Chapter 564 Building the Beijing Temple
Under the successive attacks of the Han cavalry, the Qiang soldiers who were responsible for forming formations out of the city to stop the Han army and delay it were gradually penetrated through the military formation.
Moreover, due to the charge of the general Zhao Tong and the generals such as Ma Zhong and Liu Yin, the morale of the Han army at this moment was like a rainbow and the fighting spirit was high.
The Qiang tribes had no room for resistance at all.
At this moment, Prime Minister Yadan, who was on the top of the city and was responsible for organizing the fortification and clearing the field, saw this, and his face gradually changed slightly, "Huh? Is the enemy's combat power so strong?"
Seeing that his troops, who had been delayed in forming formation out of the city, were faintly broken up by the Han cavalry, and the soldiers were fleeing towards the city gate, he was undoubtedly shocked deep in his heart.
Especially since the resistance time is still short, the walls have not yet been fortified and the fields have been cleared, and there are still many people blocking the city gate.
In addition, the tribesmen who blocked the Han cavalry were overwhelmed and were running towards the city.
After smashing the formation of the Qiang people, Zhao Tong, who was covered in blood at this moment, held up the bloody spear, with a strong look of murder on his face, and said sternly:
"Soldiers, the city is about to be broken. Follow the defeated troops and rush into the city!"
A loud roar fell to the ground, and thousands of knights became even more excited.
“Tap tap tap~~”
The sound of hoofbeats resounded again.
Looking at the menacing enemy cavalry, Prime Minister Yadan wanted to quickly close the city gate, but for a while he was unable to evacuate the people crowded at the city gate, and was attacked by the fleeing troops.
At this time, the city gate was in chaos.
However, the knights led by Zhao Tong came and went like the wind, but they did not give the Qiang people any room to maneuver.
"Shua, shua..."
Soon, the Han cavalry units had reached the city gate. As the cavalrymen holding spears stabbed the Qiang soldiers one after another, bursts of wailing sounds suddenly sounded.
Endless roars come and go...
Seeing that the city gate could not be closed, Prime Minister Yadan immediately organized most of the soldiers to resist and defend with all their lives.
I don’t want to let the Han cavalry enter the city!
Although the city gate was narrow and was not conducive to cavalry charges, thousands of knights slowly attacked like a thunderous attack.
The Qiang soldiers, who were completely demoralized at this moment, could not resist at all.
Prime Minister Yadan here was still ordering all the ministries to defend the city gate to the death, while the scouts on the other side quickly presented the latest military information to the King of Xiqiang.
After hearing the news, Cheriji quickly ordered the Royal City Guards to come over for support.
However, before assistance could reach the city gate, the frontal defense line could no longer support it.
Zhao commanded his troops to fight bloody battles for a long time and then rushed into the city.
"Listen to this general's order, and all units must gather together to kill the defeated troops. We must not allow the enemy to gather together and engage in street fighting with our army."
"only."
The order was passed, and the generals each took orders to pursue and kill the remaining soldiers.
All the generals and commanders clearly understood what their generals meant.
This time our troops are all cavalry. If we cannot defeat the Qiang in one go, we will force them to occupy the streets and maintain a stalemate once they are given a chance to breathe.
Then the situation will be extremely bad for them.
This time Zhao Tong was determined to lead his knights to attack thousands of miles away in order to achieve a quick victory.
The Xiqiang Kingdom must not be given any time to react.
Street fighting is very disadvantageous for knights.
After the order was given, each group of Han cavalry went around to pursue and kill them one after another.
Along the way, the Qiang soldiers who had been killed long ago were undoubtedly running away in a hurry, unable to think of any resistance.
Until Liu Yin led a group of troops to pursue them fiercely, and they collided head-on with the Qiang Royal City Guards.
At this moment, Cheliji, the king of Xiqiang, was wearing a golden helmet and holding a sword in formation to face the enemy.
Not to mention, the Royal City Guards are indeed quite elite.
Once the battle started, they were evenly matched with Liu Yin's tribe!
Just like this, the defeated troops that had completely collapsed seemed to have slowly found their backbone and were gathering here one after another.
Zhao Tong, who was supervising the battle, heard that the enemy's escorts were still unable to break through. He was also deeply afraid of the long nights and dreams, so he quickly summoned his elite troops to kill Liu Yin's tribe.
With such a decisive decision, the Han knights regained the upper hand.
Zhao Tong took the lead and charged into the rebel army, showing his bravery and invincibility.
The morale of the cavalrymen under his command is rising steadily!
Looking from afar, the soldiers under his command were gradually becoming outnumbered. Cheriji, who had not personally gone into battle for many years, seemed to want to fight to the death, so he rode out with his horse and sword.
Soon, they were in the same group as Zhao Tong, who was also rushing into the battle.
As the gun and knife collided, bursts of excitement were heard.
The two of them fought together, attacking and killing each other back and forth.
Within more than ten rounds, Cheriji was able to draw with him.
While Zhao Tong fought with his gun, he secretly considered the bravery of the man in front of him. He knew that this man was not weak. With his own marksmanship, he might not be able to kill him before he was thirty or forty years old.
But now, with the Royal City Guards gradually containing the decline.
More and more broken troops gathered around.
Zhao Tong knew very well that if he could not defeat this enemy as soon as possible, the longer it took, the worse it would be for his own side!
And when they were fighting, Pang De, who received the military order, quickly came to support with his troops and joined the battle group.
Pang De seemed to have sharp eyes, and quickly shouted loudly, "General Zhao, this person is Cheliji, the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom."
"What?"
As this voice seemed to pass through the sky, it reached Zhao Tong's ears, which made him hesitate for a while, and then he was overjoyed.
The person in front of me is actually Cheliji, the king of Xiqiang?
Doesn't that mean that as long as this person can be killed in formation, the Xiqiang thieves will collapse without a fight?
Zhao Tong knew that he would not be able to kill Cheriji quickly by himself. After some thought, he immediately came up with an idea and quickly called on the generals to rush over to him.
Liu Yin, Pang De, Ma Zhong...
Several generals broke through the rebel army and joined Zhao Tong.
Then they all joined the battle circle to surround and kill the King of Xiqiang.
At this time, Cheriji's pressure suddenly doubled.
He was already somewhat powerless against Zhao Tongyi.
Now there are several more brave Han generals who are not under Zhao Tong's siege. He no longer has the power to parry, let alone fight back.
After about a few seconds, Zhao Tong took the lead and shot away the force of the sword in Cheriji's palm with a quick shot. Then he shook his spear and shot away his defense.
In the next second, several generals quickly followed up, and together they killed Cheriji under his horse!
King Xiqiang died under his horse, and the Han cavalry formations all started shouting loudly.
At this moment, the little morale that had finally been built up disappeared again.
The Qiang soldiers had no room for resistance anymore and fled in all directions, allowing the Han knights to chase them.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king!
Even the King of Xiqiang was killed in battle, so what else could he resist?
Next, Linqiang City fell into a bloody massacre.
All the Han cavalrymen were harvesting their heads one after another in order to win military glory.
In particular, Zhao Tong had issued an order before the war to leave no survivors alive and not to take prisoners of war.
At this moment, Linqiang City fell into bloody massacre!
Chapter completed!
