Chapter 146: Why Escape!

The first battle to break out was actually outside the city.

A hundred and ten Xianbei people were forced to stay outside to take care of the horses, because they did not bring all the horses into the city.

Seeing Chen Yougen arrive with four hundred long sword troops, these Xianbei people who were feeding the horses didn't know why, what was this going to do?

Someone shouted a few words, but no one understood.

After the 400 people dismounted, 20 people were left to gather the horses, and the remaining 300 people immediately formed a team, put on armor and crossbows, and rushed towards the grazing Xianbei people.

Some Xianbei shepherds felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously took the horses, turned around and fled.

Some people watched dumbly, and they were greeted by a dense barrage of crossbows.

The screams were endless.

One after another, Xianbei people fell to the ground.

Someone took out their weapons to resist, and was soon cut to the ground by the samurai of the Longsword Army who abandoned their crossbows and wielded swords.

Almost one-sided killings.

"Chang Cang, you take fifty people and go on horseback to pursue the remnants of the enemy." Chen Yougen commanded.

"No." Chang Cang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took his team of fifty people, one of whom led three horses, brought a single crossbow and a heavy sword, and chased in the direction where several enemies had fled.

"Liu Da, you lead fifty people to gather the horses." Chen Yougen continued to order: "The rest of the people, follow me to search for the thieves and see if there is any horse pasture." ”

"No." The soldiers responded with a bang, scattered and mounted their horses, and disappeared into the night with a roar.

Towards the door, the battle began a little later.

The first 600 people of the Silver Spear Army set off first, and when they arrived, they found that there were Xianbei warriors chatting in twos and threes in the city gate cave.

Two hundred veterans were greeted by a rain of arrows with well-wound bows.

In the dark city gate cave, there was a lot of snorting and screaming.

The archers did not stop, and after one round of shooting, they drew a second arrow from their quivers at their waists, and as they went, they shot at the place where the figure longed.

The screams gradually became less and less, and gradually disappeared.

Four hundred recruits of the Silver Lance Army brought seven or eight baggage wagons and rushed in formation.

They walked dozens of steps, and finally met the first group of Xianbei people, who came to check when they heard the screams at the city gate. It seems that there are hundreds of people up and down, not riding horses, holding a variety of weapons, and the momentum is violent.

"Uhh

The Xianbei people were caught off guard and lay down more than 20 people on the spot.

The others scolded and dispersed backwards, apparently calling for someone.

The drums of "Dong Dong Dong ......" sounded, and the sword and shield men of the left guard of the forbidden army rushed up, led by Huang Biao, the owner of the building, holding a large shield and a ring head knife, closely following the heavy vehicles, and advancing along the avenue.

The sound of "rustling" footsteps sounded, and pikemen dressed in the only four hundred pairs of iron armor followed behind the sword and shield men.

Behind them, there were a much larger number of spear-wielding foot soldiers, with only leather armor or no armor - but enough, in the narrow streets, there was no need for all men to be armoured.

Four hundred foot archers were sent from Jiying to the Chaomen to help in the battle.

They glanced in amazement at the silver-speared army, all bowed.

Some archers have been soldiers for more than ten years, and this is the first time they have seen a unit with all archers and all close combat.

The men of the crossbow battalion also came.

While building a second barricade in the rear, they used horse-drawn carriages to bring in several huge crossbow machines in an attempt to come forward to support the infantry.

The whole offensive formation was quickly set up.

The crossbows were loaded onto the carriage, and the sword and shield bearers and pikemen guarded the front and back, left and right, covering the crossbowmen to operate the crossbow machine.

A large group of men followed.

The thick jungle of spears is endless, and the archers are ready to help.

Some of the archers from the base camp even entered the houses on both sides of the street, some climbed on the roof, some even squatted on the trees, holding strong bows, condescending to kill the Xianbei people in twos and threes.

At the end of the street rang out the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

When Shao Xun heard this, he immediately climbed to the top of the wall of a private house and looked at it from a distance.

The cavalry is getting closer and faster.

Shao Xun didn't even bother to do it, because there were always fools who wanted to play cavalry charges on the narrow streets.

"Woo-" the horn sounded.

The powerful frame was instantly pushed out.

With a scream of death, the thick crossbow bolts pierced through the thick night sky and crashed into the oncoming Xianbei cavalry with a thousand momentum.

People turn on their backs!

The crossbow brought terrible damage, and the horse rose to its feet in agony, throwing the knight on his back to the ground.

The knight rolled out the moment he landed, and before he could get up, the other horse fell to the ground and pressed against his calf.

There was a "click", and the terrible howl resounded through half the street, just like the terrible howl of the woman he had tortured and killed last night.

Another batch of crossbow bolts came, this time the knight fell from his horse.

The iron armor on his body was like paper paste, and it was directly pierced by the crossbow arrow, and the person was also carried out by the strong force, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, motionless.

Crossbow bolts continued to shoot out, and the corpses of the cavalry piled up. And after they fell, they even formed larger and more obstacles, completely blocking the charge of the follow-up cavalry.

"Knock knock knock ......" drums sounded.

"Kill!" The archers crossed the carcasses of men and horses, and stood in a wave of fire.

The pikemen struggled over the obstacles, then formed a group and ran in small steps, chasing after the Xianbei cavalry who were riding back.

