Chapter 46: Take the initiative


The Great Song soldiers, who were in charge of patrolling and support, soon found that the staff general was trapped in the hiding cave, but there were stones flying around his head, and there was no way to rescue him.finally waited until the trebuchet of the Liao people stopped, and then Zhang Fan was welcomed back.When he came out of the cave, Zhang Fan saw many soldiers running towards the city wall with fire oil.It was clear that the real killing began.The new city is a lonely city!

But you can't ignore it, especially since the person here is Yang Huaiyu, the chief general of the Great Song Army.Therefore, if Xiao Honglu wants to support other places, he must first pull out this nail.The auxiliary city was completely destroyed, and many people could not use it, so instead of letting them be starved to death, it was better to let them play their last role, so that the defenders in the new city could remain tense day and night.This act of sending civilians to their deaths continued for two full days before it stopped.The new city is full of bones, and even in winter, the smell of meat and the smell of corpses are mixed.Yang Huaiyu had no choice but to send a small force at night to slowly dispose of these corpses, and throw them as far away as possible.The death of civilians for two days and two nights was not without effect, and everyone saw a few skilled men in black disappear over the city wall and into the new city.For this reason, a wave of large-scale manhunts was launched in the new city.It was Zhang Fan who was in charge of this matter, and Yang Huaiyu had already placed the tent on the city wall.The Liao people outside the city thought about rebuilding the auxiliary city, but it was obvious that Yang Huaiyu would not give them this opportunity, and when the Song Dynasty army completed its task and the main force came back to converge, it was also announced that Youzhou was lost.So, before that, the new city must be completely destroyed.The soldiers of the Liao State were already going crazy, and the slope, which was almost made of corpses, finally approached the top of the city wall.The gravel of the new city was flying and dense like rain, and groups of tall armored sergeants stepped on the corpses and rushed up.Xiao Honglu, who was dressed in armor, appeared in front of the two armies for the first time, and his cold gaze crossed the wide battlefield and landed on Yang Huaiyu's body.Behind the vanguard army, there were the most elite warriors of the Liao State, and the dense muskets made the charging war horses fall to the ground one after another, and there were still more war horses with blood all over their bodies and continued to gallop wildly.When the war horse was blocked by the barbed iron fence erected at the head of the city, those most elite Liao warriors would pick up from the horseback and turn over with a beautiful posture, but they didn't expect that there was a forest of spears behind them, no matter how the Liao warriors used their weapons to block, against the enemy in front of them, there would still be spear tips piercing his body, and then throwing him out.The castle tower is a real meat grinder.Rolling wood, explosives, bullets, fire oil, each weapon will take a lot of lives, even so, the Liao soldiers still did not stop.In one go, this is a very simple truth, and the people of Liao also know that if there is no effect in total this time, the second and third brutal attacks will be much worse, and people, after all, have a heart of fear.Courage is a breath, and with this breath, you can do anything, and once this breath is gone, you can't do anything.When the Great Song army wantonly harvested the lives of the Liao people, the trebuchets of the Liao people also inflicted a lot of damage on the Great Song army.The damage to the walls of the city wall is not very large, but the damage to individual people is real when the debris flies out after the shattering.Sharp rocks can easily stab the body of a soldier, while a large stone can easily smash through a tall tower shield, smashing the tower shield and the resistance of the tower shield into the wall.Even if the quality of the armor of the Great Song army is very good, the thick feather arrows can still penetrate the armor, so that the Great Song army has suffered a lot, not everyone can be equipped with forged armor that can resist the feather arrows of the Liao Kingdom.The musket was very lethal, but it also seemed to have little effect under the sheer number of suppressions.There aren't many tricks to use in siege warfare, both sides are filling in with their lives.The damage caused by the trebuchet to the new city was too great, and Wang Xiao had two goals when he went out of the city to fight, one was to destroy the auxiliary city, and the second goal was to destroy the trebuchet.It's a pity that the reaction of the Liao people was too fast, and Wang Xiao could only reluctantly destroy the auxiliary city, but he couldn't do anything about the trebuchet.Yang Huaiyu wanted to try again.In his opinion, if he didn't destroy the trebuchet of the Liao people, it meant that Youzhou City had been taken.The most elite cavalry of the Liao people was patrolling outside the city gate, and Yang Huaiyu saw it, but he was still ready to break through.The pressure on the city wall was too great for those elite warriors of the Liao State, and the elite warriors of the Liao army who attacked the city wall were less than 100 people, but they caused very large losses to the Great Song army.Yang Zheng really wanted to fight the enemy with his father, and after being glared at by his father, he honestly returned to where he should be.Zhang Fan's hands were shaking violently, not out of fear, but out of nervousness and excitement.This was the first time that the Great Song army and the Liao army gave up each other's advantages and fought hard, and he didn't know what the result would be."

Rush to the ......"

