Just as Le Jin led his cavalry to charge up the city wall, a group of armored soldiers came up from the bottom of the city.
These were the two hundred armored soldiers favored by Jigao, who were all sent to the east gate to support them.
Leading this armored force was Gao Zhi, a Goguryeo general.
This man was covered in iron armor, and as soon as he rushed to the top of the city, he chopped off the legs of the cavalry's horses.
Due to the space problem and the obstacles set up by the defenses on the city, the impact speed of the cavalry army has been weakened, and it will be counterattacked by the fierce and fearless Han army's armored soldiers, and it will suddenly be unable to withstand it.
Seeing the left wing retreating steadily, Le Jin was extremely ashamed and angry.
He jumped off his horse, donned iron armor and rushed over with a ring-shaped sword.
Le Jin was not tall, and it was not obvious when he was fighting on horseback. Now when he was dismounted and fighting, he was directly shorter than the soldier next to him.
But when Le Jin wrapped his armor and charged, the soldiers around him shouted:
"Trapped! Trapped!"
Then he rushed forward with Lejin.
They have been with the general for a long time, and of course they know how much power is contained in this short body.
Sure enough, Le Jin was wearing iron armor, but he was completely unaffected and shuttled through the enemy formation like a stream of light.
The Huanshou sword in his hand was as gorgeous and smooth as a flower, and every blow was smeared into the fine crevices of the Han soldiers.
As Le Jin continued to advance, the cavalry's offensive on the left wing was stabilized and they began to advance in formation.
Gao Zhi became interested when he saw how ferocious the enemy general was. He also drew a ring-headed sword and saluted the opponent:
"Come by name, please fight with me in front of the battle array and live up to our reputation as warriors."
When Gao Zhi's poor Chinese came to Le Jin, Le Jin laughed.
He did not speak, but asked the soldiers and soldiers beside him to retreat, leaving a gap.
Although Le Jin didn't say much, he told the other party with actions:
"Come!"
Gao Zhi was already angered by the arrogance of the Han people opposite him.
He groaned, raised the knife in his hand on his right shoulder, and then jumped out like a gust of wind, taking the knife with him and striking Le Jin with an angry blow.
This Gao Zhi is indeed a bit skilled in martial arts. This attack was so fast that ordinary people couldn't even react.
But what about Le Jin?
Before the opponent could attack, he just saw the opponent's shoulder move, and Le Jin started running.
When Gao Zhi swung the blow diagonally, Le Jin actually jumped in front of the knife, and then twisted in the air to avoid it.
When the attack failed, Gao Zhi knew he was going to suffer.
Sure enough, as Le Jin was about to land, the Huanshou knife in his hand was inserted into Gao Zhi's temple.
The duck made of cowhide couldn't defend against this move at all, and was directly penetrated.
As Gao Zhi fell to the ground, Le Jin casually pulled out his Huanshou knife, and then shook the liquid on the knife.
The armored soldiers of the Han army on the opposite side were frightened by these martial arts and remained motionless.
Le Jin smiled contemptuously, pointed the knife in his hand towards the opposite side, and then led his men to charge forward.
Two moments later, the Han armor, unable to withstand the close combat of the cavalry, retreated along the horse path, leaving the city wall to the cavalry.
Le Jin, whose armor was in ruins, saw the defeated Han army below and the Taishan Army guards behind him climbing up the city, so he raised his sword and shouted:
"Take Dongcheng for me, Le Jin!"
As a result, on the entire east wall, countless Taishan Army armored men raised their swords and shouted:
"Le Jin, get trapped!"
"Le Jin, get trapped!"
In this way, Taishan's army was as powerful as a rainbow.
…
Under the canopy, as far as Zhang Chong could see, thousands of armies were competing against each other. Taishan's army was attacking like a tide, and Xuantu's army was defeated.
To the north, east, and west, the flags of each camp were placed on the top of Xuantu's city.
Countless fierce generals shouted their military names at this moment, adding another layer to their mighty military exploits.
Zhang Chong smiled happily, he liked this scene.
He became very interested and wrote down three flags directly, preparing to give them to the three armies that had just attacked the city.
The flags are written with:
"Haidong Iron Army!", "Songmo Victory Brigade", "Tongliao Xuanjia!"
These three flags carried Zhang Chong's excitement to three sides of the battlefield. On the road, teams of You Yi held up the battle flags and shouted:
"Your Majesty gives you the flag, and you will be victorious!"
"Your Majesty gives you the flag, and you will be victorious!"
At this time, the overall situation has been decided, and countless officials in the city shouted heartily:
"Wan Sheng!"
"Boom..., Long...".
Suddenly, a burst of thunder exploded in the air.
Zhang Chong, who was smiling just now, looked at the sky in the distance in surprise.
Suddenly, a drop of water fell on Zhang Chong's face.
Zhang Chong couldn't help but touch his face, his heart sank, and he looked solemnly at Xuantu City in front of him.
One drop, two drops, three drops... countless drops.
In a short period of time, the battlefield was covered by heavy rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and his vision was getting blurry. Zhang Chong's hands stopped in the air, and he made decisions over and over in his mind.
At this time, Tian Feng beside him finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, it's better to withdraw your troops with money! It's raining heavily, and the soldiers are fighting in this environment. Even if they capture Xuantu, they will fall ill a lot after the war. It's better to withdraw the troops first, since Xuantu is already in the bag anyway.
"
What Tian Feng said makes sense, so do you want to slow down?
Just when Zhang Chong was thinking this, a knight suddenly ran down from the front line.
With steam all over his body, he ran straight to Zhang Chong's canopy under the guidance of General Hengxing.
