(Thank you for your support from Dongguan Bald King, Junzi Bai, Ziye Xingchen, ★ Fire Me ★, Chinese Tiger Benjun, Xiao Qin 007, and BV6579, thank you!) )

On 2 July, the defense of Jincheng reached the most critical moment, and after several days of fierce attacks, the 50,000 Hu soldiers of Jeruzara had successively captured the four cities of Huairen, Yingcheng, Heyin, and Hunyuan, and the three gangs and four towns on the periphery of Jincheng were all lost. There were only a few defenders left who fought desperately and bloodily, but the Hu people still relied on their great strength advantage to open a huge gap in the strong walls of Jincheng, and countless Hu people poured in from the gap with a scream.

At this time, Jincheng had already been mobilized by the whole city, and there was no reserve to resist the gap that the Hu people dug tunnels and blew up with gunpowder.

Zhang Yu, the guard of Jincheng, and Luo Yan, the head of the capital he had promoted on the battlefield, looked at the Hu people who were overwhelming outside the city, and smiled bitterly.

At this point, it is indeed exhausted.

In that case, let's live and die with the city.

Zhang Yu raised the Damascus Uzi Medal knife given by Li Jing, the king of Qin, and said with emotion: "We have done our best, and I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with everyone and die together." The only regret is that I can't see King Qin wipe out all these ugliness with my own eyes, Luo Yan, you are good, I will go first! ”

Zhang Yuning died, and he didn't want to become a prisoner of these Hu people.

Luo Yan grabbed his hand: "Wait a minute! ”

"It's come to this point, what are you waiting for, there's no point in killing one or two more Hu people, Lao Tzu doesn'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 little strange?"

Hear this. Zhang Yu turned back to the battlefield at this time.

Truly. The atmosphere on the battlefield was somewhat odd. In front of the big gap in the city wall, countless Hu people were pouring in, and the Hu people who had already poured in were spreading like a tide to the streets of the city. But behind the gap, there was already a rapid sound of gongs.

Knocking on the gong? This is not a celebratory gong, the gong is struck on the battlefield, and it is called Mingjin, which means to collect and withdraw troops.

Far away, farther away. Many flags were waving, the cavalry was galloping back and forth, and some Hu officers were shouting loudly, and the voices could be faintly heard with panic and fear. In the distance, the Hu people's reserve team was hurriedly adjusting the array, and the soldiers stopped hesitantly, at a loss.

They were very flustered!

From the northeast, there was a light rumbling sound of thunder.

No, it wasn't thunder, it was the sound of thousands of horses galloping like thunder.

Zhang Yu, who thought he could only commit suicide, looked at Luo Yan with a bright smile on his face, "Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived." And looking at the direction, this is reinforcements from Ulju. So fast? ”

The mood was agitated, it was simply an earth-shattering reversal, and the excited Zhang Yu opened his throat and shouted at the sergeants who were lying or leaning on the head of Jincheng Yacheng City, and were already ready to accept their fate: "Reinforcements have arrived, King Qin's reinforcements have arrived!" ”

"Troops appear in the northeast!"

"It's the red robe, the black military flag, the black flying eagle battle flag, it's our reinforcements, King Qin's reinforcements have arrived!"

"All cavalry, the number is unknown!"

"A lot"

"At least 10,000!"

"More than ten thousand!"

"At least twenty thousand!"

"More than that!"

"There should be thirty thousand!"

A group of wounded soldiers who were originally desperate looked at the hopelessness, looking at the dust raised in the northeast, and excitedly guessing the number of reinforcements. As the black line under the dust and smoke approached, the black line gradually turned into a black tide, and many experienced sergeants were even already estimating the number of reinforcements, 10,000, 20,000, 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. At this time, although the 50,000 Hu people broke through more than a dozen villages in several counties, the defenders also resisted desperately and killed more than 20,000 Hu people. At this time in Jincheng, the Hu people did not even have a large number of reinforcements.

"Oh my God, the golden armor appeared, it was Liu Yanei's golden armor Shengjie army, the most powerful cavalry unit!"

"Long live, long live King Qin, long live Shengjie Army, long live!" The remnants of the soldiers on the head of the city were boiling, in the entire Qin army, only the Shengjie army was wearing all the golden armor, this is the strongest cavalry unit to defend Yanjing and protect the King of Qin, the King of Qin actually sent this cavalry to save them, long live!

As if to prove their words, the 10,000 Shengjie army accelerated again as they charged, and in an instant they had already rushed to the front, and they let out a deafening roar while charging: "Shengjie! "This is the charge of the Shengjie army that is like a fake.

Zhang Yu was still a little immersed in surprise at this time, how did they come so quickly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think, why did he have an accident in the south but he hadn't arrived yet?

