Seven hundred and thirtieth eight chapters Baijing counterattack
Chapter 738: Beijing’s Counterattack
On the night when the reserve soldiers arrived at Shensha City, the city gates of Shensha City suddenly opened, and more than 100,000 soldiers suddenly rushed out from the four walls. The burning butter torches illuminated the entire sky red. Under the command of the leading general,
All the soldiers are heading towards the location of Haotian's camp located in the south of Shensha City. At this time, there are only Haotian's Tiger and Ben Legion and three cavalry regiments of Long Xiang, Snow Lion and Feng Wu around Shensha City. The honor of killing the white tiger and so on
Legion and Feng Jingxin left the camp together in the afternoon. They were both people who liked movement but disliked silence. After receiving Haotian's order, they immediately prepared to attack the two small cities.
The incident happened suddenly, but the Huben Legion was Haotian's personal army after all, and it never lost its basic vigilance. Moreover, the Huben Legion had the smallest number of new recruits, so its combat effectiveness was also the most stable, coupled with the full strength of the three cavalry legions.
Attacking, the soldiers of Beijing did not get any benefits.
None of the military generals in Hetao are easy-going. At least Wuxiaolangjun and others are not people who are passively beaten. After they figured out the situation, the three cavalry regiments began to fight back, especially the Longxiang Corps led by Wuxiaolangjun.
, inserted directly near the city gate, actually preparing to outflank the Beijing army from behind.
"Cassimbas did not go into battle." Standing on the platform at the top of the Qingyun, Haotian said while looking at the brightly lit Shensha City.
Xuanji frowned and said, "Is Cassimbas's injury too serious, so he cannot go into battle in person?"
The flag of Cassimbas was flying on the top of the city. For the soldiers in Beijing, the flag of Cassimbas was more refreshing than the presence of Pliski II. Even though Cassimbas suffered unprecedented hardships in Changhua,
A blow, but in their hearts, they still believe that Cassimbas is invincible and that Cassimbas is their military god and will lead them to victory.
Among the troops worshiping the capital, Xuanji did not see Cassimbas's commanding flag, but the command flag on the city tower was constantly dancing. It was obvious that Cassimbas was commanding the people below through the red and green lanterns at the top of the city.
soldiers.
Luo Xiang also stood beside Haotian. On the battlefield, Luo Xiang was like Haotian's shadow. Wherever Haotian appeared, he would be there.
However, after standing on the tall city tower and separating himself from the entire battlefield, Cassimbas's command was more powerful and direct. Although Hetao had advantages in troops and arms, all the leading generals were from the East.
The mainland's top generals, but under the lantern command of Cassimbas, the Baijing army has maintained its offensive momentum. However, Luo Xiang always felt that there were certain problems with the other party's command. Some places were relatively rigid and there was no jam at all.
Simbas is as smooth as ever.
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "To be honest, if the Snow Lion Army was led by Feng Shuai or Xin Shuai himself, we wouldn't have to fight so hard at all."
Xuanji also nodded and said: "If it's the two of them, they should have discovered the crux of the matter, but even if they discovered it, they can't do anything about it. Forget it, let someone inform the Qingcheng Mistress, otherwise who will know the soldiers who paid tribute to the capital
How arrogant will it be?"
Haotian also nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to order the soldiers, his eyes suddenly fixed. Among the thousands of troops, a female general in white armor put away her spear, pulled out the long bow on her back, and put her right hand on her back casually.
With a touch of the quiver on his body, two sharp arrows jumped out of the quiver as if they were alive. The arrows were placed on the bowstring. He leaned back slightly, and suddenly the bow was like a full moon and the arrows were like shooting stars.
Looking at her elegant and perfect posture, Haotian suddenly remembered the heroic posture when he held her bow with her back to the moonlight when he saw her for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Maybe
, only on such a battlefield is her true destination. Like Dugu and others, she belongs to this battlefield and is born to fight.
Luo Xiang's eyes are shining brightly, and the Moon God Bow, which is also known as the Moon God Bow in the world, is the same as the Heavenly Punishment Bow of Yue Tengkong, a heroic layman, and King Yi's Bow, the nine-day divine arrow king. It is indeed unique. His eyesight is very good.
