Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4422 On the brink of desperation
Fang Jun understands that there is no perfect and flawless army in any era in this world. Armed with iron cavalry, men and horses, armored to the teeth, they are almost invulnerable and rock-solid, but horse legs that cannot be wrapped in iron armor are is the only downside.

Back then, Wanyan Zongbi's five thousand iron Buddhas attacked Lin'an from north to south, sweeping the city and land, sweeping the Yellow River, and finally drinking the Yangtze River. They were invincible and invincible until they met Yue Fei.

The Yue family army trained an army specially designed to destroy the Iron Buddha. When the Iron Buddha charged into battle, they slashed the legs of the horses with a Mazha knife, causing the horses to fall and be unable to charge. The North counterattacked and recovered the rivers and mountains.

Of course, if you want to use this method to destroy the Tiefutu, you must have an army with strict military discipline and sacrifice your life. "Shaking the mountains is easy, but shaking the Yue family's army is difficult."

There must be, but the right guard under Yu Chigong's command is definitely not...

Smashing the horse's legs with heavy weapons did pose a great threat to the armored cavalry. For a while, many armored horses fell to the ground wailing.

However, the horses are moving in coordination and echoing each other, and the impact force is huge. It is extremely difficult to get close to the horses and smash the legs of the horses. Often, more than a dozen people come forward and only one or two people can get close. After they get close, they find the target. The war horse was already galloping forward, and the horse in front of him was replaced by another one. Before he could make a move, he was kicked away by the galloping horse's hooves...

After paying huge casualties and succeeding a few times at the beginning, although the rebels did not dare to retreat due to the military order, they just danced and danced around the armored cavalry and waved their weapons, not daring to go forward, causing the armored cavalry to continue to move forward like a storm. Charging, he ran straight into the Chinese army where Li Daozong was sitting. For a while, the horses neighed and the soldiers howled miserably, smashing the Chinese army into pieces and bleeding.

Li Daozong's face was livid, and he repeatedly roared and ordered: "We must hold on, and the enemy will be surrounded!"

The army behind him rushed forward like a tide, trying to surround the armored cavalry heavily, and then gradually nibbled away.

Fang Junchong was at the forefront, with the horse in his hand flying up and down to be invincible. He felt tremendous pressure for a moment when he rushed in front of Li Daozong's central army. The possibility of Gong Gong wanting to penetrate the enemy's formation and capture Zhaode Palace in one fell swoop was too small, so he immediately made a decision, reined in the horse and turned to the left, passing in front of the formation before the rebels reorganized their formation, and galloped eastward.

Behind him, a thousand armored cavalry followed closely behind, slashing across the front of the rebel army like a huge sickle. Wherever the torrent of steel passed, it brought blood rain all over the sky and stumps everywhere, until the whole army charged But passing by, corpses lay across the pillows on the battlefield.

Yu Chigong's right guard failed to inflict too much damage on the armored cavalry, and he couldn't even block it. He watched the armored cavalry killing wildly and then walked away. Before he could recover, he was charged in formation The heavy-armored pawns pressed on and suppressed, so they could only continue to retreat to avoid their edge.

Li Daozong also hurriedly organized his troops to make some adjustments, intending to go forward and encircle the heavy armored infantry with Yu Chigong. However, the school captain came to report that Fang Jun had led the armored cavalry all the way to the east, and now he was about to reach the palace wall. Li Daozong suddenly panicked. For headaches.

The Zhaode Hall is to the south of the Wude Hall and to the north of the Imperial Academy. The east side is separated by an imperial garden and some palaces are next to the palace wall, and separated from the East Palace by a wall.

If Fang Jun charged east to the palace wall, and then went south along the palace wall, he would go around to the east and south sides of Zhaode Hall. Jun rushed into the Zhaode Hall, and the Jin Wang Li Zhi in the Zhaode Hall could not escape the catastrophe...

Regardless of encircling the heavy armored infantry of You Tunwei, Li Daozong quickly ordered the Chinese army to move eastward to fill the gap between Zhaode Hall and the palace wall and block the route of armored cavalry going south.

Yu Chigong was far away, and he didn't know the route of the armored cavalry. I thought that Li Daozong would be able to see the opportunity of the battle and led the army to join him to encircle and suppress the heavy armored infantry. I have no choice but to retreat and retreat.

The heavy armored infantry did not pursue and kill, and then turned back to the vicinity of Wudemen to attack the rebels who were still besieging the city.

……

In Zhaode Hall, Li Zhi's face was ugly and he was sitting on pins and needles.

When the news of the fall of Wudemen came, Li Zhi almost celebrated with everyone in the hall and shouted long live. As long as the Datang Center is in his hands, no matter whether Li Chengqian is dead or alive, he can immediately announce his enthronement and proclaim the truth. In the world, as to whether it will lead to separatism between the East and the West, and frequent civil strife, that's a later story.

However, before the joy on his face faded, news came that the reserve team of Youtunwei had come out from Wudemen, which made the joy slightly curb.

But even so, Li Zhi didn't think that a mere [-] soldiers and horses would be able to stop the car with one's arms and turn the situation around.

