"Blow the trumpet and pass the command, raise the flag and the flag, and follow me to attack the thieves..."
At the next moment, Gu Yanlang, who was flexing his body on horseback, yelled: So the flag officer behind him took out the connected-rod flag rolled into a ball and stretched it out in the air with a few more people. Yuhou took out the horn and blew vigorously "Woo..."
However, the dull horn sounded only half a syllable, and Yuhou, who was blowing the trumpet, suddenly turned it down inexplicably. And this is like a beginning and a sign. Suddenly among the soldiers riding on horseback, among the soldiers in the marching queue, one after another burst out screams and screams and screams. At this point, she fell to the ground and fell into a ball with the left and right.
And as the queue stretched on the road, one after another splashed with blood and water fell down one after another. In the former team of the German army, there were already exclaims and screams.
"Stop..."
"There is an ambush..."
"Assaulted..."
"Close the team..."
"Prepare the enemy in place..."
At this moment, Gu Yanlang didn't know why he had been attacked, so he kicked his horse without hesitation and turned his head, and took the lead in galloping towards the more crowded team. At the same time, he shouted loudly:
"Leave the avenue and follow my generals..."
The generals who followed him also shouted in unison:
"Follow the flag..."
"Leave the avenue..."
"Set up on the spot..."
After these shouts gradually spread, even if there were still people in the queue splattering blood to the ground, more soldiers seemed to have found the backbone, and they quickly gathered as the flags were constantly moving in the air. In accordance with the usual practice of engaging in battle against the enemy in the past, a bunch of jagged outer shield walls and spears came out.
And these Tiande soldiers in a united formation clustered and surrounded the Chinese army's general flag, which had gradually stopped; immediately, many long strip-shaped basic defense formations were formed along the edge of the road. After all, as a child of the Tiande (Bian) Army from Fengzhou, the frontier, faced with those stray Huma who like to fight and harass, those who don't know how to defend themselves and fight against them can't survive.
Suddenly the sharp whistles resounding across the mountains and plains overwhelmed the exclamation and roar of the German soldiers these days; the mountains on the east side of the road seemed to move, like the invisible lurking and underneath. The giant beast shook its body a few times, and suddenly many figures holding the green flag came out from the dark forest.
"The so-called ambush is nothing more than this..."
However, Gu Yanlang who saw this scene was slightly settled in his heart; the situation here is relatively open and is not the most suitable ambush spot, so the bandit army can only hide in the mountains and forests farther away, not to mention the valleys. There is also a bifurcated river flowing through it!
"Don't panic, assemble the team on the spot... The thief army is still on the other side of the river, and the moment of wading is the moment to meet... The shooting team is ready to step forward and block..."
However, these thieves all stopped on the opposite bank of the river more than twenty steps away, and lined up in irregular rows against the bank, holding tubular objects in rows, emitting smoke and sparks. For a time, from the Tian German army arrays on the side of the road, they greeted the shooting squadman who wanted to shoot with a bow, and screamed with blood and screamed unevenly.
The remaining shooting pawns also lost the courage to fight, and hurriedly let go of the bowstrings in their hands that were not fully stretched, and after allowing the messy arrows to fly all over the sky, they all fell into the dark river water and splashed the starting point. , But fled back to the original array without looking back.
Then sparks and smoke rose again, and more smashing projectiles chased after them, slapped like a gale on the wall of the player's shield; suddenly they screamed and screamed between the debris splashing and bursting. Many players fell one after another, and many bloody gaps were created in the hastily formed shield wall.
"Is this the firearm of the thief army... It can actually penetrate across the river... Why don't you cover up and strike back!"
Gu Yanhui, who was in the back, couldn't hide his shock. However, at this time, it was the German army’s turn to ride the tiger; with the sound of the trumpet blowing from the back, several groups of men and horses were separated from the array of the German army, and they were thrown out of the air in a mess to cover. Without hesitation, they wade into the icy river one after another, wading toward the opposite bank with a rattling noise.
However, how can they run at waist-deep river water as fast as the projectile galloping? In the next moment, they saw an array of thieves who had already suffered sporadic casualties on the other side, and suddenly turned sideways and walked a few steps back; however, they immediately had another row of thieves holding tubes that looked bigger and bigger, instead of them. To the original location.
After seeing a burst of dense and long fireworks, there were only a few figures still fluttering on the surface of the splashing water, but those few survivors who had been frightened, slipped and fell into the river for a while. Can't stand up anymore. The Tiande soldiers who clamored to help out on the other side also lost their voice for a while.
The thunder blasted again in the forest on the opposite side, and then it turned into a howling sound in the sky. Suddenly, among the array of Tiande sergeants gathered one after another, fragments of sand, gravel, dirt and bloody broken limbs were exploded. In a twinkling of an eye, several Tian German army arrays were unclear, so they panicked and collapsed.
