There were only 500 people with fire, but the general of the Fan army ordered the entire army to charge. As long as the horses were obedient, they would charge forward. The only purpose was to cover...
Since the Nanli people launched a night attack, they probably also arranged an ambush to intercept the death squads. It would be too obvious for five hundred people to rush forward alone. If they want to set off such a fire, the death squads must have someone to cover them.
The general's trumpet call has both advantages and disadvantages. It is very good for setting fires. However, the order for the whole army to charge also makes the already scattered army collapse faster... There is no need to mention the large formation of the Fan army. It cannot be saved. In the end, it can be saved.
Those who were ordered to charge were only a few 3,000 cavalrymen.
After all, the Titans rushed from the front, and the panic they caused spread like ripples. The entire battlefield became chaotic and disorderly. The front formation rushed backwards to the main formation, and the main formation reversed to the rear formation. Only the teams hidden on the edge of the flanks
It's already rare to be able to barely move, and to be able to rush out of thousands of people at once.
As General Fanzi expected, but not what he expected, the charging team faced the most brutal massacre before they could reach the range of the arrows... The Uighur Guards, Shanxi Barbarians, and the remaining
The two thousand cicada yakshas, the Nanli elite soldiers stationed at Yanziping, and all the armed forces in the fief except Shitou Lao, who has poor eyesight at night, participated in this battle...
The west wall of Qingyang was also busy. Important people evacuated, and strong laborers rushed to the city. They broke open the dry sandbags that had been carefully protected in advance and covered the kerosene with sand. The fire Taoist was in charge of this matter, and the labor was counted in the rush.
Even if it were increased several times, it would be impossible to get rid of all the oil contaminated with kerosene.
It was covered everywhere, but the fire Taoist people were very good at it. They directed the laborers to quickly pile up small sand dunes, pound them firmly with shovels, block the possible fire paths one by one, and then use the small hills as the basis to connect the lines.
Spread, how to do this job is entirely his knowledge, others can only follow the instructions.
In addition to the weapons of the suicide squads at the front and the labor of the adventurers at the top of the city, Qingyang City also has two barriers. One is the Grand Master Luo Guan. He is at the bottom of the city, almost between the battlefield and the city wall, and does not participate in the fighting.
,only
Silently looking up at the night sky and waiting with his bow in hand, if there is an arrow flying, he will try his best to intercept it; on the other hand, Chen Hui, who has recovered after taking the medicine, is sitting on the top of the city with his bow also focused, if there is Luo Guan, he can't stop it
He will block the arrows.
If it is really unstoppable, the old man will take the fire Taoist to escape...
Even though all the actions were carefully planned, Song Yang was still not sure that the top of Qingyang City would not be invaded by the fire. When they first made the plan, they faced a dilemma: Will the Titan bird that debuted for the first time scare the horses crazy?
This is expected, but how to time the night attack?
Should we launch the attack when Fanzi starts to throw the rope, or even before he throws the rope? Or should we wait until they have thrown away almost all the oil cans before attacking?
The benefit of the former is obvious. It can ensure that the city will not catch fire tonight, allowing Song Yang to win a clean and beautiful battle... But what about after tonight? This battle can be won entirely because Fan Zi does not know.
Marquis Changchun's family still has pigs
Raising a group of ancient ferocious beasts, it can be said that if they go into battle as infantry, they will not suffer such a big loss. And the power of the feudal city is more than enough to cause the enemy's formation to be completely defeated. However, it is absolutely impossible to completely annihilate the enemy.
.
It is not difficult to predict that Fanzi will be defeated tonight. No matter how heavy the casualties are, they can at least retain most of their strength. When they make a comeback after reorganizing, they will be stupid if they still ride horses to find trouble with Qingyang City.
What kind of thing?
Instead of waiting for them to come back next time when they are prepared, it is better to use up their fuel this time. Anyway, the enemy army will be in chaos tonight and will no longer have the ability to attack the city. At best, they will set a fire and destroy the city.
