Chapter seven hundred and sixty second Jizhou army blocking the road
It took more than a month of hard work to capture Lancheng, but it soon changed hands. Although this was because the Qingwang coalition forces had just entered the city and everything had not stabilized yet, it was really surprising that it was lost so quickly.
The news returned by Feiqiao was very fast. In less than an hour, Tang Ao knew what happened in Lan City, and then he couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking like he couldn't believe it.
He had already known the news about the Xuanjia Army setting up an ambush outside the city from Fei Qiao, but in his opinion, the most it could do was to severely damage King Qing's coalition forces, and it was nothing more than letting King Qing stay in Lan City and not dare to attack in Lancheng.
Just move forward.
Now it seems that he still underestimated the changes on the battlefield, or overestimated the performance of the Qing King's coalition forces.
"Send the order, all armies will enter the designated positions immediately. The battle is probably coming soon." When he thought that the Qing King's coalition forces lost Lancheng, they might retreat in large strides, and they would encounter him, he knew that,
After more than a month of rest, the war finally came.
After the order was issued, the Jizhou Army became busy immediately. Each army entered the position and made various preparations before the war.
Lancheng has completely changed hands. Not only that, Le Ming and Tai Lei are still leading the army in pursuit. In the process, they also grabbed some horses from the Qing King's coalition forces. A cavalry was hastily formed and came to cover up the attack.
The pursuers behind them are getting closer and closer. Although there are not many in number, there is no time to establish a defensive line. Even though the Qingwang coalition has a numerical advantage, they are unable to stop them. All they can do is to escape again and again.
Just run away.
For this reason, they dropped their weapons, the army's baggage and food, and...
Relying on the speed of their horses, the foreign cavalry were naturally the fastest to escape. Many of them didn't even know what was happening and just blindly followed the army.
As soon as the retreat trend appeared, it became very difficult to stop. The soldiers could not be found, and the soldiers could not find the generals. The army retreated rapidly under the threat of the general situation. It took nearly more than a day to
When they arrived thirty miles east of Jincheng and saw the Jizhou Army already in formation, the foreign cavalry who were the first to flee had to stop their flight.
"It's the Jizhou Army! Send someone immediately to identify themselves and ask them to make way for us." General Ashina Shan of the Luolu tribe who fled here first saw that there were only two thousand cavalry behind him, so he finally gave up.
He planned to charge directly into the battle.
That's how aliens are. When they are strong, they won't talk to you about any rules. They will swarm you and talk with their fists.
Only when he feels weak will he reason with you, salute you, and act very honest and well-behaved.
After receiving the order, a centurion in the army rode straight towards the formation of the Jizhou army. When he was 250 steps away from the Jizhou army, a loud shout rang in his ears, "
Stop anyone who comes."
But the centurion didn't seem to hear the shout. Perhaps he thought the distance was too far and some of his words were unclear, so he wanted to get closer.
"Stop those who come, but those who cross the red line in front will be killed without mercy!"
The voice shouted again, and a clear red line was drawn on the ground, which was exactly two hundred steps away.
It is a pity that this centurion is still indifferent, as if he is deaf, and still goes his own way.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow came out of thin air and shot straight through the air.
Then he shot the foreign centurion who was riding on the horse. An arrow hit his chest, and he fell off the horse with a thud.
If you look carefully, you will find that the opponent's horse has just crossed the red line.
"How dare he!" Ashina Shan saw this scene while riding on his horse, and his eyes turned red immediately.
He is a member of King Qing's coalition. Aren't King Qing and King Ji currently in a state of alliance? Why would they attack their own people? What on earth are they going to do?
Ashina Shan didn't know what he wanted to do, and he didn't dare to make any assumptions. He just intuitively told him that it was not a good thing.
Boom~Boom~Boom~
Just when Ashina Mountain's eyes were filled with blood-red color, the iron shells moved forward one after another and began to line up in an orderly manner on the battlefield.
When Tang Ao sent troops from Jizhou, the chariot battalion did not follow. But during the subsequent slow march of Tang Ao, the chariot battalion accelerated. The modified chariot was broken down into sections.
, they will be put together when used, which is more conducive to transportation.
The reason why we did not bring a chariot battalion at the beginning was because we did not want to put pressure on the Qingwang coalition forces. Otherwise, if the other side did not underestimate the Jizhou Army, many of the subsequent plans would not be realized.
And as the Shanshan Guard Company destroyed the Luolu tribe and the Bahan tribe, the fangs of the Jizhou Army were finally exposed. Naturally, there was no need to hide anything. The Chariot Battalion also rushed day and night to catch up with Tang Ao.
The main force of the Jizhou Army he led became one of them.
