After the first round of arrows, the Imperial Guards guarding the walls of Taiyuan fell. For them who had no combat experience, facing the soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp who had experienced countless battles, they
Both in terms of momentum and strength, they are actually very different.
Posing a mighty posture in the imperial city does not prove that the imperial army can be equally powerful on the battlefield. Just as virgins always look purer than prostitutes, but of course prostitutes are more reliable in terms of combat effectiveness...
After a round of arrow rain, at Hanasaburo's gesture, the second row of archers immediately came up to take over the first row. And the thirty giant ballistae slowly pulled up to prepare for the second attack. With a buzz, the third row of archers took over.
Two rounds of arrows were shot out intensively, and there was a sudden howl of ghosts and wolves on the city wall.
The archers in the third row quickly changed positions and drew the crossbows in their hands almost at the same time.
"All the ballistae were fired at the city gate, and the archers suppressed the imperial troops on the city wall."
Liu Ling pointed at the city gate with the riding crop in his hand and said.
"Got the order!"
Hanasaburo responded with clasped fists on his horse, and then he lifted his horse to the archers' arrow formation and shouted: "Get the ballista ready, aim at the city gate, and let go!"
Thirty huge crossbow arrows were blasted out almost at the same time, and several huge crossbows directly blasted through the thick and solid gate of Taiyuan City! There were two unlucky guys in a group of soldiers gathered behind the city gate.
, was nailed to the ground by the giant crossbow that penetrated the city gate!
In the face of such a powerful siege weapon, the human body is so weak.
Hanasaburo waved his sword on the horse and shouted: "The ballista continues, the archers suppress the imperial troops on the city wall!"
boom!
Under the second round of giant crossbow bombardment, the huge city gate finally groaned under the load. The city gate was already dilapidated, and it seemed that it could no longer withstand another round of giant crossbow bombardment.
Liu Ling sat on the saddle bridge, waved the whip in his hand and said: "Soldiers!"
"Break the city gate, King Qin escorts you, you and the others are all ministers of great merit!"
Liu Ling shouted: "Zhao Da."
A handsome man in his thirties, with bright eyes, a high nose, but thin lips that made him look a little cool came out immediately. This man looked polite, but following Liu Ling
Everyone around him knows that this man named Zhao Da is so cold-hearted that even King Yama would be afraid of him. He is a person who is ruthless to his enemies and equally ruthless to himself.
"My subordinate is here."
Zhao Da was a domestic slave in Prince Liu Ling's palace. In his eyes, there was only Liu Ling and no emperor. As long as Liu Ling's riding whip was pointed at him, he would dare to break into even the inner courtyard of the palace or even the underworld.
"If I give you three hundred men, will you dare to break through the city gate?"
Zhao Da lowered his head and said: "There is nothing Zhao Da dares not do as ordered by the prince!"
"Okay, let's go."
Liu Ling waved his hand.
At this moment, there was a roar! The third round of the giant crossbow roared past like a roaring dragon. No matter how strong the city gate was, it could not withstand such a powerful bombardment. A clicking sound came from the city gate, and the
The red city gate is dilapidated and crumbling!
It's now!
Zhao Dameng shouted loudly, and three hundred cavalry roared out behind him.
"General Wang Weiwu!"
Zhao Da raised the long sword in his hand, and the sword shone with a chilling light in the sun. In the flash of sword light, each of the 301 warriors, including Zhao Da, had a look of determination on their faces!
Everyone knows that the first wave of soldiers who stormed the city gate were doomed to a narrow escape from the moment they rushed out. It was God's mercy that one or two of the ten people could survive. But everyone also knew that since they were selected as the first
If a wave attacks a member, they can only move forward with no way out.
Three hundred and one people uniformly shouted: General Wang Mighty!
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Zhao Da took the lead and with the determination to die, his slightly feminine face became extremely ferocious. The maroon horse under his crotch neighed and rushed towards the city gate under the rain of arrows from the defenders on the city tower! At this time, those who defended the city
The Forbidden Army also already knew that if the people from the Gyeonggi Camp were to break through the city gate, then only one of them would die! In order to survive, everyone was red-eyed!
Although Hanasaburo's 3,000 archers suppressed them, they could not completely block the arrows of the defenders. What's more, the defenders only targeted the 300 people who attacked the city gate. In this way, these 300
The dead man's way forward was undoubtedly blocked by a net of arrows!
Zhao Da waved the long sword in his hand and kept knocking away the arrows. Although he did not look back, he knew that less than 30% of the people who could rush to the city gate from a distance of more than 100 meters would survive in the end.
It's almost negligible! At this moment, Liu Ling felt equally uncomfortable. If the situation wasn't really urgent, the casualties would be much smaller and the success rate would be much higher if he suppressed it with archers and giant crossbows and broke through with an infantry shield formation.
If he had led the troops, it would have been even easier to break through the city with a special battering ram. But now time has no longer allowed him to attack the city in the safest way, so he can only use this cavalry suicidal attack to break through the already blocked city.
The crumbling city gate!
puff!
A sharp arrow was shot at Zhao Da's shoulder. The arrow penetrated directly and got stuck in the flesh. The forbidden army used barbed wolf-tooth arrows, which would cut the wound into irregular shapes once it penetrated the flesh.
It caused a lot of blood loss, and because of the barbs in the arrows, treatment was also very difficult.
ah!
