The Tatar general disdainfully allocated a thousand cavalry to stop this group of enemy troops. As soon as the trumpet sound of the order sounded, "Huhuhuhuhu", a thousand cavalry rushed towards the west. Update soon. Jiang Tao's face and expression looked at the whistling.
Thousands of cavalry came, but the soldiers below were not as calm as Jiang Tao. Although they had seen blood before, they had beaten low-level bandits. Now they had to resist the charge of the Tatar cavalry. Many people were a little frightened.
But their officers were extraordinarily calm. They had all fought against the barbarians, so they looked at the charge of the Tatar cavalry with disdain. The soldiers felt a lot more at ease when they saw the officers around them like this. Jiang Tao looked into the distance.
After appraising the number of Tatar cavalry, I felt a little worried.
There were only about a thousand riders coming, which meant that Jinzhou City would face an attack from four thousand ferocious Tatars. Jiang Tao didn’t know if Jinzhou could withstand it, but there was no other way now. He silently put away these complicated things.
Jiang Tao focused on the battle situation in front of him.
After roughly calculating the distance, Jiang Tao began to give orders. The Hungry Wolf Army had already figured out a rough method to deal with the cavalry. In fact, this method is also very simple. First attack with a short spear and then resist forcefully. But this simple method is
The most useful thing is that as long as the infantry can withstand the charge of the cavalry, the outcome is 50-50.
Of course, this method has very high requirements for the infantry. They have to fight to death in order to withstand the charge of the cavalry with their lives. The Tatars are not as careless as the Mongols. After entering the battlefield, they draw their bows and fire arrows one after another. Jiang Tao is not
The team that Yu Feng pulled together did not have that luxury.
The infantry did not have any effective protective gear at all, so when the first wave of arrows came over, many people screamed and fell in a pool of blood. In this case, the requirements for the soldiers were very high, because they did not know what the arrow clusters flying over would be like.
The most terrifying thing is not to be left unknown. If a soldier can't stand the pressure and turns around and runs away, the effect will soon be achieved.
Seeing their companions fall to the ground, many of the soldiers' faces turned pale. The officers yelled loudly and asked the people behind to fill the positions below. The condition formed over a long period of time made these scared soldiers follow the officers' orders and fill in the positions.
But eventually there was some confusion.
Seeing this, Jiang Tao frowned, but he sighed in his heart that he was still young after all. If it were the Hungry Wolf Army in the past, this situation would never have happened. What made Jiang Tao even more troubled was the second wave of arrows.
After that, someone finally couldn't stand the inexplicable pressure and threw away his weapon, turned around and ran away. Many soldiers were moved when they saw it.
But the officer next to him appeared like a ghost behind the soldier who turned around and stabbed him to death with a knife. The officer turned around and shouted with a ferocious face: "This is what you get for being a deserter." After yelling, the officer was still resentful.
He looked hatefully at the few soldiers who had just moved. The soldiers were stared at by the military camp and were afraid that the officer's knife would stab them.
The same thing happened several times. These soldiers found that these approachable officers seemed to be different people, and each one had a ferocious look on his face. "Don't be afraid...", "Hold still..." the officers shouted.
The soldiers gradually felt at ease as the sound continued. If they retreated to death, they could only have a chance of survival by staying where they were.
At this time, the third wave of arrow rain had already fallen into the soldiers. The soldiers who were hit by the arrows kept falling in a pool of blood. The soldiers behind them filled the vacant positions without any hesitation this time. Many soldiers were holding back their breaths and were so passive.
The situation of being beaten was too unbearable. Their eyes were red and they looked at the Tatar riders who were getting closer and closer, but they couldn't help but start cursing.
This method helped to relieve the tension in the hearts of the soldiers, so the officers did not intervene. As they got closer, the Tatar cavalry finally entered the firing range of the short spears. The officers did not hesitate to order: "She...she...
She..." It was their turn to counterattack. The soldiers held their breath, then took out their short spears and threw them at the Tatar cavalry.
These short spears fell into the charging Tatar cavalry in a parabolic shape. Many Tatar cavalry were hit one after another. The bodies that were shot were struck and they fell down with a cry and were trampled to pulp by the cavalry behind them.
What was even worse was that the horse was thrown to the ground and trampled to death by the cavalry behind it.
The Tatar cavalry began to draw their bows to fight back, and then began to adjust the distance between their companions. Whether it was short spears or feather arrows, they were sharp weapons against dense formations. If the team was spread apart, they would not have much effect and would not cause much damage.
But the Tatar cavalry can do this, but Jiang Tao cannot. Because the only way to stop the cavalry is the dense formation of infantry.
The short spears kept pouring towards the charging Tatars, and the arrows of the Tatar cavalry also kept falling on the infantry on the opposite side. As soon as the battle began, there was no prelude and it went directly to the main point. Finally, the Tatar cavalry put away their weapons.
Bow drew out his scimitar and rushed towards the infantry on the opposite side.
