Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 58 pulls up
The arrival of the Xijiang cavalry has indeed aroused the fighting spirit of both sides. One side wants to defend Ximen to the death so that the Xijiang cavalry can enter the city smoothly, while the other side wants to take Xijiang and lock the Xijiang cavalry in the city. Outside the gate, the West City Gate seemed to have suddenly become a sticking point on the battlefield between the two sides, but the Xijiang Rangers were different from ordinary light cavalry. Their long-term nomadic life on the grassland had honed their riding and shooting skills. Although it was impossible to enter the city for a while, a dense crossbow formation was quickly assembled under the organization of the officers. Although the free riding and archery skills were not as uniform as the arrow formation, this kind of diffusion was very beneficial to the crowded people. The city guards on the walls did a lot of damage.
The diffusion with a certain angle almost poured into the soldiers of the city guards crowded on the city wall layer by layer. The double constraints of the Janissaries who were desperately resisting above seemed to be gradually extinguished, especially the shooting angles of the rangers under the city wall were almost just right. Covering the entire city wall unimpeded, the soldiers of the city guard had to hold up their shields to protect themselves from the rain of arrows coming from under the city wall while launching the attack bravely. The imperial guards, who were already somewhat unable to hold on, were finally able to take a breath, and the jack gate of the west city gate was opened step by step in this seemingly stalemate state.
Although he tried his best, he could only watch helplessly as the Qianjin gate was raised inch by inch. The Xijiang cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently outside the city, were already ready to go. They only waited for the moment when the Qianjin gate was raised, and that was the time for them to enter the city to show their skills.
Ba Yinzhuo was not as optimistic as the men under his command. Combat in the city is not as smooth as a field battle. The advantage of the cavalry lies in the impact and maneuvering speed brought by the horses. When entering the city, this advantage will disappear. Facing the dense infantry formation, the advantage of the rangers is not If it cannot be fully utilized, it will cause considerable losses to our own troops. But Bayinzhuo, who has been in the position of regiment commander for a certain period of time, is no longer the nomadic man who prided himself on fighting on the grasslands. He already understands that sometimes it is necessary to make certain sacrifices, regardless of the importance of the imperial capital. It can be seen. Although Cui Shuai did not explicitly mention the accident in the imperial capital before leaving, it is clearly visible that he attaches great importance to the situation in the imperial capital. This is also the reason why Bayinzhuo took the risk to give up his mission and rush to the front line of the imperial capital. Now he has left Here we go. It is impossible to shrink back because of fear of sacrifice. This is not only an insult to a nomadic warrior, but also absolutely not allowed in the Western Frontier Army.
Since entering the city is inevitable, we can only try to avoid the disadvantage of cavalry. Try to choose the main roads and streets to attack. As long as the enemy is not a massed infantry phalanx, this battle can still be fought. Bayinzhuo doesn't think he can turn the tide, but his investment of 30,000 cavalry can at least save the enemy. The guards added a substantial amount of support, and Bayinzhuo hoped that he could buy time for the imperial guards. Jinzhong and Luyang's Xijiang armies would not sit idly by, but they must not come as fast as he did. When the armies of Jinzhong and Luyang arrived, it was announced that the end of the city guard army had arrived.
When the Qianjin gate was finally hoisted, the howling cavalry almost swarmed in. The nomadic cavalry who had already put away their bows and crossbows and held up their sabers immediately completed the role change, from crossbowmen to crossbowmen. Became a shock cavalry.
The entry of the Xijiang Rangers into the city is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the City Guards. Yusuf, who had already seen the dawn of victory, was stunned. The people from Xijiang came so quickly that Yusuf almost felt desperate, but when he learned that only cavalry and no other auxiliary infantry entered the city, Yusuf seemed to see it again. The last hope. The cavalry can't play much role in a metropolis like the imperial capital. There are not many wide streets. Besides, as long as they are arranged in a dense square formation, the role of the cavalry will be greatly restricted. Even if you leave the city, it won't play much role.
It's just that although Yusuf's calculations are good enough, many things are not as simple as he imagined, just like Li Wufeng did not expect that Tie Longping would let the city guards enter the imperial capital under such circumstances, Yousuf Sufu also didn't expect that the city guards had turned into a rabid dog out of control after entering the city, biting anyone they saw, and even his master couldn't make it act according to his intention.
