The north and south gates of Jinzhou City suddenly opened, and with two roars, two sturdy cavalry suddenly surged out of the city gates. The one coming out from the north was a man holding a double-edged battle ax.
All the fierce generals were engraved with letters, and what came out of the south city gate was a bloodthirsty and murderous figure who was straddling a fierce tiger.
Although I did not expect that the Hetao army would break through so quickly, the Northeastern Three-Nation Allied Forces, which had been on high alert, still responded immediately. Countless heavy armored soldiers were arranged in an orderly manner into a thick infantry square.
The crossbowmen stood behind the cavalry, preparing to launch at a 45-degree angle. The cavalry protected the weakest wings of the infantry so that the opponent could not take advantage of it.
Since we can't make a surprise attack, let's go head-to-head! This was the only idea that Xue Sha and Xin Ke had at that time. Xin Ke only heard a tiger roar, as loud as thunder, and one man and one horse rushed to the front of the infantry square of the Northeastern Allied Forces, diagonally
He avoided the opponent's spear thrust out from the gap in the shield, and the double-edged battle ax engraved with a letter, mixed with a sharp whistle, hit the shield directly in front of him. The powerful impact of the cavalry and the letter
The indestructible shield that could withstand the head-on collision of heavy cavalry was immediately torn into pieces by his innate divine power. And the double-edged battle ax, which had not stopped killing, smashed the shield and directly smashed the soldier behind the shield.
Smashed to pieces.
"Brothers, kill me!" Xinke shouted loudly. As he spoke, he chopped the other two shield bearers around him into several pieces. Facing the heavy armored infantry that had already formed a formation, if he couldn't
Once a breakthrough was made, the only outcome would be to be strangled one by one by the opponent's spears and shields. When they just approached the enemy's formation, many cavalrymen were picked up high by the spears of the Northeastern Allied Forces. His 40,000 cavalrymen were still alive.
There are more important tasks, and they must not be allowed to waste timelessly here.
Following the gap opened by Xin Ke, 40,000 cavalrymen rushed in without hesitation. In front of them was the unstoppable general Xin Ke; behind them, they placed the hopes of four million villagers;
Beside them are their close brothers and sisters.
Let our blood pave a way for the four million fellow villagers to survive! I don’t know who shouted this in the army, and it quickly became the voice of the 40,000 cavalry. Originally it was just a small gap,
However, under the fearless attack and extremely strong belief of the Hetao cavalry, they were quickly expanded countless times. Facing the 40,000 wolves and tigers of the Hetao cavalry, although they had an advantage in strength, the Hetao cavalry was unable to defeat the Hetao cavalry.
Under the desperate attack, the Northeastern Allied Forces' positions continued to move back, and the 80,000-person infantry phalanx began to become somewhat chaotic.
When Xin Ke was showing off his majestic power, the 60,000 cavalrymen who were killed in bloody battles also showed their sharp fangs. These 60,000 cavalrymen followed them from Dingzhou to Fengling Ferry, from Hetao to the Northeastern Three Kingdoms, and then
The real elites who traveled thousands of miles from the ice and snow to attack Taihang Jinzhou. Every war horse is a good horse after traveling thousands of miles. Every warrior is a warrior who has experienced life and death. Facing the ten enemies of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms
With tens of thousands of left-wing troops, there was not a trace of fear in their hearts. Thinking back to when they were in the wilderness, they faced the same dangerous situation without fear. Although the enemy army was several times larger than our own, they still had
What to fear?
"Brothers, the four million fellow villagers behind us are still waiting for our good news! Fight with me!" Xue Sha shouted loudly, and the mountain below him was also roaring. The horses around Xue Sha were still
Better, although they also have a natural fear of the King of Beasts, after all, they have been with Zhenshan for a long time, and they are just afraid and fearful. The enemy's cavalry is not the same, facing the King of Beasts.
Such a fierce tiger that has been dyed red with blood not only frightens the horses and stumbles, but also the cavalry on the horses are frightened. With the power of the tiger that dominates the mountain and the huge butcher knife that kills blood, in
Within a radius of one foot, no enemy dared to approach him.
On the hill to the south of the battlefield, Cassimbas's face was as sinking as water, while the faces of Yelu Canghai and Jin Meiliu beside him were not very good-looking. No one expected that the opponent only had 100,000 cavalry, so they turned their side south.
