The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 219: Northern Liang 4 Battle (1)
Liangzhou Hutou City has become the second Central Plains Diaoyutai.
only that time was when the Xujia iron cavalry, which was like a broken bamboo on the Central Plains, was blocked. This time, it was the Longaner Plain that was densely clustered by Beimang horseshoes outside the city.
Dong Zhuo, the Great King of the South Yard, personally took a standard crow bar to patrol a siege infantry ready to go in the rear. There was a pair of distinguished young men and women beside this fat man, one of them resembling a sick young man. There are many young men’s identities, and all of them are not simple. The spring bubo in the four great bubos in the Northern Mangs, the leader of the army giang in the southern dynasty, the divination operator of chess and sword music, and of course the most fundamental identity is Tuoba. The eldest son of the Bodhisattva, expands the charm of spirit. The woman whose title of Xia Nabo was officially taken away by Hulukou Pioneer General Chang Tan, is called Yelu Yuhu. This pair of men and women, almost outside the mouth of the gourd, successfully calculated Xu Fengnian, who had penetrated into the hinterland of the border between the two countries, but it was a pity that Yuan Zuo's novelist led a 10,000 snow dragon cavalry to the battlefield, making them and the Taiping lose their merits.
Dong Zhuo took a horse whip and pointed to Tiger Head City, and said: "For the Tiger Head City, which is known to be able to support ten years of war with armor and equipment to the outside world, in less than half a year, the winch logs have been exhausted, and the bricks and mud have been used up. Most of the iron owls, spears, and poles that were cut off by us are countless. There are only three left in the city's bed crossbows, which are considered complete. The damaged bows and crossbows have piled up into mountains. Of course, the small and medium-sized ones in the city There must be a lot of Ta-Bow Light Crossbow, and there are still hundreds of thousands of arrows in stock. But compared to Xiangfan City, which had no more than 100,000 soldiers but 300,000 people, Hutou City has one Fatal flaws, too few people. Crossbows are dead, broken, you can go to inventory to carry brand new. The northern Liang border army in Hutou City is not a god, and the arm strength is far weaker in the early days. If you two have the opportunity to watch the battle nearby, It should be possible to see that the arm used by most of the city archers to hold the bow is tied with a strong bandage. To put it ugly, as long as you give me three more months, I, Dong Zhuo, will stand a hundred steps outside the city. , It is estimated that few archers can kill me through armor."
exudes a faint medicinal taste of Tuoba Qiyun, solemn, noncommittal.
personally deprived his Majesty of Xia Nabo, so Yelu Yuhua ran to Hutou City out of anger to "relax my mind." She glanced playfully at this fat man who was far away in the royal court. The thirty-five-year-old Nanyuan King, holding a million soldiers, was equivalent to the combined strength of the old Liang Wang Xu Xiao and the two Liao Dynasty Gu Jiantang. . It was this guy who insisted on fighting Beiliang first, and made such a big move that caused great pressure on both His Majesty and Taipingling. As a result, except for Yang Yuanzan on the Eastern Front, which was barely a balance between merits and demerits, the other two fronts were eclipsed. Especially Fatty Dong himself was abruptly blocked by a tiger's head city outside Liangzhou Pass. Even Liu Hui, who lost a few thousand men and horses, has already been scolded as an old dog at the Xijing Temple. No one has the courage to impeach the coach Dong Zhuo. Yelu Yuhu is very curious that this privately called His Majesty the emperor’s sister. Fat man, how long can you carry it?
Dong Zhuo seemed to mention it casually for three months, and sneered at Yelu Yuhuamen, who was well-regulated in the temple, has he reduced to the point where she and Tuoba Qiyun help to spread the word to some people? Or is it said that His Majesty and Taiping Order, who had great expectations for Dong Zhuo, have also begun to be unable to restrain them?
Tuoba Qiyun finally said: "General Dong, I have been to the Northwest Camp in the Longyaner Plain."
Dong Zhuo gave a hum.
When I think of the so-called Northwest camp, Yelu Yuhua suddenly feels a little sick. What camp is the place where patients and corpses are piled up! The Southern Dynasties have accumulated strength for 20 years, and they are all focused on offensive, especially siege supplies. Otherwise, they would not be able to pull out nearly a thousand catapults, large and small, but Bei Mang has never been good at dealing with the wounded in battle. Don't pay attention to it. In the scorching sun, Yelu Yuhu, wearing a gorgeous golden armor, is already sweating. She has a natural yearning for war. She yearns for the pleasure of exchanging life on horseback, and yearning for the kind of arrow to be nailed into the enemy's head. With the penetrating feeling of the back, Yelu Yuhu was used to seeing dead people, but she was determined to be as firm as she arrived at the Northwest Camp, but she almost couldn't help vomiting. All the corpses dragged from the battlefield were thrown into the dug. In the big pit, the wounded soldiers might lie not far from the pit and mourn in pain. Many wounded soldiers who were bloodied by the guards of the city begged to give themselves a happy way to die.