The moment Xue Qingcheng nocked an arrow and strung the bow like a full moon, he clearly saw that Xue Qingcheng's five fingers were completely aligned in a straight line. This was the first time he had seen such a strange bow-drawing posture.
Accompanied by the sound of two sharp arrows piercing the air, before the soldiers on the city tower came to their senses, two lanterns had been shot by Xue Qingcheng at the same time. The cavalrymen under Xue Qingcheng who were from the Bloody Plateau also pulled out one after another.
Bows and arrows were fired at the lanterns on the tower.
"Yes, although it is not as good as Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai, it is earlier than we expected. It seems that the mistress has good insight into the battlefield." Luo Xiang said with a smile.
He and Xuanji had just seen that the effectiveness of the Beijing soldiers was entirely dependent on the personal command of Cassimbas on the tower, and the way Cassimbas commanded them was through the two lanterns.
.Xue Qingcheng finally understood this, so she simply shot down the lantern to disrupt the opponent's command and deployment.
The lanterns on the city tower were extinguished, and the Beijing-baiting army below the city tower could not get any command from the city tower, and there was some confusion. What puzzled the Hetao side was that the other party did not light the lanterns, and bursts of rushing sounds suddenly sounded from the city tower.
The golden sound.
"What on earth is Cassimbas doing?" Haotian asked doubtfully.
Luo Xiang and Xuanji both shook their heads. It was obvious that they didn't know what Cassimbas had planned.
The Beijing army did not retreat directly into the city from the southern city wall, but took a detour to the north. Judging from their posture, they were preparing to enter the city through the east and west gates or even the north gate of Hetao, which were not guarded by troops.
The Hetao army naturally pursued them one after another, but the opponent almost retreated close to the city wall. The defenders on the city tower fired their crossbows, and the Hetao cavalry did not dare to approach. The number of Beijing soldiers in Shensha City is limited. If the 100,000 soldiers here can be
All the soldiers were wiped out, which would definitely be of great help to the subsequent siege of Hetao. Therefore, without waiting for Haotian's order, three cavalry regiments had already charged forward, and even the cavalry of the Huben Corps were ready to move.
Just as the Hetao cavalry left, all the lights on the towers of Shensha City suddenly went out. Haotian was startled, and Luo Xiang had already shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Huben Army obey the order and defend where they are immediately! Someone, light the butter torch!"
In the battle just now, both sides lit a large number of torches. However, all the lights of the city tower defenders suddenly went out, and Shensha City suddenly fell into darkness. Luo Xiang reacted sharply and immediately realized that Beijing would definitely take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
He quickly ordered the Tiger and Ben troops to defend.
Sure enough, before Luo Xiang's shouts of orders had dissipated, a sharp whistle suddenly came from Shensha City. Due to the sudden darkness in front of them, the soldiers of Hetao could not adapt to the situation for a while, but Luo Xiang could see clearly, and countless black shadows suddenly appeared from behind.
The south gate wall of Shensha City fell down the rope and rushed towards Haotian's central army formation crazily. Since the opponent was not wearing armor, he was extremely fast, and he had already killed the Huben Army in just a few breaths.
in front of.
"Damn it, Cassimbas' initial raid was entirely to prepare for this second sneak attack." Luo Xiang said bitterly.
It is not that Hetao has never encountered such a thing. That day outside Jinhua's Green City, Park Zhicheng was like this. He first launched a small-scale attack, and after relaxing the attention of Hetao, a hundred thousand troops suddenly descended on him.
Go out and directly attack Haotian's central army formation.
In comparison, Cassimbas used more than 100,000 troops as an early cover this time, but the number of people they killed now was only about 10,000, so they were naturally ignored by the Hetao. However, although there were only about 10,000 people, their combat effectiveness
Extremely strong, and not afraid of death, he actually broke through the three lines of defense of the Tigers and Ben Legion in one fell swoop. If they were allowed to continue advancing, Haotian's vehicle would also be exposed to the opponent's attack range.
However, the reason why Luo Xiang's face was ashen was because these 10,000 soldiers were too abnormal. Without armor, their movements were extremely flexible and their speed was quite fast. But at the same time, their own defense power was reduced. They can be used as Hetao soldiers.