When he was still a hundred steps away from the canopy, the knight dismounted and ran towards him. His first words after arriving were:
"Your Majesty, the two military commanders on the west road have jointly requested orders to attack the city in the rain. I would like to issue a military order. Xuantu will be captured in two seconds."
As soon as the knight finished speaking, another knight ran into the military road. His armor was wet all over, but he was still enthusiastic and asked Zhang Chong for help:
"Your Majesty, our two armies on the east route have entered the city. We must not withdraw. Once we withdraw, our brothers in the city will die or not."
Finally, the nearest North Road Xinqi also rushed over, bringing the opinions of Yu Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Central Guard Army:
"Your Majesty, the military situation is like a fire. If we advance, we will not retreat. Today, let alone heavy rain or a knife, the three armies must capture Xuantu for Your Majesty."
At this time, Zhang Chong felt heavy, and he understood that this was the sincerity of the three armies.
Tian Feng next to him wanted to say more, but Zhang Chong waved his hand to stop him. He said to the strongman next to him:
"Drumhammer!"
The strongman hurriedly handed the drum hammer in his hand to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong weighed the drum hammer, looked around at the civil and military officials, and laughed boldly:
"The brothers in front of the battle are half-dead. As a king, I can't do much, so I just beat the drums and cheer for the brothers."
Then he ordered the three knights:
"You go back and tell Yu Jin, Xu Huang and the others to fight well and fight with confidence. God will not allow our army to defeat Xuan Tu today, so I will tell everyone that as long as everyone is united, man will defeat God!"
So, amidst the passionate beating of war drums, the three knights rushed straight into the various armies.
After that, the final preparations were launched from the west, north and east, and the torrential rain rolled into Xuantu City like a torrent.
…
The most critical time has come.
When the Taishan Army attacked Xuantu from three sides, the forward of the Liaodong Army had already reached Xiaoliaoshui.
Xiaoliao River, also called Hun River, originates from the eastern foothills of Changbai Mountain, flows into Liaodong from the southwest, passes through Xigaima and Xuantu County, passes through Liaoyang in the south, and flows into the Bohai Sea.
It can be said that Xiaoliao River is the northern barrier of Liaodong.
In fact, this is indeed the case. When the Taishan Army attacked Xuantu County City on the north bank of the Xiaoliao River, almost all of its sentries and cavalry stopped north of the Xiaoliao River.
So when the forward of the Liaodong Army arrived at the south bank of the Xiaoliao River, the Taishan Army knew nothing.
The forward of the Liaodong Army is a mixed force of Hu and Han, which is also a characteristic of the Liaodong region.
Although this place is a farming area, the Han people living here are generally infected with Hu customs and have a strong temperament and are good at riding and shooting.
It is precisely this characteristic that makes the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army not to be underestimated.
Leading this Hu-Han tribe was Gongsun Du's important general Liu Yi. The number of his troops was 2,000, and the armor rate was 60%. It was a typical Han army configuration.
But this unit has a special unit, which is the solemn and careful step.
This is the long-standing tradition of the Liaodong Army.
Because the Changbai Mountains were barren and difficult, a large number of Sushen people in the territory had to pay blood tax to the Han family in order to obtain food.
Because there are always a large number of Sushen people coming out to join the army, Liaodong County organized and trained a battalion specifically for these Yiding people, named Sushen Zhongbu.
The recruitment conditions for this battalion are very strict. All the soldiers are strong warriors from selected villages, and they are all tall and round.
After these people were selected into the camp, they were organized into a row of ten, with a flag leader, and then they all wore iron armor and had a hard-carrying bag. The front row died in battle, and the back row replaced them until all were killed.
In addition, these people are often equipped with hard bows and heavy arrows, which can shoot through the enemy's eyes within ten steps.
It can be said that everyone in Su Shen Zhong Bu is a real elite warrior and a killing machine.
For such a heavy step, Liu Yi has 500 people under his command, which is the real core weapon in his hands.
When Liu Yi arrived at the Hun River with two thousand former troops, he could still hear the fierce fighting on the other side.
This gave Liu Yi a huge illusion, that is, Xuantu was still holding on, and he could cross the river and join forces with Xuantu's army in the city.
It is not without reason that Liu Yi, as a surname outside the Gongsun family, is so trusted by Gongsun Du.
He caressed and caressed the soldiers, treating them equally regardless of whether they were Hu or Han. The soldiers often called out: "Aunt Liu!"
It is also because Liu Yi has the style of a famous general in ancient times that his subordinates are always willing to die in service. Coupled with these hard-working and war-resistant Su Shen Yi Ding, Liu Yi's battalion is often the first in Liaodong.
It can also be seen from this point that Gongsun Du really wanted to fight against Thailand, and he sent his powerful troops up.
The rain was heavy.
As the boat brought by Liu Yi entered the water, the first branch quickly stood firm on the other side.
Afterwards, Liu Yi personally took Su Shen onto the boat.
Ten hemp ropes crossed the muddy water. The master beside him kept pulling on the hemp ropes, and the boat moved forward little by little under his feet.
Liu Yi, wearing a bamboo hat and sitting on the boat, listened to the sound of rain and water, and stared at the north bank with a serious expression.
Suddenly he sighed, and a young general on his side, his son Liu Qing, asked in confusion:
"Father, how do you sigh like this?"
Liu Yi shook his head and said softly:
"Being a father is a sigh. After this battle, I don't know how many children from Liaodong will be able to follow my father back home."
Unexpectedly, his son listened and said nonchalantly:
"Life is like morning dew, fleeting. I don't know how many people have never seen the sun. If all our troops died on the other side today, it would be just like the shooting star, which will eventually appear."
"So Father General, we Liao people are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that no one will care."
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and nodded.
