On May 21, the second year of Dalong Yongping.
The powerful and invincible Dalong soldiers and horses south of Hezhou in the Kingdom of Jin launched a tentative attack on Jianzhou again after careful consideration.
At the same time, Wan Mingliang, who sent troops to Jizhou, also received a letter from Yunyang and began to plan the use of troops in Jizhou.
The six of them, Cheng Kai and others, commanded their respective soldiers and horses, and while encircling and suppressing the Turkic cavalry, they joined forces towards the two cities of Jianzhou.
"Commander, what's going on? The enemy actually wants to attack the city with cavalry. Is Yunyang old and confused?"
The words of the generals around him also brought Wanyan Chizha, who was slightly stunned, back to his senses. He looked at the dragon soldiers and horses outside the city slowly approaching the city gate in surprise. He couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Yunyang gourd.
Except for the Western Turkic Royal Court of Spis, no one has heard of anyone using cavalry to attack the city in decades.
However, due to his understanding of old friends and rivals, Wanyan Chizha knew that Yunyang was definitely not an old fool, otherwise he would not have led the army to capture the entire line south of Hezhou in the Kingdom of Jin.
“Don’t be careless, everything happens for a reason, don’t take it lightly when defending.
Since Yunyang used cavalry to attack the city, he must have his own plan.
Maybe the enemy's real killer move lies in the cavalry that goes against common sense.
Send an order to many lookouts to pay close attention to every move of the enemy's infantry and cavalry on both sides, and report anything amiss immediately. "
"It's an order."
"Yeluhu, you all should disperse immediately and stick to your positions. Anyone who is careless and allows the enemy to attack the city wall will be dealt with according to military law."
"With your order, we shall retire."
The soldiers performed their duties. Yunyang took out his telescope and carefully observed the position of the cavalry, which was getting closer and closer, trying to find some clues.
Looking at the two people on the horse, Wanyan's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, there is something weird.
What is the purpose of these cavalry?
"Commander, there is something wrong with the bows and arrows on these cavalry. Can you use a telescope? I can't see clearly with my naked eyes."
Wanyan Chizha was stunned for a moment, then took another look at the crossbow on the dragon cavalry, and without hesitation handed the telescope in his hand to Li Hua, the commander of the personal soldiers.
Li Hua raised his telescope and looked back and forth at the cavalry on both sides for a moment.
"Commander, if my expectations are correct, these cavalry should be the sharpshooters of the dragon. On Sunday, in order to fight quickly, the dragon cavalry uniformly uses hand crossbows and light bows.
However, the crossbows carried by these cavalry are all big yellow bows. Except for sharpshooters, ordinary cavalry rarely use these energy-consuming big yellow bows.
The person holding the shield in front of the sharpshooter is the real dragoon.
Their swords and hand crossbows all showed their identities.
It's just that the cavalry and the sharpshooters ride on the same horse. What kind of power can they exert? "
Wanyan Chizha listened to the soldiers' analysis, stroking his beard and pondered silently.
After a moment, Wanyan Chizha's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly took the telescope from Li Hua's hand, and carefully looked at the cavalryman who was much closer, not missing any part.
When he saw the tail of the phoenix feather arrow exposed from the saddle on the horse's back, Wanyan Chizha took a deep breath.
"Quick, order the gunner. After withdrawing the artillery from the battlements, the cannonballs should be scattered and cannot be concentrated. Order the shield bearer to cover the mouth of the battlement with his shield to defend against the rain of arrows."
Although Li Hua didn't know what Wanyan Chizha was thinking, he still ran to convey the order without hesitation.
Just as Li Hua left, a rumble of artillery suddenly rang out from the direction of Dalong Military Camp, and the artillery shells fired toward the city wall.
Without Yan Chizha's order, the Jin soldiers and horses, who had suffered enough from artillery before, consciously clung to the battlements.
After the first wave of test firings, Dalong's artillery became denser and bombarded the city wall non-stop.
The cavalry guarding the infantry on both sides also accelerated their attack in an instant. The big dragon marksman behind the horse also began to bend his bow and arrow. After the cavalry brother in front lit the fuse of Lei Zhenzi, he shot towards the city wall. .
The Jin Kingdom defenders, who were under artillery attack, once again faced an unexpected wave of Lei Zhenzi attacks.
The arrow flew towards the city wall in an instant, although Wanyan Chizha let the shield bearers cover the battlements.
However, the phoenix feather arrow shot by the sharpshooter was directly nailed to the wooden shield, and then the thunderbolt of the arrow exploded.
The shield bearer and his shield were blown away, and even the surrounding soldiers were affected.
It can range from dizziness to severe bleeding to death.
