In front of him, he could vaguely see the tall camp wall. Liu Xiule stopped his horse, turned back, and said: "Brothers, the cavalry, will take the lead with me to charge. Gongsun, you lead the brothers, the infantry, and follow up later!"
"Yes!" Feng Yi nodded in agreement.
Liu Xiu dismounted and said at the same time: "Wrap the horseshoes!" As he spoke, he pulled off the cloth and wrapped all four horseshoes of the horse. The other soldiers followed suit and wrapped the horseshoes tightly.
When he was ready, Liu Xiu ordered: "Charge!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in riding out and rushed straight to the Mang camp in front. At the same time, he picked up a crossbow machine.
Jia Fu, Ma Wu and others followed closely behind, either holding crossbows or twisting bows and nodding arrows.
Outside the Mang Army's east camp, there were many soldiers standing guard and patrolling. They did not hear the sound of horse hooves, but felt the ground shaking slightly.
Especially the soldiers standing guard felt it particularly clearly. People looked at each other with bewildered expressions on their faces.
At this time, a soldier suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the east and said: "There are cavalry..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a whooshing sound, and a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from the dim fog, hitting him in the throat. The reckless soldier didn't say a word, he fell to the ground on his back, and was killed on the spot.
The rest of the reckless army was shocked. People opened their mouths wide and were about to shout. Swish, swish, swish, crossbow arrows and arrows kept flying over. Some soldiers were hit by arrows in their bodies, and some soldiers were hit in their heads.
Hit by an arrow.
In just an instant, all the reckless soldiers at the gate fell to the ground.
"Ah! It's an enemy attack! There are enemy troops coming to steal the camp -" Although most of the sentry posts were shot and killed, there were still many patrolling guards nearby, and people were tearing their necks and shouting.
Immediately, the eastern camp of the reckless army was like a pot exploding. People were shouting and horses were screaming, and countless soldiers ran out from the tents. They gathered at the camp gate, formed a fighting formation, and were ready. There were other soldiers who were furious.
He ran towards the Chinese military tent and reported the news to Wang Yi.
At this time, Wang Yi was furious in the Chinese army's tent.
The Han army had already conquered Wancheng and was about to enter Yingchuan. However, the small Kunyang city had not been defeated after so many days of fierce attack. Wang Yi's lungs were about to explode with anger.
The generals below were so scolded by him that they couldn't even raise their heads. A soldier stumbled to the door of the central army's tent and said loudly: "General, it's bad, the rebels are coming!"
When Wang Yi and the generals present heard this, they all took a deep breath. Wang Yi shouted towards the door: "Get in!"
The soldier who reported the news ran into the Chinese army's tent, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and stammered urgently: "Report...report to the general, the rebels are attacking Dongying. Now the gate has been taken over!"
Wang Yi stood up involuntarily, his eyes widened, and asked: "But Liu Yan personally led the army?"
According to the letter written by Liu Xiu, Liu Yan's first film will arrive in Kunyang in five days. It is only the third day now, so why did it suddenly arrive in Kunyang?
Furthermore, Liu Yan came from Nanyang. If he wanted to attack, he should attack Nanying or Xiying nearby. Why did he suddenly go around to Dongying?
The soldier who reported the news said: "Reporting to the general, the villain...the villain only saw Liu Xiu's flag, and...did not see Liu Yan's flag!"
Only Liu Xiu, not Liu Yan? Wang Yi blinked and asked: "How many troops are there in the enemy army?"
"Probably... there are probably less than a thousand cavalry, followed by... followed by one or two thousand infantry!" the messenger soldier said cautiously.
Wang Yi stood up and glared at the soldier who reported the news, then sat back on the couch. He thought it was Liu Yan who led the main force of the rebels to attack, but it turned out to be Liu Xiu's troops!
Liu Xiu's First Division was stationed about ten miles outside Dongying. Wang Yi had known about it for a long time, but Liu Xiu's First Division had fewer troops, so he didn't take it to heart.
I had extra mercy and let Liu Xiu go, but now Liu Xiu has come to the door on his own initiative without knowing whether to live or die! How dare he attack Dongying with his meager troops? It is simply ridiculous!
"I know it, general! Go down!"
"Yes! General!" The soldier who reported the news secretly breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, bowed and exited the central military tent.
The reckless generals in the Chinese army's tent also understood what was going on. After calming down, they all sneered. One of the reckless generals laughed out loud and said: "When our army first arrived in Kunyang, Liu Xiu led Our troops took the initiative to attack regardless of life and death, but were severely defeated by our army. People always don’t look back until they hit the south wall, but Liu Xiu was lucky. After he hit the south wall, he had to hit it again!"
"Haha..." The reckless generals in the Chinese army tent laughed one after another, and Wang Yi was also happy and happy. Ju Guuba stood up with eyes shining, cupped his hands and said: "General, this time is the end of the world. General Ding beheads Liu Xiu and presents it to the general!"
In the battle against Kunyang City, he is useless, but in a face-to-face confrontation, his abilities can be fully displayed.
Wang Yi smiled calmly, waved his hand to Juwuba, and said: "Why don't you use a knife to kill a chicken? General Juwu, please be patient."
As soon as he finished speaking, another reckless general stood up and asked for a tassel: "General, I am willing to fight Liu Xiu'er!" The man who asked for a tassel was named Zhang Yi. His own martial arts was not very strong, but he was able to lead troops. He is a good fighter.
Wang Yi looked at Zhang Yi, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Since General Zhang has volunteered, I will be in the Chinese army's tent, waiting for your victory!"
