Chapter 738: Invincible Gao Taiwei Conquering Wu Dalang Fourteen
"King, look, Tongwan City, Tongwan City is on fire, what a big fire......"
A trembling voice sounded in the ears of Brother Wei Mingcha, and the young King of Western Xia Jin set his eyes on the southern sky. There are still twenty or thirty miles away from Tongwan City, and the tall city walls are already faintly visible. The pillar of smoke rising from the top of the city and reaching up to the sky is clearly visible.
How is this possible!?
Brother Cha's heart was beating, he understood that Tongwan Jian City had been broken by the Song army!
But how could the Song army break through the Tongwan City? That's the city of Tongwan! In Chage's impression, this ancient city, which was built 700 years ago, is a fortified city comparable to Xingqing Mansion and Lingzhou.
Although the walls are a bit old, they are no less sturdy than the newly built ones. Moreover, since last autumn, the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division has been trying every means to strengthen the city defenses, and has also cut down all the trees that can be used within a radius of 100 miles, sharpened them into tiger falls, and inserted them around the city walls and horse faces. If you don't pull out these sharp wooden stakes, the lightweight ladder (that is, the long ladder carried by people) cannot be erected, and you must use a heavy ladder that is erected on wheels and has a certain degree of protection, which can break the tiger fall, or use a shield car to break the tiger fall, and then build a ladder.
Without large equipment such as heavy ladders and shield carts, the casualties would have been unbearable if soldiers had to brave rolling logs and stones and arrows to pull out tiger falls.
And even if the Song army disregarded the casualties, cleaned up part of the tiger falls, and erected a long ladder, it does not mean that it can break through the Tongwan City. Cha Ge left a full 10,000 defenders in Tongwan City, and another 60,000 or 70,000 party members and clans could be mobilized. If you want to use the ant-attached siege method, you will casually kill and injure tens of thousands of people!
How many troops did the Song people send to conquer Wancheng? How is it possible to bear such a loss?
A series of questions sprung up in Cha Ge's mind, and for a while he was a little overwhelmed.
"King, what a chance!" Li Liangfu, who followed Brother Cha's side, said loudly, "There must still be a fierce battle in Tongwan City!" Wuyi Boma is a rare tiger general, and it is not so easy to defeat...... Moreover, Tongwan City does not have only one city wall, it is a fortified city composed of two cities, east and west and twenty-four square outlines. Even if the Song army broke into the city, it could continue to resist.
Therefore, there must still be a hard battle in Tongwan City! If the king can lead his troops to arrive in time, then a big victory can be expected. ”
Brother Cha was still a little undecided, and thought about it and said: "The cavalry of the Song people has not yet retreated, and the surrounding situation is not clear......
The 4,500 rangers that Murong Parrot and Wan Yan Xian also excluded made Brother Cha lose control of the situation around him. He didn't know how many Song troops were in front of him, nor did he know their specific location.
"King! How many cavalry did the Song have talent? How can we get tens of thousands of iron horses? Li Liangfu was a little anxious, "If the king is really not at ease, then let the last general lead the iron harrier to meet them!" The king only led the garrison to Tongwan. ”
Brother Cha was still hesitating, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighing it repeatedly.
Three thousand iron harriers plus support soldiers is 12,000 people, and the number is still a bit small! In case of running into a large force of cavalry of the Song people, is it sure of victory? However, if Li Liangfu's troops were to be increased, there would be fewer people going to Tongwancheng.
If he knew that Tongwancheng would not be beaten so much, he should not have let Xiao Heda take away 24,000 people......
Seeing that Brother Cha was still thinking, Li Liangfu couldn't wait: "King, the three armies are harmful, and they hesitate the most!" ”
"Straight sissy thief!" When Li Liangfu said this, Brother Cha suddenly laughed, "This king is indeed hesitant...... There is a bird that is so afraid, we have nearly 50,000 people on hand, and there are thousands of them in Tongwan City, and they are all elite! This can't be beaten anymore, and there's nothing more to say!
Ryosuke, the iron harrier is handed over to you, and this king will be beaten hard! ”
"Howler!" Li Liangfu smiled, "King, just take a look!" ”
……
Gao Yu turned his head sharply, and also saw the pillar of smoke rising from the head of Tongwan City that soared into the sky. He took out the wine jug and drank a sip of the wine in the fairy, which not only strengthened his courage but also warmed his body, and then took a sip of the cold air of spring, and said to himself: "What a big fire, I don't know what the thief will think so when he sees it?" If only it could scare them away...... The city of Tongwan has been broken, and it will be too late for them to put on their wings and fly over......"
Beside him, the armored cavalry of the brigade had spread out a rather wide front.
Gao Yu's black-armored front cavalry selected from the Hedong Army was in the center, surrounding Gao Taiwei, and guarding the regiments. These Hedong armor riders looked very nervous, and everyone clenched their bows and arrows, and their eyes stared ahead. I don't know if I am preparing to fight with the slowly approaching Western Thief Cavalry, or is I preparing to protect Gao Yu to escape?
Murong Parrot and Wan Yan Xian also each led a straight command of the imperial horse, scattered around Gao Yu, and did not put on a strict formation, but formed a loose 20 squads, each squad has a scale of about one hundred and fifty people, of which about fifty are armored cavalry, and the rest are auxiliary cavalry.
