Turbulent Times Chapter 1622: 10,000 Wagang camps were destroyed

After the cavalry and infantry entered the field one after another and lost nearly 20,000 people, Duan Zhixuan no longer sent his own army up, but looked at Zhu Can on the other side.

After witnessing the heavy loss of the Li family army just now, and realizing the powerful combat power of the Far East Army, neither Zhu Can nor his soldiers actually wanted to play at this time.

But Zhu Can knew that precisely because of the strength of the Wagang Camp, this opportunity to besiege and kill the Wagang Camp is so rare.

So, Zhu Can knew that today he had to lead the army to fight with all his might.

Zhu Can's method was very ruthless. He directly ordered more than 60,000 people to immediately encircle the Wagang camp's less than 20,000 infantry phalanx, and then launched attacks from all directions at the same time.

Zhu Can's style of play is very brutal, not only against the Wagang camp, but also against himself.

Because this style of play can greatly improve the death and injury efficiency of the Wagang Camp, but it will also cause heavy casualties to Zhu's army in a short period of time.

I have to say that Zhu Can is very decisive, courageous and willing.

Li Shimin, who witnessed Zhu Can's fighting style on the hilltop in the distance, nodded slightly to express his approval of this fighting style, but he looked in the direction where Zhu Can was, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Li Shimin knew very well that Zhu Can was A very ambitious and rebellious person by nature, coupled with this notorious ogre king will tarnish Li Shimin's reputation.

So, Li Shimin had already thought about it, after Zhu Can took refuge in their Li family afterwards, he must not be allowed to live.

But Li Shimin didn't have time to think about this matter at this time, even half of his mind was not on the battle in front of him, but was concerned about his other foreshadowing and preparation.

"Calculating the time, Qushi City should be successful soon. There are only 10,000 people attacking the Wagang Battalion, and Xie Yingdeng's ability is mainly in the aspect of inquiring and sorting out the military situation. Compared with Xu Shiji and Cheng Bite the gold, the command of the army is a lot worse, unlike the 20,000 tough bones in front of you, it should be very smooth."

………

………

At dawn in the morning, the 10,000 infantry led by Xie Yingdeng started a new round of siege after cooking and eating.

The enemy army in Qushi City has become more and more tired. Although the morale has always been good, the trend of defeat has appeared.

Although Xie Yingdeng is not as good as Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji in commanding troops, his eyesight is very accurate. He can see from various signs that if there is no accident, Qushi City can be breached before noon today.

Moreover, the soldiers below could also feel that Qushi City could be breached in half a day at most, because the city walls were blown down a lot by them.

Just after a quarter of the hour, Xie Yingdeng gave an order that, in addition to the reserved 2,000 reserve personnel, the infantry of the Wagang Battalion began to attack the city.

Because the victory is in sight, the morale of the soldiers of the Wagang Camp is high, and the offensive is much more intense than the previous few times. The grenades and trebuchets also continued to be thrown or were still on the city wall, and soon the soldiers of the Wagang Camp successfully boarded the city wall.

Within less than an hour of fighting on the city wall, the Zhu family army who defended the city was gradually unable to resist. There were several dangerous situations on the south wall. In several places on the city wall, there were more than 300 soldiers in the Wagang camp. Soldiers from the Powagang camp climbed up the city wall to support them, and they were able to defeat Zhu's army.

Xie Yingdeng watched the attack and defense on the top of the city from a distance, and the premonition in his heart became stronger, and finally he simply drove away the soldiers who were beating the drums, and took the drumsticks to beat the drums himself to cheer.

Soldiers

Seeing the lord general beating the drums himself, his morale was getting higher and higher. Not only were he desperately climbing towards the top of the city, but also the siege engine was desperate, braving the arrows and boiling oil above his head, and slammed into the south city again and again. The gate, the city gate gradually began to shake, and the eyes of all the soldiers were lit up.

Victory seems to be within reach.

The chain reaction of one side's defeat on the battlefield is terrifying. A single defeat can affect the entire battle situation. Even if it is a victory that is about to be achieved, it will eventually be lost.

With a "boom", before the Zhu family's defenders were completely driven out from the top of the city, the gate to the south was blasted open by the Wagang Camp with a few packs of explosives.

All the soldiers of the Wagang camp immediately burst into cheers. Without Xie Yingdeng's order, all the soldiers who had not climbed the city wall rushed to the south gate.

However, at the moment when the city gate was blasted open, a sudden change occurred.

First of all, the sound of galloping horses came out along the south gate.

Then, the Wagang Battalion infantry rushing to the front saw as far as they could see in the city, one main road and three side roads, all filled with black cavalry, with no end in sight, like four torrents heading south The city gate rushed over.

These cavalry appeared too suddenly and abruptly, without any warning in advance. Although the infantry of the Far Eastern Army is powerful, there is even a saying in the world that the infantry of the Far Eastern Army is the nemesis of the cavalry, but the premise is that the infantry of the Far Eastern Army must be deployed. Otherwise, it is just better than other infantry.

