Chapter 217 Central Plains Iron Horse

Grassland cavalry is good at riding and shooting, and as a large number of Han craftsmen are taken to the northern grassland, the grassland bows and arrows have been greatly improved, both in terms of the sharpness of the arrows and the range.

So although the Wei army was shooting upwards, it could still cause a lot of casualties to the defending army.

The army defending the city is not Lu Qiang's original team, and all protective facilities are not perfect. However, Lu Qiang can only make full use of these equipment to maximize their effectiveness.

At the suggestion of Lu Qiang, the catapult was replaced with a huge fireball, which could be launched outside the threat of the riding, and this kind of thing was no less powerful than the crossbow. The fireball fell to the ground and shattered, and countless sparks splashed on Wei Jun in the charge.

The arrow rain kept falling from the head of the city with the fireball, and suddenly made the charging Wei Jun have to leave a large number of corpses and retreat.

Changsun Fei obviously didn't expect a small Shangdang county to be so difficult to fight. His eyes turned around, and the soldiers who shot with his life wrapped the arrows around flammable objects, lit them and shot into the city.

Not to mention, this method has indeed played a great role, especially on the side of the catapult. Under the key care of Wei Junyou, the catapult was quickly ignited and burned like a giant torch at the head of the city.

Changsun Fei was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to press down again. Without the catapult, the counterattack at the head of the city was indeed much weaker.

Soon, under the cover of the riding, the Wei soldiers leaned against the wall with shields and ladders. After the ladder was put on, the soldiers climbed up like ants.

What Wei Jun didn't expect was that at this time, the gate suddenly opened with a "bang".

This change is a little sudden, but since there is a city gate, who is willing to climb the wall? The soldier closest to the gate didn't care whether the officer behind him gave orders or not. After being slightly stunned, he immediately howled happily and rushed into the city.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Fei was also stunned, and the defenders in the city changed? Why didn't you see anyone flying the white flag?

Because of the opening of the city gate, the riding also stopped and gathered horses to the gate one after another. There are countless rich women in the city. Who doesn't want to be the first to rush in!

At this moment, the mutation rose again. Without the suppression of the riding, the defenders in the city suddenly emerged, and rolling wood, gravel, and black arrow rain poured down from the head of the city again.

The Wei army, who had just rushed into the gate with great excitement, soon couldn't laugh, because they were stunned to find that what they rushed into was actually a round barbican city, and there was still a tall wall and a closed gate in front of them. As they entered, there was a sound of a hammer on the head of the city, and countless sharp arrows fell from the sky and turned Hundreds of people rushed in were shot dead.

With these hundreds of corpses blocked, the cavalry behind could not rush in even if they wanted to.

Before this, Changsun Fei lost nearly 3,000 people. He was so angry that Changsun Fei was furious and vowed to slaughter the city.

On the contrary, the city was full of joy and thunder. Duan Zichang thanked Lu Qiang with joy and sincerity. Without Lu Qiang's help and command, Wei Jun must have killed him.

Although the scale of this battle is not large, it has also given Lu Qiang incomparable confidence. The grassland nomads are also human beings, and there is nothing that cannot be defeated.

Deng Xiang has been eager to try for a long time. He approached Lu Qiang and whispered, "Your Majesty... General, can we attack?

Deng Xiang's growth is obvious to all. I heard that he is also a very thoughtful person. Why is he mentally retarded in front of him? Is it intentional?

Lu Qiang stared at him and snorted coldly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Deng Xiang touched his head and said awkwardly, "I want to steal the camp tonight"

It's similar to what you think, but you have to pay attention to the method of stealing the camp. He smiled indifferently and said, "Changsun Fei can't swallow this breath. He must come to attack the city tonight. When the war enters the stalemate, it's time for you to attack."

Duan Zichang has been listening to Lu Qiang's words. Although he admired this extraordinary general, he did not think about the emperor of the Jin Dynasty at all.

It's not that he didn't know that Lu Qiang had sneaked into Zhongshan, but that was in the past, and now Lu Qiang has become the king of a country. Imagine that the emperor of that country would come to other countries with only so few soldiers and horses? That's too tiger.

But he didn't know that Lu Qiang was the emperor he imagined.

Changsun Feixiang was cooperating with Lu Qiang. Sure enough, he withdrew the team and did not attack the city again. It was not until it was completely dark that he secretly brought the soldiers up.

Different from what Changsun Fei thought, there was no fire at the head of the city, which made him, who was ready to wave his army to attack the city, couldn't help but hesitate again.

People in the Central Plains often say that if something is abnormal, they will be a demon. They lead a large army to attack the city. Although they repel their army during the day, they will not be so worry-free, right?

The stars in the sky are dim. No matter how powerful the Wei army's archery is, they have to find the target. Now both sides are dark and rumbling. Who are they going to shoot?

Changsun Fei finally became smart and ordered the army to retreat quickly, rest for a day, and then attack the city tomorrow.

Looking at Wei Jun retreating like a black tide, Lu Qiang is also a little strange. What is this guy doing? Humph! What does it matter to him?

