Chapter 530 Anger
Song Jingang looked at the rugs of the Turkic army outside the city with serious eyes.

The scene of his wife committing suicide was vividly remembered, thinking of Liu Wuzhou's kindness and Yuan Junzhang's exclusion and suppression, he couldn't help but burst into anger.

Could it be that Song Jingang had spent his entire life as a bowman in the Jixian county government, catching bandits all day long, maintaining law and order, and acting according to the looks of the police?

No!He Song Jingang was shrouded in horse leather all his life, and his final belonging was on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Song Jingang immediately bowed to Li Chongjiu and said, "I am willing to follow King Zhao!"

There are no bold words, but Li Chongjiu can tell that these are simple words.He laughed loudly and said: "A former captain of your army, Colonel Song, in your opinion, how should we face the Turkic army outside the city?"

Song Jingang said: "From a certain point of view, our army has no chance of winning if we go out of the city to fight the Turks. If we want to send troops from the two towns of Huaihuang and Yuyi to block the main force of the Turks in the fortress, it will be even more mediocre." Experience. With Zhao’s current strength, it is necessary to encircle 15 Turkic people. It is like making dumplings. The skin is too thin, but the meat is too much, and the dumplings will definitely fall apart in a pot.”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "It makes sense."

Song Jingang said: "At present, if our army wants to defend the city of Youjing, we must avoid strong attacks. You must know that the most elite Turkic cavalry is attached. The nine surnames of Zhaowu, attached to the Han people in the north, are the elite soldiers selected from the various tribes of Tie Le, and the last are the soldiers who control the strings, and they are the cavalrymen attached to the Turkic tribes."

Zhang Xuansu said: "Lieutenant Song and I agree with each other. If our army wants to defend Youjing, we must show the power of our army to the Turks. It is impossible for Chu Luo to go his own way. If the price of attacking Youjing is too high, he agrees." , the elders of the various tribes will not agree, if we defeat a part of the Turkic army outside the city, let the Turks see how powerful our army is, and then negotiate peace with them, it will be effective."

Song Jingang said: "The words are good, but defeating the control string like a Turkic vassal can't hurt the Turkic people, and the vassal is under the command of Chuluo Khan, with tens of thousands of troops guarding it, so it can't be easily defeated, so I at least want to Only by defeating Zhejie in the Turkic army can the Turkic people fear the strength of our army."

Li Chongjiu listened to what Zhang Xuansu and Song Jingang said, and he knew it in his heart.

At this moment, one of the generals reported: "Your Majesty, the Turkic army is setting up formations in the west of the city, and it seems that they are going to attack the city! And there are still many people in custody, and it seems that they are going to drive the people to attack the city!"

When Li Chongjiu came to the west of the city, the Zhao army was busy on the west wall of the city. The civilian clothes guarding the city bed and crossbow were all uncovered. The soldiers of the Zhao army brought stacks of iron feather arrowheads from the arsenal and piled them on the city wall at random.

The crossbowmen of the Zhao army guarding the city climbed to the city one after another.On the crenel, Zhao Jun's crossbowmen were densely covered.

The west gate of the city was also opened, and [-] infantrymen marched into the sheep and horse wall under the city wall to garrison.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was well-trained, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but nodded, but when he heard the sound of bull horns in the distance, the Turkic army came out of the camp.But seeing the Turkic cavalry sweeping in like dark clouds, the Turkic people had already erected several pontoon bridges with sheepskin rafts on the Wuding River in the west of the city.

The Turkic cavalry drove the imprisoned Han people down the city from the pontoon bridge, obviously using the people as cannon fodder for the first round of attacking the city.

Song Jingang said to Li Chongjiu: "My lord, this is the Zhejie in Turkic, and it is Hu Jun who lives in the medicine to kill Shuijie."

"What is Jiehu Jun?"

