Chapter 40

As the county soldiers who were already tremblingly trying to rush out of the city were blocked by the rain of arrows from the nest chariot, Liu Heita kept shouting and lifting the catapult to the base with wooden wheels again, and commanded the soldiers to drag the wall cart, board cart, and catapults that lifted the base to retreat...

At this time, Xu Shiye, who was in the infantry army behind, also looked at the situation where the county soldiers of Ji County wanted to rush out of the city. He sat immediately and immediately ordered Xiong Kuohai beside him: "Brother Hai will speed up the iron cavalry to bypass the infantry army to launch an assault on the county soldiers who might rush out of the city, and cover the chariots and other troops. Just take a little attack, don't fight!"

Xu Shiye, who was also in a heart-willing way to show off his power, felt that he might be blocked by the generals and the generals, which was a waste of time. Moreover, the entire army really needed him, the commander and dispatcher in the future. There was no need to say more. Therefore, Xu Shiye tried his best to suppress the restless mentality unique to the young people and told Xiong Kuohai to lead the Iron Cavalry to go.

"As for orders! Mission protects the general. I'll go!" Xiong Kuohai, who was sitting on the horse, agreed with an urn, raised and waved high as if nothing was light and nothing, and immediately led three hundred iron cavalry around the infantry formation and galloped away in an arc...

A scholar died for his confidant. He was honest and loyal and upright. He felt that Xu Shiye was in love with him and he was also more concerned about his subordinate relationship with Xu Shiye. Therefore, before leaving, he had to explain to Xu Cong very seriously, "Protect the general." Xu Shiye, who was also very moved, couldn't help but feel depressed and thought: Is my martial arts so bad? I still need a child and a half to protect it?

At this time, the Wagang Army also had a certain convenient opportunity to carry out the siege. One reason was that the bombardment of huge rocks on the south city had temporarily appeared in a state of confusion and disorder. The siege of the Ji County garrison caught off guard. The second reason was that Ji County opened the South City Gate and fell down the suspension bridge. If the infantrymen who were a hundred steps away from Ji County were driven to rush up immediately, maybe there would be a chance to rush across the suspension bridge and seize the southern city gate of Ji County?

But Xu Shiye, who weighed the pros and cons of his brain at a rapid speed, finally decided to give up this fleeting opportunity. The reason is:

One of them is naturally that the entire army did not make preparations in this regard as planned. Even the trench bridge, ladder and siege tower that had been prepared were not brought. If it was brought, naturally, if it could not be captured, it would be possible to spread the surface with the trench bridge across the moat and carry out a powerful siege in the case of not being able to seize the south gate.

Secondly, given the reason why Xu Shiye has always felt very "crazy": the siege battle in the cold weapon era was too cruel, and the attacking side suffered too much losses. After all, it is still an era when the two legs of the soldiers are completely relying on the two legs of the soldiers to attack and advance. When the infantry rushed over to cross the moat and rushed to the south wall of Jijun, although it caught the defenders off guard, the inevitable defenses will still respond in time to defend, which will also cause huge damage to both sides to be basically inevitable. Therefore, Xu Shiye, who had not planned to attack Jijun before, decided to follow the original plan at the last moment.

At this time, the battle between the offensive and defensive sides was still continuing under the city of Jijun Nancheng...

As if the situation of both sides was completely unstable, the county soldiers blocked the cave in the city gate of Jijun Nancheng by the rain of arrows shot from the condescending nest cart. Although they had already been killed or injured as soon as they appeared, it might be the reason why the county magistrate Qiu Xiaogang was very strict in supervision? After the group of arrows fell down, the county soldiers behind rushed out fearlessly; as if they had made up their minds to 'even if they were dead, they would rush out to destroy the catapult that poses a huge threat to Jijun City', and went on one after another, regardless of casualties and continued to rush out of the south gate.

After all, the number of soldiers that the nest cart can carry is limited, so the arrow rain will naturally create a momentary spacing between wheels, which is sparse. Therefore, the county soldiers who continued to rush out of the south gate of Jijun City rushed across the suspension bridge in constant casualties, rushed towards the wall cart, catapult cart, etc. that put huge pressure on Jijun City.

At this time, the wall carts, trenchers, chariots and other vehicles commanded by Liu Heita just started to drag back and evacuate because they were very heavy...

At this time, it truly highlighted how fast, sharp, and aggressive the Iron Cavalry was in the era of cold weapons! It proved what important position the Iron Cavalry occupies in the duel between the two armies!

The wooden wheel and dry shaft are accompanied by the harsh sound of "squeaking and twisting" and the ruthless sound of "banging" vehicles that have just retreated are about to be chased by the county soldiers who rushed out of the south gate of Ji County City, and are about to face the situation of being destroyed and being passively beaten...

Xiong Kuohai sent him to lead the cavalry to Xu Shiye, who was following the response. Although he had already rode his horse from the middle passage to the infantry's army formation without delay, he ordered the infantry formations on both sides of the passage to press forward urgently. However, because he started the operation, it seemed that the speed was half a beat slower and could not arrive in time in the distance.

At this time, Xu Shiye, who was driving the infantry forward, couldn't help but reflect on himself:

This is just that both sides have devoted themselves to a medium-scale battle with a base of thousands of people, and they have made a little omission in their overall tactical design. The world is competing for the destiny of the army. There are almost everywhere in the battle to determine the universe: a gust of wind, the Red Cliff burned up all the 830,000 Cao Cao's army; a rumor destroyed Fu Jian's millions of troops; an self-righteous idea made Duke Xiang of Song a joke for the ages... etc. A slight difference is a thousand miles of mistakes! I still need to practice more in the future, and be meticulous in thinking, considerate and reasonable in the strategy and tactics!

Of course, this small omission that has appeared now has been resolved in time by Xiongkuohai, who has led three hundred cavalry to rush up from the flanks...

When the county soldiers were about to rush to this moment, as if the "old cow pulled a broken cart", the iron cavalry that was swept up like a whirlwind arrived like lightning under the leadership of Xiongkuohai.

Xiongkuohai, who was leading the way, swung the one-legged bronze man in his hand like a windmill like a giant god. The one-legged bronze man carried the whistling wind, causing the county soldiers where he passed by him to die and die as soon as they touched it. The sound of flesh and blood shattered and the dying howlings mixed together made people feel chilling, and the aura that soared into the sky seemed to make the heaven and earth sobbed... Wherever the three hundred iron cavalry and iron hooves that followed closely behind Xiongkuohai horse passed, the broken limbs of the county soldiers flew across, and the blood flowing also dyed the earth into a miserable dark red...

This is the cruelty of war and the great power that the Iron Cavalry must have in the age of cold weapons!