These 20 squads were divided into two columns, arranged in a V-shape on both sides of Gao Yu's Black Armor Selective Cavalry Brigade, which was the so-called Wild Goose Array. But it is not strict, there are dozens of steps between each squad, looking at the east and west groups, it does not look like a queue of heavy cavalry at all, but a bit of a grassland light horse.
Gao Yu has seen the royal horse in front of the palace rushing straight into battle, and he doesn't play like this at all! He did raise objections, but Murong Parrot and Wan Yan Xian didn't listen to him at all! Moreover, Gao Yu also found that Wu Haogu had "cleaned" the Imperial Horse Straight, and a large number of knights from the Military Academy Division were transferred, and at the same time, many "utility knights" hired by Jiehe were added, and these people only listened to Murong Yu (in fact, they listened to Wu Haogu). Through them, plus the dozens of horsemen Jurchen fierce people brought by Wanyan Xian, the current royal horse is completely out of Gao Yu's control......
Gao Yu looked left and right, and thought: These black-armored selectors are still reliable! We have to make them all knights, so that they can have their own families available in the future!
Suddenly, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and Gao Yu, who was full of thoughts, looked up and saw many Song Army rangers galloping from the front. Gao Shixuan, who was born in the Gao family, also brought a few black-armored soldiers and rode horses with those rangers. This Gao Shixuan is a distant relative of Gao Yu, and was promoted by Gao Yu to be the commander of the black armor cavalry.
"Captain, the thief is here! There are tens of thousands of riders, and the first one is the Iron Harrier! ”
"Tens of thousands of riders...... Iron Harrier!? Gao Yu suddenly had the idea of turning around and fleeing back to Tongwan City.
"Captain! Captain! ”
Before Gao Yu could run, Murong Parrot had already smiled and ran over with two people on horseback.
"Fifth brother......" Gao Yu greeted Murong Parrot on horseback, and was about to discuss the retreat, but Murong Parrot spoke first: "Tai Lieutenant, the West Thief has come up, it seems to be an iron harrier...... Some of them are hit! ”
Some hit?
Shouldn't you run away?
"Iron Harriers are not easy to fight, are they?" Gao Yu frowned, "They are the elite of the Western Thieves!" ”
"Just hit it and you'll know!" Murong Parrot smiled and said, "With the Taiwei Commander, we are not afraid of them." ”
But Captain Ben is afraid! Gao Yu wanted to say this, but he was embarrassed when the words came to his lips.
Murong Parrot spoke again: "The Iron Harrier of the Western Thief is the vanguard, and there is a brigade behind him...... After all, we only have a thousand people, and we can't entangle them for too long. It's better to rush for a while, and then retreat to Tongwan City. ”
Just for a while? Gao Yu was a little relieved.
"How do you rush?" Gao Shixuan interjected and asked, "Is the black armor cavalry participating in the war?" ”
Murong Parrot said, "It depends...... At that time, I and Xian will also rush to the center of them with the left and right wings, and the twenty teams will rush a little in a row, and if they can be crushed, the black armor cavalry will cover up for a while. Then let's get out! ”
Gao Shixuan was a little worried, "Rushed? That's an iron harrier! ”
"How can it not be rushed?" Murong Parrot smiled, "Twenty teams rushed a little in a row, if the Iron Harrier formation was scattered, it was 1,000 horses rushing at him, dozens of horses and 100 horses, how could it not collapse?"
And the first battle let the birth of a girl really be a barbarian, and some people are not like words, and one person can be used as ten...... So no problem, you will definitely be able to break the iron harrier! ”
This kind of turn-by-turn attack tactics of the Jurchens, for a long time, even the array of the infantry of the Song army could not withstand it. The reason is that they can continue to attack a little, and once the strength of the Song army's infantry team is adjusted and replenished, it will definitely be broken through.
Now with 1000 armor to rush the Iron Harrier cavalry, how can it not be rushed?
Are you sure? That's an iron harrier!!
Gao Yu looked at Murong Yu with a confident look, and his heart became lively.
"It's good! Let's fight for a while! Gao Yu said, "Come on, put out the official's flag." ”
"Whoa!"
The black-armored knights around Gao Yu responded loudly.
A huge high-lettered general flag soon hunted and flew up.
"Commander, it's Gao Yu!"
Li Liangfu's eyes narrowed, he stood up on the horse's pedal, put his hand on his forehead, and looked at a flag with the word "high" that appeared in the distance.
"Sure enough, it's Gao Yu!"
"Commander," said one of the Iron Harrier generals under Li Liangfu's command, "Gao Yu has set up a very loose formation of geese, and it seems that he wants to use mounted archery against us...... I can't resist the blow of our iron harrier! ”
"Maybe it's a fraud, right?"
Li Liangfu shook his head, that's Gao Yu! You can't make such a low-level mistake, right? In the face of the Iron Harrier, put on a cavalry and archery formation, the Iron Harrier is a world-famous ironclad cavalry, what is the use of riding and archery?
"Commander, let's charge!" Another team general suggested, "Let a certain family lead the team to kill his mother first!" ”
Li Liangfu thought for a while, "Let's line up first!" Ten teams lined up about the right, and then the warriors all tied themselves to the saddle with hooks. ”
"Whoa!"