Song Jingang said: "The last general is not too clear about it. Jiehu is like a different species of Huns. The men have deep eyes, high noses and beards. They are cruel by nature, and they are very brave and good at fighting."

Seeing that the Jiehu army drove the Han people forward, and the Han people walked a little slower, the Jiehu army immediately took up their long knives and chopped them down. Some Jiehu cavalry even tied the Han children behind their horses and dragged them galloping.

As Song Jingang said, Jiehu people are really cruel by nature.

Zhang Xuansu said: "The Jiehu army relies on its superiority in strength, so it wants to drive the people to attack the city and destroy our army's fortifications. If our army dare not go out of the city to fight, it will damage our army's morale. But I don't know that our army is planning to attack .”

Song Jingang said: "My Majesty, please give me three hundred armored soldiers and open the city gates to fight!"

Li Chongjiu nodded when he saw it, and said, "Just as you say!"

At that moment, Song Jingang led three hundred soldiers in armor to the city gate. Song Jingang strode forward with a red scarf on his head and a Mo knife in his hand.

Three hundred armored and heavily armored soldiers entered the urn city one by one, and the city gate behind them was slowly closed.

Song Jingang shouted: "Raise the shield and spread the fish scale array!"

"promise!"

The three hundred soldiers agreed at the same time, raised their big shield in one hand and the sword in the other, and moved forward together.

The front and back of the fish scale array are dense, and there are gaps between soldiers, which can allow one person to pass through.

Song Jingang heard shouts from outside the city.

"Help!"

"Don't kill my child!"

The pleadings of the expelled Han people could be heard through a city gate, and the three hundred soldiers of the Zhao army were all indignant.

At this time, the red flag on the top of the city was unfurled and waved three times!

One said loudly: "Open the city gate!"

Dozens of Zhao soldiers behind the current city gate moved the gate knife cart from behind the gate and blocked the gate stone.Captain Zhao Jun, who was guarding the city, clasped his fists silently and saluted Song Jingang, saying: "General, fight to the death for me, kill a few more Turkic dogs!"
"Kill!" Zhao Jun soldiers said together.

Song Jingang accepted the gift silently, and then the city gate slowly opened.

Song Jingang swung the Mo knife forward, and the three hundred Zhao Jun slapped the knife into a round shield as a rhythm, advancing step by step.

As soon as the city gate came out, the field of vision suddenly widened.

But outside the trenches, the helpless faces of the Han people were driven forward by the Jiehu cavalry to fill the trenches.

Song Jingang yelled: "Outside the city are the people of our country, the parents of my country, who would accompany me to save them!"

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

Zhao Jun shouted together.

Song Jingang raised his saber forward, but heard the clanging of armor.

Zhao Jun's soldiers went out of the city gate.But the Han people in front of them, seeing the city gate opened wide, immediately flocked in.

Under the deliberate drive of the Jiehu army, the Han people piled together and rushed towards the gate of the city.

"Climb down!"

But listen to the screams from the top of the city!
"Climb down!"

Zhao Jun's soldiers shouted together in Chinese.

After two shouts, the people rushed forward one after another, and the Han people in the rear followed suit and climbed down, but some who ran fast couldn't hold back their feet and trampled on the predecessors.

But at this time, Zhao Jun's crossbowmen behind the sheep and horse wall shot forward a row of arrows like a storm!
The Jiehu cavalry who didn't understand the meaning of climbing down, and the Han people who still didn't stop and trampled on their compatriots, suddenly seemed to be sifted through an iron rake.

Under a round of sharp arrows, within a hundred steps of the city gate, there was no one standing!

An order from the top of the city: "All the people hide under the wall of sheep and horses and squat down with their heads hugged, otherwise the bows and crossbows will have no eyes!"

After hearing this, the common people immediately left the Jiehu cavalry behind them, and ran towards the wall of sheep and horses together.