The 200,000-strong army from the north was shaken in their charge, and the frontline troops were also charged into chaos.
"Master Prime Minister, should we send troops to support you?" Prince Yelu Minghuang, the commander of the Mandan Royal Guards Regiment, asked tentatively.
"Trash! 80,000 soldiers were actually thrown into disarray when they were attacked by 40,000 cavalry even after they had already established a firm position. Moreover, 20,000 of them were what you call the most elite heavy armored infantry. You still have the nerve to let the Prime Minister send troops?
Support?" Yelu Canghai's expression was not good-looking. In the direction of the letter, half of them were soldiers from the Mandan Royal Guards. He originally thought that the infantry phalanx that had been prepared could completely block the opponent's attack, but he did not expect that
Yes, he actually lost the opportunity after just one face-to-face encounter, which immediately made his face a little confused.
"You don't have to blame yourself, Prime Minister Ye. These two groups of cavalry must be the elite of Hetao, and the people who command the troops are indeed well versed in the art of war, so they can create such a situation. However, I believe that they are only brave for a moment if they can't wear a strong crossbow.
.When they lose their energy and we stand firm, they will have nothing to fear." Jin Meiliu said with relief. In fact, his situation was even more embarrassing than that of Yelu Canghai, who was facing an army of more than 100,000 people.
Most of them are from the Haixi clan. Originally, the Haixi soldiers ruled the roost outside the Great Wall with their ferocity and brutality, but I didn’t expect that the Hetao cavalry was even more ferocious. In front of the bloody Zhenshan and tens of thousands of cavalry, the Haixi soldiers turned out to be
He only had the power to parry and had no power to fight back, so he was particularly annoyed.
"Their army is preparing to break out." Cassimbas ignored the conversation between the two prime ministers. He just said lightly: "It's just that if more than 100,000 troops and four million people want to escape from Jinzhou City##
#Come on, it will take half a day no matter what. Although their cavalry are brave, but in this half-day effort, even if they are tired, they will be exhausted! Give the order, all ministries strictly guard the defense line, and anyone who retreats without authorization or escapes from the battle will be punished on the spot.
Execution!"
Yelu Canghai and Jin Meiliu didn't say anything. Both of them were good at political affairs but short on military affairs, so they wisely handed over all the command of the army to Cassimbas. Although Cassimbas was famous among the six people outside the Great Wall,
For ten years, he has never participated in the political intrigues of the three Northeastern countries. He is a typical soldier. Although sometimes the means to achieve his goals are indeed a bit ruthless, but at such times, he will never and does not bother to play tricks, so they
The two of them felt particularly at ease.
On the battlefield, Yelu Minghui of Mandan and Jin Zongbiao of Haixi were working hard to adjust their formations. Although he is the eldest prince of the Mandan Dynasty, Yelu Minghui is not the kind who has never been on the battlefield.
Chu'er. The foreigners outside the Great Wall have always advocated force, and Yelu Minghui can be regarded as a tiger general in the Mandan country. Although he is not as good as his uncle Wang Yelu Zhaochang who died in battle, he is not a fool. Although he failed in the first battle,
He did not panic at all. While the cavalry engraved with the letter was being entangled by the soldiers who broke up in front, he had already completed the formation of the second line of defense at the back. The infantry faced the cavalry, either forming a dense infantry phalanx, or
It is to establish a deep defense position. Although the impact of the Hetao army is powerful, Yelu Minghui believes that no one can break through the heavy infantry phalanx he personally formed.
Jin Zongbiao's method was much simpler. Although it was also a second defensive front, he didn't care about the life and death of his men at all. For those Northeast soldiers who were still struggling under the iron heel of the bloody army, his only
What he did was to stick to his infantry square formation and order strong bows to prepare, so as not to let these scattered soldiers move his position. As for their life and death, Jin Zongbiao didn't care at all. Since he dared to go to the battlefield, he must first have a battle.
The awakening of death on the battlefield. And he himself also understood that although he had more soldiers than the other party, this was the coalition of Haixi and Baijing, and there was not much running-in at ordinary times. And the cavalry who killed them was too tough,
If you lose effective command and formation, you will not be able to withstand the opponent's cavalry attack, but will disrupt your plan step by step. Ci does not control troops, Jin Zongbiao said secretly in his heart.
