Chapter 62, Broken!
At night, Lin Zheng summoned three generals, including Yan Liang, overnight and told them in detail the information that had been interrogated from Sun Qi's mouth.
"Armor-piercing arrows against heavy cavalry......" Qian Weimin looked embarrassed: "Yang Luhai's reputation is not obvious, I have never heard of it in Yunzhou for so many years, so will Sun Qi just be alarmist, there is actually no such person, and there is no armor-piercing arrow." ”
"What do you think. Lin Zheng looked at Li Zhengzhi.
"In a battle three years ago, our side captured an enemy spy, and after torture, the spy confided some information, and we attacked the city of Chu based on this information, but it ended in failure, just because this spy was suicidal and misled, and conveyed the wrong information to our army......" Li Zhengzhi looked at Qian Weimin and then at Lin Zheng.
"Is this so?" Lin Zheng frowned: "Has the Chu State launched such a tactic?"
"Moreover, we have never heard of Yang Luhai's name, how can such a powerful character be unknown? If he can really develop an arrow to restrain the heavy cavalry, I am afraid that he will already be famous all over the world. Li Zhengzhi showed hesitation in his eyes, but he still said his opinion.
"Is that so?" Lin Zheng looked at Yan Liang: "What do you think?"
Yan Liang originally thought that the information from Lin Zheng's interrogation was valid, but now that he heard what Qian Weimin and Li Zhengcheng said, he also denied what Sun Qi said.
But seeing Lin Zheng's gaze, Yan Liang's heart was touched, and he stood by Lin Zheng's side without hesitation: "I think what Sun Qi said should be true." ”
Lin Zheng nodded, and there was already a decisive meaning in his eyes.
"Show our army's hole cards. Lin Zheng said.
"My lord, this matter must not be hastily decided!" Qian Weimin hurriedly stopped: "The heavy shield and horse armor are all prepared by us for the solid armor pass, if they are shown now, I am afraid that the effect of the surprise attack will be lost!"
"The effect of the surprise attack?" Lin Zheng frowned: "The effect of the surprise attack, you want to bet on the lives of 300,000 soldiers of my entire army?
"Lord Commander misunderstood, his subordinates are just, his subordinates are just ......" Qian Weimin was angry when he saw Lin, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only pull the corner of Li Zhengzhi's clothes and beg him to help him.
"Lord Commander, Commander Qian is also for the sake of the soldiers, how many soldiers can we lose when we fight a Hengshan Pass, but the Gujia Pass is different, the Gujia Pass is the real fortress to defend the city! If there is no surprise attack effect, how many soldiers will we lose when we attack the Gujia Pass? Li Zhengzhi and Qian Weimin knelt down on one knee and said.
"Commander Li!" Lin Zheng shouted coldly, "When did you start to be so arrogant?"
"What do you mean, my lord?" asked Li Zhengzhi, frowning and kneeling on one knee.
"During the first battle of Yunzhou City, you knew that you avoided its edge, measured and retreated ten miles, and recaptured Yunzhou City with the lowest losses with the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, and now the commander of An Shanzhong didn't know such a clumsy plan?" Lin Zheng frowned angrily and looked at the two kneeling in front of him.
"You are not afraid that the other party will use the advantage of armor-piercing arrows to lose our soldiers with all their might, and then abandon Hengshan Pass and retreat to the back city, won't we suffer a dark loss?!"
"This ......" Li Zhengzhi and Qian Weimin glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of horror in each other's eyes.
"The adults have a long-term vision, and the subordinates are far inferior to the ......" The two thought about it and were convinced, and said in unison.
"Being in the position of commander, but not thinking about the danger of the soldiers, is a dereliction of duty!" Lin Zheng pointed at the two and said angrily.
"Money is taught for the people. Qian Weimin bowed his head and raised it facelessly.
"Li Zhengzhi was taught. Li Zhengzhi also bowed his head, secretly reflecting on himself, it is true that he has not thought long-term, and secretly repents and admires Lin Zheng.
This commander of his own is indeed talented.
"Still kneeling, hurry up and issue the soldiers with heavy shields and horse armor, it will soon be dawn. ”
Qian Weimin and Li Zhengzhi immediately nodded and withdrew from the big tent.
Lin Zheng and others agreed overnight that they would no longer hide their clumsy hole cards and do their best to capture Hengshan Pass, do their best to reduce losses, and occupy Hengshan Pass in one fell swoop.
After the two left, Lin Zheng sat on the chair with a headache on his face, and Yan Liang took a coat and draped it on Lin Zheng.
"Qian Weimin and Li Zhengzhi are both talents, but their limitations are too strong, and they don't think about things far-reaching enough. Lin Zheng was helpless and tired, except for Yan Liang, he had no one to entrust.
"Don't be too tired. Yan Liang said softly.
"With the pressure of the Heavenly Master Pavilion sinking on my shoulders, I can't be easy no matter what. Lin Zheng smiled helplessly, got up and walked out of the big tent.
The ink-like darkness of the sky had receded, replaced by a blue that rose from the horizon, swallowing up the remnants of the night.
"Whole army!" Lin Zheng stood in front of the 300,000-strong army, pacing on a horse with dark coat.
The heavy cavalry each held a black iron spear in one hand, a heavy shield woven of iron and wood in the other, and the horses under the seat were all wearing iron lock armor, so once a heavy cavalry charged, it would definitely be a terrifying meat grinder on the battlefield.
The heavy cavalry was led by Qian Weimin, Li Zhengzhi, and Yan Liang, while Shen Yueting led people to drag the huge siege weapon and followed behind.
The three thousand heavy horsemen who belonged to the Heavenly Master Pavilion followed behind Lin Zheng, and trampled the ground with iron hooves in the face of Hengshan Pass.
