My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 407 Battle II

"Lei Shi Rolling Wood Golden Juice is ready."

Seeing that the Turkic people were about to rush to the city with a few hundred meters away, Zhang Kuang ordered to start the weapons for guarding nearby.

The Turkic cavalry's first counterattack brought thousands of casualties to Yingzhou City. It can be seen that it was not luck that the Turkic people were able to traverse the grassland.

They are natural cavalrymen and natural marksmen, and Turkic people, old and weak, women and children, can bend bows and set arrows on horseback. This is a skill that has been cultivated since childhood.

The overjoyed Turkic cavalry began to cover the infantry and began to attack the city. What they didn't expect was that their horses encountered obstacles again after avoiding the fireworks and arrow rain that covered the sky and the sun.

The horses that were attacking at full speed in a roundabout way all tripped to the ground for some reason, and the leading Turkic cavalry was thrown straight away. The fate can be imagined. He turned his back on his back, broke his neck without any struggle, and died on the spot.

Even a few lucky ones were trampled into flesh by the following cavalry.

Only the first frozen line of defense caused thousands of Turkic cavalry to be lost.

The Turkic cavalry who reacted pulled the reins, and the horses passed the first line of defense high, but the successive freezing directions prevented the Turkic horses from rushing quickly, and could only become targets for crossbowmen on the city wall.

In comparison, the situation of the Turkic infantry was not much better. The infantry carrying the ladder was either tripped to the ground or slipped on the smooth ice surface, and was trampled by the tide.

The most tragic thing is the Turkic people pushing the door-ramming car. The frozen line of defense one foot high and three feet wide has become an insurmountable moat. shoot dead.

No matter how many infantry came up to support them, the heavy siege engines still firmly held on to the first line of defense, unable to advance an inch.

Many shieldmen began to pull up battle formations to block the rain of arrows on the city wall, allowing the pawns to break the ice with their scimitars, and they paid a terrible price in just a moment.

Thousands of pawns were shot into hedgehogs by arrows, and their bodies were full of arrows, which made people feel terrified.

After finally crossing the first line of defense, the second line of defense came one after another. Compared with the first panic, the Turks became calmer and began to cooperate closely with the ice-breaking operation.

"General, there are only 20 arrows left."

Holding the command flag in his hand, Zhong Qiang hurriedly walked up to Zhang Kuang, his expression a little panicked.

"How can it be consumed so quickly, there are only 50 arrows left in 20 arrows?"

"General, there are tens of thousands of archers. Dozens of arrows per person is just a cup of tea. In addition to the counterattack of the Turkic arrow rain, it is difficult to grasp the accuracy in order to reduce casualties. What should we do next? Should we continue?"

Under the cover of his own soldiers, he looked wildly under the city wall and looked at the densely packed Turkic corpses without changing his face.

"General, beware of Turkic sharpshooters."

Zhang Kuang stretched out his hand to stop the reminder of the soldiers and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield: "Zhong Qiang, eight strong crossbowmen and archers are trying their best to suppress the Turkic central army. The front army has already begun to reach the city. It is not conducive to shooting. Use thunder stones to roll wood and golden juice Against them, the archers suppressed the Turkic center with all their might."

"Yes."

"Choose twenty people who are proficient in using bed crossbows and shoot the leader of the Turks with all their strength."

"General, what about the rear army of the Turks? If all 20 swords were shot to kill the middle army, what about the rear army?"

Zhang Kuang looked calm: "The rear army is handed over to Dong Kaishan who is ambushing outside the city. In Liu's words, there will be no hand-to-hand combat until the ammunition and food are exhausted. All 20 arrows will suppress the central army. The former army must not allow their siege equipment to be transported up."

"Order."

Zhong Qiang returned to his position and waved the flag in his hand: "The rain of arrows covered the Chinese army, and all of them were shot clean."

"General, we only have 20 arrows left."

"Shoot cleanly, the general has an order, and those who disobey the order will be shot cleanly."

The lieutenant gritted his teeth: "Decree."

"Hand crossbows suppress the infantry under the city with all their strength, and they are not allowed to approach the city."

The rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun flew out from under the city wall again, and there was another burst of screams from the Turkic people.

"Huo Buyan, Ke Yan listens."

"The last will obey."

The two of them knelt down on one knee and held their hands to make him look respectful.

