Chapter 857 Gan and Shaanxi Rebels, Heroes in the Wall
Under the wall of the dock, corpses were everywhere, the fire was raging, and the black soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were still climbing up the wooden ladder crazily. The large number of Xia troops who invaded Xiaoguan were eager to sweep away the villages and towns under the control of the Zhenrong Army and plunder We have food, grass and military supplies, and we are preparing to defend Xiaoguan to resist the Song army mobilized from the surrounding military states, but it is too late. Originally, during this period of time, other villages, towns and villages were plundered, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to take the lead. Today, they attacked a mere dock. The wall is very strenuous.
The fluffy fire shot out like rain from the top of the dock wall. The soldiers of the Xia Army who were climbing on the wooden ladder fell upside down one after another. They fell heavily to the ground and suffered broken bones. The boiling fire oil and the stinking golden juice It also poured down from the wall, and immediately many soldiers were soaked until their skin and flesh were torn, and they screamed in agony.
Along with the accumulation of rockets, another raging flame immediately ignited under the wall of the dock. Many Xia army soldiers were swallowed up by the fire and let out heart-rending wails. However, almost all the Song people who were used as human shields were They were all slaughtered, but the sound of Hujia horns still did not stop. They could only charge with all their strength, trying to climb to the top of the wall as quickly as possible, and then used the steel knives in their mouths to chop those Song Dynasty soldiers at the top of the city who were worthy of being cut into pieces with a thousand knives. On people!
Three hundred steps away in front of the dock wall, a general from the Xia Kingdom's capture army ordered all the troops to attack continuously. He also noticed that although the Song army inside the dock wall resisted desperately, One of the turrets at the four corners of the wall has been breached by our own soldiers and horses. Hundreds of Xia army infantry have climbed to the top of the city. They have begun to fight hand-to-hand with the Song army guarding the top of the wall. As long as the defenders in the city are not given any With a chance to breathe, this round of fierce attacks should be able to successfully capture the dock wall.
"All the men in the rear formation will press forward, break this bird stronghold, and kill all the Song dogs inside!"
The firelight hit his face, making the general of Xia's captured army look even more ferocious. He waved the halberd in his hand and roared, and groups of Xia soldiers immediately moved towards the dock from the east, west, south and north. The wall blocked the way, but when I saw the crowds, countless people and horses inevitably crowded into a ball.
Speaking of which, there were many military fortresses under the rule of the Junzhou bordering the Xia State in the west of the Song State. Many powerful landowners in the northwest chose the land to build four walls around it, built watchtowers and corner towers, which were slightly like the dock walls of a small city, and organized private armed forces. It is very possible to resist the current invaders' party tribes or the Xia Kingdom's regular troops. However, usually the dock can only accommodate a few thousand people. Although it is surrounded by high walls and repairs and fortifications, it is only equivalent to an area of area. It is just a large village with a larger area and more complete city defenses. The Xia army who attacked Wubi did not expect that they would lose nearly a thousand lives here. The generals who commanded the troops were so resentful that they wished they could immediately Break through this place and cut all the captured Song people into pieces with thousands of knives to vent their anger!
Just as the general of the Xia Army shouted hoarsely at the top of his lungs, ordering the soldiers to rush towards the wall of the dock, he seemed to hear waves of horse hooves coming from behind amid the noisy and chaotic shouts of killing. The general of the Xia Army He immediately turned his head to look, but before he could see clearly, he heard the sound of arrows whistling through the air, and nearly a hundred sharp arrow clusters were already flying straight towards him!
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff!" Amidst a series of muffled sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh, an arrowhead shining with cold light was inserted into the neck of the Xia Army general, and blood spurted out from the front and back of his throat. The general of the Xia Army had a roaring sound in his throat. Before he could raise his hand to cover the wound, he felt all the strength in his body disappear like a tide, and immediately he fell heavily from his horse!
"Song Army! Song Army is attacking!"
The soldiers of the Xia army in the rear formation finally discovered that a piao cavalry was suddenly coming. Hundreds of light cavalry of the Song army had already crashed into the enemy's formation. Niu Gao waved the heavy maces in his hands and flew up and down. The tiger and the tiger were in the wind, and the horse with mane was on his crotch.
Wherever they passed, dozens of Xia troops were hit with their brains shot out, their bones shattered, and they all fell to death under their horses. More than three hundred Jingnan Army cavalry also roared loudly and followed closely behind Niu Gao,
The cavalry gathered into a sharp charge and arrow cavalry formation, and drove deep into the Xia army's formation.
Yao Pingzhong also rode forward and jumped out. He held an iron bow in his hand and held several sharp wolf-tooth arrows in his hand. As the tight bow string was stretched out, it made a harsh crunching sound. At the same time, Yao Pingzhong also
A group of cavalrymen were surprised to find that an enemy army was coming, and the Xia cavalrymen, who led hundreds of cavalry to attack them, looked at them clearly.
