6. The Fall of Nagasawa Prison
At this time, the fog had not yet dissipated, and the infantry team of the Yining Army quickly gathered together into a "battle Chen". The chuckled neck of more than ten feet long was like a forest to the outside. The rest of the infantry bent down and held long knives in the gap between the formation. The entire Yining Army's battalion suddenly became a "barrier" with countless weapons gathering, lying across the Shizeyuan.
Yuanhui's cavalry brigade stepped forward and took turns to shoot archery and clashed continuously. The sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing were shaking the earth.
Originally, Yuan Hui believed that the cavalry could tear a hole in the infantry defense line and allow more elite cavalry to penetrate through, which would be the end of the collapse of the entire line.
This is the experience of war over hundreds of years.
But now after nearly two hours of fighting, Yuan Hui, who was under the battle, saw that the Tang army infantry team opposite was like an "iron wall cast by ice water". They were divided into dozens of people and one building. The drum and gong horns sounded. When the Dangxiang cavalry rushed over, the Tang soldiers gathered like ants, forming a wall of spears to block the Dangxiang's charge. When the Dangxiang cavalry was slightly off, the Tang soldiers' swordsman, crossbowman, and palladium-killing hands jumped out and counterattacked for a short time, kill Dangxiang who had no time to retreat, threw down their bodies, and then seized their war horses.
In the fog, the city of Nagazawa Prison is still out of reach.
The four or five thousand infantrymen of the Yining Army actually stuck tens of thousands of Xia Dangxiang cavalry.
Seeing that the Tang army had not joined the cavalry, Yuan Hui became more and more anxious.
At this time, fierce battles were also unfolding at the barriers of Nagasawa Prison.
The one who defended Nagasawa was Yuanhui's uncle, Tuoba Shouyue, who was recently renamed Yuanyue.
The ones besieging Changze were the Shence Decisive Army and Shuofang Army, Gao Chongwen, Luo Yuanguang and Kang Rizhi personally stood on the opposite mountain hill, with arrow feathers shot from the head of the city wall under their feet, and they were commanded by the soldiers of the two armies to climb the city wall to attack.
After all, Gao Qi Hou issued a dead order: the siege equipment cannot be lucky for the time being, but Nagasawa must be taken down. This is the goal of the decisive army. Even if it is light-fitting, it must be eaten up by me!
The crossbowmen of the Shence Army, according to the crossbow method taught in "The God Mechanism Enemy Taibai Yin Jing", all the left and right teams set up "Ting Steps", and when the center of them set up "Eight Character Steps", the left and right hands are covered with anti-freeze and waterproof leather, and the white air is constantly exhaled from their mouths. Be careful to constantly pull the crossbow teeth, raise the crossbow head high, and reincarnate, and Zhang comes back and shoots back. Zhang Zhen throws archery rain on Changze Castle to cover it.
After the crossbow shot stopped, the other infantry carried long scepters, sticks, swords, and ladders to climb up the ladder and launched a fierce attack on the four walls of Changze City. Many Dangxiang soldiers with crossbow arrows waved their flails and sickle guns, smashed and poked the Tang soldiers who were climbing up the female wall, and blood splattered all over the city.
Fortunately, when the decisive army attacked the tough, it received close assistance from the soldiers of the Shuofang Army. The two armies fought side by side without distinguishing each other and fought side by side. If any injured, the others would come forward to rescue them in time, or take over the other's post and continue to fight.
By afternoon, three walls of Changze had been occupied by the Tang army. Yuan Dynasty led hundreds of young men and women. They were backed by a corner of the northwest corner of the castle. They used sharpened wooden spears to form a temporary horse-resisting siege, and they still fought hard and would never surrender.
Gao Chongwen ordered the three gates of Changze City to be destroyed and opened, and then the soldiers of the Shence Army rushed in and launched a squeeze attack on the Dangxiang soldiers in a corner, while the crossbowmen squatted on the city wall and shot down from a high point against the Dangxiang who was fighting below.