At that time, Tuoba Qiyun was standing on the edge of a new pit where 700 or 800 corpses had been stacked, and asked for a pot from the soldiers who were in charge of splashing lime. Yelu Yuhu, who covered his mouth and nose with a thick cotton cloth, looked at the spring bowl and cast a handful of lime expressionlessly.
She suddenly discovered that she was even harder than a prairie man since she was a child. After seeing that scene, she was a little sad.
Tuoba Qiyun's thinking jumped very sharply, and he changed the subject slowly and said: "General Dong is anxious when he fights Beiliang, but he slows down when he fights Hutoucheng."
The resilience and fighting habits of the nomads themselves made Beimang's low demand for food and grass far beyond the imagination of the Central Plains cavalry. At least Beimang still has no shortage of food and grass. However, if the autumn season is high and the horse is fattening, Beimang can be more comfortable with the situation when it is in a stalemate. Tuoba Qiyun didn't want to talk too much as a hindrance. Besides, Dong Zhuo and Taipingling had their own reasons why Dong Zhuo and Taipingling went south in the beginning of spring. What Tuoba Qiyun really wanted to say was the second half of the sentence. If Dong Zhuo attacked the city recklessly from the beginning, and took the Tiger Head City with one effort, now the situation will not be so difficult to ride a tiger. This is not Tuoba Qiyun accusing Dong Zhuo of not making any effort to fight Tiger Head City. In fact, Dong Zhuo's deployment has no problem, but since Dong Zhuo is the king of the South Campus and the commander of the Million Army, he should come up with more justified results.
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "In the beginning, I suspected that in addition to the thousands of espionage horses in Hutou City, there was also a hidden iron horse. I even suspected that at least one of the two real heavy cavalry in Beiliang, with a total number of about nine thousand, would be hidden in Hutou City. Because I think that since Chu Lushan dares to put the Duhu Mansion behind Hutou City Huaiyang Pass is definitely going to have a head-to-head battle with me. In the south of Hutou City and north of Liuya Fuling, I will fight a battle that will appear between light and heavy cavalry."
Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Until that scheming ambush battle, I first used four thousand cavalry troops on the tooth **** as bait. As expected, Wei Liang, the lord of the Fuling army town, was greedy and was greeted by eight thousand cavalry troops. The chaotic formation, if it weren’t for the Northern Liang’s little captain begging the dragon to pass bad things, he was too brave, and he had opened a breakthrough for him to help the Fuling cavalry, otherwise the Northern Liang’s ambush should also enter the battlefield on time, and I The Dong’s Cavalry will also follow, and finally on that battlefield, I was able to seduce both the soldiers and horses of Fuling Liuya towns with the vitality of Huaiyang Pass, and even the Hutou City Cavalry. In this way, it will become a situation where the two cavalry forces are swapped. Even if Dong Zhuo loses even more, but as long as the mobility of the northern Liang Cavalry defense line south of Hutou City is destroyed, Hutou City will not be able to fight. , It’s not a problem."
Dong Zhuo laughed at himself: "Maybe many people in Beiliang Duhufu will scold the little captain who begs Fulongguan in their hearts. They used their strength in the wrong place, but they actually let Liangzhou get away with it. Tiger Head City is not terrible. What's terrible is the flexible cavalry behind it that do not seek to kill the enemy but only seek to contain it. Dong Zhuo, I am not sure if I think too much, or whether Chu Lushan is lucky, or is actually better than I thought. More."
Yelu Yuhua frowned and said: "I can't press on the whole line, and even attack the two towns of Fuling Liuya? Anyway, our military strength has an absolute advantage, no fight for nothing, no fight!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said nothing. Tuoba Qiyun shook his head and said: "It's not that you can't make a desperate bet, but it doesn't make much sense..."
Just when Tuoba Qiyun was about to explain the specific mystery to Yelu Yuhuan, Dong Zhuo rode his horse to a gray-headed convoy along the edge of the rear of the infantry phalanx. The man responsible for supervising the subordinates to move the battlefield The commander of the corpse saw the Queen of the Southern Court, quickly turned over and dismounted, and reported the situation to Dong Zhuo. It turned out that these corpses were all dragged out from the tunnel into the city. The Beimang Siege Catapult offensive was intermittent, but this "not on the stage" siege has never stopped, but it has never had a significant effect, except for the initial one. Five hundred soldiers and horses entered Tiger Head City, but they were quickly intercepted by the patrol soldiers, and the rest were killed in the narrow road in the tunnel, or they were easily blocked at the entrance of the cave. It is reported that Liu Jinu, the guardian of the city, had long been prepared. He dug more than ten deep holes as deep as three feet in advance in various important places in the city, allowing soldiers with sharp ears to stay in them. If there is movement around hundreds or even thousands of steps, the fighter can be caught for the first time, and then it is easy to dig a hole in the horizontal direction or fan the smoke and lime with a windmill.
