On July 2, the defense battle in Jincheng reached its most critical moment. After days of fierce attack, the 50,000 Hu soldiers from Yelu Sala had successively captured Huairen, Yingcheng, Heyin, Huyuan, and Sangang and four towns outside Jincheng were all lost. Only a few defenders were left to fight to the death, but the Hu people still relied on their great military advantage to open a huge gap in the solid wall of Jincheng. Countless Hu people were screaming and pouring in from the gap.
At this time, Jincheng had already been mobilized by the whole city, and there was no reserve team able to resist the gap created by the Hu people digging tunnels and using gunpowder.
Jincheng Guardian Zhang Yu and Dutou Luo Yan, who was promoted on the battlefield, looked at the Hu people who were overwhelmed by the sky outside the city and smiled bitterly.
At this point, it is indeed overwhelming.
In this case, let's live and die with the city.
Zhang Yu raised the Damascus Uzxun sword given by King Li Jing of Qin and sighed: "We have tried our best to fight side by side with everyone and die together. The only regret is that we cannot see the King of Qin destroy all these Chou. Luo Yan, you are a good person, I will take the lead!"
Zhang Yuning died, and he was not willing to become a prisoner of these Hu people.
Luo Yan grabbed his hand: "Wait a minute!"
"When I reached this point, what are you waiting for? It doesn't make any sense to kill one or two Hu people. I don't want to fall into the hands of Hu people."
"General, no one wants to fall into the hands of the Hu people. But don't you think the atmosphere on the battlefield is a bit strange?"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Yu turned back to the battlefield.
Indeed, the atmosphere on the battlefield was a bit strange. In front of the big gap in the city wall, countless Hu people were pouring in, and the already pouring in Hu people spread to the streets of the city like a tide. However, behind the gap, a rapid sound of gongs had already been heard.
Beating the gong? This is not a celebratory gong. Being gong on the battlefield is also called ringing gold. That means withdrawing troops and withdrawing troops.
Looking from afar, many flags were waving and the cavalry were running back and forth. Some Hu officers were shouting loudly, and they could vaguely hear the sound of panic and fear. The Hu reserve team in the distance was rushing to adjust the array, and the soldiers stopped hesitantly and were at a loss.
They were very panicked!
A rumble of thunder came from the northeast direction.
No. That is not the thunder, but the sound of galloping horses like thunder.
Zhang Yu, who thought he could only commit suicide, looked at Luo Yan with a bright smile on his face, "Is our reinforcements here, and look at the direction, these are reinforcements from Weizhou. It's so fast?"
The mood was thrilling, and it was a shocking reversal. Zhang Yu was excited and opened his throat to lie or lean against the head of Jinchengyacheng. He was about to accept his fate and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements of the King of Qin have arrived!"
"The troops appeared in the northeast!"
"It's the red battle robe, the black military flag, the black flying eagle battle flag. It's our reinforcements, the reinforcements of the King of Qin have arrived!"
"All of them are cavalry, and the number is unknown!"
"a lot of..."
"At least ten thousand!"
"More than ten thousand!"
"At least twenty thousand!"
"more than!"
"There should be 30,000!"
......
A group of originally desperate wounded soldiers looked at the hopeless one after another. Looking at the dust rising in the northeast, they were extremely excited to guess the number of reinforcements. As the black line under the dust smoke approached, the black line gradually turned into a black tide. Many experienced sergeants were even estimating the number of reinforcements, 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000. The reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and they gradually estimated the number of reinforcements, at least 30,000 cavalry!
Oh my God, 30,000 cavalry. Although the 50,000 Hu people at this time broke through more than a dozen passes in several counties, the defenders also fought to the death and killed more than 20,000 Hu people. At this time, the Hu people in Jincheng were not even as large as the number of reinforcements.
"Oh my God, the golden armor appears. It is Liu Yanei's golden armor that defeats the Jie Army and the most powerful cavalry unit!"
"Long live, long live the King of Qin, long live the Victory Army, long live!" The remaining soldiers on the city were boiling. Among the entire Qin army, only the Shengjie Army was wearing golden armor. This was the strongest cavalry unit to protect Yanjing and protect the Qin king. The King of Qin actually sent this cavalry to rescue them, long live!
As if to prove their words, the 10,000-Shenzhen Army accelerated again when charging, and rushed to the front in an instant. While charging, they made a deafening roar: "Shenzhen!" This is the charge of the Shengzhen Army, which is like a false replacement.
At this time, Zhang Yu was still a little immersed in surprise. Why did they come so quickly? At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder why his father and commander had not arrived yet. Could it be that something happened to him in the south?
