Chapter 218: Quick Battle 1
There is no war in the north, but there is war in the south. The generals of the Huolin Army, who knew about the affairs of the north, also hurried towards the Yingzhou capital. First, the entire territory of Le'an County was recovered, and then Wen County, which was closest to Le'an County, was also quickly taken by the Huolin Army.
Waiting for the arrival of the government officials, after the Great Purge, the infantry soldiers were left to deter the place, and at the same time the training of non-commissioned soldiers was intensified, and the servant army was reorganized. Subsequently, the Guzi battalion disappeared outside Wenxian and headed west.
Pingshan County, the main target of the Gangzi Battalion. This time, Zhao Lin did not lead the army to raid alone, but gathered the infantry army together and prepared to attack the city at night.
Outside Hirayama Castle.
In the dark night, the corners of Zhao Lin's mouth twitched slightly. Although the Zhao family brothers are all young, no one in the Huolin Army dares to underestimate them. It's not because of who they are, but of course, identity is part of it. What's more, their martial arts, their way of fighting. No matter what the officers think, the non-commissioned officers admire the captains of these ages.
The sergeants of the army admire those who are strong in martial arts, and only recognize the strong. The Zhao brothers have built a foundation for their bodies since they were young, and they have practiced martial arts for many years, which is naturally extraordinary, and more importantly, they have received a lot of training and ways to get along with soldiers with Zhao Xun. On weekdays, he cares about and loves the nurses and soldiers, and practices martial arts with the soldiers. Once on the battlefield, it is a strict condescension to the upper and lower, strictly abiding by military orders, and must not be violated.
"How? How did the servant army in Hirayama Castle reply? Zhao Lin asked coldly.
A young man in sackcloth behind Zhao Lin said: "One has already agreed, cooperate tonight, and wrap the white cloth in his right hand." One did not agree for the time being, saying that it was to be considered! ”
"Think about it? The army treated them like slaves, but these servants went to oppress them and obtain what they needed. Now let them anyway, still think about it, they don't have a chance! Zhao Lin said coldly.
Under the cold night, the torches on the city wall swayed faintly in the cold wind, and some of the city guards also cowered behind the female wall, hiding from the cold wind. Because there are also merchants who come and go to say that the war broke out in the north, so the number of soldiers guarding the city has increased a lot, Zhao Lin glanced at it coldly, and then raised his right arm and waved it forward.
A thousand longbowmen quietly approached Hirayama Castle under the cover of night. The next moment, a dense rain of arrows suddenly rose from the darkness and fell endlessly towards the heads of the defenders who were at the head of the city in peacetime. Suddenly, like wheat that has been cut down, it falls in large patches. Suddenly there was a continuous howl above the city.
"Attack, there are enemy attacks!"
"Hide! Hide behind the women's wall! Hide in the castle tower, and ...... quickly."
The thousand men defending the city will immediately be holding scimitars, shouting hoarsely, so that these soldiers who are accustomed to the slaughter of war horses can get used to defending the city. Just as he shouted, a feathered arrow fell coldly from the sky, mercilessly piercing his right arm, and a thousand people screamed, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground, and two of his own soldiers had already stepped forward to save the general into the tower. Without the general's command, the situation on the walls was even more chaotic.
In the east gate of Pingshan City, when the shouting of killing sounded above the east gate, three hundred soldiers with white cloth in their hands appeared murderously under the inner gate of the east city.
"Who? What for? The soldiers who were nervous because of the screams on the city wall immediately opened their bows and arrows and pointed directly at the comer.
"Slow down, sir! I heard the shouts of killing at the east gate, and I came to support. We are from the Left Army of the Servant Army, and I am Captain Jiang Tong! ”
The 100-man commander behind the city gate took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the left army of the servant army, the left army camp of the servant army, not far from the east city gate, and adjacent to the east camp of the Yan army. It's just that what makes him wonder is why the Evil Army didn't come to support, but instead came to the servant army?
There are not many troops under the gate of the eastern city, only more than 200, and their task is only to resist the city gate to the death and prevent the enemy army from entering the city.
"Okay, come here, I don't know who it is, dare to attack my Pingshan City, I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" The centurion scolded.
Jiang Tong slowly approached the city gate with three hundred men, preparing to assist in defending the city.
At the same time, the chief general of the eastern camp of the Yan Ya army also scolded again and again, for some reason, his own camp suddenly caught fire, and more than 100 people broke into the camp and set fire to it privately.
"How did they get in? What about the guards? They're all dead! Damn it! ”
He really couldn't figure out why his camp was killed by a group of black-clothed people, who set fire to his camp and make his camp a mess.
"Report! General, at the east gate, there is a shout of killing, is it immediately supporting? ”
"East Gate? Bring 500 men to your aid! ”
Excluding the guards guarding the city, there are only 1,000 people in Dongying now, and he still has hundreds of people left to clean up the camp. In addition to the big battalion, the thousands of generals who went straight to the east gate didn't think much about it, they just wanted to find out the origin of the shouting and killing at the east gate immediately.