The commander retired to the second line because he lost an arm in the Chongqian ant high school. After reporting the general situation and the number of deaths, the one-armed man had red eyes, bowed his head and whispered: "Big General, sixteen tunnels one after another, plus this group, our brothers who died underground are almost five thousand, is it worth it? It’s good to be able to die on the head of the tiger’s head city."
Dong Zhuo said calmly: "You go to Northwest Camp."
The one-armed commander raised his remaining arm and wiped his eyes. After getting on the horse, he gradually moved away with the convoy full of corpses.
Yelü Yuhua's heart burst into anger for no reason, took a deep breath, and asked the great king of the southern courtyard: "When Beiliang hit Xiangfan City, Qingzhou, he was an expert in digging tunnels. Since he can attack, Defensively, it is not a young man. What's more, the thousands of energized Northern Liang cavalry in the city have clearly been on the top of the city. What if hundreds of people enter the ground alive?"
Dong Zhuo smiled, as if deliberately didn’t want to mention the five thousand dead men who failed to build an inch, and said: “There was a cavalry unit in the city two days ago. Compared with the tired pawns, it is indeed a lot more than that. I originally had two commanders who had already led the attack on the top of the city. The difference between the two forces was no more than 400 steps, and they were almost able to gain a foothold at the top of the city."
Dong Zhuo’s thumb and forefinger pressed together, "It’s just a little bit worse."
Tuoba Qiyun helplessly said: "This little chance is that General Dong ordered each of our commanders to have nearly 400 casualties before they can retreat. This is a huge price in exchange for it."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Isn't it halfway through."
Yelu Yuhuan asked in an almost questioning tone: "Dare to ask the general, how many grassland children died under his own sword?"
Dong Zhuo thought about it seriously, and replied: "There are three thousand chiefs, and there are more centurions. Together with ordinary soldiers, if I remember correctly, there were 2,700 people as of yesterday."
Yelu Yuhuan said angrily: "Are you not afraid of causing mutiny?!"
Dong Zhuo asked back: "If you kill such a small amount of retreat, you will have to mutiny?"
Yelu Yuhuan sneered and said: "Indeed, the general holds a private army of Dong’s family with almost no damage in his possession of 100,000, and he is a meticulous and meticulous general with soldiers, and he can definitely kill the signs."
Tuoba Qiyun said, "Stop talking."
Yelu Yuhuan stopped talking. After seeing Chun Nabo's displeased expression, she finally stopped provoking the Nanyuan King who seemed to be unworthy of her name.
Liangqi bid farewell to Dong Zhuo and left.
Yelü Yuhuan turned his head to look at the sturdy figure who stopped the horse and said in a low voice: "This fat man, that's all about leading soldiers. Being an official is really capable, and I've been fighting for this purpose. , And don’t forget to follow someone’s wishes to beat those grasslands under Hutou City one by one. A commander has consumed the direct force brought from the tribe, and can be followed by a quick rotation. Where did the horse come from? Either it was drawn from the southern army town and mixed with sand, or the two remnants were simply mixed up. According to this method, can Da Xiti become Xiao Xiti?"
Yelu Yuhua's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It is the atmosphere brought by the remnants of the Central Plains in the Southern Dynasty. The Liyang Zhaoshi used the Guangling Road to regain the military power from the local kings and generals. We are not bad, Grassland All of them are injured here, even if they break through Beiliang and enter the Central Plains in the future, they will still have a few of their own people on hand!"
Tuoba Qiyun smiled, "You, there is too much complaint to prevent heartbreak."
Yelu Yuhuan glared at each other, "You can still laugh?! Do you think your Tuoba surname can be out of the picture?!"
Tuoba Qiyun shook his head, smiled and said nothing.
The fat man who looked at Tiger Head City alone in the guard of the crow bar, in his vision, the siege infantry surged like a continuous wave, and then the tide surged along the city wall and spread upward.