At this time, it was indeed the reinforcements of the Qin army mainly based on the Shengjie army, with Liu Xun as the main general, Qin Zongshou, the general of Goguryeo, Gao Rong, and Liu Zhijun, the general of the original probation army who was newly attached to the Qin army, and 30,000 soldiers and horses led by the general Zhang Yun, of which Liu Xun's Shengjie army and Qin Zongshou's wolf tooth army were all cavalry troops, while Gao Rong, Liu Zhijun and Zhang Yun's were three cavalry infantry.

After receiving Li Jing's order to quickly reinforce Jincheng, Liu Xun gave full play to the mobility advantage of the Qin army, the cavalry was equipped with two horses, the infantry was also equipped with two horses, 15,000 cavalry, 15,000 cavalry infantry, five corps, 30 compartments, and 60 battalions, forming a mixed infantry and cavalry corps, and marched all the way from the military capital to come. In a few days, they had already marched out of the capital of the city, passing through Fuzhou, Confucianism, Xinzhou, Wuzhou, and Ulzhou, and finally appeared on the battlefield unexpectedly.

Arriving at the battlefield, the Hu people had even just received the news of the return of the horses, 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 the outer city of Jincheng, and the Hu people were in chaos on the battlefield.

Liu Xun holds the tiger head Zhan gold gun, which is a gun made of cold iron, one zhang and one foot three, and the head of the gun is in the shape of a black gold tiger head, and the tiger swallows the blade. The body of the gun is gilded. Cast in platinum. Extremely sharp,

The body of the gun is made of cold iron, one zhang and three feet long, the head of the gun is in the shape of a black gold tiger head, the tiger's mouth swallows the blade, the body of the gun is gold-plated, it is made of platinum, and it is extremely sharp. Chop and chop, not afraid of fire, refining iron. It was the spear given by Li Jing himself when Liu Xun became the commander of the 10,000 Shengjie army.

The tiger head Zhan golden gun was equipped with a golden battle armor, as well as a golden sweat and blood horse, plus the golden Liu Zi general flag in the hands of the flag officer behind him, and he was suddenly very majestic.

"The whole army will charge with me!"

Liu Xun did not choose the whole team, but charged directly without stopping. He could already see that with their sudden appearance, the Hu people were panicked at this time. They didn't even see that they were fifteen thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry, only to see sixty thousand horses galloping all over the sky. And because it has just broken through the outer city of Jincheng. At this time, the Hu people were divided into two parts, but the soldiers of the Qin army had newly arrived and their morale was booming, and at this time, they took advantage of the chaos and did not know the truth and were frightened and chaotic to directly launch an attack, and did not give them the slightest chance to prepare, which was a golden opportunity to defeat them. ”

Jeruza's face turned pale, he didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Qin army would arrive so soon. Moreover, it came from the northeast, not the northwest.

These days, he has actually been on guard against the return of Zhang Zimian, the marshal of the Qin army's western expedition, so in the direction of Shuozhou, several cavalry reconnaissance and cavalry troops were dispatched, and even his ten-year-old son Yelu Abaoji was also leading a thousand-man cavalry to patrol in the south at this time.

But who would have thought that the Qin army would be killed here so quickly. Moreover, so many soldiers and horses were killed.

Jeruzara hurriedly ordered to turn around to meet the battle, but for a while, he only came and transferred more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from the reserve behind to resist. As long as he could contain the charge of the Qin army, he would be able to regroup his troops and horses, and even retreat into Jincheng to resist the enemy. The Qin army has reinforcements, and he can also hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements.

Tens of thousands of Hu people jumped on their horses, brandished all kinds of weapons in their hands, and roared and screamed under the chaotic banners of various tribes, and rushed towards the Qin army.

On the opposite side, the elite cavalry of the Qin army, who was rushing to the front, Sheng Jiejun let out a loud roar again: "Sheng Jie!" ”

The roar of the 10,000 elite horsemen instantly drowned out the ghost screams of the Hu people, and the 10,000 horses galloped like thunder, and the queue was lined up like a moving iron wall and rushed towards the scattered Hu people.

Zhang Yu, Luo Yan, Zhang Luo and others, who were watching the battle from the high arrow tower, were all a little surprised: "The speed of the Shengjie army's charge doesn't seem to be as fast as that of Hu Ren?" ”

"Why don't they release arrows?"

Yes, the sharpest cavalry tactics of the Qin army in the past were the speed of the wind, and the crossbow arrows like a rainstorm, plus the thunderstorm-like thunder throwing bombardment. The core of the tactics is to ride and shoot, swimming, rather than face-to-face frontal white-knuckle combat with the enemy cavalry, the cavalry of the Qin army, most of them are long-range cavalry, only the heavy cavalry of the Black Flag Army is the frontal battle, indomitable.

The Hu people's Chinese army was under the Great Force, and Jeruzara was also puzzled, did the Qin people want to fight with them? When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, I'm afraid that no matter how well equipped the cavalry of the Qin people is, they can't compete with the bravery of the warriors of the grassland tribe, right?

