The defenders at the top of the city were not idle either. Seeing that the opponent's intentions were becoming more and more obvious, Han Desui tried to find a way to get the defenders at the top of the city to approach the city gate to block the attack. At the same time, he assembled a large number of archers to form a powerful firepower in the square behind the city gate.
Strike circle. At the same time, Han Desui also ordered to mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry to gather on the streets on both sides of the city gate. He was also prepared for hand-to-hand street fighting.
The war drums rumbled, and Ma Qingshan issued the order to attack the city. The Zhou soldiers who had been pretending to attack the city since the morning finally launched the real siege. But in fact, their attack was still a feint, in order to cooperate with the attack at the city gate.
attack.
At the city gate, tens of thousands of Zhou cavalry infantry, led by Yang Jun's cavalry battalion of 3,000 people, were ready to attack. When the soldiers and horses under the city launched an attack, Ma Qingshan roared fiercely and moved his flag forward.
Where to play.
The cavalry led by the freshmen of the Guards Cavalry Battalion began to charge. They were wrapped in soaked cloth and were soaked from head to toe. The key parts of the war horses were also covered with wet cloth, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton.
They were dripping wet as if they had crawled out of the water, and with their heads and faces covered, they looked like ghost knights in the dark. With the roar of horse hooves, they rushed across the bamboo bridge they had built, and rushed towards the river through the water flowing all over the ground.
In the dark city gate, which was still as hot as a furnace. As they approached the city gate, all the cavalry and war horses felt the burning sensation on their faces. The wet cloth on their bodies quickly evaporated and dried, and the scorching air made the horses and horses feel uncomfortable.
It was difficult to breathe. The whole person seemed to be jumping into a lava cave.
However, none of this could stop them. They held their breath and squinted their eyes, leaned on their horses, urged their horses to rush into the dark and hot city gate, and galloped into the dark corridor with torches exposed in front of them.
.
Yang Jun's Guards Cavalry Battalion is a highly capable force with a very special composition. Although the Battle of Xixia was extremely glorious, countless soldiers died in that battle. Some of them already have
When his wife and children died, they left behind a large number of orphans from the war. Yang Jun took in a large number of such orphans and raised them according to the specific circumstances, taught them by his side, and made them become members of his own cavalry battalion. For these,
For the young people raised by Yang Jun, Yang Jun is not only their commander-in-chief and officer, but also the father who raised them. They have a father-like affection for Yang Jun because Yang Jun has made up for their loss.
The vacancy of their father leads them to a bright road.
Many outstanding figures in the Guards Battalion have already held important positions in the Forbidden Army and local soldiers. Yang Jun is not afraid of others' comments about nepotism. He just wants to let the descendants of these men who died for the country enjoy the benefits brought by their fathers.
Enyin. He believes that this is what it should be. Of course, for himself, this is also a means of controlling the army. When the soldiers of the guard battalion under his command are scattered to the corners of the army to hold military positions,
At that time, there was no longer any opposition force against him in the entire Zhou army. Of course, this was a secret in Yang Jun's heart, and he would not tell anyone.
In addition to the descendants of the men who died in the battle, there are also many living generals who have also taken the initiative to send their children and grandchildren to Yang Jun. They were born with Yang Jun, and their children and grandchildren will also follow Yang Jun through life and death. More importantly,
They all understand that their children and grandchildren will have a better future with Yang Jun.
This guard battalion originally had only 500 people, but that was only the external number. The actual number was more than 3,000. During this Northern Expedition, Yang Jun took all of them with him, because this was not only an opportunity for training
, is also a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and Yang Jun cannot miss this opportunity for them all to get a real baptism of battle. With the situation like today, Yang Jun has to use this elite force around him.
The war horse galloped in the long corridor, and the horse's hooves wrapped in cotton made a dull sound on the ground. The sound echoed on the surrounding dark walls, which seemed extremely strange.
The bodies of the cavalrymen in the Guards Battalion felt like they were being burned by fire. Their eyes were dry and their whole bodies were in severe pain. The air was so hot that it was difficult to breathe. Every time they took a breath, it was like breathing in a ball of fire.
.However, everyone gritted their teeth, stared at the light at the end of the corridor, looked at the gradually enlarging light, gripped their weapons and shields, and prepared for battle. Everyone knew in their hearts,
The end of that light may not necessarily be a kind of relief. In addition to the cool breeze of summer nights, what awaits you may be eternal darkness.
"Get ready...set up your shield!" A hoarse roar came from the front. It was the voice of He Chuanzong, the commander of the Guards Battalion who was rushing to the front. He Chuanzong's father was just an ordinary soldier who died in Xixia. His father
He Chuanzong was only six years old after he died in the battle. Yang Jun sent someone to take him to his side. He was originally a child with a bleak future after losing his father. From then on, he had a new life. Many years later, He Chuanzong was already the commander of the Guards Battalion, regardless of martial arts skills.
The strategy has been approved by Yang Jun, and he is also the object of love of all the guards and cavalry. His leading the way is one of the driving forces for everyone to move forward. Hearing his voice at this moment, everyone's hearts instantly settled down.
