Chapter 1442: The Siege of Nanjing City (10)

Ding Kui and Shaodiantai are both in the air, but Ding Kui's vision is relatively superior, and the troops can be hidden in the barracks, and the attacking troops will definitely be exposed to the wild.

"Wolf smoke!" Tan Shang suddenly became excited.

I saw wolf smoke passing from the southeast, indicating that the reinforcements of Ding Kui and others were about to arrive.

Shao Diantai obviously saw it too, and he didn't care about continuing to confront Ding Kui, and hurriedly flew back to his main formation.

The impact of the cavalry was even more ferocious, and the crane wing array of the three major teams of the 80th Division was a little unable to hold on, and the captain personally went to the front row of the gun array and commanded the elite infantry to break the guns of the cavalry formation.

Boom, an arrow tower collapsed, a gap appeared in the camp wall below, and the navy cooperated with the cavalry to attack, and finally tore a hole after paying the price of a corpse.

Half of the officers and soldiers who were protecting the arrow tower immediately formed a circle on the spot and blocked the gap behind the gap to prevent the enemy from rushing into the northern camp.

Shaodiancang remounted his war horse, temporarily organized dozens of horsemen, rushed into the newly opened gap, and swung his spear to attack the circle formation.

At this time, a group of cavalry was killed in the camp, and it was Jomon who led the way. He led his troops in pursuit of the enemy cavalry that broke into the barracks, and also commanded the scattered troops to assemble into battle formations.

"Jomon! Come and eat grandpa's shot. Shao Diancang scattered the round formation, and turned his head to see Qiao Meng beating his subordinates behind him to the ground.

"You're a general. Qiao Meng ignored Shao Diancang and continued to chase the enemy cavalry that ran to the depths of the barracks.

Shaodian Cang just wanted to chase Qiao Meng, but a sharp sound of breaking wind sounded behind him, and he quickly turned around and turned his gun to resist the rain of arrows.

This salvo of strong crossbows was not easy to stop, and a squadron of phalanxes shot out, a full hundred arrows.

Sure enough, Shao Dian Cang hurriedly stopped only one-third of the arrows, one-third of which pierced through the spear's defense, hitting his mount, and half of the other third was dodged sideways by him, and half of them hit the Dou Qi armor.

More than ten attacks equivalent to fifth-level combat power, he was shot off his horse, and several crossbow arrows were inserted into the essence armor, and they actually shot through the Douqi armor.

Bang, another round of shooting.

"Protect your lord!" Shaodian was dumbfounded, and rode his horse to rush in front of Shaodiancang, his spear and sword out to resist the crossbow arrows.

The dozen or so horsemen closest to Shaodian Cang also hurriedly urged their horses forward, but unfortunately they were one step late and failed to help Shao Dianben, and half of the hundred crossbow arrows were inserted into Shaodian Ben and his mount.

"Run! There's cover over there. Shaodiancang stood up and pointed to the arrow tower on the ground, "Hurry up!" After speaking, he picked up his gun and ran.

The best way to deal with a salvo of crossbow arrows is to dodge, as crossbow arrows do not automatically track the target and are not so easy to get hit when running.

With a bang, another round of crossbow arrows came and knocked over the hard-supported Shaodianben. He can't run anymore, and he is the target of the fire, the people next to him can't save him, Shao Diancang knows very well, so he can only leave him in pain.

"Pull the net, pull the stumbling rope, Captain Zhang, lead your men to form a sharp arrow formation, and rush at the enemy who has reduced the speed of the horse. Qiao Meng went to the rear of the troops that had been lined up in battle, and commanded the men and horses in the vicinity to counterattack on the spot.

More and more cavalry rushed into the gap, and Shaodiancang hid behind the ruins of the arrow tower, commanding his subordinates to tear down the wall to widen the gap.

The eastern camp was in chaos, and the garrison and cavalry formed a number of small war groups, and a fierce battle was fought in the barracks.