The Shengjie army had already rushed to within 100 steps, and Liu Xun's loud voice came: "No archery, keep in formation, and continue to charge!" ”

Under the guidance of the golden battle banner, the cavalry behind continued to charge at a speed that was not too fast, and in the sound of horns, the closer they got to each other, the more neat the queue became. From a distance, it looks like iron walls are moving.

Their horned bows were still hanging from their saddles, their crossbow machines were still hanging from their waists, and the earth-shattering thunder was also in the pouches of their waists.

They were clad in gold-plated steel cuirass, with a small round cavalry shield with a conical mirror on their left arm, an eight-foot three-edged spear in both hands, an unsheathed sharp sword horse at their waists, and a steel helmet like an iron pot on their heads, which covered their entire heads.

They rode next to each other, shoulder to shoulder, and controlled their horses with only their legs, without holding the reins in their hands, and with shields and guns in their hands, they kept their speed and formation and charged forward.

Sixty steps!

The galloping Hu cavalry began to release arrows immediately, but their good archery skills were met at this time, but they encountered the excellent armor of the Qin army, steel helmets, cuirasses, cavalry shields, and horse armors, blocking most of the arrows for them. Moreover, the whole platoon of cavalry was lined up, and they blocked each other, so that the arrows in the sky were full of real lethality, but the real lethality was very limited.

The Qin army did not return fire and continued to advance steadily.

Fifty steps.

Forty steps.

Thirty steps

The stabbing finally felt where the worry 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 charge in formation like infantry.

This kind of formation is very powerful, at least it is very powerful in the Qin army now, because they have excellent helmets and cuirasses, and most importantly, discipline. Not all cavalry can be like this Qin cavalry, facing the sky with bows and arrows, but they can always maintain a formation, charging without hurry and without the slightest counterattack.

If it had been replaced by the cavalry of the steppe tribes, I am afraid that the ghosts would have shouted and rushed up.

But the Qin army did it, they came in formation like infantry, there was no scattering, no counterattack, just straight ahead!

"Kill!"

With a loud roar, the two armies got closer and closer, and the speed of the galloping Shengjie army did not decrease in the slightest, and the cavalry began to lower their bodies, and their spears neatly exceeded the horse's body by more than five feet.

Hu Qi is still firing arrows!

But the two armies were getting closer and closer, twenty paces, ten paces, five steps

A thunderous roar: "Shengjie!" ”

With this loud roar, the iron wall in front of him shot out like a dragon almost at the same time, and one after another eight-foot cavalry spears pierced out of the array, just rushed up, ready to teach these Qin people a lesson, what is cavalry, what is cavalry, what is horsemanship, what is bravery, but they were shocked to find that three or four bayonet spears appeared in front of them almost at the same time.

Blocked one, two, but couldn't block the third, fourth.

With disbelief and unwilling anger, the fierce and conceited Hu warriors fell down their horses with several blood holes in one round, and then were ruthlessly run over by the neat iron wall of the Qin army!

With the tremendous impact of the Iron Wall tactics, the spears of the Shengjie soldiers pierced through the Hu cavalry rushing one after another without difficulty, and continued to maintain the momentum of the charge without hurry. One row rushed through, and the second row of iron walls rolled over.

The tactics of the Qin army were like a comb, combed over and over again in the wilderness under the golden city, and those scattered horsemen were stabbed down one by one.

In such battles, the Hu people stabbed a Qin army to death, often dozens of them themselves had already died.

The victorious army rolled forward, without stopping, until it pierced through the entire enemy army.

At this time, they began to turn around, split into a slightly smaller array of iron walls, and continued to charge and kill.

At this time, Qin Zongshou's wolf tooth cavalry of 5,000 people was finally dispatched, Qin Zongshou's five-element cavalry army was completely using the traditional tactics of the Qin army, they galloped, rode and shot, and shot the Hu cavalry gangs that were routed by the iron cavalry, arrows, crossbows, and thunderbolts, like a group of blood-devouring sharks, specifically for those Hu people who were scattered, outflanked, rode and shot, scattered, and finally annihilated in one fell swoop.

They have a clear division of labor and act quickly.

The Qin army far surpassed Hu Qi in terms of the number of reinforcements, and the weapons and equipment far exceeded those of these tribes, not to mention, this time the Qin army adopted a peculiar new tactic for the first time, which caught them off guard.

In less than half an hour, nearly 10,000 Hu cavalry had been scattered and fled in all directions.

The three mounted infantry troops behind had already dismounted and assembled.

Goguryeo general Gao Rong slashed forward with a two-handed heavy sword that was a man high, yelled at his Korean army, and pointed at the purple dachu of Jeruzah's thorn: "The whole army attack, crush them!" (To be continued......)
