Chapter 555: Take Down (Three Watches)
The Donglin Army immediately took action.
They all rolled over and got up, dressed and armored, and sorted out their weapons.
At this time of emergency assembly, even if some of their generals were not convinced by Song Yuzhang's command, they would still not disobey.
Yang Feng Yin violates, at this time Yang Feng is needed, if you dare to disobey, you will inevitably face military punishment.
The Donglin army was extremely well trained, and after a quarter of an hour it was already in order, with infantry in front and cavalry on the flanks.
Among the infantry, the ironclad shield soldiers were in the front, the spearmen were in the back, and then the string control soldiers were at the end, even when they were running, they did not mess up the formation and rushed towards Lanyue City.
Lanyue City is only two miles away from the military camp of the Donglin Army, and it is only a matter of time to arrive, and when you arrive at the city, you find that the city gate is slowly closing.
"Rushing to the ββ!" Song Yuzhang let out an angry roar in the Chinese army, like thunder exploding in the sky.
The striker accelerated, and the controller was already firing a crossbow.
The Great Moon Army, which was struggling to close the gate, was hit by arrows one after another, but did not flinch, let the arrow rain fall, and desperately closed the city gate.
Crossbow arrows flew out of the city wall, shooting at the Donglin army like a torrential rain.
The Donglin army raised its shield, and the ironclad shield soldiers were divided into two parts, the first half continued to charge, and the second half protected the spearmen and string controllers.
Donglin Iron Cavalry slowly retreated.
Screams came and went, breaking the dark night and spreading over Lanyue City.
This always peaceful city of Dayunbian finally ushered in iron and blood.
The city gate closed slowly but firmly, and when it was only one line away, the Donglin ironclad shield soldiers rushed in and slammed directly into the city gate.
"Bang!" the gate slammed open.
"Ahββ!h
"Hit the city wood!" Song Yuzhang drank.
His feet were supported by a guard, as if he were standing on top of one's head, and he could look down on his surroundings clearly.
The army has its own crashing wood.
Although the Donglin Army is slack, it has not practiced much in peacetime, and has practiced according to the worst-case scenario, how to deal with it if Lanyue City is occupied.
The city crash wood is a spare thing, and when you set off at this time, you will take it with you.
Dozens of people carried a huge log and rushed forward under the protection of ironclad shield soldiers.
The log is about 10 meters long, with three people hugging each other, with four conical sharp corners embedded in the front, and made of fine iron.
In the earth-shattering loud sound of "bang ββ!", the city gate was slammed open, and the ironclad shield soldiers poured in like a tide, and the sound of fighting suddenly sounded.
"The cavalry rushed ββ! me" Song Yuzhang roared excitedly: "They can't do it anymore!"
"Boom ......"
Donglin Tie, who retreated to a mile away, rode a horse and galloped, constantly accelerating, getting faster and faster, and rushed into the city gate furiously.
Immediately, the knight swiped the long knife, and where the iron horse passed, the heads flew up, and pillars of blood soared into the sky.
"Donglin Army, all of them rush to ββ! me"
"Kill the Great Moon Army for meββ!"
Song Yuzhang's blood was full of blood, his eyes were shining, and he roared.
Zhao Songtao hurriedly said on the side: "Your Highness, be careful of deception!"
He found that the eldest prince had become angry, red-eyed, and lost his mind.
This is a big taboo for the manager.
The soldiers can kill red-eyed, and the more they kill, the more excited they become, but the more calm the commander has to be at this time, taking into account all aspects.
Once you lose your mind, it is easy to be led by your opponent and fall into the ambush of the opponent without knowing it.
He felt that the safest thing was to occupy the city gate first, defend the city gate to the death, and then send the vanguard to the city to see the void.
You can't rush in so annoyedly, what if there are traps waiting in the city, wouldn't it be easy to be fooled?
Song Yuzhang glared at him fiercely, his eyes like cold blades.
Zhao Songtao knew that he was now in a state of high excitement, as if he was drunk, and he couldn't speak anymore.
