Chapter 274: The Pear Blossom Cavalry Breaks the Truth
The battalion officer is the man, and the general is the horseman.
After Yang Yizhong's words were shouted, the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him heard a message: General Yang was in a hurry, seeing that the first work of recovering Zhending City was about to be taken away by the flying kite soldiers at Quduan, General Yang, who had always refused to admit defeat, was completely anxious.
The main general is in a hurry, and the soldiers are all afraid. But at the same time, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was also instantly stimulated to the extreme under Yang Yizhong's suppression.
The roars and shouts resounded throughout the entire Zhending City when Yang Yizhong ordered the messengers to start waving the tricolor flag according to his instructions.
As the latest weapon of the Xinwang Army, the Shenwu cannon threw dozens of shells into the city immediately after the order for Yang Yizhong's all-out general attack was issued.
At this time, the sixty Shenwu cannons surrounding the four gates of Zhending City were all Liu Xing's belongings.
Yang Yizhong and the artillerymen had an idea in their hearts when the artillery spewed flames: If you can't snatch the head from the flying kite soldiers with the power of the Shenwu cannon, how can you go back to see Taifu in the future!
Therefore, the soldiers next to the sixty guns, after firing the first shot, suddenly all became a group of tireless people. Rapid reloading, constant movement between the cannon and the ammunition depot amid the shouts of the gun commander.
As soon as dozens of cannonballs containing concentrated fire oil that Liu Xing had personally configured were fired into the city, they immediately made Zhending City, which was already in the sea of fire, even more fierce.
Before the artillery bombardment was over, Yang Yizhong turned sideways and let out a second round of shouting orders to the Tongchuan soldiers behind him.
As the tricolor flag of the communication soldiers became more urgent, more than 20,000 trapped soldiers rushed to the moat. The "confrontation" chariot of Western Xia, when the generals of the Jin State on the city wall saw that those Song army trapped, they actually pushed the "confrontation" chariot. They were all stunned in an instant.
A man of about forty years old stared wide-eyed at the opposing chariots by the moat. Taken aback, he exclaimed, "Have the Human Dao and the Demon Spirit Dao joined forces?" Isn't this the opposing chariot of the Tanguts? How did you come to Zhending City! ”
The other Meng An, who was a few years older than him and nearly fifty years old, also looked at those opponents in dismay. He said in a daze: "It's okay, it's okay, the marshal should have escaped ten miles by now." Otherwise, even if you and I are fighting to the death, how can we fight against two Jedi with one family! ”
Can't run away?
Yes, just last night, a wizard who was with the army observed the stars. From that astrological sign, the sorcerer came to the revelation that the Song army would launch a general attack today.
As soon as he received such a revelation, he was shocked for a long time.
The reason why he was shocked was not only because there was the great evil god in Yang Yizhong outside the city, but also because the wizard told him that in this battle, a group of flying kites would become the main attack force of the Song army.
And the most important weapon that made him unable to leave and decided to run away was the fifteen Shenwu cannons that he had seen in the city and was pushed away by the Song army outside the four gates.
The power of those cannons can blow up enemies in groups from a thousand paces away. In addition, he has heard many times that Liu Xing often mixes a kind of loose gong smoke into firearms and uses it. All of this made Uri not realize that he had lost the battle, and if he didn't run, he could only die in humiliation in this city that did not belong to the Dajin Kingdom at all.
So, after sobering up from the shock, he didn't have time to think about it and summoned more than a dozen generals and wizards who had cultivated to be close to the Heavenly Demons. He had the dozen or so people cast spells together, first making him invisible, and then shooting him out of the ground more than two miles away like an arrow from the ground.
When the two Meng'an, who were in charge of staying behind and receiving the order to resist to the last soldier, they had already run through Dingzhou City, and the speed was much faster than the two Jin army generals who stayed behind to send them to death imagined......
He will not escape, and Liu Xing also knew about this last night.
It is also an astrological sign, but the astrologers in Wutai City are several levels higher than the magic power of the wizard of the Jin Kingdom in Zhending City, and this person is the envoy of Si Tianjian and the poison staff of Liu Xing.
After stargazing last night, he mysteriously told Liu Xing: Don't force the elite to sacrifice white. If you can't do it, the thief should not die, and even if you sacrifice the lives of our brothers, it is doomed to be useless. Because he hit the Demon Star Protector. If you want to die, you have to die somewhere in the north after a long time, not in the city of Zhending.
Whether he believed in Hui's astrology or not, Liu Xing still asked Yang Ling'er and the five elders of Shenxiao to rush to Zhending City to help in the battle.
But at the same time, Liu Xing also made a decision, that is, first let the Flying Kite soldiers burn the city of Zhending, and finally let Yang Yizhong send troops to attack the city.
It's a pity that Liu Xing's idea is very good. When facing the first-class military exploits, Yang Yizhong's ordinary fierce generals often lose their minds and will not really be able to fully obey Liu Xing's orders hundreds of miles away with a brave and ruthless heart.
Yang Yizhong's psychology has only one belief at this time: to take Zhending City, the first credit is mine!
As for Liu Xingjun's words about reducing sacrifices and saving troops, when the opponent rushed to the moat, he had already been thrown into the moat by Yang Yizhong and did not answer at all......
