If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos. Duduo from Shangqiu is still hesitating whether to evacuate.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops led by Su Jin, Guo Yunlong, Hu Shouliang, and Niu Wanchuan rushed towards them, bringing with them billows of yellow dust.
The distance of eighty miles is nothing to the cavalry, it only takes one hour.
Tan Tai's men retreated into the city embankment of Shangqiu. Tens of thousands of Qin troops were already approaching the city. Black flags and black armor were like a huge black cloud pressing towards Shangqiu. They were so majestic that they were about to crush the city.
Shangqiu City is surrounded by an earthen embankment that protects the city, with a circumference of 20 miles, a base width of seven feet, a top width of two feet and five feet, and a height of two feet, which is also called the outer outline. The outer shell not only prevents floods from the Yellow River, but also plays a strong military defense role. There are two gates built on each side, making a total of eight gates.
When Su Jin's army arrived, they were not in a hurry to attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses blocked the outside of the eight outer cities. Then Su Jin ordered the trees to be cut down, and the Qin army moved quickly. Huge logs were cut down one by one, and made into rows of horse-repelling stakes, which were quickly placed outside all the city gates;
The purpose of doing this is obvious, which is to prevent the Dodo army from counterattacking out of the city.
By this time, even if Duduo wanted to evacuate Shangqiu, it was not that easy. Ye Chenlue, who was sent out to dig embankments, still had no news, let alone the arrival of floods.
The "reflecting" Duduo was very clear-headed at the moment. He had realized that he was the one who sent his army into the Jedi.
It would be great if Ye Chenlue could successfully dig the embankment. If he couldn't, tens of thousands of his troops would be trapped in Shangqiu City waiting to die. He could no longer place his hope on Ye Chenlue.
After thinking about this, Duduo decided to break out immediately before Meng Ke's infantry arrived.
But he gave it to his generals. But it is not an order to break out, because the so-called breakout means to escape. Now the army's morale is slack. Once the order is given to escape, the army will easily collapse under the fierce attack of the Qin army.
Therefore, Dodo feels that the wise approach now is to advance before retreating.
He originally had an army of 50,000, but Tianlu has lost about 5,000 in these days, leaving 45,000 troops. Among them, there are 10,000 infantrymen, mainly Zuo Mengeng's old subordinates. The rest were cavalry.
Duduo passed down the order, the infantry stayed behind, and all the cavalry attacked, trying to defeat Su Jin's more than 30,000 cavalry before Meng Ke's follow-up army arrived.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. In order to boost morale, Duduo offered a high reward and beheaded one level. Reward two taels of silver.
Time was running out, and under the command of Duduo, the 35,000-strong army quickly moved to the outer perimeter and pointed at the west gate. For a while, people roared and horses neighed, and there was a commotion.
On the west gate of the outer wall, two artillery pieces roared first, filling the air with gunpowder smoke. Flames gushed out, and roaring shells pounded outside the city. The Qin army blocked outside the west gate had to temporarily withdraw a few miles away.
Ning Yuan himself happened to be outside the west gate and saw the Qing army firing. He couldn't help but frown secretly, Duduo was trying to break out of the encirclement! His men and horses had just run for eighty miles and were very tired. At this time, Duduo's breakthrough was very disadvantageous to him, but the reality did not allow him to think too much. In any case, Duduo must be blocked in Shangqiu City. This was what Meng Ke gave him death order.
The roar of the Qin army's war drums shook the world, and tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shouted in unison to boost their morale. The sound waves hit Shangqiu City like a wave, eclipsing the sound of artillery fire at the top of the city.
Amidst the sound of trumpets, the west gate opened wide, and five hundred men and horses led by Niu Luzhang Jingluowei rushed out first. They were as powerful as a mountain, as fast as the wind, and like a torrent from a sluice. Under the cover of artillery fire at the top of the city, the horse-rejecting stakes outside the city were quickly cleared.
In the end, war will always be fought with iron and blood. No matter you are a coward or a hero, you have no chance to look back in the huge wave. You can only move forward, and then move forward. Whoever moves a little slower will be caught by the shocking wave. submerged.
Looking at the Qing troops swarming out, Su Jin pointed his flag, thousands of troops roared, and thousands of tigers roared. Niu Wanchuan led a thousand cavalry out of the formation and ran away.
The iron hooves shocked the city, and the sword reflected the frost and snow. Wind and clouds rolled over the ground, and the air blew into the moon.
"kill!"
There are no polite greetings, no nonsense shouted before the battle, the shocking roar is the most direct expression: you die or I live!
This is war, with golden drums shaking the sky, trumpets reverberating, the mountains rustling, and the forests falling, and suddenly thousands of horses galloping and banging; like waves, night terrors, and sudden storms. Clang, clang, gold and iron are ringing... .