He closed his mouth in amusement.
"Coaxing ......" The sky in the city suddenly brightened, the red light soared into the sky, and the black smoke rose like a pillar.
Zhao Songtao couldn't care about Song Yuzhang's eyes anymore, and hurriedly tugged at the corner of his trousers: "Your Highness, let them withdraw quickly!"
Song Yuzhang kicked him away.
"Chong - rush for meββ! kill the ββ! of the Great Moon Army"
He rushed forward with a rear formation, filling in even if there were traps in front of him.
Zhao Songtao turned over and was almost trampled and injured, hurriedly turned over and flew up, jumping to Song Yuzhang's feet: "Your Highnessββ!"
Song Yuzhang was already red-eyed, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to rush forward.
Approaching the city gates, crossbow arrows rained down.
The shield men had made a passage into which they could not be killed by crossbow arrows.
The Donglin army was well trained, and at this time it was effective, and the crossbow arrows at the head of the city could not penetrate these heavily armored iron shield soldiers except for the broken crossbows.
Song Yuzhang drilled into the city gate and found that something was wrong.
A huge deep pit was dug inside the city gate, about 100 meters wide and 100 meters long, and it was blocked at the city gate.
There is no other way to enter, and one step forward is into the pit.
The cavalry rushed too fast and could not be spared, and fell into the pit one after another, and the horses could not turn over, and they tried to turn over, but they fell into the pit with arrows.
In order to lighten the weight of the horses, these cavalrymen were lightly armoured and could not withstand the fire of crossbow arrows.
The huge pit had been half-filled, and cavalry continued to rush into it and sink into it.
The infantry wanted to rush over, some flew up and performed light feats, and some got into the pit and had to go up the pit.
But around the pit was raging flames, and the flames were soaring to the sky, and if you wanted to pass through the pit, you had to pass through the flames.
On the other side of the flames, on the walls, on the roofs, and across the pits, crossbow arrows rained down on them.
Donglin Jun's dumplings fell into the pit one after another.
The Otsuki String Controller is covered by a shield and shoots arrows through the gaps in the shield.
Even if there was a grandmaster hiding in the army and wanting to sneak attack, as soon as he rushed out, he was killed by the broken crossbow of the Great Moon Grandmaster.
The flames lit up the faces of each soldier, and the Great Moon Army looked solemn, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Donglin Jun's face was hideous, and his eyes were as red as a wolf.
They were inspired to be bloody and ruthless, and they did not hesitate to fight for themselves, even if they were shot and burned to death, they would never flinch.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Song Yuzhang was poured down by a basin of ice water.
The boiling blood and excitement cooled down, and he froze suddenly, and the bloody breath seemed to drown him with viscous blood, and he wanted to vomit.
"Withdraw...... Withdraw ......," he muttered subconsciously.
"Your Highness, you can't mess up!" Zhao Songtao hurriedly grabbed the corner of his trousers, raised his head and said: "After the infantry shield is broken, the cavalry will retreat!"
"Yes, yes. Song Yuzhang looked blankly at the screaming Donglin Army around him, and his mind was blank.
Under the blazing firelight, his handsome face turned pale and his eyes were blank.
"Your Highness!" Zhao Songtao patted his ankle, and a cold breath was injected, which made Song Yuzhang's mind clear.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers!" Zhao Songtao said in a deep voice: "It's just a small defeat, don't take it too seriously!"
Song Yuzhang took a deep breath, nodded slowly, the blankness of his eyes faded, he regained firmness and calmness, and shouted in a deep voice: "The Donglin army obeys the order, the cavalry withdraws! After the shield armor is broken, the spearmen follow the cavalry!"
His voice was clear and high-pitched, like a sonorous iron and stone.
The Donglin army immediately followed the order.
But at this time, there were not many cavalry, almost all the cavalry rushed in, and those who survived were clever cavalry, and there were only more than a hundred horsemen left.
They turned their horses' heads and rushed out.
The passage built by the ironclad shield soldiers was still there, and they rushed out smoothly.
