times by the mud-legged men.

Those mud-legged people are simply a bunch of crazy people, except for knives and guns, scratching their hands and teeth, crishing their waists and twisting their legs, doing everything.

They had only one purpose, that is, to drive the soldiers of the Youzhou garrison from the city wall.

With a black face, he stepped on his war horse and rode his horse to the rear camp of the Youzhou Army, where he had not used the reserves.

It was mainly two thousand light horsemen in the Youzhou guard battalion.

The Youzhou City Defense Army is different from the field army, they have no cavalry formation, and the only cavalry is a guard battalion of more than 5,000.

It is said that there are more than 5,000 light cavalry in the guard battalion, which is the lifeblood of Zhao Shijun, the master of the assassin history, and it is also the elite that he has been spending a lot of money to build.

Until the critical moment, no one dares to use it easily.

This time, Zhao Shiyu went to Chengde County, Yanbei to escape the summer, and took away 3,000 horses, and the remaining 2,000 horses were brought over by Zhao Shicheng.

He would not use these two thousand light horsemen unless he had to.

But now it's really your life-and-death field, and you have to use it.

The two thousand cavalrymen received the order, shouted in bursts, struck their horses' bellies, raised their sabers, and rushed into the battlefield at a gallop.

Throughout the ages, some military experts have given a ratio of ten to one for the comparison of the combat power of cavalry and infantry on the battlefield.

That is, the combat power and lethality generated by a cavalry when charging are equivalent to ten foot soldiers.

Two thousand cavalry, after spreading out, the fan-shaped charge is equivalent to the combat power of 20,000 foot soldiers.

If it is on flat ground, it is even far more powerful.

"Rush, kill..."

“……”

Facing the fan-shaped charge of the black crows and crows, the lumberjacks, who had never undergone military training, were dumbfounded.

No one knows how to defend against it, only the wall in front of them.

However, the low wall could not stop the impact of the horses at all.

The sprinting horse's hooves kicked hard, and most of them collapsed in one fell swoop.

The horses leaped again, and the walls all collapsed.

As soon as the horses fell into the ramparts, the fortifications were suddenly breached, and the lumberjacks were suddenly routed by the horses' swords.

This time, Zhao Shicheng and Zhao Hui's uncle and nephew did not flinch, they rode horses and waved their swords, and personally charged into battle.

The two thousand officers and soldiers waved their sabers in their hands, easily cut off the lumberjacks in front of them, and marched all the way forward.

At this time, Han Desan's previous organized resistance had been completely defeated.

There is a way that the defeat is like a mountain.

At this time, no one in this rabble can take care of anyone, and it is important to escape.

The entire battlefield was immediately thrown into chaos.

Unprotected loggers and their families were immediately targeted for massacre.

They were easily slashed and knocked down by the cavalry who rushed towards them.

"All of them get on the horse and divide into four ways to attack in a frontal formation!"

At the critical moment, Chen Jingnong gave an order.

More than 3,000 cavalrymen, who were recuperated, immediately turned over their horses and attacked quickly.

The so-called arrow front formation, that is, the wild goose formation, is a kind of stormtrooping type of cavalry.

The four-way arrow front formation, like four steel knives inserted into the enemy formation, is designed to chisel through the enemy's cavalry formation, so that the enemy will be crushed.

Just as Zhao Shicheng and Zhao Hui and their official cavalry were killing and dripping with joy, behind the officers and soldiers, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded.

Like thunder, the earth shook with it.

With the roar came from far to near, and there was a flying dust that covered the sky and the sun.

Zhao Shicheng's heart chuckled.

He knew it was a sign of thousands of cavalry rushing towards him.

"Where is this where so many light rides come from? Could it be that Lord Assassin Shi rushed back from Chengde and ordered General Tu of Yunhai to send reinforcements. ”

He muttered.

"Impossible, uncle, all the cavalry of the Youzhou City Defense Army are here,

Lord Assassin Shi was far away in Chengde, and no one went to report it. ”

Zhao Hui is sober.
