Li Guiren rode out from the cavalry. With his sunken eyes, he stared coldly and cruelly at the crimson flags on the city and the rows of soldiers. Since Fan Yang raised his army, the cavalry he led went south to attack the city, break through the pass, and kill the governor.
, the force of the force was truly unstoppable. He could not help but develop the heroic spirit of the Youyan Cavalry, the strongest in the world. Didn't even the Hexi Army, which claimed to be the elite, huddle in Fengxiang City?
He ordered a Khitan general beside him: "Go and shout in front of the city gate."
The general galloped to the city, raised his head and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Listen, people of the Hexi Army, we are bound to capture this Fufeng County city! My general also said that he can give it to
If you have a chance, take the initiative to withdraw from this city and retreat to Qinzhou. We promise not to attack you. But if you are stubborn and stubbornly resist, you will die without a place to die when the city is destroyed, and the people in the city will not be spared!
"
Yan Xiaosi held his hand on the female wall and waved to the soldiers around him: "Bring me the crossbow!"
The soldier sat on the ground and kicked the crossbow with both legs. He used all his strength to pull the string with both hands, loaded the arrows and handed them to him. Yan Xiaosi took the crossbow and placed it on the crenel, aiming at the general's bearded face.
,
"I'm warning you one last time, abandoning the city and leaving is the best way out!"
Li Guiren suddenly looked towards the city, and immediately shouted to the general: "Quick! Get back!"
But it was too late. The crossbow arrow shot down from the top of the city with a whoosh, hitting the general's nose. The arrow penetrated half a foot and spurted blood. He fell from his horse and fell to the ground.
On the top of the city, Yan Xiaosi ordered the soldiers to beat the drums. The soldiers waved the flags and laughed. The sound of the drums and the laughter were mixed together in a magical and harsh way.
Li Guiren was so angry that he waved his riding whip and shouted: "Beat the drum! Attack the city!"
The two vertical drums behind the rebels made a dull sound that shook the earth, and nearly a hundred Fuyuan ballistas aimed at the city wall to throw arrows.
Yan Xiaosi hurriedly knelt down to protect Douchi, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Light the cannon!"
The sergeants held torches and lit the twister at the tail of the Xuanwu cannon. They covered their ears and squatted on the ground, counting their breaths silently in their hearts. One, two, three! Bang! The muzzle of the cannon roared and spit out hot flames, and the projectiles fell on the enemy's formation.
It exploded, and struck the ground like thunder, causing the rebels to stagger around.
Li Guiren leaned on his horse and shouted in panic: "What is this!"
At the same time, the openings of the earthen fortresses on both sides of the city wall lit up with flashes of light. At this moment, it was like a strong wind. The shells exploded not far away from Li Guiren's right side. He hurriedly dodged to the left side of the horse.
side, and at the same time let out a sharp shout and covered his ears.
The buzzing tinnitus made him dizzy, and blood seemed to be pouring into his ear canals. An Shouzhong had already turned around and immediately shouted to him. Judging from the shape of his mouth, he shouted for him to retreat.
Li Guiren hugged the horse's neck tightly and yelled: "Get out of here!"
His horse galloped over a human horse lying on the ground? The horse's hooves trampled on the screaming cavalryman who had one leg under the horse? Until his sternum collapsed and his mouth was full of blood? The horse's abdominal intestines were leaking all over the floor.
? The fishy smell is abnormal.
"Hurry up!" The cavalry rolled away from both sides of the infantry and retreated into the distance. The infantry ran in the center of the two groups of cavalry.
The Xuanwu cannon on the earthen ramparts at the top of the city recoiled? The soldiers quickly cleaned the barrel of the cannon with a wooden pestle wrapped in cloth, and then reloaded the gunpowder? Filled in the projectiles. Yan Xiaosi was holding a knife behind the gun mount.
Patrolling back and forth, urging: "Hurry up, fire up quickly! Raise the muzzle six inches! If you run too far, you won't be able to hit!"
The rumbling artillery fire once again raised thick smoke and shook the city top. The rebel cavalry ran fast and had already escaped the range of the artillery fire. Are the infantry about to escape as well? The rolling and exploding artillery fire only overturned a few shoulder soldiers behind them.