Wanyan Chiezha heard the screams of his brothers in his ears, and felt heartbroken and bleeding.
"Quickly, order the shield bearer to replace his shield and cover the battlements with thunder stones."
"Got the order!"
As the shield hand operated, the arrow shot by the sharpshooter was bounced away because it hit the stone.
However, the size of the stones is very different.
Many arrows got stuck in the battlements at the right time and exploded, taking away many Jin Kingdom guardsmen.
"Personal soldiers, order the soldiers in the city to wrap the shields with iron plates and send them to the city wall."
"Got the order!"
Wanyan Chizha, who had suffered a huge loss, knew that this way of siege would not last for just one or two days, so he immediately thought of a way to stop his losses.
Taking the opportunity to glance at the distance of the infantry outside the city, Wanyan Chizha estimated the distance and found that the enemy infantry had already entered the counterattack range.
"Send orders, gunners, crossbows, catapults, archers, and fight back independently."
"Got the order!"
"The commander-in-chief has ordered us to fight back on our own!"
"The commander-in-chief has ordered us to fight back on our own!"
"The commander-in-chief has ordered us to fight back on our own!"
In an instant, the Jin guards who had been waiting for a long time began to fight back against the attacking soldiers and horses under the city wall.
There are 130,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom stationed in Jianzhou City. It is not a city with empty troops like Songzhou, Muzhou... and other cities.
In the blink of an eye, the speed of the siege infantry was suppressed, and a large number of casualties occurred.
—————
Jianzhou, which had been peaceful for two months, staged a battle involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in half a day.
...........
The study room of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin.
The queen was wearing a light and loose summer dress. She placed a document in her hand on the table and looked at the Turkic Khan Huyan Yunyao opposite her in a tight-fitting leather armor with bright eyes.
"You didn't tell me anything about your plans, and I don't know anything about how to use the troops. I asked for five thousand exploding cannonballs. Little goblin, do you think I will give them to you?"
Huyan Yunyao sat cross-legged opposite the Queen, silently playing with the teacup in her hand: "You will, given the current situation of the Kingdom of Jin, you have no choice.
To give Ben Khan cannonballs is to save yourself.
None of us can do without someone else's support, right? "
"Our situation in the Kingdom of Jin is in danger, so why are you Turks in danger? You don't have to face me like a lifesaver.
If you help me fight against the enemy, you are saving yourself. You know, the next target of Dalong's attack will be you Turks.
We, Dajin, are dead, how long can you Turks survive? "
Huyan Yunyao pressed her hands on the table, leaning forward and staring straight at the Queen: "If we Turks can't defeat us, we can retreat. The worst we can do is go to the north of Yinshan to graze and live alone, and your Dajin legacy of more than a hundred years has already taken root." , there is no way you can retreat.
The value of five thousand cannonballs is certainly very high, but compared to the old woman, your country and country, what is it? "
The queen looked at Huyan Yunyao's watery phoenix eyes and sighed sadly.
"I admit that your words moved me, but I still won't give you five thousand cannonballs. It's not that I am short-sighted, but that with the ability of my big golden soldier to build prisons, I can't make bombs like the big dragon!
But I can give you another thing that is similar to the Great Dragon Thunder Zhenzi.
It's just that this kind of thing has just been created and is very dangerous.
If used improperly, it may injure your Turkic warriors. "
"I won't bother you with this. I have my own plan."
"You have no objection. I will naturally not be stingy. Can you tell me your plan?
We are now the right-hand man, supporting each other. Knowing your detailed arrangements, I should be able to ask the frontline troops to find ways to help. It will be much better than you Turkic troops doing it yourself.
As the saying goes, one person is short-term. "
Huyanjunyao hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of warm rice paper from her arms and handed it to the queen.
The Queen took it and looked through it carefully. After a long time, the Queen frowned slightly.
"Are you sure this method is feasible? You must know that this is only a biographical record of Qi's attack on Yan, and there is no accurate record of its authenticity.
Are you sure you want to use ancient tactics to deal with the dragon's troops?
The cows are going crazy, but they are a big, uncontrollable problem!
Don't end up self-defeating when the time comes and set yourself on fire. "
"Why do you think this Khan keeps letting his tribesmen graze cattle these days? Besides, wouldn't it be better to go crazy? Our Turkic tribesmen participating in the war this time do not have infantry, they are all cavalry, and they can evacuate quickly from the battlefield .
Eight thousand strong bulls, if used properly, can defeat an army of one hundred thousand!
I have countless Turkic cattle and sheep. As long as this plan is feasible, I will have more cattle to draw out to fight. "
"Hiss... I will try my best to cooperate with you!"