He beckoned to an accompanying young front-run military man, and said: "The order goes on, first, stop digging tunnels from today. Second, the infantry will increase their siege forces, and they can only withdraw more than half of the casualties during the day. In siege, battle damage is not used as a prerequisite for retreat. Each commander only needs to insist on attacking for one hour under Hutoucheng. Third, pass the news to Xijing, the entire Southern Dynasty, regardless of the surname is A, B, C, Ding, as long as the surname is above the genealogy. The family must take out all the wine in the cellar and use it to treat the wounds of the Eastern Front Army. Remember, it is all the family’s wine in the Southern Dynasty. The word B, and so on. Fourth, tonight I will summon all commanders and commanders on the Eastern Front who are not on the battlefield."
The military pilot left quickly to convey the military order.
Dong Zhuo said solemnly: "Yelü Chucai!"
A lieutenant who was temporarily acting as the leader of the crow column hurriedly approached. This time, this time this time this time this time this time this time this time this time this time this time this time this time this is a military commander who is a member of the Northern Mang Emperor’s account and the brother-in-law of the Nanyuan King’s brother-in-law. It means something big is about to happen. His Yeluchucai’s sister is Dong Zhuo’s eldest daughter-in-law, who is also the Yelu surname. Compared with Yelu Yuhu, they have a lot of gold branches and jade leaves. But the two brothers and sisters are far away from the Yeludong bed who heard that they ran to Liyang Zhongyuan to go idle. The chair has to be farther away. Yeluchu has never had that extravagant hope. Since childhood, he wanted to be a pure military commander on the battlefield. With Dong Zhuo, a brother-in-law who has a very good appetite, he has been in the Dong family army for several years. However, this time when he was conquering the north and the north, the brother-in-law who had always spoken well refused to agree to him being a pioneer, which made Yelu Chucai very injured. Even if the Dong family rushed to Liuzhou not long ago, there was nothing about him. Yelu Chucai had been resenting like a widow in this period of time.
Dong Zhuo glanced at the brother-in-law, smiled and said: "I'll give you a job, but the journey is a bit far away, can't you pick it up?"
Yelv Chucai asked cautiously: "Is there military merit?"
Dong Zhuo said: "Not necessarily."
Yelv Chucai resolutely said: "That's not going!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "You don't have to go, anyway, you will have the same opportunity to attack the city tomorrow. I will just change."
Yelv Chucai was confused, "Sitting on the city?"
Dong Zhuo nodded, "My Dong family's 12,000 foot soldiers will be handed over to you, and we will begin to attack Tiger Head City tomorrow."
Yelu Chucai opened her mouth wide in surprise. In terms of his figure, it was really a big mouth, and his sister's Huarongyue appearance was really different from that of his sister. It was really not like being born with the same father and mother. from. Yelu Chucai's eyes suddenly heated up, and he did not call Dong Zhuo his brother-in-law, but rather respectfully shouted the general, "The last general is a cavalry. Let me dismount and attack the city. One live!"
Dong Zhuo stared at this guy, calmly said: "Eighty thousand Dong's cavalry army will be handed over to you, and rush out of the gourd mouth as quickly as possible. Although I have arranged for people to stare there, I still don't worry about it. Also, before you leave, write a suicide note. If you die, I will have an explanation to your sister."
Yelv Chucai, who made Beimang under the name of cynicism, grinned, clenched his fist and thumped his chest hard, "General, if... the end will mean that if you don’t come back, you won’t have a chance to see the general. With my sister’s children, I will tell them later that their uncle’s only regret is that they couldn’t let them ride on their necks and play."
Dong Zhuo hesitated, "If you are the same as you at Hulukou, don't be aggressive. Since you like children, you can marry a daughter-in-law yourself."
Yelv Chucai nodded, and rode away.
Dong Zhuo is still motionless. No one can hear this fat man’s self-talk. He is repeating a number, "Thirty-eight, thirty-eight..."
Tiger Head City, the most majestic watch towers to the north have become the key targets of the Beimang Catapults, and the main building where Liu Jinu is located should be located further behind, caused by the catapults. The threat is not deadly enough, but the archers of the Northern Mangs who participated in the siege and approached the head of the city are all proud of hitting this building with an arrow. Although it is not counted as a battle exploit, they will all be taken after they withdraw from the battlefield. Treat as a hero.
Liu Jinu is standing next to the table with the map of Tiger Head City. The map has marked various details of the battlefield, such as the degree of damage to the city wall, the area where the crossbow has been lost, and the danger of rushing to fill it up several times. Battlements, wait. Liu Jinu stared at the northeastern area of the city defense map. After the crossbow was first destroyed here, in the past half a decade, Beimang has focused on increasing the density and attack density of the city while not giving up the siege of the city from the north. Thickness, a large number of siege equipment began to shift from the northwest to the northeast.
