"kill--"

Row after row of cavalry rushed out on their horses. At the beginning, they held the reins in one hand and the spears in the other. The length of the spears was much longer than that of the spears. Shining cold light.

"dong dong dong..."

"Woo--woo-woo--" The sound of rumbling war drums and desolate horns sounded from the rear of the army formation. When the soldiers heard these two sounds, they could only feel the blood in their bodies boiling, and they instinctively shouted to speed up. Run towards the enemy.

The two sides will have [-] cavalry combined. Such a large-scale battle is extremely rare. The cavalry moved as fast as densely packed ants.

"Boom..." The front row of cavalry from both sides collided, and immediately countless people turned on their backs, with blood splattering, stumps and broken arms scattered in all directions.

The heavy armored cavalry made a strong appearance on the stage, and the enemy cavalry rushing towards the opposite side were rushed to the ground with casualties. The Chinese army who came to Daqian was washed away in a few breaths. There were horse corpses, human corpses and countless knives, guns, and halberds on the ground.

"Kill, kill, kill—" Zhao Junsheng, like other dry army cavalry, roared while killing the enemy. On such a battlefield, no matter who it is, it will be affected. A trace of strength ran out.

"Pfft..." The long spear in Zhao Junsheng's hand kept stabbing out, six or seven times in a second, and each time took away a few lives, and the blood of the enemy kept splashing on the ground. on him and on his face.

It had been several years, and Zhao Junsheng had never fought like this before. On such a battlefield, he could use his force to his heart's content, and vent his accumulated negative emotions to his heart's content.

It seemed that after only a moment, Zhao Junsheng felt that the front was empty, and the enemy's formation had been killed.

Some remnants of the enemy's army were standing alone on the battlefield at this time. They reflected and screamed and turned around and ran away.

"Send the order, the heavy armored cavalry will be divided into two seats and two parts, and charge towards the rear of the enemy's left and right wings respectively!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the heavy-armored cavalry completed the turn as quickly as possible, and one by two rushed to the rear of the enemy's two wings.

"kill--"

The enemy cavalry, who were fighting with the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Gan army, found that their rear had been attacked, and immediately became chaotic. At this time, they had no intention of fighting, so they turned around and ran away in fright.

"Chasing—" Zhao Junsheng yelled, grabbing his long gun and killing four enemy cavalry who had fled from the side, leading the dry army and generals to chase and kill the rout of the enemy.

After the formation of a large-scale rout, Lai Daqian could no longer control the situation, and the wounded fled towards Pingcheng with the remnants of the defeated generals under the escort of his generals and second son.

Zhao Junsheng led his soldiers in hot pursuit from the rear. At other times, he couldn't keep chasing after him. But at this time, Zhao Junsheng had no scruples. The courage of Lai Daqian and his soldiers had been completely defeated by the front. , At this time, there is no courage to fight back, and they don't have time to arrange an ambush.

Lai Daqian looked back and found that there were fewer and fewer cavalry behind him, and the army was chasing after him. He immediately said to his second son, "If we go to Pingcheng, the army will chase us all the way to Pingcheng." , when the time comes, your elder brother's 3000 troops will probably be crushed, and Weifu will take the remaining soldiers to Yunzhong. Go to your elder brother quickly and ask him to lead the army to Yunzhong to join Weifu. Hurry up! !"

Laiti turned his head and saw that the Gan army was chasing closely behind, and the rout soldiers were constantly being killed. He gritted his teeth and agreed: "Yes, father commander!" 13

Chapter 697 Gao Jin’s Siege

Lai Daqian fled for two days and one night with more than [-] defeated soldiers, and finally fled to Wuzhou Pass. On the way, I don’t know how many people fled into the barren mountains, and how many people fell behind and were killed or captured by the chasing soldiers. There are countless horses and soldiers who ran to death along the way.

After resting at Wuzhouguan for a night, Daqian finally recovered, but he felt sore and unbearable, and there was a dull pain in the cattle. In the morning, he managed to eat a little porridge, but Da Boyi came to report: "Marshal , Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are back!"

Lai Daqian got up quickly and asked, "How about Qiu Tui and his 3000 men?"

"Don't worry, Marshal, the eldest son retreated promptly and quickly with 3000 troops, and he was not overtaken by the dry army!"

Lai Daqian went to the top of the city tower and looked down the pass, and saw soldiers and generals slowly entering the pass.

After a while, the two brothers Lai Qiutui and Lai Ti climbed up the tower and bowed down to Xiang Lai Daqian: "Son, I'll pay my respects to my father!"

Lai Daqian raised his hand: "Just come back, get up!"

The two brothers got up from the ground, came to Qiu Tui and asked: "Father commander, he was in a hurry on the way to evacuate, and the boy didn't ask the second brother, how did this battle end like this? Our army has [-] elite cavalry, even if the opponent has ten It is impossible for Wan Xiongshi to defeat our army in such a short time!"

When Lai Daqian thought of the defeat, he looked miserable, "It's a heavy armored cavalry, a heavy armored cavalry with both men and horses in full body armor! There are five thousand cavalry, let alone 6000 light cavalry rushing forward. Even a hundred thousand Qingqi will be washed away."

Laiqiu Tui exclaimed: "What? Five thousand heavy armored cavalry?"

It's no wonder that Laiqiu exclaimed, the training of heavy armored cavalry is troublesome, the selection of soldiers is also very particular, and the equipment is expensive. When Emperor Taiwu was alive, the Northern Wei Dynasty only raised three thousand horses, and they were still controlled by the emperor.

