"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Suddenly the city was like a bolt from the blue sky. Starting from the gate of the city, many places on the avenue exploded, and fire and smoke burst into it!
The rubble and soil were scattered and scattered, injuring a small number of Khitan cavalry nearby. A heat wave quickly spread to both sides, and the hot wind mixed with dense smoke blowing away. Suddenly everyone was shocked, and the horse ran in panic. The gunpowder was buried too shallow in a hurry, and the power of the explosion was very limited, but the gun smoke was terrible. With the heat wave, it flooded all the gaps in the streets.
The entire avenue near the city gate seemed to have fallen into a heavy fog, and the clouds in the sky fell down. The people in the gunpowder can't discern things.
At this moment, the sound of drums on both sides suddenly heard loudly, followed by heavy and neat footsteps, and there seemed to be countless infantry teams running up. There was also a sound of killing everywhere, bowstrings "cracked", arrows flew in the thick smoke, and there was a scream.
After the explosion sounded, there was an instant chaos in the city!
……
Brother Xi, a general of Liao State who just entered the south gate of Zhuozhou, near the city gate, heard footsteps and saw heavy smoke everywhere; he shouted at the general to go north, and did not want to go with Infantry fighting.
At this moment, I heard someone yelling in Khitan: "It's not good, we were in an ambush, the king told us to run quickly! It's not good..."
There are people everywhere ordering this, and the smoke is soaring and it is hard to see who is calling. The group of people shouted and ran on horseback, and the shouts whizzed past. The surrounding Liao soldiers were in a dilemma, and were enveloped by gunpowder smoke, and soon they were in a mess.
"Kill! Kill..." The sound of killing sounded all around, the clanging metal crashing and the screaming and screaming of people were mixed together, and the surrounding soldiers were fighting.
Brother Xi has been wandering around the city for less than two sticks of incense, and most of the men who followed him have dispersed, not knowing where they rushed. At this time, the gunpowder was slightly spread by the wind, and he led his army to the gate of the city.
As soon as I approached the South Gate, I suddenly saw a large phalanx of Zhou army infantry standing there, motionless.
Brother Xi wants to order the heavy rider to rush out of the city, but where is there any heavy rider at this time? The horsemen and soldiers of all ministries were mixed together, and the soldiers couldn't find their leader, so they had to follow the big group of people and horses of Xi Ge.
"Kill!" Brother Xi shouted.
The Liaoqi in front ignored the formation and rode up one after another. The front bows and arrows, ready to rush in and shoot.
A member of the general Zhou Jun pulled out his saber with a "swish", raised it, and shouted, "Let's shoot an arrow!" The Zhou Jun light soldiers in the front row raised the sword together. Bow and arrow, "Papa Papa..." A burst of arrows fired horizontally at a distance of twenty steps, and heavy arrows shot flat at close range and had strong armor-piercing ability. Suddenly the horsemen and soldiers of the Liao Army turned on their backs and fell like a storm.
"Arrow!" The general of that week pointed his sword forward again. The front row squatted down, and there was another volley in the back row.
After two rounds, the Liao army has turned the horse's head and stopped rushing forward. At this time, the bowstrings in the Zhou army camp sounded more densely, "cracking" rang, I saw the countless black spots flying into the air, gliding in the air, and suddenly accelerated and fell to the ground diagonally, as if descending. There was a heavy rain. Some arrows fell off the roof of the house tiles, "ding and dangling" breaking the roof, like hail.
The Liao soldiers waved their swords and fluttered on their heads, as if they were driving away flies, and from time to time people screamed and fell. Amid the spread of gunpowder, the arrows are like locusts. This is really the most unbearable place.
Suddenly the gong at the gate of the city rang with a "bang", "Boom, boom..." The snare drum beat quickly. Suddenly, the tiger's flag in front of the army fell forward and lay flat on the flanks. "Kill!" The soldiers shouted, and the infantry picked up their swords and spears and slowly moved towards the forward army.
When Brother Xi saw this, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and walked north again. The other cavalry have lost their upper and lower orders, and follow wherever there are more cavalry.
This group of Liao army is stationed in Youzhou area all year round, and they also know the city where Han children live, so they rushed to the east to find another city gate. They rode horses instead of alleys, only the streets to facilitate maneuvering; the streets on the east and south sides of the city were full of Liao cavalry.
Brother Xi and other large groups of people rushed to the east side of the street, only to see the insurgency.
A Khitan general in the front rushed forward without saying a word, and the entourage behind also rushed up with his horse. Upon seeing the messy Zhou Jun steppers who were out of line, they turned around and ran away.
"Yawei..." The Khitan general in front screamed strangely, holding a iron bone flower to catch up with a pawn, and smashed it skillfully, with a loud bang, knocking on the helmet of the **** of that week , That step pounced.
The general killed one person, and the mount was a little slow; the Liao Qi next to him had passed over, holding a spear straight at the back of a running Sergeant Zhou. The stepper looked back while running, but seeing that Liao Qi was getting closer, he raised his head and yelled and squeezed out and galloped. But after a while, Liaoqi had already caught up, raised his spear and stabbed it sideways, and plunged it deeply into the soldier's back.
There were a few Zhou sergeants around. Seeing this, they wanted to get around and pull Na Liao to ride off the horse, but immediately heard the "pap pap" chord, and the following Liao army cavalry shot and drew their swords. Ran rushing up, condescending and hacking frantically.
