Chapter 235: What Chen Ying is best at
Duan Zhixuan was also ruthless. Sleeping into a horse pit can stop the war horses from charging, but cannot stop the infantry from charging. As long as a person is careful, even if his feet fall into the pit, he will only fall, which is not fatal.
Li Shimin looked depressed. The camp was broken and his own way was cut off. Why would he die here?
However, at this moment, Duan Zhixuan jumped off his horse first and shouted at less than 200 heavy cavalry soldiers around him: "We can rush up! We will never lose!"
Before he could finish his words, Duan Zhixuan held a shield with one hand and a horse spear with the other, jumped up, and rushed through dozens of steps of the trapped horse pit, and rushed into Zheng Jun's catapult position. The horse spear in his hand was thrown out as a javelin, and he pierced the two Zheng Jun's catapult gunners who fled in panic into a string.
The surviving Xuan armored cavalry jumped over the horse-drawn tune, wielding horizontal swords to kill, causing a bloody storm at the Zheng army's catapult position.
Duan Zhixuan's madness made Li Shimin breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zheng Jun's catapult position had been taken down, and they won this battle!
However, a red fireball flew in the air and hit the back of the Xuan Armored Cavalry. These were not fireballs at all, but red stone bombs. These red stone bombs, when they encountered wet and cold objects, would immediately explode. This wave of stone bombs, like a fire meteor, stormed Duan Zhirui's troops into pieces.
At this moment, the dark rain of arrows was covered with a cover of the Tang army, and the Tang soldiers were immediately overturned. There was no time to react at all, and the second wave of arrows was covered with another wave, and the Tang soldiers fell down again...
Amid the thick sound of war drums, the brigade was wearing Zheng soldiers, holding long spears and spears, imitating the appearance of Mo Dao Army under Chen Ying, and piled up like a wall. The front row of archers looked cold and the bowstrings were trembling, and sharp arrows shot out like the wind, causing heavy casualties to the main troops of the Tang army. The dense Zheng soldiers advanced to the main troops of the Tang army, which were in chaos at heavy steps...
Li Shimin closed his eyes painfully first. Wang Shichong still had a strategic reserve team in his hand!
Even the Tang soldiers now know that their camp was lost. The Tang soldiers whose morale fell to the freezing point had no resistance. The Zheng army, which had a full counterattack, was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, compressing the Tang soldiers to the center.
"Order Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong, and Niu Junda to retreat, stand firm and wait for the opportunity!" Just when Li Shimin was desperate, he saw the long-lost banner of Wang Shiyun, which means that the strategic reserve team that Wang Shichong finally used was actually Wang Shiyun's troops. Since Wang Shiyun came here, will Chen Ying still be far away?
Therefore, Li Shimin's heart regained hope for decisive victory.
If Xiang Yu is given a hundred chances, he will not be able to beat Liu Bang. Because Xiang Yu can win but not lose, Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu for more than five years, lost N many times, and was killed by Xiang Yu for more than one million troops. However, Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu again and again. Liu Bang only won Xiang Yu once in his life, but Xiang Yu lost everything.
In fact, Li Shimin is the same. In fact, he is not an ever-winning general. He has fought many defeats of losing tens of thousands of troops. However, Li Shimin is also a person who can afford to lose. He will never give up until the last moment.
"Puchi...Puchi!" The muffled sound of the gun blade entering the flesh was endless. Every minute and every second, many soldiers on both sides fell down with blood squirting wounds. The battle was extremely tragic.
However, the Tang soldiers who were originally in despair were suddenly told to hold on for a while, General Chen would definitely arrive. So they also had a tenacious desire to survive.
In fact, the Tang army soldiers have a certain advantage in hand-to-hand combat. After all, the weapons and equipment of the Tang army and the training they received were all absolutely advantageous by the Zheng army. Seeing that the victory was in sight, the Zheng army soldiers became bloodthirsty, just like a sheep, and they dared to rush up to reach the two corners when they met a half-dead tiger.
The soldiers on both sides had long forgotten their fear, and they were like cold killing machines. With the officers' orders, they swung their guns or sent troops again and again, chopped, stabbed, stabbed or stabbed...
The soldiers of the Tang army were bleeding, while the soldiers of the Zheng army were bleeding. At this time, Wang Shichong's heart was bleeding.
Although he won the advantage on the battlefield, captured the Tang army camp, annihilated nearly half of Li Shimin's more than 10,000 troops, and only five or six thousand remaining troops were left to compress the Zheng army camp. A discerning person could see at a glance that even if the resistance of the Tang army soldiers was arduous, it was a pity that the huge military advantage, even if three fights one, the Zheng army soldiers could fight Li Shimin's troops all.
However, Luoyang City was lost.