The appearance of the Iron Shell Chariot Battalion indicates that Tang Ao and Prince Qing finally parted ways at this moment. Or it can be said that they have never united and never truly fought together.
In fact, from the moment King Qing was willing to join forces with the foreign cavalry, he was already sentenced to death in Tang Ao's heart.
For a person who always talks about the alienation of people who are not from our race, the most distasteful thing for Tang Ao is for foreigners to send troops into the land of Daqian. This time, King Qing actually united with the foreign cavalry, which is equivalent to fighting with others.
How could Tang Ao let go of such a pickpocketing man who worked together to steal his own things?
If you didn't take action before, you were just waiting for an opportunity. Now that the coalition forces have been severely damaged by the Xuanjia Army, and they are at their weakest, it is natural that the Jizhou Army will show up.
The Jizhou Army set up their formation, including sky-blasting artillery, thunder catapults, and iron-clad chariots. On the opposite side, the so-called second cavalry of the coalition also rushed over.
It was the Tian cavalry headed by Tian Sangong who came. Their number was larger, nearly ten thousand people. As soon as they appeared, Ashina Mountain became confident and raised his finger towards the Jizhou Army three miles away.
, said in a brazen tone, "Tian Clan Elder, the Jizhou Army dared to kill so-and-so's centurion. This clearly regarded us as enemies and asked Tian Clan Elder to send troops to help so-and-so."
As if he was afraid that Mr. Tian would not agree, Ashina Shan added: "Our Luolu Department has recorded this kindness."
"Jizhou Army? Blocked the road? Killed your centurion?" Tian Sangong said with an unhappy expression.
Tian Sangong did not have a clear impression of the Jizhou Army, but he still knew something about Tang Ao.
When this man was still the Duke of the country, he led thousands of rangers to severely inflict heavy damage on Daman. It was a pity that he was not there at the time, otherwise, he would have given him a good look.
He didn't seize the opportunity last time, and now the Jizhou Army was in front of him again. When he looked around and saw that the people on the opposite side were basically infantry and no cavalry, his face showed
Arrogantly, he said, "Okay, even if Brother Shan said this, I will definitely avenge you. Come on, prepare to charge. Charge the enemies in front of you. By then, all the captures will be ours."
That’s it.”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
When they heard that they could be proud of the capture, the nearly ten thousand Tian's cavalry all shouted in unison, with a roar like thunder and looked very mighty.
After receiving Tian Sangong's support, Ashina Shan was also very excited. He also raised the scimitar in his hand and said loudly to the two thousand cavalry behind him: "Boys of the Luolu Department, it's time for us to show our performance.
kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The momentum was also overwhelming. After shouting kill several times, more than ten thousand cavalrymen galloped forward under the leadership of their general.
Compared with the number of people, the cavalry with only more than 10,000 people is naturally not as good as the Jizhou Army. But they are cavalry, and they are all elite cavalry. In terms of combat power alone, even 50,000 or more infantry will not be put in their eyes.
The cavalry came galloping, and the distance of three miles was just a fleeting moment for the cavalry's attack. The Jizhou Army naturally knew this truth, and they launched a counterattack the moment the cavalry launched their charge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bronze sky-blasting cannon roared loudly.
Boom boom! Boom boom! Boom boom!
The thunder catapults also made sounds unique to them.
A hundred iron-clad chariots also had countless arrow holes opened from the inside, and Shen's small serial crossbows arrived one after another, shooting down the enemy cavalry that rushed forward one by one.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the earth trembled. Just for a moment, many cavalrymen showed panic-like expressions on their faces.
This battlefield was chosen by Tang Ao for a long time. Compared with other places, the road is much narrower, which is more conducive to the concentrated firing and coverage of artillery. And if it is on a wide plain, the power is only
Primary artillery still has many disadvantages against cavalry.
But in such terrain, the power of thunder is enough to appear.
They have seen the power of sky thunder. When they attacked the city, King Qing's army used it frequently. The heavy wooden city gate exploded open. It was really a shocking thing.
But using the same good thing on the enemy and using it on oneself are completely different things. When those thunderbolts hit the center of the cavalry and exploded, a feeling of unspeakable pain immediately spread throughout the body.
What's even more terrible is that the sky thunder of the Jizhou Army seems to be more powerful, much higher than the sky thunder of the Qing King Army they have seen. Every time it explodes, dozens of dozens or even more cavalrymen are killed.
Are you kidding me? Tang Ao originally created Tianlei. Although the secret recipe was stolen, other vassals and forces just copied it. Tang Ao was not the same. He continued to improve the secret recipe of Tianlei.
In terms of power and power, the Jizhou military currently uses only three generations of sky thunder, so how can the first generation sky thunder in the hands of King Qing be comparable.
Explosions continued to sound, and waves of air knocked over a strange knight.
