Section 74 Snow Night
At this time, Hu Yantong's serial horses had already bypassed the corner of the city wall.
West Street was originally known as eight horses in parallel, but Hu Yantong forced ten iron horses into one row. Hu Yantong was in the middle of the first row and waved a steel whip in his hand: "The chain of horses enter like a wall."
The so-called chain horses do not have to be covered with iron rings, but the distance between the horses is very close. Generally, on the open battlefield, the chain horse team will run apart after a period of time, so they have to be covered with iron rings. But on this West Street, the street is so wide.
Ten tall horses, wearing skirts and armor, advanced in uneven steps, and pressed towards the enemy like a wall. From the direction of the Jin soldiers, they looked like giants, pressing over one meter tall, row after row, endless.
In the face of such pressure, some of the Jin soldiers who were not in the queue turned around and ran away, while others were trembling and stayed in place. After the cavalry approached, they were knocked to the ground by the Song soldiers and trampled to death by the horse's hooves. A very small number of Jin soldiers wanted to fight with long weapons, but the weapons of the three iron horses on the left, center and right, he waved over them together. He could block a spear and avoid a sabre, and he could no longer avoid the third iron whip hitting his head.
Some Jin soldiers wanted to use bows and arrows, but the chain horses were all heavy armored, and ordinary bows and arrows could not be shot through, and they could not be shot at the vital points. After some war horses were caught, the rider jumped off the horse's back and passed through the gaps in the rear iron cavalry, until finally, joining the infantry following behind.
A row of chain horses was a wall, and fifty rows of chain horses were rolling torrents, pushing the Jin soldiers out of the entire West Street. Except for the Jin soldiers who were killed and trampled to death, most of the Jin soldiers escaped from the long street of Kaiyuanmen.
The soldiers in front of the hall on the city wall cheered. They only heard about the fierceness of the Jin thief, but had never seen such a proud iron armored heavy cavalry.
On the north bank of the Bian River, the Jin soldiers who came from the Jinhuimen had already withdrawn without waiting for the Iron Cavalry of Huyantong to cross the ice surface of the Bian River.
At this time, the infantry of the Long Jie Army began to attack towards Shuntian Gate and rescued Xu Ning.
The series of horses were majestic, but after clearing the West Street, their function ended here. The three long streets extending to the west were already dug by Hu Yangeng and were not suitable for the battlefield for the large cavalry.
Therefore, before the Jin soldiers retreated, they were on three long streets to the west.
The snow was getting heavy again, and the Jin soldiers began to hide in the residential houses on the Chang Street. These residential houses were cleared when the Jin soldiers broke through the city wall to the west. At this time, it was unexpected that some residents were killed.
But the entire Longjie army was guarding outside the west wall of the city, and had nowhere to stay under the wind and snow. The Jin soldiers did not retreat and dared not walk away.
Hu Yangeng shouted under the city: "Please ask the commander Wang Dian to come forward and answer, Long Jiejun is going to enter the city to rest."
Wang Zongyi then showed his head behind the city wall and scolded: "The city has been blocked with soil, and the garrison troops are stationed under the city wall, and those who leave without leaving will be killed." This is not to open the city gate, nor are soldiers allowed to go elsewhere to keep warm, and they can only waste under the city wall.
Hu Yangeng looked up at the flying snow in the sky, looked at the Jin soldiers hiding in the houses, and looked at the Long Jie army who had just occupied the base of the city wall of Licheng. He thought angrily: "Go to die, Emperor, I won't guard it."
But I can only think about it this way, but when I handed over the position I just regained to the Jin soldiers?
Hu Yantong had already retreated to rest with the iron horse and some of the soldiers, but Hu Yangeng was not advancing under the city wall with half of the Long Jie army's troops, nor was he retreated.
Hu Yangeng thought to himself: I still think it is too simple to lead troops to fight. I have always regarded Wang Zongyi as a waste, but today he would not let him lead troops into the city to rest, which made him stumped. He was still far from playing tricks.
He also thought: Although he was leading these military men in the name of the Xuanfusi, his uncle Hu Yanzhuo actually lent his strength to him. Hu Yangeng still has some experience in leading the army. He handed over a new army to him, and the fastest way to establish his prestige is to lead them to win battles, or even if the battle is not strong, he can fight with rules. The most taboo thing is to waste the unorganized waste, just like the current consumption of these six thousand dragons under the city wall.
"Only the barricade battle is started in advance." Hu Yangeng thought helplessly. The word Bianliang Ger came out of his mind. He was preparing for street fighting and also training street fighting in the Shenwu South Army.
Just as he was about to make such arrangements, a soldier reported that there were a large group of men and horses in the east, and two spies came first.
Hu Yangeng called the spy over and asked, and it turned out that Wu Ge learned that the battle in the inner city was very lively, so he lit up a commanding soldier and came to the city to support him. Hu Yangeng originally wanted to make fun of him: "I will come after the battle." But then he thought about it, with the efficiency of the Song army, he got the news, found out the situation, gathered the army, and then entered the east gate of the outer city and came over, which did take this time.
Moreover, after fighting in the Licheng for so long, Zhe Yanzhi and Yao Youzhong in the north did not make any noise, which shows Wu Ge's kindness. Hu Yangeng rode alone and went to meet Wu Ge.
When the two met, Wu Ge was very surprised: "The Jin thief has retreated, why don't he go into the Licheng City to rest?"