Boom, an arrow tower also fell on the western camp wall, but fortunately, Han Rujian had already judged and arrived in time to organize nearby troops to block the gap that was opened.

Wu Yu led the remaining seven brigades to rush out of the main formation, and the second cavalry division launched a full-scale charge. There was also a division in the rear, and it looked like it was about to charge.

Ding Kui turned around and rushed down and made a few gestures, Jiang Zhi could see it clearly in the binoculars, so he ordered: "Tell Xi Xiu to let the enemy army into the camp to fight, and if necessary, you can set fire." ”

Woo-woo, woo-woo, a low trombone blows the signal to retreat.

"The crossbowmen should withdraw first, and the battle formations of the other troops should not be dispersed, and they should be withdrawn to the rear of Jiangtai alternately. Qiao Meng and Han Rujian immediately organized the troops to retreat.

Boom, boom, boom, more arrow towers fell, multiple gaps appeared in the camp wall of the rear camp one after another, and the 91st Division finally fully attacked the North Camp after the retreat of the garrison troops.

However, the barracks was still full of dangers, there were battle formations in all the open spaces, and there were terrible iron pulleys, and in the center was a thick glaive array, and Wang Chou stood proudly at the eye of the formation.

"Don't light the fire! stupid!" Shaodian scolded angrily, "The troops behind are still rushing in, isn't it unpleasant to burn the camp tent!"

Some subordinates casually set fire to a camp tent, which was originally a habitual action after breaking the enemy camp, and the fire could also undermine the confidence of the garrison.

But today's situation is different, the Tenth Army must use the fastest speed to break the North Camp, and cannot wait for the fire to burn slowly, and must use sufficient troops to disperse the garrison army.

"Entangle the enemy, wait for the 92nd Division to come up and crush them!" Shao Diancang did not organize the troops to charge again.

The replenished 91st Division, which had 7,000 men, had fallen more than 1,000 when they stormed the barracks wall and gate, and after rushing into the barracks, they were met with a comprehensive counterattack by more than 10,000 garrison troops, and more than 2,000 more fell in order to keep the gaps that had been opened.

So far, there are only more than 3,000 people left under Shaodian Cang's men, and all of them are not as many as the Glaive Array in the distance, and if they organize a charge again, they will lose all of them.

"Tear down all the tents!" Gan Yun led the remaining sailors to continue to clear the way for the cavalry.

The most in the barracks is the camp tent, which occupies the most space, and can free up a lot of space after being demolished, which can be used by the cavalry to accelerate again.

"Lao Shu, please go to the middle camp to build a defense line, and clear the firebreak near the rear camp. "Xi Xiu is ready to give up the camp.

"Okay, don't hold on, there's a legion on the other side after all. After speaking, Shu Li ordered the generals to step down.

The vanguard of the 92nd Division rushed into the barracks, and under the guidance of Shao Diancang, they rushed to the Glaive Formation blocked in the middle.

"It's a good time!" Wang Chou jumped on his horse, "Archers and crossbowmen shoot rapidly!"

There were 1,000 ranged soldiers at the bottom of the Glaive Formation, and the dense rain of arrows was enough to cover the open space in the center of the rear camp, and the forward of the 92nd Division was hit head-on, and the first layer of cavalry at the front was immediately cut off.

"The sharp arrow is strong!" the commanding officer red-eyed. Narrowing the front of the attack would reduce the damage, and he was not wrong in his decision.

Xi Xiu ordered: "The ballista will concentrate on attacking the middle of the cavalry formation. ”

The ballista on the platform was fired, which made the officer who ordered the formation regret his death, but of course, he was really dead, and the giant crossbow bolt nailed him to the ground.

Shaodiancang didn't see this scene, because he led the team to the east, and the even taller platform caught his attention.

It is the junction of the North Camp and the East Camp, Shuaitai is backed by the back camp of the East Camp, Shao Diancang does not know that the East Camp is an empty camp, and 10,000 people wear military uniforms to guard the fortifications, looking and guarded.

