Chapter five hundred and ninety third champion defeats the enemy
"I'm fine!" Liu Xiu glanced around and said, "Pass the order, the Red Eyebrow Army may have disguised themselves as civilians. Our officers and men need to be more careful!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Fu An agreed and conveyed Liu Xiu's words.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath, held the Red Sky Sword, and faced the Red Eyebrow Army in front again.
In fact, Nancheng was not captured. To be precise, there were no Red Eyebrow Army outside Nancheng City. The Red Eyebrow Army Liu Xiu and others encountered at this time had already been lurking in Xiuwu City.
Their role is to create panic and chaos in the city. As long as there is chaos in the city, the morale of the defenders will naturally be turbulent. In this way, they can help the red eyebrow army attacking the city to the maximum extent and tear apart the defenders' defense line.
This method of siege is also a method often used by the Red Eyebrow Army.
There are quite a few of these Red Eyebrow Soldiers lurking in the city. Some put on red eyebrows and tied red belts on their arms to revert to the appearance of Red Eyebrow Army soldiers, while others continue to dress up as common people and mix among the crowd, waiting for opportunities.
And move.
The girl who attacked Liu Xiu just now is one of them.
Liu Xiu took the lead and charged forward. Soon, they encountered the main force of the enemy. They saw hundreds of red-browed troops rushing towards them. They were all holding sharp blades, wiping their red eyebrows and grinning, as if
Like a ghost.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu stopped and nodded to Fu An. Fu An understood, waved his hand forward and shouted: "Yelin Guards!"
Following his shout, the Yulin guards stepped forward one after another and quickly formed a square formation on the street. Fu An shouted: "Get ready to shoot arrows!"
Wow
The Yulin Guards who had finished lining up took off their crossbows one after another. People picked up their crossbows and aimed at the Red Eyebrow Army ahead.
If you look carefully, you will find that the crossbow used by the Yulin Guards is significantly different from the big yellow crossbow used by the Han army. Not only is the body larger, but it is also much thicker. The most important point is that from the crossbow
What poked out was not one arrow, but three arrows.
This was the repeating crossbow imitated by the Yu Lin Army. When Liu Xiu rescued Fu An, he captured a repeating crossbow. He did not make any announcement about it at the time. After returning to Luoyang, he immediately had someone imitate it.
Manufacturing crossbows inherently requires extremely high craftsmanship, and manufacturing repeating crossbows is even more laborious. It is impossible to mass-produce repeating crossbows. After so long, the repeating crossbows copied by Luoyang are only enough to equip some of them.
The Yulin Guards and even the imperial guards could only watch helplessly.
At this time, Fu An ordered the Yulin Guards to use their repeated crossbows. Each row of Yulin Guards only had ten people, but they shot out as many as thirty crossbow arrows.
With just one volley, the charging Red Eyebrow Army was shot down and a large group of people were shot down.
After the first row of Yulin Guards fired their crossbows, they immediately squatted down and began to reload the crossbows with the crossbows. The second row of Yulin Guards continued to fire volleys.
With the sound of the crossbow machine popping, another group of Red Eyebrow Army fell down on the opposite side. The Yulin Guards in the second row were the same as the first row. After shooting the crossbow arrows, they immediately squatted down to load the arrows.
The Yulin Guards raised their crossbows and continued to fire...
The people in the front row finished shooting, and the people in the back row immediately took over. After the seventh row of Feather Guards completed their salvo, the first row of Feather Guards also just finished hitting the arrows, and everyone stood up in unison.
, continue to shoot arrows forward.
Although there are only ten people on the Yulin Guard side firing arrows each time, they are continuous and continuous.
Round after round of crossbow arrows caused huge casualties to the Red Eyebrow Army. The corpses lying on the street were piled on top of each other, forming a thick layer.
The morale of the ferocious and cruel Red Eyebrow Army was quickly suppressed by the crossbows fired by the Yulin Guards. The people behind them did not dare to rush forward rashly anymore, or they retreated continuously, or found bunkers on both sides of the street to hide.
Seeing that his side had completely suppressed the enemy's arrogance, Liu Xiu swung his sword forward and shouted loudly: "Behead the traitors!"