Burned black...
After all, the 100,000 cavalrymen are the advance army. They gave up their baggage in order to advance quickly. They cannot bring too many oil cans with them. After tonight's battle, they don't have enough kerosene on hand to launch a fire attack. They can only use real swords and guns.
To attack the city, just rely on the construction of Qingyang City. With the current morale and the elite of the feudal city, Qingyang City is not afraid of those conventional fighting methods.
In addition, before Song Yang decided on the plan, he also called in the Taoist Fire Taoist, hoping to find a 'safe plan' from him. He also wanted to see if there was a chance to put on a good show of 'burning the plateau soldiers.' The dealer brought an oil can with him.
·It would be great if we could kill them all, but the time is too short. It only takes a few days from the time Song Yang arrives in Qingyang to the time when Fan Jun kills them. Not to mention that Taoist Huo can't think of a good way at once, even if he
I have ideas but no time to arrange them.
Therefore, in the end, Song Yang chose the latter, letting Fanzi throw away enough before advancing for a surprise attack. As for whether he could stop the enemy from setting fire, it was just a matter of doing his best to follow fate. Even if he failed to stop it, it didn't matter. It had nothing to do with the overall situation.
On two battlefields, one in front and one in the back, Five Thousand Chan Yaksha and Liu Jiajun rushed into the enemy's main formation; other armed forces in the feudal city intercepted and killed the arsonist team that rushed towards Qingyang from the main formation.
There is no suspense in the battlefield ahead. Even if Song Yang changes sides now, Fanzi's defeat cannot be restored. Everyone is just trying to expand the results of the battle, kill as many Fanzi as possible, and eliminate as many of the enemy's effective forces; the real pursuit, fighting and confrontation are complete.
In the rear, the feudal armed forces tried their best to intercept and kill, but the battlefield was empty, and the death squads and the soldiers covering them dispersed as soon as they rushed out, making it extremely difficult to intercept and kill.
Fortunately, the team responsible for intercepting and killing some were as mobile as the Uighur Guards, coming and going as fast as the wind; some were Shanxi Barbarians who could easily throw out a large ax to attack from afar; or some were Cicada Yaksha who transformed into twenty centurions.
Occupy the fortress and block the cavalry... In addition, seal the
The Yi armed forces also took two big advantages: although the enemy could still charge, their mounts were more or less frightened, and they were forced to run at a greatly reduced speed and were far less obedient than usual; in addition, the rockets needed to be ignited in advance, which would delay time and
Easy to receive interference.
But even so, it is not easy to intercept all the enemies. Almost everyone is running and rushing. If you look at it from the sky, it is a completely scattered chase. All the soldiers want is to go up to the city with a rocket in exchange for
A sea of fire, the feudal armed forces squeezed out the strength from the bone marrow in order to achieve a perfect, a completely impeccable victory.
Faced with encirclement and suppression, snipers and tomahawks that could roar at any time, Fanzi's actions were severely disrupted. Although the horse ran fast, it was almost impossible to get into the shooting range. He could only run in circuitous ways and search for opportunities. Occasionally there were a few
The individual escaped within the shooting range, but the rocket he shot after all the hard work was immediately intercepted in mid-air by the sun-gazing arrows of the two great masters. Immediately, another bright sun flashed in front of him, killing the Tubo cavalry who set fire to death.
on the spot.
This is the first real appearance of the feudal armed forces. For these monsters, such as Cicada Yaksha, Uighur Guards, and Shanxi Xiu, who are looking forward to the war from the bottom of their hearts and pick up the knife more than anything else, winning is far away.
If it is not enough, you must win beauty.
This is the scene at Yanziping.
The princess, the princess, and other people who were not participating in the war gathered in the prefect's mansion under the city. Although they could not see the battlefield, the battle situation and military information were constantly reported, and everyone knew everything about the situation outside. The prefect was surprised and anxious, and he was pleasantly surprised.