Peng! The two armies were as fast as flint and lightning, and they collided with each other without retreating. The war horses neighed sadly, shouting like a tide, lightning and lightning intertwined, and blood sprayed out. The man who fell from the horse screamed and was instantly trampled into a human shape by countless iron hooves. Locust-like arrows shot into the human flesh. The injured horse stood upright, raising its hooves and kicking; the host and the guest fought against each other, fighting to the death. The sky is full of yellow dust, the ground is filled with blood, and the bloody wind and rain are endless.
Niu Wanchuan was holding a pair of huge meteor hammers, dancing like the wind, and bang! A Qing army leader in front of him was hit hard by a meteor hammer. His desperate screams stopped abruptly. His whole head and helmet were smashed together. His brains were shot together, and his blood and flesh flew everywhere. It was so tragic that the Qing soldiers nearby were frightened. De looked pale, screamed and ran away.
Niu Wanchuan roared like thunder, charging into thousands of troops and horses, as if entering a deserted place. Among the generals of the Qin army, in terms of martial arts and fierce style, Niu Wanchuan was definitely among the top three.
The soldiers of the Qin army followed behind him, like a huge wedge, wedged hard into the Qing army's formation. The Qing army was like a big wave plowed by a giant ship, rolling to both sides, their flags fell to the ground, and their horses stumbled. The screams were endless.
Duduo saw at the west gate that this general of the Qin army was so brave. A pair of meteor hammers were connected with iron chains. When they danced, the wind and clouds changed color. Occasionally, a hammer would fly out with the force of thunder, destroying the heads of people and horses, or knocking people over. Have to fly upside down and off the saddle.
Two miles away, Duduo could still feel the murderous aura coming towards his face, and one can imagine how horrified the Qing soldiers who met him were.
Among the original generals of the Qing army, perhaps only Qi Bai, known as the "No. 1 Warrior in Manchuria", could rival him.
The morale of his own soldiers and horses was not high to begin with. If this continued, the morale boosted by the heavy rewards would probably be exhausted. Duduo made a decisive decision and immediately asked Gong Acha to lead 10,000 troops to fight out to reinforce Niu Lu Zhang Jingluo. Lieutenant.
Duduo's cavalry was almost the same as that of Su Jin, basically about 35,000. The Qin army wanted to divide its troops and besiege each gate. Duduo immediately invested tens of thousands of troops, like a vast torrent, which made the Qing army strong. The four wild horns are whimpering, and only the iron hooves are roaring in the sky and the earth.
Su Jin had no choice but to mobilize as many troops and horses as possible to reinforce Ximen;
The vast plain outside Shangqiu City has been covered with soldiers and horses from both armies, with banners like clouds, horse hooves like rain, shouts like thunder, and blood pouring... bursts of smoke and dust rush towards it. On Shangqiu City, the broken soil of the city walls was shaken to pieces, and those standing could feel the top of the city trembling slightly, almost unsteady.
To the north of the city, another Qin army came for reinforcements. This was the old team of the once famous Guan Ning cavalry. They were led by General Guo Yunlong. Three thousand men and horses rolled over like a giant dragon.
Guo Yunlong took the lead with ten thousand men and shouted loudly: "My sons! Do you remember Liaodong? The sky is high and the sky is vast. This is where we gallop. We want to fight back. From today on, we will never retreat. That's good." Men, come with me!"
"rush!"
"rush!"
"rush!"
Thinking of the prosperous years in Liaodong, the confusion of the past, and the majestic power of the Qin Dynasty today, like the long wind blowing through the remaining clouds, sweeping away the smell of smell from the land of China, these Guan Ning cavalry in those days couldn't help but sigh with anger. A roar gushed out, tragic, powerful, and powerful enough to penetrate iron and stone. Thousands of troops and horses rushed like fire, rushing towards the Qing army's battle formation.
Gong Acha quickly sent out a group of troops to meet the attack. The two sides quickly collided with each other, and the sound of shouts shook the sky.
The battlefield is getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke is getting thicker and thicker. Almost everything outside the west gate of Shangqiu is shrouded. Under the yellow dust, you can see the light of swords like lightning, the light of blood like rain, and the horses that have stumbled and hit the ground with a roar. The dying screams are thrilling.
Niu Wanchuan, who was the first to fight, continued to be brave, and with thousands of cavalry in the vanguard, he continued to destroy the enemy's formation and kill towards the west gate. Niu Wanchuan could see clearly that Duduo was on the west gate tower;
Kill it, kill it! Giving Duduo a few rockets might be able to settle the matter in one fell swoop.
His pair of meteor hammers were flying like nine-day killing gods, making hundreds of ghosts flee in fright. Under his leadership, the Qin army behind him continued to advance toward the west gate...
