The main force of the Liao army approaches Zhuozhou!
There was a dull rumbling sound between heaven and earth, not loud, but it seemed that the omnipresent emerged from the sky and the ground could be heard no matter what corner it was.
On the field, the snow was dazzlingly white in the sun, and a large area of black people slowly approached here.
In the fortress outside Zhuozhou, people were all on the wall, staring at the approaching crowd.The fires flashed on the forts, and the beacon smoke was blown by the wind in the air like a long diving dragon.
The sky is blue and white, and the world is bright and bright. So many Liao army members are coming over, and Zhuozhou is ready to face the enemy.Behind the earthen castle group, the elite infantry lineup formed a square formation was purged and gathered outside Zhuozhou City.
After a long time, the two armies shook each other across the front with a mile, and the speed of the Liao army center slowed down.
Han Tong, the head commander of the Zhuozhou Imperial Army, rode a horse to the front, and directly asked a fortress to lower the suspension bridge and lead people into the earthen fort.He climbed a simple wooden arrow tower despite the persuasion of the generals.
General Luo Yanhuan kindly advised: General Han is the commander of the entire army and should not take risks easily.
Han Tong stared at him and said loudly: If this general dies, the entire army will obey General Luo’s military orders!
Luo Yanhuan was stunned.
Standing on the arrow tower, the situation is different from what you see on the ground, and the horizon seems to be a little curved.
The weather is very good today. After the snow is clear, the sky is blue, the air is very fresh, and the vision is extremely open!
The Liao army seemed to be completely unafraid of being seen by the Zhou army.
Just seeing with your eyes, at least more than 100,000 people!
Han Tong is professionally leading troops, and based on experience, he can estimate the size of the crowd. The Liao army is approaching, with a scale of more than 100,000, which makes people feel very shocking... Han Tong has experienced the battle of using more than 100,000 troops, but it is indeed rare to put 100,000 people together!
Han Tong watched the Liao army with concentration, and his heart was tense.
There are too many people and too big places in this kind of scene, and both infantry and cavalry movements seem very slow; but it is like a big boat that is difficult to turn around. Once something happens, it is difficult and troublesome to change it temporarily.
Han Tong observed it and did not issue any military orders. He still gave way to the main force of the infantry to set up a concentrated formation outside the city... At this time, the decisive battle was ineffective, and the Zhou army was short of troops.
The two wings of the Liao army were spread very wide, and Han Tong believed that the Liao army would not only confront each other from the front.
As expected, the Liao army began to protrude on both sides, and their wings surrounded the left and right.
Rumble... The movements of the enemy soldiers were very obvious, and the sound of horse hooves in the distance suddenly intensified.
Han Tong held the hilt tightly, and still kept the main infantry behind him.
Several groups of soldiers from the northwest of the Liao army were the first to approach the fort. In front of a fort, the soldiers of the army stared at the scene ahead... A large group of men, women, young and old were driven over with sacks and stones crying!
The Liao cavalry was whipping with whips behind, and screams and cries came from afar.
A woman in rags was squeezed into the trench. When she looked down, she turned around and many people around her turned around; but the crowds of people driven up behind were rushing forward, and the crowds became denser and denser.
Someone threw away the sack, and the cavalry behind him broke up, and raised his hand and shot an arrow.
The crowd was in a mess.Many people fell into the ditch crying, and some were squeezed to the ground and were immediately trampled and screamed by dense people.
At this time, two stone bombs flew from the fortress into the air, one exploded in the air, and one fell into the Liao army's horses and exploded, and a group of people and horses flew away around.
After a long time, two trenches were filled with sand bags, stones and corpses. People stretched out their hands from time to time in the middle of the sand and stone, which was very terrifying!
The Liao army's catapult carts and ladders were all coming up one after another.
The stone bullets fell into the earthen castle like hail.
The wooden stakes on the earthen wall collapsed everywhere, and the houses where the soldiers lived were also banging loudly, and the wooden boards and felt were in a mess.
Standing on the wall, everyone stared blankly at the scene outside the fort, was pushed by the slowly approaching ladder, infantry carrying wooden ladders, and Liao soldiers holding swords, shields, bows and arrows filled the crowd.
Ah… A soldier was lying on the ground screaming, struggling in the smashed soil.Many people squat on the wall trembled.
Everyone looked back and saw that the Zhou army's infantry formation was still moving, and there was no one coming here... He felt a chill in his heart. Can this scene be defended?
But there was no choice, and the superiors did not issue a military order to retreat!Even now it's too late to run.
Teams!Prepare for the war!Everyone shouted loudly, and pointed at the people under the beacon tower, beating the drums to prepare for the war!
The crossbow soldiers on the arrow tower took the lead, and the people standing in front of the fort also took crossbows and shot arrows. The arrows of the Liao army archers were shot on the city. For a moment, the strings sounded, and the arrows fell on the Zhou army's plate armor helmets and occasionally the leather armor at the junction was shot through and screamed.
The soldiers of the Zhou army were in chaos, and the ten generals here were also dead, and no one gave orders for a while.
The person in front placed the crossbow arrows, and the person behind went forward to put it.
Bang bang bang bang... Even the copper musket began to explode. At this time, the Liao army's sword and shield soldiers had rushed to the city, and many people fell down.