Zhou Jun's pawns dispersed in a rush, and fled into the alley. Two people banged open a door and fled into the house. The cavalry of the Liao army wrapped pine branches in tarpaulin, lit the fire, and threw a few torches on the roof.
The crowd rushed all the way and ran across two wider streets, only to see a canal in front of them. The street stretched over and was a stone arch bridge over the canal. It is a pity that at least a hundred people formed a square formation in front of the stone arch bridge, and the cherry spears were densely packed together like a forest.
Liao Qi rushed forward and shot arrows immediately, and the Zhou army also used crossbows to fight back. Brother Xi has already rode his horse to the front, recalling the left and right and shouting: "Get out of the crowd!"
The general asked for a battle, and soon led his soldiers up, braving arrows to rush to the front. The light soldiers of the Zhou army shooting arrows in the front fled to both sides, and the team behind them immediately took up their long spears and formed a dense line to wait.
The front Liaoqi rushed to the front, hurriedly strangled the horse, "his" the horse called, and his front hoofs were raised high and fell heavily. Immediately a few long spears stabbed over and inserted them into the horse's chest. The horse was sore and turned around and ran wildly. The horse riding skills were quite good, and it didn't fall down on the horse's back following the strength of the horse's bumps. But the horse "bumped" on the front hoof before running a few steps and knelt on the ground. The Liao cavalry rolled off the horse, and when they were in front of the Zhou army, they immediately saw the blood mist rising, screaming and screaming.
Zhong Liao did not dare to ride in front of the formation, and shot with a bow and arrow. Arrows flew randomly.
At this moment, another group of Liao army cavalry rushed from the side street, rushing to the side of the Zhou army camp. There was a ding jingle, the Zhou army's hundred people formation was torn apart, and the front Liao Qi immediately charged and attacked. The Shaoqin Zhou army collapsed, and the strength was reversed immediately. The steppers fled to the bridge one after another, and many people were squeezed into the canal.
The rebel soldiers in the ditch were all filthy and walked to the opposite side. The water is not deep, the deepest part is chest, but it is very dirty. It seems to be a flood drain, which usually loses a lot of dirt in it, and only waits for heavy rain to wash away from the city.
The Liao army chased to the arch bridge, but saw more Zhou army infantry phalanx on the other side waiting in full formation, layered on top of each other, deep in depth. This battle simply made people completely devoid of the desire to attack.
Brother Xi followed the army to the bridge and took a look at the situation on the other side. Looking at the canal in front of me, the water is not deep, but the trench is very deep. After the cavalry went down, it might be difficult to get up... Fortunately, it was not wide.
Brother Xi immediately shouted: "Xie Lie! Leave here and see where there are bridges. Otherwise, demolish the house and choose another place to build a bridge!"
……
The Liao army on all sides is fighting each other, and it is almost impossible to tell who is who. There seemed to be Liao Qi everywhere and Zhou Jun everywhere, and there was no way to contact them.
The people sent out were basically unable to find the right place and were ambushed along the way. There is also that Han'er of Youzhou who can speak Khitan, and spread false news around the chaos... Some generals of the Liao army want to obey the order of the Shangfeng army and run in the direction of the order, but usually they will collide with their own people. The army turned around.
There is still a large number of Liao cavalry surging on the north-south arterial road; but the large group of infantrymen of the Zhou army in the direction of the south gate are advancing along the way. The south gate has a large number of Zhou army, with 500 men as a large formation, one layer after another. Pushing forward, the sound of footsteps and drums are thrilling!
Liao Qi was attacked by the enemy, and a large group of troops rushed to the north, and they had already attacked outside the fence of the Zhou army camp. I saw that there were many flags and tents in the army, but few people were seen outside, and they had already withdrawn.
At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" of firecrackers and the sound of drums. Then the sound of horseshoes in front rang into pieces.
That week, after the army, horses and soldiers were defeated and retreated to the north of the city, they gathered a part of them, and they actually counterattacked.
The leading young general was Dong Zunxun. He was wearing heavy double armor and wrapped like iron rice dumplings, seated on a pure-blooded tall giant horse, and rushed forward. Dong Zunxun was in heavy armor, but his movements were still very flexible. He opened his bow and shot. With two sounds of "pop...pop", the two Liaoqi who were more than 20 paces away fell from their horses one after another.
The two armies were already approaching, but the Liao army was shot but didn't fight back with bows and arrows, but immediately picked up the long and short weapons and beat the horse to speed up, seizing the opportunity to gain momentum.
Sure enough, Zhou Jun Ma Bing rushed forward, and Dong Zunxun directly threw away the expensive carved bow in his hand and drew the knife from his back. Immediately, the long knife can only be easily pulled out from the back, and with a "clang", the weapon hit sparks and splashed.
The soldiers around him also rushed up, and the two sides alternated like gallops. A Zhou army knight pierced the Khitan cavalry's abdomen with a cherry spear, and immediately gave up the cherry spear, but another iron-boned flower whizzed in front of him. He had no time to dodge, hitting his face, and suddenly screamed "ah". Screamed. The iron lump like a large garlic head hit the nose and the blood immediately splashed.
Slices of horse soldiers on the street slashed frantically for a time, and their iron hoof trampled on the flesh and blood on the ground like mud. rg