Song Yuzhang shouted: "Spearman!"
Hundreds of spearmen followed.
The rest were shield armor soldiers, and they didn't panic, because Song Yuzhang didn't move, and was with them.
"Shield armor soldiers, withdraw!" Song Yuzhang broke off.
The ironclad shieldmen retreated beside him, slowly retreating, letting the crossbow arrows rain down unharmed.
A long laugh sounded from the other side of the flames, He Lanqing stood on the roof, and Lang smiled: "The eldest prince is leaving?"
Song Yuzhang turned his head and glared, his gaze passed through the raging flames, fell on He Lanqing, gritted his teeth and said slowly: "He Lanqing, today's gift, another day will be repaid tenfold!"
"Haha......" He Lanqing laughed and said: "Although the eldest prince is golden and jade, he is far inferior to Her Royal Highness Princess Qingming's ability to use soldiers like a god, it is better to go back to Yunjing and stay well, enjoy the brocade clothes and food, the military camp is not the place where you should stay for the eldest prince,...... I'll spare you this time and see if you grow next time!"
"Lone will definitely come back!" Song Yuzhang said coldly.
He stomped under his feet, and the two guards holding his feet up accelerated, following the retreating ironclad shield soldiers from Lanyue City.
Zhao Songtao breathed a long sigh of relief: "Your Highness, you have to let the Xilin Army come over immediately to pick it up, so as not to chase Helan Qing!"
"He's not going to chase anymore. Song Yuzhang said.
Zhao Songtao hurriedly said: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, he has no way to pursue at this city gate, he will pursue from another city gate, he just spoke before to paralyze His Highness!"
β...... You go to the Xilin Army to give orders!" Song Yuzhang took out a tiger talisman from his arms: "Go quickly, come back quickly!"
"Yes. Zhao Songtao didn't care to say much, took the tiger talisman and rushed out.
The Xilin Army is not far from the Donglin Army, and it has already found out the situation here, and it is already ready to go.
As soon as he received Zhao Songtao's tiger talisman, he immediately attacked.
But as soon as he ran a mile, he was entangled by a group of cavalry.
Zhao Songtao hurriedly suggested that the commander of Xilin should divide his troops into three ways and respond to the eldest prince as soon as possible, so that he could not be entangled here.
The soldiers were divided into three ways, and in the end two roads were entangled, and only one way was left to meet the eldest prince.
At this time, the eldest prince was surrounded by the Great Moon cavalry and was in danger.
After they came, they relieved the siege of the eldest prince, and then escorted the eldest prince to retreat slowly, and finally retreated to the Xilin military camp.
The Great Moon cavalry slowly retreated.
ββ
"Alas-" Li Chengkong squinted his eyes slightly, and let out a sigh: "Your Highness, Lanyue City has been occupied by Dayue. β
After all, war could not be avoided.
Song Yuzheng smiled "sneering" and glanced at him: "Pure nonsense! How could Lanyue City be occupied by Da Yue, this time is not the last time!"
After the lesson of the last time, it is almost impossible for Lanyue City to be attacked again, and if it is still attacked, it will really damn it.
Li Chengkong told the story of the war.
This is a scene passed down by the disciples of the Celestial Sect, and he can restore the situation at that time by retelling it.
The three disciples of the Heavenly Man Sect recounted each other, and he asked questions in his mind, and finally restored the battle clearly.
"Impossible!" Song Yuzheng's face changed slightly.
The early morning sun shines on the lake.
The two were sitting in a small pavilion on Nanwangfu Lake.
Dugu Shuming had already returned home to review the official documents, Xu Zhiyi stood aside and waited, and Yuan Ziyan went to do something else.
Li Chengkong smiled: "Ling Zuntuo is too big, he looks down on Da Yue too much, thinking that Da Yue doesn't dare to move troops, right?"
In the final analysis, it was because he broke Dayong's soldiers, so that Dayue had no worries.
The Donglin army did not return to its heart, and the eldest prince did not lead troops, these are rare opportunities, so Dayue attacked brazenly and took Lanyue City.
