The sky is clear at the west side of Lincheng, the Qinshui River beach.
“Well…”
Liu He drank the horse and gently pulled the horse's head. Not far ahead, the black cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army Marines were gathering into a vast ocean, like a cloud that was heavy on his heart, making him breathless.
The anger came, in front of the two armies, on the empty official road, the bodies of thousands of people were lying down in a row.
Most of the two thousand under Liu He's men have been killed, and he himself has been seriously injured and exhausted. There are only more than a hundred people around him. Similarly, the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army's Marine He also left behind more than a thousand corpses. They are human beings after all, and they are also
The flesh and blood body also has a time to run out of strength! From the late night yesterday to the dawn, we have been fighting for several hours. The long sword in the hands of the soldiers has been rolled up, snatching the enemy's weapons or picking up weapons from the corpses on the ground to continue
Fighting, rolling the blade again, grabbing and taking it again... Liu He can no longer remember how many long swords he has changed, let alone how many enemy troops he has killed in total.
A sticky blood slid from the forehead and slid into the sockets along the corner of his eyes. Liu He couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and then he felt dizzy in front of him. Just when he charged for the last time, a machete of a cavalryman was on his
He stroked his forehead and almost stabbed him down.
In front of the Xiaoguo Army, Xu Le slowly stepped out of the battle, his eyes firmly locked Liu He, who was covered in blood, and his eyes showed unstoppable admiration, and he shouted: "General Liu He, I respect you as a man."
, I can't bear to hurt each other, why not give up the sword and surrender and submit to my lord?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu He's mouth, crossed the sabre in his hand, and said, "General, don't say much, please let the horse come over. Liu He can only fight to the death."
Xu Le sighed and said, "Since General Liu insists on doing this, don't blame me for offending me."
The sky was quiet, calm and windless, and the inexplicable tragic and resolute turmoil in Liu He's tone. Liu He turned his head slightly, looking into the distance of the guard station on the west side, a faint regret flashed through his eyes, and more than a dozen of them joined the guards.
Year, today, has finally come to an end.
"The whole army is ready and charge!"
The next moment, at Liu He's order, more than a hundred guard cavalry raised the saber in their hands again.
Xu Le sighed lonelyly, raised his hand and waved it forward gently, and shouted coldly: "Be prepared for the bow and arrow!"
Not far away, Liu He shouted lightly, and the war horse under his crotch neighed and threw away his four hooves and rushed towards Xu Le's army. The sky gradually emitted a ray of light under the sunrise in the east sky, causing Liu He to have more than a hundred people.
, it looks particularly desolate.
"kill!"
"Kill kill..."
Liu He's eyes were ferocious, and the slashing saber in his hand was getting higher and higher.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Xu Le stopped shouting, and the dense wolf-toothed arrows shot towards more than a hundred guard cavalry...
Liu He opened his eyes angrily, and raised his long sword and tried to cut it, but unfortunately, this could not be cut off. The dense wolf-toothed arrows, like locusts, shot him and his riding into a hedgehog. More than a hundred people behind him were also
In the same way, become a personal hedgehog.
"Puu..." Then three people continued, like dumplings, and the more than a hundred cavalry fell to the ground, leaving no sound.
Xu Le quietly looked at the bodies of more than a hundred soldiers, shook his head and sighed, and said in a calm voice: "Come here, Zhang Heng, leave two thousand soldiers to save the aftermath, and understand the whole army, and do not desecrate the bodies of the soldiers of the enemy and our army. We must
The bodies of the guards were buried with more than a thousand soldiers who died in our army! Although they are our enemies, they are real soldiers, and real soldiers will always deserve our respect."
…………
Hu Yi was not interested in fighting and led 800 remaining soldiers to retreat to the East Dynasty in a panic. Because he was not on the same straight line with Liu He to rescue the cavalry, he did not meet. However, the shouts of killing from the reinforcements were foreseeable, Liu He
The two thousand cavalrymen were intercepted and even encountered ambush.
According to his guess, all the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Guards died in this battle. Without cavalry, the whole army would collect food. Without cavalry, the infantry would encounter Xiaoguo Army at any time when they left the city.
If an attack is gone, the guards will be suppressed in full swing and can only be trapped in the city. But without reinforcements and food, how can you defend the city?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a torch ahead, and a team of hundreds of people came in a fierce manner. The two armies collided on the official road. Hu Yi sighed, and was about to cheer up and lead the army to fight to the death, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of this
The armor of the cavalry looked familiar. After taking a closer look at the fire, it turned out to be his own guard.
