The fiery red sunset hangs on the edge of the western sky, shining the last ray of light on the earth, covering all living things with a blood-red brilliance!
A black line crossed out from the western horizon, and the rolling roar was like thunder in the sky. As the roar became louder, the black line became more and more turbulent like the waves of the sea!
A total of ten thousand cavalry!
They caught up with the ten thousand cavalry of Zhang Bianjun, the champion Zhonglang general.
Zhu Biao had no choice but to lead his troops to escape to Ziyang. If his marching carriages were overrun by ten thousand cavalry, it would be good if ten thousand of his forty thousand troops could escape.
Even if the infantry marches and encounters 10,000 cavalry on the way, the effect will be better than if the Song army's carriage convoy hits 10,000 cavalry. The former can still fight, but the latter may not even show its head.
When we came out, the car crashed and everyone died.
One day later, Zheng Guoxiong led 30,000 troops and rushed to Ziyang. Three days later, Deng Zhong's vanguard and the more than 10,000 cavalry who had chased Zhu Biao's army into Xingzhou arrived. However, Deng Zhong's large army at this time
We are still far away in Linhe and have not left Kaizhou yet.
"Boom..." A stone bullet hit the battlement hard. The battlement, which had lost a corner, did not escape the fate of complete collapse this time. With a bang, the bricks and stones flew and fell towards the city wall with a crash.
.
The urn city at the west gate of Ziyang is different from the outer city of the Northern Han Dynasty. The urn city in the Central Plains is mostly built inside. The outer city has been damaged in many places during the two days and one night of bombardment, but the urn city is still quite intact.
Zhu Biao stood on it, frowning so hard that he could kill a mosquito. The Jin army had plenty of equipment. Although the King of Jin hated Zheng Guoxiong for fighting a bad war, the equipment that should be given was still sent to the army in a steady stream. Like now.
There were as many as fifty thunderbolt chariots in full force, each one as large as water. The standard weight of the stone bullets was 80 to 100 kilograms, and the bricks they hit were like powder.
There was no shoddy construction of the city defense in Ziyang County, but the Jin army destroyed the western city wall in two days.
Zheng Guoxiong relied on his confidence and the power of his thunder chariot. After a wave of troops attacked the city, rocks rained down, and rocks the size of millstones fell, followed by a surge of Jin soldiers. They still came from time to time.
A siege on all sides or a night battle. The method seemed simple, but in fact it was extremely rhythmic. The soldiers of Song Dynasty were not able to take a good rest day and night, and each of them lacked energy replenishment and their physical reserves continued to decline.
In the face of Zheng Guoxiong's attack, although Zhu Biao had repelled the Jin army again and again in the past few days, he had suffered a lot of losses in his own troops. The casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy has not declined, and is even slowly rising.
The high level of damage made Zhu Biao feel anxious and stressed. He only had more than 40,000 troops. If Zheng Guoxiong continued to spend like this, how could he break the deadlock in Ziyang in the future? Of course, this situation also made Zheng Guoxiong heartbroken.
Feeling very happy and excited.
"Commander, come and take a look at this." Ning Daosi did not die that night, and now he is Zheng Guoxiong's right-hand man. He twisted the secret letter with two fingers and handed it to Zheng Guoxiong who had just come in. Zheng Guoxiong grabbed it and took a look.
His face immediately changed. After turning his face a few times, Zheng Guoxiong shook his head helplessly, "Now things are going to be difficult!" He did not expect that the strength of the Song army in the city was so strong. Forty thousand people,
More than his own infantry.
It can also be seen more clearly here that the so-called deserters and escapes are purely a trick played by Zhu Biao. There were indeed a large number of deserters during the three days of the Song army's escape, but this number did not damage the foundation of the Song army at all.
But even today, he has been holding Qi Yi in his heart. Qi Yi did indeed escape most of the Song army. But those who stayed behind were the elite and veterans of the Song king.
According to the military newspaper in Kaizhou, a large part of Zhu Biao's troops were recruited from surrendered troops. Zheng Guoxiong had always thought this way before.
The sun has set, and the amber sunset gradually recedes from the horizon. The hazy twilight lingers between the sky and the earth, and the Wei River has turned from clear and clear to a deep iron-green color. The first stars in the sky are quietly embedded in the gray sky, just like
It was as motionless as the eternal candlelight. The brilliant sunset gradually turned dull, and a bright crescent moon rose in the mid-air, like a solitary boat floating in the boundless sky——
The sky was completely dark, but the Jin army under Ziyang City had no intention of stopping and returning to the camp. Torches were lit and bonfires were lit.
The trumpets were blaring, the drums were beating loudly, and the dark Jin army began to change their formations again. It was obvious that they were preparing for another attack. Under the cover of night, where the Song soldiers at the top of the city could not see, thirty soldiers
The towering well gates had been erected like ghosts in the Jin army's rear formation.
Zheng Guoxiong stood proudly in front of the 10,000 troops, his eyes staring at the dilapidated west wall of Ziyang City 200 steps ahead. A fierce determination containing murderous intent burst out in his deep pupils——
This was his last choice. He made the decision after thinking hard for more than an hour - to kill part of the Song army in Ziyang City.
