The arrival of the Xijiang Rangers indeed aroused the fighting spirit of both sides. One side wants to defend the West Gate to the death so that the Xijiang Cavalry can enter the city smoothly, while the other side wants to capture the West Gate and lock the Xijiang Cavalry outside the city gate. The West City Gate seems to have suddenly become a stalemate on the battlefield between the two sides, but the West Xinjiang Rangers are no ordinary light cavalry. Their long-term nomadic life on the grassland has honed their riding and shooting skills. Although they were under the city wall for a while, They were unable to enter the city, but they quickly formed a dense crossbow formation under the organization of the officers. Although the freely displayed riding and archery skills were not as uniform as the arrow formation, this kind of diffusion had an impact on the people crowded on the city wall. The City Guards inflicted great damage.
The diffusion with a certain angle almost poured into the city guard soldiers who were crowded on the city wall. The gunmen who tried to squeeze the guards down with force were killed by the rangers under the city wall and fought hard on the city wall. Under the double constraints of the resisting Guards, the shooting angle seemed to be gradually extinguished, especially the shooting angles of the Rangers under the city wall. One shot and one wave, they slid through beautiful arcs in the air without any hindrance. covered the entire city wall. The soldiers of the city guard had to launch an attack bravely and at the same time, they had to hold up their shields to protect themselves from the rain of arrows coming from under the city wall. This kind of attack echelon was seriously restricted and affected, so much so that it made the already already Some of the Imperial Guards who couldn't hold up were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and the gate of the West City Gate was opened step by step in this seemingly stalemate.
Although I tried my best, I could only watch the gate being raised inch by inch. The Xijiang cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently outside the city, were already ready to go. They were just waiting for the moment when the thousand-jin gate was raised, that was the time for them to enter the city and show off their skills.
Bayin Zhuo is not as optimistic as his subordinates. Fighting in the city is not as easy as fighting in the field. The advantage of the cavalry lies in the impact and maneuverability brought by the war horses. Once you enter the city, this advantage will disappear. Facing the dense infantry formation, the advantage of the rangers is not the same. If it cannot be fully utilized, it will cause considerable losses to your own troops. However, Bayin Zhuo, who has been in the position of regimental commander for a certain period of time, is no longer the nomadic man who prided himself on fighting on the grasslands. He has learned that sometimes it is necessary to make certain sacrifices, regardless of the importance of the imperial capital. It can be known. Although Cui Shuai did not explicitly mention the accident in the Imperial Capital before leaving, the importance he attached to the situation in the Imperial Capital was clearly visible. This is also the reason why Bayin Zhuo risked giving up his mission and rushed to the front line of the Imperial Capital. Now he has left At this point. It is impossible to shrink back because of fear of sacrifice. This is not only an insult to a nomadic warrior, but also something that will never be allowed in the Western Xinjiang army.
Since entering the city is inevitable, we can only try to avoid the disadvantage of cavalry. Try to choose the main arterial streets to launch the attack. As long as the enemy is not massed into a dense infantry phalanx, this battle can still be fought. Bayinzhuo does not think that he can turn the tide, but his investment of 30,000 cavalry can at least help the ban. Bayin Zhuo hopes that he can buy time for the Guards side. The Western Xinjiang Army in Jinzhong and Luyang will not sit idly by, but they will definitely not come as fast as him. When the troops from Jinzhong and Luyang arrived, it was announced that the end of the city guard had come.
When the Thousand Jin Gate was finally raised, the roaring cavalry almost swarmed in. The nomadic cavalry who had already put away their crossbows and raised their swords suddenly completed the role change, from crossbowmen to assault. cavalry.
The entry of the Xijiang Rangers into the city was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the city guards. Yusuf, who had already seen the dawn of victory, was struck with stars in his eyes. The Westerners came so quickly that Yusuf almost despaired. However, when he learned that only cavalry and no other auxiliary infantry entered the city, Yusuf seemed to see it again. The last glimmer of hope. The cavalry cannot play a big role in a large city like the Imperial Capital. There are not many wide streets. Moreover, as long as they are arranged in a dense square formation, the role of the cavalry will be greatly limited. As long as they can control the four gates, these cavalry will be considered as entering. The city could not play much of a role.
It’s just that although Yusuf’s calculations were good enough, many things were not as simple as he imagined. Just like Li Wufeng did not expect that Tie Longping would let the city guards enter the imperial capital under such circumstances, Yusuf also did not Thinking that the city guards had turned into an out-of-control rabid dog after entering the city, biting everyone they saw, and even their own master could not make them act according to their own intentions.