The big shields stood up in unison, and the next moment, four war horses galloping side by side broke through the boundary between darkness and light, and rushed out of the hell-like corridor of the city gate. At that moment, the scorching heat on their bodies was destroyed by Xia
Dispelled by the cool night wind, the whole person seemed to have been reborn, freed from the burning pain of hell.
However, along with the cool breeze of that summer night came the sound of countless arrows piercing the air. As expected, the moment the cavalry rushed out of the city gate, countless arrows pierced the air from all directions, and the entire entrance to the city gate was
For an instant, it was like a nest enveloped by dancing wasps, with no blind spots anywhere.
The huge shield was filled with arrows in an instant, and then exploded in the hands of several cavalry. Hundreds of arrows were inserted into the horses and cavalry in an instant. Amidst the screams and the neighing of the horses,
The war horses and knights rolled to the ground and rushed out of the cave entrance. A dozen or so cavalry horses that rushed out met the same fate. A dense rain of arrows blocked the city gate entrance. To put it bluntly, the cavalrymen were nothing more than a fly.
Or mosquitoes, I am afraid they will be shot to the ground in such a rain of arrows.
Dozens of cavalrymen from the Guards Cavalry Battalion who rushed out in succession were shot into hedgehogs in the dense rain of arrows, and the furthest distance was less than ten feet. The passage at the city gate seemed to have become an abyss leading to death, as if
Yes, the door to hell opened by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be insurmountable at all.
However, if you think so, you will underestimate the ability of the three thousand cavalry of the Guards Battalion around Yang Jun. Yang Jun has spent countless efforts on them. He gathered them around him when he was a child and invited many capable people.
Scholars taught them various talents. Wen had famous Confucians in the world, everyone in the Imperial Academy was his teacher, Wu Ze personally taught the art of war and battle formations, and invited martial arts masters to teach martial arts. No matter you are a court official or a martial arts master, Yang Jun only needs to take a fancy to you.
After that, he paid a lot of money to hire him.
Everyone grew up in this environment. I dare not say that they are versatile in both civil and military skills, but they are definitely different from ordinary people. Among them, martial arts is one of the skills that Yang Jun values the most, because what Yang Jun needs is not
Instead of being weak scholars, we must train them into a group of warriors. Not only are they physically strong and have superb martial arts skills, but they are also insightful and insightful. In terms of martial arts, the three thousand cavalrymen of the Guards Battalion are all masters, and they are a group that has been tempered for thousands of times.
Top notch people.
The brothers who rushed out of the city gate were instantly killed by a hail of arrows. Of course, all the cavalry in the rear saw it. He Chuanzong, the commander of the Guards Cavalry Battalion, was at the front of the team. He saw the situation outside. In fact, it was not beyond his own expectations.
Anticipation. When charging, we should have thought of such a situation.
The war horses rushed forward, and He Chuanzong and a dozen riders on his left and right had already arrived at the entrance to the city gate. The rain of arrows in the sky was carried by the icy wind and hit them head-on. The shield of a soldier beside him burst in an instant. At this moment, He Chuanzong said in his mouth
A deafening shout broke out.
"Abandon your horse and charge with me!" He Chuanzong roared, holding his shield diagonally toward the exit with his arms, facing the rain of arrows in front of him. Arrows came like rain. He Chuanzong rushed out of the cave one by one and was immediately hit by countless arrows.
The attack. At the same time as the shield exploded, the war horse under his crotch also screamed and fell to the ground, and the front of the war horse was full of arrows. However, at the moment when the war horse fell and the shield in his hand exploded, He Chuanzong's body rose into the air on the horse, leaping up to ten feet.
Xu Zhigao. At the same time, silver light flowed in his hand, and an iron spear in his hand danced like a wheel, hitting the arrows and sending them flying in all directions.
The reason why He Chuanzong was able to become the commander, in addition to his father-like admiration and loyalty to Yang Jun, was because he was the leader among the three thousand cavalry in the Guards Battalion. The spear in his hand was unparalleled in the camp.
If you can defeat anyone, what you get is the true inheritance of the Overlord Spear of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan. The marksmanship of the Overlord Spear is famous for its rapidity, closeness and ferociousness, and its ultimate trick is that its moves are like lightning, coming and going without leaving a trace. At this moment, He Chuanzong is using the unique trick of the Overlord Spear.
One of the names is "Peacock Spreading Its Tail". As the name suggests, a spear in the hand dances like a peacock spreading its tail, making it airtight and watertight.
He Chuanzong was not alone. When he jumped into the air, a dozen cavalrymen also jumped from their shot horses into the air. Each of these people had their own unique skills, some wielded long swords, and some danced wildly with their cloaks.
, arrows were flying everywhere after being hit by them. When more than a dozen people fell to the ground, none of them died, and only two were injured.
A dozen people fell three feet away, formed a battle formation amidst He Chuanzong's roar, and rushed towards the Liao army fortifications dozens of steps away. When He Chuanzong saw the opponent's encircling formation, he had some concerns in his heart, and he rushed towards
It is the enemy's fortifications directly to the north, which is also the most lethal position for the opponent's city gate opening. Moreover, doing so will prevent the opponent's archers from attacking behind them when they rush to a certain location.
Shooting with the flanks. This is also a crucial point for yourself.