And Gu Yanlang, who was in the back in the next moment, finally saw clearly where the threat was coming from. It was a sudden emergence of many thin arc-shaped smoke trails, among the broken flesh and blood mist that broke apart one after another in the column under the Tiande army. , Constantly creating a chaotic gap everywhere. In the next moment, Gu Yanhui heard a burst of exclamation and yelling from left and right:
"Be careful.."
"The Lord..."
"Be alert to the rear..."
Because, behind their formation, on the low hills on the west side of the road, there were also thieves who were waving flags like forests and rushing across the mountains and plains. Then, Gu Yanlang stared at his younger brother Gu Yanhui, who was overthrown to the ground by a man and a horse in a mud wave that blew up beside him. A general flag embroidered with the word "Gu" also fell to the ground with it.
At the moment when the flag was pushed down, the German troops scattered on both sides of the road also broke the last string and screamed in an uproar. However, no matter how the generals and soldiers gathered around Gu Yanlang and his side, how they yelled and hacked and hacked, they couldn’t stop the trembling, they just passed them like flowing water, and they ran to the rear without life. The trend of collapse.
"Kill a thousand knives and dog thieves, An dare to fight to the death with me..."
Gu Yanlang couldn't help but roared, grabbing a knife and holding a spear, full of grief and indignation, slashed and pushed aside the chaos army, and rushed towards the thieves emerging from the mountains and forests behind.
"Reported, our army successfully ambushed Dongchuan soldiers and horses in the open of the mountain pass, cut more than a thousand, and captured nearly two thousand... There are other remnants still in pursuit..."
Soon after, in the joint camp outside the city of Shehong who was fighting and screaming. After getting the good news from the front mountain pass ambush circle, Zhong Yi, who was sitting under the city of Shehong, suddenly sighed, and released the white wooden pole that had been squeezed in sweat and almost lost consciousness;
After all, in addition to the main guards, what he can drive here is mainly to use the auxiliary soldiers recruited from the rear and the miscellaneous militias gathered along the way to pretend to be offensive under the city with a dirt cart. And put the main combat force in ambush in the open area of the outer mountain pass to wait for the officers. Therefore, if the defenders in the city see any clues, or dare to take a risk and try to counterattack one or two, his layout will soon be revealed on the spot.
Therefore, he would rather drive those militants and auxiliary soldiers to take turns in the bluff under the city to contain and harass, in order to prevent the defenders in the city from having leisure and spare energy to think and think. Now this tactical adventure of attacking Xijia Sijia siege and assisting from the virtual inside and outside, finally achieved initial success. The big rock that has been hanging in his heart can be regarded as completely falling to the ground.
"Pass the order, let them all stop and take a break..."
He waved his hand a little languidly and ordered excitedly:
"Pile the captured banner armor and the beheading together outside Shehong City, making the Chinese shout in unison that Dongchuan’s reinforcements are gone..."
And after a long time, when Song Hao, who had led troops to chase and respond, also arrived at the mountain pass north of Shehongcheng, apart from the broken soldiers who fled back along the mountain road, only the corpses on the ground could be seen. The afterthought of Heng Zhenji is on the battlefield. But when he unwillingly led his troops to the bottom of Shehong City, he could only see the Taiping Qingqi standing on the top of the city.
Because, after seeing the evidence of the collapse of the reinforcements, the local defenders, headed by the Shehong county magistrate and the town envoys, unexpectedly opened the gate of the city from the other side of the city, deliberately leaving a gap. And fled to the weak point.
—I am the dividing line —
And on the Chang'an city wall, which was still frozen, the intermittent battles continued. It's just that no matter whether you are a defender of the Great Qi, or a soldier of the Western Army who is attacking in turn, it is inevitable to show some kind of fatigue and decline. Therefore, although the battle surrounding the city wall is not happening and going on all the time, the corresponding intensity and progress are quite limited.
In fact, facing the wall of Chang'an Outer Guo which stretches for tens of miles wide (according to the satellite surveying and mapping of the base site in later generations, the bird’s-eye view of Chang’an City has a circumference of 35.56 kilometers and an area of about 84 square kilometers), all the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city Spilling it out is also a drop in the bucket, so it can only be able to control the main gate passage part.
As for the other large sections of the city wall towards the south of the city, apart from a small number of outposts and patrolmen, there is no decent defensive force. Therefore, there are always some officers and soldiers who are not afraid of death, who are willing to climb up in groups and want to have a chance to win.
Although most of them were found by the outposts and knocked on the gong, they were culled by the nearby mobile patrol team, but there were still a lot of fish that slipped through the net and fled into the Chang'an City Square. Traced. Therefore, as the ambassador of various patrols and defenses, Meng Kai and his men are under more and more pressure, and they are somewhat exhausted.
They didn't even have the energy to search. (End of this chapter)