"Come on, beat the drum"

At this time, the self-evident joker has given the command to Lu Qiang. With Lu Qiang's order, the sound of earth-shock drums suddenly sounded in the city, and then the fire was everywhere. Countless soldiers were bright in the firelight, dense, and I don't know how many people there are.

Changsun Fei, who was directing the army to retreat, saw this and was not angry but happy. He said that this was what you asked for. With a wave of his big hand, the army returned to suppress it again.

Facing Jiancheng, in the absence of heavy siege weapons, Changsun Fei's siege method was basically the same as during the day. First, he rode on it, and then the soldiers followed with ladders.

With their iron hoofs rumbling, thousands of Wei soldiers rode around the city and shot a sharp arrow into the city with their superb riding skills. What makes them happier is that this time they almost have almost no arrows, and every arrow can shoot down a defenders.

In the screams, you can see that the number of defenders is decreasing one by one.

The soldiers who shot are a little strange. Is the military discipline of the Yan army so strict? In the face of rain-like arrows, they don't even hide?

The soldiers who followed couldn't wait. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer defenders in the city, they finally rushed up.

Changsun Fei, who stood in the distance and watched the battle, was finally relieved when he saw that the defenders were so easily shot. At first, he was a little suspicious, but when he saw that his soldiers had climbed to the middle of the wall and the defenders had almost no resistance, he was finally relieved.

shouted, and the whole army pressed on.

And accompanied by Changsun Fei's shouting was the rain of arrows pouring down from the head of the city and the rolling wood and stones thrown from the city.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Fei's heart was more settled, and he thought with a ferocious smile, "It is said that the Han people are cunning, and the Yan people are not bad!" Want to play conspiracy and trickery with me? What did you do just now? It's late now"

Facts also confirmed Changsun Fei's idea, because there was a wandering horse under cover, and the defenders did not dare to rise at all. Under the tide of the Wei army's offensive, soldiers finally climbed up.

When the Wei army, who watched the battle behind, suddenly cheered. You can imagine that once their people enter, the closed gate will soon be opened, and then they can go into the city to do whatever they want.

In the shouting, Changsun Fei did not notice that it was not far behind them, and an iron horse was slowly approaching.

There was no roar of the battle horses, no shouting from the soldiers when they hit, which made people palpitate. The cold eyes of the soldiers gathered into an invisible murderous atmosphere, pointing straight to the self-minded Wei army.

As Deng Xiang, who led the team, slowly improved the speed of the horse, the whole team also moved.

"Dad, Dad, Dad..."

The horse's hoof sounded like a tight sound, and finally formed a roar that resounded through the earth a moment later.

The Wei army is a uniform cavalry. They are very familiar with the sound of this kind of horses' hoofs landing, but they want to come. In addition to them, there are also a brigade of cavalry nearby?

However, as the sound of horses' hoofs became louder and more and urgent, some soldiers finally felt something was wrong, and some scouts were about to go over to see what was going on, but before they arrived, they were shot down by the arrows from the front, and then submerged in the roaring cavalry.

"Enemy attack..."

Before the soldiers who called the police finished their words, there was suddenly a chilling sound in the air.

"Six..."

Then I saw a sudden addition of black spots in the night sky. As these black spots fell, something seemed to suddenly grow on the ground, and under these things, there were the Yan cavalry who didn't even have time to scream.

The night cooperated with the iron horse of the Jin Dynasty and finally showed his sharp fangs in front of the grassland people.

Wei Jun had just had a beautiful dream of venting in the city, but he didn't expect that there would be a brigade of cavalry to attack them, and even the iron cavalry of the Jin army was scattered before he could counterattack.

Deng Xiang was the first, and there was only one goal in his eyes, that is, the tall and big-headed grandson fat.

Changsun Fei was also stunned, but he soon realized that this must be the Jin army, otherwise the Yan army near to the left would not have such a sharp cavalry.

What should I do? Looking around, the iron horsemen of the Jin army have killed them, and their own men and horses are too late to complete the whole team, and some of them are even fighting with the defenders in the city.

What made Changsun Fei even more chilled was that he suddenly found that the riding skills of these southerners were no worse than those of the grassland people, and their kung fu was also very good.

Is the Jin army's iron cavalry strong?

Seeing that Changsun Fei was still stunned, the guard couldn't help pulling his horse's head, turned around and ran away.

As the saying goes, if the army is defeated like a mountain, if they fight head-on during the day, it is hard to say whether the Jin army cavalry can win or not, let alone achieve such a result.

At this time, Changsun Fei, who woke up, had no time to sigh. There was only one running word in his mind. Hurry up and leave this place.

But if you want to run again at this time, is it still so easy?

Seeing that Changsun Fei was about to disappear into the chaos, Deng Xiang took off the strong bow with his backhand, fought with his arms, and immediately pulled the strong bow like a full moon. With the release of his fingers, the sharp arrow was like a meteor, rowing to Changsun Fei's back...