When the sword came to them, as long as their heads were not chopped off, even if they were missing arms and legs, or even their stomachs were pulled open to reveal the bloody internal organs, they seemed not to feel any pain. Then the Hetao soldiers were surprised.
Among them, he easily chopped off the heads of the soldiers in Hetao.
Xuanji said quietly: "I have heard before that when some sects in the Jianghu send out their dead soldiers, they will make these dead soldiers take some kind of medicine to paralyze their nerves and make them fearless of physical pain. At the same time,
Their minds are not clear, and only the order that was instilled in their minds at the beginning is left in their minds. Unless their heads are cut off directly, they will never stop as long as they are still breathing. However, Cassimbas
Is it worth it?”
"We don't know whether it's worth it, but if you want to break through the defense line of our Tiger and Ben Army with only 10,000 dead soldiers, that would be too underestimated." Haotian snorted coldly.
The Huben Army is worthy of being Haotian's personal army. At this time, they finally showed their extraordinary qualities. Although they were caught off guard by the opponent at first, and they misjudged the opponent's strength, causing them to lose the opportunity.
.But after all, they had a strength advantage, and the soldiers' individual combat qualities and coordination abilities were quite strong. Under the command of five infantry commanders, they first blocked the opponent's charge with long spears and strong shields, and then outflanked the opponent's attack with both wings.
Surrounded tightly by it.
Luo Xiang frowned and said: "Lord, something is wrong with the situation. Cassimbas never does useless work. Now these ten thousand dead soldiers are just here to die. Baijing's current military strength is already very insufficient. In theory,
, Cassimbas shouldn’t waste his troops like this.”
Haotian also nodded. The combat effectiveness of these 10,000 dead soldiers who were paralyzed by drugs is indeed extraordinary. Even if the five infantry armies of the Huben Corps go into battle together, it will take a lot of effort to wipe them out. These people are used to defend the city.
, can definitely play a huge role. But Cassimbas resolutely used them here, obviously with a greater purpose.
"They still underestimated our strength." Haotian said slowly.
Xuanji quickly said: "My lord, after the Battle of Changhua, even if Cassimbas despised us at the beginning, he will definitely not look down upon us now. However, among his ten thousand dead soldiers, at most he will
Our infantry of the Huben Corps are just holding them back."
At this point, Xuanji's eyes suddenly lit up. Luo Xiang and Haotian looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Cassimbas still has an ambush!"
There are only Haotian's Huben Corps and three cavalry regiments outside Shensha City. The three cavalry regiments plus the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Huben Corps have just gone to chase the more than 100,000 troops fleeing north from Beijing. Now Haotian is only surrounded by Huben.
The legion's 50,000 infantrymen. And they were restrained by Cassimbas's 10,000 dead soldiers. If an army were suddenly killed, Haotian's situation would definitely be quite dangerous.
"Shensha City has been completely blocked by us, and there are no regular troops worshiping Beijing in the surrounding areas. Are we worrying in vain?" Haotian thought for a moment and said.
At present, only the regular army of Bai Jing is stationed in Shensha City, so Haotian dares to send out the Xue Kill and other legions with such confidence. If the defenders in Shensha City launch a surprise attack, they must go through ten thousand deaths of Bei Jing and Bai Jing.
The infantry position of the Huben Legion where soldiers fought. There were not many defenders in the city, and they could not threaten Haotian's own safety.
"You must be on guard..." Luo Xiang said. Before he could finish his words, there was suddenly a loud killing cry from the south side of Haotian's main camp, and flames shot into the sky. It was obvious that the logistics equipment at the back was accidentally ignited, and half of the sky was illuminated.
red.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, but Haotian's face was as dark as water. While thinking about what happened to the south, which actually ignited almost all the army's logistical equipment, he ordered the soldiers to go and investigate.
"It can't be the people in the cities around Baijing. If it is them, our spies will definitely not miss it, and they don't have such fighting power." Xuanji said flatly. Although the entire army was attracted by the battle ahead, but here
After all, it is an important logistics area, so Xuanji carefully arranged for three thousand infantrymen from the Ruch Division of the Huben Army to guard it.
Luo Xiang knew that Haotian must be filled with rage right now. Under such circumstances, the other party actually burned his logistics equipment on fire, which would make everyone angry. The only thing that comforted Luo Xiang was that because of the bloody killing, he found out
Cassimbas is a secret supply point near Changhua, so the military rations transported from Juyong Pass are still placed in Jinxiang City, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of Hetao troops would really not know what to do.
