Chapter 505 It's really reinforcements! The Jiangdu army is here!
Chapter 505
The thunderous sound of war drums began to stir up the situation, and tens of thousands of Wagangzhai soldiers and horses densely packed under the city began to slowly advance towards Luokou Cangcheng.
Ten miles southeast of Luokou Cang City, a huge iron-clad torrent rushed towards Luokou Cang like mercury leaking from the ground.
To the west of them were 35,000 armored elites, clad in razor-sharp armor, who were also moving quickly towards Luokou Cang.
As the first feather arrow from the city was thrown onto the top of the city, the shouts of killing from above and below seemed to erupt at the same time.
Stones and arrows rained down one after another. Although the Wagangzhai army numbered nearly 100,000, less than one in ten of the soldiers attacking the city in front of them could wear armor.
Most people just wore thick clothes and carried crude hand shields made of wooden boards as they struggled to move forward.
Screams and wails could be heard one after another. The defenders on the city relied on their favorable location and thick armor.
Braving the rain of arrows thrown from the city, he fought hard to drive back the soldiers and horses of Wagang Village who rushed to the top of the city again and again.
However, with the frenzied attack of Wagang Village regardless of life and death, the defenders on the city gradually began to be unable to hold on.
Xi Ding even sent his own soldiers up, and even went into battle in person to kill several Wagangzhai bandits.
However, more and more soldiers from Wagangzhai rushed to the city, and Luokou Cangcheng was about to be lost.
Then he heard a huge roar coming from the east. Xi Lian, who had gone through hundreds of battles and become a general from an ordinary soldier, suddenly turned his head and looked towards the east.
I saw a black wave emerging on the ground in the distance. As the wave surged, the sound of heavy hooves became louder and louder.
"Cavalry, where did so many cavalry come from?" Over the years of the Sui Dynasty, the elite soldiers were almost wiped out, and the elite cavalry was almost no longer large-scale.
What's more, the emperor visited the south of the Yangtze River and brought all the 50,000 cavalrymen among the guards to the south of the Yangtze River.
Xi Ding couldn't understand such a large-scale cavalry. Also unable to understand was Li Mi who was standing on the high platform with the commander's flag.
With a livid face, he watched the cavalry attack slowly but quickly.
Less than a cup of tea ago, Li Mi learned from the scout that a cavalry was approaching quickly.
He barely had time to ask his confidant Wang Bodang, who was stationed on the left wing of his army, to lead 10,000 elite troops into formation.
Now, after seeing the number of cavalry, Li Mi already knew that his plan to seize Luokou Cang was ruined.
Zuo Sima Zheng Ting galloped to the foot of the flag with great anger, and quickly climbed up to the high platform.
"Wei Gong, a large number of Sui troops were discovered in the south, at least 30,000 to 50,000 in number, and they are rapidly heading towards Luokou Cangcheng."
"Is it reinforcements from Dongdu?"
"They are not from Dongdu. Their banner is 'Jiangdu Jun Yang'."
"Jiang Dujun, Yang..." Li Mi took a deep breath, and at this moment, he heard the roar like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
"Jiangdu Army! Victory!!!" With this roar, 25,000 iron cavalry, like a torrent of steel, directly smashed into pieces the 10,000 elite infantrymen of Wang Bo who were hurriedly arrayed.
"Jiang Dujun! Wan Sheng!!!"
The same roar came from the south. Tens of thousands of armored infantry and dense forests of spears and spears began to level up and launched an assault on the Wagangzhai army south of Luokou Cangcheng.
"Retreat, the entire army retreats!" Seeing Wang Bodang's 10,000 elite infantrymen, they were as if they were destroyed.
Being chased away by the cavalry, Li Mi no longer hesitated and rushed down the high platform, took the reins from the soldiers, turned over and jumped onto the horse's back.
"It's reinforcements, it's really reinforcements!!" On top of the city, those Sui troops who had survived the disaster looked at the torrent of charging cavalry after they broke up the neat military formation on the left flank of the Wagangzhai Army.
Then it began to divide into ten strands, like the tiger's sharp claws, ruthlessly tearing open bloody wounds one after another in the array of Wagangzhai army.
Before the tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the south arrived, the soldiers of Wagang Village who had fought hard to attack the city had already begun to withdraw from the city wall in panic and fled towards the north.
Yang Qian swung his broadsword repeatedly and chopped down several warriors from Wagangzhai who were still blocking his way. He continued to gallop forward, his target being the handsome flag flying high and motionless right in front of him.
Next to him, Yuchi Gong was like a god of murder. The long spear in his right hand was like a ghost. Every time he swung the iron whip in his left hand, he would hit the opponent's head and blood, or break his arms and legs.
Liulihong rushed under the high platform, but did not stop. She neighed, exerted all her strength on her four hooves, and jumped onto the high platform as if she were walking on flat ground.
A tall and burly flag guard wearing heavy armor roared wildly, rushed out, raised the long sword in his hand, and raised the sword towards Yang Qian.
As soon as Yang Qian raised the exaggerated Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, a flash of black light came and penetrated directly into the flag guard's face.
It was the iron whip that Yuchi Gong had just held in his hand, and now it opened a hole in the head of the flag guard.
The whole person froze for an instant, and the sword fell to the ground feebly. Yang Qian raised his thumb towards Yuchi Gong.
Although he could handle it himself, it didn't stop Yang Qian from admiring Yuchi Gong's eagerness to protect his master. With a roar, the broadsword stirred up the bright light of the sword and cut off the thick rope holding the commander's flag.
Master Duan behind him jumped into the air, jumped onto the high platform, and untied the rope and changed the flag with extremely quick hands and feet.
Soon, the battlefield, which was filled with the sound of fighting, once again erupted with the roar of Jiangdu's army's victory.
Countless soldiers of Wagang Village finally saw that the four-character flag of Jiangdu Army Yang had been raised on their handsome flag stand.
Almost in an instant, the morale of the Wagangzhai army melted rapidly like ice and snow on a hot summer day.
Yang Qian jumped off his horse and watched the countless Sui cavalry interspersed among the Wagangzhai army, making it impossible for them to form a formation.
Except for a few people who were still resisting on the spot, the Wagangzhai bandits on the entire battlefield fled one after another.
"Jiangdu Army..." Shan Xiongxin and Shan Xiongzhong, who were ordered to be the rear troops today, looked at each other with great understanding.
Without hesitation, he led his elite troops towards the north and pursued Li Mi in the direction of his escape.
When the 35,000 Jiangdu Army infantry rushed to the commander's flag position, there was not a single Wagangzhai soldier on the entire battlefield who dared to resist with swords and guns.
Seeing that the cavalry under his command were still chasing him, Yang Qian turned his head and shouted at Li Shimin.
"Tell General Li to pursue only ten miles."
"No!" Li Shimin shouted and immediately galloped towards the north.
Yang Qian turned his head and looked at Luokou Cangcheng, which was at most the size of Xingze County.
I took a deep breath, dear, luckily I caught up, otherwise, if I were one step later, I would have no place to stay.
And the more than 20 million stones of grain in the Luokou warehouse will become Li Mi's capital to recruit troops and win people's hearts.