Needless to say, the worry is that the Qingyang defenders should enter the battle at this time.
If a few thousand more people are killed and joined with the feudal armed forces to intercept the enemy's archers, the city will be safer. But this battle was presided over by Marquis Changchun from beginning to end. At this time, Liu Hou sent Qingyang troops
He was sent out as if he was trying to take credit from the Marquis.
The timing of military strategists going into battle is a big taboo in the official circles. With Liu Taishou, he dare not violate this taboo no matter what. What's more, while walking around, Her Royal Highness has used a voice that everyone can hear countless times.
He was muttering, "This is the contribution of Marquis Chang Chun, a great military achievement. How could Liu Hou not hear that Her Royal Highness the Princess is beating herself up."
Ren Xiaoqian went around again and happily mentioned the old story again, shaking his head: "This time Song Yang made a contribution alone..."
Before he finished speaking this time, Ren Churong laughed from the side and interrupted: "I know it's all Song Yang's credit. When the battle is over, the merit report will be spread to the capital. No one can take away your Marquis's."
Don't worry about the credit!" Without waiting for the little catcher to say anything, the princess turned to Liu Hou and said, "Please ask the prefect to send strong soldiers out of the city to help Chang Chunhou intercept and kill the bandits."
Ren Churong never participated in the war, and this order was not her own. It was specially given to her by Song Yang before going to war... The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and no matter how careful the calculation is in advance, there will be no guarantee that there will be no accidents, so
Song Yangshi
I didn't ask Liu Hou for help first, because I was afraid that if the Yiyi armed forces were defeated, how could there be no heavy troops stationed in the city? Now that everything is going well, all that is left is to set fire to the last small resistance, which will not hurt the city.
Under such circumstances, it is natural to ask the prefect to send troops to help.
Liu Hou was overjoyed and immediately sent out the order. Two-thirds of the Qingyang garrison was dispatched in one go. Four thousand soldiers swarmed out and entered the battlefield to join the friendly forces.
The soldiers who rushed up complained about the already difficult task. After adding four thousand more Qingyang defenders, they almost lost all hope of completing it. What made them even more helpless was that even God was adding insult to injury...
···When the cannon horn sounded in the city and reinforcements entered the battlefield, there was thunder and thunder in the sky, and it started to rain.
The thin clouds during the day gradually turned into rain clouds at night.
The rain is not too heavy.
If the city was already on fire, such rain would not only be of no benefit but might even fuel the oil fire. But now that the city was safe, for the soldiers who were still trying to figure out how to shoot the rocket up, the rain was enough to announce their mission.
Total failure.
If you can't shake a fire stick in the rain, you can't hit a fire knife or flint, you can't light a rocket, how can you set fire to the city?
Mu En looked back at the friendly troops with high morale, and then looked up at the rain falling from the sky. With an impatient look on his old face, he whistled in his mouth and took 300 Shanxixiu back to the city.
With the arrival of friendly forces and Yuyu, Fanzi could no longer be successful, and this sniper battle became easy and no fun at all. The old woman stopped playing and stopped fighting. Anyway, Song Yang's order to them was'
She tried her best to prevent Fanzi from setting the fire, but now that the enemy failed to set the fire, it would not be considered a violation of military orders for her to lead the team home and sleep.
Dawn appears in the sky, and Qingyang is victorious.
Fanzi threw more than 200,000 oil cans onto the west city wall, but was unable to shoot even one rocket up. The rain began to stop, and the flag of King Nanli on the top of the city fluttered in the wind. The sound of hunting was light but full of meaning.
Happiness is enough to make every Qingyang person rejoice.
The city has just settled down, and the work of Huo Zhenren has come to an end. The sand is covered with kerosene. The dwarf master is in charge of this matter, so it is absolutely foolproof. Even if he nods at the top of the city, the kerosene will not burn.
After a day or two, the oil under the sand will evaporate with the wind and completely dissipate, and then there will be no worries.