"After the third signal, Xiong Kaishan will raid the Turkic rear army. Huo Buyan, you must lead the heavy cavalry to support the Turkic rear army from the east and west gates when Xiong Kaishan's light cavalry is attacking the Turkic rear army. Go straight to the central army and interrupt them formation."

"The end will be ordered."

Huo Buyan went down the city wall without hesitation.

"Ke Yan, half a quarter of an hour after the cavalry rushed to kill, three drums sounded as an order. You command the Modao team. The spears, halberds, swords, shields, and hands cover and open the north gate to meet the enemy. Intercept and surround the Turks' front, back, and middle armies. The army has suffered heavy losses now, and it must be wiped out. If the Turkic people are fighting to the death, pay attention to opening a gap so that they can see a glimmer of hope."

"The end will be ordered."

"Where is Zhang Feng?"

"Subordinates are here."

"Order Zhong Qiang, after the arrows are shot, the Bow and Archer Camp will abandon their bows and use knives, and immediately support Ke Yan after he leaves the city."

"Order."

"Where is Shen Hui?"

"Subordinates are here."

"To capture the thief, first capture the king, and gather a thousand soldiers. After the whole army meets the enemy, I follow the general out of the city and detour back to the Turkic camp, and take Ashina's tent directly."

"General, no, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can you go out of the city to meet the enemy? It's better for your subordinates to lead a team to detour and steal the camp."

"Shen Hui, what does this general rely on to lead his troops?"

The personal soldier Shen Hui hesitated for a moment: "Lead the soldiers."

"Execute the order!"

"Follow the order."

"General, all the arrows have been shot, and all the soldiers in the bow and arrow battalion abandon their bows and use their knives."

Zhang Kuang nodded softly: "Send a signal to Xiong Kaishan to attack the Turkic rear army with all our strength."

Three characteristic flares sounded in the sky.

Xiong Kaishan, who was lying in ambush outside Yingzhou City, suddenly drew out the saber he saw: "Xiongshi, the general has an order to divide the troops into two groups to attack the Turkic army with all their strength."

"Order."

"Brothers, it's time to make contributions, charge."

Eight thousand light cavalry horses galloped up, like a red cloud rushing towards the Turkic rear army.

"Your Majesty, call back Mingjin. Ten thousand warriors have already been lost just after reaching the city, and it will be over if we continue to fight."

Ashina looked at the arrows planted on the ground like wheat grains on the battlefield. A total of 50 arrows seemed to be covered with a layer of black floor tiles.

"Mingjin Harvest"

"kill"

Hearing the sound of killing from behind, Ashina's face changed drastically: "Didn't the scouts investigate? Where did the ambushes outside the city come from?"

Talmu's face also changed in surprise: "My lord, the scouts have already checked the terrain with a radius of ten miles and there is no ambush at all."

"Then where did this ambush come from? Why didn't the scouts send a signal when they were all in front of us?"

"Your Majesty, let's withdraw our troops first, otherwise it will be over."

"Mingjin withdraws troops."

But the sound of rushing and killing came from all directions, and they had already fought together.

In many dense forests outside the city, Commander Qi looked at the group of guards behind him: "How is it? Have you cleaned everything up?"

"Return to Commander, all the scouts behind the Turkic Army have been cleaned up."

"Yuan Qing, Liu Yang, where is Zheng Xing?"

Li Qi's expression was gloomy: "He died in battle."

Commander Qi's face changed: "Where's the corpse? How did you die in battle?"

Li Qi waved his hand with a sigh, and a group of inner guards walked over carrying the three corpses.

Commander Qi closed his eyes as he watched the throats of the three men pierced by feather arrows: "The Turkic scouts are all sharpshooters among the sharpshooters, and they really deserve their reputation."

"Commander, these Turkic people have dealt with wild beasts for a long time, and they are extremely alert. Each of them has the arrow technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps. The three of them were pierced through the throat by the feather arrow before they got close to the hundred steps."

Commander Qi withdrew the Yanling knife from his waist with a miserable expression: "Let's have a generous burial, each family's pension is 500 taels, each brother contributes to it, and I will take out 100 taels of silver to make up 1000 taels and send it back. Treat their relatives generously. "

The eyes of Li Qiyi's inner guards were a little moist: "Yes, Commander."