When he saw Jiang Zhi, he couldn't hold back the idea of sneaking up on the enemy commander in his heart, Ding Kui was in the sky, Jiang Zhi was actually commanding the army of the small court, and his status was equivalent to that of the commander.

"Rush! rush over and capture the enemy commander alive!" Shao Diancang recklessly ordered to charge again.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi had a disdainful smile on his face. When Wang Chou passed through the East Battalion, he left him 5,000 elite soldiers, "Let the enemy go to the Shuai Tai to surround and kill!" He boldly used himself as bait.

At this time, Wu Yu led the team into the Beida camp, and found that his forward troops had become a bloody road, and his heart sank: the enemy did not use all his strength at first, but deliberately let us into the camp, and this battle was not easy to fight.

"From both flanks to the enemy general's platform. He didn't choose to charge the Glaive Formation, "The Ninth Brigade dismounted and advanced in multiple rows on foot, and the Ten Brigades were waiting for an opportunity to charge behind. ”

Walking is good for dodging crossbow arrows, and spreading out in rows can share long-range attacks, and enemy attacks can only be filled with human lives.

"The ballista stopped attacking and aimed at the cavalry behind. Xi Xiu didn't want to waste giant crossbow arrows on the foot cavalry, "General Han, please lead the troops of the Eastern Battalion to the middle camp to fortify." ”

The melee in the military camp needs a strong army, and he only left the original troops of the Beida Battalion, and the troops of the Twelfth Army can only serve as reserves.

The 79th and 80th divisions are good at fighting defensive battles, and they are not at all afraid to face the cavalry on their home turf, plus the "foreign aid" commanded by Wang Chou, more than 20,000 people will not be too difficult to deal with the 92nd division.

Wu Yu's Ninth Brigade fell half of the people halfway through, "The Ten Brigades dismounted and went to the top, and the Eighth Brigade assembled and stood by." "He can only continue to fight, and the Ninth Brigade will not be able to withdraw.

Shaodiantai flew back into the air, and at this time his attention was no longer on Ding Kui, and his eyes drifted to the southeast from time to time.

Ding Kui suddenly shouted with luck: "Don't look at it! The 71st Division has already gone around behind you!"

"Hahaha! Even if you let Dong Ba come, I can teach him how to command the cavalry. "Shaodian Taicai doesn't believe Ding Kui's nonsense.

The cavalry corps put scouts for at least ten miles during the war, and the rear road was more than twenty miles, far beyond Ding Kui's line of sight, Shaodiantai didn't know where the 71st Division was, but he only knew that there was definitely no behind.

It has been nearly half an hour since the start of the battle, and the 71st Division has a great chance to arrive, but it has not yet shown up for the time being.

Ding Kui needed those three well-equipped divisions, but one 71st division was not enough to change the tide of the battle, plus the 74th and 75th divisions to ensure the defeat of Shaodiantai.

"Kill!" Wang Chou raised his long sword, eager to rush to the front row.

Wu Yu on the opposite side also ordered: "The eight brigades are divided into small cavalry formations to charge!"

The last row of 200 people of the 92nd Division Ninth Brigade finally came to the infantry of the Glaive Formation, and there were still ten relatively complete teams behind them.

"Ballista attack!" Xi Xiu's attention was all on the front.

The troops guarding the flanks were no less than in the center, and the place was narrow, which was not conducive to a large-scale cavalry charge, and the defensive pressure was not great.

Whoosh, a fiery dragon flew down.

Chen Panqiu, who had a grim face, ordered: "The whole army will attack!"

The 93rd Division, which was on standby, was divided into five teams and ran to the Beida Battalion.

The outer wall of the rear camp was torn apart by more than a dozen huge gaps, and the cavalry coming up from behind could pass through quickly, and Wu Chao, who was caught in a bitter battle, could immediately get strong support.
