As for Li Ping, who was now ordered to lead the entire Imperial Guard, he naturally couldn't take the lead - the commanders were already on the battlefield, so who would take command - so this good thing fell on Lu Qing's head.
Although Lu Qing had not expected this before, after all, in terms of record and qualifications, no one in the Imperial Guard would have his turn to lead the team into battle. But now that it is his turn, he must not embarrass his Ba brothers, let alone
Disgrace the Praetorian Guard.
The surrounding guards were all from Ba people, so naturally they all had the same idea as Lu Qing.
These Ba soldiers, who were called "Sichuan Monkeys" by the Han soldiers, used their thin and light bodies to dodge arrows quickly and move through the crowd. They quickly rushed to the front, crawling three times and five times.
Climb the barrier.
"Kill!" A Ba Ren captain waved his sword and knocked over a Northern Zhou crossbowman who was caught off guard. He kicked him off the barrier with a flying kick. The Northern Zhou crossbowman's body rolled and knocked down several people.
.
The soldiers of the Han army saw that these Ba people, who were often laughed at in the army because of their thin stature, were killing so bravely. How could they hold back? Each and every one of them immediately rushed forward with all their strength. No matter how hard they tried, they could not let the Sichuan monkeys in.
Show off your power ahead!
When fighting in the mountains, everyone asks themselves that they are no match for the Sichuan Monkeys. Several exercises have been defeated by the Sichuan Monkeys because they were held in the mountains. Everyone has even heard that the previous battle at Qiziling was due to the strong physical strength of the Pakistani soldiers in the army.
, climbed forward quickly, and did not give the Zhou people enough reaction time to break through in one fell swoop. Even now, the main force in the Battle of Qinshui is still the Ba people.
Since the Ba people have already ruled the roost in the mountains, and if they are allowed to show off their power on the plains, where will the faces of the Jiangnan, Guanzhong and Jingxiang children be put?
Lu Qing rushed through the gap in three steps and two steps at a time. Several Northern Zhou soldiers discovered him almost at the same time and jumped on him.
A thunderbolt was thrown from behind by some bastard, and exploded behind the barrier. The air wave set off directly knocked the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the ground, but the air wave pushed Lu Qing and staggered.
Wow, the whole person is leaning directly against the gap of the barrier.
Lu Qing had to say that this bastard's throw was quite accurate.
A Northern Zhou soldier screamed and jumped down from the barrier. He reached out and pinched Lu Qing's neck. The handle of the knife in Lu Qing's hand was violently pushed back and hit the man's lower abdomen. The man suffered pain and his hand was slightly injured.
Suddenly, Lu Qing had already twisted around and knocked the man away.
Although Lu Qing is thin and small, in terms of flexibility and killing skills, he is one of the best among the Imperial Guards. Otherwise, how could he convince the public?
The advantage of the commander's outstanding individual combat ability is that the guards can have more energy to clear the battlefield on the outside. Soon the surrounding Northern Zhou crossbowmen and other soldiers were all cleaned up by Lu Qing's guards, and the Han army officers and soldiers were already there.
Keep pouring in from the gap.
Lu Qing took a breath and climbed up the wall with the horizontal knife.
Behind the barrier is the open space that has long appeared in the intelligence. Now the open space is full of broken trebuchets, bed crossbows and other defensive equipment, as well as large swaths of Zhou people's corpses. Although the trebuchets can be pushed flexibly, the targets are shot.
Changing the location of a stone bomb greatly improved the survival rate of the trebuchet, but under the intensive artillery fire of the Han army, what should be torn into pieces will definitely be torn into pieces.
Lu Qing didn't know how desperate she would be if she were to change places and face the barrage of artillery fire, so she still admired Yu Wenxian.
After all, he is a hero of his generation. He knows that he cannot do something but does it. There are indeed not many people in the world who have such courage.
From the Northern Zhou camp in the distance, a dark formation marched out, or in other words, they had already lined up at the edge of the trench outside the open space.
When the Han army broke through the barrier, they began to advance in neat steps.
A black cloud rose up from the military formation, approaching quickly.
Arrows, densely packed with arrows!
"Lie down!" Lu Qing roared, and subconsciously rolled on the spot, rolling down the barrier, pressing his back tightly against the barrier, and at the same time, he took out his gun and loaded it tightly.
He also didn't expect that the thing he said the most today was to lie down.
With the experience of being caught off guard by the Zhou people's iron arrows last time, the Han army generals were much more calm this time. They were closer to the barrier and leaned directly against the barrier. The Zhou people's wall was a natural shield, and the distance was
Those whose barriers were far away or whose gaps were unobstructed raised their shields one after another, or, as Lu Qing said, lay down on the ground.
Of course, lying down does not mean lying directly on the ground. Arrows falling from the sky can still cause damage to you, but it means huddled behind a bunker. This bunker is naturally filled with corpses, mainly from Zhou people.
Arrows landed densely on the barrier above his head and on the river beach in front of him. When the sound gradually became quieter, Lu Qing's breath that he had been holding suddenly came out: "Fire!"
Behind the barrier, the Han army's musketeers, who had already grasped their muskets, opened fire in unison, and at the same time, the artillery on the ship also roared in harmony.
Because most of the ships turned back to transfer the next batch of soldiers and horses, the artillery bombardment was far less violent than before, and the Zhou people had not yet entered the effective range of the artillery. It is still unclear whether they could hit it at such a long distance.
.
Fortunately, Lu Qing still has a sufficient number of musketeers.
The advancing Northern Zhou troops put up their shields one after another, and at the same time separated them on both sides, revealing the armored cavalry in the middle and the infantry also wearing heavy armor. In addition, there were also heavy shield carts similar to the gate sword carts pushing forward.
, almost all the soldiers were hiding behind these shields.
Lu Qing couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of foam, and her heart was pounding.
What does this come from?
Did they really send armored cavalry into battle?
Whether Yu Wenxian would send armored cavalry to rush into the formation when landing on the beach has always been one of the issues that has been debated endlessly in the Taiwei Mansion, but the final conclusion was still no. There is a big difference between the armored cavalry attacking the barriers and the river beach.
There are risks. Firstly, when crossing the gap, the Han army's artillery may be concentrated and destroyed. Secondly, the river beach full of pebbles seems not suitable for armored cavalry to advance, right?
Letting Jia cavalry go into battle would certainly give the Han army's forwards, led by light infantry, a surprise, but there would undoubtedly be a considerable price to pay.
Even Lu Qing, who as the forward leader has enough say in this matter, also holds the same idea.
In the end, I still didn’t expect that Yu Wenxian really sent out armored cavalry.
The armored cavalry gradually increased their speed, and the armored soldiers beside the armored cavalry were obviously trained by the Northern Zhou army after the Han army to make up for the lack of mutual care between the armored cavalry and the armored cavalry during combat.
As the Han army continues to grow stronger, the Northern Zhou army will naturally advance with the times.
Yu Wenxian is not a man who only eats dry food.
Moreover, Lu Qing had to admit that the Northern Zhou army had gradually begun to pay attention to intelligence confidentiality, especially when Baipao was not well prepared in this area before, and many things could be hidden.
