Xiliang Iron Cavalry

After Jia Rong said some words of encouragement to the soldiers, he walked down the city wall. Zhang Wei followed closely behind Jia Rong. The leader of the pro-guard army was Zhang Yi, a soldier of the Han army. Assuming this position, the selection of the leader of the pro-guard army is very strict. Li Li's selection criteria are not only in terms of force, but also a test of resourcefulness. (.

Jia Rong did not express any objection to Zhang Yi's position as the leader of the pro-guard army. The deputy leader of the pro-guard army is Ula, a member of Ulan's tribe.

Jia Rong was injured on the battlefield, Zhang Yi, the leader of the personal guards, blamed himself, and the three hundred personal guards walked in the crowd without the usual haughty look.

According to statistics, there were about 2 Qiang soldiers who died in this battle, and those who were injured did not know. There are more than [-] rebels, and today the rebels almost gained a foothold on the city wall. This is the most deadly point. The reason is also that the side defending the city is short of manpower.

Jia Rong also wanted to encourage the people in the city to join the battle, but the current situation is obviously inappropriate, and the militia can only be used as a support for the time being. Now the rebels under the leadership of Han Sui are not a group of mobs, so that ordinary people Going up the city wall is tantamount to letting them die, and it will also affect the cooperation of the defending army.

Letting these elite soldiers of the Xiliang Army die on the city wall like this is really useless. What's more, the Xiliang Army is basically cavalry. The soldiers of the camp are best at fighting on foot. It is not a problem for a soldier trapped in the camp to fight three rebel soldiers on foot on the city wall. During the defense of the city, Li Shun's pressure is the least. Jiang Yu has some people.

On the way back to the county government, Jia Rong thought deeply about today's battle of defending the city, thinking about how to gain the greatest advantage. ..

"Cavalry!" Most of the Xiliang Army's soldiers are cavalry. Why don't cavalry be used in the battle of defending the city? Infantry can defend the city, as can cavalry, provided that Pingxiang City can run horses.

Jia Rong returned to the city in a hurry, took a closer look at the city wall of Pingxiang City, and found that it was completely possible. After thinking about it, Jia Rong's mood changed a lot.

On the third day, the rebels launched a fierce attack on Pingxiang, and the momentum was more courageous than yesterday. The siege battle yesterday gave the rebels hope, and the news of Jia Rong's injury gave the rebels even greater hope. Han Sui predicted that if this continues, Pingxiang City will be breached within three days, but the loss of his own army will also be great. Han Sui thinks it is worthwhile to eliminate Jia Rong, a famous general in name. , anyway, most of the soldiers consumed are the Qiang army.

As in the past, the siege soldiers held their shields high and carefully climbed up the ladder, which greatly slowed down the speed of the siege, and poured down a ladle of dung juice. Although they did not achieve great results, they did Let the siege rebels be silent.

The momentum of the falling boulder was enough to knock down all the soldiers on the ladder, and then the defending Han army could easily overthrow the ladder. The rebels did not have more advanced siege weapons, so they could only rely on their manpower advantage, and the city gate was sealed. It is impossible to break in at all.

After the siege battle lasted for an hour, many rebel soldiers climbed up the city wall again. Compared with yesterday, they attacked faster. Han Sui in the rebel camp saw the soldiers climbed up the city wall and hurriedly ordered Beat the drums to cheer.

The dull sound of the drum hit the hearts of every soldier who was attacking the city. The sound of the drum made their blood boil, and the pace of the attack accelerated. When the rebels climbed the city wall, the effect of rolling dung juice became smaller. , For a while, there were more and more Qiang soldiers on the city wall.

The rebel soldiers who attacked the city could clearly feel that the Han army defending the city was much weaker than yesterday's resistance. Discovering such a situation undoubtedly fueled the arrogance of the rebel soldiers.

After Jia Rong once again killed a soldier who attacked the city wall, he ordered to Zhang Wei beside him: "The guards charge!"

Three hundred cavalrymen who had already been prepared launched an attack towards the city wall. Riding on the horses, an indescribable confidence filled the chests of the guards. The three hundred cavalrymen were divided into three waves to face the rebel soldiers who attacked the city wall. An attack was carried out.

Using the power of horses, the rebels who attacked the city wall were wiped out in just two waves of charge. Although there were some accidental injuries during the period, the overall record was very good.

The city wall of Pingxiang City is quite wide and can withstand two cavalry charging together. The effect is not as great as fighting on flat ground. After the three hundred guards charged, the rebel soldiers who attacked the city hadn't reacted yet. They were completely stunned by this style of play again. In their cognition, war horses charge on the ground, so how could they charge on a war horse when they reached the city wall?

This kind of situation also happened on the other three walls. The rebel soldiers who were caught off guard were beaten to pieces. The best coordination was Li Shun in the east, who was trapped in the camp. The rebels attacking the upper city had no pressure at all.

