Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 717
Liu Xuan never dreamed that he would swim up to the enemy.From the perspective of the military that is accustomed to the southern weather, this is simply impossible.

As soon as this group of infantry rushed up, headed by Liu Wu, they launched a fierce counterattack.

The infantry of the Song army was very effective against the heavy cavalry, but they were caught off guard when they were rushed by this group of infantry.These wet water figures, when they jumped up, their hands and feet were a little numb, so they needed to rush and beat to increase their heat.

The infantrymen who were holding the long hooks around to hook the horse's legs panicked, and of course their movements were not so quick.It was this confusion that immediately gave the heavy cavalry a chance to breathe.As soon as Wang Kui saw Liu Wu, he let out a loud roar, and immediately cheered up, and Liu Wu also let out a long roar, which was counted as a response.The heavy cavalry formed a formation again, advanced violently, and were surrounded in the middle. The trebuchet soldiers, who had no use for them, finally had a chance to show their skills.The two wings fought together, and the heavy cavalry had no worries, and their power was finally displayed.

It was an oppressive force. The infantry of the Song Army could no longer resist such a formation, just like the kidnappers of the Jin Army before, they quickly retreated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Xuan was about to order to withdraw his troops, but the gap to the west had been completely torn open, and trebuchets had already begun to attack the crossbowmen on the city wall in dense numbers.The crossbowmen had no time to take care of themselves for a while, and could no longer take care of the defense to the west.

How could the parachutist on the other side miss this urgent opportunity?With an order, the army rushed to the land.This time, the speed is much faster.

The crossbowmen wanted to take care of both, but they couldn't do it at all. Just as a group of people rushed up, the parachutist's brigade had already rushed under the city gate.The infantry of the Song Army was even more irresistible. As soon as the city gate was opened, they quickly retreated back.

In the rush, there were signs of defeat.Where did the parachutist allow them to retreat?He shouted "Kill", and the leading bannermen held a huge banner with the word "Fly". The soldiers charged forward like a tide,

Liu Xuan watched with fear from the top of the city, it was a formation he had never seen before.The leader was none other than the parachutist, riding on a tall horse and wielding a spear himself. This time, he was holding his most convenient weapon.

In front of him, there is a team advancing in a wall-like slope formation. This team is very different from the heavy cavalry, equipped with spears and swords, but wearing extremely light armor, arranged in eight rows. A dense formation of up to twenty columns deep.The flanks were covered by cavalry, and light infantry armed with bows and iron spears moved in front of the formation.

In this way, the formation is just divided into a horizontal team composed of three parts: the main group and the left and right wings.This formation is a team formation, and the infantry and cavalry are mixed in each team, which can better cover each other and attack the opponent's flank.Using this formation, you can make a breakthrough in the center, throw the elite troops to the two wings, and after the two wings are successful, they can encircle the enemy's rear.This battle formation is most suitable for siege.It is a formation that mobilizes the most arms and has the strongest coordinated operations.

The biggest disadvantage of the Song army has always been that the civil servants are used to control the generals, and the civil servants are required to issue orders to the generals. In this way, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. Since then, there has never been a precedent for a military general to successfully rebel.Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for a general to successfully mobilize multiple arms to fight in unison.

After Zhao Deji went to the south, although he changed his situation somewhat, but after he killed Yue Pengju, he signed the Song-Jin Peace Treaty with the Jin Army, and after so many years, there was no major war. Therefore, the elimination of generals , and guard against it.

Although Liu Xuan still has some reputation, but compared with his elder brother, how far is he different from his elder brother?If you want to cooperate with all kinds of arms, you will not be able to do it handy. You just watched the parachutist come over.

All of a sudden, the banners were flying, it was magnificent and overwhelming, and it was the sound of their advancement: "Kill, kill, kill..."

This killing sound is more than earth-shattering!
The entire Sijiao Town was almost trembling, and everyone's feet seemed to be shaking.The soldiers and civilians in the city could no longer hold their breath.Liu Xuan stood on the city wall, sweating all over his head.There is an army of [-] hoarded here, which is Zhao Deji's last line of defense. After the town of Sijiao is over, Zhao Deji is almost finished.

As for Lin'an, its topography is higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast, and the difference is huge.The main peak of the western mountains and the low-lying areas in the east have an altitude difference of 2000 meters. Although the northwest and southwest are mountainous, the main urban area is in the middle of the southeast and relatively low plains. defensive zone.Therefore, when the 5000 Jin army went south, they could burn and kill along the Yangzhou area unimpeded, so that the "Spring Breeze Ten Miles of Yangzhou Road" that was once brilliant in the Song Dynasty became a desolate and desolate place.

At this time, the enemy had already approached the city. Liu Xuan bit his head. He hated the parachutist very much. It was the parachutist's plan to make a divorce. Zhao Deji killed his brother Liu Qi by mistake. At this time, he was eager to take revenge. The general attacked, but he was helpless.

