Horse on the World

Chapter 708 Assault on Qingyang County
Still tens of miles away, Zhang Liang heard the alarm bell coming from the direction of Qingyang County. All kinds of tactical deception, when the great success is about to be completed, a school lieutenant under his command was found to be a secret agent of the Dingzhou Supervisory Council. Although he tried his best to intercept and kill him, he still let him escape. Hearing the bell of Qingyang, Then he knew that the plan to raid and seize the city had come to naught.The only thing he can count on now is that the opponent is suddenly attacked and behaves in a panic, so that he can take advantage of it.

"Speed ​​up, speed up, we're going to spend the night in Qingyang County today!" Zhang Liang snapped.

The horseshoe stepped on the sun-baked ground, and huge dust was splashed, forming a billowing gray dragon, covering the sky and the sun. Standing in Qingyang County, I saw war horses coming out of the dust. The sky-shaking shouts almost made the people standing shoulder to shoulder in the city have to shout loudly to hear them.

"Grandma, if the war is fought with loud voices, these Minzhou people will definitely win!" Xu Kexing clenched his fists, pounded on the wall, and laughed loudly.

Below the city, a group of cavalry came aggressively on their horses, and went straight to the city wall. On the horses, they drew their bows and set up arrows, swishing a few arrows, and then shot towards the city.There were two crackling sounds, some were firmly nailed to the wall, while others flew over Xu Kexing's head.

"Damn it, it's so rampant! Come on, prepare the horses, let me teach them how cavalry fight?" Put the helmet on their heads, and strode down the city, "Prepare the horses!"

"General Xu, how can you go out of the city when the enemy is at hand? The enemy is so powerful that we can only defend the city and resist the enemy with the city." Tian Chong, the lieutenant of Zhenwu who was beside Xu Kexing and his deputy, objected loudly.

Xu Kexing tapped Tian Chong's helmet with the whip in his hand unceremoniously, "You know what the hell? Did you see that the other party is aggressive, and we dare not go out of the city if we are determined. I will do the opposite , Go and slap them in the face. I will come back after a poke, and they may not even have time to react."

Tian Chong shook his head and said: "General Xu, once you are trapped, it will be very difficult to retreat, the other side will frighten you to snatch the city gate."

Xu Kexing patted an eight-ox crossbow beside him, pointed to the catapult behind the city, and then reached out to snatch a first-grade bow from a soldier beside him, and his fingers licked the bowstring, clanging, "What are these things, are you eating them?" Do you cook?"

Tian Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "General Xu, you are also below, how can I do it easily?"

"Ball!" Xu Kexing scolded: "If the enemy general is really so powerful and entangles me, you will have to kill your relatives righteously. Not only will you not open the city gate to meet me, but you will also have to throw stone bullets over like rain down, and then the earth was blood red."

"Since you know, why go out and take risks?" Tian Chong said angrily.

Xu Kexing stared at the cavalrymen who were still emerging from afar, and sighed, "Son, do you think I'm a fool? Going out to be a hero out of nowhere? The enemy came suddenly, imposingly, and their strength was several times that of ours. Above all, just looking at the number of their cavalry, we can calculate the number of their upcoming infantry. We in Dingzhou never thought that Zhang Aimin of Minzhou would attack at this time. We thought it would take a long time for him to recover. So, for a long time, we won't have reinforcements coming."

Tian Chong was startled, "Didn't General Wang Qinian have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Quanzhou?"

Xu Kexing shook his head and patted Tian Chong's shoulder, "Boy, you don't know, General Wang Qinian's troops have already moved to the Anfu Temple in Qinzhou in batches. Just today, the forwards have begun to attack Anfu Temple. Quanzhou, It's an empty shell now."

Tian Chong's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Xu Kexing smiled, "Look, are you scared too?"

Tian Chong argued: "General Xu, I'm not afraid, I'm just worried. How can we hold Qingyang?"

"That's the reason!" Xu Kexing said: "We must defend Qingyang until the victory of the Battle of Qinling Mountains is over, and until General Wang can free up his hands to help us. But look, our soldiers A little scared, right? Most of our soldiers are new recruits, and not many have experienced big battles. Therefore, I am going to kill the opponent's prestige and let the soldiers see the prestige of our Dingzhou people. Give them a long shot Morale."

"But, if General Xu stays outside, wouldn't the soldiers lose their morale even more?" Tian Chong said.

Xu Kexing sighed: "It's a dangerous move for the soldiers. If I really fall outside, I hope my blood can arouse the courage of the soldiers. If I die, you will take over the command of the entire city defense. Pay attention, Staring at Qian Duo, this kid, I always feel a little unreasonable."

"General Xu!" Tian Chong choked up and pulled Xu Kexing back, "General, let me go!"

Xu Kexing laughed, "You boy, you have been with me since you were begging for food. I don't know how much you have. You go out. It's really meat buns beating dogs. If you go, you will never return. I will go, and there is still [-]% left." The hope of coming back. As long as you hit the stone on time and shoot the arrow on time, don’t let me not die at the opponent’s place, but be dealt with by you.” Stretching out his hand to beat Tian Chong’s chest, he strode down the city go.