Hu Yangeng explained to Wu Ge with a wry smile.
Wu Ge said: "How can you stay in the heavy snow?"
"But the Jin Thief is so close that he can't walk."
"What should I do if I do?"
"The Sa family wants to attack the Jin thieves at night."
Wu Ge lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Wu Ge will come at that time. I don't know when the departure will be done."
"Just come at midnight, don't have too many people. One elite commander is enough. Wear white clothes and bring short soldiers."
"Wearing white clothes? At night." Wu Ge was a little confused, but he could understand after looking at the heavy snow all over the sky, "Ge knew."
Hu Yangeng said, "The Sa family also asked a member of the Shenwu Southern Army to come here."
Since he had made an appointment with Wu Ge, Hu Yangeng was not in a hurry to transfer people to replace him. The soldiers took turns to have supper in the sheltered place and waited under the west wall of Licheng.
The sky gradually became dark, and the snow fell to the evening and gradually stopped. The thick clouds in the sky had dispersed, revealing a refreshing night. The white patch on the ground reflected a glimmer of light.
At the sixth hour of You, a dense rustling sound came, which was the sound of someone stepping on the snow. Wu Ge and his 800 subordinates arrived early. Hu Yangeng immediately asked his subordinate Long Jie army to rest in the camp beside Chongming Gate. They were guarding the heavy snow all day today. They were so tired that it was useless to keep them staying under the city.
Hu Yangeng saw that Wu Ge's subordinates were all dressed in short clothes, all dressed in white, half-body chain mail, and everyone held a two-foot short knife.
"They are all in a short position?"
"The key to short-term advancement is to fight quickly. More soldiers are useless, and they will block each other."
When Hu Yangeng heard Wu Ge say this, he smiled.
After a while, another wave of people came. Hu Yangeng was transferred from Shenwu Southern Army. He was divided into two left groups. The previous wave was 2,500 people, spearmen, crossbowmen, long axe soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, and the camp was all available. The leader was Puluru Bosheng. The other wave was about 1,000 people, everyone was short swords and light armor, and the leader was Shi Jin. In addition to wearing white clothes, they also covered their bodies with white cloth. Some people were carrying phoenix crossbows.
Wu Gexi said: "Zhuma's subordinates are in line, so there is no need to be any accidents."
Puliu Ru Bosheng arranged the team under the city and ordered everyone to rest on the spot. The soldiers stamped their feet and warmed up. One hundred soldiers from the camp began to wear armor. The camp was full of nine-foot-tall men, Wu Song.
Seeing that the troops from various tribes were packed up, Hu Yangeng said softly, "Let's start now."
Puliu Ru Bosheng asked for a fight.
"This time I led the team. Bo Sheng, you are a cavalry general and use the Fangtian Painted Gauld, which is not suitable for street fighting. You lead the team here to guard against reserve thieves coming to steal the city, and pay attention to helping us." After Hu Yangeng finished speaking, he pulled out the silver mace from the saddle.
Wu Ge said to Puliu Ru Bosheng: "The commander is the plundering formation." Then he stood side by side with Hu Yangeng.
"Yifu, there are three roads from east to west here. You choose one to the south to lead to Shuntian Gate. I choose one in the middle to lead to Kaiyuan Gate. Shi Jin walks the road from the north to Jinhui Gate."
"Affect the order."
"Yifu, you take the people and just rush along the house." Hu Yangeng explained to Wu Ge that he only had three long streets to attack at the same time. Once Hu Yangeng's subordinates successfully resolved the other two streets, they would be able to achieve the battle goal.
"Street battle is an important form to fight against the Soviet mechanized corps... By digging traffic trenches, hiding the enemy, firepower, blasting, and assault are closely combined, and in the street fighting, the tactics of breaking walls and connecting courtyards, small detours, and small interludes to divide and annihilate the enemy... The assault team of street fighting uses three people as assault teams to cooperate in breaking into a single room." "Three elements of street fighting: firepower, blasting, and assault."
——"Anti-imperialist and anti-revisionist, preparation for war and famine——Military training example"
Some soldiers brought about a hundred buckets and water tanks, and the snow water that had just melted. They soaked the white cloth sheets in the water. These were the ice water that had just melted, which was cold and cold. After the white cloth sheets were soaked, the soldiers each took one and draped it on their bodies.
Hu Yangeng, Wu Ge, and Shi Jin each took their white-clothed soldiers and walked towards the long street facing Kaiyuanmen. Their white clothes and white cloth were matched with the snow, making people look less careful. They stopped at the edge of West Street and waited.
Wei Dingguo had already opened the six phoenix crossbows, Hu Yangeng nodded, Wei Dingguo asked someone to pour lamp oil on the crossbow arrows. These crossbow arrows were specially made, without iron arrows, but sharpened the big wooden dry. Each arrow carried a huge cartridge containing sulfur. The kite wings on the arrow and the leads of the cartridge had been lit. Sixty crossbow arrows began to burn.
Wei Dingguo waved the torch in his hand, and Song Jun shouted, and sixty crossbow arrows with fire shot towards the frontal houses. The houses of this era were all wooden houses, some of which fell on the roofs, and some directly penetrated the wooden boards and shot into the houses.
The houses near the west side of the long street began to burn, and then the tongue of flames spread greedily towards everything it could lick.
The fire was as bright as snow, reflecting half of the sky red.
