Chapter 734 Jizhou Army, a certain dissatisfaction
On the contrary, they are very excited and excited. With such a powerful master, will there be fewer opportunities to charge into battle in the future? One day, they who have made countless military achievements will receive countless medals and rewards, and they will fight for a huge victory for future generations.
Comes from family business.
Feng Xun rested for a little longer, but even though his breath was still a little uneven, it didn't stop him from calling his battalion commanders to reprimand him.
"What do you do for food? Have you seen the king and the five hundred Han generals? Look at how many people they killed and how many enemies they defeated. In comparison, as professional cavalry or heavy cavalry, don't you feel
Is it embarrassing?"
The battalion commanders all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Feng Xun, let alone Tang Ao and the Han generals who were resting not far away.
Before the battle, some people were still laughing at the Han generals. It was a piece of cake for them to have to ride horses to fight. Cavalry is not just a horse, it is a real cavalry. How many times of hard training is required?
How many times of training on horseback can one be considered a qualified soldier?
But this relaxation and ridicule now hit them hard in the face. When they saw that the king and the five hundred Han generals actually killed more people than them and defeated more enemies than them, a
No one dared to have the slightest contempt anymore, but only felt guilty and unwilling.
"Okay, whether you admit it or not, our Shanshan Guards are not as good as the Imperial Guards this time. After this battle, we will go back and give me a good practice. If I don't practice until my arms are red and swollen and can't be lifted, it won't be done. By then I will
The leader wants to see who else dares to be lazy."
"Yes, commander, please rest assured. I will definitely practice to death after I return. Anyone who gives in will not be a man of Shanshan Guard." Each battalion commander jumped up when stimulated, looking like they had reformed.
.
Everything that happened here fell into Tang Ao's eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be heavier. Feng Xun has grown up!
...
Jiangcheng.
He Lian was still trapped in the middle of the city with more than a thousand cavalry.
The nearby houses had been turned into a mess, and everything edible had been found and eaten.
In terms of food, we can still manage to survive. No matter how hard it is, we can still satisfy our hunger by killing war horses, but it is absolutely impossible without water.
The water wells in the city had been destroyed long ago. Without drinking water, the lips of the cavalry warriors were chapped and their eyes were dull.
As the leader of the clan, He Lianlian naturally still had water to drink. As early as the first moment he was trapped, he ordered his soldiers to put away everyone's water bags.
Despite this, after five days, the water bag was running out. Maybe he could still hold on for four or five days, but what about the cavalry warriors below? How long can they hold on?
The steamed horse meat was placed in the pot, and no one cared about it for a long time. The horse meat was too fishy, and drinking it would only make you thirstier. As a result, the horse meat was still there, but no one was eating it.
Boom boom... boom boom...
More than a thousand cavalrymen, who were leaning against the house to save their energy, stood up unconsciously when they heard the sound of horses treading the ground.
"It's the sound of war horses, numbering around ten thousand. Are our reinforcements coming?"
"It should be our reinforcements, but I don't know whether it is the rear army or the vanguard army."
"Hey, how did they pass through the city without entering?"
Those who can be here are all experts in equestrian skills. They know the direction of the horses very well. Only then can they judge the number of people and the direction based on the sound of horse hooves.
It was with this judgment in mind that when they heard the cavalry galloping past the city, each of the cavalrymen stood up and showed confusion.
Soon, some cavalrymen who reacted quickly began to yell, "Don't leave, we are in Jiangcheng, and the clan elders are also here."
"Don't go, we are in the city!"
There were shouts everywhere, and some people's throats were almost hoarse due to lack of water, but at this moment, they still shouted with all their strength.
It's just a pity that this is destined to have no results. It was Shanshan Guard who jumped over the city, not Helian Bingyong. Even if they heard the shouts, they would not pay attention. Compared to being trapped in the city, sooner or later they would be trapped.
After cleaning up He Lianlian, what they were more interested in was the 30,000 vanguard enemy cavalry.
The sound of galloping war horses lasted for more than an hour before it ended. The Helian soldiers started shouting loudly, then murmured to themselves later, and everyone's faces became paler. Although they didn't know what was happening outside.
Something happened, but their intuition told them that the situation was probably very bad.
He Lianjie didn't say anything from beginning to end, but his eyes were filled with grayness. He seemed to have foreseen the future of the Helian family...
...
A land eighty miles north of Tun County.
The 30,000 vanguard cavalry troops surrounded by groups finally couldn't help but start to break through.
A three-foot-long water-filled trench blocked the way, but this did not stop them from rushing out of the encirclement.
If the war horses can't get through, people can always get through. Abandoning the war horses, the soldiers of the Five Thousand He Company divided into ten groups and began to break through.