At that time, the [-] heavy armored cavalry raised by the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty were chased and killed by the Beiyan army all the way because they retreated hastily during the battle with Tuobajian in the battle against Beiyan. After being rescued, the three thousand heavy-armored cavalry were held by Zhao Junsheng to death, and the Northern Wei court refused to give them whatever they asked for, and the Northern Wei court never retrained the heavy-armored cavalry again.

After Zhao Junsheng mastered this heavy armored cavalry, he modified their training methods and strengthened their discipline. Over the years, they have lost some and added some. Until now, there are only 5000 people, and this is what Qianguo can do at present. The largest scale that can be raised, no matter how much it is raised, it is a waste, it cannot be used, and it cannot be raised.

Laiqiu sighed, "Looks like we didn't deserve to lose this battle!"

After the two brothers Lai Qiutui and Laiti had a hearty meal, General Da Boyi and others asked Lai Daqian about their plans for the future: "Commander, now that our army has been defeated, what is the plan of the commander? Huaishuo Town is still..."

He has been thinking about the whole issue in the past two days since he came to Daqian. He said: "Now the two towns of Huaishuo and Woye have only 2000 people stationed together. We still have [-] people here. I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the attack of the army. Shuai intends to lead his troops to Guanzhong to join the imperial court, I wonder what the generals think?"

Lai Qiutui asked, "Father, what about Huaishuo Town and Woye Town?"

"I can only give up!"

Lai Qiutui looked at his second younger brother Lai Tihe and the generals, and persuaded him: "Father commander, our army's morale is low now, and we lack food and ammunition. There are only such a few troops left. Even if we go to Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be too late." I will not be seen by the imperial court. If the imperial court wants to seize these soldiers and horses, it will be over for me to come home! Although our army is defeated, there are still more than [-] people. If we can hold Wuzhou Pass, we can delay it for some time , Didn't the imperial court send envoys to Rouran? As long as Rouran sends troops, the pressure on our army will be greatly reduced, and we can even launch a counterattack!"

Lai Daqian hesitated after hearing what the eldest son said. He was actually worried about this. If the emperor was older and could handle the government, he could rest assured, but the emperor was young and unable to manage the government. Controlled, he was worried that he would be taken over by Bu Liuguli in the past. Wouldn't his family be mermaids at that time?

?

Lai Daqian asked several other generals: "What do you think?"

The generals looked at each other, and Da Boyi clasped his fists and said: "Commander, the general thinks that what the eldest son said is right, going to Guanzhong is unpredictable, we can't hand over our wealth and lives to other people, even if we can't keep it This Wuzhou Pass, there are still thousands of people back in Huaishuo Town. If the Qianjun invades Huaishuo Town, our army will not be able to resist it. We can also negotiate conditions with them to surrender. The positions of Huaishuo and Woye Towns are extremely important. , next to Rouran, is one of the important passages for entering and exiting Monan and Mobei in the Hetao area. If our army hands over these two places to Rouran, it will pose a great threat to Qianguo. It is impossible for Qianguo not to consider this! "

Several other generals agreed with Da Boyi's statement and nodded.

I came to Daqian to think for a long time, and finally changed my mind, sticking to Wuzhou Pass for the time being, and ordered my eldest son Laiqiu Tui to take 1000 people to stay behind. He led the rest of the soldiers and horses back to Huaishuo Town. The place was looted, and anyone who saw a strong man was taken away.

Two days later, Zhao Junsheng led his army to Wuzhou Pass and left 3000 guards in Pingcheng. Gao Jinzhi was also ordered to lead his army to attack the city.

The army set up camp outside the Wuzhou Pass, and Zhao Junsheng led the generals to check the city defenses outside the pass.

"Gao Jinzhi, most of the army is now cavalry, and only you are infantry. The siege can only be entrusted to you. Have you brought all the siege equipment?" Zhao Junsheng pointed at Guancheng with a horsewhip. .

Gao Jinzhi clasped his fists and said, "Except for the trebuchet, all other siege equipment have been brought!"

"Okay! According to the investigation by the spies, the current guard at Wuzhou Pass is Lai Daqian's eldest son, Lai Qiupi. There are more than a thousand defenders. How long do you think it will take to capture Wuzhou Pass?"

Gao Jinzhi said: "Your Majesty thinks too highly of your humble ministers. How long it takes to break through a closed city is not only determined by the attacking side. If the defender is calm, good at defending the city, and has enough troops and the ability to defend the city." It is not an easy task to break through weapons, some cities can be defended for several years without moving, and some cities cannot even be defended for a day!"

An expert is an expert, and others will know that he is an expert as soon as they hear him. Zhao Junsheng also knew that his question was a bit redundant, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, how to attack the city is up to you. I will give you a day to prepare. Tomorrow morning Start after breakfast!"

"As ordered!"

Wuzhou Pass is a land pass with no water around it. It was built close to the mountains and the terrain in front of the pass is narrow and long. However, this pass was built to protect Pingcheng, so almost all the defense facilities are on the west side of the city wall, while the east The side city wall only has female walls, and there are no enemy towers or archery towers. Without these facilities, the defense will be greatly weakened, far inferior to the west city wall.

On the mountains on both sides of Guancheng, there are four other fortresses, each of which has a force of teeth garrisoned. Prepare more arrows and stones for defense. Attacking from both sides will not be more difficult than attacking from the front. The difficulty of the city is small.

After the matter of the siege was handed over to Gao Jin, Zhao Junsheng didn't take care of it anymore. He didn't listen to Chang Kun's report until three days later when he sat in the tent.

"In the past three days, General Gao has attacked four times a day. Each attack time does not exceed an hour and a half. The troops used each time do not exceed one building, and the losses are not too large. There are less than 200 people in total!"

Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Tell me the detailed process of how he commanded the siege!"
