boom!boom!Boom... Suddenly, the city was like a bolt from the blue. Starting from the city gate, many places on the avenue were ignited, and fire and thick smoke rushed up!
Gravel and soil splashed everywhere, hurting a small number of Khitan cavalry nearby. A heat wave spread rapidly to both sides, and the hot wind mixed with thick smoke blew away.
Suddenly, the horse was shocked, and the horse ran in panic.
The gunpowder was buried too shallow in a hurry, and the explosion was very limited, but the smoke was extremely powerful, and it poured into all the gaps in the streets and alleys as the heat waves poured into all the gaps.
The avenue near the entire city gate seemed to have suddenly fallen into heavy fog, and the clouds in the sky fell down.It is said that the people in the smoke of gunpowder cannot distinguish things.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of drums on both sides, followed by heavy and neat footsteps, as if countless infantry teams were running up.
There was also a loud sound of killing everywhere, the bowstrings crackled, and arrows flew around in the thick smoke, and screams came.
After the explosion sounded, the city was in chaos in an instant!
……
Xi Ge, a Liao general who had just entered the south gate of Zhuozhou and was close to the city gate, heard footsteps and saw that there was thick smoke everywhere. He shouted at the general and walked to the north first, not wanting to fight with the infantry at this time.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting in Khitan saying: No, we were ambushed, the king told us to run away quickly!Not good...
There were people everywhere giving orders, and the smoke was soaking that they couldn't see who was shouting. The group of people shouted and rode their horses and ran, shouting whizzing by.
The Liao soldiers and horses were in a dilemma and were shrouded in smoke. After a while, they were already in chaos.
kill!Kill... There were shouts of killing sounds all around, the sound of ding-kneel metal hitting mixed with the painful screams of people, and the soldiers around them fought.
Brother Xi had been wandering around the city for less than two sticks of incense, and most of his subordinates who followed him had already been separated. I don’t know where he rushed to.
At this time, the smoke of gunpowder spread slightly by the wind, so he led his army to turn around and head towards the city gate.
As soon as I approached the south gate, I suddenly saw a large area of Zhou army infantry standing in front of me, standing horizontally and vertically, without moving.
Brother Xi wanted to order the heavy cavalry to break out of the city, but where can there be a heavy cavalry to grow into a stock?
The horse soldiers from all departments were mixed together, and the generals could not find their leader, so they had to follow Brother Xi's big player, and they followed the crowd.
kill!Brother Xi shouted.
The Liao cavalry in front rode their horses up regardless of their formation, and they set off their bows and arrows in front, ready to rush in and shoot.
A Zhou army general drew out his sword, raised it, and shouted: Shoot the arrow!The light soldiers of the Zhou army in the front row raised their swords and raised their bows and arrows together, and slap them... A wave of arrows shot flat at a distance of about twenty steps, and the heavy arrows had strong armor-piercing ability from close range. Suddenly, the Liao army's horse soldiers fell over and fell like a storm.
Shoot the arrow!The Zhou army general pointed his sword forward again.I squatted in the front row, and there was another volley of shots in the back row.
After two rounds, the Liao army turned around and stopped rushing forward.
At this time, the bowstrings in the Zhou army camp sounded more densely, and crackled and heard countless black dots flying into the air, sliding in the air, and then accelerated and fell to the ground obliquely, as if it was a heavy rain.
Some arrows fell on the roof of the house and broke through the roof, as if they were hail.
Liao soldiers waved their swords and danced around their heads, as if driving away flies and insects, and from time to time, people shouted that they were falling off their horses.As the smoke of gunpowder spreads, arrows are like locusts. This is the most unbearable place.
Suddenly, the sound of the gong at the city gate sounded, dong dong dong dong... the drum started to knock quickly.
Suddenly, a tiger square flag in front of the army fell forward and placed flat on the flank.
Kill and kill!The soldiers shouted, and the infantry picked up their swords and guns and marched slowly forward.
Seeing this, Brother Xi quickly turned his head and walked north again.The other cavalry had lost the orders from top to bottom, just follow wherever there were more cavalry.
These Liao troops were stationed in Youzhou area all year round and knew very well about the cities where the Han people lived. They rushed eastward to find other city gates.
They rode their horses without walking on the alleys, but only walked on the streets to facilitate mobility; the streets on the east and south sides of the city were filled with Liao cavalry.
Brother Xi and other large groups of people rushed to a street in the east, and there were riots.
A Khitan general in front rushed forward without saying a word, and the followers behind him rushed forward.Seeing this, the Zhou army infantry, who was not in line, turned around and ran away.
Ah Wei... The Khitan general in front of him screamed strangely, holding iron bones in his hand, and slammed it skillfully, and with a loud bang, hitting the helmet of the Zhou army infantry, and the infantry rushed forward.
The general killed one person, and the mount was a little slower; the Liao cavalry next to him had crossed over and rushed straight to the back of a running Zhou soldier with a spear.
The infantryman ran and looked back, but when he saw the Liao cavalry getting closer, he raised his head and shouted, and he used his strength to run.
But after a moment, the Liao cavalry had already caught up, raised his spear and stabbed it sideways, and penetrated it deeply into the soldier's back.
There were still several Zhou soldiers around him. Seeing this, they wanted to surround the Liao cavalry and dismount, but immediately heard the sound of the slap strings. The Liao cavalry that followed him shot and shot with his sword, rushed up, and slashed wildly from a high place.
The Zhou army infantry scattered and fled to the alley.
Two people broke open a door and fled into the house.