"Kill!" The spears were poked out in columns, and the cavalry in groups of three or five was not an opponent at all, and they were instantly stabbed to the ground.

Someone wielded a halberd in vain, but he sat on horseback, and the gap between his armpits and front and back was too great, and he was first knocked to the ground by a wooden coffin, and then his throat was cut by the rushing sword and shield hand. After a convulsion, he stopped moving.

The footmen marching in line with the wall are invincible in the alleys.

Crossbows and infantry bows provide long-range firepower, large shields shield the threat posed by soft riding bows, spears stab, ring-headed knives decapitation, and no one can stop them.

The Xianbei people "had fun" for a day and a night, and they had already suffered a great loss of physical strength, and many shepherds and herdsmen could not find a leader, and the largest resistance organized was only at the level of 100 people, and it was soon completely crushed.

The streets are full of corpses of people and horses, stacked on top of each other.

The horses must not be able to run, and now they can only play foot combat, which they are not good at.

But infantry combat needs organization, equipment, and training, and they are lacking in this area. When facing the left guard of the forbidden army that is lined up in a strict formation, with all arms ready and cooperating with tacit understanding, it is almost impossible to stop for a moment.

Not to mention that there are still people who are lap legs, and it is really difficult for them to dismount and fight......

******

A dark cloud drifted across the night sky.

The wind suddenly rose and blew away the bloody breath of Chang'an.

But the killing didn't stop.

Columns of forbidden army foot soldiers, armed with swords and guns, cleaned up the remnants of the enemy in this part of the northern city house by house.

I didn't have time to count it down, but I killed more than a thousand people anyway.

After advancing for a while, they encountered more than 500 people from the precursor battalion who came in from the direction of Yongzheng.

These hundreds of heavily armored infantry were covered in blood, and after meeting the division, they laughed and shouted "kill happily".

After the two armies converged, they continued to sweep the remnants of the enemy along the street.

It didn't take long for the sound of killing in the direction of Zhicheng Gate and Qingming Gate to sparsely fall, and nearly 2,000 foot soldiers on both sides successfully killed through the entire street and met in the center.

So far, these divisions have killed at least 2,500 Xianbei cavalry, and the results are remarkable.

The left guard sergeants distributed in the south, southwest, and southeast gates were still fighting.

But listening to the sparse sound, it should be nearing the end.

Everyone's hearts are getting more and more excited, what kind of life do you have to fight to kill 5,000 cavalry on weekdays?

After this battle, Luoyang's biggest enemy was also eliminated - uh, it seems that something is not quite right.

Qi Hong hurriedly hid in Miyagi.

He was not stupid, and knew that in such a situation, it would be impossible to rush out on horseback.

The corpses of men and horses blocked the streets, and at least three barricades were set up in each city gate, and they were afraid that if they rushed out, they would be shot into a sieve by crossbows.

He once wanted to get out of the castle, but he didn't find a chance, so he fought and retreated, hiding in the palace city, trying to resist stubbornly.

But in a hurry, there were only more than 200 people gathered around him, which made him want to cry without tears.

The 5,000 iron horsemen who used to be Xuanhe, if they charge in the wilderness, who can stop them?

But they were yin and blocked in Chang'an City, and they couldn't find a way out of the predicament.

What to do!

What's even more desperate is that Duan Xianbei, who was wooed by Wang Dudu by marrying his daughter, can he get up again after this heavy blow? You must know that in many battles in the past few years, they have lost more than 3,000 horsemen in pieces, and this time they lost another 5,000, which can be described as a nerve-wracking for Duan Xianbei, who has a population of only 150,000 or 60,000.

Duan Xianbei is not without enemies.

The prairie is most afraid of showing its decline, because if you do, you risk being eaten by your vicious neighbors.

Alas!

However, now is not the time to grieve for Duanbu, and that has little to do with him. Qi Hong cleaned up his mood and looked around for a way out of the predicament.

At this time, drum noise sounded outside the Miyagi Shenhu Gate and Yunlong Gate. After a while, the sound of blade clashing sounded, and the Xianbei soldiers who stayed behind the door left in embarrassment and dispersed.

The gates of the two palaces, one east and one west, were opened one after another.

"Kill the thief!" Hundreds of soldiers of the Silver Spear Army entered from the Shenhu Gate, and hundreds of armor soldiers of the forward battalion attacked from the Yunlong Gate.

The army formed a phalanx in the wide square in front of the palace and marched briskly.

"It's over!" Qi Hong sent the last hundred or so people to fight the enemy.

He took a few relatives and ran in the direction of Xiaoyao Garden in the north of Miyagi.

It was only when I got close to the world that I found that the garden was full of dead branches and leaves, and it had not been used for a long time, and all the gates were sealed.

He was in a hurry.

In a hurry, he summoned an entourage and ordered him to hold himself and send him up, and after holding the wall with his hand, he was about to exert himself, but he heard a "whoosh" sound, and a long arrow flew from behind and came out through his neck.

Qi Hong's hands tugged at the end of the wall a few times, and then hung down weakly and fell to the ground with a bang.

The Golden Armor God General rushed over quickly, and the heavy sword slashed horizontally one after another, and there was almost no enemy.

A moment later, all four people in the Xiaoyao Garden, including Qi Hong, were killed.

He Shi Shiran wiped the heavy sword, then took out the ring head knife, cut off Qi Hong's head, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "General Qi is in a hurry to escape!" ”