"Stop!" Hu Yi was shocked and said with a voice: "I am Hu Yi, the chief general of the guard. Who are you waiting for? How could you get here?"
"General? It's really a general!" The hundreds of people rushed over in a mess, and rushed to Hu Yi and knelt down on the ground, crying: "General, Yangcheng... Yangcheng is lost!
”
"Ah? Yangcheng is lost!" Hu Yi fainted, calmed down, and asked anxiously: "How could it be lost? There are two thousand cavalry... In addition to the cavalry, there are five thousand soldiers! How could it be lost?
What about it?"
"General, two thousand cavalry heard that the general was hiding, so they went to rescue him. After the cavalry left the city, Zhao Xun personally led 8,000 troops to attack the Ximen. The guard of the Ximen surrendered, and the remaining general Wei Qiang and Wei committed suicide at the east gate.
The whole city fell." Qu Chang said in tears.
"Let's go, I'll go east!" Hu Yi took a few deep breaths and said tiredly.
…………
Zhao Xun rode his horse into the city, and looked at the yellow and thin people and guard soldiers on both sides of the streets in the city, and couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at the little fear of the people at the Marine soldiers, Zhao Xun frowned slightly.
"Send an order to unify the surrendered guards in the city in the military camp, and we arrange food."
"The order was sent to let the soldiers of the personal guards take over the whole city, and the soldiers of the Marine Army were not allowed to appear in the city at will. Let the original county magistrates and local officials here come to help and appease the whole city, and let the baggage battalion transport food immediately and distribute it to the people in the city.
.”
"Report to the Grand Commander, 10,000 cavalry of the Guards were ambushed and completely wiped out by our army! The Guards' chief general Hu Yi, as planned, let him meet in the East."
"Okay! Very good! I will remember all the soldiers who have made meritorious service! I will send orders to rest and immediately move to the city of Dongchao!"
The surrendered officer of the Guards not far behind Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard this, and unconsciously, his body was slightly hunched.
Now the entire Dongchao City is in silence, with only eight thousand cavalry left and only eight hundred soldiers escaping. It can be said that the entire army has been killed. In addition, the two thousand cavalry in Yangcheng are also trapped in the hands of the Xiaoguo Army, so all the cavalry have not been
In order to grab grain, Hu Yi gathered all the cavalry in the three cities together and dispatched the entire army. If these cavalry were destroyed, it would mean that it would be impossible to quickly leave the city and grab grain at that time.
.
In addition, Yangcheng fell, and the roads to the north of the guards were blocked. To the east, the sea, west, and south were all Xiaoguo Army. Now the northern road has been cut off, so they can be said to be in a jar.
"Person Liu, who sent an order to the Yangcheng cavalry, saying that I was in a hiding place and asking for support?" Hu Yi asked in a muffled voice. After he was in a hiding place, he did not ask for help at all. Even if he was in a hiding place, it would be impossible for him to be so.
quick.
Chief Liu, who was also fleeing, was stunned when he heard this and said, "Aren't you a soldier under the general? By the way, he should be the captain of the general's personal guards, and it is Xu Yan!"
"Xu Yan? Well? Isn't he physically ill, can't he act randomly? Damn it! Come on, pass on Xu Yan!"
A moment later, the soldiers replied: "Report to General, Captain Xu left the city shortly after the general left the city last night and had not returned yet!" Hu Yi was stunned, and then realized that Xu Yan was afraid that he would go after he sold him.
Xiaoguojun.
"The Xiaoguo Army is really amazing! Even the personal guard officers around me can buy it! Our every move is under the eyes of the Xiaoguo Army! No wonder... No wonder we have been under the control of the Xiaoguo Army every time we take action.
Next, he was repeatedly blocked." Hu Yi said with a wry smile.
"General, since the Xiaoguo Army has set up a ambush of our cavalry and Yangcheng at the same time, then the Xiaoguo Army's heavy city Lincheng is not empty in defense? Why don't we attack Lincheng? There are all the logistics supplies of the Xiaoguo Army. General, it's a battle
Even if you die, you can’t starve to death!” A general suggested.
"This... Since the Xiaoguo Army can set up our cavalry and Yangcheng, how can Lincheng be unprepared?" Hu Yi frowned.