Thanks to the efforts of Yelu Minghui and Jin Zongbiao, the originally chaotic North-South battlefield finally entered a stalemate stage, and the Xuesha Xinke duo, who were not ready for a new round of attack, also slowed down and turned to clearing out the enemy.
The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of Northeast China were struggling within the scope of their cavalry. At this moment, a dazzling firework suddenly rose from Jinzhou City, followed by a fierce drum sound. Then there was only a loud bang, Jinzhou
At the foot of the west wall of the city, more than twenty door openings as big as city gates suddenly opened. Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, countless Hetao soldiers in bright armor quickly ran out of the door openings, and before them
Behind him, there are endless rows of neatly arranged children.
"What a trick! I've definitely shown my hand!" Kasimbas murmured on the hill. He originally thought that it would take Haotian at least half a day to bring out all four million people, but according to this
In such a situation, I am afraid that they will be able to surge out in less than half an hour.
"The army is ready to attack. It's time for a decisive battle!" Cassimbas said coldly.
When the Battle of Hukou began, smoke began to fill the air at Fengling Ferry.
From the moment Haotian left the Hetao and set foot on the land of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, Situ Lie was already ready for battle. The Iron Eagle people who occupied the two prefectures east of Hexi Road would never miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
It was a good opportunity. Their 80,000 troops stationed on Hexi Road had already been prepared, waiting for Haotian to send troops to Jinzhou to send troops to Fenglingdu. As expected, Haotian sent troops to Jinzhou, and they had been prepared for it.
Of course they came.
Fengling Ferry is located in the upper reaches of the river. In the area above the ferry, the river mostly shuttles through high mountains and ridges. Not only are the mountains high and the valleys deep, but the water flow is rapid. Except for Wangjin Ferry in Dingzhou and the main road from north to northwest along Yizhou Road,
Some areas of the Yinping Ancient Road and other places are not suitable for large groups to cross the river. The reason why the Kipchak Khan of Rouran was able to successfully sneak across the river from the upper reaches of the river was not only due to traitors, but also to a large extent luck. But now the Hetao
They are integrated up and down. If the Tieying people without any internal support want to set foot on the Hetao, they have no choice but to attack Fengling Ferry.
What the nomads are best at is running thousands of miles and cavalry field battles. Although they have some methods for siege battles and river crossing battles, they are not very good at it after all. The most important thing is that there are no large rivers on the northwest prairie.
The river is a big river, so they don't have many tools to cross the river. The boats on the Hexi Road were burned when they swept through the northwest, so the only thing Hengshi Hasan can use now is their oldest crossing tool, the sheepskin raft.
.
Looking at the sheepskin rafts floating over the river, Situ Lie only had a sneer on his face. Although the 20,000 infantrymen were far inferior to the opponent's 80,000 troops, with the natural dangers of the river and the complete defensive positions, he was completely
He has the ability to bury the opponent's entire army on the river. Even if some fish slip through the net, looking at the high-spirited Hetao soldiers in front of him, Situ Lie has every reason to believe that he can handle it.
"Prepare the trebuchets!" Situ Lie said in a deep voice. In order to ensure the safety of Fengling Ferry, Situ Lie worked tirelessly and dismantled all twenty trebuchets of various sizes in Shizhou City.
Installed on the south bank of Fengling Ferry. Since Shizhou was originally an important border defense area in the northern part of the Hetao, the trebuchets designed and installed were also particularly sophisticated. Although it was crazily destroyed by foreigners outside the Great Wall when the Hetao fell, after the subsequent
After repairs, twenty trebuchets can still be used normally. This type of weapon of mass destruction is specially designed to deal with the enemy's large siege equipment and heavy infantry and heavy cavalry. It only requires one precise hit to knock out a vehicle.
The siege engines were smashed to pieces. The small trebuchets also caused extremely huge damage to the enemy. All soldiers hit by the trebuchets were either disabled for life or killed on the spot.
"Aim at those sheepskin rafts and smash them hard!" Situ Lie said fiercely. He would never let these nomadic soldiers get close to the shore or within a distance of 80 to 100 meters from the shore, even though there were no war horses.
, but the nomadic soldiers are still a group of qualified archers. The folding bows in their hands are fully capable of exerting huge lethality within a range of one hundred meters. So what he has to do now is to try his best to eliminate the enemy troops across the river.
Anyway, he hasn't heard of many nomadic soldiers who can swim. If they fall into the river, they will almost drown.