"Get up...", "Get up...", "Get up..." The officer kept shouting and the spears were raised. In the blink of an eye, the Tatar cavalry was faced with a sea of spears. The Tatars
Seeing this, the cavalry had no time to slow down and ran over. The weight of the man and the horse caused the two infantrymen to fall directly backwards and fell to the ground with blood pouring from their mouths. The soldiers behind them took a step forward and filled the two newly vacated positions.
.
The war horses are very sensitive and instinctively sense the danger ahead. Many war horses take the initiative to run in both directions in front of the spear formation. Regardless of how the cavalry in Guanbei controls them, they can't get these war horses to return to their original track. The cavalry behind them should pay attention.
At this point, the constant acceleration gave the war horse no time to react.
Wave after wave of impact caused the front of the spear array to be dented. But as time went by, the dented part was constantly being bounced back. Many Tatar cavalry shouted and wanted to attack from both sides, but they were also greeted by a wave of attacks.
Row after row of spears. The soldiers' fear at the beginning has been thrown out of the sky. Now they are desperately thrusting out the spears in their hands. Seeing more and more Tatar cavalry falling to the ground, the morale of the soldiers is getting higher and higher.
Liu Tong of the Jinzhou City Wall persuaded with sincerity: "You two adults, it is dangerous here, please go down." However, Yu Hui and Tang Tong did not listen to Liu Tong's words and still refused to move. Yu Hui and Tang Tong were not afraid, on the contrary, they were very
Scared, but now the fate of the two of them has been tightly tied to Jinzhou.
In order to boost their morale, the two of them refused to leave. Sure enough, the arrival of Yu Hui and Tang Tong made many soldiers feel at ease. Their little thoughts were forgotten. Yu Hui said: "General Liu, don't worry about us. You can do whatever you want."
Just mind your own business." After hearing this, Liu Tong looked at the two people's expressions and knew that he couldn't persuade them, so he was about to turn around and leave.
"What is that?" Tang Tong's voice attracted Liu Tong's attention. Liu Tong looked in the direction of Tang Tong's finger. He could only see the smoke and dust in the sky. Liu Tong said with a happy face: "There's a fight over there.
..." After speaking, Liu Tong pointed in that direction and shouted: "The army is coming to rescue us."
The soldiers on the city wall looked over one after another, but could see nothing except the smoke and dust in the sky. But Liu Tong swore that these soldiers also chose to believe it. Yuhui lowered his voice and asked: "Where did the smoke and dust in General Liu's place come from?
Army?" Liu Tong said: "Master Yu, the smoke and dust in the sky can only be rolled up by the cavalry charge, so there must have been a fight over there."
After finishing speaking, Liu Tong continued to speak: "You two adults, stay here and don't wander around." After saying that, he turned and left to inspect. Now there were troops and Tatars fighting outside. Liu Tong understood that now is the time.
At the critical moment, you must defend Jinzhou. If Jinzhou has changed hands by the time reinforcements arrive, you will really regret it.
The Tatar cavalry with a thousand dismounts were rapidly approaching the Jinzhou City Wall. These Tatars had excited faces and rushed forward as hard as chicken blood. Liu Tong forced himself to calm down when he saw the Tatars entering.
After shooting, he ordered to shoot arrows. One after another, he met the weak and charging Tatars.
Liu Tong took out hundreds of boxes of bows and arrows from the warehouse in Jinzhou. However, there were no qualified archers. Many soldiers were rushing to learn how to use them. That's why the scene just happened. There were only a few bows and arrows in the box.
An unlucky Tatar was shot, and the rest of the people continued to rush towards him.
When Liu Tong saw this, he almost yelled. But in the end, he endured it. Now was not the time to lose his temper. Although Liu Tong didn't say it, the archers looked ashamed after seeing their own achievements. After seeing Liu Tong not blaming him, they felt in their hearts.
He kept cheering himself up.
Liu Tong knew that this was not an option and ordered the attack to stop. The Tatars did not have huge siege equipment and did not have that much manpower. So when they saw the moat under the city wall, they jumped directly. Liu Tong
Look at the right moment and order the archers to shoot arrows.
Being so close and condescending, many Tatars were hit by arrows and fell into the water. The blood slowly dyed the drinking water red. The Tatars also began to fight back, but they were stopped because they had to shoot upwards.
Therefore, the intensity of the counterattack was very weak. Those who saw the Tatars below began to fight back against the city wall did not dare to be careless and immediately erected wooden planks. "Ding, ding, ding," clusters of arrows shot from below continued to hit the plank, and occasionally there were still arrows.
The tufts passed through the gaps between the planks and then entered the soldiers' bodies.
The Tatar camp seemed very deserted because the army had left. There were only about two hundred people left in the huge camp. The people on duty were cursing because no one inside was drinking, and they could only drink here.
There is inevitably some resentment.
But suddenly they met the Tatars who were on guard and fell into a pool of blood. Then a cavalry appeared outside the camp. These cavalry skillfully rushed to the camp gate, hung the rope on the camp gate, and turned their horses' heads.
He began to drive his war horse and kept running. The camp door opened with a "dong" sound.