Looking down from the top of the city, all you can see are the dead bodies of the enemy. The west gate of Qingyang is wide open. The Liu Jiajun, who have just had a gluttonous feast and have gathered together again, are returning to the city in high spirits under the leadership of Liu Er.
, then the prefect sent out teams and laborers to clean up the battlefield.
By now, basically all the teams that participated in the battle last night have returned to the city. Only Song Yang and the five thousand cicada yaksha he brought have not returned. They must have gone to chase the enemy, so there is no need to worry too much.
Sure enough, Song Yang and Cicada Yaksha were safe and sound when they returned, but it was too late... They didn't return to Qingyang until noon when the world turned around again.
Song Yang led his troops in triumph, and the people in the city welcomed them with cheers. Qingyang's civil and military officials, headed by Liu Hou, lined up to congratulate, praise, and thank them. Needless to say, Song Yang entertained them one by one.
After returning to the post house, I took a good bath and ate something. Later, Prefect Liu came to visit me. He had already prepared a memorial report to the court and asked Marquis Changchun to take a look at it.
After all, Liu Hou is now the guard of the city, and he has to write all these official articles. Song Yang really doesn't want to read it, and looks at the princess longingly. The latter smiles like a crescent moon in his eyes, and takes over from the governor.
The watch in hand.
The princess probably read the memorial and handed it to Ren Xiaoqian. The latter looked at it more seriously. It was full of praise for Song Yang, the princess and the princess. The princess of the Marquis family liked to read this.
Smiling from ear to ear, he couldn't help but read it again after reading it once. Then he remembered something when he was satisfied, and smiled at Liu Hou and said: "This is all Song Yang's credit, and the prefect didn't mention it at all."
Own."
'When she was fighting for credit in private, the little catcher only wanted to put all the credit into Song Yang's pocket, but when it came to official work, she felt that everyone was in the same boat and her family had to keep it all.
Not suitable.
With that said, Xiao Zhan put the memo back into Chu Rong's hand and said with a smile: "Third Sister, please add a few more sentences to write down the benefits of Mr. Liu."
"The general has no merit at all." I don't know whether he was sincere or pretending to be polite. Liu Hou shook his head vigorously and said sternly: "When the reinforcements have not arrived, the general's plan is just to destroy the city and kill the country. Eight
The word, do your best to obey the destiny, live up to the trust of the court and the king
That’s all I taught you. I wasn’t afraid of the Tubo people, but I really didn’t expect that I could win the battle and defeat 100,000 enemy cavalry. I won’t talk about this. I’ll just talk about the battle the night before, from beginning to end.
The Marquis is in charge, but the general has done nothing at all, and there is absolutely no credit for it."
Everything displayed on the memorial table was all the work of Chang Chunhou's family. Liu Hou also expected that they would probably be polite to him. He had originally prepared a set of sonorous words, but he changed his mind temporarily and abandoned those high-sounding statements.
First, the princess is the most famous in the capital.
, she used to be a big shot in charge of the Hongbo Mansion, and it was really boring to talk about words in front of her; and judging from Song Yang's temper, he probably didn't like to listen to those scene words. Liu Hou simply spoke more plainly, but the temporary change of words made him think again.
It left him a bit speechless and unable to express his ideas.
The princess smiled and nodded to Liu Hou, indicating that he didn't need to say anything anymore. She could fully understand what he meant, and then said: "There are no outsiders here, and you don't need to be too particular about what you say. If what I say is wrong or inappropriate, you mustn't do it."
Don’t worry about it.”
Liu Hou nodded quickly, and Ren Churong spoke in a serious and slow voice: "When the reinforcements from the feudal city have not arrived, Qingyang has become an isolated city on the front line. Mr. Liu did not abandon the city like the Tanglou governor did, but instead reorganized his defenses to prepare for the battle.
To me, this is a great achievement. Mr. Liu is prepared to serve the country with his own life, and just by having this idea, it is a great achievement."
Ren Churong's light words struck directly into Liu Hou's heart.