Now the infantry of the Wagang Battalion are all rushing to the south gate, because the distance is different, and they are to grab the gate to prevent the gate from being blocked by the enemy again, and the speed is different, which leads to Wagang The battalion of thousands of infantry rushing towards the city gate stretched very long, and there was no time to set up a battle formation.

A group of Wagang Battalion infantry who had just rushed into the city were directly knocked away by the torrent of four cavalry. The Wagang Battalion infantry behind were horrified. Some people are the most sensible, knowing that it is too late to form an formation or dodge, and with a determined look on their faces, they pounce on the oncoming cavalry with their knives and guns in their hands, delusional to be able to put a back on their backs before they die.

But no matter how they choose between life and death, they will die in the end.

The next moment, at a distance of more than 100 meters from the inside to the outside of the south gate, more than a thousand Wagang Battalion infantry were directly pierced through, and the cavalry rushed out from the gate like a train at high speed , All the Wagang Battalion infantry along the way were crushed and knocked into the air.

The infantry of the Wagang Battalion, who were rushing towards the south gate, suddenly rushed from the city head-on, with murderous aura, high spirits, and sufficient physical strength. Senseless.

And caught off guard, after the cavalry of about 20,000 rushed out of the city, they divided into four groups and rushed towards the infantry of the Wagang Camp at the fastest speed. The Wagang camp soldiers who had completely set up the infantry battle formation were rushed into chaos, and then their four cavalry sprinted back and forth for several rounds, directly splitting the thousands of infantry soldiers in the Wagang camp into more than a dozen parts. Infantry formation.

No matter how loudly Xie Yingdeng roared, or how desperately the generals below gathered their personnel, it was already too late. The cavalry was split, and only the slaughter was left, not to mention that the 20,000 cavalry who suddenly appeared were clearly elite.

So, soon, the infantry formation of Wagang Battalion was completely overwhelmed.

More than 2,000 Wagang camps have already attacked the top of the city

Frightened and angry, the infantry naturally stopped attacking the city, and then quickly retreated, but the order in which they descended from the city was also different, and the positions were different, and the enemy cavalry below the city would not gather them together at all. Opportunities, as many down as they can be rushed.

Finally, hundreds of people huddled into a defensive formation, trying to resist the charge of the cavalry in vain, but because the number was too small, they only killed some more enemy cavalry, and they would still be defeated in the end.

In addition, in order to attack the city these days, Xie Yingdeng and his side have almost run out of grenades and explosives. Occasionally, soldiers will detonate their explosives or grenades before they die, causing some casualties to the enemy cavalry, but because The disparity in troop strength is too great to change the situation of the battle at all.

At the head of Qushi City, the defenders of the Zhu family cheered loudly. They knew that there were 20,000 fine cavalry hidden in the city, so their morale was actually maintained very well these days, but the combat power of the Far East Army was too strong. Strong, if there were no 20,000 cavalry just now, they would have already broken through the city.

However, unlike the Zhu family army guarding the city, the 20,000 cavalrymen who suddenly appeared carried the flag with the character 'Li', which was obviously another force hidden by Li Shimin.

Rao Xie Yingdeng, who had been in battle for a long time, was also shocked by this sudden change. He stared blankly at the cavalry ahead who kept charging towards his soldiers, and his face became extremely pale.

At the last moment, he looked like he was about to destroy the city, and he made a great contribution. He didn't want his men and horses to suffer heavy losses the next moment. Kill, seeing that more than half of the 10,000 people have died.

The infantry who had rushed out were finished, but Xie Yingdeng, who regained his senses, immediately ordered the 2,000 reserve troops around him who had not had time to send out to shrink their defenses and set up battle formations.

A series of military orders were issued, and the soldiers of the Wagang Camp who were panicked at the beginning quickly followed the orders. As the orderly formation gradually took shape, the turbulent morale of the army gradually stabilized. , Set up a tight infantry battle formation.

The infantry battle formation of the Far Eastern Army is the strongest battle formation in the world after all. After resisting Li Jiajun's charge, he stood stubbornly outside Qushi City, and then endured Li Jiajun's charge again and again.

After more than an hour, the two thousand Wagang Battalion infantry were all killed in battle, and none of them surrendered, but for this, the Li family army paid more than 6,000 casualties.

However, the 10,000 infantry in the Wagang Camp were not completely wiped out, because all the soldiers died in battle, but Xie Yingdeng was captured alive. He did not commit suicide, nor did he think about suicide.

A spy from the Military Intelligence Office nearby witnessed this scene, and immediately reported the situation here to Shen Guang in a flying eagle direction.

Shen Guang was horrified, and told Xu Shiji the information. The latter's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Shimin really has a good plan. He even unknowingly hid 20,000 elite cavalry in Qushi City, and your military situation The spies sent by the government and our Wagang camp did not know in advance."

"My lord has repeatedly emphasized that we must be highly vigilant against Li Shimin. Now it seems that your lord is indeed wise. Although we also attached great importance to Li Shimin before, it seems that we did not pay enough attention to it now."

After Xu Shiji finished these two sentences, his expression became calm and indifferent. During the whole process, he led 10,000 cavalry without slowing down, and continued to charge north to Cheng Yaojin's headquarters.