A city patrol captain strode onto the floor and laughed loudly: "General, these Beimang savages really don’t have a long memory. Today, more than 700'rats' died, a little and a half suffocated, etc. After the final general took the people down, he didn't take much effort to slaughter them. The old rules, the tunnel has also been filled tightly for us, and in the vicinity, there will be two cave masters and a standard cavalry staring at it day and night. "
Liu Jinu nodded, raised his head and asked: "Is all the mines hanging on the wall of the watchtower exhausted?"
Da Lei is a special soft curtain used in Central Plains to cope with siege. It is tightly woven from coarse hemp and coated with mud to prevent fire. It is very effective against slings and rockets. Although the walls of Tiger Head City were unusually strong, if there weren't a lot of thunder-relief to slow down the huge impact of flying rocks, Tiger Head City would not be so easy to sew and repair now.
A lieutenant said helplessly: "Yes, I didn't expect these barbarians to get so many catapults. Fortunately, the general had prepared for it, otherwise it would be really hanging. And our water bags are in a hurry, not just the gates. , Each section of the city wall also has a headache. The water source is no problem, that is, the water sacs made of cows, horses and livestock fur and visceral coats, some of them can’t keep up. The gang of barbarians desperately poured oil on the city, supplemented by fire and rain. Arrow, it’s crazy. Fortunately, our mud brooms for fire attacks can be reused."
Liu Jinu, who hadn't closed his eyes much for two days and two nights, picked up an arrow on the table and handed it to a lieutenant next to him, "Look carefully."
The arrow retrieved from the head of the city passed a circle, and Liu Jinu said: "There used to be this kind of arrow in Beimang attacking the city, but it was not scaled up. It was only in the past two days that it began to appear in large numbers. Yahalf is consistent with the current configuration of Northern Mang’s elite cavalry, pursuing penetrating my Northern Liang armor with elongated arrows, but the remaining half are mixed with old-style copper-cast arrows and iron-cast arrows from the Dafeng dynasty. They are all flat and flat. Quadrangular shape. Now it is different, more refined and subdivided, so even cone arrows and iron ridge arrows have appeared."
Liu Jinu put down the arrow, "The reason why I say this is because of the cohesion of the recent Beimang siege. I dare to assert that Beimang is changing his breath. Before launching the next wave of offensive, this will be an opportunity for us, of course, it may also be a trap. But no matter what, we should try it once. So these days I deliberately let the cavalry go up to the head of the city to remedy it and give the defender a step While the **** is breathing, he wants our cavalry to take the initiative to leave the city by surprise."
A school lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the city gate and scoring Beimang Barbarian on his head two days ago asked: "Do you need our city head pawns to cooperate and fight harder?"
Liu Jinu shook his head and said: "No, in case it is superfluous."
Liu Jinu slowly closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was very sleepy and had to rest for a while, or he was looking for a fighter in his head.
Liu Jinu suddenly opened his eyes, pressed his fists on the table, and stared at the two eager captains of the cavalry in the city. “Bei Mang is responsible for protecting the cavalry that echoes the two wings of the infantry. Laziness. Tonight! Just tonight, place two thousand cavalry troops behind the north gate, and rush out at will. The east and west gates each have a thousand cavalry troops, attacking the flanks. Remember! Only half an hour, I only give three cavalry at most Half an hour, no matter how many Beimang pawns are killed or wounded, they must return immediately, and never retreat in love and fighting. After half an hour, I will open the gate of Tiger Head City again."
Liu Jinu suddenly shouted at the two captains who were in charge of resigning, "Tell my brothers in advance that maybe Beimang will not even give us the chance to reopen the door of Tiger Head City!"
An already gray-haired colonel nodded and said: "Understood!"
Two cavalry captains of the same generation walked out of the house. The younger captain looked behind him, and then said to the old captain, "Old captain, what are you talking about? Do you really want to make it clear?" "
The old man stopped, holding on to the railing with both hands, silently.
The middle-aged captain understood him, so he stopped talking. He actually meant that.
The old man turned his head and smiled: "Xiao Song, although our ranks are the same, your boy has been a corporal leader under my hands for three years, not to mention that today is the captain, the general, and also my soldier. So this trip out of the city to kill the enemy, I am here, you stay in the city and continue to preside over the affairs of the cavalry."
The middle-aged captain turned around and left, "Then I will reason with General Liu."
The old man kicked this guy’s **** and chuckled softly: "Get back! Listen to me finish."
Waiting until Lieutenant Song turned around again, the old man pointed to the north and whispered: "I only have one son and one daughter. My son died in the hinterland of Beimang in the first year of Yonghui. That year, he was the same as you, the chief of my subordinates. His son-in-law also died outside Liangzhou Pass eight years ago. Fortunately, my grandchildren and granddaughters are there, and the Hejia incense remains unbroken. But it’s really uncomfortable for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person."
