Chapter 185 Crisis 4
Chen Hai's strategy was actually not wrong, but he did not expect that Yesen's purpose was not just Xuanfu, but another goal was Datong. Datong, like Xuanfu, is also the gateway of the Ming Dynasty.
Cavalry was very precious to the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty did not produce much horses, and the service period of a war horse was very short. Relatively speaking, war horses were consumed quickly in the army.
Because Xuanfu was the gateway of the Ming Dynasty, in order to fight against the cavalry of Wasai, 30,000 were deployed here. Now because it was a siege, the eyes have now evolved into a war of attrition. Chen Hai naturally did not want to waste the cavalry. Good steel is used on good blades. Many people know this sentence.
Seeing Chen Hai pounced on him again, Liu Chenglong cursed in his heart, then pulled a running soldier and asked, "How many enemies are there?"
When the soldier saw that the person who was asking was a general, he immediately said, "I don't know about the general, but there are a lot of people, at least hundreds of thousands of people!"
"Hundreds of thousands!"
Liu Chenglong couldn't help but feel cold, and his face suddenly turned pale. When he returned to his country, he turned his eyes to the city and saw soldiers full of thorns everywhere. As the soldier said, there were hundreds of thousands of people.
Seeing such a big gap, Liu Chenglong couldn't help but think about it. The soldiers of the thorns were hundreds of thousands, while the Xuanfu garrison was only 100,000, with a difference of 200,000 troops. Moreover, the reinforcements from Datong were still unknown when they could come. Looking at the thorns, it was clearly the style that would not defeat the Xuanfu.
Thinking of this, Liu Chenglong suddenly became scared and hurriedly went down the city tower. Originally, now that Ximen was attacked, the main general should go to Ximen to defend immediately, but Liu Chenglong ran to his home, with his simple purpose, that is, to escape. Anyway, it is a matter of time before the Xuanfu was broken. It is better to escape than to die in battle. At the same time, these generals who have reached a high position by flattering will die in the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty?
Of course, when he was running towards his home, he also considered how to clear his crime. It was a serious crime to escape at the last minute, not to mention that he was a general, and he wanted to behead him. It took less time to think of Chen Hai. Anyway, this person would survive and die with the Xuanfu, and no one knew that the dead would be punished.
Chen Hai did not expect this. After leading the soldiers to slowly control the city tower, there was also a drum sound of emergency from the Ximen gate. This means that if Ximen did not support Ximen, it would be a matter of time before the Ximen city was broken. So he did not hesitate and ordered all the cavalry to set off, go out from the South Gate, take the initiative to rescue Ximen. As long as there is enough time, the soldiers can be transferred to Ximen. The purpose of the cavalry now is to buy enough time for Ximen.
After receiving the order, the cavalry immediately left the south gate and rode their horses towards the Ximen. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards the thorns that were attacking Ximen like a sharp sword.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves also reached Yexian's ears. He turned his head slightly and asked, "Has the Ming army's cavalry left the city?"
The general next to him immediately said, "Master Qi reported to the Ma Ma just now that about 30,000 cavalrymen in Xuanfu have all left the city to rescue Ximen!"
"good!"
He couldn't help but applaud and immediately said, "Tell me the order immediately, and I must leave these 30,000 cavalrymen outside the city, and I am not allowed to put one back."
The general immediately bowed his hand and went down to convey the order. The sound of drums suddenly rang through the entire battlefield again.
The collection of intelligence is related to the victory or defeat of the war. Since Tutuo Wuhua is the Grand Tuoshi of Wastuo, of course he also knows this. In the past six months, in addition to preparation, he also began to investigate the Ming army's city defense and plan the route of attack. Although the military camp is free from idlers, it is not difficult to collect many garrisons. The reason why Yesen asked Tutuo Wuhua to step up the attack was to lure out the cavalry in the city. The two city gates stepped up the offensive so that the soldiers guarding the city could not be spared. To rescue, the best way is to send out cavalry and fight unexpectedly.