When Yao Pingzhong's grandfather, the famous general Yao Si, was fighting with the Xia army, he not only killed the enemy's fierce chieftain with one arrow, but also shot hundreds of Xia soldiers with his own hands during the fierce battle, until he pulled the bow string until his fingers were split and bleeding.
Even Zhao Xu, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty at that time, had heard that Yao Si was an excellent archer and horseman, so he went to see Yao Si and tried to shoot on horseback.
Yao Pingzhong's great-grandfather Yao Bao died in the Battle of Dingchuan, and he was also a national general who sacrificed his life for the country. However, the reason why Miyuan Yao became a general of the Western Army was entirely due to Yao Pingzhong's grandfather Yao Si's riding and shooting skills that were rarely matched by opponents.
As Yao Pingzhong's general, Yao Pingzhong was naturally very proficient in bow and horse skills. However, when he saw him shout loudly, the string of his bow tightened and vibrated, and the cold light shot out from Yao Pingzhong's iron bow one after another.
Five sharp arrows were fired in a series of arrows at the several Xia Army cavalry generals who were charging towards the opposite side!
The three Xia Army cavalry generals howled miserably and fell down from their saddles. The arrows that were shot at them had already penetrated their bodies. Only the two Xia Army generals were surprised to see the arrows coming and each used their own weapons.
His equestrian skills of hiding in the stirrups and edging his horse to dodge could barely avoid the sharp arrows shot by Yao Pingzhong.
More Xia Army knights yelled and cursed, and rushed towards Niu Gao without fear of death. Yao Pingzhong's cavalry rushed over, and dozens of Song Army cavalry collided fiercely with the surging cavalry.
Amidst the tragic neighing of the horses and the roar of the people, any Song Army cavalry who accidentally fell off his horse would be immediately torn apart by a large number of Xia Army infantry who were swarming to kill him!
While several groups of Xia Army cavalry roared and galloped, intending to intercept the oncoming Song Army cavalry, a large number of Xia Army infantry attacking the dock wall also discovered that enemy troops were approaching from behind, and most of the troops and horses mobilized towards Niugao.
Yao Pingzhong's men and horses surrounded them. A swarm of sharp arrows shot up, and then crashed down on the heads of the cavalry led by Niu Gao!
At a few o'clock, the cold star passed over Niu Gao's body. Niu Gao raised his maces again and shot down the cluster of arrows that were whizzing towards him. Suddenly his body was shaken. Niu Gao immediately felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder and saw a wolf.
The fang arrow had penetrated his armor and shot through his shoulder. The feathers at the tail of the wolf fang arrow trembled slightly.
Dozens more Song troops were hit by arrows. The Niu Gao monster's eyes widened and he stared at the Xia troops who were surrounded from all sides. After all, the difference in strength between the enemy and ours was still too great. Although the powerful cavalry suddenly launched a surprise attack, they could
This made the enemy's formation loose and chaotic, but these Xia soldiers and horses seemed to be well-trained troops. Even if the general was killed by an arrow, the horse infantry, led by their generals, would immediately launch a counterattack against the Song army that had sneaked in.
The dock wall attacked by the Xia army was able to take a breather and reorganize, but if Niu Gao and Yao Pingzhong led their light cavalry to continue fighting with the Xia army, which was equipped with both horse and infantry troops, they would be in trouble!
However, just when most of the Xia army focused their attention on Niu Gao and Yao Pingzhong's Song army, the east gate of the dock wall where corpses were piled up under the surrounding city wall suddenly made a muffled creaking sound and was slowly opened.
Already.
Suddenly, more than a hundred knights, with a spear in hand and a big man riding a green horse at his crotch, rushed out. More than two hundred horse hooves struck the ground tightly, splashing dust all over the sky. And in the east
Not far from the door, the Xia army's crossbowmen, who had just turned around and rained down arrows on Niu Gao's cavalry formation, were shocked when they suddenly saw the defenders on the dock wall suddenly charging out. The sharp triangular iron gun blade in the big man's hand was already in his hand.
The firelight shone with a faint red light, and it immediately stretched out like a poisonous snake, lifting up the Xia Army archer in front of him!
Niu Gao, who was galloping on horseback, also noticed that the men and horses guarding the wall of the dock suddenly came out, and the Xia army soldiers and horses who were caught off guard rushed over. He couldn't help but exclaimed: Good! It turns out that the generals guarding here are also extremely courageous.
I dare to ride into the battle! Originally, I planned to endure the hardships until brother Xiao Tang led a large group of troops to come to the rescue, but now I have accepted the favor of the hero in the wall!