The old man smiled, "I know that you fought with my son-in-law back then, and complained that I finally chose him as his son-in-law, and didn't choose you. So these years in Tiger Head City, your kid didn’t show up with me, just If my temper was changed to thirty years ago, it would have made you full of teeth."
middle-aged captain rolled his eyes and muttered: "You can beat me."
The old man didn’t bother to care about anything with this kid, and said sincerely: “Not counting the years of the Southern and Northern Wars in the Central Plains, it’s been nearly 20 years since I have taken root in Beiliang. I have a home and I still have a life. In peaceful days, even if relatives die at home, the children can still wear filth and filial piety. Unlike the troubled times of the spring and autumn when I was young, it is more difficult to live than to die. My old man returns home occasionally, watching the children every day Practicing calligraphy, that posture, looks good, holding a brush is more adept than my grandfather with a spear, and listening to their reading outside the study room, now this Beiliang world is really good."
The old man patted Captain Song on the shoulder, "This kind of good world can last a few days or a few days. As for me, no matter if the city gate can be opened for the second time tonight, I don’t plan to return. You let I will get off my horse and go to the city to fight with Beimang Barbarian. If I can't kill a few people, I might as well kill more on horseback. Xiao Song, having said that, are you still rushing out of the city with Lao Biao Chief?"
The middle-aged captain clasped his fists slowly, but he couldn't say a lot of words.
The old man laughed and strode away.
As a result, the guy named Song gave a kick on his butt, and the latter ran downstairs like a gust of wind, only to say, "Old Biaochang, I didn’t take your daughter away back then, I swear that I must Kick you, don’t be angry!"
The old man patted the armor behind him casually, and said with a smile: "Little **** stuff! Fortunately, you were not chosen as the son-in-law."
Beimang attacked the city day and night, and huge bonfires were burning on the battlefield outside the city.
Both the inside and outside of Hutou City have become accustomed to it.
Positive son.
is regarded as "the beginning of Yang Sheng, the time of fire" in Taoist alchemy classics.
In the three squares that lead directly to the three gates from Tiger Head City, a cavalry began to go into battle, with a long spear hung from the saddle and a cold sword on the waist, which could not bear the crossbow.
The leading veteran in the north, stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear that he snatched from General Xichu, a member of the West Leibi, and smiled: "Old fellow, after congratulating my surname, I didn’t wrong you. Right?"
When the creak of the door slowly opened, the old man suddenly caught his horse and started charging.
In order to cooperate with the three cavalry troops, especially the North Cavalry, to go out of the city without premature-leaking signs, the arrow rain at the north gate city was aimed at the North Mangman near the gate of the city.
So when the unprepared Beimang infantry found that the gate of the city had risen on its own initiative, they were a little confused for a while, and even the scouts who were responsible for supervising the battle and traveling around the city for hundreds of steps later did not immediately return. God. When they saw a cavalry roaring out of the gate, the rangers were a little dumbfounded, but soon someone turned their heads to frantically whip their horses, from a gap specially left by the three infantry formations. Gallop away.
When they turned around to convey this emergency military information, the soldier of Beimang near the city gate was smashed to the head by the cavalry, or was hit by a direct shot and flew out.
The cavalry faces an infantry without formation and kills people, just like cutting wheat with a knife.
If there is a head-on confrontation between the fully armored cavalry, both sides can use the huge inertia of the horse to charge, which will cause huge damage to the spear itself and the arm of the pawn, but now?
The old lieutenant who is no longer familiar with the battle formation, pays attention to his breathing from the beginning, does not rush or slows down, and will never wait to kill dozens of enemies in one breath like Lengtouqing, and the old lieutenant is not too much. Pursuing the speed of the horse charge, the leaders of a tapered cavalry should do this, otherwise it will impair the attacking pace of the entire cavalry, and even cause the cavalry formation to split, even if it is a cavalry warfare. This situation is negligible, but the old man, as a real school lieutenant on the side of Liangzhou, has fought on horseback for most of his life, and he will naturally act like this.
In the right hand of the city gate, a thousand-man team, Northern Mangman, is attached to Pancheng. The thousand-man team in the rear has not yet made a rotation to attack the city. There are exactly two soldiers and horses of thousand commanders on the left hand being handed over.
The old captain said solemnly to the cavalry deputy: "Each leads a thousand cavalry bursts, you walk around the city!"
The two thousand cavalry troops quickly separated from side to side, like a stream of water sliding away on a rock.
The old man led a thousand horses straight to the full-strength Beimang Thousands.
Six or seven soldiers from Beimang wearing leather armor, seeing that they could not escape, gritted their teeth and swung their knives forward together.
