I’m The King Chapter 650: : Blizzard and Snowstorm (2)
The sky gradually became brighter, and the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army on the fortress looked at the overwhelming Donghu cavalry rolling over from a distance, and they were all shocked. What the soldiers of the Eastern Zheng Army above the fortress saw was the ground-to-ground cavalry roaring to cut through the snowstorm, and at a glance, they couldn't see where their rear team was.
"I **** his grandma, this battle is a bit amazing!" The beard next to Song Hongxin murmured, as a former Central Plains infantry, he rarely had the opportunity to see so many brave cavalry in his life Gathered together, even under Helin City, they had several **** battles with Donghu cavalry, but what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and they could only see themselves facing those cavalry forever, but now, they stand From the heights of the fortress, you can clearly see the military appearance of the entire Donghu cavalry.
Song Hongxin clearly heard the sound of the soldiers gulping their saliva in unison on the wall of the village. When the matter came to an end, everyone still felt nervous in unison.
"Brothers, don't hide behind the wall, show your head, and enjoy the Donghu barbarian show us some horse skills. They are very good at this job, and they are easy to see." Song Hongxin laughed and waved his hands non-stop, "Come on, let's see if Donghu's horse can climb the wall."
With a bang, the soldiers on the wall of the village all laughed. Song Hongxin's humorous words effectively relieved the tension of the soldiers. Everyone stood up straight easily, exposing most of their bodies to the wall. Outside the wall, at this distance, it is difficult for the cavalry bows used by the Donghu cavalry to hit the wall of the village.
On the watchtower, Xiao Haizi leaned out half of his body, and waved his hands at the Donghu cavalry in the distance, "Hey, Donghu barbarian. Play a trick for me."
"Play one, play one!" Under the watchtower and above the city wall, all the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army shouted. The tension of facing a strong enemy suddenly dissipated in bursts of laughter.
In the distance, Mo Yandu, the forward general of the Donghu Hetao camp, looked at the fortress in front of him, and frowned deeply. He had seen the appearance of these fortresses on the blueprints. , Spy on the information going back. But now it seems that those drawings are useless at all, because the real thing in front of me is very different from the appearance on the drawings. The Central Plains people's understanding of the city is indeed not comparable to that of warriors who are used to confronting on horseback. They have almost rebuilt an ice city in the shortest time by relying on ice and snow.
The torches on the wall of the village are still burning, and the light of the fire is reflected on the smooth and reflective wall, shining brightly. It looks really beautiful, but for the besiegers, it is a fatal temptation.
Not only the wall that suddenly became taller, but also dozens of steps away from the city wall. However, those strange-shaped snow mounds that extend to nearly a hundred steps away are believed to be used by the enemy to block the cavalry.
Mo Yandu shook his head lightly, taking advantage of the frozen Liaohe River this winter, he could ride lightly across the natural moat. But the opponent also made full use of the snow and ice in Hetao to strengthen their own city walls, which made the Donghu warriors have to shed more blood before they could pull out these fortresses one by one.
With tens of thousands of cavalry crossing the river, it is impossible to leave these nails on the east bank. This attack in the sky full of ice and snow is a huge pressure on Donghu's logistics. Youzhengdong Army still maintains a force on the east bank, even if the opponents are basically infantry, for Donghu army, it is also dancing on the cliff, if one is not good, it will fall to pieces.
The best way, of course, is to completely pull out these nails, and firmly control the East Bank in your own hands.
Seeing the soldiers of Zhengdong Army jumping and cheering on the wall of the village, Mo Yandu was a little strange, and asked the left and right, "What are they doing, they look very happy?"
They shook their heads from left to right. Among them, none of them understood the language of the Central Plains, and could not understand the provocations of the soldiers of the Eastern Army in the fort. But based on their intuition, everyone could feel that it must be something bad.
"General Mo Yandu, do you want to try to attack first?" Gu Jili from Tiele's Department asked.
"It's not easy to fight. The ladders we made before are all too short. The soldiers can't climb up. They need to settle down first and let the logistics and supplies lengthen the ladders before coming back. There are only a hundred soldiers stationed around this stockade. Many people, after we have completed the ladder, we will besiege him from all directions, and even one mouthful of spit will drown him."
"Yes!" Gu Jili nodded.
In the reform of the Donghu military system, all the ministries used to be all soldiers, grazing in leisure time and fighting in wartime. Thorpe established the country, became king, and set up a standing army. In the three armies, these troops have become professional soldiers, and they are no longer engaged in production in peacetime. During the war, King Donghu dispatched troops from the left, middle and right armies or dispatched the whole branch to fight, and the generals who commanded the troops were appointed temporarily. Usually, all the military power of the left, center, and right armies was in the hands of Donghu King.