Zhang Yi stepped in and saluted, saying: "General, I obey!" After saying this, he tossed his robe, turned around and walked out.
The corners of Wang Yi's lips raised and he sneered: "Liu Xiu thought that Liu Yan would be sure of victory if he led his army to help. He also wanted to make a great contribution before Liu Yan. A kid with a yellow mouth doesn't know how high the sky is. Today, let him Liu Yan Show comes and goes!"
A mang general answered: "Today, we will kill Liu Xiu first and sacrifice his head to the flag, and then take advantage of the victory to capture Kunyang. Even if Liu Yan comes, our millions of troops will be enough to defeat one person." The rebels will never come back!"
This was Wang Yi's favorite thing to hear. Hearing this, he threw his head back and laughed.
Dongying Yuanmen.
The battle here has already begun. Liu Xiu led the cavalry and rushed directly into the reckless troops who were ready for battle.
Dong-dong-dong! The sound of the collision between horses and human bodies was a continuous one. The soldiers in the front row were hit with broken bones and tendons, and they fell down in a long row.
As for the cavalry on horseback, many of them fell off their horses and fell into the crowd of reckless soldiers, and were soon overwhelmed by the reckless soldiers.
Liu Xiu was riding on a horse, holding a spear in his hand, and stabbed into the camp of the Mang army in front of him repeatedly. Swish! The spear pierced into the crowd. Every time he pulled it back, a bloody arrow was brought out, accompanied by the soldiers of the Mang army. of screams.
The spear was broken, Liu Xiu pulled out the Chixiao sword from under his ribs, and slashed at the reckless army in front.
Liu Xiu's bravery also inspired the morale of the entire army. The cavalry continued to advance forward. At the same time, spears and knives kept slashing into the crowd.
The formation of the reckless troops blocking the camp gate was forced back continuously by the fierce offensive of the Han army.
When Zhang Yi rushed to the camp gate, what he saw was that his own soldiers were being forced to retreat. His face darkened, and he shouted: "Hold on! No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat -"
But no one among the soldiers below listened to him at all. The reckless soldiers directly facing the Han army in front were forced to retreat continuously, squeezing the soldiers behind and could only retreat.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi became furious, drew his sword, and killed two soldiers who kept retreating.
If he had not taken action, the situation would probably have been better. When he took action, the soldiers around him were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
This situation made Zhang Yi stunned. He was on the battlefield, and the soldiers below him were in front of him. How dare he openly escape from the battle?
Well! These reckless soldiers in front of him really dare to do this!
Maybe even Zhang Yi didn't realize that the Mang army fighting here at Yuanmen was not the capital county at all, but the local county army.
After learning that Liu Yan was going to lead the main force of the Han army to aid Kunyang, Wang Yi had dispatched his capital troops to Nanying and Xiying.
Wang Yi's approach is actually very easy to understand. After all, Liu Yan's First Division must be coming from Nanyang in the southwest, so Liu Yan's First Division's main attack direction is either his own Nanying or his own Western Camp.
Therefore, it is of course necessary to strengthen the defense of Nanying and Xiying. The local county troops are not reliable. The only ones Wang Yi can trust are the Capital Army. He transferred the main force of the Capital Army to Nanying and Xiying, which is completely
Reasonable.
Currently, there are only 10,000 capital troops left in Dongying, and they are all stationed around the central military tent. The reckless soldiers here at the gate of Dongying are all county troops from various places.
The county army was already full of resentment towards the imperial court and the capital army. Now Zhang Yi openly killed the soldiers of the county army. The officers and soldiers of the county army don't care who you are. In order to save their lives, they ran away first.
At first, only sporadic soldiers fled. Gradually, more and more soldiers gave up fighting and turned around and ran into the camp.
Zhang Yi's face turned red with anger, and while slashing the deserters around him with his sword, he shouted angrily: "No one is allowed to run! No one is allowed to run! Anyone who escapes from battle will be killed without mercy! Kill without mercy -"
He was roaring at the top of his lungs when suddenly he saw a chaos in his own camp in front of him. A big man with a black face, riding a tall horse, rushed out from the crowd of reckless soldiers.
This man came straight towards Zhang Yi carrying a big knife dripping with blood.
Zhang Yi was startled, and quickly raised the sword in his hand, pointed it at the black-faced man, and asked: "Come and give me your name!"
"Go to hell!" This black-faced man was none other than Ma Wu and Ma Zizhang. He urged his horse to rush towards Zhang Yi, raised his sword and dropped it. Zhang Yi subconsciously raised his sword horizontally, blocked it upwards, and clanged.
Click!
The sword was shaken off and fell to the ground. Looking at Zhang Yi again, half of his head flew out, leaving only half of his head still on his shoulder. The remaining eye blinked, and then he fell off the horse.
Ma Wu shook the nine-eared eight-ringed sword in his hand, and a line of blood dripped on the ground. He shouted loudly: "Kill anyone who is an enemy of our Han army!"
"Kill -" Ma Wu's sword slashed Zhang Yi, and the morale of the Han army soldiers became stronger. People shouted in unison and used all their strength to launch a fierce attack on the few remaining reckless troops.
The military tent in the Mang camp.
"Report——" Following the shout, a soldier rushed into the central military tent and shouted to Wang Yi inside: "General, General Zhang is killed, and the camp gate will no longer be able to be defended!"
After hearing this, not only Wang Yi stood up, but all the brave generals in the camp stood up in unison. Zhang Yi had just left, how could he be killed so quickly? He couldn't be killed as soon as he arrived at the camp gate.