After the rebel army on the city wall was wiped out, the rebel army's offensive slowed down again. If they wanted to attack the city wall, they had to pay a certain price. Regardless of the small size of Pingxiang City, it was also a great obstacle.

The day passed quickly. Compared with yesterday, the defending soldiers obviously felt the pressure dropped sharply, while the casualties of the rebel soldiers were even greater than yesterday. Basically, the surviving soldiers have several people behind their names. The number of heads is their result.

The city defenders paid more than 3000 casualties in exchange for more than [-] enemy casualties, which is more than [-] soldiers casualties yesterday. Such a result is very gratifying. What is even more gratifying is that the casualties of Xiliang Army soldiers have been significantly reduced.

On the fourth day, the rebels were still repelled. After yesterday's running-in, the defenders in the city cooperated with the cavalry more tacitly, and the casualties became smaller. In contrast, the losses of the siege rebels are gradually increasing. increase.

The bravery of the cavalry and the infantry gave hope to the soldiers defending the city, especially Xu Huang. After three days of defending the city, his awe of Jia Rong was even deeper. He only joined after Jia Xu's introduction Those who came to the Xiliang Army followed the army to Pingxiang in a hurry, and their knowledge of Jia Rong was only limited to the word of mouth of the soldiers. After experiencing Jia Rong's strategy and bravery, Xu Huang had already accepted it in his heart. After leaving Jia Rong, he obeyed Jia Rong's words in the battle of defending the city for several days.

On the fifth day, the rebels stopped attacking and just surrounded Pingxiang City. After four consecutive days of siege, the rebels suffered more than [-] casualties. Such a loss was unacceptable to the rebels. The method of combining foot and horse on the city wall was difficult for the rebels to crack for a while, so they could only stand in a stalemate like this.

For three consecutive days like this, the rebels outside the city completely calmed down, and Pingxiang City was like a tightly huddled hedgehog, making it impossible for the rebels to speak.

On the sixth day, the rebels launched a more violent attack.

Not long after the siege battle started, a general patrolling the city hurried to Jia Rong's side.

"General Qi, I heard a lot of movement in the city, as if the rebels were digging things underground."

Jia Rong didn't dare to be negligent, no wonder the rebel army's attack on the city today was only thunderous and rainy, and they wanted to play tricks.

The rebels had been digging the tunnel for three days, and they were about to dig into the city today. By then, they would be able to take Pingxiang in one fell swoop. This was Han Sui's last resort.

As soon as a rebel soldier showed his head, he was killed by the defenders who had already prepared, and then some lit rotten wood was thrown in. The soldiers behind the tunnel were coughing and coughing, and the smoke filled the air. What's more, the soldiers in the tunnel couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, trampled on each other, and there was a sudden chaos.

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice, and digging tunnels did not achieve the desired effect. On the contrary, the rebels lost a lot of troops.

From the face of Han Sui, the generals under the tent could not feel the frustration after the failure of the siege. Han Sui still kept a faint smile on his face, as if the failure of the siege had nothing to do with it. It doesn't matter, even if the final tunnel digging failed, Han Sui just praised Jia Rong.

After looking around, he said with a smile: "What do you think about Pingxiang City being unable to attack for a long time?"

After four days of siege, all the rebel generals no longer dared to underestimate Jia Rong in Pingxiang City. The combination of infantry and cavalry to defend the city made them very helpless. The attack on Pingxiang was stopped.

Lou Shan next to Han Sui said: "The defenders in Pingxiang City can't shrink back. We can give up Pingxiang and directly attack the land of Sanfu to take down Chang'an. It is expected that Jia Rong in Pingxiang will definitely rescue them with all their strength, and then they will be wiped out." During Jia Rongjun's time."

Lou Shan’s words won the support of most of the generals. The most important thing for the people of the Han Dynasty was the emperor’s order. When the rebels attacked Chang’an, as long as the Han Emperor issued an imperial decree, Jia Rong had to obediently go to the rescue. Advantage, defeating Jia Rong's thousands of people is not easy.

Lou Shan's words made Han Sui a little moved. This would greatly speed up the march. As long as enough troops were placed in the cities captured along the way, he would not be afraid of Jia Rongjun's attack.

Li Wenhou was the first to stand up and express his agreement. Not fighting Jia Rongjun is what Li Wenhou desperately wants to see.

Bian Zhang said: "Jia Rong is a general of the Han Dynasty. All the generals who have attacked the city in the past few days have also seen his talent. Why don't you know how to persuade him to join the coalition army with emotion and reason, which can greatly weaken the army? With the military power of the Han court, Pingxiang can be obtained for nothing, and such a general can be obtained, and three birds with one stone can be achieved."