Groups of cavalry under the city galloped past the city in a show of power. The cavalry shouted and shot at the city with their bows and arrows from time to time, but the city was silent and there was no reaction at all.

It seemed that the defenders on the city were a little scared, and the cavalry below the city were even more ostentatious. Some even stopped by the moat, stood on their horses, opened their crotches, and peed into the river moat, and did it on the city from time to time. The same insulting gesture.

With a bang, the suspension bridge was lowered suddenly, and at the same time, the gate of the city was opened wide. Xu Kexing, holding a mace in his hand, led more than a hundred cavalry, galloping out of the city roaring like lightning.As soon as more than a hundred cavalrymen left the city, the suspension bridge was pulled up.

Xu Kexing screamed strangely, rode his horse and galloped wildly, swung the mace high in his hand, and an afterimage was drawn in the air. When he raised the stick and dropped it, the cavalryman who peed from the horse was like a paper pot, fluttering He flew up from the ground and fell into the river with a bang, splashing a huge splash and dousing the others all over.

Apparently, the Minzhou cavalry who were showing off their power outside the city did not expect that under such circumstances, their opponents would dare to go out of the city to fight. What they did not expect was that they were hit head-on in an instant, and more than a hundred people were swept out like wind and electricity. The cavalry swept past along the city wall. Xu Kexing waved his ruthless stick. Wherever he passed, the Minzhou cavalry who were fleeing in panic were knocked off their horses one by one.

The drums in the city are rumbling, and the sound of mining is thunderous.

Xu Kexing laughed loudly, held up the mace and hit the horse circle back. During this charge, he had already killed hundreds of meters along the moat.

"Go back!" Xu Kexing shouted.

With a cry, more than a hundred cavalrymen circled their horses and turned around, and came back again. On the way, they threw down the Minzhou cavalrymen who were killed by them in an instant.

Zhang Liang, who had just arrived, turned pale with anger, "It's useless." Two teams of cavalry jumped out with a wave of the whip, one team rushed towards Xu Kexing's cavalry team, and the other team rushed to the city gate, preparing to block his attack. back road.

"Xie Jinzhong from Minzhou!" The leader of a troop of cavalry rushing towards Xu Kexing shouted loudly as he stabbed straight at Xu Kexing with a spear in his hand.

"Thank you mother!" Xu Kexing pressed the top of Mount Tai, and hit the mace hard, with a bang, Xie Jinzhong's arms went numb, his whole body shook violently, the spear in his hand bent into an arc, Xu Kexing laughed loudly, and turned back With a drag, the barb of the mace hooked the barrel of the gun and grabbed it back forcefully.

Xie Jinzhong was willing to let the opponent snatch the gun away, and grabbed it back with his eyes wide open. Xu Kexing sneered, twisted his hand, and the mace beeped. The curved gun flew out of his hand.

"Take your life!" Xu Kexing roared angrily.With a bend and vibration of his arm, the mace popped out, Xie Jinzhong yelled, and fell on the horse. If he had won it quickly, the helmet was also taken away.All the souls of the dead took off, and the pen horses fled outward.

"Counsel!" Xu Kexing laughed and leaped past.

More than a hundred meters away from the city gate, there was already a mass of black cavalry pounced on the opposite side. Xu Kexing looked back at the cavalry who rushed out after him, sighed secretly, held up the mace, and drew three circles in the air, This is his signal to Tian Chong.

On the city, Tian Chong bit his lips tightly, and ordered loudly with a crying voice: "Stone throwing, covering shooting, eight-ox crossbow, partition, first-grade bow, partition!"

All the troops in the city were stunned, looking at Tian Chong, but they didn't move.

"Shoot!" Tian Chong shouted frantically.

With a sound of collapse, dozens of trebuchets were launched at the same time, covering the crowd fighting in the city at the same time, and the eight-ox crossbow passed through the crowd in front with a unique scream, shooting down the cavalrymen who were running, and shooting upwards into the sky. After the feather arrow flew to the highest point, it turned around and fell, cutting off the reinforcements rushing from behind the enemy.

No one expected that at the beginning of the scuffle between the two sides, the city would shoot covered stone bullets, but Xu Kexing and his troops were already prepared. When the howling sounded in the sky, they took off the shields beside the saddles at the same time, and pressed on. Covering himself tightly, he rode his horse forward at the same time.

The screams sounded continuously.

Zhang Liang's eyes widened. He never thought that the enemy would be so decisive, and he would do such a lose-lose move. He tightly grasped the saddle with both hands, and pursed his lips tightly.

After a round of stone bombs, the unprepared Minzhou cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Even Xu Kexing, who was prepared, had less than half of the troops left. After a quick dance, haha ​​laughed wildly and rode his horse towards the suspension bridge.

"Let the bridge go, let the bridge go." On the city, Tian Chong shouted in surprise, and the suspension bridge came down with a bang.Tsui Hark-xing rode up on his horse.

"Interval shooting, interval shooting!" Tian Chong shouted happily.

On the city, cheers thundered and flags were waved.