The old captain rushed directly, the spear tip was slightly tilted down, and aimed at the neck of a soldier of Northern Mang. The huge penetrating force drove the soldier holding the knife high, directly hitting his feet away. ground. The old man unconsciously released the spear just before the spear was about to be nailed into the enemy's neck. The next moment, he quickly grasped the gun body again, and the position of his grip was only shifted by less than an inch, but he released the spear. This short distance of one inch was able to let the old man unload 50% or 60% of the resistance caused by the spear sprinting and killing.
The old man gently pulled the spear back, pulled the spear head from the corpse’s neck, and continued to charge forward.
This is the precious experience accumulated by the old man as a member of the Xu family's cavalry when he was young. No, after all, Beimang is also a cavalry, so he can't use this kind of "fashionable" trick. But it makes a lot of sense right now. This kind of small number of cavalrymen faced a large number of infantry.
The six or seven Beimang soldiers were rushed past and died instantly.
Some soldiers farther away on both sides, after this Qianrenqi quickly spread out the charging front, they couldn't escape.
The worst of was that after he escaped from Yiqi’s spear, he was killed on the spot with a war horse on the second Hutou City.
In the eyes of the thousands of soldiers not far away, I saw the cavalry that was tapered out of the city. After almost a few blinks of an eye, it had already circled the arc and stretched the front line to a row in an instant. More than a hundred rides.
Commander Beimang roared: "The front row erects a shield! The archer prepares!"
The old captain sneered, no spears to resist, no heavy armor, just two or three rows of scattered shields, want to block the charge of my Beiliang cavalry?
I, He Lianshan, is a veteran of Beiliang who rushed past even the spurge of Western Chu!
Haven't you been very hard at siege for the past six months?
Today, Lao Tzu’s Tiger Head City Cavalry will teach you how to be human!
When he rides this ride suddenly accelerates.
First of all, the elite Northern Liang cavalry in this platoon all used the corner of their eyes to speed up the charge one after another, and soon continued to maintain the perfect forward line that was almost completely straight.
The same goes for the cavalry behind this row.
a thousand rides, it’s all like this.
This is Beiliang Iron Horse!
The old captain pulled away an oncoming arrow at will, and didn't even care about the one that was shot at the shoulder armor.
The moment the ride touched, the sky and the earth seemed to stand still.
I saw a Northern Liang horse leaping high, above that line, above the head of Beimang's first row of soldiers who bowed their knees and raised their shields, it was magnificent!
When the horseshoe finally landed neatly, it was dead.
An astonishing Captain of Tiger Head City, his spear fiercely stabbed into the chest of a Beiman’s back row archer, dragging the blood-spraying corpse backwards all the way, and hitting it through the spear head in his chest. In the abdomen of the second Northern Mang soldier in the same row, the captain of the cavalry suddenly pushed the spear and then let go. When the horse rushed between the two corpses, the captain bent over and grasped the spear head tightly. , Pulled out from the corpse in one breath, like a war horse of the Northern Liang with an aura, suddenly exploded into an astonishing second charge, and slammed away the third Beimang barbarian who was trying to chop the owner's arm.
There are only a few shields, a certain number of archers, and most city climbing swordsmen, and there is no thickness of a thousand-person infantry phalanx, so that one thousand people and one thousand horses rushed past.
More than nine hundred riders in Tiger Head City did not stop.
doesn't care about the Beimang Thousands of people team that is full of casualties.
Continue to rush towards the second phalanx of the infantry at a distance of a thousand steps. Unlike the first one, the archer of the next phalanx has more opportunities to throw, and even the commander is urgent from the rear. Nearly a hundred shield soldiers were seconded, sparsely mixed with more than a dozen spears of little usefulness, and it was really difficult for this thousand commander who had to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily. But further afield, a nearby flanking cavalry began to rapidly increase reinforcement along the gap between the infantry.
The old lieutenant who had nailed the arrow in his shoulder began to slow down the horse intentionally or unintentionally, and breathed gently as the horse's back went up and down.
The old man's eyes crossed the second block and looked farther away. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed the movement of the left and right sides. The number of cavalry on the right wing of Beimang who was fighting the fire from the distant water was about 2,000.
the old captain shouted loudly: "Break through the front step with his left hand for a half, then just charge to the left and let the Beimang reinforcement cavalry eat ashes behind our ass!"
was less than five hundred steps apart, and the cavalry began to charge faster.
The striker began to shift to the left.
After the intensive rain of arrows, the seven hundred tiger head city cavalry rushed to the left with half their steps, and this time they slammed into the third large formation without reservation.
After , except for the fifty or sixty riders who still held a spear, the cavalry that seemed to have entered the land of no one began to change into the Northern Liangdao.