"General, even if you are prepared, there will not be too many defenders. We have more than 10,000 infantry troops here. If we break through Lincheng, we will get rid of this encirclement. In any case, it is better than starving to death!"
Hu Yi frowned and shouted in a muffled voice: "Okay, the army gathers together and attacks Lincheng immediately! Even if it fails, he will die in the battle. As for the Eastern Dynasty, it is useless to stay, so he will abandon it!"
Immediately, nearly 10,000 soldiers from the Eastern Dynasty immediately took action and headed towards Lincheng.
…………
"What? The Eastern Dynasty Guards rushed towards Lincheng?" Zhao Xun was stunned when he heard the Hawkeye Secret's return. His original plan was that a large army would gather in the Eastern Dynasty and force the landing to the other side.
"This Hu Yi is really brave! If Lincheng hadn't explained it, I'm afraid there might be problems."
"Tell Han Meng that unless the governor comes in person, I will defend the city to the death."
"Send an order to let the cavalry on the Qinshui River beach immediately attack Lincheng and fight with the guards in the field! Let the infantry of Hu Xiang immediately enter Dongchao City, appease the people, and distribute food." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
road.
"Wei Dong, I will hand over this Yangcheng to you. You don't need to do too much, just appease the people! This governor personally went to solve the problem of this general of the guard."
…………
After noon, Hu Yi's troops rushed to Lincheng without stopping.
"This is Lincheng! Brothers, take Lincheng, eat and drink!" After a while of rest, Hu Yi immediately ordered the siege. Although there were no heavy weapons, there were still many ladders.
Lincheng city.
"Want to attack the city? Although there are only five thousand soldiers here, if you want to break through this city, don't think about it!" Han Meng's expression calmly. He pulled out his horizontal knife, raised it over the top, and shouted: "The whole army is ready, the archers are out! Get ready!
”
Amid the rapid footsteps, a thousand shield soldiers and two thousand archers rushed to the back of the female wall, facing the enemy soldiers swept like a tide outside the city wall, and looked calm and motionless as a mountain.
In addition, there were more than a thousand temporary recruits of young and strong men, each holding long bows and appeared behind the female wall tremblingly.
"kill……"
Amid the shouts of landslides and tsunamis, the six thousand guard infantry soldiers were arranged in a slightly messy and orderly formation, and they rushed forward. One thousand heavy infantrymen were running in the front. They were suicide squads, and their only function was to be arranged in a block.
Walls, withstood attacks from defenders' bows and arrows, rolling stones and wood and even tincture oil!
Three thousand light infantry carried a cloud ladder on their shoulders and followed the heavy infantry with their shields. They were the main force in the city capturing the city, and finally two thousand archers responsible for covering and suppressing them.
Perhaps because he knew that this was a life-and-death moment, the guard soldiers became even more crazy and moved more quickly.
On the Lincheng City Tower.
Han Meng's raised right arm seemed to have been petrified, and it was motionless. Nearly three thousand archers stared at the sword in Han Meng's hand. Han Meng's sword in his hand did not fall, so they would never dare to shoot an arrow without any chance.
Allow the heavy infantry of the Guard to rush within a hundred steps like a tide.
"General, the enemy's light infantry has rushed within a hundred steps!" Because Han Meng is now staying in Lincheng, he is also the general of Lincheng.
"General, the enemy's heavy infantry has rushed to the trench!"
"General. The enemy's archers have entered within a hundred steps!"
It was this moment that he was waiting for! A trace of cold murderous intent flashed in Han Meng's eyes, and he raised his sword and waved it forward with force, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow..."
"Swish swish swish swish..."
Nearly three thousand archers suddenly filled the long bows, and sharp wolf-toothed arrows were already on the strings. The next moment, the sharp whistle sounded endlessly, and arrows as dense as locusts poured out from the city tower.
Next, he ruthlessly landed among the surging guards.
The endless howling sounds suddenly rang through the sky, and the guards fell down one by one, especially the archers following the last, with heavy casualties! Han Meng did not use his troops according to common sense and deliberately let go of the heavy infantry and light infantry in front of him.
Not shooting is to shoot the two thousand archers in the Guards. Zhao Xun once said that when the momentum is evenly matched, killing the opponent as much as possible will greatly damage one's own side, and it can even change the winning and losing formation.
The troops are willing to pay even if they pay a certain price. The archers in the city are all archers. They are good at shooting archery, but they are not used to using shields to defend. To defend the city requires guarding four gates, but the opponent only needs to attack a little.