By the evening, the sound of the battle gradually became silent.
In the northwest corner of Changze City, Yuan Yue opened his eyes, his chest, neck, and limbs, and his right hand was still holding the sword tightly. Blood flowed out along the grooves of the crossbow arrows and the goose feathers of the arrows, and it had already flowed into a flood. His tribes and personal soldiers were holding each other and squeezing around Yuan Yue. The bodies were covered with weapons, some were stabbed to death by guns and spears, some were shot to death by arrows, and some... Looking further out, within a hundred steps, the pillows were piled with the bodies of the Dangxiang people, almost half the height of the city wall, all of which died of struggle and no surrender.
After the war, Gao Chongwen ordered fifty calf chariots to be transferred from the military camp to pull Dangxiang's body. After seven or eight times, it was concluded. Except for Yuan Yue and some chiefs who were cut off and asked for merit, the others were thrown into the trenches on the side of the city, and the soil was dug and buried. The two sections of the northwest section of the city walls of Changze Prison were originally red and yellow, soaked in red by blood. The wind and rain were blowing, not only could they not be colored, but they became deeper and deeper. The Tang army garrison could only destroy it and burn the soil to build it again.
After the fall of Nagaze City, Yuan Hui's team still could not break through the battle between Yining Army on the battlefield.
Yuan Hui was more at ease from the bottom of his heart. He could only retreat from the Jin Dynasty and retreat to Wuyan City.
The Yining Army sent out three battalions and bit Yuanhui's cavalry tightly. The other brigades of infantry changed their formations, and seemed to have more time to go, and they were ready to join the other Tang army to attack Wuyan.
In this battle, Yuanhui's fighting spirit was shattered.
When he retreated in panic, Yuanhui began to have a crazy superstitious conjecture: he even believed that the name of the Pingxia tribe was originally unlucky, so he took the name of "Xia". Pingxia, Pingxia, wouldn't it mean that the Xia Kingdom was Ping? No wonder, he lost again and again, and lost Liuboling and Shiling all the way, and immediately there was only one place for Tongwancheng.
At dusk, the exhausted and heavily injured and injured Pingxia Dangxiangs rode their horses to retreat to Wuyan City, preparing to set up a fence to rest.
In the fog that still did not dissipate, the three battalions of the Yining Army that followed Yuanhui also separated the three wings of the left, center and right, monitoring Wuyan City from afar.
More than a thousand Tang soldiers were so arrogant, and they were more than a thousand steps away from each other, and they were arrayed without fear in front of more than ten thousand party soldiers.
But Yuanhui had no choice but to let everyone dismount and join the guards of Wuyan City to feed the war horses and cook food. The Qingtianzi looked at the deserted wasteland westward and the Changze City buried in the fog. No news has been heard there so far. His uncle and all the city soldiers must be in danger.
The middle road of Baiyu Mountain is Luziguan at the south entrance and Wuyancheng at the north entrance. It only takes about ninety miles to travel north and south. Even if it is the Yima of the Tang government, you can travel from south to north in a day and a half.
In addition, Wuyan-Naiwangjing is the gateway to the west of Tongwan City. Yuanhui decided to defend this place so that the Tang army could not easily capture it, otherwise the entire Xia people would have no room for circling and survival.
When night fell, the entire Wuyan City, the foothills and the wilderness were swallowed up by white snow mist, and the visibility was very low. The Xia soldiers at the top of the city would ignite a brazier with oil, hang it with ropes, and hang it halfway around the wall, before illuminating the inside and outside of the city. The Xia people's hunting dogs behind the squadron were scattered on the bricks and stones, barking, giving people a feeling of nervousness.
Wuyan City is very small, so Yuanhui lets most of the cavalry rest between the city walls and wooden fences, which is nothing for the Xia people who are used to nomadic in the desert and grass.