But this time abandoning the gun and changing the knife, the heavy damage to the Beimang step formation was even more exaggerated than the second formation before the Northern Liang Cavalry smashed away.
Most of those spears pierced Beimang's chest.
The Liangzhou Cavalry has an iron law. Before changing the sword, if you take off your pistol and spear, you can’t kill the enemy. After the war, they will all be counted without merit!
In the midnight fire, this large piece of shining sharp blade is particularly eye-catching!
Even the general Liu Jinu, who is on the tall building in Hutou City, can see clearly.
The cavalry including the school captain He Lianshan had no plans to return to Tiger Head City alive, and Liu Jinu was even more clear.
Liu Jinu and the school lieutenants who were discussing matters in the building are standing in front of the railing at this moment.
Liu Jinu didn't have any look of sorrow on his face, but he said silently in his heart: "Go, turn around, brothers, together, find the general under the ground for a drink."
Liu Jinu limped and turned and walked back into the building.
I remember that time when the blood-stained young feudal lord took more than 20 Wu family swordsmen and returned to Hutou City. The young man asked a question casually, asking him whether Liu Jinu had lost Beiliang, and Zhongyuan was there. Can't hold it anymore.
Liu Jinu told the young man that the answer was no. In just 20 years, the **** nature of the Central Plains was still there. When it comes to the day when there is no way to retreat, many people will find that they can never hesitate and die without hesitation. Just like our Beiliang.
Finally, Liu Jinu smiled and added a sentence. It’s just that the Central Plains outside Beiliang can not be afraid of death. But if you want to kill him hundreds of thousands or even a million barbarians like this, please don’t Thought about it.
At that time, Liu Jinu saw the young man trying to laugh but not smiling.
Liu Jinu suddenly turned around and ran out of the building.
A tall but attentive school lieutenant hugged the defender of Tiger Head City without saying anything, and said angrily: "General, we have issued a military order with the prince, and Tiger Head City has to defend at least three times. Months! It’s the least! Why, general, you have to pick your son?! It’s not easy to die? Don’t say that you are like Captain He to go out of the city to kill the enemy, general you just need to stop at the head of the city, don’t take an hour, keep it Come back sideways!"
Liu Jinu said in a bad mood: "I want to go to sleep!"
Captain Gao was puzzled: "Really?"
Several lieutenants who are obviously worried about Liu Jinu said in unison: "I will send the general!"
Liu Jinu thought for a while, and broke free of the captain's hands, "Forget it, the sleepiness is gone. Come, let's quickly discuss how to get the other cavalry back. Watch the movement outside the city. , The Northern Mang Cavalry began to try to start the net, faster than we had imagined, we must figure out a way within a quarter of an hour. It really can’t, they should be sent back to the city immediately, and they can’t wait for the first half of the time. Time..."
The tall captain couldn't help but whispered something fucking.
Liu Jinu turned his head but did not stop, "Say it again?!"
Captain Gao shut up immediately.
Liu Jinu stared and said: "Like a bear!"
Colonel Gao turned his head and curled his lips and said: "Are you going to leave the bears alone? Anyway, I was the general you brought out, bears not bears..."
Liu Jinu suddenly stopped, and said in a deep voice: "No! Bring the entire Liangmang border map here!"
The local map was spread out on the table~IndoMTL.com~Liu Jinu was lost in thought, and everyone in the building did not dare to breathe.
Liu Jinu’s sight wandered quickly across the border of the three states, and finally squinted his eyes again at Hutou City, where he slowly said, “Now Beimang’s real goal is not to eat the Dragon Elephant Army in Liuzhou. It is not Youzhou that broke through Xiaguang City, nor is it our Tiger Head City."
Everyone is baffled.
Could it be Lingzhou?
But this is too ridiculous.
Liu Jinu stretched out his finger to reach a military town, "It is Huaiyang Pass after Tiger Head City! To be precise, it is to protect the entire Liangzhou behind Chu Lu Mountain!"
Someone asked: "But as long as Tiger Head City is still there, Huaiyang Pass is originally a dangerous pass that can be attacked and defended. On the bright side, there are those few of my best cavalry in Northern Liang who can support at any time, even though we Just received a secret report, these cavalry are now...but the Beimang barbarian must not know where the 20,000 people are going. Under this premise, what will Beimang use to fight Huaiyangguan?
Someone said: “It doesn’t matter if Liuzhou is lost or not. As long as the Dragon Elephant Army can save half of its strength, plus the encirclement that Youzhou Gourd Mouth can definitely form, then we can hold Tiger Head City for three months. Even the counterattack of Beimanggu and Longyao two states is possible."
Liu Jinu was silent.
