Chapter 114: Zhao Zhen's reinforcements arrive
"Boom!"
After many blows, the gates finally collapsed.
Wanyan Zongfu saw that the city gate was finally breached, and he was overjoyed, "Pass the order to the three armies, and the slaughter of the city begins!" Within three days, you will be free to rob the women of gold and silver as you please. ”
After receiving permission, the army of more than 200,000 people rushed towards the city gate like ants in groups.
Seeing this, Wang Zaixing opened his mouth and asked, "How many fire soldiers are there?" ”
"There are less than five hundred people."
"Order the firecrackers to rush to the city gate immediately to prevent the enemy from entering the city."
"General...... There is not much gunpowder left, and I am afraid I will not be able to resist it. ”
Wang Zaixing roared angrily, "Fight to the last person, and block it!" ”
……
The remnant sun is like blood, and the city of Lanzhou seems to be inevitably devoured by the darkness and the army of Wanyan Zongfu.
Seeing that his army had already entered the city gate, Wanyan Zongfu was even more carried away, "After capturing Lanzhou this time, I will lead the army north to snipe at that Zhao Yingluo." I don't believe that the other side can defeat my army of 300,000 with only 100,000 horses. ”
Liu Lin and Wanyan Zongyi were all silent, it is indeed difficult to win 100,000 or 300,000 according to common sense, but Zhao Yingluo is not a person who can be estimated according to common sense.
If it were her, even if 10,000 was better than 300,000, it would not be unusual, for no other reason than because she could always create miracles.
There were more and more enemies on the city wall, and Wang Zaixing watched his soldiers being slaughtered, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
However, at this moment, a strange movement in the distance attracted his attention, and he raised his eyes to look southwest, only to see dust and smoke billowing from the field! The dust that kicked up eclipsed the remnant sun.
Could it be...... Reinforcements coming?
He wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes in disbelief, and then saw a cluster of fireworks rise from the cloud of smoke and explode in the air.
This is the signal of the arrival of reinforcements!
"Quick! Fireworks are set off! Aid...... Reinforcements are coming. ”
The despair in Wang Zaixing's eyes turned to ecstasy, and then a cluster of fireworks also exploded from the sky of Lanzhou City, responding to the signal from afar.
Wanyan Zongfu also saw these two clusters of fireworks, and had some doubts in his heart, "This is ......"
Wanyan Zongyi's face sank, "Isn't it that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived?" ”
Liu Lin shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" However, we have made arrangements on the periphery, but we are afraid that the enemy reinforcements will come. There are more than 10,000 troops blocking reinforcements, so how can the enemy pass quietly? ”
Wanyan Zongfu also saw the smoke and dust in the distance, "Could it be...... They are fighting with the enemy, outnumbered and are retreating to this side? ”
Liu Lin said with experience, "Then Zhao Yingluo has just finished fighting in Xingzhou, and even if it takes four or five days to reinforce Lanzhou, how can he come as soon as he comes?" ”
After Yan Zongyi looked into the distance, he immediately ordered the three armies to be on alert, and those who had already attacked the city gate could continue to attack the city. All the centaurs who did not participate in the siege took a defensive posture and were on guard in advance.
The speed of the advance of that cloud of smoke and dust was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than ten miles away from the city of Lanzhou, and the entire army was faintly visible.
Wanyan Zongyi felt his heart pounding, "Looking at the clothes, it doesn't look like it's from my Dajin Kingdom, isn't it...... All 10,000 people have already died? ”
Wanyan Zongfu's expression suddenly became serious, "Heavy infantry on alert!" Unfold in a defensive formation! ”
At this time, the speed of his army's attack on the city gate also slowed down, because the arrival of reinforcements seemed to give the defenders a shot in the arm, and their morale exploded again.
After just a cup of tea, Wanyan Zongfu completely saw the army on the opposite side, and sure enough! It was the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty who arrived, and when he saw the big word "Zhao" on the big Xu, he vaguely guessed the main general of the reinforcements.
"King Zhao Zhen! They should have completely exterminated their five-horse cottage in the first place, so as not to incur today's difficulties. ”
What shocked him the most was that the army led by Zhao Zhen did not slow down, and the 30,000 cavalry in the front rushed directly into battle! The horses neighed and trampled the ground beneath their feet, making a terrifying sound.
"Kill! Let the golden dogs see the real combat power of my Great Song man! ”
The elite of more than 1,000 heavy cavalry led by Zhao Zhen, like an arrow, rushed towards Wanyan Zongfu's army, and the remaining 30,000 horses followed.
The more than 10,000 heavy infantry that Wanyan Zongfu used to defend against the cavalry had extremely complicated eyes.
In the past, it was its own cavalry that rushed into battle, and the heavy infantry followed up, and it was easy to achieve a hearty victory.
Today is a good day, the heavy infantry has become a cavalry that fights the opponent with flesh and blood! What's even more frightening is that there are firecrackers in the opponent's cavalry! With the armor on your body alone, you can't prevent it!
Although they also had 200 musketeers, their ammunition was depleted during the siege and became an ornament.
These heavy infantry spared their lives, thinking that there were firecrackers in the opposing cavalry.
But Wanyan Zongfu, who was light on the enemy, seemed to forget that Zhao Zhen's army had also passed through Zhao Yingluo's armament, "Only 30,000 cavalry will charge the battle, I think the other party is looking for death!" Herald! Archers prepare, and once the enemy is in range, fire their bows at will. ”
However, the cavalry led by Zhao Zhen had not yet entered their range, but they did not know that they had already entered the range of Zhao Zhen's artillery!
"Bang ......"
More than a dozen artillery pieces fired in succession, and the shells exploded one after another in the army of Wanyan Sosuke, especially the archer camp at the center of the explosion, suffering heavy casualties and wailing.
Wanyan Zongfu was furious, he never expected that the other party's reinforcements were actually equipped with such a big killing weapon.
After a few rounds of artillery fire, Zhao Zhen's cavalry did not lose the slightest, like a sharp sword, breaking through the defense of the heavy cavalry and tearing a long hole in Wanyan Zongfu's army.
The repeated explosions and the success of the opponent's cavalry charging into battle caused the psychological defense line of Wanyan Zongsuke's army to begin to collapse, and Wanyan Zongfu was not much better.
Originally, everything was going smoothly, the victory was in hand, and after the capture of Shanzhou and a good enjoyment, they could wave their army north.
But the arrival of the opposing reinforcements was like a basin of cold water, poured from head to toe, completely extinguishing their fighting spirit.
Although his army was divided into two, Wanyan Sosuke was not too flustered! There are nearly 300,000 of your own army, and the other party's reinforcements are only about 100,000, so how can you fail?
"Order, change formation! The cavalry sorted, cut them in sections, surrounded them, and annihilated. ”
The cavalry who had been ordered began to move, and they organized an attack, trying to completely eliminate the cavalry inserted into their own formation, but who expected that before they could cut it, the other party actually began to withdraw from the severed head and tail.
After the leader Zhao Zhen broke through the enemy camp, he ordered his subordinates to set off fireworks again, and unlike just now, this cluster of fireworks rang off twice.
Wang Zaixing, who was killing the enemy on the city wall, changed his expression again, "This is the signal of an all-out attack!" Transmit...... Pass the order down, attack! Offensive! ”
Wang Zaixing gave an order, and the remaining 10,000 defenders in the city were like chicken blood, brandishing weapons to drive the enemy out of the city gate.
To be precise, to squeeze the enemy army out of the city gates!