Yang Huaiyu roared, and the tall gate of the new city immediately opened, and the war horse under the crotch rushed out at the first time.Strictly speaking, Xincheng is not a real city, all its functions are born for defense, so when the cavalry rushed out of the city gate for the first time in a real sense, there was a battlefield full of corpses outside, which made everyone and Yang Huaiyu extremely excited.Wang Xiao went up to the city wall and took over from Yang Huaiyu to command the city, and he trusted Yang Huaiyu's ability very much.The most elite soldiers in the entire Great Song Dynasty, who had been trained in war, followed Yang Huaiyu closely behind, and rushed out of the city gate with a roar.Yang Huaiyu's charge speed was very fast, just out of the city gate, he was intercepted by the Liao army, and he could only attack passively for many days, which made these conceited Liao people depressed to the extreme.Seeing that this group of hateful Song people finally went out of the city to fight, they didn't need to be ordered by the general, they themselves formed one storm formation after another to meet Yang Huaiyu.Muskets were shot out of Yang Huaiyu's hands, and before the two armies could engage in battle, the oncoming Liao cavalry had already been shot several times, screaming and falling from their horses.Yang Huaiyu's war horse is the sweat and blood horse that the entire Great Song Dynasty counted, the speed is very fast, the first time to rush to the battlefield makes the sweat horse become extremely excited, without Yang Huaiyu to drive, it itself will carry the master on its back to charge the place with the most enemies.A spear in Yang Huaiyu's hand immediately turned into a silver lightning bolt, and a man and a horse entered the enemy group straight and easily like a sharp steel knife.The spear was as light as an embroidery needle in Yang Huaiyu's hands, and every blow was extremely exquisite, without that ferocious feeling, but it could always elegantly harvest the enemy's life.Where Yang Huaiyu passed, countless Liao cavalry staggered and fell from their horses, silently and elegantly, leaving only their mounts to stay in place, motionless.Seeing that the army of the Great Song Dynasty, under the leadership of Yang Huaiyu, was approaching the trebuchet without hindrance, Xiao Honglu's expression tensed for a long time, and for the first time, his excited figure appeared, and he raised his hand and pointed at Yang Huaiyu, who was crisscrossing the battlefield, to Amur; "Kill him!"

Without saying a word, Amur left Xiao Honglu with a group of elite cavalry and intercepted Yang Huaiyu horizontally.Wang Xiao, who was standing at the head of the city, frowned, because he saw Amr and the cavalry he led.Even if they haven't made a move yet, you can see that they are ferocious and well-trained.This reminded him of the war between the Great Song and the Liao State a long time ago.Every time it is a rout, these elite knights are like Yang Huaiyu now, everywhere they go, corpses are everywhere.There was an emotion in his heart, he wanted to go out of the city and avenge his comrades who had died at the hands of these people in the past, but when he saw the heralds around him, he still gave up this idea and refocused on the whole battle situation.He is no longer a general who is simply responsible for charging into battle, but a commander-in-chief, a commander in charge of the overall situation."

Order all the artillery on the front to fire at those silver-armored cavalry together, give as much ammunition as you want, and up to death!"

The soldiers who stayed by Wang Xiao's side quickly repeated his orders, and then gave orders to the heralds in front of him.The herald Chong Wang Xiao took the arrow in his hand, and then rushed out of the arrow tower and ran wildly on the city wall.The sound of artillery firing is terrifying, and often by the time these explosions are heard, the powerful shells have already reached their target and completed their mission.Amur's horse was killed by the aftermath of the artillery fire, and he was about to fall to the ground, but a horse quickly rushed to the side, and Alma grabbed it and fell to it.Before Amur could see whose horse he was sitting on, he saw the knight's head pierced through the head by a crossbow arrow, and then fell silently.Breaking through the enemy formation, the armor on Yang Huaiyu's body was stained with blood, and the soldiers around him were like demons fished out of blood, waving spears into the distance, even if the next enemy was far away from them.Looking back at the soldiers behind him, Yang Huaiyu's face darkened, and after only rushing into battle once, half of the soldiers who came out disappeared visibly.The dense explosion sound on the battlefield just now should be the last sound made by the Great Song soldiers who were besieged inside.Yang Huaiyu looked at the trebuchet that was less than a hundred steps left, took a deep breath, and continued to charge forward, there are not many enemies in front, as long as he breaks through this array, he can destroy all these damn trebuchets.Unexpectedly, however, his spear was blocked by a young cavalryman in armor.Yang Huaiyu was bitterly surprised in his heart, and the spear spun around in mid-air, and struck at the cavalry in front of him again.The knight didn't expect Yang Huaiyu's strength to be so great, his hands were still trembling, and he couldn't catch the blow head-on, so he could only lean over on the horse's back to avoid Yang Huaiyu's attack.A gun seemed to come to life in Yang Huaiyu's hand, like a ferocious poisonous snake, obviously looking like a sweep, but the moment it approached the cavalry, it slammed down.The thick barrel of the gun hit the young cavalryman's back heavily, and Yang Huaiyu ignored the young cavalry and continued to rush forward.The young cavalryman did not straighten his waist anymore, lying on the back of his horse and constantly spurting blood, and in the end, he actually vomited out the fragments of his internal organs......

Wang Yuan had lost an eye, which made his hideous face look even more terrifying, although he was wielding a long knife, he was still far behind the elite cavalry in front of him, and in front of him, all his efforts seemed to be in vain.