"Iron knights, charge!" Lin Zheng gave an order, and took the lead in charging towards the city wall of Hengshan Pass with three thousand black armor heavy horses. Yan Liang and the three of them also led their respective teams, and in the neighing of the horses, they launched a charge!
The 100,000 iron horsemen are like a wild beast, trampling towards Hengshan Pass with a terrifying posture!
The speed of the 100,000 heavy cavalry was very slow at the beginning, and compared with the ordinary cavalry, it could be described as a turtle crawling, but as the speed of the charging horses became faster and faster, a sharp arrow led by 3,000 black armored heavy cavalry was gradually formed, and it broke through the Hengshan Pass!
On the city wall, An Shanzhong had already led his army to guard the city, waiting for this attack that would come sooner or later. Even at midnight, An Shan was afraid that Lin Zheng would launch a surprise attack, so he guarded the city early.
"Call Yang Luhai to come!" An Shan finally saw this black cavalry pressing towards his side, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately called Yang Luhai.
"What's the matter, don't you know I'm trying my best to assemble the five-shot repeater?" Yang Luhai had two big dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were full of exhaustion. The roar resounded even more through the city.
"Don't talk nonsense, come over and see if your armor-piercing arrow can penetrate their heavy shield?!" An Shanzhong cursed, and once again carried Yang Luhai to the head of the city to look at the cavalry who were charging over.
Yang Luhai's eyes widened, looking at the heavy shields in the hands of the heavy cavalry, and muttered in a low voice: "It has some effect, but it has little effect." Yang Luhai knew that even if the armor-piercing bow could pierce the armor, the most rational effect would be stuck on the heavy shield, and it would never be able to go any further.
"What should I do then?!" An Shan finally had the feeling that he had prepared 100,000 arrows but shot them in the sea, and he was desperate and powerless.
"Hurry up and shoot all the arrows, kill as many as you can, and then run quickly!" Yang Luhai didn't know where the courage came from, so he jumped up and smashed An Shanzhong's helmet with his fist: "I still need to teach you this?"
"Look at their speed! one by one they run like arrows to the swish, how can we run? two legs can run through those four legs?" An Shan finally became angry.
"What then?" Yang Luhai felt fear in his heart.
"You run first, you are an important talent in the Chu State. An Shan finally threw a token to Yang Luhai: "With this token, you will not be treated as a deserter." ”
"What about you?" Yang Luhai asked.
"I'm going to die here!" An Shanzhong pushed Yang Luhai Seeing that the heavy cavalry had reached the farthest distance that the arrows could reach, he immediately let the tens of thousands of archers guarding the city release their arrows: "I am an orphan, I grew up in a temple, and my master said that I rarely have a good death in my life, so I named myself a good death when I was still vulgar, and now my master is right." ”
"An good death!" Yang Luhai kicked him forward: "You are letting Lao Tzu leave you and run by yourself!"
"How about it, let's die here together, that's a loss!" An Shanzhong watched the arrows shoot at the heavy shield, but there were no casualties, and he took off his helmet in despair, so he was much younger.
"I'm not leaving, I've got a hundred five-shot repeaters, and we'll be able to escape to the next city with them. Yang Luhai said stubbornly.
"Why are you so stupid?" An Shanzhong finally became a little impatient, and when he turned around, he saw the man who was extremely haggard after working day and night.
"Good death, come with me. Yang Luhai said.
"I'm the commander of Hengshan Pass!" An Shanzhong shook his head and called two guards to drag Yang Luhai away.
"Take him back to Gujiaguan. After An Shanzhong finished speaking, he took off the heavy bow on his back, took out a thick feather arrow from the quiver, and shot it at Lin Zheng.
Seeing this, Lin Zheng turned over and dodged the huge feather arrow, but accidentally let the feather arrow penetrate the three black-armored heavy riders, seeing that he couldn't survive, Lin Zheng's anger soared in his heart, and he saw the neighboring city head jump forward and start to climb up.
Seeing this, Yan Liang unknowingly disappeared from his horse, turning into a shadow and following behind Lin Zheng.
shot more than a dozen huge feather arrows in a row, and An Shanzhong was also sweating on his forehead, seeing that Lin Zheng climbed to the top of the city and tried to take the quiver again, but it was empty.
"You are the commander of the Heavenly Division's Pavilion?" An Shanzhong saw many black-armored heavy horsemen abandon their horses and climb up to the top of the city to slaughter his own soldiers, and his heart was full of anger.
"It's me. Lin Zheng held the black knife in his hand, and rushed towards An Shanzhong.
An Shan finally held a heavy bow, although he had no arrows, he was not afraid of Lin Zheng at all, and the momentum of an immortal stroking his head exploded, and he actually took two steps back from Lin Zhengzhen, who rushed over.
"Since the Hengshan Pass has been broken, I don't want to survive, I can take you away before I die, and I won't lose!" An Shanzhong jumped high with a heavy bow in his hand and smashed down on Lin Zheng's head.
Lin Zheng rolled backwards and barely dodged, looking at An Shanzhi indifferently.
"Hmph. An Shanzhong still wanted to pursue, but suddenly his neck was cold, and he was in doubt and wanted to touch his neck to see what the situation was, and the next moment his head fell to the ground.
"I'm dead?" An Shanzhong's head slipped down, and he saw his headless body and Yang Luhai's carriage far away.
Behind Hengshan Pass, Yang Luhai, who was pressed on the carriage and couldn't struggle, suddenly turned red when he saw this, and Lin Zheng and Yan Liang, who was standing behind An Shan's corpse, were deeply imprinted in his mind.