After the reform of the military system, the clan chiefs of Donghu were deprived of their military power. Since then, they can only be nobles with high status in Donghu, but they no longer have the kind of people who hold actual power in the past. political influence began to gradually decline. And the power to control the entire Donghu is being transferred to the bureaucratic group with Donghu King as the core.
Like the Hetao Camp this time, Yan Qi was the commander in chief, but there were all three armies from the left, the middle and the right under his command. They come from various tribes, like Moyandu, who is from the Huihe tribe, and Gujili, who comes from Tiele.
On the wall of the village, seeing the Donghu cavalry start to retreat, the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army cheered loudly. I don't know who beat the war drum. During the sound of the war drum, Hu Zi climbed up the ice wall and stood with his legs spread apart. On the wall, he even untied his trouser belt, took out the huge thing under his crotch, and started urinating towards the city.
Song Hongxin tilted his head, looked at the thing under Huzi's crotch, and thoughtfully said: "It turns out that the shape Xiaohaizi built at the base of the city was built according to your size."
Huzi laughed triumphantly, "Xiao Haizi is ashamed to set out, so naturally he can only follow mine."
On the watchtower, Xiao Haizi was furious, jumped up and said, "Nonsense, nonsense, I obviously molded it according to my own size."
"Really, then take out Bibi!" Hu Zi raised his head, held the guy provocatively, and shook it at Xiao Haizi.
Xiao Haizi's face was flushed, he touched the waistband of his trousers with his hands, but finally he still didn't untie it, but he shrank back into the watchtower with a squeak, and bursts of laughter erupted from below.
"Huzi, you're a little hot, your urine is so yellow!" Song Hongxin held back his laugh, and said to Huzi solemnly.
"Can't the fire be too big?" Hu Zi curled his lips disapprovingly, "But after we start fighting with them, the fire will naturally go down."
Before Song Hongxin had time to answer, he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes. When he turned his head, he couldn't help being startled. Come, a group of cavalry, about several hundred people, is rushing towards their fortress.
"Damn it!" Song Hongxin couldn't help being startled, "I want to engage in a sneak attack! Brothers, prepare to fight!"
Actually, Donghu soldiers didn't come to sneak attack, they were outraged. They didn't understand the provocations made by the soldiers of the Eastern Army on the wall, and they didn't think it was a big deal, but in the end, Huzi climbed up to the top of the wall, took out the thing, shook it, and even urinated downwards. , accompanied by the laughter of the soldiers on the city, I can't understand what the soldiers of Zhengdong Army are saying, but can't you see what they are doing? Easterners were outraged.
Mo Yandu was also angry. As a general, an experienced general would not be blinded by this and make some wrong decisions. , if you don’t fight back, it will not only damage your own morale, but also make the subordinates and soldiers think you are weak. Some people questioned, if you can’t convince your generals and make your soldiers use their lives, how will you fight this battle in the future? How can you lead your troops?
Mo Yandu is very clear that even if he is not ready, even if he has to pay the price of his life, he must make a strong response at this moment. Maybe today he will leave a lot of blood under the wall of this ice and snow village , but these blood will also become a powerful booster when he launches another attack.
More than a hundred brave riders with excellent riding skills jumped into the obstacles of all kinds of strange shapes. Relying on their superb riding skills, their speed did not decrease much, and they rode their horses straight to the fortress.
Song Hongxin was taken aback at first, but then saw only a hundred horsemen rushing in, and immediately understood what the opponent's coach meant, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You want to give me a gift, of course I To be disrespectful, I didn't intend to go back alive from here, the purpose of being nailed here is to kill as many opponents as possible.
"Let them go under the city wall before you start. Don't move the crossbow on the bed. Use your arms to stretch the crossbow. Prepare four hundred crossbows. Every fifty arrows, shoot four rounds in a row. We will leave them all behind the city. .” Song Hongxin said coldly.
More than a hundred cavalrymen were not blocked by countless obstacles, but when they rushed out a few steps in the first wave, and when the second wave rushed out, the first round of crossbow arrows shot down head-on.
With the powerful force of the crossbow, within a hundred steps, there is no room for dodge. It is almost as soon as the sound of the arrow whistles, the crossbow has already arrived in front of the Donghu cavalry. (To be continued~IndoMTL. com~ go out, just go to the mobile version