Tens of thousands of troops besieged Wude Hall, the defenders lost sight of each other, and retreated steadily. Now there is a huge gap in the last line of defense. How can the right guards be able to resist it?Even if the reserve team left by Fang Jun is fierce and good at fighting, it is not enough to change fate against the sky.

This is the unanimous opinion of everyone in the hall.

But not long after, the news that the army led the iron cavalry to fight vertically and horizontally almost pierced through the entire position was like a thunderbolt half-exploding in the hall, making everyone pale and dizzy with shock.

3000 people are indeed not many. Compared with the tens of thousands of rebels, they are just mantis arms blocking the car. However, among the 3000 people, [-] armored cavalry and [-] heavy armored infantry are another matter. , The heavy armored infantry is even more invulnerable and invincible in such a closed area.

In particular, Yu Chigong and Li Daozong were leading the army to fight outside, and there were no soldiers proficient in military affairs in the palace, which made Li Zhi even more frightened and panicked.

Hearing the shouts of killing from far to near, as if it was outside the main hall, Li Zhi even had the idea of ​​exiting Chang'an City at that moment...

But fortunately, the shouts of killing quickly faded away, allowing him to stabilize his mind.

He asked the guard at the door: "How is the battle outside?"

The imperial guards went out to inquire, and turned back after a while: "His Royal Highness, Fang Jun personally led the armored cavalry to rush through Duke E's position and cut through most of Jiangxia County King's position. It is only one step away from here. However, the king of Jiangxia County led his army to fight to the death and forced him to retreat, and now Fang Jun has retreated to the east."

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. On the battlefield, it is important to go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times. Since Fang Jun failed to penetrate Li Daozong's position this time and had to retreat, then as long as there are no major mistakes, he must not be able to threaten Zhaode again. temple.

Xiao Yu's expression on the side was full of worry: "Now that Fang Jun is leading troops outside and rushing to and fro, but no one can stop him, it is really a big threat, and it will make Jiangxia County King and the referendum of E Kingdom to be wary and be in a dilemma."

Li Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Yu explained: "If Fang Jun still sits in Wude Gate, we only need to attack by force. No matter whether we can capture it or not, there is no other way. Therefore, we can put all our eggs in one basket and fight hard. But now Fang Jun is leading a thousand outfits. The iron cavalry left Wudemen, cruising in the area between Wudemen and Zhaode Hall, coming and leaving whenever they wanted, no one could do anything about it, if they wanted to continue to concentrate their forces to storm Wude Hall, they had to not only defend the room Jun's attack on the back line caused the army's morale to be unstable, and it is even more necessary to guard against him coming directly to attack the Zhaode Palace. Naturally, Jiangxia County King and E Guogong dare not go all out against the Wude Palace. But if they can't capture the Wude Palace, even if So what if Fang Jun was completely encircled and wiped out? It would only delay the opportunity of the battle. Until now, the Youtun Guard is still in chaos, so it can be seen that the Xuanwu Gate has not been lost. It can be seen that Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman did not capture the Xuanwu Gate. Once the army arrives, the two of them will have no choice but to retreat."

The implication is that now it is impossible to rely on foreign aid. Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman can restrain the troops outside the city from entering the city to reinforce the Wude Hall. possible.

If you want to succeed in the first battle, you can only count on Yu Chigong and Li Daozong.

Then the paradox appeared, Fang Jun was now cruising outside, which made Yu Chigong and Li Daozong both know that the defense force of Wude Hall was extremely empty, but they did not dare to go all out.

In case Fang Jun stole his hometown instead of taking down Wude Palace, he would lose miserably...

Li Zhi was speechless, how could this battle be fought so uselessly?Regardless of winning or losing, there has never been a hearty battle from the beginning to the end, and there has never been a time when all kinds of constraints and restraints made it impossible to fight with all your strength, and finally fell. At present, we are in a dilemma, and we are in a dilemma.

Moreover, this Fang Jun was only known for his force in the past. He was born with supernatural power and bravely crowned the three armies. Every time he fought, he relied on the excellent equipment of his troops to crush the enemy. It seems that he has suddenly opened up, and he no longer has the brave and incomparable style of the past, but instead shows his excellent strategic side.

Therefore, Li Zhi regretted it more and more, only hated why he hadn't been able to recruit Fang Jun to work for him in the first place?

Li Chengqian can just sit back and watch Princess Changle communicate with Fang Jun secretly and even contribute to the flames, so can he himself!It's not even Changle's elder sister, so what's the harm in giving Fang Jun the si?As long as Fang Jun can be loyal to his subordinates, even if he sends all the sisters out, he won't hesitate at all, anyway, Fang Jun likes it.

Having said that, which man can refuse such a temptation?Ask yourself, Li Zhi also finds it very exciting...

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, discarded all thoughts, and said to the imperial guard: "Go and tell the king of Jiangxia County and the Duke of E, that the king will sit here and will not escape. Let them do whatever they want. If they are killed by the thieves, it will be natural." It's not the destiny, this king accepts his fate."

At this time, if you are still tied up and unable to go all out, how is it different from surrendering?Since it is either life or death, you have to be willing to take risks and fight hard. The success or failure of life and death is up to God to decide.