They still have more than 20,000 cavalry here. As long as Zhu Biao's army loses a part, they will be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth again when they leave the city. And more than 20,000 cavalry are guarding the four sides of the city. At that time, the Song army will not be able to break through again.
It's possible.
"In battle, I am indeed no match for you. But your strength is too weak..." Zheng Guoxiong looked at the head of Ziyang City. He was really afraid that Zhu Biao would make another mistake. With a force of 40,000 people, his strength was not bad.
Even with more than 20,000 cavalry in hand, he could not feel completely at ease.
But if the Song army changed from 40,000 to 30,000, or even more than 20,000, then he could wait for the arrival of Deng Zhong's army outside the city with peace of mind, and finally let the army carry out the final blow.
At the head of the west city of Ziyang, Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned. Is Zheng Guoxiong going to fight at night? The Jin army under the city gave him a different feeling at this moment. There was a murderous and fierce spirit. This gun before
The Jin army's feint attacks were obviously different during the day.
In the dusk, a cold light flashed across Zhu Biao's eyes. Since Zheng Guoxiong seemed to be having fun, "Then I will stay with you until the end!" So what if there are follow-up troops? Let's see what Zheng Guoxiong can do to me!?
Zhu Biao suddenly looked back and looked around. He saw that although the Song soldiers waiting at the top of the city looked tired, they were all full of fighting spirit, with murderous intent in their eyes, and there was no problem with their morale.
"Uuuuuuu——"
"Dong dong dong————"
Outside the city, the sound of drums and horns became louder and louder.
In front of the Jin army's formation, Ning Daosi raised his sword high above his head, and then slashed forward. A Jin army captain who stood solemnly behind him immediately ran out on horseback, "Infantry archer, follow me -"
"Boom, boom, boom -" the captain roared loudly, and he saw a thousand sword players and three thousand foot archers in the Jin army's formation quickly protruding from the front of the formation. The sound of footsteps was as loud as thunder.
Three thousand archers rushed to the place where they shot the arrow in Ziyang City, drew their bows and nocked arrows. In front of them, swordsmen holding shields and torches stood at attention, and hemp ropes dipped in kerosene were wrapped around the arrow clusters.
With a slight touch on the torch, little sparks suddenly lit up in the arrow array.
The next moment, the Jin military captain stabbed forward with his spear, and three thousand blazing rockets suddenly flew into the air, tracing eye-catching tracks in the air, and roared towards the head of Ziyang City.
Ziyang City Head.
Zhu Biao stood as tall as a pine, staring at the bottom of the city with his fiery eyes. His majestic figure seemed as motionless as a mountain. Above the city, more than a thousand Song army infantry archers did not see Zhu Biao give orders, so they had to fight with the crowd.
The soldiers with swords and spears huddled together on the battlements and behind the shields and oars, but their fiery eyes still looked at Zhu Biao from time to time.
When Zhu Biao gave the order and the drums sounded, they would draw their bows and release arrows, braving the rain of falling arrows, and pour a canopy of equally sharp arrows onto the Jin army's heads.
After several days of tug-of-war, the Song army's military reserves in Ziyang City were greatly consumed, especially arrows. Zhu Biao estimated the quantity in his mind and saw that the Jin army's infantry archers were guarded by sword players. He knew that this
Generally speaking, the effect of direct fire would not be very great, so it would be better to let the Jin army shoot at them.
And for some reason, after seeing the momentum of the Jin army in this night battle, Zhu Biao had an ominous premonition in his heart.
This time the Jin army's siege was very different from the past. Zhu Biao could clearly feel this, but why? What made the Jin army change Zheng Guoxiong's attention?
He should deal with it carefully, be cautious and cautious, and be cautious and cautious again.
Kill——
Go ahead——
There was a sudden burst of shouts outside Ziyang City, and accompanied by a rain of arrows from the infantry archers, the elite infantry of the Jin Army who had been waiting for a long time swarmed towards the city head, all like wild horses running wild, decisively
The floodwaters from the embankment swarmed towards Ziyang. Dots of torches illuminated the ferocious faces of the Jin soldiers. At this moment, not only they but also the Song soldiers at the top of the city had only endless cruel murderous intent in their eyes.
.
Roar!…………Roar!!!
Almost at the same time that the two thousand Jin troops launched their charge, neat and loud chants sounded from the rear of the Jin troops. Along with the rhythmic and exciting chants, a total of thirty towering Jinglans began to slowly move towards Ziyang.
The city head was squirming. In front of the Jin army formation, Ning Daosi looked back leisurely. When his cold eyes passed over the thirty tall wells, a ferocious sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two thousand Jin troops charging now and the ladder trucks in their hands are a trigger, attracting the Song troops at the top of the city to counterattack as much as possible. In tonight's battle, Zheng Guoxiong's real back-up force is those thirty weapons, they are Zheng Guoxiong's
The real killer move.
Closer, closer!
The red firelight shone on Zhu Biao's angular face, and his eyes as bright as stars were full of coldness and chill. One glance at him made people feel like they were falling into a world of ice and snow, with everything around their heads and feet.
They are all endless silence and endless abyss.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, two thousand Jin troops finally swarmed in. Looking from the top of the city, illuminated by the stars and fire, the two thousand people were like a black mass of ants, crowding into the dilapidated west side of Ziyang City.
At the foot of the city wall.
Boom boom boom——(To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
