Chapter 702 Iron-Blooded Cavalry!
On June 12, the sky was sunny, windless and cloudless.
Wang Lian's head hanging at the city gate began to stink.
On the broad land in front, a black shadow appeared.
At this time, everyone in the city felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy because the Jin army was coming.
The Jin army fought with such ferocity that it was frightening.
At the front were the archers and crossbowmen. They were wearing armor and came forward in groups, forming several horizontal lines.
The atmosphere was very tense. This was the first time for many people to fight against the regular Jin army.
Not long after, a large hail of arrows rose from below and rushed towards the city.
The guards at the top of the city also began to fire arrows at the Jin army.
For a moment, there was a hail of arrows, rushing towards the opponent, and screams came one after another.
The arrows had limited damage to the armored Jin Army, but the damage to the guards on the city top was very large.
Soon, many people were hit by arrows.
Some people fell to the ground and screamed in pain, some squatted behind the battlements and gasped for air, and some were shot in the vital parts and died on the spot.
Before the war came, everyone thought they were mentally prepared.
It wasn't until the war really came that everyone truly realized that their previous psychological preparations were all based on their own assumptions.
However, no one on the top of the city clamored to retreat.
Many people were still shooting arrows under the city tower, and some Jin soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but the number was much smaller than the guards at the top of the city.
Soon, several groups of people from the Jin Army carried ladders and braved the rain of arrows and began to move quickly towards the bottom of the city tower.
The arrow clusters impacted on their armor and bounced off. Several of them were hit, but it did not prevent them from approaching the city wall.
More and more people fell down on the top of the city, and screams could not be heard. The people behind them began to quickly fill up their positions.
The first batch of Jin troops arrived at the foot of the city tower and set up the ladder.
The city wall in Shucheng County is not high, only more than three meters. It is easy to climb up with a ladder and does not require a goose cart.
When the Jin army's ladder was set up, the guards above began to hit the people below with wood and rocks.
Those Jin Army soldiers moved very quickly. After some people were knocked down, others climbed up.
After the two sides competed with each other for a period of time, the first Jin army climbed up the city.
As soon as he came up, the ax in his right hand swept forward.
With a click, the ax blade hit a young man's neck, tearing open the flesh and blood in an instant and breaking the neck.
The head tilted and fell off the neck. You could even clearly see the trachea, and blood sprayed on the faces of the people around him.
At this time, many people were empty-headed and instinctively rushed towards the Jin army.
A thin man rushed over and used the force of the impact to throw the Jin Jun away. The two fell from the wall together.
The two people fell to the ground, and the Jin Army soldier was below, landing on his back. His internal organs were dislocated on the spot and he vomited blood.
The thin man had a better life and broke his left arm.
Although the first Jin army to climb the tower was captured, there was already a steady stream of Jin troops behind them.
The war between the two sides entered into a close encounter on the city wall.
Moreover, there is a steady stream of Jin troops coming down below, and there are at least a thousand people in this vanguard camp.
At this time, Liang Xing in the city led a steady stream of rebel troops to support the city wall.
I saw Wang Hu holding a blood-stained mace and hitting Jin Jun on the head. A closer look showed that his left arm was hanging down feebly.
"Everyone, run! The Jin Army is so powerful!"
A man named Li Zhong shouted from the bottom of the city tower.
As soon as he shouted, someone's expression suddenly changed.
But Liang Xing rushed over quickly, pressed him to the ground with one hand, pulled out his knife and slashed Li Zhong's head off.
Liang Xing shouted loudly: "This is our home, how can we abandon it! Hold on, everyone! Master Wang will be here soon!"
Liang Xing's decisive blow immediately cut off the timidity that had just appeared in the others.
The young people behind silently rushed to the tower.
When one group falls, another person takes over.
In this way, these ordinary people used their lives to form a wall.
At this time, Yao Zhengbu, who was thirty miles away, was rushing towards Shucheng County.
After another half an hour, the battle at the head of Shucheng County was extremely fierce, with corpses piled high, and the city was ready for street fighting.
The Jin troops who attacked also had a hard time, being thrown down one after another.
Alan looked up and cursed: "These untouchables! Let's see how long they can resist!"
"Report! Traces of Song Army cavalry found!" At this time, the scouts sent an urgent military report.
Ah Lan stood up immediately and said, "As expected, the Song Army is here! How far is it from here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to hear the faint sound of horse hooves.
Ah Lan was stunned for a moment and quickly put his ears to the ground, suddenly looking shocked.
The Song army came so quickly!
The scouts just sent the information and they are here!
"Quick! Get in formation quickly!"
Ah Lan yelled at the officer next to him.
He did not want to be defeated by the Song army in Shucheng.
The horns of the Jin army sounded, and the rest quickly formed their formations.
But at this time, the Song army was already rushing towards Shucheng as fast as the wind.
They came from the south, and at first they were far enough away that the Jin army's scouts could not detect their traces.
By the time they arrived, the scouts' intelligence had lost its tactical value.
This team was led by Yao Zheng, with a total of 800 cavalry and 2,400 war horses.
Each person has three horses, and they are fine war horses from the northwest.
This provided the Shenwu Army cavalry with a basis for blitzkrieg.
The Jin Army did not know yet that the overall combat power of the Shenwu Army had once again improved by two levels compared to the previous battle against Liu Yu.
The Shenwu Army quickly closed the distance with the Jin Army, suddenly stopped a thousand meters away, and then began to change horses.
After quickly changing the horses, the cry to kill rang out.
It's like a compressed spring bursting out with force in an instant.
Eight hundred cavalrymen surged toward the Jin army, which was still forming its formation.
The distance between the two sides quickly closed.
Ah Lan could already feel the ground under his feet shaking slightly, and he showed a hint of horror.
The opponent came from a long distance and charged directly?
This is Huo Qubing’s style of play, and it’s also Wanyan Lou’s style of play!
Seeing the Song army roaring towards them, without any time to think about it, A Lan shouted loudly: "The former army has spears! Hurry!"
The Jin troops in front quickly formed formations with shields and spears.
This is a classic formation to defend against cavalry charges. As long as the infantry is of good quality, the cavalry will be useless as soon as they charge forward, unless the heavy cavalry spends a lot of money.
But already very close to the Jin Army, the Shenwu Iron Cavalry immediately separated to both sides skillfully, made a graceful arc, and rushed in like lightning towards the left and right wings that had not yet had time to form.
The left and right wings of the Jin Army were torn apart in an instant like paper.
Countless screams rang out, accompanied by the sound of Tie Guduo hitting his head, and blood flowed everywhere.
Jin Jun was cut open from both sides!
Chapter completed!
