The thoughts in the mind of the captain who defended the city just flashed. In a blink of an eye, his eyes were attracted by the Xiliang cavalry who did not attack the city directly, but charged around the city wall. He had seen it under Ying Zige a long time ago.
Defense similar to cavalry offensive
The city captain's pupils immediately contracted and dilated, he turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the city, "Everyone in the army, quickly hide behind the female wall. Hold the shield on the wall and pay attention to the defense of arrows. The archers are free to look for opportunities to scatter and counterattack!"
"
As soon as the captain of the city guard finished speaking, the Xiliang cavalry galloping around outside the city bent their bows and fired arrows towards the top of the city. The arrows shot by the cavalry turned into arrow rain in an instant, flashing with cold
The awn flew towards the city head quickly. After a round of cavalry shooting, the Xiliang cavalry ignored the results and continued to gallop around the city, then waited for the opportunity to bend their bows and arrows for another round.
At the top of the city wall, many of the city's defenders were shot down by Xiliang cavalry's fast cavalry, and were caught off guard and killed by arrows flying from the city. But more of the city's defenders, under the timely reminder of the city's captain,
But he quickly hid behind the parapet or put up a shield to guard against the clouds of arrows. Then he held his breath and concentrated, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
"This guy is good!" Meng Hu, who was ambushing in the corner tower in the city, although he didn't know the specific situation outside the city, could figure out something based on the sounds coming from the top of the city and the reactions of the soldiers guarding the city.
Looking at the young figure of the captain guarding the city with a hint of surprise, he nodded unconsciously and asked the deputy general next to him, "What is the name of the captain guarding the city?"
"Huh?" The deputy general was stunned and looked up, "General, are you talking about that boy Hao Bodao?"
"Hao Bodao?" Meng Hu was stunned for a moment, looking at the muscular figure, "Have a word? It's too late? What's going on at home?"
"Uh!" The deputy general's expression froze, and he smiled bitterly and said, "General, I'm sorry, this junior general really doesn't know very well. Hao Zhao turned out to be a hundred generals in this city. The junior general came to Xicheng with General Wang Jian.
After gathering the soldiers in the city, the general finally saw that he was quite
He had some courage and was very alert, so he was given the position of city gate captain and asked him to lead his old troops and obey orders under the tent. In addition to knowing that his ancestral home was Taiyuan, he also had an old mother named Bo Dao in his family.
Other than that, I really don’t know the rest!”
"Oh?!" Meng Hu groaned softly, his eyes lightly scanning the deputy general.
"It's just that this guy's ability to defend the city is really good, and he is also very smart. Previously, a certain general was ordered by General Wang Jian to guard the west gate of Xicheng. He was almost attacked by the Xiliang army several times.
It was Bo Dao who gave a lot to the general.
What a great idea! At the same time, we commanded our brothers to take action, and we successfully repulsed the Xiliang army, but General Wang Jian never asked for support once." The deputy general stiffened, and the little thought in his heart was instantly thrown thousands of miles away.
He added continuously.
"Not bad!" Looking at the trembling lieutenant general, Meng Hu nodded lightly. He seemed calm, but in fact he said in a frightening tone, "In my great Qin, success or failure is judged by military exploits, and superiority is judged by ability! What's yours is yours.
Yes, if it’s not yours, then don’t be too petty, just work hard! Do you understand?”
"No! I will remember to thank the general for his advice!" Hearing Meng Hu's tone, the deputy general understood that this matter had been taken over, and he quickly bowed to Meng Hu and thanked him.
Meng Hu nodded, turned his gaze back to Hao Zhao on the top of the city, and pondered slightly, "Hao Zhao, Hao Bodao? Guard the city? Why do I always feel like I have heard it somewhere, and it feels a little familiar! Could it be that this kid is too?
One of the famous contemporary ministers and generals that my lord mentioned before?!"
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and while Meng Hu was talking to the deputy general, the defenders on the top of the city were also strictly following his orders. After resisting for a while, Hao Zhao finally pretended to be helpless and let the city go.
The outer Xiliang army broke into the gate of Xicheng with a wooden attack.
"Haha! The city gate is open. Brothers, send them another wave of arrows and follow me into the city!" He and Yuanhua respectively led two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to the left and right outside the city of Yi, suppressing the city guards with the method of riding and shooting.
Li Yuanfang of the army laughed loudly for the first time, and then charged towards the city gate while commanding the Xiliang cavalry behind him to bend their bows and set arrows again.
"咻咻咻~"
Thousands of arrows were fired together, and the sharp arrows with cold light turned into a rain of arrows and pressed down towards the top of the city again. Amidst the sharp sound of breaking the air, Li Yuanfang took the lead and led the Xiliang cavalry to rush inward.
"General!" At the central military office, looking at the opened city gate and Li Yuanfang rushing in, the deputy general's expression changed and he shouted to Li Fang on the side.
"All charge, enter the city!" Li Fang naturally knew what the deputy general was shouting. He was simply worried that Li Yuanfang would take the lead. He glanced at him slightly, then straightened up the spear in his hand and ordered loudly.
"Woo~wuwu~"
The horns soaring to the sky sounded again. Under the leadership of Li Fang and his deputy generals, the remaining eight thousand Xiliang cavalry rushed towards Chengnei following Li Yuanfang. In less than a moment, thirteen thousand Xiliang cavalry
Liang Tieqi all came to the city and rushed into the city.
Quiet, it is too quiet, so quiet that it gives people a creepy feeling!
After Li Yuanfang took the lead and rushed into the city, he noticed something strange. Except for the soldiers guarding the city, there was no soldier or general in the entire city gate. Before he had time to think about the problem, Li Yuan
The two thousand Xiliang cavalry led by Fang were already charged by the soldiers and horses behind him, and they continued to charge towards the city. Then he saw the densely packed horse posts exposed in the streets and alleys of Xicheng.
His complexion couldn't help but change drastically.
Meng Hu wholeheartedly wanted to lure the army into a urn, use one move to close the door and beat the dog, and devour the invading 13,000 Xiliang cavalry in one go. But no matter how conceited he was, he had also stepped into the realm of a super-class general.
Threshold, but one cannot underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
And this horse-holding stake is one of his trump cards for daring to implement the strategy of leading the army into a trap. As long as the Xiliang cavalry rushes into the city, these densely packed horse-holding stakes all over the city can kill the Xiliang cavalry in an instant.
The cavalry became infantry. And without the horses, how much combat effectiveness can the Xiliang cavalry retain?
What's more, at the moment when the city was broken, the Xiliang cavalry who rushed in through the city gate in excitement would never be able to stop when they encountered the horse-rejecting formation. If they tripped over the horse-rejecting stakes in the crowd, they would be in trouble again.
How many casualties will be caused is also a question worth calculating...