Like streams of lava flowing out of a surging crater, the entire city guard almost no longer had a complete command system. Each division launched attacks in different directions according to their own intentions. At this time, Yusuf Only then did he realize that this army was completely out of his control at this time, and was just inertly advancing towards the orders he originally issued. Although the countless orders issued by Yusuf were completely conveyed to the commanders at the division level, the command It is too difficult for members of the army to make the troops at the regiment level obey orders. The city guards, who have been completely stunned by survival and killing, are almost completely advancing in the direction of the guards' steady retreat, except for In one direction, it is the First Division of the Imperial Guard that defends the central city, that is, the direction of the Imperial City. At this time, this First Division, which is even more orthodox in name than the First Division of the First Army, still plays a role. Its combat power is worth mentioning, and it stubbornly resists attacks from multiple directions without retreating, because it has no way to retreat, with the imperial city behind it. Once these hungry wolf-like city guards spread into the imperial city, That would really lead to a terrible disaster.
Bayin Zhuo couldn't believe his eyes. The city guards with no discipline or formation rushed up in front of him like this. It seemed that they thought they could squeeze the thousands of cavalry behind them out of the city. This is a godsend!
The sweeping rangers soon gave the city guards who were running around aimlessly a taste of the approaching cavalry. The sharp swords flew up almost in an instant, and countless heads and limbs were here. In an instant, they jumped up with splashes of scarlet, and at the same time, countless nomadic cavalry fell from their horses under the sharp spears of the city guards. This moment of contact almost aroused the madness of the Western Xinjiang cavalry, and followed closely. The second wave of impact didn't even take into account the life and death of the first wave of comrades. In this case, there was no way to care. The fire surged up wildly, and the unparalleled impact mixed with the waves that rolled up layers of silver. The wave of knives almost immediately left bloody messes on the street.
The rioters who have not gathered into a formation are undoubtedly living targets for sword practice in front of the organized rangers. Every time the cavalry raises their swords, they will always take away countless unwilling souls. However, they have been beaten by the continuous fighting and fighting. The dizzy city guard soldiers could no longer hear the officers' orders. They could only rely on their individual strength in vain to compete with the Western Xinjiang Rangers. This was obviously unfair, but fair things were almost never done. It has never appeared in a real war. Attacking the weak with the strong has always been a tactic used by the winner, and this time is no exception, although the Western Xinjiang Rangers also paid a considerable price for the restrictions on the streets.
The appearance of the West Border Rangers gave the Guards, who were gradually at a disadvantage, a boost once again. Another 10,000 Rangers promptly launched a surprise attack along the direction of Dongcheng District. The Rangers, who were divided into ten attack groups, almost avoided the attack. The small streets and alleys are specially used for raids on the main roads. This method of using impact force to kill the City Guards who have lost their organizational ability is indeed a perfect method. After rushing back and forth several times, there are no more bloody City Guards soldiers on a section of the street. There was almost nothing else visible on the corpse. The city guards had been stunned by the sudden attack of the cavalry. They didn't know how this cavalry could appear in the city, especially since the opponent's skilled horse control skills could still be used even on the streets. Rampage or even make a U-turn.
The situation has been reversed bit by bit. Although the disadvantage has not been completely restored, the current situation is completely different from the worst time. At least Ma Yuanwang can take a breath of peace of mind without worrying. The city guards will break through the defense line soon.
Song Tianxiong found that his voice was already a little hoarse. Although more than 300 civilian vehicles of various types were urgently requisitioned for 150 miles, plus dozens of transport vehicles prepared by the division, they could only go ahead. The soldiers from the two regiments went out first, discarding everything they should have brought. Except for weapons and armor, everything was discarded under Song Tianxiong's order. It was not easy to catch up with such a wonderful drama. If it really happened If he missed it, Song Tianxiong would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. He left the rear team to the logistics director Jing Li. Song Tianxiong and his deputy Lu Ping, who refused to stay in the rear team, just walked out of Jinzhong City in one breath with his eyes wide open. Go straight to the west gate of the imperial capital.
The black smoke in the sky has filled the entire imperial city. Song Tianxiong's heart sank slightly. Unlike Bayin Zhuo, he understood his master's thoughts very thoroughly. His Highness the King of Qin knew every plant and tree in this city. They all have deep feelings, even beyond the feelings of their hometown. If the historical civilization crystallization in the imperial capital is really damaged in this war, even if Yusuf died ten times, it would not be enough to make up for it. Its fault.