The Liao cavalry wrapped in pine branches with oil cloth, lit it on the fire, and threw a few torches into the roof.
The cavalry rushed all the way and ran across two wider streets, but saw a canal blocking the front, and the street extended past, which was a stone arch bridge built on the canal.
Unfortunately, there were at least a hundred people in front of the stone arch bridge forming a square array, with cherry guns densely packed together like forests.
The Liao cavalry rushed to the scene and shot arrows on the horse, and the Zhou army also used a crossbow to fight back.Brother Xi has already rode his horse forward, looked back and shouted: Kill that group of people!
The general asked for a fight, and soon led his personal soldiers up and rushed towards the front with arrows.
The Zhou army's light soldiers shooting arrows in front fled to both sides, and the team behind immediately picked up spears more than meter long to form a dense array of troops.
The Liao cavalry rushed to the front, hurriedly stopped the horse, neighed and shouted, raised its front hooves and fell heavily.
Immediately, several long spears stabbed over and inserted them into the horse's chest. The horse turned around and ran wildly. The Liao cavalry riding skill was quite amazing. It actually did not fall down on the back of the horse's back as if it was sticking.
But the horse knelt on the ground with a few steps. The Liao cavalry rolled down from the horse and fell. Just as they arrived in front of the Zhou army, they immediately saw blood fog rising, screaming and his lungs cracking.
The Liao cavalry did not dare to go up in front of the formation, so they shot with bows and arrows.Arrows flew around in a row.
At this moment, another Liao cavalry suddenly rushed from the street next to it and rushed to the flank of the Zhou army camp.
There was a ding-and-dang sound, and the formation of the Zhou army's hundred men was torn apart, and the Liao cavalry on the front immediately charged and attacked again.
Shaoqing Zhou's army collapsed, and the strength immediately reversed. The infantry fled to the bridge one after another, and many people were squeezed into the canal.
The rioters in the canal were covered in filth and walked towards the opposite side.
The water is not deep, the deepest part is chest-end, but it is very dirty.
It seems to be a flood drainage canal, which usually loses a lot of dirt inside, and only washes away from the city after it rains heavily.
The Liao army chased the arch bridge, but saw more Zhou army infantry formations on the other side waiting for formation, layer by layer, with a very deep depth.This scene simply makes people have no desire to attack.
Brother Xi followed the army to the bridge and saw the situation on the other side.I looked at the canal in front of me. The water in this canal is not deep, but the trench is very deep.It may be difficult for the cavalry to get up after going down... Fortunately, it is not leniency.
Brother Xi immediately shouted: Xilie!Leaving here, see where there is a bridge.Otherwise, demolish the house and choose another place to build a bridge!
……
The Liao army on all sides fought each other and could hardly tell who was whose troops.It seemed that there were Liao cavalry everywhere, and there seemed to be Zhou troops everywhere, so there was no way to contact us.
The people sent out could not find the right place, and they were ambushed along the way.
There are also Han people in Youzhou who can speak Khitan and spread fake news everywhere while the chaos is in the chaos... Some Liao generals want to obey the orders of the Shangfeng and run in the direction of the order, but they usually bump into each other with their own people.
The troops were dizzy.
There were still a large number of Liao cavalry surging on the main roads of the north and south; but the Zhou army in the direction of the South Gate was advancing along the way, and there were many Zhou troops at the South Gate, with 500 people as a large formation, layer by layer, and the footsteps and drums roared in the sky, making people terrified!
The Liao cavalry was attacked from both sides, and a large group of troops rushed north, and had already attacked outside the barriers of the Zhou army's camp.I saw that there were many flags and tents in the middle army, but there were not many people outside, so I had already retreated.
At this moment, a sudden bang of firecrackers exploded, and another drum sounded loudly.Then the sound of horse hooves in front rang out in pieces.
After the Zhou army retreated to the north of the city, another part of them gathered and actually counterattacked.
The young general in charge was Dong Zunxun. He was wearing double heavy armor, wrapped like an iron zongzi, and a huge pure blood horse under his seat led his army to rush over.
Dong Zunxun was wearing heavy armor, but his movements were still very flexible. He opened his bow and shot, and with two strings, he saw the Liao cavalry who were more than twenty steps away falling off one after another.
The two armies were approaching, but the Liao army was shot but did not fight back with bows and arrows. Instead, they immediately raised their long and short weapons and accelerated their horses and seized the opportunity to get the momentum.
Sure enough, after a moment, the Zhou army and the horse soldiers rushed to the front. Dong Zunxun threw away the expensive carved bow in his hand and drew his sword from his back.
The sword is immediately drawn out only from the back. With a clang, the weapon hits and sparks splash.
The personal soldiers around him also rushed up, and the two sides alternated like lightning.
A Zhou army knight stabbed the cherry gun directly into the abdomen of the Khitan cavalry, and immediately gave up the cherry gun, but another iron bone roared towards him. He didn't have time to dodge, and he hit the hit on his face and screamed in pain.
Iron lumps like large garlic hit the nose and blood immediately splattered.
The crowds of horse soldiers on the streets slashed wildly for a moment, and the iron hooves trampled the flesh and blood on the ground like mud.
Gravel and soil splashed everywhere, hurting a small number of Khitan cavalry nearby. A heat wave spread rapidly to both sides, and the hot wind mixed with thick smoke blew away.
Suddenly, the horse was shocked, and the horse ran in panic.
The gunpowder was buried too shallow in a hurry, and the explosion was very limited, but the smoke was extremely powerful, and it poured into all the gaps in the streets and alleys as the heat waves poured into all the gaps.