"Kill!"
Halfway down the road, a group of soldiers poured out from the streets on both sides, no less than their own people. Thousands of people will take a closer look, and it turns out to be a servant army. Immediately furious: "What do you want?" ”
"Kill!" The servant army did not speak, but rushed straight to the army of the Spirits, and immediately killed together......
Outside Pingshan City, Zhao Lindi's right arm was raised high again, and then gently waved it down.
The Black Crush Infantry came out of the night like a ghost. A full 2,000 elite infantry were divided into twenty squads. Carrying twenty hastily tied up simple ladders towards the walls of Pingshan Castle, the longbowmen converted from the Gangzi Battalion continued to shoot with bows and arrows, and the defenders, who were less numerous than the Huolin Army, had been completely suppressed.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The heavy ladders were beaten one by one, and they landed on the head of Pingshan City. Dozens of carefully selected warriors scrambled up, and the howling defenders on the towers finally reacted and began to roar hoarsely.
"The enemy has slain the walls!"
"Quick, come quickly, drive the enemy down......"
But as soon as someone came up, he was shot by some marksmen and died on the spot. The Warrior Army was good at archery, but after the cavalry turned into a defender, most of the weapons they carried were scimitars and spears, and there were few archers, and they were crushed by the Huolin Army.
"Poof......
In a flash of cold light, the horizontal knives in the hands of the soldiers who stepped on the city wall had swept out, and the two defenders were cut into four in an instant, and blood from their internal organs splashed all over the city tower. Under the light of the fire, it was like a miserable prison on earth, and the two defenders of the Yan Army who had just rushed to the front were stunned. Just as he was stunned, the cold light flashed again, and two more heads were thrown away.
The foot soldiers of the Huolin Army had already killed the city wall, and under the city wall, except for the marksman, the rest of the Gangzi battalion soldiers retreated one after another, stepped on the war horse not far behind him, and waited for the gate to open.
Seeing that his subordinates were already approaching the soldiers under the city gate, Jiang Tong nodded secretly. The long knife in his hand reached out like lightning, and only a cold light flashed.
"Poof......
The hundred-man head had already flown up and fallen several meters away.
"Flutter Flutter Flutter ......"
The rest of the soldiers also suddenly attacked, and more than 200 soldiers were still defenseless, and they were fleeting.
"Open the gates! Open the gates! Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Jiang Tong shouted.
"The rest of the brothers come with me, stop them for me!" Jiang Tong pointed directly at the soldiers who had been killed when he heard the news, and shouted loudly.
"Bold, rebellious! It seems that you can't be left behind! "The thousand wounded on the walls of the city will stand on the inside of the walls, condescending, and shouting.
Jiang Tong laughed and said: "As a native of Yan Kingdom, die as a ghost of Yan Kingdom!" What is there to fear from death! Kill! ”
"Kill them all!" The thousand people who covered their shoulders shouted angrily. Then he looked at the city walls again, because the enemy army had already killed the city, and there were no reinforcements, and the servant army rebelled.
Where did this Yan Jun come from? I heard that our way back has been blocked by Yanzhou Mansion, is this true? Why is there no initiative within the tribe? Didn't you say that the northeastern provinces of Youzhou belong to us completely? What's going on here? A thousand people will think bitterly.
Inside the castle of Hirayama Castle.
"What's going on? Where did the shouting come from? Pingshan County guard Xue Zhihan turned over and listened attentively.
"General! Checkmate! Something is wrong! ”
Xue Zhihan suddenly put on his coat and hurried out of the bedroom, and the guards stomped their feet back and forth outside the house in a hurry.
"What's going on? What's going on? ”
The guards hurriedly said: "General Hui, there are enemy troops outside the East City!" Dongying was also set on fire by enemy troops! Also, the Dongying Servant Army...... It's the other way around! ”
"Go and give the order! Let the general of Beiying immediately support, and the rest of the city walls will strictly guard the city gate, and no one will be allowed to leave the city! As for the Dongying Servant Army, don't count the killing! Xue Zhihan said sharply.
"General, what about the North Camp Servant Army?" The guard asked.
A cold light flashed in Xue Zhihan's eyes, and he said, "Leave it in the camp for the time being, and don't go out." When the enemy forces outside the city are pacified, they will be killed! These people can't be left behind. ”
North Camp.
"General! Checkmate! Outside the big tent of the general of Beiying, the captain of the personal guard shouted urgently, but he did not receive the slightest answer, because the general likes women, and it is inconvenient for the captain of the personal guard to break in privately. There was no response for a long time, and in desperation, I had to enter and urge to urge, but I couldn't be negligent about the big things in front of me.
