Chapter 1206: The Pioneer Battalion is mighty
Victory is within reach, and Kusuo's face is full of self-satisfaction, and after all the hardships, he is finally about to take Nagasaki Castle at this moment. Kusao didn't need to kill himself, and he also gave an explanation to the emperor.
However, the pride was only temporary, and at this moment, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves behind Cao Xiong and the others. This shocked Cao Xiong very much, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent a scout horse to spy on whether the visitor was friend or foe?
A dozen war horses then galloped away, but Cao Xiong's heart became more and more worried. Turning his head to look at the emperor beside him, he said with difficulty, "Could this be our reinforcements?" ”
The Emperor frowned, pondered in his heart for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "It's definitely not our reinforcements, the military division doesn't have war horses, even if they come, there will definitely be no such sound of horses' hooves." ”
One sentence completely extinguished Cao Xiong's poor luck, and he couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open. After that, Kusuo and the Emperor still heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves and approached quickly, but none of the scouts sent out came back.
It was already clear that this was friend or foe, and Cao Xiong's face was heavy, and he said to the emperor in a dark voice: "Emperor, we must set aside some troops to resist the enemy army. ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the emperor nodded and agreed: "You go and arrange it now, you must stop the enemy army and buy enough time for the soldiers besieging the city." ”
Cao Xiong nodded silently in agreement, and then left with his hands, and the 10,000 Japanese who were in the formation soon followed Cao Xiong away. The Emperor watched the army depart, a heavy look on his face. Looking back at the situation on the siege side, I found that the defense of the Dongjiang Army was still tenacious, and after fighting for so long, I still didn't see the Japanese invaders being able to kill the city wall.
Listening to the sound of galloping horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the emperor's heart became more and more anxious. After holding it for a while, the emperor simply ordered the generals who were supervising the battle to be urged to attack the city at all costs.
Soon after the Emperor's order was issued, the Japanese army began to become more frenzied, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses gathered under the city walls, scrambling to climb the ladder to attack the city.
The pressure on the Dongjiang Army and the North Korean Army suddenly doubled, and Xiao Li and Kim Zhengli were also very confused, wondering why the Japanese Army suddenly became more crazy again.
The entire northern city was filled with Japanese troops, and the sound of fighting had long since covered any movement coming from outside. So much so that Xiao Li and Kim Zhengli did not hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
At this moment, more and more Japanese robbers climbed the city wall, and the fight between the Dongjiang Army and the Korean Army was already weakened, and once the gap appeared, it would be constantly washed down.
Xiao Li and Jin Zhengli were already red-eyed, and each took hundreds of guards to kill the enemy.
When the northern city was in danger, Chen Jisheng led the pioneer battalion to arrive, and from a long distance he heard the earth-shattering sound of killing from Nagasaki City. In a hurry, he ordered the whole army to speed up.
But Chen Jisheng hadn't advanced far before he encountered the Japanese army's probe horse, and he didn't have the slightest politeness, and rushed directly to kill people with a knife. Then he met the grass male who came to meet the battle, the pioneer battalion only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, but the grass male brought 10,000 soldiers and horses. Although the Japanese army had no cavalry, in the face of the 3,000 Dongjiang army, Cao Xiong was obviously not afraid.
"Archers prepare, shoot!" Two thousand archers shot directly at the shadow of the Dongjiang army rushing in front of them.
Since it was still night, the vision was extremely blurry, and the attack effect of the bow and arrow was extremely limited at a distance.
Of the 2,000 arrows that rained down, very few were able to shoot above the heads of the Dongjiang Army, only a few people were injured, and not even a single one died. Chen Jisheng suddenly became vigilant, shouted, and gave the order, and the whole army was led by their respective generals to lead a hundred people, and scattered to kill the Japanese army.
The enemy was defended by arrows, and the cavalry had to be broken into pieces if they wanted to avoid casualties to a minimum. In this way, the casualties of soldiers can be avoided to the greatest extent.
After the Dongjiang army scattered and charged, the arrow array of the Japanese army immediately lost its target, and the cavalry of the Dongjiang army surrounded and killed from all directions, so that they did not know which direction to shoot.
It was in this brief moment of astonishment that the pioneer battalion had already been killed. Chen Jisheng was the first to rush into the enemy's ranks, and behind him were two hundred guards. Chen Jisheng was the leader, and two hundred guards formed a triangular charging formation behind him.
The Japanese army, which had no shield, let alone a defense horse fortification, immediately panicked when the Dongjiang army arrived. The infantry has no advantage over the cavalry, not to mention that the soldiers of the vanguard battalion are the elite of the elite, and they are all unblinking people when they kill people.
The Japanese army was immediately divided into countless squares under just one charge of the Dongjiang army. The sound of galloping horses' hooves weaves back and forth between the squares, and each time the saber is raised, it always takes the life of a widow.
Cao Xiong was very dangerous at the moment, he only had a few hundred guards around him, and the rest had been scattered by the pioneer battalion. In the face of the Dongjiang Army, which kept rushing back and forth, Cao Xiong and they had no power to fight back. The scattered Japanese army could not be regrouped to resist the enemy, and when they fought separately, they had no unified command and were reduced to lambs to the slaughter.
A large saber suddenly slashed in front of Kusao, and the startled Kusao didn't want to bow his head to avoid it, but before he could look up to see who had attacked him. Cao Xiong felt the sound of the knife wind behind him again, this time he couldn't dodge, the tip of the knife poked out directly from his chest, the bloody tip of the knife was very dazzling, Cao Xiong's mouth was wide open, and he wanted to speak but his mouth was full of blood.
Cao Xiong looked back with difficulty to see who had hurt him, but what he saw was Chen Jisheng's hideous black face. The tip of the knife was turned suddenly, and then it was pulled out fiercely, and in the splattering of blood, the grass male fell directly on the horse.
Chen Jisheng killed Cao Xiong, didn't even look at him, and continued to ride his horse to kill the enemy. Because in the dark night, he didn't know that it was the general of the Japanese army who was killed just now, if he knew, Chen Jisheng would definitely not let go of Cao Xiong so easily.
Under the charge of the Dongjiang army, the Japanese army had already begun to rout, and there were constantly Japanese soldiers rushing out of the encirclement and fleeing in all directions. The Dongjiang army had no way to hunt down and kill those escaped widows, after all, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they couldn't take care of that much at all.
The more Japanese troops escaped, the less pressure there was on the vanguard battalion, and when the last Japanese fell in a pool of blood, Chen Jisheng ordered to rush directly to Nagasaki Castle. The killing noise there is still continuing, and the good news is that Nagasaki Castle should not be broken yet, and it is still resisting and fighting with the enemy.
The bad news is that from a distance, the entire Beicheng seems to be in the midst of war, which means that there should still be a lot of Japanese troops in the Beicheng.