Flag soldiers.
Li Siye sat in the meeting hall of the city tower and loudly ordered: "Beat the drum and attack!"
The gates on the east and west sides of Fengxiang City were wide open. Duan Xiushi led Han Haijun's cavalry to cover up and pursue them from the left. Ma Lu led a part of Feihu Cavalry to cover and pursue them from the right. An Shouzhong's infantry formation bore the brunt? The infantry were abandoned.
Siege equipment, fuyuan crossbows and other baggage were running wildly.
Li Guiren, who was riding on horseback with his ears bleeding, was unbalanced and tilted from side to side, holding on to the reins. But at least his mind was clear. He suddenly grabbed the reins and turned the horse around. He pulled out a knife from his waist.
He shouted: "Don't run away! If you are chased and beaten, you will lose everything! Fight back! Don't let An Shouzhong's infantry be lost in the hands of the enemy!"
"Tongluo soldiers! Yiluohe! Fight back for me, their fire-breathing things can't chase us this far!"
The discipline of the rebel cavalry is also quite good. After seeing the flag waving back and forth behind the general, the generals and lieutenants of each battalion and regiment decisively turned back. The horns made a low whine.
"Blow the war drum for me, but if a group dares to retreat, I will kill them all when they get back!"
General Li Guiren gave an order, and the generals turned their flags upside down and let out a thunderous roar. Along with the drums that shook the earth, each cavalryman followed the flags and flags behind the chief, turning into hundreds of streams and rushing toward them.
He pushed past the Hexi Army cavalry rushing from both sides.
The two sides raised their horned bows and first exchanged shots on horseback. Then the cavalry team rushed forward and stabbed each other in the billowing dust. Or someone fell off the horse and was dragged by the stirrup for a hundred steps.
, the winner uses the momentum to kill the next enemy.
Li Guiren's cavalry quickly caught up with the infantry and shouted to An Shouzhong's flag in the crowd: "Form a square formation! I will protect your left and right wings!"
An Shouzhong personally blew the bull's horn and ordered his battalions to form formations, and the crossbowmen were quickly organized into orderly battle formations.
Ma Fu decisively led the right-wing cavalry, penetrated through the junction of the enemy's cavalry and soldiers, and swung his blade to attack the enemy's cavalry. The phalanx that An Shouzhong was about to organize was about to fall into disarray again. An personally jumped off the horse, holding the Mo Dao.
Summon the battle vanguard to maintain stability in the front and kill the enemy cavalry.
In front of Fengxiang City, all the infantry of the Hexi Army had already left the city. They were pressing toward the enemy infantry formation in a dark mass. Several Xuanwu cannons slowly moved forward under the pull of soldiers, cattle and horses.
…
Zang Xiye, who was ambushing near the Liulian Bridge in Baiqu, had 6,000 men and horses waiting patiently in the woods. The rebel team had not retreated and passed by here. This made him very suspicious, so he sent one person and one horse to explore.
The cavalry detective's horse hooves clattered back to the forest. He dismounted and reported to Zang Xiye with folded hands: "Report! General Zang, the rebels were going to retreat towards us, but for some reason they suddenly came back."
"Kill them back?" Zang Xiye frowned and thought carefully, then rubbed his palms and walked back and forth, and suddenly said: "Everyone should follow me on their horses and attack the rear of the rebels with lightning speed."
The deputy general questioned from the side: "Envoy Zang, the military order given to us by the doctor is to ambush and attack the rebels here. If we go back, I'm afraid there will be something wrong."
Zang Xiye lowered his head again and thought deeply, then said: "Based on my many years of combat experience, if the enemy turns back and has not retreated, it must be a stalemate between the two sides. If we go back and stab him in the a**, we will definitely end it early."
Fight and reduce the casualties of our army! The general needs to act according to circumstances outside, mount your horse! Fight back!"
"Here!"
The lieutenants under his command began to gather soldiers, and divided into three teams, got on their horses and ran out of the forest. Six thousand fine cavalry galloped from both sides of the Liulian Bridge in the direction of Fengxiang, and the horses' hooves kicked out and swept away the billowing dust.