The sound of people falling to the ground just now did not attract the attention of the people inside. They were already drunk. But the loud noise of the camp door being opened finally woke them up. Many people woke up and shouted "no" and then picked up the bends.
The knife rushed outside. As soon as he left the camp, the drunkenness he had just barely suppressed flooded into his heart.
"Dong dong dong dong..." It was the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground. Then these Tatars saw the overwhelming black mass rolling towards them. The Tatars who rushed out were either killed or beaten by war horses.
He was killed. More and more black cavalry came in. Many Tatars saw this and knew it was bad, so they began to flee.
The rolling torrent continued to clean every corner of the camp, and then torches were kept on the ground. Soon the flames began to rise, and soon there were fires and billowing black smoke. The black cavalry finished setting off
After the fire, they quickly retreated, leaving only the fire in the sky and corpses on the ground.
The movement in the camp was quickly noticed. Many Tatars were shocked. Because all the food and grass were in the camp, the consequences of the camp being on fire would be disastrous. The Tatar general soon learned of the news and cursed inwardly.
He also knew that burning the camp was a serious matter. The camp could not be burned for no reason. The only possibility was that someone set the fire on fire.
After thinking about it, the Tatar general was furious. His previous analysis believed that the troops that harassed them all the way should belong to Jinzhou and now they should be in Jinzhou. But when the camp in the rear caught fire, he understood his previous estimate.
Wrong. The army did not enter the city at all but stayed outside.
The Tatar general quickly weighed the pros and cons. Jinzhou could not escape before his eyes, so he ordered a retreat. He secretly swore in his heart that he must capture that army. The retreat horn sounded and quickly spread to the walls of Jincheng.
The Tatars under the city wall were stunned and didn't know why the retreat horn sounded at this time.
However, they still chose to obey the order and began to retreat towards the back. Liu Tong of the city wall naturally noticed the light of fire and billowing black smoke in the distance and was determined. The soldiers of the city wall began to cheer after seeing the Tatars below retreating.
Get up. Soon the cheers rise to the sky.
Seeing the Tatars withdrawing and hearing the cheers of the soldiers on the city wall, Yu Hui and Tang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. When the Tatars attacked the city just now, they both secretly sweated.
For the first time, the two of them felt that life was so beautiful. They heard the deafening cheers from the city wall and smiled on their faces.
The sound of the horn reached the Tatar cavalry, who were in a bitter fight to the west, and chose to retreat without any hesitation. The Tatar cavalry arrived and left as quickly as they arrived. The Tatar cavalry retreated before Jiang Tao could understand the situation. Jiang Tao's situation was inexplicable.
At that time, I finally spotted the flames and billowing black smoke in the distance.
Jiang Tao quickly calculated in his mind that it was impossible for any other Qin troops to appear around Jinzhou. It could only be Yu Feng. After thinking about it, Jiang Tao said, "It's your lord who's coming. It's your lord who's coming." Hearing that it was Yu Feng,
As soon as they came and repelled the charge of the Tatar cavalry, the soldiers began to cheer.
Jiang Tao still ordered very calmly and quickly: "Leave some people to take care of the wounded soldiers, and the rest will follow me towards the Tatar camp." Jiang Tao's decision can be said to be very bold, if the person coming is not a Yufeng Tatar.
If the camp accidentally burned down, it would be a dead end to move closer to the Tatar camp.
But they had just repelled the attack of the Tatar cavalry. The morale of the soldiers was very high, including the officers. After all, this was the first time the team they had brought out fought against the Hu people. Fortunately, they withstood the test. Jiang Tao made these people scream.
They quickly moved towards Jiang Tao and then formed a formation and rushed towards the Tatar camp.
The Tatars rushed towards the camp quickly, partly because they were worried about their food and grass, and partly because some of the Tatars had left all the loot they had stolen in the camp. These people were so anxious that they wished they could fly back with wings.
The Tatar general was also very anxious and kept all the things he could capture in the camp.
Therefore, difficulties will inevitably arise during the retreat. There is no formation at all. Everyone wants to go back first to see where the formation is. The Tatar general has no intention of gathering the troops now. His thoughts are also
They are all in the camp. Why did I go south so hard? It’s not just these belongings.
The camp could already be seen. Many Tatars had stopped in despair. But some Tatars still had a sense of luck and ran towards the blazing fire. Some stopped and some rushed towards the team, making the team even more chaotic.
At this time, two cavalrymen came out from both sides.
The heavy sound of horse hooves and the gleaming sabers in the sun kept beating the morale of these Tatars. The Tatar general reacted and quickly ordered the formation of the team. But the current situation was very confusing. How could his order be implemented? On the contrary
The enemies on both sides seized the opportunity to press hard against the Tatars.
The Tatars on both sides were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, but they were unable to prevent effective defense. After the initial panic, the Tatars also stabilized. Because they had discovered that there were not many enemies, the Tatars began to slowly attack
Gather together. As long as they complete the assembly, it will be the end of the enemy.dd