"kill"
The Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army roared together. People put away their crossbows, drew their swords from their ribs, and charged forward together. wavv
Liu Xiu, Li Tong, Fu An, Long Yuan and others took the lead. Even Zong Guang brandished his sword and started a close hand-to-hand combat with the Red Eyebrow Army.
On Liu Xiu's side, the Forbidden Army plus the Yulin Army totaled more than a thousand people. On the other hand, the Red Eyebrow Army on the opposite side had more than a hundred people killed by crossbows first, and the remaining two to three hundred people were
, facing more than a thousand elite Imperial Guards and Yulin Army, how can they be their opponents?
The Red Eyebrow Army, which consisted of only two to three hundred people, was quickly dispersed. Some of the Red Eyebrow Army were surrounded by enemies that were several times or even ten times more numerous. They had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth. They were finally hacked to death by random blades.
land.
It is estimated that less than ten of the Red Eyebrow Army who had been lurking in Xiuwu City for many days escaped in the end. The rest were all killed by the Forbidden Army and the Yulin Guards.
After quickly clearing out the bandit troops in Nancheng, Liu Xiu left Gao Bo and other county soldiers to clean up the battlefield and continued to hunt down the Red Eyebrow Army in the city. Liu Xiu himself led the imperial army and Yulin Guards to Beicheng.
Jia Fu arrived at Beicheng first.
When he led the Beijing garrison and arrived at Beicheng, not to mention the presence of the Red Eyebrow Army on top of the city, there were even dense crowds of Red Eyebrow Army inside the city. The county soldiers fighting above and below the city were completely in pain.
Hard support.
At this point in the battle in Beicheng, the enemy troops had already entered the city. Logically speaking, the county soldiers should have been defeated long ago.
It was just because Liu Xiu was practicing martial arts now that the county soldiers gritted their teeth and persisted in fighting.
It can be said that their battle with the Red Eyebrow Army at this time was entirely for their faith. His Majesty was in the city, and they could not let him suffer any loss, and people also firmly believed that your Majesty would definitely come to rescue them.
Supported by this belief, Xiuwu County soldiers showed extraordinary fighting will, especially the county soldiers who retreated into the city gate. They blocked the city gate with their own flesh and blood and refused to give up.
The Red Eyebrow Army who entered the city opened the city gate, allowing the large number of troops outside to enter the city.
Many county soldiers had been injured in more than ten places, but they were still holding on to the city wall to keep themselves from falling, and continued to fight and fight with the enemy.
When Jia Fu arrived, he saw such a tragic scene. Jia Fu's eyes quickly became bloodshot and he shouted sternly: "Ben Ming Lang"
With his voice, dozens of people from the Beijing garrison rushed out, all holding horse-cutting swords. They shouted in unison and charged towards the Red Eyebrow Army in front.
Jia Fu dragged the square halberd with the painting pole, rushed up to a red-browed soldier, and stabbed him with the halberd.
Poof! The halberd pierced the back of the Red Eyebrow Army. Jia Fu pushed the halberd and pushed the Red Eyebrow Soldier into the crowd of Red Eyebrow Army. Poof, the tip of the halberd penetrated the lower abdomen of another soldier.
A halberd hit two people. Jia Fu used his arms hard and shouted, picking up the two soldiers together.
After throwing away the two red eyebrow soldiers, Jia Fu used all his strength and swept across with his halberd.
Click, click, click! The halberd drew a half-moon-shaped cold light in the air. The cold light passed by, and there was a bloody light. Four red-browed soldiers were cut in half by Jia Fu's halberd. Their upper bodies flew away.
He came out, but his lower body was still standing in the same place.
Not to mention that Jia Fu's military force was among the best among the Han armies, even if we looked at the whole world, there were only a few people who could match him.
The desperate resistance of the county soldiers and the miserable situation of the county soldiers completely aroused Jia Fu's anger. He took the lead and rushed to the front. The red eyebrow troops blocking him were either pierced by halberds or killed.
He was cut in two by a halberd.
He pushed forward more than ten meters in one breath, and the broken limbs and corpses on the ground also spread more than ten meters away.