A guard rushed up: "General, it's not good, the parachutist is attacking the city..."

All I could hear was the overwhelming sound of siege outside, the sound of fighting, and the earth-shattering rumbling sound of the trebuchet rolling up huge stones and constantly attacking the city gate...

Seeing this, a soldier shouted in shock: "My God, the city gate is about to be broken..."

This cry shook the army's morale even more, and the situation was chaotic. Liu Xuan gritted his teeth, swayed his heart, and swung his knife to kill the screaming soldier. A battle to the death may not be lost to the parachutist, whoever dares to shake the morale of the army, this is his fate..."

The soldier's head rolled on the ground, his eyes were wide open, and the ground was covered with blood.

Under Liu Xuan's furious roar, everyone was finally shocked, and no one would dare to retreat from the battle.Liu Xuan roared: "The archers cover, the second team will fight..."

Another group of archers went up to the city gate, and Liu Xuan personally led a group of troops, and they came down in a hurry.

At this time, the ladder on the city gate has been erected, and many soldiers are already climbing the city.That kind of big cloud ladder with four sides is erected layer by layer, surrounded by soldiers holding shields as cover, while other armored soldiers climbed up layer by layer.

Seeing that they couldn't stop them, the archers on the city took flints, red-hot missiles, and threw them down like locusts. The entire Surabaya town was engulfed in flames, and the soldiers who attacked the city were also hindered and slowed down... …

This battle started from dawn to dusk, the winter weather was short and the sky had already dimmed.Hua Rong and King Qin stood on the high ground to the west, watching this terrible battle.

Liu Xuan's team was more numerous than imagined, and they came out endlessly.At one hour and three quarters, the sky is dark and the ground is dark, how can we tell the winner?

With the wind blowing against the fire, there are densely packed corpses on the top and bottom of the city wall, those of the Song army, those of our own army... human life is no longer life, but a terrible mechanized fight with each other. Anyone forgets that they were originally flesh and blood body...

The two have already experienced many such battles in their lives, which is not surprising. However, Hua Rong is still excited because she has discovered that under the overwhelming push of the heavy cavalry, the soldiers have been able to take the big guns. The logs, in groups of 100 each, forming five teams, were hitting the city gates.

Once the city gate is opened, it means that the gate of Lin'an has been opened more than half.At this moment, she suddenly thought of a question, where is Zhao Deji?According to his temperament, he will wait for defense in Lin'an City?When the Jin army besieged Bianjing, Song Huizong fled hastily. However, before he escaped too far, he returned and made peace blindly. In the end, both father and son were arrested.

And Zhao Deji was quick to see an opportunity back then, and ran away as if flying.It's ridiculous, at first I thought he was going out to rescue his father and brother.

This time, it's finally his turn to be trapped in the city. Will he stick to it like a father and brother, or has he already greased his feet and slipped away?
She suddenly felt a little parched, turned her face to the side, but saw that King Qin beside him was also concentrating on watching the fierce battle in front of him.

At this time, all concerns about the children and emotional entanglements were thrown out of the sky, and no one, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, could not witness such a scene of war without feeling excited.

Even Lu Wenlong, who had already put on his armor, was incorporated into Liu Wu's camp, and started the charge together.

King Qin just stared at the direction of Liu Wu and his son, watching how they rushed left and right in the camp, invincible.He suddenly became excited: "Girl, before dark, the city gate is about to be smashed open..."

Hua Rong was also very excited, but before she had time to answer, she saw that the top of the city was suddenly dark, and a group of dark crossbowmen came up again, and the leader was Liu Xuan, who personally drew his bow and shot arrows.Under his encouragement, Song Jun suddenly became imposing like a rainbow, and rows of arrows flew down like raindrops.

The ladder for attacking the city could no longer move. Some soldiers were unable to dodge in time. They were hit by arrows and fell down. The clothes on their bodies caught fire and spread on the ground. The rescued soldiers had no time to dodge. Chaos immediately appeared in the camp below the city. .

Seeing this, the Song army became even more imposing. Liu Xuan climbed up and raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone work hard to kill the rebels. After this battle, His Majesty will reward you a lot... Paralympic general, you traitor, you must die!" ..."

But hearing the word "traitor", the parachutist's anger completely broke out.He was riding on a horse, with a team of personal guards around him.At this time, seeing Liu Xuan condescending, with a proud face, he swung his body, took a long spear and swept towards him, shouting: "The trebuchet..."

At this time, the logistics soldiers in the west had already brought in catapults in an endless stream.

The parachutist jumped off his horse and pulled the largest trebuchet in the center himself. It was an improved high-stakes machine. The core technology of tendon noose was learned from a siege experience in the Western Regions when he was in the desert. .In particular, the lever arm of the large projectile that he personally operated was composed of several wooden poles and thick and long tendons that were combined in the longitudinal direction, and then tied into a circle with wider strips of raw animal hide. Once it is done, it will be tight and hard, indomitable, just like a modern metal shell.