Obviously, the situation in front of him was following Yesen's plan. As for the people who lost, Yesen didn't care much. War would kill people, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
At Ximen, Tuotuo Wuhua was riding on the horse, holding a huge mace in his hand. There were a lot of brown things on the black mace, and the rain dripping from it also changed color. Behind him was a cavalry, standing quietly in the rain waiting, occasionally the neighing of war horses came from the camp.
In front of them was the west gate of Xuanfu. Countless thorn soldiers were rushing up the city wall in batches, yelling loudly in their mouths, as if this could eliminate their fear in their hearts. After all, as long as people are afraid of war, people are afraid of death. Even if they are excited now, they are still afraid of death.
"Boom!"
A huge sound came from the south, and then tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards the West Gate. Under the powerful offensive of these cavalry, the tile-sting infantry were like a piece of rotten wood, and were quickly cut off from the halfway, and the offensive against the West Gate suddenly relaxed. When the city guards on the West Gate saw reinforcements coming, their morale was greatly boosted, and they quickly drove the tile-sting soldiers who had already climbed the city wall off the city wall.
"General, are we going to attack?"
A general next to Tuotuo Wuhua asked, the situation in front of him is not optimistic now. Under the attack of the cavalry, the infantry had no counterattack power at all, and many soldiers had already begun to flee. In fact, what scares the cavalry most is his powerful impact power and the galloping aura of thousands of horses. Many people were afraid of it after seeing it.
Tuotuo Wuhua frowned very much. Although the infantry were not tribes, they were also soldiers of Wats. Seeing that they were almost called unilateral killing, how could it be that they were not heartbroken? However, if Yesen's order did not come, he did not dare to act rashly.
The Ming army, who was killing, did not realize that they were in the greatest crisis. Killing those soldiers who were not able to fight back was exciting, but their formation was also disrupted, and the original sharp knife was no longer busy.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..."
The long-awaited war drum finally sounded again. Tuotuo Wuhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The mace in his hand raised and roared: "Kill!"
Then he shook the reins hard and rushed towards the Ming army's cavalry first.
Countless cavalry shouted in unison, and even behind Tutuo Wuhua. In terms of the number of wheels, they had a total of 50,000 people. In order to eliminate the 30,000 cavalry of the Ming army, they also paid enough capital.
The rain in the sky became even more urgent, and the rumbling thunder began to echo in the sky. Compared to the rumbling horse hooves, there was still a shout of killing. The thunder sounded so weak for the first time.
A large number of cavalrymen appeared on the flanks of the Ming army, which surprised countless Ming troops. However, while they were surprised, they did not retreat at all. Thirty thousand people circled a big circle and met. Now, for them, there was no way out, only one battle.
The Ming army's mentality was to fight back and die, while the tulle cavalry was as powerful as rainbows, just like two weapons, sparks burst out at the moment of collision.
In terms of battle, the battles that the cavalry only saw were more intense and cruel. Screams, shouts, horse neighing, and thunder became the only melody on the battlefield. Fame, fortune, glory and wealth became the smoke of the past for a moment. Now, the only thing they were thinking about was how to kill the enemy and live, and their only way out was to die. If they were unwilling to give up before they died in time, they would have no choice. On the battlefield, no one could dominate their own destiny.
The addition of cavalry has relieved the soldiers on the city wall of Ximen. After repelling the thorn soldiers who were upstairs, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the battlefield where they were fighting. The scene in front of them made them so shocking and anxious. Most of them have only been in the past few years and the border has been relatively calm in recent years. They also have a destiny opportunity to go to the battlefield. Many of them are looking forward to going to the battlefield, because for an ordinary soldier, military merit is their only way out for promotion. In their fantasy, this battlefield is always unilateral killing. The enemy is always as weak as a baby, and the weapons in the enemy's hands are always toys that cannot kill people. But now they know that this battlefield is always beyond the cruelty of anyone's imagination, and some of them always close their eyes with their fantasies.
Now, 30,000 cavalry were surrounded by the cavalry of the tibia. Under the attack of the tibia, the number of people gradually decreased. Although the soldiers on the city wall had bows and arrows, they were not at all at this level. Moreover, now that the two armies are fighting in a melee and can shoot in time, they are afraid of hurting friendly forces.
In desperation, many people turned their heads and stopped watching the cruel scene below, but the endless screams hit their ears without mercy.