The soldiers soon returned preliminary news. About 20,000 soldiers from Beijing suddenly appeared from nowhere, secretly assassinated dozens of light and dark outposts in Hetao, and then set fire to attack. Due to the limited number of soldiers in Hetao,
Moreover, it is necessary to protect the safety of logistics supplies. If you lose sight of one thing, not only will you suffer heavy losses, but most of your food, grass, and strategic supplies will also be burned. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Huben Corps have very strong combat effectiveness and fighting will, facing the siege of the opponent's superior forces.
, the guard commander Guo Chu who was in charge immediately ordered three thousand soldiers to withdraw from the baggage camp and gather their troops to resist desperately.
Haotian said word by word: "I want to know how the soldiers who worshiped Beijing came out."
Xuanji thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, there is a mass grave not far from our baggage camp."
As soon as the word "grave mound" was spoken, Haotian and Luo Xiang immediately understood the mystery. When setting up camps during marching operations, the defensive power of the entire camp and the ability to respond to each other are often considered, so some troops are stationed in puddles.
, some are on the hillside, which is also normal. Although there are mass graves here, the soldiers in Hetao are not taboo about these at all. They are the ones who often send people to hell. They usually kill without blinking an eye, even the Bone Palace City.
If it can be built, there is nothing to be afraid of, so according to the arrangement of the army, the logistics equipment was placed here. This is the rear of the Hetao army, and it is theoretically quite safe. However, I did not expect that the Baijing army would actually build the tunnel.
After arriving here, the main force of the Hetao army left, and the rest of the army was attracted by the performance of the defenders of Shensha City. Therefore, the Baijing defenders who emerged from the tunnel immediately caused huge trouble to the Hetao side.
Xuanji said in a deep voice: "Lord, we must order the cavalry to return immediately for reinforcements. Guo Chu will not be able to stop us for long."
Haotian nodded solemnly, his eyes full of resentment. Even though he had an absolute advantage, he was caught off guard by Cassimbas. Haotian was naturally very unhappy. Seeing Xuanji emitting a firework signal, Haotian continued
Said: "Lianchen, you immediately lead three thousand soldiers to help Guo Chu stabilize the defense line."
"What are you going to do here, husband?" Xian Lianchen asked worriedly.
"With Mr. Xin Jiao here, there will be no problem. Don't worry, this should be Bai Jing's last resort. Moreover, six thousand soldiers are fully engaged in defense. If the opponent is allowed to easily break through the defense line, then I have nothing to say."
Haotian said calmly.
Although Xian Lianchen was very worried about Haotian's safety, what Haotian said made sense. Besides, if the other party was allowed to break through the defense line of the Hetao, Haotian's situation would be even more dangerous.
Xian Lianchen left in a hurry, and suddenly only Haotian, Luo Xiangxuanji, Xin Jiaoqiumu, and Zhang Yuewan were left on the observation deck of the Qingyun. Haotian still had his hands behind his back and his face was dull. Luo Xiang's eyes were shining, and no one was there.
I knew what he was thinking. But Zhang Yuewan and Qiu Mu were on the alert at the same time. This was the weakest anti-counterfeiting moment in Haotian's history, and they did not dare to take it lightly.
After receiving the fireworks order from Haotian, Wu Xiaolangjun and others did not dare to neglect it. Although they did not know what happened here in Haotian, they all knew that if it was not an emergency, Haotian would never let them go immediately.
Return aid.
When the soldiers from Beijing saw this, they immediately fought back with all their strength. They didn't know what happened to the Hetao army, but since the other party was so eager to withdraw, they naturally had to pounce on them and take a bite. Xue Qingcheng and others were worried about Haotian's safety.
, did not dare to stay, the three cavalry regiments plus the cavalry of the Huben Corps all returned.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the situation on Haotian's side. The infantry of the Huben Legion were bitten by the opponent's 10,000 dead soldiers, while Xian Lianchen and Guo Chu got the swing that hurriedly arrived.
With the help of Ping and Qi Pingzhi, they were able to block the opponent's attack of 20,000 dead soldiers.