The Jiehu cavalry were furious and began to draw their knives to kill the nearby Han people, but at this time the crossbowmen on the Zhao Jun city wall began to snipe!
As if a roll call, the Jiehu cavalry soldiers sitting high on their horses were shot down one after another.

The Jiehu cavalry soldiers were furious, and when they saw Zhao Jun's city gate opened wide, they immediately vented their anger on Zhao Jun who was leaving the city.

"kill!"

The Jiehu cavalry gathered together and charged at the Zhao army at the city gate.

At this time, Song Jingang had commanded his men and horses to go out of the city gate and set up a circular formation.The people who were driven to attack the city flocked into the city from both sides of the circle.The Jiehu cavalry also wanted to break through Song Jingang's [-]-step phalanx, and rushed straight into the city gate to seize the west gate.

Thousands of Jiehu cavalry began to charge Song Jingang's shield crazily.

This is an impact of steel and flesh!

The Jiehu cavalry and the armored Zhao army's heavy infantry were fighting together, the horses neighed, and the soldiers roared.

The scene of the Jiehu cavalry rushing into the shield formation was imprinted on the eyes of the people entering the city. They were all tearful at the moment, watching their soldiers fight to the death with the Jiehu cavalry in order to save them from entering the city.

When Li Chongjiu saw the scene, he shouted: "Open the cave!"

The so-called hole wall is the secret door on the city wall except the city gate. Many city walls with sheep and horse walls will have hole walls for soldiers inside the sheep and horse wall to enter and exit the city.

But as soon as the hole wall was opened, Zhao Jun's reserve soldiers poured into the sheep and horse wall.

boom!
A big drum was beating at the top of the city.

The rumble of drums represented the blood and courage of the Zhao people.

Li Chongjiu drew out his long sword on the city wall and shouted to all sides: "The powerful enemy Qiu Kou is right in front of you, why don't you fight with me, a good man!"

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhao army, both above and below the city, shouted in unison.

Behind the sheep and horse wall, the soldiers of the Zhao army jumped over the five-foot-high sheep and horse wall. Five and ten people quickly formed an formation under the city, ready to attack the Jiehu cavalry and support Song Jingang's three hundred infantry.

Seeing this scene, the Jiehu cavalry soldiers on both sides gave up their attack on the city gate and charged towards Zhao Jun outside the sheep and horse wall!
puff!
In order to cover the Zhao army who was forming an array below the city, the Zhao army fired a volley of crossbows above the city wall, stretching the arms, stepping on the crossbow, opening the waist, three-arrow crossbow, and bed crossbow, all firing together at the Jiehu cavalry.

Zhao Jun's unparalleled crossbow array well protected the Zhao Jun infantry who were forming formation under the sheep and horse wall, and killed a large number of Jiehu cavalry.

Li Chongjiu looked from the top of the city, the Zhao army's infantry phalanx moved forward, and the Jiehu cavalry also rushed desperately.

The Jiehu cavalry swung their spears, and their maces hit Zhao Jun's shield formation with bang bang!

There were not only Jiehu cavalrymen killed by Zhao Jun's spears, but also soldiers of Zhao Jun who were killed by Jiehu cavalry's arrows.

Woo!
It turns out that the horn is sounding!

Li Chongjiu looked into the distance, but saw the wind blowing on the other side of the Wuding River.

The Turkic cavalry swarmed like mountains and seas, and the golden wolf banner of Chu Luo Khan also appeared in the formation of the Turkic cavalry on the other side of the Wuding River.

"My lord! The Turkic army has arrived, do you order to stop the pursuit!" Xue Wan said.

"No, if Chu Luo wants to fight, we will fight to the end with him," Li Chongjiu said resolutely, "Send the order, and the army will leave the city! I have to go into battle myself!"

Facing the strength of the Turkic cavalry, Zhao Jun's drums kept beating, but it was even more powerful!
After all the Han people retreated into the city, the [-] fresh troops of the Zhao army who had been waiting in the west of the city came out from the west gate!