At this time, the Qin army reinforcements were indeed led by the Shengjie Army. Liu Xun was the main general, Qin Zong guarded by the wolf-fang general, Gao Rong, Goguryeo general, and Liu Zhijun, the pioneer general of the new Qin army, and the 30,000 troops led by the general Zhang Yun. Among them, Liu Xun's Shengjie Army and the Langya Army guarded by Qin Zong were all cavalry units, while Gao Rong, Liu Zhijun and Zhang Yun had three horse-riding infantry troops.
After receiving the order from Li Jing to promptly reinforce Jincheng, Liu Xun took advantage of the Qin army's maneuverability. The cavalry was equipped with two horses, and the infantry was also equipped with two cavalry, 15,000 cavalry, 15,000 cavalry, 15,000 cavalry, five armies, thirty chasing and sixty battalions, forming a mixed infantry and cavalry army, and marched all the way to join Junduguan. In a few days, they had already left Junduguan, passed through Guizhou, Ruzhou, Xinzhou, Wuzhou, and Weizhou, and finally appeared on the battlefield unexpectedly.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the Hu people had even received news of the horse's revelation. At this time, they were in the excitement of breaking through Jincheng. The rear army was turning around, but the front army had already rushed into the streets and alleys of Jincheng's outer city. The Hu people were in chaos on the battlefield.
Liu Xun held a tiger-headed golden spear in his hand. This was a gun body made of cold iron, one foot and three in length. The gun head was in the shape of a black gold tiger head. The tiger's mouth swallowed blade, the gun body was gold-plated. It was cast in platinum and was extremely sharp.
The gun body is made of cold iron, one foot and three in length. The gun head is in the shape of a black-gold tiger head, the tiger's mouth swallows the blade, and the gun body is gold-plated, which is made of platinum. It is extremely sharp, chopped and chopped, and is not afraid of fire and refined. It is a treasure spear given by Li Jing himself when Liu Xun took office as the leader of the ten thousand-shenjie army.
The tiger-headed golden spear was paired with golden armor, a golden sweat-blooded BMW, and the golden Liu flag in the hands of the flag officer behind him. It was immediately extremely powerful.
"The whole army follows me to rush forward!"
Liu Xun did not choose the whole team, but charged directly without stopping. He had seen that with their sudden appearance, the Hu people were extremely panicked at this time. They did not even see that they were 15,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, and only saw 60,000 war horses rushing over the sky. And because they had just captured the outer city of Jincheng, the Hu people were divided into two groups at this time. Instead, the Qin soldiers arrived and their morale was strong. At this time, they took advantage of the chaos and were in a state of fear and chaos and launched a direct attack, not giving them any chance to prepare. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat them."
Yelu Sassai's face was pale, and he had no idea that the Qin army's reinforcements arrived so soon. Moreover, they came from the northeast, not the northwest.
These days, he has been guarding against Zhang Zimian, the marshal of the Qin army's Western Expedition, to return to the rescue, so he sent several cavalry and reconnaissance troops in the direction of Shuozhou. Even his ten-year-old son Yelu Abaoji was leading a team of 1,000-person cavalry to guard the Rangers in the south at this time.
But who would have thought that the Qin army would be locked up here so quickly. Moreover, so many soldiers and horses were killed.
Yelu Sala hurriedly ordered a turn around to fight, but for a moment, he only had time to transfer more than 10,000 troops, mainly reserves, to fight. As long as he could curb the charge of the Qin army, he could gather his troops again and even retreat to Jincheng to resist the enemy. With reinforcements from the Qin army, he could also hold on to the city to wait for reinforcements.
Tens of thousands of Hu people jumped onto war horses, waved all kinds of weapons in their hands, and roared wildly under the messy tribal flags, rushing towards the Qin army.
The elite Qin army cavalry, who was rushing in the front, roared again: "Survival!"
The roars made by ten thousand elite riders instantly drowned out the Hu people's ghost cry. Ten thousand horses galloped like thunder, and lined up in neatly and moving iron walls to quickly pressed towards the scattered Hu people.
Zhang Yu, Luo Yan, Zhang Luo and others were surprised, looking at the battle from the high arrow tower, "The charge of Shengjie Army seems to be as fast as that of Hu Ren?"
"Why don't they shoot arrows?"
Yes, the most sharp cavalry tactics in the Qin army in the past were the speed of wind, the crossbow arrows like heavy rain, and the thunderstorm-like thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-thunder-the-face battles with enemy cavalry. Most of the cavalry of the Qin army were long-range cavalry, and only the heavy cavalry of the Black Flag Army were front-end destruction and indomitable.