Jia Fu was brave and invincible, and his subordinate Ben Minglang and the garrison in Beijing were also brave and good at fighting. The Red Eyebrow Army who invaded the city were killed with the arrival of Jia Fu and his men, causing a great chaos.
When the county soldiers who were originally in desperate situation saw this, they were all so excited that tears filled their eyes and their bodies trembled. People screamed: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here to save us! Your Majesty has sent troops to save us!"
"Kill all the thieves." With the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the county soldiers suddenly improved, and they cooperated with Jia Fu's garrison in Beijing to launch a counterattack against the Red Eyebrow Army.
The Red Eyebrow Army was already unable to resist Jia Fu alone. Now the county soldiers counterattacked from behind, and the Red Eyebrow Army was defeated even faster. The Red Eyebrow Army that entered the city dropped nearly a thousand corpses of their companions and rushed toward them.
Retreat on top of the city.
Jia Fu refused to give up. He picked up his halberd and started to rush towards the city wall along the steps. The city wall was narrow, so Jia Fu swung his halberd to kill people more easily. Wherever he passed, the sharp blade cut him.
The sound of bones is endless.
The Red Eyebrow Army around him no longer fell down one by one, but fell in rows. When Jia Fu charged into the Red Eyebrow Army, he did not let a tiger join the flock of sheep, but charged towards him like a tank.
Crush before.
When Jia Fu followed the steps and reached the top of the city, the steps of the city wall behind him were completely dyed red with blood, and there was a thick layer of broken corpses on them.
At this time, let alone the Red Eyebrow Army being frightened to death by Jia Fu, even the Xiuwu County soldiers in the city were dumbfounded. This was the first time they saw what Jia Fu looked like when he went on the battlefield.
There are no human beings here, they are simply gods descending to earth.
"The champion will win." A county soldier came back from the shock and saw Jia Fu, who had already climbed up the city wall and waved the invincible square halberd with a painting pole. He was so excited that he couldn't help but raise his arms and shout.
The county soldiers present also woke up, and people shouted in unison: "The champion will win! The champion will win."
On the battlefield where large armies are fighting, one person's power is very limited, but there are some people who can mobilize the morale of the entire army by themselves, making the entire army feel like they have been given a shot of chicken blood and forget about death.
, forgetting fear, there is only one thought left in his mind, which is to kill the enemy.
Xiang Yu during the conflict between Chu and Han was such a person, and Jia Fu, Wu Han, etc. in the early Eastern Han Dynasty were also such people.
The Red Eyebrow Army had already torn through Xiu Wu's city defense, and was just about to open the city gate and let the large group of people outside enter the city. But at this juncture, Jia Fu led his army and arrived, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. Red Eyebrow Army
The army was really unwilling to retreat like this, but they really couldn't withstand the fierce attack led by Jia Fu.
Jia Fu alone has limited power after all, but the terrible thing is that all the soldiers under Jia Fu's command are like killing monsters with red eyes.
The Red Eyebrow Army has always been known for its bravery and staunchness, but the collision between them and Jia Fu's Beijing garrison was really no match for them.
When Liu Xiu led the Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army to the North City, the Red Eyebrow Army could no longer support it. Many soldiers slid down the rope to the city. However, many times, they would slip halfway and the rope would be blocked by the city wall. The Han army on the top was cut off, and the people clutched the rope tightly in their hands, screaming and falling to the bottom of the city wall.
Liu Xiu and others who rushed to Beicheng did not engage in a fierce battle with the Red Eyebrow Army. They just came to harvest the little tail left by the Red Eyebrow Army.
When the Red Eyebrow Army retreated hastily outside the city, the Yulin Army had the power to use force again, using repeated crossbows to kill the Red Eyebrow Army who fled outside the city.
This time they are not required to shoot volleys. It depends entirely on individual performance. If you have Yulin Guards who can shoot arrows quickly and hit arrows quickly, you can kill more enemy troops.
The Red Eyebrow Army was defeated all the way and was chased and shot by crossbows all the way. Among the Red Eyebrow Army who were shot and killed outside the city, there were eight hundred if not one thousand.
