Chapter 151: The Tragedy of Wuzhou (4)

In front of the formation, tens of thousands of cavalry of the five armies galloped towards the east gate. Many small triangular flags tied to the spears were raised high by the wind.

The soldiers shouted in unison not like "kill" or "rush", but instead shouted: "Those who surrender will not kill them, but will still send food."

This statement seemed to be more powerful than a grenade launcher, which made the Yuan army in the city a little turbulent. Now, food is even more tempting to the Yuan army soldiers than gold and silver.

Many people were starving in their eyes, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but move their steps outside the city, as if there were golden chicken legs waiting for them outside the city.

"Those who dare to surrender will be killed!"

If the army supervisor at the city gate had not shouted loudly and stopped them, these soldiers would have walked out of the city like walking corpses.

Even if the military supervisor shouted, some people still couldn't stop their eyes from rippling.

Too hungry.

People are extremely hungry, and sometimes even ethics will be lost, not to mention the so-called patriotism and justice. Some Yuan soldiers no longer care about fighting and don’t fight, and they just want to fill their stomachs. These days, all the food they can eat in the city has been eaten, and they are almost gone to eat human flesh, and there are also war horses that are strictly ordered by the army to not be slaughtered.

In this era, war horses in the army were more important than the lives of soldiers.

Ali Hague heard the slogan of Song Jun on the top of the city, cursed Song Jun in his heart, and shouted: "Stop them! Block them!"

The city gate was gone, but they still had tens of thousands of soldiers, and they might not be unable to stop the Song army. Ali Hague was reluctant to abandon the city until the desperate situation. He knew very well that the Song army was well-equipped and had enough food. If he abandoned the city, he might have a way out, but his soldiers would definitely lose a lot.

There were continuous sounds, and when the Song cavalry was only about 300 meters away from the city, crossbows and arrows were fired on the top of the city.

The city was covered with soldiers and horses led by trusted generals who were trusted by Ali Hague, but their loyal ministers were unquestionable. Moreover, they were favored by Ali Hague. Although the army was almost out of food, very few were hungry.

Among the hundreds of crossbow bases, hundreds of spear-like crossbow arrows shot out at the same time.

These crossbow arrows were shot into the Song army's cavalry formation with great force, and could shoot through all the war horses in armor.

The first round of crossbow arrows passed, and hundreds of people in the front row of cavalry in the Song army were overturned.

But this did not stop the cavalry from rushing, and it still rushed towards the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Dongting saw this scene with a telescope on the chariot, his eyes twitched slightly and his heart was in pain. These cavalrymen were all his elites.

His troops gradually developed from the time of the Emperor, full of his hard work, and they were all his heart.

But at this time there were only a few shells left in the army, and he had no other way, so he could only let the soldiers attack the city by force.

He even wanted to go back to the chariot and stop watching the scene of the battle. However, the situation changed rapidly and he was worried about some chaos.

After two waves of crossbow arrows and arrows all over the sky, the cavalry paid a lot of money and finally rushed to the moat outside the city.

"drive!"

A soldier driving a chariot whipped his whip and drove the horses into the river, and even the chariots rolled down into the moat. These chariots were transformed by Zhao Dongting and were specially used to deal with the moat. The roof of the chariot was made of steel, and more than ten chariots rolled down into the river, and soon filled the moat in front of the city gate.

Yue Peng was still rushing in front, and he pushed the silver spear in his hand away and shot the arrows that were close to him, shouting loudly: "Enter the city! Enter the city!"

The soldiers who fell into the river with the chariots emerged from under the water, but before they could climb ashore, they were shot to death by the Yuan army's arrows.

Scarlet blood suddenly spread out in the muddy and dark yellow river water.

The guards who rushed to the front shone with silver scales, and followed Yue Peng into the city first. Under the horse's hooves, the horse's socks stepped on the steel plates of the chariot, making a jingle of gold and iron intersecting, densely packed, several cavalry lined up, and poured into Lipu County one after another.

Ali Hague kept shouting on the top of the city, "Kill! Kill me!"

The Yuan army's arrows, rolling stones, tincture oil, etc. were really coming to the city like heavy rain.

Even though the guards and horses were quite brave, the fish scale armor they wore was forged by Zhao Dongting's new smelting method. They had a strong defense, but they were also damaged a lot in front of the city. The fish scale armor could block the arrows, but could not block the rolling stones and tinder oil. Many soldiers were smashed to death and blood flowed out of their helmets. Some were ignited by tinder oil and were instantly wrapped in flames, making a tragic scream.

Inside the city gate was the Yuan army's swords and chariot, which ran across the entire city gate. The blade in front of the swords was more than two meters long, shining with a cold light. Behind were neat shield soldiers, layered and several meters long. Then, there were dense archers, constantly slacking arrows out of the city.

Even with Yue Peng's skills, he was not able to push all the arrows away. Two arrow feathers were inserted into his chest, and he was still trembling.

The fish scale armor was extremely tough, and its smelting technology was far superior to that of the Yuan army's arrows. Therefore, these two arrows were very shallow, otherwise Zhao Dongting would have been afraid of losing the general.

A guard and horse army rushed to the front of the knife chariot formation, and even the people and horses were penetrated by the blades, and blood was splattered everywhere.

"ah"

Yue Peng roared, and came to the knife chariot formation and suddenly lifted the reins.

The war horse under his seat jumped up suddenly, and actually jumped over the knife carriage with four blades inserted into it and nearly one and a half meters high.

This is simply not a knife trolley, it doesn’t matter if it’s a knife wall.

However, although Yue Peng's war horse crossed the front line of the knife chariot, it was inevitable that it would be penetrated by the second line of the knife chariot.

The horse didn't even have time to neigh. After being penetrated by several blades, it was immediately killed, with only the corners of his eyes as if tears were falling.

Who says animals are not psychic?

The war horses and soldiers in the army were born and died, and there was always some indescribable response between them.

Yue Peng knew that his love horse could not be spared, and his eyes were red. At the moment when the war horse was penetrated by the blade, he stomped his legs on the stirrups, and he floated up and pushed away the arrows in front of him. Then his feet had just landed on the upper edge of the knife cart. The silver spear swept the throats of the two Yuanjuns holding the handlebars, and stepped on the knife cart and rushed to the back of the shield soldiers.

"Kill!"

The guards and horse soldiers were not as good as him, but they could only use their war horses to resist the Yuan army's sword chariot and drove the horse straight into the sword chariot.

In just less than two minutes, dozens of war horses fell down in front of the knife chariot formation.