"Ahh As soon as the captain of the guard entered the tent, he found that the general had died in the tent, and the woman who was supposed to be waiting for him had disappeared.
"General! Yes...... The general has been assassinated! A hundred people hurried into the tent, but when they found the scene in front of them, they exclaimed.
"Squeak ......"
The east gate was slowly opened......
"My lord, the gates are open!"
"Herald! Gangzi Camp! Rush in, and the infantry follows! Where the army is killed, don't be killed! Those who hold sharp blades, those who have no mark, those who do not respect orders, do not count as killing! Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to rob will be killed! Thou shalt not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those who kill unarmed civilians without permission shall be beheaded! ”
"Squeaky ......" accompanied by a sound, the east gate of Pingshan City finally opened with a bang. The cavalry of the Gangzi Battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, swarmed in in an instant. It's like a flood that broke the embankment and flooded through the floodgates and rolled into the city of Pingshan City, at this moment. They are no longer human. They were beasts, bloodthirsty beasts with round eyes, gaping mouths and fangs.
Jiang Tong, who was on the knife in many places, looked at the Huolin Army roaring by, and suddenly laughed: "We are the Yan Army again!" Dead brothers, you can look at it! You are no longer traitors! ”
"Jiang Tong?" Zhao Lin rode across the city gate, looked at the man covered in blood in front of him, and asked.
"Yes!"
"From now on, your unit is already the Huolin Army, let people lead us the way and kill all the Evil Warriors in the city!"
"Willingly!" Jiang Tong and the others rode on the war horses led by the soldiers of the Gangzi Battalion, and said urgently: "Not far to the west, my subordinates are still fighting hard with the Yan Army. ”
"What are you waiting for? Kill! ”
"Kill!"
Cavalry and foot soldiers, like surging rivers, poured into Pingshan City. Not long after, the black banner of the Dongcheng Martial Army fell, and the Flame Qilin Banner was raised......
The Yan army in Pingshan City suddenly found that more than a dozen hundred generals and thousands of generals were killed one after another, and countless Han soldiers appeared in the shadows, attacking and killing the patrol posts and heralds of the Yan army.
Without a command, the Taya army fell into chaos in an instant. Perhaps they are accustomed to cavalry combat in the field, and they are not familiar with the defense of the city and street battles. In addition to the servant army anyway, even some people suddenly took action against those lone Yan soldiers, and even a few or dozens of people teamed up to solve several or dozens of Yan soldiers. Some of these people are the Servant Army organization anyway, and some are the work of the Blood Shadow Guard and the Shadow Guard. For the Yan Army, these ordinary people have long hated it.
In addition, there are also some large families, which have also organized families and nursing homes, and after receiving the weapons privately provided by the Huolin Army, they have been dispatched to kill the streets. Of course, these people are all wrapped in white cloth, otherwise, they may be attacked by the Fire Lin Army.
Jiang Tong took the Huolin army to the west and rushed straight to the east camp, wanting to rescue the five hundred subordinates who were left behind to intercept the Yan army. However, when he arrived, he was a little confused by what was happening in front of him.
Most of the 500 soldiers were there, and less than 50 people died, but on the street, most of the 500 soldiers were lying on the ground. In addition to the 500 soldiers he left behind, there were many disorganized people. There were people dressed in all kinds of clothes, and they had everything in their hands, such as poles, hoes, and kitchen knives...... There is also a team with the same uniform, and at a glance you know that they are family guards, and in their hands, they are all regular weapons.
"Looks like we're late! These Evil Warriors have been preempted! Zhao Lin said with a smile.
"Keep going! Kill all the Jin Ya army and let the Han people dominate Pingshan City! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The crowd responded, and hundreds of people and family guards followed the Huolin Army and killed them in all directions. Along the way, those Evil Soldiers would not have thought about why these bitter haha, who usually swallowed their anger, would explode with such a powerful force......
"Little Zhang An, I've seen an adult!" While marching to the northern camp, Zhao Lin encountered a group of servants. However, these people did not have a white cloth wrapped around their arms, and the person at the head was a middle-aged man with a humble smile.
"Zhang An? The Fire Lin Army went to contact you before, but you refused to cooperate, why? What are you looking for me now? ”
Zhang An smiled flatteringly: "Adults are aware of it, it's not a small non-cooperation, it's ...... time."
"Kill!" Zhao Lin snorted coldly.
"What?" "Poof!"
More than ten arrows shot Zhang An into a hornet's nest, Zhang An raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Lin, but finally fell weakly.
"Jiang Tong, the servant army will be taken over by you for the time being, let them wrap up white cloth and act in accordance with military orders, otherwise, they will be killed!"
Jiang Tong's face was stunned, and he said loudly: "Jiang Tong takes the order!" ”
The 3,000 Huolin army entered the city, and after a moment, the whole city responded, and the Yan army was completely under siege...... Hirayama Castle! Captured! Now for the political officials......