Like streams of lava flowing out of a surging crater, the entire city guard almost no longer has a complete command system. Each division launched an attack in different directions according to their own intentions. Yusuf It was only at this time that I realized that this army was completely out of my control at this time, and it was only inertially advancing towards the order I issued at the beginning. Although the countless orders issued by Yousuf were completely conveyed to the commanders at the division level , but it is too difficult for the commander to make the troops at the wing level obey orders. The city guards, who have been completely overwhelmed by the desire for survival and killing pokes, are almost advancing in the direction of the Imperial Guards' steady retreat. , except for one direction, which is the First Division of the Imperial Guards defending the central city, that is, the direction of the Imperial City. At this time, the First Division, which is even more orthodox than the First Division of the First Army, is still It has exerted its worth mentioning combat power, tenaciously resisting attacks from multiple directions, but it will not retreat an inch, because it cannot retreat, and the imperial city is behind it. Once these hungry wolf-like city guards spread into the imperial city , that would really lead to a terrible disaster.
Ba Yinzhuo couldn't believe his eyes, the city guards who had no discipline and formation rushed up in front of him, as if they thought they could squeeze out the thousands of cavalry behind him Go to the city, this is a godsend opportunity!
The rangers that swept in quickly made the city guards scurrying around aimlessly taste the taste of the iron cavalry. Just at this moment, jumping up with the splash of scarlet, at the same time, countless nomadic cavalry fell off their horses under the sharp spears of the soldiers of the city guards. This moment of contact almost aroused the frenzy of the Western Border Rangers. , The second wave of impact that followed didn't even take into account the life and death of the first wave of comrades-in-arms. Yinbo's knife wave left **** messes on the street almost immediately.
The chaotic soldiers who have not assembled into a formation are undoubtedly living targets for sword training in front of the organized rangers. The soldiers of the city guard who were dizzy with the fighting could no longer hear the orders of the officers. They could only rely on their individual strength to contend with the Xijiang Rangers in vain. This is obviously unfair, but it is fair Things almost never happen in real wars, and it is always a tactic of the winner to beat the weak with the strong, and this time is no exception, although the West Frontier Rangers also paid a considerable price for the restrictions on the streets.
The appearance of the rangers in the western border has once again cheered up the guards who were already at a disadvantage. Another 10,000 rangers launched a surprise attack along the direction of Dongcheng District in time. The rangers who were divided into ten attack groups Almost avoiding the small streets and alleys, and specializing in raids on the main roads, this kind of use of impact to massacre the city guards who have lost their organizational ability is indeed a perfect method. The corpses of the soldiers of the guards could hardly see anything else. The city guards had been stunned by the sudden cavalry attack. They didn't know how this cavalry appeared in the city, especially the opponent's skilled horse control skills even in the streets. You can still go on a rampage or even turn around on the same spot~IndoMTL.com~ The situation has been reversed little by little. Although the disadvantage has not been completely recovered, the current situation is not the same as the worst time, at least immediately Yuan Wang was able to breathe a sigh of relief, without worrying that the city guards would break through the line of defense soon.
Song Tianxiong found that his voice was already a little hoarse. Although he urgently requisitioned more than 300 civilian vehicles and dozens of transport vehicles prepared by the division for a distance of 150 miles, it was still difficult. They were only able to carry two regiment soldiers and go out first, discarding everything they should have brought, except for weapons and armor, everything was discarded under Song Tianxiong's order, and it was hard to catch up with such a wonderful show. If he really missed it, Song Tianxiong would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. He left the rear team to Jing Li, the director of logistics. Jinzhong City went straight to the west gate of the imperial capital.
Song Tianxiong's heart sank slightly due to the black smoke filling the entire imperial capital. He was different from Bayinzhuo in that he understood his lord's mind very well. The plants and trees have deep feelings, even beyond the feelings of their own hometown. If the crystallization of civilization with historical significance in the imperial capital is really damaged in this battle, then even if Yusuf died ten times insufficient to make up for its fault.