"Kill, kill, kill! Straight, those trapped soldiers are thinking about his ball! Rush up and kill Lao Tzu! ”
Standing a thousand steps away, Yang Yizhong saw that the trapped soldiers charged to the edge of the moat but suddenly stopped en masse, and did not immediately take a ladder to cross the river to attack the city wall, he couldn't help but shout urgently.
Zhang Xian, who was standing beside him, saw the general acting hoarsely and almost madly, so he smiled bitterly and walked quickly to Yang Yizhong's side.
Pointing to the city, Zhang Xian said to Yang Yizhong: "Admiral Yang, look there." The reason why the brothers stopped their footsteps should be those golden dogs hanging on the city wall. Only by first finding a way to get rid of the upside-down thistles will the brothers be able to capture the city walls with minimal casualties during the siege. ”
When Yang Yizhong heard this, he took a closer look in the direction guided by Zhang Xian, and immediately cursed loudly: "Straight lady thief, aren't those thistles all the artifacts of my Great Song Dynasty guarding the city. Okay, now it's become a sharp weapon for the golden dog to block my Great Song Dynasty. ”
After this scolding, Yang Yizhong turned around sharply and turned over on his horse.
After raising the big gun, he shouted: "All the Pear Blossom Lancers get on their horses, follow the general to kill the generals, and pick up all those thistles." ”
Hearing this shout, three thousand cavalry quickly lined up and quickly assembled behind Yang Yizhong.
These 3,000 people were a special cavalry unit formed by Yang Yizhong after obtaining Liu Xing's permission and according to his personal preferences.
The reason why it is special is that the weapons of these cavalry are different from those of other cavalry. They were holding pear blossom guns with a two-foot-long cartridge under the head.
The bottom of the gun head is filled with a mixture of willow charcoal, iron, magnetic powder, sulfur, arsenic and other drugs, which have the effects of combustion, toxic smoke and spraying.
Once the two armies confronted each other, Yang Yizhong was able to sweep thousands of miles to capture Bianjing before, in fact, in addition to the help of firearms, the biggest benefit was this pear flower gun. It's just that at that time, there were only 300 people in the Pear Blossom Cavalry, and now it has grown to six battalions and 3,000 people, and it has become more powerful.
Another advantage of the Ewha Cavalry and other cavalry that determined that as long as they attacked, they would also take advantage of the cheap in the face of urban battles, that is, these cavalry were all lightly armed and thinly armoured, and each carried a flying claw hook and sickle and a small round shield made of fine iron on horseback.
The reason why Yang Yizhong wanted to equip the pear flower rider with a flying claw hook and sickle was to let it charge to the city, once it encountered a situation where the camp was blocked, he would throw out the flying claws and join the siege battle based on the horse.
Not only does the Flying Claw Hook Scythe hook the edge of the city wall for Rika to climb onto the wall, but it also serves as a defensive device that the enemy may have outside the wall.
And those small round shields, which don't look very heavy, but shields made of fine iron can block the projectiles of the fire gun within ten steps, and the archers of infinite strength cannot shoot through the shield within five steps.
When close to melee, even a god warrior like Yang Yizhong could only talk about the shield clanging with a big gun, but he didn't want to break the shield to hurt the pear blossom rider.
It can be said that the Pear Flower Cavalry is the most elite and versatile cavalry in the entire Xinwang Army today, except for the fire cavalry and dragoon guards that Liu Xingzheng personally prepared in Wutai County.
The reason why even Liu Xing had to admit that the cavalry created by Yang Yizhong for the Xinwang Army was an elite leader was a more important reason.
No matter how good a weapon is, it must be used by someone with good martial arts, so that the power of that divine weapon can be brought into full play. Yang Yizhong's pear blossom cavalry is a member of the cultivation that is never lower than that of a martial artist, and many of them are only one or two levels different from Yang Yizhong's Taoism and martial arts.
It was for this reason that after Yang Yizhong rushed out first, three thousand pear blossom riders followed closely and began to charge, and the formation of the team did not change in the slightest.
Arrows charge, long dragons stick to the city. In the blink of an eye, the three thousand pear blossoms rode like a gust of wind to the city wall.
After the cavalry flew over the moat on the opposing chariot, it quickly flew upward.
Listening to the strange screams of the golden soldiers on the city wall, the three thousand pear blossom riders used their flying claws and sickles to hook the iron thistles selected outside the wall at the same time.
There was a crackling sound, and three horsemen formed a group, three flying claws hooked an iron thistle, and then the three of them roared together and rode their horses back.
The strength of a man, the strength of a horse, and the strength formed by inertia. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thistles were all dragged to the city by the Pear Blossom cavalry and fell to pieces.
Before the golden soldiers in the city could react, the cannon rang out again. More than a dozen flowering cannonballs landed on the city wall accurately, and the golden soldiers who wanted to rush to the city wall with bows and crossbows to shoot the pear blossom riders were blown up in all directions, and people turned over on their backs.
At this moment, the originally sluggish trappers rushed across the moat and set up a ladder when Yang Yizhong led three thousand flying horsemen to fly up to the city...... (To be continued......)