Under the Hu army's flag, Yelu Sala was also confused. Do the Qin people want to fight with them by hand? When it comes to close combat, I am afraid that even if the Qin people's cavalry is well equipped, they will not be able to defeat the bravery of the grassland tribe warriors?
The Shengjie Army had already reached a hundred steps, and Liu Xun's loud voice came: "No archery shooting, keep the formation, and continue to charge!"
Under the guidance of the golden battle flag, the cavalry behind continued to charge at a not-so-fast speed. And amid the sound of horns, the closer they got to each other, the more neat the queues became. From a distance, it looked like an iron wall moving.
Their horn bows were still hung on the saddle, the crossbow was still hanging on the waist, and the thunder was also placed in the elastic bag at the waist.
They were wearing gold-plated steel plate breastplates, with a small round cavalry shield on their left arm, holding an eight-foot-triangle spear in both hands, and a sharp sword and horse that was not unsheathed on their waists, and a steel helmet like an iron pot on their heads, covering their entire heads.
They were next to each other, holding the horses shoulder by shoulder, controlling the horses with their legs only, without holding the reins, holding shields and guns in both hands, and then they kept their speed and formation to charge forward.
Sixty steps!
The Hu Qi, who was galloping from the horse, began to shoot arrows immediately, but their good archery skills were at this time, but they encountered the Qin army's excellent armor, steel helmets, breastplate, cavalry shields, and vests, blocking most of the arrows for them. Moreover, the entire row of cavalry was lined up and they blocked each other, which made the arrows in the sky finally very limited in the end.
The Qin army did not fight back and continued to advance steadily.
Fifty steps.
Forty steps.
Thirty steps.
......
Satsu finally felt where the worry he had been in his heart came from. These damn Qin people actually used the tactics of infantry formations in cavalry battles.
It is shameless to let the cavalry form a formation like infantry.
This formation is very powerful, at least it is very powerful in the Qin army now, because they have excellent helmets and breastplate, and the most important discipline. Not all cavalry can face the bows and arrows all over the sky, but they can always maintain the formation, charging without rushing and not counterattacking at all.
If it were the cavalry of the grassland tribe, I would have been rushing up long ago.
But the Qin army did it. They treated the cavalry as infantry formations, without any scattering or counterattacking, and just rushed straight!
"kill!"
With a loud roar, the two armies got closer and closer. The speed of the Shengjie army in the Mercedes was not reduced at all. The cavalry began to lower their bodies, and their spears were neatly more than five feet above the horse's body.
Hu Qi is still shooting arrows!
But the two armies are getting closer, twenty steps, ten steps, five steps...
A huge roar like thunder: "Shengjie!"
With this loud roar, the iron wall in front of him almost speared like a dragon, and eight-foot cavalry spears stabbed out from the array. As soon as he rushed up, he was ready to teach these Qin people a lesson about what cavalry, what cavalry war, what cavalry, and what courage meant, but he was shocked to find that three or four spears appeared in front of them at the same time.
Blocked one hand, two handfuls, but couldn't stop the third hand, the fourth hand.
With disbelief and unwilling anger, the fierce and conceited Hu warrior fell down with several blood holes in one round, and was then ruthlessly wrapped by the neat Qin army wall!
With the huge impact of the iron wall tactics, the spears of the Shengjie soldiers pierced one after another of the Hu Qi rushed forward without any difficulty, and continued to maintain a rushing momentum. One row rushed over, and the second row of iron walls came over again.
The Qin army's tactics were like combs, combing them over and over again in the wilderness under Jincheng, and the scattered Hu cavalry were stabbed down one by one.
In such a battle, the Hu people stabbed a Qin army to death, and often dozens of them themselves had already died.
The Shengjie Army rolled forward without stopping until it penetrated the entire enemy army.
At this time, they began to turn around, divide into smaller arrays of iron walls, and continue to attack and kill.
At this time, the five thousand Wolf-fanged cavalry guarded by Qin Zong finally dispatched. The five-element cavalry guarded by Qin Zong completely used the traditional tactics of the Qin army. They galloped, roamed, scattered, and shot the Hu cavalry gangs that were defeated by the iron cavalry, shooting arrows, crossbows, and thunder, like a group of blood-devouring sharks, specifically attacking the dispersed Hu team, encircling, riding, shooting, scattering, and annihilated in one fell swoop.
They have clear division of labor and act quickly.
The number of reinforcements of the Qin army far exceeded that of the Hu cavalry, and the weapons and equipment far exceeded that of these tribes. What's more, this time, the Qin army adopted a strange new tactic for the first time, which caught them off guard.
In less than half an hour, nearly 10,000 Hu cavalry had been dispersed and fled everywhere.
The three horse-riding infantry behind have dismounted and have been assembled.
Chapter completed!