The ladder was erected on the earthen wall, and someone panicked and left two tinned pots of turbulent oil. Then the ladder immediately ignited a fire and black smoke rolled.
But more Liao soldiers took wooden ladders and directly built the fortress earth wall, and the people behind them flocked to them.
Seeing this, Dutou shouted: Let’s do your best for your country!kill!
Soon countless wooden ladders were built beside the earthen wall, and several other cloud ladders also moved up, and the entire earthen castle seemed to be surrounded by ants.
Fires rushed up in the snow, black smoke filled the sky, and the shouts were deafening.
A Zhou soldier threw away the musket in his hand, pulled out a long spear from the shelf behind, and stabbed a Liao soldier who had just climbed up the ladder.
The Liao people hurriedly took the shield, but it was difficult to leverage the force on the ladder, so they overturned it and screamed.
The second Liao army soldier jumped and jumped onto the wall.
The long spear of the Zhou army soldier in front of him was not reaching. He was stunned and was immediately slashed by the Liao army soldier with a sword head-on, screaming and covering his face.
The Liao army soldier pressed it to the ground with a shield, and stabbed it downwards with an iron sword.
The Liao army attacked the wall on all sides, and the sound of killing on the earthen wall was shaking the sky and screaming.Many Zhou soldiers jumped off the wall, and the fort was in chaos.
Dutou was originally a general from the imperial guards' camp. He killed two Liao soldiers in the infantry battle, and everyone around him ran backwards into the fort.
Seeing that the Liao army on both sides surrounded him, he didn't care much, and he grabbed the wall with both hands, and fell downwards, and then jumped to the ground.
Everyone looked at the scene on the city wall, and smoke was everywhere and the sound of murder came from all sides. They couldn't help but look up and sighed.
He remembered the scene when the Liao people drove the Han people to fill the ditch before, and knew that they would not be able to survive.
He saw a ten generals not far away and shouted: Come over with the flag, ask the living people to gather together, and finally fight!
Several generals shouted and shouted, and a group of people gathered here. Those who were running around the wall were cut by the swords of the Liao army!
The troops gathered over, and before they formed a formation, the Liao army soldiers rushed up.
Suddenly there was a melee, and the Zhou army was immediately defeated by the Liao army's rebellion.
At this moment, the fort gate was opened, and a group of cavalry rushed over, first riding and shooting, and then the horses rushed over.
Dutou knew there was no way to go, so he shouted and raised his sword to retaliate. With a bang, he was hit by a war horse and slipped far away in the snow. He lay on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, struggling to stand up but failed.
When I opened my eyes, it was only a matter of time before the rest of my people were chased by the cavalry.
Han Tong looked at the crazy scene from far and near, his face turned ashen.
The nearby Zhou cavalry rushed in and out between the fortresses, and the Liao army did not attack the fortresses here under the threat of the cavalry.
At this time, a general came over on a horse and knelt down under the arrow tower: Why did Mr. Han refuse to save him when he saw death?
Han Tong didn't know this general, but he didn't say a word when he saw that his armor should be a general in the village army.
The Imperial Army General Zhang Lingduo below said coldly: How can you speak above the battle formation?
The general kowtowed and said: Cut my head, please help my brothers!
Han Tong stared at the eyes and said: There are too few imperial guards. Now that the troops are divided, once the Liao army breaks through the periphery and tear opens the big gap, the imperial guards will be divided and surrounded!
The general looked up at the smoke in the distance, his temples bulged with blue veins, and gritted his teeth and said: Then why are we stationed in the fort?Is it just to die...
Zhang Lingduo said again: If you don’t let you be in the castle, you will be destroyed faster!
Han Tong stared at Zhang Lingduo angrily: The defense line of the earthen castle is not for the purpose of defending the death!It is for both infantry and cavalry offensive and defensive!But Zhuozhou has such a few elite field soldiers, and cannot fight!
The generals of the village army were still dissatisfied and said: Why didn’t Mr. Han ask the brothers of the village army to retreat into the city earlier?
Korean Channel: Gu'an County has an elite 50,000 imperial guards!If we are blocked into the city immediately, what else can we do?
He took a deep breath and said coldly: He ordered all the forts to defend!
Get order!
After a while, a team of messengers with pennants on their backs were scattered and rushed out of the nearby horse team.
Han Tong could see that some of the forts had been captured soon, but some of the attacked forts were properly organized and still resisting... many people would die!But the Liao army would not have paid no price to attack the fortifications.
Han Tong thought in his mind that when the Liao army had almost finished attacking, he would mobilize the imperial guard camp to concentrate in one direction and counterattack the lost fortress again... There were also a large number of township soldiers stationed in the city to replenish the lost defenders.
Of course, this tactic cannot last for too long, and the morale of the village army will quickly fall to the end!But Li Chuyun's cavalry brigade will not procrastinate for too long!
Han Tong turned his head and looked east. If Li Chuyun reacted quickly, the forward would be able to arrive in Zhuozhou within half a day.
There was a dull rumbling sound between heaven and earth, not loud, but it seemed that the omnipresent emerged from the sky and the ground could be heard no matter what corner it was.
On the field, the snow was dazzlingly white in the sun, and a large area of black people slowly approached here.