There was nothing we could do about it. We had been besieged for seven days, and all the dry food we had brought with us had been used up. If we didn't break out of the siege, we would be waiting for death.
Five thousand people breaking through the encirclement, in the final analysis, is just a test move. If it can be done, it will be best, they will find the central and rear troops and come to rescue. If not, run further away and get some wooden boards or thick
Tree trunks can also be used to form a bridge for them to ride out on horseback.
If this fails, it can also allow them to see the distribution of Jizhou Army's forces and find a suitable gap for the next large force to break through.
Breaking through? Shen Yunyi was already prepared.
Tang Ao left him with enough troops when he left. With only a few hundred thousand Korean captives, he could surround an area of thirty miles.
After receiving the report below and the enemy began to break through, hundreds of thousands of Korean prisoners of war began to counterattack with bows and arrows, shooting every enemy who swam across the trench to death on the way to the charge.
At the same time, the artillery of the firearms battalion was also providing long-range support. The enemy would often explode as soon as they ran over and swam across the trench, making them dizzy and weak on their feet.
The breakout of five thousand soldiers was like throwing a stone into the river. They only heard a sound and then no movement was found.
Maybe some of the 5,000 people survived, but definitely not too many, not on a large scale, and not able to turn around and save themselves. At this point, the breakout of the 5,000 people failed.
Xie Bai had a cold face. The changes in the battle situation in front of him were something he never expected. Although he had heard about the power of the Jizhou Army when he was in Heicheng, he did not put it in his eyes.
The reason why the Jizhou Army is powerful is that their weapons are more powerful. I heard that they have artillery that can hit opponents from several miles away. It is very powerful. I am afraid that this is what allows them to win repeatedly.
But despite their great power, they are not invincible. As long as the cavalry is fast enough, the distance is only a few miles. Once they rush past, they will become the masters of the battlefield and successfully seize the initiative.
For this reason, Xie Bai also ordered people to buy a lot of firecrackers from Jizhou in order to train the adaptability of riding a war horse. Although the sound of the firecrackers is a little quieter, as long as you get used to this sound, you will really be able to ride on the battlefield.
It won't be a mess when you put it on.
I thought I had done a lot of preparations, but I never expected that when I came to Jizhou, I just captured an empty city with no population, and then fell into a heavy siege. The advantage of the cavalry could not be used at all.
.
"What kind of battle is his grandma fighting? The Jizhou Army is not convinced." Xie Bai became angrier as he thought about it, and couldn't help but cursed loudly.
"Yes, Jizhou's army won without force." Helianlin also shouted angrily, venting his dissatisfaction.
Scolding and scolding, there are always only winners and losers on the battlefield. As a loser, you have no right to blame the winner, it is just unworthy.
"If five thousand doesn't work, then ten thousand. If it doesn't work during the day, then it will be dark. I don't believe we can't escape." Deputy General Jia Gan said with a dark face. Obviously, they will never give up until the last moment.
Neither Xie Bai nor Helianlin responded to Jia Gan's proposal. They didn't think it was a good idea. Such a breakthrough was just a tactic to add fuel to the fire, and in the end they would completely lose even their ability to compete.
.
"Two generals, we have no choice." Jia Gan couldn't help but said anxiously when he saw the two people were silent. The food and grass in his hands were getting less and less. If he kept waiting, he would not need to be attacked by the enemy.
He fainted from hunger, so where could he get his fighting strength?
If you continue to cut off, you will inevitably suffer from chaos.
Jia Gan's eyes were on the two generals with full expectation.
Neither Xie Bai nor Helianlin had the intention to make a decision. They had only been surrounded for seven days, which was not too long. Maybe it wouldn't be long before Helianjie arrived with reinforcements.
If a breakout is launched now, what will happen when reinforcements arrive? Without the cavalry, can they still gallop on the land of Jizhou?
The two of them had doubts, or said they couldn't bear such a big responsibility. At this moment, the air seemed to become quiet again.
"But..." Jia Gan knew what the two generals were worried about, but waiting was equivalent to waiting for death. Besides, seven days had passed and no reinforcements had arrived, which seemed to explain the problem.
He wanted to continue to dissuade him, but at this moment, Helianson, a young man, trotted into the temporary tent and said, "General, there is news."
"Oh? But we saw reinforcements." Xie Bai and Helianlin both asked excitedly.
"No." Heliansong shook his head, and then said: "There is news from the Jizhou Army. They said they will fight you to the death in three days, and the location will be directly south of our battlefield."
"The Jizhou Army wants to fight us?" Hearing the news, Xie Bai had doubts on his face.