After Wang Shiyun discovered that Chen Ying's camp outside Yanshi City had already left the camp empty, he realized that Chen Ying must have attacked Luoyang from the water. Wang Shiyun also learned from the information Wang Shichong that Chen Ying was good at using the navy. Even in the remote area of Lingzhou, Chen Ying also tinkered with a huge navy unit, specifically used to transport personnel and materials. In this way, Chen Ying could go straight to Shuozhou from Lingzhou, detoured thousands of miles, and caught Liu Wuzhou off guard.
Wang Shiyun was not in charge of all the 30,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, and he led more than 20,000 troops back to Luoyang in the rain.
It was just a pity that although Wang Shiyun's reaction was not slow, he was still one step slower. By the time he led his arrival in Luoyang, Chen Ying's troops had already entered Luoyang City.
Moreover, Wang Shiyun also found that Chen Ying had more people than he thought, with as many as 50,000 or 60,000. In fact, Wang Shiyun's intelligence was wrong. At that time, Chen Ying had only more than 10,000 people. In fact, there were still less than 20,000 migrant workers and miners who joined Liu Tong and Xunxiang's troops to increase the number of people.
However, it is actually very difficult for this number of people to control Luoyang. If Wang Shiyun had the will to die at that time, and taking advantage of Chen Ying's foothold and not firmly establishing his foothold, Luoyang might have changed hands. After all, after Wang Shichong's management for several years in Luoyang, Wang Shichong still had a foundation for not borrowing people in Luoyang City.
However, Wang Shiyun missed this rare opportunity.
He hurriedly brought his troops to Cijian to meet with Wang Shichong. At this time, Wang Shichong was like a statue, moving and moving, with neither sad nor happy on his face.
In fact, in his heart, Wang Shichong wished that Wang Xuanying would be strangled to death, and even regretted that why didn't he shoot him on the wall? Luoyang was actually taken down by thousands of refugees? What was his mind covered with paste or feces?
Li Shimin's mood was similar to Wang Shichong. Seeing that Qin Qiong could break the formation, Qin Qiong fell on the way to attack, only three hundred steps away from Wang Shichong's central army camp.
When he thought Niu Junda could break the deadlock, Niu Junda still failed.
When he thought Duan Zhixuan could turn the world around, however, in the end, Duan Zhixuan led more than 500 armored cavalry back to only seventy or eighty people.
Seeing the Zheng army oppressing step by step, unfortunately, Li Shimin's troops were getting fewer and fewer, from more than 10,000 to five or six thousand. Now the combined number of people who can fight is estimated to be less than two or three thousand.
Just when Li Shimin thought he was about to part with this world forever.
Suddenly, a shocking shout of killing appeared in Wang Shichong's rear camp.
Immediately afterwards, a fire lit up behind the Zheng army camp, and the fire became more and more popular. The fire seemed to want to burn the sky.
A whistleblower came over and called: "Report———"
Wang Shichong did not speak out, and Wang Shiyun asked, "What's the matter?"
The whistle cavalry said, "Bailbasket, is the baggage camp on fire?"
"Backside camp? How is it possible?" Wang Shiyun was stunned and shouted: "How is this possible? Are all the people in the backside camp dead?"
Wang Shichong's camp was arranged like a plum blossom. The five camps in the front, back, left, right and middle were the main camps. In addition to these five camps, each guarded by forty-eight small camps. The baggage camp is located in the middle and rear, and there are ten small camps behind for more than ten miles.
"No? I don't know what happened. The civil servants in the civil servant camp suddenly made a fodder. They ignited the pile of fodder in the logistics camp..."
"What!?"
Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun shouted in unison, their eyes bulging out, and their mouths widened, like two toads struck by thunder.
The civil servants rebelled in the civil servant camp?
This is simply nonsense. Although the civilians in the civilian camp have poor treatment, they can still have food. Besides, he did not move any of the five thousand soldiers. With these five thousand soldiers monitoring more than 20,000 civilians, how could they rebel? If the five thousand soldiers could not bear to see more than 20,000 civilians, no one would believe it if they said it.
However, this is a fact, an indisputable fact.
The battlefield was in chaos. Wang Shichong sent people to put out the fire while strengthening his attack on Li Shimin.
...
The fire in the Tang Army camp was more than ten meters high, and it was clearly visible from ten miles away. A huge torrent slowly ran towards the Cijian camp on the muddy road.
Chen Ying was riding on the horse, with more than 6,000 cavalry and lances on both sides. He listened to the shrill screams from afar and the sound of weapons hitting him. Chen Ying smiled and said, "I wasn't late at last. All the soldiers, let me kill these idiots!"
Rolling, this is what Chen Ying is best at.