Zhao Da roared angrily, and his eyes instantly filled with a blood-red color!
He slapped the wolf-tusked arrow with a fierce palm, and with a pop, the arrow was pierced from behind by his palm! The arrow flew out from behind his shoulder and brought out a stream of blood arrows. The blood was shining in the sun.
A strange color flashed below! With a ferocious roar, Zhao Da clapped his horse and ran straight to the city gate!
Less than five meters away from the city gate, Zhao Da suddenly stabbed the maroon horse in the hindquarters with his backhand sword! The horse neighed and rushed forward. Under Zhao Da's control, the horse collided crazily.
On top of the ruined city gate!
The city gate shook for a while and it was obvious that it could no longer hold up. The leader of the imperial army guarding behind the city gate shouted, roared and led many infantrymen to rush to the edge of the city gate and hold on to the city gate.
After Zhao Da turned over and fell from his horse, he rolled to the side. In the midst of the flash of lightning, the second cavalryman also stabbed his horse with his sword and hit the city gate crazily! Before the cavalryman could stand up after landing, the third cavalryman struck him.
When it arrived, the war horse slammed into the second cavalryman and then hit his body against the city gate!
A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and the second cavalryman died with his internal organs shattered.
Of the three hundred cavalry, less than thirty of them rushed to the city gate. However, under the impact of these twenty cavalrymen who risked their lives, the city gate finally could no longer hold up and fell straight towards the inside of the city gate.
Down! The crowded imperial troops inside the city gate didn't even have time to dodge. Dozens of people were smashed down by the huge city gate, and blood suddenly flowed into rivers!
"kill!"
Liu Ling fiercely pulled out the Emperor's Sword from his waist and roared angrily.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Five thousand cavalry rushed towards the city gate like a tide. The dust stirred up as the horses' hooves flew. With boundless murderous intent, the five thousand cavalry rushed straight towards the city gate!
Chen Xiao leaned on the tower and cried out, "The situation is over!"
He hates himself for not immediately opening the city gate to encircle the general and king into the city. He hates himself for being hesitant, and now he has no chance to do it again. God will always give you a chance at some point, seize it.
It will change your life. If you don't catch it, you may be doomed.
If Chen Xiao opens the city gate, his future official career may be smooth sailing. But now, what awaits him are five thousand sharp sabers, sharp spears in the hands of tens of thousands of infantry, and the cold sword of General Wang Liu Ling.
Eyes!
After taking a certain amount of casualties, the five thousand cavalry poured into the city gate like a flood, and the killing began immediately. Facing the imperial army, which was said to be elite but had never experienced a killing battle, the five thousand cavalry in the Gyeonggi Camp were no different.
Yu Hu joins the flock! The death of the three hundred cavalrymen previously inspired the murderous intent of the soldiers in the Gyeonggi camp. Their eyes were red. At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds, which was to kill all the enemies who stood in front of their horses!
As the cavalry entered the city, a large number of infantry rushed into Taiyuan City in an organized manner under the cover of the shield formation. The fighting started from the city gate and spread to the inside of the city and on the city tower. As a large number of infantry attacked the city, the Forbidden Army's defense was complete.
Rout!
"Brother! Where are you?!"
A young general with a dignified appearance in white robes and white armor held an iron spear in his hand while fighting and shouting. This young general was extremely skilled in martial arts, and the imperial troops guarding the city were all just generals in front of him. The thick iron spear
As the iron spears flew up and down, dozens of people from the imperial army who he had killed fell on their backs.
This young general is Zhao Er, who, like his brother Zhao Da, is a domestic slave in Liu Ling's house. The two brothers grew up in Liu's house since childhood. As domestic slaves, their life and death depended on the fact that they were given to Liu Ling.
At that moment, Liu Ling no longer belonged to him. However, Liu Ling had a deep love for the two brothers and was promoted from a humble domestic slave to the commander of Liu Ling's personal soldiers. He also made great achievements in Liu Ling's southern and northern campaigns.
Do not promote their brothers to partial generals one after another because of their humble background.
As domestic slaves, their father did not give them decent names, but named them Zhao Da and Zhao Er.
At this moment, Zhao Da didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and Zhao Er was naturally very anxious.
There were already countless dead souls under the iron gun. Zhao Er went crazy and fought in and out of the defenders to find his brother.
Liu Ling rode into the city and felt a little guilty when he saw Zhao Er, who had already killed him. However, his face was still cold and did not change at all.
"Someone is coming!"
Liu Ling shouted.
The guards behind him shouted in unison: "My subordinates are here."
Liu Ling swept across the battlefield with cold eyes, raised his hand and pointed the battle group in front with his horsewhip and said: "Anyone above the centurion of the imperial army guarding the city will be killed without mercy, and the rest will be forgotten!"
"Got the order!"
The dozens of personal guards behind him are all martial arts masters that his second brother Liu Zhuo has gathered over the years. They are not good at military and legal battles, but they are far more powerful than ordinary generals in close combat. Following his order, dozens of
The cavalryman jumped off his horse, like an eagle fighting in the air. After a few ups and downs, he disappeared from the battlefield and went straight to the general of the Forbidden Army!
At the same time, these soldiers were killing people while shouting: "The General Wang has his destiny, and anyone who lays down his arms will be forgiven. Anyone who resists the power of the General Wang's army will be killed without mercy!" (To be continued)
